I have a 32gb Sandisk sd Card class 10 installed on my Phone. I use it for keep my musics & videos.
Recently, I try to move my apps to the sd Card, but suddenly the Day After I move the apps, the sd Card is force removed by itself.
Therefore, my apps, musics & video, & other files cannot be opened. But After restart the Phone, the files Can be opened again.
How it could be?

Mine does this a lot too... Same SD card. This SD card works fine in any PC. When transferring over USB, does yours go VERY slow, like 700kbit as opposed to 10mbit?
I have the same sd card, same problem.

Perhaps we have a pattern here...
I have switched to an 8gb samsung class 6 card and over the last 3 days have only had one out of the ordinary "scanning sd card" after waking phone. I don't know if this is related to a solution or not. But all 3 of my previous cards that I was rotating in and out of my phone were class 2 Sandisk. Each of these had intermittent "sd card has been removed" and "sd card is damaged" errors. Whether or not the problems are directly related to lower class Sandisk cards, I have no idea. Maybe someone else can comment on either the brand or the class of the card giving them trouble to compare and/or contrast.
Now I upgrade my android to GA10 JB, and the sd card is readable again. The problem also didn't occur again..
Maybe it's an system error..

Yeah CM10.1 has been good for this issue lately, though file copy is slow as hell over USB still.
Any fix for this issue?

I got a Patriot class 4 microSD card from Newegg for the t989. I've been annoyed by the fact that if I use the stock Camera app and choose to save to SD card directly, random pictures either do not get saved, or existing pictures gets corrupted (i.e., gallery items show a broken picture icon and the files become unreadable even using an external card reader).
SD Tool shows the read/write speed is as claimed (Class 4). Also using h2testw and an external card reader does not show anything abnormal.
What could I be doing wrong? Should I have gotten a class 10 if I want to save pictures onto the SD card?

Take all the crap off your sd card and format from the phone, and try again
Also this belongs 9n Q&A section
Thanks... I did that but still happens. I was wondering whether the speed is not good enough because it usually happens when I try to take several pictures within a few minutes...

It's not a problem with the speed.probably just a bad card, btw our phone doesn't fully it'll utilizes the class speed,i think it is only around class 6-8?

Hi guys
My Note 2 seems to be using too much CPU process. I have Watchdog task manager installed and almost every few minutes, i see Android.Process.Media getting a warning. At the same time, i can feel my phone is hot.
I've did some research on the web and it seems to suggest that there's a corrupted sdcard or corrupted media file (mp3, jpg, mv) in my sdcard. Thus the media storage keep trying to check the files.
My situation is, in my SD card i only have 1 folder that has a lot of pictures (download through mangawatcher). No mp3, no movies. The root folder has a .nomedia file, but it seems that the media storage still craws through the entire folder.
My phone is not rooted (need it to stay unrooted due to some reason). Is there any way to fix this?
1 other possible way i found was completely disable Android.Process.Media, but if i do this, my ringtones and notification tones are all gone (goes into unknown state).
You could try backing up your SD Card to computer, formatting it (FAT32 if external) then restoring folder by folder to isolate which one might be causing the problem?

Yeah, that's what i'm trying now. Will update here on the result.
Latest update: It would seem that my problem could be related to a bad microSD card. a friend of mine who suffered from the same problem said her problem was solved once she changed SD cards..
SanDisk -> Kingston.
Another update: i'm getting this error now..sdcard unexpectedly removed
I read some other forums, it seems to suggest the error could be because of corrupted SD card (SanDisk)
http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-note-2/231647-sd-card-unexpectedly-removed-2.html
Might be worth doing a full read write test on the card on a computer just to be sure.

Update: In the end i rooted my phone and tried this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5hZGR6Lm1lZGlhc2Nhbm5lcnJvb3QiXQ..
Works wonders... too bad had to use root. I'm using a 8gb MicroSD now, will try with my SanDisk 32gb again and see what happens.
Yeah that's one way around it, it's a bit annoying as a band aid fix though as each time you add any media like photos it will require triggering a scan. I also had issues with installing Apps remotely from the browser using that method.

Many thx Good to know that.
I just put back my original SanDisk 32GB. Though i don't have the media scanner problem, but i do see from time to time it says "Preparing SDcard" i suspect my SD card is dying just like the rest..
Had the same issue with my S3.
Turned out that the SD card was dying, which caused to be unmounted by itself and then mounted again (sometimes showing notification “sd card removed unexpectedly”), hence triggering the media scanning process.
I creates an application to monitor how many times the SD card was removed, and turned out to be unmounted every ~3 mins!!!
I then bought a new Transcend 32GB Class 10 card, and until now, this never happens, no reports from the application whatsoever, and no media process eating my battery.
Please PM me if anyone needs this app.

What type of partition do you have your SD Card set up as? NTFS or FAT32?
What ROM are you on? are you on agat's new JB custom kernels?

I had the EXACT same issue. Is it the one that is a UHS-1 class card with the grey and red coloring on one side? I thought it was my phone till i tried a different class 10 it (samsung and kingston) with no problems. Thats a sign of the card failing in the phone and you need to backup NOW! I ended up having to RMA the card to sandisk.
Came across this once on my wife's phone, I opened the back and took card out and did an old school Nintendo cartridge blow out and never had any issues after that.

