Hello!
We have two phones here N7000:
Mine running Slimbean version 4.2.2.build8-OFFICIAL.
Another one (the one with the problems) running Samsung rom version 4.1.2 Baseband N7000XLT3 version number JZO54K.N7000XXLT5
My SDcard is Transcend Class 10 32 GB SDHCi, the other one has Sandisk 32GB Class 4 SDHC.
There are a few weird sympthoms I cant explain and was unable to fix:
When booting phone 2 (with the problem), it works on the first attempt, but after a second reboot - it automatically says in notification bar, that the external card can be removed - there is no option to remount it, or any indication why has it been removed.
If we insert the Class 4 microSD with the problem into adapter and into PC, it asks to format it. If we format it, the card works on the PC, but on the phone, after a second reboot - the notification pops up anyway and the card becomes unusable.
When we switch cards, and insert my Sandinsk Class 10 card into the phone 2, it worked for only the first boot - on second reboot, the notification about ejected card appears again.
His card on MY phone (number 1) - I was able to write some test,txt file and put content in it - but on the PC, the test file appears to be 0 bytes sized, and I cant even write to it...
When we switch cards back ,my phone no longer shows the external card's content.... I am not sure why, could it possibly be some virus formatting cards on the other phone? unlikely however...
These are all the sympthoms we have, and I have no idea what to make of them... please help
Could it be some kind of phone virus, toying with the external cards? something else?

On my computer it's fine. I just want to listen to my music. Damaged or not.
What causes Damaged SD cards?
Try to reformat it and see if it works. There are several things that can cause a card to go bad.
I have and just spent countless hours getting music on the card and I downloaded an .apk when I got error (Installed and worked fine) then just got error.
How to safe me from these from happening again?
All my apps are gone due to app2sd bummer

Just do what you always prolly do. Just make sure to unmount before you disconnect. Sometimes the cards can just go bad. Just make sure to get a name brand card and get a class 6 (you don't have to). It was prolly just a fluke.
Sandisk 8gb class 2 I do unmount error for past 3 months. Know I can't get back my apps2sd to rework after I did a format.
How did you format it? In the phone from UI? If so then it erased your ext partition.
Look in HERE for good guide on how to check what partitions do you have and to format and repartition.
Good luck
If your running swapper, you need to turn it off before mounting. Thats the main cause if its not actually damaged.
I had that happen to me when I tried using Apps 2 SD 2. It said it corrupted my SD, and when ever I tried to unmount from the PC, it would freeze up. I just backed it up, deleted all my partitions, reformated and made new ones. What ever A2SD you're using, make sure you follow tuts correctly.
If you use AppsToSD to partition your card and you get an error saying that your SD card is corrupted or damaged, ignore it. Take out the card, format the Fat32 partition on your PC (a full format, not quick erase). When it's done, both the Fat32 and ext2 partitions will be there. I have experienced that problem several times.
Also, you can do adb to get the files off the ext2 partition before you use the phone to remove the partition and re-format the card.
Well guess what all I did was turn off my phone overnight and charge it. This morning turned back on got the same good message after spending 5 hours putting music onto my card. So this time I am doing a full format of the card and just using fat32 nothing more no apps2sd I think that may be my problem. Cause when using it I don't get the option to safe remove the sd card in SD card settings.
My 2-yr old 8gig Sandisk Class 2 SDHC suddenly went kaput and won't be detected by my Topaz.
This sd card has been previously fat32-formatted and worked for 2 yrs.
Lately, before flashing a cooked ROM, I ran the mtty1.42 if that matters
Now, my phone won't even detect another sdhc (4gig Sandisk, Class 6) which is working fine on my wife's Raphael and/or my PC.
The error message the defunct 8gig SD card gives when connected via card reader to my XP sp2 machine is:
Exception Processing Message c0000013
Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7 c 75b6bf7c
[Cancel] [Try Again] [Continue]
You can't format something that is undetected, right? Any clue, please? Thanks.
Sandisk SDHC Class 2 goes dead, and won't get detected

Yea that happens my 1yr 8Gb class 6 dies a while ago but that was from my using it for readyboost and eboostr(unrelated).Now i got this 4gb class 2 thats pretty fast If you had swapper then i think the card could be damaged, try formatting that sd card in recovery mode.
there is a way to reformat the card if its not physically damaged but it seems like yours is. I dont rmr the commands to do it in gparted, butits possible
Here's a weird one. I am not trying anything complicated. I just want to copy some music to my new 32GB external SD card that arrived in the post today. I put it into a microSD to SD adaptor, and slide it into my laptops SD slot. It shows up as fat32 and I drag 30 gigs of music on to it. After a long time it completes, and I check in with XP to make sure its all good. Yep fine.
However, the moment I insert it back into my I9000 things get weird. The status bar pops up the usual "Initialising SD card" message, then the media scanner comes up and completes in like a second. Then when I try to browse it from within the phone, the entire music directory has disappeared, and the OS is reporting that there is 28gb of 32gb free on the external sd. So I unmount the SD, slot it back into my pc, and find to my dismay the music directory has indeed been erased.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.. I need my tunes!!
Cheers,
C

My 1st guess is fake/faulty card.
Copy files onto card with a reader.
Eject.
Insert again into reader.
Try to copy from card. (If it fails -> card is faulty or is FAKE)

