Hi all!
I have been facing an issue lately, where my G3 (D855) suddenly decides to recognize my SD card (SanDisk 64GB) as "corrupted".
The card itself is fine, and is detected fine by other devices/computers.
I haven't found a permanent fix, though I have found something that works as a temporary solution:
I've mounted the SD card (external_sd) using TWRP recovery, connected my phone to my PC and saw the SD card mounted.
Then I rebooted back to Android - SD card suddenly works fine!!
Hopefully any of you facing the same FRUSTRATING issue can use this for now instead of blaming your just fine SD card.
This seems to be a rather big issue. I have the same issue and I've noticed a few others on different forums complaining.

Has this happened to anyone?
I am on GB. THe SD basically causes the phone to freeze when i try to access any of the settings. What are my options here? to reformat the card? i looked at the card on a laptop and the contents seemed ok. THe SD card is a sandisk Class 10 32GB card. I haven't installed any new apps for the past couple of weeks so i don't think this is a problem

I`d copy everything off the card to my hard drive , then reinsert the card into the phone and reformat it via the phone software , then let the phone set itself back up with the empty card and see if it works . But...that working around the issue (if it works) , the root cause I`d guess as a corrupted setting on the SD card . For the record , mine sometimes throws a stroppy (every couple of months) and says the card isnt there , the tried and tested turn off/on worked for me .
b/Have you copied any program across to the SD card ? I`d try copying them back to the phone
Hi,
I've got a problem after flashing CyanogenMod on my HTC Desire. It all works perfectly, accept for an error that occured, that my SD card is damaged. Frankly in recovery mode there is no problem, also in Explorer on my PC I can see the SD card without a problem.
Also I tried formatting the SD card in a card reader via my computer to FAT32. Again without succes...
I also tried using a different SD card (2gb instead of 8gb),which works perfectly too.
Has anyone any idea on what the cause of the problem is and what to do?

Where and when does the error occur?
i've got the same problem too
i've installed batdroid rom

i tried to format it on PC, it's the same problem
and i tried to format with my phone and bang.!! my SD card is absolutely damaged haha :laugh:
I recently bought my LG G4 and for the most part, I love it. I have run into a problem. When I insert my SD card and I use the phone's camera to take pictures the phone seems to become unable to read the SD card anymore. I wanted to see if the SD card was broken, so I put it in another phone and the phone seemed to work just fine. My computer seems to also be able to read the SD card. When I insert the SD card back into the G4, the G4 acknowledges the SD card was inserted, but won't let me access the partition (I think it's not being mounted properly or maybe the phone has problems with exFat partitions).
I've also tried formatting the SD card using the phone which results in a partition size 0.3 GB.
So far the only fix seems to be formatting it on my computer, but as soon as I use the camera, the SD card is messed up on the G4 again. Any ideas?
might aswell ask for a refund and get this one. i used this card on my g3 and g4, both phones see it fine with no issues

hope this helps
I have the same card as above and also have no problems.

I tried partitioning the card using the Fat32Formatter, but the phone was not able to recognize the fat32 partition. The phone wanted an exFat partition by the look of it. It also formatted the card to 0.3GB again.
The SD Card that I'm using is this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313375
Also, like I said, the card seems to be working on every other device that I've put it in since I've started having this problem on my G4.

Try filling the card up with data on a device that can read it. I've been reading that many of the larger cards are actually smaller cards that fake their size. When you try to write more data to it, it overwrites old but undeleted files.
Even some of the 128Gb cards T-Mobile sent out were counterfeit according to SanDisk. There's a thread on it in the G4 forums.
Turns out it really was the SD card. I inserted a new one into the phone and the new one seemed to work. I'm surprised that if the card was really corrupted that it worked in other devices (a Samsung Galaxy S4 and my laptop).
My SD card is always corrupted. I tried using different SD cards even i bought a brand new SD card and it is still giving me issues . I did a factory reset and still does the same. Anyone else with the same issue?
What's the capacity and speed of your SD card? How are you formatting the SD card? Do you use it preformatted or format using the phone? The reason I'm asking is it seems to me that Sony has set a too low timeout values for formatting and mounting the SD card. So if your card is very big or not fast enough, the phone would timeout too early when formatting and/or mounting the SD card on boot, thus causing it to be detected as corrupted. At least that is how it seems on my phone.
perhaps have reset your phone from previous backup ? if this is the problem already happened to me ,
They are both high speed cards 10 cards Toshiba and Samsung to be more specific. When i format them they seem to kinda work at the beginning i even managed to copy a video file but after a phone restart it gets corrupted .
MM updated through xperia companion here, seems to be working normally with the old microsd card
Hi Team,
I also have the same issue here, whenever I move applications to SD card (Samsung Class 10), the application stops working and I have to
reboot the phone to have it running again. Though it happens only... when phone is from Doze mode, turned on the screen with power button, and after turning on mobile data and run the app like COC or Viber it crashes. Now this happens only, if my application is in SD, if it's on the phone it's working fine.
Hello everyone.
I also have this problem. I have a Sandisk ultra (red and grey) 32gb class 10 sd card, and my M5 on 6.0 cannot format it at all, first it says it's corrupted and I have to fix it, then the format screen is stuck on 20% and after a while it says the card cannot be formatted. The card isn't counterfeit, and it worked flawlessly in my m4. It was replaced under warranty because I presumed it became faulty, and I still have the same problem. There is no problem with it on my PC. Also the phone freezes when the card is removed and I have to turn it off with a paperclip on the small "off" button.
You have sd card restrictions on 6.0, so you can use it for media, can't move apps... I've got Transcend sd card class 10, no problem at all.
I know about the SD card restrictions but my card was working fine in 5.1 for storing photos and videos taken by the camera applications . Now i have tested even more cards and they all have the same behavior. Even with an 4GB and 8 GB Toshiba cards and an old 2GB transcend card.
tonev, how are you formatting the card?
On the phone it self. Also tried to format it on my laptop , Same result. Sometimes it works fine and after i restart my phone it gets corrupted again
any news or fix here? seems we're stuck with this sd behavior? can't really move apps to sd card?

Is it correct to assume that you restart the phone only using the default power menu and not using any third party interface?
Another thing, it is not advisable to format the SD card using Window's Format function. It is possible to damage the SD card this way. The safest way to format an SD card in Windows is by downloading and using the SDFormatter utility. I don't know if formatting you card in Windows is what has caused your SD card to be corrupted, but it is something to be considered.
Yes i do restart the phone only by using the default power button. menu. And none of my cards are corrupted because they work fine on other devices. As i said before a brand new never used genuine samsung SD card does not work on the phone.
Hi,
Since recently i have the strange thing with my G3. When i insert an external SD card the phone reconige it. When any app wants to read it or write to it the card gets unmounted and directly back mounted. This happens with any app i use. As long as my phone is in standby (screen off) the cards remains mounted at all time because ther is no app using the SD card. But once I use my phone for example taking a picture bamm the card gets unmounted.
I tried everything from reformatting it in my laptop to rename the card to replace the sd card. I even tried another card but nothing happens.
I put my phone back to factory defaults but that does also no help.
Hardware issue?
thx
Im facing the same problem with my g3
I flashed it with tot file as well as kdz
Went from tz crash to kernel crash
Flashed again
Got the sd card slot changed still facing the issue.
Please help!
