the have sent me 3 so far
I'm thinking your SD card is faulty, and you are making them send you new phones for nothing.
Or there is something physically wrong with the SD card, that is damaging the card tray on the phone when you insert it.
Either way, 3 different phones, same SD card, same problem. Card is probably the cause.

problem with memory card, card is unreadable

Ok so i bought a new 32GB card to use with my new GS4. First it started giving problems where it would sometmes tell me that the card wasn't mounted. then after a while it stopped working altogether. the card is totally unreadable now and i haven't been able to recover the data with any app so far. it kills me to think that i'm going to have to just take a loss on all the pics i had and just format the card. Anybody else having this problem?
What ROM are u running? There are issues with running wicked and messing up your SD card

I had a problem with a card where it wouldnt stay mounted and after formatting it it still wouldn't. I was able to back everything up when I put the card into my computer. SanDisk gave me a new card and its all good now. Try putting it on a computer and see if you can back it up

There a threads on this & how to fix corrupted cards back to working condition.
But here's what I do.
Open cmd & type chkdsk /r /f <drive_letter>

hmm.. cuz my sandisk 32 stopped working in my note 2, and wont work on my s4 but works fine in my bothers phone. put a 16gb in my s4 and it works fine.
No, my card is definitely fried. I can't even format it. Format hangs and crashes my pc

Did the Tmobile employee break my sim tray

My sim card doesn't pop out when pushing forward on the card, so doesn't have that spring to it. I noticed the kid selling me the phone was trying to put the sim card where the memory card goes. I have to use tweezers to remove the card, this can't be right.

Mine doesn't pop out either neither does sd card. I guess that's the way these are built. Not like the note 2

They redid it to make it tighter.less chance of sim or sd moving
TWEAKED 2.5
Yeah, when putting in my sim and sd card, I didn't notice any spring load thing. It just simply slid in.

Its stupid if you ask me . i had to use a push pin to get mine out
That makes no sense, it's difficult to get the sim card out.

This. I never have to take the sim card out of my phone unless I buy a new phone. Since I'm not fortunate enough to buy a new phone every week, then the sim isn't much of a concern.
However, I am a little bummed about the SD card slot not being spring loaded. I do take that out every so often to transfer transfer things to it. Maybe the USB 3.0 connection will help with that. It might make up for the fact that MTP is so slow.

I thought I was the only one! my sim card just wouldn't come out and the only way I could get it out was to use a threading needle to nudge it out slightly, then slightly "stab" and pull it out. I thought I had a defective device and it only bothered me knowing that if I were to ever sell it, I would have a defective feature to list.
I never take my aim out anyways

It was the same thing with the Note 2. A pencil eraser will side it right out.

It's actually for replacing the S-Pen tip, but if it also helps you take out the SIM card then that's just an added bonus

[Q] I lost sim card tray...

I've done some considerable searching and can't locate a vendor that sells the sim card tray for the M8. Does anyone know of a vendor? I lost my sim card tray so my phone is basically useless right now.

Get a new SIM from tmobile, it'll be free and it fixed my issue... So far
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
Have a like new sgh-m919 running the kit kat 4.4.2 and it was giving me this same error. I ordered the sim micro attachment AND got a new sim. Problem still persisted after sim replacement. Talked to TMOBILE and they sent new phone (probably refurbished) for 20 bucks. In fact, just got it. Not happy hearing this is the os and not the hardware.

Mines kept doing that too. I had tmobile send me another sim and that did not fix. They had to send me another S4. It has not done it since. Now I am having an issue with apps working after doing a recovery.
