Running MOAR 7.1 with ML!, not really that that matters since I had the same problem when running both stock and cleanrom.
I copy mp3 files to my external sd card (64 gb) and only the first 10 or so songs will play. All the other songs are not playable in all four different players I have on my phone. I tried reformatting drive and transferring both through the phone, straight to the sdcard with adapter, and through windows media player sync function. None worked. I also sent the card back for a replacement and same issue.
tons of different sellers selling the above card. unfortunately I was unable to post link since I am under 10 posts but the card is just the generic one off of ebay that has a blue, black, and white color scheme on the packaging.
is it just a piece of junk, does the s3 have trouble with 64 gig cards, is it something else?
please advise and thank you in advance.
Might just be the card.have u tried formating it to FAT32 so ur fone/rom can read the card properly.
Better yet see if u can format the card using the phone.

the only options through windows, when I use the adapter, are exFAT and NTFS.
I tried formatting through the phone OS and unfortunately that didnt work.
Get formatfat32 software and use that to format your card. Just google and uh you should find it.

I suggest that after you format to fat32, put the card back into your phone and see if your phone can format the card, if the phone can't then something wrong with the card (compatibility or corrupted partition on the card).
I've read that the S3 just does not like 64GB cards

This isn't a problem for myself, I'm trying to help my brother's girl
Basically, when her phone has the SD card inserted, it says its unmounted yet it won't mount. So, tried plugging it into a PC with an SD adaptor and it doesn't even show up...
Is there a way to fix this or is this SD card busted?
Thanks in advance

The fact that you cant even get the card to show up as mounted in Windows is not a good sign.
Was there important stuff on there? If so, you could try one of the SD Card recovery programs. I've used them in the past, but if you cant even get it to mount in the PC, they are probably not going to work.
But, to me, it sounds like the card is busted. Do you have another one you could test the phone and adapter with? If not, try and exchange it if it isnt too old.

Tried putting it into another phone and its still showing up as Unmounted with no option to remount it.
All that was on was a few music files and other assorted useless junk

What's her SD?
Some fast and high capacity micro SDHC are damaged I don't know why. I tried once a Patriot 32gb class 10 and it got broken in about 1 month of usage. The same occurred with a Sandisk 16gb class 10. Don't know if it's an app that is causing it. Now I'm using a Samsung 16gb class 2 normally. The broken SD were recognized in Windows as RAW partition.
I tried some Fixers without success. You may try them.

Just a note: Most android devices only allow FAT(32) partitions. NTFS shouldn't work.
Alright, first let me start by saying that I hope this is in the right area and i'm sorry because i'm sure this question has been asked to death.
I have a Galaxy S 3 Running stock with android 4.0.4 (Not rooted)
I also have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC class 10 MicroSD card (Formatted to FAT32)
I have had the phone a month and for probably the first week I was using the card in the ExFAT file format...Then random card identification problems started to pop up. So I scoured the web for a short time and found that the issue could be solved by reformatting the MicroSD to FAT32 at the expense of not being able to have single files larger than 4GB. Everything worked for a good week, then suddenly the phone didnt know I had music on it anymore, my player stopped and i confusedly navigated through songs that weren't there. I removed the card and reinserted and the files worked again.
Well today the phone is doing the same weirdness again, it is identifying that there is in fact a 64GB MicroSD and the amount of data is correct. It is also allowing me to navigate to the files in ASTRO, even my PC still detects and allows me to Add/Delete files from the MicroSD...BUT my phone will NOT use it. For example, if I go to camera and want to take a picture with the destination being the MicroSD, the phone says "What MicroSD?", also my media gallery is empty (Save for the files stored in the internal storage) and my music player is empty as well.
Anyway, I didn't know what course of action I should take. Does it sound like one or both of these items needs to be returned/reformatted/smashed with a hammer?
I am not sure if the sgs3 supports 64gb cards, i suggest you first try with a 32gb card to see if it is a card reader problem or a mmc problem

If that's the case why does it state on all the North American Cellular phone websites that the phone supports "Up to 64GB MicroSD"? Seems crazy that such a large feature could be so buggy.

The GSIII (international and US) variants do support 64 gb micro sd cards. It's advertised on the box.
It sounds like your sd card is failing you. Definitely backup all your data to a computer and think about replacing this micro sd card via manufacturer warranty.

+1. Sounds like bad card.
Ok I will try that. My next question is when I get the new sd card should I format it into the FAT32 file format?

If you want recovery access must be Fat32. Otherwise does not matter.
Thanks for the advice my good man. I'll post an update after the (hopeful) free exchange.

