Hello,
I use a Sandisk 8GB micro SDHC card in my Tattoo. The first problem is that the card is not always recognized. After a reboot it works mostly fine again. The second problem is that i lost sometimes all my data on the card without any reason, it is just gone in a moment, I have already formatted the card in my PC but without any success. It is also not possible to do a format in my Tattoo (not working). Any suggestions how to handle with this? Thanks a lot, Mark
try formating the card i have the same card and it works sharply.. (format twice. )
Oops
I was thinking about buying this card... But now I think I won't risk :\

I've had this problem with my 8gb sandisk card too, but with froyo NFinity - had to format it the first time, and it was fine for a couple of days, then yesterday it came up with "Preparing SD Card", then "SD Card safe to remove" then "SDcard blank or has unsupported filesystem" in the notifications blind. Never had anything other than a FAT partition, and when I try to fomat it (on the phone, in Windows, in Linux) I can't. :/ I think my 4gb card was fine, but a bit scared to check now!

I had the same problem with the same SD. Then I changed it for one of 4GB and then no more problems.

last month i got a sandisk ultra 64GB micro sd card for my galaxy s3 and it worked perfectly, now, i just got a galaxy s4 (octa core version). When i placed the card into it, it kept telling me that the card is damaged, or on other tries it would read the files in it, but never properly(music files would only play the first 10seconds, videos and pics wouldnt load properly). I tried formating it into exFAT, and fat32 and both didnt work. On exfat, the s4 would read it until there's more than 30GB of data on it, then it would bug. Anyway, my s3 still read it perfectly without any isues.
Im uaing now a 32GB card on my s4 and its working perfectly, but i want to make the 64GB one work obviously
any ideas?
Thank you

Have you try factory reset? It might solve this issue. If no, it's time to send back to service...
You could try formatting it on the phone itself...

Hi All,
I have a stock non rooted Note 3... Recently bought a 32GB class 10 micro sd for it... Whenever I change the storage for camera to sd card it clicks a picture with an error of unable to save to sd card switching back to device storage....
1) Why isnt it able to use the sd card for storage
2) I have formatted the card multiple time both via pc n phone
3) read abt read-permissions but didnt find much applicable info
What can i do about it as I can copy paste file via pc to micro sd successfully and the files reflect properly in the phone...

I have conducted these tests:
1) Used my 32 gb card on my old note 2 and camera is able to save pictures directly on it
2) Used my old 16 gb card on my new note 3 and camera is able to save pictures directly on it
Conclusion:
1) Note 3 is functioning properly with 16gb card but not the 32gb card
2) My 32gb card is fine as note 2 is able to write on it with no issues
There is a problem with Note 3 unable to write on a working 32 gb samsung class 10 micro sd...
Awaiting a solution..
Is your card anyway protected or something? I got 32gb class 10 card from Samsung and and it's working fine (If I remember right the card was some red/grey colour, bought it couple months ago and it worked as well in my old S2)

I have finally tried additional steps with no success:
1) bought a new samsung class 10 micro sd card --- not working in my phone
2) formatted the new card --- no change
3) used it in my friends note 3 and it worked fine
4) did a factory reset on my phone --- it worked for 2 mins and again started giving the error
what is the issue here???????
For what it's worth... Although I have a Note 2, after updating stock Android from 4.1.2 to 4.3, I recieved the same errror. You might also have 4.3, since 4.1.2 has not been delivered on the Note 3. Maybe an Android 4.3 issue, instead of a Note issue?
Solved. I checked my SD card: 2 corrupt files. After making a backup of the SD card, I performed a full format and placed all files back on the SD card. Camera now stores pics on SD card. Card clearly had an issue. Whether this has to do with android 4.3 or not, I don't know.

I just talked with Samsung support after a 64gb class 10 failed and a 32gb class 10....They told me that their phones dont support class 10 cards officially and that they are known to fail. They suggested that I ask the card manufacturer to replace the card with a lower class.....something about the way files get written...basically they know its an issue but dont have a time table for it to be resolved if it will be at all.
Can't write to Note 3 SD card
I have the same problem, I can only write to the SD card if I take it out of the phone and do it with my computer.
I purchased a Transcend 64GB card with the phone. The dealer exchanged the card after he satisified himself there was a problem.
I still have the same problem.
Can't write to the card, via any of the following (or get a partial write and failure with a corrupt file) USB, Kies, Airdroid, or file copy from internal to external card.
I have to take the card out of the phone and write to it with a PC, then I can read the files.
I'm beginning to think this is a manufacturers defect in the phone, I've seen a couple of other posts on this same subject. One was on the Sammy site.
I would like to solve this issue without having to submit my phone to Sammy under warranty and be without a phone for however long.

The only way i could fix it was to use a Samsung 64 GB Class 10 card... but that card as well is a little dicey to use as once my battery went low and the phone got switched off and corrupted the memory card... so i just use it for movie storage, no camera pics...

New Card only works a short while.... Then
When I had my Transcend 64GB card replaced, it was ok for a short time then it went back to the old problems. I can't write data to the card while it's in the phone only when written from a PC. If I save a file somehow from the phone (which usually fails) the file will be corrupted, such as a song or movie it will not play smoothly, or perhaps at all. Save it from the PC and it's ok.

Actually android 4.4.2 kitkat can't save anything to sdcard...except samsung's app, because i had this issue too
Can't write to SD Card on Note 3
I was having problems on JellyBean 4.3 with writing to SD card, got a new card and everything seemed ok for a little bit. Then issue returned. Upgraded to KitKat 4.4.2 and problem is worse if anything.
I have seen fixes for this issue if you are willing to root the phone and void warranty to fix it. I have 3 other rooted devices, I could root the Note 3 but it's brand new, I don't want to blow the warranty away.

