Recently went from SGS3 to i9505 as Samsung has left us not much space on the 16gb version I purchased a Samsung 64Gb class 10 SDHC card .... Welcome to my nightmare. ...
1. Could not restore via CWM recovery I would always get MD5 mismatch
2. Take a photo it would just dissappear after a couple of hours
3. Folder mount or LinktoSd would not work correctly
4. Media files would not play correctly become corrupt
The CWM not restoring was the worst its kinda like playing Russian Roulette .. So I dusted my 32 Gb card off cleaned it up .....No more problems.
I've noticed alot of people seemed to face the same issues with 64Gb cards . So I thought I would start this thread to see if we can find the common denominator with this issue
Please post your experiences with SD cards here. Should I just write that one off to experience and go buy another 64gb card ??
Which format is best SDHC or SDXC
Should we format exfat ext4 or fat32
Please post any information regarding SD Cards and what dramas you have had

Hello, i just have got a Samsung Class10 not (UHS1) micro SD Card 64GB. And i put it on my Galaxy S4.
All was ok, until I passed some archives from the Internal memory to SD and Recorded some videos, then it appeared a message Saying "Empty Memory Card or Incorrect File Format" and tells me to Format it. Even it says I need to Format when i connected the Micro SD on PC (I connect it Through a Printer SD port with SD Adapter).
Now Im afraid I will lose my recordings and files.
So Should i have Formated it before giving a use?
Well the other detail is that after formatting it, looks like it cant be readed, my printer gets stuck saying Loading Photos.*
So it isn't readable on PC after formatting it on my android device?
Then I tested it on my Canon camera and it reads.
Looks like its defective. Many files got corrupted or simply dissapeared. And if I try to read via card reader on pc it says that doesnt have format and ask me to format it. Anyways it cant be formatted, an error appears.
what should i do with this card?

I guess this is my specific problem as I didn't found any query regarding this.
I have recently purchased Sandisk 32GB MicroSDHC class 4. I have installed fresh SteelEpicBlue V4 ROM and everything i did regarding ext3 swap etc. But now when i try to copy my old data, images, movie clips, movies it does copy but it gets corrupted. If lets say i copy 20 images at a time 4-5 opens and are accessable left all gets corrupt.
I checked with few testings that till data card in not pushed back to phone and if i try to access data on card to various PC ( I have 5 different pc tp check ) it works and lets me copy information safely but as i put it back to phone it creates thumbnails and most of the files get corrupted.
I have fat32 format file system in the card.
Please help me with 3 question if anyone may:
1) Is it that i have got compatable SDcard - mine is Sandisk Class 4 32GB ?
2) Is it that we can make sum partition to help easy access & will it help?
3) Is there anything we can do to keep files in the SD card safe protecting it from corruption?
Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.

Please let me know if there is anybody who tried 32gb MicroSDHC yet with XT720. And if it is working fine. Please let us know.
I use a 32gb card and it works fine. Most of the glitches have been self-inflicted. I had a Topram 16gb class 6 for a long time and used it on Nokia 5800 and then in xt720. I am a music hound so I upgraded to Topram 32gb class 10, although it runs more like a class 6. Capacity on the card is almost the full 32gb, so I was happy about that. Got both 16 and 32 from eBay, but made sure I got from same purveyor.
And always remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Hi Everyone
I bought the card mentioned below from ebay.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/28094386...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1906wt_1163
I have a couple of questions:
- Why is the transfer rate so slow when transferring files between computer and on to the SD card? It's like up to 2 MB/second.
- I used SDFormatter to format the card. The settings that I have used are Full Erase (Overwrite) and Flash Erase (OFF). When finished, I inserted the card and it's saying SD card damaged? I don't understand. Initially, I converted the file system from exFAT to FAT but the SDFormatter converted the file format back to exFAT.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Sam

Hi, Thanks for your prompt response - So, since now the partition is back as ex-FAT, I would have to convert to FAT and then format the card or would it convert to FAT when I format the card in recovery?

Uhm, little question at this occassion cause I only know about FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 (called vfat by linux when combined with long file names) so far -- what is ex-FAT?
But apart from that: formatting means writing a new file system to a block device [at least nowadays, in earlier times it could also mean write a new sector geometry on a harddisk]. So, it doesn't matter what flavour the old filesystem was.

Some of the reading that I have done with regards to these new types of SD cards from Sandisk, ex-FAT file structure is what they come with and our mobile phones are not eqipped to handle this format so hence the need to convert it to FAT. Now what ex-FAT is, I'm not sure. I'm not at my PC so will have to do some more reading on that one.
Are you sure you actually have a 64gb class 10?
There are A LOT of fakes on ebay where they take a class 2 8gb card and put a class 10 64gb label on it. Most are good enough painted on labels that you cant tell.
They even partition the card with fake info so it says its got 64gb of space....though it fills up with 8gb.
Be very careful with those ebay cards.
Anyway, that might be the reason you are getting slow transfer speeds.

If you can, go for Toshiba, the last time i heard most of the card are made by Toshiba, the other brands just slap a sticker onto it.

Just wanted to add to this conversation, although you normally will not run into this format. Because of Windows Phone 7 on the HD2 I know about this. If the card is formated in a RAID format you will have do w low level format on the card first before you can format it fat anything. So yes rarely it does matter what "flavour" the old file system was. That it should be mentioned.

Well, I got it from a Top ebay seller so I was hoping it'd be genuine. The space on my card when I first formatted said 59gb free.
Please advise what should I do? I will let seller know and see what happens?
Thanks,
I have one other question. I have found Patition Wizard by MiniTool and if I create a partition on the card as EXT4, will our sensation recognize the card?
I have created a partition on the sd card as FAT32 but the phone is still not recognizing the card. arghhh!

