problem with micro sd on tablet - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i formatted a sandisk 64gb micro sd to put into my tablet and start copying files to the micro sd via the memory card reader, there is nothing on the card prior to transferring the files but as soon as the green bar goes up it cancels and gives a 0x80070037 error with unrecognised device and prompts me to check the micro sd for errors, i proceed to do so and it finds nothing, i retry a couple of times and i get the same error, i try different memory card readers and cables and they all give the same error.
i then attempt to transfer my files while the micro sd is in the tablet and surprisingly it's transferring the files fine, i'm a bit confused by that and i was wondering if anyone can give some hindsight as to what is going on?
there is obviously a problem with the micro sd because i can't get any data on it while it's in the memory card reader and i will have to get a new micro sd card eventually, i'm not buying anymore sandisk memory after this, reason why is because my 32gb micro sd also by sandisk has the same problem, both brought within 9 months of each other, that's £60 down the drain, for now the 64gb will have to do till i buy a new micro sd card but this is just ridiculous, i wasted 4 hours trying to sort this problem out with no progress and i'm exhausted, any ideas or solutions would be helpful.
i've tested my usb ports extensively (so it can't be the usb ports causing the problem), and formatted the sandisk micro sd cards multiple times (to no avail), i've tried 2 different usb drives, and 3 different micro sd cards from samsung and a no name brand and they transfer the same data fine, but as soon as i plug in the sandisk and transfer the data to them i get the errors so i've pinpointed out where the problem lies, i just want a solution to sort all of this out so any help would be grateful.
if i get any changes in the situation i will update in this topic.

Just a update, contacted amazon and will be getting a refund for both micro sd cards, thanks god for that, won't be buying SanDisk ever again after that.

Unreconized device is it has lost connection to your tab. I've had the same problem. Installed a new usb 3.0 card and plugged into that, and the problem went away. if you watch my computer you will see your device disappear and reappear.

i tested out both micro sd cards on a memory card reader not from the tablet and the data transferred fine when the micro sd card was installed on the tablet, amazon have agreed to refund the 64gb sandisk but not the 32gb micro sd unfortunately i'm going to buy a usb 3.0 memory card reader and see if i get better results with the 32gb micro sd, not confident that i will though, just going to use the 32gb for something else till it dies, nothing else i can do with it, they can't replace it because it's over a year old and i left it too late.
just plugged in the 32gb micro sd card now and the memory card is not disappearing and reappearing in my computer like you said, the only time i get problem is when data is copied to it then the device disappears.

[Q] Need help for undetected SanDisk Micro SD

Recently, I just bought a 16GB Class 10 SDHC Sandisk Micro SD Card which came with an adapter. When I inserted it in my HDH it cant be detected and the result with my computer. I cant format it , cant store data on it. Can anyone help? Did I get a fake card , but i get it from a PC fair
sounds defective to me mate

MicroSDHC not recognized...

When i got this tablet, it came with a 16 GB Lexar Micro SDHC card. The only problem is that my TF-101 doesn't recognize it even though it says preparing External Storage. I have a SD card adapter, but idk if it will work with a SDHC, so idk if I can format it to Fat32. Any ways to solve this?
Plug it into a PC if you can, and check what filesystem its formatted as. Then try reformat it to fat32.
And just to clarify, the "HC" part in SDHC simply stands for "High Capacity", which generally means SD cards larger than 2GB.
Some devices can have issues with certain SDHC cards (like my Wii and my N7B), but to my knowledge TF101 is not one of those devices.
Of course, that said, that doesnt mean some weird china-knockoff brand will work, but Lexar isnt that bad and shouldnt pose any issues imo.
So uh, yea, try reformatting it to fat32.
I've several MicroSD cards. One of them, a 16GB one, is unable to work with TF using internal slot. The card works in my PC under Linux and/or Win7, but NOT in TF using internal slot. If I plug an external SD reader in the dock USB port, card is read without any problem.
Of course my other cards work like a charm with internal slot. Why? I don't know.
My solution: use this 'special' SD microUSB card in other device and buy a new one with my TF.
My Lexar 32gb class 10 quit working suddenly as well...the past couple of days it has not been recognized when in the micro SD slot BUT when I put it in an adapter and insert it in my dock it will work just fine. The only thing I have changed was update to the latest OC ICS kernels...wonder if that's the issue?

[Q] sd card not recognized in TF but it is in Dock

Hey everyone,
Im not sure whats going on but my 16gb micro sd card is acting strange. My TF doesnt recognize it at all (not while running, not in recovery, etc) but if I put it in my sd card in the dock it will see it. Also, when I put it int my computer it sees it when I am using a sd card adapter.
I have tried other micro sd cards and they work fine in ym TF, so im thinking its something with the card but not sure. Anyone have any ideas what I can do to make my TF see this micro sd card?
Well the first thing you should try is reformatting it to fat32.
Its weird it works in the dock though ...
ya i tried reformatting it but it still doesnt recognize it
I have the same problem, since today my micro sd card is not shown anymore. I did not do anything with it before, not even removed it or whatever...what can I do to be able to use it again? :-(
Im not sure....i have tried everything but thinking that its the card itself since I can use other micro sd cards just fine. Sucks since that was my 16gb card. Im going to keep trying and if I find anything then I will let you know.
Is it any card or a specific card that doesnt work?

faulty microsdhc card reader on TF700?

