2 options, option "a" card needs formatting is corrupted so phone doesnt like it or "b" cards dead, even if card reads in pc sometimes the phone still decides it thinks somethings wrong with the card and you need to format it

that doesnt explain y the phone would not come on though...
mybe you should wait for a while... it takes time for the phone to run over the 16gb card before it can run.. try format using card reader with your pc then try it again..
What brand is the card? I had issues with Patriot SD and had to go with a real SanDisk and that worked well

both micro sd cards are sanDisk
is that brand new?
maybe your 16GB sd is damaged.. try to reformat it..
i am using a PATRIOT LX Series Class 10 16GB sdcard...
its properly detected... no issues there...
may be u have formatted it wrongly...
search on XDA site there are some tools for formatting high capacity sdcards
A physical defect in the card could cause a voltage short, which in turn would stop the phone turning on for safety reasons buddy. Does the card work in a reader etc?

Further to the questions above
(a) what ROM are you on - some are notoriously fickle about SD cards and how they are formatted
(b) when you say the phone wont turn on, at what stage do you get stuck? SE Logo, Boot animation? Can you get into xRecovery, and if so, can you see/navigate the SD card
(c) Is the issue by any chance your getting stuck in a bootloop?
id say the card is shorting the phone stopping it from turning on
do you format card to fat32 filesystem? try slow full format by bb

hey peeps just wondering if anyone has or knows if it would be possible to change the internal sd card? im assuming the ram is soldered in and is linked in some way to the phone and wont be able to change but what about the internal sd?
Not possible... Its not an sd card and also soldered in.
Just partition your sd to add a 1GB primary ext2 partition and then install link2sd. Means you can move any allocation and its data to sd card. You must be rooted though! Hope this helps!

thanks for the reply mate. u sure its not a sd card? i could of swore most of the smart phones which have internal memory is a micro sdhc card. in this and the galaxy s it has a lil plastic bit where it is behind? i just thought with a class 10 8gb or something it would make the phone quicker and obviously not have to worry about moving things to external sd
I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but here's some theory: the phone got 2 storages: the internal storage of 1gb flash which is soldered and cannot be changed and the sd card for data/music/photo/whatever to store on. This micro sdhc card can be changed. Class 4-6 is okay and every micro sdhc card should work... hope i answered your question

is the sd card you talking about the external one? i thought there was a internal sd card which you would have to take the phone apart to get to. thats the one i was thinking of changing. i know people have done it with the dell streak
Last night just before plugging in my beloved SGS2 I saw that there was an icon of a microsd card with an exclamation mark on it. The phone was complaining that the card was corrupt and unusable.
Card is a Patriot brand Class 10 16GB (Yeah, I went with a cheaper model). The file system was unusable and unreadable when I tried to read the data with a micro-sd to SD adapter on my PC. I was not able to retrieve any info.
I switched to an 8GB Sandisk card from a previous phone, but am concerned now about losing data again.
Has anyone else encountered a corrupt micro-sd card on their SGS2, or a similar problem with a Patriot brand card?
Thanks!
I was facing the same problem too. reformat it and it will work again....
however the micro sd getting corrupted every month.....
now sending it for rma...
Corrupt Micro SD
I have the same problem I formatted it with my sgs2 but now I think mine is worse, my 16gb micro SD card says it has 0 bytes in windows and therefore is to small to be formatted and in osx and ubuntu it says it has 2.2 tb and has errors and cannot be formatted.
It freaking happened again! Different card now, bought a 32GB class 10 on boxing day. Just a fortnight later I've lost all the files from it!

Have you tried just taking the card out of the phone and just connecting it directly to a pc with a card reader? My card use to become corrupted when a file transfer went wrong on my phone, but I just remove it and plug it in directly to my pc and it goes back to normal.
The first time I did, couldn't be read. Keeping backups for now.

Hello all,
I've bought 8GB SD card and used it on my mini pro, I faced some issues like:
1. Alot of programs suddenly crash
2. Wireless connection gets dissconeccted automaticlly
3. The whole Android software get crashed and the screen goes into black, then this can't be solved if I didn't remove battary and reinsert it.
I Tried to check the SD card for bad sectors and problems but there were nothing.
Any Solution?
NOTE: I have another SD card (2GB) and it dosen't make any problem when in use.
If you remove the card the problems persist?

remove your sd card, run your phone and see if errors still occur

It happen to once with my cheap 4gb card when i paired with nokia n82.. Till now i don't know why the phone keep refusing to recognize the card. The irony is, the "rejected card" works normally on my current phone "sk17". it left me scratching my head.
If you can return it, return it. If its not worth it, just get a new one. Basically, you have done everything on you end, so its definitely the card's fault.

Check for SD card class,its written on SD card.If its less than Class 6 then you should buy SD card with class 6 or higher.
Second you should not place large files like multiple blueray pictures or multiple songs in single folder.And last you can speed up SD Card read,write speed by using SD booster of Root tool box pro app to make your SD card faster.
I thing class is not so important. I now using few year old 16 gb card class 2 without any problem
Sent from my ST15i using XDA
Weird but I have no reason not to believe you.At least you know that the problem is the card,so either return it and get a new one or buy a 16Gb instead.They re already pretty cheap! Opt for a class 6+!

