That's very unfortunate (and really an unforgivable malfunction by Samsung, I think) because there is no way I've seen to regain the pictures. There are a dozen posts like yours on the different carriers individual forums stating exactly the same problem..with no solution. There's many different types of SD cards listed too so it's not the cards themselves, It's the phone doing it. The programs on the internet don't get them back and I believe the actual picture itself is probably corrupted as it's writing to the card. The same thing happened with the note3. There's another post on this forum with a guy who took pics of his SONS WEDDING and it was all lost. I hope I'm wrong, Disneyland is awesome

You are right. The pictures are corrupted. Even I am copying to PC. Its shame on Samsung.
damn, and here I went and bought the Samsung card because samsung phones always corrupt SanDisk... hopefully mine doesn't mess up. damn.

That sucks, glad I read this post because I saw a black friday deal on a 64gb and 128gb Samsung card but now I'll just stick to my crusty 4 year old SanDisk 16gb card it's still kicking so Hey....
quick fix for now
Just so you know if you tell the camera to write to phone memory it works fine, you have to then use the stock file manager to move them to card for storage.
I have a feeling it's a security knox thing, hope sammy fixes this soon.

No, it does not fix it.
I copied to my laptop, uploaded to the cloud (dropbox and google photos) hoping that the gallery app is corrupted but none work..
I should have used my words better, the files (pictures) you already took are most likely toast.
You just need to set camera to phone memory in the future to get NEW good pictures.
I have problem on my Samsung Evo sdcard 64gb, it is 100% working good on my Huawei P8 Lite but when I transferred it to my Lg G Pro 2, it says corrupted.
Fyi, i gently removed my sdcard then transferred it to my G Pro 2 then after that, it cannot read and says corrupted or unsupported file system, which is not true because G Pro 2 can support 64gb sdcard.
Pls advise how to fix this without reformatting.

So I'm not sure what exactly could of triggered this, but last night after a routine reboot, my S3 booted back up with a "damaged SD card" notification. I tried a number of different things but unfortunately it was a lost cause. Fortunately, the SD card itself is OK and just needed a reformat but obviously as a result I lost all my data.
I could really care less about my music or movies but I would have been devastated if I lost all my pictures. As is the case with many of you, my phone has been my primary camera for about 3 years (i'm no professional photographer so this serves all my needs). My SD card contained pictures of my baby nephews since their birth as well as other invaluable family moments, with about 1500+ pictures in all. Thankfully, I backed up everything to the auto upload feature to Dropbox a few months back
Just thought I'd share my story as a reminder to all of you. Back up your SD card! I'm sure there are many, many of you that would be crushed if you lost all your photos.
Same happened to me two days ago but i was lucky enough to recover files before i reformated it. Had a bad boot sector. Ur dropbox idea is a good one though!

I lost my 32GB SD card permanently a week ago. That's what I get for $12. Returned it for new one. There was no saving it.

Sorry to hear about your data loss. HOWEVER, there is hope!
1. I hope you still have the SD card untouched, meaning you did not format it again. Even if you did format it, there may still be hope.
2. Well I'm using a Mac, but I know there are a few good programs for data recovery for Windows as well. For me I used Data Rescue 3. It's freakin' fantastic and works extremely well. Very straight forward program.
3. So if you have a USB SD card reader or anything of that nature....plug it in your USB or Card Reader port and run the program.....
THERE IS HOPE! IT'S WORKED FOR ME 100% OF THE TIME....
Hope this helps

Ok i have searched the the forum and none seem to directly apply to my issue so ill post this and hope its not a repost. I have the 2014 edition and i picked up my tablet off the table yesterday and noticed some icons greyed out. I went into settings/storage and noticed the sd was not mounted which was odd so i clicked mount and nothing happened and i realized it said insert sd. I took the card out and put the card from my phone in and it didnt recognize that one either. I put the card from the tablet in my phone and it worked instantly. I have formatted the tablet installed the stock rom, installed cleanrom. Nothing seems to work. Obviously my warranty is void and as i can find no apparent way to untrip the knox counter (go to hell samsung with that stupid efuse crap) anyone have any other ideas to repair this thing. It has no been dropped or anything that i can recall nor water or anything of that nature it just decide to stop working i imagine. thanks in advance.

