So I bought this 32gb class 10 micro SD off amazon.. And it is cheap.. I'm on budget so it had to be.. Anyway, I transfer music to it and once I get like 10 albums on it has a fit... The first few albums I put on work fine, the rest start and skip.. It still registers as being fully downloaded to the SD.. Anyway, as well as that, when I restart the phone, all the albums that don't work properly get deleted magically, and I have like 5 albums.. Is this because I'm using Gmtp on Ubuntu to transfer files, or is the SD not really 32gb? Wtf?!

If something looks too cheap to be legit, then it probably is. Have a search for SD Card Testing software - you'll probably find that your card is actually a 2 or 4 Gig card but they've 'spoofed' the chip to look bigger.

I have a cricket muve music ZTE Score
$30 best buy no contract. I am going to use as a digital dash in the car and for timelapse in "risky" situations where I won't care if I lose the $30 phone. not even going to activate.
anyway it came with a 4gb SD card YEAH ! but you only get 1gb 3gb is dedicated to their music service.
suggestions on reformatting this so I can use the full 4gb?
I already stuffed a 16gb in it for timelapse but would be nice to have an extra 4gb card for my wee little 720p spy cams I used on my rockets.
Trying to do the same. Some info i found.
From KydDynoMyte on slickdeals
"You don't have to wait until you remove Muve, but Sandisk did something special to these cards. You can't see the hidden 3GB partition. The only reported method I haven't been able to try yet (all the others have failed) is:
one guy reported doing this to 3 or 4 Muve cards. He put the sdcard in his Epson wireless network printer card reader and transfered over 3GB to the card and it let him do it, then he was able to reclaim the missing space. Not sure if once you get over 1GB on it if you get the whole missing 3GB back or only the space you write to. Also I hope he didn't have the older bad batch Sandisk sent out that didn't have a blue background and required the AAA SD Card fix on market for Muve to work."
From Sandisk
SANDISK SECURE FLASH MEMORY TECHNOLOGY TO POWER NEW CRICKET UNLIMITED “MUVE MUSIC” WIRELESS SERVICE
"With the help of SanDisk, we have created an innovative new way to protect digital content without the use of DRM," said Jeff Toig, vice president and general manager, voice and data products, Cricket. "This solution enables a superior overall experience for Muve Music customers. They will have immediate and easy access to all the music they love while the music industry has the confidence it needs in a secure mobile music solution."
The card itself has a specialized firmware on it that locks off that space on the card as the press release shows -- it's a special form of DRM. Could possibly be CPRM/CPPM DRM.
I've tried poking at the card low-level a few ways but it looks like we'd need to somehow re-set the card's firmware with a "normal" card's firmware... possibly. Or potentially try and see if it's a form of CPRM.
Only thing is Google isn't helping me because the only things you'll find is updating other devices' firmware... not the physical card itself.
There is a firmware update for Muve SD cards released by Sandisk on Google Play.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sandisk.shima.fixer
Would it be possible to use apktool to see what this app actually does? Of course you can always just get a new 4GB microsd card for like $5 so it may not be worth the hassle.
$5 is $5 I have 5 of them so thats $25 or 5 memory card's I won't have to buy for my little disposable micro spy cam's if I can get these buggers formatted.
Hidden files
Using TestDisk I was able to extract otherwise hidden files from the card, MuveMusic_v4.db3 and ComFile.dat. MuveMusic_v4.db3 seems to be encrypted, and ComFile.dat had a reference to 'mkdosfs' contained within. I don't know enough about anything to work with these files, but I figured it was a step closer.
The card is still showing up as 1GB.

How to fully format your muve music sd card
HEY GUYS,
WANT TO FORMAT YOUR MUVE SD CARD FROM 1 TO 4 GB WELL HERE YOU GO.....
MUVE MUSIC 4 GB SD CARD IS MAINLY GOT FROM MUVE MUSIC PLANS SO HERE'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO...
1) connect your sd card via your sd card reader or anything else that does the job right..
2)Then download file Drive increaser 2
3)Extract the file and open up Drive Increaser 2..
4)Put the letter of your drive..for example if u have the letter (F u will put F..
5)Choose a name for your Sd card
6) Type the name again to start and Done...check your sd card you will have 3.99GB
IF U HAVE ANY PROBLEMS TRY THIS..OPEN DRIVE INCREASER SELECT DRIVE AND PRESS ENTER TWO TIMES...(DONT PUT THE NAME FOR THE SD CARD U CAN CHANGE THE DRIVE NAME LATER BY LEFT CLICKING THE DRIVE AND RENAME..)
HOPED THIS HELPED =)
anyone familiar with this drive increaser? scam? malware? where to get it ?
Stay away, it does nothing, though cleared the malwarebytes test. I don't know if I am still infected with something else.
It works. I tried it and it opened up the whole 4GB of data. Just google "muze sd format" the first hit should be a blogspot page, then the link goes to zippyshare. Sorry, won't let me post the links.

Tried this out and it doesn't work. It makes the SD card report 4GB of space but I tried transferring a 2GB file to the SD card and after it had transferred the first GB I got an error. This means its still only 1GB of actual space available.

Is there any advantage to buying an external SD card as far as flashing roms and such? I don't have a lot of music and photos stored so space is not a concern.

