Just thought I'd share this since most companies nowadays don't give a cap about the customer...
I had an issue with my sd card mounting and dismounting on its own and being unusable and I went to SanDisk support and let them know and they sent me a brand new one free! If you have had any issues, do not hesitate to contact them because they will actually do something about it! They have a lifelong customer now.
I've had same experience with them as well, I've had Kingston do the same with ram that went bad I'll never buy anything else again

Sandisk has always replaced my bad micro sd cards. All I had to do was give them the serial number off the back (get out your microscope), and then ship it in using their ups label. Week later I would get a new one.

I have no idea, call sprint
We're comin from a pure power source.
Actually the microSD card is considered an accessory and is not covered by any warranty. A store will more than likely tell you to purchase a new one.

anybody knows anything about this memory card?? its very cheap and im worried if its fake labelled as class 10...
cheers
most likely fake.

Fake for sure...Probably a 2Gb in real storage..
Just ask the seller if it is a genuinly 32Gb card. IF he answers yes, order one. Then test is. If it is not 32Gb then open a complaint with PayPal\Ebay and get your money back.
(I know...I've got two fake 32Gb Kingston cards at home if you're interested )
hahahha no i m not interested i need a real 32 gb..i believe is 32gb but the class is what worries me..
have bought simillar card from ebay and gues what? fake
Haha what a shame..guess what? I texted the seller and asked him if its true class 10 and that i would test it if bought..what was the reply? He adviced me not to buy.. lol

I know the s3 has expendable memory... But not all the apps can be installed on the memory. Would you go with the 32gb for extra $50?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I did not because 16gb of memory can be bought for 15$ and I use the Internet for most of the stuff I do on the phone. Not a big gamer but I can't imagine a game that would not fit on 16gb. You can move some apps to sd. It's up to you dog.

Both 16/32gb have external sd card slots. Supposedly supports up to 64gb microsdxc.

I'd go for it. That was my original intention, but I couldn't wait for T-Mob to get some in stock, and I refused to order it online. So I bought the 16 gig, will wait for updates to fix any issues and for JB, then I'll sell this one and defray the full cost of the 32gig. Might even be able to get it in black by then. Anyway, it's all in the future. I'm really happy right now.
And remember, its like a gun! Better to have the space and not need it than to need the space and not have it!

It's not worth the $50.
If you worry about your apps, (Which most of them are able to run from sd card) you can have them all in your phone and your photos/music/everything else in a 32GB sd card.
Here's a Samsung micro sdhc class 10, 32GB. $28

nah dont waste your 50$. I bought a 32Gb micro sd for like 15$ on amazon for all my media stuff (music, documents, video,etc). you have 11Gb for apps alone and no way you can fill that up (btw I dont install big games)
Not worth it, get a sd card that can then be used for future phones. Justification for me is that this phone will be drop in value when the S4 lte comes out and it doesn't matter if it is 16g or 32g the market will be flooded.

So you're basically telling him to avoid getting something he may want because when he goes to sell it, there will be a lot of them available?
If I was OP, I'd get the 32gb if he can get a deal on it. Even at the normal cost of the phone and a 64gb card, you have almost 100gb to store stuff. But then again, I use my 64gb card for the camera and video recording as well as internet radio recording and much more.

Not so much as telling him what to do but looking at it from another perspective like playing devils advocate.
The OP should also consider your perspective especially if warranted by his needs of memory usage
If you don't expect to get a SD card then the 32G phone would be a good choice. When you look at the maximum memory capabilities of the 32GB phone there is only a 16% reduction with the 16GB.
I got the phone subsidized 16GB for a total of $179 and when I asked CS what the cost difference of the 32GB would be and they said 80. If it was $30 I would have grabbed it but not $80. I think I made the right choice because by the time a newer phone comes around there may be a need because I expect to have a collection of music and videos by then for now I have almost squat.
If you have endless amount of apps then go with the 32gb. You can't at least not out of the box save apps to the sd card. For everything else the 16gb should be fine with expandable storage up to 64gb

So I don't know what's happening but I have a 32gb class 10 micro sd card. And once a week it just goes corrupt and my files are all corrupt. It's seriously getting on my nerves and I don't know what to do. I I've formatted it in the phone and in a pc and it doesn't matter it still happens.

Sounds like the card may just be faulty?
I have had one incident with my current SD card recently where it wiped itself but fortunately it hasn't happened again. I have a 32 GB Class 10 also. I have read of other experiences with QC issues with lesser known brands like "Patriot" (my current) or "PNY". I think for my next one I'll spend the extra dough and go Samsung. I hear those are built like tanks

I woke up this morning and noticed apps in my app tray showed signs of my SD card being disconnected. I opened Spotify and it could not locate the cache SD location. Going to try to swap my card and see if that's the issue
That is the reson to:
1.use Backup Cloud (dropbox/box with lg you should get 50GB for free only download app that sync auto and upload the pic&clips....)
2.buy a good SD (older ver of sandisk isn't working good with andoirnd) - I wish there is a list in XDA...
The SD card is most likely a bootleg or fake one and is not an actual 64GB card.
I had purchased two 64GB Samsung Pro cards off eBay (I know...) for my G3 and my wife's G3 and copied my files over and the G3 would show some of them as broken or corrupt, just like in that pic. If I had taken any pics or saved anything to the card, more files would become corrupted or just disappear.
I tried this several times and finally ran a SD read/write test on my PC and both cards came up as having only 7GB of space and not 64GB, with numerous errors. Cards were bootlegs.
So, got my money back and purchased two 64GB Samsung Pro EVO cards from Amazon and ran tests on them, no errors, no loss, actual 64GB cards and all that nice stuff.
Have had no problems as before, no stalls or delays recording 4K vids or taking pics or anything else for that matter.
I bought a unbranded 64 go SD card of eBay for 6 dollars. Tested just fine. Labeled as class 20 but I figure it is more like 6 or 4 lol.

fake cards are hacked to read that amount..the real ones would read 59.45..if u dont believe us try to max out the card..it would probably max out with 8gb
So far at 38 gb. For 14 dollars I would be happy with that lol.

I concur too, that card is most likely fake. They're programmed to read at whatever the card wants to be marked as. And you can copy all the files you want onto it, but when you go to access them or other, they're either corrupt or just disappear.
To be sure of what size SD card that you have, use H2TestW to read and write to the whole card. It'll report back on what the ACTUAL memory size of the card is, if there were any errors, defects or other to it.
I had bought two Samsung Pro 64GB micro SD cards just this month on eBay (I know...) and I was able to copy over 20GB of files onto them. But when I put it in my G3, over 3/4 of the files kept saying they were corrupted or would just be empty folders. Looked around online, found H2TestW, ran the tests on both cards and they both came back as being only 7GB cards with numerous errors and defects. I was only getting 1.5MBps write speeds. Bootleg cards.
I bought Samsung Pro EVO 64GB from Amazon, ran same tests, actual 64GB cards with not a single error or defect.