I have had three (name brand) go bad in the last 10 months or so. I now always get the replacement warranty with each one. The last one just before I got the Note was the first replaced by the warranty. Well worth the 4.99 for a year of replacement.

In almost all the cases it is NOT the tablet but the card.
Even if the card works in a phone but not your tablet does not mean that your tablet is defective.
I have a few questions for you that will help us to help you.
What brand is the card?
What class is the card?
Did you purchase it from a local retailer or Ebay?
Was it sold to you bulk or in a genuine retail package?
How old is the card?
What file system is the card formatted as?
Have you tried another card in your tablet?

I see...... You made this determination just because it works in your phone and not in the tablet or do you have a second SD card that you tested in the tablet and it did not work as well?

Actually i tested 3 different sd cards in a 32 gb an 8gb and a 2gb none of them worked but all worked in my samsung galaxy s3 and in my card reader in my laptop which says to me that it is the tablet itself not the sd cards
Just something I would do is flash stock rom with Odin and start over and see if that helps if you can't return it.Do you have jellybean or kit kat on it? I saw with a post so where and they were saying kit kat won't read the external ad cards.
This may be covered (I don't know what to look for) but I got a Verizon Note 4 (version 4.4.4) and I just came from my sons wedding where I took a lot of wonderful pictures. I had gotten a 64gig Samsung Pro sd card, and I saved them all to the card. Now, when I try to look at them, there is nothing but a lot of gray boxes with a gray mountain looking thing in the box with a gray exclamation point. I am so very sad. Can anyone tell me what happened to my pictures and if there is any way to get them from the card? I am obviously very desperate. Thank you for any help. :crying:
sounds like they're corrupted. maybe the SD card went kaput?

try to plug the phone into your pc and browse the card. or unmount the card and mount it again.

Or unmount the card and pull it out, then put it directly into a computer using the appropriate adapter(s)
If it did corrupt there are some data recovery programs available if you Google it.
I had problems like this with my Note 3 and my HTC One m8. The issue ended up being the no name 64GB card I was using. No matter how I formatted it or tried to access it, eventually the same thing always happened to my pictures. I went back to my 32GB Sandisk card and did not have any problems after that. I know this really doesnt help you situation but it may sorta explain why... I hope you are somehow able to get you pics recovered....
Thanks for the help but nothing worked. It was a Samsung Pro card that I got new off of ebay. All that was saved was maybe 4 thumbnail pics. I switched that card with the 64gig in my Note 10.1 and that card works fine in my phone. I'm just screwed with the pics.
I am still on Note 3 and just gave up on SD cards I prefer to use device memory. I have access to Class 10 cards 32GB and I have had more than 4 just go corrupt and I treat my phone like a baby...with great care.
I am pissed with SD cards getting corrupt out the blue. I can format it and works fine but at some point in time this happens. So I use internal memory and use cloud like services like Dropbox, etc to keep a backup going like "camera upload"
Hope you find a way get them back...

Chances are you got a counterfeit card.
Had the same thing happen to me. Now I save to the internal card, then export to my computer and the SD card.
Use dropbox auto camera backup and/or Picassa backup. This has saved me in the past, where SD card later gets corrupted. The pictures will still be available on the cloud.
Terry, send me an email to gilbert at kanvaskeepsakes dot com. I might be able to help you revover the lost photos.

