8Gb Micro SD Issues

Hello all, I recently upgraded to the ATT Fuze and then installed an AData 8 Gb MicroSD card. The issue is sometimes the phone will not detect the files in the card. So if I restart my phone everything works fine and the phone sees all files in the SD card with 80 mb used. If I restart again the phone takes a long time to view memory of the storage card and then shows nearly the entire 8 gb used. File explorer show the folders but none of the files in the SD card.
If I remove the MIcro sd card and plug it directly into my laptop then it shows the actual space use and al the files correctly.
Anyone see this issue or how to resolve it. I have already replaced the phone once. SD card works perfectly when used in a laptop.
IS THIS A PROLEMWITH THE PHONE OR THE SD card.
Please help

Why don't you try re-formatting the memory card?

If you've replaced the phone and you're still having the problem, I'd say it's the card.
I use a SanDisk 16GB MicroSD in my Fuze and have never had any problems with it.

I have reformatted the card multiple times using both vista and Xp and still the same results. The card works just fine on my laptop. When I put the card in my phone it does not detect the card till I soft reset the phone. After it comes up, the phone will see the card but show space used as the entire 8 gb even if the card is empty.
I have ordered a new Kingston 8 gb card. Hopefully that will work

Sometimes there are compatibility issues with certain cards. I use a Sandisk 8gb card and it works well. TP reads and writes quickly to it. Try this other card you ordered then adise results here. Good luck.

HTC recommends Sandisk.
I use sandisk 8 Gb Micro SHDC Mobile Ultra with the Tyynt sdtune up cab!
Suggestion
Format the card sell it and buy a real sandisk ;-)

Yea! will try the Kingston. What is the sdtune up cab file. I could not find such a file.

I too
Hi, i have the same issue with same A-DATA SDHC 8GB Class 6. On PC everything is ok, but when i put it in TP (no branded) PDA didn't recognize it. I reformat it 10+ times, same. I make some experiments and realize that when on the card i have to 2GB files work fine, but when i exceed that limit the card stops to mount in file system of TP. I fill the card to max with some stuffs and place an image file, then try to flash the phone with it, the strane is that the phone is flashing ok, but after flash and hard reset the card didn't mount at all. If i change the image file i can flash again, but in file system i haven't card. Very strange. I use few roms ot NRZ28. Do you think that the problem is in any dll in rom or the problem is in card. Becouse bootloader see and use card, but the system didn't.
p.s. Sorry for bad english.

My Kingston SD card works. The only difference I can see between the two is that the AData is a class 6 while the Kingston is a class 4.
maybe the Fuze has an issue with class 6 cards?

I am using the ADATA 8G MicroSDHC memory card without any problem for my HTC Fuze. This is a Class 6 card from Newegg.

Yea, I had bought the exact same one! Dunno why it didnt work for me!

i am using an 8GB Adata microSDHC card from Newegg.com and my HTC Fuze will NOT see it. I have tried everything I know (very computer knowledgeable). Checked the reg settings, etc. but it will not ever see the card even after reformats and reboots. The card works fine in laptop and other devices, but not my HTC Fuze... ???????

I had big probs with my 8 gb sandisk: Files and folders were lost after a time... i formatted with a lot of utilities, nothing helped now i use kingston without any probs on my TP ...

I purchased DSE 8Gb card, like you could see it, reformat it & everything worked a treat on the PC, but when putting into the TP it was a very different story!
Sometimes it would see it, sometimes not, very hit & miss affair without any reliably repeatable circumstances, so took it back, tried another one - same issue, then sucked it up and went to purchase a Kingston one (5 bucks cheaper)... it worked first time and haven't had (touch wood) a problem yet!

Mariobg, I am in the same situation you are. I am using NRG Energy Rom 2.0 4/14/09. I am having the same problems with my A-DATA micro SDHC 8GB Class 6. I also own a SanDisk 512 MB micro SD card that works no problem. I will try flashing to a different ROM to see if that fixes it. Did you ever solve the problem.

Adata issues on rapahel
Hi there , i have the same problem with this &*^&*%$ Adata card on my raphael.
Rom : Elite rc3
Tried Hard Reset
Tried Soft Reset
formatted it untill it was smoking.
Learned one thing with this....first read...then buy.

Well I tried several different ROMs and still no success. i ended up trying the memory card in my friends HTC Fuze, and it did not work either. He had a 4 GB micro SDHC A-data card that works great. So I tried his card in my phone, and it also worked great. So, it appears that the 8 GB A-data card is defective. I am going to RMA it tomorrow.

