I have a problem with my scandisk 4gb sd card
Every time the phone access the card, like when downloading, watching a pic, browsing through file browser ect. It afterwards fail to read the card, and says "no files" until I reboot. In other words, the card can only be accessed one time pr boot
I've tried to reformat the card fat32 32kilobyte without any changes.
Any ideas whats wrong?

Have you tried to simply remove it from the slot and insert it again?
You can also try the app "SD Speed Increase" and set the cache to 4096kb (allowing the program to set it at the startup) and see if the card goes better...
I think that this problem appears when two or more programs try to access the SD or the phone requests information too fast. Is there a way (i speak to the developers) to reduce the accesses to the SD?
Yes, unmount/mount is as good as reboot.
I've just tried the app and it makes no difference :-(
The card works just fine on the computer, and I've tried the card in 3 phones and doesn't work on either of them. Its there different micro sdcards where only one type works on the phone?

Additional info.
With the sd speed app, the card is available a bit longer, it's now possible to download or delete two files before the error occurs.
I've tested the card in a 2.1 stock ROM and it works perfectly

Hi all. I've been doing some research on this for some time now, and I haven't been able to find anything of relevance.
I have a 32GB Kingston microSD card that my phone cannot read. I get the following error:
"Bank External SD card
SD card blank or has unsupported file system."
When I try to format it with my Galaxy [2.2 legit froyo], it will still not let me mount it. Now this SD card may be FAT32 or it maybe NTFS - I'm not too sure, but which ever one it is, my phone doesn't like!
I don't know how to access this memory card via my computer, I was wondering if there was a fix for this or if there was a program on the Market that will allow me to format back and forth with NFTS and FAT32 through my phone?
I've tried everything, whatever I do just does no work, so please don't be telling me to make sure I've put it in correctly or take it out and put it back in because they simply do not work.
Thanks in advance...
No? Bump... Please help me, I hate having no space on my phone!
Try using a card reader and see if shows up on the computer. Sd formatter has worked for me before to bring an unresponsive card back. Do a google for sd formatter.

How can I go about actually connecting my microSD to the computer..?
You will need an sd card reader and the adapter for the micro sd.
I formatted both internal and external cards and flashed a clean rom because the sd cards were full of crap and clutter but now when i try to use a file explorer it says '''SD CARD UNMOUNTED OR NOT PRESENT'''
I know its off formating the internal but what will make it recognise it again?

Have the same problem every noe and then. I wiped it a couple of times and it seems fine now.

Every other time I boot
I have this exactly every other time I boot. Always need to reboot twice in order to keep my SD Card working. No joke - had the same issue with two different cards.
the way i fixed it was to clear the data/cach in the manage applications on the es file manager or what ever file manager ur using
Suddenly my SD card stopped being recognized.
Cannot mount it, cannot format it under CWM recovery
I put in my laptop running Win 7 and I can see everything is on it. Still cannot format it even on Win 7. It says it is write protected.
Any ideas ?
Download Panasonic SD Formatter,
format with that.

Tried with Panansonic card formatter, but same message: Write protected !!
L.E.: Tried with another SD card .... everything is ok
The previous one is always reported as Write-protected no matter what I'm doing (valid while in Win7, 'cause the phone does not see it at all).
Anyway at least I still have my data on it and can read it on my laptop and transfer it on the other card.
If anyone has any idea on how to unblock the SD card will have a big THX from me
are you talking about an SD card or a MircoSD card?
*Some* SD cards come with a "lock" toggle on the card.
If you are using a standard SD card is the toggle in the lock position?

Talking about micro SD card, of course.
I know about that little lock toggle on the SD cards

Have you got it working yet? Since when did it stop working, and what did you do?

as stated in my first post, it stopped working suddenly, in the middle of the day.
It said "No SD card mounted" ... couldn't format it, nor re-mount it on the phone
I put it in my laptop running Win 7 and I could see all the data inside, can copy it, but cannot delete anything because it says it is write-protected.
Resolution ? changed the card with a new one .....then I just copied part of the data from the old one to new card.
Alright, that's weird, I hope no one else has this problem
I would hate this to happen to me, I bought a faster sdcard

You could try formatting it using diskpart in windows 7 or gparted in Linux

since I already bought a new card, which is working, and the old one still can access it's data, I see no reason to try and format it now.
At least knowing that it is blocked as write protected I'm sure that nothing can delete the data stored on it :laugh:
ok, so my microsd card is a samsung 64gb hc/hx? Computer says HX, microsd card says HC... class 10.
I've been putting music on it etc, then when reboot my phone, it like restores to an older stage, files will delete themselves, folders i deleted reappear and the new music is gone etc.. I do it again, same thing happens. Its extremely frustrating.
I notice ill put an apk on there, the icon changes, and it wont open the apk also.
Ive formatted my sd card on both computer and on the phone but the problem remains...
Here an image of a zip when trying to open, it was recently put on the sd and opened fine before rebooting.

Same problem here. Any solution?
Are you doing this from the phone? Are you on KK?
If so you need to Google "third party write to sd card restrictions on KitKat "
The solution is to root and apply the write to sd card fix

Root and fix done. The same thing happens if I copy files from pc to micro sd. When I put micro sd in the phone, directory and files above 8/10gb disappear.
You have a broken or dodgy sd card then.
I bought a 64 gig card of eBay write cheap but it was really a 4 gig card formatted to look like a 64 gig one...

Hi all.
The sd card on my s3 lte failed. I managed to copy most of the contents onto my pc but lost all my photos and vids. When I copied the folders onto my new card I found it was 10gb full (16gb card). The main culprit is a file called languages which is 7.58gb.
What is this file?
I thought if it was languages for the phone then it would be on the phone, not the sd card.
Can I just delete it?
My phone seems to work fine without the sd card in...apart from the apps on the card.
Thanks
Matt

by ''new card'' do you mean its never been used untill now? or already used with current device or some other device?
im not sure but, if you had used this ''new card'' already, it could be that these languages belong to an app you used or are still using, for example like maybe a keyboard app (storing languages/predictions/data history) or navigation app. anyway if you say that the phone seems to work fine without it and your apps also then there should be no issues deleting this languages file. probably left on the card from an app that you dont use anymore..
