[Q] SD Card Erased?? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This morning I went to access a movie on SD Card only to find that my 32 GB SD Card had been erased??
It was fine last night before I went to bed.
Only thing I did was reboot the phone before I went to bed. Spotify wouldn't open properly and clearing the cache didn't help so I rebooted the phone and went off to sleep!!
Checked card in my computer and it is indeed erased. I reformatted it and put it back in to phone and I'll monitor for a while.
Anyone else have this happen to them?
---Previous to this the phone kept unmounting my old 32 GB Sandisk Card. The card that got erased last night was a 32GB Transcend

2gb minisd card problem!

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

[Q] Incredibly frustrating problem with a Glaaxy Note 2 and a SD card

I'll try to keep this as succinct as possible.
Galaxy Note 2, Android 4.1.2, Rooted.
Few weeks ago began having trouble with audio play back. Any file longer than 5-10 minutes (audiobooks, podcasts etc) would either not playback at all or would after playing for 5 or 6 minutes begin jumping and skipping and then eventually skip to the next track. If I tried to select a point in the play back the song would skip.
Found that if I downloaded the files directly to the San Disk 64 gb SD card these problems would happen but if I downloaded them directly to the phone's internal storage it was fine. This pointed to me that the problem was with the SD card. Also noticed at this point that if I deleted files on the SD card then unmounted the SD card and remounted the deleted files would re-appear.
I re-formatted the SD card using my phone which didn't solve the problem all of the files were back again. I re-formatted the SD card on my mac to exFAT and plugged it in only to find all of the files present again. I used my Windows partition on my Mac to reformat the drive using Windows and found the same problem yet again.
This lead me to believe that the problem was with my phone. So I reformatted the SD card using my computer, and then did a factory reset of my phone. Low and behold I plug my SD card back into my phone only to find the 32 GB of files on the SD card present again. At this point it really didn't seem to make sense. I had formatted the SD card on my computer, opened it and found it to be empty. I then ejected it and plugged it in to find 32 GB of files on it. All accessible and playable, except for the skipping as mentioned above.
So I tried one last attempt. I unmounted the SD card, and factory reset my phone again. Then plugged the SD card into my computer and using the mac disk utility I reformatted the drive using the 7-pass erase system (which according to the description on my computer is good enough for the department of defense).
After waiting two and half days for the reformatting to be done I plugged my SD card into my factory reset phone and lo and behold the 32 GB of files have returned.
At this point I have accepted that I need a new SD card but this honestly doesn't seem possible anymore. Does anyone have any advice? Or heard of anything happening like this before?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this huge message everyone, I really appreciate it.

64gb sdcard causing reboots

I have a 64gb ultra card that caused my phone to reboot. It wiped itself of all my needed emergency data (nandroids, Rom install files)
The reboots started randomly after not changing anything for weeks. I did my usual nandroid back up using twrp then rebooted the system. On my way to work the phone rebooted 5 times in a row so I tried to wipe cache and Dalvik to fix it... But it didn't help.
I wiped everything and was going to do a fresh install but my memory card was missing my files (folders were there but data is missing in folders
Luckily I had a old install file for acr that I used for emergency. After fresh install it still was rebooting... I removed the memory card and it has been without issues.
Anyone have any advice to why this would happen? Is it just the phone hates exFAT file system? Or do I have a faulty card...
I'm currently formatting (full format not quick format) the card but I learned my lesson to not back up to external storage

Had a similar issue. Only noticed it when I went to flash a new kernel and my phone would boot up fine, then reboot constantly at right about 1 minute and 30 seconds exactly each time. Not sure if it is the SD card failing or what...
That said, i noticed as well that my nandroids that would usually restore fine would now fail. I ended up deleting my back ups since they weren't working, then backing up all other content to my PC. Formatted SD Card in the phone, and everything seems to be fine now. All other files on my SD Card seemed fine, but im backing up from now on to my internal memory.
Had similar recurring issues with a Sandisk 128g card. Had formatted FAT32 as well as exFAT and was finding that I'd do a Nandroid, reboot, then the handset would report that the sdcard was unformatted. I'm still not quite sure that I've got things figured out, but I did a complete reformat (long version, not quick) on my Windows 7 PC and then inserted the card into the M8. Rebooted once and the handset still recognized, so rebooted into recovery and did a Nandroid. The recovery recognized the nandroid, and I rebooted to ROM one more time. Everything was fine.
I do keep a backup of my sdcard contents (have had more than one card go south through the years); restored the backup and reinserted the card and looks okay now.
I can't say whether FAT32 is more stable than exFAT because I've had it happen with both formats on this particular card. If you do have recurring issues with the card after complete reformatting, I would suggest a warranty return. (I did that with an older 64g card recently that failed seriously --- the microcontroller was making the card suddenly get red hot.)

Major issue formatting SD card

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?

[Completed] SD Card adopted as Internal Storage has become corrupted?

I purchased a BLU R1 HD, non-amazon prime version, running Android 6.0 when it was first released. A little while later I got a Patriot XL 64Gb microsd card to format as internal memory. Everything has been fine, it's not rooted and I have no desire to root, it's not tweaked in any way, it's just a stock Android phone. Until last night for some reason it decided that my adopted storage was corrupt. I have not done anything to the phone recently, I ran a backup just the other day but did not at that time grab my pictures off the phone because I ran out of time and would come back to it later.
I have no idea what happened. I put my phone on the charger and went to sleep, and woke up this morning to corrupted storage. I have not since done anything to the phone.
Is there any hope of getting my pictures off of it now? Or do I just have to re-format the card and drive on?
Update, I cannot format the card, it stops at 20% for awhile and then just quites with no error message.

Greetings and welcome to assist. It is possible for a sd card to just die unexpectedly, it's happened to me. Have you tried your card in a pc or different device ? There are several data recovery programs which may recover your photos etc
Good Luck
