Since a few days, it seems like my phone doesn't allow me to write to my external sd card...
I got no clue why it suddenly changed, but i'm trying to fix my permissions of my storage map to what it was, but everytime i reboot my phone my permissions getting reset to those from before..
But a few seconds after my startup it looks like the sd card is fixed and i can take pictures, but then a few seconds later my pictures cant be moved to my sd card anymore... so it looks like theres a program or some settings or something else overwriting this
Also tried googeling this problem, but never realy found an answer, hopefully some1 can help me out..
ps. my sd card still functioning well, i can still listen to music and watch to the movies that were on my sd card..
happened to me.
format the card

Edit: Never mind, i came to the conclusion that all my data became corrupted....probably from too much screwing around. I wiped data and reformatted it.
So i woke up one morning and noticed that my external sd card wasnt mounted anymore.
I tried re-mounting it but it just kept failing...as if there was no sd card.
I took the card out and put it in my pc and saw all this gibberish, i cant take any of the files out of the folders because it says that the titles or something doesnt match or something.
I have some very important files on this card and need to recover these files.
Any ideas?

When you popped out your SD card without unmounting it first,caused a system to fail,the system uses the sd card for cache,android secure and etc.,if you are using apps2sd then it also stores your third party apps on the card,so when you ejected the sd card,viola,your apps don't work and/or disappear.Sounds like you need to do a complete wipe/partition your SD card,newer roms will require it,especially 3.5 and 4.0 roms.
First I like to say thanks for the responce...I've tryed using the format on my HTC but it doesn't say format it said erase SD...I've done it twice and its still not right...as for formatting I used my laptop to format it in fat 32 twice and its still not right...I haven't partitioned it and don't know how...that might be the one thing I'm missing
HI all
I was wondeing if you can help.
Today, all of a sudden my SD card has stopped working. It has been in use I had music and photos on it. But this morning after being charged last night it seems to have stopped working all togherther.
I have the SD card logo on my notifications bar.
It says 'Bland Card'. I have tried to mount the card in options but it isn't working. NOTHING has changed on my phone at all that i'm aware of.
The phone sometimes said that it was 'preparing the SD card' on the notifications bar but usually works after that but now not so much.
I dont know anything about routed or anything its just out of the box for me lol.
any help to get this working again is much appreciated.
***EDIT***
Also, my phone picks up my songs on the SD card in the music player but it isn't showing photos in the gallery or even regestering that there is an SD card in the phone???
Remove SD card and connect via card reader to a PC and try to recover any wanted data using RECUVA or a similar tool .
Then format sd card as FAT 32 in Windows and try .

I just bought a Z2 2 weeks ago, updated with the latest Lollipop update. And I found our that im having issue with moving data to my SD card. It was successful in moving data however when I tried to use them it seems that it was corrupted like apps - I cant open it, music - not able to play and pictures - cant show.
Ive rooted my phone already and tried sdfix however it seems its not working. How can I store/use my sd card. Btw I have a 64gb sd card. any recommendation to fix it.
and additional everytime I rebooted my Z2 my apps installed on sd card gets corrupted.
need help please..
That's odd.. I've never experienced that. Maybe you have a defective SD card? Have you tried copying files to and from your computer with the SD card?

Hi guys im having a bit of drama with my sd card and my samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 running android 7.0 unrooted
I first noticed this yesterday as utorrent kept throwing me an error during my download, when i selected the sd card as the download location i noticed it said app data then once i changed the location to internal app data things worked fine.
I tried to delete the failed download but a little error message came up unable to delete so i formated my sd card and it asked for me to select a file to allow write function, i moved my downloads over to the sd card then continued with another download. utorrent has again failed halfway through then upon looking it has actually wiped my sd card completely nothing shows up but apparently i have used 2.8gb but theres no files.
ive been looking around and ive been seeing bits about sd write function being removed after kitkat but i cant seem to find anything about my sd card being wiped or why i cant delete files. Please could someone help me understand whats what or point me in the direction of a thread that explains all this.
thanks in advance

E.g. SanDisk forces some of their usb pen drives into a permanent read-only state when the pen drive detects that it is damaged. Once this happens, this cannot be undone. It is a mechanism to try to save the data. Perhaps your sd card is damaged and something similiar occured? It sounds like a broken/damaged sd card. If you don't need the data on the sd card, you may try to format the sd card with your pc and then again format it with your mobile device. If this fails, it is likely that the sd card is damaged.

Thanks for the reply but tbh ive been really busy getting bits sorted for my holiday i forgot to update my post, turns out its the sd reader in the tablet at fault which is a bit annoying as its the 1st time ive used it in the 8 months ive owned the tablet. Its the 2nd fault to develop with the tablet 1st fault was unresponsive touch screen tight out the box that was repaired now i need to wait until i return from my holiday to have the reader fixed, luckily an OTG and sd reader works like a charm.
