My new Galaxy Y shows "SD card removed unexpectedly" notification everyday. It gets fixed after removing and inserting the card. This is a very annoying problem. I'm having the latest Firmware and I also tried formatting the SD card. But the same problem keeps occurring. Please help me out in this regard.
 
I am having the same problem too..With the same phone...Plus sometimes calls wouldnt go..This too gets alrite aftr a restart.......
 
yeah its a hardware fault should go to samsung care but depends on luck as they will fix it and afterwards may arise again as with me but its purely luck sometime it does sometime it doesn't

I also had the same problem, then I replaced the MC with branded one and factory resetted the phone. Now I don't have this problem.
 
I faced same prob with my 3 days old galaxy y.it started after I updated my firmware thru samsung kies.now my firm ware is 2.3.6. but I have to get new sd card.now when ever I open sd card,it says scanning media again n again.what to do? is there any way to restore previous firmware.?
 
I m experiencing the same issue with my 2 week old samsung galaxy y. plz show some way out. i have Touchpal installed on my sd card. but as the card is unexpectadly removed, i cant usr the programme. again have to set it from settings. irritating.........
 
Guys,, before i updated my fone to the latest version,, my previous version is 2.3.5 and none of this problem rise. But until i updated it to the latest firmware via skies 2.3.6 same error occured.. sd card remove unexpectedly. Its not hardware fault.. the latest firmware 2.3.6 is the reason. >.<
all we have to do is endure this annoying error.. i hope this will be fixed on the upcoming firmware 2.3.7

Firmware 2.3.5 --> no issues or what so ever!

when i updated it to:

Firmware 2.3.6 --> Annoying error with the sd card remove unexpectedly when fone is in idle mode and fone restart 4 times a day. wtf! >.<

My advice.. for those whos still at 2.3.5 dont update your fone to 2.3.6
 
You got that right... I got the same problem after updating the firmware of my Galaxy Y... I hope they would release the next version immediately with the fix!
 
Even I have the same problem.....i gave my mobile 4 times for service centre....but no use.., PROBLEM REMAINS CONSTANT..
 
SOLUTION


Some user experienced SD removed unexpectly after updating there phone so i made this thread. Commonly problem ito sa Galaxy Y.

Step:

1. ROOT your phone

2. Install and open Root Explorer


3. Edit files in the folder/ sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179: 0/read_ahead_kb by pressing and holding the read_ahead_kb then choose open in text editor.

note: Ibang phone ay walang 179:0.. pero pwede ung 179:8


4. Replace the numbers in it from the default (128KB) to 1024 / 2048 / 4096 (according to taste max = 4096) and then save and exit.



3. read_ahead_kb Navigate the file again and select the permissions or hide tick marks on the User -> Write.

Sorry but I am also unfamiliar about this error.
Try formatting the sd card..
Can you give me your current stock ROM.
I have a dense doubt that custom ROM will solve it.

Try moving all your commonly use apps to your phone memory bro. In my end it helps a little. Now i'm trying to reformat my stock sdcard and see how it goes. :)

For some reason the /sys folder is in rw mode and something is making it default back to the original value of 128 after restarting the phone. I can't set it to ro mode which i believe might help.
