I'm thinking your SD card is faulty, and you are making them send you new phones for nothing.
Or there is something physically wrong with the SD card, that is damaging the card tray on the phone when you insert it.
Either way, 3 different phones, same SD card, same problem. Card is probably the cause.

I just bought a 32gb class 4 micro sd card and after formatting it via my desire Z, i keep on running into a really really wierd problem.
I would connect my phone to the computer and set it as disk drive and drag/drop a group of files in it (ie. playlist file or small ringtone files) and as soon as I eject it and unplug the cable from my phone, the files are suddenly gone again.
What am I screwing up and how do I fix this?
Is it possible that my format method is wrong? if so, can someone explain what's the best way to format the card properly.
Why did you even format it in the first place?? Don't fix what's not broken...
What OS are you using on your computer?
I usually format every card i get as a habit. Don't know why, I was just taught to do that and never really thought it would hurt.
I'm using Windows 7
Try format it from your computer to FAT32
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
I've already done that a while back. it actually made the card read only when i put it on my phone.
I think you've got a defected micro sd mate
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
you mean defective. And yes, I believe so. I've contacted the seller and he's agreed to do an exchange for me. Hopefully I'll receive a new one that works by next week....

All SD cards, thumb drives, etc. are already formatted, usually FAT32, so you are wasting your time doing exactly what is already done. If you were to format to something besides FAT32, that would make sense.
haha sorry I sent this almost as soon as I woke up, hope you can forgive me ;D

Well, again, it's just a habit, but nothing wrong with it I believe. I waste maybe a few minutes doing a quick format.
But yeah, I'm sending the card back to the seller for an exchange so hopefully it's just bad luck. If not I'll have to spend more money on a better card eventhough this one is a Kingston class 4 which was unsettling....

That sounds about right. I wish I can get a class 6 but then again i dont trust the stuff on ebay and the stuff on other sites really show offbrand stuff that I've rarely heard of..

I was downloading a file on my phone and the phone turned off. So I thought okay swap battery and turn on and everything was fine and the file downloaded correctly.
Well I was sitting there and all of sudden phone said Sd Card not inserted? Well it was Inserted so I did the put in put out. And still no go it came up with a blank sd card and says filesystem is not supported? So then it says format it which I tried but it won't work nor will it mount at all. I have a video of it ill upload in a few mins when its done.
If this is the dead Sd card syndrome well is there any way to get data back?

Ok so i bought a new 32GB card to use with my new GS4. First it started giving problems where it would sometmes tell me that the card wasn't mounted. then after a while it stopped working altogether. the card is totally unreadable now and i haven't been able to recover the data with any app so far. it kills me to think that i'm going to have to just take a loss on all the pics i had and just format the card. Anybody else having this problem?

I had a problem with a card where it wouldnt stay mounted and after formatting it it still wouldn't. I was able to back everything up when I put the card into my computer. SanDisk gave me a new card and its all good now. Try putting it on a computer and see if you can back it up

hmm.. cuz my sandisk 32 stopped working in my note 2, and wont work on my s4 but works fine in my bothers phone. put a 16gb in my s4 and it works fine.
No, my card is definitely fried. I can't even format it. Format hangs and crashes my pc
So long story short: my 32gb sandisk micro sd ended up getting split in two partitions so I have two seperate 14gb partitions, one is fat32 and the other is ntfs I believe..
I have used every tool / program / fix that I can find and am now at the point of giving up on this SD card..
Can anyone suggest ANYTHING at all, so far nothing has worked for me..
Oh and its dead in the sense that neither my GT 10.1 nor my s3 will read the sd card.
If you have access to a PC, I recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard. If you're trying to get information off the card, I recommend MiniTool Power Data Recovery.
Also, you may be able to get the card replaced for free under warranty. Many SD cards have, like, 5 year or lifetime warranty.
I tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard, but it wouldn't allow me to recover both partitions im assuming because one is fat32 and the other is ntfs. Ill try the other tool tomorrow. Thanks for the reply and suggestion!
Hey try this fix, it's worked for me in the past for a corrupted SD card but I never partitioned mine. Good luck!

I bought my Sandisk 32gb card less than a year ago and it pooped out. Ended up throwing it out because I couldn't reformat it. Thought the cause might be my phone heating up.

I have a SG Note2 ..I bought a 64 gig card ( Sandisk) when I got the phone, installed and formatted it. Up until last week I didn't really notice the storage on it. I was downloading some old albums via uTorrent and all of a sudden I was told I had insufficient storage space. I downloaded anyway, checked, made sure all was on the SD Card, and then did a restart..after the restart all my newly downloaded music was gone, and I saw that I had 59 gigs TOTAL SPACE..but only 36 gigs AVAILABLE SPACE..
My phone is Rooted, and somewhere I remember being told that none of the ROMs recognize 64 gig cards. I did not root my phone, a friend did it for me and I spoke to him today ..he told me that I should try and reformat the card with the phone again..I did and once again it said I had 36g of storage available..but showed 59g Total Space.
Can someone tell me if this is a problem with the ROM or is it a problem with the phone..I have read in other Forums that Samsung doesn't support 64g SD Cards..is there any way to get the phone to recognize the card? Or is it an error with the card? I am not sure that it read 64g when I installed it, I just assumed it did.
I am in the process of trying to learn how to re root my phone, I was content to just let it be.if it is a fact that I will never have access to 64g on this phone as a Rooted Phone, then perhaps I should go back to Stock?
I could really use some help..I am truly lost in technical jargon..and do not fully understand rooting..If you all could help me out here I would appreciate it...I would like to learn, but like any Newbie I am scared I'll mess my phone up..I am good with Computer stuff, just scared of Killing my phone,,LOL!
59.45GB is what mine shows and I believe that is correct. The note 2 definitely does support 64GB cards.

Okay, then why do I show 36.9g available?? And it won't reformat at all..I tried several times..My Laptop says I don't have permissions to format it on there and I cannot remember how to change that..Can't even do a chkdsk on it with the permissions screwed up....

Contact Sandisk, they will replace it. This is what I did when my card took a crap, I had a new one within a week.
