Re: memory card unmounted/my phone keeps saying memory card removed.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone do you have? What brand is the microSD card, and did you buy it from a well-known store, or from a random seller on eBay?

SD cards can fail or become corrupt, so the phone might not be able to recognize it any more. This is more common with lesser brands (or no-name brands). Cards can also be counterfeit, which is more likely if you bought it from some random seller.

Try inserting the SD card into your computer's SD reader and run chkdsk to look for bad sectors: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html
