I've tried formatting the sdxc-card in so many ways now. Using both diskpart. minitool partition wizard, sdformatter and easeus partition manager.
Tried using FAT32, exFat and NTFS. None of them works. When using exFat the card is recognized and the phone asks if I want to format, but nothing happens after it says it's erasing the sd card.
The card works perfectly fine in Windows formatted as exFat.
I'm running stock ICS 4.0.4 if it helps to know.
I also have a friend who is using a 64gb sdxc card on the same type of phone.
Which version he's using I do not know.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

I thought, the Desire S can work with up to 32GB sd-cards. I've read it many times on different web-sites.

So I've read also, but since my friend is using a 64GB without a hitch it should work. Unless it's only possible when using a custom rom? For a short period I managed to get the phone to see the card and report all 64GB, but then it was unmounted. Managed to do this using a certain cluster size as exFat if I remember right.

You could ask your friend, the correct model of the SD-Card, and buy the one he also has, or test his one and see, if it's related with your hardware or not. I'm still a bit noob, so, you'll better also hear opinions by other XDA members.
Might have found the issue
I downgraded from ice cream sandwich to gingerbread(?) 2.3.3 while I at the same time rooted the phone and set the bootloader to s-off.
Now the phone itself has managed to format the card and recognize ~62GB/64GB. I successfully formatted it using cwm too and the phone still recognizes it. At the moment I'm partitioning the sdxc-card with a higher cluster size since it was really really slow when I tried to copy a file from windows. Note that it's a class 10 card.
Appears to be a problem with ICS. If anyone else can confirm this we're set here I think.

Ok, the good news is, you made the phone to recognize it! That's really good, taking into account that reviews said it's only capable of having up to 32GB standard SD-card.

Formatting the card as FAT32 with a primary and active partition is the only way I can get the card to be recognized.
But as soon as I try to copy something to the card it gets removed and unusable again.
Could there be a need for several partitions? One primary and one logical perhaps?
I've changed to flinnys version of CM10.1 build 22 called andromadus (jelly bean) which at a couple of times reported the card as damaged.
Tips on software for checking and possibly fixing a damaged one?

I can put the card in my dx and it works fine but put it back in the s3 and nothing. I'm running synergy anybody thinks that has something to do with it. Maybe I'll try a different rom. Any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
first try reflashing synergy. Something funky may have happened when you flashed the Rom.
If that does not work go back to stock and see if it will work on the stock rom, heck it is always worth a try. If this doesn't work, it may have been the formatting done by your computer that has made it incompatible.
If nothing works, take it back to the store you bought it from ( if you bought it from a store x.x) and just get an exchange because it is technically a faulty product to you right now.
Also, it may be inconvenient, but please list more info. What version of Synergy? What kernel are you running? Either of these could be the problem.
I will try to re flash ASAP... I'm running synergy rom nightly r53. And the kernel that came with it. I just got this 32gig class 10 card but my 16gig from my dx did not work either. I never tried before I rooted it. Hope flash will help.

All these threads I see about cards not being able to be mounted - can't you just format the card in the phone itself and then mount and use it?
That's how we got the 64 gig sandisk cards to work in the mytouch 4g slide - and when I took that card out of it and put it in the SGSIII it was immediately usable, didn't have to format or anything.
Why have I not seen mention of trying this - did I just miss it or is "format card" greyed out under storage options?

