[Q] Could galaxy tab 2 actually damage sd card? - Galaxy Tab 2 General

I know this might sounds crazy or stupid, but this is the second card I've used in tab 2 that suddenly stop working. I can't even format it with a pc because my pc never even recognized it. I've been using this 2nd card for months and it's just dead this morning.

My sensation fried a card once. Was a SanDisk too . It happens.

Dunno, but i think something is wrong. Sometimes when i turn on my tab, it says the sd is not ready and i need to go to config and manually "install" it

Weird sd card issue

I have 2 batteries... Seido and the stock battery... I was in a hurry to go out so I switched batteries... I tried to use my camera and it said sd card error... I restarted and removed it.. Put it back in... Still error..
I swap back to my seido battery and now it works fine.. Any ideas?

That IS weird. After backing up your card onto your pc, you might try formatting the card on the DI with the stock battery in and see what happens.
it seems to been a freak issue... I switched my camera storage to internal... the only thing I was mad I was losing was my pictures I took... now its been fine ever since... my sd card is kinda old... I had it in my omnia but figured I only need it to store stuff from apps that require an sd card... would maybe picking up a newer sd card help? only like a 4gb would be plenty for me... I only use 500mb of my 2 gig card as of now
Have you formatted it on the DI?
I have been just clicking the sd card in and out every time I swap batteries... I forgot last night to do it and it didn't work... So just take the extra 1/2 second when swapping the battery to click the sd card...

Anyone noticing this problem with their slide?

So my g/f just got her slide today, and as we were playing with it throughout the day, we noticed that after a while, the phone would no longer recognize that it had a SD card installed... we'd have to pop the back off, pop out the SD card, then put it back again for the phone to recognize it again. However, after a while, the phone would once again say that the SD card is not connected...
Is this a problem with this specific phone, or is anyone else also experiencing this problem as well?

By any chance was it wiping your phone everytime it did that?
I had that problem with the mytouch 1.2 but not with this yet. I've heard using a class 4 or 6 sd card fixes it but I never tried it.

Nah the phone and all the info in the card seems fine, its just that the phone can't seem to find the card once in a while until you take out then put back the SD card :/
take the phone back and swap it for another one at the store. You could also try getting another SD card. You most likely just have a bad SD card. It happens. I would swap the phone first cause its free (since you already paid for it) and would without a doubt tell you exactly what is wrong.
Sounds like a defect I had my slide since may and this never happened take it back and replace it immediately
Ok replaced the phone this afternoon.. problem seems to be solved thanks for the replies all!

Samsung GT doesn't wake up from sleep mode. Needs restart.

Is it just me out had anyone noticed that the Samsung p6800 goes into sleep mode, but doesn't wake on pressing the power button. I had to restart it again. Any solution to this problem is greatly awaited with sincere thanks.

Do you by any chance use an external micro sd card, I was having the problem at least once a day until I formatted my sd card in the tablet (you must format it using the format option in settings).
I copied all my music & books back to the card using my laptop still.
Been a week now not one problem since.

And just how did you go about that manuver??
Hook up your 6800 via USB??
or pull your formatted micro card and insert it into the laptop then move files??
.... so....With or without the 6800??
Thanks alot for your kind reply...
Yes I do use a 32 GB external sd card. Will format the card and let you know. Hope it works.

I copied it all back without the tablet, I just used my microSD to SD adapter in my laptop. Still no problems as well (got the idea from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529262)
I guess it just did not like the original format, I have seen many stranger things in 30 odd years of using and fixing computers.
Update: 28/3: It's back (twice in the last 2 days) and I am back to the drawing board, going to try a different MicroSD (my old lexar 16GB maybe)
I backed up all my datas from my extremal as card and formatted the card in the device itself...ie from the galaxy tab settings. If the tab is not connected to the computer, then there is no problem. I needed to restart it once while it was connected to my laptop, when it failed to wake up. Other than that I haven't seem any issues. Beats me why connecting to the laptop causes this problem.

Yes.. thank you.. I copied all my sh*t too to a folder on the laptop..
Then put the card back into the 6800 and formatted it twice....
Then the card back to the laptop and copied all back...
re-insterted the card in the 6800..
had to re-set all ringtones..
AND, now we'll see if some of the oddities that im experiencing will sort themselves out..
Thanks for this tip...
Still having the problem even after formatting the external SD card. It goes to sleep and doesn't wake up. Not everytime though. What could be causing this problem? Where are the experts? Need some help.

As suggested by another forum member, I tried the app "Auto Airplane Mode" (by DON) which has completely sorted my sleep of death issues. I tried reformatting my 32GB SD but it made no difference. The app worked like a charm.
So I guess the problem is with my Transscend 32 GB class 4 SD card. I removed it and the sleep of death issue was no more. Formatted my card again in the device now. Let's see if the problem still persists...

The bad news is you may have a bad quality sd card.
Try another card.
It worked for me.

Yeah that's possible
thanks......
Since I changed my card to a better quality card the phone was more stable.
The other card triggered battery drains and camera crashes and then it had the unmount problem before the card eventual failed.
New one solved all problems.

phone will not start up after reset

hi I am useing 4.3 Stock(ish)v03 and then once I put all my programs on the memory card insted of the phone memory as soon as I restart my phone it is locked up on the boot animation screen and it will sit there for 20min just getting hot but not doing anything else. this also happened on a full stock roms too from here as well. if I hold down the power botton and reset it some time it will finaly make it back in to android but not to often it sometimes will go in to safe mode android as well. I know its not th e phone becuase this is the second phone to do the same thing. does anyone know whats going on hear.
Sounds like a bad SD card. Remove your SD card and see if it boots. You may need to format the card or replace it.