But, unfortunately, it did not solve my problem.

I have a Class 4 Kingston 8GB MicroSD that was in NTFS format. My HTC Fuze couldn't see it until I format it in FAT32. Works now .

[Q] SD card problems

Hello everyone.
I have this strange things going on with my microSD card.
Recentely i bought 32 GB card for my nexus one (using cyanogen mod 7)
When i use that card on my pc i can write all the files at 5 MB/s speed. Then i put it inside my phone and it doesn't mount. After few tries like 4 or 5 it mounts but after that some files are gone from sd card. Allways leaving like 30 GB of empty space. So if i write more it will delete some so it would be 30 GB. Then it mounts normally.
Ok now more then half of you will say that this is fake card or smth. But i downloaded H2testw program and checked my card. Everything is fine with it. The program wrote 32 GB of data and verified everything. Its just problems with phone reading SD card. Anyone can help me ?

Hmm........

So noone has any ideas ?

Check your phone for firmware updates that might raise it to the 32 gb ceiling. Maybe there is a Cyanogen 7 update that will take care of this for you. Also does your phone support SDHC cards?

SD Card Not reading correctly
If you haven't done so, you might want to check the specs of your device to ensure that it will accept 32GB. Some devices top out at 8 and 16GB respectively.

That, and I would upgrade to the latest nightly of CM7.

It is probably not "32gb" "Genuine" memory card.
I've purchased the memory card couple months back and
It says "16gb" when I put musics/videos in the memory card, it was unreadable and unplayable. I think it had actual memory of "2gb", so yes, I've been scammed by Chinese people =P.
I recommend you to check your actual memory by using this program
"H2testw"

Sandisk 64gb Microsdxc Card

I was given one of these cards as a gift and the first one shipped failed to format but the replacement came in today and works great in my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. Just thought someone may want to know. The formatted storage space is 59.4gb.

ZOMG. 64gb works with the GTab+? that's legit! how much did you pay for it?

It was a gift but Amazon had it for $149.00 at the time.

You are so lucky! If it were about 75 bucks I would actually consider getting of of these...

I'm planning to buy this card,so i want to know its actually transfer speed. Can you test it on PC using the software Atto Disk Benchmark ?

Since they started doing this "internal" and "external" memory card with our devices, I'm not too worried about swapping the sd card in and out anymore as it doesn't affect the way the device works as much as it used to.
I have a 32GB card each for my tablet and phone that pretty much stay there all the time. What i did instead for extra capacity was collect all the old 16GB cards and store them in this sd-card holder that fits perfectly in this black aluminum business card holder. I bought the sd-card organizer and business card holder from ebay.
That's 11 (one in the microSD to SD adapter) 16GB cards for 176GB total. I mainly use this system to backup and transfer pictures from my bigger SD cards when I'm out shooting photos (using the 30-Pin to SD adapter).

What did you use to format the card? i put this in my G Tab+ and when i click mount sd, it gives me an error icon in the notification area. when i tap that and click format, it says it is blank or has an unsupported file system. Any help would be appreciated
*Edit* - I've been having trouble finding a utility I trust to format the card as FAT32. On my windows 7 64 bit machine, the native right click format menu doesnt even give me the option of doing FAT32, just exFAT or NTFS (both useless for the application I need). Even the official SD Formatter tool didnt give any choice in the filesystem to format to.
After seeing this article, I decided as a last ditch effort to use my Vibrant to see if i could get it to format as FAT32 since the article mentioned it working in the Galaxy S. This worked and i now have 59.4GB free to exploit on my G Tab+ (However, I did have to use the file write permissions fix to get things to copy between internal and external memory within Astro). Just wanted to post for others that were having trouble finding a way to format this card as FAT32. My assumption is any of those confirmed devices will format it.

