Hi all,
So my SD card recently kept unmounting itself from my phone, and I've been allowed to get a full refund as it's a known compatibility issue with SanDisk cards and S4.
The problem here is that I cannot format my card using most means (through PC, MAC, Phone, and DSLR). The card is currently using exFAT. It mounts to my system fine, I can see all files stored perfectly, although whenever I delete the files individually and remount my SD card, all the files appear again!!
Through PC, I have used Disk Management, EaseUS Partition Manager.
Through MAC, I've used Disk Utility, SD Card Formatter v3.
At the moment, i don't feel comfortable in sending it back, with personal data easily accessible.
Anyone have any other methods / ideas?
Thanks!
GUIFormat ?
Same issue here. if anyone finds a solution pm me or reply
Sandisk messed up and make faulty card. It seem this only happened to 64gb SDXC card. I already had mine replaced under warranty 1 time and then after a while it's acting up again. So I ditch that card and buy the other brand.

Hello world,
I'll try to make it as short and accurate as possible. I have an S5 SM-G900F and until recently I was using a 32 GB micro sd card (formated in Fat32) that i had on my S2.
A while back the card just unmounted and died (i tested in another phones + on 2 pcs through card reader).
1st i bought a 64 GB card on ebay (a cheap one) and when receiving it I had 2 issues: the card was slow to read/write and no matter what method was used and how many files were transfered, after a reboot it would only display the first +/- 7.5 GB. The remaining folders remained, but with no files in them. I thought the card was defective and got myself a new one but went for a 128GB this time Read/write speed were correct but i still had this +/- 7.5 gb limit on it. I do not have any phones to test this time, due to the capacity, but on several computers, the size of the microsd card was correct and when connected through USB OTG when i had more that 10gb files on it, they displayed and played just fine (movies and music). It appears that the phone just "deletes" files going over the 7.5 GB threshold. I used the following methods to copy files to the card:
1. USB cable and MTP.
2. Card reader
3. Over wifi using ES File Manager
I thought that maybe the stock kitkat rom i had was the problem so i upgraded to a stock lollipop 5.0 (spanish one) but i have the same issue. I even tried unrooting the phone.
Has anyone ever encountered this kind of issue? Does anyone have any suggestion to try resolving this?
Feeling desperate here
can anybody help? please

Hi :good:,
Sorry to hear that you are faced with a Defective SD Card. Stop buying from ebay as the sellers most of the times are not authentic and the electronic products you buy will be fake from inside but looks absolutely genuine from outside.
Currently ONLY 'SanDisk' and 'Samsung' produces 128GB mmc card.
Try to reformat the Card as Full Format in Windows and check if it works.
if not then Delete the Card partition from Windows. Put it in the phone and it will be identified as Damaged Card. Go ahead with clicking the message and the Phone will Auto Partition and Auto Format the card.
If its still not working... then you are married with a Damaged Card.
Check if you are accessing the SD Card Folder over WiFi not the Phone internal memory Folder which is anyways will be much lesser. KitKat do not allow accessing the SD Card to 3rd Party Apps but there are few tricks here in XDA (search for it) which will overcome that.
Happy Troubleshooting.
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.
Hello I have a Bolt and I am having problems with my SD card. I insert it and the phone recognizes it and mounts it as portable storage. I then format the card as internal storage which seems to work ok. Then I attempt to migrate data and the phone hangs up at 0% and never appears to actually migrate data.
I do not think the problem is the SD card, as I insert it into another phone and it works fine as internal storage. I have tried multiple cards in my Bolt and have the same issue. This is the card https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HU3Q6F2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
any help would be appreciated.
You card may not be good enough to format as internal try putting it in and formatting as external I believe it has encryption I had to format card with phone then add my files

Considering this is a UHS-I Card, You shouldn't have any problems.
One thing I will recommend is formatting it twice. Format as internal then reformat as portable, reboot, and reformat as internal and then try migrating your data. That usually did the trick for me. I had issues with these SanDisk Cards though so be careful. I've had two of them die on me already. I RMA'd those and I am awaiting a exchange but I went and got a Samsung SD card as a replacement and haven't had any issues since. For some reason, I've always had to format all my cards twice for adoptable storage to properly work, regardless of device.
Edit: UHS-3. Those Speeds tho ?

I had the same problem until I bought a class 10 SD card now I formated it as internal storage no problem so it went from 32 gig online storage to 64 gigs with the 32 gig expansion using sd card.

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.
Thanks
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)