If the card is seated securely and you are getting those errors sounds like a defective card.
Have you tried a low level format?
Have you tried other phones, devices?
If so do you get errors on those also?
Have you run any test on the card itself. Are you sure you are not mistaking issues with the new SD card permissions (or lack there of) for errors?
Those are some of the steps I suggest to figure out if the card is bad right out of the box, yes this happens a lot more than you think it does, or that card don't play nice with device this still happens even though it should not, or the card is on its way out. If nothing seems to be working try and get a replacement that should fix your issues and if it don't, don't buy that kind of card anymore

I have never had a issue with SanDisk but is the luck or unlucky of the draw[emoji1]
Formatting many times is no good for SD cards should really only format when you HAVE TO. There is really no need to format reformat... Usually after some time of using the card you can get back some lost performance by performing a low level format. But again really should only do that when you NEED to.
I have the Pro version (the Grey and more expensive one) Samsung card you have listed, I love it as far as performance and what not but I use it quite often for various devices not only in the N4, but for many people an expensive high capacity high performance card will be pretty much a waste (at least until root comes our way). Many people can survive on the devices memory alone, if I had to I totalaly could without any issues. Most things are streamed/synced/cloud and whatnot so there is no need to have a large amount of things stored on a SD specially when you take into consideration the new android sdcard permissions. Only system apps can even write to the card, no normal apps can.
This may change down the road hopefully, Google will be persuaded into changing that policy, or at least once we have root we can make our own rules.
Unfortunately Android has the stigma of being the "Least Secure Mobile OS" and I think Google is going to move in the direction trying to rectify this. That is going to be unfortunate for us I believe, because technically the statement that Android is the least secure of the mobile os's at this time is true. If the user knows nothing about computers, software, Linux and whatnot then yes this is true. But for many of the same reasons Android is considered vulnerable are the reasons the advanced user loves Android. Unfortunately I think many of these things are going to change and the advanced users will be stuck with solutions to problems we never had in the first place because the vast majority of people need there hand held in everything they do. LOL sorry about the rant but above that is my 2 cents of your card question.

I had the same problem with my Note4. I suspect this to be the cause of my recent problems with IndexService.
The last days I noticed an extreme batterydrainage. (50% in 4 hrs only cheching mail and reeding some ebook and newspaper) 44% usage by IndexService and 17% by screen.
At first i thought it was my Next UI . Deleted it . No changes.
Then I found out about similar issues on S5 and note 3 to be caused by corrupt pdf files. I deleted all documents, pictures, ... everything! Nothing changed.
i took out the SDcard. The same or even worse. Keeps the phone checking for SDcard when none installed?
So I reconnected the SDcard and formatted it again. STILL NO CHANGES.
Suggestions anyone?

no and i agree with you regarding your rant.. it's just sad there is no recognition for the hardcore base user group.
So i think i'm gonna bite the bullet and buy the pro... I've done some more research and it seems that specifically the Ultra 64gb sandisk card manufactured a year or later ago has a technical 'fault' according to sandisk. i don't care for another sandisk so i'm gonna just buy the pro...
although i feel exhaustd with sandisk.. there is a 64gb extreme sandisk microsd ...
how is the quality of the extreme cards compared to the samsung pro?

I had issues with my 64g SanDisk ultra when I got my note 4. Worked fine in my note 2 until I moved it to my note 4. Then I started to get the SD card unexpectedly removed, constantly remounting. Formatted it in the phone in the computer nothing worked. Couldn't even copy back the stuff that was on it. Purchased a PNY 4k compatible micro sd and it works great. I will never get another SanDisk.
Hello,
I have made some photos directly saved on my SD card. After a wile it is nomore posible to display them. I only get a grey square with an exclamation mark.
My SD Card is an PNY 256 GB High Performance Class 3 (normally 30 Mo/s).
Photos are no longer recognized by the different PC sofware and are no longer reparable.
Do somebody have the same problem?
I have seen this problem before, with kingston and sandisk cards, in your case most surely it is the same thing, try with another card to check
You could check with PNY if they offer some sort of recovery/check. If you see it as a drive on your PC you can run "checkdisk" for errors. Sometimes I use MiniTool Partition Wizard Free to run "surface test" on problematic SDs, though 256GB card will take a long time for that program to ping every cluster.
I have a samsung 64gb sd card and have no problems with mine I think its because of the 3 back the card up and put back on and see if happens I bought a 256gb of wish before got refund on it but the right speed to it was so slow and after a while it lost pictures and so on
I have tested the card with chkdsk and there is no problem!
Tested with H2testw an got a different answer; first the speed is not that given on the markin (appr. 10Mo/s instead of 30 Mo/s) and after 14,9 Go tested, it says that the rest is defective.
I surely got one of the "best quality" chineese copy.

