First, sorry for my bad english. i hope you will understand my problem.
I am using a genunie sandisk 32gb micro sdhc card. used it with my old xperia t too...
Started using it with my Note 2 since 2 months. But i got an error yesterday, that my card is removed because format is not ok. i did nothing with the card or not removed from my phone. My phone was also turned on since 4 days. And today asked me for formatting micro sd card. i had no time to check it on my computer so i choosed format it. Note 2 has formatted it. After that it didnt see my card.
In the storage menu it shows no ext.card. i tried to format my micro sd card on windows and on macbook but they dont see my card.
I lost my photos and some files... i dont care about them now, i just want to format my card but i think its dead now...
Anyone has experience? What shall i do now?
Now i see this again, choosing format but nothing happens...

Do you see it listed in Disk Management in Windows? It could be that it is not being mounted as a drive, but seen as a RAW partition by the system, in which case you can format it from Disk Management and start using it again. Don't look for the card under Volumes, but where disks are listed, in which section you'll see Disk 0, Disk 1 and so on. Good luck
Try to format your card using SD Formatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Thanks for your replies. I will try it when i arrive to home from my work.

I had a 64GB SanDisk card. I bought it in December. Last week, somehow, it became write protected! I could not format it, either in the phone or Windows and could not write any data to it.
I phoned SanDisk and they said they would replace it. I managed to copy the data off it. I told them I couldn't send the card back to them, as I couldn't delete the data. They just asked me to photograph the card before and after I cut it in half. Now they are sending me a new card.
However, as there seem to be many problems with SanDisk cards, I will never use one again. I bought a Samsung 64GB instead.

Don't think its the phone, rather the SD card itself.
after getting a Samsung MicroSD card, there are no further problems.
the Sandisk card even has problem being detected by a windows 7 machine
Sandisk and Lexar are both garbage! They have the worst quality control ever. I don't even understand how they are so popular.
I have mailed to Sandisk support, they wanted photos of card with serial number and where i bought it.
than they want me to break my card and send again photos of broken card. Now, they will send me new card...
Had the problem myself with a 32 gb sandisk class 10. The phone said the card was damaged. I used the card adapter that came with the card and when inserted in my pc card reader, surprise: it worked like nothing happened! Saved data, format it with sdformater and i use it now.
I mention a kingston card adapter didn't do the job. It kept saying the card was not formatted.

Yes SD Formatter is kind a low level formatter. If flash storage is not physically damaged, SD Formatter solves most of the problems
defo not the phone but the card itself. Has happened to me more then once. Some card's are just ****
well from personal experience. I have to say first hand, i honestly think its the phone. the same thing happened to me. i have the att note 2 and a centon 32gb class4 card and out of nowhere, i get a message that my card was removed unexpectedly and now my card doesn't work on ANY DEVICE. I've tried multiple card readers, different software, different computers, even tried a mac, took my memory card to s specialist. NO DEVICE recognizes anything even connected. now i thought, ok maybe a faulty card but my wife with same phone and a sandisk 32gb class 10, SAME THING happened. my friend with a Kingston 32 gb and a sprint note 2, his memory card died as well. THREE different brands, and same type of phone. too much of a coincidence, could be it really cant handle 32gb. now im using i think 8 and its working fine for now.
google this problem and youll see its a bigger problem then you think. BACKUP YOUR DATA, i had to learn hard way. :crying:

Happened the same yesterday. Trascend class 4 32Gb SDHC. Completely dead.
Checked with a macbook, but the card isn't detected anymore.
In my opinion, the NoteII may haves some problem with sd card (maybe the voltage regulators aren't correctly programmed, or something similar).
But frankly, I do not have any proof to support this, just a sensation.

I had the same thing happen to me. Put the card on a windows machine, and run
chkdsk /f
this makes the disk readable again. At least, it did for me. One problem was that even though the disk was readable, it seems some
files had errors, so the media scanner ran forever and used up lots of battery when the fixed card was used. I ended up not using that card any
more.
Same problem with me... 32gb microsd hc class 10 sandisk... In sn2 n7100 it says blank card or unsupported filesystem... In windows 7 laptop... It is not detected.... Chkdsk does not work in cmd prompt as the card is not detected... Unable to do anything with the card as it is not detected... Cannot format, cannot see in disk manager. Card is also not read in other phones.
PLEASE help as it had a lot of information and i have NO money to buy a new card.

