Sd card problem! - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Blank SD card.(unsupported file system)
i try re-format it. but after awhile the problem just keep coming back.
i think the problem is the phone ( XPERIA ION OF CAUSE ) is putting something inside that cause it to have problem.
Note: i format it...(start from clean)
put some video inside. ( cause it happen before so i don't want to put a lot of things )
works fine for about a day?
i try to open the video by the photo widget, fail. video cannot be played
i reboot phone
Blank SD card.

Are you formatting the card with the phone or in your computer? Have you tried you phone with a different card? Maybe you have a damaged phone, same goes for the card. I got a 64 GB card for my phone, and had to format it with the phone before being able to use it, after that I haven't had any trouble. The only thing is that every time that I connect my phone through USB to my PC (Win7), it tells me the card is damaged and gives me the option of scanning and fixing it or ignore it. I choose ignore, but it a bit annoying to do it every time.

sounds like you have a faulty micro SD card, I had the same problem when I tried to put one into my blackberry. It worked fine on my computer but when I put it into my phone I kept getting errors, eventually it just stopped working all together.

I have a 64gb card and no problem at all. Pop it right in format using phone and just never have any problem with phone or laptop

Your phone came with a memory card?! Mine didn't.
Back on topic, I have had similar issues. I found that is I keep the phone in mass storage mode, and dont allow the internal memory to connect to the computer my issue goes away. I have ICS installed. So long as my internal memory does not connect, my issue has not come back. Give that a shot and see if it works for you as well.

Ah, I didn't get a screen protector. I guess that's the trade off.

me too , i have this probs

I had this issue once with my OG Dinc. The card just stopped working in the phone but still works fine in the computer to this day. I would bet on your card being faulty.
As for the Ion sd card I feel cheated as mine came with a 4gb card. ?? Got it at Boo Buy also. Lucky for me I had just picked up a 8gb card for another Dinc I acquired.

I too, have the same problem. I have to reformated my card a few times since I got the phone (just about a month). My card is fine, but after using a while, it became unuseable even in my computer. Reformat it, everything's fine but a week later, it came back! I'm on 2.3.7.

Could just be the card. I've had bad ones from the start, had good ones go bad, etc..
I have a generic card that would not work at all unless it was put in to an adapter, and then only sometimes. I've since put it into my Zoom H2 recorder where it seems it's the only place it wants to work full time.
I personally won't buy any off brand SD cards anymore, Sandisk only for me, have yet to have one of these crap out yet.

Make sure you are unmounting the phone in windows before you unplug it. That is what corrupted my card on my incredible.

I see. I'm living in Vietnam, those brand-name cards are so expensive. This card I've used for more than a year with my old Arc, class 10, without any problem. Since it goes with my new Ion, there comes problems! I'm saving money to buy a new card based on your advice! Thank you so much!

Yes, I did it all the time and sometimes I turned off the phone to take the card out for safety. Thank you!

Mine didn't come with sht! wth???
Probably is the card though, I've had similar issues in the past, none with Ion though. Sdcards can be rather fickle and hidden files can get stuck on there much like on a flash drive. I have a box full of flash drives that are irreparable.
Try replacing the card first. Also I usually let Windows repair mine when it asks. Seems to help. eb

