Last night just before plugging in my beloved SGS2 I saw that there was an icon of a microsd card with an exclamation mark on it. The phone was complaining that the card was corrupt and unusable.
Card is a Patriot brand Class 10 16GB (Yeah, I went with a cheaper model). The file system was unusable and unreadable when I tried to read the data with a micro-sd to SD adapter on my PC. I was not able to retrieve any info.
I switched to an 8GB Sandisk card from a previous phone, but am concerned now about losing data again.
Has anyone else encountered a corrupt micro-sd card on their SGS2, or a similar problem with a Patriot brand card?
Thanks!
I was facing the same problem too. reformat it and it will work again....
however the micro sd getting corrupted every month.....
now sending it for rma...
Corrupt Micro SD
I have the same problem I formatted it with my sgs2 but now I think mine is worse, my 16gb micro SD card says it has 0 bytes in windows and therefore is to small to be formatted and in osx and ubuntu it says it has 2.2 tb and has errors and cannot be formatted.
It freaking happened again! Different card now, bought a 32GB class 10 on boxing day. Just a fortnight later I've lost all the files from it!

Have you tried just taking the card out of the phone and just connecting it directly to a pc with a card reader? My card use to become corrupted when a file transfer went wrong on my phone, but I just remove it and plug it in directly to my pc and it goes back to normal.
The first time I did, couldn't be read. Keeping backups for now.

OK I'm at a loss. I've searched for this issue and haven't seen anybody else experiencing this problem.
My Evo is relatively new. Had it just about a month now. Still stock. Haven't had any real problems until I bought a 32GB SD card. I've purchased 2 actually and have had the same issue with both. The phone reads the card fine supposedly. Shows 32GB available (just about). But I'm having the HARDEST time copy files to the card. I've got a ton of music, pics, ringtones, etc I'd like to get on this device. I can connect the phone to my PC, mount as a disk drive and copy to my heart's content. But then when I disconnect the phone and try to access some of those files, they're gone. I mean just GONE. The entire directory I just created with all of it contents... GONE!! Not misplaced or deleted by accident. GONE like they were never there. Like I didn't just spend 10 minutes copying 2gigs worth of files. And this happens just about every time I try. I unmount the phone properly, see the message on screen "preparing sd card" and all seems fine. But my music player says there are no files. Gallery is empty. Go back to look for the files I just copied on the card and nothing. Nowhere to be found. Now of the few hundred times I've tried this now, the directory actually stayed put a couple times. I was able to view my pics, or listen to my music. The folders stay right where I put them. But guess what. The next time I try to copy more files, my directories will disappear again. I've tried 2 different brand SD cards with the same results on both. I've used both Astro and ES to view the cards but it doesn't make a difference. I've even used and external card reader and copied files directly to the card. Still no luck. Please help. This is driving me crazy. Could this be a problem with the phone itself? I don't get it...
Well if you have used an external sd reader without success then the problem is not your phone. Your saying if you copy files to your sd,you cant see them after? So it doesn't copy from an external reader?

I strongly believe the problem is the format of your card or your computer.
If you are transferring files from your external sd reader and if its still there when you check,but gone when you insert it in your phone. Then I also strongly believe that you are looking in
/sdcard directory which you should actually be looking at /sdcard/ext_sd/

I'm saying that no matter if I use an external card reader, SD adapter, or connect the phone directly with a USB cable, the files I copy to the card will disappear "magically" once I dismount the card from the PC and attempt to read on the phone. Usually this is the case. But like I said, a handful of times, the files were where I put them, but disappeared the next time I tried to copy more files to the card. And no I'm not looking in the wrong directory. I know the difference between the sdcard and ext_sd folders.
What brand of cards are they? Do you have the same problem with cards of a smaller capacity?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
This looks like a problem with your computer settings. With some configurations, if you don't explicitly eject/unmount the drive from the PC, it won't actually move the files. It will only truly copy them when you begin the eject process.
I tried a Kingston 32GB class 10 card first, then bought a generic 32GB class 10. Same issue with both. I do have a smaller 8GB SanDisk class 4 card that I have not tried yet.
I made sure to "safely remove" the cards when connected to the PC. I've tried from both a desktop and laptop. Same results all around. I thought maybe the problem is with class 10 cards but I haven't heard anyone else having issues. I also thought to try a 16GB card. But that would suck since other folks are having success with 64GB cards.
I'm about to try to reset my phone and see if that makes any difference. I may be headed back to the Sprint store this weekend.

