Hi I've searched the forum about this but cant really find any definitive answers.
Is it possible to run a 32GB SDHC card on the Uni or not?
Has anybody done this and currently using it and if so is there any drawbacks or restrictions etc?
What driver/Software is needed for it to be recognised is it the normal SDHC prog that comes with some cooked 6.1 roms or is it another?
This is the same card as the one i have ordered is it compatible?
Thnx for any help/Advice you can give
I have heard of 32GB cards running on a Uni. (I've only got 8GB, though)... but now you've ordered it, you'll be able to enlighten us whether it works I'm sure many people would be interested, and this is what xda-devs is all about, all chipping in a bit of info
Will be happy to post results, was just hoping somebody had already tested and had some info already, Searched forums but seems nobody has actually tried it out yet.
Will try it first oob then try the sdhc driver and see what happens.
I can confirm that you can use 32GB SD Card with Uni. I am using one from Silicon Power and you need to select appropriate Card type using 'SD Settings' program after inserting it. The program will ask you to reboot the device and once done, its business as usual.
Almost all 6.1 Roms recognised and I have not experienced any issues in using 16GB Card.
Hope this helps.
This is very usefull info!
Thanks,
Perfect
it would be an excelente notice, I already own one 16 gb running wm 6.1, and let me tell you that i have not room on it.
Pls let us know your comments
Saludos

Are you talking about a 16GB card or a 32Gb card, ??
I received my16Gb card today and spent some time getting stuff on it - movies, music, setup .CABs etc, seems to be performing fine, the only difficulty I experienced is the card not being recognised by my computer in USB mode, not sure why, had no problems accessing it through AS. Therefore it is taking me longer to transfer large files or folders over. Othere than that there seems to be no problems performance-wise. Would be interesting to know how the 32Gb performs.
Waiting for the result .... hope it works great..... please let us know.....
The card has now arrived and it was recognised straight away on setting 2 with the SD-Settings app. Im gunna transfer everything across and install some apps and test everything out etc and post back soon
Can anybody recommend any tests i can do to make sure everything is working normally etc, Im gunna do the benchmark test with pocket mechanic but is there any other progs that can test it?

Try SD Setting type-1.
It is faster than type-2.
Sorry for confusion, I do have it on type-1.
What i meant is that i have it on the second setting which is type-1, type-2 been third setting.
Havent got round to trying any software out on card yet as I'm trying to get my PC to recognise the card it just seems to not accept SDHC cards or 32gb ones anyway.
Ive copied all my data installers/docs etc from old card to PC and im trying to transfer using the "Disk Drive" setting in "USB to PC" but sometimes the uni reboots , will get there eventually.
Do you know of a fix for Vista/Win7 to be able to read 32GB SDHC cards?

Be careful if you get one from Hong Kong via ebay as mine had a autorun.inf on the card infected with a worm, My AV (ESET NOD32) got rid though.
Im also having alot of problems transferring data to the card, I get so much on then something will go wrong like the phone will reboot or lose connection and then the card inst accessible it just says it needs formatting.
I cant get XP or Win7 to see the card when its in my inbuilt reader, Ive order a cheap card reader that accepts various cards including 32Gb sdhc so hopefully i can get all my data on and properly test it out.
XP and High capacity SD cards
I have a 16G card, have no problems on the Uni it works great but I did have problems on XP on the inbuilt SD reader on my laptop. The following microsoft patch fixed the XP issues.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934428
Tried that but that hotfix is already installed into SP3, so fook knows whats up. Should have my reader by monday anyway.