Do we know what's wrong with the format option in the phone then?
I phrase it that way because my over a year old htc device can prep the cards to work in the SGSIII - so thia device should be able to do it too.
If going from gingerbread to ics means losing critical functions like this, think I need a tally of all the missing features gingerbread offered before calling the upgrade progress...
...or is this samsungs fault and a device specific problem?
So I've been looking around for help on this across various sites and I've had no luck fixing my problem.
I'm running the most recent CM10 nightlies, which I read might influence which formats the phone can read, and even after I formatted the card to FAT32 via the gui app and easeUS partition editor my phone still says my card is damaged. When I try to format it it just says "unmounting card" with the spinning circle and sits there, never unmounting and formatting like it wants to. I tried to mount/unmount and format in CWM, no dice. This card is brand new out of the package today so there's been no previous use or problems.
Am I just going to be unable to use this card while running CM10, would I have to go back to a TW ROM or stock to make it read correctly? It will show up on my computer when I plug it in and files transfer to it fine so I figure it's a problem on the phone's side. My old 16gb card from my DX works fine and that's what I'll use in the meantime but the space is dangerously low, hence why I jumped on this 64gb card when it was an Amazon deal.
If anyone has some insight or experience with this I'd really appreciate it, I'm guessing it's a problem with CM10 or I missed some tiny step somewhere but I've tried a lot and had no success.

What exactly is the partition editor you used, and why? The GUI program to format it to fat32 is sufficient...
I would guess either it's the card(what brand btw?) or the partition editor.

It's the "SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQUA-064G-U46A", I've noticed a lot of GS3 owners have been buying something similar or the same.
I used EaseUS Partition Master as well as the fat32 gui program that's been circulating, sounds like you know the one, and while the format was successful the phone still sees the card as damaged and won't completely unmount the card when I try to format it like it says.

Ah ok, looks like I'll have to buy an sd-usb plugin then.
Had the same issue on two different cards and eventually they said that they were an unsupported raw format. Called sandisk and they said there are a lot of issues with the 64gb class 10 cards and the SGSIII. I am on my third one. This one has been working almost perfectly. I often get a unmounting remounting issue with the card, but I am not blaming the card yet as ever since I flashed the cracked aboot I have been having odd issues. I am going to put my phone back to stock and start over here today or tomorrow.

I bought a multi-SD plug-in with USB, slid my card in there, ran the gui on the card, put the card back in my phone and it worked fine, the phone recognizes it. For whatever reason the card didn't want to format while it was in the phone despite my manipulations, so plugging the SD into the computer is crucial I think.
Thanks for the support guys.
I have done everything described here, and still have what the OP says. Card is not recognized, like its not even plugged in to the phone, is formatted as FAT32 and works in windows.

Well, I literally fought this for 3 hours, and finally I just deleted the entire partition and formatted the card in the stock ROM. Then I pulled the card and formatted with EaseUS partitioner as FAT32 and put it back in and it worked. Then I flashed back to CM10 and it still works.
How frustrating this is....

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!

Have you tried with the latest kernel (JB version .25) and what make and model of your sdcard? just wonder if compability issue and are we talking about Micro sdcard or full size sdcard? On the full size there is a little switch on the side to block writting to the card.
I'm only having issues when I'm using the tablet to copy files. I'm on CleanROM Inheritance. I don't recall if I had this issue with the stock rom. Sometime tonight I will make a backup of my current and then flash to stock rom. Since I'm talking about the removable SD card, it could only be the micro SD that is installed in the tablet. There is no switch on that card.

Yes, it replaced what ever kernel you selected during cleanrom installation. Since it stock kernel, you can no longer Overclock.
Is there another kernel that can be the fix and still give us over clock?

Hi.
I'm having a problem with my Samsung Micro SDXC I (Class 10) card. I've been messing abut with it for days now, formatting, re-formatting in exFAT, FAT32, NTFS but the problem persists; whenever I try to copy data across to the card, the first time the card is inserted, it starts to copy, sometimes even up to 1.5Gb of data but often much less, but then gives me a 'Write Error' or 'I/O Error' message & stops working. Sometimes it also deletes other data on the card when the error occurs. then, until I unmount the card again, it barely functions at all!
A big factor in buyinh this tablet, unlocking, then rooting it was so that I'd have an awesome, small, tablet that had loads of storage & could be transported around very easily. If I can't get the cards to work with it, that's a big part of it's usefulness to me down the drain.
I tried to download the kernal that was mentioned above the message of yours that I'm replying to but the file has been moved. Do you still have it?.......or know how I can resolve my problem without it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You don't say which rom or firmware you are currently using. Without knowing that I wouldn't go blindly flashing kernels that are nearly a year old
It could be that your card is actually damaged as I can copy files just fine on mine. I'm using a SanDisk Ultra uhs-1.

