New sd card is damaged? - General Questions and Answers

Today i went to cellcom to get my sd card checked because it all of a sudden stopped being read by my phone and could not be read on other phones. So they gave me a new one because I'm still on warranty and when i got home and put the new one in it says the sd card is damaged when i hadn't even done anything to it yet. Any ideas whats wrong?
I also tried formatting it and that did not do anything, and i also formatted it on my computer which still did nothing

Have you tried writing on it with your computer?

yup tried formating it on computer. I also just tried it in a different phone and it was damaged. Thats strange how i got a new sd card that was damaged

try a different brand. there's a chance that if you got those memory cards from the same place, they could have been manufactured at the same time. possibly a bad batch of them

Memory card issues?

Okay, so my phone has done this a couple times now, and I don't know why its doing it, or how to avoid it. I've inserted a new memory card and it works fine. Then, after I take the card out once, the phone won't recognize it anymore, and I can't reformat it to make it work...then out of the blue, it will work again for a week or so... its getting annoying... any thoughts?

SD card dismounting on its own?

I just got my Inspire in the mail today and have been using it for about 5 hours. The phone has "lost" the sd card twice since then. I'll be using it and all of the sudden an error message will appear saying "can not read sd card, please dismount before ejecting" I then have to take the bottom part off and eject the card and put it back in and let the phone find it again. Anyone else run into this?
Yes, I've had this happen to me a few times already.
Me too... for the record, Im using a sandisk 16gb
Mine was doing this too. I took it back and swapped it and haven't had a problem since
No problem here with my 32GB.

[Q] MicroSD Hot Swap?

My TF doesn't recognize microsd cards that are inserted when it is powered on, even if the previous card was correctly unmounted first. I have to restart the TF, then it will recognize the card.
I have the latest FW from the Asus site.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Anyone? I'm starting to wonder if my TF is defective.
I do not have this issue. I swapped a couple of microSD cards and it would read both, detect when one is inserted and taken out.
Have you tried updating the firmware to see if that resolves the issue?
It's not defective. It's Asus' workaround so that we even have a working microsd slot, until honeycomb gets the official update. So for now you will have to restart each time to get it recognised, if you have this problem. It probably depends on the type of card you have too.
I've had it not recognize my microsd card a couple times. Though all I had to do was wait a few seconds before popping it back in and it read it fine after the 2nd or 3rd try.
It make take reformatting the card. I had this issue until I reformatted the card.

Click to expand...

Seen the same.
I've seen this behavior on my TF also. Sometimes I just wait a little bit before i try to put it back in. I've also noticed that if i took the card out and then proceeded to transfer huge amounts of files, when i put it back in the card will mount properly. I suspect this has something to do with the tablet going completely in to sleep and resetting the card state hence becoming responsive to card insertion after a an extended amount of time.

[Q] SD Card keeps appearing to be damaged

Hello all!
I have a 4GB Micro SD card, that came with my mother's old phone and worked fine. I found it and put it in my phone, but after a few days it appears to android as "DAMAGED" all of a sudden. My phone is HTC Desire Z. It happened after I formatted it to delete a load of pictures my brother had taken after he went on my phone (hes young lol!) When I use something like USB Mass Storage, it will happen then, after reboots it happens, all different times. I have checked it in Windows, I have done slow formats on it, (I have yet to try formatting it under my linux system, hoping this will do the trick) I have done everything. Please help me as I dont want to have to buy a new one just yet!
Thanks, Will.

Dead Ext SD card?

Went to check some photos on my phone, the ext SD card is MIA?
Pulled it out, put it back in, still no go. Popped the card into the adapter
to shove it in my computer. Everything shows up fine on that?
Any ideas? Rebooting didn't seem to do anything either.
This card is about 6 years old, on it's 4th phone. Maybe it's just worn out
contact wise?
TIA
