Hello everyone!
I've bought yesterday a new 16 gb micro sd card, class 10 and I mounted it intro my phone. I started to copy files from my phone to card and after a while I saw that my files are corrupted. Every file I have copied on my card (music, pictures, videos...) were slowly corrupted.
I tried to copy files from my computer to the new card after I formatted it, but the same thing happened.
Then, I installed an app to check if the card has what it tells it has and it tells me exactly what is write on it.
After I restarted my phone, I tried again and I saw that some files I copied were disappearing. I formatted my card again.
Then I tried to copy again my pictures, but this time I have waited 5 minutes between every folder I have copied. And it strangely worked. My pictures are safe in card, no corrupted videos or pictures.
But this is not the same for music files. This card still corrupts my music files and I can't play them after a while I copy my music files on card.
I tried to use this card to make new pictures and videos and I waited to see what is happening and those pictures and videos are intact.
What I can do to fix this?
Thank you for your time!

I'm wanting to backup & format my SD card following a problem with Sense not loading described in another thread. Having read various threads about this problem it seems that some, if not all, revolve around issues with the SD card.
Through File Explorer, on the phone, I've selected ''Show all Files'' from within my SD card directory. However after connecting my phone to my PC thru active sync there are some files that are visible on my phone in the SD card directory which aren't visible in the SD card folder on my PC screen. I've tried to find the show all files setting on my pc but haven't been able to.
Thing is I don't want to backup my card then format it and possibly not backup all files that are present on the card.
Any help appreciated.
Hi there,
Two days ago I copied all the files on my SD card to my laptop, changed my card from a 2Gb one to a 8Gb and copied all the files back again onto the new SD card. I never even looked for hidden files neither on the phone nor on the laptop and it all went without any problems and all is working fine.
For sake of good order, I can't guarantee it will work with you as well, but it should.
Bye,
Itamar

Hi, thx for the reply. Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and go ahead.
Edit: Never mind, i came to the conclusion that all my data became corrupted....probably from too much screwing around. I wiped data and reformatted it.
So i woke up one morning and noticed that my external sd card wasnt mounted anymore.
I tried re-mounting it but it just kept failing...as if there was no sd card.
I took the card out and put it in my pc and saw all this gibberish, i cant take any of the files out of the folders because it says that the titles or something doesnt match or something.
I have some very important files on this card and need to recover these files.
Any ideas?
My S3 is a 32 GB but only about 26 GB is available for use. My music library is aroun 24 GB now and I was running out of space so I bought this 64gb memory card from eBay to store my music on. Now when I tried to sync it using the program I usually use to sync my music (easy phone sync) the music would sync but for most of the files when I tried to play them it would say the format is unsupported but when I looked at the files in the android explorer they're mp3s. I formatted the SD Card on my phone and tried again. Same thing happened. So I took the card out, put it in my laptop and tried to just copy the music files over. So on my computer when all the files were on the card, it had about 38GB left. But when I put the card in my phone it would say "preparing SD card" for a minute or two. Then when it was done the space available on the SD Card was 55GB and a lot of my music was gone. So I did some searching and saw that formatting to FAT32 might help. So I did just that and used the easy sync phone app again to try to sync my music but the same problem occured with my player saying the format of some files was unsupported. When I was syncing to the internal storage this was never an issue. Now it usually stops reading other files after the memory card reaches 55GB left. So why can't I put all my music on this SD card, and why does the phone delete the files I placed there using my laptop's explorer when I put in the micro SD card? Please help.
Fake faulty card is the usual .

So lately i changed my SD card in my device to a Samsung 32GB and when I transfered all my song, later I noticed on the music player that many of the artist are missing.
when I went to check what's going on, I found out many of the folders were been replaced by empty folders that their name starts with the letter "µ".
like for example, the folder "ACDC" became "µCDC".
I tried transferring everything back again facing the same problems with different folders.
I tried doing a factory reset and tried moving the song to the SD card through a card reader, and checked the files were OK before inserting the SD card back into the device and they seemed fined, but after I inserted the SD card I noticed the folders got curropted again.
also before I inserted the SD card there was like 500 MB of free space on the SD card, while after I inserted it suddenly the was like 15 GB of free space, caused by so many data that got deleted.
I don't believe the SD card is damaged, but that my device is messing my things up....
I also remember that I couldn't transfer any video files to the SD Card when it was in the device and could only transfer them into the device's internal memory.
what can I do?
Use the sd formatting tool on your pc to format the card, if still the same then throw it away. It sounds like a fake card, did all the files work while it was in the pc?

All the files have worked while it was on the PC.
I even tried transfering everything via a card reader and everything check allright.
only when I insert it in my device some of the folders get screwd.
I have been using my micro sd card for a couple of years now without issue, on the same phone. Suddenly, I can't add new files, or delete old files. I'm not getting any read/write errors or anything... but changes just won't "stick."
Say if I load some music on there, and I can play the music, but as soon as I take my SD card out or reboot my phone, the music disappears.
Same with deleting the files. I can delete the files, and then as soon as I remove the sd card or reboot my phone, the files are right back again.
I have tried formatting it on my pc, with no success. I have tried formatting with TWRP (I'm rooted) with no success. The files still REMAIN.
I tried checkdisk on my PC (I have a micro SD card reader) and it didn't seem to help.
There doesn't appear to be a read/write switch on my micro sd either (and when I use the card reader, I make sure it's not locked).
I am at a loss. We are about to go on a long trip and I'd like to add more music! :'(
Its now write protected... U cant use it anymore... Batter you get new one.
