Help SD Card Unexpectedly removed.

JustEli

I know there have been other posts about this but I feel I might have new information (but then again I haven't read every post). Like everyone else my phone will tell me that my SD card has been "unexpectedly removed". It happened before and I did temporarily fix it by backing up my data and reformatting it.

What I noticed when I reformatted it was that it would go so far and then disappear again. This is when I had it out of my phone and in a card reader on my computer. Certain files made it disappear. I don't remember which ones did it but I think I just deleted it.

Anyway, it's happening again. I was going to try defragging it just to see what would happen and every time it will stop at the same point and then disappear. If I don't choose to defrag it my computer is still able to read that it is there. After about the 5th time of trying to defrag it I decided I will just back it up again. It just keeps disappearing now when I try. I'm going to assume it's a certain file again and just backup each folder one by one and see if I can locate which file makes it disappear. If I can I will post what it is.

Phone: HTC Incredible
Micro SD: SanDisk Mobile Ultra 16GB Class 4

Edit: In the Android folder the com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget.news-content-cache folder and the com.google.android.apps.maps folder

Edit: In the download folder the Amazon_Appstore-release.apk file

Edit: a .png file in foursquare

Edit: something in the folder rerware

And that's it. I don't know if this helps. I know most people won't have what I have in my download folder but maybe it will help whoever figure out what's wrong. I guess those files are corrupted.

I was able to eat all the folders except the folders in the Android folder so I'm going to reformat the whole card.

Edit: I would have just changed "eat" to "delete" but I'm making cookies so I thought that little Freudian slip was funny.
 
I've changed display setting to shut down screen in 30 minutes,and i think this work.It look like there is bug in sleep mode/battery saving during the call.
 
I HAVE SOLVED MY GALAXY Y ERROR, but before that let me tell you the solutions that I had tried that did not work for me:

The error did not occur on my original memory card but when I switch to a Kingston 8GB Class 4 the error started. My co-worker uses the same phone and switch to the same mem card and also experiencing the error since changing it.

At first i didn't mind the error but when i rooted my phone to extend my internal memory by partitioning my micro sd the problem became a big impact on linked apps on my sd card so started asking solutions to google.

Sorry for the long introduction, this what I have tried to my phone:

1) Updating my firmware - DID NOT WORK
2) resetting my phone to factory settings and formatting my sd card inside the phone - DID NOT WORK
3) Using SD-Booster and tried setting the cache to different numbers 1024, 2048 and 4096 -DID NOT WORK

There 1 option left that I have read on 1 of the forums that works
CHANGING MY MICRO SD CARD- IT WORKS (YEHEY)

someone said that TRANSCEND and SAN DISK is very much compatible for android forums so I have tried it.

I bought TRANSCEND 8GB CLASS 10 ULTIMATE - REALLY WORKS AND I ALSO TRIED PARTITIONING IT AND WORKS PERFECTLY FINE.

The conclusion here is some of the android phones are not compatible to some micro sd card.

Hope it helps :) tell me if it works for you... please indicate your memory card so we can know what brand is not compatible for android phone especially Samsung Galaxy Y :)
