[Q] has anyone been having sd card problems on 64gb model - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

although the tab has been out for about a month, the 64 wasn't released til March 7th (and as online order only) and the 64 white version yesterday March 14th
there's really only been enough time for a black 64 to have reached the owner's hands so far. I am not expecting to hear from a large number of people lol
anyways... I've been reading about sd card problems and how this tab is affected, but I have not ran into any such problem myself using a 64gb fat32 formatted sd card on the black 64gb NOTE pro 12.2 (Wi-Fi only). I called Samsung to ask them about it too and they nothing short of denied this problem ever existed in the first place.

I still have mine pre ordered, if that really is the case, I might have to cancel the pre order. When I called to ask why it would take this long to receive my unit, they said they had "high demands." I don't see too many people spending $850.00 for this, so there has to be a bug that they are looking into.

read the forum and my post again lol I think you got everything bassackwards
but no it ain't high demand, just the release date being later, so it wasn't even available to ship til a week ago / yesterday depending on the color you're getting

The problem isn't with one specific model, it is with anything running KitKat that hasn't been properly patched by the distributor. There is a workaround that requires root and editing build.prop.

I think there are two separate problems. One is that Kitkat disables writes to SD. The other is that some of the Galaxy tabs simply can't use 64GB uSD.
I have a 32GB Pro 12.2. It worked fine with a 32GB card from Samsung (at least, for picture storage). I rooted recently and enabled SD writes, which also worked fine for things like Titanium backup. Then I swapped in a 64GB Samsung card and have had lots of problems. I can't create folders on it with an explorer app. After a couple of pictures, the card simply fails and the camera switches to internal storage. I can unmount and remount but that doesn't do anything. At some point the tab reported a bad card.
I tried a bunch of stuff: switching to another 64GB Samsung card, low-level format, reformatting as extFAT and 64GB FAT32 with the tool from Ridgecrop, and so on. The cards both seem to work fine in the laptop but not in the tab.
I had similar problems with the cards in my Galaxy 5S, but after a few formats, one of the cards seems to be working fine now formatted as FAT32. However, at first it was corrupting pictures and losing data.
It's possible I got *two* bad Samsung uSDs, but unlikely.
Bottom line is that even if you root and follow instructions for making SD writable, you might not get a 64GB SD to work. It's possible this is fixed with the 64GB tablet.
Update! Apparently my cards were counterfeit. I just tried two new Sandisk cards and they work fine.

The fix I've found for cards not working is to make sure when you format them as FAT32, you also set them as a Primary partition rather than Logical. That solved all my SD card problems with other devices.

I have no SD card issues yet either, just received my unit on the 19th 64GB model with a 64GB microsd card from my note 2012

Micro SDHC Card

I'm updating the puny 2Gb placeholder in my Atrix 2. I finally settled on a little known name , Dane Elec, and ordered it from New Egg. Cost me $55 shipped and it's a class 10 card. They are the company making the new Duracell flash units. When I get it installed I'll come back and do a review if anyone is interested

Looking forward to your follow up.
I just ordered up a 32 gig class 10 as well. I was digging through all the data that seems to be split between the onboard and the sdhc card. I'm curious what happens with the various apps when you replace the card.

I'm pretty sure that if you mount both SD cards to your computer and copy everything from old to new, that the system has no problem carrying on with new card with more space. I have done this several times with Inspire 4G, did it once with Atrix 2 going from the stock 8 to a 16GB that I had, and will be doing it again soon with new 32GB.

So do I need to put the new card in and let the phone format it first or format it on the PC?
Let the phone format it, and then transfer the information to it. Good luck with the class 10 micro sd cards. People on the forum to include I are having issues with them. Supposedly going down to a class 4 and 6 will remove the problems the phone is having.
Taking pictures or recording video, the items will show up at as non readable. Everytime I take a pic the first pic is always bad, all of the others show up just fine. Gets annoying but i've managed to overcome it. Also when that happens all of the pictures you took after take a year to show up in the picture viewer. I have to reboot the device just to take a look at the ones I just shot.

Having a class 10 card in my phone, I concur. I have yet to get a class 4 or 6 card to replace it yet but I have heard that doing so will remedy the r/o issues the phone has. Gonna stop by Frys today and pick one up, maybe even a 16gb.