If I were to guess, when the phone says it's "Initializing SD card" it's likely formatting the card and erasing whatever data you had on it...
When you install the card in your PC, do you format it again and then copy the files? If so, try not to format it on the PC and let the phone do the formatting.
I fully agree. Let the phone format the card and then use MOUNT mode to copy the music over. It seems Fat32 (formated on PC) won't work well for our phones prob due to a flag setting or something the like too big cluster settings. Let the phone sort it out.
Thanks for the help peeps. Here's what I've tried:
Xan: I tried copying files to and from the device using my PC's card reader, and found no problems with it. It is a Kingston MicroSD SDC4/32GB bought from a reseller on Amazon. Are there any tools for around for the pc to run diagnostic tests on SD cards? Maybe I should give that a go? But from the looks of it I think the error lies in the phone somewhere...
An Droid: I am inclined to agree with you. In my original post I stated that it said "Inititialising SD Card", this was a mistake, as it actually says "Preparing SD Card". I have tried formatting it from both the PC and the Phone and still get the same problem.
Icky Boo: I tried this method last night. Used the USB Debugging mode to Mount the phone's card's onto my PC. My Computer displays the two cards as two seperate Drives. I then tried copying all my music onto it. When the copy completed, I pressed "Turn of USB Storage Mode" on the I9000, which immediately prompted the status bar to again show "Preparing SD Card". Then when I used a file explorer to look at the card, it only had about a gig of music copied onto it. It is quite clear now that in "Preparing SD Card" it is doing something strange. Is there anyway to disable this?
Also there is a directory on the SD called Lost.DIR which seems to increase in size every time this happens. Could be a clue?
Finally, just to confirm my phone is mounting it correctly, to browse the SD card from within the phone the path is /sdcard/external_sd/ right? (I understand this is the new path for Froyo 2.2?)
Thanks for the help, sorry for the essay!

UPDATE: Ok, Xan, you were right all along. Finally got a new SD card (sandisk this time, not Kingston) and it works just as it should. Thanks for the help and to everyone else too

i just got a 32gb micro sd card (class 4) for my droid and it has been making my droid act really funny. i formatted the card in my droid first then transferred all my files from 16gb card to the 32gb card. then i went along using my droid as normal everything worked just fine (could access all info on card). then i powered off my phone and when i rebooted it would start up with the "no service" logo (this happens almost every time i reboot except factory reset). my phone will restart to bootloader when ever i unmount my phone from my pc or try unmount and remount my sdcard, booting to "no service" logo. i can get service back randomly by the following means: factory reset, battery pull, toggling airplane mode on and off, or dial *228 (non of which is a sure thing to return service) but if i put my 16gb card back in everything works as normal.
one thing to note i can not set my custom notifications, and ringtones stored on sdcard as: media>audio>alarm, notifications, ringtones
So what is a matter with my 32gb micro sd card?
if you have any further question just ask

Have you tried formatting the card through a computer instead of through your Droid?
I'll give it a try and report my results.
I'm on my 2nd 32gb card... first one was a fake pos from ebay that never worked... lol...
Second one was a Patriot class 4 that caused my Milestone to constantly reboot everytime it mounted it to the phone. After a reboot, it would be okay. I reformatted the card in Windows with Fat32 and a 64k allocation unit and so far so good. No reboots unless the phone's overheated... in other words, all is normal.. lol
I had the same problem with fake 32gb micro sd card on Ebay. Thankfully I paid with PayPal and was able to get a full refund. I just formatted my (real) 32gb micro sd card on my pc and now I'm not having any problems thus far.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Format it,try...
remember backup your data
Hello.
I have a problem.
My SGS(i9000) doesn't see MicroSD(KINGMAX Class 2 16 GB) anymore.... It worked fine for some time. But now when I put it into the slot nothing happens with my telephone. I event don't see any notification about faulty card or etc/
But my PC is able to read/write on the card.
Whatever I tried to do I cant make my phone detect this card.
Could you please advise?
Note 4 (Tmobile) SD Card unrecognized
Just purchased a used Tmobile Samsung Note 4 SM910T (upgrading from a Tmobile Note 3).
First thing I did was reset the phone to factory defaults with 4.4.4 and got it running. Everything seemed to work fine, programmed the finger print scanner (a nice feature), installed some apps. Seems to work like it's supposed to. Now, time to get the SD Card switched over.
Pulling the SD Card, (Sandisk Extreme 32gb (HC I) MicroSD) from the Note 3 and putting it into the Note 4, the SD Card was not recognized. So I put is back into the Note 3 to make sure there wasn't a problem, everything showed up fine, all files and pics where still there.
So I pulled the battery, thinking the card had to be in the slot upon boot up, I inserted the SD card and powered up the phone again. Still nothing, no SD Card detected. Humm...
I had an old 8gb Sandisk card laying around, popped it into my PC to see what was on it, had some files on there so I tried putting that SD Card into my new Note 4, nothing. Not recognized. I put the old card into my Note 3, shows up fine.
When I go into "Storage" and scroll down to the bottom, "Mount SD Card" Insert SD Card" are showing, but not the normal "Total Space" "Available Space" "Unmount SD Card" and "Format SD Card" even though the SD Card is inserted correctly into the SD Card slot of the phone. I again tested that SD card in my old Note 3, still shows up fine.
I have tried reformating the 32 gb SD card on my PC, trying all 3 options NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT. I even formated in the Note 3. None of those work, I get the same result. The Note 4 does NOT recognize an SD Card at all.
Bad Hardware?
Please help. Thank you