Why should I avoid putting multiple songs in one folder? I have put like that and my sd works fine eh??
and the other thing if you had apps in the other sd which was 2gb and u put the 8gb one without transferring them to the 8gb card the apps should not work. Android system failure sould be a problem of memory management. Check whether you had filled ur card.
and yea I think the best solution for u if u have tried every thing, return the card
I was putting music on my P769 and when I tried playing the new music, it would say it was a unsuppoorted format, it wasnt, it was a mp3. I tried other songs that I knew that would play and none of them worked. I then restarted th app and a song would play but once I tried another song it would do the unsupported format message again. I then restarted the phone, the phone then gave me the message in the notification area saying "Blank SD Card or Unsupported file system." I then tried mounting it, with no avail, it still wont work. I then factory reseted my phone and formated the SD card, and still that same message comes up. Also, before(and after) the restart, I would try to unlock the phone by pressing the power button the screen would start t turn on but automatically shut off, or it would go to a "snow" screen, but grey. Please help I need the SD card because of this phone's microscopic amount of memory!
I forgot to add that I tried the SD card in another phone and I had the same issue...
Get a new SD card. I had similar problems with my 32gb card when I got the phone. Bought a new class 10 16gb card and it works flawlessly.

Mine is a 32gb too... I'm glad I got a good deal on it...
I did hear of other people fixing it... Or just restarting their phone multiple times... But the other problems happened right after... I was thinking that it may have been something malicious?

I got the 32gb card for like $9 on black Friday around the same time I got the phone. It was flaky right from the start, but worked in my laptops card reader. Made me think it was something with the phone. It eventually stopped working in my card reader as well. Pickup a good class 10 card and everything should be fine.

So just so we're clear, can you put the card in an SD card reader and transfer files to it from a PC? Can you play files off of it through an SD card reader to a PC (or another non-Android device)?
I'm far from an expert, but maybe try breaking the card into separate partitions with something like MiniTool Partition Wizard. The card might be formatted in a way that the phone isn't familiar with. There are a few other threads on the forums that can help suggest what kind of partition would be best for your needs.
I have a 32GB SD card, and it took me a long time of messing with this damn phone to get it to do what I wanted. Card would disappear, messages about "insufficient storage", media scanner freezing up, on and on. This phone has been one huge pain in the ass. Right now I am just using a remount script to swap my internal and external, but so far so good.
Ok guys after extensive searching...I'm having the exact same issues. I did more investigating myself. When I removed the 32gb card from the port I noticed the pins in said port were messed up, the last two looked disconnected. After fooling with it for a min I decided to use the card on my tablet to get files from it, unfortunately the tablet didn't recognize the card at all. I'm thinking my phone corrupted the sd card somehow. I have yet to try another card in my phone for fear of messing another up. I'm going to try to insert the original 32gb card and have it reformat like it's asking and see how it goes. If that fails I'm gonna try a lil 2gb card in it. Also, I've contacted LG and am awaiting a return call for a warranty repair because it looks defective, I haven't dropped the phone recently, and just bought the phone in March from Best Buy... I'll keep y'all updated on my progress and wish me luck lol!

Alright here's my update, I have the SanDisk Ultra 16gb micro SD HC I u (red and grey), I think my sd card is going out as well, but I'm wondering if there might be more to the problem. Yesterday i took out the card and I placed it in my computer to move some file. It didn't pop up at first, I wiped it and place it back in the PC and it started working. Once done, i place it back in my cell and it was working fine. I went into CWM to flash a backup. I was doing some testing so I flashed two different backups. So today i noticed that the Sd card it not mounting, but when I'm in clockworkmod it is working fine I have rebooted and checked several times, it's mounting and operating on my PC & CWM but not when the phone is on. I'm thinking CWM might have something to do with it, not sure (might be a system restore). I was going from 4.0(ice) to 4.1(jelly) & back to 4.0. I'm currently restoring one of my jelly bean backups to see if the problem is solved.
Update:
my L9 is back on Jelly Bean and the SD card is working, it might have been a corrupted backup (or something went wrong with cwm). Md5 is good, but it's not as accurate as SHA-256 checksum. Y'all might want to check if your SD card is popping up on CWM.
Good info.
this is a problem that occurs when we upgraded from ICS to JB. once I upgraded my d card would not work. So I took it out and formatted it on the computer. Then I partitioned it with a program I have and it worked. JB and ICS having trouble with the sd card. If you go back to ics then don't reformat our you work have tip reformat when you flash jb.

So my MicroSD card (32GB SanDisk Class 10 Red/Grey) has been acting weird lately (since I upgraded from ICS to JB). Not my phone automatically unmounts the card from time to time and I don't know why. I have trying formatting from Windows and from the phone, with FAT32 and ExFat. And I don't want to wipe my phone or install any other ROM or similar stuff.
I will try another card, but is there something I can do to prevent this?
This has nothing to do with your ROM or your phone, it's your SD card itself which is causing this problem. Just try another SD card and I'm sure the problem is solved.

I believe there is also something wrong with some s3 that kills sd cards.

Yup, S3 has some issues with SD cards (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906058&highlight=sd+card+killer). Allready killed one of mine too, couldn't do anything with it. No device even recognized it anymore.
I insist, maybe it's my phone because it happened right after the upgrade, maybe something in the ROM, OS, kernel, or something... so I guess it's a lottery... I'm trying another card now...
