My phone never rebooted, I have a 128 GB SanDisk Class 10 sd card. But after like a few weeks or months I got a sd card error and soon after that I couldn't access any files on it.
Only rebooting solved the issue, but once I got it it would occur more often and often, sometimes every 2 days and sometimes multiple times a day. Formating the SD card made it work again for a few months until it started all over again.
I formated it to different formats (in windows), I also formatted it with the phone itself, nothing helped.. I'm constantly running out of space now because I only store my music and photos on the sd card.
I never tried a different sd card long enough to recreate the problem, but I used this sd card for a few months on a different device.
If someone fixed this please help me I'm so tired of this :crying:
I have a 128Gb Sandisk in my Mate 7, runs with no issues at all. Maybe clean your contacts?

To be honest I never tried it lol, but if rebooting the phone solves the issue I don't understand how dust or dirt could be the problem. I will try it anyways, maybe it works :cyclops:

Cleaned the sd card and the sd card slot as good as possible, but after a few days I had the same problem again... Maybe my sd card is broken but I can't really test it so I guess I'll live with this forever...
Just now it came to my mind that I could've bought a fake SanDisk card, even though I got it from amazon. I will test it tomorrow I think.
Maybe.
How is it formatted? Probably most compatible to format to FAT32.
I have a 64Gb card in an old phone that was supposed to take a maximum of 32Gb and it works fine when formatted the right way.

It is formatted exFat right now, I formatted it quite a few times since i got the card so I don't know whether I always had exFat or not. I'm checking the SD card now for it's real capacity, with 100 GB left it will take 8 hours, but if it's really a fake card it should cause errors way earlier I think. If that's not the problem I'll wait until I have time to flash KangVIP, then I'll re-format the sd card and do some cleanup while I'm at it.
i bought a 128gb samsung evo+ sdcard and working great so far

I have just taken delivery of my Touch Pro. I inserted my 8GB into slot (correctly) however, when I go to memory/storage card it says not installed.
Any comments, help or ideas most welcome. The card is Sandisk and was working in the phone I took it out of.
How is the card formatted, what phone did you use it in?
likely the card... but try another?
i just put a 16Gb micro sdhc in yesterday after direct copy from my 2Gb to the 16Gb, popped it in and it was fine (had to reinstall iGo but nothing else needed to be done with all other apps installed in phone memory)
Sounds like it needs formatting perhaps? Hard to think what else could be going on there, but TP took my 8GB card without problems, and is now running with my 16GB card without problems.
like a few other people said already...formatting...that should do it!
I did excatly the same thing with a 8GB Sandisk Ultra. It worked first time no problem.
There are A LOT of fakes on eBay which are incredibly hard to distinguish - I got a Sony Memory Stick that just had lots of write and read errors and just stopped working. You might wanna check if the problem persists.

Place it in a computer, right click over the drive icon, format.
I formatted my Touch Pro 2 with Fat32 format, and it will only see 8G and it's a 16G. What's the deal?
Hi
I'm hoping someone can help me, I've just purchased a new 64GB Micro SDXC UHS-1 to use with my new Sony Xperia Z3. But I'm having a lot problems, the phone keeps saying "Damaged SD Card Please format the card" however the Card works fine on PC. I have tried formatting from the phone still says the same thing. I have tried both Fat32Format GUI and EaseUS partition to format the card to FAT32. As far as I can tell its FAT32 but the phone still wont accept it and keeps saying Damaged SD Card.
Unfortunately, I don't have another SD card to test the phone, so before I take the phone back or get another SD card I want to make sure I've tried everything or see if this is common issue that someone might have a solution for. I have also tried restoring the phone using the Sony PC Companion.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
It keeps corrupting all my sandisk ultra 64gb micro sdxc cards. I've read atleast one on Xperia care forum with issue. Including ones I've used for ages in other devices
I have no problem with my high speed Sandisk Extreme Plus 64GB.
The easiest way to tell whether it's the phone or the SD card would probably be to test another one... I have a 64GB Samsung PRO and it has worked great for me.
Did you try format it to exFAT?

Yes I have tried exFat and tried NTFS even though I knew it wouldnt work but thought I would try anyways..
Wait ExFat works?
Does this apply to all Z3's or just specific ones? I have a 64gb sandisk ultra microsd card and want to use for my Z3 that I am purchasing. Do I actually have to root it or will it just work if I put it in the MicroSD slot? I thought it supported up to 128gb.
Also, I've been reading the forums and found posts of people with gap issues and light showing on the sides. Do any of you have these issues?

