[Q] Sd card not working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys !
I'm relatively new to this and i don't know if I'm posting this in the right section. However here we go. I purchased 256 gb micro sd card via ebay and when i started to copy some music, card stopped working. I tried it on 3 different smartphones and still nothing. So is it dead or there is something i can do ?
Thanks a lot !

Galaxy Ace s5830i memory card issue

Hi guys, was hoping anyone can let me know what the problem is.
My handset is a month old, but the problem was from day one. I keep getting a error that the phone says my sd card was removed without being unmounted, while the card is still in the device. i have tried the following micro sd and sdhc card all brand new card but to no avail (2Gb scandisk, 8Gb Kingston and 16Gb Kingston), this doesnt happen so much with the 2gb in.
The phone also has a new pc board installed ( cause i bricked the first time )
Any suggestions ? is this a software issue maybe ? seeing as the sd card works and reads after its been dismounted.
Thanks

[Q] missing music files

Hey guys and gals, i just got my new i9300 unlocked phone running android 4.0.4. Loving it so far, upgrading from the i9100. The first problem i had however was the USB cable it came with, it seemed it was a bit faulty cause it kept disconnecting the phone, tried other cables and they all work fine so i tossed the original cable out and all is well in that regard, the only issue i have right now with the i9300 is transferring music files (over 5 gigs) from my windows 7 64bit laptop to the 16gig micro sd card on the phone. i have tried every method to copy my music over including removing the micro sd card and using the card reader on my laptop to copy the files and also rooting my phone just so i can install the easy ums app, but each and every time the card is mounted in the phone again, half of the songs end up in the LOST.DIR folder with some numbers as the file name and an unrecognized file type. I am in the process right now of trying to copy the music to the internal memory of the phone to see if this is the same issue thinking maybe the sd card is currupt somehow everytime it is mounted back to the phone. Does anyone else have any idea on this issue?
UPDATE: Just finished copying all the music to the Music folder on the internal memory on the i9300, all files are there, and they play fine, I am thinking the sd card is the problem, so i am going to try and buy a new sd card tomorrow to see if i have the same issue.

A standard problem with multiple posts .

oh trust me, i have googled and searched this and other forums EXTENSIVELY before posting here, i havent seen anything exactly to what i am having, and the issues that are slightly similar to what i am having were solved when they formatted their sd cards to FAT32, which i have already done.
A standard problem with multiple posts from the first month of SGS3 on XDA .
Trust me i have actually read them even answered one today/yesterday .
That was to put the music on the internal card until you can find a solution .

k, well thought i'd post an update for anyone having the same issue, i got a new sd card, a class 4 kingston with 16gb (the one that came with the phone seemed to be a generic one) and copied the files over, the drag and drop way, and all seems to be well for now.
Same issue with music files disappearing
I have had the same problem. I cannot find a pattern or cause. I am on my second class 4 32 GB SD card formatted as Fat32. I have yet to find a reasonable explanation or solution to apply. The card can be read in the phone and from a computer. But some how some music files randomly end up in the Lost directory
The ext SD was a key reason for me switching to this phone. I may be back to my iPod for music listening
Thank you for any help

Transcend 8 GB Class 4 micro SD
P.S. i tried formatting my sd but i got same result as before.
Questions go to the Q&A, not General section.
To me, it seems like SD issue, because it happens on both computers.

[Q] Android format SD card

Hello there
I just bought a new micro SD card a week ago, and decided to flash my GT N7100 to Paranoid Android - unfortunately it appears that both my new micro SD and my old isn't in the format FAT 32. Sadly I'm not in any way able to format the SD card on my computer, because I don't have any kind of adapter (besides a mini sd adapter, which won't work in any of the computers I'm in reach of)
So here I am, asking for a method to format your external SD card to FAT 32 from android, or in any way from adb, or whatever. All I've got is the media cable for connecting my phone to my laptop.
I'm new to this forum, so I don't know if someone will ask me why I don't just buy an adapter, and there's not much to it. It's a principle for me now, I have used more than 24 hours trying to find a solution for this problem, and therefore I will do everything I can and much more untill the solution is found.
I've searched the web, searched this forum, nothing cleared my question out.
In advance, thank you.
