I've heard a lot of bad reports of issues with external sd card and 4.4.2
I'm in Australia and just received my G Pad this morning (came from DWI - wanted it in black and unfortunately only the White one is sold in Australia) Turned it on and it shows the OTA for 4.4.2 is available. I was very tempted to just fire up the update but I've held off for the moment just so that I can do some research as to any other problems people are experiencing with 4.4.2 Out of the box my G Pad runs nice and I'd hate to update it just to be plagued with issues.
EDIT* Sorry, misread question.
I have problems with my sd card, too. If i download songs via Napster, the G Pad throws out my sd card.

SD Card locked
Guys! Read This:
http://www.androidcentral.com/kitkat-sdcard-changes
Using the restore upgrade errors through the LG PC suite mostly fixed the problem I was having with my SD card after upgrading to Kitkat. It was frequently disconnecting itself and requiring a reboot or physically removing / replacing it to make it usable again.
I say mostly, because it still occasionally pops up the SD card disconnected window when I wake it up, but it immediately disappears again and says 'sd card inserted' in the notification bar and is fully usable.
Note, Kitkat making the SD card read only to certain apps is a feature not a bug...
I took the plunge and updated to 4.4.2 - I am not experiencing any disconnecting issues with the sd card. As far as the other issue of write restrictions imposed by KK. Well.. I decided to root and apply the fix. So now, so far, no problems..

Cheers for the replies good to know im not the only one, I understand kitkat may do it with certain apps but the camera? Seems bit crappy, my problem I guess is when it remounts it isnt usable until eject maybe I will just reupdate and try again.
when you guys updated did you leave the sd card in or you took it out because i left my card in and it worked fine after the update. 128gb sandisk
I also have issues with the sdcard unmounting from time to time after the upgrade to 4.4.2 . I noticed that it disconnects very frequently when I use Google music and my chromecast. It is getting really annoying.
Anyone knows how to do a bug report to LG on the issue?
Sent from my LG-V500 using Tapatalk
What brand and size sdcards are you using?
The sandisk 64 bit has issues. This is only the sandisk 64 cards, other cards like the Samsung 64 work fine, as well as other sizes of sandisk.
I have the same ptoblem with Sandisk 32 GB.

Sony 4gb nothing special but is annoying have to keep removing to be able to copy downloads to it..
I had issues with the built in video app and vlc reading my sd card, unmointing and reinserting the sd card fixed the problem
No problems for me with the SD card after the 4.4.2 update but I only use mine to store all my music and photos. I have a 32 Gig Sandisk. I have not had any problems reading from the card or deleting files from the card, I have not tried writing anything to it yet. I am fully stock no root.
I have SanDisk 64GB formatted as exfat. I experienced no mounting issue, though I need to apply a fix for resolving the writing issue of some 3rd party apps.

So just recently, when I go to Spotify, sometims it says:
No SD Card Found
We found no place to store our data, please check that you have a working SD card and free space.
So first of all I do have an SD Card... 64gb. Second of all, a reboot always fixes this. Third of all, I thought Spotify doesn't save music to the SD card anyway without installing an old version before they got rid of the ability to store music on the sd card (something that's annoyed me about the app for a while but it is what it is and I'd rather keep my apps up to date than toy around with old versions of apps).
So, any thoughts?
I really would hate to think that the SD card is the problem for 2 reasons... 1) a 64gb sd card isn't exactly cheap. and 2) I've had roughly the same problem or a similar problem with EVERY SINGLE SD CARD IVE EVER HAD IN AN ANDROID PHONE. I don't drop my phone. i don't do weird stuff with it. I just put the card in the day i get the phone and leave it there and every single time for the last 4 years of being an Android user, I've had various sd card issues after some amount of time... Never this particular issue... But some kind of problem associated with the sd card. Used to be that installing apps to sd caused problems (i don't do that anymore). then it was data on the sd card not being accessible. Then it was some other stuff. Now it's this.
So anyway... any thoughts?
thanks!
Are you running a custom Rom? With the 64GB cards, the S3 can be a bit finicky. It's usually a formatting issue, especially if it's on a non touchwiz Rom. But most likely it's formatted as exFat. Try reformatting to fat32 and see if that helps.

no, i'm not rooted... but thank you i'll look into that to see if it's formatted exFat.
Well.....If your running stock, it should read the exFat format just fine. Still can have odd behaviour though so I'd still try fat32. Just saying that exFat should work for you. Could be an app issue with it I guess. Let us know either way if that helps though.

