Having problems with the SD card

So one random day my SD card on the phone says its only mounted read only and I can't store anything on the card and this is the stock card that the phone came with so if anybody has a clue to try to get me on the right track to fix it I would really appreciate it

Where could I have clicked it?
If you mean when it ask if you want to erase card. No because it was fine for a couple hours. The phone not reading the card. When I try to take pictures. It says insert sd card.

Are you sure the SD card is all the way in? Or if you plug it into the computer will it read it?

I'm not sure if there is a way to get the data off or not like you can a hard drive.....

Sd card saying damaged when I restart my phone

Basically when I restart my phone, I get a pop up that says my Sd card is damaged but when I go to settings and mount it, it works fine until I do another reboot. The one annoying thing that happens is it wipes anything that was saved from my phone like DCIM picture and music etc but everything else is still there(that I saved from my pc).
Any idea what's causing it?

What phone and which vendors SD card?
Didn't I see that Sandisk has a bad batch recently of 32 GB cards?
Also have you tried reformatting?

It's a HC 64gb card running on SGS4 phone. I've tried reformatting off my pc and phone but to no avail. It worked fine on my Note 2

Do you have another card to try? Since its a new device and it worked on your old phone you need to rule out the phone as the issue.

Your sd card is dying...same thing started with my card.formatted,used it for a couple of days and started again,and ny S4 didn't recognized anymore

See if the manufacturer will replace it.

I guess it's one of those annoying things. I'll get a new Sd card, might be the easiest solution

App icons changed

So I've had this thing for about a week now and the growing list of complaints is still mounting. Now I have an issue where almost all my apps, only those on the sd card, need to be redownloaded. The icon for them is just the Android guy with a little sd card on the lower right of the icon. When I touch it it takes me to Google play and says it's not installed. Anyone experiencing the same? I have reinstalled a few and when I did it seems my info is still there. No idea why it happened.

Have you tried reformatting the sdcard with the phone (not with windows)?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Was going to until I noticed that when I reinstalled the apps my data was still there so I didn't want to risk losing all my data

Is the card mounted OK? - does it keep unmounting itself? Could be messing up the file system but not actually destroying data., which would indicate a card problem, tried testing the card also? - Try another SD card if you have one, or alternatively format it via the phone and lose the data, then redownload.

Mounting seems fine, actually unmounted and remounted a few times with same results. Haven't tried testing it, what's a good way to do so? I guess an idea would be to transfer app off card back to phone and reformat and see what happens.

New stock update now no sd card

My s5 is a completely stock UK model on Tesco/O2. It's had a couple of system updates.
I last did one a couple of days ago and now the phone won't recognise the sd card. It initially flashed the message "sd card unexpectedly removed" (or similar).
I've tried restarting, removing sd, restarting then putting card in. All to no avail.
The card works fine in my son's s4.
Any ideas please?

Have you backed up and reformatted card?
I'm having another problem, in that I can't get music to my SD card!
Have you got music on your external SD card?

No music. Got a few films and work pdfs.
I'm wondering if anybody else has any problems after recent updates

Just remembered something. When I tried to move a couple of movies to the sd using ESFILEEXPLOR it wouldn't let me. I managed to move them with the stock file explorer though.
I was reading another thread about compatible sd cards and it seems there are a few people with issues, mainly caused after transferring music to the card as opposed to leaving it in the system memory

I heard there were a few problems with this stock update and I was trying to avoid it because my phone was fine, no problems with really anything. It updated when I connected to WiFi... oops. Now it won't read my SD card and pretty much every time I unlock my phone, it tells me to check my back cover because it thinks it's not all the way attached. Realllyyyy annoying and I have no idea how to fix this.
Edit; I'm on an att s5

The warnings wont go away unfortunatly but had no sd card issue....if anything after update my screen was unresponsive till i pulled the battery