Strange SD Card problem

I had a strange problem happen to my SD Card on my SG3. I have a Patriot 16GB class 10 card that I used on my EVO 4G for a almost 2 year without a problem. After when I got my new phone I clean all folders that I no longer needed except my pictures and some applications. Put the card in my SG3 and everything was OK. I was able to copy files take a pictures and everything seems to work the way it should. Last week I was on a trip and during the process to taking a picture I got a message that my card was removed and basically disappear. I reboot the phone and nothing happen. then a little bit later I saw another message that card was found and everything show up again. Then I check do I have all the pictures and most of them were there except on a last one was (when card disappear) basically it was look like that picture was taken a half way. So I delete that bad picture and continue. A day later it happen again but this time when card show up again instead a normal card I have that message in notification bar with a little sd card that it says Blank SD card. then if I pull down and click on it phone is asking me to format the card. I try to mount the card but got the same message Blank card or unsupported file system. Ok so I didn't have at that time my adapter to plug in to my laptop and wait until I got home to try to repair the card.
Here is what I got now and I'm not sure is phone damage the card or card slot on the phone is not good.
I use minitool under windows and GParted as well under linux. Both of them recognize my card as 60 GB Unallocated space (it is a 16GB). when I try to recreate or format both of them said successful but card is not show up. I have to plug it back and then it goes again as a 60GB unallocated space.
Does any one know how to format a 16GB card as FAT32? I mean the settings I have to use to put to get back again this card as a 16GB not as 60GB.
Sorry for the long explanation and thanks for you help in advance.
P.S. I' not rooted and on LG8 update.

Windows will format it just fine under Disk Management. The fact that its reading it as a 60GB... I'd bet on the card as bad. I have hours and hours trying to save thumb drives and SD cards. 97% of them had no hope. Sometimes the card reader can act up... but not likely, and the phone's kicking it out too. Try to stick with Kingston or SanDisk even if you have to pay a little more. Yes, Cards do go bad like that.

Thanks for the reply. It is look like that this card is going bad. It kind a surprise me since I didn't have any problems under my old phone. I will play a little bit more to try to repair it but....... looks like will be a lost a time.
Do you think that because it was a class 10 card causing a issue? I saw a couple treads but most of the SD card that people use are class 4.

Probably 1.5 year. I got my EVO 4G back in sept. 2010 and bought the card a couple months later when rooted my phone.
Yeah, like root said, the class wasn't the issue. The different phone might have pissed it off but you really never know. I never liked Patriot myself, but then some people like them. Gotta back stuff up or have it auto upload somewhere.

last week suddenly received a message that the card was blank. did everything i could not to format it. finally gave in and tried formatting the sd card but couldn't. had to buy a new one. sounds like yours is going bad as well.

When I first got my SGS3 I used my old card from my OG Droid. I got an OTA update and my phone quit working (I got the "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped working" message). I took the phone back and they asked if I had ever had an SD card in it. I said "Yes, my old card from my Droid." I was told that this is a "known issue" with the SGS3 and that any SD card I used should be formatted in the phone itself. I'm not sure if this is the issue here, but it might be.

Is my phone killing my memory card(s)?

Ok so i had a 32gb card and it started failing on my phone, it would work sometimes or ask me to format it, sometimes it would work fine so i assumed it was about to die soon so i was able to back everything up,.
Bought a new 64gb sandisk card, the one suggested from the accessories list...well i've been using it for about a week now and it just died on me today.
doesn't even get detected...
i never formatted, it, read that this phone could support it right away...well now nothing works and i've lost everything....again!!!
this is really frustrating...i've lost some major saved games and it's depressing
could it be the phone...or was it just a bad card
i've used the original charger and battery at all times...
any clues?

Look for File Restore Plus software. it will retrieve all of your lost files in your micro SD card. this happened to me a few times but this software saved my butt!
I may be wrong here but I seem to remember some people having issues withe the 64gb cards. Search around and youll probably find something.
Also check www.sdcard.org for more info on the sdxc cards and a sd formating tool that may help.

