Does XZ kill SD Cards??? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i got the impression that my XZ kills sd cards. does anybody else have that?
it first killed my 32gig sandisk ultra 2 months ago. i thought it was a coincidence and just put in my old 8 gig card(samsung) i had from my old desire hd. and then about a week ago, when i flashed beanstalk i encountered problems for the first time. rom is really laggy, recovery doesn't load, cant open developer options in config menu and so on.
when i click the "storage" button in confg menu, phone freezes. when i pull out the sd card it unfreezes and stops lagging...
without sd everything seems to be back to normal. whats with that????

with the normal firmware it s not possible
r u root/unlock ? and have installed an app that refer to ext storage with root access
or maybe custom kernel !
something like these can cause this kindda problem!

[Q] Sabmobile and 4.1.2

For about one year I use Sabmobile on my Note. Ir worked fine. Since two weeks I upgraded from 4.0.3 to 4.1.2. Since a few weeks some problems with Sabmobile occured. My Note won't get awake. I have to reboot by holding the on/off button for a longer time. The icon Sabmobile does not work. It becomes a standard Android icon and when I use it, I get the message "not installed".
I restored my phone a few time, but the problem stays.
Is this a known problem?
What is the solution?
try moving it to internal SD card if on external SD
uninstall and reinstall it from play store

I uninstalled en reinstalled it a few times. I even resetted my phone twice. I had to install all apps again.
It does not help so far.
Just read the overview of this app on playstore maybe you can find a fix there.. Or comments for the same device to know that it's happening with everyone or you are the only one

[Q] HELP NOW D: internal memory full for no reason. and getting back to gingerbread?

Hello all!
So i have these few really annoying problems...
but first what i have on my phone:
rooted.
i installed leaked JB 4.1.2 with multi-view and air view.
1 - Memory problems.
My Internal memory gets full every two weeks. i always plan to have free space (about 725mb). but when i leave phone charging for a while. like about 5 hours.. i come back to see that my phone is vibrating like: Beeeeep...........bep bep bep. about every 15 secs. and the screen wont turn on. so i hold the power button until i see the "galaxy note gt-n7000" and when the phone fully boots up. i get the "Storage space running out" error. i have 5 gb free on sd card with no apps on it. because if i put any app. both of SD card and external SD card get unmounted randomly.
Help???
2 - I want to go back to gingerbread.
So i can upgrade to the official jb. might get rid of the problem above. cuz formatting doesn't seem to work...
Q-Did the official jb come out for GT-N7000 and does it have multi-view/screen?
if so. how do i go back to gingerbread? my note was on gingerbread when i bought it.
is there anyway to get back to the stock one??
Thanks!
P.S HELP.

[Q] Weird error

Hey guys,
I've been online searching for a solution a couple of hours already but i can't find anytbung about my problem...
Here's my problem:
I just bought the samsung galaxy ace and everything works except for one thing. I can't download anything from the internet (I've tried several browsers). The second i try to download something, it says that I need an sd card to download the file. I don't even have an sd card...
With my earlier phones i've never had this problem so i don't know how to fix it... It's just weird to me that i need a sd card to download a file especially because i don't even have one.
I hope someone knows/finds a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Edit:
I've already hard resetted and set the phone to fabric settings a couple of times.

yes brother you should have an sd card cos it is not a advanced phone which offers internal and external storage separately like grand or s4
so please insert an sd card
HAPPY NEW YEAR

[q]SDcarderrors

sometime ago my sdcard kept being unexspectly removed, a friend of mine had a theory that it might be a software problem.
So he tried to install cyanogenmode on it coming from whatever system I had before.
Suddenly the SDcard worked, and I could get the new OS on.
now on cyanogenmode it can't decide whether it wants to work or not, it seems to stop working whenever i'm doing something with video.
The SDcard always comes to work again when my phone completely runs out of power, but then after sometime it stops.
my friends theory is now that the sdcard might be bricked, how do I unbrick?
i tried formatting the sdcard and this is the rom that i'm using

Your sdcard is not bricked. Just take off the back cover, take the sd card out. Blow gently on sd card and slot and then put sd card back in. Normally the problem goes away.

