Hi, I have now gone through 2 cards, the first one thinking it was broke so i sent it back, and my unit is doing the exact same with my new card.
When i got my first card which was a sandisk ultra 64gb sdxc card, i thought it was originaly a bad card as my unit wouldn't see it, plus when i put it into my laptop and formatted it, it only showed as 32gb.
i exchanged that card for basically the same one, but it said made for android on it.
I put that straight into my unit when i opened it and that said the same thing on my unit, can now safely remove card, and when i went to settings > storage, there was no sign of a card, it just said mount card, and if i did this, it would say preparing card then a little after say i can safely remove it again and still show nothing.
i have now put this card back on my laptop and formatted it as fat32 (as i thought this one was going to be already seems it says its made for android devices), and again, it shows on my laptop as only 32gb and not 64gb, the file system is fat32 as well.
i have seen screen shots of people using this card in a 10.1 and their storage does show as 64gb.
i have tried using hp format utility and guiformat to format as fat32 (both show on unit but only as 32gb), i have tried using windows 7 formatter to format as exfat (which wont show in my unit), i have also tried sdformatter 3.1 which also doesn't seem to get my 64gb to show.
can anyone help, i surely couldn;t have got 2 bad cards?

Why are you cross-posting James?
lol i wasn't sure how fast i would get an answer in the other forum so i posted to both
thank you very much for your help though
What was the solution?
Edit:found the other thread
well the solution for me was to get a 32gb card as i just couldn't get a 64gb to work, i have not had the latest update either to test out a 64gb card.
Easius partition manager to format 64gb card FAT32... This will allow you to use the sd card until you get the update, it just means you're restricted to 4gb files and under....

Use that to test if card is a fake first as fake is the usual sd card problem .

I tried the H2TestW... when it opes it also only says 29 GB.
But when it was first seen by me it showed 64 GB with exFat format. Only upon using programs such as guiformat... to format it to FAT 32 it changed to the lower value.
Try formatting ntfs
Does the Note support 64GB cards? The Samsung Uk site states "up to 32GB". If anyone should manage to get it to show full 64GB, please share as I'm wanting to buy a larger card.
64 GB Card on Note 10.1
I am running a Sandisk 64GB SDcard on my Note 10.1 and it works fine.
I did install it...unmount it, format it and rremounted it.
It is a Wifi GT-N013 and the card worked under both ICS and JB.
Hope it helps
I have a 64gb sd in my 8010 reads it just fine. Strange...
Sent from my GT-N8010 using XDA Premium HD app
I have tried both a 64gb and a 32gb micro sd card and if I try to save or backup my documents on it sooner or later a few weeks down the road my Note Pro 12.2 reports that I have a corrupt card. I never take it out so that is not the cause. I do not have any apps installed on the card. I am not rooted.
All I am trying to do is keep my music, videos, pictures, and a copy of word and excel files on a micro sd card but I have no trust that my micro sd card is going to work.
I have formatted these cards using my Note Pro. I have formatted these cards using my Windows PC. But several weeks down the road I get the corrupt disk error... please reformat!
Is rooting the answer?
Any help is appreciated.
Sounds like a bad card to me. What brand is it?

This usually happens with low-class or cheap-brand cards.
In general you're best off only using class 10 or above cards by Sandisk or Samsung. Anything else is highly unstable.
I have a San Disk Class 10 64gb but my other card is a PNY Class 6 32gb. I guess I'll look at getting a Samsung? I believe I had read somewhere about this device not liking 64gb cards? Or maybe I read something about it not allowing files to be saved to external storage. Something Samsung was doing.
Anyway thanks for the input. I would like to use a 32gb card as I really don't need 64gb so if my PNY isn't going to work I need to get something that will.
How does this card look?

If that samsung is as fast as it's rated that looks like a good card.
I'm using the Sandisk Extreme Plus 64gb but have only had it for a month and a half. So far no issues but I wonder if it too will be a time bomb.

There's no issue with 64GB cards. There's no issue with 128GB either. Some of the older devices had issues with SDXC UHS-I cards, but that was over a year ago.
There is, however, an issue with Android KitKat no longer allowing non-stock apps to write to the SD card. That's Google's doing. It has nothing to do with corrupt cards.
Samsung and Sandisk cards are both excellent. Just make sure they're class 10 or higher.

What is the best method to copy delete movies to/from my micro SD card? Should I unmount it and remove it or should I power off my tablet and remove it. Or will it be better just to copy them from a USB stick to the card while the card is still in the tablet? I'm hoping to keep 10-15 movies on my card and swap them off to put more on probably every 6 weeks and I want to know which way is the best way not to harm my card.

Unmount the SD card through Settings --> General --> Storage --> Unmount SD Card.
Or connect the tablet via USBcable to the PC and copy it onto the SDcard that way. (It loads as a network device in explorer)
I've got 11 films, two shows and a handful of concerts on my MicroSD and swap regularly, I usually use one of these two methods.
For me, I use a MacBook Pro which for some reason does not allow me USB 3.0 connectivity to the tablet (driver issue I'm sure but try as I might I have never gotten it to work). I therefore use a USB 2.0 cable and Kies to copy files to the tablet that way. I'm able to pick the external card as a destination and transfer at USB 2.0 speed.

Thanks for all the help everyone. Hopefully with the new card coming Wednesday my problem will be solved.
I have and use a 64GB SanDisk Micro SD Card on my P900 and can open, copy, move files from and to the sdcard using samsung's stock file manager (My Files) without any problems.

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.

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.
Is using a microSD card simply inserting it in the 2nd SIM tray in the U11+? (Assuming it is supported like the U11 does.)
256GB max capacity?
What happens when the card is added?
Suggestions on which brand to buy?
If these questions are answered elsewhere, let me know.

The U11+ is the exact same phone as the U11 in this respect.
128Go is great already, but you can add a SanDisk ultra if you want. I kept my 128Go SD I had with the U11.

Thanks for the feedback! I will check out the microSD card you suggest.
Hello, I would definitely go with the SD card. I dont know why though but I randomly get a SD card unexpectedly disconnected error. Don't know why it happens. Its a 128gb lexar card. Im starting to think there is something wrong with my phone.
Great idea

There should an option in the camera app settings that lets you choose whether to save on the internal memory or the sd card.
That used to be the case at least.

The max for the micro sd card is 2TB, but thats abit of an overkill, considering the amount of storage