I apologize if this thread is made too often. I've been searching around for a fix, however I can't seem to find anything.
I'm running Cyanogenmod on my GS3. I've had an 8GB SD card that I pulled over from my old Evo 4G that has served me well for years, however I figured it is about time I moved on after spending the last few months deleting apps and videos to make space for more. I purchased a Sandisk 64 GB SDXC card and am attempting to use it with my phone, however I get the dreaded "Damaged SD Card - Try reformatting" error.
Of note, the 8 GB SD card still works perfectly fine, so I don't believe it is a problem with the SD card slot or anything. In fact, this is the first time I've touched the slot since purchasing the phone a year or two ago.
I've tried many things that people have recommended to others from searching around, however nothing seems to have worked.
I've tried reformatting it with three different programs as well as running chkdsk on cmd.
I've tried letting the reformatting process on the phone, which is prompted to me when pressing the notification for the Damaged SD Card", run for 15 minutes and it continues to run with the message "Unmounting SD Card" (which is odd since the card isn't mounted in the first place).
I can read the card perfectly fine on my laptop through the card reader, however it does prompt me to format the card every time I switch it over from the phone to the laptop, saying something along the lines of it not being in a language the laptop can read. After formatting, I can view the card as a drive.
Does anyone happen to have a fix for this? I would really like to start using my new card.
From a quick Google search on your problem it seams that SanDisk and Samsung galaxy's don't play nice with each other due to a flaw in SanDisk cards you may want to contact SanDisk about the issue.

Did you format the SD Card to FAT32 before using it ?

The only options I'm given to format it is exFAT and NTFS. I have only tried exFAT.
EDIT: I searched around and found that Windows only allows you to format to FAT32 with 32 GB or less. I downloaded a Fat32Formatter program that let me bypass that, formatted the card, and it works perfectly now! Thank you so much!
Your welcome . Glad you got it sorted out.

I'm on rooted stock kk. SD card randomly unmounts and then remounts. I've seen this problem posted by others but could find a solution - was one ever found? Its only an issue for me when I'm using EZ Cast but its annoying.
I'm thinking of switching to CM11 - is there any advantage to it over the LG 4.4.2?
Thanks
--------------------------
Update: I unmounted and remounted the SD card through the LG storage settings menu (didn't physically remove it). Then went into TWRP and fixed permissions.
Worked for a while but then reverted.

I switched to Infected's CM11 and the problem is gone.
LOL @ a ported custom ROM being more stable than the official stock.

Try reformatting the card then copy the files (not all, only your personally created stuff) back. It seems some residual files generated from the old system caused the problem.
Lg's official recommendation is to factory reset.
After 14 hours, i have had 0... fingers crossed

If the problem is a slightly out of spec card this will seem to fix it for a while. My San Disk card was having problems and a reset helped for a while. Formatting also helps for a short while. Once I got a pro card from another brand I have not had a problem anymore. I am starting to believe that the lg tablet pushes SD Cards harder than my phone does and this may be the reason why it is having issues with cards that other devices have no problem with.
I am going to do some further tests to validate my new card is fine. However so far it has been error free
First time I played a movie from my SD card to my Chromecast, I got 3 unmounts in 1 min...
That would be a pretty good test
To make a long story short, I took some irreplaceable pictures today that disappeared.
I have my camera saving to my 64gb memory card. I took a few pictures and a couple of panoramas and they ended up showing up glitchy and useless.
They didn't appear in the gallery with the exception of a few images.
It looked odd.
I rebooted the phone and tried to go into the gallery and they just weren't there. The previews showed up momentarily and then they vanished.
Now when I try to take a photo to go to my external memory, it works fine. It didn't pre-reboot.
Is there a method of:
A: Recovering my lost 10-15 images.
B: Ensuring that this doesn't happen in the future.
For the record, my card seems to be working fine. Music on it loads up quickly as well as any other images that I loaded onto it. Files open and there is zero lag. I don't suspect that the card is corrupted or anything.
Thanks guys.

You could try something like Recuva: https://www.piriform.com/recuva
I successfully used that to restore files deleted from microSD cards a few years back.

I'm unfortunately on a Mac. Guess I'll boot into boot camp and install it and give it a go.
I hope the pictures actually existed as files though and not some cached object.
Update:
Overnight, the saving issue arose again. I'm forced to use internal storage when using my camera.
I've seen this problem before. So SD cards don't work well with Samsung devices. I bought a Samsung SD card and never seem this problem again. I recommend you do the same.

I wish I wasn't broke :/
I'm using a SanDisk 64gb. Guess I've gotta dig up some cash and get a Samsung.
I don't see how this is an issue though.
What is your card formatted in? My current is in exfat. I'm thinking the format may be an issue.
It may be a kitkat issue. Google "kitkat SD card write". Root users are using a fix that sets permissions so the sd card can be written to by all apps as expected.

