Hi guys im having an issue with a 32gb Kingston sd card, whats happening is that everytime i add files to my sd card from my computer it will show them to me that they are there. But once i put the sd card in my phone the new files i transfer wont appear :/. Ive formatted my sd card already like couple times and still does the same. Never did that to my 8gb card, and top of that when i transfer all my data from the 8gb to the 32 only half transferd and when back n fourth doing it folder per folder and just wouldnt show anything on the phone. Any suggestions, thank you

Going to take a guess and say you're on CM? If so I had problems with my 32GB too but on stock roms it works. I had to get a 16GB to use under CM. I'm not sure of the problem but there was my fix

Are you rebooting the phone after putting back the microsd? Sometimes that works.

As matter fact havent tried on Cm, im on MIUI right now. But im giving it one more try with the formatting see what happens if not will go to Eagle Blood see how that goes.
Yeah im since i noticed my sd card wouldnt show up unless would have to reboot. some files have been transfering but like awhile ago i d-loaded the files that needed for the game Modern combat 2 and after finished i rebooted or just quit playing and tried playing again and have to be redowloading the files over and over again since nothing stays on my sd card :/

That sucks, sounds like a bad sdcard. You still got the receipt?
I got my 32gb lexar class 10 with USB SD reader for just under 50 and its been issue free. Never liked Kingston products.

Tried formatting it using the phone itself? Miui is based off cm7 so that could be the issue as well.

Won't let me format it from phone since as soon as I put it in tells me "safely to remove card now" so kinda like automatically ejectects itself when I put it in. N got another problem :/ I bitlocked the sd card in my windows 7 laptop and as I was transferring files my wire was loose and we'll lost the connection and of course gave me files transfer error. But the problem now is that since I bitlocked the sd card won't let me get in it anymore, even though i put my password I put for the sd card. Just says something error with files and blah blah ;/. Can't even format or or anything anymore ;/

Found the solution for this problem with the bit locker > I mounted my sd card on my xp SP3 and formatted it and gave me the ize of 514mb i was like what. But i still did it and when i mounted it on my windows 7 i formatted again and this time showed me the 32gb size . So now its working properly.yeah buddy.

Moving from Weapon X to Miui rom my sdcard was detected fine but then after a couple of days of using Miui I wasn't able to open up sdcard when connected to my pc. It shown that usb is detected on my phone.
It only work when I restore back to WeaponX. I tried flashing different Miui roms, EagleBlood and PhoenixBlood. None detect my sdcard on pc except for WeaponX. I also tried to format my sdcard. Didn't work.
Anyone got any suggestion??
Try reinstalling ure usb drivers or not just restart the computer that would help with me. Or have you tried it with a card adapter?

If you've tried it both with the USB cord and with an sd card reader, it might just be a bad sd card. This happened to me with a Samsung 16gb. I couldnt add or delete anything on it. Simply had to get a new sd card. Try out Lexar or PNY if you want a good one.

I can not get the external SD card to work. It worked at first when I got the phone but now nothing happens when I try to mount it....I can format it within the phone and it even shows up as the folder "sd" within Astro but I can't move files to it at all on the phone or by drag/drop on the PC...
Anyone else with this issue or a known way to fix it?

Have you tried a different card or tried the card on your PC? Do both the internal and external storage drives come up when you connect to the PC? My Captivate once gave me a no external SD message when there was one in there. Took it out, reseated it and it was fine.
It worked when I put it in the first time but ebert since I took it it when doing a restore with odin 3 it doesn't work anymore not even with stock firmware

Is this a name brand card (Sandisk, Kingston, etc?) or a noname special? The cheap cards have high failure rates. You could try a PC USB reader, but you may have a dud.
Try a friends card and see, just to rule out your phone SD port.
Hi I'm having trouble getting my phone to read the sd card. When I put it in it says safe to remove sd but apart from that the phone doesnt even register that the card is in? I have had the sd card in my laptop for a while but formatted it first. I have a friend and its the same for his android but the 2gb he got with his phone works fine. Is there some sort of file structure that has to be on the sd for the phone to pick it up? Really need help thanks.
CM7 BTW

No special structure i would fully format the card as fat 32 not quick format .

