Hello. Recently just got a 8gb class 6 micro sd card for my HTC Desire (CDMA). When I put the card it it's not being picked up by the phone. Not giving me any kind of error message in the notification bar, just acts like no SD card is installed. My previous card was an 8gb class 2 card that came with the phone, so I know it can do high capacity. Threw the card in a card reader and re-formatted it FAT32, still nothing. Tried putting the card in a friends Samsung Galaxy and it picked up fine. Also my old card still works when I put it back in the phone, so I'm truly stumped here. The phone is rooted but Im not running any custom roms..
Well i think the problem in in your phone. Maby some dust on those golden pins or something you cound try another card to check if its the card or phone itself.

My old card works fine in my phone, and the new card worked in a friends phone, and on my PC. Tried re-formatting (FAT32 and FAText) and naming the volume. For some reason my phone just won't pick it up. No error messages or anything, just acts like there is no micro sd card in it.
Just thought I should let you all know about my recent experience with this microSD card.
The Part number is SDSDQY-016G-A11 or SDSDQY-016G-A11A
I bought one from my local Best Buy after finding the item was marked down from $49.99 to $17.99. At first, my initial thought was "Done!" I took it home, opened the package and began transferring everything from my 8gb card to this new 16gb class 10 card.
Now, here is where the problem starts. I do not know if I did not take the necessary prerequisites for this particular card, but, after about an hour of just basic copying of data to the new card, I was struck with a CRC error and the card forced ejected itself from the USB host. I removed the card and put it back in to see what happened and found a corrupted directory from the last thing the card was copying. I couldn't access it or delete it. I couldn't copy anything into the card either. I tried formatting, to which it would complete the operation with a "This card could not be formatted." message at the end. I tried downloading different partitioning software to delete the partition, format the unallocated space and create a new partition to which I was "then" greeted with a variety of "This card is locked/Failed Operation/Space cannot be formatted/Partition could not be created." I gave up. I went back to Best Buy and exchanged the card for a new one. I thought "F*** me right? I got lucky with a bad card."
Nope.
Same thing with the new card, except it happened within 5 minutes of copying anything onto the card. This time around, I decided that I am not going through all of that again and returned the card.
Again, I do not know if I took all the necessary prerequisites before handling the card, but, to my knowledge I do not think there could be anything.
Instead, I jumped over to Hhgregg and found a different model SanDisk 16gb microSD card. I was able to copying over everything over to that card the first time and without a problem.
Also, in case it's asked, the phone did pick up the card initially before anything was copied. After the problem's arose, the phone refused to mount the card at all.
So, if anyone was considering picking up this card, its up to you what you want to do. Just Beware.
I found that the SanDisk USB device/ other SanDisk Adapters was causing errors in the 15 or so misc cards I put through it. Were you using it? or was it in your phone?
I went with the 64GB SDXC and no issues since.
At first I used the supplied adapter which is when the first card gave out. The second card I used a different adapter. A USB based one and it still gave out but much faster. Initially I tried with the card in the phone, but it kept force ejecting itself from the USB host as soon as I started. I thought it was the cable at fault.

I have the same problem i purchased 16gb ultra yesterday and today i m unable to format this card in NTFS system it formatted succesfully in fat32 bt the speed i get white transferring any file is jus 3.5-4 mbps olease help any solution for that??
I have a 7 months old SanDisk ultra 32gb and it's still very good. I have better speeds when copy inside the recovery than inside the rom.
Did you report it to Best Buy?
this is my second last port of call i have a galaxy s2 i9100 running jelly bean 4.1.2...i have a kingston 16gig class 10 micro sd card for the phone now its been working just fine for the last couple of months until a few days ago, i went to get something out of the card and noticed it somehow unmounted it self, it gave no options to re mount if i pressed format it did nothing at this point i was getting worried i have so many pictures and videos saved on this card of family functions, so i took it out put into the pc and the pc wont recognise it if i go to device manager its very slow to refresh but when it does it still doesnt find the card at this point i have no way of getting into the card at all what i wanted to know is
1. is it possible that if the card reader in the phone is faulty could it damage the card to point where it cant be recognised at all in windows?
and
2. does anyone know how i can possibly get into this card to retrieve this info?
ps. at the moment im running a 2 gig backup card to see if its the reader in the phone but so far so good any help would be appreciated
My sd card wouldnt work after less than 1 year of use. Unfortunately, only a few files were saved because it lagged and neither the computer or my smarthpone would read it.