I was having exactly the same problem last year with a 4gb card. Whatever I copied he was simply digesting without any notice.
Hello, after installed Locations from Programs in my DHD my sdcard died, not instant but after a while maybe 12 hours. I have 1.72.405 update.. It was new years night so i dont remember to much
But then it just started to say: "No sd card mounted" or something.
Then i tried to put it in another phone the card is dead there to.
Then in a computer using an adapter, no success there either.
So is my card 100% dead or is it any chance of getting my data back, i was stupid and didn't have backup, to late now but you learn of ur misstakes.
Sry for wall of text, this is Short version
sdcard died a few hours after installing locations
no device founds it
help....
Loads of problems with this at the moment, everyones SD cards seem to be slowly dying since the recent update. The SD card isn't recognised in any other phone/computer as you say so the likelyhood of getting anything off it is slim.
Someone here has apparently spoken to HTC about it who have confirmed there is an issue with the new update which affects the unmounting of the SD card. The only thing they recomend is sending it back to HTC who will flash the phone back to the previous version.
I spoke to HTC myself the other day and managed to get them to send me another SD card - might be worth doing that. A factory reset doesn't work by the way, complete waste of time.
HTC phone number for UK is 0845 8900079 or 01279 206906 (same line, just not premium rate).
Take a look at these threads for people with same problem...

So if i buy a new card and havent send my phone to htc for them to flash the phone to the update before 1.72.405 the new card will brake?
I did go to the place i bougt the phone and they did say that the warranty didnt cover attachments so if i want a new card i need to send the phone and the card to repair, and the company that handels repair for most big electronic stores in sweden is the worst in the world.
How fast is htc at downflashing the phone?
I live in sweden if it has anything to do with how fast they are..

I've just replaced the SD card myself and havent had any further problems, everything has been fine since. No one else seems to have had any further problems either after replacing the card. I wouldn't bother sending the phone to be repaired, as I'm pretty sure it's just the SD card corrupted by the recent update somehow, not the actual phone.
In short, just get a new SD card, off HTC if possible. The number for customer services can be found here... htc.com/uk/CA_Hotline.aspx

My card has just gone down as well for no apparent reason - the phone was working fine and then the card stopped being recognised - I hadn't done anything with it.
I'm running 1.72.405.3.
Is there any way to recover the data from the card?
I fitted a 32Gb card over Christmas and that died within hours of being fitted which I thought was down to a faulty card although now I'm wondering if it is down to the HTC update.
So I guess the key questions are:
1. Are HTC going to be releasing a fix for this?
2. I have a new 32Gb card on the way - what are the chances of preventing that from being killed?

No.
I did take some photos off via pc connection last night connecting to it as a disk drive, but that is it.
I also have some apps installed onto it, but wasn't using any of them when it failed - I just turned the phone on to check email and it was giving an SD error or Insert SD card message - can't remember which and am trying to dig through logs to find out.

Hi there.
I installed the update the same day I got the phone. The Samsung MicroSD provided died 10 days ago; with stock rom - non rooted etc.
Can I talk to someone to get a replacement?

Called HTC last day about my sd card, gave them all the details they wanted and they told me that they will send me further info about if and when the new sd card can be sent. Hopefully they will understand and send me a new one.. No message so far though...
i had that problem with my kingston 16gb class 10, when i flashed a custom sense rom (but it was older base 1.32.xxx.xx) the sdcard died on me after rebooted. tried everything i could do to bring it back. so i left it for about week an decided to try it again...and it worked!! so maybe leave it awhile and try it again.
Earlier today I got an error message saying that my micro SD card had been removed and I should unmount it first next time, but I hadn't actually removed it. After rebooting and re-inserting the card it still wouldn't recognize it until about the 3rd try. From there it worked fine for another 15 minutes before saying the card had been removed again. I got tired of fixing it so I let it be for a while... long story short it then went to an error message saying that the card was "empty" to now being completely unable to recognize it. I insert the card but there's no error at all; it just doesn't exist.
If I plug it into my laptop with a USB adapter, the card doesn't exist there either.
Did the phone just somehow destroy my micro SD card? I don't have another to test out and I can't restore stock from recovery because my backups were saved to the external card. -_-
Mine has destroyed 2 since Nov. Both were SanDisk. They are sending me a new one though, still sucks. If I had insurance, I would send this thing back.
The first was about 1.5 years old, so i just chocked that one up to being old, this one is two months old.