ExFAT has better limitation than Fat32.
If the phone doesn't support NTFS, can consider the exFAT.
Ok so i've resolved the issue (so to speak), the hard I was trying was a Strontium Nitro 64GB, which does not work with the Z3 it works with the Z1 though (strange). So I purchased a SanDisk Ultra and that is working now with no problems.
I dont have any issues with Gaps or light showing on the side.. I have put the phone under the tap for a few mins and havent had any problems.
I have a PNY 64GB MicroSDXC I and am experiencing the exact same issue. The phone reads other 4GB sd cards but absolutely refuses to read the 64GB one no matter how I format it. Reformatting it through the phone prompt does not work. It just pops up with damaged sd card please try formating every time I have it try to fix it. The sd card reads fine on multiple windows pc's. I have tried formatting it as exFat and Fat32(which windows wouldn't let me do...had to use a 3rd party utility) and neither worked.
H2testw verified card (passed) caused my MT7-L09 to reboot spontaneously over and over again until I remove the MicroSD card. This started yesterday probably after I installed a few more apps. These have since been removed. Card has about 62.4GB out of 119GB, used 56.5GB. Formatted to exFAT on Windows 7. Working fine for about 2 weeks until yesterday.
I bit the bullet and hard reset the phone this morning. Clicked the MicroSD card back into the slot and loh and behold, it started to restart again!
Anyone have the same problem? Using a Sandisk SDXC-UHS-I card here. Its not hardware fault with the MicroSD card slot because replacing the 128GB card with a 64GB card presents no such problem.
Edit: Inserted the card into my Note 3. Card presented no problems at all.
Have u solved this problem yet? Im thinking of buying the 128gb sandisk ultra with the 48mbps read speed to be used in the Mate 7. Is this the same sandisk microsd card you are using?
I am proud owner of MT7-T10 who is having exactly the same problem after inserting newly purchased 64GB Sony UHS-I Class 10 microSDHC Card. In fact, I actually bought 2 of these type of sd - I have not tried replacing it with my wife's sd card - must do this test to flag out DOA (defective on arrival) sd card.
It was working just fine until the sd card is half full. I tried factory reset and reformatted the sd card and the issue reoccurs after transferring all my data back to sd card (i have not tried without removing sd card thou). Since the unit was still under warranty, I took initiative and brought the MT7 to Huawei service centre and even demonstrate the issue. They happily replaced with a new unit but even that had the same problem out of the box. I also asked if they have any list of compatible sd card supported on MT7. The front desk simply mentioned that it usually kingston, but there isn't any black & white papers or sites to support that statement.
I also came across forums emphasizing to use only popular branded sd card and sandisk was one of them. Since you are having the same problem even with sandisk, I won't be surprised if kingston too have this problem. Or may be it is MT7 sd slot defect by design. :fingers-crossed:
As overall, I'm happy with MT7. Extending the storage using sd card would have been a added advantage but this is not the case at the moment. :good:
No such problems on my Sandisk 128 GB Class 10 - had been using it on the phone for past 4 months

I did it twice but the problem persist.
i experienced that before, but in xperia and old s3. It happened due to runaway media-scanner process. somehow it kept running scan all the time from the start. It didn't cause bootloop / restart, but it literally hanged my phone that time
I'm not 100% sure but i read somewhere that Huawei recommended to use 32 gig capacity Max. Or you could experience bugs.
I have the same problem btw, with a Samsung Evo 64 gig...

It looks like phone manufacturers takling bullcrap !
They will tell you ; yeaah it supports 64/128gb card ..but they won't tell u it will do problems.. so in reality phones may be cannot manage larger sd than 32gb ?

I had only about 11GB space left ... I don't think space usage is any issue. It boils down to quality of the card
Starting to have doubts about the Mate 9 now, among other software bugs I've noticed I've just found out today after using a micro sd card in this phone after an hour or 2 the phone starts to lag badly and slowdown ! card is fine in pc, Toshiba exceria class 10 128gb card, when I remove the sd card everything speeds up when I reboot, scrolling and performance lag like hell with an sd card, anyone confirm this is the case ? just wasted £40 on a card I can't use !
Does it have a lot of files on it? Could be it's still indexing all you files. Can take a long time before it's finished. I used to get that on other phones as well.
No it's a brand new card. incidently the card was formatted in exFat in windows, I tried a few times formatting by default and the phone would lag badly after an hour or 2 so I tried formatting the card in NTFS and fingers crossed it's lagging anymore, card been in all night with no slow downs, I have no idea if this is the case, but from my findings Android OS has problems with either large sd cards or the exFat file system choking it.

Why don't you do the format inside the phone and let the phone decide which file system to use.
I did try after the 2nd lag time and it still started to lag after a while, only when i formatted the card on my pc to NTFS and it's still not lagging.
When I use a new or used microsd card on my phone, I firstly format it using the phones storage manager. This usually fixes any problems with the card
I had the 200gb sd card in the phone with about 10gb of mp3 files and never notice any lag or slow down on the phone. Perhaps try another sd card to see if same problem.

I've tried formatting with the phone's utility but that didn't work, it's been fine for a day now since formatting into ntfs.

Spoke too soon, I give up, it started to lag and slow down again after a couple of days, I don't know what's wrong but this is the 1st time I've tried an sd card with a phone and it will be my last, even when it did work the phone was pathetically slow at unlocking with a micro sd card in, thought I was using my N6p again ! now got a £40 128gb paperweight (and not a good one at that !)
Hi all, My S7 no longer sees the 32gb micro SD card. I have removed and cleaned it, gone into safe mode just to see if it's a rogue app was causing the problem. It's still under warranty. Before I go down that route any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Did you install the "Prime" Kernel ? That was the same to me and this Kernel was "guilty"
Install another Kernel and your SD should be recognized
Sorry should have said "It's out of the box no root". Don't know when it failed to read but yesterday in the maintenance app it didn't show. I have also cleared the cache, just wondering if a Factory reset would fix it?
Does the card work in a PC?
If yes, back it up, wipe it (Delete partitions > create new primary partition > format to FAT32) try it back in the phone, if it works copy your stuff back to it
If it works in PC but not phone, try another card in the phone, if that doesn't work RMA the phone
When I get home from my sons in Bristol will do as you say won't be for a few days. I did a Google and looks like there are a few of us having the same problem. Not quite sure when but think after last SW update a week ago or so, just noticed after!
Thanks.
Just got home and found another micro sd card only 2gb but the phone now sees it. The old card was a genuine Samsung 32gb the only problem is that I don't seem to have a micro card holder to see if the PC will see it. As they are quite cheap now what is the max memory size that will work in the phone and any recommendations?
Thanks.

Good stuff, just going from what it says on Samsung's site, and Android Central
Have you managed to fill all 256GB and have it all readable?
Wow 256GB card could fit the whole of the world's populations data and then some. I am going for a 64GB card with the internal 32GB that will be more than enough for me.