However, formating it solved the problem.
Some personal experience.
Ironically, I also own a Kingston. Now I just use it for music storage.
Every time I swap a battery from my charger into a phone, it does not recognize the SD card. I power down and then swap the battery. It again recognizes in a day or two. Anybody know what could be the problem? This is Sandisk 32 GB. Worked fine with my S4.
Have you tried reformatting the card yet? I had a similar issue when I went from the Streak to the Note 1. I eventually reformated the card and it stopped happening, but the card failed completely shortly after. Not sure what happened. Everything was normal before I switched phones and seemed normal (for the couple of weeks befored it failed) after I reformatted the card.

I have an issue with it unmount in and remount in my sd card. Some of my pictures also dissappear and come back and some im not able to view.
Yes I reformatted but the card is a goner. It is not recognized at all now. Just ordered another one Samsung 64 GB EVO from Amazon. Hope this will work longer than Sandisk. Anybody know how to get my music from iTunes from my MAC on Edge? On my S4 I had used Kies but any other options?
I have had my S7 since pretty much the beginning, I was fortunate enough to receive mine fairly early compared to others. Along with purchasing my new phone, I got a Samsung 64GB EVO Class 10 SD card to take advantage of the expandable storage. Everything had been going find until earlier today. I noticed that I got a notification that my SD card was corrupt, I didn't think it was that big of a deal as I didn't have very much data on the card as of yet so I clicked the option to format it. The phone seemed to be having issues reading the actual card as it couldn't seem to format it, an error kept popping up saying that the command had failed. I then put the SD card into my laptop to see if I'd have any more luck with it, and sure enough windows told me that the only way the card could be read was if it was formatted. After formatting the card through my computer, I put it back into my phone. It worked for about 5 minutes or so before telling me it was corrupt again, I'm not exactly sure where to go from here.
I had this Samsung 64GB EVO Class 10 Micro SDXC Memory Card with Adapter (MB-MP64DA/AM) from amazon with my S4 with no problems since it went on sale back in December. Last Friday I got the same message that it was now corrupt and I need to format it. My computer cant see it and I have some intense data recovery software that cant help either. Since those little SD cards have a 10 year warranty I got on the phone to Samsung. I spoke with a Samsung Galaxy expert and they advised me to call their Micro SD support team at 1-800-726-7864. I'll call them tomorrow and report back what they say.
Prolly got a fake from amazon
Amazon do insist they don't sell fake cards, however I have had the exact same problem with the exact same memory card, also bought off amazon. I've used this card in a few different phones with no issue, however upon installing it in my GS7, within a few days I got the same error message as described here. I have contacted Amazon and have had a replacement card (same one) and will see how it goes. I'm on about day three so far with no apparent issues. Tick Tock Tick Tock.....
I'll probably call them up also.. but I think I'll see what happens with yours before I just destroy another SD card
Just got off the phone with Samsung. They're sending me a RMA form to fill out through my email for a replacement. After the whole amazon fake SD card fiasco they're going through they are being very helpful so far. If you can return to amazon it will probably be quicker but I am at day 100 or so with this card.
I think I have the same problem. I have a Samsung card also (not evo) and have used it in several phones without a problem until now. In my case the card corrupts at reboot. I managed to f around and somehow the card was readable again (after re-inserting several times). However on the latest reboot I the phone no longer detects the card at all.
I doubt I have a fake card as I have been using it for over a year now and almost filled the capacity (64GB). I even formatted it when I first inserted into the GS7.
I have since ordered a new card but I hope this phone is not going to be killing cards!
RMA received. Samsung wanted a jpg or pdf of sales receipt and a pic of the back of the card. Card will be mailed to Samsung at my expense ($2 ish) and a new unit will be sent out. Fingers are crossed that the fast charge tech isn't sending card killing voltage spikes through the phone.
