32 GB SanDisk Ultra class 10 will not read - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

This card used to work regularly for about 4 months then one day my phone said it dismounted and it became defective since that notification. I returned it due to the warranty and got a a brand new card from SanDisk. My computer reads it (and I formatted to FAT32) but, my phone refuses to even see it. And yes I attempted to format within the phone in the settings and it doesn't even say its mounted. Any possible suggestions? I tried everything it seems like. Thanks

well what rom and kernel are you running? that helps.
is it only that card or any card?
have you looked for any dirt or crud in the sd card slot. try blowing into there.
are you sure you have the card clicked in all the way? past the point where it springs back?

Here's another suggestion. Load a new rom @asop or touchwiz and if everything but your phone detects it still then you probably have a defective card reader.

There is a thread on the forum about this very issue. Android runs a system thresd called media server and it runs every once in a while. When it is running, it will thoroughly thrash your sd card, by reading and writing. You can notice this behavior when you boot or reboot your phone; your phone is sluggish and laggy for the first few minutes-media server is running, reading the entire contents of your internal and external storage AND writing a new databse of what it finds.
This unnecessary thrashing dealt by the media server results in eventual ruination of solid state memory cards.
You can disable the media server by instaling and running an app called rescan media root. You have to root your phone to use it.

Media scanner, not media server. My bad.

It randomly began to work one day when I inserted it again. But occasionally when I turn on my screen, it says "Preparing sd card". It is a brand new Sandisk card so it doesnt appear to have anything wrong with it physically. It works for now but I'm afraid it may not function soon. I believe Sandisk class 10 sd cards have had trouble in some Galaxy S3 devices similar to mine. Any other ideas?

The same thing happened to my friend, and it turned out the replacement SD Card was also defective. Have you tried Card swaps with another device to verify?

[Q] SD card unexpectedly removed

Using the pre-installed stock Samsung Class 2 micro SDHC 8gb
Constantly getting this error from the DHD:
"SD card unexpectedly removed"
Symptoms:
1) Usually happens after installing / removing apps.
2) Tends to re-boot by itself after "hang" after about 10 seconds
Note the following items:
1) USB Debugging = ON
2) SIM card is fully inserted
3) SDHC card is fully inserted
4) Using stock ROM
5) PC Error Checking (bad sector) = No error
6) Have tried to format the SDHC. Result = same error
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot tis ?
Is the pre-installed SDHC card at fault ?
Thanks
Another thing you can try is to check with another card (New or Old)
If it still does it....then there shud be some problem with the card holder unit or something...get it replaced mate
Had the same issue. Think your SD card is broken. Mine was. Couldn't even get it to work on a pc. Tried a new SD card and the problem was gone. Just got out of the Vodafone store. They replaced the SD card under warranty.

I've got EXACTLY the same problem. It's bloody crazy!
I read that the phone may not be able to cope, as it's only a class 2 card - but I don't think that is correct, is it?
I've contacted HTC, and they just told me to take it back to the store and ask them to check it out. I'll probably do that in a week or so.
it just happened to me!! randomly. everything was fine and then suddenly it just failed on me. any clue why?

Bundled Samsung SD cards with the latest OTA update are known to fail, search for more info in other threads here to see if you'd qualify for a warranty replacement.

