Probably is fried

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Samsung microsd fried? That would be something else. Report it to Samsung and let's see what they say.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Timstuff:
I just wanted to chime in and say that I have a brand new S4, and I have already on multiple occasions gotten data corruption on my 64GB SD, and it's an official Samsung SD card. Just now I tried ejecting the card and reinserting it, and the phone erased the whole thing. At this point I am just going to swap it with the 32GB card that's currently in my Galaxy Note 10.1, because the Galaxy S4 clearly cannot be trusted with that much storage. There is literally no point in keeping 64GB of data on an S4 if you are going to lose it every couple of days.

The sad part is that the lady who sold me the S4 warned me that it was fussy about 64GB cards made by companies other than Samsung. I bought an offical Samsung card for that explicit reason, and it is still constantly failing. Sony's 64GB PS Vita memory cards may cost 3x more than what I paid for my Samsung SD card, but at least they're reliable-- considering that this phone costs 3x more than a PS Vita, you would think Samsung would up the quality control on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] clickityclack:
I've had the same SD card the entire time I've had this phone and I never had any problems with it until this last update and now it appears to be fried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MatangaChanga:
I have tried 4 different sd cards.

All of them are being unmounted and getting corrupted and not being recognized by the phone.

I formatted them in the pc in different formats to no avail.

All of those sd cards work well in other phones (s2 and s3), so it's not a sd card problem but a phone problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
I have ScanDisk 64gb class 10 card since day one of my SGS4 (release day) no problem at all. You all need to crate title for formatted card. Rename to some like in example : Phone, Samsung, Galaxy_S4, My_card...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MatangaChanga:
Will try that and report back, thanks.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

Did not work.

I also had a sandisk 64gb class 10 working fine for about 4 months until now that the phone started doing this.

Getting pissed off now. I got the s4 for the removable battery and sd card which now I can't use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scandiun:
If that's so troublesome for you I'd get a S4 with 64GB of internal memory. You can see in Wikipedia all exact models that have it.

Thank you very much for the suggestion, although I prefer to buy locally for warranty.

I will take my phone for warranty and see what they tell me...

I was unable to get my computer or any other device for that matter to detect my Micro SD. I needed the pictures off of it as well. I searched the internet and heard good reviews about recoverfab.com. I sent the microsd card to them and within two weeks they had recovered my pictures and sent the FTP link for a nominal fee. Very friendly and fast service and I would recomend them to anyone in need of file recovery from a non-working microsd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MatangaChanga:
Got my phone replaced.

Brand new s4, I hope the problem won't happen again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] steelydan9918:
I convinced two iPhone friends to come over to S4. Oddly enough, they both left due to SD Card instability. All fine from my end.

So in conclusion, it's the phone which is the sd card destroyer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kevinco1:
This past week after a year and a half with my S4/16GB card, I started having issues with transferring files larger than 1GB to my microSD card. It was a major inconvenience since I flash a lot of ROMs. Ran a bunch of apps to fix disk or permission errors, unmounted the card, etc but nothing helped.

I eventually bought a new 16GB Samsung card for $20. It's double the transfer speed which is quite nice for backups and overall. I have no idea if the card started having issues because of the S4 itself or normal wear and tear, but this might be the only official fix for this ongoing problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scandiun:
The other card was Samsung too?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kevinco1:
Sorry, should have been clear...it was a SanDisk

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] samer2050:
I am writing this thread with much disappointment , disappointment because of a very large fail for android :

simply , the phone destroying the data on the SD card , how its happened :

1 install many Apps on your phone (> 3 GB)

2 move this Apps to the SD card

3 restart your phone

Result :

1 congratulations your SD card need format now , and all your data have been lost !!!!

or

2 some of my apps disappeared !!!

conditions of this situation:

1 you should have large SD card (32 GB in my case)

2 maybe you need to install big apps (in my case , some are 1GB / App like Asphalt 8)

3 restart your phone 6- 7 times

notes:

1 my phone supporting the (move to SD)

2 I have tried the original ROM / Stock ROM / miui / lewa / cm10 _____> all with same great result which indicate that it is android system problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scandiun:
You could tell us which brand is it. As I been told at Samsung tech support, microsd cards fail quite often, however don't worry, warranty covers you. Don't worry if you have to replace 5 cards in a year, just choose Samsung brand.

There's also the option to buy smartphones with 32 or 64GB of internal memory, which in the end are very difficult to find because people wants cheap phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] samer2050:
Mine is SanDisk 32GB , and yes I will get a phone with large internal , but , why nobody is able to find a solution?? this is so weird

I bought a 'SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 10' from Best Buy about 6 months ago. It worked fined until a couple weeks ago it corrupted on its own, which made it impossible to format. It was stuck in the state it was in before it went corrupt as in I couldn't add new files to it nor delete files off. If I tried to delete them they would reappear within a reboot. Anyway what I am trying to get at is; I have just bought a 'Samsung 64GB EVO Micro SDXC' off of amazon for about 45$ usd,which had nothing but great reviews for all samsung phone users. It has a 10 year warranty and is supposedly "Waterproof, temperature proof, magnet proof, and X-ray proof." It has been a great replacement to the faulty SanDisk I was using. So if you're looking for a dependable micro sd for your s4 I would say go for the samsung EVO lineup. If anyone currently is using one or decided to buy one, let me know what you think of it ;)

Any idea how I can wipe my data ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SprintGalSII:
What happens to files saved to External Storage, moved from internal, and lost?

My SanDisk Mobile Ultra 64 External SD card has gone bad. But I didn't realize it until I removed it and tried reading files from it on my PC.

