weird sdcard problem - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rather weird problem tho is that when I copy videos on the card, it wont play on my XZ the first time I insert the card, so I put it back in the card reader in the laptop, played every videos from start, and skip to the last minute, still plays, so no problem with sdcard, that 8gb videos, put back in to phone, and the videos now all plays perfect, wonder why that is.... this is with the 64gb sdxc

[Q] MicroSD problem: card becomes unavailable

I use a Nexus One, 2.3.3 (GRI40) by OTA, no root or custom firmware.
I bought a 16GB Class 4 SanDisk MicroSD from eBay. Everything works fine, but when I listen my music (mp3s from the card) after about 15 minutes the problem appears:
the player stops in the middle of the track, skips all the next mp3s saying the files cannot be open. None of the applications installed on the card can run. I reboot.
OR
the player stops in the middle of the track. Screen cannot be turned on, though the buttons below it are highlighted when I press the power button. Reinserting the battery does the reboot.
After reboot everything either works fine or I get the "Preparing SD card, checking for errors" message (I remove it by Recovery/Wipe cache).
I tried formatting the card with different cluster sizes with no effect (the phone didn't accept the 4KB size, only 8-64 KB).
Ok, I bought a Kingston 16GB Class 4 MicroSD from J&R. The same thing happens with it, maybe a little less often.
No other applications using the Card caused the problem. The music player can be installed on Card or not (Astro, Winamp, stock Android Music) with no difference.
The stock 4GB class 2 SanDisk card with 32KB cluster has no such problems.
Is there a special formatting utility that N1 would prefer? Some other solution?

Problem with walkman crashing

Im not sure if this is a a problem with the phone or the sd card I just installed. Im running on the latest firmware on the xperia T with a Class 10 32gb Sandisk. I've been trying to play my music off from the sd card but it will probably last about less than 10 mins till the music stops playing. The only way to get it to work again would be removing and putting back in the sd card or hard restarting the phone. Also I've notice that my phone is slower than usual when returning to the homescreen. Anyone know what the problem is?
It's probably because of some corrupted music file.
Try to delete all music from SD card, copy there just one music album and try it again. If it happens again, try different album.

[Q] Camera shutter lag with microSD

I'm having this weird problem with the first photo I take with my Lumia 620 takes around 2/4 seconds to be saved if I'm using an microSD card. I've seen in other forums that this happens to any Lumia phone and even HTC ones with micorSD so it's a WP8 problem rather than a specific model of phone or card. I'm using a 16Gb Sandisk Ultra Class 10 UHS-1
Let me explain step by step:
1. Pick up the phone after a couple of minutes of inactivity, it seems like the microSD times out because this problem doesn't happen if you lock and unlock the phone straight away.
2. Open the camera app, focus the photo, and press the shutter button.
3. The phone won't take the photo, it will continue to act like nothing was pressed for another 3 to 4 seconds.
4. The photo is finally taken, in whatever position the phone is now, so the photo is not stored in any buffer or anything like that.
5. Any photo after that is instantaneous.
This problem happens as long as you have the microSD on the phone. Even if you set the phone to save the images in the internal memory, the first photo will continue to lag. Remove the SD card and everything is fine again.
What I've found out is that formatting the microSD as exFAT with 64kb clusters helps with this problem, however it doesn't disappear, it's only reduced.
I know there's other people with this problem, my question is, has anyone found out a way to fix this (other that removing the microSD card)?
P.S.: Yes, I've formatted the card, reset the camera, restored the phone to factory settings and tested with an empty card.

I have exactrly the same problem with my Nokia Lumia 620 Still hoping to get a solituion...
my Lumia had big problems with exFat, including the lag when taking pictures (even worse with videos). Converting it to fat32 and then reformatting it with the phone fixed it for me.
Same problem here... Thanks for the tip about exFat.
A related question: how does the music player fares for you with songs on microSD?
Because mine behaves very badly, with lots of duplicate songs. Do you think the two problems can be related?

I don't know, this problems seems to come in randomly. After formatting the card, it's gone for a time.. I've tried only using ONE tool to put music on it (in my case, the explorer) and it seems to work. Other people at wpcentral have reported this also, the phone seems to have a problem with music synced from more than one program. It was the same for me, I dropped the music in via Explorer and then added an album via Windos media player, and I directly got multiple duplicates..

SD card issues

Anyone have any issues with micro SD cards on their Z1?
I only have music on there currently (64gb sandisk card) and every now and then certain songs disappear from my music players.
I also tried saving photos to the card, first couple worked fine then it came up with an error saying it can't save so I put it back to internal storage. Now randomly, two or three days later, it has deleted the photos that were on the sd card while it was charging overnight.
That normally happens with fake SD cards...are you sure its a legitmate 64GB card?
Pretty sure, had no issues fitting around 45gb of music on there.
I'll try another one and see if it still has issues

Yes, ive had two incidents since going to .257 update.
1) Sandisk 32GB card (bought from Amazon itself not a reseller) was showing up with error on notification bar. I had to reformat it to get it to work again
2) I took a photo today and I got "Memory error", I had to swap to internal storage. I took out the SD card and put it back in again, and then all that was on it was the default folders created by Android.
My card is deffo genuine, I am convinced this is a software fault with the Z1

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.
