Micro SD Problem VOX/S710

i've recently got my hands on a VOX/s710 phone
my last phone before this used micro SD cards, it was a nokia
when i try to put my nokia micro SD into my VOX, it doesnt recognize, but, as soon as i put it on a nokia, other phones like a palm, etc, it recognizes
is there a problem between nokia branded micro SD cards with HTC?
i tried another brand of micro SD and it worked perfectly
any ideas?
cheers

Initially I tried a NOKIA micro SD card with my Vox and it worked fine.

hum, tks for the reply
so no clues at what the problem might be?
guess if i dont resolve this, ill have to buy another micro SD card

May be, you give a try by formatting the card using a card reader from a Windows PC. That might help.

Yes, make a backup and format to FAT32 (also useful if you want to flash from sd card)! Then put your files back on the card and try again!

thanks for the tips
fortunately, i dont have any indispensable information on the microSD card, i didnt use it a lot, since it was a 1G card, and i had a 2G on my older nokia.
i'm going to try and format it and then post the result hopefully it will work
but since i dont have a memory card reader right now, im gonna try and put it on my old nokia, connect it to the pc and try to format it from there, or format it from inside the nokia phone.
ill figure out something
thanks again for the tips
cheers
=========
tks for the tip tryed it right now, and now its working fine
many thanks both of you for the help!

I have 2 GB microsd card installed. Is it possible to install a 4Gb card or more? Who tried? Does it support SDHC?
Funny thing, I've got an answer from htc support, they say 2Gb is the only possible amount supported

I dont know exactly how to do it search the forum, but i know that there is a thread that says that partion 4gb (using WM5torage that thread tells how to) and then you can use it.

the vox supports SDHC microSD up to 8Gb, found this in www.pocketpc.ch (will post the link l8 when back on my pc).
i'm using a sandisk SDHC 4Gb fat32 formatted, works perfect! i will buy a 8Gb soon and post the results here .
edit: http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-s710/39075-8-gb-micro-sd-htc-s710-moeglich.html the forum is in german there....

remembered to post this note, after fomarting the sd card, it worked well
just another question though, you guys are talking about 4 and 8 gigs sd cards
doesnt having a much bigger sd card slow down the phone? i've heard of such rumours but never got the chance to tested myself, and since i'm willing to make a sd upgrade i would like to know if its better to stick with a 1 gig or 2 gigs sd card, or i can go ahead and get a 4 or 8 gigs?
cheers

so, finally i bought this fine 8Gb microSDHC from sandisk, and i works just perfect.

i never tried with a 1 or 2Gb card, so there i cannot say. but on the otherhand i did not remark an diffrence of speed with the 4 or 8Gb card, they're just as fast as usual (in cellular device or in pc with cardreader). the only thing i can say, is that cards from cheap(er) brands are always slower than cards from quality brands (such as sandisk, as example). and also SDHC cards should always be faster than 1 or 2Gb cards, because they have a newer controllers (not 100% sure about this point, i think i might have read that in c't).
i hope i could help a little bit...

Dang, 8GB cards work without driver patching? That is champion. I'll be ordering myself one soon.

Yep, can confirm 8gb card works fine, have had one in mine for some months now...
Now what about 16gb? was that article written before 16's were available even the sandisk site seems to be out of date saying nokias that are supposed to support 16's only support 8?
anyone actually confirmed 16's don't work?

well, i am using a Sandisk 4GB micro Sd without any problems.

@ zarn:
have a look at General discussion > Accessories > 16 and 32GB MicroSDHC test
JayRayMee.NL said:
16GB will be available in Q4.
32GB somewhere in the first half of next year.
Pricing unknown, but I guess that 16GB will have an intro price of something like € 100,00.