Where did you buy these cards? This seems like a fake capacity card symptom to me. Try copying just one or two songs and see if they stay. The cards are probably fine but this is something I ran across with a friend's card before who unfortunately turned out to be a fake. I hope it's not the case for you. Also (since the cards seem to be empty for you) run this to be sure the SD card is genuine.
If you actually bought it from a reputable source, then my bad but it's best to get all bases covered.
Now if the above is not it and you had the problem with two different cards, then the issue (probably) lies with your computer/transfer cable. Try doing the reverse, copy some things on the card from the phone and try to read it on the PC. If you need something to copy you can always copy the ringtones that come with the phone at /system/media/audio/ringtones.
Let me know what you find out
I seem to recall issues initially with 32g cards acting up, but I thought only if they were a certain class but could be related? Try the 8g you have. I had issues mounting the 32g I had, class 4 I believe, when I was still on stock. Sometimes it would mount, other times it would dismount for no reason without any warning. I would just know bc I couldn't access any thing on it.

Make sure the cards are formatted Fat 32 to begin with. And yes, definitely try the smaller sd card you mentioned.
Are you sure your looking in sdcard2 and not sdcard when in a file manager?

OK well here is an update.
It turns out the generic 32GB class 10 card was defective. Was able to verify that with the test utility racer posted. Thanks for that btw. I'm running the same test on the kingston card to see what it says.
I also did locate my 8GB class 4 card and that worked like a charm. No problems copying data to or from the card and definitely no disappearing directories. I just want a larger card. LOL. Hopefully the kingston one is ok after I format and test it.
I took my Droid Razr Maxx to a local repair shop to replace its broken screen ($279 + tax = ouch). After I left the store, I noticed that my 32gb Micro SD card was blank. I thought this was weird, but planned to just re-fill it with my music, etc., when I got home. However, I can't get it to read, much less format. I've tried two PCs (Win XP and Win 7 64bit). I've tried three SD card readers on both PCs. To be sure that the readers are working, I've tried them successfully in on both PCS with an old 2gb Micro SD card, so it's not the readers or the computers. I've also tried to format the 32gb card using the Razr itself (it sees the blank card... I tell phone to format it... nothing seems to happen... lather, rinse, repeat), but even after doing so, there's a status bar message that the SD card is "blank" or "has an unsupported filed system." When I try to copy a file from internal memory to the 32gb card using the Razr, it fails. When I cable my Razr to my PC it sees the SD Card slot as empty (if I try to copy something there, Windows says "insert disk"). The SD Card slot on the Razr is still functional, because my old 2gb card works just fine when installed in the Razr. My Razr is running Stock ICS 4.0.4, but is rooted.
Question -- Assuming that this is indeed the same 32gb card that was in my phone when I brought it in for repair, what could the repair shop have accidentally done to it that would cause it to stop functioning?
Either the shop broke it or they swapped it. I guess its the former, because surely the tech who did it would be risking his job if caught. Who wants to get fired over a $30 memory card. But I can't imagine what the tech could have done accidentally that could kill it.

Either a long exposition to sun/ magnetics/ dust// .etc can damage a memory. (in fact these artifacts are kinda sensitive)
Or it can just expire. A repair could work if it was at least being recognized by pc or card readers. But by your relate it'll not work anymore.
Cheers
I've seen microSD card die for no apparent reason. It actually happened to the 16GB card that was in my RAZR when I got it. I took the card out to give it to the original owner, and nothing - it was just dead.

