Originally I purchased a PNY 64G SD card for my Note 4 and noticed that my data would be lost when I rebooted my phone. This only happened when there was about 4.5G of data on the SD card. When I rebooted the phone, I would need to re-mount the card in order for it to be recognized. After reading through some other posts, I suspected it was the SD card since it's not a well known brand.
I then purchased a Samsung SD card and the same thing's happening. Any ideas?
Thx.
Hardware malfunction, return it under warranty for a new one.

So far i have been using the old sd card that came with my Arc S. Its been working fine but ive ran out of memory. So i bought a new 32gb MicroSD HC card. Its class 4. This one to be specific -
SanDisk 32GB Micro SD HC Memory Card
SDSDQM-032G-B35
I inserted my new sd (empty) into the phone. When the phone started, there was a Sh*t ton of lag. I basically couldnt do anything. You could say the sd card froze my phone. Is this normal ? keep in mind, the sd card was empty. I got scared and immediately removed the SD card. I put in my old sd card, it still lagged but i waited for about 30 minutes and it was just fine. Its been fine ever since. I have copied all the contents of my old sd card onto my pc and then onto my New SD card. I'm confused on whether to put it in or not. Will it harm my device? As far as i know, Arc S supports 32GB. My phone isnt rooted or anything. Just official Sony ICS if that helps in any way.
Thanks for the help guys.

Your phone stucked/froze after insertion of new empty microsd since your phone is basically looking for the previously installed applications and games when it started.
By copying all the contents of your old microsd to your new microsd before inserting this to your phone will prevent the freezing upon startup, although minor lagging will be encountered a few hours or so while some syncing is done.. I did it your way when I upgraded from 16GB Class 4 to 32GB Class 6 (although not all the files, i left out the videos/mp3s/dcim since i can copied them back later) and encountered no problem. So go on, insert your 32GB microsd already:laugh:
So I bought SanDisk 32GB Mobile Ultra Micro SD (SDHC) Card - Class 10 UHS-1 and everything was working fine until 3-4 days ago.
Now whenever I remove it (unmounting it manually first) and put it back in, the phone doesn't detect it. If I restart with the card in, it detects it. Also the card unmounts very often while in the phone, especially after waking it up from sleep.
I tried 2 other cards (8GB and 16GB) - no problem - I put them in and the phone instantly detects them.
The 32GB card is working just fine on my computer and on Galaxy S I9000. I even ran ChkFlsh.exe on in from my PC = no problem.
Then I restored a backup through CWM Recovery when everything was working fine = still doesn't detect it after remove/insert again. Only after a restart it will detect it. I tried different kernels too. It even shows Damaged SD Card now and then.
What is wrong?
Try to format ur sd card to fat32 format...... CWM not work well with exfat......
Sandisk cards have lifetime warranty
Found this thread - SD Card Unexpectedly Removed
It turns out there is some problem with some SanDisk cards so I'm returning mine and getting another one (Adata).
Hello. I've encrypted my sd card and have been dealing with occasional images and videos files being corrupt and not being able to be read. I have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC Card (Class 10/U1). I've formatted this card in the phone and is now formatted using the SD Formatter using my PC but with the same outcome. Would rooting this phone have anything to do with corrupt files or could it possibly be my SD Card? Or maybe perhaps the encryption method used by the phone is just not reliable?
Any help is much appreciated.
In the meantime, I've decrypted my phone so let's see if there are any reliability changes.
Update: I got a new replacement and have the same damn problem. I have turned off SD Card encryption and it has been good so far.
Could you please suggest something equivalent in the event my phone is lost or stolen? I have TrustGo installed and do believe it can wipe my phone but not the data on the SD card.
Hello
Just got my Samsung microsdsx uhs-1 pro 64gb in the mail today.
So far the card isn't working great.
I started to copy music over to it and then i suddenly unmounted and the phone said the card was corrupt and i had to reformat it.
After the format the the card worked for a few minutes then the phone says that the size is 0.00mb and windows says 128mb.
Is the card doa or is this a problem with the note2?
Edit: This is bought at full price at a Norwegian webshop.
Now the phone just says "blank SD card" "SD card is blank or has unsupported file system" and then it tells me to format witch fails.
Edit2: Windows shows the card as 26.5gb. This is probably because i don't have a card reader witch supports this card?
I would try and warranty it. It is possible you may have borked the card unmounting it while writing. Unlikely but possible. Otherwise all you can do is format it til it works, if it works again.

I din't unmout it while copying. The phone unmounted the card a few minutes after the copying was finished.
I still can't format it on the windows machine. I'm trying now with the sd card formater tool and sdxc card reader.
A new card is underway. They just told me to throw this one away. Didn't even want it back.
Try formatting in recovery like twrp

I had the same Problem with my Samsung 64GB Card.
Maybe you can try to format it with your recovery. But this didn't worked for me.
I had to send it to the Samsung Repair-Center and to wait one month until they sent me a new one.
i've tried everything possbile with this card and it didn't help. But since the shop just gave me a new one no questions asked, this is probably not the first time.
This card goes in the trash, awaiting new card.
Hi there.
I'm having problems with the SD card, is always unmounting with no apparent reason...
When I'm on the Album (or gallery) and I scroll trough the photos (I've got a few) the card is unmounted and I need to take it of, and put it back in...
While I'm copying files from the PC to the card (trough the phone) the same thing happens...
The card is a sandisk class 10 32Gb... it was used on my SGS2 and never had any problem...
Does it worth to buy another card, or someone else is having the same problems?
I think this is a problem with your sd card. I don't have any problem like that.
Can you please tell me what card do you have?
I have already formatted the card on the pc and on the phone, the result is the same...
Weird problem, I own a Goodram 32 GB Class 10 micro sd card and I haven't got any problems with it. You say that you have tried formatting the card. What format have you chosen? Have you tried reset to factory reset your device? Are you on some custom rom or the stock one? Do you have a possibility to check wheter the problem exists with other micro sd card? Perhaps you can borrow it from someone for a moment or you have another one somewhere. Worst case scenario the card port could be damaged.

I have a Kingston microSDHC 32GB, Class 4 :good:
Hi,
I'm sure that's an issue with your sd card. I've had the same issue with my old SGS3 and an SanDisk 64GB sd card. Then I bought a new Kingston 64GB sd card and it works.
I formated in FAT and in FAT32, same result in both.
Im in the stock ROM, totally unchanged.
I already get a new card and I'm testing it now, if it stills get me troubles I will try the factory reset.
Yeah... that is my fear... that the port is defective or something like that
Ok, updating from the previous post.
I've bought another SD Card and although that on the first time that I used it on the phone, it gave me the same behavior, after formatted it on the phone itself, so far so good.
I've tried the old SD Card with an adapter on the pc, and it works fine, no problem at all... so it must be something specific to the phone, I've read that some Samsung are a SD card eaters, so I believe that the problem is related to that (my previous phone was a SGS2).
Thank you all for the tips.

Not necessarily.
Card of class 4 may be good enough for your computer, specially if it is older too, but may be too weak for newest modern phone.

An SD card can't be 'too weak'
