SD card stopped working - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I put a brand new Samsung Evo SD card into my phone it worked perfectly for about a week and it just stopped working I thought it was my tray so I took it out messed with it put it back i did that a few times and nothing so I put another SD card in one from SanDisk and it's working any idea what could of happened and could I get my files off of it still

Plug it into a PC with a sd card reader and run some software diagnostics on it that way

Are you using the Spotify app? I've had some problems in the past and I believe Spotify causes the problem.

Nope not using the Spotify app and il try putting it in my pc when I get home

It's a legit Samsung SD card bought off Newegg I plugged it into my laptop and nothing it's like the SD card is just dead

Phone Stopped Reconizing My Sd Card, Why?

I am using a micro sd hc by kingston 8gb. I have been using this sd card for over a month now with now problems using about .5gb of space. I took my battery out of my tilt while powered on to reset the phone. Now the phone is reset fine and running but it says theres no sd card! I go to settings, memory, storage card and it says not installed. I took out the card put it back in several times no difference. I have an older sd card thats 1gb that i put into my phone and it reads it just fine. I then put the 8gb card back in and says not installed, what the hell? I also tried putting the 8gb storage card in my 8525 and it says not installed. Did my memory card die for some reason some how? Ive never heard of this and never had any problems with an sd card and ive been using them for years. Ive never played with the sd card, once i put it in the phone it stays there and i never take it out. Did maybe resetting the phone by taking the battery out while powered on somehow kill the sd card? Ive done this before with no ill effects. I dont understand, please help anyone. Hate to lose all the info and everything i have stored on my 8gb storage card. Thank you!
did u try to access it on a pc? if you success, move the contents to the pc, and format it, and then move the contents back.

No, my ghetto pc doesnt have a slot for the card. Need to get a usb slot thing for it but i really need this card working now. Doesnt make sense what would case this all of a sudden. Only thing i can think of his taking the battery out.
I think ive really tried everything except the pc method but dont think thats gonna work either. I put the sd card in my 8525 and had the same problem so its not just my tilt, its the card itself. I put an old 1gb card in my tilt and it read it just fine, same with my 8525. Im really stuck here guys and need help, i already contacted kingston tech since they offer a lifetime warrenty even though i got it free but what the hell? Some of the stuff on that card is really not replaceable, really need it. Thanks.

Chances are you need to format the card in a PC as fat32 and try it back on the kaiser. Go to Staples/BestBuy/Walmart and go get a 10$ usb microsdhc card reader. I have one and it works great. I got the Mobilemate Micro Reader and I wont go without it now.
I went to radio shack and for the same price I got one that will read eight types of cards, nifty tool to have around, it can read multiple cards at once

Oh yeah? Well mine is the size of your pinky fingernail when plugged in so HA
Having a micro reader around attached to my keyring ( With my old 4gb card in it ) is nice when im copying random files accross multiple computers. For work i can DL the file using Opera ( Drivers ) and simply pop my micro reader into the PC

Thats great guys but i need the info on the card that is irreplaceable. I could care less about the card, i get em for free. I really just need the files on the card to be recovered but my phone is having this problem and even my 8525 is having the problem with this card too. I ordered a keychain usb thing like what u got from cellphoneshop.net for like $6. Im assuming though if my tilt and 8525 cant read o reconize the card than either will my computer once plugged in. Unless the computer does something my 2 phones dont do to recover the files, i dont know since ive nver had an issue with an sd card before. I really need to recover the files then ill worry about the sd card working again or i could get another no problem but need the files back. What would case this problem, i dont get it? Did taking out my battery wile phone was powered on cause this and make a short erasing the card or something? I have takin the battery out of my phone numerous times while powered on and never had any problems before. How can i recover the files? Thanks!
Your going to have to research some file-recovery tools and try some of those, or send your card to one of those (expensive) places that perform file recovery.
Good luck.
/I feel your pain -- I once lost everything on a 1-gig card. Now, of course, i do regular backups.

Well before i had a 1gb card for over a year with my 8525 and my tilt with zero problems. I just got this 8gb card (really dont need one that high, just got it cus) about a month ago and still worked fine like the first one in my tilt. I actually used the dang sd card as my backup for files on my comp since my ghetto walmart computer likes to crash all the time. Now im screwed! What would i google or search for a file recovery program for my sd card? Worst comes to worst ima send it back to kingston since they have a lifetime warranty and tell them i need my damn files back and see if they will do it. Still waiting a response from their tech unit. Ive also searched this problem here on xda to see similar problems but no solutions. Theres gotta be a way, any ideas guys? Thank you!

