Hey guys,
I exchanged the original 8 GB card that came with my HD7 for a 32 GB card yesterday. Since I had to do a hardreset, I now have to re-synchronize all my media back on my phone. Now here's the issue I'm having:
Zune won't synchronise some of the videos I previously had on my device. It keeps telling me that it couldn't convert them (error code C00D1192). Now I ask myself why it cannot convert them anymore even though it worked before without any problems. I seriously doubt it's an sd card issue.
Does anybody have an idea?
Why do you doubt it's an SD card issue, when the only thing that's changed since you last synced your videos is that you've changed SD cards?
Try swapping back to the 8GB card and see if the video sync works again.

I doubt that because synchronising all the music files and pictures worked fine. And the issue doesn't appear with all the videos I'm trying to sync. Just with a few. So if it's sd card related, I assume it would at least happen to some other media files as well.
Before I swap the cards again, which means I will have to completely start over setting up the phone, downloading all apps and sync again, I'd decided to come here for help.
I have a Desire running Froyo and have just bought a Kingston Class 4 32gb card.
Put all my music on it, about 20 gigs.
Playback however is jerky and full of dropouts, either with HTC player or btunes.
a) Is it the Class 4-ness? If so what class do I need to upgrade to?
b) Can I solve it by formatting the card in the phone? I just used it straight out of the box.
c) Can I help by partitioning of any kind? The card is unpartitioned.
Has anyone had a similar experience which they've fixed?
check if you have anything else running from your sd card
backgrounded games/apps
or take the card out then stick it in ur computer and in windows use the defragmenter
Thanks, there were all sorts of apps sneakily running, maps, radio, that kind of thing.
Killing them fixed the jerkiness.
Problem is, why can't you exit apps properly? It's very hard to know what's going on without laboriously looking it up in Settings every time
If an external SD card is formatted as exfat, will the Note 2 shoot videos larger than 4GB?
Update: I just tried it and it didn't work. Despite the exfat formatting, the video stopped and said file size limit reached when it got to 4GB.
Does anyone know if there's a workaround, perhaps via a custom ROM? (I don't see any available settings that are relevant.)
I was just reading about sdcards liking to get me one and only the sdxc can hold >4gb so that may be the issue

Has anyone with a 64GB card tried making a video larger than 4GB? If so, did it work?
I just got a 64GB card (Sandisk SDXC Class 10), exFAT-formatted, but video recording (to the external card) still stops at 4GB, saying that the maximum file size has been reached.
Anyone know of a way to fix this?
I still havent found a solution, has anyone found a workaround?
Im running stock 4.1.2 unrooted (warranty) ^^
So about 2 days ago I got a new 64GB SDXC and ever since then my music has been skipping horribly to the point where it skips to a random song in my queue and sometimes even plating the wrong song
my music is FLAC and MP3

Which micro sd card do you have? You shouldn't have any problems running FLAC music with a UHS-1/Class 10 card or at least a Class 6 card minimum. Worst case scenario is that your card is a fake because they tend to degrade in performance or perform slow to begin with (let's hope that isn't the case).
Perhaps it could also be your music player app, try installing it again? I recommend switching between PowerAmp, Winamp and Player Pro to see if there is any change. Last solution would be to format your micro sd card and transfer all the music back on to it again (if possible, transfer 5-10 songs at a time) and hopefully that will resolve your problem.
this is my MicroSD http://goo.gl/zgRQ6 amazon says it's a class 10 i have tred formatting it many times i have tried player pro, apollo, sony walkman, Zplayer, and ubermusic all with no luck
also if it matters i am running CM10
Try testing the speed of your sd card, you can install SD Card Tester and see if you're getting close to the advertised read/write speed. Also check if the results you get are consistent, perhaps trying the test 5-10 times should help you determine if it is.
Also, what happens if you put several songs on your internal memory and you play them, does it also skip? If not, it is most likely your micro sd. From what I've read in the reviews on the link you've sent me, there are some people who've said their card had become defective over time.
Edit: If you also have another micro sd card available, see if listening to music from it gives you the same issue. In that case, reflashing your rom may help.
2nd Edit: What file system did you format the micro sd in? Make sure you have formatted it in FAT32, apparently some roms have trouble reading exFAT and NTFS.
Thanks for your help but my problem has been fixed my card apparently my card reader is brokem i had been taking the MicroSD card out and putting it in a card reader to speed up transfer but once i transferred music straight from the phone everything worked perfectly also people have reported that that card reader sometimes copies files with broken parts which is exactly what was happening with me
That's a first, would have never thought of that! Good job on finding out the issue and fixing it. :good: Time to get the card reader replaced just in case you would need to use one again, ahaha. Cheers!
Have you tried a different music player?

