I bout a 64GB card back in Jan for my S3. I put it in the S4 as soon as I got it. They card failed several times over the last few months and then just gave out completely. So I got a replacement card last week. One thing I noticed is the lag time when in my gallery with opening picture folders. Is there anything I can do to speed up the load time?
The card is a Sandisk 64GB Ultra (DSSDQU-064G,ULTRA USD, UHS/U1)
I know this isn't a particularly helpful post, but I had the exact same issue - my card kept on failing for no reason and throwing up random error messages.
My solution was that I just gave up on SanDisk. I bought a 64gb sd card from Samsung a couple days ago.
TBH, I've grown really tired of SanDisk over the last few years. I always had some kinda issue with their stuff, and I found their aftercare was rubbish. To me Samsung is more respectable. And am happy I've now switched loyalties.

Hopefully your card stays working. Sandisk sent me a new one in 3 days with no problems

Any ideas???
This lag is killing me
The gallery app on the S4 performs very poorly on my phone and my wife's, especially when there are a lot of pictures. One of the first things we did after getting our phones was switch our gallery app to Quickpic. No more lag.
I've owned 2 Sandisc 64GB ultra 10 class, 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.
Even the Samsung ones are dodgy, buy transcend or Kingston or something. I had 1 SanDisk fail, bought a Samsung with refund which failed too. And my new Samsung freezes quite often when downloading torrents, which I'm guessing shouldn't be happening either. All these 64gb cards are dodgy as hell, go figure.
guys sandisk knows about issues with 32 and 64g cards and will refund or replace it, sandisk has a live chat that will get you all fixed up. they sent me a printable ups label next day after "chat" and then you send card back and new one is sent next day air, i bought mine off amazon but i dont thin it matters where you got it. there is a 5yr guarantee on there cards, please give it a try. hope this helps someone out.

Just throwing in my 2 cents. My Transcend died after 2 weeks. My replacement died after 4 weeks. Been having good luck with my Samsung 64 gb card.
Although in my old Xperia Play, I had a 64 gb Sandisk card that had no issues.

Yup. I did the samething
My SanDisk 64gb card still going strong. No issues here.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4
I bought my Sandisk 64Gb class 10 1 month ago, exfat formatted, works without any problems.
I bought my SanDisk 64GB C10 UHS1 30MB/s edition microSDXC Ultra a few weeks back...I know I've had it only for a short time, but still....nothing so far.
Also read an article dated ~march, where sandisk said that they know there was a problem that it had already been fixed - and that the problem was with 32 and 64GB mobile ultra cards.....so the newer ultra cards should be ok...
Just wanna throw this out there... The kernel you guys run may have affected the card too. I have switched around a few kernel and I find that the Bioshock kernel doesn't force dismount my SD card anymore. Now I'm testing Infamous, and will have to see.
EDIT: I'm using this card http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-MicroSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B005V7WIA2
EDIT2: I just realize this isn't the T-Mobile S4 section, so to clarify, I'm using the US T-Mobile S4.
Nearly all the tech shops in hong kong and many in the uk avoid Sandisk at all costs, apart from marketing well the parts inside are not all that great and you are paying extra for that marketing stuff.
The only issue with a Sandisk 64GB card I ever came across was that formatting one to exFat would cause a bootloop. Since none of the files on my card are over 4GB anyway, I'm keeping the card at Fat32.

I'm getting fed up with the dismounts, this card (64GB) is a pain in the arse and I don't get why this is a problem, it's not like it's new technology FFS !
I'm going to reformat one more time and if this continues it's going back.

that looks too good to be true- Im tempted!
When something seems to be too good to be true it usually is.
Memory cards aren't something you wanna be cheap about. Specially since cheaper knock off cards tend to have memory failure randomly and early in their lives.
It would suck to have lots of important pictures and data on the card and it to stop working!
posted from a EPIC4G.
Those are fake. They will format as 32gb if you are lucky, but the instant you add more than 16gb or 8gb or whatever it actually is, the data will be "corrupted" or some other nonsense, since its not actually 32gb.
Do NOT get memory cards on ebay for all the reasons mentioned above. I have personal experience with some of these.

Unfortunately I consider all memory cards on ebay knockoffs. They Suck!! Suck bad!!! I consider myself a pretty enthusiastic photographer and purchase memory cards for my camera quite often and in the period of a year I bought 3 of them from ebay just to test and one got corrupted within a month, another just died as in couldn't be recognized at all, the third one worked and then one day i went to format it and it said format successfull only that I could never write to it again. It would always give me a write error, or the message on the camera would show up to change memory cards.
They are horrible horrible cards.
Compared to the ones I buy in newegg, even the cheaper brand ones from transcend worked flawlessly. I think once with transcend I push the card in really fast, and it gave me the change memory card error but the card still works once i took it out and put it back in carefully.
Sorry man, some things ebay is good for and other things its just not so please avoid.
it was removed off of ebay.
FWIW I've actually had good luck with the Microcenter branded micro sd's. I've used them in phones and cameras for the last couple of years and haven't been let down yet. I even have one in my Windows 7 lappy for that readyboost feature.

yes one will work, but as of now, micro center doesnt have a private lable 32 gig card.

