Hi there,
I have a problem with my Xperia 1 (latest stock) and same with the Xperia 5 of my wife. On both phones there are SanDisk Extreme micro SD cards in use, 512gb and 256gb.
When I start the stock camera app it happens in ~50% that there is a "SD Card is not available" error, then the app force closes, and with the second try it works fine. Also it happens every few weeks that the save location setting resets itself.
Both problems are very annoying.
Any idea what could be done to solve this?
Thanks!
Transfer the photos files manually once a week to the SD card folder. Do Not use the name DCIM for the SD card folder. That's all I do.

I have recently purchased a 32gb micro sd card. When I go to put new music on it, it shows from the pc side that it is loading on the external drive(g2 phone) and form the phone it says that it is on there. However when I disconnect the phone only the last album that I put on there stays and the music player will state that "this type of file cannot be played". I have formatted the card through the computer and to no avail, it acts the same.. I did format it on the Android and it worked, temporarily and could load music from my computer for a few days, then it stopped. I am clueless as to what is going on with it. p.s. I tried placing it in a card reader and it did the same, but i did not format it first that time. I seem to think the android is placing a bad file on it causing all these issues. (again I say this because when I format it through the phone it will work temorarilly) any help would be great, I really want toload my phone with music.

Hi there,
It sounds like you might not actually be utilizing your SD card when connecting to a computer and instead are attempting to load your music directly to the internal phone memory.
Make sure after you connect your phone to your computer via USB that you put your phone in "Disk Drive" mode by dragging down your notification bar and selecting your connection type. Without selecting this option you will not have access to your SD card when plugging in your phone to a PC. Now when you got to "My Computer" on your PC you should see your SD Memory card in addition to "g2phone"
Let me know if you need further help
I'm relatively certain you bought a fake card. A few months ago I was shopping for one myself. I bought 3 different cards, all counterfeit, so I just threw down $100 to get my favorite brand, Lexar, and haven't had any problems since.
The exact problem you seem to be describing is a kind of technology that provides computers with a false amount of flash storage. When it is filled, and then used, only the true space of the card survives, which is why everything else disappears.
If you want to test the quality of the card for yourself, use h2testw 1.4. It is free, and while having a strange name, it is easy to use. You'll know in no time whether you've been scammed or not.
I have checked the card with h2test and it states that it does have 32 gigs on it but that the card is corrupt, I have formatted the quick way with sd formatter. What puzzles me is that at one time I was able to load more on it and now I cannot. I feel that there is a fix, I am just not finding it yet.
Hey guys,
I am on Omega v34 and I have a problem with media scanner draining my battery life. Overnight I would lose 60% of my battery life and BBS has pointed it to media scanner wakelocks.
I have tried the rescan media root app from play store, it worked like a charm for the first few days with no problem at all and battery life was improved substantially. However since yesterday whenever I unlock the phone I will get a notification saying that 'SD card was removed unexpectedly' and it will mount the sd card immediately. It does not seems to affect anything, other than waking up the phone now takes a couple of seconds instead of immediate. However I would still like to find a way to fix this problem.
It definitely has something to do with disabling the media scanner, because after I re-enabled it the sd card is working properly and I did not get the sd card removed notification. As soon as i disabled the scanner, i get the notification again.
I am using Sandisk 32gb class 10, on the disk I have photos from the phone camera, some videos and a folder for titanium backup files.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like what I have, apart from I have more on my memory card, Sandisk 32gb Class 6. I formatted the card and for a few hours it was fine then it started unmounting and re scanning which drains battery and wakes the phone. Alot of people are having this or similar problems with memory crads so it looks like a samsung fault :/
I had three different memory cards and had the same issues with each of them. I've tried everything - different roms, kernels, customs, stocks - same results. Sometimes started just after I've put the card in, sometimes after couple days. 'SD card removed unexpectedly', 'Preparing SD Card' and finally 'Damaged SD Card, try to format it'. After couple of weeks I gave up, cleaned everything and sent it to my provider for warranty fix (with other issue - details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035618).
Phone returned as 'fixed' but nothing changed, card issue was still the same.
On Monday I'll send it again with the same faults. I'll keep you guys update, maybe it helps someone.
Hi All, i'd like to ask help for my 1 week xZ2.. Suddenly its stop detect the sd card on the setting drawer. But in the album or walkman I still can access my photos and songs.. How to get it back as it suppose to?
Hi, I don't actually own this phone and am asking on behalf of one of my family members.
Recently they were using their phone and one of the apps on the SD card (they were using it at the time) started to run slow. They exited the app and found that the icons of all apps on the SD card reverted to the icon what shows when the SD card is removed. They then rebooted the phone and the first notification they got was that the SD card was unexpectedly removed, they then contacted me and I suggested that they connect it to their computer in an SD card reader, they said that the SD card isn't detected at all. I've looked at it myself and can confirm it isn't working (it doesn't even work in my phone).
Has anybody else experienced this problem with the phone and if so have you been able to fix it?
I put a faster SD card in my daughters Moto E (which had slowed to a crawl) - formatted internal. Whatsapp can't save/download images. Camera can't store images. Many error messages about storage. I've ejected and reformatted multiple times. Do I need a hard reset? Is there a strange setting I don't know about. Setting it to external doesn't help.
Hi
Hi I did also have this problem although it turned out to be the fault in the SD card not the phone. Mine was a sandisk 32 gig
Hope this helps.
