I wanted to replace my current 8GB SD Card with a 16 GB SD Card for my Xperia Play.
I have a SanDisk Class 4 SD Card, but whenever I try and access it in the Recovery, or ROM, it does not think it is mounted. I also own a 2 GB and 8 GB SD Cards, and those work perfectly, but just not the 16 GB one. I already tried formatting it, but still no dice.
Why is this, and how would I fix it? Thanks in advance
Try reformatting the card as FAT32. I had to do that to my 32 gb when I first used it with my play (it had been in my cm7.1 nook color before that)...make sure you copy anything that is on it off beforeul you format, unless you don't mind losing amything on it.
Edit: sorry just noticed you said formatting didn't work...what are you using to format the card? Try using partition wizard/(manager, not sure which) I've. Used that before for when I need to do formatting and it works well.

The SD Card works perfectly on my Nook Color, running stock and CM9. It just doesn't work for my Xperia Play.
I have formatted it to FAT32, and I used the WIndows Formatter. I'll try to use Partition Wizard/Manager to format it. I'll come back with the results.

I'm gonna answer this.
This is a system issue with 2.3.4 for example when I flash the .42 baseband or earlier my Micro SD (That came stock with my phone) fails to mount but on any version older than that it worked.
Try flashing a custom ROM or a newer version of Android.
Try 2.3.7 (Cyanogenmod 7.2) or 4.0.4 (Cyanogenmod 9) tell if it works then on either of the versions, they should work on ICS Cyanogenmod 9, a custom 2.3.4 ROM might do but I'm unsure.

I've also experienced the same problem on my r800x. I have tried formatting a couple different times. Still trying to find the solution.
I am using running paxChristos' cdma version, CM10 based JBX rom .
The rom itself is awesomely smooth and quite stable (once you disable the HW Overlays). It has been my daily driver for a lil while and I love it.

I have a similar problem where class 10 16 GB card not detected correctly, I have to shut down and restart several time, sometime it detect and sometime does not detect. Once SD card is detected, game play is smooth, my xperia play is on android version 2.3.4. Kindly let me know whether we have a solution for the same or I have buy another SD card.

I just got my og Evo 4g (on the 3d now) back on for my wife since she dropped hers and is in 2 pieces lol. I havent been on the 4g forum in a long long time and need some help from you guys.
I have found out the im on android 2.2 with baseband version 2.15.00.11.19
Was running Eternal Prophecy v6.1 and on 2.6.32.27 netarchy kernel. I know im pretty far behind and want to know how i would go about getting the phone up to date and run a rom that is pretty stable since its for my wife. She has been bashing me ever since ive found out about rooting and flashing roms, so i want to hook her up with a stable rom with all bloatware removed, and show her that "aftermarket" roms are way better than the one that came with the phone. Any recommendations would be helpful.
Oooohhhhh....1 thing, i dont have the SD card anymore and most likely will be putting her SD card in, would that be ok?
Yes that should be okay. Might need to partition the card via recovery. Roms I have been using cm7 for aosp and mikG for sense. They are both good. Kernels that are out for gingerbread are anthrax, lionfish, and a couple of others. If you want to go straight stock give tommytomatoes classic rom a go. He has tweaked that rom pretty good. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply....I'm still kinda noob on partitioning lol, what do you mean exactly by partitioning via recovery? Is that the whole ext4 thing?
If you are running the latest version of Clockwork mod recovery, you have the option to partition the SD card directly from the recovery. Hope that help man.

What do I do after I partition the SD card?
Partition your card 32/1024, once you do that your SD card should be complete. Partitioning your card will delete everything in your card so be cautious and backup your memory onto a computer

What's partitioning actually do? If I back up my wifes SD card then partition the SD card....do i. just copy the backed up data to the card?
Safe to assume that all custom Roms will not read a 64gb card if formatted in ex fat?
And Roms based on stock should be ok?
I believe that statement is true. If you replace rom with kernel..
To be safe.. Exfat for stock, fat32 for everything else.
Not saying Exfat won't work with custom kernel.. But the few I have tried didn't..
Also.. Maybe cwm also has problems with Exfat.. Not sure..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Ok thanks.
Yeah cwm doesn't see the card at all. The issue I have with fat 32 is the file size limit. I would prefer not having to re convert videos so that I can put them on my phone. Then again I could probably learn to live with it
I would really love to move over to a CM10 based roms, but I love having a functioning SD card for my pictures and stuff to go on. I tried liquid smooth before the release of JB and loved it, just hated the lack of an sd card since all of my stuff is on it.
Are there any roms/kernels that support sd cards since the 'Official Release' of JB??
My sd card works great. 32 gb. Running latest nightly. I think it's been a while since that's been a problem

What do you mean by "sdcards" all cm10 based roms read both internal/external sdcards just fine....you need to clarify or be more specific.

