My g2 has been acting weird since last night. A few of my apps got deleted and now my sd card is disconnecting on its own. I cannot view my sd card through my phone because it says unavailable and I get a message that my sd card has been removed and then my phone resets. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

I received the JI6 update today, and all went well with the installation, but for some reason my vibrant can't read my sd card or the phone storage. I never rooted it or put any lag fix or any hacking like that. Everything is stock, including the sd card. When I turn it on, it says "internal storage damaged", and then the message disappears shortly after. It also says "unable to mount external sd card" with a red triangle notification. When I press mount in the phone storage settings, it does nothing.
I have rebooted the phone many times, and nothing has worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first post, so I am not sure if this is in the right "category". Thanks in advance.

SD Card
Mine did the same thing. I had to reformat my SD card which totally erased everything on it. (8gig) Good thing I had it backed up however I did lose some stuff. After reformating it you should be good to go.
The main problem is the internal sd card (16gb). I went to the tmobile store yesterday and all they could say was that I should try doing a factory reset. Is there any way I could get some files (pictures, etc) from the internal (16gb) sd card?

hey everyone.
i've got a question regarding my sd card. i am on miui MCGv7.7 and the sd card just won't be detected. it doesn't pop up in the settings nor in any file explorer.
but, and this is strange for me, if i remove the sd card my sgs notifies me that an sd card was removed. this works also the other way around: it notifies me if i plug one in.
it is a sd card from sandisk and contains 16gb.
does anyone have any clues?
thanks folks,
klaus
No ideas?

ok, i solved it. you need to flash a froyo bootloader. i thought i already did this while i was flashing miui but obviously it changed somehow back to the gingerbread bootloader.
for the other poor people who have the same problem: i used this for changing the bootloaders:

same problem here, but i think it's a known issue. maybe something with the internal sdcard-control-chip.
Try to format and repartition the card or by a new one
Hey Guys,
I've got the Telus version of GS4 I337M and it is rooted running stock. I purchased a 64 GB Adata card (AUSDX64GUICL10-RA1) and loaded it up with about 40 gigs of music. The card was working fine but after I restarted the S4 I got a message saying "Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it." I reformatted it went loaded the music and got the same message after a restart. I thought this was strange so I tossed the card in my friends S3 and it worked fine. I then popped it back into the S4 and it started working again. However, after I restarted the phone I got the same message.
I returned the card and picked up a Patriot Memory 64 GB (PSF64GMCSDXC10) to replace it. After putting on 40 gigs of music, I restarted the phone and now I have the same message. I'm starting to think that it is not the cards but the phone. Has anyone else run into this issue and is there any fix? The only reason I got this phone was to use the SD card slot to store all my music.
Thanks!
same issue here. After a reboot, I got the message that the SD card was damaged. I didn't format it, but rebooted and didn't get the message. But do have some problems playing music from time to time. It just stops.
much as i hate to say it, thats 'normal' with GS3/GS4.
I had this issue on my S3. Its an issue with exFAT. Try force formating your SD to fat32. I bet this fixes your issue. Good luck!

This happens to me every time I reboot. If you just reboot again it will be gone. Annoying to have to reboot twice every time so I think I'm going to try to force format fat32 like the above user suggested.

have the problem on my S4 using 64gb. formatted with fat32 already from my pc + phone issue persists. girlfriends has no issue with a 32gb formatted in her S3
I've restarted multiple times but the issue persists. My only option right now is to not restart my phone which is very annoying. Does anyone know if this issue is happening just on stock or does it not matter the ROM?
same problem
I'm having the same problem on my AT&T rooted phone. The only fix I have discovered was unmounting my SD card prior to restarting my phone. I'm curious to see if anyone can find a better solution.

Re-mount SD Card
For me, rebooting takes to long so I have found two alternatives instead of rebooting. One you can physically take out the SD card and then re-insert it or you can go into the settings and then under storage hit mount and it will scan it for errors then work fine. This still does not solve the issue though and it quite annoying since I set a titanium backup pro backup to happen at night onto my SD card and in the morning it always said it has failed due to the damaged SD card error. I'm thinking about switching to a custom ROM just because of this and the volume warning. Any advice?
Have the same issue...I copy all my card contains to my pc , before formatting the sd card . Then I resend the contain back..never happen since
Do you guys have Google Play Music running (either actively or in the background)?
Happened to me daily when I had a Sandisk 64gb card. Returned it for a Samsung 64gb and I've only seen it once in about two months. I did have it formatted as exfat and just last week reformatted as fat32. I'm hoping that might fix the issue for good.
Btw, I never had to reboot when I got the message, just go into settings and click Mount SD card. Worked every time and I never lost any data.

Its funny that you ask. I've been struggling with the same issue of my phone randomly telling me that my SD card has either unexpectedly unmounted or is damaged. I lost all my data tonight (as far as I know at least- both the computer and the S4 want me to format it because it doesn't recognize the file system) and the last thing I was doing was playing a MP3 through Google Play. This file was located on the SD Card as well.
What was your reasoning?
Hello
About 12hrs ago, everything on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone was working perfectly fine.
I was using my camera to record a video when the playblack crashed and the phone suddenly did a restart. When the phone booted back up again, the phone could no longer read the SD Card. I did several restarts and took out the SD Card and put it back in again and still the phone refuses to see the SD Card.
I know the problem ISN'T the SD Card because when I put the SD card into an adapter and plug it into my computer, the computer can read and see everything on the card.
Any one else have this problem and know how to solve it?
My phone isn't rooted or hacked
Thanks!

-Go to setting/storage and check what is the status for the external SD. May be it is not mounted.
- second check if you get any other SD card to test the phone behavior with it.

I tried a 16G SD card and it connected perfectly.
is there an App which forces the phone to mount the SD Card?

Save your SD card content to your computer and reformat it direct from the phone. If it is successful revert back the data et voilà!
if not Ok it is something wrong with the memory card itself...
I have similar problem. Two days ago suddenly I got message SD card unexpected removed. That puzzled me because I didn't touch SD card at all. Turned phone off and on and seemed to be ok since yesterday. I had SD card removed message again and phone doesn't see any card anymore. I tried bunch of SD cards and no luck. Reset my phone, reinstalled firmware and still nothing. Opened even my phone check sim and SD card board connector.
All my SD card tested, formatted on PC. Any ideas?