Damn, seriously? Mine is a SanDisk as well and only a few months old; how'd you get them to send a replacement?
I've rebooted a million times and my wifi is still constantly downloading and my 4G connection isn't. Really weird that this all happened at the same time.
I called the warranty department and explained the problem. I think they have a lifetime warranty. You have to send the old one first and then it's 7-10 business days to get the new one. They pay for shipping, so I did it.
Not sure if it's the phone doing it or not. It just happened, I was listening to music and it happened.

I was listening to music as well, but the files were on internal storage. The was right before I couldn't get the volume to work and had to reboot. I had also just taken a picture (which saves to micro SD) by using the shortcut on the lockscreen, then hit the back button and realized that Pocket Planes was still running. Maybe this screwed up the card; I don't know.
Here's a thread about it. No real answers but maybe there's something in there.

not my gs3, but my sammy note 10.1 just killed my 32gb one.......
Funny how I avoided the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 4 for the lack of external storage, and yet this phone just kills my micro SD card anyway.
If i were u id start to get worried...my 16gb blue S3 killed My Sd card right B4 dying Off on me.....went To The Service Store nd they said I Need A new mb.....since no Insurance I Ended Up Sellng That Crap For what Its Screen Is worth! The Phone Was On 4.1.2.......im Abt To Give Up On all Sammy Products As each One of Them Ends up With An Issue.....never Had them With Htc......i Guess thats What to Expect when they throw 100M handsets At People Per yr.....
I bought a new 32GB microSD card in late April. After googling this issue, it appeared as though most SD card failures were SanDisk, so I bought a Kingston 32GB card instead.
In less than 3 months of use, I randomly received an error message today that the SD card was unexpectedly "removed," even though I did not remove it. After rebooting and re-inserting the card, the phone does not detect it. Neither does my USB microSD card reader; the card is essentially destroyed.
5 months and two SD cards ruined. I don't want to bother paying ~$5 to return the defective card to Kingston and wait another month for a replacement. This phone is clearly defective and incapable of handling external storage for more than a few months before destroying it.
Thanks, Samsung!
No solving solution yet>?
I am really amazed !!! So many smart guys are here at XDA and nobody found solution to this problem yet? I cant believe Samsung did not find a solution to this yet..... they live this problem in fog.
Hundreds maybe thousands of people have this problem with their Micro SD cards all over the new are many forums with this commune problem. I have search and did not find a solution nowhere.
I got my S3 about 2 years ago.....I purchase at that time a Kingston 64gb, class 10 card for it. Worked for few months and started whenever I try to view pictures from it to unmounts by its self. I restart the phone and work for few minutes then again disappear. I format it with laptop in FAT32 ....work for few days and then die all the way that could not format with the laptop anymore. So I went and exchange it with a new one, again this one I did from start Fat32 so wont be problems.....again die on me this second brand name card. SOOOO?????
What is the solution? Anyone?
I intended to upgrade now to S4 black edition since I don't like anything about S5 but I read on internet that S4 may have same problem...so I think I will wait for LG G3 because it sound very promising compare to Samsung crappy phones and their slow reaction to solve a problem.
Samsung, is been 2 years already since you ignore this problem and you did not find a solution to this problem !!! Wake up !
No wander your stock go lower and lower every day.
Maybe someone should take this up on TV.
When I putt he SD into my phone (currently running Paranoid KANG droid 2.32) I actually get nothing more than an occasional "SD has been removed" message. However, when I put the card into my old OG droid (running Cyanogenmod 7) i get the "unsupported file system" error. This has happened before, and I just had to wait it out before the SD recovered on its own. It is not doing this now. (yes I am an idiot for still using it despite my 32 gigs of internal storage). I have a feeling it is formatted as RAW due to a formatting issue, but I can't get anything else (pc or other devices) to recognize the card, other than my OG droid. So what I want to know, is if there is a way to force mount the card, or give a PC control over the sdcard path and force mount it some way through the PC (effectively turning my phone into an external card reader, because traditional methods don't work). I need a workaround for this, because there are dozens of pictures of my family, puppies, and friends on it that I don't want to lose.
Back up the card of you can, it sounds like it's dying on you. This phone really s3ms to kill cards, I've already gone through 2 32gig cards.
I had a 32GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD card, and by chatting with Sandisk support, I am going to exchange my dead card for a working card. BTW, while you can, salvage the data you can, because it starts out like that, before becoming completely unusable.
I've went through two SanDisk. They are easy to work with, just get the ball rolling on the replacement.
Like the others said, get your data backed up as soon as you can.

