Constantly getting sd card pop up saying click here to transfer files,
despite swiping it away,closing it down, it keeps reappearing every 20 minutes or so!
It seems a problem on some Samsung phones inc Note 10 Plus 5g, but despite trying
most things people have suggested on the net, i cant stop this buggy pop up !
Have even factory reset phone again, and sd card, both in phone, and on laptop
Any one got any solution for it, or have i got a faulty phone?
Card i'm using is a brand new, Integral 256GB Micro SD Card 4K Video Premium High Speed Memory Card SDXC Up to 100MB s Read Speed and 50MB s Write speed V30 UHS-I U3 Class 10
Thanks in advance for any help

Never heard of the brand of SD Card you're using.
My guess, since it's brand new, it's defective at best.
I'd return it for a refund & get a better known brand such as SanDisk or Samsung.
My guess is that you have a faulty SD card. I would return it if I were you or get a new one. Cheap SD cards malfunction often. I've been a victim myself. That's why I only buy reputable names from sources that will accept returns if damaged. I've lost precious memories due to this issue.

Thanks for replies, i actually reset phone and card again this morning
thought i fixed the fault, but after 2 hours it came back!
So back to Amazon ,and back to Samsung sd card! lol
Just put the card back into my old Note 8, just to see if it happens on that phone,
as Note 10 is a refurbished like new, and need to see if it the phone or card thats actually faulty,
otherwise retailer is gunna blame the card, and not their phone,and Amazon are going to blame the phone more than likely ! lol

A hard reset (OS reload) of the phone effectively addresses viruses, trojans and old OS loads but little else.
Many times the same settings issue remains to be toggled or triggered again.
Find and address the core issue directly.
•Clean card contacts with a tissue and 97% isopropyl alcohol.
•Do a low level format on card if this doesn't resolve the issue, replace the card.
This card works perfectly out of the box:

Integral are a good quality lower cost SD card supplier in UK
Not sure how to help the OP out but I have the same card and no issues.
Well i formated old Note 8 memory card
128GB Micro SD SDXC Samsung EVO Plus UHS-I U3 Card
Been in phone now for nearly a day, and no errors or notifications have popped up on my Note 10 Plus!
Obviously the phone didnt like something with this certain Integral card, as it worked back in my old Note 8 without any problem?
One of lifes mysteries, but now gone back to Amazon for my £28 refund, and hopefully no more hassle.

Do a low level format on the computer using a apk like Lexar's designed to do a low level format. Simply wiping the card isn't enough sometimes and without a low level format it will remain corrupted.
Sharing a card between two devices can cause card corruption, try to avoid doing so. Usually you can swap between two Androids but be very wary of swapping with other devices like cams etc. Do a full format in the new device to ensure compatibility and stability. Not doing this can result in corrupted card even if it may seem to be functional at first.
You can lose all the data on the card like this and even if you can recover it, it will be in bits and pieces... more or less a useless heap of disjointed data.

I did all the low level format, on both cards, but it still didnt stop the card playing up in my Note 10, and actually corrupting 2 pics,
so i wasnt going to risk that, just needed to make sure it wasnt the phone at fault, as it was only a few days old, but guess it was the card!
lets hope it goes ok from now on! lol

Sorry to hear that.
I've never blown out a ram stick or SD card.
Remember they can be destroyed by one ESD event; their data ports have limited ESD protection. It can happen instantly or fail weeks even years latter, multiple smaller ESD insults can cause accumulative damage over time as well.
•Never touch the contacts.
•Keep static charges low by keeping RH at 50% or higher in the room.
Lol no wool sweaters.
•Touch yourself to an earth ground to discharge any static buildup or use an ESD strap/mat to keep everything near the same potential.
A little extra care can avoid a lot of cursing latter on...

If you play with a good ESD meter you'll be amazed how much of charge you can build up on almost any nonconductor. Once the RH drops below 20% ESD becomes very problematic and widespread.
High G impacts ie dropping a chip onto concrete from 3 feet can also kill a chip.
ESD is what kills most of these cards and ram sticks though. If you can see, feel or hear static it's already enough to damage semiconductors. Punch a microscopic hole through an insulation layer only a couple microns thick (doesn't take much voltage to do that) and it's a done deal.
Their service life is tens of thousands of cycles so it's doubtful one will wear out prematurely if used with care. High cycle usage though can wear them out.
My oldest flash cards are 16 yo and still functional.
I've had multiple SanDisk cards fail and a PNY. I've had really good reliability with the Samsung EVO Plus and Select cards.
You can pick up a 512GB Samsung EVO Select from Amazon for under $80.

