Hi all.I recently bought xperia V few days ago, then upgrade to JB and root it.
Afterwards I found that the external SDcard, SanDisk 32gig, class 10 performed quite poorly. I can't copy from internal memory to it without it crashing.
I had then reflash stock JB rom. But the problem still persists. Try the SD card in xperia tipo and Samsung gio, in both phone the SD card worked perfectly. Just not in the V.
Is anyone else having this problem or us it just me?

Sorry, its not sandisk, but branded as DNA. Anyway i try both class 4 kingston 8 & 16 gig and it work fine in xperia V.
So now to eliminate the problem, it down to
1) the brand sucks, but it does work in x xperia tipo
2) its a jellybean problem.
3) my phone cant use anymore than class 4 type
4) my phone cant use anymore than 16 gig flash memory

Did you try mount and unmount the sd card from the device ?
are you using .490 firmware ? you could try flashing .492 firmware
Try to format sd card in phone or in recovery
I'm using Transcend 32GB class 10.
The seller told me that Sandisk Ultra Mobile performs poorly these day, so he recommend me transcend though transcend is a little bit cheaper .
I have mount sdcard as sdcard0, now I'm happy with it . Using Xperia V stock JB
Well the common way is, format it in phone. if the problem still persists, try another card on phone, if it works well than its a card problem not phone.then go to your dealer, claim warranty, get a new one.

Thanks u guys. I had exchanged the card twice. Having a hard time so I put the 32gig class 10 in xperia tipo and it work flawlessly.
I had put xperia tipo, Kingston 16gig class 4 in xperia V and it work flawlessly too
Probably it's my phone which can't read more than 16 gig Sd card. I will try latter to flash ics and jb 492 before going back to the shop.

Ok so i bought this verbatim microSD 16gb class4...at first it worked fine on my xperia x8...but today it just decided to not be located at all...
On my pc the card is working properly with the card reader and i tried another sd on my x8, and it worked too..but the 16gb still wont be located...i tried everything from formating it to reboot etc...i tried the 16gb one on a x10mini but no luck either...
any recommendations?
oh and the shop said that they cant do anything cause this maybe my fault
Please help...
I had the same problem with 8gb class 4.
I did like what you did.
Finally it didn't work, I returnd it back to the store.
What I understood is: class 4 sd cards are not working on our x8.
because I asked the guys here and they were answering that they have a working sd cards on x8 but with classes like 2,8,10 not 4!

1Fawwaz thnx for your reply
but i could use it for about 2-3 days...and the same happened with an 8gb card but i dont remember of what class..
any ideas anyone?
[UPDATE]
After many experiments i found out that my card was working with thsd card adapter that SE provided once...the one that is like a usb stick...but with a MicroSD to SD adapter,my card wont be located by my pc...
[UPDATE 2]
The card is working fine on my sony ericsson yari.
also i read through the forum that others are using class 4 and its fine..so i cant see why mine wont work...come on guys..you have fixed far more complicated issues...

If the adapter you refer to is really a mSD to SD adapter then your PC would do the right thing(TM). To read a mSD you need a MicroSD to SDHC (<--!!!!) adapter.
SD, SDHC and SDXC are three totally different standards not really compatible to each other.

Then there you have your confirmation that the card is actually working.
If the X8 and X10 is refusing the card, then you may have hit a incompatibility (EDIT: that's why it is important to either straighten it out with the dealership that you can return the card in case it doesn't work or that you can try the card right there in front of the eyes of the shop dude). The only way would be to swap the card with one of another brand (like Kingston or SanDisk ... I wouldn't buy Verbatim crap).
In theory the X8 should be able to accept mSD's up to 32GB.

True, I used a 8GB Kingston Class 4 mSD with my X8 - worked flawlessly.
thnx for your reply..
my card was working in the begining..so im not sure if this is really an incompatibility...

