I recently purchased a new Wintec 16gb micro sd card. I transferred all info off the old to the new and 5 days later most info had disappeared from the card, Fortunately I created a backup on my computer and restored it from there, last night it did the same thing and there is no backup for the last 6 or 7 days, I have a rooted Evo with stock rom, I have Titanium Backup, it erases the backup file also, Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
I have heard a couple people on these forums say that is a bad card.i also have one and while I do not have any problems with it yet, I did have an issue where my backups would not restore. The only advice I can give is format the card on the phone if you installed it pre formatted, or did your format on the computer.

I did it with computer, sorry for long to reply.
My first one died on me completely after a month, my second is still going after nearly two though.
RMA your card for a new one. I was going to buy the wintec card from newegg and than I started reading the comments and more than 60% of the people posting got bad cards and they would fail after a short period of use.
Is there a memory checker availible?
Wow nothing like scientific testing on developer forum. It is no wonder you are having issues with a company that makes iPhone screens in a Chinese sweat shop that uses carcinogenic chemicals
Ok so this started happening when I switched to unofficial CM9 from this forum. Constant "your sd card was unexpectedly removed" errors. Usually right when I open the camera app, or try to play music. Go figure. Once I reset the phone (doesn't always work) the problem goes away until I leave the phone long enough for it to go idle I guess. First thing I figured was the OS change. So I restored a backup. Same problem. Backed up the sd card and wiped the phone and sd card. Reinstalled CM7.2. Nope. Same problem. Forgot to mention, I had already tried both of my spare 16 gig cards, two of which were from a different manufacturer. One I formatted with my computer, then other I left alone and just deleted the files from it with the phone to rule out my computers card reader going bad. Both had the same exact issues. I even switched to a sense based rom called UKB. Same. Problem. Although this time it seems to be a little better. Worked all day yesterday at least, problem only coming back after the phone was on charge all night. I could live with that but I doubt it'll keep that up all night. I've read just about every forum post on every forum. Loads of people suggesting reformatting without using quick format, formatting with different settings, using various apps that change the cache size. Regardless, none of this was necessary before, and definitely shouldn't be necessary now. I'm a couple months past my warranty or I would get a replacement like I did before when I had headphone jack issues. Really sick of my phones all going bad before upgrade. Maybe if I called they would see that I have not been a happy customer, but a customer nonetheless since like 1998. Who knows. But anyway, does ANYONE have any suggestions? And please don't suggest going to settings and hitting mount. That suggestion is in just about every forum post about the problem and it oddly drives me crazy. Probably because of how obvious it is. That option is always greyed out of course. Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to help. I always want to smash this phone every time I need to take a picture of something really cool and my phone decides to act up.
Come on guys, nothing?
I'm having the exact same problem, and I'm 100% stock, always have been. I have no idea what's going on, but it's really frustrating, especially because of all my apps I keep on the SD.

Well the best part? Now the phone doesn't recognize the card at all. This phone has been in a case since purchase. Never been dropped. Has been tested with multiple cards in multiple formats. But looks like HTC is yet another company that designs phones to intentionally break over the course of a year or two. Go figure. Phone is only a little over a year old. Then again the board is older since it was a refurb. First phone had issues with the headphone plug.

Maybe try unexpectedly inserting the sd card? /s
But in reality, that stinks.