i guess we have to wait some time to test it
at work, some weeks ago, i discussed this with a dev. and he meant that from the hardware side it should be no problem, but maybe the driver needs to be updated. i'm not sure, but as i know the driver adds support for sdhc, no matter of the size of the card. he's not a sys dev, he does apps and branding, i'm only test-ex and advanved user, so correct me if i'm wrong (i'm still learning ).
edit: found following on http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-sdhc-cards.htm
The new 2.00 specification should last a bit longer, as it allows SDHC cards to reach a maximum capacity of 32GB.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so i think, if the device supports that specification (and the vox does), it should support cards up to 32Gb.
and again some info about speed:
The SDHC specification 2.00 calls for cards to be classified according to the minimal sustained DTS as follows:
Class 2: minimum sustained DTS of 2MB/sec
Class 4: minimum sustained DTS of 4MB/sec
Class 6: minimum sustained DTS of 6MB/sec
SDHC cards are classified to guarantee a specific sustained DTS. This potentially saves consumers money, as flash cards are priced not only according to capacity, but also to speed. For example, if a product's maximum DTS is 2MB/sec, dishing out extra cash for Class 4 or Class 6 SDHC cards would be a waste of money. Conversely, devices that can utilize the 4MB/sec or 6MB/sec DTR (i guess the author meant DTS, kel187) will perform significantly better with Class 4 or Class 6 SDHC cards, respectively.

my 4Gb card is Class 2 and my 8Gb is Class 4. i did not recognized any diffrences in speed advantages, neither on the mobile nor on the pc. so the vox and my cardreader must be class 2 devices, what a pitty ^^

Sandisk 64gb Microsdxc Card

I was given one of these cards as a gift and the first one shipped failed to format but the replacement came in today and works great in my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. Just thought someone may want to know. The formatted storage space is 59.4gb.

ZOMG. 64gb works with the GTab+? that's legit! how much did you pay for it?

It was a gift but Amazon had it for $149.00 at the time.

You are so lucky! If it were about 75 bucks I would actually consider getting of of these...

I'm planning to buy this card,so i want to know its actually transfer speed. Can you test it on PC using the software Atto Disk Benchmark ?

Since they started doing this "internal" and "external" memory card with our devices, I'm not too worried about swapping the sd card in and out anymore as it doesn't affect the way the device works as much as it used to.
I have a 32GB card each for my tablet and phone that pretty much stay there all the time. What i did instead for extra capacity was collect all the old 16GB cards and store them in this sd-card holder that fits perfectly in this black aluminum business card holder. I bought the sd-card organizer and business card holder from ebay.
That's 11 (one in the microSD to SD adapter) 16GB cards for 176GB total. I mainly use this system to backup and transfer pictures from my bigger SD cards when I'm out shooting photos (using the 30-Pin to SD adapter).

What did you use to format the card? i put this in my G Tab+ and when i click mount sd, it gives me an error icon in the notification area. when i tap that and click format, it says it is blank or has an unsupported file system. Any help would be appreciated
*Edit* - I've been having trouble finding a utility I trust to format the card as FAT32. On my windows 7 64 bit machine, the native right click format menu doesnt even give me the option of doing FAT32, just exFAT or NTFS (both useless for the application I need). Even the official SD Formatter tool didnt give any choice in the filesystem to format to.
After seeing this article, I decided as a last ditch effort to use my Vibrant to see if i could get it to format as FAT32 since the article mentioned it working in the Galaxy S. This worked and i now have 59.4GB free to exploit on my G Tab+ (However, I did have to use the file write permissions fix to get things to copy between internal and external memory within Astro). Just wanted to post for others that were having trouble finding a way to format this card as FAT32. My assumption is any of those confirmed devices will format it.

Moto G 4g LTE - Sandisk ultra 32gb microsd card won't mount

I picked up the Moto G 4g LTE version recently hopping on the fact that they added an sd card slot. Anyway, I purchased this http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B007XZM6VG/
microsd card hoping for some nice expansion. But for some reason whenever I insert it it says damaged sd card, tries to format it, then says blank sd card, and basically loops this process. Now here's the weird thing, this sd card works fine (can read and write) in other people's phones, but just doesnt seem to work in mine!
I even tried my friends 32 gb microsd card and it worked (it was a slower class 6 varient),I tried *my* sd card in that persons phone, and it mounted and worked fine, the sd card works in my PC also.
I'm wondering if I need a slower speed card? Maybe class 6 or 4. Because I read up on another guys problem on here, his is freezing but he got a slower 32 gig card and now it works without a problem. I know he was having a different problem but I'm wondering if the phone is having an issue with class 10 cards.
Anyone having the same problem or have any idea what might be going on?