How are these programs expensive? I just googled "sd card file recovery" and got tons of pages of freeware apps that recover. Problem here is it wont work with my sd card in my tilt and my tilt connected via usb activesync. It will check your computer or anything via usb but doesnt find or show my phone as a device for some reason. Stupid me didn't think about just stoppin by the store and picking up one of those sd flash usb things and instead ordered one online. Id hate to have to wasted another $10 and get one tomorrow then ill have 2. Any other ideas guys? I found this one to look pretty cool if anyone needs an app for this, http://data-recovery-professional.com/?k=Sd Card Data Recovery It seems to be freeware since i didnt see anything about paying and doesnt say register or anything like that while running the program. Check it out. Any other ideas though? Id really like to get to the bottom of this and find out how the hell this all happened in the first place? Thanks!
This site also seems to have some legit freeware programs for this too! http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/task_manager/download.htm?language=1#
Yeah guys, i think im royally screwed now. I remembered i have a digital camera so i put in my sd card into the adapter so it would fit into my digital camera, then i could connect the camera via usb as a mass storage device then use the freeware program to get my files back, sounds great right? Well after i put in the card the camera displays "Card Error" and connecting via usb the computer doesnt display the storage device, probably because the card is screwed. Did i fry my sd card somehow in my tilt? I really cant think of how to fix this now. Ill get a sd card reader that plugs into the usb and try that but my digital camera i think is doing the same thing. Ill probably just get the same "card error" after plugging my sd card into the usb adapter. What do you guys think?

card reader + file recovery software is the way to go
also, work slowly, don't panic, and don't attempt to write anything on your card if you got it to work until you pull all your data off of it with the file recovery software.
even if you somehow could format it, the file recovery software could still retrieve some of your files, so, again don't panic, unless the card circuitry is just fried, there is hope

Im gonna try to get a card reader tomorrow even though i already ordered one online but i need these files asap! Problem here is NO Device reconizes my sd card now. My 8525 doesnt show it when i put it in, my digital camera says card error and doesn read how, how will a card reader read it if none of these other devices will? I tried using my digital camera as a card reader but nothing comes up. Tech support from kingston emailed me bck just saying that warranty echange is going to contact me and send me a new card. I just emailed them back saying i could care less about the card but need the files! Hopefully i can send my card in and they can recover the files and mal them back on a fresh card. Until then, ima try to get a card reader today or tomorrow and try i out.

Im assuming you are using the SAME MicroSD to SD card adapter when swapping between your cam and phone. Make sure you are buying a card reader that will work WITHOUT an adapter. It MUST take microSDHC and read it without the use of any other device. Ive had issues with 3 sd to microsd adapters already. All 4 of my Microsdhc cards work great even though i had the issue of not being readable in the phones.

Oh shoot, i dont remember. Ill go on the site to make sure but i think it needs the adapter and can do it without the adapter. If thats the case then ill for sure get one tomorrow somewhere, any ideas where for a cheap price? Still dont understand while all of a sudden my tilt, 8525, and digital camera suddenly cant read this card anymore. Thanks for the heads up bro.
Hows This?
This is the one i ordered yesterday online, http://www.cellphoneshop.net/usbcareforts.html
Will this one work ok?

Try another sd, if it's not recognised... call to seller...
When you get a sd running, format it from P970.
Regards.
finally found another micro sd and it's runnig flawlessly.

Hi all I have a problem with the SDcard but it's kinda different....
I bought my LG OB new about 3 months ago, this thing I'm about to explain happens today, I mean it started to happen today.
So, while working I use the phone as mp3 player and all the time is always on my jeans pocket. The thing is all of a sudden play stops, I grab the phone and check it says "The SDcard has been unexpectedly romeved" and immediatly starts to check for errors and that stuff, reach 100%, and is usable again.
The question is, anyone knows why this happen?
Thanx all
Yep. I was have same problem. After 3 or 4 times sd card has stopped working permanently and need to be replaced.

Possible SD card problem with some apps.

