I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I just bought a Samsung Focus this morning and love the device. The only issue i am having is that it will not detect my class 10 16GB microSD card. I have other 8GB cards and they detect fine but i cannot get the 16GB to work. I have tried the 16GB in other devices (laptop, HTC Hero) and it detects and works fine. So i dont know if it is a size issue or the fact that its a class 10 card but my windows phone will not detect that it is installed.
If anyone has had success with a similar card please let me know.

Are you doing a hard reset on the device after you put the card in?
I have been able to reproduce the same results with a Class 10 MicroSD from Kingston. It is not recognized by the phone with or without performing a hard reset. A class 4 32gb card was recognized with no issues.
Hmmm, class 4 works but not 10??? Class 10 == too fast for Wp7
One more data point. I am also experiencing an issue with the Kingston 16GB class 10 microSD card in a Samsung Focus. Slightly different issue though -- only 8 of the 16GB are recognized.
As you may have seen, AT&T employees are now warning customers to not install microSD cards until MSFT issues a patch. When I bought my Focus this morning, the AT&T salesman brought his manager out to tell me about the problem.
CHANGED: The Transcend 16GB Class 6 card does not work per se. Will see it all 16GB after hard reset, then after turning phone off then on again only sees 8GB of the card.
My A-Data 16GB class 6 card works.
I posted earlier that my Kingston 16GB class 10 card didn't work in the Foucs. I just bought a Sandisk 16GB class 2 microSDHC card, which worked fine. From what I've seen there is no authoritative way to predict which cards will work. However, I have not seen any reports of Sandisk cards failing.
Class 10 cards will not work til update.

it is the class not brand class 10 cards will not work til the update..
Another data point -- I saw instability even with a card that appeared to be working. I first posted that my Kingston 16GB class 10 card didn't work (only 8GB recognized). I then posted that my Sandisk class 2 16GB card worked. However over the next two days, I experienced surprising instability e.g. the phone rebooting itself several times per day. For the last two days I have been running without a microSD card and the spontaneous reboots have gone away. Other people may be having better experiences with their cards. But for the moment, I'll live with less sync'ed music to get better stability. If the spontaneous reboots come back, I'll post again.

You might want to try this card tester on your cards as they mey be bad...
It seems most cards class 6 and above don't work and class 4 is the most reliable. Ho hum!
For what its worth I've been using a Kingston 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model SDC4/32GBSP since Monday and having no problems whatsoever.
Class and size has nothing to do eith it. Google for more info.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The reason Class 10 cards don't work and Class 2 cards do is because of the random read/write speeds. Class 10 cards promise fast SUSTAINED write speed but at the expense of random read/write. Windows phone 7 relies mainly on random read/write speeds to function smoothly. Fortunately, this means that Class 2 cards work very well! I would consider this to be a good thing however because Class 2 cards are cheaper!
Adding to this old dead thread, but was hoping to know if anybody knew if Microsoft fixed this issue yet. I just ordered an A-Data 16GB Class 10 MicroSD recently..
From a quick search, it seems it hasn't though?
Yeah, I don't think anyone has really had an issue with a card since nodo. As stated in this thread however, many people have (in the past at least) had better luck with class 2 than any other class. I've been using the sd card below for a couple of months with no issue with about 30gb of music loaded on it.

Whats the biggest micro card this phone will support. Are 32gb / 64gb even made?
i ordered this 16gb one, if there are 32 or 64 i want to know too
Kingston Technology SDC2/16GB 16 GB microSDHC Class 2 Flash Card
At the moment the largest card is 16GB.
16g is the largest, but 32g is coming out soon. My guess is that they will be quite expensive and no word on speed. While the class (speed) is in write mode only, it does make a difference when using the camera or writing files to the card.
I got a Ridata 16gig Class 6 microsd three days ago and works great!

The largest Rhodium supports is 32GB.
SDHC specs out at 32GB max.
I think only a few companies make 16GB Class 6 cards. Transcend being one of them. I don't think you can get 32GB ones just as yet and no way you can get a Class 6 one anyway.