Some here, smooth sailings so far, but i don't have much on my sd card right now.
shoot, I already placed an order for a class 10, I just assumed it was higher quality, like the way cpu's are binned for speed.
Any recommendation on a specific card that works w/o trouble ?
I've been using a 16G sandisk class 6 card without any problems, glad I seen this thread because I was just about to order some class 10 cards. Guess I'll b holding off on that now.

i am using a sandisk 16 gb class 4 card that was really cheap on newegg with free shipping. i am not sure if the deal is still going on. there is a link below:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171486
I copied what I posted in another thread.
My experience has been just the opposite. I originally purchased a 16gb class 4 PNY card and I had the aforementioned read only issues. I then exchanged it for a 16gb class 10 PNY and all has been good since. and that has been about 3 weeks ago. Go figure?
New Question:
Could it be that different manufactures arrive at various class standards using different architecture? Maybe the same class of card from one manufacturer can act differently then another manufacturer? I think ultimately that it shouldn't matter which card we use if the software/hardware is correct, we should be able to put any "reasonable" card we like in the phone and it should work. Hopefully Moto will issue an update so the phones wont be so picky. By the way I love my Atrix 2 and have no desire to get anything else.

Its not that simple. It depends on the hardware.....my HD camcorder for example, it specifically states that it needs at least a class 4 card, otherwise the info cant be written to the card as fast as it needs to be and will error out. Im sure something similar is at play here. But with Motorola not specifying what class card its compatible with it becomes a trial by error. So far the most common thing among the many people who have had this problem is the class 10 card.

Yes I agree I have been playing with HD camcorders for a few years and I understand that the medium whether it is a card or a disc or tape needs to be able to keep up with data stream being sent to it. Im sure something similar is at play here as well but a faster card shouldn't give negative results? You are right that a camcorder has a "minimum" rating but although a faster card will not necessarily give any better performance it certainly shouldn't be worse or cause issues like it appears to on these phones.

Logical, but its not always like that. Example....in car audio, the head unit sends signal via rca's to an external amplifier, the higher voltage the signal, the more efficient the amp will be and the better it will sound. So logic will tell you if you can get an 8v signal to the amp then it should sound lovely since most signals are 1-2volts....well, if ur amp can only handle up to 6v signal then feeding it an 8v signal will cause the amp to go into protect mode and not work right.

I use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.1.8.0, based on recommendations on other xdadevelopers forums such as Inspire 4G. Supposedly does a more thorough format than the stock Windows 7 utility (certainly takes longer). Using this, I have had zero problem using Class 6 and Class 10 cards.

I think I shall try this now
I had my hopes up for this to work... but sadly it does not. Using a PNY 16 gb class 10 card.
It's a bust on the Dane Elec class 10 card. It doesn't say what class it is at New Egg but has a prominent 10 in a circle. Turns out that is for the warranty. It's a class 2 card, goes back today. After reading all this I may step down to a class 4 or 6.
NewEgg has a class 4 32gb card for $41 shipped ordered that based on what I've read

[Q] 64GB micro SD?

Has anyone tried a 64GB microSD card in the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus?
I have a class 10 32GB one in there at the moment, but at £37 for a 64GB I'd love to expand it further, but I don't want to pay out for one if it doesn't work!
Does anyone know if 32GB is the most it will take, or can I get a 64GB one?
I would believe the 7.0 maxes out at 32GB. 64GB is SDXC, which isn't listed on any spec sheets, only SD and SDHC.
It works fine with 64 gb, mine does.
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk 2
altho it said max is 32... The 64gb work fine...
more importantly, where from at £37.00 ?
Sorry, Google Shopping showed £37 as a price for a 64GB MicroSD, but when I got round to actually looking properly, it was an incorrectly labelled standard SD card.
Amazon are however selling them for £60 now, which means the price is coming down slowly!
I have a 64gb in mine and it works just fine.
amazon were nocking them out at £42 last week - I only bought one because I didn't believe it was genuine, even though they were supplied by amazon I was still suspicious. I wish I had taken a chance and ordered 2 or 3, because sure enough they are genuine sandisk cards and work well in all my devices - that's my tab, my xperia arc s and my Archos 70 IT2, I wish I'd bought one for each
Be careful of Class 10 or UHS 1 cards!