Most probably you got a low classed sd card and also try formate from your phone using any compitable file manager or using the phones builtin system.
And to test your sd card, google for "h2testw" and test your memory card.

I can't format from my phone because it is not recognizing it and/or having issues with being mounted. Now, it's not even recognizing it when I put it in the adapter. The windows 7 format pop windows says 'Unavailable capacity'. I think it's ****ed Thanks, I'll search for the memory card tester.
Can someone please recommend me another one? 32/64GB. Maybe, I should get a 32GB since a lot of people are having issues with 64GB. The only reason I got 64 was that it was selling cheap. 32GB should be plenty for my needs.

I have tried using SDFormatter with the memory card reader but it always changed the file structure back to ex-FAT, which is not compatible on Sensation.
@I got 64 was that it was selling cheap:
So tell me one thing, you will drive a Mercedes but you only will pay for a small Fiat?
I have an original Samsung 64GB Class 10 sd-card with no issues. They was not cheap at all.
Things you can do is:
a low level format to be shure..
- tool: HDD Low Level Format Tool 4.25 - www.hddguru.com
- that is the tool i am using for all my memory device since years
set up a new partion and format the sd-card..
- tool: EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition - Free for Home Users - www.partition-tool.com
- that tool can format every type and size
Ok that all is running on my 2nd w7 pc. Not my favor OS
When this all is not working with your sd-card, then you have possiblea a fake card.
The low-level-format tool looks deeper then your windows property.
When you have a fake card the LLF tool will stop working after it has reached the max of sectors.
You could have got one from amazon thats what I did

I know the specifications list it as supporting up to a 32GB MicroSD but is it possible to use a 64GB MicroSD card in it?
I am doing it right now, but from what I've read searching on here it has to be formatted in a different device because for whatever reason the tab 2 won't reformat it on it's own, but once you've got the card formatted to fat32 (you need a special app to do it on windows) you should be good to go in the TAB.
Here is a command prompt formatter that worked for me.
1. Unzip the file to the root of C:\
2. Mount your 64GB card on your PC and take note of the allocated drive letter (e.g. e:\)
3. run command prompt on PC (search for cmd.exe)
4. get to c:\ (I think cd c:\ will do this)
5. type fat32format.exe e:\ and press <return>
(where e:\ is the allocated drive letter from step 2, so if it mounts as f:\ you would type fat32format.exe f:\ instead)
This should then format your card as FAT32 which works fine in my Galaxy SII so there's no reason I can think of why it wouldn't work in the Tab 2 too.
This is all at your own risk of course - I won't be responsible if something goes horribly wrong and you kill your card, PC, Tab or anything else...sorry.
Did anybody have any success with this? I am looking at buying the Tab 2 7.0, but I need a 64GB MicroSD.

Yes, I use a 64GB sandisk card formatted fat32 and the tab uses it no problem.
I think I used Easus Partition Master to format it.

Did you not read my post? I pulled the 64GB that I formatted in my SGP 4.0 (didn't you have one of them too?) and stuck it right into my Tab 2 7" and it works FLAWLESSLY.
Stock JB or KK-Boot kernel support exFAT formatted card.

Does anyone know if the need for the sd card to be formatted as fat32 (or, as the case may be, exfat) is also true of the Note 2? I have both devices (plus a Note 10.1, with which I have no problem using the 64gb card right out of the package). The Note 2 and the tab 2 both have issues trying to read a 64gb card. They recognize the card and its max size, but renames copied files and folders or doesn't copy them at all.
Thanks.

Formatted fat32 using , I can't remember now , but it works great.
Will I still get all 64gb of the card when it is formatted fat32? I hear fat32 supports only up to 32gb partitions. I know I will never get the whole 64gb due to file system usage but something like 59 or something gb should be fine

Hello, whats up guya, only made a few posts but i need help again. I havea. Lucid 2 for verizon running 4.1.2 android, un-rooted. My problem is my sd card. Its 32gb. I'm trying copy music to it and after all transfers are done its shows compltede ( about 3 gigs transfered in about 3 diffent sectuons). Problem is the music wont stay and gets deleted when i try to view it on my player. When i reconnect in usb mode or via sd card reader, data is missing but the dame amount of space is still being used. Ive tried for about a week to solve but no luck. Ive tried phone format, wndows format in fat32, exfat, and NTSF but ntfs wasnt suppoered
Keep it in exfat and use the Download directory for storage and make sure that you use a micro sd card reader instead of mtp.

I'm not say that this is going to, or still is an issue, however, in MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE and from what i have read 6-10 months ago or more (maybe they have solved this issue by now i don't know) every time i formated an SD card Via PC it was horrible and the format destroyed the MicroSD card for use with any android device and then even my computer and they where all BRAND NEW. I think it has something to do with the formatting process of the SD cards and the phone because my 32GB cant be recognized anymore by any device but i can format it all day long on my PC and my androids will not see it... I even tried to format it BACK to what android uses to format the cards on ADB and NOTHING ever worked again. MY SUGGESTION IF YOUR USING IT FOR YOUR PHONE DON'T FORMAT YOUR CARD VIA PC. Flash memory is also has a write life. UNLIKE A HDD that you can erase and move files around constantly the more you erase and move files on your SD card the quicker you are going to see the integrity of your card degrade because FLASH Memory can not handle the constant moving and erasing over and over again. so if you want to ave the life of your flash memory and don't want it tos burn out because i guarantee it will, just be mindful of how many times you move and erase. just a tip. if im wrong someone correct me. good luck!
Try to reformat it on the tablet, not the PC. (Settings --> Storage --> Format MicroSD)