A friend of mine has a LG Marquee from Boost Mobile and he is having a problem which is a little weird.
The when I install Speech Synthesis from the market place it installs fine but when I go to run the program it wants to install data to the SD card which is normal. But this isn't normal. It doesn't detect the SD card and wants me try again.
This is a new 32 GB card from Sandisk he bought two of them and they both have the same issue. I tried a 2, 4 and 16 GB card thinking there was something wrong with that but they didn't work either. It just wont in see the SD card.
This is not the only program. The stock music app doesn't see the music on the SD card either.
When saving music today to the card from the Android Market place to the SD card it says its full. I know its not there is barely anything on it.
In an effort to fix this I did manage to root the phone. But that didn't seem to help much either...
But I know its working because if I run any other program it finds the card with no problem. I stuck the card in my own phone and it works fine. Sooo...
HELP!!!
Thank you so much..
Hey I have thag same phone but I don't have that issue like your friend is havong with his. Have you tried to format it in the phone? I took my old 8gb sd card out of my old android phone and it works fine. The phone itself may be defective. If u haven't tried to format the card in the phone I would do that first
Sent from my LG-LG855 using xda premium
I did that with other cards and with no avail. So I'm not sure if its a defective phone because the SD card reads normally on other apps with no problem.

SD card read failure

Every so often I get an error saying the sd card is corrupt or not working or something, and photos or music on the card will not open. After a hard reset, it works fine. Is this common? The card is basically brand new but I suppose it could be that.
So I am having a lot of things acting weird. Apps not working, sd card failure... I need to do a hard reset about once a day now. It is becoming a little frustrating. Any suggestions?
So I opened up the sd and sim tray, took out the cards and put them back in. Seemed to fix the problem for a number of days. This morning I had the failure again and I opened the tray and I noticed that the SD was a little off... does anyone else have this problem? Of the card moving around? Any idea how to fix it?
I may just have a bad sd card, now that I think about it.
Thank you because now i know i am not the only one with this problem!

Hey actually I got a new sd card and it has ZERO problems now. Taking the card in and out was only a temperary fix. i think the real problem was a bad chip. I had the PNY 128gb one ($30) and now I am using the SanDisk 128gb one ($40). I would only buy SanDisk from now on.

Unlucky many people have the same problem and no, your sd card is good... there is something wrong with the hardware or software of the huwawei..
I'm having the same problem with my Huawei P9 lite, both the phone and the SD card Kingston32GB are new, i even bought another SD card because i thought the first one was bad, but the problem persist. I haven't found a solution yet.
I have the same problem. I do not think it is specific to the card. I think the card is dislodged and moves around in the card tray and thus gives the issues.
I wanted to but a new card as well, but think this will not solve the issues. I will try sticking the card in the slot somehow to see if that solves things....
I've had my P9 Lite for a month now, and I've only started getting the SD Card corrupt error since last night. Unmounting, and mounting it again fixed it briefly, but then I got the error again while trying to take a photo about an hour ago. I've just formatted the SD card to see if it will fix the problem. I'm hoping for the best.
Have any of you fixed the issue successfully?
I get this when I copy a large files to the microSD card, movies for example (1080P FLAC 4GB each or something). It still works fine though.

Just an update: My SD card gave in completely last night! :crying: It worked fine after formatting, without any errors, until it just stopped working, so I lost a few days of pictures. Anyway, the SD card isn't even being read in my laptop, so it's definitely a goner. I'm currently using a different memory card, to make sure that the same doesn't happen to that one, to make sure it's not my device corrupting the cards.

Sounds a lot like my issues.
After having the phone P9 lite for about half a year, i'm on my second sd card.
2 weeks ago, i had the message it was bad once or twice, but now my phone is acting weird. A few apps (Twitter, netflix, pokemon go) will just start and close instantly sometimes. Apps will just crash. And everytime i reboot my phone, all that has happened after the 6th of July is nowhere to be found on my SD card.
It took me a few days to realize I might have some problems.
But reading this thread i might invest in a new sd card before doing a factory reset.
Problem is from bad quality sd card not from the phone,exactly like u are connect usb flash to your computer,if sometimes u have problem with the usb flash ,u should blame the usb flash not your computer.your phone is just a reader,try to buy good quality sd card

Did the same thing happen to your first SD card? I actually only started getting the issue when I updated to Nougat. I noticed that when I reboot my phone, just before it switches off, I see the notification that the SD card was removed abruptly, so I think it could have something to do with the software that doesn't safely eject the SD card before the device restarts or shuts down. I might be wrong though, but it's just a theory. I don't restart my device too often, but when I sometimes insert my SD card into my card reader, I get a prompt to say my SD has errors, and needs to be scanned.

I had a Kingston one, something i consider good quality.
But you make a valid point and i'm currently looking around for a new one.
It seems that for now my problems are solved by an old one i had lying around.

