Hello guys,
I am using the Galaxy Note II N7100 variant. I am facing a problem with my external SD card.. I am using a 64GB Sandisk Ultra which is Class 10 AND UHS I card..
However recently my write speeds to the card from my mobile have droped drastically!! FYI The card is still blazing fast on the computer (Via the Card Reader) :thumbup:
Next issue is now a days, I cant unmount this sd card. When I say Unmount, it says Unmounting Sd Card for a loooonnnggg time and then the phone reboots! :what: However If I format the same card and unmount it, it get unmounted easily... SO M GUESSING its because of some app I shifted on this card Maybe?! But for the end of me, I cant seem to find that app IF thats the case!
Any help, views, suggestions and inputs are welcome.. SOLUTIONS ARE MOST WELCOME
Thanks and Cheers

Try the obvious! Wipe cache from recovery and dalvik.
try a factory reset and if all else fails give the phone a full wipe

In that case your options are pretty limited! You can try looking for service codes to access so called 'secret menus' but im not sure how effective that would be but you could get lucky! tbh id be worried that its a hardware issue with your phone and one of the first things warranty service dept will get you to try is a factory reset
Thats a bit worrysome then.. Since my GN2 is out if warranty any ways, let me try your method.. :thumbup:

Boot into the bootloader, then select clear storage. This is a COMPLETE wipe of data...
Or, try and flash a new rom first before doing the prior.
i cant flash anything cause my sd card is wipe, there is nothing on it... i did the clear storage and nothing... how can i get my sd card to be read on my pc or mac

Hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english.
So, here is my problem : I flashed the ROM "Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0" yesterday, everything works good except that each time I insert my SD Card (8Go), it says "the card was unexpectedly removed". I've already tried using another SD Card (2Go), but it has the same result. I tried to reboot my phone in hope it will work, but nothing. I don't know if it is the SD cards or the ROM ?? Could someone help please ? Thank you in advance for your help.
Same here only it won't mount on the ROM. I tested it with my tablet and its fine
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium HD app
I get the same issue on all ICS roms?????and on JB rom it works fine
i also had a spot of bother installing that one for a test ...................
solution - wipe everything sd, dalvic, system etc all of it, then put rom on sd/card and reinstall, dont let aroma restart just select no and the do it via recovery.

Im having a similar issue.
I have installed the Blackout ICS v3.0 and it all works fine, but then the SD card will unmount and wont then be recognised no matter how many times i restart/reinsirt the card
I've been using this rom for a week now and never had that issue. Did you tried reflashing after full wipe?

I tried a 3rd sd card newone and now everything is working perfect
I nmanaged to sort it out, all I had to do was do a battery pull and its been fine since.
In a bit of a pickle.
No matter what I do, my system status is always modified.
I've unrooted with TA, flashed stock, then wiped cache, wipe data, and wipe cache.
It shows normal the first boot.
Then when it restarts, it's modified again.
Suggestions?

You have to do a data/factory reset in settings/backup and restore mate.That should fix it.
Tried that, still modified.
Get it rooted again. Install triangle away and use it. Then flash stock rom via odin, wipe cache/data and factory reset. Viola!
Thats what I did and it worked.

That's the steps I went through.
Are there any special steps I need before I flash via Odin?
Just TA?
Does it still show Normal after a restart?
Cos for me, it's shows Normal, and just after one reboot, it's automagically modified.
Try to factory reset again. I did it twice
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Done that loads of times.
As soon as I restart device, it shows modified.
I need to claim warranty, which is why I need it normal normal normal.
Could it be a problem of the stock firmware?
Does anyone know the CSC of the unlocked version of the N7100?
a friend of mine wanted to claim warranty at o2 in Leeds but couldn't due to device modified. He raised hell but the store wouldn't budge. One of the store sales people asked him if he had insurance, he had.. puked him to one side pretending to calm him down, and told him to go home, or coffee over the phone and come back tomorrow to claim insurance for a new phone.
My friend went back, did that.. and the store salesguy have him another phone under insurance.
My friend could b real lucky and might not work for u. For obvious reasons he won't tell me the name of the kind understanding fellow. But he left a letter of compliment for the sales guy good service.