Hi sbdags,
Roger that
I'm not bad with most things tecchie but whilst I know which ROM I'm using, I'm not sure what the firmware is.
I recently updated to CROMI-X 5.2.2 from an earlier version in the hope that that might include an update or something that would solve my SD card problem.......it didn't
With regard to 'Firmware', I'm not sure where that's listed on the tablet but in the 'About' tab in my settings, it says:
Android Version - 4.2.1
Kernal Version - 3.1.10-g215ae8bf [email protected] # 1
Build Number - TF700 CHROMI-X 5.2.2 - 10.6.1.27.5 WW DEODEX
Pad EC Version - PAD-EC20T-0216
MobileDock Version - DOCK-EC20N-0207
I hope the firmware information you need is in there somewhere?
The card I bought is the latest 64Gb Samsung Micro SDXC Pro UHS-1 (Class 10) with write speeds of 20Mb/s & 70Mb transfer speed. I had read the formums & was torn between this card & the SanDisk 64Gb Ultra Micro SDXC (Class 10), the two-tone red/grey version, presumably like the one you're using but the Samsung was faster & at the time I bought it, the Samsungwas almost £15 cheaper. Since they were both reported to work, I opted for the Samsung card; maybe that was a bad decision?
I've just ordered the SanDisk 64Gb card, in the hope that that one will work because as i said, it really would be a shame if I can't make use of the extended storage that the SD crads give.
Do you use your SanDisk card in Micro SD form in the tablet or SD form in the dock.....or both......& have you got them formatted to exFAT or some other format?
Thanks again for your attention.

Hi sbdags,
Roger that
I'm not bad with most things tecchie but whilst I know which ROM I'm using, I'm not sure what the firmware is.
I recently updated to CROMI-X 5.2.2 from an earlier version in the hope that that might include an update or something that would solve my SD card problem.......it didn't
With regard to 'Firmware', I'm not sure where that's listed on the tablet but in the 'About' tab in my settings, it says:
Android Version - 4.2.1
Kernal Version - 3.1.10-g215ae8bf [email protected] # 1
Build Number - TF700 CHROMI-X 5.2.2 - 10.6.1.27.5 WW DEODEX
Pad EC Version - PAD-EC20T-0216
MobileDock Version - DOCK-EC20N-0207
I hope the firmware information you need is in there somewhere?
The card I bought is the latest 64Gb Samsung Micro SDXC Pro UHS-1 (Class 10) with write speeds of 20Mb/s & 70Mb transfer speed. I had read the formums & was torn between this card & the SanDisk 64Gb Ultra Micro SDXC (Class 10), the two-tone red/grey version, presumably like the one you're using but the Samsung was faster & at the time I bought it, the Samsungwas almost £15 cheaper. Since they were both reported to work, I opted for the Samsung card; maybe that was a bad decision?

Well the ROM is mine so you are all good there. Lol. I only use fat32 as that is how the cards come.
Are you copying the files in esfileexplorer? Are they single files? Total size?

Hi sbdags.
I've tried using both the File Explorer that was included with CHROMI-X & another one from the Play Store that I use on my phone called Astro; the same thing happens with both. As I say, the card seemed okay to begin with but all I had put on it was my Nandroid & Titanium backups (approx. 2Gb total with lots of small files included). The problems started when I tried to copy a season of a TV series onto the card to free up space on the internal SD card. It started off okay & I wasn't expecting any problems but then approx 1.5Gb, I got an I/O write error & then all the problems I described in my first post.
As an aside, the card performed best when formatted to FAT32 but according to the SD Card Association, SDXC cards come formatted as exFAT, so that's how it's currently formatted; I thought if that's how it came & it initially worked okay, maybe that would solve the issue. Again, I was wrong!
So, I'll format it back to FAT32 again but as I've already had it in that format, I wouldn't anticipate any change to the card's behaviour.
The 64Gb SanDisk card should be here in a few days, so I'll be able to report on whether that one works or not then.
Did you have to re-format yours when you first got it or are the SD Card Association talking nonsense? Oh, & you didn't say whether you're able to use your cards in both micro form in the pad &/or full-size form in the dock? Also, was the Firmware information you asked for in that mass of stuff I listed. If not, where do I find it, so I know for the next time you ask
Thanks again

