Hey my SD Card might be messed up. I have moved all files off of it and I need to format it now. I am going to use the SD Association SD Formatter 3.0 from http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
I was wondering what the best settings are to use for it?
It is a 32 GB Class 10 Patriot card.
Format type can be Quick, Full (Erase), or Full (OverWrite).
Format Size Adjustment can be either On or Off.
What should it be?
Just do a full format(slowest) and keep all the other settings set to default

Those settings are specific. What type of full. Full (Erase) or Full(OverWrite)?
And formatting through Windows asks for an allocation unit size. What is the best for that?
Just tight click on SD card click format and click quick format

Make sure you check it for errors first either way...
Leave the blocks/etc as default and do the FULL/Overwrite this first time (quick format does not clean as well)..and come back and check it in the morning...yes it takes a long time.
Your phone should be able to set it up for you in recovery (AR2.3) and allow you to adjust the swap (0,32,64 are common) and the ext2 partition (1024,2048 are common) followed by upgrading it to ext3. With that size of card it may take 10-20 minutes to set all that up.
Either way, if your card is having problems the error check would be first. Hope you get it corrected.
I know this is a bit late and hopefully you got straighten out but, from what I read yesterday while shopping for a larger sd, I found that the Patriot cards are not intended for use with smartphones. At least that is what it says in consumer comments on Amazon.com.
Kept me from buying the same card you have, Patriot 32GIG class 10. Scroll down to the very 1st comment and read the very first line of the comment:

Amazon Customer Comment said:
According to the manufacturers of this card on their own forums, this does not work properly in Android or Windows phones. I guess it is a problem with the way this card is partitioned or formatted. Symptoms of the problem are regular freezing of the phone you put it in (requiring a battery pull to reset) and the card eventually becoming corrupted (losing all the data that is on it and requiring a reformat). On the official acknowledgement of the problems posted to their forums they give no indication of what we are supposed to do with these cards that don't work. It might be possible to repartition and reformat this card yourself to get it to work but I haven't been successful at that yet.

Now you see why I didn't buy it. Stick to the Name Brand cards to minimize your problems and read reviews and comments. Good Luck!

Yes and that was related to specific phones, NOT the EVO 4G. I do read the reviews and comments and I saw those issues people were having. Patriot is one of the few companies that makes cards that are 3.0 spec'd. It has been more than fine.
okay i hope i don't get flamed for this, but im seeing multiple answers from different sources
so the question is
does the galaxy nexus have a micro SD card slot?
edit: just checked their site
http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/...dex.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification
if you look at the tech specs it says it has SD card support
Nope no SD card on it
Pretty sure those specs are specifically for the international version. The VZW version doesn't have expandable memory.

You can do that on phones without SD slots...it is called USB mass storage, which coincidentally is disabled by ice cream sandwich.
In my experience, especially dealing with verizon, I'd better have an SD slot, because the phone WILL fail and require a replacement and the last thing I need is a bricked phone that I can't recover my files from.
So, I was holding our for the Nexus but now I need to figure out my next device real soon...

No it does not a micro SD Card Slot...... if that makes you uncomfortable ... then do not get one. But, for most this is totally a non issue
I used the phone it is beyond excellent....... its feel is way better than an iphart 4gs
It really is a major step up...........
Its sad... I guess because of the NFC

Why are you blaming Verizon, or hardware issues for something that could happen that would be entirely your fault? (not backing up your own info)
So, the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have an SD slot. Is it Google?
What I mean is, my understanding of the Nexus S was that it was essentially Google's specs and design and Samsung made it, but they wanted to have their own phone with all their crapware on the market, so the basically made the exact same hardware in a different case and filled it full of Touchwiz. But the Galaxy S had an SD slot!
So is the no SD slot something Google have decided for security/aesthetic reasons, or is just a technical thing and they decided the phone could live without?
I never fire up my laptop anymore so backing up my files would be a problem.
If I wanted to be hooked to a laptop to backup I'd get an iPhone.