Been happening to me on the stock Samsung class 2 8gb... anyone encountered any problems changing to a class 4 card?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
when I woke up this morning I couldn't access any of the programs on my sd card (SanDisk 16GB Class 2 SDHC), when I rebooted my desire HD the same thing happened. I tried manually mounting it, rebooting like ten times, inserting, ejecting the card etc, nothing would work.
Can't be the phone just smashed a 16GB card over night :/
YES....!! Gggrrrrr! it just happened to me last night. I rebooted my phone after installing some different Apps throughout the day (as is usual in my Android daily life). then after the phone rebooted about 30-45 seconds later i saw the "SD Card unexpectedly removed", thats strange i thought. Couldn't get past that after about another 4 reboots i removed the SD Card and tried it in a card reader on my PC. similar thing, I could ready the file structure on the WIN PC but then about 30 seconds later the drive disappeared and was no longer available. I then re formatted the card (started the process withing the first 30 seconds) and thought that would fix it. Now neither my WIN PC or Desire can read the card. also tried in Lynx Puppy environment but no go.
I think my 16GB Class 2 card is TOASTED. Was it because it used an Ext4 Partition on the card for the past 7 weeks? I heard some people in the site saying that Ext4 can damage your SD Card...?
Had the same problem - lost all my unbacked-up data. Quite disappointing. Bought a new micro SDHC and hasn't had a problem since.
So it's the SD-Card then?
It's happening to me most of the time and it's really anoying!
Yep time to buy a new one.if your luck and still able to access your old card then get it backed up quick.......before it goes tits up.
Sent with Desire.
Just visited the HTC customer center last week to check on this issue. Seems like its got to do with a bad batch of cards.
They replaced an identical Samsung microsd class 2 8gb card to let me use for a couple of days. Told me that If I was to still encounter the same problem, it could be problems with the card reader chasis, and I'd have to leave the phone with them for a couple of days.
I'm happy to report that I have not had 1 single "SD card removed unexpectedly" since I got the new replacement card.
I highly suggest for people facing the same problem to get their cards replaced by the seller or HTC.

I just have the same problem like yours.
I tried many way and methods, It just can't working fine!!
so I buying another sdhc as sandisk 8G class 4
now I have no problem for two months so far.
I am reasonably to Suspected...
that the problem happends cuz this garbage samsung SDHC!!
Change it now! you'll feel like:[what a wonderful world~]
The "telus" version comes with an 8gig class 4 card but upgraded to a 16gig class 10. No problems either way.
Guess Canada nipped it in the bud
I was going fine with the stock 8Gb card and then I replaced it with a class 10 16Gb card and after about a week it started randomly ejecting. The card worked fine in other devices and can always be read in Windows but I guess it's only time - I have had another card go in the past and it's a real downer.
I'm not convinced it's the card. I've tried uninstalling any suspect apps but it hasn't made much difference.
Formatting the card and replacing all the files kind of works but I have still had one random 'eject' in the last 48hrs since I last formatted.
Actually the problem seems to have started when I re-flashed my current rom - Android_Revolution_HD-4G_4.0_beta4
Wish we could find out what is going on here.
Having the exact sample problem, but with a 16g card that I bought several month ago. I have another 16g card, will swap and see if the problem go.
I had this problem as well
So I formatted the SD Card and had the problem since...
however sometimes, it cant seem to recognise some pictures in the card, so i use SD rescanning app...
Heard someone saying this was caused by an OTA, well I had a warning around 2 days before the SD-Card Un-Mounted saying that the Card was in Read-Me format... anyway 2 days later my SD-Card became un-mounted and then became comepletely useless. I was unable to mount it or anything, going to get my dad to ring up HTC, as we rung my carrier and they said the problem 'had never been reported' which is bull**** as theres enough people here with the problem...

Strange SD Card problem

I had a strange problem happen to my SD Card on my SG3. I have a Patriot 16GB class 10 card that I used on my EVO 4G for a almost 2 year without a problem. After when I got my new phone I clean all folders that I no longer needed except my pictures and some applications. Put the card in my SG3 and everything was OK. I was able to copy files take a pictures and everything seems to work the way it should. Last week I was on a trip and during the process to taking a picture I got a message that my card was removed and basically disappear. I reboot the phone and nothing happen. then a little bit later I saw another message that card was found and everything show up again. Then I check do I have all the pictures and most of them were there except on a last one was (when card disappear) basically it was look like that picture was taken a half way. So I delete that bad picture and continue. A day later it happen again but this time when card show up again instead a normal card I have that message in notification bar with a little sd card that it says Blank SD card. then if I pull down and click on it phone is asking me to format the card. I try to mount the card but got the same message Blank card or unsupported file system. Ok so I didn't have at that time my adapter to plug in to my laptop and wait until I got home to try to repair the card.
Here is what I got now and I'm not sure is phone damage the card or card slot on the phone is not good.
I use minitool under windows and GParted as well under linux. Both of them recognize my card as 60 GB Unallocated space (it is a 16GB). when I try to recreate or format both of them said successful but card is not show up. I have to plug it back and then it goes again as a 60GB unallocated space.
Does any one know how to format a 16GB card as FAT32? I mean the settings I have to use to put to get back again this card as a 16GB not as 60GB.
Sorry for the long explanation and thanks for you help in advance.
P.S. I' not rooted and on LG8 update.

