S7 & S7E killing my SD Cards....GRR! Any ideas? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I don't know if it's something I'm doing, but this has happened twice now (both with an S7 and now my new S7E).
I bought my S7 with a SanDisk Extreme 64GB Micro SD. After a few months, I kept finding that on taking a photo, it was diverting to internal storage over the SD card. Rebooting sorted it for a while, but it reached a point where it locked itself and could only be read, but not written to. I sent it back to Sandisk and they issued a replacement.
Since then I've now got an S7E (I was part of the N7 scandal). I'm using the replacement Sandisk card I received and today EXACTLY the same thing has happened. The card has become completely locked. I can see the data that was on it from the S7E before it locked up, but I can't write to it. In fact, I can't even format it. If I put it in my PC I can read everything on it but otherwise it's bu**ered.
Where am I going wrong with my S7's and SD cards. Any ideas?
Cheers.

I had the same thing happen. My Sandisk 128gb got corrupted, sent it back for replacement to Sandisk. Then the replacement got effed. Then I bought a Samsung Evo 128gb and it got locked somehow. There are files on it that I can see with a PC, but when in a phone shows as corrupted. Cannot format, cannot do anything with it. I got another 128gb Samsung from Amazon and so far is working. I am worried it will do it again.

Can i ask which version of s7/edge you guys have ? I got the exynos model (n7 scandal as well) I popped in a 128 gb evo card, I'm worried it might do that to me :/

And me. What I've decided to do is just put music on it (i.e. read only)! That's what it's mostly for for me anyway.

Mine is also Exynos!

Well for me, it started when I had the AT&T 935A S7E with the SanDisk, but I now have the Exynos S7E and it is the one that the Samsung micro SD went bad on. So both models caused issues. I do flash custom roms and things and know the risks, but have never had this happen on any of my S2, S3, S4, S5, or S6 phones.

I got the same issue but I think its the card with the HC card I didnt have problems but with the XC card it got corrupted...

Try a different SDCard manufacturer to SanDisk?
Possible the replacement was from a faulty batch of cards the original was also from
Think I'm using Kingston

Did you read my post? It happened to me with a Samsung too.

Same issue here with Silicon power 64gb.

Might be the whole XC thing.... I have an old 32GB Samsung EVO knocking around. I'm gonna see if I can kill it haha! Otherwise I'm going to have to send the dead one back AGAIN.

I had te same issue on 3 SanDisk cards all SDXC, I concluded to stick with SDXC, got for the extreme versions.
I tried everything to recover or format.

For those with locked files on the SD, what did you when sending it back?

Probably connext ur micro sd card to the pc and done diagnostics and correct disk sectors.

Doesn't work. Already tried that.

There is a command you can use on dos that fixes read write or bad partition errors on sd cards . Check this link
https://appuals.com/best-guide-steps-to-fix-a-corrupt-sd-card-via-chkdsk/

Yes that's what's I've run already on my cards. I have tried everything I can find. I do work in the IT field though I'm not a programmer. The closest I've come to getting somewhere is using an application called testdisk. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk It will help you recover any files lost but that isn't my problem. The one thing I will say is I'm pretty sure all mine have been formatted as eXfat vs fat. I had one go bad when I was messing around with adoptable storage.

I also used to work in the IT field! I spent about 8 hours last time trying to repair the card the first time around - in the end I just sent it back to Sandisk. You need to request an RAM on their web site.
And yea, no CHKDSK /f, or DISKPART CLEAN will touch it. It's so odd how the phone can render a card useless - yet still be completely readable.

I have an sandisk extreme pro 64Gb sdxc since april. Only use it for photos and downloads, sometimes to listen to music. It still works flaweless *knocks on wood*
Have you guys formated the card in the phone? This cause some really bad performance for me, i formatted it with my pc and SDCardformatter and the performance is better now. But sadly not as good as out of the box. Maybe samsung screw something up while formatting with the phone?

When this happens, the card is locked. If I format the card in the phone it claims to have worked - yet nothing has actually been formatted. If I use SDCardformmatter (or Windows, or any of the 3rd party tools) they all fail. "This disk cannot be formatted"!

Yes I have put them in the phone, and my card says corrupted when in the phone, yet works fine (other than being write protected) in my PC. I did request an RMA on my first 128gb SanDisk, then it happened to the replacement, then it happened to the Samsung 128gb, and I am on my 4th 128GB which is a Samsung EVO Select. I thought it might have had something to do with not doing the full wipe of data in TWRP recovery before switching roms. It does say doing full wipe removes encryption as well as wiping data.

