External SD card doesn't work??

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.

32gb sd card

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?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

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.

The file format in order for the Samsung to read it must be Fat32, it's not the most efficient file partition setup, however Samsung does not read anything other than that right now, the card is probably formatted in some other type of format like NTFS. Search on the Samsung S3, using "Format SD Card", or something with SD Format in the search and you will find there are a bunch of apps for formatting the card for the Samsung.
Hope this helps

Completely untrue (it has to be FAT32 for CWM to read it, but not for the phone).
I porposefully DO NOT format my 64 gig cards to FAT32 as I have movie rips that are over 4 gigs & FAT32 will not allow over a 4 gig file size.
I have two 64 gig cards & both work fine just as they came out of the box.

so, why isnt vista recognizing my card? I also just noticed something as well..vista has started seeing the card but under computer settings it says ricoh sd device, but my other micro sd cards says secure digital storage device. I may have messed this card up popping it in and out of every device i could find..lol
update: I put it in my rezound and wiped the micro sdcard and i think thats why its saying ricoh storage device instead of secured digital storage device..If so will it harm or diminish the performance of the card?

Don't worry dude. I got a bad one myself. Got halfway through transferring all my data and then the card stopped transferring and hasn't worked since. Tried to nuke and boot it, HP format tool, fedora Linux, two different phones and nothing.
I just called and they are shipping me a new one. Since it will be a couple days I might mess with this one just hoping.
Edit: Something that shouldn't have changed anything. I put it in my htc rezound with amon ra, did usb toggle mode, and formatted, and it worked fine....stupid!

exfat is not compatible with cwm recovery...if you plan on running any rom other than stock, you will need to format as fat32.

Cool, thanks... I just want to make sure as to what im seeing when i pop the card in and hit format. the program is showing E:29, what exactly does that mean? It doesnt give me an option to go any higher

The phone formats the card as "basic hierarchical." not sure if it can be used with cwm

Yes, that's what it means. Download EaseUS partition manager. Format the card with that. The guiformat program didn't work for me, kept coming up as sd card damaged.

I think It may be PC related..
1. formatted it in phone which gave me 59.4gb
2. put in my gf laptop which has windows 7, then downloaded easeus and formatted the 59.4gb it gave me to fat32
3. put the card in my laptop which has vista and it asked me to format it before use(but i didnt)
4. put it in my galaxy s3 rebooted to recovery twrp and it recognize the card...
So would you say its pc related?

64GB micro sdxc "damaged", unable to format

So I've been looking around for help on this across various sites and I've had no luck fixing my problem.
I'm running the most recent CM10 nightlies, which I read might influence which formats the phone can read, and even after I formatted the card to FAT32 via the gui app and easeUS partition editor my phone still says my card is damaged. When I try to format it it just says "unmounting card" with the spinning circle and sits there, never unmounting and formatting like it wants to. I tried to mount/unmount and format in CWM, no dice. This card is brand new out of the package today so there's been no previous use or problems.
Am I just going to be unable to use this card while running CM10, would I have to go back to a TW ROM or stock to make it read correctly? It will show up on my computer when I plug it in and files transfer to it fine so I figure it's a problem on the phone's side. My old 16gb card from my DX works fine and that's what I'll use in the meantime but the space is dangerously low, hence why I jumped on this 64gb card when it was an Amazon deal.
If anyone has some insight or experience with this I'd really appreciate it, I'm guessing it's a problem with CM10 or I missed some tiny step somewhere but I've tried a lot and had no success.

What exactly is the partition editor you used, and why? The GUI program to format it to fat32 is sufficient...
I would guess either it's the card(what brand btw?) or the partition editor.

It's the "SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQUA-064G-U46A", I've noticed a lot of GS3 owners have been buying something similar or the same.
I used EaseUS Partition Master as well as the fat32 gui program that's been circulating, sounds like you know the one, and while the format was successful the phone still sees the card as damaged and won't completely unmount the card when I try to format it like it says.

Ah ok, looks like I'll have to buy an sd-usb plugin then.

Had the same issue on two different cards and eventually they said that they were an unsupported raw format. Called sandisk and they said there are a lot of issues with the 64gb class 10 cards and the SGSIII. I am on my third one. This one has been working almost perfectly. I often get a unmounting remounting issue with the card, but I am not blaming the card yet as ever since I flashed the cracked aboot I have been having odd issues. I am going to put my phone back to stock and start over here today or tomorrow.

I fixed it
I bought a multi-SD plug-in with USB, slid my card in there, ran the gui on the card, put the card back in my phone and it worked fine, the phone recognizes it. For whatever reason the card didn't want to format while it was in the phone despite my manipulations, so plugging the SD into the computer is crucial I think.
Thanks for the support guys.

I have done everything described here, and still have what the OP says. Card is not recognized, like its not even plugged in to the phone, is formatted as FAT32 and works in windows.

Well, I literally fought this for 3 hours, and finally I just deleted the entire partition and formatted the card in the stock ROM. Then I pulled the card and formatted with EaseUS partitioner as FAT32 and put it back in and it worked. Then I flashed back to CM10 and it still works.

How frustrating this is....

[Q] Micro SD card problem

Hello all and everyone who may be able to help me out! I recently got a new phone (galaxy nexus) and decided to root and s-off my evo 3d. After another sad fail at s-off, my sd card was acting up. When its in a phone, it will say the card is blank or it is using an unsupported file system. Upon formatting option nothing happens. When i insert the sdcard into an adapter and put it into my computer, i can navigate to my computer and when i try to get into the drive, "my computer" crashes and i have to remove the card to get back to the start screen. I can use the drive for other things but it just wont read this card and makes the computer freeze. ive tried programs and whenever i try to select the drive, again the program im using crashes. Other cards work fine so it seems the card itself is the problem. worked fine before. Can anyone help me out here?

Had a similar problem a while back seems i had forgot to remove the password before plugging the card into my pc. Not sure how that will help you here tho.

replace the card and check if it is working than the card is defected

Is your phone able to read/detect your card?
If yes then:
Go to Phone Settings> Storage Settings> Unmount SD card> Erase SD card.
Report if that works.

If it's dead, most reputable manufacturers offer a warranty on their cards. Go to their website & look up the procedure for getting an RMA. That's much cheaper than buying a new card.

When the cards in my phone, it gives a notification saying that is an unsupported file system or that it is A blank SD card. When it is in the phone it will not let me erase. when I select Format, it's just kind of stops. and if I select it again, nothing. Can't use unmount or mount as they are greyed out. Wish I could format it.

I had a similar problem figuring out that moving Apps to external sd and then removing this sdcard CAN DESTROY the sdcard controller - better unmount card then remove it or switch phone off and remove it !
Even more worst - it's still working sometimes on any PC with adapter - if you have warranty on that sdcard i would replace it in the store bought !

Maybe i had luck - but since the failure i have been very carefully !
Nowadays sdcards should beeing built that writing more than 100000 times should be possible - so such an error should also not occur
but what the sdcards are very sensitive is heat - temperatures above 55 ° C (131 F) is almost a no go! (or increasing failure rate drastically !)

No when this failure appears - formatting is not possible anymore - the "controller" inside the sdcard is defect !

Just by replying with some information your helping me out. I have tried many SD card repair tools but when the card is in my computer, and if I do anything related to the card, the program just crashes until I pull the card out. I will post a video later. I've never seen this before. If nothing works I'm just gonna get another.
