32gb sd card

Hi guys im having an issue with a 32gb Kingston sd card, whats happening is that everytime i add files to my sd card from my computer it will show them to me that they are there. But once i put the sd card in my phone the new files i transfer wont appear :/. Ive formatted my sd card already like couple times and still does the same. Never did that to my 8gb card, and top of that when i transfer all my data from the 8gb to the 32 only half transferd and when back n fourth doing it folder per folder and just wouldnt show anything on the phone. Any suggestions, thank you

Going to take a guess and say you're on CM? If so I had problems with my 32GB too but on stock roms it works. I had to get a 16GB to use under CM. I'm not sure of the problem but there was my fix

Are you rebooting the phone after putting back the microsd? Sometimes that works.

As matter fact havent tried on Cm, im on MIUI right now. But im giving it one more try with the formatting see what happens if not will go to Eagle Blood see how that goes.

Yeah im since i noticed my sd card wouldnt show up unless would have to reboot. some files have been transfering but like awhile ago i d-loaded the files that needed for the game Modern combat 2 and after finished i rebooted or just quit playing and tried playing again and have to be redowloading the files over and over again since nothing stays on my sd card :/

That sucks, sounds like a bad sdcard. You still got the receipt?
I got my 32gb lexar class 10 with USB SD reader for just under 50 and its been issue free. Never liked Kingston products.

Tried formatting it using the phone itself? Miui is based off cm7 so that could be the issue as well.

Won't let me format it from phone since as soon as I put it in tells me "safely to remove card now" so kinda like automatically ejectects itself when I put it in. N got another problem :/ I bitlocked the sd card in my windows 7 laptop and as I was transferring files my wire was loose and we'll lost the connection and of course gave me files transfer error. But the problem now is that since I bitlocked the sd card won't let me get in it anymore, even though i put my password I put for the sd card. Just says something error with files and blah blah ;/. Can't even format or or anything anymore ;/

Found the solution for this problem with the bit locker > I mounted my sd card on my xp SP3 and formatted it and gave me the ize of 514mb i was like what. But i still did it and when i mounted it on my windows 7 i formatted again and this time showed me the 32gb size . So now its working properly.yeah buddy.

Moving from Weapon X to Miui rom my sdcard was detected fine but then after a couple of days of using Miui I wasn't able to open up sdcard when connected to my pc. It shown that usb is detected on my phone.
It only work when I restore back to WeaponX. I tried flashing different Miui roms, EagleBlood and PhoenixBlood. None detect my sdcard on pc except for WeaponX. I also tried to format my sdcard. Didn't work.
Anyone got any suggestion??

Try reinstalling ure usb drivers or not just restart the computer that would help with me. Or have you tried it with a card adapter?

If you've tried it both with the USB cord and with an sd card reader, it might just be a bad sd card. This happened to me with a Samsung 16gb. I couldnt add or delete anything on it. Simply had to get a new sd card. Try out Lexar or PNY if you want a good one.

Odd Issue With a Micro Sd

Hey guys this is my last place to turn before I just go buy a new one but I want to see if anyone at all can help me.
I have a Sandisk 32 GB Class 4 Micro Sd. I bought it off a guy on the xda marketplace and it was in the factory packaging and took me a half hour to get out so I doubt it was fake unless people forge the packaging.
Well the other day I went to copy a file onto the card by mounting it to the computer. It copied just fine but when I unmounted the card and went onto the phone the file was no where to be found. This was off to me so I mounted the card again and it opened fine but there was no file. I then copied it again and it said it worked like it normally does. i unmounted then mounted right away and guess what the file didn't exist.
This is where it gets interesting.
I then mount the card again and select everything and delete it all. It says it works fine. I then disconnect the card then mount it again and guess what all the files are back. Like nothing happened. I then proceed to format in windows by right clicking and hitting format. It didnt do anything. I then go into recovery on the phone and try and format it. Nothing happens. I then connect the card directly to the computer with a micro to sd card adapter that is made by sandisk. It mounts to the computer fine. I then go into Easeus Partition Manager and click format. It finishes and comes up with an error saying There are some error occurred while writing partition chains on disk.
If anyone has any idea please help.
UPDATE: I have contacted Sandisk and they are going to send me a brand new card.

Is the card detected by the mobile?
If yes, try to format it in the mobile itself with the format option.
Also check how much space it shows , before & after formatting.

Try low level format

Could be a duff card but sometimes I have had this if the card has not been fully un mounted try waiting a couple more minutes before removing the card to give the system time to fully un mount it
Or it will not be written to.

Did you press eject USB every time you pull the cable? Not doing it can corrupt your card

dont mean to sound like a **** but you do realize I posted this over two years ago right?
but anyway the card was defective so sandisk sent me a new one.

