i notice this past week and i think it only happens suddenly if i leave phone on samsung smart charger unless it always been there never knew it

samsung sd card saying have corrupt files or other issues<-when i go to my galley and click on pictures instead default to albums i see that message

Your SD card has corrupt files or other issues. You may want to back it up or replace it soon." The only option it gives me is "Not now".<=got that from this reddit
now of course if i restart my phone the message will go away it seems to come back i think only if i leave it on charger on my s20 phone<-discover this over here https://support.google.com/android/...-card-has-corrupt-files-or-other-issues?hl=en

now long ago my sd card s7 went to s20 phone despite they told me walmart when got it sd card won't die which did and then i had to get a new sd card i think a scandisc date was back on july 6th 2021-

should i dismissed this and 1 day if i open up galley i just restart make message go away or what is the sorry sd card after 4 years i guess is going to die soon?

it used to not do this then again i normally don't click on pictures in galley because always defaults to albums maybe this is due to last security update i don't know

if i take it to a same cell phone place do you think they can copy stuff off current sd card to new card?

i hope somebody willl read my post asap

well i guess that didn't work at all while phone charger i click on pictures in galley message still came up despite that i got all folders to now display in albums

so i guess today will be going to repair store am not sure they will repair sd card or get me new sd card if i have to get new sd card at least when i come back home all i have to do copy folders that i still have on my desktop phone to computer at least it's not going to be a hassle this time around

i think i'm ok after my old sd card died on s20 phone at the time i had instagram under pictures sd card but i decided to not have them on sd card when had new one put them internal storage under pictures<-i assumed that set camera pics sd card if i get new sd card today those instagram will remain in internal storage and that folder instagram will still be in my galley under albums correct same goes as downloads and messenger folders?

so here's what did tonight at cell phone 1st off i could had left sd card to them pay 12 bucks for them to like clean reformat basically wipe out sd card or go ahead get new sd card

i went on ahead gotten new sd now i did upgraded 16 to a 32 didn't think i needed a 64 sd card and i didn't want to pay like 38 bucks

nonetheless they only had 20 scandisk sd cards another 16 or 64 now there was a 8.99 used sd card but didn't think that's good

so basically in a nutshell i went a different brand adta 32 gb guy told me alot of folks used paid in cash 18.65

i really didn't have to do much got home i forgot that there were already 2 a ringtone and a notification folder on new sd card so i just open up 2 folders on desktop copy songs from there to their folders

besides my music folder and those other folders from sd card i'm still not sure if i should still leave instagram folder internal storage or move them back to new sd card or not due to alot of space sd card guess i'm little afraid to if i do that if sd card get corrupt down road not sure want to do that or not and i did change my ringtones back to my ringtones

i just hope i made a wise decision getting a adta 32 gb sd card

Are you saying your new SD card has files already on it? And you've opened these files?
In the USA , a 64gb SD card is $10 to $15 on Amazon.

i'm saying that just a few mins ago while was looking at phone and went to gallery stuff i just put from computer to phone suddenly disappear and then when i went into storage i couldn't click to the right it saying sd card

so i did a full power off not a restart turn phone back on and automatically saw it come back up again from sd card man i hope that adta sd card not messing up already

normally when put a new sd card and you get notification saying sd card unmounted and it tells you to restart phone are you suppose to actually power off phone and turn it back on instead doing a restart? very nervous now maybe it's a glitch see what happens rest of the night into tomorrow and rest of week if sd card going to not disappear for some odd reason

i don't even think awhile ago i even saw a notification saying it was unmounted if it did prob came up and disappear and that why that happen who knows maybe it just need good shut down and power on everything going to be ok for now on

i'm in chat with samsung and they mention my files while i look into my files and i saw sd card not inserted

he told me that Yes, It seems the SD card is reading by the device right after you insert it and due to the issue with SD card, it is not getting reflecting after some time.

so i assumed the guy put it in right but something matter with adata sd card i will be taking this back to cell phone store today get refund money since pay cash back with receipt

i guess go back to scandisk i know cell store don't have 32 gb am not sure want to get that 16 gb that i got back july 26 2021 don't need 64 gb i'm not sure verizon has sd cards scandisk at store or not i may have to go walmart get 32 gb scandisk if i don't go back to 16 but adata=el crapo terrible for my phone

so my question is this should i once again do 16 or go 32 gb scandisk?

A 16GB SD card isn't even worth using. Go to Amazon and buy a 128GB or 256GB legit SanDisk card. It'll cost you the same as that sketch phone shop charged you for the 32GB one.


Do you even need an SD card at all? How much free space is there on your phone?

yes i do i despise verizion ringtones i want to used my own mp3's phone email text message i got at the time 10 folders random pics sd card a folder of my music mp3's i used to have apk's but don't used anymore

i always in past phones used sd cards r2d2 droid 3 or 4 i think s7 used to move games sd cards not anymore and whatever sd card i had when i got s20 used sd card i don't want to back up pics in cloud it saids 71.9.gb available i don't want a 128 or 256 gb when old sc card die and they gave me 16 gb scandisk i decided not to have instagram on sd card put it in storage

i don't want pay like 40 or 50 for a sd card kindof cheap and i don't wait to wait on amazon want this issue fixed now i thought it was finally fixed yesterday maybe i should had kept my so called about to corrupt 16 gb scandisk put it back in time being but instead i told guy throw it away

i didn't know that sorry 32 gb adata ain't good if verizon store has one and its not so high a 32 i wonder if can used a discount or something get price down otherwise may just go to walmart

i don't have a best buy where i live at in my small little town to get a so called samsung tech look at phone and not going to the one mt julliet anytime soon

basically i go in local cell phone store don't know a clue about kindof brand sd cards other then scandisk and i just chose wrong sd card and now issues because i didn't want to just leave sd card pay 12 bucks for them to like clean/wipe out reformat card

yeah it puzzles me they got 16 and 64 but not a 32 scandisk meh

You don't need an SD card to have your own ringtones. To be honest, it seems like you don't actually want help or advice... you do you.

I have to say this thread is making me glad I don't have to deal with SD cards anymore lol.

I don't miss them 😉

It isn't necessary to use an SD card to store ringtones. They are extremely small files. I don't have an SD card slot on my device, but I use custom ringtones.
