Hey guys, I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 and I just got a SanDisk 64Gb class 10 micro sd card for it. I have the same cars for my S4 and it works fine. However when I insert the new card into my note it says "checking sd card" and then will immediately say "safe to remove sd card". I can write and format the card in my computer and when I format it to NTSF (which I know android won't read) I get it to tell me that I need to format the sd card which I do and it works fine. Then once format is compete it does the same problem.
I put the new card into my S4 and it mounted fine. Now before you tell me it's a problem with my Note 10.1 read this:
I have a 8Gb SanDisk microSD that works just fine. Also when I put the 64Gb card in and boot to TWRP recovery I can mount and write to the card just fine.
I am running Hyper Drive rtl3 and I had the problem. So I wiped and updated to hyper drive rtl4 and the problem still exists.
I'm really baffled by this problem. Any ideas guys?
Also after I post this I plan to take the 64gb card that is in my S4 and trying it in my note. I'll post back what happens.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Alright so the Sd card from my phone which works in my phone did the same thing in my note. Could it be the ROM I am using. Is this a problem that's known in Hyperdrive? Again running the most current 4.0.0.0 version.

FAT32 or EXFAT?
Read post 209 and 210 from the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294477&highlight=sd+card+issues+issues&page=21
The attached file can format your Sandisk 64gb chip to fat32 if you need to. I used it to format my Sandisk 64GB 2 days ago.
If you need more help let us know.
.
Your ROM won't recognize a 64gb card. I went back to stock so that I could use mine. Lots of info on here about this.

Formatting to FAT32 worked perfectly thanks.
And yes this rom does support 64bit cards.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Sadly, formatting my Samsung 64GB UHC to FAT 32 from eFAT didn't help. As before, when I slip the card into the slot for a microsecond the "Mount SD Card" appears then greys out and in the tastbar appears "Preparing SD card checking for errors" and this message stays there for eternity or until I either take the card out or reboot.
Cmcole101 mine dose the same thing did you ever end up fixing it?

I bought a new 32 gig sd card, I copied the filed on my existing card to a folder on my computer then transferred it to my 32 gig sd card. When I try flashing a rom from my new card it doesn't go thru, if I try flash it from my old sd it go thru fine.
What is happening or what am I doing wrong ?

Its a Sandisk 32 gb SD card. I bought it online cant remember exactly where right now.
What file format did you use to format it?
Not sure I used the formatter in the link above. Is there a specific format and formatter I need to use?

Yeah, I'd like to know as well... I have an 8g card and I did a 512 ext and the rest Fat32... do I need to set the ext partition to ext3 or will that happen automatically depending on the rom...

Okay guys I need to figure this out so here goes again:
I just bought a 32gb scan disk SD card to replace a 8gb I had. When I try flashing a ROM or rebooting in recovery with the 32gb card in the phone it gets stuck on that black screen with the android logo and the triangle. If I use my 8 gb card everything proceeds smoothly. I have formatted it but I get the same result.
Can any one tell me how to fix this problem?
Do you have a card reader on your computer? I had a similar issue when I was using the "quick format" option in windows. Once I did the longer version it worked fine.

Rooted on beans R2. I have formatted my micro Sd card via PC with fat32. put the sd card in and everything seems fine untill I reboot phone. after reboot phone it comes up damaged SD card or empty files, plese format card.
this happens everytime I reboot my phone.
Any ideas??
Nothing!?? come on guys. I need your help here
I thought I read some where you're never supposed to format your SD card with your computer, it should only be through your phone.

maybe give some details about your Sdcard.
i have had some hit & misses with the lower quality SD cards available from like Microcenter or Fry's in those bulk clear cases...
also why not just boot into recovery & format the card from there & see if that works?
Its a lexar 10 class 32 gig. I didn't know you could format an SD card from recovery.
If you could give me an idea on some steps to take that would be very helpful and appreciated

One of those "believe it or not" things: the SDXC (SD eXtended Capacity = 64GB or more) specification says that the default (factory) format is exFAT. The GS3 recognizes both exFAT and FAT32, but some ROMS do not support exFAT due to Microsoft's funky licensing.

You don't need to partition it. You need to format it to Fat32 as was mentioned.
I am now on my 3rd 64GB MicroSD, the same one in OP.
It works when I get it, but it preformatted as exFat, which wont work with ROM.
The first 2 SDs I used EaseUS Partition to format as Fat32. Format went fine, but when I went to place files on card, card unmounted. This last one I used Ridgecorp’s Fat32Format, but same problem.
When I insert card, Win7 sees it, but if I go to format/write it disconnects.
Before I send this third one back to amazon, any ideas how to format it?
FYI, I took the last one to a frien with a mac to see if he could fix it, after i tried to format Fat32, but no luck.

