Hi,
i bought a new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and i have a SD card which is 64 gig with files stored on the card. Every time i put my 64 gig SD card in the Note 4 it sometimes recognizes the card and sometimes does not, when i click on the 'my files' app to view my files on the SD card it says 'no files' when there is. Sometimes i can view the files other times not. - I've also noticed this only works when i turn the phone off and start it again then and only then i can view the files on my 64 gig SD card. Then if you exit the app and open another app but go back to the 'my files' app it will say no files on the SD card. I've used this card on my old phone the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the 64gig card works fine. Even now if i put it in my old phone - the S3 - the card works fine and i can view the files on it all the time.
I've also thought may be the Note 4 is new that's why its not recognizing the card and backed up my files on the card and formatted it several times both on exfat and NTFS still not good same problem, sometimes i can see the files on the 64 gig card and other times i cant. I have another 4gig sd card which i put in the Note 4 to check if it is the 64gig card that has the problem or the phone but the 4 gig card which i have inserted in the Note 4 works fine, ive had no problems with it, i can view my files all the time.
Anyone please help as i want to use my 64gig card which has more files on it.
Plz anyone?

yo tuve el mismo problema, mi tarjeta de 32gb no me funcionaba en mi note 4 910h y en otros dispositivos si funcionaba... me compre otra tarjeta de 32gb y si me funciono correctamente... creo que es la tarjeta que tu tienes, trata de conseguir otra tarjeta de 64gb
Are you 100% sure you have a legitimate sd card? I bought one that was a SanDisk knockoff that gave me symptoms similar to yours. Try another verified authentic brand of SD card and see if it persists.
FWIW, I have a 128GB in mine working just fine.

In terms of authenticity I can't tell coz I was using it on my galaxy S3 and it was fine. I had no issue with the card at all its just when I put it in the Note 4 the problems arise. :crying:

I had the same problem, my 32gb card would not work in my note 4 910H and other devices if it worked ... I bought another 32GB and if it worked correctly ... I think it's the card that you have , try to get another card 64gb

Any particular conditions of the new card you bought?
I had the exact same problem. My old 32gig card from my S3 suffered the same problems.
I'm sorry to tell you, but I'm pretty sure the S3 screws up the card for the Note 4.
I replaced the card with a Samsung 64gig, and have not had any problems since.

How come the card works for the S3 phone then and just when I put it in the note 4 it has issues. Also I have a 4 gig in the note 4 now and have not had any problems at all.
You can just buy a new card. That'll save you more headaches.
Yeah I know that but I wanted to find out what was causing the SD card issue. Because otherwise it's a waste of a 64 gig card which was working fine with the galaxy S3. Also I wanted to know the same thing won't happen again if I buy a new 64 gig card of it does it would be a waste of money. So need to get to the bottom of this before anything else.
Any android experts on this forum please share your thoughts and solutions.
Thanks
Since you have formated the card... make sure you only load the card with pictures, docs, music... but do not copy files from the S3 (system files that the phone stores on the sd card) If it doesn't work do a factory reset on the phone and follow the same steps.
No use

I'm having a brand new 32 GB SD card for my N910c, but still suffering the same issue, and tried another SD card as well, alas, without any progress
I then tried a factory reset, and tried reformatting the card on my PC and on with the phone but all of this didn't work...
Any other suggestions???
Thanks anyways

Move the files from SD card to PC, insert card to Note 4 and let the phone format it. Move the files back afterwards.
Same here with sandisk 64GB, but i never noticed it because when i remove or place the card i always turn the phone off. I have a lot of small sd cards and usb sticks broken because of uncareful hotswapping.

Is your SanDisk Ultra or Extreme? A friend of mine had the same issue you have with Ultra, and SD died soon after.

odd - i'm experiencing problems making an A2SD partition - did you make one?
I have had no problem with 32GB microsd card. I've used it with both SD and NAND rom, even with EXT3 partition on supported ROM.

i tried using my own microsd card from s3 and put to her sgs4 and it's working

anyone able to advice on this? help needed
Try to format it in the S4.
However i don't recommend anything less than class 10 microsd card in S4.
Its just not a good idea.

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.

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 !
Hi all,
My SanDisk sd card is not recognized.
Works well with my computer but when I go to"mount sd card" nothing happen and no sd card is displayed in the phone browser.
Is anyone has an idea ?

Make sure you inserted it correctly and contacts are clean and it is formated as FAT32(maybe that is irrelevant if phone doesn't even ask to format it). If everything seems ok, then the sdcard is damaged or incompatible. Is the firmware original or did you mess with it?
The sd card is brand new. And the phone also.
The firmware is the original one. Android 5,01

Hello! The exact same thing happened to me. Except the card was working before, but when I reformatted it for the fresh start, it didn't mount! I tried to a lot of restarting, format to FAT32, NTFS, without formatting and partitioning, nothing helped.
The phone is new, the card is new, checkdisk on it is clean
