TP2 and SDHC card problem

Since switching from a SanDisk 8Gb class 2 MicroSDHC to a Kingston 16Gb class 10 MicroSDHC (manfacturer part number SDC10/16GB-2ADP) I keep getting problems starting up apps that use the storage slot. For example, when I start CoPilot Live 8, it just freezes and I have to power off the phone, pull out the card, re-insert it and power on again (if I don't re-insert the card then a phone reset doesn't allow me to use the card right away).
Is the TP2 ok with this card, or is the card defective? I don't have problems using it with a USB MicroSDHC adapter.
I might save this card for use with a newer phone, perhaps a HTC Desire or Legend.

I don't know the Kingston, but my Sandisk 16 GB does not make any problems.

I have the SanDisk 16gb and have had no problems at all. Have you formatted your Kingston sd card? Maybe try formatting it on a different computer, or by putting it into a digital camera and using its format function? Hope that helps...

Yes, I've tried formatting the card. It made no difference.
I guess my question comes down to what class card the TP2 supports. I understand that the cards themselves are supposed to be downward compatible with devices that don't support the higher speeds, but some devices might struggle. I don't know what card class is supported by the TP2 (2,4,6 etc). I imagine any class 2 card would be fine, but what is the maximum class the TP2 should be able to support?

I don't believe it's the card because I'm experiencing the same problem. I initially started using the card in a nokia e71. bought the same reader as you: it just freezes and I have to power off the phone, pull out the card, re-insert it and power on again (if I don't re-insert the card then a phone reset doesn't allow me to use the card right away).

I'm using some noname 16gb card I got off eBay. Used it in my Incite and now in my Tilt 2 without issue.

Download trial of Pocket Mechanic Pro and run disk check and for errors. Missing not having two copies of FAT directory onboard causes many problems. Pocket Mechanic Pro is one WM tool really worth having.

Case hints about ports.

I found this case while browsing amazon. In the description it says it's for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi and 3G, with access to ALL ports. Could this mean that the wifi and 3G have the same ports?

More hints
I found a SD Card going through the Amazon also. Why would Kingston create a 32GB SD card specifically for the 10.1 if it didn't have a SD port. Let alone available now since the 10.1 isn't even out til the 8th.
Also, I noticed looking at the FCC specs on the back specs that there are two ports that aren't labeled that look to be the ports that were shown during the CTIA showing. Not that I'm hoping there is an SD port, but I am surely am.
I would put up the link but I haven't posted enough to be allowed. Professional Kingston MicroSDHC 32GB (32 Gigabyte) Card for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with custom formatting and Standard SD Adapter. (SDHC Class 4 Certified)

Usb storage damaged message

I keep getting a usb storage damaged message. I have read that it is sometime an issue with the galaxy s3. Also sometimes when I first unlock the phone it says prepping sd card even though I did not remove it.
Also my SD card is a SanDisk 64gb class 10. I have read that this can be an issue with a certain crop of SanDisk.
Any tips? As of right now entitling works and if it's just messages popping up.

Have you tried using the SD card in other devices and on a computer?
I had a *similar* problem with an old MicroSD card in my original Galaxy phone and formatting the card seemed to work. I can't speak too much to your issue because the largest MicroSD card I've used is 32 and it's been flawless.

Yeah, verify across devices first. If not, try filing a claim with SanDisk if you purchased the sdcard only recently and it's already gone bye-bye.

Issue with MicroSD

So I just got a Kingston Class 10 64GB SDXC Card
I generally use Wifi File Transfer Pro to xfer stuff to extSd but in this tablet, its just dies down after a certain %
I thought it might be the SD card, then I inserted my Patriot Class 4 32GB card and same thing
I tried Air Droid and WTF, for both it shows ExtSD card is 11.76GB only!
Is there something wrong? or thats how kitkat is?

I haven't run into this with my nexus devices and OTG readers, but try this thread for those who have the problem using external cards. I have a TabPro 12.2 on pre-order as well as a 64GB micro card so I will definitely try the fixes if needed.

SDHC already supports capacities up to 2TB, but Windows will not format a FAT32 device above 32GB so the decision was made to stop SDHC cards at 32GB and switch to SDXC which uses exFAT. If you don't care about exFAT and don't mind using a 3rd party format tool you can probably use SDXC cards in SDHC devices but this is only theory...officially this is not meant to be possible.

Basically the only time the 64 gb sdxc card would be in the pc (Win 7) would be to transfer any photos/video taken with the Tab s to the PC or vice versa wanting to transfer a photo/video from pc to the Tab S. All other times the Tab s would be the permanent home for the 64 gb sdxc card. I know I could do the transfer via usb but I'm not sure if it would be slower doing it that way.
It's a shame they never thought to make it compatible with USB 3.0.
