I recently had a Samsung sdxc evo class 10 fail (suddenly couldn't write anything despite having 80gb of free space left).

Did manage to copy the data off of the card but I ended up having to get a new card, this time I went with SanDisk class 10. So far so good.

Wonder if there is a defective batch going around (I purchased mine about a year ago)

I have the same card from Samsung,( it was free with the Note 7). Unfortunately, I'm still having problems playing videos. I've tried VLC and MX, but both only play some of the files from SD. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely have to format. If you'll notice the card is assigned I don't know what to call it and filesystem may have been handled differently. I had to do same. Took time but works proper.

Same thing happened to me, 128gb card bought about a year ago. I had to buy a new one.

This new one has been "corrupted" twice now to where I had to format it.

Thanks for sharing. But none of those is related to my issue. My card isnt corrupted. My v20 just wint read it but when I put it back in the v10 all is fine also my computer reads it. But the v20 dosent even see external storage that is my issue

Sounds like it may be a hardware issue.

I believe you are right I just popped in a 8gb san disk I had brand new never used and phone doesn't ever register it. But as far as I know regardless of Sd card inserted ir not the phone should show external memory in the menu

That is correct. The phone should detect it regardless of the need to format or not.

I solved this by moving the SIM from the main slot to the side slot (dual SIM model). Weird thing was that anything < 64 gig would read fine, larger SD cards wouldn't. Only thing i can think of is a design flaw whereby the SD card is getting pushed up and not making contact properly due to the SIM underneath it. Try taking the SIM out and seeing if it will read/format/re-read it then?

I have an ATT LG V20 that experienced the same symptom so I tried similar procedure by remove SIM card and insert the micro SD then boot up to see if it would first see the SD card and it did, after that I shutdown and reinsert the SIM card and everything is still working.
