Vipinrahul — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 05:25:29 GMT

Am facing a big issue now.this morning the phone got stuck suddenly and could not do nothing. even pressing the power button did not help. so i had to remove battery manually and restart the phone. since then the phone is not reading the memory card and says unmounted. tried removing it and inserted it many times and it is still not getting detected. have so many things in the card. tried the card in another phone and a card reader and it is still not getting detected. an adnroid app was being updtaed and after this the Android Booster app was scanning it as usual. it is during this scan that the phone hung up and was frozen. any suggestions? i have everything in the card and i need it to work or atlease retreive the data. the issue is the card is not being detected by any device...........help please.............

just remove the SD card, repair the phone with either PCC or Update Service and then put the SD card back on your phone, see if that works. (just try it)

here is SUS

Update Service (SUS)

if the SD card it's NOT recognize by any other phone and/or computer, then most likely your SD card its dead sorry, it happens.

sync your contacts with google

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

also

Settings -> privacy -> Back up my data and Automatic restore should be selected

and also

Install "backup SMS+" to back up your SMS, MMS and Call Logs to your Gmail

Hi All,

Even i am facing same issue as Rahul reported.

After upgrading to ICS4.0.4 (Build Number 4.1.B.0.431), SD card is not getting detected any further on the PC.

It shows "SD Card connected" but nowhere SD card contents can be seen on the PC.

Even the link to update the service is a total waste of time. It didnt help me either.

This is a bug and has to be fixed.

I am having the same problem, I have tried to re-install with PCC but I keep getting a message saying that I need an SD card to use PCC. I have lost some apps, music, but more importantly all my photos. I am truly p'd off because I pay a lot of money each month for this phone, and I rely on it for everything now!
