[Q] SD Card/App Issues?

[zepfan221]

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?

I don't have that issue, could be a problem with your sd card too.

I don't have that issue, could be a problem with your sd card too.

Forgot to mention, I have a SanDisk "Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10", not a no-name card. The SD card seems fine on my PC via adapter. Think I should take it to BB and swap the Tablet? I really don't want to try another SD card and end up with the same issue, and out more money.

I haven't had a problem. Did you buy the card from a well known source? Sandisk is the most counterfeited card out there.

Sounds like a sdcard issue

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.

For what it's worth, I have the same card and so far I'm not having any issues whatsoever.

I do too but ours might not be counterfeit

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 purchased it from amazon, not another company through amazon, but I guess it's possible. I sent it back for a replacement.

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.

Good I hope everything works out for you... Keep us posted...

I have had the same issue with the exact same card! Funny that it didn't happen on my TF700T though.. Just ordered this bad boy to see if it helps..

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 ^_^
