I had the same problem with my Xperia Z, then I removed the SD card, backed it up to my PC using SD card reader, format it, restored its content and returned it back to my phone, since then it works as charm.
[Xperia Z General] don_gabrielli:
From day 1 I had this issue with my kingston 32gig card. Randomly giving me the message that the card had been removed so I used to take it out and put it back and sometimes restart the phone. Till it completely died after some time. Now I have a TDK 16gig and till now no issue.
[Xperia Z General] mata_mosca:
4.2 fixed the issue for me, or at least I think it did. I formatted to Exfat since the new update supports it natively, and I haven't had a single disconnected transfer or "unmounting" problem with my 32 GB Kingston.
[Xperia Z General] LEGGYMAMBO:
I've had a 32gb Samsung SD card fried by the Xperia Z. Screen started flickering all over then fried the card.

Definitely a hardware fault as seems too many people are reporting this.

To bad to hear that, if i have news i will post this
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
I never had any problems with my 64 GB SanDisk Ultra® microSDXC™ UHS-I card. After updating to Android 4.2.2, I did reformat it to exFAT, but it worked fine with FAT32 too.

I had this problem. Now my 32GB SD card dead. Replace with Sandisk Ultra 64GB.
[Xperia Z General] ionel2oo5:
I have 16 GB microSD card, class 10 from Kingston but never had this issue.
[Xperia Z General] geoz67:
I wonder if this is a phone or a card issue. My Sandisk 32 GB card died, but my Samsung 64 GB never missed a beat.
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
Anyhow people, loads of people dont have an issue with an SD Card, but loads do.

Commenting by Sony its a Software issue doesn't make any sense.

So whats going on then?

My idea in this situation, due to USB and SD are placed next to eachother, there must ne some interference on the SD
[Xperia Z General] sdujolo:
My card died and lost all my pictures :( I memory reader on the PC can't find the card.
[Xperia Z General] AcoAlex:
I got Kingston 16.gb class 6 and newer got ever eny some issues :) to me it like the each phone that does that is faulty :rolleyes: I can complain its an software issue cuz its just grait the new 4.2.2 :beer: but that is my opinion,cheers all :cool:

I lost all my music/photos.

My card is 64GB kingston class 10. It must be hardware that destroy the cards it should not be possible to brick a card my software or?
[Xperia Z General] 123schiff:
Same here, my 32gb SanDisk class 4 just died.... lucky all photos was backed up in google but Sony really needs to do something about this as there is a hardware fault which is causing dead SD cards. Now using 16gb and so far it's ok. Running 4.2.2.
[Xperia Z General] stiffi2011:
Killed my San Disk 32 GB class 4. Glad i found this thread because I was just on vacation and experienced this. Was wondering what the heck happened.

Is this going to get fixed? I dumped an HTC One in large part because of the removeable storage on the Xperia Z, but if that feature is rendered useless by a bug, the phone loses a lot of its appeal
[Xperia Z General] sensei_sai:
Ok, now I feel less alone.

My Sandisk Ultra class 10 64Go has problem to work well since the beginning. Since I updated to 4.2.2 I'm not able anymore to write on the card from the phone, PowerAmp doesn't see my MP3 (Walkman can see my MP3), contact App doesn't see the card, ...

The point is that the card seems to work well with a PC... I can format it, write on it, whatever I want... But when back in the phone, it's like nothing happens (I can still see my files in Root explorer even after a full format)...

So I've ordered another one, transcend 64G0 class 10, life warranty!
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
Your lucky then

Maybe an idea for every one use the Mega app to upload your data at least its a 50 gb account for free
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
This sounds like some phones supply an overvoltage to the SD card. I can't think of any other reasons why those cards would get destroyed.
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
I thought about that aswell anyhow it's a hardware issue then because this applies on several firmwares
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Too many disadvantages of cloud storage:

Does not work with apps like Walkman, Album, etc

Consumes mobile data

Slow(er)

No/bad network reception = no access to your files
[Xperia Z General] don_gabrielli:
Some users are reporting that the card thickness might be the problem. And it's not only our phone. See here:

There's a thread also at Sony mentioning that.

