Welcome to Android Central! Chances are that the card has become corrupt or damaged. Do other cards work normally?
 
i didn't try other cards ... but i tried this card on another phone and it worked but it says that the card is 4 gb but the card is 8 gb

In that case, it could be a counterfeit card. Install SD Insight to see if the card is genuine or counterfeit. Counterfeit cards are programmed to report more storage than they actually have, and if you try saving more than the card can actually hold, then files can start getting corrupt.
 
Not sure about that. If that other device runs a different Android version, maybe it's related to that. A counterfeit card can act unpredictably.