I've never tried my card in the dock to be honest. Both my cards; 32GB and 64GB are SanDisk, I am not sure now what they cam in but I am using fat32 as I formatted them myself.
As for the stuff you posted I just wanted to know the rom and bootloader version. So CROMi-X 5.2.2 on 10.6.1.14.10 would have ben enough. Maybe the kernel helps too. In your case you are using the stock kernel. You may get better results on thatv4 kernel?

Cheers.
So, I think I've grasped that the kernel is similar to the BIOS on a PC; is that correct?
When you say that I may get better results using _that's v.4 kernel, what improvements are you thinking I might see?

Not really, the kernel is ... the kernel. The core of the operating system. Under Windows it's ntoskrnl.exe.
You could compare the bootloader with the PC BIOS - its main function (nowadays) is to start the operating system.
[HTC One SV] SD Card
I found it nowhere else.
The HTC ONE SV works also with microSDXC Card. In the specs it says microSDHC cards but I operate mine since I bought it with a 64GB microSDXC card without any problems.
I have to post this here because we still have no dedicated Forum for the HTC One SV
This are good news!
Also thinking about buying a bigger one.
Which one do you use, have you a link?

There is only a 8 GB version, but you get at least around 4 GB left.

I was almost sure..but i had seen somewhere the tech specs that indicated a 4 GB version...i think there was a mistake !

Is there a way to increase the 1.1GB space for the application (EX join with the 4GB internal space). I don't need internal space for data, i usually store them in the SD.

If you are rooted you can Swap your internal and external memory

Fantastic! but with this i have a lot of space only for SD movable app. Do the internal 1.1 GB partition stay the same?

After this mod your sd card will be recognized as internal memory and the internal around 4 GB will be recognized as sd card.
Ok... Is possible to change partition table for join application space with intrrnal space (1.1+4 GB) and use for applicazioni? So the sd could be used as external space...
Sent from my HTC One SV using xda app-developers app
I think for the moment this mod is all and the best you can do.
As i did not create it, i can't say, if there will be other variants in the future.

Did you have to do anything in particular to get the card to work? Because I just got the exact same card as this one from Amazon and it doesn't work at all. D=

Nope, as far as I can remember it was detected by the phone worked.. It still works like a charm. I am using the phone now for over a year with that card and never had problems. I think I tested nearly all available ROMS for that phone and never had problems with the card. At present I am using ViperSV 1.1.1.on the phone.

See, I'm also running ViperSV 1.1.1 and when I put the card in initially it said it was unsupported or damaged. Tried reformatting it in Windows, now shows up as 59GB exFAT in Windows but still not working on the phone. Is yours formatted differently or something?
UPDATE: I'm hearing elsewhere that it needs to be formatted as FAT32 in order to work, and Windows doesn't want to format it to anything other than exFAT or NTFS (while SD Formatter only uses exFAT). Apparently there's some sort of issue with the fact that the Class 10 cards have exFAT and a mysterious 16MB hidden offset partition at the start of the drive, so I'm now gonna try getting rid of that to see if it works.
UPDATE: Yep, looks like both: 1. The phone (Android?) doesn't support exFAT without a mounting mod, and 2. That weird 16MB offset at the start of the drive seems to cause compatibility issues as well. Have wiped the offset and reformatted to FAT32, and the card now works.
Thanks for the recommendation and the quick reply!
