Sd card stopped working? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was on Facebook and noticed an exclamation mark icon in my notification bar. I pulled down the notification bar and it said that the SD card had been removed, I went to play some music and it said that the file cannot be found or something, so I opened up root explorer and went into the extsdcard and it was empty. I took the back off the phone and took out the card and put it back in; nothing. I took the battery out and again tried taking out the SD card and put it back in, turned the phone on and again, nothing. I took the card out, wiped it on my shirt and tried again. Nothing.
I went into storage settings and tried to remount, but it is greyed out and says insert sd card.
Does this mean it's ****ed or what? If it is then I really hope that I haven't lost the receipt. I'd guess that this card is about 1 month old btw.
Thanks in advance

Try USB reader and connect to pc/laptop. If it's dead it won't work but sometimes sd cards going mad and after formatting works again.

Having issues with my phone.

I have a sprint epic 4g touch.
Im having some issues with my phone. Everuthing will be going just fine, my battery will be fully charged, then suddenly my phone restarts. It comes back on, & its suddenly hot & my battery will be dead. It will keep restarting unless I take my SD card out.
Ill take the card out & then sometimes ill turn it back on & my battery will be sorta charged again.
& then its usually okay.
But then as soon as I put my SD card back in, ill turn it on, & tnen it keeps restarting.
Sometimes it will finally stop & everything will be okay. But it just does this at random times.
Anyone have an idea of what might be the issue??

Sounds like a bad SD card or battery....or both. I'd replace each one.

Before replacing the SD card try a simple format first, because if you're like me, you don't have money for a new SD card lol
Also bout the battery, every time I've gone to sprint with battery issues they give me a new one, now I know they won't always just give you one, but if you're nicey nice to them and get buddy buddy they may

I have had a bad/cheap SD go out on me, and almost the same issues as OP. My advice backup your SD cause that fukr's gonna die for real soon. Then bam without the SD in phone runs great..What size is your card? If it's not too big I have craploads of SD's from old phones. Mostly 8 AND some 16gb in size. I know for sure I have plenty of 8gb cards if ya need one shoot me a PM..I'll hook ya up..
I'm having the same issue, I tried formatting my SD card and even after formatting it I still get this issue every once in a while:/

What I sometimes do is just plug in to a charger and then it stops. Wait do you have the same issue where your screen flickers and stuff?

I font wanna lose the apps I have on my card. I have a journal app, with over 2 years of journal entries & I cant lose all that stuff. So what do I do? Is formatting the card my only choice??

Wow. You need to backup that sukr fast. I have lost more crap from even good namebrand SD cards dying on me. I have since gone to the cloud more or less. Never rely on your phone or your SD to keep that much valuable stuff on. At least start a backup schedule on your pc or laptop. So if it does die you won't loose as much..:good:

Oh yeah NO DO NOT FORMAT UNTIL YOU BACKUP. In my exp format does not help for a issue such as y'alls. I had a Sammy card freak out on my old vibrant that literally softbricked that sukr. I was stubborn and blamed the phone but after testing diff setups/voltage/underclock. I took the card out as to not erase it by accident and forgot to put it back in. The phone ran great. Then I inserted the Sd and it made thephone reboot twice then it just locked up hard. Pulled the SD an flshed back to stock and all was good. Insert the SD. BAM same crap. So always make backups. Nandroid and internal and ext SD. It's a pain but a good habit..
Ok, so if I back up my SD card onto my PC, then format my card, how do I get the apps & the data that go with the apps, back onto my phone??

plug the phone back into comp. Open the SDext. highlight all the files copy and paste. Pretty much the same process to copy to comp,but now you are copying back onto your ext SD.
I got my phone to finally stop restarting, when I have the SD card in. I dont know why its working now, but oh well. Can someone tell me What's the difference between the system storage, USB storage & SD card??

sd card tray, forgot spring. pulled out

So, I changed my sd card and forgot about the pushing in first so I pulled it out without pushing in, I didn't break it, cus didn't force it all the way out but. Could that break it or is there a safety Mechanism for just pulling it out without Clicking it out? ???? Any help would be appreciated

[Q] Dropped my phone, apps forgotten

Dropped my phone while walking about today, battery fell out. Phone's fine, turned back on, no problem, but apps and Google Play are gone. The phone still recognizes the SD card though. Using smelkus, can I just band restore the SD ext and get everything back? Or is there a more practical solution? Thanks in advance.

SD Card Issue

I'm on Infamous GE rom and I just started experiencing this problem. Some apps, like pocket Casts, only recognize the SD card for about a minute. I have to unmount and then re mount the SD Card for the app to recognize it, and even then it only recognizes it for about a minute. Is this a known problem?

This happens to me too but I'm on an I9505 rom, battery kings.

Did I ruin my SD card?

I was running liquid smooth 4.2.2 and flashed a tw rom. When it booted into tw it said your SD card may be broken would you like to reformat? I hit yes and it didn't seem to do anything. I went back to liquid smooth and it did it again now I no longer get the message but it says my SD card has only 6mb on it. How could I test and see if my SD card is working as it should?

Also when I turn off the phone and charge it, it displays a purple looking battery with a question mark over it.

Try plugging it into a computer and see what it says. Actually take it out and put it in a reader. It could have a messed up partition or something
