SDCard Problem - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

S7 exynos version latest update , 32GB C10 Kingston SD
guys 2days ago i started noticing some freezing (program lock'sup completely) while opening any app that explores folder list or accessing the SDCard upon start even if i plug the phone and access the SDCard from windows explorer the window freezes
the only way to resolve this is by either restarting the phone (didnt always work) or poping the SIM tray out and putting it back in
again everything works fine again
i did scan the Card and nothing seems to be wrong ,,, any ideas

Android 5.0 - SD card stops working 15 minutes after every phone reboot

Hi everyone.
I came here to ask if anyone has ever had the same problem and even better, managed to resolve it.
Everytime I put an SD card in my phone, the phone kind of stops recognizing it after a while (mostly after 15 minutes).
When I reboot my phone, it reads the SD card properly for during 15 minutes also, then it stops.
The weird thing I noticed is that after the phone stops "reading" the SD card, if I open the file explorer it shows the SD card folder and it's free space / total space. But when I try to open the folder, it says "folder is empty." Any ideas?
NB: I tr'ied several SD cards and I always encounter this same problem.
My phone is an Elephone P7000.
Hi I have exactly the same problem - did u ever manage to fix it ? (its hard to google for this issue)

(solved) Big external micro sd card issues

I am getting an error, old as android itself, with my new s7 Exynos. "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". This happens when I try to copy my 25 gb music library on external sd card. I tried all usual stuff like:
- Use different cables
- Reinstall samsung drivers via Kies
- Transfer using MTP or PTP
- Use USB Debugging on and Stay awake option on
- Tried pushing folder via ADB push command, but it says "Read-only file system" when I typed location as /sdcard1 (which I think is an extSdcard right? It did copy a .txt file if I typed just /sdcard but that is internal storage)
- Tried with Samsungs own SmartSwitch but the bloody thing doesn't even have an option to copy files to device (only backup and restore), and Kies is not supported for S7.
On side note, the same sd card worked perfectly with my S3 and gave no errors. When I inserted sd card into S7, I formatted it inside the device. What other troubleshooting stuff should I do? I can't believe that this crap is still an issue. Why can't we have our USB Mass Storage back?
-----------------------------
Big edit:
Ok my phone doesn't seem to like this sdcard. I inserted microsd card to my s3 and copied 17 gb of files, to check if there is a problem with MTP connection or sdcard, but it copied all 17 gb of files without any errors or problems. I checked on phone if it reads correctly, and all music plays fine instantly without any lag or freez. But when I inserted this micro sdcard back into my s7, there was a massive lag/freezes. When I click "MyFiles" or "SolidExplorer", or any other file manager, there is a big lag/freeze, and file manager never opens (it is always stuck). Also, when I go into settings and when I press "unmount" under storage, nothing happens. When I press home, it doesnt go to home screen, and says that touchwizz is not responding (if I change default applications to Nova launcher, it does go to the homescreen though). When I try to open Shealth app, it doesnt open it. Also when I put my phone to sleep, I have to wait like 10 seconds for screen to turn off sometimes. When I pop out sdcard though, all the problems go away INSTANTLY. Everything is smooth again and responsive, file manager opens, shealth opens, everything works like it should. If I insert sd card back in, same problems happen.
And as a cherry on the cake, I put sdcard back into my s3, and everything still works fine. All files are readable, music playes, etc.
When I was searching online, this is the closest thing I have found that explains my problems, but there was no solution: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/542854-sd-card-freezes-note-4-a.html
Anyone ever experienced anything similar?
EDIT: Luckly, it was not my phone fault. It was my sd card. Even though it worked fine on s3 and my friends s5, it didn't work in s7 for some reason. I purchased samsung evo+ and it works flawlessly.
try format as exfat ?
Can't, it is 32gb card and it is not allowing me. Also, sometimes when I insert it, the whole phone freezes complitely. Once I even had to use volume down + power button for 10 seconds reset method since it froze complitely. Card is in fat32.
edit: I also tried copying files from USB flash drive (adata 64gb exFat) to sdcard directly on my phone, via OTG cable. It also stopped the process midway and phone wouldn't enter into any file storage (it froze). I had to remove sdcard again and insert it back in to remove that freezing.
edit2: I copied 17gb folder full of subfolders to internal storage, and it transferred without any problems and pretty fast (about 20 minutes). That means MTP connection and drivers are fine. When I tried copying the same 17gb folder to external sd card, "device stopped responding or has been disconnected" error again.
It seems like this is a lot bigger problem, as this is not really an issue about "device stopped responding" anymore. I edited first post. Still looking for solution.
Search the forums, this is a known issue with some phones. You can try other cards, sometimes that will help. Or get your phone replaced as it's a hardware defect. My first S7 was like that. This one reads sdcard without issues (but has radio issues).

Phone working fine without SD card mounted but not with SD card inserted.

I have infocus m2 phone kitkat 4.4 which has a 16gb class 10 memory card installed. 2 days ago all the applications of my phone stopped responding, even the settings app, reporting it had to close down and all I could do was press ok. When I removed the sd card and rebooted the phone, the network came back and phone is working smoothly just like before though obviously the apps installed on the card aren't working. I have important data on my card and haven't tested it on a pc yet. I connected to free wifi that day when it happened, would that be a reason for this?

Android 6.0.1 SD Card Issue: Files Accessible but Apps will not load...?

I am at a loss... I have a Samsung Galaxy J7, (sm-j700p) and I have a 64GB SD card in it. It was working fine until thirty minutes ago, and a preexisting problem reared its ugly head; The battery the device comes with does not have the proper voltage to power the device when it's under a large amount of stress. So when the screen spazzed out, I thought I knew what happened, and I just powered off the device, popped the battery out and then let the device fully recharge, which fixed the problem. But unfortunately, a new problem arose. The apps I had moved to the SD Card weren't loading in, as if the SD Card wasn't inserted. I went to the Storage settings (Settings>Storage) and low and behold, it was reading it as mounted. So I jumped over to Total Commander (my 3rd party file browser) and found I could access and manipulate the files with no problems. So could anyone tell me what happened? And maybe how to fix it?
[EDIT] I have fixed the SD Card, basically copying the data from the SD to my PC, then formatting the Card, and setting it up on the device before restoring the files. The only problem I face now is when I move apps, the phone either has no problem with it or restarts immediatly.

Sd card appearing as corrupted

Good afternoon, could you help me? My memory card worked fine, but when I switched to samsung android 11 it didn't detect, or it worked for a while, or it appeared as corrupted. On Windows it works fine, I even ran chkdsk and Aomei, but none detected anything, what do I do? Its In exfat, and when i format, it disappear without a trace. And when I remove sd card, reboot and put back in it works for a while. But then when it makes a auto restart it start over again. I heard music with it, and used it in my previous phone, and in my computer as a extra hd.
