Not sure if this is common or not but I have tried everything I can think of, and I don't see anything.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 (brand new, stock build) but everytime I put in an sdcard The settings>storage still says I need to insert it.
I have resigned myself to it being a hardware issue, but I would really like a more pragmatic response
WTF man after 4 years I break with my n1 for this?!?!?!

if your ever doubt I ran into the same problem but the blowing it like a Nintendo cartridge didn't work so if you have a micro sd card reader on your computer use and format the Micro SD to exfat from fat32 this seems to fix the problems 9 times out of 10

This. I had the same issue and it took me a little bit to figure this out.

I came here looking for answer to this issue and laughed before blowing in the slot fixed problem. Now why didn't I think of that?
Got a pre used Galaxy Appolo 15800 and it will not read from sd card. It knows the card is there but will not mount/unmount or format.
Went to shop and tried other cards but still the same.
I am told the phone was on contract to 3 network and althought it has been unlocked the shop man wondered if there was a feature set into the phone by 3 so that reader doesnt work when the phone is unlocked form their network.
along the lines of blowing into the slot, I cut a strip from an old credit card and wiggled it about inside..
Bingo........ all systems go!!!!!!

I simply cannot believe this!!... I searched and read countless XDA, AndroidCe*tral forums and tech (C-NET) blog entries just to find countless posts of failing/corrupted SanDisk 32GB Ultra cards (as mine) inside S3's guts. No other card was working either and was resigning to reflash stock ROM and take it so tech support.
An additional search try and came to this post... And still cannot believe a simple (but powerful) blow inside the SD card slot actually solved the problem!! Thanks man! You saved my day (and my S3, my SD card and a week using a crap replacement phone)! :good:

Hi all, I had the same issue and unbelievable, the nintendo method works quite well !!!
In fact if we put the sd card at the top of the slot and keeping it pushed, we can see the phone detect the sd card! so a little poke and then it's fine ^^
Holy Crap it worked!!!

After an hour of searching every forum for ways to fix the same problem, I arrived here, with little hope of anything more than I had already found. I thought that it was funny, what you said. Then I said: "Meh, **** it. Let's give it a try."
It works. You are God.
*P.S. I use this website frequently to find fixes and updates, but I never really registered. Just so you understand how grateful I am for this. I know, I could have registered for an array of different reasons, but I want you to know that the reason I did it now is to thank you. For the fix and the laugh!
blowing doesn't work for me. formatting to exfat does.
thank god.
my workaround
Hi
it was twice succeeded for me
My s3 mini did not recognize SD card, but recovery was
Workaround:
remove sd card from phone
connect it to PC
do some copy from/to
attach it back to phone
Working!
I've tried everything said on this forum, nothing has worked. any other suggestions?

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.

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!

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

Is anyone else having SD Card and App issues? I find that apps randomly disappear, and my SD card unmounts on its own, A LOT. About 3 or 4 times a day, with pretty light usage. My widgets disappear (on the apps that are now gone), and settings crashes if I try to go into it to view the installed apps. I've tried a reformat of the SD card, I've tried wiping/restoring the device (3 times now). The only way it seems to "restore" the missing apps/SD card is I turn the device on/off several times. It doesn't seem to have a cause, it'll just stop. It's quite frustrating, and is actually keeping me from using the tablet.
Anyone experiencing anything like this? Do I have a bum unit?

Indeed. Amazon. Found out HERE that there is an issue with some batches of SD cards. Sent for a return/exchange. Leaving the thread here so others can find the info if they have the same issues.

I have the same card and have been using it for a couple months with no problems before this tablet but I'm having consistent issues with it as well as the OP! My problems are different as sometimes it shows nothing on the card, sometimes it will start copying from the card to the tablet and then fail.
After having these problems I formatted the card via the tablet with no difference. I bought this thru Tiger Direct 7-10 days before 10/10. Is this a good enough reason to exchange or do I buy a 2nd card first?

I used a second SD card I found lying around, works fine. It's an SD card issue. I sent it back, and just got my replacement now, we'll see how that replacement goes. I would say you should talk to TD for a replacement. It should at least help narrow down your issues.

currently im running a sandisk extreme 64gb no issues, swapped in the sandisk ultra 64gb from my s4 no issues, it wasnt till i swapped in the extreme pro 16gb that t started to act funny, mounting and dismounting...
I haven't had any mount/unmount issues.
The only thing I saw was after I inserted my SD card last night, two games (both Unity, btw), no longer thought they were installed on my tablet. Luckily, when I re-installed them from the Play Store, I didn't lose any of my save game progress ^_^
Hey I know I maybe left with no choice but to format it but I thought I would ask anyway. I pulled my 32gig card out of my TF700 and put it into my note 3 and everything was fine. It saw the card and life was good. Now I powered it off for the night and turned it back on this morning to get it saying the SD card is damaged and needs to be formatted.
Is there anyway to get the data off at this point and also why the heck did that happen in the first place? I just want to avoid blowing it out again if it was something I did.
You can try putting it in an SD adapter and plugging into a computer and see if the files are accessible. Try more than one adapter if you have it. If you can't do anything on a comp or your tf700 with it you're Sol and need to format it if you can even do that still.

I actually just got off the phone with Samsung. I had gone thru 3 64 GB cards. He told me I doing it wrong. Said I need to get brand new card format on pc then install in phone and format again then it will work flawlessly. Dunno why but I gonna do it and I asked about fat32 and he said that also corrupts the card. Some more then others.

