External SD Card Damaged - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So after a reboot of installing the JV6 modem a notification popped up saying External SD Card Damaged. I rebooted and the notification went away but won't play any music. It said, unsupported file for every song. Even though I've played those songs hundreds of times!
It says in the notification, "Blank SD Card or has unsupported filesystem". I tried formatting it and no dice. It also won't mount it just gets stuck at saying, "Mount in progress".
Any ideas?

Have you tried putting a new or different sd card in, just to rule out the possibility of having a bad card (kinda rare tho)? The flash of the modem may have screwed up the file system on the card tho usually it never messes with the ext sd. You said you reformatted it, was that from the phone or computer? And what format are you using for your music?

Unfortunately (for me at least) having a micro sd card go bad of not that rare. I have had 2 of them go bad exactly as you described. Found out that one was a fake....it did work for a week though. The other was legit and twice did the same thing yours is doing probably 6 months from one incident to the other. Both times it magically started working again. The third time it happened I was a little fed up and broke it in half. It had lasted 4 years though. To sum it up though I did not ever find out what was wrong or how top fix it...just my related story.

Damaged SD Card

[Q] SD Flashed itself?
OK so, not quite sure what happened with my SD card today but it pretty much flashed itself and gone done broken the format for my apps2sd.
I was heavily using my phone today for gps and what not by driving around from garage sale to garbage sale with my ole lady. anyways, i noticed that my ringtones werent the same at about half way through, but i didnt think anything of it and kept on going. i got home later, still was doing it, so i went to terminal:
su
reboot
rebooted. when it came up it said my card was damaged and cant be used......is there anyway way to restore it or recover information off it?
edit: yes i still have root. no the card isnt readable in windows but my mac ID's it but cant do anythign with it.
Well i really don't know how or when this happened but my phone now says "Damaged SD card" under my notifications and i can't access my card anymore. I have tried pulling it out and putting it back in, resetting my phone, and mounting to my computer but it never reads. I know formatting the card would restore it but i don't want to lose my pictures, music, and files that i had stored on it. I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem and knows how to solve it... Thanks!!

apps2sd problem: keeps resetting

i just flashed to cyanogen stable mod a couple days ago and tried apps2sd for the first time, it worked fine for a couple days, and today for no reason the phone resets itself or just turns off. btw im using the stock 1gig stick
bump/update, it keeps resetting randomly and once and a while ill see, unexpected removal of sd card, could my sd card be bad? iv seen this error before and it makes sense that now with apps2sd it keeps resetting
I had an issue like this... it was more so what seemed like random freezes, though. I actually used to have the same issue with the microSD card I used with my nintendo DS rom cart, too. lol. Sometimes it would boot saying no cartridge was found, or the cart would boot saying no SD card was found. I've found that clicking the SD card in and out a couple times usually fixes it. If that don't work, looks like the SD card you have is going bad. Sounds like a good time for an upgrade.
I was just thinking as well... I don't know if you've used apps2sd before, but I would suggest, if you don't mind reinstalling apps and losing any of your settings, doing a wipe/factory reset in recovery mode, followed by dropping to the console and "rm -r *" your /system/sd. If you're having issues after that, it's gotta be the SD card.

Transferring Files (movies/music) TO SD Card Issue

I have a brand new rooted BN Nook Color. I did not do the rooting and install, but here is what I know. It is installed on the internal memory and from what I can tell the SD Card is holding App info and whatever movies/music I can get moved...which is absolute luck when it happens.
So here is what happens, I drag and drop a file to the mounted SD card and it begins to transfer. At some point in the transfer it will error out and stop the transfer. Now, I have had some luck...I just keep banging away and eventually I might 1 or 2 over there in a 4-5 hour period.
Here is the weird part, I thought maybe it was the source file on my Windows 7 box....so I decided to drop it in the internal memory, and it worked. So i figured I would just move it to the SD card via file manager on the Nook...nope it causes a force close.
Now as I stated I have had a few make it over, that was luck I believe because I have had the ones that made it over also fail a dozen or more times at some point. I have tried it mounted in the Nook and have tried it actually in the PC, multiple PC's....same thing everytime.
SD Card Issue???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(FIXED) "CHECK BATTERY COVER" AND "SD CARD IS REMOVED" issues.

