I am using Samsung 64G with FAT32 formatting, it's very normal before. But I found it will become read only mode now and need to reboot mobile everytime. Unfortunately, same problem occur again after few days and need to reboot again.
I just wondering it's device or SD card issue? Thanks!

I can use it in computer, and as the problem didn't occur immediately, so it's hard to test with other device.
I had a similar problem with my SanDisk 64GB. Unfortunately, the thing was borked. I could still read from it, but couldn't write anything to it. These symptoms appeared on both the phone and computers (via SD adapter and via phone's USB).
Just sharing my experience.

Well, the sd card is long gone now. But no, I wasn't able to. I would be able to move files onto it, via a file browser, but it would disappear on reboot or if I stuck the SD card into a computer. Which meant that nothing was written to the card itself.

i think it's the device issue. because you saying the problem didn"t occur immediately. if the SDcard issue you most see it read only in PC. and whats you android version in your device? if 4.1.2 you most change it to 4.2.2 or 4.3 because 4.1.2 don't support 64GB SDcards

hi guys this is my first post on this forum although i have been browsing around for a few months. my problem is that whenever i connect my phone to my pc and mount it, the computer recognises it but whenever i try to add files to the SD card or format it, the phone disconnects and i have to mount it again. once i have mounted it, the whole process starts all over again and now im stuck in a position where i cant do anything with it.
has anyone had his problem before and is there a way to fix it or is my SD card faulty? thanks in advance.
Are you rooted? If so, what rom are you on? Just give us some specs on what you got.
no im not rooted, im on the oem android software. i was just about to format my SD card so i could start rooting it.
Is it the factory sd card? Do you got another card to try out? If not, try to format the card in the phone and then try it again to see if it still does the same thing.
yeah its a factory SD Card. itried formating it from the phone and now i can add files to the card but it still disconnects whenever i try to format it. is the card protected or something?

You cannot format it through the USB by mounting it
ok how do i do it then? should i just use a card reader? or is there another way to do it by using the phone? also thought i would add that it has started doing it when adding files to the card again.

You can put it in a card reader if you have one. I would boot into ubuntu and do it that way, also if you are in ubuntu you can do it through your phone.

The phone has an option too. Go to
Settings > SD and storage > Format Card
Since your stock G1, the other phone partitioning/formatting isnt available
ok thanks guys i formatted the SD crad uising the options on the phone, which now leaves me to my next problem. i have download the Rc7 file and placed it on he root of the card but i when i power on the phone holding down the camera phone it doesnt show the grey screen with the flashing options, it jus shows the screen which tells me the board type etc. am i doing something wrong? sorry for all the questions.

it doesnt have flashing options
press the power button (not hold, just press) and it should say that its flashing the image.
(look in the center of the screen, there should be a line of text that says something)
DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE TILL ITS DONE FLASHING
Btw just chiming in case it comes up as it did in the past. If you use Swapper app and have a swapfile image located in the fat32 area, it would cause DC issues or not connect right, back then it never hit me that the swapfile was being torn away from a system that was looking for it, which then gave me corrupt sd errors. (Granted it wasnt) but yea, just another thing to look out for to those using a image file still for swap.
Also how did your flashing go?
Hello everyone!
So here is my problem: my milestone don't read sd card. Week ago it was happening just occasionaly and I had to reset mobile one or few times to get it back to working but now it's useless. The problem is that other devices can normally see sd card, pc also see it normally and can write/read on it.
I've already tried everything that got on my mind but it did nothing.
Here is what I've already done:
- clean up those connecting parts on sd card with some soft material
- did the same to those parts in mobile but with an air
- flashed to 2.1 stock (I was using CyanogenMod 6 before)
- tried flashing to 2.0 but just couldn't so I abandoned this idea
- now I flashed it to got 2.2.1 but it's still the same
- formating sd card on pc
I'm just going out of my mind, don't have any idea what to do.
Hope you'll help me.
Regards,
Felven
Try formatting the card using the phone.