I hardly ever remove sd card from the phone and to be honest unless you store loads of music/videos 16GB of build in memory is way more than I need...
I got GN on VZW, unfortunately no SD card, which would typically annoy me, but with Google Music/Spotify, Calandar, Gmail, Contacts, G+/Picasa Web, and Dropbox (which can be used to transfer files too) there really is no need to worry about having to back up/transfer or need more storage anymore.
No slot=no sale.... Why would they make that decision. Unless the phone had 32gb internal.
No expandable memory? WTF, thought only Apple did that.
nope, no memory slot. That's why Galaxy 2 is a better phone. Just my .02
cloud services and managing your drive space should help keep it from filling too fast, it is terrible that they didn't include the sdcard slot option
Nope it doesnt. It has a virtual SD card. To store Apps + Data. But thts bout it
Right now some might be okay with the lack of a microSD slot, because they don't need that much storage, and they much prefer NAND memory, but here's a few things that I would consider to be critically important for a microSD slot:
1. If the phone dies, how are you going to pull files off of it?
2. When doing anything like flashing PD98IMG.zip files like in the Desire HD, how are you going to be able to get rid of/rename the file on the internal NAND if you cannot access the main Android OS?

That may be enough to put it back on near top of my list. Sure the Galaxy S3 is going to be superb, but I am interested in Tegra 3 phones. The mediocre battery plus lack of SD card did lower its place on my list. Good I feel easier about HTC than going LG 4x HD. The Fujitsu F12arc is hard to top though with being waterproof, Tegra 3, 13mp camera. If it makes it beyond prototype and global.
Galaxy S3 is all about specs, i think. Sense and Htc is far much better on software side, just hope they will release beats and imagechip drivers. ;-) As far as im concerned, hardware doesn't mean much at quadcore phones anymore, more about camera and software.

I have to agree with this point. If the One X had an SD card slot, and someone pops in some old class 1-3 SD Card, into the phone, I can see trouble happening.

No if you go look in the development section you can see that the One X has an internal virtual sd partition.

Ya, honestly be told, my friend has a Galaxy S II, after he boot up his Galaxy S II still need to wait access to SD card and the reason of not having SD card is because the SD card will actually slow down the phone even it is higher classes, also decrease battery life.
So, actually I'm glad that HTC have done a nice job on it.
So where am I going to store all my music? The 32GB microSD I have is running out already. This phone is useless for me because of that sole reason..

nope, as said: virtual sd-partition.
the touch diamond was the same story.
4GB internal Mem. not efected by flashing, hardreset etc. im not sure at this moment, but i have in mind, that you coukd access the int.mem even in the bootloader.
or just flash a stock rom and youre in.
and if your hardware's dead, then you've got other problems
but in that case you can replace nearly everything on htc-devices.
on the diamon i replaced a broken display and some speakerstuff successfully.
but the inbuild battery could be a pain in the 4$$: what if the system freezes? bsod or some thing? will there be any reset button like the good old WiMobile phones? i don't think so.
THAT is, what i am afraid of. but i will buy it anyway. it'll be a REALY great device, like the HD2 2,5years ago.

ur not gonna be able to listen to 32GB worth of music in a single sitting.. heck, 32GB of music will take more than a year.. unless ur a DJ or something, i dun think there is really a need to put your entire music collection on the phone.
secondly, a phone is used for other functions as well.. filling it up with music means less space for downloading email attachment, camera shots and etc..
that said, if u really need to store that much music, i suggest getting a dedicated music device (aka an ipod )..
hope i dun offend anyone for this blunt post..
(ps, in reality, user available space is 26gb if i am correct.. part of the 32gb is locked for htc as system space)

Is it a reboot or does it shut down after 10 seconds?
Because if the phone gets in a bootloop a reboot will not fix the problem.