Hi all
I have had a SanDisk 4gb microSD HC card for ages and it's worked perfectly. I recently bought a SanDisk 8gb one and have a permanent problem with it. When inserting it, sometimes my TP2 either fails to recognise it or if it does, sometimes it freezes some functions. The main problem is that the clock completely freezes. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen every time.
I put the card into a Card Reader on my laptop and ran a CHKDSK on it and it came up as OK.
Has anyone encountered the same problem or any solutions as to how to fix it. If I go back to the 4gb, it works fine so it's not the slot or device but doesn't look like the card either. I can copy stuff with my laptop over and back to the card no problem.

I have a SanDisk 8GB Class 2 SDHC card, and have no problems with it.
Try doing a full format on the card to see if that helps after copying all your files off it.
In addition to that, reflash your phone with a Stock ROM and then flash it with the current ROM you are using. Do this without having any card in the phone.
Also, If you have a can of compressed air lying around, use the nozzle tip and blow into the microSD card slot of the phone to try and clean it out.
Hopefully this helps.
No problems here. I started with a Sandisk 8GB Class 4 microSDHC and now have a Sandisk 16GB Class 2, and haven't had any problems with either one. I'd try a full re-format of the card and see if that helps.
I started with the Vodafone Stock ROM before changing for Deepshining v12. Could a ROM version cause issues or maybe the Radio ver ?
And how can I tell what Class my SDHC card is ?
C
i use a 8gb sd card.. no problems with it..
My 8GB Class 4 SanDisk MicroSDHC works perfectly. Sounds like you have a faulty or counterfeit card.
I'm using an 8gb class 4 Dane Elec (sp?) micro sd, and it works fine.
To see what class it is, look at the card. Does it have a circle with a number inside of it? It will either be 2, 4, or 6. If there is no circle with a number it's most likely a class 2.
I had the same problem which i actually solved by backing up the card and choosing to format it via my PC, check it out too.
I did a full format of the card using FAT32 but still no different. My card is a Class 2. My understanding of counterfeit cards was that they could only store a fraction of the supposed total whereas I can fit 8gb on this.
C
I started with a 1gb class 4, then 8gb class 2.
now im using 16gb class 2.
Ive never had any problems with any of them.
Sounds like a problem with the card.
You could buy another 8gb and try that one. But you'd have to fork out more money just to see if it is the card.
Best i can suggest im afraid
Hi all again,
I've tried the 8gb card now in a HTC Kaiser (never knew it could take an 8gb) and it works perfectly. Therefore, it must be something with my Touch Pro2. So would it be the ROM or the Radio which could potentially screw up access to the 8gb card ?

Bought this ultra micro sd class 10 sandisk about a year ago. Had it in my htc amaze until may 1st when I got the s4. Today my sd dissappeard. I ejected and inserted multiple times but the phone wont even acknowledge it has a sd card in it. Bought a new identical sd card and it was recognized right away..
plugged bad sd into computer and the computer didnt acknowledge having it plugged in until the 5th time I tried.
was able to copy all my files thank god. 24gigs of work and info almost lost..
anyone else think the sg4 did this some how or could it just be a rotten sandisk micro sd?
input greatly appreciated.
SanDisk had issues with the 32/64GB MicroSD's; im on 64GB number 3 right now, which has worked fine for about a month (the first two would randomly dismount usually once a day on my Atrix 4G and also stop responding on my PC randomly), this one does not. Try getting it replaced or getting a different brand. Normally SanDisk is pretty rock solid (i use sandisks exclusively at work as they are the only certified cards for the recorders i use, and the only brand ive never had problems with. i use mostly CF and also sometimes SD/MicroSD)
Honestly i think the MicroSD thing is all SanDisk related; specifically to 32GB and 64GB Class 10's (the gray/red units). The older 32GB Class 4 black MicroSD's dont have issues.
Crazy update. 2nd 32gb ultra micro sd un mounts and mounts every 9 seconds. Or if you tap the card or shake/move phone slightly it un mounts and re mounts.. I put in a 1gb sandisk black class 4 micro sd and shook and tapped phone over micro sd and it did not unmount at all stood in fine.
this is terrible quality on sandisks behalf. I dont even know if I have receipt for them. I bought both at bestbuy tho...

