Sd card - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the tab 3 10.1 and when I try to put my sd card in it will not stay in anybody having the same problem

Yes. On both mine & the wife's. After about 100 tries, mine is staying in. Her's stays in for a while, but releases with any minor bump at all. No real solution here... sorry.

I used the tip of a pen to push mine in enough before it springs back and locks. -- Bud

Solved - Help - Dropped desire in a puddle, now not recognising any micro SD cards

Hi,
Being the idiot I am I was running yesterday without making sure my belt case was securely closed and managed to drop my desire in a puddle. After drying it off and reassembling it I'm having 2 issues:
1. Thr phone isnt recognising either of the 2 micro sd cards I've tried so far. It doesn't even show them as unformatted or similar, just no card inserted.
2. The phone seems to have lost its battery backup, on boot up the time and date are wrong, defaulting to jan 7th 1980.
I'll try sticking it in the airing cupboard once I'm home to make sure it is properly dried out, any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Edit: recovery mode does see the sd card so I don't think this is a hardware issue?
Tried flashing an ruu?

Not yet, will try that once I get home if a format of the card doesn't help.

The date thing happens when you have an instant loss of power - ie battery falls out. Happened to me a few times, unfortunately the fix is to delete the Android created directories from the SD Card - so it should fix itself if you get the SD Card sorted.
Stick it in a air tight container with loads of rice. Then leave it for bout a week to let it dry off

Thanks everybody, out turned out that the SD had died, once I followed the suggestion to RUU I got the phone back into a state that it would read other cards.
I've now ordered a replacement 32gb so should be fully back up and running soon.

Yes I just got this message after running across the street with the phone in my pocket. Sd card probably slips out of the slot. I pulled the battery and took out the card then popped it back in. Now it works again. I have a 32gb sandisk class 4 card.

I have the case that Sprint sells and whenever I use the kickstand the card comes out. Ticking me off.

Completely recovered from a "Damaged SD Card"

Last week, after rebooting my phone, I got a message in the notification tray that said "Damaged SD Card." My SD card was completely non-existent, as far as the phone was concerned. I plugged the phone into my computer and mounted USB storage. The drive showed up, but myy computer told me that the drive needed to be formatted (no data existed). I feared that I had lost all of my data. I decided to go for a hail mary and booted into CWM recovery, mounted the sdcard as USB, and run a "chkdsk /r" on the drive from within windows. It took over 2 hours to complete (32GB card), but all of my data came back! It's been about 5 days, and I haven't noticed any corruption of any kind.
I don't know what caused it initially, but I am sure glad I was able to recover it. I thought I'd post this here in case anyone else ran into the same issue. I know some of this info is posted elsewhere, but most threads involved a data recovery software.

I've experienced this problem before too after i kinda just tossed my phone up in the air and caught it (I do this when in bored). And I guess the impact with my hand was too much for the SD card slot, because then it said the SD card was damaged. All I did was take the card out, kinda blew on it like a Nintendo cartridge, and reinserted. It worked fine, and still til this day.

I tried removing/reinserting mine and had no luck... But that is definitely something that you should try first!

honestly I had the same thing happen but I fixed it a lot quicker.
If you ever have that issue again go to your into storage and it should say mount sd. Hit that and let the phone do the rest.

It can happen from a bad kernel as well. I had my SD card wiped out twice during kernel testing on my OG Epic. If you are a flashaholic, its good to backup that SD on your PC every once in a while just in case stuff happens. Corrupt files and such can cause it too

This happened after I returned to calk's ROM from that ics build that was floating around before repo went private. I used chkdsk too to recover

Sd card dead?

I am running freegs3 newest version with stock kernel. I was showing a buddy some pics that were stored in my sdcard...a 32gb pny class 10. Everything was fine then I went to pull up another pic and phone started acting up...wouldn't pull up pics...finally got back to home screen. Tried to get to pics again no go. Got an ongoing message in notification screen saying something about new sdcard or unsupported files. Idk what happened but suspect my sd card. Anyone had this happen? Any recommendations?

well got home and put it into my adapter and laptop. It recognized the card, but said it was corrupted and needed to be reformated. i reformated it cuz I really didnt lose much except for a few pics. oh well... guess ill just be careful for a while and monitor it cuz the card is about 1 1/2-2 years old.

Well shouldn't matter the age, as long as its taken care of. When you remove it, do you unmount it, or just remove it?

[Q] microsd card slot too deep?

Hi folks,
I bought a 2014 note 10.1 and the unit itself seems to work great... except for the sd card. At first I thought it was a formatting issue, and after trying to format it on my computer using FATand exFAT and still the unit wouldn't recognize the card. So, even though the card worked on both my Samsung phone and computer, I went and bought a new card, avoiding some of the ones that have been noted as problematic on these forums (thanks for that help btw!) Still the same problem... except I noticed the card would be mounted for a split second before unmounting. If I push on the card, with the stylus for example, down to the bottom of the slot, it mounts. Let go, even with the for closed, it won't stay mounted. Thinking it was just a weird defect, I exchanged the unit at best buy... and this new unit has the same issue! I'm just wondering how wide spread this is and if somehow my local bb just got a bad batch? Have people figured out someway to fix this issue? The sd card is pretty important to me.
Are you sure the SD card is being pushed all the way down till it clicks???

I agree. It can't be pushed all the way in. I do not see this issue with mine.
You have to be very careful putting the sdcard in. If you pushed it in too hard and on a angle it can get stuck up under the case and destroy the slot.
I push mine in slowly with my finger until I hear it click. Maybe that chip is fried.
