[Q] (Help!)(Still Unsolved) SDCard Issues (i9003)

We all know the popular SDCard (MicroSD) issues regarding android...
Yes, I know, this is only my 3rd post... I'm not a noob, I've been reading a lot from XDA since its early beginning... I was a symbian developer during its glory days... I do a lot of android but I am not into developing (yet) for it...
Back to SDCards... I've read a lot of post regarding sdcard problems...
My only concern is that the SDCard automatically mounts itself to read only after some read and write operations... I thought this was normal... But after some research, I found out that it was a sign of corruption... The gradual increase of files in LOST.DIR indicates a serious problem...
To give a more concrete evidence regarding this theory, I started testing with 2 Galaxy SL devices, 2 usb cables and 3 SDCards of different class and capacity... I use 2 Galaxy SL's to identify if my unit has a bad card reader...
These are the test that I've managed to perform:
1. Copy Music Tracks to device via Mass Storage
2. Copy files from Internal SD to External SD via phone
3. Download a large file using the phone and save the file to External SD
4. Delete a large group of files in External SD using phone
The Cards that are use are:
1. SD A (class 2)(4 GB)
2. SD B (class 6)(16 GB)
3. SD C (class 10)(16 GB)
These are the Results:
1. Using Mass Storage to copy Music Tracks to SDCard prove to be successfull (All SD's)
2. Copy files from Internal SD to External... The operation finished but after the operation, the sdcard was mounted as read only (SD B and SD A)
3. Downloading a file to SDCard... There are some instances that the download will fail because the SDCard was mounted as Read Only during the progress of downloading (All SD's)
4. There are some instances that Deletion of file suddenly stops... The reason, the SDCard was mounted Read only...
5. Every Instance of an error, a file is created at LOST.DIR (After the filesystem check at boot)
I check all SDCards to look into its integrity (via CHKDSK /R)... All SDCard diagnostic tools found no problem regarding the Cards... I put the same ROM on the phones (Rooted and Deodexed Stock KPQ) and both phones share the same results above... Recently, this problems persist in all the ROM's that I have tried (CM, MIUI, Stock) And all kernels (UC, Vurrut)... I think finding for a solution for our device first would help us create a solution for others too...
Anyone of you having similar issues...? Your solution and comments is highly appreciated... Many people are having these problems... Making data reliability on the SDCards quite frustating...
Is there a way to "permanently" mount SDCard as RW to prevent it from mounting as Read Only... I really hope that there is a solution to this problem...

Hi, I know it's been a moment but I'll share what I've experienced, my sdcard was supposed to be a 32GB one but in reality it was a 4GB one, you can't see it on windows through, lot of files were appearing in that lost.folder once I exceed 4GB and all my MP3 were getting mixed up, corrupted.
The funny part of this is that all steps trying to verify that sdcard (chkdsk) were showing no problem at all, now I bought a real 32GB from Samsung and it works fine
Your sdcard should be corrupted or just a fake one.
From my side I ain't getting any problem concerning the fact that my sdcard mounts itself as R/O

i dont know i have a class6 16-gig sd card and now i have the phone for a motherboard fix. they said that my 16 gig sd card were one of the culprits of the motherboard and usb storage (internal memory) excommunication of my galaxy sl. they prefer that i should use a 4 gig or lower sd card to lessen chances of this to happen again.

that's very strange... how can a sdcard "destroy" the phones motherboard...?

How shall that work? The only thing I could think of is that a device can not handle SDHC, SDXC cards and thus throws a error like "card corrupted", "no sd card", "card not compatible" but break the motherboard?
P.S. Why don't you insert the banner as to your signature in the user cp? Would prevent others to "quote" it.
The interesting thing is that I never had any problems with my cards, neither with my old 4GB class 4-6 or the new 16GB class 10. Also with the situations you mentioned. But now I know a bit better for what this strange LOST.DIR filder is... For me it's empty all the time.

Would you suggest that the phone is the one with problems..? Or maybe the possibility that both of my cards are bad...
Btw.. Can you change the mount of your sdcard using root explorer (r/w and r/o)..?
After formatting my card, the button to mount the sd to read only is gone, but after some time it returns.. Allowing you to mount the sd to r/w or r/o... I think that contributes to my problem

Do you know a way to forcefully mount the card to r/w only..? In a way that the card cannot be mounted as r/o...

