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.
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...

Try using a different microSD card? My class 6 32GB works!
so does this mean that the card is corrupted i will test another card and confirm...
Likely the card is the issue.

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 only solution is just wait for another samsung software update
Hi everyone,
i have a G900F running on the current version of the ALEXNDR Rom, rooted, Knox 0x1, Android 6.0.1.
I have my SD card formatted as (mixed) adoptable storage (via adb), so I have 50% of space as SD card memory, 50% as adoptable storage.
And now for the problem: The SD card is repeatedly shown as "damaged". As soon as I put it into my PC, it'll work without any problems, but the SGS5 will work for quite a time with it, and then suddenly shows it as damaged and will not mount it unless you format it. It usually happens when a larger amount of data is written to the card.
So I thought that the card might really be damaged (was an old and small and slow one) and went vor a SanDisk Extreme 64GB card - same thing here. Then I read about some problems with Samsung devices and SanDisk cards (may the be true or not, I dont know) and swapped it for a Samsung 32 GB Pro SD card - same thing here.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it? Or will the adoptable storage just not work?
In addition: I could reproduce this when I was downloading Videos to the SD card from Amazon Prime Video for offline use. Seems that a) this is a large amount of data and b) split into thousands of small files. I dont know if its the number of files or the amount of data, but when I deleted the folder on my PC and put the card back into the phone, it suddenly worked perfectly again. Any ideas on this?
Hey there how are you?
I recently have had an issue with my samsung 128 sd card that was formated in a 50/50 mix from adb too.
As the sd card was formatted in exfat I posted an issue on the exfat home page. https://github.com/relan/exfat/issues/49 I was provided with advice on my mac on how to reformat it using the dd command. This was the only command that I came across which gave me an input output error indicating a hardware issue on the sd card.
I have since purchased a new sd card. I'm thinking of formatting it as either an ext4 format or f2fd format to see whether this makes an impact of its longevity.
Hope this helps.

Greetings,
I transferred my Pictures and music from my old SanDisk ultra 64GB micro SD card to my new Samsung Ultra + 128GB card. My first attempt at loading the data was through the restore function on the LG Bridge app from my PC. 3 day later when the restore was finished the phone indicated that the data was corrupted and had to be formatted. The second time I got a "file Corruption" message on my SD card when I was transferring files while both cards were in card readers. The next attempt was with the old card in the card reader, and the new card in the device, with the device connected to my laptop directly by USB, the end result being the Corrupted file message (again). My most recent attempt is by downloading files from my PC to my device card. Now the files are gone when I restart the device. The Music file in my folders are gone but the music outside of the folders are still present. All my pictures on my card are gone as well. ANY help is desperately needed and appreciated!!!
Did anyone have an answer to this? I'm having the same issue with my V30 - the files I copy to the external SD card by any means (AFT, SyncMate, FTP, SyncTunesMac) disappear...
I don't have good news for either of you that sounds like the sd card or the card port are going bad. Is it possible your ad cards are counterfeit as in does this behavior happen with another known good card...
I would try the following
First backup anything you can
Try a known good card that works in other devices and see if the behavior persists if yes
It is an issue with the phone not the card if the behavior stops you both got bum cards be more careful where you buy amazon is not even safe.
If the behavior persists try resetting the phone full factory. If custom Rom reload the rom. If the issue persists past that you most likely have a hardware issue that requires mainboard replacement.
Also try uploading files to the cards using the computer(with the micro sd to sd adapter) and check if the files stay(using the phone)
I had a similar issue with Moto G Turbo with Lollipop. It permanently damaged 2 MicroSD.
I ended doing a factory reset and MicroSD worked correctly again.
Counterfeit

By the above description, this is almost certainly a counterfeit sd card.
Google "H2TestW_1.4.zip" to test ANY card you buy before you ever use it.
It's a solid, lightweight program that does its job well.
Anything that says it will do the job better / faster is blowing smoke up your skirt.

Still on first day of ownership with device here. Android currently reports a corrupt SD, and I recall reading that there's two options for storage under Android 7. The traditional, of keeping the SD card as a separate file system, and I think the updated handling has to do with encryption.
Will revisit post if I encounter similar issue, regarding low battery.

It's natural for the first time, but in my case it shows corrupt SD even after I ve already formatted it with my phone (Only if phone switches off due to low battery).
Well It gave me corrupt card error on the 3rd day of use, all I did was just restarted my phone and when it turned on It show Sd card corrupted. Although my PC was able to read it. Then i took a backuo, formatted card with phone and restored data. Hope I don't see the error again.
My card got corrupt yet again after a normal switch off and on process.
It's a 64Gb card. Don't know what to do.

Here the problem comes..., it's a software issue I guess, BTW there is a workaround. Connect ur SD card to a computer and scan it for errors(apply fix if needed), after that test u can use it as before. I hope it helps :good:

Tried everything but not this, yes I also believe it's a software iasue coz data stays intact after it says corrupt. My 1st workaround is not switching off the phone.