Swapping out the MicroSD card of HTC Surround

Ok... I'm not so sure If i was supposed to make a new thread or reply to an old one... but If you replaced your MicroSD card, then what kind did you replace the 16gb card with? I put in an older 8GB C4 card and my phone is not working as well as before. It is not responding during sync and it opens applications a bit slower. Every time, after about 5 minutes into the sync operation, it stops responding and I have to reconnect it to my computer, and I fear that it is overcharging the battery.
So just curious, what brand, model (if you have it), size, and class, are you using currently?
SD Cards
Hi Kuree,
The first time I replaced my SD i used a Lexar 16GB Micro SDHC (it has a 4 in a cirlce on it as well). This one worked perfectly, syncing and there were no slow downs what so ever.
The card i have in my surround now is Also a 16GB MicroSDHC (with a 2 circled on it) this card also works perfectly. i'm not sure on the brand name as this one doesn't say it but I'm pretty sure it was a Lexar Mobile version.
I've only used 16GB cards so i can't exactly tell you if the 8GB card is the root of your issues.
Hopefully this helps you out!
If you have any more questions let me know and I'll see if i can answer them.
Take care,
Coockoo
problems....
I guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread. I'm having issues with upgrading to 32g... after hard resetting the phone and setting up time, the phone just gets stucked in "installing apps". It just seats there.

Hi,
Is "ADATA" micro SDHC 4
They told me (were I bought this) that this card should work.
Now I can't even read or format the SD card....
Thanks!!

I didn't even know the surround had a memory card slot, where is it?
Any chance to revive the "adata" card?. I would really hate to trash 26 bucks...
To LKMR, search youtube, there is a nice tutorial on how to expand the memory of the phone.

S5 and SanDisk 64GB UHS-1 problems w/ camera

The first few photos went to the SD card then I get error messages saying...
http : // i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy360/sell90254/IMG_9360_zpse1bc05a4.jpg << this is the image but I'm too new to post pics.
"Unable to save file to SD card. Default storage has been changed to device memory."
So, I Googled around it it seems that this problem has popped up before but I haven't yet found a resolution.
I have the latest SanDisk 64GB UHS-1 microSD card. I thought that the problem last night was because I corrupted it by writing to it from my Windows 8 PC but I've since reformatted it with the fat32format.exe utility so that should be good.
Any advice?
I keep switching it back to the SD card but it worked for only a few hours.
My first Android device...
Maybe it's OK? Maybe my answer will help other NOOBs (like me)?
It seems that it depends on which shooting method that you use. And, I knew that because I read the entire manual while patiently waiting for what seemed like FOR-EVER for this thing to come out.
Anyway, I wasn't in one of the special "shot & more" modes so I thought it would be good but 'burst' somehow got checked and that was the problem.
:silly:
did you try formatting it?
it should work...i think its either a formatting issue or a problem with your card

YES. I did reformat the phone but learned a lot more about this.
--- THIS IS NOW A USEFUL POST ---
The problem is the version of this memory card and the exact part # and mislabeled packaging (can't post pics and URLs because I'm still too much of a NOOB to be allowed).
Here's what I wrote to the guy that I bought this from and he agreed to accept my return.
"I am so sorry to do this but the part # that you sent is different from the one you advertised and it therefore doesn't work in my Samsung Galaxy S5.
#1. The ad that I purchased from clearly said that I was buying a SDSDQUA-064G-A11A (Class 10 / UHS-1) but I instead received a SDSDQY-064G-U46A which is actually a class 6.
Regardless it is a different part #.
#2. This is documented on the SanDisk forum.
Question: Is "SDSDQY-064G-U46A" the same as "SDSDQUA-064G-A11A"?
From http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Mobile...he-same-as-quot-SDSDQUA-064G-A11A/td-p/273971
Answer: SDSDQUA-064G-A11A is a class 10 UHS-I card in US packaging that has the android logo on it. SDSDQY-064G-U46A is a class 6 card in EU packaging #
3. I tried to use it because 64GB is 64GB but the phone requires a certain memory speed in order to support the camera and it automatically switches photos to the internal memory because the memory isn't class 10.
#4. I ran benchmark testing on my phone and confirmed the speed. The package is opened because I did try to use it but I've got all the material. Please let me know where I can send it back in order to receive a full refund."

