Have a 32 gig sd for about 2 weeks now and had no problems until yesterday. Now media scanner says it is a blank memory card and won't read it. I tried formatting but no luck. Anyone else have this issue before? Is there a fix? Thanks ahead of time for any info!
Where did you get the card? brand? I've read a lot about people getting fake cards from China that are awful quality. Not sure if you can do much but re format it with the computer

Brand is Kingston Technology. Bought it from friend of a friend so I have no idea where out was originally purchased from.

Do our i897/i896 support 32GB card ever?
First problem is that when I connect the phone to my computer the sdcards don't appear, it did a couple of builds back, I'm sure it worked in #81, so it's quite a hassle to transfer files between comp and phone. The second is
That the phone looses the sdcard a couple of times per day so I have to reboot the phone to get it back.
Anyone else having these problems and know how to fix them? Thanx in advance dear xda developers

Have you simply tried with a different SD card? Maybe its faulty?
No haven't done that, might try that thanx for the tip! Btw the card works good in the phone

Nopes the other sd card didnt work either. Ill take this as CM7 is fubared when it comes to connecting the phone to a computer and the SD card in that situation :/
i am having the same problem, still searching for the answer....
maybe the connectors aren't aligned
I would assume that the connectors are working since the sd card works perfectly in the phone quite annoying that i have to remove the sd card and connect it to the computer everytime i want to move something big..
Btw, the sd card doesn't disappear now, i guess they fixed it in some build

Does anyone know if it is possible to access the internal SD card by dismantling the phone without breaking it?
I don't know but I would like to change myn as well for a larger memory.

Well since my phone seems to be knackered. I might try it as a last resort to fix it and let you know soon.

mmm i guess not.. but would be very interesting if it's possible that.. so we could expand our internal sd memory.. let us know
I'm not sure but i don't think there is an actual card inside. It must be a flash chip instead.
Correct me if i'm wrong of course
looks like you are right.

I pull it out and put it in the nHD and it asks me to format it every time. I do so and nothing happens. 32gb sandisk
The card could be bad. I've had that happen before. Windows week format and use it for a short while maybe, but devices will read bad sectors and stop using then correctly all together.

Note 4 unrooted 5.1.1/ 64gb Samsung class10 sdhc this is chronic and happening multiple times daily. It seems to have started to occur when moving files from internal memory to card which shouldn't be a problem. I wonder if there is a way to have all downloads go directly to sd rather then moving them with a file manager which seems to have borked the file structure causing these errors. Just my guess. Anyway I haven't found any definate fix so would appreciate any input. I have most of my apps on the card so it is really inconvenient.

Might be time to replace your SD card?

If it's new, the problem is almost definitely the card; unexpected from a Samsung card but it's definitely possible for any manufacturer to sell a dud. Hopefully an exchange/return is possible? If I were in your spot, I would stick with Samsung and just chalk this one up to "luck of the draw".
I've got quite a collection of cards and most have been problem free (the only brand I've sworn off is SanDisk because almost every one of their cards that I've had has worked fine for a while, then suddenly it's still readable in a phone or PC, but impossible to write to) but the only time that I've had the unmounting problem that you describe was with a brand new card that was clearly no bueno. Good luck!
Im going to try to format the card, fat32 save all the data, and replace it. It just started occuring after moving files like downloaded images and music, so I think the file structure is causing the dismounts. Also the apps that are loaded on the card have the icons disappearing sporadically.

Where did you buy the card from?....is it authentic
I'm going to blame this one on root. .

Ok not rooted, and the card was
purchased from Samsung with my Note 4 discount. So I have a possible fix for any with this issue. I thought it might be related to wireless charging bc it coincided with this, but it may be because I transferred wallpapers and lockscreen images to external sd. I moved them back to internal storage and havent had a dismount. If it occurs again, Ill format the card. May do a factory reset as well just to kill anu bugs. Can you recommend a good backup method for non root? Ive rooted so long and used Titanium, but obviously cant on a stock device.

It is a bad sd card. Yes, it is new, but it is memory. It fails. I have had issues like this across all cards. Sandisk, Kingston, & Samsung too. It happens.

Ok Im surprised because it worked for about a year with zero issues. Now my macbook pro wont recognize the phone as drive at all. AFT says "no device" uninstalled kies, not sure if I had it but ran uninstaller, nada. Just charges, not recognized as usb device. Im at a loss. Formatted card, about to do a factory reset. Alot of apps on that card so I'm missing those apps. Odd because with the adaptor I was able to move files on my mac from the card but not to it so its not writable.

I see the same problem. Does it a few times a week. Haven't tried replacing the card though.
Well reset did not help. The card is bad,but the phone won't be recognized as a USB device at all and it's out of warranty. I lost contacts which I thought were automatically backed up to google. Maybe they're stored on the sd. Used to store on the sim or at least was an option. Now endless headaches due to reset. I didn't root just to avoid this kind of stuff.

I had this happen a ton when I had an S4 with multiple cards. It just couldn't handle 64gb, but my wifes identical phone could. Maybe your note just has a glitch. First thing is to return for another card though.
The media scanner and it will suck the life out of your battery as it scans every time the card is 'inserted'. This can be disabled though.
I have a 7 year old or older 1gig sandisk class 6 in it now and it hasn't dismounted it yet, though I dont have any apps on it yet.