Same issue here. I bought my Moto G 5 Plus 3 or 4 days ago. Have a Sandisk 32GB (Class 10) MicroSD formatted as Internal Memory. I restarted the phone several times and everything was fine. Till one moment I wanted to take a picture, but the motorola photo app was crashing every time I wanted to take a picture. I restarted the phone and the MicroSD card was corrupt. The MicroSD was basically new, never used, only inserted once in an other phone, but not even used once to store anything. I really hope this is a software problem and not a hardware problem, and that they will fix it..

SD Card Corruption - Lenovo Community
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/MotoG5thGen/page/1/thread-id/1525
Was this ever fixed?? Im buying the phone and getting on Friday
Well, no OTA updates so far, so I guess no fix. I'm using my SD card as external storage (Not formatted as internal) and I had no issues so far. The only downside is that you can barely move any apps to the SD formatted like this. But with the internal storage space of the Moto G it should be enough for now. I hope tough they fix it in the future. I'm wondering tough if it's not an Android issue. I wasn't lucky so far with internally formatted SD cards, on my previous phone if the phone crashed for whatever reason, anything that has changed on the SD since the last reboot would disappear. So I wonder if it's an global android issue.
I'm getting corruption errors with two brand new 32GB and 16GB Toshiba Exceria M302/EA microSD cards (http://www.toshiba-memory.com/cms/en/products/microsd-cards/exceria/exceria-pro-m302-ea.html).
Now I'm testing an old 16GB SanDisk Ultra and it seems to be working but I fear it won't last.
I have a G5 XT1676 with stock NPP25.137-15 and no updates available.
No corruption issues here. I bought a Sansdisk 128GB Ultra card. Ive been using the phone for a couple of months now. I have 80GB worth of music on it and I have photos saved to the card. I think the quality of your SD card will have a lot to do on seeing this issue. Good luck
Similar issue with 32 GiB Lexar SDHC, brazilian G(5)+
Greetings,
The same thing just happened to me: after a manual shutdown {1}: SD reported as corrupted, but reads fine on a Mac. The SDHC card is a 32 GiB Lexar and my G(5)+ is a stock factory unlocked brasilian version.
This did not happen in the prior manual reboots, since I got it in March.
{1} Launcher3 was throwing "not responding" warnings and Google Cards was very laggy, so I manually rebooted the phone after clearing Launcher3 cache and storage.
Cordially,
GemSev.

Update:
So far, all attempts at formatting in-phone stall, in both internal and external modes, at 20% and 30%, respectively.
Waiting for another SD card to arrive for further tests.

My Lexar card just died after a reboot it was working fine in my m8 before I got the moto g. When I plug in the card to my pc I can see all the files but they are write locked so the card is effectively dead.
Subscribed. I am also seeing the SD Card Corrupt on bootup. Wonder if it's bootup or restart/shutdown that messes it up? Tryinig to eject media, turning phone off and booting to see if it's happening on boot time or on restart/shutdown.
EDIT: Didn't have to go that far.... I press EJECT, then took out, inserted back in, CORRUPTED. Must be the EJECT or SD Prepare sequence? Or maybe an encryption issue (when re-inserted it has new keys/whatever encryption it uses?)
EDIT 2: I rebooted phone (power button until it rebooted) and SD Card shows CORRUPTED. It's either not updating the FAT table or must be the SD Prepare sequence corrupting it. I inserted the corrupted SD card on Windows and it showed "You need to format the disk in drive before you can use it." and no matter what format I use it gives me the message format not recognized on the phone.
I ejected the card via OS and checked on PC, CORRUPTED.
I HARD ejected the card and checked on PC, CORRUPTED.
I rebooted phone (power button until it rebooted) and ejected the card before boot and SD CARD is
CONFUSED!!!
It's like the card is good until it powers off, then it's no good.
CONFUSED!!!
Regret not getting the 64GB version now...if that's all I am going to have.. Moto needs to address this issue...
Fixed my SD card
This same thing happened to me.
I repaired my SD card by taking my SD card out of my phone and connecting it to my computer using a micro SD adapter.
When you click on the card's drive letter in Windows Explorer it will probably say 'This drive is corrupt and inaccessible'.
So I opened up the run box by pressing 'Windows Key + R', typed in 'cmd' then 'enter' to open the command prompt.
Then I typed the command 'chkdsk (drive letter of your card) /f'
for example: 'chkdsk D: /f'
Press enter and then chkdsk will run and should repair your card.
You should now make a backup of the files on your card just in case this happens again.
sd card is not even showing so how to format it
guys i have a samsung 16gb sd card it was lost and i found it after 2 days and now it is not even showing in any phone any pc.... i think its pin has tempered but if there is a way to fix it then tell me
The same happens to me, Moto G5 (NOT Plus). All cutom and stock ROMs have had this SD card being corrupted after a boot, came here for help but as I see, there's still no solution to this problem. Gosh, I'm starting to hate this device, buttons are not clicky anymore!
Last time i tried to make my SD card work, after watching a coupple of videos from my SD card, it couldn't read it anymore, I had to format it again, practicaly I can't use my device with SD cards. (Sandisk 16GiB Class 10)
