Interesting sd card problem - General Questions and Answers

I have an 8GB micor Sd card. In a card reader on my computer it is not recognized. In android devices it is recognized, but says that there is an error. Formatting does not fix the issue, and the phone will not mount it. Any thoughts?

Did you already tried another computer ? There may be a driver issue.
You could go to the website or your brand computer and download the newest drivers (Chipset)

There are some possible reasons
<OL>
<li>drivers for sd card host adapters not installed</li>
<li>sd card or sdcard mounter on phone/pc is broken</li>
</OL>
Best solution: buy a new sd card...there may be several detailed methods to fix this too
Hit thnx pls

Not the drivers, other sd cards work fine. Not the phone, my 32gb micro works fine in that. So, I mean, thanks guys. But, I have tried all of those.

[Q] Can't mount SD card on computer

I am trying to move everything from one SD card to another one. I figured using the computer would be the quickest approach vs trying to use the tablet.
However, the original SD card won't mount on the computer. It says it needs to be formatted. So now I'm not sure the best approach. I'm sure I'll figure something out before I get an answer here since I don't have the patience to wait , but would like the answer for future reference.
There are a few threads on sd cards but didn't find a good answer.

I think more info is needed to give a helpful answer.
What kind of computer and what version OS are you running? Also what brand of SD card and how big is it?
.
Windows 7 computer. Both cards are Sandisk. The original that computer wont recognize is regular sdhc. New one is sdhc ultra. Both are 32gb

So they are SD not Micro SD. What brand card reader do you have?
Do you have Kies on your Win7 Computer? I had some issues with sandisk memory when kies was running so I uninstalled it and everything is now fine.

MicroSD. I had enough memory in the tablet that I just ended up copying the data from the original card into memory and then swapping cards. It appears the problem was a defective microSD adapter card. Used a new adapter card and it worked. Ugh.

(did a lot of googling tried many formatters none worked)
Try these:
1. Unmount SD card in your device, and mount it again.
2. Connect it to a PC using a card reader, and run CHKDSK.
3. Format the SD Card in a digital camera or a Nokia phone.

SD card Issues

Hello every one i got this phone doogee dg310 before couples of days.
Everything is fine just one a little problem. When i put my external sd card its working. Than i try to plug phone via usb and transfer file to sd card everything is good but after 3 time connecting to pc and doing file tranfer and when i disconnect from pc i got problem. I am try to open any of files explorer and its get crash. and I am trying restart phone nothing helps. And even when i try put another card is the same. But the strange thing is that when i formating my sd card with computer and put back to phone is working fine and another card working fine until iam using file tranfer with usb 3 times. Phone andorid is kitkat 4.4.2 Maybe you know how to solve it ?
You haven’t mentioned about the storage capacity of your SD card. If your phone can support 32 GB then I suggest you to use 16 GB SD card. Try to connect your SD card with another PC and try again.
My phone spports 32 gb cards and mine card is 4 gb. Maybe its kitkat fault because i read that another people have similar problems with sd card and they are using a kitkat android.
I am trying to use sd card adapter and its the same problem and when this problem apear no sd card working until format, it even show that not sd card are turned on even internal.

I think it's crushed. Use a windows 7 based PC and connect sd card to it . Press format on the pop up menu and also press recover bad sectors . In most cases it will fix your problem . Search on internet for any mem. card repair tool and that might be help you .
Regards,

Ok thanks I will try. Maybe you can recomend good tool to repair sd ?
unfortunately but its the same bug i am connect to my laptop with windows 7 and format and also scan for bad sectors and trying this with usb and after 4 time transfaring files i got the same problem

I'm having a similar issue when I install or move a game to the external SD. All the games are gone from the app drawer and just force close. Have you figured out a fix for this yet?

sd card write problem

hi yesterday I unexpectedly remove sd card (samsung) without unmounting from htc u11 now I can not write to it. can not format the sd card from phone as well from pc. recently I updated my htc u11 to oreo also. I dont know is it because of unexpectedly remove of sd card or oreo update because I dont remember that after oreo update I use(means download something) my sd card. If anyone have the solution thanx in advance.
How old was sd card? Could be just bad luck, and card died, happen to me. And what pc - win version you tried formated? It should let you do it whitout any problems.
If the external sd card was being written to at the time it was disconnected then it will be broken. If it wasn't then try to recover it using a pc.
The oreo update won't have changed anything with the external sd card so you can rule that out.
Sometimes, when you pull out the memory card unexpectedly (also the pen drives or even memory sticks on pc) you can lock the card. It denies to write on it. This happens due to the chip controller of the memory card. The only solution is to repair it on PC with special software tools from manufacturer or from russian/chinese/vietnamese forums which can reset that lock 'flag'. That sw contains drivers to raw access the chip controller.

Hi,
Try to format your SD Card using this tool "MiniTool Partition" on Windows.

Windows doesn't do the right job to format SD Cards.

thanx for your reply I use it(minitool partition) and also easeus but no one work. They show that your disk is formated but when I check in explorer data is still there. Is there any other software or method to format.

Try to search something like that: 'mass production utility', usually under this name you can find utilities to access the chips. It is time consuming to find what chip/controller your card use and find an utility which can access that chip since samsung do not publish such a tool...
You can try ChipGenius or another sw to find details, you may digg in sites like 'http://www.flashdrive-repair.com' to find a way of repair.