Windows will format it just fine under Disk Management. The fact that its reading it as a 60GB... I'd bet on the card as bad. I have hours and hours trying to save thumb drives and SD cards. 97% of them had no hope. Sometimes the card reader can act up... but not likely, and the phone's kicking it out too. Try to stick with Kingston or SanDisk even if you have to pay a little more. Yes, Cards do go bad like that.

Thanks for the reply. It is look like that this card is going bad. It kind a surprise me since I didn't have any problems under my old phone. I will play a little bit more to try to repair it but....... looks like will be a lost a time.
Do you think that because it was a class 10 card causing a issue? I saw a couple treads but most of the SD card that people use are class 4.

Probably 1.5 year. I got my EVO 4G back in sept. 2010 and bought the card a couple months later when rooted my phone.
Yeah, like root said, the class wasn't the issue. The different phone might have pissed it off but you really never know. I never liked Patriot myself, but then some people like them. Gotta back stuff up or have it auto upload somewhere.

When I first got my SGS3 I used my old card from my OG Droid. I got an OTA update and my phone quit working (I got the "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped working" message). I took the phone back and they asked if I had ever had an SD card in it. I said "Yes, my old card from my Droid." I was told that this is a "known issue" with the SGS3 and that any SD card I used should be formatted in the phone itself. I'm not sure if this is the issue here, but it might be.

[Q] microSD card died

I had a SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC Class 6 32GB (formatted FAT32) in my Galaxy S3 with no issues for about a month. Then one day I was at work, unlocked my phone and got a "SD card has been unexpectedly removed" notification. After that the microSD card wasn't recognized in the phone, my laptop, nor my desktop PC.
Has anybody else had this issue?

question is, where did u buy the sd card it might of been a fake, their are multiple sdcards which look good and real but overall are fake due to the ability to operate in heat, so it might of overheated and crashed(died) its a big issue with fake sd cards out there, they usually go out or burnt due to not being able to take the heat of the phone. On normal operate the sd card should be able to take 40 to 45C which make it 90-100 Ferenheit, if its a real SD card it should be able to take more then this and reach upto 65+C or around there.
easy ways to spot a fake is if ure saving files on ure phone and it says u got a class 6 or class 10 sdxc card and its operating less then it should, it crashes on u when trying to open a file or it resets itself and tries to scan again for it. in many cases it will get too hot and burnt out, or it just stops operating out of the blue.

I bought the card from Adorama (a photography focused site) in April. SanDisk is letting me RMA the card (just got that approved last night). I just want to make sure it's not my phone causing the problem. Up until the "unexpectedly removed" error, I never had any issues with it crashing or having to scan for itself again (unlike the class 4 I was trying to test the card slot with right now).

If that's the case have u tried varies card readers or card ports to see if it could be the unit itself..... However if it does out that way, I believe scndizk does back this up with a lifetime warranty if ure sd card does stop operating and then should be able to replace it.

Even so the gs3 should be able to read ure 32gb flawlessly since it's supportive to sdhc, now it does also supports sdxc which is expected from higher performance sd cards to not be able to read or install correctly on the gs3 unless u format to extfat or fat32. Chances are u might have a bad sd card. By default their storage capacity is 32, after that, that's where u need to take does drastic measures. Try formatting it on ure computer, if it doesn't format then ure gs3 should read it, if it doesn't format u already know.
Had the same issue with my S3.
Turned out that the SD card was dying, this caused it to be unmounted by itself and then mounted again (sometimes showing notification “sd card removed unexpectedly”), hence triggering the media scanning process.
I created 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.
I just published this app in the play store now, this is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sdcardmonitor

Ext SD Card Not Recognized

Like the title says, picked up an SD card, doesn't show up under the Storage menu or when I connect to PC via USB. I've downloaded an app that lets me format the SD and it shows up there, but after formatting I still can't access or even see that the SD card in installed.
It's a GSKILL class 10 64gb SDXC