Just wanted to post a follow-up in this thread. At the time of these messages, the Class 6 cards were out, and it appears that they do work.
However, it's now September, and Class 10 cards are out, and they DO NOT work. The GT 7.7 people discovered (and I just "accidentally" confirmed on my stock ICS P6210) that Class 10 64GB cards get irreparably damaged when used on our Tabs. I have Class 10 cards in my S3 and Galaxy Note, and they're fine, but my P6210 just ate one on the first large file write - as has been seen on the 7.7 tabs as well!.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460201&page=7 and other posts for reference.
I've just ordered a Class 6 64GB card from Amazon, and expect no problems with it - but be warned that many people are having problems with the Class 10 cards, on the 7.7 and (now) the 7.0+ tabs.
FWIW, YMMV...
U just got to format the card to a suitable format, mine runs just fine on fat32.

Hey guys, just out of curiosity.
I have a couple of questions about the supported memory card for this device.
What is the maximum capacity supported by this drvice?
What is the fastest speed supported? (which class)

Hi, I apologize for the mistake in my previous post, she is currently using a regular SanDisk class 4 card, she had previously used the Mobile Ultra series class 10 though before she decided to use it in her T989 instead since she was having boot loop issues with the regular class 4.
I bought it from Best Buy in August when it was on sale for $40.
She had 1 issue with the card though, when she was in the process of moving the files and folders off of her pc, where she had copied the contents of the class 4 sd card she previously used in her SGS2, to her new class 10, SD card.
All was fine, until she had copied her NANDROID back up folder which was about 3 or 4 gb in size, everything else had copied over just fine.
When she copied her NANDROID back up folder to the Mobile Ultra card from her W7 laptop, where she had previously copied the class 4 card, and after one file couldn't be copied, the card became corrupted, and she couldn't read the card in her computer, phone or tablet, and formatting it didn't work at all. I even tried in my own device, and although I was able to read it, when she couldn't, it wouldn't format in my phone or tablet either.
In Windows, it said something about the file name being too long, and it would not let either of us rename or delete the file because it said that it was write protected, (it wasn't) and then sometime after that, the file name had some gibberish and was 6gb in size and we could not format it at all.
This happened with both sd cards, and so, I took them back to Best Buy and got another Mobile Ultra card that she now uses in her phone, and since then she hasn't had any issues. I also bought a USB card reader, and used the new card with it just in case the issue was with the sd card adapter it came with.
That said though, the Mobile Ultra cards, worked just fine in her T869, it was just one file that was inside the NANDROID back up folder that corrupted both cards.
I recently ordered a Team 64GB MicroSDXC card from New eggs for my Galaxy Tab Plus. Like the SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC card, the Team card is also UHS-1. I installed it in my Tab Plus, where it initially recognized it.
As I started transferring some music files, the SD card stopped responding and the dreaded "damaged SD card message" popped up. I pulled out the SD card and tried to see if I could re-format it. However, in horror, none of my Windows 7 PCs could recognize it in my SDXC card reader; even Disk Management wasn't seeing anything! At that point, I concluded that my card was toast and was ready to return it. However, I decided to try to see if I could get it to work again before returning it, considering it was brand new.
I read through the thread on 64GB cards over at the Galaxy Tab 7.7 forums (as we share the same hardware and 64GB card issues) and found that some had found success with re-creating the partition table in Linux. I used Gparted, which saw the Team 64GB card, but had some initial difficulties, as the card would not stay mounted/visible for too long. After several inserts, I finally was able to wipe the corrupted partition on the card and used Gparted's option to re-create the partition table. After doing this, the dismounting issue disappeared, but Gparted still had trouble creating a full FAT32 partition on the card. I then tried zeroing it out with dd (same command that bex0rs used for his SanDisk 64GB card in the 7.7 thread). After a lengthy process, Gparted was finally able to create a full 64GB FAT32 partition without issue.
The Team 64GB SDXC card was then able to be seen by my Windows 7 PCs and I was able to transfer over 30 GB of content to the card without issue. Even my retired DROID Incredible and Nook Color were able to read and write to it fine. However, I have not tried it in my Galaxy Tab Plus, in fears that it would kill it, so I'm keeping it in my DROID Incredible for the mean time.
In short, if you want to try to salvage your dead 64GB MicroSDXC cards, you can try this. But it definitely seems that UHS-1 cards are the culprit with the Galaxy Tab Plus/7.7 tablets and should NOT be used in those tablets.

hi i have tried 64 gb class 10 ones since there was no class 6 available at the time, and the card always got damaged after the approximately 30gb of data was copied to card. But now I can see class 6 ones on online shop but really want to make sure whether it works or not since this is also uhs-1 card. If any one of you have tried class 6 SanDisk with more than 30 gb of data then please tell me about your experience.
Does P6200 support exFAT format of 32G micro SD and be used by bitcomet to write a 10G video file?