Google for "SDSDQY-064G-U46A SDSDQUA-064G-A11A" and you will find other articles.
My solution was to buy the 'Extreme version", I know it's 2x the price but not being able to take certain types of photos or videos on my SD card is unacceptable.
Specifically...
SanDisk 64GB 64G Extreme micro SD microSDXC Card 45MB/s 300X UHS-I Class 10 +smal multifunction Case
I have seen this same complaint on forums at Amazon, eBay and NewEgg. All supplied the much slower card which I can confirm does not work in the S5.
PS Here's a picture of what I bought that says Class 10 / UHS-1 but isn't really...
Just make sure the part # ends in A11A because the one ending in U46A won't work properly in your phone.
I have the extreme plus version and it works great

I was pretty sure but that's EXACTLY what I wanted to know myself. I bought "extreme" and not "extreme plus" -- seems that there is a 2x difference here in speed. Hopefully the 'extreme is enough'. The lesser version of the "Ultra" (U46A) clearly is not.
I bought this one from http://www.rakuten.com/prod/sandisk-extreme-64gb-microsdhc-uhs-i-class-10-memory-card/256138497.html
and not this one from www.rakuten.com/prod/sandisk-extreme-plus-64-gb-microsdhc-class-10-uhs-i-memory-card-with/263090059.html
Some part #'s:
Extreme = SDSDQXL-064G-A46A
Extreme Plus = HK092 ???
Seems like most sites don't always list the full part # (example above) and many others list one but sell a different one like when I ordered the non-extreme version.

I have a class 4 16GB card in my S5 right now and have no issues with burst (obviously, because the phone clearly says burst writes to phone storage), 4K video, etc. I suspect your card was defective.

I've had a similar problem, it started in my S4 with the 64gb SanDisk but I thought that the camera had gone faulty! Upgraded this week to S5 and put the sd card in it and all the pictures I took were OK for a minute then went corrupt? Also noticed that I couldn't put apps on the sd so process of elimination brought me to the card. Turns out it had gone faulty but had a second one in my gopro so put it in the phone and all is working perfectly but the other card is dead and can't even format it. Not sure if this helps or similar to your experience but thought I'd share

I tried the Ultra and not Ultra-Plus. The Ultra worked for most things for me but not high speed cam/camera functions.
If you tried it please let me know.
From this point on I buy the Extreme Plus and never looked back.

Using 64 GB SD

Does anyone has trying to use a 64 SD in the note ? I had tried a Samsung without any luck. It can be read and also save some music and videos but after using 5 GB it start failing.
Yes
I use Samsung 64Gb MicroSD without any problem
I am using a SanDisk Extreme Plus 64gb MicroSD card in my Note Pro. Works great, no complaints.
No problems here either. Look like a bad card maybe. I would try it in a PC to see if you get the same results. If so then it's probably a bad card. There are counterfeit cards out there that also give the results you have.
I agree, a defective card. I'm using a 128 GB card bought from a chinese retailer for 30 € and no problem so far.
I use a 64gb microSD. The first one I tried only lasted a few weeks and then I started getting errors. I replaced the card and all was well for about 6 months. Then I started getting errors saying the card was corrupt whenever the battery would drop below 50% state of charge. I finally sent the tablet in for repair (under warranty). They told me there was a battery terminal connection that was broken and they also update "software". Not sure what that was since I was already on the latest update. The only thing I can figure is it was some form of firmware update. When I got it back it seemed to fine and I have not had a problem in the last few weeks since it was returned.

Micro Sd card issue.

Got my v20 yesterday but its mot reading my 128 gb micro sd card . guess I'm going to have to format but transfer all my files to computer first . can't loose I have a lot . The card is SDXC .

Thanks for sharing.
You forgot to disclose the manufacturer and model of the card. Havent had a problem with any micro's in my v20.
It's a Samsung SDXC
$oul€$$ D€m0n!
Im having issues with sd card with camera saving to sd card. Also when i crop a photo it won't save. Using my 256 card from my Note 7 that cane with phone. Never had a issue on the Note, with the V20 km.about to just use it for the DAC only n go back to Note 5. Permissions in Google have been charged to give permission but still cant saved edited photos
I recently had a Samsung sdxc evo class 10 fail (suddenly couldn't write anything despite having 80gb of free space left).
Did manage to copy the data off of the card but I ended up having to get a new card, this time I went with SanDisk class 10. So far so good.
Wonder if there is a defective batch going around (I purchased mine about a year ago)

I have the same card from Samsung,( it was free with the Note 7). Unfortunately, I'm still having problems playing videos. I've tried VLC and MX, but both only play some of the files from SD. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Definitely have to format. If you'll notice the card is assigned I don't know what to call it and filesystem may have been handled differently. I had to do same. Took time but works proper.

I solved this by moving the SIM from the main slot to the side slot (dual SIM model). Weird thing was that anything < 64 gig would read fine, larger SD cards wouldn't. Only thing i can think of is a design flaw whereby the SD card is getting pushed up and not making contact properly due to the SIM underneath it. Try taking the SIM out and seeing if it will read/format/re-read it then?

Does the Axon 7 kills microSD?