[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
That doesn't explain why the card can't be recovered
[Xperia Z General] Denhot:
I am currently using a 32 GB SanDisk ultra without any problems :)

But I had a similar problem with an 8 GB sandisk card earlier..it would become unreadable and the PC won't recongnize that it is connected.I was on 434 at the time.

Don't know if it will work for you...

My solution was to use the HP format utility , even though my laptop did not acknowledge the card, the utility recognized it and allowed me to format it.I did full erase.

(This would only lead to my card doing the same within a few days)

So an additional step was to use SD formatter by SD Card association after which they ran just fine :)

I probably guess it's something to with the default allocation size..all utilities made it it 4096 bytes and SD formatter made it 32 something (don't remember :p)

Hope this was helpful :)

Can't post links :(

Please Google sd card association

And hp format utility :)

Also run hp format utility as administrator.
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
No luck for me on this see image
[Xperia Z General] nikc0069:
I had a Sandisk class 10 32gb "die" - computer wouldn't read anything on it. Format in Windows, run Recuva to get back the pics and videos, then put back in phone, format in phone, no problems since.
[Xperia Z General] Denhot:
That sucks man :|

Maybe then it's a different issue...

But to expand more, I know normally sd card readers are on usb bus so it shouldn't matter..but I put it in an inbuilt reader., with an micro SD to SD Card adapter..if usb stick is used it may act as a interface. Incase you're using one and can try this easily otherwise.

Sony thus make class 4 and class 10 cards, though the price is bloated..Maybe if someone is having similar problems with them :/ then Sony can't say that external hardware stuff..
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
i tried inbuilt on many ways.

In pc, in printer, in a different Phone, in android tv device

I also connected my Phone as USB to pc but neither way any luck

Don't know whether it is related or not.
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
No offense but it's not only SanDisk memory having this issue
[Xperia Z General] stiffi2011:
It turns out my card was Transcend, not Sandisk but still died in the phone. Can't even be read by a PC. Now I'm trying a Kingston 2nd time around.

Am I the only one that is paranoid about this? I mean, the main reason I like the phone is the camera, and thus...I take a LOT of pictures. If I lose them again, I'm going to be really mad. I already lost the pictures I took on my little girls birthday due to this. Those can't be replaced.

Its enough to make me consider selling off the phone right now.
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
Im doubting of selling also but still in conversation with my provider to swap the phone
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Then you'd better regularly transfer your pictures to your computer. With computers and smartphones, it's very important to have backups of the things you don't want to lose. The hard disk of your computer can also crash at any time!

Anyway, if it would happen again, it cannot be coincidence anymore and you would have to send your phone in for repair/replacement.
[Xperia Z General] stiffi2011:
Oh I definitely backup. I only lost 2 days of pictures. They just happened to be the 2 days that encompassed my child's birthday! I bought the phone used so I'm holding my breath with this 2nd card.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
You really had bad luck then :(

Even with a used phone you can still claim warranty, but you might need the original proof of purchase (receipt).
[Xperia Z General] buellersdayoff:
I lost a memory card in my old samsung galaxy S3, no problems with my xperia z so far... I'd be more inclined to think its a memory card type, brand, size, format (one or the other, or combination) issue with android itself.

Mini tool partition wizard is good for formatting or resizing cards, just be sure to select the correct drive before you do anything :)
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
How do you mean claim warrenty?

With whom?

The manufacturer of SD or Phone?
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
You could try to get a new SD card from the SD card manufacturer, but if a second SD card also gets destroyed by your phone, then there's most likely a hardware problem with the phone and you could try to get your phone repaired or replaced by Sony.
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
Sure I can go back to the manufacturer of the sd and aDm for replacement, but my gutt feeling is telling me there is a hardware issue in the z causing this.

If so then Sony is responsible for this loss.

And yes I can ask replacement for the phone but who guarantees me the next one is free of this issue seeing people losing two sd's already?

With my provider I am busy to swap to phone for another model.

Last comment I got by phone from Sony was that they never heard of it and sounded like sd card issue Bull they provide the sd logo on the box aswell so every sd should work properly
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
Since my sd problem I'm monitoring my phone

Last few days the temperature goes to 35 Celsius plus

And voltage above 4

Anyone else have this also?