No, it behaved quite differently. That escalated from one of two error messages in a week to multiple errors daily.
And it was really corrupted, couldn't format it on the pc or anything.
But how is your current card behaving? All is well?

I had a 32GB (Class 4) Kingston SD card as well, which is one of the brands Huawei recommends to do software updates with. I had that card for 4 years, if I remember correctly, and I've used it with 3 devices, including my P9 Lite, which was the only device it gave problems in (only after updating to Nougat).
At the moment it's still behaving. I got a 32GB Class 10 Sandisk a week or two after my previous post, and so far it's fine. Like I said earlier, when I put my SD card into my card reader, I get an error message to scan my SD card, which means my device doesn't eject my card correctly, before rebooting. I still believe it is either an issue with Nougat, or EMUI 5.0. Again, this is my theory, according to my personal experience.

For me the problem also seems to be solved in the mean time with a new sd card.
Don't know if i like your theory though, since it would mean it is just a matter of time.
On the other hand, google does not show that many complaints......
Time will tell I guess.

I don't like my theory either, lol, but today when I was taking photos, I tried viewing the photos within the camera app, but it took a while to load them, and my gallery app stopped responding. I'm hoping it doesn't have anything to do with the SD card though, but I can't help being sceptical.

I changed from Samsung to Sandisk, yesterday after os update same thing. Took out the card, apps default to internal storage and works. Reseller is no help say it's virus. I am sorry I gave up my Samsung edge. May be should have bought iPhone if only working wit internal storage.
I have an expensive SanDisk card and it's worked fine for over a year, just started happening to me too now though...

System properties not responding. SD card Missing! Had happened 3 times.

Here's the story and info.
I got the Blu R1 HD (prime special) went down to Target and bought thier DANE 64GB CL10 MicroSD for $20. Plugged it in and formatted it as internal storage. (A cautionary not then said, "if formatted as internal memory SD card will ONLY work in this device) I chose, who cares and continued.
Worked great for a day or two ... but then it happened ... it went missing! All the apps and data was gone. A notification popped up and said, "Transcendent SD card missing. reinsert this device". I did as the all knowing phone asked but to no avail, it wouldn't recognize it.
I rebooted the phone and a massage popped up saying "system properties not responding. Wait or Quit" I've tried both options, doesn't seem to make a difference.
I tried reformatting it in the phone and it wouldn't unmount. Tried on our computers (both pc and Mac) and neither computers were allowed access to the sd card to reformat it.
I then returned the sd card thinking that it might be flawed, got another one from Target and it worked great ... for about two weeks... Then went missing.
Did everything mentioned above. Got the new one and it worked for 4 weeks, thought my problems were over ... then the SD card ran away again and is now currently missing. The phone does not recognize that there is a sd card when looking for it in a file explorer. In settings it says the sd card is corrupted.
Is my phone messed up? I'd it the brand of SD card? Is there a way to make the phone recognize the sd card?
Please help me find my missing sd card.
Same problem, SD Card is showing as corrupted. I have it installed as internal storage and have for over a month with no problems. SD is a Patriot LX 64gb. I haven't changed anything on the phone. I have not fine anything but reseat the SD. Any help is massively appreciated!
Maybe the problem is using a 64GB MicroSD Card. The phone specs say it's supports up to 32GB only.

That is incorrect it supports 64GB SD, many report success with 128GB cards, so I doubt its an issue with size...

Is good to know I'm not the only one!
Have you been able to reformat the sd card? Or will it not allow you to do so?

I have not tried, I'm clinging to hope I might be able to salvage my pictures.

Okay I caved and tried to reformat it, and all it does is fail, or drops off half-way as though I had removed the card. If I try to put the card in my computer or any other device it just straight doesn't exist, doesn't even say it isn't compatible or anything, just straight doesn't exist. Think the card is just bad, gonna return it and get a new one, will see what happens.
I have had a SANDISK Micro SDXC UHS-1 64GB CARD in mine for almost 5 months now and no issues.
I see I'm not the only one with this issue, although mine is a little different... I got a generic 128gb card and plugged it in, has been issue free for months... BUT, lately and for what seems like no apparent reason, the card guess missing... Rebooting the phone sees the card again with all apps and photos intact. It could be weeks/days/hours/minutes before it happens again... Shortest turn around - about 10 minutes. Longest - about 2 weeks... Haven't tried plugging the card directly into my computer yet, but when it is mounted on the phone it works fine (until it goes missing). Thought maybe it was because it was a cheap card...