OTA update resolved my sdcard issue

Just an fyi, I purchased the class 6 64gb card from Best Buy a while back and received the class 10 like everyone else. I knew it wouldn't work but held onto it anyway. Formatted to EXFAT after receiving the latest update and it's working great now. I haven't tried a file over 4gb yet but everything else is working perfect.
yep, this has been mentioned in the other OTA and Jelly threads. I tried a 7gb file and it worked.
Sadly, the OTA has not fixed my SD Card issue with the SanDisk Class 10 64GB card.
I am able to format it exFAT only with my Macbook. Does anyone think this will have any bearing on why my card still does not work in the Infinity?

When you say it's not working, what's happening? Does it work in other devices?
Yes, my SDXC 64GB Sandisk card works great in my Retina Macbook, Galaxy S3 and I just took the card into Bestbuy to try it on a Galaxy Note 10.1. All work perfect as advertised without problem nor error.
The card will not mount in the TF700T. Others are still having this problem too.
Asus customer service just got back to me stating that SDXC cards are not supported by the TF700T. Imagine that - flagship Android tablet doesn't support the best microSD cards. Who would have guessed!
Overnight of my new Note 10.1 is on the way!
I'll have a near brand new (1.5 weeks old) TF700T, with micro 32GB SDHC card and brand new case for sale soon

Seems a bit strange, as the TF201 could use the 64 Gb Class 10 MicroSD card just fine... I hadn't in any way expected that the newer model wouldn't support a card that was working fine in a previous model...
Yeah, it sucks.
Here is the reply that I got from Asus Technical Support not too long ago today.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------
i have a 64gb class 6. and i had issues with it prior to the update. Those issues are no longer there. I can now format my card to exfat and transfer files to and from it, within the device, without it rebooting or freezing.
No, they didn't have a TF700T on display for use otherwise I would have.
I dont believe its a problem with my specific device because others are still expressing the same problem on here too.
And my 700 works great with non-SDXC cards, but I ordered the $60 XC card so it need to work with that!
Mine still doesn't work unless its fat file system. Ntfs and exFat only allows me to use 400mb out of 32gb. I'm using 32gb sandisk SDHC card. This is ridiculous. How do they make products worse as new ones come out.
Update: Nevermind I was formatting on my Mac, had to use diskpart on my win7 PC to get it working. Issue has been resolved. Wifi copy to SD card is still slow but I guess has nothing to do with formatting. Also tried copying a 12GB mkv file and that worked as well. Thanks ASUS!!!

That is strange no doubt. When. I said my issues were resolved I was referring to the use of a MICROSDXC 64gb Class 10 card. I wonder why it works in mine and not yours. Wait, you said you're formatting on a MacBook? I think that's your problem looking at one of the responses here.

Good points guys, BUT that same formated card in OSX (exFAT) worked in my Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 with no issue. My other card, 32GB SDHC, formated in my Mac and worked just fine in the TF700T.
I have also tried formatting the card in those working Android devices and then putting it back in the TF700T with no joy.
Obviously I am not able to format the card in OSX to NTFS....
At one point I thought that formatting it in OSX might be the problem, but I dont believe so any more. I dont have any Windows or Linux boxes anymore so I guess I'm out.

[Q] 64GB Micro SD card on GT-P3113

I believe when i bought my tab, i read somewhere that it supports expandable storage up to 32GB but I recently read somewhere that class 10 64GB sd cards supposedly work on the GT2 10.1" in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684705
So I was just wondering if the same would apply to my GT2 7"?
I'm looking to get something like this http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...59672905&sr=8-3&keywords=micro+sd+64+class+10
it is a possibility...
According to the forum link that you posted as long as the micro sdcard is a Sandisk ultra class 10 then it may work. Those specific model sdcards work the absolute best with android. I have the ultra class 10 sdcard but only in the 32gig. Now that I know that there is a possibility that the 64 gigs may work I am going to buy one and try it out. I will order one tonight from amazon and when I get it I will let you know if it works. However, I have my galaxy tab 2 10.1 rooted running android 4.2.1 the CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly build. Has anyone tried the 64 gig sdcard with this upgrade?
64gb cards work fine. At least the sandis and samsung ones do. The sandisk can be had for ~$50 and the Samsung ones are ~$90 right now. Last week they were over $120.