Right before I came across your post, I found some info on the kitkat issue with sd cards. I'm guessing that's what's causing this problem. Odd because it's the default Samsung camera that's messing up.
Oh, how I miss root. I just hope we get root soon. I'm pretty close to selling this phone and hopping on Tmobile.
I had this problem happen with very VERY irreplaceable pictures, on my backpacking trip to china, one of the most irreplaceable pictures of my entire life was taken, appeared glitchy in gallery, phone reset and it was gone.
after taking out the SD card, and doing many deep scans to try and recover the deleted pictures, it seems the pictures arent there, which leads me to believe it somehow tried to save it in internal memory (which cant be mounted as a drive, so cannot be recovered).
if you can somehow flash an older version of android (like 2.xx) you can mount your phone as a drive, and then attempt to recover deleted data from your internal SD..
yeah all i can say is ,,|,, you samsung.
I too have the same problems as the OP. And I am on SAMSUNG micro SD card! Guess it is one of those first batch gremlins?
However, I think the problem has gone away after I switch on the image "preview" option. Give it a try.
I had the same issue with a 64gGB SanDisk micro SD card. The camera would seem as if it was taking pictures but nothing was actually saved; they just shows as corrupted files in the gallery. I lost countless irreplaceable images from our honeymoon because of this. Once I switched to a 32GB Samsung micro SD card I never had the issue again, also saving the pictures directly to the internal memory solved the problem. I use the SD card for music as well so it has to be something with the phone writing to the SD card. From what I've read it's a issue with the compatability with samsung and non samsung sd cards for some reason.

Never had this issue with any of my Samsung phones (S2, S4, and now the Note 4). I'm using a SanDisk Class 10 32GB. I'd recommend pulling the files off the SD and doing a format. Download the App SD Maid as well for routine maintenance on your SD. Good luck.
My 64GB SanDisk SD card was giving unexpected unmounted errors, so I picked up a Samsung 64GB SD card. The unexpected unmount errors went away, but now I have this problem. Pictures are not saving to the SD card correctly. Sometimes it says media not found. Others the preview/thumbnail looks fine but the full view is just grey.
I am going to try saving to internal memory and manually moving to the SD card as I run out of room.

Hello guys,
I just got my Moto G5 (3GB Version from Amazon) a few weeks ago and I am using an Micro SD-Card (SanDisk Ultra Android microSDXC 32GB) as internal storage.
My problem is: Over night the phone seems to "forget" about the sd-card and apps stop working. F.e.:
- Instagram (on the sd card) couldn't refresh the feed
- Whatsapp couldn't save pictures (on my sd card) anympre
- Twitter stopped working at all and just crashed
etc.
After reformatting the SD-card it worked for 2-3 weeks now, but now it is happening again.
Anyone has an idea what is the issue or experienced similiar issues? Maybe should I return the phone to get a new one?
Thanks!
SOLUTION IS IN POST 8 / POST 6
Take the sd card out then reinsert it
Then run this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.house.noranuko.mediarescanner
It will cause a few force closes when it's scanning - Just keep clicking on reopen app
I don't know if it will work as Iv never used sd card as internal storage - Most likely it's the sd card or the problem will be the firmware on the phone - The phone itself will be perfectly fine
That's why when I buy a phone it's always best to buy an 8gb minium ideally 16gb

I normally restart the phone and afterwards it works, but I need to put all my sd card apps on my home screen again, cause they are gone. I also turned of the phone and took the sd card out and put it in again. Has the same effect.

Rescans all folders & files on sd card
I find that if I restore backups change roms etc 3rd party apps can't read sd card contents of what was on the card although it can read and access anything that was put on there after the restore.
Same was true if connecting phone to laptop via USB - previous files/folders were not accessible
After scanning with the app everything was accessible again
still not working
Sadly the "SD-Card Scanning"-App didn't work out for me.
I found out, that the microSD-Card stops working after charging the phone for a longer period of time.
Therefore my question: Anyone else experience this problem with his MotoG5 ? Which Micro-SD-Cards are you using?
Thanks!

Hello!
I'm using my new SanDisk Ultra Plus 32GB MicroSD now since two days as an internal storage and my phone seems to work fine now.
There is no disconnection of the MicroSD during long charging and all my apps/data on the SD-card works fine. :good:
Thanks for the help. This thread can be closed!
Small update for people, who will read this thread:
- My Samsung Micro-SD card broke (not formattable or readable anymore)
- Other Micro-SD cards have the same problem decribed in this thread
- I finally send in my Moto G5 for repairment
- Currently waiting for it to come back
I guess there is something wrong with the hardware or firmware. Let's hope it will finally work flawlessly.
Wait, 3Go of memory? Wtf is that?
