i just did a power off and restart phone phone show sd card man hope i don't see this message ever again at least don't have to go to verizon
 
If an SD card is removed improperly (i.e., without Unmounting it first), that can potentially cause some data corruption if the phone was in the middle of writing some data to it. Since SD cards are inherently less reliable than onboard memory, a card glitch can also result in what is perceived as improper removal. This is why it's always a bit risky to rely on SD cards for important data storage.

I would restart the phone and see if the phone recognizes the card properly.

Glad to hear it's working normally. But use this as a reminder that SD cards can fail, so keep your important data backed up or synced somewhere on a regular basis.
 
well i google this and saw this https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...afely-to-prevent-your-phone-from/td-p/2967455

i was very nervous but hey at least when i power down my phone power back up it work i wonder why that happened?

now i did had to go back and put ringtone back in phone everything is in tact also i notice a few apps went into sleeping deep and never sleep when i look at apps some was saying auto disable or something like that but i removed them now they are good again

As I suggested above (and as your link also mentioned), this can be due to a glitchy or corrupt card, or possibly a glitch in the card reader itself.
 
it just happened again i'm going to have to verizon today from their thread they saying wipe system cache so i did that

hopefully message will never come back up i do hear that verizon alert when i did that<-when i restarted phone sound never came up

i did almost panic when i accidently went into downloading do not turn off target mode but was able to get out of that

Since it happened more than once, I would either reformat that SD card or try a different one, since the card might be corrupt or failing.
 
from what i reading doing other folks phones even somebody who has s20 https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/comments/ko7bb1/my_phone_keeps_telling_me_that_its_sd_card_was/

but like i said do wipe cache awhile ago not sure will fixed message saying it or not been using same sd card from s7

if this does it again i guess i have no choice but to put everything on this card to new sd card but lets see what happens

again 1st time happened today never happened before not sure if something matter one u1 3.1 or what i never removed sd card before an update and i upgraded phone back on 2nd

just to let you know this happened on somebody else phone today on except they were at and t who had sd card s7 put in s20 so something isn't right

now i have asked if anybody having issues with this happened on their phone sd card s20 plus phone today nobody responded back

this isn't me the person who reply to me and i quote

my S20 did the same thing and I am AT&T. I had the S7 and put it in my S20 phone. I tried to open my SD card photos and there were none, only the pictures on the phone showed. I transferred everything to a new SD card and it did the same thing again. A restart found the SD card but who wants this happening when you are at a wedding and when you try to take pictures you get an error that the SD card is unmounted. I was so furious.
Samsung needs to get to work on their current phones and quit trying to sell newer models. It's sad that Samsung is slipping so badly.

he transfer everything to a new sd card and did same thing<-something ain't right

but like i said after i did a wipe cache<-1st time i ever did on phone i have not ran into this issue i try to called verizon tech support they didn't understand

now let me point out that i did had to go back besides i heard ringtone after wipe cache reboot phone ringtone messenger and email's went to default i had to set it back

when i open up my instagram the gallery was all mess up i kindof deleted instagram folder from phone and had to go back reorganixe old photos s7 to s20 then put new ones to show up instagram that was a pain

yes something is fishey s20 plus phones today and i wonder what is wrong ya know about s7 phone storage problems and instead going to dark side get iphone i got s20 plus phone since had sd card inside and s21 don't have sd card

I bought sd cards for my first couple phones but never really used them. Then I started using pixel phones which don't use sd cards and never looked back :p My 2015 Moto X Pure Edition still has the original sd card in it and the card works great... all 16 gigs of it lol.
 
Samsung's SD card trays have had problems over the years, but it seemed to finally be corrected, for the most part, since perhaps the S9 series and up.

I had loads of issues with the S7+ edge and the S3. No explanation and you can get your data wiped from the card trying to get it to accept the card. It may help if you use your ejection tool to remove the tray, remove and replace the SD card and reinsert tray.