Yea, I believe that's the same card I have(had for working on 3 1/2 months now) and I used the Ridgecorp GUI utility in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735 to format it as soon as I got it.
I've loaded it with music and continue to play said music all the time, use my ext for all my ROM downloading and storage. I access it all the time thru the phone and computer with no problems attributed to the card. (Some ROMs screw with my computer seeing my phone period)
Surprise! TW UI Did the trick!
S'up Crew
I don't know if this would apply to anyone on this thread but I bought a SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC and my SGS3 Wouldn't recognize the card and all.
At the time I was running CM10 Stable.
After trying several different methods found around the forums (both here and external) nothing worked.
W7 would only recognize it as a 32GB because of OS limitations and with every single third party software I tried it was always the same thing (32GB only).
So on a whim I decided to try a slightly different approach.
I flashed a backup I had of the Original Touch Whiz UI I had laying around back onto the device. Shoved the SD card into it and LO and BEHOLD.. It recognized the card.. Erased the Contents and Formated it properly!
I went into Titanium Backup to see if it actually worked and there it was..
63.xGB.. Woohoo!
So apparently CM has problems seeing a 64GB MircoSDXC correctly and the Stock Touch Whiz UI OS works nicely to see it and format it.
Hope this helps the next person who reads this!
I formatted my 64GB class 10 card in my Mac to fat32 and it has worked fine since.
CWM sees it as that size, TWRP does, both my Mac and PC do.

Just a heads up, might help a few people. My phones batt drained completely and whenever i charged it and turned it on it always said that my SD card was damaged and needed reformatting. At first i kept on reformatting it and thought i might have bought a faulty SD card.
Then i thought id experiment when it happened again, after plugging it in, i let it charge from 1% to 10% and reset the phone. Suddenly my SD card works again and was no longer considered "damaged"
Just randomly guessing that maybe my phone didnt have enough juice to run the SD card when it was drained to 0.
Have only gotten to test it once. Ill try again tom since on a daily basis i drain the batt to 0 by 6pm. Ill post again if it works again.

sandisk 64gb?
http://www.phonearena.com/news/SanDisk-says-it-produced-some-bad-32GB-and-64GB-microSD-cards_id40986
I have just purchased the 64gb ultra SanDisk as well.
Put it in once i had formatted it for exFAT and all was well until a few hours into my phone usage it said i need to format my card, as it may be corrupt/damaged. I took no notice and went into storage and mounted it, and it worked again. It does this all the bloody time.
So i tried to change ROM's as i thought hey.. who knows. But behold that when i select a ROM from the SD card it stops working half way through my flash. Lucky I have a backup on my internal SD card or i'd be fu**ed...
Formatting for FAT32 does the same thing. I've emailed sandisk as I must have one of their defective cards.

There seems to be a fix from Phil (Creator of Philz CWM)
In an ADB shell you can type this code to attempt to mount the 64Gb card.
Use a tool like this if you are unfamiliar with ADB interfaces.

and then check this out if you are also unfamiliar on how to use ADB...

Code:
mount -t exfat /external_sd

Phil said that it may be a problem with CWM mounting the card. Like I said I can't try it so can't confirm if it works. No one as yet has reported it working or not yet..

I have SanDisk 64GB and it have been working fine in my S4 since 10 of May :fingers-crossed:
I have a issue with microSD card with the stock rom (jb4.1.2, sprint).
When I insert my 32gb samsung class 10, the phones tell me that is corrupted.
I have formatted with PC (windows 8.1), with the phone (in android, not in recovery) but same issue.
I also run chkdsk from windows to fix the problem, but nothing..
The only way to get my SD working is mount and remount from android settings until it makes a strange "mount loop" and to the end phone accept the card.
Every reboot or every time I get out the card I have the same issue.
I also have issue with spotify: aftero 400 / 500 MB of downloaded cache it tell me the memory is finished.. but I got 10gb left in sd and 2 in internal.. I think issues are connected.
Have you tried a different SD card? Perhaps that card is in fact corrupt.

With CyanogenMod (10.2 and 11) works perfectly on my phone, with my old desire Z works.. The problem is only with original sprint rom..
Test: 64mb microSD works ok.. (don't ask me why I have 64mb microSD )
New test: my brother's 64gb kingstone class 10 works perfectly, my samsung 32gb class 10 on my brother's huawei p1 with CM10 works perfectly..
