Hmm..
Everything went fine untill a few minutes ago my phone was connected to my pc and I rebooted it, put in my freshly formatted SD card and it started bootlooping like crazy. So I pulled out my battery two times and after that I just let it loop and it did only twice then, after it the bootprocess was doing it's job and my phone started up.
to bad my HD2 won't recognise my SD card, would the bootloops come from the SD-card?
more commonly comes from bent battery pin
it won't recognise any of my sd cards and i keep on getting memory full
i can't even receive msgs even if my phone states that it has 90 mb free space
it refuses to even delete msgs with the msg that my memory is full
what the...
android for me for now
I have a 4gb micro SD card and today I had to do a battery pull because my phone decided to have one of it's 'random freeze moments' as I was downloading a song. When I turned my phone back on, my phone didn't recognize my SD card, just acted as if there wasn't one, so I took off the battery cover and pulled out the SD card and it was really hot. It was also very slightly bent out of shape and had a tiny crack across the halfway mark. I'm scared to try and bend it back because I don't wanna break it in half. Later I put it into an adapter (it somehow fit enough to slide in) and plugged it into my computer. The computer did nothing for a few minutes, so I decided to just pull it out. I put my fingers on the adapter (it's a usb cord that I can put my micro SD card in) and it almost burned my fingers off.
I know now not to be an idiot and buy a not-so-great card and to backup everything I have, but is there any way I can get the stuff on the card back or is it gone? And am I safe to put another SD card in my phone or will it turn it into a stove?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Me too

Almost exactly the same thing happened with my 16BG Micro SD in my Droid 4. There was no obvious crack or deformity, but my phone battery was draining really quickly so I plugged it into the USB charger. A few minutes later, when I needed to move the phone out of my way it was CRAZY hot. I could not get the phone to "wake up" and tried shutting it down and restarting it, with no success. I plugged it back into the USB cord and the green light on the phone lit up, but the computer did NOT ask if I wanted to view the contents of the attached mass storage device. It generally does that hourly while attached. I called Verizon Tech Support and after being transferred to "Tier 2" I was told a replacement phone would be sent. I got to thinking about why the phone battery was draining so quickly and remembered I had turned on ALL the GPS/Location Service options for some app I ran the night before. I thought MAYBE I could somehow get the phone to turn on just long enough to turn those battery killers off. I left it attached to the PC, twice it started to turn on (Batwing/Droid logos) but changed its mind.
After work, I plugged into my wall charger figuring it wouldn't hurt, since a new phone is due to arrive Monday. After a few hours I could turn it on while attached to the charger, turn off the location services, and it slowly began to charge. It felt hot when I unplugged it, and the battery still seemed to be draining fast. Furthermore, it said my SD card was using an unrecognized file system, and offered to format it, but failed when I agreed. Next, I tried the MicroSD card in my tablet, which could not read it. It seemed the card was quite hot upon removal 20 minutes later. I put it in an adapter, and tried it on my laptop. I could see it listed as a drive "Removable Media" but could not access it as it was "unformatted". I tried formatting it within Windows but was unsuccessful. I dropped to DOS and tried running chkdsk, but was informed that chkdsk can not run on a RAW format drive. I haven't a CLUE what an RAW formatted drive is, but plan to Google it to find out. I tried formatting,(from the command prompt) and it would get most of the way through, then tell me that then FAT sector was bad. I tried again, before removing the "very VERY hot" card and adapter. Without an SD card, the phone was cool. I put in another card, and the battery is not draining particularly fast, the device seems cool, and I learned something new about SD cards, I had thought the advantage of solid state storage was cool operation, low power consumption, and less risk of data loss or corruption. But when it fails, it seems that all three qualities degrade simultaneously, and it runs hot, eats battery power, and you lose everything on it. Live and learn.
it is better not to insert one coz I think u might go to service center and check the hardware.

Based on the statements youve made, Ive come to think that it is your phones overheating battery/CPU/GPU. Is your phone under warranty?

I registered to say me too.
This is almost identical to what happened to me.
I lost some work too.
I had to reset my phone.
Shortly afterwards, the phone did an operating system update.
I posted in the off chance that someone knows how to retrieve the data from the SD card in the future
Thanks

That almost sounds like the card internally shorted so it was drawing a bunch of current which would lead to heat and battery drain issues. Flash memory is usually more reliable since its solid state but theres always the possibility of hardware failure. Was this card brand new or did it just start acting up one day? If it was relatively new I'd try getting it warrantied, since this sounds like a hardware defect.
yup.. I got a problem aftwr trying to put it on my rasp pi 3b plus.. then when i try to check or insert again on my laptop.. my 128 gb.. got hot so quickly.. i think its hardware.. but damn.. i just bought it few days back
Hello!
I have got a 64GB micro sd card, it was running for a year or so in my Galaxy S3, before in The Note2. It was pre formatted in exFat - everything worked fine without a problem. (It is a SanDisk SDXC card, the grey/red one)
A few days ago I was walking home and my battery was about 3 or 4 percent. I wanted to listen to some music on my way home, suddenly there was no more music and I couldn't start the phone. I tried the power button, I hoped there may be a little power left, but the screen kept black.
At home I charged my phone. When I started it later the SD Card wasn't recognized. Although I had a lot of music on it I wanted to format it in my phone (I have got all music and the rest of the card backed up on my pc)
It doesn't work, there was some notice like "...couldn't be formatted" I don't know the exact words.
Then I tried to format it from the PC (the card still in the phone) - I couldn't even see the card.
Then I tried it with a card reader, and later on in a laptop with a card reader and both times the same:
If the card gets recognized it has to be formatted, but the size of the card is "32.6 MB" which is definitly wrong. This isn't space that was on the card left, there were some GBs left. Even if I try to format it the PC stops and says something like "couldn't end the formatting" -> my PC has german language, I can't tell you exactly
What can I do now?
Has someone had a similar problem? It was a 64GB card, and these are not cheap
Have I maybe killed the card when the battery was near 0% and I tried to restart the phone?
I am pleased about every answer.
Have a nice day

I'm on the latest sky dragon build every once in a while my phone will either crash or the audio won't work (this includes navigation and ring tones.) If it's the latter, I'll reboot the phone but it will hang at the red Verizon screen. If it crashes it'll reboot and hand at the Verizon screen. I'll pull the battery and turn the phone on, but it still hangs. Until I pull the battery and remove the SD (64gb class 10 sony) then I turn the phone on, and it boots doing. Then I insert the SD card and everything work find again.
There've been occasions in the past that for me and for others as well that something's wonky with the Micro SD card that's solved by reformatting the card and starting back from scratch. I know how much of a pain it is to move all your stuff off and put anything back on you definitely want to keep there, but there's not really anything else to try, I don't think. That's the inconvenient aspect of the now getting convenient-sized largish Micro SD Cards.
Good luck!