In August, I bought a 128GB PNY microSD card. It lasted almost two months, and then the tablet started acting funny. It would randomly unmount the card, it couldn't find my music files, and apps I had moved to the card would just disappear. I assumed the card was broken, so I eventually replaced it with a 128GB Samsung card. It's worked fine until the other day, when it started exhibiting the exact same behavior. I haven't been able to fix it.
I've tried formatting them both, but nothing seems to work. Windows can see the cards and the contents, but it's not able to format either card - it reads them both as write-protected, even though they're not. The only thing I can think that might cause it besides my tablet is Link2SD. I use this to move the large app data to the card since I only have 16GB of regular space. Could this be causing it? I'm at a loss, and I can't keep buying new cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I regularly read this forum and this is the first time I've heard of an issue as described. I bought a a cheaper 64Gb mSD card and used it with my Tab S day one. I've never had an issue. Could be you just have been unlucky? Were your cards from recognized brands? I suspect that the larger GB cards have lower yields so you need to buy a better quality card.

I definitely won't rule out being unlucky, it's definitely in my blood. I just find it odd the exact same thing would happen to two cards, months apart and with different brands and purchasing locations. PNY isn't super awesome, but they're not garbage, and Samsung is fairly prominent.
Samsung phones and tablets are occasionally said to be sd card killers. The GS3 definitely was, killed like 3 cards with the same result as you got.
Sometimes I feel it also affects certain sizes of card. The GS3 ate 16gb cards, but not 32gb cards. So it's quite possible that a different size card may have a longer life.
Not saying this has any base in research, just my experience.

I've read this on other forums as well, specifically the GS3 part. I wish there was a way to be sure. What happened to destroy the cards?
I am using a Samsung 64GB and Link2SD. Haven't encountered any issue so far. But on a related topic, I managed to destroy a 1 year old Sandisk USB drive yesterday while trying to format it as NTFS. Now Windows won't recognise it al all. It could just be that the flash memory had defects to begin with.
Does Windows make the bell sound when you insert your microsd, if it does you should be able to recover it, if it does not and you have checked the reader is working the microsd might be dead, if you have an sdhc adapter see if a camera or any other device will recognize the card, if it does format it in that device then see if windows will see it, I had an 16GB microsd a few years ago completely die when i froze while i was copying music to my phone, nothing would recognize the card after that it was totally dead, and i got a refund.

Windows does recognize the card, and I can see the contents of it and copy all content OFF the card. However, trying to format it just tells me the disk is write protected. I've done everything in my power to try to unlock the disk, including third-party programs and commands in the DOS prompt, but it's still write-protected. So bizarre!
I had the write protect problem on an card myself a few years ago, I downloaded an app that let me remove the protection and the card worked fine after that.
Does the write protection stop a camera from formatting the card, or only windows, as i said it`s been years since i had my problem.
Have you tried a partition manger app, I have used the one below for years, but i dont know if it will be blocked by the write protection as well.

I actually don't own a camera, the only things I have that take SD cards are computers and Android tablets/phones. I haven't tried that particular partition manager (Chrome won't let me download it - it says it's unsafe?), but the Windows manager and an HP one someone recommended both say "Failed to format disk."
I have uploaded the app i used, It years old so i most likely does not work but you can give it a try.

I would download partition wizard with another browser or force chrome to download it. Its a perfectly legitimate app which I've used many a time.
You need a low level format and partitioning software like that. Windows is useless on its own.
Delete the sd card partition, recreate and reformat.

I downloaded it through Edge, and everything worked fine. It even seemed like it was going to work, until I hit "apply". Then it sat and thought for a while, and told me there was an error with the format of the disk. Instead of trying to recreate 2 partitions, I tried to just see if it would format at all, and when I applied that change, it said it completed successfully, but the disk was still in it's former state - full of my files, fully readable, and definitely not formatted. I feel like this stupid thing is haunted.
So for this problem, can anyone give me an opinion on whether it's hardware or software based? Such as, do you believe this is happening because it's a Samsung tablet, or with a bug on their current Android version? I'm hesitant to keep putting cards in it, but I want to use my tablet!
Have you flashed or rooted your tablet? , are you on kitkat or lollipop?

It was rooted, but it was on stock 5.0.2. I used root to run Link2SD.
Link2SD only moves apps not music, so why did your music disappear, have you used any cleaning apps as they can delete files that you want to keep.

Well I had Link2SD moving all kinds of crap. It was linking games, books, comics, magazines...lots of stuff. My music didn't disappear - in fact, nothing did. It's all still there, only the tablet can't see it. My computer can see it, I can copy and open the files, but I can't write anything new to the card, and I can't format it.
It sounds like your tablet is loosing the location of the files on your microsd, I would say Link2SD is at fault, I would give the developer a email with the problem your are having and see what they say.
EDIT: I just read the reviews of LINK2SD and some people are reporting files are disappearing.

@greycobalt: I recently had Link2SD card stop mounting the 2nd partition (formatted as ext2, that is used for Link2SD).
I'm using a SanDisk 64 GB micro SD.
1) Did you have this same problem? Were you able to recover your app files when you put the SD card into your computer?
2) Oddly enough, I can see the files on the 1st partition of the card, which is formatted to FAT32 and I can see everything on that in file explorer. You said that these even disappear?
3) What file format did you have for your microSD for Link2SD to be able to link apps to it?