Haha that one made me smile. I can just see myself in the dark with one of those long armed desk/work lamps shoving an sd card into my phone and yelling "SURPRISE!" while laughing like an evil villain. This truly has driven me nuts though. I've been stuck on my sad old OG Droid. You know, the one that made android popular but is painfully slow when you're used to a phone overclocked to 1.5 ghz. Even with this one at 900 mhz (all it can handle with a standard voltage kernel without crashing) it often freezes up multitasking. Navigation takes a good couple minutes to fully load a small route, and it simply isn't gonna happen if music is playing.
HOWEVER, I decided to try again. Dinc2 recognized a card again. Not sure why. Whatever. So because the card works even temporarily, I flashed a new radio and am now downloading unofficial cm10 and all that good stuff. Gonna flash everything after triple wiping, then I'll wipe cache again after flashing everything. Just maybe that new radio and lots of murdering the wipe button, it shall survive. It just doesn't make any sense to be a hardware problem since it's only intermittent when the sd card is suddenly active after not being accessed for some time. I can sit there taking pictures and video for hours while playing music. But once the screen is off for 10 minutes and I go look at those pictures, the sd card is suddenly removed. I'll keep you updated. Downloads are complete. Muahahahahaha
So I did end up flashing CM9 instead, because CM10 was just too buggy for my liking. However I used the newest kernel available. It was in the unofficial CM10 forum post.
Radio seems to have fixed the problem though. SD card hasn't unmounted once. We'll see how it works out over the course of the day but it copied all my music over wifi last night, finished at about 2AM, then sat there until I woke up at 6 completely idle. Picked it up and went straight to gallery, and it loaded pictures. Took a snapshot with the camera, then played a song. Everything looks to be in order. I flashed the radio that was apparently in the leaked ICS developer update.
Disregard the suggested fix I posted prior. I mean if you have the problem you can try it... since it seemed to fix it for a day. But it's right back to it again. Downloaded and installed ukb evolution 2.1, and it did the same on that as well. So I guess I live with it for the time being, never buy an HTC device again, hope like crazy a moto device lasts longer, and fork over the scam of an extra year of warranty when I upgrade. Really, what kind of world do we live in where we have to spend money for a company to stand by their product for longer than a lousy year? When standard contracts are for two years, it leaves an entire year where the device can just stop functioning properly, like this one, and then you're stuck paying 600 bucks for a device that cost HTC maybe 100 bucks to make. And even at that ridiculous cost, it still takes two iterations of android before they even suggest that they might update the device to the older version, over three years after launch. Awesome little fact, if the one year warranty restarted when I got the phone replaced in the first place for an issue with the headphone jack, I would still be under warranty. But nope, it wasn't replaced with a new device, but someone elses phone that was then fixed and then sent to me. I still hate that I can buy a brand new phone, and get a used one in return because these companies refuse to build a phone without trying to design it to die at the end of it's "useful" life. People will pay to upgrade if they want to. If the phone barely lasts the full two years if that, someone in their right mind simply wouldn't buy from them again. My original droid was out of warranty by 8 months when I had it replaced TWICE. Why? Because I had it replaced 5 times before that for headphone jack problems. Only reason I didn't buy another moto phone was because they decided to lock down bootloaders for good, while HTC was announcing that they were becoming dev friendly and unlocking their devices. Customers always get screwed. Alright end rant. Sorry guys, extremely frustrated.
I had the same problem on the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro, FWIW. Probably unrelated.
Same here with a 2 year old dinc2. SD card works fine as far as the phone is awake. Works fine in other phones and computers either...
Every 6-12 months, I have this problem and it's blindingly frustrating. As it turned out, my MicroSD card was starting to get tired, and swapping it out with a brand new flash card from Staples resolved it completely. Just like the OP, I had two used 32GB MicroSD cards -- one of them an expensive high-speed Sandisk -- that reported no errors under Windows or CWM. Installing it in my DInc2 (CM10), it would run for a while, but then just decide to unmount.
It may sound illogical, but try purchasing a new, inexpensive MicroSD card (I bought another Sandisk) and see if the problem goes away permanently.

I tried two different sd cards on two different roms - cm7 and evervolv and the cards kept dismounting about twice a day. I then turned on "protect sd card" under developer options on evervolv rom. I don't know what it does but haven't had the problem for about a week. It might be a coicidence though. Will see...
fixed

I had the same problem for monthes. I had gone through all the efforts to fix it. finally I found a clue.
On the back cover, there are two pairs of pins which supposed to connected to the terminals on the phone, which are not connected well. so I bent the springs up a little bit and made connection well. (be very careful not break the springs). then SD card show up right away. It's being working for days and no more problem.
hope it helps everyone.

