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

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?
Google nexus one

Hello everyone,
Today, I just received the dreaded "blank SD or unsupported file system" all of a sudden from the stock Samsung 2GB Micro SD Card. Everything gone, Card Fried.
But then I tried to put in a separate memory card into the phone. It's a Kingston 2GB. But the moment I even put it in, the whole phone freezes into oblivion. Only when I take it out and wait 5 seconds, will the phone run at normal speeds again.
Another issue is that I am unable to format the aforementioned Kingston Card from the phone. When I try to do so, the phone just says Erasing... then it stops. When I try to press the Mount SD card option, phone just freezes, until, of course, I remove the card and wait 5 seconds.
All this suddenly happened today. I have been owning this 5830i for about 2 months now, no problems, and suddenly today...
Any insight into these issue are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
To help give a more visual approach to this problem, I have decided to take some time off to create a video.

Hope this clarifies things.
OMG what is this shenanigans? I just put the KINGSTON card into the phone and waited two hours, and the phone had the cheek to work normally again. Yay its solved, but I still find this issue to be very strange. Fickle phone, I guess.
I just found a solution to the Kingston Card Lag Problem.
Go google Panasonic SD Formatter and Format the SD Card using a card reader. Then put the card back in the phone and the Card will work normally again.
umm umm. lol?
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.
I have a Note 8 which as of late seems to be developing some issues.
Chief of which is related to the camera. I have a SanDisk 128gb Microsd card in it and I save my photos to it. As of late, many photos and videos don't appear on it. In the gallery, the thumbnails appear grey and if I play a video, it just gives an error saying it can't be played back. Many photos appear to be partially processed as in the top 5% looks ok but everything is greyed out. This is quite aggravating as I'm currently in Dubai and I've taken loads of photos.
Did get buy the SD card from a reputable supplier?
Does the card work fine in other products?
(Many fake SD cards out there, it will show on a computer that you have that amount of memory but most of the files will not save but portray a thumbnai only instead)
I've seen this happen on imitation memory cards where the actual capacity isn't what the card is actually stated to be. With these imitation memory cards (or even flash drives), they will show what the "sold" capacity is but if you stick in a computer & run diagnostics on it with like a benchmark app it will show it's true capacity. Not saying yours is fake but doesn't hurt to check. SanDisk is one of the most faked brands for memory cards & flash drives out there. One of the reasons why I stopped buying them.
Could also be that you sd card is failing or defective. I had a SanDisk in my Note 5 & when it started to get full I was having the same issues as you, photos would show up in the gallery corrupted, part of the photo greyed out. Replaced the card & all was well.
With that said, I would first try replacing the sd card, probably not a phone issue at all but still a possibility.
I stopped using sandisk cards, the last 2 failed miserably

That's the other reason why I stopped buying them. I've had like 3 or 4 in my past phones, they didn't totally fail but they eventually get corrupted & partially unreadable.
I don't remember how I went about buying this.
Is their anyway I can salvage the photos and videos I've taken ? Many photos I've taken have sentimental value so I'd like to recover them if possible.
I've decided to save photos to phone storage (While they get backed up to Google Photos) and move them over to the SD card after a while.
P.S. This is also a fairly recent development. Of the 400 or so photos I've taken, 300 or so are good, it's just the latter which seemingly coming out currupt.
So I dropped in a 512 GB card in my s10+, and in the past you were able to format the card as internal storage. I can see this option and is basically just an external saving location, for nothing...
Any advice?

The adaptable storage option went away with the arrival of Pie.
So the only real advantage of external storage is for pictures, video and apps you install after setup? BS if you ask me...what's the point if you can't merge the two as usable storage?
What is the advantages of an external SD card?
so that when you take pictures and save them on your card and your phone happens to get destroyed you can simply pull your card out of your destroyed phone and you still have everything intact. It also allows you to access your pictures in the event that your phone battery dies by simply putting your card into another phone and it or computer. It also serves as an additional backup to your pictures if you chose to save them on both your phone and your SD card.
for somebody like me that upgrades every time a new phone comes out it's magical to be able to simply pull my card out and put it in the new phone and everything ports over. I take a ridiculous amount of pictures so the external memory is nice to have.
