Possible solution for those having sd card issues - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I thought I'd share my solution to fixing the sd card issues mainly with San disk cards that mount and unmount
I had a network branded phone (o2 uk) and it constantly mounted and unmounted especially will shuffling through my music
I really flashed my phone with a non brand firmware so it removes the ugly network logo on boot up
And so far I have not had a problem with the sd card mount and unmount issue.. I can shuffle through my music very fast without any issues..
Thought I'd share my solution maybe it might help you

My phone is unbranded but I have sd card issues.
I routinely (daily) get "sd card suddenly removed' or 'sd card ready to be unmounted'.

could micro sd card from orange uk be the source of my audio problems

hey all
I was wondering if the sd card that came from orange uk could be the problem why i keep getting interruptions while playing songs.
I also noticed that when I try to access the sd card on my pc, the sd card is not regonized. I also tried to read the sd card on my mac also it can't recognize it.
Please note that I installed the sd tune up utility, and still the interuptions in songs are there.
Can someone tell me how to fix that problem in detail, and why can't i access the sd card in any computer.
Do you think that if I buy a 8 gb micro sd from san disk would solve a problem

[Q] microSD card unexcpectedly unmounted

Hi,
I've a Desire HD with the 8GB microSD card that came within. Randomly I got a message something like "Sd card unexpectedly unmounted and I can't access the card. The only way to have it back again is rebooting the telephone with the option Fast Boot disabled.
Any clue about what this should be?
Regards,
I had a similar issue, although I never got the warning, well, it never actually unmounted.
I would try and take a photo and it would drop to the homescreen. I figured I had to unmount and remount the SD card
I did a factory reset to fix it. Maybe the same can help you?

I have had the same from time to time and figured it was due to low quality of the SD-card.
So I actually just switched a few moments ago for another SD-card i got laying around. This is a class 6 card though and a bit better than the class 2 samsung card that comes with the phone. We'll see how this will turn out. Hopefully its a bad microsd card and not the phone.
This solved it. Havent had any problems with the card unmounting since i changed the card.
I had this problem, even start a new thread...
This is due to some corrupt file inside the sdcard or even a bad sector.
Try to do a "chkdsk /f /r" on the sdcard...
Hi,
I've checked the original SD Card with chkdsk as sugested and everything seems OK.
Since then I've changed the original card with a 16GB Class4 Kingston card and the problem does not happen again.
Let's see......
Regards,
If I did only "chkdsk /f" it also reported that the sdcard was alright... but I still had problems...
I had to use "chkdsk /f /r" to discover that I had a bad sector...
Now, for a few days I still hadn't any problems...
Oh, this didn't happened with the stock 8GB card... it was another SD card that I already had.
Replacing the stock card did help.

Weired SD Card problem

Dear All.
I have searched the web for this problem but couldn't find a similar problem or a solution
My wife got a galxy S2 and I was trying to transfer to her some of the appz that I had on my SD card (.apk files) I installed the SD card in her phone and was able to access it under my files under external_sd card.
The phone got some problems and I had to format it to factory reset. Now the phone does not want to read the SD card at all.
I can't see the SD card on my phone and cant even see it when I plug the phone to the PC I only see the internal memory. I have tried another SD and still the same.
When I go to settings>>>storage
It says insert SD Card for mounting under mount SD card
Also forgot to mention that I reformatted my SD card FAT32 and still not working
Anyone have the same problem please help

SDcard write issues

Hello everyone! I'm having a weird problem with my sdcard:
For some reason, my phone normally can't write to the sdcard. I can temporarily fix this by unmounting and mounting the sdcard from the storage settings, but after an hour or so the card locks up again and becomes read-only.
My card is a Samsung EVO 64GB formatted with ExFAT, which I've verified to be genuine. My bootloader is still locked, and the phone's been acting this way since I got it.
Any idea why this is happening?
Try a new sd card to see if the symptoms continue if they do the phone has an issue otherwise the card and official cards can go bad or and act up.
Alright, so I tested it with a 16GB card (ExFAT) and I have no problems. I also tested the problematic card in my two laptops and it worked fine... strange.
I'm applying for an exchange of the sdcard. Hopefully Amazon won't give too much trouble.

SD Card showing Unsupported and Unmounting automatically on Android, fine in laptop

Hi,
My Sandisk Ultra 32GB microsd card is not getting mounted on my Moto X Play from yesterday on. It was working perfectly before that.
Problem in Detail: Yesterday when i tried to play some music only I realized that its not getting mounted. I tried removing the card and reinserting it. But it's not showing up any notification. When I went to 'Storage and USB' settings suddenly after reboot, its showing 'Unsupported' for a minute and is getting unmounted automatically.
Possible Cause: One of my friend connected my phone with USB cable to his laptop day before yesterday for transferring data. I dunno exactly whether its infected or he didn't eject it properly.
What all I Tried: Initially, I tried connecting it to my laptop using Card Reader. Fortunately, everything was fine inside the system. The file system FAT32, all the data it had, and no memory was unallocated. Afterwards I did a quick format and a complete format as well, with file system FAT32. Both didn't help anyway. Then I installed mini tool partition wizard. But haven't done anything with that yet.
Kindly help me with this ASAP.
Can you use your SD card with the phone ?I have the same problem - my sd card is not recognized by my MXP. There was some speculation that the SD card slot is not working properly or just damaged however all SD cards I have are working fine just nor with my phone.As of today there seems to be no fix to this bug.

I have tried this SD card in my friend's phone and it is working fine.
Afterwards, tried formatting the card from that phone, my laptop, (quick & complete with different names) and the tool "sd card formatter" (erased everytihng).
I even tried a factory reset of my phone.
Nothing helps. Really frustrated
try the slow format sd card option from pc...