I bought this MicroSDXC card http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WTAJTO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 from Amazon and every so often my microSD card will vanish. It will not show anything on the card when using Root Explorer and my music will not play and data on the card will not work. A few reboots fixes the issue but it's troublesome to reboot all the time. Sometimes it even says the card is damaged and needs to be formatted to work so I just reboot again and then it works. Anyone else having issues with this card? What can I do to remedy this problem besides rebooting all the time?
I have also experienced similar issues with the same card I got off Amazon a few weeks ago. I am tempted to reformat it from exFAT to FAT32 only issuue I would have is any video files larger than 4GB won't translate since FAT has a filesize limit If you don't have this issue I would try reformatting to FAT32 (backup your card data first) I suspect you will have no problems

It does the same thing as FAT32 so I just switched it back to exFAT.
I've also noticed my clockwork mod recovery can't detect external sdcard.

CWM cannot read sdcards formated in exFAT, only FAT32.
If you need to format a 64 GB card in FAT32, a lot of people suggest using:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Maybe Samsung lied to us and the Phone can't handle 64Gb cards. Still having this issue and nothing fixes it.
I bought a 64 gb card a few weeks back when they were on sale and right out of the box I used GUIformat on my PC to format to fat32 and have never had a problem.
Maybe I'll give fat32 another chance.

It may also be that the microSD isn't that good either, and needs to be replaced. Other devices have had trouble with the 64 GB sandisk cards as well (i.e. Nook HD+ w/CM 10). But then again, the phone might just be temperamental as well.
I bought a card like this and I still can't get it to work, my computer recognizes it no problems but the phone won't, I've tried a few different formats. any suggestions?
My SD card is a bit bugged recently. Basically, the SD card won't do anything such as accessing photos or music. Also, I tried moving some apps to my SD card, but that resulted with a "CONTAINMENT_ERROR" or something like that. Also, when I try to download apps, it says that there are no space in USB or SD memory storage. I know this is wrong because I don't have a USB storage, and my SD card is 1/3 full, so how can I fix this? I think that I require a formatting on my SD, but that's a last resort, with all my info on it. If that's the only way, please suggest this with an explanation.
If this helps, I remember killing some system processes such as some sort of signing thing which I believe is what signs the apps to install onto my phone. Please help me out here. Oh yeah, I can text and call fine as well as accessing the internet and wifi. Anything involving my SD card such as downloads, however, are a different story. Got suggestions?
Have you tried a card reader on your desktop to pull photos and music from it? If so and cannot then I don't know what to tell you but if you can, pull everything you want off of it then format SD card

Yeah, I tried formatting, but it doesn't seem to remove any data. I can move files to my cpu, but when i move apps to my SD card, or at least try, it says [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_BAD_MANIFEST] Do you know what that means by any chance? The moving also says [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR] too.

I would be a bit concerned that you can't format the card. Its a good sign that the computer can read the card but not good that you can't format it. See if you can try the card in another smart phone and if you have the same issue its just a problem with the sd card.

SD card not letting me add or delete files
I've been spending waaay to much time trying to get this phone to work as I had expected with previous phones (even my LG G2x) giving me less problems. I recently bought a Sandisk 32gb, class 10 micro sd card and after transferring old music, pictures and videos from my old LG G2x with a 16gb card, placing files from my computer back onto my S4 with the 32gb card is a nightmare! Photos are transferred but too out of order to try and deal with although it's more the music problem that has me bugging. I have some success after putting about 3gb or so onto the new 32gb sd card but after that, the sd card flips out and starts using special characters for file names.. Below I attached a screenshot of what I'm going through with another app called V1 Golf for Android. I'm stuck and any help is much appreciated. I can't delete anything on my sd card nor can I add. I've reformatted this card about 4 times now without success. Some say that a Sandisk have been nothing but problems for them, you think a Samsung card could be the fix?
I just have one question for you guys. Are you using a Galaxy S 4G or the Galaxy S4? If it is the latter, please take your questions
here for T-Mobile
here for Verizon
here for Sprint
here for AT&T
and here for International
as this section is for the Galaxy S 4G. Thanks and good luck.
I recently got this new SD card from ebay, it works great when im not using it no problems but when i try to move a file over to it it will constantly unmount itself how can i stop this?
Anyone?
What phone do you have? What is the size of file you are trying to move? Ebay is a dodgy place to buy SD cards as there are a lot of fakes ones out there! Usually hacked to give a false capacity and very low quality components used in manufacture with to-good-to-be-true prices. This could be what is causing the issue. I would recommend paying the extra for an SD card from a reputable retailer or a bit of hunting on Amazon.

Apparently after contacting the sepler the card is base dos-fat every time I try reformating to nfts it freezes the only other option is exfat which it finishs quickly but dosent change the random unmounting when transfering files.
The movies I have been able to get on there play without issue so only problem is when transferring files
Exfat is still a bit of an 'iffy' format when it comes to Android devices, I would suggest formatting the card to fat32. Windows cannot natively format anything over 32gb to fat32 so I would recommend following the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041679 I have used the software in the tutorial before and it's very good. If that doesn't work then I would say more than likely it's a problem with the card.