Question is ...
- If you're running a custom ROM ... you tried another one?
- If you're running Stock ... you tried a custom ROM?
Also ... try putting the card into a _working_ mSD adapter and ERASE the partition that's on it. Then "Safely remove" the card reader / card from your PC and put the EMPTY (unpartitioned) card back into the phone. From there you have two options you can try ...
1. Try to partition and format (FAT32) the card in ClockworkMod recovery and see if it works now.
2. Boot up Android and format the card through Android (I think it's "Memory and Storage" in "Settings")
I tried with both stock and GingerDX...same result...im going to try this and post reply in some minutes..
nothing....i tried to partition with CWM..no luck....
I partitioned it with Partition Wizard..no luck again...
pfff...why it just denies to locate it?i was working just fine :S
I take CWM actually recognized the card even at its correct size.
The last thing you can do now is to look through logcat to see if the log holds any hints about why the card isn't recognized/mounted.
You better do that through adb as it's a medium pain in the rear to do that in the Terminal Emulator on the phone.
If you find something that could be related to the issue at hand post it here; maybe the error message carries something that would give a clue.
hi all ,when i 1st used a rom (any rom )there must be a friggin ton of problem ..so when i updated to GDX v21 i expected trouble, so yes it's a little buggy but i fixed / the problem just went away ..so theres just one problem which is a true , but then this problem is just presistant and i can't fix it ...=( so heres's the problem , the sd(8GB class 10 ) in my phone will say it's damage please format , so i did , but then the whole phone restarts without fixing the problem , so i tried 2 more sd card a 2gb class 6 and a 8gb class 10(?) micro SD card they all started fine but then it encountered the same problem , i faced this problem a week ago and i cant fix it , yesterday the memory was abler to be read and then today it says SD card error again.WTF??? i tried factory reset but it's still there use CWM and wipe dalvik and battery stats , no resolve i cant flash cause my sd card is dead , imma using PCC to flash my phone later but is it cause of SD card problem or isit my phone sd card reader is buggy?
details
-SE w8
-GDX v21
-MIcro SD 8GB class 10
-problem -SD card unable to read (says SD card is damaged) tried 3 diff sd card but all same
-well maybe a little off topic but my DSP manager seems to lags the phone badly when i turn on equalizer for speaker
Is your sd card kingston? I have the same problem, and found out that there is a compatibility problem with kingston 8gb.
SE claims to have solved it with an update but this is for stock rom users. So not me. I don't know if anything can be done and if any of our fantastic (slurp slurp) developers could help.

Not able to confirm again ...
There's a 8GB Kingston Class 4 in my X8 which is working perfectly fine since the last 7 months (GDX v021 on Stock Kernel).
However, as there's been another one posting about SD card problems who also has a Class 10 mSD ... I would rather say the phone seems to have a problem with Class 10 Micro SD cards ... given my Class 4 and some Class 6 (if you search the X8 section) work flawlessly.

so i tried 2 more sd card a 2gb class 6 and a 8gb class 10(?)

The 2GB Class 6 _should_ work, given we have some posts around where people use a Class 6 mSD successfully.
But, as I said above, I would be cautious with Class 10 mSD's as there not only yours which gives trouble.
for some reason my phone is a magnet for trouble ...
I spoke to the guy that sold me the card and he told me to go by the store and try with either a kingston 8gb class 4 or an apacer 16gb class10 (that's what he has in store). I guess i'll try the kingston but i'll be away for a week so I'll have answers next week.

Same here mate. Perhaps we shouls start a club.
haha yea...we are really poor souls =(
damn it i tried my sister's sd card ( just to confirm my problem ) i connect it to pc and all is fine ...then i click turn off usb storage and it says blank sd card ...i guess i cant confirm it's the hardware problem
Just as a related note now that I checked back...
The other guy who had about the same SD card problems was using a Verbatim 16GB Class 4. Seems as the X8/W8 is somewhat picky when it comes to the brand (manufacturer) of a SD card and the related class.
As I wrote in that post - either try the card in your phone right there in the shop (if the clerk agrees to it) or strike a deal that you can return the card in case you have severe troubles due to compatibility issues.
as always thanks BJ! you helped me so many times! so yeah i called my dad to send it to the repairman but i doubt it's the sd card problem since the other 2 i tried also failed to read ...it could initially until i restart the phone or connect it to usb then it will get the warning..i suspect its the hardware problem