My dinc2 started with this problem about 3 months ago. I was running the psychochilly cm10.1. Then I decided to try the miui v5 ('alpha'?) rom which had a known bug that the SD card won't Mount. After about two minutes, it crashed, so I just decided to restore my psychichilly backup. Thenextday i noticed that the sd card was unmounted several times when I wanted to take or look at a pic. I found that if I took my otterbox off, along with the back plastic and tapped the back of the phone near the bottom on the edge of the table gently it would magically recognize my SD card. Not too long after it would pop up that 'SD card unexpectedly removed' message. So. Whether it's hardware or software related, I'm not sure. But I'm thinking hardware. On the other hand, I had to use the tacoroot method to s-off. Maybe an effect that took a whole year to happen. Either way I think the only way to fix this issue, besides reflowing the motherboard around the SD card slot, is to replace the motherboard, which I just might do. Kinda itching to flash the new PAC.

If the card is seated securely and you are getting those errors sounds like a defective card.
Have you tried a low level format?
Have you tried other phones, devices?
If so do you get errors on those also?
Have you run any test on the card itself. Are you sure you are not mistaking issues with the new SD card permissions (or lack there of) for errors?
Those are some of the steps I suggest to figure out if the card is bad right out of the box, yes this happens a lot more than you think it does, or that card don't play nice with device this still happens even though it should not, or the card is on its way out. If nothing seems to be working try and get a replacement that should fix your issues and if it don't, don't buy that kind of card anymore

I have never had a issue with SanDisk but is the luck or unlucky of the draw[emoji1]
Formatting many times is no good for SD cards should really only format when you HAVE TO. There is really no need to format reformat... Usually after some time of using the card you can get back some lost performance by performing a low level format. But again really should only do that when you NEED to.
I have the Pro version (the Grey and more expensive one) Samsung card you have listed, I love it as far as performance and what not but I use it quite often for various devices not only in the N4, but for many people an expensive high capacity high performance card will be pretty much a waste (at least until root comes our way). Many people can survive on the devices memory alone, if I had to I totalaly could without any issues. Most things are streamed/synced/cloud and whatnot so there is no need to have a large amount of things stored on a SD specially when you take into consideration the new android sdcard permissions. Only system apps can even write to the card, no normal apps can.
This may change down the road hopefully, Google will be persuaded into changing that policy, or at least once we have root we can make our own rules.
Unfortunately Android has the stigma of being the "Least Secure Mobile OS" and I think Google is going to move in the direction trying to rectify this. That is going to be unfortunate for us I believe, because technically the statement that Android is the least secure of the mobile os's at this time is true. If the user knows nothing about computers, software, Linux and whatnot then yes this is true. But for many of the same reasons Android is considered vulnerable are the reasons the advanced user loves Android. Unfortunately I think many of these things are going to change and the advanced users will be stuck with solutions to problems we never had in the first place because the vast majority of people need there hand held in everything they do. LOL sorry about the rant but above that is my 2 cents of your card question.

I had the same problem with my Note4. I suspect this to be the cause of my recent problems with IndexService.
The last days I noticed an extreme batterydrainage. (50% in 4 hrs only cheching mail and reeding some ebook and newspaper) 44% usage by IndexService and 17% by screen.
At first i thought it was my Next UI . Deleted it . No changes.
Then I found out about similar issues on S5 and note 3 to be caused by corrupt pdf files. I deleted all documents, pictures, ... everything! Nothing changed.
i took out the SDcard. The same or even worse. Keeps the phone checking for SDcard when none installed?
So I reconnected the SDcard and formatted it again. STILL NO CHANGES.
Suggestions anyone?

no and i agree with you regarding your rant.. it's just sad there is no recognition for the hardcore base user group.
So i think i'm gonna bite the bullet and buy the pro... I've done some more research and it seems that specifically the Ultra 64gb sandisk card manufactured a year or later ago has a technical 'fault' according to sandisk. i don't care for another sandisk so i'm gonna just buy the pro...
although i feel exhaustd with sandisk.. there is a 64gb extreme sandisk microsd ...
how is the quality of the extreme cards compared to the samsung pro?

