Hello all,
I'm stuck with an issue where my sd Card is mounting and unmounting on a continuous loop. Just upgraded to marshmallow.
I thought my Sd card has Just gone bad, so I purchased a new one. This new card is doing the same. I'm thinking maybe amplify or greenify is shutting down a service for the sd Card. Does anyone know of a solution?

My wife has the same problem with her G3. It started on 35b when she tried to move an app to the external sd card. The problem persisted even pin 10b and now 46a. Tried several sd cards with no luck.
Is there no fix for this? I have a 128GB micro SD card just waiting to be used on my G3.
I've tried multiple cards, reformatted it with the "quick format" unchecked in Windows, and rolled back to Kit Kat. Only thing left to do is replace the slot, which looks time consuming and requires soldering skills. I don't have the latter.
I thought I had a fix. Reformatted the card and it stopped unmounting... It was good for about 5 minutes!
My fiance has a 2nd LG G3 that Just started doing this as well. I'm thinking it is the Rom causing it.

Hi have a Lexar class 10 sd card that I purchased ~6 months ago for my Evo. Had issues with other cards, and this was the one card that was rock-solid for me on the EVO.
This morning, my Photon started acting very laggy. Programs would refuse to launch, and it was generally having issues.. Upon rebooting, my sd card was gone..
In windows, the sd card has a partition, but requires formatting now this card was rock solid for me in the EVO, so concerned that it died within 24 hours of having it in the photon

No issue here from my 2 year old 8gig and it has been in since Sunday.

I had problems with the same microsd card, and wound up having to RMA it. I've heard of others who have had similar failure issues. I'm highly skeptical that the Photon actively caused it, as opposed to just poor coincidental timing.

I'm a Sprint Launch Ambassador supporting the Photon and I would also recommend backing up the data on the SD card and reformatting it. Keep me posted on progress.

it was corrupted to the point of not being able to see it in windows
A recovery program that I tried (EASUS recovery) showed the files and gave me the option of recovering them, but since I didn't have much on there, I opted to just format it..

wow! my wintec 16g class 10 stopped working today , going to see if comp recognize it .. no cool!!

While I do not know about the wintec card, but the Lexar one has been known to do this. There are a few xda threads scattered throughout the forum as well as over in Amazon that have mentioned the card as well as a few others that work for a while and then poof they act like this. it seems to be common with 32GB class 10. Another one that has issues is Patriot (see xda thread) but at least Patriot has acknowledge the issue.

FYI. Estrong's File Explorer does not work correctly on the Photon. I have a 16gb sd card and Estrong's File Explorer will only detect 8gb of it. Use the factory installed file manager instead. I thought my card got wiped when I first got my Photon but that was the culprit. Windows showed all my files still intact.

Are you sure you're not seeing the internal media partition?

All I know is that when in Estrong's File explorer I can switch between sdcard and phone memory and it only sees 8gb of my 16gb card. Im very familiar with Estrong's File Explorer. I've been using it quite a while. Not sure what else it could be because the stock file manager on the Photon sees all 16gb of my memory card.
If you're not seeing internal phone memory, internal SD card, and external SD card) three separate locations) then you're just not accessing the SD card correctly.
Try browsing to /sdcard-ext

I have a microSD card in my phone and I don't have any problems with it not recognizing it. Maybe you have a bad card. Make sure the card works or the files you have are corrupted.
I a Sprint Product Ambassador and would love to look into this further to help. I need to narrow it down to any specfics I can get. So...
To anyone having the issue:
What was the brand? (i.e. Sandisk, Lexar)
Size of the card?
Any other information that may be pertinent.
One thing I noticed about file explorers in general, esfile explorer, astro, etc, they detect the internal memory as the sd card and not your actual sd card.
Also, I reformatted my sd card from my 3vo after backing it up, because in general when you put an old drive, or something similar into a new computer it may handle it differently than your previous computer did, in our case our phones. Now this may not be the case, but this is just my thoughts on how it may work. Which could in turn bork your card. Should be okay after a reformat.

Just had my SDcard become corrupted while in phone. Showed "Damaged SD Card" warning in Notification bar. I then had to reformat the card. It's working just fine now. I think perhaps some data while writing to card becomes corrupt.
Others report if you have similar issues.
My card is a 16GB Class 10 Patriot (I think)
I was putting music on my P769 and when I tried playing the new music, it would say it was a unsuppoorted format, it wasnt, it was a mp3. I tried other songs that I knew that would play and none of them worked. I then restarted th app and a song would play but once I tried another song it would do the unsupported format message again. I then restarted the phone, the phone then gave me the message in the notification area saying "Blank SD Card or Unsupported file system." I then tried mounting it, with no avail, it still wont work. I then factory reseted my phone and formated the SD card, and still that same message comes up. Also, before(and after) the restart, I would try to unlock the phone by pressing the power button the screen would start t turn on but automatically shut off, or it would go to a "snow" screen, but grey. Please help I need the SD card because of this phone's microscopic amount of memory!
I forgot to add that I tried the SD card in another phone and I had the same issue...
Get a new SD card. I had similar problems with my 32gb card when I got the phone. Bought a new class 10 16gb card and it works flawlessly.

Mine is a 32gb too... I'm glad I got a good deal on it...
I did hear of other people fixing it... Or just restarting their phone multiple times... But the other problems happened right after... I was thinking that it may have been something malicious?

I got the 32gb card for like $9 on black Friday around the same time I got the phone. It was flaky right from the start, but worked in my laptops card reader. Made me think it was something with the phone. It eventually stopped working in my card reader as well. Pickup a good class 10 card and everything should be fine.

