32GB Sandisk Micro SD suddenly stopped being recognized by Galaxy S3 phone

Wow… I thought I was a one-off kind of person until I came across this thread. I also bought a SanDisk Ultra 32GB microsd card for my S3. Recently I too got the message that my SD card had been successfully removed…but my phone was sitting there in the case and all. Honestly I thought it was just a blip, a momentary loss of connection or something. I realized today that all of my data is gonzer. I tried to reseat the card, reboot the phone, even removed the battery, but all seems to be a lost cause. I plan on going home and giving the PC a go at it, but after reading this thread I am hesitant that the pc will have any additional success.

What’s sad is that only 1 in 10 unsatisfied customers ever voice a concern. Based on this statistic, this issue is not uncommon. =(