I had issues with my 64g SanDisk ultra when I got my note 4. Worked fine in my note 2 until I moved it to my note 4. Then I started to get the SD card unexpectedly removed, constantly remounting. Formatted it in the phone in the computer nothing worked. Couldn't even copy back the stuff that was on it. Purchased a PNY 4k compatible micro sd and it works great. I will never get another SanDisk.
HTC 10 damaged my micro SD card. Did happen to anyone else?
I listened music form my phone on my way to work in the morning and then, on way back home firstly music didn't play, so I found that card is not recognized by the system even after restart. I have checked it later on two computers with 2 different adapters and no appliance can recognize the card. Branded 64 GB Lexar fast card. HTC wasn't restarted or so, wasn't even hot I kept in whole day in the pocket. I'm not sure what to do, I mean don't want to lose another memory card which I probably buy.
And maybe, by any chance, someone have any idea how to check memory card whether is completely dead?

It's more likely a short life span micro sd card, and this kind of suck always happen once a while.
Don't blame your phone unless other one or two micro sd cards also die in the first two weeks.
Hi, The reason I'm asking is to avoid the risk in the future. If it happens to anybody else I will rather buy some cheaper card.
That memory card was bought for GoPro so I use it for many other apliances without any problem and suddenly it broke with HTC 10. At least I noted it here for statistics.

...and if it had broken in one of your "many other appliances" it wouldn't have been broken by your HTC 10.
Cards fail. Cheap cards fail often.
Lesson, buy more than one card and don't recycle them from device to deice.
Another lesson, don't ever buy cheap cards.

The HTC 10 does appear to be finicky with microSD cards. My 128GB Sandisk that worked totally fine on a Galaxy S5 kept giving me problems on the HTC 10. I wonder if the phone is stressing the cards too much somehow (for instance if it is scanning the card too often for media files and you happen to have tons of media content on the card like in my case).
Thank guys for the reply,
I never broke before any memory card and that one was not cheap. Happily I can buy now double capacity and double speed for half of the price which I spend for the last one. I'm planning to buy Lexar 128GB. That card did work perfectly but only few days.
I'm having issues with my card as well. I purchased the SanDisk Ultra 200GB Micro SD from amazon. I put it straight into the phone and ran diagnostics on it to confirm it was a true SanDisk card and its read/write speeds which were in line with manufacturer's specs (88 read/ 14 write). Within the day it was having issues pulling images off the card. All the images saved directly to the card had a grey area or "box" over some portion of the photo that would correct after a few seconds leaving the full picture to view. The images could be sent with no problem but eventually they seemed to become corrupted. I figured it was the slow write speed causing the issue so I replaced it with a new Samsung ProPlus 128GB card (95 read/ 90 write) and the issue still persists. Not sure if anyone else is seeing anything similar.
if your looking for a new one, this one is great. very fast speeds 90mb write 95mb read. bit on the spendy side so hopefuly it was just the card failing and not the HTC 10 eating them
I haven't had any issues with 1000s of files on mine so far, crossing fingers
Same here, Kingston 128 GB micro SD worked fine on my s7 edge. Inserted the same card in my HTC 10 and it was readable for the first hour, after that the card was not recognised by the device. The card wasn't even recognised by my Mac and PC. I'm glad I had my photos backed up on google photos.
My 64gb kingston kicked the bucket in my HTC 10. Last weekend I woke my phone up and it said sd card unexpectedly removed. Card was not readable in any other device.
Got a Sandisk as a replacement as never had an issue with their cards in the past. The kingston only lasted 4 weeks, but I'm putting it down to just a faulty card.
If the sandisk dies too, then I'll be a bit concerned it could be the phone...
Im Using Lexar Pro SDCARD 128gb and havent had issues using it. The card was also formatted as adaptive.

