External SD card remove by itself

ibnrw — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 15:11:21 GMT

Hello, I recognize this problem two times since yesterday. The external SD card remove itself. Does anyone know why or what the problem is? There is no message that the external SD card is removed. I only see it when I try to open pics on external SD card. Then there is no external SD card. After reboot the phone the external SD card is back.

@ibnrw

that seems to be a faulty SD card.

@ibnrw

you could back up everything to your computer and then reformat the SD card.

I see this occasionally.

The card hasn't actually been removed, right?

I have some apps on my home screen that are stored on SD card and sometimes they have an icon next to them to indicate the SD card has been removed.

I just remove and re-insert the card and it resets.

Right, I don't remove the card. But I don't have stored apps on external SD card. After reboot card is available again. But don't know why it removes itself

Hi there,

I have noticed that since the last firmware update my SD card ejects itself occasionally. It then reinstalls itself.

This is very annoying as it tends to happen whilst I'm using the Music app and playing music.

Any suggestions on what is happening and how I can prevent it from happening again?
