Just purchased a Galaxy S7 Edge. I enabled data encryption and forgot about it. Slapped the SD card back into my old phone as I was waiting for a new case to arrive before I used it.
Swapped the SD card back into the Galaxy S7 Edge and now it cannot detect any of the old photos. Thousands of them. Gone!
When I stick the SD card back into the old phone, it sees all the photos but it just have a "question mark" on it. Cannot view the photos, but its there....
Swapped it back to the Galaxy S7 edge where I encrypted the card, and NOTHING.
I am decrypting the sd card right now on the S7, lets see if that fixes it. Anyone else?
looks like phone cannot decrypt the card. Stuck on "checking sd card".
Under the advice of Samsung support and Tmobile, I did a factory reset and that accomplished nothing.
Now, All I see is.

Do they still have different file sizes on them for example, over 1mb in size? If not and they are all around less than half a mb, then you have lost all your photos and can't do much to get them back because you encrypted them.
Do your pics sync to the cloud? Maybe you can find them there.
Lesson learned, backup your photos.

Hello.
I have a 1gb minisd card, and it's some kind blocked...
I dont see card in the phone. How can I format card from phone? I dont have a mini sd reader...
please help.. I'm newbie.
I'm pretty sure you NEED an SD card reader. You need to format the card (as FAT, not FAT 32), and you need to be able to transfer files to it at a rate somewhat better than the rate at which molasses pours in Canada in January. These things point to buying yourself a card reader (and they're cheap, usually less than $10USD).
The other possibility (and if you didn't like that one, you're really going to hate this one) is that your card slot is worn, dirty, or damaged. Remove the card and get in there with a high powered flashlight, a magnifying glass, and a can of air, and make sure your contacts are clean, and the slot has no debris. It may be easier in the long run to disassemble the unit to get to this area, unless you're like me and keep a handy set of dental picks around for...dentistry...on electronics.

Yeah, that's the ticket.
If none of this helps, it's possible your internal connections are damaged, or it's possible that your SD card is toast (even right out of the box, it happens).
i used wm5torage, and hp format utility and it work'd for me
So that 16gb sd card that comes with the phone, is that the only memory the phone has? Will it run without the card? My wife just got one and she doesn't need all that much space. I was thinking of putting an 8gb in the surround and keeping the 16gb card for my Evo.
I don't mind taking it apart, I just want to know if I remove the card will it screw everything up.
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Windows users, pfft.
So yes, you can void the warranty and take it apart to swap the cards.
No, I don't think the phone will fully boot without one.
Yes, removing the original card will make it unusable in other devices (besides formatting it with a nokia phone)
So it is possible, just make yourself aware of the risks involved.
Naaa I think I'll leave it alone.
why go to all the trouble for a smaller SD Card ?
Why worry about downgrading the SD memory in the phone just to get a lousy 8 gb back? Heck at the price of SD cards these days.....go out and buy whatever size you want for your EVO.
Now....if it were the other way around.....expanding memory in the phone....then maybe, maybe, the juice would be worth the squeeze.

My memory card today told me I was running low which I found odd.
Upon checking I noticed System Data was taking over 20GB of room.
Before using this memory card on this phone I formatted it as set it up for external use
I have been searching on google for a while and cant find any reason for this or how to fix it
Any ideas?
thanks

Found a fix
From your phone dialler, dial *#9900#
Tap on Delete dumpstate/logcat and it will show you dump result. Click okay and exit and reboot
Dial *#9900#
is working for some mobiles only.
Not for all. Others are still finding it difficult to get rid of insufficient memory message popping up when updating apps.
This problem is big and most users are suffering.
No other way than to format a mobile / factory reset.
*#9900# doesn't work on AOSP roms -.-
Edit:
Unplugging the MicroSD card, putting it into a Windows PC, and putting it back to Android changed the files. They showed up as Found.00 and i could delete them.
I just noticed that my SD card name automatically change to something like this. See screenshot.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It happens two three times for me.
I just formated the sd card and done a factory reset . Now it's ok . I don't know whether it is a virus or not
I just noticed this same problem on Elephone P9000. SD card (formatted as portable storage) suddenly lost its name 'samsung SD card', and became:
,%%@M-kM-^\-^K^SJb^J
For the rest it seems fully functional. Anybody any clue why is this?
I'm having a strange problem with my Boost Mobile LG Stylo 2 running stock Marshmallow. I have enabled Adoptable Storage using ADB, and have migrated apps and data to a Sandisk 32GB SD card.
There is plenty of free space. When the phone first boots up, everything works fine. But after a period of time -- sometimes an hour, sometimes days -- it seems to run out of storage. I can no longer take photos. Some apps that use the SD card for storage, e.g. HERE Maps, start and immediately disappear. Sometimes app updates will not install.
Here are some screen images that show the problem. (Screenshots don't work.)
Any ideas? I'd be grateful for any help with this!

Update: I think my SD card was (for some reason) becoming corrupted. One day, after updating some apps, the phone would no longer boot past the Boost splash screen. When I removed the SD card, the boot completed (minus all the apps that were stored on the SD card). I reformatted the SD card on my desktop computer, put it back into the phone, and did the procedure to enable adoptable storage on it. After reinstalling the missing apps, everything seems to be working normally.
