Yeah. Ever since the update that Samsung pushed out it has been giving me tons of issues. I just changed to another device. I'm tired of Samsung tbh

Ext sdcard corruption

So I don't know what's happening but I have a 32gb class 10 micro sd card. And once a week it just goes corrupt and my files are all corrupt. It's seriously getting on my nerves and I don't know what to do. I I've formatted it in the phone and in a pc and it doesn't matter it still happens.

They don't last forever. Have you used that card a lot?

Any ideas? It will just abruptly stop saving pictures to my ext sdcard and when I use root explorer to see why it has changed from read/write to read/only.

Sounds like the card may just be faulty?
I have had one incident with my current SD card recently where it wiped itself but fortunately it hasn't happened again. I have a 32 GB Class 10 also. I have read of other experiences with QC issues with lesser known brands like "Patriot" (my current) or "PNY". I think for my next one I'll spend the extra dough and go Samsung. I hear those are built like tanks

SanDisk are the best. I have a 64GB class 10 microSDXC UHS-1 in mine.

It could be the card itself. Why not try another card and see if it happens on other cards.

Never had issues with any cards till I got this phone.

Damnit! Not good news for me. I hate that the internal memory is all one partition. This is ridiculous.

SD Card Keeps Erasing

Hi guys, I have a fairly annoying issue at hand here.
I am a (semi) proud owner of the Koodo S2X, which was a huge upgrade from my LG Optimus One. The phone is great, but lately there have been alot of freezing issues where the phone would become unresponsive for a few minutes, except for the lock button, which would not actually lock the screen. But, and this is the second time its happened, it erased my SD card. I have a 3.75 gb card in it, which was once loaded up with stuff, and my phone decided to erase it after it froze. Then, just yesterday, it erased it after I synced some files to it from my laptop. Is there any record of this happening to anyone else, and any way of preventing it from happening again? The whole reason I have a memory card is to store stuff on it, but I can't for fear it will become deleted...thanks in advance, everyone.

I'd recommend trying another SD card. If your current one is corrupted or gone bad, it can cause all sorts of similar issues. Otherwise, I don't know, sorry.
Russian smashed across the interwebz from my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Please hit thanks if I helped.
Hmm, alright. I'll try another card for a while and see if the problem persists. Thanks alot for the reply! As simple as it was, I wouldn't have thought of that.

Also don't use a cheap no name SD card. And format it with ur phone then start using it before anything goes on it.

Are there any brands that you would recommend? I can't recall the one that's in my phone right now, and I'm at work so I can't stop to check...

Sd card problem solved

So I have had the sdcard problem for the last month or so, and think I have resolved it. Under settings, developer options, click on and check protect sdcard, reboot and the problem should be solved.

People were having sd card "removed " problems.
Emiliano, did you read that link I posted in the other thread ? Checking that box might make some apps FC.
Going to give this a shot. I saw the one about a loose connection also but was traveling for the holidays and hadn't had a chance to take my notes apart. Will report back on the results.

I resolved my sd card by using a card other than a sandisk 32g ultra. I went to a samsung card and now it works as it should.

Yeah predation, but tried it anyways, thanks.

So far no issues. I didn't want to spend more money on a Samsung card when I already had a perfectly good SanDisk. Now if you are buying a new card to use in your note, I skip the headache and don't get a SanDisk.

I was using power amp to listen to the music on my sdcard. When I unlocked the phone after about one hour it did the missing sdcard thing 1 time. Have not been able to reproduce since power amp was closed.

So the problem has slowly crept back in. The next step is to feed Samsung some more cash for a new sdcard. Almost as bad as Apple.

Maybe you should edit the title of the thread to indicate that the problem isn't solved...
I had this issue on my Samsung Epic 4g. I found it to be an issue with having too many apps running from the SD card.
I went through several sd cards, reformatted countless times, to no avail. Only after taking a bunch of apps off my card, and using primarily the internal memory of the phone did it finally stop doing the "sd unexpected removed" error. It has been almost 4 months of daily use without a single hiccup since.
Try it on your phone and hopefully it can resolve your particular problems.

