Sony don't care!!!

Same thing just happened to my 32gb samsung class 10 card, been fine for 4 months I had just performed a backup of the device using sony bridge for mac,

Unplugged device from PC went to use the phone a couple of hours later and a not so nice message awaited me...

cannot even format the card completely dead... Just ordered a 64gb one but reluctant to use because of these known issues

Just got the damm phone back from the repair center having waited over three weeks and numerous phone calls to sony... with a black pixel issue on photos, another known problem?

So much for a Flagship phone eh!

And the icing on the cake SONY don't care less about us... And that's the truth...

Switching my allegiance when the phone finally gives up for sure...

Too bad you didn't read all the posts in this very long thread :angel:

For those still following this thread or just dropped in:

The information we have sent out to our service centers is that users encountering this problem should contact the vendor of the SD card to get a replacement according to the warranty for the SD card.

I'm still working with this problem (together with a lot of people) and we are trying to find a way to minimize the risk of the problem to occur. Unfortunately, we will not be able to solve the problem but at least we should do what we can to minimize the problem.

My Xperia Z killed SDHC twice, both Verbatim 16GB Class10. One in july second in October, IMHO the problem is when reading from the card a lot, when I put my music collection to SD card instead of internal memory, the card get killed. Maybe some voltage issues
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citats:
Most unfortunate... experiencing this issue on my Wife's new Z.

understanding that JB has changed the way it accesses the SD Card (powering it off and on frequently) and for some reason the dead SD Cards is very common on the Xperia, yet Sony or Google accept no responsibility? If JB introduced this issue then why hasn't google responded to the issue, if they broke it the vendors of SD Cards should not have to fix it. NicklasE your efforts are appreciated.

Just confirmed with laptop, third sdhc card died on me, funeral will be held tonight near the trash can, all greawing parties are expected to say a few words... :D

But seroisly now, this is third card since june this year, and it is not only čaše on xperia z, one was killed by sammy s4 i9505, one by sammy note2 i7100, and one now by xperia z tablet, and looks like fourth one is on the way, already started loosing photos from gallery (corrupted files) usually the First sign of trouble.

As i said before this is clearly or android 4.2 doing something or sdcard producers, but i am putting my money on android 4.2 couse current score is: 2kingston cards, 1 sandisk card ( all 32GB) and one more sandisk 64GB is on the way to corruption.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -totonio-:
I have some unmounting issues, and sometimes, the card still mounted, but I can't see any file.

I noticed that the card unmounts while i'm doing write/read operations, like moving a folder!

I never got it corrupted, I've been using it 3 months, it's a 32gb sandisk class 10.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiaZ77:
I would advice Xperia Z owners to use Transcend 32GB MicroSDHC, Class 10 or Transcend 32GB MicroSDHC, 300x, UHS-I, confirmed working for 4 months now.........got the Transcend after the ADATA got corrupted....I think the problem is not the the Xperia Z hardware, it's either android or the cards....i also heard the problem is caused by the memorycontrollers in certain cards.....no more ADATA or Sandisk for me................

Hi all!

I killed my second 64Gb SD card...

Like the last time, it appears while I was trying to move some relatively big files (around 100mb) via my PC to the XZ through the USB cable in MSC mode.

I think this is the problem. We should not use the card on the PC when it's in the phone.

With the third card, I'm trying to unmount it from the phone and plug it into the PC directly to move files on it. We'll see if this card will survive longer!

Second Kingston card died today. 32 GB Kingston Class 10 died back in July, and today just died the second Kingston 4 GB class 4.

The first one was used on Android 4.2 and the second one from today is on Android 4.3.

Today I saw that the phone is showing in the notification area "memory card removed" , I removed and try it with card reader but it was too late. Good thing this time is that I use Google Drive and Dropbox to backup my photos and videos when connected to wi-fi.

I think this is what happened to me as well. Tried transferring 480p files I downloaded from xz to pc. Now 64gb SanDisk is dead. There's no option to format it from phone or pc.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalray:
a side effect i noticed for some months now: if you have ANY SD Card problems, unmount it ! always !

the reason is simple: i got nearly double battery life now, because the android media manager keeps checking the sd card if an error occurs, so if you got any read errors, android won't stop trying to read that sectors and this takes away battery life a lot faster.

my solution: unmounting the sd card and saving pictures and movies to internal storage.

when the internal storage is full and i need storage, i mount the sd card (it's in the smartphone all the time), move the media files and unmount it again.

worked for months now. with deactivating "google now", location based service and stamina mode (yes i mean it), i have so much more battery life now. try it, you will be amazed how much longer u can use your phone. like internet and facebook takes away only 5 % in 20 minutes.

listening to music will only usw 2 % battery life in 30 minutes with display off.

SD card quality also matters alot. I found that a Sandisk Ultra has no issue at all with anything.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
I've been using Transcends and Sandisks for ages with no issues with either.

Kingston is known for being:

1) Frequently counterfeited

2) Even when not counterfeited, they appear to be using "A- grade" parts from Toshiba and SanDisk.

http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?page_id=1022
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
SanDisk all the way for me. Usually available for a good price and have been very reliable in my experience.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
The thing is, if Sony/Qualcomm/Google are all complying with their side of the SD card specification, then the issue isn't their fault even if they made a change - the SD vendor should be compliant with whatever version of the SD/MMC specification they are claiming to be compliant with.

