I have adata 16Gb class 10 card I order her trough ebay It's original for sure, and I have been using her for like half a year or so, and recently when my mobile shuts down (low battery) my mobile said blank card and and to format her. I have htc desire(amoled) I'm using Runnymede 6.1 stable ROM, and I don't think that has do to anything with my card blank, becouse it was happening on previous rom two but just so you know. Can someone please help my I tried full format ejecting card putting her back, and same thing, is my card dying ?

Did you check your card on a PC? Is it recognized and can you access it? If so, make a backup and try to check the card with on board tools (e.g. for Windows: http://www.ehow.com/how_6857598_check-sd-card-errors.html).

Alternatively, there are plenty of tools on the web, like
SDFormatter (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/)
or
H2testw (http://www.heise.de/download/h2testw.html)

Good luck! :)

PS. A while ago, I also had some trouble with my Samsung 16GB Class 10 MicroSD. I formatted it again and had since no more issues.

When I format her (trough my phone usb becouse I don't have sd card reader) she is okay again and PC recognized her but after some time she did that again blank sd and that usually happends when my phone shuts down not by me but when battery is low even sometimes for some other reason, it's iritating becouse I have to format her and install ROM again.

Mmh, it is a little hard to tell whether the problem is solely down to your sd card or also to your phone, as long as you are not able to test the card outside the phone with a PC etc. Have you tried touse the PC tools in disk drive mode? According to this thread, H2testw works this way. You might also wanna try apps from google play/android market, e.g. 'SD Tools' or 'SD Card Tester'. I have not used any of those, so I can't tell if they are useful.

Finally, don't you have any opportunity to use a friend's PC or borrow a card reader? Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend you to buy a proper (from my experience the cheapest ones suck, e.g. are very slow, don't recognize some card formats) card reader, either a multi-format one or a microsd2usb one.

If you still have guarantee on your card, why not simply get a replacement by the reseller? I mean, if you can still access the card (at least for a while) then you should be able to create a backup and later restore it to a new card.

I run H2testw and no error found. I was planing to buy microsd card reader allInOne and that kind of reader I know that cheap one sucks, but I didn't have anything to put in until now I mean I still have my phone and card in it and when I connect it to PC I can format her so I don't know should I really bought that reader...I don't know about guarantee becouse I throw away that serial number that was on the case and with that serial number you can register on adata site and see If you still have guarantee but now I can't becouse I don't have it :(