Did you get it local to you or online?
sealed package or bulk?

online, sealed.
I've been having the exact same Issue! It's a brand new samsung 64 g class 10 micro sd. Formatted on my tablet. Works when I add files on my pc but in my tablet I can't write to it, only read.
And when I download new apps with the card mounted it has errors, I need to unmount the card just to install an app.........
What did you decide? I can't work out if it's a faulty note, faulty card, or if we just need to live with it?

Damn! Turns out i got a fake too! I messaged the seller and i received a whole refund. I went to radio shack today. $49.99 for a REAL (haha) Sandisk 64GB Ultra sd card. They were very nice about it too. Had to go in the back to look for it cause there werent any on the shelf. As i was pulling out of the parking lot a screaming employee was waving one in her arms haha. Made my day.
Now only if we can get google to allow play store content to save to sd like my phone does.....
Hi folks of XDA! I am in a bit of a pickle right now with my micro SD card that I purchased a while back from ADATA.
Long story short, I purchased a 64GB micro SD card from ADATA due to my needs of a little more storage than what this phone offered. I ended up using the micro SD card as adoptable storage as I wanted to be able to use both my internal and micro SD card for 'everything'. It worked great until the night before I was suppose to go on a cruise: music wasn't being downloaded as it said it had insufficient storage space, and I couldn't take pictures with the camera app because it couldn't find the storage. I got frustrated as it was showing I had over half of the storage available on my SD card and I just did not have time to meddle with this problem; it was late at night and I simply needed my phone for taking pictures & videos & music.
I ended up doing a 'no no' and ripped the micro SD card out of my HTC One M9 without formatting or anything (literally just popped it out of my phone), restarted the phone, and surprisingly nothing was corrupted; everything on my phone was still working. But not surprisingly, the micro SD card got a little weird where when I put it back into my phone, it did not recognize it and my phone wanted me to format the micro SD card. Fair enough. I did that and it said it could not be formatted ("Volume partition disk: 179,32 public' failed..."). Fair enough.
I went onto my Windows 10 PC, slotted my micro SD card into the adapter that it came with, slid the little notch away from the 'lock' on the adapter, and my computer says it needs formatting. I try formatting it but all it keeps saying is that it's 'write protected'.
I slid the notch on the adapter to the lock, and away, as well as kept it in the middle; nothing helped, it kept saying it was write protected no matter which part it was on.
I tried using scotch tape to cover it as some people on the internet found it to work when their slid mechanism broke. Still did not work.
Tried using another adapter, and it still said it's write protected.
Resorted to using the DiskPart technique via CMD; everything shows up, the micro SD card status is online and disk 1, 58GB, 0 free space.
Tried going further into the steps (i.e. "attribute disk clear readonly" & another way, "select partition"), and it says it could not be recognized due to fatal error of hardware.
Would anyone happen to be in this situation before and was able to get their micro SD card fixed or knows a fix for me? I'll be happy to give you more in-depth detail if needed. Thank you!

Did you figure it out? I've had similar issue. I had to insert and remove multiple times until my PC recognized it... I think when I booked to Linux it worked though.
That sounds to me like the SD card is toast. I think it's built into the cards themselves that if the controller is going, it goes into read-only mode so that you can get your data off of it. I had an SD card bite it the first day I owned it a few years ago in a camera. I would use either a Linux VirtualBox or Linux Live Disc to copy your data to your computer and buy a new card.

Unfortunately I still haven't figured out how to fix my micro SD card; it's just sitting on my desk collecting dust and sadness. I'll update this thread if I happen to fix it!
Also, "booked to Linux"?

Fortunately everything important like photos were already backed up into the cloud and my micro SD card has life time warranty so I guess I'll have to end up using it. AHHH cost of shipping & time from my impatience with removing the micro SD card. My hunch is that the encryption that occurred when I used the micro SD card as an adoptable storage may have ultimately screwed it up... ://
If anyone have any clues to how to fix the problem or would like me to try things with it, feel free to post a reply

I've tried using Linux but it's not working.
I'm having Two SD-cards collecting the dust as yours .
Please reply if you find any solution for revering those adoptable sd-cards back to working.
Thank U....
The nature of solid state memory is that any errors causes a complete failure. You will never recover the sd card. Return it to the manufacturer for a replacement.

Hey! Sorry for the late reply (school exams) but mine is still collecting dust and will be probably forever. For the price that I've paid (~$30), it's not worth to replace and it's better if I just purchased a new SD card. Time + effort to get a new one is far too great for me to care about getting a replacement.

Thanks for the reply
But even after sdcard replacement if you use same rom in your device then the new one is also going be damaged
My device has only customs roms of android 6.0 so there still bug in them if i get new sdcard i cannot use latest version in my device So i have to search for solution to unlock these sdcards

Oh I see. Fortunately for me right now, I am not using a custom ROM. I've been sticking to stock HTC and will proceed to do so until HTC stops giving out updates. I am not quite sure what you could do except try to manage with the 32GB like me by deleting all unnecessary apps, putting all your photos and videos into Google photo, and caching music that you find yourself listening to the most these days. So far it has been working well for me to the point where I don't find it necessary to have an SD card anymore! Perhaps it's a different case for you.