Micro SD card problems

I believe my micro sd card is trashed but I was looking for suggestions on a way to recover it if possible. It is a 64gb Sandisk Ultra Micro sd. I first noticed it as a problem while running CromiX 5.4 rom2sd, every few weeks it would lock up eventually needing to restore a nandroid or totally reflashing. I suspected the card was the problem and have reverted to running internally without any problems for months. I have deleted the partition and recreated multiple times with GParted. Gparted can see the complete card but when I look at it in a windows environment it only sees 27gb. The options to delete volume in the windows environment, disk management tool, are grayed out and formatting accomplishes nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions before I toss it out?

i had same problem i bought sandisk xtreme 64 gb micro sd and locked it self with couple files. i tried everything as a programmer and warezzer but nothing just locked returned to seller and thet give me new one than same problem again returned again for cash this time. Now im using 32 gb lexar on my xperia z1 and 16gb lexar on my tf700 no problem at the momment i searched web about locked sandisk microsds couple thousand microsds broken i assume. so sandisk best but not this 64gbs microsds one . i believe ...sorry for bad english...

sounds weird, I know, but having had all sorts of weird experiences with SD cards and Micro SD cards sanDisk cards included, just wondered, how are you connecting it to your PC?
The reason I ask is that on a fairly new machine running Win7.1 I have found that if i insert the microSD into a USB adaptor it cannot read it or at best can only format to 32gig, but if the card is put into the holder that came with it my machine can see it and format it to its full size

Agreed, I also have a sandisk ultra 64gb microsd card and in order to format it correctly you have to use adapter/card reader that is sdxc compatible. It usually says on the card reader what it is compatible with. If you dont your sdxc card will show as having less storage space

SD card problems

Did a few Google play store app updates this afternoon. Then decided to restart the phone. The phone no longer recognizes my SD card. Any suggestions?
Never seen a device do this. Tried other micro SD cards I have and the phone recognizes them fine. Tried my 64GB card in the computer and it sees all the data on the card. Stumped on this?
I notice my other SD cards are formatted as FAT32 and my newest 64 GB card is an exFAT format, but it's read it fine up to today?

Have u tried formating it to fat32.
Did the problem go away?

Wouldn't format to fat32. I ended up moving all my data (files, videos, photos, app data, etc.) Over to my computer, then I reformatted the SD card and moved all my data back. Phone reads all the data fine now, but I had to reload all my apps that I had running of the SD card. What a PITA!

I had this problem with a couple of sandisk 64gb microsd's while I was out of town....the only solution I found was finally to use an adata one...and I'm now using a samsung 128gb. I tried formatting it on a linux pc and the phone...it did not like the sandisk's and would eventually lose them. I did have some success in only formatting the 64gb sandisks to 32gb but I may not have waited long enough for it to get corrupted as my adata one was available once I returned home.

I'm starting to have what may develop into the same problem with the Sandisk 64 gb sd card in my camera (not a phone) -- so maybe Sandisk is having some reliability problems?

It was very frustrating for me as the whole point of purchasing sandisk was based on their reliability. I was concerned about the samsung 128gb I picked up for $69.99 but it's worked like a champ and has fast read/write speeds.

Trouble with Samsung EVO 64GB sd card
My Samsung EVO 64GB only partially works with my 6045i. It shows as mounted but struggles to unmount. Takes 2 tries. When I try to have a 3rd party app use it for storage it doesn't show available even with show SD card enabled and use Android 5 Storage Application Framework (see the attached screenshot).
I grabbed two other microSD cards, one Sandisk and one Patriot (Class 4), both 32GB. Both worked flawlessly in my Idol 3.
So now my son's Galaxy S3 is using the 64GB Samsung card (he's running CyanideL) and it appears to operate correctly.
I'm ok with using a 32GB for now, but what other cards are folks using for either 64 or 128GB external storage?

I also own same Samsung 64 gb microsd card. However, i can get access from 3rd party apps, but suffer from random cuts while playing music, seems media app issue.
Problem was firmware not microSD issue.

I have both a Sandisk and Samsung 64gb and they both have had the same problem that every once and while the phone will reboot by itself and when it come back up I cannot access SD card. I have taken it out and I can see all the apps, music and videos are still there on my computer but in the phone nothing. I have to save, reformat and re-download apps.

Anyone have a 128GB card fully working?
So the 64gb Samsung EVO died in my son's S3, so I gave him the 32gb one that I was using and sprung for a 128gb SiliconPower card, rated at up to 75MBps.
I can get the stock camera to save photos to it but when I try Open Camera, it isn't seen. I have storage access framework enabled in OC. I get the attached screenshot. Note that I do have "show sd card" selected. I can toggle it on/off with no visible change.
Its not just Open Camera either. Another app, Solid Explorer, has the same issue if I try move any photo files through it, it asks me to grant permission, shows the same window as attached, and then can't complete because the OS isn't showing it as available.
Any thoughts? Is this a bug in 5.0.2?
thanks,