So just so we're clear, can you put the card in an SD card reader and transfer files to it from a PC? Can you play files off of it through an SD card reader to a PC (or another non-Android device)?
I'm far from an expert, but maybe try breaking the card into separate partitions with something like MiniTool Partition Wizard. The card might be formatted in a way that the phone isn't familiar with. There are a few other threads on the forums that can help suggest what kind of partition would be best for your needs.
I have a 32GB SD card, and it took me a long time of messing with this damn phone to get it to do what I wanted. Card would disappear, messages about "insufficient storage", media scanner freezing up, on and on. This phone has been one huge pain in the ass. Right now I am just using a remount script to swap my internal and external, but so far so good.
Ok guys after extensive searching...I'm having the exact same issues. I did more investigating myself. When I removed the 32gb card from the port I noticed the pins in said port were messed up, the last two looked disconnected. After fooling with it for a min I decided to use the card on my tablet to get files from it, unfortunately the tablet didn't recognize the card at all. I'm thinking my phone corrupted the sd card somehow. I have yet to try another card in my phone for fear of messing another up. I'm going to try to insert the original 32gb card and have it reformat like it's asking and see how it goes. If that fails I'm gonna try a lil 2gb card in it. Also, I've contacted LG and am awaiting a return call for a warranty repair because it looks defective, I haven't dropped the phone recently, and just bought the phone in March from Best Buy... I'll keep y'all updated on my progress and wish me luck lol!

I am having this same problem with 2 32gb SanDisk Class 10 32GB cards. They are the red ones that Amazon sells.
Luckily I have a USB adapter for micro-SD cards. I transferred my data to Kingston Class 4 32GB cards.

Alright here's my update, I have the SanDisk Ultra 16gb micro SD HC I u (red and grey), I think my sd card is going out as well, but I'm wondering if there might be more to the problem. Yesterday i took out the card and I placed it in my computer to move some file. It didn't pop up at first, I wiped it and place it back in the PC and it started working. Once done, i place it back in my cell and it was working fine. I went into CWM to flash a backup. I was doing some testing so I flashed two different backups. So today i noticed that the Sd card it not mounting, but when I'm in clockworkmod it is working fine I have rebooted and checked several times, it's mounting and operating on my PC & CWM but not when the phone is on. I'm thinking CWM might have something to do with it, not sure (might be a system restore). I was going from 4.0(ice) to 4.1(jelly) & back to 4.0. I'm currently restoring one of my jelly bean backups to see if the problem is solved.
Update:
my L9 is back on Jelly Bean and the SD card is working, it might have been a corrupted backup (or something went wrong with cwm). Md5 is good, but it's not as accurate as SHA-256 checksum. Y'all might want to check if your SD card is popping up on CWM.
Good info.
this is a problem that occurs when we upgraded from ICS to JB. once I upgraded my d card would not work. So I took it out and formatted it on the computer. Then I partitioned it with a program I have and it worked. JB and ICS having trouble with the sd card. If you go back to ics then don't reformat our you work have tip reformat when you flash jb.

I have a Sandisk Ultra class 10 64gb external SD card which has worked well since I purchased the phone (several months ago). Recently however, I've been running into issues where the ROMs I've tried won't recognize it (Beans, Carbon, Liquid). The strange part is that TWRP recognizes it without a problem (I've flashed from it several times). I've tried both nandroid and clean flashes. I've done a a battery pull and booted the phone without the card mounted. When I insert the card, I get the typical "Preparing SD card" message, which doesn't seem to go away.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I could try and fix it (other than hopefully buying a new card)? Thanks.
EDIT: Ignore. Formatted the card and that seems to have fixed it for now.

I was going to say, Format the card should do the trick.
I have the same card but the 32gb. On Amazon alot of people complained about the card not functioning after 6 months of use. So I opted for the 32gb version which had the same complaint, just not as abundant.

I see you've fixed the issue, just in case you didn't already know though AOSP ROMs can only use the card when its formatted as fat32. TW ROMs can use the card formatted as exfat. Going back and forth between TW and AOSP may have corrupted your card if it wasn't formatted as fat32 when you went to AOSP.

It had previously been formatted as Fat32. Guess we'll have to see if it stays working or if the card died. Thanks.

It may just be that the card died, I have several 64 GB class 10 micros and have no issues, from what I hear though the class 10 is the worst and if you can get the original 64GB that wasn't a class 10 these issues aren't there.

I'm guessing something got corrupt somehow, or the card is on its way out. Once I reformatted it, it started to work again.
Woke up this morning to find phone refusing sd card, rebooted, same issue. Tried card in other machine - card dead. Tried several cards known good & it returns card damaged on every one even formatted cards. Worth trying a hard reset or is the phone junk? Only month old or so, never been dropped. I'm fairly good with Android & this has me stumped..
Thanks in advance..

Hello
Wondering if anyone else has had this experience.
I'm on the Stock Verizon 5.0.1 rom. I encrypted my SD card. I chose to not encrypt media files.
Afterwards, the phone began overheating frequently, I couldn't figure out what App was causing it. Then I remembered that I just encrypted the SD card. So I deactivated the encryption and now the phone is fine.
Anyone else have the same experience?
I use a Sandisk Ultra 128gb card.
Thanks
Sch-I545 model support until 64GB of memory card as far as I know, if you have 128 GB, that could be the reason...

I'm not encrypted running same ver. 5.0 with 32g sd and getting the overheating from SD . If I remove it, no overheating. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
The 128gb card works fine. But maybe a different card will work better. I assume that the overheating is associated with the encryption overhead, but I don't know.
I'm not having the issue without the encryption. deaves7, maybe you have a bad SD card? Have you tried another?

Update.
I backed up all my SD Card data, reformatted the card from within the Galaxy S4, and then enabled encryption.
So far no overheating, but the amount of data on the card is a lot less because I haven't copied all my files back.