Just a quick update guys, in case it helps anyone, but my new card replaced from Amazon is working OK so far without issue.
Update, whilst it hasn't killed my SD card, I've just had an update and after that it refuses to write to any memory card I have. So I'm returning it tomorrow, it will read OK, but not write to.
I'm using a samsung pro+ 64GB card with my S7 and that annoying SD card notification keeps popping out. Sometimes I could see another notification said SD card removed/unmounted unexpectedly then the annoying notification. I've tried using an old 32GB TF card and I've never seen this annoying notification.
My guess is that S7/S7E have some compatibility issue with even Samsung's own newer and faster SD cards.
I'm waiting anxiously for an OTA hoping this is a software issue. I hope my S7 won't corrupt my SD card.
Update: Just received my replacement micro XD from Samsung in less than 2 weeks, very cool. I like their new usb card reader, very slick. Well see how long this lasts. I also just had a OTA update to the S7. Lets see what they fixed.

Same issue
Exactly same scenario as bensto23 first described, same SD card, however....I replaced that 64GB Samsung EVO with a Patriot 128GB and after about 2 weeks the same message popped up. But when I put this card in my laptop it couldn't see a problem (the Samsung was unreadable). So the Patriot went back in and everything was good until about a week later....same thing. S7 says the card is corrupted but it's not and works fine after removing and replacing. Haven't had time to call Samsung support but obviously this looks like an ongoing issue. So frustrating since this phone has been so flawless otherwise.
My S7 is in for repair as I type this. It's 6 weeks old. I had a 64GB SD card that I had used in my S5 for 18 months with no issues. I didn't have an S6 due to lack of SD slot and not waterproof. At 3 weeks old, the 64GB card developed a problem. I removed it from my S7, put it in my laptop, only to find it was corrupted, and I couldn't do anything with it. I put it down to being one of those things, and bought a 128GB SD. 3 weeks in again, and exactly the same fault! It is a hardware issue with the S7. I put my 32GB SD card in from my LG Leon, and the S7 wouldn't read that either. Be interesting to see what Samsung will do about replacing cards that have been destroyed by a phone!
Think i might be facing the same problem. When i put in a Sd card my phone freezes up a couple of times a day and without a sd card it running fine. I even think it messed up my first sd card because even after a format i cant write files bigger then 1 gb onto the card without getting a error on the computer. Also i can only do a quick format and if i do a full/long one it will eject the drive and fails every time. Im to scared to try a new sd card and think ill send this one back for warranty.
corrupt sd card
i have same problem with A7(2016) but i use 64GB U3 kodak SD card. it works fine until last week. i saw that i cant play musics so open memory by ES file Explorer and it says that empty. but when connect it to my loptop it had no problem and i find some files that recently created and remove files with 0 byte size. then connect memory to my phone it works nice but some day later the sd corrupts again and i repeat every thing i do last time and it work but sometime later corrupt again. i am confused how i can stop this cycle
help if can please
sorry my english language is not good
Every phone I've had, every forum for that phone, complains of issues with Samsung cards, I would never touch Samsung cards. I've never had an SD card corrupt or fail but then i've never bought a Samsung card.
Got the same problem. Every time I reboot or unmount the external sd-card, the card becomes "corrupted". When I put the card in my PC it's just fine. I can read and write to the card.
I've got the 128gb sd card from Samsung (got it for free with the purchase of the phone).
Getting sick and tired of having manually backup and restore to my SD-card when I reboot my phone. Does anyone has a solution for this?
**EDIT
This must be software related, since when I do not reboot, the SD-card works perfectly fine. It only happens when I reboot or unmount.
had the same problem in my s7, it turned out for me the culprit is when I enable the pics saving to extsd option in camera. this corrupts my extsd.
before extsd it worked perfectly fine for days and weeks and survived plenty of reboots in the S7 (and in my previous phones as well), but as soon as I enabled the pics saving from camera to extsd option in the s7, at next reboot the message about corrupted camera came out. I can replicate this problem with these exact steps, so it is 100% sw issue for me, and related to that option in camera settings... if I use my intsd for camera pics, everything works just fine, I can see and access all my other content in the extsd etc.......
