Basically when I restart my phone, I get a pop up that says my Sd card is damaged but when I go to settings and mount it, it works fine until I do another reboot. The one annoying thing that happens is it wipes anything that was saved from my phone like DCIM picture and music etc but everything else is still there(that I saved from my pc).
Any idea what's causing it?

What phone and which vendors SD card?
Didn't I see that Sandisk has a bad batch recently of 32 GB cards?
Also have you tried reformatting?

It's a HC 64gb card running on SGS4 phone. I've tried reformatting off my pc and phone but to no avail. It worked fine on my Note 2

Do you have another card to try? Since its a new device and it worked on your old phone you need to rule out the phone as the issue.

I guess it's one of those annoying things. I'll get a new Sd card, might be the easiest solution

If you mean when it ask if you want to erase card. No because it was fine for a couple hours. The phone not reading the card. When I try to take pictures. It says insert sd card.

Are you sure the SD card is all the way in? Or if you plug it into the computer will it read it?

Hi guys and girls
I hope someone can help, I have just got a galaxy s4 and just purchased a 64gb sd card, ive converted the sd card to fat32 but whenever I put photos on the sd card they wont show, it just shows a white icon like a broken face and if I put music on the card it plays a 3 second snippet then moves to next song.
If I place the photos and music on the internal memory it works fine
Ive persisted for 3 days and ive given up, please help me
Many thanks in advance
Steve

Reformat your sd card through com0uter place it in the device, reformat it using the device. I believe this should do the tr8ck

Thanks for the replies, ive tried that and still no use it seems to be saving photos ive taken but anything I download to sd through apps doesnt work, ive tried putting a music album on through kies and that didn't work either, I just cant understand what is going on, never had this issue with the s1 or note so is it possibly an s4 issue?

I have a plane to upgrade my SD card from 16GB to 64GB. After few minutes working with Google I found out that so many peoples complain about problem of their s4 with SD card. S4 made SD card go to some places like hell. SanDisk is the most card name has a trouble.
Try downloading Media Scan from the playstore i think the images will appear on your gallery eventually.

As you increase the size of the sd card ...there are more memory issues popping up....I suggest you take the sd card and fix it to a different phone and see if the pics are readable....if they are not....its a problem with the sd card...so better check it out....if the pics are readable...try a different card on your s4...I myself use a 32gb Kingston sd card with life time warranty. ..just in case something like this would happen...so first isolate where the problem is...then it'll be easy to find a fix...good luck...hope this helps
Thanks for the advice, I will try a 32gb card that I have for a few days and try the 64gb in my archos tablet and see what results I get. Ill post my results asap, thanks again

So I've had this thing for about a week now and the growing list of complaints is still mounting. Now I have an issue where almost all my apps, only those on the sd card, need to be redownloaded. The icon for them is just the Android guy with a little sd card on the lower right of the icon. When I touch it it takes me to Google play and says it's not installed. Anyone experiencing the same? I have reinstalled a few and when I did it seems my info is still there. No idea why it happened.

Have you tried reformatting the sdcard with the phone (not with windows)?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Was going to until I noticed that when I reinstalled the apps my data was still there so I didn't want to risk losing all my data

Is the card mounted OK? - does it keep unmounting itself? Could be messing up the file system but not actually destroying data., which would indicate a card problem, tried testing the card also? - Try another SD card if you have one, or alternatively format it via the phone and lose the data, then redownload.
Mounting seems fine, actually unmounted and remounted a few times with same results. Haven't tried testing it, what's a good way to do so? I guess an idea would be to transfer app off card back to phone and reformat and see what happens.

My s5 is a completely stock UK model on Tesco/O2. It's had a couple of system updates.
I last did one a couple of days ago and now the phone won't recognise the sd card. It initially flashed the message "sd card unexpectedly removed" (or similar).
I've tried restarting, removing sd, restarting then putting card in. All to no avail.
The card works fine in my son's s4.
Any ideas please?

Have you backed up and reformatted card?
I'm having another problem, in that I can't get music to my SD card!
Have you got music on your external SD card?
No music. Got a few films and work pdfs.
I'm wondering if anybody else has any problems after recent updates

Just remembered something. When I tried to move a couple of movies to the sd using ESFILEEXPLOR it wouldn't let me. I managed to move them with the stock file explorer though.
I was reading another thread about compatible sd cards and it seems there are a few people with issues, mainly caused after transferring music to the card as opposed to leaving it in the system memory

I heard there were a few problems with this stock update and I was trying to avoid it because my phone was fine, no problems with really anything. It updated when I connected to WiFi... oops. Now it won't read my SD card and pretty much every time I unlock my phone, it tells me to check my back cover because it thinks it's not all the way attached. Realllyyyy annoying and I have no idea how to fix this.
Edit; I'm on an att s5
The warnings wont go away unfortunatly but had no sd card issue....if anything after update my screen was unresponsive till i pulled the battery