Did that, just forgot to write down. Didn't help at all. Do you think sending to repair-service will be needed?
Test with another SD card, if it works, throw that one away
I had that issue before. You can try my method - this MAY work (it worked for me).
Get a card reader and connect it to your computer.
If your computer is able to read the card - then there are still hope.
FULL FORMAT your card via your computer, I mean full format, the slow one.. not quick format.
After that, try reading it on your phone, hopefully it works.
Ok so I am starting this thread to track down the SD unmounting issue present on V30B. Every idea is welcome.
Things I have tried and have not helped me:
Pimp my ROM (tweaks to external memory)
Factory Reset
Format SD (on ROM)
Different SD card
look this bug is not specific to the rom , most of v30b users dont face it ,, try removing "android_secure" folder from sd ,, also re-flahs your current rom on full wipe
Had that issue too.
Things i've done to track down the issue in 7 days testing period.
1) Formatted my SD Card (16Gb Sandisk Class8)
2) some combinations of cluster sizes (reformatting through Card readers in windows - filesystem fat32) and mp3 only for testing
3) Finally, reflash rom (Marvel ICS) and yes, once again i had that issue after receiving some phone calls...
I believe it's the SD Card itself which started to give up due to aging ... (3 years old)
I'll try if that happens again with a 2Gb Samsung
Question: what's the brand, size and speed class of your SD card?

I have tried 2 cards with same results: Amazon class 10 16GB and Kingmax class 4 4GB(included with phone). I was on Froyo before updating to ICS and never had this issue until updating.
BTW, have you tried the tweaks from Pimp my Rom?
Had this problem twice, but for now, no issues. I'll report if that happens again, but my main concern is that there's something going on with the SD Cards or some files.
Maybe ICS has some "sensitivity" with that so we should all start with format and transfer only our crucial files on the card to troubleshoot...

Check my post #4 .... just a bit above all these
So far, no unexpected unmounts, but as far as i'm reading about this issue of ICS on some other cellphones, it might have to do with the source code (I have no idea about these things) of this version, or it's just a coincidence and our SD cards are more sensitive now, with 4.0
First, try to format and restore your basic folders (music, pictures etc..) do not restore all useless folders or "junk" files... keep your SD card and input tray's contacts clean and firmly insert the card.
We'll see how it goes.... by the way, i have no tweaks from Pimp my rom for the microSD.
Ok I just reflashed (same V30B). I will conduct a 1 day validation to see if it is solved.
I had that problem a lot with rrgrrg's IceBOOM, only once in that week I used his 4.01 and non at all in the two days I use 5.01. But I must say that I heard from other ppl that use a v30b version, that they have it a lot and other ppl with the same ROM don't have it at all, so I gues it is a mix that some cards are more 'sensible' and some ROMs can handle it better.
tfs
again it unmounted. I guess we should wait for V30C (if it is ever released) hoping this bug was addressed.
Formatting the SD from the phone solves the problem ....
Save files first on the PC and then copy them back ..

I've had this happen with 28C. I've been using 30B that is not rooted and not had a problem at all. I'm starting to think it's the flash process. I erased all data on the SD card and flashed with Smart Flash. No problems seem it came out.
It is clear that the solution is a pain, but is the only one there ..

My friend who have my old OB have this issue too.
Clean install of 4.3. Got root as I have an unlocked bootloader.
External card not writable.
File explorers have root permission.
Suggestions please, I don't have access to a pc today to try fixing permissions via Windows.

have you tried unmount/mount sd card
and have your tried to reboot the phone
maybe reformat sd card will be required
Tried all except formatting. Not convinced that's the only way as yet.
Just tried using fix permissions in ROM manager. Didn't work either
Mounting to Windows and fixing sdcard errors there didn't work either.

I've tried formatting the card now as well. Both quick and regular. Doesn't seem to work. The files are still visible.
Its a 64gb sandisk ultra. Bought only a few months ago. I thought they were supposed to be a good brand. Seems like the card has corrupted after the flash.
Are there any other options?

Anyone having problem with the external memory after update. Mine whatsapp & wechat not able to load photos when default storage location set to memory card. Everything is ok after the default memory changed back to internal memory. But still cannot select the photos that store in memory card when want to send photo via Whatsapp & Wechat. I've checked the SD cards is working fine and can explore & open the photo via gallery and files app.
I find out that the photo transfer to PC via USB media connection did not show external memory too. Anyone having similar problem and resolution to solve this problem?

Same with mine. Upon checking the details of the files I have on my sd card(through file manager) the path says Network neighbourhood/, while the files I have on the internal memory shows correct file path.
Try this: Open "Files" app, update it to latest version. Worked for me.

Yes. It is the only temporary solution to temporary fix it. The problem will re-appear when phone restart. Need to re-apply the method again.
Try resetting your phone. That may resolve the issue.
After updating the Android Version via update it's generally a good idea to reset.

Just got a patch update today specifically to resolve this issue. It seems to be working now even after a restart the sd card is still there.
