I suspect the phone is hot n class 10 micro sd is also hot. So it could be heat problem.

If I recall correctly, my S3 lte SD Card problem popped up after the latest FW update to 4.1.2. Although there were many discussions over the internet that Sandisk is the culprit, the problem could also be caused by the FW upgrade.

So, may be we can put some details here to have a better understanding of the issue. I start first:

Model: S3 LTE
FW: 4.1.2
Card: Sandisk 32GB Class 10
Time SD Card used: 6 months

The class 10 Sandisk 64GB microSD cards are known to be unreliable. I can vouch for it as I went through 3 dead cards from June-Sep 2012 before getting one that is working fine till today. All the cards died in card readers, 2 while being formatted, 1 while copying files.

My S3 has gone through multiple firmware updates and is at the latest MB5 now. The 4th card working fine in it since Sep 2012.

I've been using the SD card without any issue, until recently after updating firmware to 4.1.2 from 4.1.1. I believe it's caused by Samsung's fw, since I don't have problem with a 64GB CLASS 10 on my tablet.

Model: S3 I9300
Card: SanDisk 32GB CLASS 10
Time SD card used: 3 months

My S3 + Sandisk Class 10 64GB was working fine for 6+ months, then all of a sudden the phone died in January, and they replaced the motherboard. When it was fixed, I was told that it could be due to the 64GB card I was using...
And to add insult to the injury, the new motherboard reported that my SD card was corrupted, and had to be formatted...

Anyway, other than 2 cracked screens, the new motherboard and 64GB card have been working fine for the past 2+ months (fingers crossed)

Got this problem too but is with Kingston card.
I can still see the data inside the card but unable to open the file.

I fried my first Sandisk Ultra 32Gb with S3 and got it RMA.

The new one I got is currently working but seems like it's on the way to being fried again..

I gonna get Samsung sd card is the second one get fried..

 

[xgwei]

my wife's s3 also destroyed my sandisk 32GB sd card... in all my life using sd card, this is the first time i encounter such problem. i mean a portable hard disk is easier to spoil than a sd card right... wtf is samsung doing...

anyway how to rma the faulty sd card? i lost the recepit n wrapping for the card... thanks

I've used a 64gb card since it first appeared and changed to a class 10 version in November 2012, they haven't displayed any issue at all. I've used 64gb micro sd with note, s3 and note2
