SD Card keeps becoming corrupt after restart.

Have SD Card formatted to be internal storage, containing mostly all of my Spotify offline music. The first 2 or 3 times the battery completely died, it became corrupt each time. Then I went a few weeks without shutting it off or letting it die until today. It was being really slow so I rebooted it and..... it corrupted the SD card.

I have emailed CAT about this and several other issues. Still no solutions. The novelty of the S60 and the FLIR is starting to wear out... this is getting quite annoying.
 
Does Spotify have the option to store music files on SD card?

If yes you don't need to format the SD card as internal storage.

If it does, I don't know how to set it. Either way, my SD card shouldn't be corrupted.

Right, it shouldn't be corrupted. So it sounds like either an issue with the CAT on how it handles them as adopted internal storage, buggy firmware possibly, or the micro-SD itself has a problem. Sure it's not a duff or counterfeit. Where did you buy it? Suggest you check it with SD Insight. If it states the manufacturer is UNKNOWN, that's a fake one.

I have the same issue ,, corrupt SD-card , have read that is was formatted as portable ( internal memory of the phone ), so its encrypted to the phone key . Since I had to take it out and install a second sim card, now the SD-card is corrupt.I have read that it now is corrupt, since the encryption key has changed.. is there a way to re-sync the encryption keys??? or at least recover the photos on it... as i can see them in google photos, but can't do anything with them..

If the phone's key as changed. Think you might be SOL, as the SD is very strongly AES256(invented by Uncle Sam) encrypted. Unless you got a supercomputer and something like 100,000 years to spare, to try and brute-force attack it. Basically an SD formatted and encrypted for use as "internal", is not meant to be removed from the phone, because it can't be read by anything else.

If your photos are synced with Google Photos, trying logging in with a computer using a browser. Maybe able to retrieve and download them that way. https://photos.google.com/