(FIXED) "CHECK BATTERY COVER" AND "SD CARD IS REMOVED" issues.
Hello everyone. I getting some problems on my S5 mini G800F .
When I bought it, worked perfectly, but then some days later a very annoying "Check battery cover" popup is coming up, when I restart and when I wake up and unlock my phone. And it got even worse. When I woke up my device, it comes with that annoying msg but it stands for 2 seconds and U CAN'T CLOSE IT! I PRESSED FOR 5 MINUTES STILL IT DONT GO. I FIGURED OUT THAT ONLY WHEN I PRESS MULTITASKING OR HOME BUTTON STOPS THIS. ONLY FOR THIS TIME. Then week later, a "SD card is removed" error comes up . I formatted it on my phone. What is the problem of this? :what:
EDIT: RESTARTED MY DEVICE. AND I GET ON BLACK BACKGROUND POPUP "CHECK BTR COVER" AND U PRESS AND IT DONT GO. BUT IF I PRESS HOME IT GOES AWAY BUT TOUCHWIZ LOADS LIKE IT WAS CRASHED OR JUST STOPPED. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY DEVICE??
______________________________________________
I FIXED IT, I DIDN'T DELETE MY POSTS TO SHOW OTHER PEOPLE HOW TO REPAIR THIS ANNOYING THING.
G800H here, almost same thing since I installed a 64Gb SD card, but mine says "damaged SD card" instead and both are cured rebooting......till the next wake up....
I just read some forums, other people have this problem too. And on S5. Maybe we have to go with Samsung's SD cards...
There's an update for my device.... I was running G800FXXU1ANL1 now update is FXXU1AOG2 ... NOT ANDROID 5... Maybe update is to prepare software for 5.... Only changed clock a little bit and updated GAPPS... very cool update from samsung...
The update fixed the batt cover and sd problems?
Card was dead, not a phone problem
Nope....
But I realised that "empty sd card" is showing so long on my phone.... so i connected my SD card to my tab, it started to show "empty sd card" too!
I formatted it, but i think it failed because it formatted too fast and it don't fix "empty SD card" error. So, I connected it to my PC, taken 2 minutes to detect it. Then, Windows said "You have to format D: to continue".... but it detected only 31MB out of4GB(4GB Sandisk), and Windows failed to format, too... I tried format with NTFS, exFAT and FAT, doesn't work... I tried to recover it, but I failed... R.I.P. 4GB SanDisk. Hello, Healthy Phone!
Without SD Card, it fixed all problems that I had!
EDIT: It was 4GB SanDisk Class 4, I readed in other forums, that it doesn't show any problems if you have Class 10 SD Card..
Update after about three months, I have Samsung 64GB Class 10 card with 90mb/s reading and 80mb/s writing speeds.
No issues AT ALL. But sometimes after restarting my device, it shows this. I think it's normal.

SD Card formatted as internal storage randomly unusable on cm13

I love marshmallow's adoptable storage feature, allowing me to install more apps. This feature worked beautifully for about a month and a half. However, I shut down the device, plugged it in to charge, went to sleep, and the next morning, the apps that were moved to the sd card were not available anymore. They were all greyed out on my launcher(Nova). I moved about 4 gigs worth of mostly games. Fortunately, most of them had cloud storage, but some favorite games didnt. This isn't that big of a problem, but I'd like to try to fix it. So, I went here for help.
At first, I thought the class 10 SanDisk 16gb sd had just gotten bumped out of the slot where the connections happen, so I opened the back cover and removed and inserted the sd card. The notification that prompted me to put the sd back in went away for a few seconds, but then came back. I repeated the process of removing and inserting the sd a few times, but still no moved apps were available. I put the sd into an adapter, then into my laptop, and it showed on file explorer. So the sd card could still be recognized, but maybe unusable.
I dont know what happened, one day it was working, the next day it wasn't. I know i formatted it as internal and portable storage a few times, so maybe that wore it out. I'm running cm13
Hello,
On my phone I used the micro SD card normally as external storage. On day I plugged in my headphones and there was no music. I though that the micro SD card must have come out. However, reinserted it it didn't work. I wouldn't open on computer either. While I don't have a solution, I am pretty sure I also had the same problem.
Once I was taking pictures with my phone when it crashed and rebooted. Some hours before the crash I uninstalled some apps and installed some others (but never rebooted the phone). After the phone started again after the crash, all the pictures and files were gone, the uninstalled apps were there as if I've never uninstalled them and the new installed ones dissapeared.

how long have you used your sd card? i'm sure that the more you use a micro sd card, the more it will wear out and become unuseable/corrupted. That has happened to me before, where the sd card just stopped working.

I have used it for about 1 year. So it may be that but, it has never occurred before.
Same problem here, you can read it here. While I am writing hopefully my files from Titanium Backup are transfered to my laptop. It got worse and worse, in my opinion the sd-card has reached it's end of life because of it's heavy usage. Error occured the first time after the phone got really hot recording gpx tracks. Bye bye sd-card
Another opinion is that warranty is over after two years, so the phone can quit it's duty now - obsolescense plans

yeah, i'm starting to think my micro sd just bailed from wear like that too, but i got to use mine for just over 3 months. i ejected the sd and put it into my computer, and interestingly enough, on my computer it reads 16 megabytes. i was like WAAT that cant be, i formatted it, put it back in my phone as portable, and it read as the normal 14gb. i'm starting to think my sd as internal is the cause of my random reboots. im even running the lastest cm13 update too...
i guess ill try and use my sd as just portable storage from now on, and see if i get any random reboots..
I switched to TurboROM which is using the sd-card as a portable media device, so no more encryption, heavy usage and complete data loss if you do not get your encryption key with root permission.
System space left after complete recovery of my apps with TB is quite nice - but you do not have the possibility to use App2SD (correct me if I am wrong).
So the only way to save internal system space is to move pictures, movies and heavy openstreetmap cards to external.