Yea I didnt think they did but i haven't been in there in a while. That is good news about it working though I think ill ask santa for one for christmas.
I'm in the Columbus store at least once a week to grab stuff for work and to go next door to Gallo's for lunch and they still don't have anything larger than 16. It took then a while before they carried the 16 so hopefully they will get a 32 in soon.

Hello,
I have it, bought on Amazon at 32€
It works fine.
I bought Lexar 32gb class 10 for 47$...

Waiting for delivery...
I can vouch for LEXAR. perfect at around 10MBPS for video files and ROM zips lol. Bought mine for 50
Thanks for the heads-up on this.
Been looking around for a while for a decent 32GB card and this seems to be the cheapest of it's kind. There are some cheaper ones around but a lower class of 6 or 4.

In for the updates.
I currently have a Patriot 32GB Class 10... It's awful. Likely the worst card on the market. I've had so many issues with it. It corrupts easily. It's happened a few times this year. Each time it did it I lost just about everything on the card. (Luckily I use TI Media Sync to back up my card to my FTP server.)
I don't use USB to mount the card as a drive that often. Usually I use Samba or something to wirelessly move files. But the times it has corrupted was when it was either sitting idle or I was watching a video.
I just ordered the ADATA 32GB Class 10 since it's got a lot of good reviews. But I'd like to see how you guys do with this card. I could always sell my ADATA card and buy this one if it turns out to be better.
EDIT:
Never mind. I canceled my order for the ADATA card and just ordered the US version of this one. I like Samsung products. Their SSDs are freaking amazing and their customer support has been really good so far. This one was only $2 more than the ADATA one so it wasn't worth the wasted time to try the ADATA first.

Been running ADATA 32G C10 card for quite a few months now . Not a single hiccup
ever ! Great card quality and highly recommended .
I am waiting for micro sd's to go on sale. Lexar 32gb one on amazon up to $66 ._.
Got the Samsung card today.
First off, it's the first and ONLY large capacity SD card I've put into my laptop that was recognized. My Laptop has recognized all cards 4GB and down, but it didn't recognize either of my 16GB or 32GB cards without asking to reformat them. I don't know why. I wasn't expecting my laptop to recognize this 32GB card. But it did. So that's a BIG plus.
Secondly, I'm using RoboCopy to move over all my stuff from my phone over USB to the new card in the SD slot. There's about 20GBs of crap to send over. Robocopy isn't telling me how fast it's going, but it's taking about 5 seconds to copy over 100 MB, so I put that at > 10MB/s easily. Probably a lot faster. I'll run crystal mark on it as soon as I get done copying my crap over and then I'll do an SD Speed test on my phone.
For the record I've never been able to get the Patriot 32GB card in my phone right now to write faster than 8MB/s (which I honestly believe is due to the phone's limitations, not the cards).
The only reason I'm changing cards at all is because the Patriot keeps corrupting. I've lost so much, thanks to the patriot SD. The one week I turned off Titanium Media Sync is the one week my SD card freaked out. LOL That'll teach me to turn off backup.
Anyway, I'll post up the results from both cards if I have time.

FYI, SanDisk's having a black Friday sale. the 32gb micro sdhc is $50 on their site. can't make out what class from the pic on my mobile.
I would have bought SanDisk if I could find a class 10 micro SD, but I couldn't find ANYONE who sold a SanDisk 32GB class 10.
I think that pretty much all 32GB Class 10 MicroSDs are garbage and SanDisk doesn't want to tarnish their name.
On the flip-side, I've found that the Samsung is just as fast on my Sensation as the Patriot, which is fine. I never had a problem with speed. Lets see how long this one lasts, though.
Best buy Is sell SanDisk - Ultra 64GB microSDXC Class 10 Memory Card For $49.99 or you can tell them it's on sale at amazon and they will price match it for $45.99. Or you pick up a SanDisk - Ultra 32GB microSDHC Class 10 Memory Card for $24.99. They both are great prices.

I have the SanDisk Ultra 64 and its been nothing but problems. It will randomly corrupt files on my card, deletes all pics and videos and randomly unmounts. Have no idea what the issue is. The only way to get it to work again is copy what I can to my external hdd. Then reformat the card. it works for a couple weeks, then it does it again.
Unfortunately Amazon had no return policy on this card. I've been thinking of just ordering another or trying a Samsung card. But I thought SanDisk was the company to go with the memory card game. Who knew.
Anybody have issues with the Samsung card??

ive had a 64gb sandisk since they came out and BB did the first 79.99$ sale. No issue's at all. Maybe you guys got a bad batch?
Yeah seems you guys got a bad batch got mine when amazon had "new - open box" for 18 bucks.
I have 3 sandisk 64gb card. One in my phone,galaxy tab 2, and in my galaxy player. I haven't had no problem.

I will probably take the advice I see here and go with Sammy. Most likely, it's gonna be more compatible. Damn!

