Guys, this isn't a Galaxy W question, but one about my SD Card. I have and old 8GB that i use, but my phone goes to the Samsung to some battery fixes (isn't recharging anymore)... and then the phone comes back, it doesn't recognize it anymore the SD! I have one with 2GB that i'm using, so the problem is on the card.
My idea was i probably need to format him on another system file, like FAT32... but i connect to the PC, and that GT1850 thing appears, and even with the card on the phone connected (not connected, but put on the sd card phone space) the removable card isn't there.
Is this card broken? Can i format him in another way?
Thank you so much :good:

Hi all,
I just got a new Sandisk 1GB Mini SD for my Wizard. I put it in my phone and it was recognized immediately. I copied a few files across (my TomTom install and a few maps) and then finished the install. I had to soft-reboot to get TomTom to work - but after rebooting my card doesn't work. When the phone starts up it asks if I want to format the card. I tap yes and it goes away - but doesn't really do anything.
I have taken the Mini SD out of my phone and put it into the card reader that's in my laptop. Windows recognizes that it is a SD card and also prompts to format it - but when I try to format it as FAT or FAT32 it says it can't complete. I have tried doing it through DOS too, but it comes back as saying that there is a bad Track 0 and the card is unusable.
I'm struggling to believe that the card is now poked after just copying some files onto it. I'm hoping that it's just something to do with the file system that has dies somehow. Does anyone know how to reformat the card (either through my phone or Win XP) or how can I resurrect this sucker?
Thanks in advance!
try pocket mechanics
thanks rudegear. I tried pocket mechanics, but it doesn't even recognise the card. I believe that pocket mech will only work if my phone can see the card first. this isn't even happening. the phone obviously knows that there is a card in it, as it says that the expansion slot is in use, but it can't read the card at all. any other ideas?
sounds like you have a fake card. 128mb cards formated to show 1gb, you copy more than 128 they corrupt. this happened to me
okay. I've given up on this card and have sent it back. no more trying to ressurect the dead for me!
has the new card solved the prob? The problem Iam having is almost identical to yours. I purchased a 2gig mini sd card (bn) for my atom. When inserted into my laptop's integrated sd reader, it would recognise a card has been inserted but would not open the card (but the Atom recognised the card).
Thinking I have bought a faulty card, I sent it back to manufacturer. The seller tested and concluded there is nothing wrong with the card but sent me a new one.
I had the same trouble with the new card. Convinced the card was not faulty, I purchased a new card reader.
The firt day i connected the card into the reader. things were SMOOTHE! I was lovn life. The card was read instantaniously and i proceeded to fill the card with a hole heap of goodies (including tomtom).
I used up approx 100mb of stuff that day and ejected the card from reader and inserted in my atom. Data was read with no trouble on pda and pc.
I inserted the sd card back into card reader the following day and now it seems the data originally put on from the first 'contact' is now locked. I cannot delete nor add anything else to the card. Oh and before anyone asks: yes, the lock was and is in the UNLOCK position (i dont even use the lock).
So my next move now is to exchange my card reader with a simpler/single slot. I read somewhere that cardreaders/devices sometimes lock data (dont know how true it is but got no choice).
in summery:
buying an external card reader solved the initial issue of recognizing/reading sd card but created another problem of LOCKING the sd card.
Is anyone else having issues with large sd cards?
I solve the problem by inserting card to Digital Camera that use SD card.
it formatted without error.
Card Reader and other phones does not format it. I think because of file system.
hmm... I will try that. will keep you all posted.
I am using T-mobile Touch Pro 2.
I am quite satisfied with this device except for one problem.
Sometimes (once a day or every other day?) when I turn the device on, the micro sd card is not detectable. The card is in the slot, but the device just cannot find it. (It shows like there is no sd card!)
When I reboot the device or take the micro sd card off and insert again, the device recognize it which makes me very annoyed.
Anyone who has the same problem and the solution?
Many thanks in advance.
FYI, I am using Transcend 8GB micro sd card (class 6.)
The only time I have something like this issue is when I connect the phone to the PC as an external drive, which is by design. Unplugging the phone sets it right again.
Change your MicroSD to SanDisk and you wont have any problems. I have a class 2 16GB and I dont have any problems. If you're worry about the performance, it's pretty fast. using the phone as removable drive it writes at just under 4mb/s, using a usb adapter and the write speed sustains at 8-10mb/s which out performs minimum class 6 standard. All the test was done on a 16gb class 2 with 10gb of badly fragmented files already on the card and writing another 5.5GB into the card. I havent tested read speed but it's faster than write speed.

I had the same problem when i first got my sprint pro 2. All you have to do to fix is... using any card reader, copy all the files on your micro sd card to a new folder on your computer. then format the card to fat32. once formatted copy all of your files back onto the card. pop it back in and you should be good to go.. after doing this to mine, my 16g card hasn't disappeared once.