Not for me. My tablet sees it and mounts it, Titanium Backup sees it as well but has no option of choosing it for a backup location. Some apps see it as well (Poweramp for example). None of the file browsers (even with root access) do. The card is there, but it's useless.
Make sure you reformat it in settings in the device your using it in if your having problems.

Anyone using a 128GB sdcard

Just wanted to know if anyone is using a 128GB micro sd /xd card with the s5
if so have you had any issues? are you rooted? do you have an ext4 partition?
Im thinking of getting one this week using a 28GB ext4 partition and 100GB of extra storage and copying / expanding the partitions I have on my current 64GB variant
I'm using one, with no problems

Using a cheap eBay 128gig got it for $30 works great pictures load a tad slow but not bad for the price
Oh didn't know the S5 supported SD cards that large.
I'd be very very surprised if that's really 128GB.
I would soak test it before you put data on above about 4-8GB. I would also have a good close look at the partition table.
Just speaking from experience unless that's a second user one that's about a half to a third of the best prices out there.

Using top dollar sandisk 128gb card. works flawlessly. no issues at all. wish I could figure out how to get burst photos to go straight to card.
This is the card I'm using. Been running it for a few months with no problems whatsoever.
128 Gb works just fine. It's class 10 sdcard. No issues. Unrooted+rooted.
Tried this card on a lg g pro 2 though. There i had a lot of problems.
I thought the S5 could only handle 64GB memory cards? I'm using a 64GB sandisk one and it works perfectly! In my opinion thats more than enough and I got it at a good price :fingers-crossed:
Just got the 128 gig card, so far so good, no problems, actual available mem on the card is 119gig, Using it on the Sprint S5 variant

Please do that check before you start taking irreplaceable pictures. This is what I use, takes forever, but well worth the wait.

thanks I will look into testing it
Adata 128gb sdhc??
so this is the card that I bought off ebay. Ebay you say...... well its a huge piece of ****. to start it is a fake, found that out when I started to write to it and after it reached around 8GB it started to overwrite what was already there! SD card test app confirmed it. check before you buy, some fakes can be identified easily. below is what ADATA replied to me when I had asked them WTF was wrong my damn card. like it mentions below, check the manufacturers website for any pictures of the cards and related packaging and descriptions. bottom line is you get what you pay for. A $20 card is far from a $100. for me the card was cheap so I was willing to risk it, but I saw some Samsung cards as high as $80 and they were also fakes. Ill wait for the price to go down, and get it from a local reputable retailer.
Thank you for contacting ADATA.
You mentioned that you have a 128GB MicroSDHC memory card. However, ADATA has not manufactured any MicroSD memory cards that has exceeded the capacity of 64GB (please visit the following link to our current memory card product offerings):
http://www.adata.com/index.php?action=product&cid=7&lan=en&cid1=3
Also, MicroSD memory cards with capacities of 64GB and above are categorized as MicroSDXC, not MicroSDHC.
There’s a suspicion that you might have purchased a counterfeit product. To verify, please compare your item against the product images we have listed on our web pages. We could assist you with identifying the product as well if you could send us images of your product.
no, i haven't fill up my 16 gb internal yet :v
Using 128GB Class 10 on my Verizon S5 and have no issues at all.
Biggest problem I had was transferring files from previous 32GB to the 128GB (A lot of files, took a while).
I am also rooted and I have to say being rooted is better with the bigger (or any) SD card that way you can use the SDFix app and allow file browsers to write to SD.
I'm using a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB card for now but will jump to 128 GB sooner rather than later since it seems everyone has had good luck with using legit cards. I'm kind of waiting for a sub-$100 deal, though.
Anyone find any discounted 128gb SD cards on Amazon or anything?

It should just work, storage is storage. I am not sure what in the software, memory IO, or processors would make much of a difference. My 64GB samsung Class10 card works in the oldest of old devices that I have as far as android phones go, no problem. Even back in the android 2.3 OS. My Mifi hotspot even accepts and shares my 64gb sd cards' contents over DLNA.
I bought 128 micro sd adata and I have one problem whit videos, when I copy or move any video from my internal memory to micro sd that videos don't play on my s5 video player. Anyone has solution for this problem??