So, there is two of us. There is one only connection - 64gb.
Where is Sherlock?
by [email protected]
You're made me worry. I use SanDisk 200 Gb, it's kinda expensive one.
Worry for what?
I don't have any issues with my HTC10, but I broke a 64gb Sandsik in my Sony X10i, phone just got hot. Shut down, Card didn't work anymore. And another one SanDisk 128gb was in my Sony Z2 when I replaced the back plate somehow the MicroSD got broken.
The 64gb Card had a Lifetime Warranty and the 128gb a 10 year. Not sure how long my 200gb card is now. Think they reduced it to 3years or 5.
But yeah, went to their Homepage, registered the cards. Requested replacement, they sent someone here to pick them up, 5-9days later I got the new Cards via Mail
So yeah, always back Up your important stuff somewhere else and who cares if they fail. It's annoying Yes, but **** happens.
SD cards can fail in ANY device. I wouldn't go as far as saying it failed because of the device. Quality of the cards is what really dictates how soon failing can occur. A knockoff SanDisk failed in a few months while the real one has lasted years for me. I highly recommend SanDisk and Samsung SD cards because I have had no issues with their original products.
EBay and some Amazon sellers have tendencies to sell fake cards so beware.

I woke up this morning and my HTC 10 says that the micro card couldn't be recognized. Crap. Did a search and found this thread. The card is a Lexar 64gb card. I went to Walmart this afternoon and got a Samsung 128gb card. Hoping this card will last my long tern stress test. Ha!

if your looking for a new one, this one is great. very fast speeds 90mb write 95mb read. bit on the spendy side so hopefuly it was just the card failing and not the HTC 10 eating them
I haven't had any issues with 1000s of files on mine so far, crossing fingers

been using this without any problem 128gb and prior to this i tried samsung evo + 128 and that worked fine....
but as the OP stated it is true that many users using diferent sd cards has been facing issues with htc 10.....
some has issues on some firmware, some on custom kernels, some on different formats so its wise to say that there is something beyond a faulty sd card itself.
in all the custom rom threads you could see sd card issues highlighted at one point or other by mutliple users including devs
I have the same issue, and now i remember this is the second one in my htc 10, first one a pny 128gb worked well for more than one year in my previos s5 and after a month in my htc it failed, i blame the sd card that day and decide to buy an 128gb lexar and today after 5 months it failed, or i have a very bad luck now or my htc is damaging my sd cards.
Constantly getting sd card pop up saying click here to transfer files,
despite swiping it away,closing it down, it keeps reappearing every 20 minutes or so!
It seems a problem on some Samsung phones inc Note 10 Plus 5g, but despite trying
most things people have suggested on the net, i cant stop this buggy pop up !
Have even factory reset phone again, and sd card, both in phone, and on laptop
Any one got any solution for it, or have i got a faulty phone?
Card i'm using is a brand new, Integral 256GB Micro SD Card 4K Video Premium High Speed Memory Card SDXC Up to 100MB s Read Speed and 50MB s Write speed V30 UHS-I U3 Class 10
Thanks in advance for any help

Never heard of the brand of SD Card you're using.
My guess, since it's brand new, it's defective at best.
I'd return it for a refund & get a better known brand such as SanDisk or Samsung.
My guess is that you have a faulty SD card. I would return it if I were you or get a new one. Cheap SD cards malfunction often. I've been a victim myself. That's why I only buy reputable names from sources that will accept returns if damaged. I've lost precious memories due to this issue.

Thanks for replies, i actually reset phone and card again this morning
thought i fixed the fault, but after 2 hours it came back!
So back to Amazon ,and back to Samsung sd card! lol
Just put the card back into my old Note 8, just to see if it happens on that phone,
as Note 10 is a refurbished like new, and need to see if it the phone or card thats actually faulty,
otherwise retailer is gunna blame the card, and not their phone,and Amazon are going to blame the phone more than likely ! lol

A hard reset (OS reload) of the phone effectively addresses viruses, trojans and old OS loads but little else.
Many times the same settings issue remains to be toggled or triggered again.
Find and address the core issue directly.
•Clean card contacts with a tissue and 97% isopropyl alcohol.
•Do a low level format on card if this doesn't resolve the issue, replace the card.
This card works perfectly out of the box:

Integral are a good quality lower cost SD card supplier in UK
Not sure how to help the OP out but I have the same card and no issues.
Well i formated old Note 8 memory card
128GB Micro SD SDXC Samsung EVO Plus UHS-I U3 Card
Been in phone now for nearly a day, and no errors or notifications have popped up on my Note 10 Plus!
Obviously the phone didnt like something with this certain Integral card, as it worked back in my old Note 8 without any problem?
One of lifes mysteries, but now gone back to Amazon for my £28 refund, and hopefully no more hassle.
Thanks to everyone who replied

