[Q] Strange problem with 32 gb card

Ok, so I'm going crazy now, but I just can't figure out what's wrong with my card.
I bought a new 32 gb card. I know, I know, you're gonna say it's a fake card, but it's not. I tested it with H2testw and it fill up the card with 32GB of random data.
So, here's what's happening.
1. The card came formatted, I just swapped it with the old card and the Tab recognized it without problems.
2. I took it out and copied backed up files from the old card onto it.
3. When I put back the card into the tab, only a few folders were visible and other data that was copied and visible via the card reader was no where to be seen on the tab.
4. Then I took it out and tried repeating the process - same thing.
5. I tried quick formatting the card through the PC, and tried everything once again. Now the results were different, but again not all folders were copied.
6. I tried formatting through the Tab. The format went fine. Then I tried copying files through the USB cable (mass storage option). That also went ok, but a few of the files could not be opened. Scanned it with disk check and automatic fix error option.
7. Back to PC, did a full format with a Panasonic sd card formatter. Ran H2testw. No problems. Put the card back, re-rooted the tab (since I started suspecting it could be somehow related to this).
8. The card is back in the Tab, but it's still showing some strange behavior, such as folders dissapearing or files not being readable.
Anyone have any idea what to do? I would also like to note that the card works fine when in my reader, I can copy files to it, open them directly from the card etc. No problems at all. But as soon as I put it in the tab it goes crazy.
P.s. The tab is rooted, firmware is out-of-the-box. I have app2sd, but I didn't put any of the apps on the old card, and all apps work normally with or without the sdcard.

I dunno. Bad card? Or maybe just incompatible with the Tab?

just wait android 2.3 to fix this program

the card is fake,
i had this a while ago, i could copy files over fine and the files showed in the file structure in windows explorer. BUT if i restarted the computer loads of the files went missing, i then found out the 32gb card was in actual fact an 8gb card but some trickery makes it look as if you have copied 32gb over. the best way to test it is to copy over say 25 films at 1gb each, see it copy over, restart your computer and then see how many are left after the restart, you will then see how big your card actually is!! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but i hope you can send your card back and get a full refund.
I have tried a genuine 32gb card from expansys which works correctly in my galaxy tab (JM6 firmware) and my x10i.

AFAIK only Sandisk and Kingston make 32GB microSD cards now.
I got my Kingston 32GB card from Newegg and it works great in my Tab.
Where did you buy your card?
I would not dare to buy SD card from eBay or from a store that has no good return policy.

XWKE7 SD card issue

I have had the phone for about 3 weeks now, and updated to XWKE7 (stock) two days ago. This morning some apps/widgets were crashing, so I rebooted the phone. On media scan, I got this error.
Data encryption
Failed to mount SD card. Reinsert or format SD card
I haven't got another SD card or SD card reader on me at the moment, but has anyone seen anything like this? Could it be the firmware or a junk SD card? (32GB kingson class 4)

Looks like your sdcard maybe dying. Never seen the data encryption notice before either. Did you use some kind of encryption on your card?

Try doing a regular (not quick) format in Windows.

is this one of those cheap sd cards from ebay? How much you pay for it and where it come from?

I plugged it into windows, it displayed the "scan for errors" window, i did that, and all the files are found. Ill see if i can get away with not formatting it. I have tried other SD cards and they work (8GB though)

I got this SD card from clove. It is interesting because their website only has SANDISK 32GB micros (www.clove.co.uk/memory), but i got a KINGSTON and was charged the SANDISK price.
After the last boot, i went to task manager, and the only app that has run (at boot) is EncryptApp, cant see information online about what that does either.

Okay, I plugged it back into windows, and did a full check and repair, took about 30 minutes and now it works again. Seems odd that the card worked for 3 weeks, with heavy usage and dies just with the new firmware. Like it didn't unmount properly or something.

[Q] SD card doesn't work after reboot

Hey guys,
I've searched for a while but can't find a solution for my problem..
After flashing XBmod-Yuki rom V 2.00 everything works fine (also with older NoDo-roms) but when I change the region&language settings into something different, there's either a restart loop or a storage card error.
I've tried several ways of flashing, including this way.
My SD card: Transcend 16GB class6. Btw, a 2GB Sandisk works like a charm..
Is there any help out there??
Kind regards...

It could just be the card, SD cards seem to play a huge part of wp7, there are many problems that can crop up, sometimes you might not see them until you fill up the card to a certain level or the moon is full just depends... Not an answer but a possibility

I think I had the same issue today, when I turned it on today, I had a SD Card problem. I pulled out the battery, re booted the phone, arrived in the main menu then.. it freezed! =/. I pulled out the battery, pulled out the SD Card and plugged it again and now it works fine!

Didn't work for me.
Unfortunately, everything's fine after a hardreset but with a reboot (manually or to make an update/flash a cab) there is this storage card error!!

before you do anything after a flash, sync with zune and dump a few hundred meg of music on it, my card is unstable until i do that.

HD2 does not recognize a brand new 8GB Sandisk.
Any help please - my phone does not seem to recognize any SD cards anymore since I installed WM7.
I even bought a brand new 8GB card, and the phone does not recognize it at all.
The 4GB SD card that used to work fine, is also not detected anymore, but that could be due to it being encrypted now _ although I formatted with the Panasonic SD format tool.

I put 4GB of music on it - no (positive) effect...

[Q] SD Card on S4 suddenly stopped working

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?

Nokia 5: SD Card as Internal Storage

Hi there,
I have installed SD Card in Nokia 5 and selected as "internal storage" and moved as many apps as possible in SD card. But when I tried to access SD Card through builtin file explorer "Files" and self installed "ASUS File Manager", the card is not visible. I have connected phone with laptop, it also do not show the card. It only show 16 GB of mobile storage. I am unable to copy any data in the card. Not even all the apps can be moved to card as well.
Is there any way, I can access SD Card for normal data storage and movement while SD Card is selected as Internal Storage. Any expertise please?

Hi bro,
Same thing for me, and I have made a Software Reset, so I lost the decryption key for SD, so my 16GB SanDisk SD card can't be shown on any devices or PC (Running Windows or Linux). My advice, is to format the SD as media device and move what you want.

Nokia definitely has a problem with this feature, I, tried to format my 32GB Transcend 300X card as internal and it stucked and rebooted itself, leaving me with an unusable card. I bought a new one and set it as a portable. Nokia recommends card with read speed above 80mb/s, so I got one with 95mb/s but you can still feel the lag sometimes...

Hi, My SD card on Nokia 5 suddenly stooped being recognized one day and all my apps and data was lost. I switched off the phone and reinserted the card, but no use. Then I took the card for recovery with a data recovery company. They called and told me that all they can see on my SD card is garbage and it could be encrypted or its logical drive could have completely been wiped. I had encrypted my phone but I haven't encrypted my card. Any pointers on what should I do next? The data is very precious to me and I need to recover it.
This is a SanDisk SD card 64 Gb, class 10 used with a Nokia 5 with Android 9 version

Same situation same SD Card here.
After throwing away the unusable card I am using a Trancsend 64GiB card as internal. The phone takes a whole lot of time to properly boot the SD Card after rebooting. Also sometimes the phone says SD Card as corrupted then everyone will choose to reboot but after rebooting the phone temporarily dies. No command, no charging animation (temporarily brick), I faced this twice. After an hour I plugged it to charger again then it showed up that it's still alive...
