First of all, I am very aware this has been asked many times and will be asked many times after this. I have read MANY threads both here and elsewhere and have never seen a definitive answer (which may not exist)...
My phone has started telling me about once per day that my exernal sd card may be damaged and unmounting it. If I reboot, it works fine until the next time it decides to tell me that again. I have checked it several times with Check Disk on Windows and it never finds any problems. I am currently using a SanDisk 64GB class 10 card purchased off Amazon. Yesterday, I copied everything off the card, completely formatted it (not the quick format and in the required Fat32 format) using the GUI version of Fat32format and copied everything back to the card. Both before and after formatting, Check Disk found no issues. Today, I received a notification that my SD card had unexpectedly been removed (it had not). A few seconds later I received notification that my SD card may be damaged and may need to be formatted. How in the hell Android can tell me that a SD card is corrupt after it already told me that it was no longer in my phone is a mystery to me...
This is the second time I started experiencing this issue. The first time was with a 32GB class 4 SanDisk card that I think WAS becoming corrupt because Check Disk would find issues with that card, so I ended up replacing it with the card I am using now (less than 2 months ago). So... is my card failing? Or is there any reason that Android would report an SD card damaged when it is not?
I would really prefer if the card was failing, because then I would at least know how to fix the issue (get a new card). However, I am not willing to get a new sd card every couple months just because Android has sd card issues. The only recent (major) changes I have made to my phone before this issue started up again was installing the V6 SuperCharger script and changing from Busybox v1.20.0 to Busybox v1.20.2. I am likely going to remove those and see if this clears up, but is there a reason that Android would be falsely reporting a sd card as damaged or is it a sure sign of a failing card?