[Error] Sdcard unexpectedly removed

This has been the second time getting this error on SG3.
The first time I checked if the card was corrupted by putting the sdcard in the netbook, it was recognized and displayed all the folders. Inserted the card again in the SG3 and it wasn't recognized, rebooted into recovery and fixed permisions and cleared cache/dalvik and rebooted. The card was back up and everything was ok.
Again happened today, tried the same thing and nada Now it also says "Sdcard blank or unregonized file system" in notification and it then prompts for format confirmation upon tapping it.
I've googled and oogled and keep finding different solutions, some I cannot try now since I'm at work. One of them suggest to move all files to PC and format the card, I'll give that a shot at home and see. Another was to update the firmware, but on the latest L13... Apparently, this has been ongoing for sometime and there is an open issue in google for this.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19722
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9736 - Originally opened for LG Ally, but HTC and Samsung users have also reported it on the same issue.
Anyone else encountered this problem in SG3?
Happens to me all the time. Sometimes it will just continue to prepare then unexpectedly removed pops up, then that will cycle and kill my battery. I just got a new SD card hoping that would fix it but it did not.

I'm researching like a mad man! Found a few tools but most are for HDD and not microsd... found the one below that is supposed to detect the card/drive even if it's not mounted or has a drive letter and revover the file system, repair partitions, recover ALL file types, etc but nada
Had a few important fotos, my most recent nanroid, my TB folder, that last one hurt the most.
I didn't back up after the first "fix" cause I thought it was a one time things, never heard of this error before. Lesson learned

If your computer can see it and you don't mind losing data do a low level format on the SDcard
Edit: my SDcard started liked yours but got so bad i couldn't use it at all with my phone, I'm fact Windows couldn't even see it i had to use Linux.

Mine is in that state right now, XP won't pick it up, booting up Win7 PC to try it. My Nikin S70 detects it but it says unusable and won't format it either.
Guess my only option is to partition the netbooks HD and install Ubuntu on it, this gave a good excuse to try it out lol
Found this post that gives some pointers and explains the linux part.

And since I see this thread is fairly new, did everyone else happen to be on the leaked Jelly bean build? It happened to me after the phone rebooted while on the leaked ROM

Apart from the info already here, nope... I need to buy an external sd reader that gets a drive letter assigned without the card and try to force mount on win and run chkdsk, it's the only thing missing. Not even Linux picks it up! Not even force mount! This sucks and seems to have been a problem in android for some time now...
I did order a sandisk 32GB Ultra, but would like to fix this one. Might use it for the camera or give it to my better half for their TF700.

i was not on the JB leak. Beginning to think this is a hardware problem, so last night i unrooted and am going to the sprint store today.
I did try force mounting, chkdsk and everything else i could find but nothing worked. fortunately i am still able to return the SD card because i have only had it for a week.

Yes and no...It was stated by some members that there was a write-up saying that you shouldn't format your card because this would deduct part of it's useful life.
I never formated my card, it was inserted as soon as I bought the phone and been using it since and never formated it.
I'm going tonight to Wal-Mart and getting a card reader and seeing if that helps in fixing this. In an earlier post I attached a link to an old thread that gives a solution that seems to have helped others.
FYI, just got back from the store and it is definitely failure of the SD card reader. They tested it and my new phone comes tomorrow.

Sprint store? How did they determine it?
I used another sdcard that I had, 8GB, and the phone read it ok...
Edit - then does this mean that there might be a factory reset on the card reader in the SG3? :/
all they told me was that they inserted another card and it happened. Mine also fried two cards so far, so it is definitely pretty bad and i was confident it would fail any test they gave it.

hm... I'll clear up a 2GB one I have lying around and see how it goes before using the 32GB Ultra.
If it happens again, I'll visit the Sprint Store on Saturday.
Do you have TEP or was it covered under manufacturer warranty?
i do have TEP but it was covered under manufacturer warranty. took over an hour, but worth having the ability to use an SD card again

Hey guys
Been reading this thread, having the same issue.
Actually the only reason I post because I'm troubled of the error other then having an actual problem, this error been spawning up for me for quite a while, though it does seem to work perfectly fine.
You think the SD card could just Die one day ?
I hope you guys could determine if there's a factory defect in the SG3 or the Card, I got the international GT-i9300, I hope i won't have to return it, since the shop it was bought from is located at Poland and I live in israel (let's say that handling via warranty is not an option).
Need to check perhaps with samsung if they know of any factory defects regarding microSD card readers, My SDcard brand is Sandisk 32GB ultra class 6.
I fixed mine by completely removing the battery and putting in sd card then boot up. Sounds dumb but it worked.

