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.

Is it compatible with the atrix 4g? I am running paranoid android 1.6 (like cm9). I have read about some one who it worked for them and one who didn't.
I've read that 64GB cards will work, but you have to format it in the phone after you install it in order to make it work. (The cards are preformatted with exFAT, which the Atrix does not recognize or support.)

Thanks But how do i format it?
the 64gb sandisk works great in my atrix (59.36GB usable) and MJPollard is spot on that you will need to switch it to fat32.

For important thing you should have a backup
Was working, has gotten glitchy
I have a 64Gb Sandisk sdxc that I've been using for about eleven months. Sent the phone back to Moto for some repairs, and it came back with the exact same software load (all current) that it went in with, as best I can see.
But the card was recognized without any problems before. Now, the phone keeps complaining that the sdxc card is FULL even though there are almost 5GB free on it. There were maybe 10GB free before it went in, I loaded more onto it this time.
So something is not quite right, perhaps the Atrix can't quite count to 64GB.
And of course my computer, which has an SDHC card slot, does not recognize SDXC cards above 32GB. I'll be getting a USB adapter to deal with that.
Very odd how the Atrix keeps complaining, yet recognizes everything on the card.
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
Is anyone else having the issue where the SD Card randomly unmounts itself and then remounts? I have already wiped and reformatted the card with the Note2 but the issue is still present. any solutions or answers?
I have the Tmobile version, but I have the same issue. I even did a full format of the card on my pc, but it made no difference. The card sort of works, but sometimes instead of the 'preparing sd card' I get the 'blank or unrecognized file system', and then I have to wait for the phone to go to sleep. It will usually wake up and recognize the card then, but all links to files on the card are broken. FYI, my card is a SanDisk 32GB Class 4. I tried an older 8GB card and did not have the issue, but then again, my 32GB card worked for a month with no issues. Very perplexed.

I have a Sandisk Ultra 32GB card. I only have music on it which I've only tested out a couple times, but never had this issue pop up at any point. Perhaps it is the format of the card? I do not remember reformatting mine before putting stuff on it. If you can, try testing another card or putting yours in another device to see if it's the card itself.
I had a 32GB Class 6 Sandisk Ultra, which was also used and worked perfectly in my GS3.
I went to my verizon store had my phone replaced.. threw the SD card back in, and it still had the issue. Put a normal 16 GB SD card in it, haven't had the issue yet. So I guess somewhere in the process of switching between my GS3 and the Note2 the card somehow got corrupted or broke??
Looks like I'll be buying a 64GB class 10 card soon lol

Okay so awhile back I posted a help thread asking why my 64gb class 10 sandisk microsd card kept dismounting / remounting. Ended up that the card wouldn't read in my phone at all but it would on my computer. I called sandisk and they said it was a Samsung problem (it's not). The Samsung representative told me that sandisk was fully aware that their 32gb / 64gb class 10 cards were malfunctioning on Galaxy S4's causing SD cards to fail, sd readers to fry, and even in extreme cases causing dead batteries/frying your phone. She gave me a direct number for sandisk that directly dealt with this issue and they will replace your card (they have limited life time warranties regardless). The new cards are fixed as it was only a certain batch of cards but if you ever had a random dismount problem or it's a reoccurring problem call sandisk to get your card replaced. Don't believe me, call bs as it wasn't a news worthy droid life or bgr post, I don't care I'm just sharing info that a Samsung representative told me and it may save someone's battery or even worse phone.

This was actually brought up a while ago. Your TLDR is misleading. A while ago sandisk produced a whole lot of 64GB cards prone to failure. Its not that this isn't news worthy, it is just old news. Of course it takes time for stock to clear, and you got one of the bad ones.
I still recommend Samsung UHS over a c10 sanfisk though

One day it dismounted, and I didn't think anything of it. went to use it and it wouldn't work in my phone, so I put it in the computer, and it still wouldn't work. I just assumed it died on me, but maybe it has something to do with this issue. Any chance I could get that number as well? Maybe I can get another, or send this one back and get a replacement or something. It's not the money, it's just the principal of the situation.

Confirmed.
I went through 3 Sandisk class 10 64GB cards. They start to mount and dismount, it gradually gets worse then one day they dismount and don't come back. Can't even read them in an external reader on a PC.
When my 3rd one started doing it I just gave up and ordered a Samsung 64GB card which works perfectly. Gave the Sandisk to the wife to use in her S3, works great there.
My wife's GS4 was doing the mounting/dismounting thing with my old 32 GB SanDisk Ultra (class 10) card that worked fine in my Note 2 for a few months before I upgraded to a 64GB card, so I gave her my 32GB card. I kept it in the phone, but just manually dismounted it so she wouldn't see it anymore (good thing I got her a 32GB GS4 so she had plenty of internal storage too), but it would still occasionally freak out when she let the phone die and then booted it back up. But I just installed the 4.3 OTA update today and it seems to be functioning fine now. I haven't seen it spontaneously dismount the card at all in the past few hours and I was able to use it to store pics on from the camera. So maybe this was an issue with the GS4 and not the SD card? Like I said; it worked perfectly in my Note 2 for a few months and I tested/formatted it on my PC several times to ensure it was a good card, but her phone still freaked out with it consistently before the last update. Its only been a few hours so far though, so it could very well start wigging out again, but I'll definitely post back if it does. Also, her GS4 worked fine with some old 16GB cards that we had from previous phones too, so it seems that both the phone and the card were at fault somehow.
This happens to me all the time (I have the 32GB ultra lass 10), every time I unlock my phone it has a notification saying the SD card has been removed or improperly unmounted. I' on 4.3 and it didn't solve the issue.
I hope it's an issue with the card and not the phone, I wouldn't be able to get a replacement since rooting left me on custom status...

its the card.. it does that when they start going bad and eventually will not mount in computer either. I always keep spares around.. with 4 phones and 2 tablets.. at least one per year goes bad.
i had a the sandisk 64gb card you are talking about and it fried after about a month. sandisk was cool about it and sent me a replacement card pretty quickly. i haven't had issues with the replacement card yet.....
I think you all should knkw that the nonhlos modem files are causing this behavior. I just tried upgrading from mdk to mj7 nonhlos file and this exact behavior occured. I confirmed by going back to the mdk nonhlos and everything is fine. This is with a sandisk 64gb

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?

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.