I will need to try this!
Well... sorry for necro bumping this, but seeing as Micro SD's are a topic even nowadays, I'll ad my 2 cts.
My micro SD got partially damaged when I had too many programs on my Android Phone access it at the same time (Power Amp, OBB on SD, Galerie, Backup Program).
However in my case it was a fun kind of damage done:
- The data on the Disk was still readable, and I could recover most of it to a 32 GiB card (save for 2 unimportant image files).
The fun part is:
I can't format the disk, it'll always show the same content / files /size used if I plug it in again.
Deleting files does the same. Etched for infinity xD.
I'll try the magnet trick, as I wouldn't want anyone to read the card when I throw it away.
Hello all. Iam new to this, but I am hoping someone can help me out.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II from Verizon. I have installed a San Disk 32gb MicroSD card. I used the phone to format the card. I then created folders for music, photos, videos, etc. Next I set these new folders as the defaults for these file types, so that any music and photos, ect, will be stored on the external MicroSD card.
Now my problem: I copied all of my music files (about 1400, all in MPG3 format) to the music folder on the MicroSD card. However, when I attempt to play the music, a song will play for a second or 2, then jump to another song. It keeps doing this. If I play the song (stored on the phone) on my laptop (phone is connected via USB) it does the same thing. It will play a second or so, then stop.
I have deleted and recopied the music several times, I have turned the phone off then back on, nothing seems to help. Sometimes, after attempting to play music on the phone, and it reacts this way, I'll go back to the music folder, and suddenly it shows about 330 songs, not 1400 that were there before. A little while later, it will show all 1400 songs, but they still won't play properly.
I don't know if there is something I need to do with the phone, or the MicroSD card. I also noticed that 4 of my photos in my "images" folder would no longer display on the phone. After re-starting the phone, the 4 image files were gone completely.
This is driving me CRAZY!!! Someone please help!!
Thank you all very much for your support.
Bob
Oops!! I titled this thred as "MicroDS" instead of "MicroSD". Sorry
Is it a new card? One from Ebay or other unreputable seller? If so, you may have been scammed. Google "h2testw", it is a free program used to verify USB memory. It wirtes the entire drive full of data and then attempts to read it back. It will quickly uncover a fake SD card.
If that is not the case, then I don't have any ideas. The symptoms sure sound like a fake card though. The really crappy thing about the fakes is a lot of people loose valuable data when they move stuff to one of these cards. It all looks like it is there, but nothing beyond a few Kb transfers. Most of the time these are 4gb or smaller cards that have had some hacking done to display themselves as much larger. After the actual memory size is full, the file index continues to register files written, but they are physically not there at all.
Good Luck,
Jason

Hi, I really need help with this. I have the exact same issue except that I've tried 3 different 64gb sd cards now (from 2 different sellers on eBay) and have had the same results. I've tried different methods of transfer and different file types, same thing every time. The h2testw program doesn't detect my phone (phone mem or sd card) so I can't use that.
Now, I will say, all of these cards were ~$30 but were bought from high-rated sellers. Did I just happen to buy 3 hacked cards in a row?

Same here bought my from ebay 35 bucks first day popped into phone was fine phone read the card. Then i rebooted to flash aosp rom no go with card trued different computers some read card some dont and tryingbto format i get errors or cant complete action. In read on line you can format with a digital camera to UN corrupt the card will try later and report back . I you can try before that would be nice. I have 9 hrs left at work so.

Get a micro SD USB adapter and do H2Wtestw. The phones only mount MTP or PTP, you cannot run the test on the card in the phone, it has to be mounted as a USB mass storage device on the PC, and yes, I have no doubt that you got three hacked cards in a row. Virtually every high capacity card on ebay is fake. Most people see it mounts as the listed size and leave good feedback, it's too late to adjust your feedback when it eats all your data. Do some research, it is well documented out on the internet as to how many counterfiet cards are out there on eBay.
Later,

I have had similar problems with a lexar 32GB card. I noticed that when I copied files using the phone to transfer the files that many were incomplete. To verify this open a file browser and check the file sizes. I have another problem with my MicroSD as well. I randomly get an error stating that the card is damaged and needs formatted. I changed the format to exFat which has slowed the problem but it still does this occasionally. I an going to RMA the card and see if another card will perform better. I hope it isn't a problem with the phone because I don't feel like wasting time dealing with returning it to stock and setting up new one.
Is there a a good brand to buy like samsung ..also what does the card(say 64gb) need to be formatted to??