I bought the Samsung card because it was said that it is the most reliable. So far no problems.
I have the Sandisk Ultra, no complaints.
i have the 2nd and 3rd cards you listed. both work very well for me. if you look around you can get good deals on the samsung card. i got one on ebay for $23. you do have to look out for counterfeits. luckily mine was legit.
I have the SanDisk Ultra 64GB in my S4 right now.
It works, but I'm getting sporadic "unexpected SD card removal" message followed by "preparing SD card". It seems like the card got unmounted and remounted by itself!
This usually happens whenever I open my Gallery. (I have set my camera to auto save images to the external SD card)
I'm not sure if it's hardware or software issue...
I bought the Samsung. It's very quick and so far has worked without any issues. Even formatted as exFAT.
Writes really are 20MB/s, though I topped out at 40 for reads.

I ran across this article which tested the Sandisk Extreme card on a PC with USB 3.0, and also in a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone.
http://www.legitreviews.com/article/2232/3/
It turns out, the S4 does not take advantage of the increased speed of the Extreme card. Thus, it does not seem worth paying the premium dollars for this card.

Sure, Samsung cards have 10 years warranty.
I got a Samsung 32GB plus (UHS-i) in HK ( price 179HKD), the read/write speed from SD tools is about 19.8MB/12.6MB (my S4 is i-9505)

I ask because I see that people have had some trouble with SanDisk and the card would corrupt the data and/or get fried. So if anyone has had any experience with either, it would be greatly appreciated if you could give me some info, thanks!

I ask because I see that people have had some trouble with SanDisk and the card would corrupt the data and/or get fried. So if anyone has had any experience with either, it would be greatly appreciated if you could give me some info, thanks!

I started out with a Sandisk 64gb ultra and it kept unmounting randomly every so often. I got sick of it (and tried all of the tricks, formatting as FAT etc,etc.etc.still issue)- especially after losing some pics and vids of my son's school awards.
I ended up going with a samsung 64.
I think sandisk is generally good, I've not had any other issues with their cards/flashdrives -so, it could have just been a bad one.
I did get it from Amazon and ended up returning it and got the samsung 64gb instead.
I've have had no issues whatsoever with the Samsung.
Samsung all the way. Using 64gb here, no problems. Just format it in your phone before use and all should be well.
No disrespect to sandisk. But i feel a sammy product would work on point with a sammy device. Good luck

Samsung. Got my 64gb ultra for $60 on black friday. Really happy with it. Its exfat format. So I just reformatted it to fat32 so its compatible with any kernal. Might not be as fast as it could be but as long as it stores my files I'm happy.

From now on I am only going to use genuine SanDisk cards. I've bought a couple of cheap 32gb ones from eBay and you really do get what you pay for. It may be cheap but not worth the loss of data if you load on too much at once etc. Anyone know anywhere I can get a genuine SanDisk a bit cheaper or like I said, is it a case of if you want quality you have to pay top dollar? Thanks in advance.

I had a Sandisk (32GB) and it got fried. Returned it under warranty as I had it under a year and they replaced it for free (just had to pay postage). There were reports of previous models of cards that were faulty and mine may very well have been one of them. I had used it in my HTC sensation prior to my S4 and hadn't formatted before using with my S4. Perhaps a coincidence but I had an issue when creating a nandroid backup and it corrupted shortly after this, so not sure if this was a contributing factor or not. But been using my replacement for the past 4 months without any issues so happy with it.
I had one issue with one 64gb SanDisk. There were known issues early on and SanDisk owned up to it, and they readily replaced cards. My replacement has zero issues. Most of my cards in general are SanDisk with a couple Samsungs.

i am also looking for a great one.
suggestions are welcome:laugh:
My S3 killed two SanDisk cards rather quickly so when I got the S4, got a Samsung one instead. Been in use nearly a year and no problems

I'm using the Samsung one and I haven't had any issues at all, I didn't even format it to my phone just inserted and butter. Out of 64 only 58.84 was usable, that normal?

That's a really good sale; kind of overkill for the S4 but probably one of the best cards there is.
16/32/64GB $18/$25/$50
I recommend to skip getting a samsung 64 GB card and stick with the SanDisk Ultra 128 GB Class 10 Micro SDXC. This is the latest, fastest and highest capacity Micro SDXC Class 10 card I've found yet and SanDisk is the only brand to make this capacity compatible with the S4. There are many reports on Amazon that this card DOES work on the S3 and S4. I have the 64 GB version of that SanDisk card and I've never had any problems. I also have about 5 GB's left so I'm happy for now... until I have the 128 GB one! Just so everyone knows... I found it one day on Amazon about 3 weeks ago and they had the 128 GB card for $120. The next day I checked, it had jumped up drastically to $190. Get it while it's hot but watch the item for price drops!!
Oh, there's no such thing as overkill in my opinion. If the rumors are true about the S5 having Dual Micro SD Card slots being capable of reading up to 128 GB's per slot... I'd be more than happy to welcome around 256 GB's for total SD Card memory in my phone. Can you imagine all the porn, dvd movies, android games, old school video game system (NES, Super NES, N64, Sega Genesis, etc) emulated games, PDF files, .ePub/.mobi android books, full series TV shows like Game of Thrones, hundreds of thousands of pics, & as much space for music you could possibly handle?! I can and I want one!