Nooooo. This is the same issue I'm having! Ugh... mine is a 64 gb and we're about to go on a long trip. I wanted to add more music. And I can't afford to buy one from the local stores. They're too expensive! :'(
I bought mine from GeekBuying.

Galaxy S3 wont read 16gb micro sd?

So I have a 16b micro sd card that came with my OG Droid 2 years ago. I formatted it with fat32 and exfat and trying both still cant be read by my S3. If I insert it in, the S3 doesnt read anything (and no trace of any sd card being there). I also have another 16gb sd card that is class 4 and it also cant be read. I know both SD cards are working fine because they still work on my Droid but for some reason it wont on my S3.
Could it be because I partitioned both cards? I've already formatted it and got rid of the partition so idk. And whats weird is that my 2gb sd card from like 4 years ago works and is readable on my S3. Could someone help?

I would reformat on your computer again, I have had no issues with any SD card on my S3.

I had same issues with an old card that had barely been used.Broke down & bought a Samsung card.Cost extra cpl $ but have had 0 problems since.

Anyone get a solution to this? Just bought a brand new 32GB class 10 MicroSD, I formatted exFAT and NTFS using my computer but NTFS isn't read on the card and exFAT keeps getting the "unexpectedly removed" notification every 5 seconds...
Fat32 means I can't store files larger than 700mb right? i.e. a hi-res movie won't work?

Fat32 is the only way i could get my 64gb ultra -1 card to be read in cwm. Use the program from ridge crop. I believe your limited to files no larger than 2 or 4gb, cant remember off hand.

4GB. Movies if not compressed may need to be split or run from Internal. Good reason for having 32GB internal.

Haha I actually didn't see what you posted I could have tried that. Probably will when I get my class 10 SD card if it can't be read. And my siblings are apple/iphone lovers because they don't know how great Android is. I'm just glad they had there laptops. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to root, and unlock my phone cause my windows couldn't run bat files for some reason...

I have had a hell of a weekend trying to get my new 64gb card recognised by my SGS3 after swapping from Omega rom to AOKP. Turns out roms based on Cyanogen Mod dont recognise exFAT formatted cards and so corrupt them. I eventually managed to reformat my card using EaseUS partition manager but my phone still wont recognise it. Im going to flash back to Omega 31.1 in the morning and hopefully solve most of the problems. I know the card works fine because after formating it my Acer A500 recognises it, as does my PC. Problems is my phone isnt recognising any MicroSd cards now, so hopefully havent busted it or ill have to flash back to stock rom and swap it out at Tesco's.

Micro sd help!

My card seems to become invincible...
Everything stays on it...music n videos...even if you try formatting with Windows or Partition Magic..
Wipe partition,Chkdsk,Delete partition....Everything Fails.
Card is again reverted back to its old state with those samne old files....
2 or 3 episodes of series seems to never let go...
I am tired of it....
Plz help...anyone!!

If the sd card is new try bring it back to were you got it from for a replacement.
Sometimes it not worth you trying to fix things thst are new.
If not sorry I cant help.
I hope its not one of them sdcard that have been adjusted to say one thing and does another

When asking for help it is generally beneficial to tell us all details. So..........
Can you tell us what brand card it is as well as size and what file system you formatted it to?
Have you tried SD Formatter

Some sd cards have a small pin to move to make them read only... try flipping it.
Otherwise the card must be faulty. Did u try mini partition?

Apparently the SanDisk cards have been having issues. I just sent mine in because my tablet wouldn't recognize it. I kept getting a sd card error message for a few months but it would eventually get recognized until last week where no matter what I tried, it just wasn't getting picked up by my tablet.
If I were you, I would send it in before the warranty expires unless you it says ultra on it which I think is a lifetime warranty but at least call them up and see what they have to say.

[Q] Can't mount SD card on computer

I am trying to move everything from one SD card to another one. I figured using the computer would be the quickest approach vs trying to use the tablet.
However, the original SD card won't mount on the computer. It says it needs to be formatted. So now I'm not sure the best approach. I'm sure I'll figure something out before I get an answer here since I don't have the patience to wait , but would like the answer for future reference.
There are a few threads on sd cards but didn't find a good answer.

What kind of computer and what version OS are you running? Also what brand of SD card and how big is it?
.

Windows 7 computer. Both cards are Sandisk. The original that computer wont recognize is regular sdhc. New one is sdhc ultra. Both are 32gb

So they are SD not Micro SD. What brand card reader do you have?
Do you have Kies on your Win7 Computer? I had some issues with sandisk memory when kies was running so I uninstalled it and everything is now fine.

MicroSD. I had enough memory in the tablet that I just ended up copying the data from the original card into memory and then swapping cards. It appears the problem was a defective microSD adapter card. Used a new adapter card and it worked. Ugh.
