Hi,
I've recently purchased a SanDisk Class 10 32GB SD card for my SAMSUNG S4 i9500.
I have transferred some images and music from old SD card to new one and everything worked perfectly, just until one point when the device just unmounts the SD card and all files seems unaccessible, mounting it again and reinserting the card fixed the problem but it keeps unmounting suddenly, then at one point everything was moved to LOST.DIR. I have formatted the Card to FAT32 on PC then format it again using phone, but still same problem occurring, only now it shows that SD space is being used, still when browsed through on phone, it shows no data at all.
Does i9500 NOT support Class 10, or something wrong with SD card, any body had such experience?

It does support Class 10 cards, I've been using a 64GB Lexar one for about 5 months now with no issues whatsoever.

I am also using Scandisk 32GB Class 10 sdcard but don't have any problems. Why not you try factory resetting the phone or upgrading the firmware. Best of luck...:good:

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.
Guys please help me. I have wierd problem with corruption of external sd card. Its a 16gb transcend class4 microsd. Every 2-3 days i got corrupted files which are moved to lost.dir folder. Files are not newly saved, files are there copied from pc and in a very good condition. After some time my i9000 moves randomly number files in lost.dir. If i rename files with extension (avi, mp3 or jpg) they can be normally played which mean that they are not corrupted. It is happening only with multimedia files. Android folder which contain system files on sdcard stays intact. Another thing is if i back my old 8gb kingston class 4 card everything work normal. I tried formating on phone, in windows, in partition wizaard, no matter what i try after some time problem occur.
Any solution?
the same problem here with my16gb sdcard but i didn't find a solution hope someone could do
i got back to my 8 gb sd card

I did have the same problems with a 16gb transcend class 6 card. Nothing helped.
Then i bought a 16GB class 10 Samsung SD card and since then, i have no problems.
do you have a sandisk card? i have a sandisk microsd ultra mobile 16 gb, and together with the platypus kernel it always f'ed up. now i have cm9 build 16 with devil kernel 1.1 and everything works flawlessly, no data loss. but more generally: ever since i left platypus, all is well.

Hi XDA,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE I9505. Sometimes, after I formatted my micro SD card to exFAT, about 2 to 3 days later the dreaded "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" error shows up in the status bar. It's kinda annoying to see that message as sometimes the phone will not remount the micro SD card at all. That's when I have to re-plug-in my micro SD card back into the SD card slot in my Mac using the micro SD card adapter that came with it. Then I have to go through the formatting process again.
Before that, I backup all my files that are stored on my micro SD card to my external hard drive via my Mac. Following which I format the card. The same problem surfaces again after 2 to 3 days, like I said in the first paragraph. Is there a permanent solution for me to solve this issue? I am planning to replace my micro SD card with a Samsung SDXC 32GB class 10.
Also, I would like to add in that, when the micro SD card is unexpectedly removed, sometimes that issue causes a "software glitch" with TouchWiz Home. After about 2 seconds the TouchWiz Home launcher refreshes itself (NO REBOOTING INVOLVED) and this happens until I power off the device. When I boot the phone again the problem is solved. However, 40% of the time the "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" pops up and if I'm lucky, the phone will automatically detect and remount the micro SD card within 10–30 seconds. Other times, I have no choice but to take the card out from my phone and re-format it.
I need my micro SD card to be in exFAT as some files I have stored in the card are larger than 4GB. Can an XDA expert help me with this issue?
(I do not want to perform a factory reset as that wastes a lot of time. I've tried that and the issue keeps on coming back.)
MANY THANKS! WILL CLICK ON THE "THANKS" BUTTON IF SOME XDA MEMBER IS ABLE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE! :good::good::good:
UPDATE: There are compatibility issues (I had) with the SanDisk Ultra 16GB Class 10 SDHC card.
There seems to be an issue with Samsung's latest phones (i.e. Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4) using SanDisk's micro SD cards. Every 4 hours or so, my Galaxy S4 would show an error in the notification bar, saying "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed", and then "Preparing SD Card" (or sometimes "Preparing SD Card" does not even show up!) I always had to plug the card in to the SD card slot of my Macbook Air using SanDisk's micro SD card adapter and re-format the card. I've tested both FAT32 and exFAT and both posed problems. I gave up on the micro SD card and decided to buy a new Samsung Plus 32GB SDHC UHS-1 class 10 card. No issues for now (I tested FAT32 so far for my new Samsung micro SD card, will test out exFAT). Will report if there's a problem again tomorrow.
My advice: for those who are having problems with their SanDisk micro SD cards, please switch to Samsung's very own Plus or Pro series of micro SDs.

I had this on my original s4 (i337) when using Touchwiz. I installed GPE on it and the problems went away. If I were a betting man, I'd point more towards TW than the SD card itself. I sold my i337 and am now on the i9505G and using thee exact same SD card with zero issues.

I had this same problem before, but after I rooted my phone and installed custom rom this problem is gone. I have the Sandisk 32gb and s4 I9505.
I have the same problem. I have an i9505 with Android 4.3 (which updated yesterday to I9505XXUEMK8 baseband). I've had the problem from new when it was on 4.2.x but thought it was the card (cheapo from HK). Now using a 64gb Samsung with same problems. Did it 3 times today and it's getting tiresome now.
It's still under warranty so I ponder whether to do this root thing and update to KitKat/or other PGe or wait for official KitKat or a fix. Or speak to Samsung for an idea.
The phone isn't locked to a network.
Anyone offer some advice?
Thanks
Mike

SanDisk 32GB Ultra card here.... I made a similar thread recently.. My issues where similar yet somewhat different... However I fixed it all by uninstalling DropBox updates and disabling the bloatware version with Root App Delete.... Sounds completley unrelated, I know, but seriously try it out, it worked for me, and others in another forum too...
Same problem with my San disk ultra 32gb, constant unexpected removed sd card error so my apps r useless most the time as I have most on there,
I've got a lot more issues with my s4 as I posted today I was thinking about ringing samsung up
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I know this thread is old but when I had the S4, my 64gb card would give me fits.
I used the sd card formatter from sdcard.org to do a full overwrite format. Then used the S4 to format the card after installation and voila. .... no more issues.
I got the idea from using that tool for the sd cards i use in my Raspberry Pi.
Hope that helps.

Can you teach me how? Ihave the same problem with my samsung s5 g900a
Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) Canadian model. I purchased a 128GB sd card and I'm running into some issues. My S5 can detect the card, and I can copy files to it. But it seems that one I hit roughly 8.08GB of used storage, anything more I add disappears after my phone reboots.
The card was formatted in FAT32 originally. I have tried exFAT but the phone is unable to read the card in this file format. I have also tried NTFS but same results as exFAT.
I have done some research and have seen others with issues regarding 64 and 128GB sd cards with Samsung Galaxy models, but no fix yet (or at least from what I've seen/read).
This card only seems to work in FAT32, but I am unable to use the full capacity of the 128GB sd card in FAT32.
I have a 32GB sd card that works just fine without issues. Not sure what file table the 32GB card is formatted in though as I did not know of this issue until recently when I discovered it so never bothered to check.
Is there a fix for this that I have not found yet? This is quite annoying.
Thanks
Probably a fake.
i dont have problem with Team MicroSD 64GB
you have to format it in your phone (ExFAT), use file explorer in your phone, do not format using PC

What sd card is this because it seems like it's a fake and may not really have all that storage. I've never had any problems with my 64 gb SanDisk micro sd card which I'm currently using.
try PC format

I downloaded the tool and just used the cleaner. I found problems and then I ran clean & fix and it seems to have solved the problem. Thank you very much.
