This just started happening to me this evening. I randomly get this message. .. Sdcard empty, unmounted, or not present. Never experienced an error like this in the past. I'm running Beans 7, sdswap, perseus kernel with 5g profile. Does anyone have a clue to this problem?

What class of sdcard do you have? Sdcard specs, please. Bet it's crap. Lol. Seriously. Not being a jerk. Troubleshooting.

Its a Sandisk Ultra 32gb Micro SDHC Class 10. Im very doubtful its a sdcard problem. U know of a better sdcard? Rebooting seems to fix the issue temporary

Did you get it from Amazon? If so it probably is a bad card. I've seen quit a few people who got a bad batch from ordering on Amazon. Try what Wolf said, backup and format

After doing a little research I see this seems to be a common issue. Just cant find a fix.... I'll try backing it up and reformatting it.

Tried that. Several times. Been having similar problems with my sd card. Its a samsung 64gb class ten. I cant find any of my downloads. I am a noob but I think the sd swap does something to the card. Only causes a problem if you flash a new rom (or reflash same) that doesn't have swap.

I slow reformatted mine and the error came up again after a few hours. Decided to just buy a new one so hopefully the card was just crapping out and not the phone. If end up posting again it must be the phone. Hope you don't hear from me again in this thread lol

Sandisk 64GB SDXC which happens to be Made in China is crap and confirmed by comments made by others on Amazon saying the same. Pay a little extra for Samsung 64GB SDXC and have the peace of mind.

Same issue for me and I bought my sdcard from Best Buy also...I am running Jelly Bean ROM B7. The card is only 2 months old so I doubt the card went bad, this has to be some app/process that is effecting the sdcard swap program. Very annoying and reboot of phone resolves issue but I have to reboot every hr, it is unreasonable. It only started happening to me since B7 which i installed about 7 days ago. I may trying going back to B6 which i was using with no issues for a while.

I'm just waiting for my Sandisk 64gb ultra cl10 to die bought it about 3 weeks ago so will see glad it has a 10year/lifetime warranty. Plenty of people are having same problems with these cards and not just in phones. Easy way to tell if its bad/going bad is to format it and stick it in another device see whats up... pretty sure if your card is not mounting or being seen it's going bad if it pops back up from time to time it's about to be dead.

Well I finally returned the sdcard at Best Buy which honors manufacturer warranties. Been a week on the new card, so far so good...
