My father's cell phone has suddenly stopped acknowledging that it has a SD card... he's been really upset about it because now he can't view his pictures anymore
I told him it sounds like there's something wrong with the phone and to go to the provider but he doesn't want to lose his stuff from his SD card soooo... is there a way for him to pull the information off the sim card onto the computer? I've heard of devices that you can put SD cards in to slip into a computer but I haven't found one anywhere for him, any advice on this?
You can get one at ANY RADIO SHACK OR COMPUSA, That's where I get mine from.

Yep. Many mobile broadband modem/usb sticks also have microSD card readers built in..that's what i use instead of a card reader. Also, you could just put the microSD card into your phone, connect it to a pc and access it that way

Well today i rebooted my phone and after it turned back on, it told me my SD card was damaged and needed reformat. I insert it into a computer and it couldn't read the card. So i reformat it.
After copying my music and maps, it corrupted twice more!
I'm trying to figure out if it's my phone or SD card dying. Been having problems with signal loss with my phone lately also [sort of confirmed to be a phone problem]
SD card is a Generic 16GB Class 2 [Came with the phone out of the box]
Thanks,
Tim

I had the same problem with a 8gb Kingston class 4 card. I couldn't trust it if my life depended on it. Bought a new card, never had a problem since. If you have any other cards laying around, try using one of those first, or maybe you can get one from a friend. If they work fine, then just buy a new card as you will know your phone is ok.
Signal loss does happen, but I don't think it would be any way related to your memory card.
Yeah i have a 8GB Lexor Class 4 card lying around, just seems like so little space. I'll try that first though. Maybe i could get Rogers to just give me a replacement SD card... yeah...
Signal loss, it just happens around once every other day, dropped calls, no service for a second or so and comes back on. Even when i just leave it on the table on speakerphone it drops [areas with decent signal]. It's not with the network, it's most likely with the phone [talked to tech support] as i think i've told you before
But yeah i know it's not related to the memory card issue, was just an actual issue with the phone -_-"

Little space or not, try it out before you purchase a 16gb or 32gb card and realize your phone is messed right?
However, I think you will find the lexor card will be ok and your phone is fine
I have the s3 for T-Mobile so hope this is the right forum. I have a SanDisk mobile ultra 64gb sd card. Everything was working fine until I took the card out and put it in the mytouch 4g. The mytouch mounted the card and gave a message saying the card is damaged. I took the card and put it back in the s3 and I got the same message on there. I now the card is not damaged. When the card was brand new and empty the mytouch would not recognize it as 64 gb but only 28gb or so. When I put it in the s3 I just formatted it and it showed up just fine. I also put the card in a tablet and a Windows pc nothing seems to read the card anymore. I have about 40gb of data on there and I need to read it. PLEASE someone tell me how to do this I really need the data from it. All I did is put the card in a different phone this should not wipe my data or damage my card. Ill take any advice thank you

So I put my SD card from my s5 in my g3 and every so often I'll open my gallery and find some are corrupted. I thought it was only happening to the s5 pix, but now I think it's happening to g3 pix.
Anyone else? Should I just format?

Yep, same issue. I formatted sd card in the phone and no issues since.
How do you format a card in the phone?
I told the g3 to erase card, but couldn't find an option to have it format. Ive been able to load music to it, and it seems to play fine, just curious if there's something else I should do. My card is a Samsung Pro 64GB.
This is happening on my mother's LG G3 from T-Mobile. Glad to know I'm not the only one affected by this. So if the pictures aren't saved to SD card it won't corrupt?

I'm going to bump this because I've always had the option to format the microSD card in all of my other phones. Did they just rename it, or did Verizon have that pulled on their version?
Youre not the only one!
Youre not the only one!! I have the white AT&T version, and it does that most of the time! I don't think it's the SD's fault cuz it works fine on my S5 and i even reformatted it. I believe it's on LG's fault...:crying: Mine overheats so much also...
Same issue here. I tried a few sd card access apps/xposed mod but none seemed to work.
After a reformat everything was OK. Its definitely a pain though.
I'm sure this is an old thread, but I just thought I would chime in with the corruption issue, even after a reformat of the card.
I've seen other threads where the card itself was suspect based on its price (~$10 on Amazon vs. cards that were in the mid $40+ range) which would make the card suspect as far as quality/storage/etc., but wouldn't the corruption issue have also been present when the card was in my Verizon Galaxy S3? I currently have the black Sprint LG G3, and before this, I had the white Verizon LG G3, but the pictures were corrupting on both G3 models, regardless of carrier.
Where does the sd card go that the promotion will be giving to users for the v10? I've taken the back cover off and I can't figure out where the card would go. Is it something I'm not seeing?
Slides in right above (on top) the SIM card. It's like a dual slot card receiver.
I swear, I wasn't being stupid

I figured this was it, but honestly, there was nothing and nowhere where I could find any information. Even on the LG site, there's nowhere to download the manual. I am at work and didn't know if it was actually in the manual as to where to insert the SD card.
Thanks.
Yeah the only indicator is the little SD / sim logo with above it.

Difficult, will placed above the SIM card
I've lost the contents of my SD card three times now with my XT1528. I've tried two different cards (Kingston 16Gb class 6, Samsung 32Gb class 10) and yet I keep losing anything stored on my cards. Have had no problems with other handsets with these same two cards. Thanks to Verizon, my phone is bone stock. I'm thinking my handset has a bad card slot. Opinions?

Also had this problem have you tried formatting it via twrp and through settings (erase sd card) it works for me, for now
I would say it's probably a bad slot. I haven't had any issues with my XT1527 with a 32GB card. I've also had the card in and out and done various custom partitions like fat32+ext4 without any data loss or corruption.

Sadly I have the Verizon variant, I'm not eligible for the unlock program. My bootloader is locked down like a prison, so TWRP isn't an option.
I'm going with the bad slot diagnosis. My handset will have to serve as is until after the holidays, then I can justify replacing it.

have you tried formatting it through system setting? setting>storage>erase sd card, it works for my 32gb strontium, in my case i think it's faulty. Don't forget to back-up your files
I had a 32gb card that was used for ages and i think it got worn out and died.
over time it would disappear on me more and more when inserted in my Moto-E.
I had pulled it from a Galaxy S3 way back..
I used to have it scanned all the time with Kaspersky..
This caused it to get read in full every single time i put it into a PC.
I am suspicious that caused excessive wear and tear on it.
bought a new one but 16gb this time and it's working fine now.
main reason i got it was to put my MP3's on the card.
My old one kept having the music vanish and a prompt would come up asking to format it or it would simply vanish.. only for it to show back up and be fine later after restarting etc.
not sure if this is the same problem as you guys but i figured hey i might as well mention my story
i got tired of trying to reformat it via different methods or using different partition types and i simply gave up tinkering with it and bought a new one.
the new on has not given me a problem once.