Hello XDAians..
So, basically, something is wrong with my SD Card after partitioning using Swapper..
Now, my phone doesn't even read my SD Card. You can't go through files, etc.
I know the problem is not the ROM nor the PHONE.. because my phone reads my brother's SD Card which is the same class, space & type..
I can't format because MiniPartition tool also doesn't recognize my SD Card.. Help?
My SD Card is a Class 2, 8GB, MicroSDHC.
Please help. I really need my SD Card to install new ROMS and MODS..
Have you tried CWM built in
It also doesn't read anything

Try it in a computer. That doesn't work, it's fried. I had that with a 16GB PNY card. My current Samsung works fine no matter what I do

The thing is, I don't have an adapter for the SD Card..
If it isn't working in cwm then you only have to find a adapter and partition again...
I got the same, after I deleted swap it solved

Mini tool partition is the best...
Use it and delete swap
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2
hmm if you swaps, i recommend u use a class 6 or higher to lower risk
please use class 2 sd class
maybe you can use card reader to check it..is it still FAT format or not
then try to fix it or something else like repair your sdcard
and turn on your phone WITHOUT sdcard
last, turn it on again WITH sdcard
Pls I need to know which class of sdcard works best with mi410, I had a transcend 16gig class 4 but I frequently experienced freezing n boot loops until I take out d card m let the phone boot completely before putting it back.
But its been working fine with my class 4 Samsung 4gig sdcard, but its way too small so I decided to purchase a scandisk class 4 16gig cos I thought the transcend was faulty which I tried with other phones n its working perfectly, but this scandisk is giving the same prob as the transcend n its brand new.
So I want to know if our phone has a particular class of sdcard it works with or what's actually wrong.
The problem I experience are freezing and random reboots which most times gets stuck in a boot loop, I usually have to take out battery n memory card n then reboot n wait until its done before putting the card back in.
Please any advice or idea is welcomed
maybe
maybe our device is not capable to read 16gb sd cards. i only have 8gb and i don't see any problem. are you in a custom rom or in a stock rom?
I am using class 10 16 Gig card and I am not facing any problem like freezing, not booting or random reboot.
But I don't think it is related to class of memory card, check with some stable ROM..... which has no reboot problem.. may be then only decide to go get new card

I think everyones know about this mounting problem for sg i9000 user since update to JB..it would be great for those never had this problem since upgrade to jb but not for me having this problem..currently,i'm using kingston 16gb class 10 sd card on my i9000.i don't know this could happen because after upgrade to jb,my sd card showing blank sd card on notification bar and not supported something like that.i try to format it through my phone also doesn't work.i've been try other methods to solved it including partition my sd card but,result is still the same:crying:.and today i try to use my other sd card kingston 8gb class 4 and it working on my phone..i don't know why this could happen to my 16gb class 10 which more standard than 8gb class 4..anyones can help me to solved this?plz...
nope, i also got da problem recently, dont know da cause but changing sd was da method, as for me, any 16gb any class (tried 15 different sd with same value) but dont detect on phone, change to any 8gb or 32gb, working perfectly, tried adb, usb debug, partitioning (pc n cwm), formatting n lastly hit it with hammer , n still not detecting on fone. try any option available on xda n even LvL format not working. so i decide to buy a new 32gb for my fone.

Thanks anyway for ur advise and suggestion..for me,i believe our developers will solved this problem matter how.this cannot be because of the value of memory card i think,just like what u said try with different class.because when i was on ics before,my sd card working without any problem.the problem is maybe the android system for this model smartphone.or could this happen because of my memory card still on r/w protection?huh...i'm still looking for this solution.i won't waste my money again to buy new sd card.