Samsung, Sandisk, etc. The key is ONLY buy it from someone reputable, i.e. direct from Amazon, NOT one of their resellers, and NOT from eBay. There is no free lunch. A 64GB Class 10 will cost you $50-$60, if its less do NOT buy it, its a knock-off.
Sandisk comes preformatted as exFAT. This is compatible with Samsung Touchwiz and TWRP recovery. It allows very large file sizes.
CM, ASOP roms, and CWM recovery do not support exFAT. You will need to format to Fat32 if you plan to use them. There is a file size limit of 4GB, and you will need third party software to format 64GB on Windows.

Ok thank you.i found out the hard way about the ebay cards.I'm running jellybeans 12 and TWRP recovery.
Well just picked up my new A52 5G really enjoyed it at first but now my SD card keeps getting unmounted every time I restart the phone. ( The best part about this is the SD cards are made by Samsung tried 2 different ones both are 128G) (SAMSUNG: EVO Select 128GB MicroSDXC UHS-I U3 100MB/s Full HD & 4K UHD Memory Card with Adapter (MB-ME128HA)
The typical SD problems Samsung is known for. Asking Samsung for solutions is not very informative. Please any suggestions would be great.
If not I guess I just ditch Samsung A52 5G and go back to the other evil the iPhone. Heck at least every time you turn that on it always works.
This sure seems like a great phone but that SD card issue is really a big deal at least for me.
HAve you tried the same SD cards on other phones or a different SD card on the same phone?
Yes, I actually bought 2 exact same cards, no issues anywhere I use them except in the new Samsung A52 5G.
Reading a lot of other posts seems to be a pretty big issue with Samsung and Android 11.
( https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...afely-to-prevent-your-phone-from/td-p/2967455)
What about if you borrow a card from a different brand? I swtiched the old SD card i was using onto my A52 5G and never had any issues. Could it be a problem with samsung cards? For reference I use a Kingston 32GB MicroSDHC with UHS 1
Try formatting card in phone if that doesn't get it try doing a low level format on the PC with a 3rd party app do not use the Windows formatting utility.
Then format again in phone.
Load card through phone.
Formatting the SD card was the first thing I did using a Linux PC. (Manjaro OS ) This was always my goto if I have formatting problems. The SD card was done in exFAT, however no luck.
The other option is buy a different brand SD card as mentioned above by "ImGonnaTryScience". (Thanks)
The card I'm looking at is the
SanDisk 128GB Extreme MicroSDXC U3, V30, 4K, A2, Micro SD.
I'm thinking maybe the Samsung SD cards are to slow, but who knows.
What doesn't make sense is the Samsung SD cards work everywhere with no issues.
I even have an old Galaxy Tab 7, Samsung SD cards works great in that. Speaking of my old Tab 7 I tried formatting the SD cards with that and then put them back into the A52 5G. This didn't work either. My thinking was Samsung should like Samsung but my thinking was wrong. (Maybe I should stop thinking.)
Speed in SD cards matter sometimes (for example the SD card I use in my dashcam needs to be a certain minimum speed otherwise it won't be able to record properly), but I find it very odd that it wouldn't work for a phone.

Not giving up just yet, I really like the A52 5G.
V30 should be fairly fast from internal memory to SD card less using the C port.
If you did a low level format then put it in the phone with not data on it, then formatted in the phone again... it should work.
I've had issues like this on my S4, now you see it, now you don't. I had to do a low level format to make it readable even on Windows. May have been a bad card but all sectors were intact.
May be card brand. Even afterward it would not see the requiring a reboot.
I'm using the Lexar .5tb V30 card in my Note 10+ and unlike what happened on the S4 the 10+ recognized immediately. Formatted it in the phone and zero issues since.
OP I feel you. This is a frustrating issue that really jams a monkey wrench in the cogs.
I be seeing red.
Pedal to metal, no brains diagnostic solution; get the Lexar card if the size and speed rating fit your needs.
$64 and known to work out of the box.