Thanks a lot!
I will do what you said right away. Hope it will solve the problem
I managed to get CyanogenMod 7 RC2 up and running. I noticed that I had a lot of junk on my SD card so I thought that I could back it up and then wipe it because most/all of the useful stuff was on the internal memory of the DHD. But, for some reason, my phone is telling me that my SD card is damaged.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with the SD card because I just did a copy/paste thing to back it up. Also, I've put in another SD card and it also says that it's damaged. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Run fix_permissions and reboot

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think I can do that. I can't put that on my SD card because there if I try to connect it with the computer, I can't mount the SD card or turn on the usb sharing thing. I'll be able to reformat the SD card soon because I'm borrowing a friend's micro sd card to sd card converter.
I tried Fix Permissions by going into recovery and advanced options, but that didn't work =/
Also, I remember now that I uninstalled "Goldcard Helper" because it said it was downloaded to my SD card so I thought that I could uninstall it and be able to clean up my SD card completely. Maybe that had some effect on this?
Got my friend's converter so now I can plug the micro SD directly into my computer. Oddly enough, it said I had to format it before I could use it which is essentially what my phone was telling me to do too.
I'll wipe it then see if it works
Perfect! I think it is working completely now! One last question of what I should do now that it's working. Can I plug it in, restore a few pictures I had, and just let Android take over from there? It's completely blank on the SD card so will Android know what to do with it?
im currently running cm7.
i have an htc EVo.
i was backing up my data on this 4GB to move it on a 8gb micro sd card. i deleted everything on it and ejected it. i put the 8gb in and suddenly it did not work any more. neither did the 4gb mico sd card. my phone says that the micro sd cards are damaged. i have several other cards that wont read. idk why... i tried plugging the micro sd cards up to the computer and the computer wont recognize them. it tells me i have to format but the format always fails. i there a fix for this? im starting to think that cm7 is damaging my sd cards. i have important things on their to me and i would love to recover them.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
*UPDATE*
the 4gb i currently have will work in my old phone. it is a samsung highnote. but when i put it back in my htc evo it still says that it is damaged. i rebooted in clock work mod and it read this time. i was able to mount the 4gb sd card in usb storage from CWM(Clock Work MOd).
Try formating it on your pc

Hey,
Yeah sometimes that happened, now do other micro sd cards work in it?
What I would do is put the card in your computer I prefer linux but you can do what you want, or even your phone if it will mount it in recovery then just do a full sd card wipe and that should get everything working for you! If you still can't get it to work PM me and we will figure it out!
If I helped hit the thanks please and thank you!
The SD Formatter program from the SD association can nearly always format a card when nothing else can. Now, the data on there may not be recoverable though. I learned that the hard way too a while back.

It couldnt reformat my partitioned sd card though! but besides that that program works great!
I have had similar issues. My SD card was working amazingly well until I rebooted my phone to show someone my splash screen I had installed a few days prior. When it booted up it said the SD card was damaged. I'm not sure why....but sure enough it was toast. I couldn't even mount the card in order to see the files on my computer. Thankfully my motherboard was able to see that the card was there, just inaccessible, so I was able to run File Scavenger and get all of my files off. After that I reformatted my SD Card and went about my business.
Hi!
I've recently noticed a strange reproduceable behaviour of my Moto Z Play. I have a SD card formatted as internal encrypted memory (20GB) and portable (40GB). When I Power off via the Power off option, and boot up the device it tells me the portable partition of my SD card is corrupted and asks me to fix. However this can be fixed by simply putting the SD card in a PC/Mac and then putting it back into the phone. This is a reproduceable problem if I follow these steps:
1. Power off
2. Turn phone on again and wait for booting to finish
3. Portable SD card partition is recognized as corrupt
4. Power off
5. Insert SD in Mac, wait to get recognized
6. Eject from Mac
7. Put in Phone
8. Profit
I wonder why this happens and what I can do to prevent this. It is really annoying to not be able to listen to my music after an exam until I reach home...

Maybe card going bad? I'm using a 128gb card with split adopted (30gb) and portable (90gb) partitions. I get the expected adopted storage missing message for a few seconds on boot until it has time to read the card, but no issue with the portable partition.

Could be, it's just 2 months old though. Also it's a little weird that it works perfectly fine until I power off my phone again.
Got this error too but just waited for it to continue booting and the card works.

How long did you wait? I had my phone running for 2hours and it still showed that the SD is corrupt
A minute or so. I have mine combined with internal storage. Ie I have 64gb internal now instead of 32gb. If there is nothing critical on yours, just reformat it in the phone. I always have my phone auto backup everything in case the phone gets lost our broken.

Maybe I will do the reformatting too, but I feel like it should work non the less and it is super annoying....
It is definitely not the problem of the SD card, since it is recognized just fine by my other phone. However putting it in my phone does not "fix" it, I still have to put it in the Mac, let it mount and then eject to fix it.
I have a question: How to have two partitions on your sd card for android?
I have a 64gb card and would like to extend my internal storage, also have an external SD that i can use on my pc if i put it in there.

Have the same problem, SD card error and whatever option you choose - doesn't work. The problem is that I don't have an adapter, so cannot re-format it
Format sd card as portable
I've seen this question coming up again recently after going quiet for some time. Common element is formatting the card as internal adopted memory. For some unknown and yet to be resolved reason mounting the sd card as internal memory has a glitch and stops working. The only known solution is to not use the card as internal memory. Reformat the sd card as 'Portable' memory using the reformat function built into the phone itself. Portable allows you to eject the memory card and use/read it in another device. Internal Adopted memory locks the card to the phone and encrypts it. You cannot read a card used as internal adopted memory in any other device, and if you reformat it, you will wipe it clean and delete everything on in. But if you want the memory card to work, you want to use it as Portable memory.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!
Unfortunately that does not solve the problem. Even when I format my card as "portable" the phone tells me my card is damaged and needs to be formatted (after one power cycle) . The card isn't damaged though and can be read perfectly on my pc. And it's no cheap card either. A Samsung Evol Plus (Class 10, U3). I'm trying another brand to see if this will fix things.