Hi
I just got my A2017G for a week now and yesterday, my 1 year 2 months old microSD just died in it. It is a SanDisk Ultra 128GB card that had been used in a Panasonic CM1 and an Asus ZE552KL before going into the A2017G. All my pictures taken yesterday cannot be view although they are on the card at their full size. The card can be read off the phones or on a computer but cannot be written to, so no reformat.
I had seen on the ZTE USA forums of microSD dying in this phone, but they mostly refer to Samsung cards. Anyone here has this experience before or is this just a case of bad luck? Also, I am still on the factory B11 firmware at the moment, planning to update to B08/9 this weekend, not sure if it is a factor.
I know the SanDisk has a 5 years warranty for the Ultra range, but since the card is now read only with everything on it intact, how do I destroy the data without destroying the card? Any suggestions? Don't think they will accept a physically destroyed card as a RMA.
I have about the same micro SD card (sandisk 128GB) that has gone through my Xperia SP for about two years, and now my Axon 7 for over a year now, and I've had no issues with it. It is still working perfectly fine. I have heard of someone who destroyed their card when formatting it as adoptable storage (although on a Moto G). If you did that, it might be the cause.

It might be bad luck but I'm not sure really. All cards go read-only after some time, but there seems to be a problem with the Axon 7 and SD cards for some reason. Once it goes read-only I think there is no way to destroy its data without actually physically breaking it; I had an 8gb SD where I kept my ROMs and zips and initially I didn't know this, and attempted to format it. I tried around 10 methods, with some shady kingston software, even with an Ubuntu live cd that i had lying around, and nothing
So I dunno...
If you're gonna save pictures and stuff I guess it'd be better for you to use an OTG and a pendrive
Yeah, it killed my Samsung 128GB card last week.
I will just put it down to bad luck for this time but think I will get a cheap PNY 64g to test for a while before buying another 128g one. I had just updated to B09 and does it support 128g+ cards?
Looking at the ZTE USA forums again today and it seems that there are both Samsung and SanDisk cards being killed in the Axon 7, so can't nail it down to a brand.
Mine was killed as well. It's a Samsung 64gb one. The 2nd one.
It killed my Samsung 64 GB one, and then it killed another replacement soon after.
This phone kill SD cards.
Does it do it on a specific firmware or all firmware? For reference, my SanDisk Ultra 128g card died on B11, now I am on B08 with a Samsung 16g as a temporary solution.
I don't believe it's a firmware issue, it might be outputting higher voltage or something like that. There's no way to find out why this happens really.
I think it's an encryption thing, because it wasn't doing it on custom roms. And it doesn't really break the card, it locks it out. But I just buy the same card, switch it in the car with the broken one. Go in and refund it. Kinda shady but it works.

That's breaking the card. When a block goes read-only it's because it's broken, since blocks only withstand a set amount of writes before that happens. Maybe a higher voltage does that, but I just don't know.
If it's true that stock is the problem, then maybe Android 8 will not have this issue, as it is not based in mifavor

Yeah it happened to me twice going back to stock from custom roms. And I say it's not really broken because I can still access all my files, but I can't add anything. I hope Oreo fixes that too.

i was just saying that it's normal for a broken SD card to display that behaviour. You lose the ability to write, but not necessarily to read.
I was just saying that in case you would still try to fix it. A backup and calling warranty (if possible) is the only way out

Yeah it's no use trying, I tried a lot of stuff, but I just went back to Walmart bought the same one, opened and switched it with the broken one. Went in and said it wasn't working, and got a refund.
I've been using my Patriot 200GB in the A7 for quite awhile, it's still kicking. Its been in 4 phones so far (lg v10, galaxy note 4, huawei honor 6x and now the A7. I don't use adoptable storage, and I take extra steps to ensure that encryption is disabled. But I'm using an AOSP ROM, not stock, so maybe that's why it works fine. I'm still waiting for a 500gb+ card, then I'll upgrade.
Mine died as well only after using it in my A7, luckily it was just a 32GB ADATA chip.

I think it's an encryption thing, because it wasn't doing it on custom roms. And it doesn't really break the card, it locks it out. But I just buy the same card, switch it in the car with the broken one. Go in and refund it. Kinda shady but it works.

Yes, my card is still under the SanDisk 5 years warranty but I do not want them to see the shady stuff that I cannot delete when I send it back to them!
An update, just 1 month later, a PNY 64GB also went funny. Videos stored on the card either became unplayable or are corrupted when playing it. Still can be written to on a computer. I did not save pictures to the card now as I am very worried about losing my pictures, so the card was used in the phone as a read only card. Really disappointed as this phone is perfect in all other aspects.
Hi,
Mine killed SD card also. 16 gb. It was long time in HTC phone, than put to Axon 7
and used for a month and written only once a backup.
Now the card totally dead, no accessible from the Axon or external card reader also.
Is the problem systematically happen when the micro SD is in adoptable mode?
