Hi,
I have a samsung galaxy note 2 and i bought a cheap micro sd card from ebay which was a big mistake. the card is 64 gb and i bought it a month ago. it was working fine until yesterday. i got a notification saying safe to remove sd card.i went into storage settings and it says mount sd card. when i mounted it,i got another notification saying blank card and then it asks to format the card. i took the card out and did the same procedure several times but the same thing. i've got important data on the card and have no other backup. i also used the usb cable to connect it to the computer but it only recognizes the phone memory and not the card. i dont have a card reader. i have checked several threads here on xda but i cant find anything related to my problem. please help me....please its really important. thanks.

I bought a card off ebay 6 months ago and its worked fine since. Tonight, my phone seemed to have crashed so i rebooted it, and when it loaded back up a message appeared 'do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? this will permanently delete any files on the card.'
So i click yes, but nothing happens.. i get the same message everytime i reboot and i cannot access my sd card.
I dont have a card reader to try access/format it from my pc..
Ive looked around for answers but cannot find anything decent.
Help!
anybody?...
Never know our phone can format SD CARD. Seems like your data is corrupted, you really need to reformat it using card reader

Are you formatting the sd card as fat32? by default windows will pick NTFS.. worth a look. The phone needs Fat32.
What type of MicroSD card is it?
And where did you get it from?
Is there any possibility it could be a fake? So actually a low capacity card like 2GB (or lower) pretending to be 32GB?
I used to have a program which would write to every sector on the card and prove it's actual size, very handy for checking cards from ebay, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called!
Make sure you are not quick-formatting the card and that you have set FAT32 as the file system
If you can copy files to the card on a computer and then use them, the card is ok. Maybe try the files on a second computer to double-check.
You can also try filling up the card with data... I once bought a 4GB card and only 2GB were working :|

Just open the case, remove the SD and insert the SD back. Wait for a few moments and u will have the files back

Okay so it is been some months that I am using this phone, there is actually no problem with the SD Cards that I have used in the past few months, I bought this new SD Card(that has problem) in the last 1.5 month/s it worked really well and no problem at all. But in the last 2 days, I restarted my phone(changing sim card) turned it back on, then it did not detect the SD Card, I have tried some things like formatting the phone but it did not fix it, I have tried inserting the SD Card into a card reader and insert in my computer it worked, it detected the SD Card, I then tried formatting it from the operating systems formatting tool, I also tried formatting it with SDFormatter V4.0 but it did not fix it. There was a day when my friend tried to edit voldf.stab file from /etc/ since I want it to be like the External Storage will be Internal and vice versa. That is all the informations I can give and is in my mind right now, you can ask more questions regarding this tho thank you so much for reading and I really need help in here. I cannot figure it out.

My assumptions-
-Faulty SD cage (in case you accidentally slotting in SD card with force)
-Recent change in kernel (I really don't know about kernels, check the other thread)
-Pathogens....( I mean viruses, probably system level that bugs the interference from SD slot to system)
That's my guess. You may try to consult an experienced phone serviceman, or Lenovo Service Center (if your city have one).
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 .

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 got a new phone today (ZTE ZMAX Pro) and I took the SD card from my old phone and put it in my new one. I formatted it, unmounted it, and removed it properly. Whenever I try to format it as internal on my new phone, it sticks on 20% and comes up with the following error message: "java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException:Thread Binder_6 gave up waiting for partitionPrivate after 180000ms." I also got another one, the only difference being "Thread Binder_B."
So, I restarted it, and wouldn't you know it - it recognized the card. So, I formatted it for photo swapping or whatever it is, and it worked. I then tried formatting as internal, and it did the same thing I mentioned earlier. So, the card will work as usual after some restarts and removals, but is it pretty much screwed for internal formatting?
The card is a 64 GB SanDisk, and it works just fine on my computer.
EDIT: I just tried with a 16gb card, and it worked fine. I guess the question now is: is the 64 gb card able to be saved?