The problem has been exist since note 2 that: Samsung phone generally doesn't like Sandisk Cards.
Friend of mine had a 32Gb SanDisk microSD on his Note 2. From time to time, the phone acts as the card ejected for no reason. After a few months of battle, it just couldn't be detected it any-more.
Solution? Get a Samsung SDCard instead.
I bought him an original Samsung SD card while I was in Hong Kong at April. 4 months have passed, so far, no problem.
His Sandisk has been sat in my mum's N7000 (Note 1) and worked like a charm. :fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately, it could also mean that the midcroSD port is toast. I would look at that first -- see if there's any dust or foreign material in there and gently clean it out if you find anything. Then borrow a friend's microSD and see if it works in your device.

Done that and its not mounting any card. In fact all cards are giving an error "Blank SD card or unsupported file system" and these cards are mounting and reading well on my wife's android.
Guess problem is software related, as card is getting detected but not reading/mounting properly. Any leads to any modules/files for solving ths ???

As you have said, it is software related, so you have some options:
- Reflash the rom, or factory reset
- Report the problem to the rom's creator for fixing
- Or try another rom/firmware.
Change the rom
Not the rom or any sd card. Has to do with Samsung not supporting up to date 3rd party app permissions. You need to root your phone, then use fixsd app. I'm in the exact same boat on galaxy note 3 w/stock rom 4.4.4 kitkat and kernel date of Aug 28th 2014. Once again, an attempts at copying, moving, writing to sd card, you will have the error.
Same Here - Any fix?
I just got a used Note 3 (N900 international) off EBay. I am having the exact same problem here. I have tried lots of different brands/sizes of microSD cards and none can be mounted. It is possible that the card slot is hosed. This is on Lollipop. Without this, the phone is not very useful to me. So any fixes? Thanks
BTW - all of the cards are formatted fat32 and work fine in Windows. I have tried allowing the phone to format the card when prompted. Seems that the format attempt fails too.
I just got a used note 3 and my SD card is doing the same thing except I don't get an error message it just says in my storage that there isn't an SD card and o have also tried 3 other ones all different size and brand. All of which have been in a few different phones and worked just fine. The one that's current in my SD card slot I had in a note 2 until I got this note 3 and it worked perfect. I looked it up and found that the note 3 not reading any SD card is a hardware issue and the only way to fix it is repair the SD card slot or replace the phone
Looks like I have the same issue than most of you guys !
I'm running Cyanogenmod 12.1 on my SM-900W8. I tryed original samsung OS , factory reset didn't change a thing.
I tryed 3 microSD, a samsung evo 64GB , a sandisk extreme 32GB and a verbatim 8GB.
All of them work very well il my laptop but since a week or two , my note 3 refuse to detect any of them. It was working for over a year , then some random message started to show up ( something like unexpected sd card removal ) and I completely lost it right after.
They are not detected in TWRP either.
I'm looking everywhere on the internet but I don't find any fix for this particular issue. The only thing I saw is some brand new simcard / sd tray that need to be soldered. If that's the way to go I'll find somebody who can do that but I need to know first !
My phone is showing blank sd card and it asks to format it. Nothing happens.
It all started when i removed sd card to insert sim card and when i booted my phone, this happened.
My phone is N9000 Exynos (Indian Firmware)
Things i tried doing -
Flashed Indian firmware using odin (Odin said pass but phone remained the same)
Flashed UAE Firmware(as it was originally bought from UAE)
Did a factory reset using settings
Did a factory reset using Stock Recovery.
Tried this SD Card in another phone
Tried this SD Card in PC using card reader
Used another SD Card in this phone
Update 1 : I installed CWM and tried to mount SD Card through it . When i go in mounts and formats and remove my sd card and put it back , recovery detects it but its unable to mount it. Its not even formatting saying "unable to mount" "idle-unmounted"
I have tried all this but nothing happened.Same error is being shown. Then i finally rooted the device thinking there might be a fix. Please try to help me fixing this problem as i store all my data in SD Card. See the photo below for referrence and also ive uploaded a video . Please watch it.View attachment 3029411

If the card (formatted as FAT32) is not visible on PC then the card is broken.
If the card is OK on PC but you have problems in the phone you need to test with another (good) card - if that is also not detected you have a problem with the phone (since you said the problem was also 100% stock ROM then it is not software, possibly some pins in the connector).

I have tried this card on pc . It works fine . I have tried another card on my phone and its not getting detected (same issue) also the same card works on pc too. Samsung service center said its not hardware issue but a software. and just because my phone is not bought from my country they refused to touch it without a condition that there is a possibility that phone might get bricked if they touch software and its fully my responsibility if it happens so.

Yes it works on another phone. Files are being read too.
I am facing the same problem on my N9005, inserted the sd card from my S4 in the N9005 and it shows up as blank, put it back in the S4 and it's working fine,
Tried a blank sd card and it shows up as blank and unsupported. When formatted the SD card still doesn't work, help :S

After a month of researching and **** i finally gave up and started living only on my internal storage. I have sacrificed my 15GB Media because of it. F*** this **** . I think even you should give up. :crying:
well I am going to try to update it, doesn't seem like it could be a hardware fault, haven't seen such a hardware fault ever. hopefully it will work. if it doesn't then will have to try something else
Well, update to XXUGNJ2, didn't help at all
What to do?

Hi there. I have a 9005 and no luck on making sd to work, already gave up, just living on 32 gb internal...
Iv had something like this happen once. use software to unpartition the whole thing and then reformat it to fat32 or exFAT. there might be a problem with it not being a logical drive. does computer management pick it up when u plug it into the computer?