Had 4 of these cards for a year now and not one hiccup. I'd say whatever is happening to them, its something you are doing to crap them, not the vendors. ALways backup your critical data, but if you treat these cards properly they will work and last as well as any.
No, you CAN use it on someone elses network, just not T-mobile as it doesn't do hdspa+ 1700, 1900... There's even a bounty out for that elsewhere on xda, to enable these bands, I believe it's currently at over $200.
And no, I'm not doing crap to the SD card. I've had it for over two years, used it on a different phone before that, never did anything different and it just died out of the blue. I'm not a noob, I would know if I had done something to it.
You would be pretty pissed off too if all your data was deleted, the phone you spent many many hours working to pay for did not work and when you ask for help someone blames you instead of helping. But I guess it's easier to blame than to help out right?
I get that part. However, don't get mad that it doesn't work fully for the network is wasn't designed for. That was my biggest part. I know there's a bounty. However, its been up for forever and nothing has come of it. I can't stand seeing people gripe about this phone because its not literally magic. Verizon's stuff is locked down, always has been, probably always will. Its a different radio/modem/antenna set than the tmo and at&t versions. It was meant to run on Verizon's network. Period.

Dear Friends,
Just switched from the HTC Mate 9 to the Sapphire Blue unlocked HTC U11 and am encountering the strangest issue. My Sony 64gb SD card, which is read perfectly fine with just about any other device I've tested on including my Mate 9 says SD Card is corrupted when I boot it with my HTC U11. Anyone else has ever seen this issue?
I've had my SD card for years! It's a Sony. Have used it on Note 3, 4, LG G3, G4, V10, V20, Axon 7, Mate 9, S6 Edge+, S7 Edge and many others and it's ALWAYS worked flawlessly... But why is it doing this only on my HTC U11?
Any help would be appreciated!
Die you try to format it with SD formatted an check again. Maybe there really is something that has been corrupted over the years and is popping up now.

We saw that issue on the HTC10 a lot, seems it started there.
Had the issue myself as well as a lof of others I know and there were also a lof of reports about in the htc threads.
Using SD Formatter and format it with the overwrite option worked for me temporaily.
Sometimes for just for weeks, then for a couple of months. No idea what brings the error back, if its a faulty SD, the phone, the combination of sdcard and windows.
...Oh now that I list all those, TWRP could be the issue @nkk71
Maybe @Sneakyghost has some more ideas.

Not sure you saw that one internal beta changelog from HTC, @j to the 4n - early U11 changelog. They "fixed" unmounting issues there.
That was a major clue actually. I was very happy to see that. It tells us it's not remotely related to the sdcards we use. It's entirely up to HTC to get their drivers and software set up properly.
Not much we can do.
Try running a chkdsk on the card using a card reader

Oh no, didn't know about that, that's great news. Thought my sdcard is damaged, bought a new one and threw my 128GB one away

Try running a chkdsk on the card using a card reader

Have a friend who had the constant unmounts/mounts on the 10, not sure if/how he eventually fixed it, though he did drop his phone several times over, so couldn't rule out a hardware issue either.
But the corrupted sdcard notification sounds similar to what I sometimes see (including me) in MultiROM, eg:

Someone from the team posted that change log a little while ago - was gone again quickly but that one thing about the unmounts caught my attention. I think we would need more info to know for sure that HTC was trying to address that issue. But I'm a bit more cautious now with assuming my card was damaged...

