Hi,
I have just bought Sandisk 32GB ultra Micro SDHC card for my Dell Streak 5 and installed few apps on it, now when I turn the phone on in the morning it keeps restarting 4 or 5 times till I take the battery out, then when I turn it on it shows under the SD card Capacity in Settings Total space 0.0, available space 0.0
When I press UNMOUNT then I press MOUNT I get a message Blank SD card or unsupported file system and while I’m reading this message my phone restarts.
But when I switch off the phone and take the SD card out and put it back in again it works fine and it shows the card capacity 29.7GB and it shows all the files are still on it, also whenever I put in my laptop it recognize it and I can see all the files.
This card was bought from a famous website in the UK and it is genuine, I just don’t want to keep taking the card out every morning before I use the phone and I find it too much hassle.
The Phone is running on official Froyo Dell Streak 2.2 Rom
Please tell me if this is a bug or not and if there is a fix for it.
Thank you

maybe the connection between the card and the card slot is a bit loose.. try attaching a piece of paper on the card and insert it into the slot...
Also maybe try letting the Streak format the card

Thank you deysmacro and cdzo72 for the replies, coppied all the files to my laptop, formatted it and I have put the files back and it seems to be fine at the moment, will keep an eye on it and let you know, thank you again.
Hi,
Just a quick update, I still have the same problems, I even sometimes get a message saying Damaged SD Card and the screen keeps blinking, but I have just done a final format using the SD Formatter program and it is working fine because there is absolutely nothing on the card, it looks like when I install any program it behaves bad, I don't know what to do.
Thanks anyway for the quick replies

Hi - can anyone help? I've got a 1GB storage card that somehow came out of my K jam whilst it was in my pocket. Now it's not recognised by the device, so all the programmes on it (Sound Explorer,Tube,Metronome Web IS Tool box etc plus all my playlists are u/a). Trouble is I'm away at the minute so don't have the adapter to reformat the Mini SD in my laptop - nor do I have ready access to all the software keys. Is there any way I can get this storage card to say hello again? Aaaggh!
Does your SD card just slide right back in or do you have to push it in (kind of like puching a button- only analogy i could think of at the moment). If it slid out while it was in your pocket then the inside might still be pressed down and just sliding the card in wont be enough to let it see the card again. Slide the card in and push it down so that the card pops back out and then put it back in again and see if it reads.
Thanks for replying - no the card never came completely out when in my pocket - it just half emerged - it must have caught on something. I have removed the card, and tried it again - but no joy I'm afraid. I guess it's off to buy another card..... thanks for your help
What is your OS version?
I had the same the other day on a wizard. At the end it worked out the OS was to old and could only recognize 512 ms cards.
After unlock and upgrade to WM5 it recognized all card. Even 2gb

i've been using the SGS2 for over a month now with a 8gb sd card inserted without any problems. starting today, every time the phone runs on battery and the lockscreen was active, after unlocking android would report "SD card unexpectedly removed" and then start media scanning the SD card's content.
the card itself seems to be ok. other threads for other phones on xda suggested a formatting of the card would help with the problem - but not in my case.
as it seems to only happen when on battery and not when charging the phone, i suspect a software problem. it's pretty much reproducable on my phone - just a quick lock/unlock triggers the problem.
anyone has a similar experience and knows how to fix the problem? the constant media scanning eats away a lot of battery
I have had the same problem, my 16gb sd card was occasionally coming up as card unmounted after boot up but I could not get it to mount so I would have to take the card out and re-insert, then it would be ok for a few days until this week, then re-inserting did not fix it. I have tried to format the card but the phone just says "formatting" but that goes on for 30-40 minutes with the phone frozen and I have to pull the battery. I have tried to format the card in my laptop but that tells me that the card is locked. I am using a usb card reader which does not have a lock on it.

your problem seems a different from mine tho - i removed and inserted the card multiple times: android can always access & format it without problems, but the "SD card unexpectedly removed" still appears every time i unlock the phone while being on battery. the card then is remounted automatically and scanned.
Exactly the same problem has started happening to my handset in the past couple of days. After playing around with formatting etc. I've noticed that the SD card isn't staying clicked into the holder. I've tried different cards, reinserting but nothing makes a difference - looks like it's going back to Samsung....

I'm pretty sure this is not the same problem that Heldchen is reporting. I believe I have a similar issue and it is completely software related, not physical as you are describing here. SD cards still lock into the slot just fine on my SG2 but I still get the "SC card unexpectedly removed". Does anybody have a solution yet for this?
Exactly the same problem
Mine is as skwirrel states, every time you come out of "hibernation", the SD card has to be re-scanned. There is no issue with the card coming loose or needing to be formatted

