I had this issue after one of my refurbished replacements. I was given a few suggestions.

1. Take the card out and use a reader to see if your computer will read it OK. If it reads fine then that is a good sign for the card.

2. Back up everything on the card on your computer. Format the card with the computer (this will erase everything), and then drag everything back on the card.

3. Insert the card back in your phone and pull the battery, then reboot the phone.

If the card works fine, the issue is solved. If the issue comes back, it's the phone, go to your carrier or call them and get them to order a replacement under warranty.

I did all the above and found my card was good and the phone was bad.

Good luck!

I may be wrong but I thought it was better to format the card in the phone.
In either case, if you do format on the computer you certainly have to know the correct format to use.

You're probably right. That's just what the person told me when I had a similar issue. I would format it in the phone.

What brand card are you using?
I read that some users including myself that are using Sandisk cards were having the same issue. I used the card (different brand) from my tablet and the issue went away. I contacted Sandisk and returned my card for warranty. I haven't had the issue since with the new card
