I also had some issues with micro SD 32gb. Phone always lost connection with the card. I've bought a new one to figure if it comes from the card or the phone...

I would try and see if the SD card can be read by a computer just to make sure its functioning. I heard that S3's could burn out cards sometimes. Its happened twice to me. If he computer doesn't read it, there is a possibility that the card is shot.

I have the same problem. Anyone with a fix? Thanks!
I've went through two sd cards since last November, both SanDisk. I would go ahead and call them to get the warranty process started, might be going bad.

I hate to bump an old topic but I didn't want to make a new thread dealing with the same issue. I bought a new 32gb class10 microsd and my GS3 is really flaky when it comes to reading it. Sometimes it recognizes it but most of the time it doesn't. I know it's not the card because it still works just fine in my laptop and in a crappy android tablet I had lying around. I reformatted it using my computer and using TWRP recovery and it still won't work properly.
16GB card instead of 32GB
Has anyone seen where using a 16GB card instead of a 32GB card helps? This 32GB Sandisk card I have is brand new and formatted FAT32. It kind of defeats the whole purpose of having an S3 if the external SD doesn't work. I gave my HTC One to my son because I thought it would be cool to have more storage with the S3.

I would also be interested in a fix, not a workaround. I have tried all the "workarounds" and they do not fix this problem. I have tried all manner of microSD cards, including a SAMSUNG branded card. I have tried plugging into the computer and mounting and unmounting USB properly. I have tried the "catch it and manually mount & unmount on the phone and then turn off and back on". None of the microSD cards are the problem, I can see all the data on them in a card reader on my computer.
My WAG at this problem is that it is something inherent to the way this phone acts when plugged into a computer. Something about mounting and unmounting over USB gets it all confused. The problem (I am guessing) might be that this phone is basically set to automount whenever plugged into a USB device. On my HTC, the phone would just charge on USB unless you specifically clicked on a notification, to turn on USB storage mode. The SG3 does not have this feature...you don't get a choice. I see the selection boxes for either MTP or Camera, but you have to choose just one or the other, you cannot just choose nothing. Sometimes I just want to plug the phone into a computer USB just to charge it, but I cannot choose for it not to mount the phone and/or storage, and that means I can't use my phone as a phone because it is in USB mode when it's plugged into the computer. Ugh.
I am a complete n00b at this, but it seems like there are a lot of uber-knowledgeable members here who must understand what's going on with this situation. It just seems to me that there must be some way to sort of "reset" the state of the card slot, to the known state. Because the phone obviously is having trouble figuring that out on its own.

Yep, running stock (4.3 OTA)...just rooted, that's all. My bad, I just realized I *can* use it as a phone when it's on USB...which seems not right, but maybe that's just what I was used to before--unable to use as phone when USB mounted (on my HTC). My family had told me they were getting weird messages when they'd try to call, during times I was on USB, and I assumed it was the USB mount when it was apparently something else.
But, the problem remains, I can't seem to have it NOT mounted as USB when it's plugged into my computer, or other device. And that seems to be what causes the microSD to get all fouled up. This phone is pretty new to me, and I didn't have any problems until I plugged the USB into the computer with a microSD card in it. My step-daughter has another Samsung phone (Exhibit, maybe??) and she says hers does the same thing when she plugs it into a computer.
I have always removed it from the computer properly, whenever there is an option for me to do so. Problem is, it will show up as mounted on the phone and computer (only the phone and not the card, if my phone thinks the card is unmounted), but I don't always get an unmount (or eject) prompt on my computer. And, the phone apparently doesn't have a way to do that manually, either. In those cases, I just turn off the phone before I unplug the USB. I thought that would be the best choice in that scenario...? Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it.

U have ur fone plug but on ur pc ur sdcard is not being read correct?
Try settings/development options /usb debugging (i think its under there i haven't used stock in a while)
If that dont work i suggest putting that card into ur pc to see if it reads it on its own. If ur pc dnt read sdcards or dnt have a adaptor then use a different device
Back up ur file and format it
For paragraph 1
U want ur phone plug into ur pc but Not Mounted.. Ok i dnt have a stock fone to see if theres options but u are rooted so that gives options. U have Superuser correct? .. Now i would do some digging to see if i can help u

Yes, my phone is plugged into pc but sd card not being read (because phone thinks it's unmounted). USB debugging is on. The card keeps unmounting in the phone, but then if I take the card out of the phone and put it back in the phone, and the phone finally reports it mounted--I still cannot see the sd card on computer. (probably because the phone unmounts it again pretty immediately) I get no sd card errors, just the message that it was "unexpectedly removed". If I pull out the sd card and read through a card reader on computer, it reads just fine. I have already tried reformatting, both on the phone, then on the computer, then a full format on the computer (unchecking Quick Format). Nothing has worked permanently. The phone keeps getting its panties in a wad and unmounting the card. Then sometimes, it will randomly mount it again, only to unmount it again later. One hugely weird thing I've noticed, that I am not sure whether it is coincidental or not, but sometimes once it's mounted, and I go to put the back cover on my phone, it gets unmounted while I'm doing that.
And I do have Superuser. I also have Triangle Away (set to auto reset at boot--should I uncheck that??), adbd Insecure (didn't know if I needed it but got it just in case), and Mobile Odin (which I've never used). And TWRP recovery. And by the way, the external sd card disappeared once when I was trying to use it through TWRP recovery. So, should just go back to 100% unrooted 4.3 stock with stock recovery and see if that clears it up? (Thinking that if I still have the problem at that point--then the phone itself is just defective...?)

I've tried several different sizes/classes. What I have in there now is a 32g class 10 Transcend card. I can write to it from the phone and read it on the PC when the phone is mounted, but only if the stupid phone doesn't randomly decide to unmount the card. So, maybe it actually *is* the hardware that's hosed. Are you rooted on 4.3? Just trying to figure out if that makes any difference with the sd card situation.
If u took the 4.3ota u shouldn't have twrp custom recovery or non tw rom will brick ur fone. Leave those settings as it

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 !

ive had SD cards fail a few times without rhyme or reason, but corrupted data by doing the above more than once.
Go to Phone Settings> Storage Settings> Unmount SD card> Erase SD card.

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 !
After searching a lot in XDA, I found a thread which can help you.

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.

Nice to read that you are out of trouble now.

ROM: CM 11-20140204-NIGHTLY-skyrocket
I've done some searches and was not able to find anyone with the same issue as me. So, erased my SD card through the ROM (Settings > Storage > Erase SD card
I rebooted the phone,and it told me there was a blank SD card in there and I needed to format it. Well, every time I try to format it, my phone reboots. I tried doing it through recovery, and it told me error mounting SD card.
Any ideas on how to fix this or is my SD card shot? It was working perfectly fine before I erased it. I would plug it into a computer, but i don't have an adapter.
Thanks in advance!
Format it in your computer. Use FAT32 file system and do a quick format.

its not really an adapter, its the usb cable that came with the phone or any samsung cable, blackberry cable and many others might even work
Vin his problem isn't the cable bro it formatted incorrectly the phone doesn't recognize it and can't mount it via recovery to format it. He just needs to toss it on a computer and do it from there.

yea....tried it via USB and couldn't get it to work. Guess I need to find an adapter so I can get it connected directly to my computer. Thanks for the help everyone.

adapters are really cheap anyways

No error... Just the internal card showed up. I tried mounting it and then plugging in the phone, same thing. Really strange. Yea, adapter isn't a huge deal, just caught me off card that it reboots my phone when I try to format it through the ROM.
