Just recently I noticed that I can not save anything new to my SD card. I can delete something off the card only for it to reappear. Wiped everything reinstalled backups doesn't seem to matter. Any suggestions.

I hate to day it but sounds like you need to reformat the SD card.

I was thinking the same thing. I had been using bootmanager as you know runs different ROMS directly off the card. I can't say if that was the cause but everything is leading that way. For instance, everytime I may need to reboot the phone it automatically boots in bootmanager... long story.

I've heard people having lots of issues with bootmanager. It may be part of your problem as well.

This happened to me last night. I lost a lot of videos, pics and music randomly. A lot of pics have an error and all the pics I lost say it is a file of 64kb. But when I try to open I get a file error. Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be the phone or the memory card? I had this card on my OG EVO with no problems.
See if you can view the files on another memory card. If so, then the memory card has gone bad.
Wait the file size went down to 64kb? Yea the memory card may be corrupt.

damn man... that sucks
i was having issues with my SD in the evo4G so i started backing it up to my computer weekly just in case.
Sorry to hear about your loss of media
If the card has gone bad will reformatting it possibly fix it or do I need a new one?
Used to happen constantly on my hero! Wipe your SD card and it should be good. Back when I had my hero it would happen when my phone would die but once I wiped it a couple of times, took it out and put it into my computer and made sure everything was off and it was good. Hope it works for you.

Doesn't hurt to try that and see if it works... If the files work on other cards or even on your comp, it is safe to say it has gone bad. But like I said, it doesn't hurt to try it.

Will try that thanks.
I've noticed when I restore a nandroid i lose all of the apps that I've put on the SD card. After trading up on it, it looks like I've never partitioned my SD card. My question is, if I don't use apps to SD, would my applications stay when I flash a new Rom and nandroid back like on the OG Evo?
E3D'ed... Booyah!
I noticed the same, and switched the apps on the sd over to the phone. It fixed the problem. This never happened on my old hero though... Then again I was only using apps to sd on cm6 and cm7 on the hero.

I haven't gone back to SteehH yet, really been enjoying the honeycomb themed Salt III. Hopefully not putting apps to SD will solve the issue!
Hey guys.
So I went to work today and while I was on break, my phone acted up a couple of times. Once, the mobile internet cut itself off and I had to restart my phone to get it to turn back on.
Then when I get off of work, my phone isn't reading my SD card.
I tried unmounting and then mounting it back several times, but no luck getting anything.
So then I hooked it into a card reader on my computer and all the files show up, then suddenly the computer got an error saying that the driver wasn't recognized and then stopped reading it.
What is the problem and how can this be fixed?
I can even open Root Browser app and it shows all the files on my SD card. All pictures, music, videos, etc.
But for some reason when I go to gallery, music, or whatever else... it won't pull up.
Back it up to pc if u can then reformat it to fat32

I wish I could. My computer will read it but only for a few seconds and then says something about a driver error.
I'm guessing the card may be going bad?
Can u mount phone to pc?

Just tried doing this, and surprisingly, yes. So I got it all copying to the computer now.
It just doesn't make sense to me that it can mount like this and my files still be on the card and not read when I go to pull them up. Especially when I go to Root Browser and I can see all the files.

So I copied all files to my computer, formatted the SD card again, put all files back onto the SD, and still have the same problem.
Note that my phone is reading the SD in Root Browser; however, when I go to my gallery, music, videos, etc.. my phone tells me that there are none and acts as if the SD card is empty. I even go to SD and Storage and it says my card is empty, but it's not.

You're going to need a new one bud. There is definitely something wrong with it physically if you have done aall of that and it is still doing that.

Just wiped my phone completely and restored my most recent backup and now my phone reads it just fine, so problem fixed.
Undoubtedly my phone got set to some strange setting while it was in my back pocket that I never knew my phone had.
Strange. =\
Thanks for the help guys. I suppose if you see anyone or if you run into this problem in the future, here's how it can be fixed.

You didn't use quick format, did you? If so, try formatting it without quick format.

I had the same problem, I did the same thing as well. I noticed it happen when I downloaded a free game app from Amazon App store. I had to uninstall it b/c it kept on force closing. Soon after I had this SD problem.

The thing is... I haven't downloaded or changed anything at all with my phone in over 2 weeks. Either it tripped out or something happened to where a setting changed while it was in my back pocket.
Glad I fixed it.
I had a feeling it was probably a setting issue that happened, so I got the idea to restore from a backup to get back original settings and BAM!

I have a PNY 32gb sdcard that's been working perfectly since I picked up the S4 in May. This morning there was a message on my phone saying there isn't an sdcard detected. I've tried popping it in and out several times, rebooting, etc. None of that helped. It's not even visible in recovery. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm stumped.
Sometimes sd cards go bad without warning. It's best to keep your important things backed up on your computer. Sounds to me like you need a new card.

Yeah, I guess the obvious next troubleshooting step here is trying a different sdcard (which I don't have now). Just wanted to see if there was a known issue slash easy solution that was out there already.
You can try your sd card in your computer before trashing it. You might be able to get it to work long enough to retrieve your saved files.

I want to replace my current sd card with a larger card but I don't know how to elegantly (& smoothly) lay down everything that was on the old card into the new card. I tried transferring via my computer but that didn't work. I'm sure members have done this, can you please share your 1,2,3...experience?

I just copied my 32gb to a 64gb and all went well.

I backed up my 64gb card and transferred everything to my newer 128gb card, it went fine just took a while.
You can use the old one in another device and use Wi-Fi direct or super beam to do the transfer

Thanks for your input. The phone got so screwed that i will have to back up my data to drop box, and unroot my phone, re-install the factory software, re- format the 128gb card, and reinstall all my stuff. And I still don't know why the phone went haywire so badly. There simply was no good reason. Except maybe the weather was contrary.