And what would be stable for the phone?
[Xperia Z General] sensei_sai:
35°C is nice... I saw mine going to 45°C...
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
Oh well i stopped at 43°C, but it cant do any good
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
I'd recommend using Dropbox, Google+, Facebook or another app that can auto upload photos and video into the cloud.

That way you won't lose precious memories at all, whether the card fails or the phone is stolen, your house burns sown etc.

As long as Sony keeps quiet that means there must be an issue with the z. Even on the original Sony forum no member replies to the topic anymore.

Sony Germany is quiet aswell after sending all information I gathered
[Xperia Z General] :
The reason sound ... time to get RMA???? Did any of you guys often change cards like different brand or speed or manufacturer in the phone to sd card reader? when is happened... could be the reason I've seen dead cards with HTC Rio 8s at work, 8GB/16GB cards just dropping dead from Samsung and Kingston, however SanDisk had no problem. I using sandisk in my Z had no problem. probably the issue is card related not phone and thats why sony is quiet . I always using SanDisk cards and even had a few that is 6y to 8y old now and i using them constantly without problem. Last time i had dead SD card it was in my Sam Omnia B7610....
[Xperia Z General] rayblo:
If You check back SanDisk is not free of this aswell

I have no idea what exactly I did that made such a mess my best guess is corrupted images somehow....

No Navigation menus, no notification bar, no power menu, No MTP access, adb on port 5073 showing no devices.

When you are flashing ROMs in TWRP, are you making sure to do a factory reset first?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
1. Download CyanogenMod to internal storage. Also gapps. CHECK THE MD5 TO BE SURE IT'S A GOOD D/L

2. Boot into recovery

3. Wipe- cache, dalvik cache, system and data

4. Install ROM AND GAPPS that you downloaded

5. REBOOT AND PROFIT

if that doesn't work let me know. There is no good reason for you to have these issues on a simple install.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LostSol:
So I managed to shatter the screen on my month old HTC One and have decided to give the GS4 a go, my question is should I buy the google edition and wait a few weeks for it to get to me (using a broken device until then) or is there any reason I shouldn't just get the T-Mo version? I believe I read that the GE was the same hardware, but I want the easiest dev experience possible, and if thats the GE then I'll wait.

Thanks for your input.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] yogi2010:
I was wondering the same thing, but i do know that Steve Kondik, aka Cyanogen himself, is the CM maintainer for the T-Mobile model, so i figured i couldn't be in better hands if i just wanted to run CM or probably most AOSP stuff.

Plus I think the GE edition stuff will for the most part be ported, but i really don't know too much about that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Personally, I'd say get the carrier version unless the subsidy pricing doesn't matter at all. There are already ports of the GE ROMs and software, so it's not like they're running some special version of Android that we can't use. I honestly see no advantage to buying the GES4 vs a M919; unless one just doesn't wish to go through the process of carrier-unlocking their device. But that shouldn't be a reason to not take advantage of the subsidy pricing or pay ~$50-100 more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] se1000:
I'd get the M919 version for the following reasons

- Stock radio when carrier unlocked works with all US GSM bands + LTE

- Bootloader isn't locked (not a big problem but one less hurdle)

- Coice of stock touchwiz, CM, AOKP, or now GE rom

- Easily obtainable through a T-Mo store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cozmo85:
The google S4 should be the exact same hardware as the tmobile version as it shares the same FCC id
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] se1000:
Correct, but it costs $80 more than the T-Mobile version, is still showing "shipping soon", and does not come with touchwiz stock, therefore one less option if you ultimately decide to go that route. Not sure if the partitions on the GE version can be expanded but it doesn't seem like a touchwiz rom will fit on it.

The only thing the GE version has over the T-Mobile version is that it has more free onboard memory, at least for now until they figure out how to resize partitions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] giant22000:
Glad to see this discussion. Surprised it hasn't surfaced already. Good info here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bunny24:
Last I heard the Tmo version of the S4 was the best version in the US hardware wise. Google to see what differences may exist hardware wise. The rest is all up to ROMs. And the S4 GE phone's rom is TouchWiz based.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] se1000:
WHAT????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bunny24:
Sorry late here I should clarify: it's not AOSP.

Don't TW kernels work on it? I mean The GE Infamous port works on Tmo S4s.