I've noticed that I get corrupted pictures on SD card only after a few days of passing through an airport. I am led to believe that it's due to the X-Ray scanning they do which could damage some sectors of the SD card. If you want to continue to use SD, I'd recommend spending the extra bit to get a genuine card that is hardened against X-Ray/other scanning methods.
I've personally moved on to cloud backups; currently using my Office 365 subscription that gives me 1TB of OneDrive storage. Also allows for 5 other users each with their own access to the Office suite and 1TB of OneDrive storage each.
Hope that helps!
Make sure your card is authentic.. on internet you find many scam SD cards cheap and their memory is not what your device tells you. It looks like it records but after a while it deletes previous files like older photos... because its real memory is like for example 1GB instead of 64...
Buy them premium on trusted shops (careful with amazon for example).
Corrupted card. Highly unlikely the card is bad.
Corrupted cards will however behave like this.
Do a low level format with a PC apk designed to do this like Lexar's. It will tell you if any unremappable sectors exist and remap them if doable.
Do Not use Windows to low level format.
Do Not switch cards between devices particularly cams without formatting first in cam before using. Switching cards with data on them can corrupt them.
Same may apply to phones...
Make sure contacts are clean. Never touch with fingers.
ALWAYS protect cards from ESD; if you can feel a static discharge it's already enough to fry SD cards and sims.
The pesky grey thumbnails, yep I got that also, it started around the same time as when these threads were created using other Samsung mobile devices. coincidence? I think not. My SD Card is Samsung bought from Samsung website direct so no chance of fake.

There can only be one folder on the Android who's name has DCIM in it. If there's more than one it will cause mayhem... on the SD card if you copy images from the internal memory DCIM folder rename the new folder something different!

I should clarify, those greyed out thumbnails were visible before and location wasn't changed on the SD card. Only things that changed were inserting the same SD card into another device.

Yeah that's generally not a good idea. It can corrupt the card especially if the two devices are writing to it. Had it happen to me before with Canon cams; you don't share a card unless you cam format it first. Not sure of the exact cause only how to prevent it.
That hasn't happen with my N10+ twins, yet, maybe because they're the same model. Something I need to keep in mind...

Good point.
That maybe it; I recently accidentally did a swap without a dismount without incident but did power the phone off first.
OTG has spoiled me
I need to be more careful...
Generally it's best to leave the SD card in place and do everything through the phone instead.
On Canon cams there's no dismount option I believe, plug and play.

Got the Note 10 plus today. Pretty impressed, almost like new condition coming from Samsung, all plastic films intact on sides and front back etc. Even the imei is etched in the back glass. Definitely a new frame and oledpanel used during the their refurbished process. However to nit pick one small area of the back glass edge to frame gap is bigger near the camera lens side. That was me inspecting it with a light and magnification lol.
The OLED panel is crisp and uniform. Very pleased so far.

Yay! In time for the weekend.
What's it loaded with? 12?
A new AMOLED panel is great news!
Not sure what the gap is; it should be sealed with a custom cut double side adhesive seal. Should be uniform. I'll take a look at my copies closer next week...
I got a 1tb Sandisk Extreme on the way from B&H Photo, $189 total. Beware there seems to be some counterfeits being sold at half price... that's how you tell.
Lol, funest, best running old phone I ever had

Don't get mad bro, it came with android 11 and I upgraded it to 12. The imei shows manufacturer date of April 2022.
Just finished doing some adb disabling and removal of leeching apps. Runs nice and cool and battery even out of box didn't drain 1 percent every on min

Now, now... you can tell me all about the big bad Android 12 latter. Anyway learning new curse words helps to develop one's character...
It's not a ☠big deal☠ as you probably can roll it back to 11 if needed.
Those skulls mean nothing...
Just browsing my SD card and similar. Occured a while back before Note 10.