When you say "fail" what do you mean?
A low level format couldn't recover it?
Showed multiple bad sectors?
These cards can be corrupted fairly easily but can be completely salvaged with a low level format.
Without it they will be inaccessible and seem to be "dead". Even new cards can do this.

I mean as completely dead and unusable. It would not recognize the partition. Sandisk had released a bad batch of 128GBs a while back. They were unreadable on multiple devices.

May have been dead but a corrupted card will behave like this. A 3rd party PC low level formatting app can access these corrupted cards and repair their file structure.
Normal formatting tools like Windows one will do nothing if it even can register their presence at all.

When I mean dead, I mean DEAD. I was unable to do ANYTHING. The partition was not even readable. I used different tools like Recuva and EASUS and got nothing. I've been using SD cards for YEARS. I know how to fix them.

If the computer software can't read what's there you won't see any partition. Androids wuv to do that.
That doesn't mean it's dead... as long as you have a low level formatting tool that it shows up when connected it probably is salvageable. Make sure any needed Window drivers are loaded...
If you've had multiple failures it's time to reexamine what you're doing.
I have close to 2 dozen flash cards with some dating back 16 years and no unrecoverable failures. Data was lost but not the bloody card!

Hi all,
Happily listening to music with Core Player on the TP2 I received last Saturday and the phone lit up with a message from Core Player that it wanted to update my media library, following the removal of the SD Card.
Suffice to say, I was confused: no chance with the SD card hidden under the battery cover that it could have been loose and fallen out but checking through File Manager on the phone, the SD card can't be seen at all.
Put said card into an adapter and then card reader on my PC; it comes up to suggest there is no card inserted: put the same card via adapter into my digital camera and the camera refuses to even turn on with the card in.
It's a duff card I'm sure - bit peeved since it wasn't that old but meh: don't trust all eBay sellers selling 'genuine' SanDisk products I guess - however, whilst I await the arrival of a new one, could it be my TP2 that has damaged the card in some way? Has anyone else noted problems with the TP2 and higher capacity SD cards?
FlashROM based cards only have a certain number of writes. Same goes for SSDs. They should have a way to track number of writes to cards. I've had official Sandisk cards go bad on me within the first year too. Don't forget that static shocks from your clothes can actually damage the card. Also don't forget that your phone can corrupt your data if it's in the middle of a read/write op and you remove the card.

Thanks for your thoughts mate: it wasn't removed from the phone and the phone only had CorePlayer running on it at the time - so I don't think it was anything I'd done
I think I got duped by someone on eBay selling a 'Geninue' Sandisk card that perhaps wasn't - I've read here than Danetec are also quite good so I've ordered one of them directly: fingers crossed I have more luck with my second one!
I was more concerned with it possibly being my phone - I read a month or so back on the Diamond2 forum that 16GB cards didn't work so well with that phone and wondered if any forumites here had noted any issues with the TP2 and certain SD cards, thats all...
it happened to me last weekend, due to an automatic update of go news touch which went wrong.
no way to see or format the card on the ppc or my netbook. I had to go back home, put it into a usb adaptor, and finally format it with mu desktop pc. my little cer netbook couldn't detect it, and locked up each time I tried formatting it, even from cmd console. but on desktop with adaptor it went just fine.
hope you'll be able to resolve - my sandisk card was 20 days old, 65€ worth, and having it toasted isn't something I would wish to anyone

In this case, it's not even recognised - via a card reader, active sync or inside another device: this one I think is lost Meh, it's only money
Hi All
Paulplex, don't feel you are alone, this happened to me too with a genuine Sandisk 16gb card. It worked last thing at night, went to access it in the morning and it was dead - just 3 months old with no issues at all up to that point.
The solution was replace it as it would not recognise via a reader in the pc either - completely useless....
The cause? Who knows, i do suspect the TP 2 though as i had no issue with it on my old Dopod 838 pro for the first 2 months since new.
Cheers