I just got my Sandisk Ultra 32gb microsdhc UHS-1 (Class 10) card from http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007XZM6VG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 today and my TF700 (rooted) is unable to mount the SD Card. Everytime I try to "Mount External Storage" from settings, it displays "Preparing External Storage" for 1 second and then disappears, with no SD card mounted. I've formatted this SD card using FAT32 (4kb, 8kb, and 16kb cluster sizes), NTFS, and exFAT file systems as well as using my phone (Droid X) and none of them have been able to be mounted on my TF700, although the FAT32 formatted SD card was able to be mounted/recognized by my Droid X. However, I'm still not even sure if it's a faulty card or a faulty card reader because my TF700 was perfectly able to recognize and mount my phone's 16gb microsdhc card (class 2 or 4) without any problems.
I've read in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761861) that people were having some trouble using microSDXC cards, but the one I have is just microSDHC (UHS-1), so there shouldn't be any problems recognizing it. Does anyone else have any idea what the problem might be?

Everyone's having issues with microSD cards lol...Strange that SDHC and SDXC both aren't working right. Does anyone else have a SDHC card that is working? I can look at it when I get my tablet tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I have a SDHC card laying around.
I've just confirmed that my 32gb class 10 (UHS-1) card formatted in FAT32 works on 2 separate phones but is not recognized by my TF700 (32gb grey model). I've also confirmed that the TF700 is able to recognize and mount two separate 16gb microsdhc cards (class 2 or 4, obviously not UHS) formatted in FAT32. I'm beginning to wonder if it's just the UHS-1 compatibility that's causing the problem (maybe TF700's are not compatible with UHS speeds?) or if 32gb is too much for the TF700.
I have a 32gb microsdhc (and no at the moment I can't tell you anything about the class or speed or whatever) but I can say it works fine where my 64gb sdxc won't mount.

It looks to me like people are specifically having issues with UHS-1 cards. There's like a 6 page thread about it in the General forum. I know my 16GB microSDHC (not UHS-1) works perfectly fine.
im trying to buy one on amazon, can anyone post a 32gb that works

did you use SDFormatter to format the card? it might be good idea to do so prior to initial use.
My 32gb class 2 SDHC works fine. but my 64gb sdxc, which was fine in my xoom, is not recognized. Both are formatted the same
This is interesting. I have a dock and when I put the microsd into the SD converter, it works great. But if I take it out of the converter and put it in as a micro into the pad, the pad knows it is there, but will not mount it. This is very strange.
I found that the micro slot handles a 32gb card just fine, but not the 64 gb card. The SD slot in the dock handles all cards. I hope they come out with an update that corrects this.
Microsd card Lexar 32gb
I have the Microsdhc 32gb class 10 from Lexar i bought from amazon. This works fine, but just got my scandisk 64gb in mail today(uhs-1 class 10) and the tf700t doesnt recognize it like the rest of u guys. guess ill put it on my phone for now until they fix this issue.
I had the same problem with my kingston 16GB HC4 card.
My old 4GB HC6 card worked, but my 16GB not.
Reformatted with sdformatter and it didn't worked.
Changed the label of the card from "ASUS 16GB" to "16GB", and behold, it worked.
Tried to change the label back to "ASUS 16GB" and it is still working.
Strange problem...
Future firmware update will fix it.

Micro SDcard receptacle
I can top some cards not working. Got my TF700 Wednesday and was pleased that everything seemed to be ok. Started to insert Micro SD and discovered the slot was empty. No receptacle was in the slot. Card was flush withtablet body, had to retrieve it with a pin. Replacement on the way. Asus needs to give little stickers to QC inspectors so they can tell who lets this kind of thing through. UPDATE: Asus tech told me to use small object to press edge piece of metal inside MicroSD slot. Viola the receptacle is alive and working.

ASUS TF700T 32GB Grey
I have tried:
2GB SanDisk (normal Micro SD)
4GB SanDisk SDHC
16GB SanDisk SDXC
Also took the card out of my RAZR Maxx and it too did nothing in the device.
I also note that there is absolutely zero indication that I have even plugged anything into the slot. There no message "preparing media" that I have seen others post. I also do not see any option for preparing any external storage from the menu in settings.
I am wondering if the slot is bad, or the device has issues with SanDisk cards.

Transfer old SD data to new SD

I seem to be having some trouble transferring all my old stuff from my micro SD to my new Samsung brand SD. I just got a galaxy s5 and am using a 16g card which is full and I purchased a 64g samsung card from Verizon. I took the card from my phone and copied the data using USB reader on laptop to a file. Then I insert new card and drop the data to the new card. Here is where it gets weird. When I put the new card in my phone it deletes my DCIM stuff and corrupts any new photo I take... Why is this happening...?
Format the new card and do the transfer again. If the problem persists, either your SD card reader is broken (I have had problems before with cheap readers. Don't buy cheap readers) or the card is broken.
Thanks I tried everything there it to try, I think the card is a fake. Got it off eBay in a sealed packege but the packege didn't seem very authentic. Payed $15 for it.