I'm so happy that i don't listen to music with my phone.. xD
go buy some proper music player with an SD Slot for this, and you got a better audioquality too.. (cowon ftw.)
32gb are more than enough for me. and it was clear that the internal memory is emulated as SD Card. so that all apps are able to function.
I don't care about the lack of the SD Card..
more do i care about the non removable battery.......
not because the reset if it freezes (there will be the 4-secs-instant-poweroff i guess) but because the batterylife itself..
i'm used to have a spare battery.. instantly back to 100%..
this will be a big problem for me. i just hope HTC made some BIG improvements in this case, or this phone will be a fail

So I woke up this morning, phone says SD card unplugged, please insert new...knowing that I obviously did not remove my external sd card I then proceed to check
Settings, Storage --> (nothing shows up)
Boot into recovery --> can't mount external SD card
plug it into PC --> nothing shows up
So now the question is, do I have a bad/dead micro SD card or else?
I am on CM10 which is updated nightly, that might have something to do with the SD card, I dont know.
Edit-- missed where you said you already tried directly from computer.
Might just be a dead card.
Unless it is just not being assigned a drive letter on the pc, the card is toast. If you are using windows you can got to the disk management snap in from the administrative tools and see if it is listed at all, if it doesn't show there it is fubar. Easiest way to get there is right click computer, manage, disk management. For linux or mac im sure there is a similar tool but i couldn't tell how to get there or use it.
Which recovery do you have? Same thing happened to me on 6.0.1.4 Touch. Computer still saw the card, so i pulled everything off the card, reformatted with the computer, then changed recovery. Phone saw it after that and no more problems since.

Thats just the nature of flash memory, eventually it does go bad and unlike mechanical drives which often give plenty of warning of impending failure flash rarely does. Granted 2 months is obviously not acceptable it could be just a freak thing or maybe just an inferior brand. It is also highly susceptible to static discharge, especially in a SD card type format where the pins are exposed. Although possible, i doubt a static shock happened inside the phone but it could have possibly been damaged and just took a while to completely fail.
I used this to format my 64gig chip

Get a new card...i would also check on any warranty offered by the manufacturer, that goes for OP too. Depending on the brand there may be a 1 year or even lifetime warranty, some of the lesser brands might not have a warranty at all. Although i haven't followed my own advice in this category as the last 2 16 GB micro SD's i've purchased have been fairly cheap class 10's, you more often than not get what you pay for. I would also recommend going for the class 10 cards, not only do they have the fastest transfer speeds (and maybe because of this) they seem to be more reliable then their slower cousins.

I don't think SanDisk is a cheapo brand since they have been making great cards for a long time. They have a great warranty program. They will replace anything within a year for sure. I had one that you couldn't read the serial number on so they still replaced it.
SanDisk has a problem by being the most well known microsd, they are faked by chinese companies all the time and those fakes look just like the real ones. Therefore, you buy a fake, paying real prices, that looks real, and you blame SanDisk. I think that was what happened in my experience with a dead card, and they still replaced it.

You can't just format it from "My Computer". You will have to go into device manager and find it, then format it that way. Otherwise it will not work.

Never heard of the brand of SD Card you're using.
My guess, since it's brand new, it's defective at best.
I'd return it for a refund & get a better known brand such as SanDisk or Samsung.
My guess is that you have a faulty SD card. I would return it if I were you or get a new one. Cheap SD cards malfunction often. I've been a victim myself. That's why I only buy reputable names from sources that will accept returns if damaged. I've lost precious memories due to this issue.

Amazon has a no questions asked return policy. Send it back before your return window closes.

A hard reset (OS reload) of the phone effectively addresses viruses, trojans and old OS loads but little else.
Many times the same settings issue remains to be toggled or triggered again.
Find and address the core issue directly.
•Clean card contacts with a tissue and 97% isopropyl alcohol.
•Do a low level format on card if this doesn't resolve the issue, replace the card.
This card works perfectly out of the box:

Never heard of the brand of SD Card you're using.
My guess, since it's brand new, it's defective at best.
I'd return it for a refund & get a better known brand such as SanDisk or Samsung.

Integral are a good quality lower cost SD card supplier in UK
Not sure how to help the OP out but I have the same card and no issues.
Well i formated old Note 8 memory card
128GB Micro SD SDXC Samsung EVO Plus UHS-I U3 Card
Been in phone now for nearly a day, and no errors or notifications have popped up on my Note 10 Plus!
Obviously the phone didnt like something with this certain Integral card, as it worked back in my old Note 8 without any problem?
One of lifes mysteries, but now gone back to Amazon for my £28 refund, and hopefully no more hassle.