Sorry but this is a question I can't answer. I'm not a developer, but I don't think that there is some kind of "permanent" mount.

Samsung Galaxy SL SD card issues
I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it was the native music player because the problem would happen a few minutes after I'd pause music. The phone would restart on it's own, wipe the files on the SD card then restart. I downloaded another music player to try to correct the problem. It worked for a few days then it happened again. It wiped all the files on the SD card. This time it seemed to be worse. After a few minutes it restarted again, and this time wiped all the programs that were saved on the SD card, and reformatted the phone completely (including language and account settings). I have installed the latest firmware, and tried using the phone without a SIM card and it still happens. I basically have an unusable phone. Please help. I haven't tried replacing the SD card but I'm having doubts whether it's because of the SD card why the problem is happening. I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S and I used that card on that phone, and it worked fine. If I buy a new SD card, how would I know what kind to get and are there any other fixes to this issue? Please help!

**UPDATE** SanDisk 64GB Genuine micro SD Ultra Mobile class 10 SDXC

Hi Everyone
I bought the card mentioned below from ebay.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/28094386...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1906wt_1163
I have a couple of questions:
- Why is the transfer rate so slow when transferring files between computer and on to the SD card? It's like up to 2 MB/second.
- I used SDFormatter to format the card. The settings that I have used are Full Erase (Overwrite) and Flash Erase (OFF). When finished, I inserted the card and it's saying SD card damaged? I don't understand. Initially, I converted the file system from exFAT to FAT but the SDFormatter converted the file format back to exFAT.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Sam

Hi, Thanks for your prompt response - So, since now the partition is back as ex-FAT, I would have to convert to FAT and then format the card or would it convert to FAT when I format the card in recovery?

Uhm, little question at this occassion cause I only know about FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 (called vfat by linux when combined with long file names) so far -- what is ex-FAT?
But apart from that: formatting means writing a new file system to a block device [at least nowadays, in earlier times it could also mean write a new sector geometry on a harddisk]. So, it doesn't matter what flavour the old filesystem was.

Some of the reading that I have done with regards to these new types of SD cards from Sandisk, ex-FAT file structure is what they come with and our mobile phones are not eqipped to handle this format so hence the need to convert it to FAT. Now what ex-FAT is, I'm not sure. I'm not at my PC so will have to do some more reading on that one.

Are you sure you actually have a 64gb class 10?
There are A LOT of fakes on ebay where they take a class 2 8gb card and put a class 10 64gb label on it. Most are good enough painted on labels that you cant tell.
They even partition the card with fake info so it says its got 64gb of space....though it fills up with 8gb.
Be very careful with those ebay cards.
Anyway, that might be the reason you are getting slow transfer speeds.

If you can, go for Toshiba, the last time i heard most of the card are made by Toshiba, the other brands just slap a sticker onto it.

Just wanted to add to this conversation, although you normally will not run into this format. Because of Windows Phone 7 on the HD2 I know about this. If the card is formated in a RAID format you will have do w low level format on the card first before you can format it fat anything. So yes rarely it does matter what "flavour" the old file system was. That it should be mentioned.

Well, I got it from a Top ebay seller so I was hoping it'd be genuine. The space on my card when I first formatted said 59gb free.
Please advise what should I do? I will let seller know and see what happens?
Thanks,

I have one other question. I have found Patition Wizard by MiniTool and if I create a partition on the card as EXT4, will our sensation recognize the card?

I have created a partition on the sd card as FAT32 but the phone is still not recognizing the card. arghhh!

Try using a memory card reader and the SDFormatter tool. Fat32, 32K clusters

Most probably you got a low classed sd card and also try formate from your phone using any compitable file manager or using the phones builtin system.
And to test your sd card, google for "h2testw" and test your memory card.

I can't format from my phone because it is not recognizing it and/or having issues with being mounted. Now, it's not even recognizing it when I put it in the adapter. The windows 7 format pop windows says 'Unavailable capacity'. I think it's ****ed Thanks, I'll search for the memory card tester.
Can someone please recommend me another one? 32/64GB. Maybe, I should get a 32GB since a lot of people are having issues with 64GB. The only reason I got 64 was that it was selling cheap. 32GB should be plenty for my needs.