I know man, i like sandisk but i have had issues with their cards since the s2. I just ordered a 64gb samsung off of amazon. You should give samsung a go.

I bought a SanDisk 64GB microSD card at BestBuy. So far so good works like a charm...*knocking on wood*. I had a 32GB Lexor that I used in my Sensation 4G and it died on me after about 2 years. Was not able to recover the data either. I did backup the data every 2 - 3 months, but still lost a lot of data. :crying: With the S4 I'll probably end up backing up data about every 2 weeks just to be safe. The free 50GB from Dropbox came at the right time.
I bought a samsung 64gb since i read a bunch of reviews that said the Sandisk 64gb would randomly lose all the data on the card and the card would just die. Some said a week after getting it, others said months. I didn't want to risk losing all my pics and stuff

Glad I'm not the only one having issues. I bought a 32GB card and had a bunch of issues with it. It would unmount randomly and the gallery was always slow to load up the contents. I bought a 16GB one and it's been fine. Very fast to load, no issues. I ran an hour long SD card test on it Saturday and it passed with no issues and decided to try it again and so far it's been perfectly fine.. Weird.
i had the same issue with my S3 and my SD card it would just become unreadable out of no where..
if your stock then the only reason i can come up with is nolonger valid
I think i'm going to start utilizing these instant sync apps (G+, Dropbox) just out of fear of losing pictures
There are already multiple threads on this. if you get a damage sdcard warning, plug the card into a PC, open cmd & type chkdsk /r /f <drive_letter>. it will take time to fix your sdcard. Backup your data & reformat if you wish. I get this occassional but with chkdsk I'm have no worry since I can repair & already have backup in place.
With that all said, it is disappointing to have to go through this. What I noticed so far is that it's only happening on my exFAT & FAT32 formatted 64gb sdcard for me. I never had this kind of issue on my 32gb sdcard.
I think this might work
I've been having issues with my 64gb sandisk ( unexpectedly removed error ) & remounting or formatting has not done the trick until now. Formatted card to fat32 with my PC which I have done multiple times & still had issues, but now after a fresh format to fat32 using my PC I decided to format with OUDHs recovery under mounts and storage - format extsd & have absolutely no issues as of yet. No more errors finally. Lmk if it works for you guys.
Thats weird. I've had the same problem with my 32gb sd card i thought it was just the sd card but it seems like a lot of other people are experiencing this as well...
Anyone else getting this error? I have a 64M SanDisk that was working just fine in my note 2. I put it in my notes and I continually get this error. I unmounted, removed and power cycled my phone but it comes back any time I try to access the card. Any ideas?
I would backup the contents of it onto your computer and reformat the card. Then try it.
I've been getting this error when my phone wakes after being idle for a long time. I've tried reformatting the card but I'm skeptical that will fix the problem. According to many online threads, this issue has been widespread across a number of devices, and my card (Sandisk 64GB Ultra CL10) works fine in other devices. Will report back.
This is a common problem with the Samsungs...There is a proper process, as follows.
First, go ahead and do a fresh format of the card and get the contents onto the card.
Second, turn the phone completely off AND REMOVE THE BATTERY.
Put the card into the card slot, replace the battery and power the phone back on.
This has been my process since the sII, and haven't had any issues, save a few completely corrupted cards which were unsalvageable. There is an issue where the card receives current from the battery, and in some cases can corrupt the card and in even fewer (but still entirely plausible cases) completely fry the SD.
I'm not sure why Samsung hasn't caught the issue, or even acknowledged it, but this process avoids it entirely.
Hope this helps
Thanks, I tried that but it made no difference.
The uSD card continues to work fine in my other devices, and diagnostic tests reveal no problems with it, so I'm confident the card itself is ok.
I'm trying another card now (this one 32GB), but I'm guessing the problem will occur with that one too.