My friend has a completely untouched (ie never unlocked/modded/etc) 10, he *all of a sudden* started getting those random unmounted/mounted notifications, nothing was changed (except the few drops a couple of weeks earlier )
He also saw the OTA update that said something like *Fixed sdcard unmount issues*, ... yay yay :laugh: yay :good:
...2 days later: :crying: (yeah still same issue)
Never happened while I was around, so can't really provide any insight, but for sure, one of the OTAs had that comment specifically there, and considering HTC's excellent track record for "descriptive changelogs"
it must have been there for a reason, even if it didn't fix the issue

I've had my card unmounts a couple times already on the U11, but no corruption errors, just the unmounts warning and then it goes back to normal, I have to re do my ringtones and such after though.

I'm just trying to differentiate between the "Corrupt sdcard" notification and the "Unmounted/mounted" notifications, sometimes we may think both are the same, but they're not,
The "Corrupt sdcard" could be triggered by any number of reasons, including a corrupt sdcard, or a sdcard marked as dirty (and I don't have the expertise to say why, but let me just say the *driver in charge* considers it corrupt, true or false is another thing)
Unmount/mount would look to me as if the card is really being physically no longer seen by the OS (whether that's a hardware or software fault, I can't say), that could eventually lead to the above.
But still 2 distinct scenarios

The constant unexpected unmounts cause the cards to go corrupt. That's how I see it.

Eventually, yes, I couldn't agree more.
Have a card constantly unmounting during a write operation, and eventually you'll loose some files, possibly the whole card, it may even be very faulty card, I've had 2 128GB straight out of the box and just bad, you can try to wipe them, nuke them any which way you like, if block 0 (from my perspective) is hit, say bye bye to it.
As I mentioned, I'm just pointing out 2 different problems (which may eventually become 1), the corrupt sd card vs the constant unmounts.
Neither is good for sure unfortunately, but they are still 2 different issues, imho.
Friends,
Very nice to see you all respond and share your experiences and thoughts. I agree with the one poster, this is the Corrupt SD card issue and not unmounting.
While I appreciate all the advice around formatting my card... I feel unsettled about that proposition, especially since every other phone and computer is reading it fine... What's this about? ?
Really disappointing experience from HTC, I was excited to return to them after the Rezound days... But this is a highly basic and disappointing issue ?...

Dear Friends,
Just switched from the HTC Mate 9 to the Sapphire Blue unlocked HTC U11 and am encountering the strangest issue. My Sony 64gb SD card, which is read perfectly fine with just about any other device I've tested on including my Mate 9 says SD Card is corrupted when I boot it with my HTC U11. Anyone else has ever seen this issue?
I've had my SD card for years! It's a Sony. Have used it on Note 3, 4, LG G3, G4, V10, V20, Axon 7, Mate 9, S6 Edge+, S7 Edge and many others and it's ALWAYS worked flawlessly... But why is it doing this only on my HTC U11?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello
I had the same problem, I could solved :
1. Retire the microsdxc from your phone and backup in your pc
2. Re insert the card in the phone, when the phone shows " SD corrupted" allow to format IN THE PHONE
3. Then go to " storage" and do a safe eject
4. Again, transfer the files from your pc to the microsd
5. Power off your phone, place the microsd and them power on
Since these day i don´t have more problems with the micro sdxc card
I hope that works for you
Cheers
I had an odd issue. When I got my U11 I put my not so old SanDisk 64gb card in it with no problem. A few days later I purchased a new card and transfered all my stuff over to it. I wanted to change notification sound but when I went to select the new sound my phone went looking for my old card (id 56xxx) with a message something like can't find blah, blah, blah. My new card ID starts with ID 3xxxxxx. Unmount, format anything I tried didn't work. I finally RUU'd back to stock (I was rooted) and all is well. Strange....

That's normal. Sdcard gets a unique number-letter ID assigned by Android. It is created new for every sdcard and it is created new after each Rom flash or RUU (not: dirty flash). Apps set to look in one card will complain when you change to another. Or clean flash and then restore apps with TiBu for instance.
Guys appreciate the responses. But we all agree that there is no way to fix this issue without either formatting your card which is being read right by every other device or apparently RUU ing to stock?

SD formatter V4 from sd association fixes that for me, until it comes back. No card ever works without that. Tried about 5 totally different cards so far.
