Sd card - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my tmobile lgg3 and put in sd card I had in s5 it says I have none or doesnt support file system.Mine is exfat and I dont know if stock could only read fat32 but it doesnt recognize it on exfat.

Be careful, cause I put my SD card from my note 3 into the G3 and it corrupted my card... I had to reformat the card and lost everything...

I would transfer the data off the card onto a pc....format the card..try it and if okay then transfer it all back to be safe. Sd cards can be finicky to say the least

I'm using the card that I bought when I purchased a Motorola droid x back in 2010. I've swapped it to every phone I've owned since. Never had a single issue. Guess I'm just lucky.

I used the SD card from my M8 and I couldn't back anything up to it with Titanium Backup. It kept telling me insufficient storage. I downloaded this:

and it worked again.

Corrupt SD Card - Can someone HELP me PLEASE!!!!!

OK Guys, I think somehow my sd card became corrupt. Anyways to make a long story short, I CANT get ALL my VERY important files off this sd card to put on another!! Does anyone know how to get these files off this card. It just keeps hanging and sometimes I get a an Error 0x80070057. PLEASE HELP!!
How have u tried to get to your sdcard? Computer? File manager? Taken it out of your phone? Have u googled that error?

Ya Ive taken it out of the phone know and Ive googled that error but its not really giving me any answers pertaining to this.
im pretty sure there is no way to recover that card...
0x80070057 looks like one of the memory banks is fouled up...
i know it stinks but, sd cards do fail sometimes, just like RAM in computers and hard drives...
Long story short, always make backups.

Thanks to EarlyMon.
Get a card reader for your comp. After a boot loop mine said it was corrupted and needed to be formatted. Plugged it into my MAC using my girls Moment. Said it was corrupted also but I took it out and put it back in while in usb mode and copied everything to my computer then formatted.

One more question, if I reformat this SD card can it be used again?. Or is it garbage and just don't use it?

Software upate

My unit is GT-N7105. I discover that About device -> Update states that Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available. What does it mean as it is a brand new unit and bought it yesterday? How can I update the future firmware? Thanks
Did you rooted your device? If so then that is the reason.
You can still download the updates from sammobile. Com and flash it via odin...
Fired From My FireDevice
No, I did not do and I bought it from electrcal shop with Samsung seal.
I had the same thing, what I realised is that the ext sd card that I put into the phone still had all the files from my s3 on it including super su etc. I removed the sd card and status went back to unmodified and I could do ota updates. Dunno if that's the case for you.

I can confirm I have the same problem with my note 2. It seems it is because of the memory card. I had a bRand new SanDisk 64Gb one and one day I had the same message. Unfortunately I formated my phone and my card just to find out it was because of the card. I don't know why it does that but I'm sure it is the card. May be more people should try and check and report?

I did use my mSD card of my SGS2 on this new unit. Once I removed it, it changes to Normal Status. How can I use a mSD card on Note 2? Do I need to format it by Note 2?
Does Rooting block access to OTA updates if the official ROM isn't changed?

I tried to format my 4 GB Sandisk mSD card to FAT32 file system but the problem persists. That is to say I cannot use the mSD socket so far.

Note 3 booting issues

everytime I poweroff my phone it takes about a good 10 min to finally turn on , itll keep going from lockscreen to Tmobile 4g lte screen, is there something Im doing wrong
Not sure what kind of response you are expecting.
You have provided no info about your device, what status it is in, if you rooted, changed roms, did some modification etc...
How can anyone comment on your issue without any info other than to say that is not normal behavior.
Sorry, well it's a Tmobile Note 3, rooted and no roms, I have some apps transfered to my SD card, and that's about it really

So... did you try moving the apps back and see if that fixed the problem? There could be issues with that plus the phone does have a lot of internal storage.

10 minutes? How many apps do you have installed? I use Go Task Manager and remove as many boot apps from start-up as possible. Speeds things up.
Try removing your sd card. If that fixes it I recommend backing up the card, reformat it on the phone then restore your data

External SD Card Isue

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

Hi Tonylee,
I have tried wiping the cache from the recovery.. And since M on UNROOTED STOCK ROM, I dont have or atleast cant find the Dalvik cache cleaning option and frankly I dont wanna wipr the phone completely as faar as possible though that WILL BE my final option.

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:

Memory card

Has anyone ever soft or hard bricked your phone.(LG G3) Then realize your memory card isn't recognized by your phone..even after trying a different card.
Update: flashed Paranoid android 6.0.1 and my external card was recognized. Don't ask me how or why..but it works. Just glad it wasn't a hardware issue.

Yes - This is currently the only issue I am having with my newly acquired LS990.
I have had to go through various custom ROMS before settling with FULMICS stable, awesome ROM.
In the FULMICS TWEAKS app there is even an option under 'advanced' to 'fix internal/external sd card' but still my phone does not read the external sd.
I have tried slow reformatting the card in a pc with various different formats and even tried another card - still no luck here.
I am wondering if it could be something to do with the internal partitions or folder structures of the phone...?
I acquired this phone 'newly boxed' and soon found out that it must have 'fallen off a truck' somewhere as it had a patched official ROM to make it work globally, and then it bricked shortly after that.
I've spent hours on xda tweaking my phone and finally getting it to work quite well.
If anyone has any info on this SD CARD issue, please do tell!
Cheers and thanks xda!
