Droid X SD Card not reading

Well i bought a Droid X yesterday for my dad for 60 bucks phone works great just the backlight is dead. The Problem i am having is my micro sd card does not read i have formatted it in fat32 and still a no go. I have no clue what i am doing wrong. The SD card does read in my Xoom and my bionic so i know its not the sd card. and the chips in my phone and tablet does not work in the droid x.

SD Card remount
I had a problem, and have fixed the same problem for many friends, where my SD card could not be read. My first recommended fix is:
Goto Settings > Storage > Unmount SD Card
Then simply remount the SD Card once the unmount has completed.
If this does not work let me know and we'll try something else.

well i just found out one of the pins for the sd card is shot so the phone is shot. Is there anyway i can save the phone or is it just trash now.

I really don't like TouchWiz at all, so, when the first ICS sources became available, I started porting AOSP to our device.
There are still some major and many minor bugs, but ROM seems to be stable and usable.
Please look for buglist below, so you can decide, do you need to flash it or not.
I'll try to fix those bugs as soon as possible, so please, don't ask when something will be fixed, I really don't know for what. I'd like wast more for Louis Vuitton Luggage
Description: This is clean and clear ICS (4.0.3) without any modifications. This is not CM, just AOSP. It may be used with tablet or with phone UI.

Take out the SD card and put it in another phone and when something pops up, you press ok then when its done, you put it back in your phone at it should work fine

If you've swapped around several microSD cards in your phone and none of them work, your phone is the problem. It more than likely has a dead card reader.
The only fix for this is to get a new phone.

HD2 can't read SD card

Hey,
I just took out my SD card to view it on my PC and when I returned it to the phone, it would not read. No problems on thePC, but the HD2 says there's no card mounted. Tried another card and it showed up so I put mine back in and it would not. Put the other one in again and now it doesn't show up either. Can't find anyone that has had a similar problem by searching.
ARRRGGHHHH!!!!
Any ideas?
Thank you,
OZ

Adapter?
Hey,
I guess you used an adapter to view your micro-sd card on your PC?!
My adapter has a switch on the side which enables/disables read/write protection for the micro-sd card. If yours has that too, make sure that the read/write protection is disabled!

Thank you,
It has started being seen again. Don't know why it stopped or restarted... Lost use for a few hours.

Happened AGAIN!
Okay, this is getting annoying...
Rebooted the phone and go a message sayiing "damaged SD card" rebooted again, same thing. took card out, works with a reader on PC still. reinstalled and no good. repeated three times and rebooted again...found it, this time.
Anyone have any reason this could be happening?
Thanks,

SD Card is Damaged. Try Reformatting it.

Anyone else getting this with their S4? I bought my S4 two weeks ago and a Sandisk 64gb card to go with it and started seeing this error about twice a day. I returned it for a Samsung SD and didn't see the error for almost a week until today.
The card actually appears to be fine, all I have to do is remount it after seeing the message and all is good, it's just worrisome cause I store all my photos on there. I'm wondering if it could be the phone itself? I have one day left to exchange it, but it's rooted.

SD Errors are because the card is physically moving when its being written to. This cause bad sectors on the card. Try putting a piece of thin scotch tape and cut to shape of the face of the SD Card. See if it fits more snug....
Are you jogging with the S4 or something? Samsung SD's are class 10 which I think write faster. Maybe that is less likely to cause damage because its written so fast? Not sure....
Try the tape trick and see if it reduces the problem. Else its a physical problem with the slot.

i also have a class 10 64gb, some guy on the forum posted this problem too, he said that by formating the card with a PC and then formating it with the format utility in the phone settings has solved his problem. If not, might be a slot problem like slider mentionned

I had this problem too with my 32 gig class 10. When I put my shock absorbant case on it my problem went away

I had never had an issue with a Sandisk card until my S3 ate a 32GB. I then started readibg how the S3 ate non- Samsung cards. I have been using a Samsung card with no issues

hope you make regular sdcard backups and copy to pc
polish_pat is correct, reformat your card with sdformatter, use Full Erase On and Size Adjustment On
Of course backup first
you shouldn't have to reformat again in phone--
if the card is good this should solve your issue

I had tried 3 different San disk 64GBP class 10 cards and had this problem, the fourth one works so far...doing some searching I found lots of complaints from lots of different device forums about this card. Only fix I found was running chkdsk repair on the card in Windows but this only worked for a few people ( couldn't save my first three cards)
anyway, imo exchange the card or better yet buy a different brand