Hi,
As I mentioned on the "other guy"'s topic, I experienced this kind of issues with my previous phone, which were entirely solved by replacing my 32 GB Sandisk class 10 card with a 16 GB Samsung class 6 card. AFAIK, fast cards may cause malfunctions with some Android phones, because of the access response times.

Had the same issue. resolved by getting a different brand and lower class. all issues resolved.

I'm using this card bought thru Amazon for 17.99 ------Samsung Electronics 32GB EVO Micro SDHC with Adapter Upto 48MB/s Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MP32DA/AM)------
I have had 0 problems with it and high benchmarks, I use to use Sandisk but after multiple problems with multiple cards over they years I have completely abandoned them for Samsung and have yet to have a problem.

The problem comes from that, some cards won't fall back to lower performance level and thus causing issues for the device that it is inserted in.
Some devices does not have problem with that tough.
Another reason could be the file system used, but that's less likely, although not very rare.
And one more thing is that brands like SanDisk, Samsung, Kingston etc are the actual developers of the SD technologies and sometimes you may get a product that is using newer technologies, which often causes troubles.

I purchased same Sandisk micro card from Amazon as OP did. I got same results. It is sitting here on my bed with RMA on it to back to Sandisk. Just got a new speck sheet which was posted from the motorola forms that says the following:
Micro SD UHS-1 "The card will work, BUT the Moto G 4F/Lte WILL NOT SUPPORT UHS 1 - SPEEDS.
So it appears, a slower speed card is in order. I just had to purchase a Samsung 16 gb class 6 card. Would rather have had a 32 gb but could not find in class 6.

Random and Sequential of my 32gb Samsung Evo UHS-1 in my Moto G LTE using A1 SD Bench

Thanks so much for the input and advice guys! I was too impatient to order another sd card and wait for it to ship so I went and bought a random 32 gig class 10 card from a brand i've never heard of called "Monster digital" and it works perfectly. So I'm not sure what really fixes it, if it's a brand thing or size or speed or what. But my change from my non working sd card was Speed: UHS-1 -> Class 10, and Brand: Sandisk -> Monster Digital

Regarding the SD card issue. I tried with three separate phones with a 32gb class 10 and and a 16gb class 4 -- failed on two of them, but works fine on one of the phones. So there is definitely a build quality issue ( and/or difference ) between the phones, aside from the mentioned 'supported sd card class.' Both of these cards work fine on all other devices ( pc/laptop/tablets including old SD card readers with adapters )

Wanted to give an update. Tested with four devices now ( 2 black, 2 white ) and First one ( white ) worked, next two did not work, but the fourth device ( black ) it worked to detect 32gb sandisk without fail. So there is _definitely_ a difference between them from device to device -- maybe even assembly line quality control issues depending on week of manufacture, who knows.

Very interesting (and puzzling). Do they all run exactly the same version of Android? Are they all exactly the same model (eg. XT1032) and the same internal storage capacity (8/16 GB)?

Oops, Moto G LTE is 8 GB only, sorry.

Yes.. exact same model/capacity and OS, all ordered within the same 1 week period ( two being RMA )

Can verify that the XT1045 4G LTE performs very well with a 64GB SDCard inserted internally, ALSO..with a 32GB MicroSD card inserted into the USB / Charge port..and runs both very well, and with both cards mounted..

I have a Moto G LTE on order, and am wondering if the various problems people are seeing are due to the file system used on the card: exFAT or FAT32. I would assume the newer SanDisk cards are formatted with exFAT. Does the flavor of Android on the phone support exFAT ?
Another issue I've found in the past with some other devices and ROM's is that if the card is formatted as exFAT, it might need be set up as a primary partition and not a logical drive (using MiniTool or some such).
But we'll see what happens when the phone & card actually arrive

As far as I'm concerned, my cards were all FAT32-formatted, both the malfunctioning SanDisk and the Samsung that worked well. Nothing to do with exFAT vs. FAT32 then.

Exact same 2 cards ( check my previous post ) , tested on 4 (four) MOTO G LTE , 2 Samsung and a Camera and a Tablet worked only on 2 of the MOTO G LTE's + all the other non motorola devices. It cannot be the formatting or even the make of the card if it's a compatiblity issue.