Yeah when I used LiquidSmooth with ktoonz kernel it wasn't working. It needed to be reformatted or something so I just gave up trying to figure it out. None of my pictures would show up in my gallery, I couldn't access ringtones...nothing. It would show up in Root Explorer, but not anywhere else.
I figured out why it wasn't showing. I had to be formatted to Fat32, which at the moment it is not.
I'll have to give CM10 a go later when I have more time.
lol, I thought all sdcards needed to be fat32 for phones... but ya that'll do the trick for you.

It's because I guess samsung phones use extfat or something like that, and that's what my card is currently formatted as.

I had a recovery of my stock rom installed, and inserted a BRAND NEW (Bought it 30 minutes ago) 64GB SanDisk MicroSDXC card, bought from Bestbuy factory sealed. with the sdcard installed I recovered to my CM10.1 install and the SDcard does not work, it says "mount sdcard" but nothing happens when I click it. What am I doing wrong?

Not true. You should have no problem running a 64gb card on an AOSP rom as long as it is formatted to fat32. I am currently running a 64gb sandisk card and my current rom is liquidsmooth but have also used it on carbon, rootbox, paranoid as well as a few touchwiz based roms with no issues. Just make sure you format the card to fat32 and you should be fine.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
No support for exfat, so you'll have to format to fat 32, which defeats the purpose of a high capacity card.
(can't store files bigger then 4gb aka HD rips)
Although there are some hacks on this board that may work.

Xfat from my understanding only works on stock kernel and persus from what I remember reading unless the dev added the support so like it was mentioned formatting it to fat32 on that size card defeats that cards purpose....I should have been clearer since the OP said it doesn't work on cm10 but did on his gfs phone that seemed like why to me. :thumbup:
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
So, can we expect ex fat support on cm10.1 anytime soon?
sd card issues with aosp/cm roms....................that's why I stay away from those roms in that thread...........those roms look bad-ass, but not worth sd card issues, i.e. reformatting to fat32 and such..........not worth it.
I wouldn't get anything over 32gigs...unless you plan on downloading a bunch of pics, games, videos and apps..my 16gig is perfect for me.
The above poster is correct if you want to run aosp or cm gotta format to fat32..
And yes some kernels other then stick and Perseus have issues reading exfat.
But there isn't a Damn thing wing with running perseus they are dope.
I have CWM 6.0.3.1 installed and im rooted. When I go into recovery the SD card does not mount. So I can't flash a new ROM. I tried to format the SD card in the phone but that did'nt help either. I have the stock ROM with 4.1.2. Can i use the stock recovery to flash a ROM or do I need CWM? When im in stock recovery the card is mounted and I can read it. Its just in CWM it will not mount,
btw-im trying to flash cm10 dont know if that matters.

Why not Odin flash the stock-rooted rom and then you can flash cwm/twrp custom roms or just stay stock rooted.
Either way it will fix your mounting issue for sure.
Big mistake if you're going to flash cm10, you are just asking for problems unless you like experimentation.
Good luck!

I did Odin flash like you told me in another post. It got the phone back up but I cant get the card to mount in CWM. I guess Ill try TWRP. Thanks for the heads up on cm10. I could stay stock but I wanted to increase the CPU speed and get some features stock does'nt have. I don't want to turn this into "whats the best ROM" but can you tell me a good one without problems.
I guess it has to do witht the SD card. I used a 1gb and it works fine. But i still need to figure out how to make the 64gb card work.
Not sure that the 64GB cards work on AOSP. Pretty sure you need TouchWiz ROM for that.

The 64GB are in EXFAT format and I don't believe CWM can identify the card in that format. You will need to format the card to FAT32 on your pc and then the recovery should read your card.

That's only one of many reasons why I always try to advise people to stay away from AOKP/AOSP/CM roms.
All of them have inferior cameras and none have wifi calling.
Those roms were meant for developers or for those who like to do a lot of experimentation.
I just got a 64gb sdcard yesterday and it works perfectly, I had a 16gb card which worked perfectly too.
The rom I am using now is jovy's Stockorama v1 which is not exactly stock, it is deoxidized and debloated
and has many mods and lot's of improvements when compared to stock rom.

All sdcards come pre-formatted with FAT32 as default because they perform better and
faster than other formats when used in cell phones and other small devices.
The only advantage of formatting sdcards with other than the default format is when you are
dealing with files larger than 4GB in size. Most people will never have to deal with files of that
size unless they want to use their phones to record video for more than 8 hours continuously.
There are many 3rd party windows 7 utilities which have other format options like MiniTool partition wizard it's a free
(for home use) partition manager that can format a partition as EXT2/3/4 from windows - http://www.partitionwizard.com

I know the aosp/aokp/cm based roms do recognize most sdcards but we are talking about 64gb sdcards
and that's where many of those roms have a problem recognizing and formatting the 64gb sdcard.

Hmm.. That's odd. I'm currently running Liquidsmooth 2.4 with my FAT32 formatted 64 GB SanDisk Class 10 card with no issues. It's been almost a year now since moving from EXFAT.