Sounds a lot like what happened to my last card in my Note 2. I was able to get a replacement under warranty and haven't had a problem with it happening since.
Well, my guess was wrong. The 32GB card I switched to is actually working fine--no recurrences of the unexpected-removal error.
So I guess there's a problem with the 64GB card, even though it was fine until I switched it from the Note 3 to the Note 4 (and I handled the card carefully).
Good thing, though. It's easier to RMA the uSD card than to exchange the Note 4.
was it an SanDisk card? I have problem using my 64gb SanDisk in my s4 and note3. I changed over to a samsung brand and now I dont have any problems.

Yup, SanDisk Ultra 64GB. I had no problems with it in my Note 3, though.
I have a scan disk 64GB card that I took out of my Note 2 (rooted) and put in my Note 4. I started getting random unmounted errors.
Finally last night I pulled out the SD card and threw it in my computer. Sure enough it came up and said I had some corrupted files. I fixed the files. Dumped the SD card to my HD and then formatted the card in my phone. Then I put my music, pics, videos, and a couple of files for apps aback on the disk. So far no more SD card issues.

Flickr gives you a free terabyte of storage that you can auto-sync your phone's photos to. That way you don't have to buy a large SD card, and you don't have to worry as much about losing photos due to disk corruption.
Yeah, I tried formatting my SanDisk several times and kept getting the same issue any time the phone tried to access data or write to it. I put in an old 32M cheapo brand and have had no issue at all
3 days and no errors. Maybe the Note 4 doesn't like SanDisk brand SD cards?

I'm happy to report that the RMA replacement for my Sandisk Ultra 64GB uSD card arrived today (the replacement is a Pixtor rather than an Ultra), and so far it's working flawlessly.
I have been dealing with this error with my Sandisk 64gig also. Didn't have a problem with it on my Note3. I have reformatted to numerous formats. Anyone know of a specific one that works. Always have had trouble out of Sandisks on Samsung galaxy products. Some I don't , but I have had this problem on at least 5 different devices. I have always read that the thing to do is go with Samsung brand SDs. The new 64gig Samsung is apparently faster than any other micro SD. However, since I have paid for this one, I'd like to use it.
Hi guys,
Fairly new to the tab s got one just over a wek ago, since have been having issues with anys sd card i put in it.
Firstly i used a scan disk 32gb class 10
, it worked ok but would randomly dissapear, and seemed to have issues withplaying 2k videos, eg being choppy
So i thought i would upgraxe to a 64gb samsung evo class 10 card, been having nothging but issues since .
first i put loads on it then my tablet wouldnt read it at all. I then formatted it to ex fat via windows , same issue .
i then formatted in the tabelt it self. Now it works for about 5 mins then it will show as nothing in there
in storage settings says it mounted and show the correct memory but when trying to use it via various apps
as empty .
Both cards work fine jn windows, and have been brought from officisl websites hence arent fake
Anyone have any idea
Im trying to hold off routing so i can use banking apps , but if that lets me axtually use it !
You could try a factory reset on the tablet to see if that helps. If it doesn't work, then you'll need to exchange the tablet and do a factory reset anyways, so it won't hurt to try that first. I'm using the same samsung card you mention and it's working fine.

