Long story short, I dropped my phone in water and its completely bricked. Tried all post-water damage tricks to no avail. I need need neeeed to access the phones SD card to see if it still works in hopes of salvaging some data I have. Is this possible since its a unibody phone with no removable mechanism for the actual SD card?
Appreciate your input, thanks!

If you can't get it to at least boot you are screwed. The internal storage isn't a card at all. Its nand storage on a chip. See orange block.

In past few days this message appears several times a day when i wake up the phone from sleep/standby. It goes away after 2 seconds and i do have access to the card as usual. Sometimes the message does not appear but the SD Card icon appears/flashes in the top left corner of the screen then goes away. Again access to card is OK. First i thought some apps may have caused this so i did a hard reset and just tried the card from factory state...still the same. It seems this has started after a recent update that brought the multi window function. This issue was not present prior to the update. I've also tested the card in a reader on my computer and all is working fine. So, it appears the card is not faulty and possibly there is a bug in the recent update? Or a hardware problem? The phone has not been rooted at all.
Anybody having this issue? Any ideas what might be causing it?
Thx!

Hi my t-999 is getting a no sim error when i have my sim in and i dont know how to fix it.
EDIT: Also my micro sd wont mount
Sounds like the SIM/MicroSD reader has failed or become disconnected.
See the rectangle in the lower left, that is the connector:

Warranty it, place an insurance replacement request, or take it apart and check it is was disconnected, if so reconnect it, if not replace that part.
Before you do all that, if you were rooted and modded, Odin flash the Stock firmware and try again.
Also try different SIM and sd cards, just to be sure. Go to a T-Mobile store if you don't have any of your own.

You were right the the connector came loose so i opened the phone and plugged it back in. Thanks man
Great to hear that you got it fixed. Glad I could help.
Ok so I am a firm believer on "search, learn and search until you understand"! I've been searching and haven't found much. This is the deal. I am on my 3rd replacement/refurb of this phone. We all hear that "every device is different" and I always agreed. Basically when I connect to PC in usb mode for file transfer usually I will have both internal and external sd slots available. With this refurb I can only see internal sd when phone is running regular and from recovery (agat 1.4.2) only external is viewable? How can I get both viewable at the same time again? I always run TW, tried pretty much all the GB27 ROMs and a couple different kernel options, tried a fresh 16GB and my older 32GB sd cards. I can't figure it out? It used to work no problem, not it's gone?Is this happening to others? Any input would be much appreciated! Thanks
So nobody else is are has had this problem? I'm usually pretty good at finding solutions and answers to problems, but this still has me beat!
I've had the problem before but not consistently and a reboot always fixes it.

It's nothing. Blank spaces where in later models new ports may be added to the housing. If you look below the battery there are 3 more. 2 next to the micro sim and 1 next to the sd card. I may be wrong but that's what they appear to be to me.

The small hole on the opposite side of the flash. That's the water damage sticker. In the little hole.
Hello, I really hope someone can help.
So I'm using my D855 for two years now and since day one I had 32gb Samsung SD card in it. Few days ago, out of nowhere I got this:

'Screen shot with different card'
I thought that card is dead, but than I took my wife's card and my phone didn't even read it, at all.
I tried with 4 SD cards so far, with no luck. I was hoping that it is some bug, but than I factory reset my phone, and issue is still there.
So this is what happens:
Card in:
And than:
Few times I got option to format to fix SD but after that it says 'READING SD' and nothing is going on.
I still have my fingers crossed that I do not have to replace my phone.
I'm on stock, with no physical droppings of the device.
Thanks in advance.

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.
So for some sort period of time I can see my SD and even open folders. I don't know why, but I thought it can be important.