An example are Samsung's notorious eMMC problems. See the Superbrick fiasco of early 2012 - they claim that VYL00M fwrev 0x19 is compliant with the eMMC standard - yet if you issue it a secure erase command (part of the standard), it has a significant chance of suffering permanent near-unrecoverable damage. No one saw any failures until Google released ICS, because prior to that, Android didn't send ERASE/TRIM commands to their internal storage. Starting with ICS, numerous devices started having major problems because their flash claimed to be fully compliant with the standard but in reality would fail spectacularly when issued certain commands. The problem showed up again in 4.2 or 4.3 with TRIM - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/EMMC_Bugs

From most of the posts, it seems like Kingston (known for frequently using A- grade Toshiba parts) and A-Data (a "budget" brand) are failing frequently, and only a small subset of early Class 10 SanDisks are having issues, with newer SanDisks running without issue.

If you look at the reviews for any of the earlier Class 10 SD/MicroSD cards, you'll see that for quite some time, many Class10 cards were horrifically unreliable. Most of them are fine now, but there were a lot of duds a year or so ago.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
Roger that! I posted some horrific pictures from Bunnies blog in post#94.

Showing how they tested chips in what seemed to be a dirty back-alley kitchen!

Anyway, major problem seem to be in the SD card firmware, so it should be fixable... I think that is a very interesting future project. We need the SD card firmware sources, or someone with really great RE skills, who also like to share their work. Firmware binaries have already been lifted, in a different thread, but I'm not posting where, since it's a dev/r&d thread...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apollo89:
I've had the same problem with a Sandisk Ultra microSDXC 64GB. It had put itself in read-only mode (likely because damage had been detected), after using it for about 9 months. I requested an RMA from Sandisk on 13th February 2014. I had to send the defective card to their RMA Department in Czech Republic and then received a brand new one. Instead of using it, I decided to sell it and buy a Sony SR-64UYA 64GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 (about one month later). So far, this card has been working fine for about 14 months.

I would expect this to be a hardware problem which cannot be fixed. Probably the SD cards can get quite hot inside this phone, causing weaker ones to break. I'd recommend to use an SD card from Sony. So far, I haven't had any problems with that and if their phone would destroy it, they'll have to bear the warranty cost themselves (instead of Sandisk or a different company).

Hi Guys!

I just upgraded my sd card for my xperia Z5 unit, from 32gb to 64gb. I put the 32gb sd card to my xperia z3.

Upon inserting the SD card to z3, the sd card was not recognized at all. I connected the said sd card to my PC and it worked just fine. I formatted it by 'right clicking' and noticed that the default type is just 'FAT'. Nevertheless, I re-inserted it to z3, still no luck.

I came across a forum suggesting to use 'SDFormatter' to reformat the sd card to FAT32, which I did.

Its a success!

Hope this help!

Hello!

I'm dealing with some branded tab KIANO BLADE CITY 2.

It has Alwinner A10 soc with 512 mb RAM and Mali-400 video.

So would like to install Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 from this thread, but I came to conclusions that I need my own compatibility pack first.

At this point I have fully working ROM with Android 4.0.3 for this tab

http://www.my-server.pl/kiano/cityII/soft/android4-BLADE-CITY2-ver2.img

As I have no previous experience with Linux or android I request some help with creating custom compatibility pack out of original rom.

Thanks.

Compatibility pack is the one created for each device in that CyanogenMod 10 thread. It contains kernel modifications for each device. For ex. without it you can get not working wifi or touchscreen and so on.

I can't post myself anything in developer section because of newbie restrictions. If you don't mind, you can post it there for me.

Thanks.

But you have 8 posts already, so +2 and you good to make a request yourself.

I hope that guys in the original thread will be able to help, especially as we have working ROM, which can be used for making compatibility pack, as I presume.

Hi! I have good news!

I was able to "port" original drivers from my stock rom for CarbonRom 4.2.2 and for CM10!

Both roms have full support for touch, gsensor, camera and wifi (CarbonRom has wifi drop issue but it is common problem for all devices).

CM10 is slick and fast. About ~1 min boot time (faster than stock one), a lot of drivers for usb devices.

I have goodix_touch_811 touch driver and dmard06 gsensor if you are interested.

4. On the Drop down menu there's a notification that says "Please install MDM" - i tried installing MDM but when the app is installed it prompts for a "company site code"

Possible Solutions that already tried

2. Flashed a custom rom (OCHIE ROM) but still the "Please install MDM" on the drop down prompts it and same issues, Cam+MMC+BT restricted

3. Flashed custom kernel (Berzebb), nothing happened "Please install MDM" on the drop down prompts it and same issues, Cam+MMC+BT restricted

4. Tried to locate the Application that restricts the use of the following features by using Titanium Backup PRO and was able to locate 1 app that says DM manager, tried to kill the app using Titanium backup and was able to remove the notification "Please install MDM" on the drop down menu but still same problem Cam+MMC+BT restricted.
