missing micro sd card after JB update

[Daloch]

Well,

As it happened...

I updated to JB last night, and all the sudden, my 32Gb Sandisk Ultra microSD is toasted...

The phone says there is no SD card installed.

The computer says there is no SD card when I connect the card (so I cannot format or get the information I had there)

I tried to reinstall JB, fixed nothing.

I quit the Sd Cad and put it back  to the phone, fixed nothing.

I reboot the phone with  power + sound, fixed nothing.

It never had any trouble before, and after this update, looks like the phone totally toasted the card.

So... any idea about what can I do?...

I assume that thanks to the phone, I will have to spend buying a new one, but at least I'd like to get the information I had there.

Thx

Plenty more complaints but no solution from Sony.

You were lucky miffy

I tried several times to format the card in 4 different computers, and there was no way to do it.

The most amazing was that 3 of those computes would't even recognize the card and the other one one said that the card size was only 30Mb (not 32Gb), and was totally empty.

There's enough people complaining about this problem, enough to get some fix from Sony.

To say that there's no explanation about this will fix nothing and the costumers will have to keep spending money in new cards.

THIS IS NOT normal... this is a very expensive phone and is FULL of bugs not fixed yet.

They know there's a problem, but wont admit it.

They must think people make up issues, and give bogus feedback for the sake of it.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone finds horsemeat in one of their phones soon.

I'm sorry miffy you must have missed the post where I requested info from you guys to escalate this further on for investigation.

[miffy]

Yes sorry I did miss it.

Where is it please ?

I can only find where it's suggested to try more cards, contact support or use SUS.

There is obviously a problem with the phone, would you agree?

Same issue here. After the last update in february (android 4.0.4 over here) my sd card started to be unmounted all the time. My card is toasted now. I was smart enough to move all content to the phone's internal memory at the first signs of trouble so I did not loose any pics or vids.

In my case it's a 32GB class4 microSDHC. Sorry Johan, I think it's not related to class.

Seems lik eSamsung is having the same issues. LG is not...

Exact same problem, mine happened after the JB update, I was trying to add music via Media Go (Using the USB cable), next minute all my music and pictures were gone, and the SD card wouldnt even show on my laptop. After several attempts it finally came up, but only showed 30mb not 32gb, and requied me to format, which when I tried I encountered an error every time. Looks like it's completely dead.

Also my Xperia T is randomly restarting, or crashing and requiring me to do a hard reset, really starting to annoy me. Anyone else noticed this?

Only recently joined Android from iPhone, and was going to upgrade to the Xperia Z, but looks like I may have to go back to Apple as I never had a problem since the iPhone 3GS

My PNY 32GB Class 10 card is still working fine. No errors so far. (Bought after the JB update)

Good for you!.

As you can see there are lots that are getting them destroyed by the phone.

It just seems that Sandisk ultra 32gb cards are very common to this problem. Is it the version with UHS-I? Then there could be a good reason for it begin dead now. Just wanting to help!
