Hi all
While I was using my camera the camera app said "cannot write to SD card" or something like that. So I went and bought a new micro SD card and every time I insert it and it says "SD safe to remove" and every time I mount it. It says the SD safe to remove. I tried formating on PC and nothing. Do I have to take it to tmo?
Thanks
I fixed the problem. I flashed the persius kernel and it can read the SD card. But the weird thing is that it never happened before and it just happened out of nowhere.

I dont know why but suddenly, my phone wasn't able to read the SD Card inside the phone. it just says, "Black Sd card" then he wants me to reformat it, then i reformatted it... still, nothing happens. it just says "No SD card insterted" even though it is inserted. i have tried my other spare SD card, and then it works but after a while, it wont detect the SD Card. what has happened to my phone?
okkkkk..

Try unmounting sdcard in Settings>SD Card and phone storage then again mount. If it's already unmounted then just simply mount it! If does'nt worked; take out your sdcard and rub slowly with a wet cloth and re-instert and reboot your phone.
If it does'nt works; try:
1. Insert sdcard in another phone and see if it is detectable or not.
2. Format it again.
3. Maybe your SD Card has been damaged by anyways, if no options help u.. try this: http://www.techcredo.com/android/ho...d-on-an-android-phone-without-losing-any-data

GREEEEEEETZ!!!
Rooted, Stock, SanDisk 32GB Class 4...
This morning I got a notification that it was safe to remove my SD Card. I thought that was random and funny so I went into Solid Explorer to see and it said that my SD Card was empty. I checked in the Storage option in the Settings menu, and it didn't pick up the card. It only said "Mount SD Card, Insert SD Card." I removed and inserted the card a few times with no luck. After restarting, the phone told me the SD Card was Blank. I clicked on that notification and it prompted me to format the card. I tried to format it but it didn't work. I just kept telling me the card was blank and I'd need to reformat it. Finally, after plugging the phone into my computer, it's not even recognized as a card on the phone. Can someone help me please? Is this a hardware issue? Did the card reader on my S3 just crap out or is it something I can fix with some software fix?
Thanks in advance.

I could be the card that has failed. Do you have a card reader that you can use to mount the card on a PC (without the phone)? Do you have another card to try in the phone. It is one or the other that has failed but you will have to try out the combinations to see which has failed. I have seen cheap cards fail and become unrecognizable. I think that is more likely than the phone card slot failing.

Thanks for the reply. I'm starting to suspect/hope it's something wrong with the card itself as opposed to the slot. Unfortunately I don't have my old card or another reader around to test (I'm stuck at work). I may try to skip out to buy a new card and see if that does the trick.
I am getting an error when my phone tries to scan my external sd card. It says "preparing SD Card" for a second or two, but then it says "Blank SD Card". I looked this problem up on other threads, however, I dont think it would be necessary for me to format it. This is because one out of every 20 or so times it scans the SD card it actually picks it up and gives me the details about the card (space, etc.). But it then says "removed SD card". I am confused if this is a problem with the SD card itself, or if it is a problem with my phone's SD card slot. Any help would be appreciated because almost all of my info is on the card (contacts, documents, school stuff) Thanks in advance!!

Do you have another reader for the card? If so, pull the data, format through Windows and then put the data back on. (When I had issues it was something about permissions last time...)

I tried to do that and it wont work because on my comp it says that it did not recognize my phone. I reinstalled the drivers and it still wouldnt work. It somehow read the sd card right now (the phone did), so im trying to do some data backup and such if the problem persists, which im sure it will
He meant an external card reader. You would take the card out of the phone. Do that copy it all over to desktop. Format the card. Put the stuff back

If you're having MicroSD card issues and USB port issues I wonder if you've got other things going on.
How long has the phone not been recognized on the PC?
And did you try cleaning the MicroUSB port? It may still charge but not contact the data connectors.
I have a Desire HD which is running Randomblame's JellyTime 4.2 R6.1 and I have been getting the "damaged SD card" message. The original card eventually failed to format either on phone or via computer and I was unable to access anything on the card.
I bought a new card ( A SanDisk Ultra 16Gb Class 10) and all was fine for a few days and then I started to get the same message again. I took the card out and was able to access the contents via the computer,I re formatted it then re-loaded the files onto the card and put it back into the phone. This morning when I woke up I couldn't access the SD card and again I have the same "damaged SD card" message. I have taken the card out of the phone. I can see the files via computer but I am a bit loathed to re-insert the card into the phone in case it damages it.
I always switch off the phone, eject on the computer etc when installing/uninstalling the SD card.
Has anyone else had this problem, if so can someone help sort it out.
Sorry if this problem has come up before. I did try the search but found nothing akin to my problem and I can't use Randomeblame's JellyTime thread as I haven't enough posts.
Any help/pointers would be much appreciated
Many thanks

Hey guys, i have an issue I need some help with. My wife's Sgs2 has a custom 4.3 now but since last month when it had ICS on it, it has been giving me a lot of issues with the micro sd card. i had a samsung 16 gb on it and all of a sudden it started saying damaged sd card, made me format it but still wouldn't work. i did usb mount to my pc via recovery as my pc wouldn't even id the card when inserted. i formatted to fat32 and tried to mount the card both on recovery and after rebooting the phone but had no luck. then i bought a generic 32 gig micro sd and put it on the phone after I flashed a 4.3 rom on it. at first everything was fine and a huge music folder and CWM backups were all on the external card but all of a sudden, the phone started giving me the same message. I formatted that card hoping the default file type for S2 would work but now it keeps saying either "damaged sd card" or "blank sd card with improper partition" or something like that. I'm at a loss as to what I did wrong and what I should do. Before formatting both the cards I tried using EaseUS recovery but that thing hung up my pc let alone fix the card. If anyone has any clue, suggestion, opinion or information on this, please do let me know. I've searched both on google and here on xda but couldn't find an exact solution or one that worked. Thanks again guys.
