Facing issues with SD card for past few days. No files gets saved to SD card by download. Unmounting the SD card resolves downloading issues for a few minutes and I can download pics and videos and watch them but if I try to access it later then I get 'Can't play...' and no file errors.
Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully someone can help. my EVO rebooted this morning and when it came back, it can not find any of the programs that were moved to the SD card. they are all there as I can read ALL the files if I take the SD card and put it into my PC. I just copied the files off, reformatted the SD card and put everything back. HOWEVER, it still doesnt see the apps on the SD card. how can I fix this?
Thanks ...

Hey everyone,
I have a stock non-rooted Sprint version Galaxy S3 with Jellybean. I installed a 32 GB SD Card and it worked fine for the longest time. Today I realized that when I take pictures it will not save to the SD Card. The card is recognized by the phone, it reports the correct size, and I can see the contents but I cannot write to the card any longer.
I unmounted the card, uninstalled and reinstalled the card, and restarted the phone, but no matter what I do I can't save anything to it. I downloaded an SD card testing app and it said I didn't have permission to write to the card. Has anyone heard of this issue before? I am going to try to use the Kies Air app to move all of the contents of the card to my PC and reformat it to see if that helps. Thanks to anyone who might know what's going on.

Have you tried already manually adding stuff to the card via transfering files from Internal to ExtSDCard?
Have you set up your camera settings to save picture / recordings to external SD card or
try testing to create new file / folders within the card?
I have a Desire HD which is running Randomblame's JellyTime 4.2 R6.1 and I have been getting the "damaged SD card" message. The original card eventually failed to format either on phone or via computer and I was unable to access anything on the card.
I bought a new card ( A SanDisk Ultra 16Gb Class 10) and all was fine for a few days and then I started to get the same message again. I took the card out and was able to access the contents via the computer,I re formatted it then re-loaded the files onto the card and put it back into the phone. This morning when I woke up I couldn't access the SD card and again I have the same "damaged SD card" message. I have taken the card out of the phone. I can see the files via computer but I am a bit loathed to re-insert the card into the phone in case it damages it.
I always switch off the phone, eject on the computer etc when installing/uninstalling the SD card.
Has anyone else had this problem, if so can someone help sort it out.
Sorry if this problem has come up before. I did try the search but found nothing akin to my problem and I can't use Randomeblame's JellyTime thread as I haven't enough posts.
Any help/pointers would be much appreciated
Many thanks

Anyone else experiencing problems with their micro sd cards? I have a 32 Gb class 10 micro sd card installed and it shows that I only have 200 mb of available space on my external card. The card is empty so how is this possible? Any ideas??

Did ya format it with phone
Most likely an issue with your card not the phone. I definitely haven't had an issues nor have I heard of any
Something similar is happening to my sd card
I am experiencing something similar, i first noticed when trying to copy a zip file to the sd card to install a rom and the zip file didnt show up.
My problem is that i am not able to copy anything to the sd card or delete anything from the sd card. I am however able to copy files from my the sd card to the computer. I have tried formatting it from an android phone,pc,cmd but after the format is done i have the exact same files that were on the sd card. Its strange because after formatiing on my pc it shows the sd card as empty but once i disconnect and re-connect the sd card all the files are somehow back on to the sd card and are not corrputed or anything because i can still play music and view images?
Got a 64Gb card in mine with no problems at all. Shows the same space as it did on my Note 3.

Had the exact same problem with my son's sd card on another phone about a month ago. After too many hours trying different things, I ended up having to throw it out.
It turns out that it's because of the new Android 4.4 update. Google has decided to do away with ability to give permission to write on our sd cards and it is creating quite the uproar everywhere. For those of you that haven't yet encountered these issues, that's only because you aren't running latest Android OS. They mentioned that there might be a fix in the next version of Android Lollipop. But for now, we are left with only one other alternative and that is to root our devices and allow permissions to write to sd cards.