I am getting 'Removed SD card' / 'SD card removed, Insert a new one' error by using exact same Samsung 32GB EVO Micro SDHC. I could not format it by using Moto, so I did a full format in my PC, Same result. The microSD symbol is UHS-1 (one capital U with '1' inside') - matched Amazon's picture.

Try a slower card (class 6 fort instance).

My XT1045 and sandisk ultra 32gb card both arrived, and they seem to work together just fine. Android version is 4.4.3. Card came formatted as fat32. Promptly unlocked the bootloader in hopes of flashing slimkat at some point

Just got my moto G 4g delivered today and My 32gb Sandisk Ultra (which I had for 2 years in 6 different phones) won't work. looked it up, saw this thread and I'm kinda sad that I have to buy a new sd card for this when I paid a premium to have the ability to use a sd card in the first place. Nonetheless, I'll take the safer route you guys talked about and try for a lower class speed. Just ordered a samsung 32gb (not the evo model) class 6 from amazon for about 19.25 after tax. it should be here on the 25th I'll let you guys know if it's a good one to use. I knew kit kat didn't play nice with sd cards but this is ridiculous.

Galaxy S7 and 400GiB SD Card?

Guys sorry for this dumb question but I heard that the S7's maximum SD-Card capacity was 200GiB.
My phone is rooted with magisk and SuperMan-ROM 3 (later maybe LineageOS Pie).
What happens when I insert a 400GiB SD-Card which I could get very cheap this weekend?
Will it work fine with all the capacity?
Will only 200GiB be accessible?
Will it not work at all?
Thank you!

I've had sucess on multiple phones using SD cards that were bigger than what the phones said they were capable of. I look at is is they can only guarantee up to thier stated max capacity, anything above that and there is a possibility of problems or not being able to read it. But every phone is different.
If it's real cheap you could get it regardless and could still use it. I picked up a little adapter for $12 that holds a micro SD card, it's regular USB on one end (for computer connection) and micro USB on the other using OTG function. Nickles for size comparison

I can confirm that the SANDISK Ultra® 400 GB is working flawlessly with the Galaxy S7.
The phone formats it to exFat and it shows 366 GB of available space.
(Which is correct.)
Only thing I couln't do yet is creating two partitions and linking the second to internal storage (No1 for exFat storage and No2 for Ext4 internal-sd-extension).
Well this just won't work.
When I try the internal-sd-extension is detected but I can't use it nor can I use the exFat storage which is not detected at all.
Don't know how to do this.
But nevermind.

For something like that you may need to use something like gparted to partition it how it needs to be for that to work, but I don't know

Pls help: those who have either 512GB or 400GB microSD card

Folks,
Those of you who holds 512GB or 400GB microsd card could you try if your X2 or K30 supports it?
Official xiaomi spec stated only can support up to 256GB but I am asking for real life actual experience here. Thinking of purchasing either one of these larger storage size cards so that I can take a few dozen albums of DSD files and 24bit flac files on the go. Especially useful for longer duration hiking trips up the mountains.

Memory cards work irrespective of the capacity specified by the manufacturer, You can use any capacity and it will work without any issue plus you can use 2 TB WD hard disk as well and it will work too

I don't feel that's true, the size depends on the file system. I guess if you decide not to change the file system, the OS will always read 256 GB only, max to max. Or maybe could read none

Hi, thanks for replying. For OTG connecting 2TB HDD for sure that will work as long as OTG function is enabled within developer setting provided drive is formatted in exFAT and not NTFS. However, we are talking about entirely different slot altogether. USB Type C slot VS microSDXC slot.
For K30, it seemed xiaomi has somehow limited the capacity of the slot to only max out at 256GB at the firmware level for some strange unknown intent according to some comments on chinese forums. Hence I am asking for those who already have a 400/512GB card at hand to help try out and confirm if this is true to remove any guessing work. Thanks！

Yep, indeed file system plays a part. So let's assume the microsd card is formatted in exfat whether is it readable by K30 running MIUI 12?
Don't need the microsd card to be "formatted as internal storage" within the device as that for sure is limited at max 256GB capacity by xiaomi, don't know why they do that. However, I'm interested to know about the part where if the said microsd card is mounted as external storage can MIUI read and write to this storage at its fullest capacity of either 400GB or 512GB?
