Hello everyone, dire need of help here!
I got a new Micro SD card 64 GB Strontium for the phone and formatted it to use as Internal Memory - all previous phones I have been using SD card as portable storage, this is the first time I am using it as internal memory.
It worked fine for 2 days but suddenly yesterday all the photographs folders disappeared from the Gallery app (DCIM folder). I restarted the phone a couple of times but no luck - first some thumbnails disappeared, and then the entire folder!
Since this morning, the phone get restarted continuously, non-stop, while the SC card is inside the phone. If I remove the SD card, the phone works normally. So I am unable to use phone when SD card is inside - unable to copy all the files from the SD card onto a laptop even since the phone restarts before I can do anything on the connected laptop.
What do you think is the problem? How to resolve it?
How to recover all the pics and files on the SD card if I have to format it?

I would try to recover pics by mounting SD-CARD on PC. I've had SD-CARDs go bad a few times.

Hello everybody, I'm new here and I'm having a strange problem with my Hermes.
Sometime ago I downloaded the slide2unlock cab and installed it. Then I removed it for some reason. Last week I inserted my sd in the computer and it asked me to format the card. There was no way to get into the sd and I lost all my data.
Now, after having formatted my sd, the device is continually hanging and when I put it in standby it always turns on automatically. Most of the times it also doesn't recognize the sd card and I have to reboot.
Can anyone help me, please?
Did you reformat the sd card FAT32? Its the preferred format but they seem to come formatted FAT by default.
Check to see if the sd card is still being detected by the PC, if it isn't then its time to get a new sd card.
Had you installed any apps on the sd card that might be causing problems.
Not from the sd card but I have had apps that, though I'd installed to the sd card, had installed the exe file onto my Hermes and a heap of data files onto the card.
Otherwise, might be time for a Hard reset...
Tanks for the fast answer. The sd card is formatted to FAT (not FAT32) and now is working in the computer.
Regarding programs installed in the sd, the problem could be exactly the slide2unlock, but I've removed it sometimes ago.
Only other thing to do wopuld be to do a hard reset. !st backup up your contacts to the sd card with spb backup(has a demo of 5 backup/re-installs). Needs to registered but you can at least backup contacts and messages then re-install after HR.
Hard reset should fix all your problems.
Cheers...
I am running a HTC Touch HD with a 8gb microSD memory card, i was watching a movie on it when it suddenly froze. Done a soft reset and found that the storage card to be empty and all programs which were installed to the mem card are also gone. However Start > Settings > Memory > Storage Card, shows 7.2gb used 700free meaning that the data is still there but the phone will not read it for some reason. I have been doing some research and have found that a lot of people have had the same problem but have not as yet posted a solution
All threads i found on this topic are from 2008-earlier and i was wondering if anybody has found a fix for this yet or whether i'll have to format the storage card completely as the computer on which i made the back-up for the card was also formatted last week in which case ill have to download all the data and programs again.
Thanks in advance
I have a similar issue, I had my Touch HD connected to the PC using the 'Disk Drive' option and accessing some files on the SD card whilst TomTom was running. I unplugged my device and TomTom complained about missing files then the app would not start again, I could not see the SD card after this on the device or my PC SD card slot so I restarted the PC and the phone.
I could then see the files on my SD card, and I could see the files on my device but it is now appearing as Storage Card 2, I had to reinstall my apps to this new location to get them working as I could not get the SD card to show as Storage Card, and there is already a Storage Card showing as well as Storage Card 2.
Weird!!!
My phone has lost the ability to write to the sd card. The card is recognized and I can view photos and any files already on the card, but the system won't write to the card. Everything was working fine up to a couple of days ago, then I suddenly got a message in the camera app that sd card storage could not be accessed. I can write to the card if I access it via card reader on my PC. Any suggestions?

Make sure you still have space left. Cause that happened to me but only because I had like less than 100 MB left so I just moved a bunch of crap (pics/Videos/etc) to my ext SD Card and everything was good to go. If that is not the case... it's gonna suck but try: going into recovery and wiping system/cache/dalvik cache/data. If THAT doesn't work then you may wanna go to the closest Sprint store.
Hello
About 12hrs ago, everything on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone was working perfectly fine.
I was using my camera to record a video when the playblack crashed and the phone suddenly did a restart. When the phone booted back up again, the phone could no longer read the SD Card. I did several restarts and took out the SD Card and put it back in again and still the phone refuses to see the SD Card.
I know the problem ISN'T the SD Card because when I put the SD card into an adapter and plug it into my computer, the computer can read and see everything on the card.
Any one else have this problem and know how to solve it?
My phone isn't rooted or hacked
Thanks!

-Go to setting/storage and check what is the status for the external SD. May be it is not mounted.
- second check if you get any other SD card to test the phone behavior with it.

Save your SD card content to your computer and reformat it direct from the phone. If it is successful revert back the data et voilà!
if not Ok it is something wrong with the memory card itself...
I have similar problem. Two days ago suddenly I got message SD card unexpected removed. That puzzled me because I didn't touch SD card at all. Turned phone off and on and seemed to be ok since yesterday. I had SD card removed message again and phone doesn't see any card anymore. I tried bunch of SD cards and no luck. Reset my phone, reinstalled firmware and still nothing. Opened even my phone check sim and SD card board connector.
All my SD card tested, formatted on PC. Any ideas?
Hi there,
I have installed SD Card in Nokia 5 and selected as "internal storage" and moved as many apps as possible in SD card. But when I tried to access SD Card through builtin file explorer "Files" and self installed "ASUS File Manager", the card is not visible. I have connected phone with laptop, it also do not show the card. It only show 16 GB of mobile storage. I am unable to copy any data in the card. Not even all the apps can be moved to card as well.
Is there any way, I can access SD Card for normal data storage and movement while SD Card is selected as Internal Storage. Any expertise please?
Hi bro,
Same thing for me, and I have made a Software Reset, so I lost the decryption key for SD, so my 16GB SanDisk SD card can't be shown on any devices or PC (Running Windows or Linux). My advice, is to format the SD as media device and move what you want.
Nokia definitely has a problem with this feature, I, tried to format my 32GB Transcend 300X card as internal and it stucked and rebooted itself, leaving me with an unusable card. I bought a new one and set it as a portable. Nokia recommends card with read speed above 80mb/s, so I got one with 95mb/s but you can still feel the lag sometimes...

Hi, My SD card on Nokia 5 suddenly stooped being recognized one day and all my apps and data was lost. I switched off the phone and reinserted the card, but no use. Then I took the card for recovery with a data recovery company. They called and told me that all they can see on my SD card is garbage and it could be encrypted or its logical drive could have completely been wiped. I had encrypted my phone but I haven't encrypted my card. Any pointers on what should I do next? The data is very precious to me and I need to recover it.
This is a SanDisk SD card 64 Gb, class 10 used with a Nokia 5 with Android 9 version

Same situation same SD Card here.
After throwing away the unusable card I am using a Trancsend 64GiB card as internal. The phone takes a whole lot of time to properly boot the SD Card after rebooting. Also sometimes the phone says SD Card as corrupted then everyone will choose to reboot but after rebooting the phone temporarily dies. No command, no charging animation (temporarily brick), I faced this twice. After an hour I plugged it to charger again then it showed up that it's still alive...