As others have said, back up your data before it gets lost.
 
i want to bring this topic back to life since i already made this post yesterday and nobody said anything yet not only did this same mesage appear 2nd time early sat morning but new message it couldn't read card

[I closed the other one out since its same topic and reposted here again]
 
Same sd card s7 when switched phones before Christmas currently phone not even displayed sd card after dad pit in last night when go my files saying insert sd card so I'm foul until Tues whe n cell phone opens not verizon
Again I'm not sure what to do since Mt dad never try put sd card s20 same from s7 back in and I'll foul up open slim Trsy last night s7 slim card fell out can't put in
So I guess if cell phone store activated s7 have to put slim back in
However if works old phone still they have to open tray s20 I don't know tech folks back of room has computer or not
But instead leaving s20 plus over there for I hope 1 day me take both old USB and new USB again if sd card actually still reads s7 be better copy stuff out sd card I guess get new one version and guy can transfer new sd card instead diagnostics leave z20 phone over there for a day? Maybe sd card needs cleaning
I just hope what happened early Saturday morning sd card couldn't read system ui follow up that 2nd sd card notification saying unsdety unmounted and me ***** restart wasn't sign sd card dead I hope tech guy can fixed it
I dread have to use s7 so slow

Ok when u had in the sd card in the s7 did you format it to internal storage or move app data to it?
 
I don't know I think sd card was from another phone Droid 4?, now keep in mind that I do go Verizon despite lecture phones don't use sd card anymore did try take out put In say try s7 phone thr. I went other cell phone place that has a tech same thing told me if left s20 couldn't fixed closing
I don't know why not open tomorrow rather than Tues
I kindof wonder if never restarted left phone showing both system ui mezsage 1 read and other ad card safety removed if fixed but doubt since no tech over there
I did read 2010 post samsung community someone posted search system ui clear memory forced stop restart but person wrote can't write mine Saif couldn't read I believe galaxy note phone

I try search in app couldn't find all I saw was one ui home I guess that is system ui?
I wonder if I did it in notifications when came up before restart sd it will read again but not sure since not in notifications anymore

When my dad take out s20 3rd time insert back in I failed asked him put sd card s7 ser works but too afraid. Might break something

Now ***** I was early this morning see since have hard time key open s20 I thought ok I try s7 if can I go ahead take sd card out put back in s7

Well I try 2 times key did get tray out a1st little then back in try that again I guess pull out too fast didn't know slim card fell out I tried an hour put in gave up
Don't want to tell my dad what I did technically didn't do nothing s20 but did get system tray s7 had hard time putting it back in
Both in zip lock bag I'm going to wait they put back in since may have to used it

So do I know sd card reads s7 no haven't attempted let them see

Now tell me this if does still reeaf s7 is it best take both my old phone computer USB and new one current phone if that place has computer assuming if read phone still read computer eh
I get sd card s20 plus I doubt free Verizon would it be easy copy ad card out computer and put it on new ad card phone
Instead leaving over there diagnostics probably have to take back phone off me not having to use old s7 for a day surely fixed?
Again not sure card needs cleaning or something phone made happen besides 2nd time safety removed notification
In your humble opinion do you think it's dead because it couldn't read if tech person can't get it read on phone anymore aka shot and i have to get new sd card put in phone?

You might need a new sd card they do get corrupt , if computer cant read it or any of the phones you have then most likely, if only your s7 reads it then its encrypted to that device and reformat to use for another device is the way to go but it will erase all data when u do that .
 
Why can I just copy it desktop computer and paste it inside new sd card and just throw away old card?
I assuming verizon won't give you new sd card have to buy it eh unlike slim card?
I guess if new sd card nothing is on it when connected usb phone to computer

so you saying if it still reads s7 and i connect it usb s7 instead usb s20 cord to computer it won't display on computer

what does it erase everything on sd card if i do that or everything on old s7 phone not a fan of that btw if that what it does