Do a low level format on the computer using a apk like Lexar's designed to do a low level format. Simply wiping the card isn't enough sometimes and without a low level format it will remain corrupted.
Sharing a card between two devices can cause card corruption, try to avoid doing so. Usually you can swap between two Androids but be very wary of swapping with other devices like cams etc. Do a full format in the new device to ensure compatibility and stability. Not doing this can result in corrupted card even if it may seem to be functional at first.
You can lose all the data on the card like this and even if you can recover it, it will be in bits and pieces... more or less a useless heap of disjointed data.

I did all the low level format, on both cards, but it still didnt stop the card playing up in my Note 10, and actually corrupting 2 pics,
so i wasnt going to risk that, just needed to make sure it wasnt the phone at fault, as it was only a few days old, but guess it was the card!
lets hope it goes ok from now on! lol

Sorry to hear that.
I've never blown out a ram stick or SD card.
Remember they can be destroyed by one ESD event; their data ports have limited ESD protection. It can happen instantly or fail weeks even years latter, multiple smaller ESD insults can cause accumulative damage over time as well.
•Never touch the contacts.
•Keep static charges low by keeping RH at 50% or higher in the room.
Lol no wool sweaters.
•Touch yourself to an earth ground to discharge any static buildup or use an ESD strap/mat to keep everything near the same potential.
A little extra care can avoid a lot of cursing latter on...

Only ever had one sd ever fail a Toshiba one!
And a pirate one sent from Amazon Warehouse as like new!!!!
Mend pc's in spare time,. so know all about static, perhaps this card was stored next to wooly jumpers in Amazon warehouse! lol
Trust me to get a faulty one!

If you play with a good ESD meter you'll be amazed how much of charge you can build up on almost any nonconductor. Once the RH drops below 20% ESD becomes very problematic and widespread.
High G impacts ie dropping a chip onto concrete from 3 feet can also kill a chip.
ESD is what kills most of these cards and ram sticks though. If you can see, feel or hear static it's already enough to damage semiconductors. Punch a microscopic hole through an insulation layer only a couple microns thick (doesn't take much voltage to do that) and it's a done deal.
Their service life is tens of thousands of cycles so it's doubtful one will wear out prematurely if used with care. High cycle usage though can wear them out.
My oldest flash cards are 16 yo and still functional.
I've had multiple SanDisk cards fail and a PNY. I've had really good reliability with the Samsung EVO Plus and Select cards.
You can pick up a 512GB Samsung EVO Select from Amazon for under $80.

Same here, sandisk cards I have used failed miserably, also kingston ones, I ended using ADATA cards, not a single one has failed, ad for speed, I really find them adequate, at least for normal std uses

When you say "fail" what do you mean?
A low level format couldn't recover it?
Showed multiple bad sectors?
These cards can be corrupted fairly easily but can be completely salvaged with a low level format.
Without it they will be inaccessible and seem to be "dead". Even new cards can do this.

I mean as completely dead and unusable. It would not recognize the partition. Sandisk had released a bad batch of 128GBs a while back. They were unreadable on multiple devices.

May have been dead but a corrupted card will behave like this. A 3rd party PC low level formatting app can access these corrupted cards and repair their file structure.
Normal formatting tools like Windows one will do nothing if it even can register their presence at all.

When I mean dead, I mean DEAD. I was unable to do ANYTHING. The partition was not even readable. I used different tools like Recuva and EASUS and got nothing. I've been using SD cards for YEARS. I know how to fix them.

If the computer software can't read what's there you won't see any partition. Androids wuv to do that.
That doesn't mean it's dead... as long as you have a low level formatting tool that it shows up when connected it probably is salvageable. Make sure any needed Window drivers are loaded...
If you've had multiple failures it's time to reexamine what you're doing.
I have close to 2 dozen flash cards with some dating back 16 years and no unrecoverable failures. Data was lost but not the bloody card!