I just left it how it came, exFAT.
Android doesn't support exfat- it's a Microsoft format for the most part. Format it as fat32 and it will work. These large size microSDXC cards are coming formatted exfat (which was designed for flash devices in mind) but isn't really supported well.
Use fat32
I just got a 64GB flash drive and played with formats to see if I could use exfat or f2fs but nope. Fat32

I don't think that's entirely true. Some android devices don't support exFAT, but from my experience most do these days. I'm currently using an exFAT card on my Tab S.
ok so i tried exfat and fat32 and both did similar things.
I then tried the same cards inside my microusb to micro sd adapter and they worked fine!
So i took it back to John Lewis, spoke to their technical support who didnt know a fat lot, they kept telling me this tablet
doesnt support that type of media, i then showed them it did by using the microusb adapter, we then tried it in the display unit and worked fine, they werent understanding that sometimes it works in my device and
others it wont.
They kept advising me not to just swop it as the samsung tab s wouldnt do what i wanted it to do (i knew it would) they eventually agreed to give me a full refund, so i did and just swopped it for a nexus 9 as i was torn up between getting the
2 when i brought the tab s.
Short story - i swopped my tab s for nexus 9, happy with it so far compared to the tab s.
Also means i have some tab s cases going space if anyone fancies buying them off me for dirt cheap, got the official case, and cheapo one and some extremeguard protectors etc... drop me a message if your interested. (in the uk )
Thanks for all the help guys

Funny enough i had the same sd card in my phone (same brand/model/capacity) and that one works fine in the tab. My phone (galaxy note 2) reads both so i swapped them. Card was Team 64GB sdxc
The nexus is a no go for me, no sd card slot is a deal breacker. Plus the tab s screen is also unbeatable. I do a lot of reading and high res graphics so it's ideal for me.
Android, and this tablet support Exfat no problem.
And you'll want exfat if you want to put HD mkv files on your card larger then 4gb (fat32 limit).
When the tablet formats a new sdcard it does so in exfat.
Sorry to hear you went Nexus 9....
After reading this thread I'm starting to think maybe the S series has some micro SD hardware issues...
Mine is a totally different problem and so far i guess it hasn't affected me much i guess...
I have a SanDisk extreme 32 in mine that i used in my Note 3 and Phantom Vision Plus camera... it has worked flawlessly in those other devices... now, while installed in my Galaxy S 10.5 .... when i wake the screen i see a popup sometimes that says something about "SD card detected" ... as if i just inserted one ... but the damn thing has been in there for two weeks!?!?
So far none of the other problems listed here tho... plays all my 2K video files just fine... reads and writes with no problems... really fast as a matter of fact... i don't get it

For sure the Tab S is very picky about which SD cards it uses. When I upgrade from 64 to 128GB I'll definitely be going with a Samsung EVO/Pro or one of the new SanDisk branded cards just to be safe.
Not true

I don't think that's entirely true. Some android devices don't support exFAT, but from my experience most do these days. I'm currently using an exFAT card on my Tab S.

Quite right - not at all true. Android absolutely supports exFAT - that's the only format you can use over 32 GB - without using some sort of format utility...and even if that works, you can't store files over 4 GB in size (like my ripped Bluray videos). Android also supports NTFS, but SAMSUNG doesn't appear to.

So why does a 16GB Transcend card pre-formatted as FAT32 work, but a 64GB Samsung EVO ***EDIT _- IT NOW LOOKS AS IF THIS CARD IS A FAKE. The App SD Insight shows it as INVALID. The seller did not quible ; just refunded me! *** that comes pre-formatted as exFAT not work? I have had no end of little troubles, which at the bottom of it all seem to come down to this brand new SD card. The card works fine in my PC, and in a camera. I've no other Android with an SD card, having come from Nexus when the 9 was physically too big.
If I don't unmount the card before rebooting the tablet, it has decided that the card is damaged and will not do anything. When I asked it to format the card, all it did was wipe the file table - it only took a few seconds so it cannot have done anything else.
It comes to something when a Samsung tablet will not play ball with a Samsung micro SD card.

