Switch off the device, remove SD card, re insert, switch back on

Also Try This

Restart

Restart your phone to turn off all running applications and to free up memory. Remove the back cover. Press and hold down the OFF button using the tip of a pen or a similar object. The device turns off automatically. After the device is turned off, restart your phone.

I have same problem with my sandisk 16gb class 10
Then i Format the card with default file system and allocation size with a card reader and then insert into my xperia sp and again erase the memory in the phone, so yeah no problem till now
media transfer mode causing some file error i think its for my windows 8.1 preview ... no issues with mass storage mode though
again if you notice some corrupted file that hangs your windows explorer try to delete them by a card reader.
thanks.

[PS: This technic worked for me i can't assure you that you can solve yours thereby]

Two 16 Gb Kingston Class 10 SD cards died on me with my XPERIA SP.

Suddenly disconnetced, the SD cards were not any more detected, not in phone, not in a computer.

The retalier changed it, finally ended up with a sandisk 16 Gb Ultra. Till now no problem.

I do not know if it was my phone's or card's fault.

Can also be Kingston, cause I had another 8 Gbyte which died last year with the same symptoms in a different phone

I have observed that Sandisk gives pretty good performance.

1.format ur sd card using computer.
2.check sd card using Windows 7 or 8.. error checking option.... the option will be in properties...
3..sometimes antivirus in mobile like avast or similar applications can cause this problem.. so try uninstaling it...
4..if problem persists.. reset the phone
5..if problem persists.. go to sony service centre...

Hi there, sorry I must sound like a moron, but I'm just not good with smartphones above average usage - with "connecting the card with a pc" do you mean to insert the card into a slot in a pc or a card reader? As I do not have a slot on my laptop, I used a card reader, but that won't detect the card (does detect another micro SD though with lower storage). I have a 64 GB Kingston, and it does the same - more and more often.. it always works again after I take it out of the phone and restart the phone with the card in, but then after some hours it is again unexpectedly removed (so it says). I tried to right click with the card in the phone while the phone was connected to the laptop, but in properties I only have general info.. no possibility to check for problems (I use windows 10).

How can I get to this option please? A newer laptop is on the phone, and that one will have a card reader, do you think I shall wait and try that?

I can't even move songs and photos from the card back to the phone, it just says "Xperia M4 Aqua is busy" and it keeps working and working, and eventually stopps.. Would hate to lose the pics.. the songs I can just get back in as I have them on my laptop, but the pics are the one's taken with the Xperia.. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi Guy's, I have exactly the same problem, using the Sony Zperia M4 Aqua, the Micro SD Card Unexpectedly Removed. This caused me no end of problems, one of which was at Gatwick Airport Check-In, my Easyjet flight check-in details were all lost as they were saved on the SD card along with the Easyjet app. The 'unexpected removal' of the card caused the phone to restart itself with factory defaults, meaning I lost everything including all apps, contact details, Emails and pictures etc.

I've found the problem to be with the phone itself. There is a spring loaded latch inside the SD slot which is supposed to keep the SD card in place. In my case the latch is either broken, or damaged. I took the phone to the O2 Shop where I bought it from last November but they can't repair it on site but have offered to send it back to Sony for repairs. They said this could take up to two weeks, I told them that is not acceptable because I need the phone constantly for work etc. They couldn't (or wouldn't) offer any other solution so I am left with having to take the phone to a back street phone repair shop, which is not ideal and I will have to pay for the repair even though the phone is still under guarantee.

I beleive this issue is caused by a fault in the manufacturing process and in an ideal world Sony would recall all the phones for modification but that's not going to happen. Perhaps the next time I am due for an upgrade I will chose a different manufacturer, Samsung perhaps!

Good luck everyone.

I think you can't insert a sdcard, because you should know what type of memory card is supported to your mobile please check

I have same issue but I know why is happening. Due to I try to insert another format sdcard if u ask why there is not having in market that sdcard, my phone supports only 32gb sdxcmemory card,

These type of memory card are beginning from 64gb etc