So I woke up this morning, phone says SD card unplugged, please insert new...knowing that I obviously did not remove my external sd card I then proceed to check
Settings, Storage --> (nothing shows up)
Boot into recovery --> can't mount external SD card
plug it into PC --> nothing shows up
So now the question is, do I have a bad/dead micro SD card or else?
I am on CM10 which is updated nightly, that might have something to do with the SD card, I dont know.
Edit-- missed where you said you already tried directly from computer.
Might just be a dead card.
Unless it is just not being assigned a drive letter on the pc, the card is toast. If you are using windows you can got to the disk management snap in from the administrative tools and see if it is listed at all, if it doesn't show there it is fubar. Easiest way to get there is right click computer, manage, disk management. For linux or mac im sure there is a similar tool but i couldn't tell how to get there or use it.
Which recovery do you have? Same thing happened to me on 6.0.1.4 Touch. Computer still saw the card, so i pulled everything off the card, reformatted with the computer, then changed recovery. Phone saw it after that and no more problems since.

Thats just the nature of flash memory, eventually it does go bad and unlike mechanical drives which often give plenty of warning of impending failure flash rarely does. Granted 2 months is obviously not acceptable it could be just a freak thing or maybe just an inferior brand. It is also highly susceptible to static discharge, especially in a SD card type format where the pins are exposed. Although possible, i doubt a static shock happened inside the phone but it could have possibly been damaged and just took a while to completely fail.
I used this to format my 64gig chip

Get a new card...i would also check on any warranty offered by the manufacturer, that goes for OP too. Depending on the brand there may be a 1 year or even lifetime warranty, some of the lesser brands might not have a warranty at all. Although i haven't followed my own advice in this category as the last 2 16 GB micro SD's i've purchased have been fairly cheap class 10's, you more often than not get what you pay for. I would also recommend going for the class 10 cards, not only do they have the fastest transfer speeds (and maybe because of this) they seem to be more reliable then their slower cousins.

Although i've never had one of their SD's, Kingston is one of the top tier memory companies and carry lifetime warranties on most (if not all) of their products. At the very least i would expect a year.

In my experience SanDisk is considered a cheapo brand but they have been around long enough to have overcome that reputation. I would imagine they also have a warranty program although i can't speak from personal experience, definitely worth checking into.

I don't think SanDisk is a cheapo brand since they have been making great cards for a long time. They have a great warranty program. They will replace anything within a year for sure. I had one that you couldn't read the serial number on so they still replaced it.
SanDisk has a problem by being the most well known microsd, they are faked by chinese companies all the time and those fakes look just like the real ones. Therefore, you buy a fake, paying real prices, that looks real, and you blame SanDisk. I think that was what happened in my experience with a dead card, and they still replaced it.

You can't just format it from "My Computer". You will have to go into device manager and find it, then format it that way. Otherwise it will not work.

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

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?

And keep in mind i have gotten this ultra replaced before from sandisk to the same issue.. just gonna give up on sandisk altogether to be honest.. .i just don't know much about Samsung's cards.
these are my options in regards to getting another card..

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.
Same issue and now extreme battery drain by IndexService

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.
HTC 10 damaged my micro SD card. Did happen to anyone else?
I listened music form my phone on my way to work in the morning and then, on way back home firstly music didn't play, so I found that card is not recognized by the system even after restart. I have checked it later on two computers with 2 different adapters and no appliance can recognize the card. Branded 64 GB Lexar fast card. HTC wasn't restarted or so, wasn't even hot I kept in whole day in the pocket. I'm not sure what to do, I mean don't want to lose another memory card which I probably buy.
And maybe, by any chance, someone have any idea how to check memory card whether is completely dead?

It's more likely a short life span micro sd card, and this kind of suck always happen once a while.
Don't blame your phone unless other one or two micro sd cards also die in the first two weeks.
Hi, The reason I'm asking is to avoid the risk in the future. If it happens to anybody else I will rather buy some cheaper card.
That memory card was bought for GoPro so I use it for many other apliances without any problem and suddenly it broke with HTC 10. At least I noted it here for statistics.

...and if it had broken in one of your "many other appliances" it wouldn't have been broken by your HTC 10.
Cards fail. Cheap cards fail often.
Lesson, buy more than one card and don't recycle them from device to deice.
Another lesson, don't ever buy cheap cards.

lexar isn't usually horrible, but yeah sd cards fail. On the notes of sd cards dying my t3i must have killed my sandisk ultra 2, it couldn't have been the card that died.

