Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement for the sd card reader on the back of the phone? I went to do a CWM backup then all of the sudden it can read my card and it isn't showing up on my phone then I noticed I can see the pins moving on the top. Don't know how happened I didn't take it out or drop the phone.

So I don't know what's happening but I have a 32gb class 10 micro sd card. And once a week it just goes corrupt and my files are all corrupt. It's seriously getting on my nerves and I don't know what to do. I I've formatted it in the phone and in a pc and it doesn't matter it still happens.

They don't last forever. Have you used that card a lot?

Any ideas? It will just abruptly stop saving pictures to my ext sdcard and when I use root explorer to see why it has changed from read/write to read/only.

Sounds like the card may just be faulty?
I have had one incident with my current SD card recently where it wiped itself but fortunately it hasn't happened again. I have a 32 GB Class 10 also. I have read of other experiences with QC issues with lesser known brands like "Patriot" (my current) or "PNY". I think for my next one I'll spend the extra dough and go Samsung. I hear those are built like tanks

SanDisk are the best. I have a 64GB class 10 microSDXC UHS-1 in mine.

It could be the card itself. Why not try another card and see if it happens on other cards.

Good thing I back up my phone on the constant.
Never had issues with any cards till I got this phone.

Damnit! Not good news for me. I hate that the internal memory is all one partition. This is ridiculous.

My phone was charging this morning. And then out of the sudden, I look at it and have this notification.(see pics below). I click on it and a box comes up asking me to reformat my card. I have too many pics on that card that I would hate to lose. By the way is a SanDisk Ultra class 10 32GB. Any thoughts or possible fix?

Already tried to inserted on my computer. PC don't see it. Does that mean I just lost over 2, 000 pictures and many videos?

Dear all,
A few days ago I got my micro sd card from my Samsung s3 taken without disabling them. Since it is no longer recognized by the phone and not the PC. If I plug in the PC takes a long time until I can read the properties. This shows 0Byte. Formatting is not possible => no medium available!
If the card is defective? Or I can somehow bring to life?
Having same issue here. My second card just did it again after a month. Using a sandisk 32gb. I couldn't find a way to fix it.

If you can't format it, and if your computer can't read it there's no way your phone is going to be able to. You took it out without disabling it in your phone first? Bad mistake that feature is there for a reason
Sounds like you may need a new SD card. I have a 32gb sandisk and mine works perfectly :angel::victory::silly:
I didn't remove mine. Mine was in phone when it just stopped working both times.

I am having a similar problem I never removed SD after initial install and starting a few days ago it constantly says SD has unexpectedly been removed and then it mounts and unmounts on its own I tried reformatting it and sometimes it works for a while but eventually goes back to do that. Rooted running jelly bomb 10.2

My SanDisk 32gb card also did this. I've had bad luck with the 32gb card's. I've had great luck with my SanDisk 64gb ultra card, and 16gb card's.

Is everyone had this issue?? Because I had this issue too with my 32 gb card!!

Had the same issue with my S3.
Turned out that the SD card was dying (the card brand is Team Group), 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 (made in Korea), 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:

My mom's OG Epic just crapped out.. 16GB Lexar (i think it was) worked fine.... all of a sudden "Damaged SD Card" on top of screen, Put in computer, no dice... Finally got PC to format it, Worked fine in there, Phone still wouldn't read (Formatted different file types each time) tossed in an old 2Gb.. Worked like a true pilsner.. So looks like my computer has 16GB of extra storage now. LOL
So today i noticed that my SD card was getting really hot and i ended up getting a sd card blank or not formatted message. I installed another card and it works fine. I put the oringinal card in my computer with a card reader and wont even register. Is my SD card fried? Im on FH13 with exynos abuse root. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a dead card. If it is SanDisk, they have a lifetime warranty.

I did know back in like 2011 when I bought it, I just forgot that it was SanDisk with that had the life time warranty. Oh well, bought a new SanDisk 32GB hcsd for $25
So. I got a note 4 about 2 weeks ago. Was going to get a nexus 6 but I wanted an SD card slot. So I go to put in my sd card a few days ago( less than a year old SAMSUNG 64gb sd card) and 2 days later it is absolutely dead, no low level formatting tools, can't be read on any device no way no how, no chkdsk no nothing. Of course Samsung has no warranty info on their 64 gb cards online hopefully I have time to call after work today.
And NOW, I popped in a older sd card this morning, and it's saying it's blank or not formated right..
what a joke samsung
Mainly I want to know if there is anything I should do before I get a replacement sd card so this doesn't happen again. Factory reset, take it in for a replacement, or get a new phone. Lol. Do you think the lollipop update will help?
Both these cards worked fine on my s4
