There's a good chance your sd card may be dead or at least on it's way out. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I was getting the same message over and over and didnt even think about it because the card was only 2 months old. I would suggest connecting it to your computer with whatever adapter you may have (not your phone, either a usb-microSD or even sd-microSD adapter) and try to copy everything off of it.
I know this was not a phone issue with me because I have spare microSDs that all work fine still.
Good luck and hopefully you're able to transfer your info off the card if that is in fact your problem.

calibrated? lol... never heard of that. sound's like he formatted it. which yeah, indicates that its probably on its way out if its getting corrupted. do you still have your original data on it?

Card is bad or going bad. I've had 1 card do this on the s3 and 2 cards on my og epic 4g.
Lesson learned: back up all important pictures and what not at least once a week.

Never heard of that as a tech. As far as I know of there is no way to "calibrate" an SD card or slot. I have however had a slot go bad in an s3 or your SD card may be on the outs.

Yes. I have a GSM version of the GNEX here in Canada and am running s custom 4.0.3 ROM and my signal does this ALL THE DAMN TIME!!!
I have flashed several radios and none fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is either going back to the STOCK 4.0.1 ROM that came with my device or to flash the Android Revolution HD ROM which is based on 4.0.2. On that ROM I dont lose signal.
I am getting quite frustrated about this issue too. I have posted many time in various threads looking for answers and NO ONE seems to have any idea about this which I find weird as I have seen countless others with the same issues as I describe.
I had similar issues with my N1, and it turned out to be related to the older SIM card I had. You may want to consider a new SIM...

Thanks for the reply. I have a new thread open to try and generalize these issues more clearly. Please see here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487239
Also... I have 2 different SIM cards from my provider and one is a bit old (but works just fine in my SGSII) and one is new with a different number and this happens with BOTH SIM cards.
Again, please see the thread I have linked here for more info.

My Galaxt S3 isn't charging. Help please!

So about two weeks ago, I switched to iPhone because I'm giving my S3 to my dad. I haven't used it since then so I fully expected the battery to die. However, when I went to charge it today the LED at the top left isn't lighting on and I get this

Whenever I try to plug in the battery while it's connected with the USB, the red LED pops up for 3 seconds and then it goes away.
Any ideas guys? Please help me.
You could have either bumped this other thread, or at least read it over, if you had searched first

I did see it. But we don't have the same problem.
My phone won't even get to the boot sequence and I know it's not a brick of any kind because the phone was working fine before I switched the iP5. I left the phone in the glove compartment of my car for a week or so, is it possible that could have messed with it? The phone was inside of the box and everything so I can't imagine it got too hot.
Well did you try the suggestions there? Keeping the battery out for a while and then putting it in and trying to boot?

Yeah I did but still no dice.
couple of things
Try a different battery
Try a different charger
Sometimes extreme heat and cold (from a glove compartment) can ruin a battery or the phone itself. Extreme temps are hell on phones. It's probably a good idea to remove the batterty and keep it inside if phone is being stored. Also, some chargers to go bad...had it happen. Anyway, you might have tried these things already. Good luck!:good:

Congratulate me. I Finally Went All the Way

... in openIng my Nexus 7 (2013) with nothing but my left thumbnail.
I had mentioned in another post that I had basically got it opened previously just while mindlessly fiddling with it.
This time, I purposely fully removed the back.
My point is:
If it is this easy to remove the back, using no tools, can Google/Asus possibly void warranties for removing the back?
I have several smartphones that essentially open the same way. The only difference with my Huawei u9508 is that there is a small, partial cut-out in one corner where you put your fingernail to get started.
Voiding the warranty by opening the Huawei is obviously nonsensical since you have to remove the back to install the SIM card.
I can demonstrate this, and show that other devices open the same way. There are no warnings on the device that removing the back will void the warranty.
Just say you were looking for the SIM slot or SD card slot.
Also, given how easy it is, and the fact that mine is back together with no marks/cracks/gaps at all, I would recommend that anyone having wireless charging problems, go ahead and clean the contacts. I cleaned mine while I was in there.
Congratulations.

We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more?
Prolly voids your warranty. Just cuz you can use an appendage does not mean it doesn't void your warranty. No different than taking a screwdriver or some other tool to it.

Sorry can't tell you for the SD card you mentioned. But I'm using the Hama SDXC 64GB Class 10 which is realy good when considering the access times.
All is running flawlessly with this card.
and you considered this question "Urgent"???

Urgent is when your house is on fire and you need to get the kids out ! This just a small NON urgent little thingy.....
Urgent is when you have to pee and the next exit is 20 miles away! :laugh:
As we are all attached to our devices these days when you run out of storage space that could be considered urgent.
Anyway, we can leave that philosophical question for later.
This is the micro SD I bought for my M8. I put all my pictures, videos and music on it and I've not noticed any problems with read/write or playback issues.

That's a fine card. Depends what you mean by "lag", it's not infinitely fast, but it's a good one.

Format SD as Internal - SM-T320 8.4 wifi?

Can anyone confirm this has been fixed in nightly? Can't find a definite answer. Thanks
Flashed it yesterday and setup my 16 gig card as internal storage. Works but I'm now having issues with TWRP it can't handle the way the file system is setup. I also can't get selinux disabled. I spent yesterday searching for answers and came up with nothing. My guess is it's because nightly. I'm also thinking that flashing TWRP with Flashify wasn't the best idea.
I fixed my tab and reached my goal of using adopted storage and everything seems to be working very well.
After much trial and error I can only assume at this point that my issues were my fault. I used TWRP 3.0.0-2 and flashed it with Flashify. At first I thought Flashify might not be doing the job but it worked just fine. Cm13.0-20160305-Nightly is the one I flashed. I can't be sure where exactly where I went wrong it was late the night I originally flashed this rom. I also though maybe CM13 was too bleeding edge to work as great as its working now.
One thing I feel I should mention. When you set up adopted storage it may tell your your card is too slow. This may not be the case. I went through this process close to 10 times flashing, setting everything up and then starting over. Each time the results were different on the SD card. I even switched up cards and still got inconsistent results of the performance of the SD Card. Right now I'm using a 32 gig Evo+ by Samsung. They have them at Best Buy in the Samsung section. I got mine on sale for $13. Nice. Android told me this card was slow as well. However I'm not seeing it. Quick response and this tab is handling all the games I throw at it. Its main purpose the last couple of days has been using it to remote play some GTA with a pairs DS4. Amazing! I've also been using an app called Remotr to stream my PC games to my tablet and using my DS4 controller for that as well.
Unreal how awesome this thing is performing. Thanks to who made this possible. Any questions let me know. I'll do my best to help.