For about a month now, I have been seeing weird things with videos and photos, both of which are viewable for a few minutes, then the photos disappear, and the videos become corrupt and un-viewable.

I switched entirely to external SD because I accidentally deleted a priceless photo that was stored internally, only to find out there is no way to retrieve deleted files from internal memory, and there is no undelete "button".

How imbecile is it of AT&T/Samsung/Google to lock down the phone from "root" access, without providing a way to undelete deleted files? Idiots.

Anyway, based on the observed lost files, corrupted videos, I'm assuming files are temporarily written to internal memory, then moved to external. If they cannot be written, rather than an error message, such as unable to move file, they are permanently lost, without possibly of recovery.

Is my speculation correct, whether partially or fully? I partly speculate this because burst photos are stored ONLY on internal memory. And therefore I assume ALL are stored at least temporarily on internal.

Is there any way around this, that if true, is adding insult to injury for the fact you cannot retrieve internal memory files that are deleted.

I am guessing I need to switch to internal memory, then copy to external, verify they write, then delete from internal, or continue to risk losing priceless videos/photos because the idiots at AT&T/Google felt compelled to treat me like a child and not let me access deleted files in internal memory on MY PHONE!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mdamda1:
Happened to my Sandisk 64 GB Extreme Plus just today and figured out a fix for those who may still be encountering this problem.

Apparently, formatting the card ON THE PHONE ITSELF will start this heating issue.

Formatting the card on exFAT via Windows on a card reader will result in the phone not heating up and eventually killing the card.

Hope this helps and applies to everyone experiencing this issue and not just me.

Edit: Spoke too soon. Reformatted the card and 10 mins went by, no issues. Put the card back in the PC/card reader to transfer old files back. Heating problem again. Afraid I'll kill the card if it sits in the phone too long. Sad.

i would conclude theres a bad batch with the controller malfucntioning more so then the phone itself is destroying sd cards. that or the cards are defective but i never read the thread to see if most users tried alternate brands/cards.

Seems you didn't try or searched properly. I rooted it, removed all bloatware & chinese apps, flashed google apps (Mine was on 2.3.5). Only problem is that boot loader is locked so difficult to flash any ROM, but anyway I didn't want to flash ROM. I like a lot of things about this chinese ROM. Mine is working perfectly except one issue that Hangout doesn't detect my front camera.

Hi, if you still have not done it, follow post no. 6. It's pretty easy & perfectly safe.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

If you have usb debugging enabled, you can use adb to push system font back & reboot, And after installing tamil font & replacing system font always change the permission & ownership.

If you don't have usb debugging enabled, then you can do a factory restore from stock recovery option.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hamzer11:
I literally just did a hangout on the way home yesterday over mobile data. Is this an updated version of Google+? Maybe I won't update.

Nevermind- just followed the links and saw that this is the *new* hangout app which is going to replace Talk apparently. What I'm not clear about is whether this replaces the Talk apk or the Google+ current apk?

Did some more reading. So this is in fact a Talk replacement. From the Play Store:

First, title is Hangouts (replaced Talk)

and then

NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the

old Talk app

, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!

So they will push this out to all. Not really a big deal since you couldn't video with talk right now anyway. But from an integration perspective it sucks. I'm wondering why AT&T would block this and still allow the google+ app to do hangouts over their network. They must assume that many more would use this over the Google+ app.

It also notes that there will be no "invisible" mode. Kinda stupid to take that away. I use it all the time. I hope they don't force the updates.

ATT is the client here...i dont agree with their policies but it is in their full right to make those demands. Imagine if you have kids, and you dont want your kids to go on X and Y sites, well you can ask the provider to block those websites. The kids might not agree with their parents but the fact is, it is their rights. And before the trolls come in and start saying that this and that doesnt hold up in my story, please, shhhhush, it's an analogy of principale and not a fact.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
Does anyone know how to force the Hangouts update? I still have Talk and I can't figure out how to update to Hangouts. I can't from play via browser or the play app.

I found a APK online and when I try to install, it says "did not update" or something. I checked "install from other sources", but it didn't help.

anyone have any idea how to force the update without root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raitchison:
I could see that argument maybe if you are talking about subsidized phones which (again arguably) are leased from the carrier, but the same restrictions apply if you have bought your phone outright.

In this instance (or in the case of Wallet) Google is a 3rd party software developer, to try for a similar analogy it's if my kids teacher told the grocery store not to sell me certain foods because they don't want my kid eating them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] erasat:
If you are rooted just downnload Titanium Backup and Uninstall the Talk App, then download Hangouts from Play Store, that's what I did last night, if you are not rooted then I still don't know how to do it.

I tried exactly that, even rebooted after uninstalling Talk but before installing hangouts but I was still not able to start a video chat over cellular.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
yes, but an outright phone is still "renting" service from ATT regardless. Its like when you buy or rent a modem from an internet company, or a car, or anything else for that matter, if the provider said no, then you wont get your candy. in any case, we have already determined that ATT are aholes, they block so much good stuff for their clients, i'm speaking about tethering, facetime and other, i dont know why US carriers are like that but here in canada, we dont have all those restrictions, and we are just north of you, we technically can share line and service...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sandman7793:
The only time AT&T blocked video chat is if your on a old phone or still on the unlimited data plan. I still video chat every day on lte. But I also came off there unlimited throttle plan a year ago. It's actually unlimited access now not unlimited data. When you get to 2gb they throttle you so slow you can barely can open a web page. On share data with 6 phones all with tethering it actually ended up being cheaper then all the phones buying there own data
