I notice that I have been getting corrupted pictures. Has this happened to anyone else but me? Or is it the SdCard?
Is it a brand new micro sd card? what's the capacity? When I first inserted my brand new 32gb micro sd card it wasn't recognizing it. So I formatted mine via pc as fat32 and it didn't give me any issue after that. Try that and hopefully it works for you.

It was my first microsd card, 32 gb Gskill class 10. I formatted via SDformatter on PC.
Try to format the card on the phone itself. With my new 64gig card, I try to do so on my PC and gave me problems at first. After trying it on my phone it has worked flawlessly thus far.
Be sure to unmount the drive properly in Windows. SD cards can corrupt when you just unplug the phone without unmounting the drive first.
Alternately, on your phone you can switch to 'charge only', which does the same thing.

Hey Everyone,
I'm having a slight problem with my new SD card. I just bought a new 16 GB SanDisk Class 2 High Capacity Micro-SD card. Unfortunately though, my Xperia X10a is not recognizing the card. When I insert the card into my phone, the phone acts like there is no SD card installed at all. It's been properly formatted to FAT32 and my laptop recognizes it fine. My phone recognizes my old SD card, a 4 GB PNY Class 4 High Capacity Micro-SD card just fine, but refuses to recognize the new SD card. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks!
Format it on the phone....not on the computer.
Settings->SD Card....Unmount if it is mounted....and Format from that menu.
It needs to partition the drive itself properly.
I wish I could do that. But the phone doesnt even recognize that there is an SD card in the phone. It says that the SD card is missing even when I put the new SD card in.
Or if you have everything backed up....start from scratch.
Download and install SEUS from Sony. And reflash from scratch using SEUS.
If you had any app2SDcard app or any apps loaded on your old sdcard, they could be preventing any new SDCard from being added.
Thanks for replying.
I've tried going back to stock but it still seems to be not working. Stock firmware still fails to recognize that an SD card has been inserted.
Is the card any thinner than the old one? If so, add a piece of tape or piece of paper to the back of it, so it fits in the phone snuggly.
When you do a full repair using SEUS and install with the SDCard in the phone, it should auto format the card during the the reinstallation of stock 2.1
Did you actually reinstall using SEUS with the SDCard inside?
Otherwise trade in your new card for another card (make and model should be fine) this time....do not stick the card in your computer. First place it needs to go is in the phone.
Actually...an old post I read on another forum, one guy was successful after he stuck the SDCard in his camera, and formatted the card from the camera...and he was unsuccessfull when he originally formatted the card in his computer.
Thanks so much for helping. Somehow, I managed to get it working. Turns out that the cluster size of my SD card was set to auto, which caused it to have cluster sizes that the phone couldnt read. After reformatting it to 4 kb clusters and FAT32, it was recognized by the phone. Thank you so much!
So my S3 Pebble Blue is on it's way & I want to put all music & stuff on to my 64Gb Micro sd card.
Do I....
1: Format on the pc, if so which format & would the S3 still want to format when I put it in.
2: Format it in the phone & then remove & insert in to PC to transfer all my music & stuff?
I am familiar with android & formatting micro sd cards. I just wondered if being a 64Gb would be a different matter.
Ta
Just format in phone.

I also just received my SGS3 and inserted the SanDisk 64gb micro sdxc card.
I didnt format it, because it just seemed to work fine without formatting. Now I put all my data on it, but after a restart of the phone the card is suddenly corrupted...
In my phone it recognizes the card, but says its corrupted and needs to formatted. It then ejects the cards for safe removal. In my pc it doesn't recognise the card at all.
Does anyone have an idea on how to recover the data on it?
And what is otherwise the best way to format it?
Thx
RE:- 64GB MicroSDXC errors
I would use a external compatible Micro SDXC reader and connected it to your computer and try and recover the card on the PC. (first)
i) what operating system are you using on the PC.
ex-fat format problem in windows xp. If you have windows 7 it should be able to read ex-fat cards natively.
If you have xp you can try and install the
search for the knowledge base article 955704 on Microsoft Technet support package to enable xp to read ex-fat cards.
In the past I have used my external 9 in one reader to fix corrupted cards to recover the files from them using recuva or similar software it will restore the files onto your pc hard disk.
let me know how you get on.
Thanks a lot for the quick advice.
I don't have an external reader yet, so I ordered one just now. I have win7 on my pc, so I guess that will be ok. I'll try it later this week when I have the reader in.
Once I have it recovered (or not), what is the best practice for setting up the card? What's the best way to format it?