I don't really have an answer for you. I have been using a new 128 GB Sandisk card since day one (I assume it is exFAT, as I just put it in out of the box. I did no formatting or mounting) and I have had no problems whatsoever. Worked perfectly when I first booted and has worked like a champion ever since. I'm not seeing any of these problems.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. How frustrating this is... Since posting I have looked farther afield. There are all sorts of threads across various forums on the internet about SD cards suddenly not working in Samsung devices.
I had similar problems with My SanDisk Ultra 32 Gig card. I took it from my LG GPad 8.3 and deleted everything off it on my PC except my music folder, when I put the card in my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 it showed the card but I could not access my data, after a few reboots it worked for a while but was buggy and would stop working. What did work for me was copying off all my data and letting the tablet format the card, I then copied my data back to the card while it was in the tablet over USB. I have not had any issues since and it has been several weeks.
One of the main reasons for replacing LG G Pad 8.3 with Tab S were SD card unmount issues. Here it goes again. I tried two 64 GB SanDisk cards, formated FAT32 or exFAT, even zeroed out one card... The cards still stop working after heavy load from media scanner or reading large video file. The cards work fine in pc, other devices (S5, iBasso...) and even when connected to Tab S using external card reader and USB host cable.
My other cards (32 and 128 GB) exFat and FAT32 formatted SanDisk work fine in Tab S. So I'm trying to solve the issue by ordering 128 GB Samsung EVO card and hoping for the best...
EDIT: The 128 GB Samsung EVO card indeed fixed my issues - even watching large video file is fine.

Android, and this tablet support Exfat no problem.
And you'll want exfat if you want to put HD mkv files on your card larger then 4gb (fat32 limit).
When the tablet formats a new sdcard it does so in exfat.
Sorry to hear you went Nexus 9....

I don't think it does format the card. WHen I did that in my tablet, it took a very few seconds - long enough to do a quick format i.e. clear the data area that tells you where files are, but nowhere near long enough to actually format the card. Therefore all it does is leave the card as teh same format it was beofre the command.
Hi guys,
I doubt I'm the only one here.
I got my G4 (h812 LMY47D)and im ecstatic about using my micro sd slot (S6 was the main deal breaker paying top dollars for more storage) but now I'm running into issues with my Class 10 micros sd from Lexar, This darn software does not want to mount the thing (tried several format including a full 40 minute format @ fat 32 default allocation).
The G4 detects an SD card but won't mount it. This thing works flawlessly on my old S3 so it has to be software related as using a cheap Kingston 1gb class 4 works fine.
Anyone else running into issues with their sd card?
Thanks for sharing any info or tips.

Are you sure the g4 does not require different format. Been awhile since i had this issue. Was a format issue for me.

tried both exFat and fat32,. it does detect a sd card is inserted but will not mount it or allowed to be erase "the options are greyed out"...

gonna have to give them a call as their user guide states
WARNING Some memory cards may not be fully compatible with the device. Using an incompatible card may damage the device or the memory card, or corrupt the data stored in it.
Not to found about this flagship! having issues reading a descent memory brand when an old rival device of 4 years is capable of doing so...
FIX
Just taught of leaving what got me to sort this out after playing around... Fun times :good:
After tinkering around with another SD card, the LG device formatted it to FAT16.
I've formatted the sd card using http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html under FAT/Primary
It created a 4gb partition and left it the remaining untouch
Popped the SD on the G4 and it finally mounted the partition
Performed an erase via the phone 2x to make sure and the entire 32gb is now accessible.
Hope that helps others having mounting issues.

I have facing same problems with my 64 GB sandisk sd card on new LG G4
can you explain the procedure to make it work
I've been using an AData 128GB for the last month or so with no problems. I turned the phone on yesterday morning and for whatever reason it went straight to my home screen but locked up and took half a minute or so to unlock and then goes to the lack screen, then I also got a SD Card inserted notification, I figured nothing of it and ignored it. The micro sd runs fine on other devices (formatted as ex-fat) but it causes that issue on startup i mentioned above as long as it's in the phone and it also refuses to mount.
I'm using the SanDisk SDSDQUAN-200G-A4A 200GB ULTRA MICROSDXC UHS-I since 2.5 months ago formatted in exfat with 128k clusters which was what it was out of the package and it works fine.

SanDisk is the only one with something larger than 128GB at this point in time and notice it's 200GB instead of 256GB as size usually doubles in capacity, heard the 56GB was used for something else or maybe not usable. I have a new 200GB card in there now. There is a 512GB card coming soon from Microdia as well.