Well I may have solved my problem. I completely wiped the SD Card using MiniTool Partition Wizard. However I didn't add a partition or any kind of formatting. Once the card and partition was completely wiped I put it back into the A52 5G and let it do its own partitioning and formatting of the SD Card. Everything is working really well no more SD card errors, just hope it holds. ( 12hrs and still working, before that the error would pop every 30 minutes or so.) ( Still using my original SAMSUNG: EVO Select 128GB SD Card)
I'll update the progress in a few days.
Some reason the wipe of the partition seemed to do the trick. I don't really understand why since like I said the card worked well in everything except the A52. Maybe Samsung changed the format structure compared to there previous tablets and phones. Maybe its even an issue with Android 11 . All formatting in the past was always exFAT however something changed with this phone. I hope this will help out others who may be experiencing the same problem.

It's possible there was some app on it with a secure partition or something.
It may take or do what one card* did in my S4+, while never lost data it would go through spells of not being recognized by the phone requiring a reboot. No rhythm or reason to it.
Having to low level format a new card is not a good sign.
Next card get a Lexar, slam it in, format, good to go.
* it wasn't recognized by the phone or Windows. Only the Lexar formatting app could access it. After a low level format it was visible to the phone and Windows.
Really?
Well I said I would let everyone know the progress. Simple terms FAIL.
6:00AM this morning the error came back. ( SD Card was removed unsafely )
So I guess now I'll try the new SD card I mentioned above or the one mentioned above by Blackhawk ( Thanks for the info. )

Format in phone.
I would leave the card in the phone and up/download data via the phone rather than removing the card to do so.

Found another interesting read. Maybe Android 11 is the issue.
Reading through this post I see the Scandisk Extreme SD card has issues to.
problem with "sd card removed unsafely" notification
hello, can you guys help with this issue? looks like it is not just an A72 problem, but also on other models. the notification is very frequent, and happens even while the phone is on standby. what i tried so far a 128gb sandisk extreme pro...

I have no love for 11 and running on Pie quit happily on my Note 10+.
Can't say that Lexar card is know good for your phone because it uses a faster and different memory controller as well as the imfamous A-11 OS.
However before blaming the hardware or firmware I would give the Lexar a shot. It's a nice card to have regardless.
Well I picked up the sd card member Blackhawk was talking about this morning. A Lexar High-Performance 633x 512GB MicroSDXC UHS-I Card. I put the card in fresh out of the package let the A52 format the card about 4 hours later same as before, the fault came back. After reading the post the Blackhawk wrote about his pie made me think I'll try that. Fired up my pie4 and let the pie4 do the format. Well no luck there either within 30 minutes the fault came back. Well now I know its either the A52 or its Android 11. The cards both work really well in all may other devices. However the A52 5G is the only thing running Android 11. Now the question is return the phone or wait for Android 12.

Sorry to hear that. I meant that Pie as in Android 9. Try the Lexar low level formatting utility if you can find it. Again, format in phone before you use it to be on the safe side.
It seems it's the phone.
Try clearing the system cache.
Doubt check setting and clear data in associated apks. It still may be something not so obviously obvious... Androids wuv being played with.
Well I finally got the respond for Samsung I was looking for. It's not the SD card but an issue with there firmware. They claim it will be addressed with the next update. I used the Samsung Members App to send them an error report from my device and the response was quite pleasing.
( See there response)
Congratulations, you're a remote Samsung beta tester!
Just sloppy and unprofessional on Samsung's part and no fix... yet.
Eventually they'll get it but it should have never made it out for retail sale like that
Personally I'd consider asking for a full refund as without a working SD card slot the phone becomes a liability for me... as if this little ride hasn't already. That used 10+ is looking more tempting to me.
Wow. Well done
Hi another issue with SD. When I have tried to make a backup on the an SD card via the setting app it stuck after 85% and the result of it I got an SD with "write protection" which I can't change not via DOS not with other 3rd party tools. by the way its working on Samsung tablet including format and copy files but when I put is back to my mobile or try to check it on PC to delete the portion or make any change it still same issue "write protection". Would appreciate any idea before I put it to garbage. Thanks