I am having the same problem with a dual sim D858 G3.
Have tried Sony, Samsung, Sandisk MicroSDXC cards of various capacities, none work.
Anyone have a solution ?
Hmmm, investigation with a torch and loupe revealed that one of the MicroSDXC reader pins were bent down.
Managed to lift it with a needle and now it works fine.
This was on a new phone, wonder if other people's problems had a similar cause ?
Format the SD Card in storage settings. It should format and be useable
Try couple things:
1. Try (may be borrow from a friend if you don't have one lying around) a different brand name card. Some generic brand cards (especially from eBay) are little flimsy and does not provide proper contacts. It happened to me on both HTC M8 and LG G3. Tried SanDisk card and all went well.
2. Try formatting the card using PC into Fat 32 format (you can always reverse this formatting to ex-fat) and see if this make any difference.
3. This one sounds very basic but under storage, sometime you have to manually click on "mount SD card".
Good luck!
Ok try this
1- but it in lapttop slot (card reader of laptop ) dont try another way .
2- use SDformatter 4 .
3- ok now put it in your device.
I hope it will work properly

I have this problem too. April 2017 and LG STILL haven't sorted it out. Impossible for so many owners to have faulty phones. Definitely a SOFTWARE issue ! Terrible customer service. I actually NEED to use an SD card in my work. .Never getting an LG phone again.

Have spoken to a repair shop and what they said is that this is a typical issue with the LG G3, another one (which I also see a lot) is spontaneous reboots, even when the phone is seemingly doing nothing. And these issues get only worse over time. The only way to solve them is to replace the mainboard, which probably isn't worth it. Looked at alibaba.com, they are around 30-40 USD. I have reflashed the stock firmware in my futile attempts to get both issues solved, but it is obviously a hardware issue.
Yeah stopped working too. I've noticed an issue with a pin in the MicroSD card slot. I imagine this is the issue. I'll open it up when I have time.
Take the card out, insert it in a PC and check it for errors. DiskGenius or MiniTool Partition Wizard can help you here. DiskGenius can also check for partition table errors.
Also make sure the card is formatted exFAT, not FAT32 or NTFS and that the cluster size is either 8K or 128K.
If that doesn't work back up your files, format as exFAT with 128K cluster size, then copy the files back. You may have to do this anyway if a partition table error is detected.

SD card unexpectedly removed

Just received my unlocked 10, t-mobile. Put my 128gb sandisk card in and it works fine, but I keep getting a notification that the SD card is unexpectedly removed. Tried reseating it, still get it. Anyone else?
I put a 200gb sandisk on my htc 10 and no problems so far.

Maybe I'll try reseating it again
Still no luck, might need to reformat it

Could be a defective card too. Or even the reader. My 128 Samsung hasn't made a peep so far.

It worked fine the other day, I've had it for awhile. I think I'll try a reformat and see what happens. I'll let you guys know. Thanks.
My PNY 128GB has been doing that too. It would show the message and when I check on it, sure enough, it's unmounted. So I took it out and formatted it in another phone and it's slightly better. I get the unmounted message, but the card stays mounted. I'll probably try a different card tomorrow.
I have same issue with my Samsung 128gig card. Random unmounted status.

@dottat @protoadies01 Is it possible for you guys to provide the exact model numbers for your Samsung cards for comparison sake? It may help rule out defective device and/or card. My PNY card is the P-SDUX128U160G-GE model.

exFAT Default allocation should be fine, but you can just format it in the phone. If you run into issues, try FAT32. If you still run into issues, try another card.
I'm going to try a reformat today, see if it works
I've been on a clean reformatted card for about 2 hours now, so far no error. I haven't loaded back up yet though.
My pny only gave me problems when I was writing a lot or something big to the card.
I swapped mine out of 4 different phones, then into this one, so it's no wonder it errored
I have a Lexar Professional 128GB Class 10 and am now getting the same problem.
It has been fine all week but all of a sudden from yesterday morning it has started playing up.
I have tried RE seating and it works for a little while then complains.
I have also found just restarting wakes the card up for a little while so am wondering if it is software related rather than physical?
I don't know, I did a full reformat on my laptop, then formatted it on my phone and haven't had any problems since.

Did you reformat as internal memory or just a standard format?

I just tried reformatting mine in my phone as internal memory, but it is failing to recognise the card as U3 which it is supposed to be.

I did it as external.