The HTC 10 does appear to be finicky with microSD cards. My 128GB Sandisk that worked totally fine on a Galaxy S5 kept giving me problems on the HTC 10. I wonder if the phone is stressing the cards too much somehow (for instance if it is scanning the card too often for media files and you happen to have tons of media content on the card like in my case).
Thank guys for the reply,
I never broke before any memory card and that one was not cheap. Happily I can buy now double capacity and double speed for half of the price which I spend for the last one. I'm planning to buy Lexar 128GB. That card did work perfectly but only few days.
I'm having issues with my card as well. I purchased the SanDisk Ultra 200GB Micro SD from amazon. I put it straight into the phone and ran diagnostics on it to confirm it was a true SanDisk card and its read/write speeds which were in line with manufacturer's specs (88 read/ 14 write). Within the day it was having issues pulling images off the card. All the images saved directly to the card had a grey area or "box" over some portion of the photo that would correct after a few seconds leaving the full picture to view. The images could be sent with no problem but eventually they seemed to become corrupted. I figured it was the slow write speed causing the issue so I replaced it with a new Samsung ProPlus 128GB card (95 read/ 90 write) and the issue still persists. Not sure if anyone else is seeing anything similar.
if your looking for a new one, this one is great. very fast speeds 90mb write 95mb read. bit on the spendy side so hopefuly it was just the card failing and not the HTC 10 eating them
I haven't had any issues with 1000s of files on mine so far, crossing fingers
Same here, Kingston 128 GB micro SD worked fine on my s7 edge. Inserted the same card in my HTC 10 and it was readable for the first hour, after that the card was not recognised by the device. The card wasn't even recognised by my Mac and PC. I'm glad I had my photos backed up on google photos.
My 64gb kingston kicked the bucket in my HTC 10. Last weekend I woke my phone up and it said sd card unexpectedly removed. Card was not readable in any other device.
Got a Sandisk as a replacement as never had an issue with their cards in the past. The kingston only lasted 4 weeks, but I'm putting it down to just a faulty card.
If the sandisk dies too, then I'll be a bit concerned it could be the phone...
Im Using Lexar Pro SDCARD 128gb and havent had issues using it. The card was also formatted as adaptive.

So, there is two of us. There is one only connection - 64gb.
Where is Sherlock?

You're made me worry. I use SanDisk 200 Gb, it's kinda expensive one.
Worry for what?
I don't have any issues with my HTC10, but I broke a 64gb Sandsik in my Sony X10i, phone just got hot. Shut down, Card didn't work anymore. And another one SanDisk 128gb was in my Sony Z2 when I replaced the back plate somehow the MicroSD got broken.
The 64gb Card had a Lifetime Warranty and the 128gb a 10 year. Not sure how long my 200gb card is now. Think they reduced it to 3years or 5.
But yeah, went to their Homepage, registered the cards. Requested replacement, they sent someone here to pick them up, 5-9days later I got the new Cards via Mail
So yeah, always back Up your important stuff somewhere else and who cares if they fail. It's annoying Yes, but **** happens.
SD cards can fail in ANY device. I wouldn't go as far as saying it failed because of the device. Quality of the cards is what really dictates how soon failing can occur. A knockoff SanDisk failed in a few months while the real one has lasted years for me. I highly recommend SanDisk and Samsung SD cards because I have had no issues with their original products.
EBay and some Amazon sellers have tendencies to sell fake cards so beware.

I woke up this morning and my HTC 10 says that the micro card couldn't be recognized. Crap. Did a search and found this thread. The card is a Lexar 64gb card. I went to Walmart this afternoon and got a Samsung 128gb card. Hoping this card will last my long tern stress test. Ha!

been using this without any problem 128gb and prior to this i tried samsung evo + 128 and that worked fine....
but as the OP stated it is true that many users using diferent sd cards has been facing issues with htc 10.....
some has issues on some firmware, some on custom kernels, some on different formats so its wise to say that there is something beyond a faulty sd card itself.
in all the custom rom threads you could see sd card issues highlighted at one point or other by mutliple users including devs
I have the same issue, and now i remember this is the second one in my htc 10, first one a pny 128gb worked well for more than one year in my previos s5 and after a month in my htc it failed, i blame the sd card that day and decide to buy an 128gb lexar and today after 5 months it failed, or i have a very bad luck now or my htc is damaging my sd cards.
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.

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.

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
