Hi,
my brand new s4, rotted with the stock rom, only reads the sd card.
Im not able to editing anything on it. The camera app let me choose
the sd card, but no photos will be saved and the saving place changes
to the internal memory as soon as I try to take a picture.
I used the sd card in my s3 and everything works fine...
Any idea?!
I got it. I dont know what happend before but I putted the card into win 7 and checked the filesystem for errors. Win 7 found some and fixed them, now its fine.

Hiya,
Was racing at the weekend and took several pics\vids while there, suddenly my video clip folder dissappeared and then the DCIM folder vanished also. Thought immed that the SD card was faulty but when I used a file recovery prog got everything back including the folder structure and the prog listed the data as deleted rather than corrupted.
Then used H2TestW to run multiple tests on the SD card which it has so far passed 10 times so a little confused as to if it's a card problem or a phone problem.
Has anyone else seen this happen before?
The card is a Kingston Class 10 16GB and the phone is running stock UK firmware.
Cheers,
Mike
SD Card Problem
Hi!
I have something similar to your problem. For unknown reason my Samsung i9000 Galaxy S has lost contact with my SD Card. The phone does not see the card. As a result, the camera does not work, since there is not enough memory. I have formatted the SD Card on my computer, but still there is no result. I am trying to read around about this problem, but quite helpless at the moment.
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.
Hi all,
I hope someone can help me.
A few days ago i removed my external SD Card *needed in my other phone*
Today i put the SD Card back in the transformer. Now i want to download a new rom (JB) but th browser says that there is no sd card. When i look into the settings / memory the internal storage shows not 16GB. It says 0Byte but the bar is totally green (apps).
I dont know why, i also cant make screenshots.
The strange thing is that when i go into recovery the backups and everything is there...
Do you have any ideas?
EDIT... Using Megatron!
Did you eject the SD card in software prior to removing? If so it can corrupt the file system.
Did your phone reformat the card to a non compatible format?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 which I recently upgraded to the official Lollipop 5.0.1 update. I also added a new Samsung 64 GB (Class 10) Micro SD Card. When I use the Micro SD Card in a card reader in Windows 8, I can easily add / delete files without any problems. When I use the Micro SD Card in the Samsung Galaxy S4, it works fine for a while, then suddenly files and folder automatically disappear or files become corrupt; photos clicked with the camera disappear instantly. I am not sure if the problem lies with the Micro SD Card, the phone, the OS or some app.
Please could someone help!
I would suggest to format the card in your phone (if not already done). And then try it again.

I found that you cannot even use the sd card as storage for apps with the 5.0.1 rom this is a issue for me as far as the sd card corrupting files im not sure i am using a 16 gig and i had to set everything manually to save to sd card or move it over myself such as the camera and downloads, but for apps not a chance

This is also the case on KitKat.

CM12 has the Move apps to sd feature.
Hello everyone, dire need of help here!
I got a new Micro SD card 64 GB Strontium for the phone and formatted it to use as Internal Memory - all previous phones I have been using SD card as portable storage, this is the first time I am using it as internal memory.
It worked fine for 2 days but suddenly yesterday all the photographs folders disappeared from the Gallery app (DCIM folder). I restarted the phone a couple of times but no luck - first some thumbnails disappeared, and then the entire folder!
Since this morning, the phone get restarted continuously, non-stop, while the SC card is inside the phone. If I remove the SD card, the phone works normally. So I am unable to use phone when SD card is inside - unable to copy all the files from the SD card onto a laptop even since the phone restarts before I can do anything on the connected laptop.
What do you think is the problem? How to resolve it?
How to recover all the pics and files on the SD card if I have to format it?

I would try to recover pics by mounting SD-CARD on PC. I've had SD-CARDs go bad a few times.