Free PC program Recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva mount via USB or scard adapter.
Or even try Hexamob (need root) our some other file recovery app
When done, best and easiest to format through phone.

Hi Guys,
I had some problems with my sandisk micro sd card. I am a type of guy that likes changing rome. one day when changing roms, My phone was very hot and i decided to unmount my sd card. after rebooting, i inserted my sd card in and a message flashed: Blank SD card. i clicked on the message and reformatted the card and the same message came out again. i inserted it into my mac and use disk utility to erase the contents of the sd card as all the other options were unavailable. the time for it to erase took longer and longer. after one night, the time increased to a week and then the card wouldent format. i looked at many other forums and the solution to many was sdformatter, which unfortunately did not work for me. when i used my windows to reformat, an error occurred and i could not reformat. i went into device and printers to find it but it was not there. so i was wondering if there is another way for me to fix this problem as this is the 4th 32gb sandisk micro sd card i bought.
Try SD formatter on a different PC, if that fails then you need to buy another SD card or return it the the seller - try another brand if Sandisk keeps failing.
My old nokia was on its last legs, so I borrowed my sister's Smart 2 to use. I inserted my SIM card, and my micro SD card (which worked fine on my Nokia and on my PC). Things were working fine until I attempted to download something from the browser, but it told me that I had to have an SD card to do so. Which I found odd, considering there WAS one in there.
Now, I've checked and made sure I'm putting it in the right way, and I've even tried changing the format via my PC from FAT(default) to FAT32 and exFAT, to no avail. The main problem is that when I go into
Settings -> SD card and phone storage
with the SD card inserted into the phone I still get "Mount SD card - Insert and SD card for mounting" which is greyed out, as well as "Erase SD card". So for some reason it's still not picking it up. If it sheds any light on the problem, it's a 1gb SD card

Okay... I don't have much experience with the Smart 2, but most Android phones work similarly. What you can try is, back up all the data you want to keep onto your computer, insert SD card into phone, and have the phone reformat it. If the phone does not recognize card, make sure the SD card slot works. You may have to unscrew phone and make sure all wires are connected. If the SD card works on your Nokia and PC, it should be fine. Also, make sure there is no dust or dirt in SD card slot. Hope this helps
I had had a SanDisc 32 GB class 10 and everything was ok, until the time in which I needed more than 30GB in my HTC Desire X. So, I decided to buy the Kingston microSD 64 GB class 10. Even though our phone has official limit at 32 GB, after googling I noticed that I would not have problem with this card. So I bought it.
From the begin I had a few problems. Very often, about 2-3 times every day, it was required to unmount - mount the card for reading some files or for renaming them.
... it was not big problem for me. But from yesterday, I cannot have access to the sd. I see a message Damaged SD card, SD card is damaged, try reformatting it. And if I try reformatting it, nothing happens. Also in settings - storage I cannot mount the card, and I just see that SD card is unavailable...
What I have to do now? To try a format from windows 7? If so, what format? Fat32, ntfs or something else?
Maybe it is better to use the warranty?
Thank you in advance...
For sdcard, try to format to fat32 (should work either using gparted or windows format tools).
try to format your sdcard with the offical tool from the sdcard association:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
if you wanna format your sdcard the right way, THIS IS THE TOOL TO GO!
The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards
if you still have problems, try to get a replacement from your dealer or sandisk directly.
if that doesnt help, try a different brand like kingston, samsung, etc....