and i think before they release 32gb SDHC they'll go the SDXC way with 64 & 128gb model.
if you plan on getting a Transcend card for use with a GSM TP2, be careful. There have been reports of Transcend cards not working well with the TP2. I personally experienced it, when my Class 6 8GB card would randomly disappear from the phone, or when music would skip during playback. Switched to a Sandisk Class 2 8GB that came with my BB Storm, and haven't experienced a single problem.
And also, note that the Transcend card worked great in my BB Storm, BB Bold 9700, LG Incite and Samsung BJII before this. Nothing wrong with the card, just with the TP2.
16gb is the largest built. 32gb is the largest theoretical that sdhc supports. youll need sdxc for more than that. i wonder if rhodium will support this in the future. old htc devices (and samsung) that could only do regular sd that capped at 4gb could do sdhc with a rom/driver update. sdxc supports up to 2tb which will be interesting to see.
The 32g microsd is long over due. Every so often there will be a press release that the 32 will be release within the next month or so. The projected time frame will come and go. There was a PR stating that 64g was in the works.
if a 32gb microsd card is sold i will buy it. i have an 8gb and could get a 16gb surprisingly cheap but i wont buy a stop gap knowing a 32 might be out soon.
I just got my 16gb no name cheapie from hong kong micro sd card for my tp2 in the mail. I spent numerous hours setting it up with the programs I wanted on it music and such. I had used it for about an hour or so and all the sudden the phone went crazy.. somehow the card corrupted it self im guessing cause the phone no longer recognized it or anything on it.. I removed the card and put it in my card reader to my laptop nothing was on it but a mess of folders all with the name ".." I thought maybe I had done something wrong so I formatted it and tried again. same thing happened the next day. I now reverted back to my 8gb sandisk and havent had any problems with it.. I guess its a get what you pay for kinda deal. Maybe there is something I can do I would think flash memory is flash memory but I guess they have their diffrences. Just wanted to share my .02 on my experience I would like to get another 16gb because bigger is better but ill wait it out and see what is to come next.
Biggest MicroSD Card
Sandisk 64GB SDXC formatted Fat32 works.. recognised as 60871.23MB under Settings > System > Memory and by Total Commander File Manager.
I'm looking for some thoughts on a problem I encountered. Due to a problem with the camera, I got a refurbished phone under warranty. When I got it, I took the 8GB micro SD (not the original HTC, but a faster card from Transcend) from my old phone where it had worked flawlessly and installed it in my refurbished phone. Wouldn't mount. Put it back in the original phone; wouldn't mount. Computer wouldn't recognize it through multiple adapters/readers. Not erased or formatted, nothing would recognize it. I know crap happens sometimes. I had an old 2GB card that I installed and it worked with no problems.
I RMA'd the card back to Transcend (which is another story) who would not replace it due to a scuff mark on the edge of the card - physical damage!!!
Anyway, I ordered a new Adata card, 8GB class 10 and when it arrived, I transferred files to it on my computer (so it was working) and put it in the phone. Wouldn't mount. Put it back in the computer and no files could be seen. Ran scandisk, files reappeared. Installed back in the phone, wouldn't mount. Now it's fried, too. Computer won't recognize it anymore. Installed 2GB card back in phone and it mounts and works fine.
I've got a replacement phone coming again from TMobile - it's got to be the phone doing this. But I'm out 2 SD cards. I'll try a RMA on the Adata card to see if I can get a replacement, but I may buy another card in the meantime.
Does anybody have any thoughts on this problem? Why would the phone play nicely with the 2GB card but neither of the 8GB cards? I don't think I can do anything different, but at $15 a shot, I'm starting to hesitate buying a new card to put in the replacement phone when it gets here.
Thanks.
As a clarification, the original Transcend card was a class 6 card. The Adata was a class 10 and I read that some phones won't work with some class 10 cards...

as always, the best class to use with phones are class 4. their cheap and they work good
well, i was hesitant bout the whole "which classes will the g2 work with" situation.
i bought a pny 16gb class 10 and it works. so i dunno if its more of a this specific phone situation over an entire group of phones.
EDIT : It failed again, dont use this card to do the upgrade, its not working propperly, 32GB Class 4 SanDisk Micros SD Card SDSDQM-032G-B35
Only class 2 works m8
TopRam 32GB Class4 work also with no problem.

sandisk 32 gb class 4 SDSDQ-032G-Bulk
It's working for me on my Trophy as well.
Sandisk Class 4 32 GB. Did you try a reset after installing the sd card?
It doesn't boot into the phone by default so you will need to use the phones hardware reset instead of the software version. For trophy you hold volume up then power on.

So does this card working or not?
Where did you buy the card ? If you got it from ebay or some questionable dealer to save some money, you could of gotten a fake one. Only buy a MicroSD card from a good known dealer or a good retailer.
MicroSD cards are one of the top faked items for cell phones today.

It must be Class 2 although in the HD7 thread, they said class 4 one works too. It's something to do with random access or something.

NOTE: I haven't tried this myself.
I remember reading somewhere that the higher class cards have better constant read write speeds (good for transferring files), but they lack decent random access speeds. It's a trade off, being as it's used for the OS to run off of. Having higher Random Access is more important.
The Card in the Phone is a SanDisk 8GB Class 4 so Class 4 Do work with this phone.
I got the Card from Amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004LZ2MJM/ref=oss_product
If you change the SD card you are FORCED to use the Phones HARD reset or it will boot and complain the SD card is not working and turn off or Emergancy call are your only options.
I'm running Mango so not sure if others will run more into this issue after a short time once upgraded their phones. I have been back on the 8GB card for 1 week now and not a glitch in sight.
Unfortunatly I dont have access to a Nokia to reformat the card so i cant test its speed in a PC to check why its failing. But I believe the reasons are because of the low speed of the 4k write and read speed. At best I can do is send it to SanDisk and ask for a new one.
But no idea how that will go.
If I boot up on to tri colour screen with the 8GB I see
SD SANDISK 7580MB
If I put the 32GB I see
SD SANDISK something#CLASS0 if I remember correctly.
EDIT: You only see the above #CLASS0 before the SD has a secure Partition, once the Partition is on it it shows as:
SD SANDISK 30436MB
Partition Info-v211v413
So the main problem is It all apears to work nicly and then some time after it compleatly dies rebooting or not even booting and also claiming the SD car is not working. I cant do any thing diffrent other then put it in or not. So I'm unsure why some ppl have or claim to have it working. Duff card?
Maybe time to contact SANDISK
PS: the packaging it arrived in was the full retail SANDISK Red Packet with a access code to its Media manager software online so its 100% original as far as i can tell, aso has the square section on the back that some suggest only originals have, although the OEM 8GB Class 4 from in the phone originall does not have the square raised section so I dont think it matters
Did you compare it to the listed model # in my post above. There's one class 2/4 model that is confirmed to work while there's another class 2/4 model that they say to, "avoid."