Ok thanks for the reply. Also read that formatting in recovery mode could work? That was for a diff phone though with the same problem

The sd-ext in CWM actually isn't what you're thinking it is. In CWM, SD-EXT is referring to one specific folder on the external SD card, not the whole card, and if that file isn't there, it throws up that error.
If you can see your external card by putting it in an adapter and hooking it up to your computer, I'd suggest moving everything off the card and onto your computer, formatting the card (FAT32, I believe), and then putting it back into your phone.
See if that helps.
Hey man.
It did not work!
The ext-sd didn't apears, even, at the configuration menu.
When i connect the celphone to the computers, appears only theo original sd.
I'tryed a friends sd, but it don't read to.
I thinking that is a hardware issue.
What could i do?

I'm not sure how drastic you want to get, but if it's not reading any external microSD cards, you could back up everything on your phone, then flash back to stock and do a master clear. That might set right whatever is messing up. If that doesn't fix it, you might have a hardware issue on your hands.
Thanks for the help!
I'll try this as soon as i can, and post the results in here!

I think I have the same issue. Sometimes it randomly pops up saying "blank SD card" or "damaged SD card" message. And I have to reboot to get the card to work again. And it may fail randomly later. :/

Do you have an adapter for the MicroSD that you could use to put it into your computer (outside of the phone) to test and make sure it's good?
I experienced the same erratic behavior with a new 16gig class 4 SanDisk. But, my 8gig class 4 SanDisk works perfectly. I'm running MIUI,btw. When I flash back to stock kf1, they both work perfectly.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Showcase I500 i was on stock 2.3.5 and i decided to flash a custom rom so i installed newest miui rom for I500 1.12.9 i think.. So my problem is that if i reboot my phone it seems to make the sd card corrupt. which isnt really a problem because i always keep it on. The first time it happened though my phone rebooted on its own and was kind of glitchy. Since then i have had the sd card damaged problem 2 more times but when i rebooted once and once when i pushed files from my computer to my sd card in usb storage mode. i really like this rom but i cant continue to reformat my sd card every couple of days and reload music download album cover redownload themes etc...its getting old... any help would be greatly appreciated. by the way i have tried reformatting with my computer and my phone so i know that wont fix it.

Does the computer recognize the SD card?
On computer format the sd card

Reformat
Reformat your SD card by right clicking -> properties -> and format it. See if this helps. Also, try using another SD card to see if it is just your SD card or your phone that is bad. Deduce and solve
i have tried all of this reformatting from my phone from my computer every which way i could. i have used my disk management and nothing works. i decided to keep my 8 gb in there it is working without flaw. but both the 16 gb ones just keep getting corrupted. This is weird because when i tried installing miui with my 16 gb sd card it wouldnt work so after pulling my hair out for two days i found a post where someone said to use an 8 gb card to install it and i did and it worked perfectly. i guess this phone rom doesnt like 16 gb sd cards.
Hey guys this is my last place to turn before I just go buy a new one but I want to see if anyone at all can help me.
I have a Sandisk 32 GB Class 4 Micro Sd. I bought it off a guy on the xda marketplace and it was in the factory packaging and took me a half hour to get out so I doubt it was fake unless people forge the packaging.
Well the other day I went to copy a file onto the card by mounting it to the computer. It copied just fine but when I unmounted the card and went onto the phone the file was no where to be found. This was off to me so I mounted the card again and it opened fine but there was no file. I then copied it again and it said it worked like it normally does. i unmounted then mounted right away and guess what the file didn't exist.
This is where it gets interesting.
I then mount the card again and select everything and delete it all. It says it works fine. I then disconnect the card then mount it again and guess what all the files are back. Like nothing happened. I then proceed to format in windows by right clicking and hitting format. It didnt do anything. I then go into recovery on the phone and try and format it. Nothing happens. I then connect the card directly to the computer with a micro to sd card adapter that is made by sandisk. It mounts to the computer fine. I then go into Easeus Partition Manager and click format. It finishes and comes up with an error saying There are some error occurred while writing partition chains on disk.
If anyone has any idea please help.
UPDATE: I have contacted Sandisk and they are going to send me a brand new card.

Is the card detected by the mobile?
If yes, try to format it in the mobile itself with the format option.
Also check how much space it shows , before & after formatting.
Try low level format

Could be a duff card but sometimes I have had this if the card has not been fully un mounted try waiting a couple more minutes before removing the card to give the system time to fully un mount it
Or it will not be written to.

Did you press eject USB every time you pull the cable? Not doing it can corrupt your card