I took my Droid Razr Maxx to a local repair shop to replace its broken screen ($279 + tax = ouch). After I left the store, I noticed that my 32gb Micro SD card was blank. I thought this was weird, but planned to just re-fill it with my music, etc., when I got home. However, I can't get it to read, much less format. I've tried two PCs (Win XP and Win 7 64bit). I've tried three SD card readers on both PCs. To be sure that the readers are working, I've tried them successfully in on both PCS with an old 2gb Micro SD card, so it's not the readers or the computers. I've also tried to format the 32gb card using the Razr itself (it sees the blank card... I tell phone to format it... nothing seems to happen... lather, rinse, repeat), but even after doing so, there's a status bar message that the SD card is "blank" or "has an unsupported filed system." When I try to copy a file from internal memory to the 32gb card using the Razr, it fails. When I cable my Razr to my PC it sees the SD Card slot as empty (if I try to copy something there, Windows says "insert disk"). The SD Card slot on the Razr is still functional, because my old 2gb card works just fine when installed in the Razr. My Razr is running Stock ICS 4.0.4, but is rooted.
Question -- Assuming that this is indeed the same 32gb card that was in my phone when I brought it in for repair, what could the repair shop have accidentally done to it that would cause it to stop functioning?
Either the shop broke it or they swapped it. I guess its the former, because surely the tech who did it would be risking his job if caught. Who wants to get fired over a $30 memory card. But I can't imagine what the tech could have done accidentally that could kill it.

Either a long exposition to sun/ magnetics/ dust// .etc can damage a memory. (in fact these artifacts are kinda sensitive)
Or it can just expire. A repair could work if it was at least being recognized by pc or card readers. But by your relate it'll not work anymore.
Cheers
I've seen microSD card die for no apparent reason. It actually happened to the 16GB card that was in my RAZR when I got it. I took the card out to give it to the original owner, and nothing - it was just dead.

I will need to try this!
Well... sorry for necro bumping this, but seeing as Micro SD's are a topic even nowadays, I'll ad my 2 cts.
My micro SD got partially damaged when I had too many programs on my Android Phone access it at the same time (Power Amp, OBB on SD, Galerie, Backup Program).
However in my case it was a fun kind of damage done:
- The data on the Disk was still readable, and I could recover most of it to a 32 GiB card (save for 2 unimportant image files).
The fun part is:
I can't format the disk, it'll always show the same content / files /size used if I plug it in again.
Deleting files does the same. Etched for infinity xD.
I'll try the magnet trick, as I wouldn't want anyone to read the card when I throw it away.
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!

I am having this same problem with 2 32gb SanDisk Class 10 32GB cards. They are the red ones that Amazon sells.
Luckily I have a USB adapter for micro-SD cards. I transferred my data to Kingston Class 4 32GB cards.

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.

Hi All,
Anyone have issues with their sdcard being detected with the G5? I have an 850 and a lot of the time the sdcard stops working or being detected and i cant see why. A reboot and then waiting 20 mins usually fixes it and it shows up in the storage section but its getting annoying.. May have to try another card to see what the story is with that but for now i wondered if anyone else had drama with it.
Cheers
Cass
Maybe the card is dying i would suggest backing up the data just to be safe
No problem with mine

Backed up and reformated the card on pc as ntfs. Card detected on insert, it told me it was corrupt, which it was due to no ntfs support and it formatted it again as exFat. Lets see how it goes now.

Hope it goes well!
This seems to be frequent to a certain extent. This is a hardware issue. Same with S7 Edge or non-Edge (visit page: digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-s7-edge-problems/8/
It seems that LG has the same issue. It could also be an Android 6 issue.
I got my new S7. I have sent to other one for repair. They changed the motherboard. Then it came back with the same issue. Then Samsung sent me a bran new S7. I have no more SD card notifications at all. Not even when I reboot the phone. Yesterday (again) I was listening to music (a set of 2 hours long) from my SD card. I started to look at pictures (again) at the same time. After 40 mins or so, my phone stopped the music and stopped being able to read my SD. Everything froze and I had to reboot. Then, again, a few mins later (listening to music and looking at pictures), it did it again. On the second time, I was not able to reboot the phone using the power button (keeping pressure for 10 seconds). I had to do it using the volume down/home/power. The phone screen was totally black and there was no way to unfreeze it. My notification light was flashing blue (as I had new emails and text), but the phone was not responsive at all.
It seems like Samsung just removed the SD notification as a whole in the new phone but did not fix the issue.
For those who don't have the issue, before commenting, I would appreciate if you could listen to music and look at your pictures at the same time (all from the micro SD card) for at least 30-40 minutes.
I strongly believe that ALL phones have this issue, but that those who don't just have not access pictures while listening to music (demanding on the SD card reading). Do it if you can... and see if it creates problems. And let me know once you did the above.
I forgot to mention. I am a computer and smartphone savy. I flashed all my S1, S2, S3, S4 on a daily basis. I did purchased another SD card (even if my sandisk is working perfectly on my S5). I got a Samsung evo 64gm. The issue remains on both SD cards, and before you comment about it, YES i did reformat on multiple occasions both with my pc AND within the phone. I also did factory reset on multiple occasions. So it is not the SD's the problem. Just trust, I did everything possible.
I have the g5 se and have bought a 128gb card (actually have 3) but none of the 3 work with this phone and when i manage to get the files (music) on the sd when in device it deletes them all is this still the issue people are having
