Hi all!

Need some help from you guys. Lately for the past 2 months or so, my phone keep on saying external memory card error and then the notification will be gone after say 10-15 minutes and I can access my microsd card files like normal through gallery and music player where I store my pics and songs. This goes on randomly throughout the day.

At first I thought it was the microsd card failing (sandisk 32gb) so I backed up my files right away. But it has been going on and off for the past 2 months which also results in a faster battery drain. I have removed it almost a week ago and yesterday I tried it again and the same symptoms persisted.

Question is, is it the memory card itself that is failing, or the phone external memory card reader? Any way to diagnose whether its the phone's problem or the card problem?
When the notification does pop up saying my card has an error, I can still browse through my files using the My Files app and open up any songs/pics/pdfs etc.

So far every single time I connect it to my mac through Airdroid or usb, its been able to read my files on the external card just fine. Its just that the phone seems to have difficulties reading the card at random times. I initially thought it was the card failing. But now Im considering the reader in the phone itself is faulty. I cant verify it further since I dont have a usb card reader for my laptop and I have no access to a sd card adapter.

Sometimes the phone would say that the card is ejected, and after a few minutes its back to normal again. Sometimes it says no memory card inserted. And sometimes it says memory card error and that it needs to be formatted.