I have tried using SDFormatter with the memory card reader but it always changed the file structure back to ex-FAT, which is not compatible on Sensation.

@I got 64 was that it was selling cheap:
So tell me one thing, you will drive a Mercedes but you only will pay for a small Fiat?
I have an original Samsung 64GB Class 10 sd-card with no issues. They was not cheap at all.
Things you can do is:
a low level format to be shure..
- tool: HDD Low Level Format Tool 4.25 - www.hddguru.com
- that is the tool i am using for all my memory device since years
set up a new partion and format the sd-card..
- tool: EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition - Free for Home Users - www.partition-tool.com
- that tool can format every type and size
Ok that all is running on my 2nd w7 pc. Not my favor OS
When this all is not working with your sd-card, then you have possiblea a fake card.
The low-level-format tool looks deeper then your windows property.
When you have a fake card the LLF tool will stop working after it has reached the max of sectors.

You could have got one from amazon thats what I did

[Q] SD Card Not Writeable?

It seems that my SD card is not writable when inserted. Is this true? I tried to create a new folder on it with root explorer (I am not rooted though) and it said that my device needs to be rooted in order to accomplish that task.
Any ideas?
Jonn

Did you try something like es file explorer? I would try that.

That didn't work either. It says "operation failed".
I actually noticed that it wasn't working playing act raiser and it wasn't saving my position. Moving the ROM to internal storage worked. I then tried to create a folder.

Huh. Just tried a different SD card and that one worked. Weird.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I spoke too soon. After removing the sdcard that worked and putting it back in, it no longer is writeable.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

It works again if I pull the card out, restart the shield and put the card back in. Perhaps something up with the mounting process?
It appears that once a card is mounted, if it is removed and re-inserted, it remounts as read only.
Jonn
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

It looks like sdcard mounting is messed up. I can't get any of the sdcards i have tried to mount.

Did you go into settings and actually click unmount before removing the SD Card? Many linux systems (android is linux) will mount devices which werent safely removed in read only mode for some bizarre reason.

I tried that as well. It still doesn't work.

when you go to storage under settings, under sd card does it show total space for card. if not maybe you have to format it to NTFS first. thats what I had to do with my new card. also said to do so on shield guide

Yes, I formatted it to NTFS before I inserted it. It shows the total space and space available, it just doesn't allow anything to be written to it. I can take it out and put it in a PC and it works correctly. I also have another SD card that I tried and it worked for a few minutes, but I haven't been able to get it to keep working.

sorry I dont know what else to tell you, i first had the same problem like yall when I stuck in a brand new card. nothing I downloaded would go on to card. and it didnt show the amount of space left under the storage menu.

The only memory card I have gotten working (about 1 minute ago) is 512MB and formatted fat32
The card i want to us is a 16gb microsdhc formatted fat32 when this memory card is in my shield it knows it has a memory card but says it has no partitions on it.
I am running testdisk on the sd card and it found 9 partitoins. I will try and clean that up.

To be honest, I've never tried SD card support on the device. So I can't say one way or another. But I'll be looking at it soon enough since I got my first build of CWM for SHIELD waiting for me to debug in the other room once the kids go to bed.

I just tried two different 8GB class 10 transcend cards, an 8GB class 2 generic card and a 256mb sandisk card. I put each card in and copied a file from internal storage to it. Then I removed each of the cards without unmounting and put them back in and proceeded to copy a file to the card again. Every time it worked successfully. I do not even know what format they are in and didn't format them before testing. And, maybe the issue didn't show up because I didn't give it enough time. I am not sure.
Also, I know this is probably a really dumb question but the micro sd slot is spring loaded. You are pushing it in until you hear a good solid click right?

issues
Having issues of my own.
Bought a 64gb sandisk SDXC card for shield. It worked 100% fine in my SGS3 formated for exFat. But not in the shield...
It seems to work somewhat when formated for NTFS. But the file path is really messed up and 1/2 my apps cant see the SD card because of this. It something like (root/storage/sdcard1/....)
2 apps that are basically usless right now due to this are Power amp & FPse.