Posting here as doing a search revealed this is the closest to the problem that I'm having. I've had my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 for approximately 1 month now. I purchased a Sandisk 32GB SD Card for the phone. Two days ago I began experiencing issues where when unlocking the phone I would notice the card would unmount then remount (this was in the notification bar). Later that night, the card unmounted and there wasn't any way to get it recognized again. I posted in some other forums and someone said there were some good posts here.
I've contacted Sandisk regarding the card and they refused any involvement stating it's a problem with the phone, not the card. They determined this because once I was able to get the phone to recognize the card and plugged the phone into the PC, the card was able to be read. As long as it's readable, it's fine. After dealing with this I eventually found my MicroSD to SD reader and plugged it into my media reader in my printer. I had quite a few issues from time to time reading the card, however I can't 100% for sure say whether this is the card or the printer.
Anywho, I grabbed copies of what I needed. Formatted the card on the PC, then formatted it on the phone. I began to copy my entries however at one point instead of saying I had 29.* GB Available, it said something like 2.0 EV of 3.0 PE or something like that... these weren't the typical numbers I've seen nor the units of storage space. I apologize that I can't recall that information. I reformatted again and it worked. Left the card in the phone empty over night then tried to copy files later today. This worked.
Now, approximately 48 hours after the problems began, I noticed more issues. SD card stated that it had been damaged and that I should reformat it. While this message stayed in notifications, I confirmed I was still able to read files on the SD card. When googling that error hoping I'd find more resources, the card again unmounted.
One of the resources I found had me do a CHKDSK /F /X on the card. I did this and found no issues. I've replaced it back into the phone and it seems to be working for the moment.
1) Are there any confirmations if this is a bad card, or if perhaps any applications are causing the card to do this? I do have QuickPic and have enabled some of the hidden file features if that helps.
2) Do we know if there are any logs that can be pulled to help verify this?
3) Is it a specific card? (I've heard SanDisk 32gb, but also have heard non-Samsung SD will fail)
Looking to get this resolved ASAP. This card was purchased directly from AT&T when the phone was purchased. I am just looking for some confirmation that if I have to buy another card, I'm not going to gamble if that's going to have the problem as well.
Thanks! If I forgot anything please ask!
Edit: Per the thread, this is a Class 4 card. Also the phone was not moving when it was writing data. I've been couch-ridden all day and unlocked it. I don't believe the phone was in deep-sleep mode as I had received a text not long before I began noticing these messages.

same problem
i have the same problem and guess what ?
the phone is acting like the ***** it stays ok for 3 weeks while that time i download to many stuff to my ext card 32g Elixir Memory after that it crach and give me notification that sd card is damaged and i have to reformat it sucks

This works! It fixed the issue I was having with my SanDisk 64GB.

[Q] SD card not working

So, I have a 64gb class 10 card from Patriot in here, which I formatted from the phone when I first got it. Last week, the device kept telling me there was an issue with the card and that it needed to be formatted. Despite rebooting, remounting and checking the contacts, the only thing that seemed to work was to pull the battery.
Today, I had the same issue and went through the same motions. Only now, the phone doesn't seem to think the card is even there. I checked the log in recovery and found multiple lines saying it failed to mount.
I'm not currently able to test the card in another device, or another card in the slot. But until I am in a couple of hours does anyone here have a suggestion?

Going to have to do some research on that...

I've read that even the S3 was finicky with different microSD card brands, and it seems to continue in the S4. You may have to try a Samsung brand card or I suggest search around to see which brands people have had the best luck with and go with that. Until then check if your card is ok with a reader or another phone and then if you have to, use the lifetime warranty or exchange at store. I've been using a Lexar brand (also Class 10) for well over two weeks now in my S4 with zero issues, but a couple of weeks is no test.

You could try to repair it with a Windows PC. I had a similar issue and the following fixed it for me.
Open a cmd prompt and type
chkdsk /X /F E:
Where E was the drive letter of my SD card when mounted using a card reader. You will need to put the appropriate drive letter there.
If this helps thank "mr_deimos" at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367912 That is where I found this info.

I had the problem with the s3 and s4 . I even had to call sandisk and replace it . But at the end it kept doing the same thing . So what I did was put it in my computer and did a full format it toke about two to three to format it but it finally worked. I called samsung I mean I tryed everything. So I talk to a I.t. guy and told me to do that and it work but keep in mind my card was a sandisk 64gb class 10.Hope that help.
O.Nice

How are you formatting the sd?
ex-fat or fat32?

S4 another SD destroyer? Damaged SD Card

[Q] HELP problems writing in micro SD S4

Hi my problem is, I was transferring some videos from my desktop to my S4 micro SD, it suddenly threw an writing error, a few seconds later I unplug my phone from the usb and then plug it again, I was able to copy the files.
Everything was okay until I restarted my phone, the videos were gone. And now doesn´t matter if I write or delete something from the SD card every time that I restart my phone or remove the SD it returns to what it was.
This is my 2nd 64GB micro SD having this problem the first one was with my Samsung Note 10 2014, but was exactly in the same way.
I need to know if it can be fixed and how or do I need a new SD card.

I can think of a couple of possible causes.
I'm wondering if you might have a fake microSD card. In other words, looks like 64GB, but is really only 32, or maybe 16 GB, or something else. Think where did you buy the card. If you bought on line especially, this could be the case. You can get software that will check it.
If the card really is 64GB, then maybe you can try reformatting it to see if that corrects the problem.

Memory cards corrupt because you copy large files at a time which cause fault in memory card internal circuits...Copy data at some intervals give it break dont try to fill 64gb at a time..
