(Q) SD Card Problems - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently using a Cloudfone Thrill 450q with a 16gb micro sd card.
I had no problem with the card for a while, but here's what happens:
-Downloads get stuck (downloads from browser, google play, installed apps stop midway)
-When you try to delete/stop downloads, the downloads stay in the notification bar
-When the above scenario has started, you wont be able to access games with files in the sd card
-Shutting down the phone would get you stuck in the powering off/restarting screen
-Tried reformatting phone a couple of times
-Tried reformatting SD card a couple of times (bot quick format and plain format)
-Tried checking for SD card errors a couple of times
*Edit
-Tried recording from FM Radio, when I stopped the recording, it hanged just when it was about to save, then showed same symptoms as above
I have a hunch that the problem lies with writing data into the SD Card.
So there are the symptoms. I tried googling it but I just cant seem to find a similar problem. Thanks very much!

Bump please. Really need help.

Have you tried with a different SD card? Do things save to the internal memory?

I had problems with sd cards larger than 4GB on 2 tablets and several phones (all Android) until I found SD Formatter 4.0 from sdcard.org. Cards formatted by Windows would randomly stop working or get corrupted. Reformatting would make them work for a few more days. Since using SD Formatter 4.0, I have not had any problems.

[Q] My apps in SD card gone after unsuccessful app installation

Hi guys, I've searched the forum to find any similar problem but failed. Im using Samsung SGS with darky 10.1 2.3.3. I downloaded an app from the Market but during the installation it seems that the phone stalled for a long time that I decided to press the back button. I tried to reinstalled but failed. I reboot then i realized that all the apps that i've installed to SD card are not there, and behaving such as no SD card inserted. Other thing and data in the SD card can be accessed, only the apps were gone. I've done common step such as pull out SD card, remove battery. But not formatted the SD card since I believe the SD card is okay. Any suggestion how to fix this..thanks

Also, the files deleted from PC, appears on SD Card, when removed. Please help me.
Have you tried to format your sd card?
I have have never had problems with class 4 sd cards until recently. I have had to buy all class 10 sd card for all of my devices that I have upgraded to ICS/JB. I don't know why, but I started getting all sort of problems flashing, saving, FC's. It was really weird. I didn't realize that it was the sd card until I switched the sd card in my tablet (with was already a class 10) to my phone. With worked fine in my phone, then my tablet started acting crazy.
this happen because u already click fix permission.. don't ever choose fix permission in cwm.. u might getting fc..

I had done formatting several time in XP, but still the problem persists. Also, Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't work...

SD card issues

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 .

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.

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?

SD card not detected

Recently my Redmi Note 3 (Kate) stopped detecting my Micro SD card. The phone didn't fall down, I didn't change Kernel or ROM neither. It just stopped out of the blue.
Weird thing is that on my computer the card works perfectly fine. Tried different cards with different sizes (16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB). All work fine on my computer but the phone doesn't see them.
A few times a day I get a notification that my phone detected a corrupted SD card and tries to fix it but quits with an error.
My first thought was that it was caused by the ROM I'm using (Citrus CAF) but the cards aren't even detected in TWRP (official and RedWolf).
So I guess it isn't the ROM's fault then.
Any ideas?
I don't know how to edit and attach a picture.
Attached you can see the error message I get when trying to format the SD card

Try a small size and format using FAT32 and tell me.
Ooooo... I didn't see the other post if TWRP doesnt see it try to mount it from there or just go to wipe and just select micro sd and see what's the output..
Hey! I am glad I am not the only one encountered this. I went to search everywhere in the web and most of it are talking about a corrupted micro SD card.
I cross checked by switching my alternative phone micro SD card into my redmi note 3 and it doesn't work as well. Both micro SD card works perfectly on my other phone and laptop, just when inserted into redmi note 3, it doesn't detect, nothing happened at all. There's no option to mount or unmount or view it from file explorer or via computer. I tried to clear cache memory too. It all happened suddenly on normal everyday usage, nothing new happened.
I faced Similar problems with sd card. But i have warranty on my xiaomi and i send it to them to check it. And they raplaced mainboard. Problem doesnt appear since that data.