I would do that, but won't accept a refurbished device over my new one.
If only they give new replacements.
Anyway, I finally got it back to Normal.
I used Kies to restore it, and it's on Normal no matter how many times I restart.
I think I just needed to reflash it twice to get it back to Normal.
We'll see what they say today, as I went in yesterday, and they somehow said my CSC isn't valid... wtf.
Apologies if not relevant...
...but my brand new, sealed box Vodafone N-7100 shows "Modified" until I remove the SD card, at which point it show "Unmodified" and allows update check etc. but as soon as I put in the SD card again.
I was panicking that it had been rooted or something but I think it's just a weird software bug. I found a guy in a forum mentioning the SD card thing and sure enough it fixed it for me.
My SD card is 64GB, formatted as exFAT by the phone itself, incidentally.
Anyone else having this problem with a 100% stock, unrooted, unhacked phone?
U mean if u insert a 64gb sdcard formatted to exfat or will show modified? That's weird. Lucky I use 32gb cards
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Hi,
Yes that's exactly right. I haven't actually tried formatting FAT32 to see if it has the same issue. Also I haven't tried other SD cards - I've only had the phone a short while.
I used to use the same SD card in my Galaxy S2 with no issues.

I have the same issue with a T-Mobile (US) version. Removing the 64GB exFAT micro SD card and rebooting causes the device status to change from Modified to Normal. Reinserting the micro SD card causes the device status to show as Modified. Is the only fix to format the SD card as FAT32?

Hello,
You really need to check your original csc sold in your country, then you must download it from sammobile and flash again!

I haven't tried it either. The issue still exists following the T-Mobile system update that I just installed today. I was able to install the update with the SD card removed.
I have two cards. A Samsung 32GB class 10 and a Sandisk microSDXC ultra 64GB
Both cards were tried, both formatted in FAT32 as well as ExFat and tried sdformatter.
BUT my galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition with CND1 (Columbia Kit Kat) after some hours of use, loses the SD card.... It cannot see it until a couple of reboots.
Do you think its because of a bad flash? Should I try CND2?
Opinions please

If you are rooted , just install "Folder mount" , it will cure your ext. sd problem.

unfortunately im not rooted as i want to keep the warranty (already used it twice for screen and battery replacement)
I just flashed the US Kit kat via odin, did a factory reset and can only hope the problem goes away. Do you think it may be a hw fault? Anybody else had similar issues?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that with kit kat you can't put stuff on a SD card anymore unless you use a SD fix.If you look around forum there is some information about it. I think you also need to be rooted but might be wrong about that. I think there is a app in market called SD fix.

Incorrect. You can use also with KitKat and unrooted as before. The only restriction is that downloaded apps can write only in their own app directory. And this all have nothing to do with the recognizion of the sd-card.

Until now, I didn't see that someone had a related problem.
I hope for you that it was a bad flash. Otherwise I would try to clean the caches and then a reflash but here also clean the cashes. And normally it is better to remove sd-cards before a flash but I also didn't do it.
I performed a factory reset, cleared cache, then flashed the US Kit Kat, again factory reset. Everything works... but after a 15 minute music listening or just out of the blue, the SD card (tried a Samsung formated FAT32) is not responding.
I don't think its a hardware issue, because this time under "storage" i can see the card. However I cannot play anything from it and if I unmount and re-mount it says that the file system is not supported or the card is damaged.
This is soooooo weird and disturbing....
Hi Guys,
I'm on Temasek's CM11, been using this Sony 64GB microSD card for over a year, and today, randomly while the phone was in use, I saw a message pop up, SD card unexpectedly unmounted. After that, it's not using up in the file systems, all the way down to the Recovery. I'm using TWRP.
I put the SD card in another Note 3 I have and everything seems to be fine on there, all the data is here.
So just posting here to make sure that is it safe to conclude that my SD card slot is fried?
And if so... What are my options... I have had the Note 3 for over a year and brought it off of Craigslist. It's unlocked and use it on AT&T...
So any ideas or advice friends? And yes, I pressed the SD card firmly in my Note 3 many times...
Thank you!
Anyone guys?
have you tried a different sd card? Also is your phone rooted if so try to access it in recovery. if so then something in the system messed up and a restart of your phone could fix it or a new rom. good luck hope it's not fried :-\

Thanks bud for your response! Yes, another sd doesn't show up in the phone, but works in another phone. And no, Recovery does not pick it up either .
Looking to move to another ROM, want to try Android 5.0, but really want to make sure I can come back to KK if I want to. The fact that sd is not showing up in recovery is really discouraging, but also, there are no signs of sd card slot being fried either like a smell or anything.
Please keep responding folks, if you have any ideas! Thank you!
Your using CM11 killed the sdcard slot in your Note 3. No use crying after spilled milk. Stick to stock rom next time.