Do a low level format on the computer using a apk like Lexar's designed to do a low level format. Simply wiping the card isn't enough sometimes and without a low level format it will remain corrupted.
Sharing a card between two devices can cause card corruption, try to avoid doing so. Usually you can swap between two Androids but be very wary of swapping with other devices like cams etc. Do a full format in the new device to ensure compatibility and stability. Not doing this can result in corrupted card even if it may seem to be functional at first.
You can lose all the data on the card like this and even if you can recover it, it will be in bits and pieces... more or less a useless heap of disjointed data.

I did all the low level format, on both cards, but it still didnt stop the card playing up in my Note 10, and actually corrupting 2 pics,
so i wasnt going to risk that, just needed to make sure it wasnt the phone at fault, as it was only a few days old, but guess it was the card!
lets hope it goes ok from now on! lol

Sorry to hear that.
I've never blown out a ram stick or SD card.
Remember they can be destroyed by one ESD event; their data ports have limited ESD protection. It can happen instantly or fail weeks even years latter, multiple smaller ESD insults can cause accumulative damage over time as well.
•Never touch the contacts.
•Keep static charges low by keeping RH at 50% or higher in the room.
Lol no wool sweaters.
•Touch yourself to an earth ground to discharge any static buildup or use an ESD strap/mat to keep everything near the same potential.
A little extra care can avoid a lot of cursing latter on...

Only ever had one sd ever fail a Toshiba one!

Mend pc's in spare time,. so know all about static, perhaps this card was stored next to wooly jumpers in Amazon warehouse! lol
Trust me to get a faulty one!

If you play with a good ESD meter you'll be amazed how much of charge you can build up on almost any nonconductor. Once the RH drops below 20% ESD becomes very problematic and widespread.
High G impacts ie dropping a chip onto concrete from 3 feet can also kill a chip.
ESD is what kills most of these cards and ram sticks though. If you can see, feel or hear static it's already enough to damage semiconductors. Punch a microscopic hole through an insulation layer only a couple microns thick (doesn't take much voltage to do that) and it's a done deal.
Their service life is tens of thousands of cycles so it's doubtful one will wear out prematurely if used with care. High cycle usage though can wear them out.
My oldest flash cards are 16 yo and still functional.
I've had multiple SanDisk cards fail and a PNY. I've had really good reliability with the Samsung EVO Plus and Select cards.
You can pick up a 512GB Samsung EVO Select from Amazon for under $80.

Same here, sandisk cards I have used failed miserably, also kingston ones, I ended using ADATA cards, not a single one has failed, ad for speed, I really find them adequate, at least for normal std uses

When you say "fail" what do you mean?
A low level format couldn't recover it?
Showed multiple bad sectors?
These cards can be corrupted fairly easily but can be completely salvaged with a low level format.
Without it they will be inaccessible and seem to be "dead". Even new cards can do this.

I mean as completely dead and unusable. It would not recognize the partition. Sandisk had released a bad batch of 128GBs a while back. They were unreadable on multiple devices.

May have been dead but a corrupted card will behave like this. A 3rd party PC low level formatting app can access these corrupted cards and repair their file structure.
Normal formatting tools like Windows one will do nothing if it even can register their presence at all.

When I mean dead, I mean DEAD. I was unable to do ANYTHING. The partition was not even readable. I used different tools like Recuva and EASUS and got nothing. I've been using SD cards for YEARS. I know how to fix them.

If the computer software can't read what's there you won't see any partition. Androids wuv to do that.
That doesn't mean it's dead... as long as you have a low level formatting tool that it shows up when connected it probably is salvageable. Make sure any needed Window drivers are loaded...
If you've had multiple failures it's time to reexamine what you're doing.
I have close to 2 dozen flash cards with some dating back 16 years and no unrecoverable failures. Data was lost but not the bloody card!
