This is like the fourth time the stock SD card gets damaged. Does any one know how I can avoid this. I keep losing everything every time... this really sucks. The phone is not even mounting to my pc...
I've fried a few, best bet is to backup every time you plug into your computer.

It might be time to spend the 10 bucks to get a real SD card.

I agree, I had the same problem a few times and after inserting a new reformatted 8gb class 4 I've had now SD problems for 5 months.

Have you tried rebooting the phone? When I first got my N1 and was hosing with it, one boot the SD card didn't mount.. I poked around in the settings for a few minutes, and finally just rebooted it. Been fine since.
However, the suggestions to upgrade the MicroSD are valid, the standard one is a Class 2 IIRC, I'd suggest at least Class 6.
I have a 16Gig class10 SD card and My O2X takes upwards of 3 minutes to scan it when I boot or reinstall it (which I have to do fairly often as I have found more stuff unable to install with the SD cards mounted, Angry Birds forum tought me this) Which I also never had to do with my ZTE Blade . If I put the SAME card in my ZTE Blade running at only 600mhz and ARM6 also running Froyo it only takes about 20-30 seconds max. My real question is why does the O2X take SOOOOOoooooooo long to scan verses my fairly slow ZTE blade ?
I have a 16GB card, and it scans it in about 10-15 seconds.
Have you tried to format the card ?
My 16 GB about 10-20 sec. But I hate this. Anyone know how can I dissable autoscan? Thanks.

Good point
Just backing up my card now and I'll format it in the phone to see if that helps. Still does not explain why my ZTE Blade scans it correctly though. I don't think the size of the card makes any difference to the time I suspect the amount of files might do though. I have 3.5gig 1,171 M4A music files just for starters. And 11,576 files on that card.
Had this happen to me twice. I can't quite remember the actual details of the fix, but I recall that I had a few"orphaned" files causing the long re-scans. Deleting the files bring the scan time back down to less than 30 seconds. I have more than 10 GB of songs on the microSD card.

how do you check for orphaned files ? I run the windows check disk on the card but that found nothing wrong.

The microSD only contain songs/folders which I had manually created/copied. I think I simply deleted files/folders that looked out of place. Possibly, some thumbnail files generated by the camera. I think there were less than 10 files deleted for each time I had the problem.
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.
Have anyone else had this problem? What could be the issue?
YES! I lost like 30 pictures I took at Mt. St. Helens! I was very very very upset. They were there for like 24hours, then boom, all of them turned into your SS. This happened WITHOUT using live focus, for me. I'm not sure whats causing it, but this is my process so far trying to narrow it down:
-Took random picture after I noticed this, and it turned into unreadable file and eventually disappeared all together within 24hours. Pictures are all stored on the EXTSD card on my phone.
-Removed EXTSD Card. (EXTSD is a Samsung 64gig Samsung XC I Class 10)
-Factory reset my phone for a different issue with secure folder.
-Took another random picture, and its still there and readable 18hours later (stored to internal memory)
Im hoping the SD card was just faulty or something because its very worrying to take "once in a lifetime" pictures and have them disappear 24hours later and be irrecoverable. Ill def. be following this thread to see if anybody pins it down.

I changed to a smaller Samsung SD for a while and got to keep all my pictures. Then I changed to a cheaper bigger one and voila - the problem came back.
Did you ever find a way to restore the broken photos?
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.
