Error message on my smartphone about my SD card. Happens a lot.

[Anonymous]

My old LG smartphone did this all the time but it was kind of a crummy phone so I didn't think much of it. Had to get a new card twice (and lost pictures and videos. [Started saving them to computer more often so as not to lose them anymore.] Then got a new Droid last month and having the same problem again. Sometimes if I turn off the phone and restart the error goes away. But this is strange and my husband has 2 cell phones and this never happens to him, or anyone else I’ve mentioned it to. Thoughts? Thanks!

What's the actual error message?

"Damaged SD card" and it wants me to reformat. I'll lose my Halloween pics that I haven't downloaded yet.

Can you email or text the Halloween pics? Back up your phone data on your computer?

Mine did this and it was corrupted. $10 card later and it was good. I backed up the phone on my laptop before changing them out, so didn't lose anything.

I went through multiple Droid Rezound models with this error. It was forcing encryption of the SD card for some reason. I did have the phone configured to pull my mail via exchange but our server policies did not require SD card encryption. I said fine, encrypted the card, then promptly forgot the password, especially since my mail policy did require a password for my phone. At the store, they tried my card in another phone, error. They tried another card in my phone, error. Gave me a new phone. A month later, happened again. I just made them give me another brand of phone for fear that an HTC would do the same thing, although my Incredible never had that problem, and I haven't had a problem with my Razr MAXX.