I didn't think space would be an issue for me either. I started using and 8 gig card, then a 16, and now a 32. I don't use my phone for music or video either unless its streaming. The thing is, once you have a nandroid or 6 on it, some ROM add ons, a couple of apps (along with their storage requirements), and a few other things you will notice space filling quickly. I use my SD card for picture and video recording storge as well, but I don't take alot of pictures and video. Its nice to have the extra space incase I need to though. I am a fan of keeping whatever I can on external SD if possible instead of internal. And I also back up the important stuff onto my PC and a backup drive. I just got a PNY 32 gig class 10 at Bestbuy for $39 and the Accessories section lists Amazon deals at around $32 if you can find them. I think it is worth it. Its nice to know the extra strorage is there just in case even if you don't think you will ever need to use it. Plus, you can remove the SD card and make sure the data on it won't be erased or messed up by new flashes and stuff like that. Its also easily transferable.
Off to future shop!!

Samsung 64GB Class 10 UHS-1 Grade 1 70MB/s MicroSDXC Pro Memory Card
this is the one I am using just thought that I would share this for anyone else wanting to know.
Hi mate, could you confirm that sd card is working? Today I contact samsung support and they told me that only works up to 32gb.
If it support 64gb would be great! I also have doubts if only the standard sd line, or if plus and pro also works with it.
But could you use all 64 GB?
I am also considering a 64 GB microSD, but it would be useless if I could only be using 32 GB. Maybe try to drop some large files on your card to test?
FYI
I've been using sandisk 64gb class 10 without any issue
59.46GB of usable space.

Oh, i see you need to format as FAT32. But in that case I suppose it would not support files greater than 4gb, i'm right?

that's correct.
I'm using a Sandisk Ultra UHS-1 64GB card in my Relay 4G without any problems. Just yesterday had it down to about 8 GB space available, confirming it works past the 32GB barrier. I did have to do an update for Windows XP on my dad's laptop before I transferred files to my external HDD a few days ago, but otherwise had no problems there. (It wasn't till yesterday I deleted some files on the phone that had been copied to the drive - I wanted to keep some vids on the phone for a while and was handpicking them.)
Now if only I could interface directly with my 2TB hard drive (I have it in an enclosure with its own power source), without needing the laptop.

It should be possible, as our phone support USB.
I tried to find some videos on yt if that works, but only this:

But is not that subject of course, maybe we can move it or make new threat.
Seems interesting anyway.
So the trick is to format the SDCARD in FAT32 instead of NTFS. And the drawback is you can't have a file (music, movie, whatever) that's over 4GB. Okay. Can't think of what one file would be that much, so that seems like a decent compromise.
So I guess my only question is: if you're taking a file, as in drag in drop, from your NTFS hard drive on you computer and placing it on your FAT32 SDCard on your phone, will there be any problems? As well as any problems doing it in reverse?

There should be no problems in either direction, especially if you're doing it over MTP/PTP to your phone.
Another option is to format the card as ext4, which Linux and Android support natively, it's stable, and supports files up to arbitrary size (There is a limit, but it's quite a bit more than the supported maximum card size of the Relay)

I didn't think of this till you responded, but my USB 4GB flash drive is FAT32 and I transfer files from the 60GB hard drive on my laptop, which is NTFS, all the time. I typically do drag and drop, or I transfer via bluetooth.

I've never heard of ext4, but I'll research it. In any case, from the looks of it, the Relay 4G can use 64GB micro sd cards! :good: :highfive:

If the card is bad then it is bad. What else is there to say? Micro sd cards are only a $1 per GB. I'm sure you can find one on sale today at your local BestBuy, Walmart, or Radio Shack.
Indeed, if your card is bad there's nothing you can do. Doesn't have anything to do with your ROM or Tablet itself.
It may not be a bad card.Some devices see certain brand class 10 cards as class 1 and this causes problems. This was a big issue with some cannon cameras and camcorders about 3 years ago.
Also, only buy sd cards from trusted sources online. Many, many counterfeit cards sold online. Have even heard of people getting counterfeit cards on trusted sites like amazon. I only buy mine from b&h, newegg or locally from bestbuy.

As a mather of fact, I just read that the SanDisk CLass 10 cards have a common issue and that SanDisk even apologized for this issue already.
Exactly. C10 cards can indeed be problematic. I've been using c6 cards for the past 3 years becuase of these problems. I have no need for c10 cards. IMO c10's are really only good for things like cameras tha record at extremely high bitrates. For average use like in a phone or tablet, not really any reason to use a c10. But some people insist on getting every little bit of speed they can.

Hey fellow S4 users,
I just got my new micro SD card today and followed some guides here to remove the unallocated part and also to format it to fat32. After doing all this I checked my card and it says that there is about 58gb of free space even though there are no files on it. I was wondering whether this is normal? Or did I mess up somewhere in the process?

You essentially have 64GB in the Base 10 definition, but around 58GB in the Base 2 definition.

I have a Sandisk Ultra 32GB and it says total memory is 29.71GB. It never is what it has to be, just lik RAM. But when I get a 64GB card this year Ill be getting those new Sandisk Extreme for sure.
Slightly unrelated, but has anyone had any trouble with Sandisc Ultra (10) 64GB, I've owned 2, the first no longer works at all, the second quite often refuses to allow me to copy anything to it. Both are official, both purchased from different companies. Both tested in Galaxy s2 and S4 with same results. Both tried with fat32 and with exfat (on Pac rom which supports exfat). Also when removed from phone and plugged into pc directly, I can copy files across, as long as I don't copy too much at once or eventually it fails the copy and stops.
Anyone any similar experiences?