[Q] Lollipop SD card issue

Hey guys
I realise after upgrading to LP (rooted, BL locked), the SD card will not mount everytime I reboot the phone. If I go to "Storage" and click Mount SD Card, it will say mounting but nothing happens.
The phone knows the card is inside, but it just doesn't mount it. The temporary fix is to eject and reinsert the SD card and all works well.
I tried searching but can't find someone with the same bizarre situation. HELP! thanks!

1. remove sd-card reboot phone and insert it. then reboot to check if it s OK or not.
2. another solution is to format sd-card (thr might be issue with sd-card)
3. Repair xperia firmware by PC Companion (if thr s problem with xperia system)

Hey! I've got the exact same issue. My Z3C is rooted, and I'm running Lollipop 5.0.2. If I reboot my phone, it acts just as if there was no SD-card inserted. And just like you, I cannot manually "mount" it, I need to take it out and then reinsert it again.
And just like you, I have searched the web far and wide for a solution but nothing has helped.

Number 1 doesn't work.
Number 2 doesn't work.
as for number 3, I need to ask a question about this one: if I would use PC Companion to "repair" the firmware, as you suggest; would this really work when the phone is rooted?
I hope there's someone out there who might have an idea about a solution for this..

yup but you will lose ur root access by installing fresh firmware by Repairing option in PCC

Yeah Ok, thanks. So that's really not an option then, because I would really like to keep root.
Now, a question for OP:
What firmware, exactly, are you using on your phone? I mean, which version and from where is the FTF-file? I'm wondering if the firmware version and / or region could be the cause of this problem... trying to narrow it down here...
Hello , did you manage to solve this issue please ??? I have the same problem after updting my Z1C to lollipop , I used Generric DE pre-root with dual recover , phone only mounts SD if taken out and reinserted but if reboot it does not show althought I can acces through root browser
Thanks

Exactly the same issue here. After a reboot, the SD card doesn't show up in Settings->Storage or in MTP sessions (nor - I think - in apps such as Album/Music).
But it is always fully accessible from the file system, e.g. using Root Browser/ES.
The card is correctly recognised when I remove and re-insert it.
It's not a great problem as I try not to reboot my phone very often. For reference I'm using a rooted Russian .726. FW.
Funny how rooted phones are facing this

Same issue here, using rooted .28 LL FW.
Peace.

The main problem to me is that i can not use recovery , i changed to italian pre rooted and samevissue as with german
I suggest downgrading to .93 Firmware ( KK ) then flashing Global .28 ( Lollipop ) firmware using Flashtool.
But it's highly unlikely it would be a software problem as most users don't experience this but are also rooted with Locked bootloaders. Maybe its the SD Card?

I flashed a pre-rooted Lollipop made with PRF Creator via Recovery coming from FW .93 ( kk ) and no problem on my end It must be a software issue on some Kitkat releases

Both are the same class? It may look like a stupid question... but I had another problem and the issue was the brand. Maybe the class could be a problem?

Samsung micro SDHC evo 32 gb class 10 and SanDisk Ultra micro SDHC 32gb class 10 , the only issue is they do not ppear as mounted nor you can see them on pc unless you take them out and insert again , but both play the music and i can see the pictures on them but as they dissapear when you reboot the phone I can not use recovery , I can even with root browser I can see files on them
Oops forgot to update this thread.
Anyways I gave up looking for solutions until the phone refused to sleep AT ALL. I went ahead and reflashed KitKat and went through the whole procedure again.
The problem magically disappeared and has been fine ever since. Still rooted and lollipop.:good:
Exact same probleme here with my rooted z3 compact .726 and 64GB microSD card.
I replaced by new card, reformat many times, still same situation.
Card is always visible in totalcommander but not in the system.
It happen yesterday when i started the camera app for taking a picture. It worked for many weeks before without problem. Strange! [emoji43]