so i'm trying to work out why im having issues as others say it works but my personal experiance says it works to start with and fails soon after on Mango.
Thanks any way
I'm on a genuine SDSDQM-032G-B35 too and had no issues (apart from phone sometimes going a little slow) before updating to Mango - now I can't even get through the initial setup of the phone without it rebooting or reporting a storage card problem.
I think Mango is demanding even more of the storage than Nodo, so previously-working cards may become useless after the update.
I guess there's a good reason why Microsoft want NAND memory in the phones rather than SD.

I just got my S3 (United States) and and tried 3 (YES 3) Lexar 32 GB Class 10 cards and every one of them have failed. I called Lexar, they say to have my firmware upgraded. Went to Sprint and verified everything is fine with the phone. The cards won't work in other phones at Sprint Either. Before buying another card I'd like to know from you guys which one out there will work with no problems, speed, and size is important for me. I know I'll be using more memory than the 32gb in the future. I called Sandisk and they recommended their SDSDQUA-032G Ultra 32 Class 10 and said it would work. Sprint says they know the Class 6 works in the S3.
I'd like more than 32gb. and fast write & Read speeds.
Can I get some great recommendations from you before I buy another piece of crap. Two weeks now and I still don't have a working card. Lucky I have Amazon prime membership.

I use a 32gb Sandisk Class 10 SDHC Card, this thing works. Problem with anything bigger then 32gb is that you have to use sdxc and this is only really compatible in fat32 or exfat, for both you have to format the card before inserting into the phone.
Try the SanDisk 32gb Mobile Ultra UHS-1 because it's cheaper than normal class 10 Mobile Ultra and just as fast, and I've been using it a while with no problems.
I am quite happy with my Sandisk Ultra 64GB SDXC. No issues at all.
What do I need to format

Sandisc Ultra 64gb micro sd xc1
Sandisc Ultra 64gb micro sd xc1 was my choice and its worked well over the last 4 years. Its the phone that has bricked after Little use in October 27/2016. Changed the battery it needed it. Now its bricked.
I have a SanDisk but I was told that SanDisk aren't good for Samsung S3's
Hello,
I'd recommend the Toshiba Exceria memory card, either with 16, 32 or 64GB. This card is a class 10 card with UHS 3. Although the S3 can't use the full speed of the micro SD, this is a well working combination.

I have the SanDisk 64GB ultra sdxc or whatever it's called. It works very well with no issues and I have 1,000+ pictures stored on it with about 30 videos.
Quick question. Would a SD card and adoptable storage on a ROM be a good solution for the Samsung device?
Yes, a SD card is always good, especially for backups
Hi guys I was wondering if the Note 3 had a problem that I had in my phone. I had a few SanDisk SD cards in the past and for some reason my Note 2 always ended up killing them. It killed 2 32GB cards that I had in it. After, some time I would start getting errors about the card being unexpectedly removed and the PC couldn’t see the card or the data on it. I wanted to know if anyone has had any issues with the Note 3 as It seems from the research I did it seems to be an Issue between Samsung phones and SanDisk cards. Also I forgot to mention I used both cards in previous phones before the note 2 specifically an HTC Evo 3d and an LG Esteem.
I’m asking because I saw there having a sale on Ultra SD cards for SanDisk on Amazon but I don’t want to spend the money if the cards will be destroyed I as looking at the Class 10 Ultra 32Gb cards.
So far the best cards I have had luck with are Class 4 PNY cards but I was really looking for cards that would give me more speed. The Note didn't kill a 8GB PNY or a 32GB one yet, so it seems this might be a SanDisk problem.
Any Thoughts ?
I used a 32GB SanDisk Ultra for about five months of moderate to heavy use before it had problems. I reformatted the file system, restored a backup, and moved it to a secondary device and it seems to be fine. The replacement in my primary device is a 32GB PNY and I don't think I've had any problems with any PNY cards over the last several years. Both devices are Note 3s.

I've been using a 64 gb sandisk mSD...in the note 3 for about a month now and in my ancient r800x for over a year before i got my note 3....havent had any issues even at near full capacity (only have 5 gbs left lol)
I have filled up my 64gb from SanDisk in my note 2 for a year and half, then got this phone on launch still pretty much full lol.
And while it was on my note 2 I was running the script to make my internal storage as the external SD card.

Being full isn't the problem -- it's the number of writes that could cause problems. Some manufactures have more errors than others.