So just recently, when I go to Spotify, sometims it says:
No SD Card Found
We found no place to store our data, please check that you have a working SD card and free space.
So first of all I do have an SD Card... 64gb. Second of all, a reboot always fixes this. Third of all, I thought Spotify doesn't save music to the SD card anyway without installing an old version before they got rid of the ability to store music on the sd card (something that's annoyed me about the app for a while but it is what it is and I'd rather keep my apps up to date than toy around with old versions of apps).
So, any thoughts?
I really would hate to think that the SD card is the problem for 2 reasons... 1) a 64gb sd card isn't exactly cheap. and 2) I've had roughly the same problem or a similar problem with EVERY SINGLE SD CARD IVE EVER HAD IN AN ANDROID PHONE. I don't drop my phone. i don't do weird stuff with it. I just put the card in the day i get the phone and leave it there and every single time for the last 4 years of being an Android user, I've had various sd card issues after some amount of time... Never this particular issue... But some kind of problem associated with the sd card. Used to be that installing apps to sd caused problems (i don't do that anymore). then it was data on the sd card not being accessible. Then it was some other stuff. Now it's this.
So anyway... any thoughts?
thanks!
Are you running a custom Rom? With the 64GB cards, the S3 can be a bit finicky. It's usually a formatting issue, especially if it's on a non touchwiz Rom. But most likely it's formatted as exFat. Try reformatting to fat32 and see if that helps.

no, i'm not rooted... but thank you i'll look into that to see if it's formatted exFat.
Well.....If your running stock, it should read the exFat format just fine. Still can have odd behaviour though so I'd still try fat32. Just saying that exFat should work for you. Could be an app issue with it I guess. Let us know either way if that helps though.

To make a long story short, I took some irreplaceable pictures today that disappeared.
I have my camera saving to my 64gb memory card. I took a few pictures and a couple of panoramas and they ended up showing up glitchy and useless.
They didn't appear in the gallery with the exception of a few images.
It looked odd.
I rebooted the phone and tried to go into the gallery and they just weren't there. The previews showed up momentarily and then they vanished.
Now when I try to take a photo to go to my external memory, it works fine. It didn't pre-reboot.
Is there a method of:
A: Recovering my lost 10-15 images.
B: Ensuring that this doesn't happen in the future.
For the record, my card seems to be working fine. Music on it loads up quickly as well as any other images that I loaded onto it. Files open and there is zero lag. I don't suspect that the card is corrupted or anything.
Thanks guys.

You could try something like Recuva: https://www.piriform.com/recuva
I successfully used that to restore files deleted from microSD cards a few years back.

I'm unfortunately on a Mac. Guess I'll boot into boot camp and install it and give it a go.
I hope the pictures actually existed as files though and not some cached object.
Update:
Overnight, the saving issue arose again. I'm forced to use internal storage when using my camera.
I've seen this problem before. So SD cards don't work well with Samsung devices. I bought a Samsung SD card and never seem this problem again. I recommend you do the same.

I wish I wasn't broke :/
I'm using a SanDisk 64gb. Guess I've gotta dig up some cash and get a Samsung.
I don't see how this is an issue though.
What is your card formatted in? My current is in exfat. I'm thinking the format may be an issue.
It may be a kitkat issue. Google "kitkat SD card write". Root users are using a fix that sets permissions so the sd card can be written to by all apps as expected.

Right before I came across your post, I found some info on the kitkat issue with sd cards. I'm guessing that's what's causing this problem. Odd because it's the default Samsung camera that's messing up.
Oh, how I miss root. I just hope we get root soon. I'm pretty close to selling this phone and hopping on Tmobile.
I had this problem happen with very VERY irreplaceable pictures, on my backpacking trip to china, one of the most irreplaceable pictures of my entire life was taken, appeared glitchy in gallery, phone reset and it was gone.
after taking out the SD card, and doing many deep scans to try and recover the deleted pictures, it seems the pictures arent there, which leads me to believe it somehow tried to save it in internal memory (which cant be mounted as a drive, so cannot be recovered).
if you can somehow flash an older version of android (like 2.xx) you can mount your phone as a drive, and then attempt to recover deleted data from your internal SD..
yeah all i can say is ,,|,, you samsung.
I too have the same problems as the OP. And I am on SAMSUNG micro SD card! Guess it is one of those first batch gremlins?
However, I think the problem has gone away after I switch on the image "preview" option. Give it a try.
I had the same issue with a 64gGB SanDisk micro SD card. The camera would seem as if it was taking pictures but nothing was actually saved; they just shows as corrupted files in the gallery. I lost countless irreplaceable images from our honeymoon because of this. Once I switched to a 32GB Samsung micro SD card I never had the issue again, also saving the pictures directly to the internal memory solved the problem. I use the SD card for music as well so it has to be something with the phone writing to the SD card. From what I've read it's a issue with the compatability with samsung and non samsung sd cards for some reason.

Never had this issue with any of my Samsung phones (S2, S4, and now the Note 4). I'm using a SanDisk Class 10 32GB. I'd recommend pulling the files off the SD and doing a format. Download the App SD Maid as well for routine maintenance on your SD. Good luck.
My 64GB SanDisk SD card was giving unexpected unmounted errors, so I picked up a Samsung 64GB SD card. The unexpected unmount errors went away, but now I have this problem. Pictures are not saving to the SD card correctly. Sometimes it says media not found. Others the preview/thumbnail looks fine but the full view is just grey.
I am going to try saving to internal memory and manually moving to the SD card as I run out of room.