Android doesn't normally support either exFat or NTFS. The shield may include support for them but if I had a shield I would steer clear anyway and go with what android definitely trusts in FAT32.
Hopefully NVidia will do a firmware update to sort these problems though

[Disussion] Micro SD Cards SGS4 I9505 64 Gb

Recently went from SGS3 to i9505 as Samsung has left us not much space on the 16gb version I purchased a Samsung 64Gb class 10 SDHC card .... Welcome to my nightmare. ...
1. Could not restore via CWM recovery I would always get MD5 mismatch
2. Take a photo it would just dissappear after a couple of hours
3. Folder mount or LinktoSd would not work correctly
4. Media files would not play correctly become corrupt
The CWM not restoring was the worst its kinda like playing Russian Roulette .. So I dusted my 32 Gb card off cleaned it up .....No more problems.
I've noticed alot of people seemed to face the same issues with 64Gb cards . So I thought I would start this thread to see if we can find the common denominator with this issue
Please post your experiences with SD cards here. Should I just write that one off to experience and go buy another 64gb card ??
Which format is best SDHC or SDXC
Should we format exfat ext4 or fat32
Please post any information regarding SD Cards and what dramas you have had

Micro SD on GT-I9505
GALAXY S4
Hello, i just have got a Samsung Class10 not (UHS1) micro SD Card 64GB. And i put it on my Galaxy S4.
All was ok, until I passed some archives from the Internal memory to SD and Recorded some videos, then it appeared a message Saying "Empty Memory Card or Incorrect File Format" and tells me to Format it. Even it says I need to Format when i connected the Micro SD on PC (I connect it Through a Printer SD port with SD Adapter).
Now Im afraid I will lose my recordings and files.
So Should i have Formated it before giving a use?
Well the other detail is that after formatting it, looks like it cant be readed, my printer gets stuck saying Loading Photos.*
So it isn't readable on PC after formatting it on my android device?
Then I tested it on my Canon camera and it reads.
Looks like its defective. Many files got corrupted or simply dissapeared. And if I try to read via card reader on pc it says that doesnt have format and ask me to format it. Anyways it cant be formatted, an error appears.
what should i do with this card?

[Q] Impossible to partition my new micro sd card 64gb

Hello, i have a problem with my Galaxy Tab 2.7.0 (GT-P3110) with omni-4.4.4-20140820-p3110-NIGHTLY rom installed.
I have bought a SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS IT - MB-MPCGC EU (Samsung microSDXC 64GB Class 10 ) micro sd card and I used it out of the box in my PAD without need to format it.
(in Storage i have found it under SD CARD tab (Total Space 58.45 GB not sure if this is ok) but i don't have the option for Formatting it (only Unmount and after it Erase or Mount)
I can see it with Windows 7 via USB MTP mode and copy files on it but not formatting it
I have tested this card with Sdtools and Sdcardtester on the tab without any problem
Now my problem is that i want to use Link2sd to move my apps on the Sd card but i have no way to make the 2 needed partitions on the it
I have tried to see if Mini Tool Partition would able to see the card from the tab's USB in MTP mode without success, i have tried to use a Sd card reader directly on my Pc with the same result (with another microd sd i was able to have it connected in Windows but this card is only 4 gb)
I have tried this also on a different PC without any luck
I tried to make partition on the card in recovery mode (tried with TWRP_2.7.1.2 and PhilZ-Touch-Recovery_6.57.5 and CWM_6.0.5.0) but in none of the 3 i have found the Partition SD card option inside the Advanced menu...
So after trying everything i'm lost
If anyone have any advice or can give me any help on this i will appreciate it

With Aparted (found in the Google Play store) i was able to check the card file system (the app told me that was FAT32 ) and to make 2 partitions
1 Fat32 and 1 ext4 but i still have all the same problems as before also with Link2sd not letting me move apps from the internal memory to the sd but only link them

Now i just need to know the best size to have in the 2 partitions. I'm still unable to move all the app but maybe sooner or later someone will find a solution to this .

I was thinking that my english was so bad that i was misunderstanding your first post

Your English is just fine
The dying honestly depends on what files you need on your sdcard compared to the source the apps you plan to move to your sdcard will take up. I'd either make them both 32GB or one 16 gb and one 48 gb, the larger one obviously for whichever partition needs to be bigger.