I swapped my 32gb SanDisk ultra with my wife's 32gb Kensington class 4 yesterday. Like everyone else I have stopped having the problem. It does just seem to be the SanDisk ultra that has the problem with the note 2.

My sandisk 32g ultra gave me nothing but trouble and then it died. It is going back to Amazon. I suspect a bad batch of cards.

I got mine from Low Lat Plaza in Kuala Lumpur in September. It could be a bad batch. It is strange that it is only the 32gb ultra that is affected.
Looks like it is time to get a 64gb class 10. I was trying to wait till my next trip to Asia in June but now might have to bite the bullet sooner.
What kernels are you guys running? I had this problem last night after flashing a new kernel, I couldn't get my card(Sandisk 64gb class 10) to mount at all. As soon as I flashed back to Perseus it mounted just fine. Random thoughts, just something to check.

I'm having the same issue (SD card removed every couple hours, but not every time it goes to sleep) with a PNY 32gb card, FYI

Not registered to network

I need help guys, I was using my phone for only a week when all of a sudden I can't call or text or listen to my voice mail... instead I keep recieving "not registered to network" messages when i try and do anything involving data. When I go to my settings to enable data, its already on, but when I look for an available network, it turns off my data.. its like a never ending loop. Regardless of which I do first. My s4 is rooted but I doubt that could be the issue becauze it worked with my phone being rooted, anyone have any solution other than replacement?

Take a look to your apn and also make sure your IME has a # like 03 instead of just a 0 also check that on mobile networks make sure that the LTE/GSMA something lik that.. Is checked.. Make sure it has the LTE...
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Idk what you ment by the ime # not having an 03, but I checked and made sure everything else was in the right position and they are, but its still being stubborn

This could also be a bad SIM
Maybe, but why randomly stop working? Before this situation, my phone was sending me errors about how I couldnt wifi call due to an outdated sim card, so I went and got a new one, that didnt work.

And all you've done it root it? That's not going to cause your issue, and you have a new SIM. It's starting to look like bad hardware.
lagunas11 was asking you to verify your IMEI
Wait.. I think your right about the whole SIM deal, I switched to Family Mobile about a week ago and they dont really have new sim cards just the original big than micro, so im going to take a guess and say it is the sim

That's most likely what it is then. So they are giving customers cut down regular SIM cards? I'm lost...
Nah, when you purchase the SIM Card, its a big one but within side is a micro-sim, that you can pop out incase you desire one, but if you need the big one, you can easily pop the micro back into the big. Thanks for your help man, I guess im going, to be phoneless for a little

That always sucks... Try turning off data and setting the Network Mode to GSM/WCDMA auto, maybe you can at least txt and call...

My note 3 keeps freezing!

Hey everyone, so I jumped to the HTC m8 and I hated it! Paid the restocking fee and got the note 3 again and my phone lags really bad. I have to either restart my phone or turn the screen off and on. I have until Tuesday before my 14 days are up and was wondering if rooting it and flashing a rom would fix the lag or should I exchange it?
Edit. Sorry I meant to post this in the Q&A section.

Rooting it and installing a custom rom/kernel always helps as you can debloat whatever apps you don't use with titanium backup pro, root explorer,trickster mod etc. I don't see how even with 3gb ram this phone lags, but not every phone is the same I suppose.

When I had my first note 3 I rooted that thing as soon as I bought it! I've been holding off with this phone just in case something was wrong with it. I ended up doing a factory reset and everything seems fine now. I'm wondering if an app or game wasn't playing nice with my phone.

So I think I figured out what's wrong with my phone. I was looking online and read that some people were having the same problem I am. Turns out it was the sd card. I took my sd card out and have been playing with my phone for the past hour now with no freezing!

Glad you sorted it, what brand and class was it? I've had lower class cards make my LG G2X & E4GT lag before.

I spoke too soon.... I had the sd card out all day and when I was browsing the Web my phone became unresponsive and I had to turn the screen off and on at least 5 times until I could actually use it. looks like I'll be going to t-mobile to exchange it before my 14 days are up.