Yes, it's been happening to me too when unlocking the phone (and seemingly more recently over the last week).
Using a Sandisk Ultra card and on the standard 4.1.1 ROM.
Let me guess, you are all using sandisk ultra cards? These cards appear to be a real pain in the a s s . Mine, (bought new off Amazon in October) went tits up and I believe it was the card that somehow caused corrupted files and caused my "media" process to be a complete battery hog.
About a week before the card totally failed to be recognized by my computer or my phone, I got those random messages about my sd card being unmounted and then it would just automatically scan it as if I had just inserted it when in reality I never took it out. I was able to copy everything to my computer about an hour before it was complete toast
I suggest you copy any important files on the card to your computer or wherever before it completely fails. I don't know what to do about getting a new card. I already filed a warranty claim with Sandisk but I am hesitant to use their brand again. Sandisk seems to be THE brand out there. I would like to try another brand.

Let me guess, you are all using sandisk ultra cards? These cards appear to be a real pain in the a s s . Mine, (bought new off Amazon in October) went tits up and I believe it was the card that somehow caused corrupted files and caused my "media" process to be a complete battery hog.
About a week before the card totally failed to be recognized by my computer or my phone, I got those random messages about my sd card being unmounted and then it would just automatically scan it as if I had just inserted it when in reality I never took it out. I was able to copy everything to my computer about an hour before it was complete toast
I suggest you copy any important files on the card to your computer or wherever before it completely fails. I don't know what to do about getting a new card. I already filed a warranty claim with Sandisk but I am hesitant to use their brand again. Sandisk seems to be THE brand out there. I would like to try another brand.

You explained well.... same sad story!!!
im using transcend 32 gb its work fine in my note but its not work properly in note 2
My views on this issue
I have started facing this issue since the past 3-4 days and here are my views that can also serve as valuable information for everyone else:
- This error message started to appear only after I upgraded to android 4.1.2 by flashing the stock rom via odin.
- Im also using the SanDisk Ultra Class 10 32GB card
- I have not rooted my phone after upgrade and my phone is in fully stock condition, although it was rooted before.
- I dropped my phone once. But it was a very minor drop and everything was fine after the drop as it was on 4.1.1 at that time and i was on the same for further 10-15 days and never witnessed the error during these days..
These things should also be considered-
- The method of copying data from PC to phone. I use data cable and copy to the folders while the card is in the phone.
- Whether you remove the card without unmounting it.
I have tried formatting the card from windows using fat32 setting. It didnt help.
Formatted it with the phone and still saw the error once in the past 24hours..
In future, if I encounter the same problem, I might get the card replaced by visiting the sandisk service center here in India. Or, I can try flashing 4.1.1 again and revert back the result. As of now, everything seems to be fine as I have not seen the error for about a day or so.. (Fingers crossed)

Rooted my phone and install CWM I get this problem, but after format the sd card to fat32, everythings go well......

Sd card dead?

I am running freegs3 newest version with stock kernel. I was showing a buddy some pics that were stored in my sdcard...a 32gb pny class 10. Everything was fine then I went to pull up another pic and phone started acting up...wouldn't pull up pics...finally got back to home screen. Tried to get to pics again no go. Got an ongoing message in notification screen saying something about new sdcard or unsupported files. Idk what happened but suspect my sd card. Anyone had this happen? Any recommendations?

well got home and put it into my adapter and laptop. It recognized the card, but said it was corrupted and needed to be reformated. i reformated it cuz I really didnt lose much except for a few pics. oh well... guess ill just be careful for a while and monitor it cuz the card is about 1 1/2-2 years old.

Well shouldn't matter the age, as long as its taken care of. When you remove it, do you unmount it, or just remove it?
