Well, I bought the sd-card and for the first couple of days it worked flawessly - then it started to automatically unmount-mount-unmount-mount..
After a bit of duckduckgoing I found out that this particular SD card can cause troubles if produced before 2010 (mine is) but what I need to understand is the following:
- does formatting it x-times help?
- does it help to format it directly on the phone? I did so but then my Mac did not recognize the card..
- the mini is said to support 64gb sd cards --> why do so many people have issues?
- it says "made for Android" --> how can it not work on a Samsung?
- are there other 64gb cards that you ppl know of that don't cause any problems?
Thanks!
I had a 32GB "made for Android" Sandisk card and had the same problem, albeit in a different Android device. Sandisk say it's a manufacturing issue according to info in this thread.
My solution was to buy a Samsung card
But I did try all the things you mention - formatting in the phone / on PC, different filesystems (fat32, exfat, ext4) etc. The actual issue was intermittent I/O errors when reading and writing data which cause Android to unmount the card.
If I were you I'd RMA the card. I haven't done extensive testing of the 64GB Samsung card in the S4 Mini (I9195) but it seems to work OK. What I do know is that I won't trust Sandisk again...

*sigh*.. well, on the bright side now I have a 64gb SD card for my camera and at least my old 32gb Sandisk one still works with Mini.
I have same problem with 64GB SanDisk Ultra® microSDXC™ UHS-I card for mobile devices ... Are there any solution of this problem???
Stupid that sandisk still can't get 64gb cards to work properly in 2013 while advertising it's for Android.
This is ofc all based on yall input as I do not own a 64gb sandisk cards but a 8gb one. I'm now aware not to buy a sandisk 64gb card in the near future.

Ye I finally got an Android phone that can actually use the bloody card (had it since December '12) and it does the same thing.
Apparently there was a manufacturing problem around that time (affected 32/64GB MicroSDXC Class 10's), so SanDisk is apparently replacing these cards. Just contact them on support.

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.

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'm using a 128gb card from lexar on it and works fine..
(mine's the i747m just to clear it up...)
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
ok guys im about to order me a memory card. Do you guys think the 64gb is overkill? Second Question..is there a big differencein the class 6 and class 10 cards?

For day to day use, you will see no difference on Class 6 or 10 ... if you plan to copy/move large files or music files on a regular basis, then maybe a little ... Will definitely not affect any performance like Camera app, etc.
And I still prefer 32GB Class 10 for now.
64gb C10

Does the Note come with a card already installed? I just ordered this morning but have 32Gb SanDisk. I was going to get 64Gb SanDisk and leave 32Gb in my Motorola Photon. If Note comes with card already installed, if lesser I will put that in Photon and sell it

hi,
no,i got my note 2 out of box with no sd card.Had to use my own.
good luck
Class 6 and Class 10 write speed in Note 2 won't be a big difference.
I found Note 2's external memory controller write speed capped at around 10-11MB/s
But for read speed, it will be a BIG difference.
I am using Samsung 64GB UHS-I Pro micro SD.
Having like 55MB+/sec read speed.
with my old Lexar 32GB Class 10 only got 13MB/s read speed.
So, if you concern of read speed, get fastest card you can afford.
if your main concern is write speed, get a class 6 or class 10 would be fine.
And don't get SanDisk ultra. it's known to have problem with Note 2.

I bought mine in Hong Kong for USD 95.
It's expensive yeah but it's the fastest 64GB micro SD you can buy.
It's good for you that you don't have problem with SanDisk Ultra but you can search for Note 2 + SanDisk Ultra.
It has a known problem, after awhile of use or the disk capacity reached certain amount.
Sometimes it will unmount the card or even damage the files in the card.
You can only re format the disk to solve the problem.
MANY people reported this problem. I don't know maybe trigger rate is not 100% but still not recommended.
Darkinners, thanks for your responds and suggestions (which I took and did a search, then some research!)
1. All of these complaints on SanDisk were about the 32Gb Card, not the 64Gb card. All the 64Gb comments were good.
2. The people with issues (both 64Gb and 32Gb) had formatted the card at exFAT, not SDXC. Mathamatically, I can pretty much figure out a.) why it will not write files over 4Gb and b.) why the 64Gb exFAT crashes after it fills over 16Gb! (Think about it, SIII is desinged to read/store 32Gb, not 64Gb even though it will format exFAT. And as for the kid whos computer would not read the 64Gb exFAT, i bet he has 32-bit machine?
3. All complaints were from Europe and blamed on a bad batch of cards (it happens). The one happy individual I saw got his card from Amazon, which is a ligit website. Just because the card says SanDisk, does not mean it actually SanDisk. Cheap forgien vendors use this lable to make them look legit?
4. The card you mentioned and the SanDisk are priced about the same, $59.99USD. I will get SanDisk and format either in phone or my laptop as SDXC and play for awhile. If it piss me off, I will return it!
Again, thanks for your input and suggestions!
Hi, Has anyone found a 64GB microSD card that works flawlessly with the G Pad 8.3? I have been reading about issues people are having with the Sandisk 64GB card and I am curious if all 64GB cards have issues or only the Sandisk? Personally I have ordered the Sandisk but it has not yet arrived (neither the LG Pad) but I am wondering if I should return the Sandisk for another brand if there is one that works correctly. Thank you for any advise / feedback you can give regarding 64 GB cards you have used.
For info the one I ordered is:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...qid=1387796520&sr=1-1&keywords=micro+sd+64+gb
That's the card I have had many issues with and tried on two different G pads... I wonder if it's incompatible with 64GB cards somehow, since I have tried lower capacity sandisk cards without issue. SDXC issue maybe and needs to be SDHC perhaps? I haven't seen anything that specifies which format of SD card is compatible... I had issues with the 64GB sandisk card as soon as I inserted it, kept saying it was removed again , then reinserted. It COULD read and write to it but lost sight of it often. In recovery mode worked flawlessly and also on PC....
I have this Samsung card and it works perfectly.....

I'm happy to use SanDisk in my cameras, but for mobile devices I've read of too many problems. Samsung, on the other hand, seems to receive pretty universal praise. No doubt there are exceptions, but I went for Samsung based on rep and superior speed.
I've had no issues running the Sandisk 64GB card in my G Pad. Currently have it formatted with exFAT. I have a ton of stuff on it as well as moved all of my games onto it using Foldermount. Thus would know immediately if the card were to disappear / no longer be recognized. Check the format of the card. If you have it formatted in FAT32 then reformat it to exFAT. I believe exFAT is preferred with larger cards.
Thanks for the info about exfat, this sounds promising. Can anyone with the SanDisk card that is having issues try this and confirm if it fixes their issue. When mine arrives I will try it out but I need to wait another week or so. Thank you

I have a Sandisk ultra 64gb and use folder mount and run my games from it with no problems.

I certainly wouldn't consider Patriot a generic company!
I have a 64GB card from Komputerbay that was £35 from Amazon.co.uk that is working well so far. Came formatted exFAT.
I've lost faith in the SanDisk cards. Also, the Ultra cards that most people talk about are not very fast!

Hey All,
There are lots of mixed reviews about the support for Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. in terms for micro sd cards compatibility... Is anyone running a 64gb sd with no problems?
I am running a 16gb with no issues at all, however I have cheap 64gb which will not copy the correct data & corrupts most of the time...I believe this is due to being a rubbish quality/copy...
If there is anyone out there that is running a 64gb with no issues, please confirm the spec!
Thanks in anticipation.
The cheap 64GB card is likely counterfeit. It is probably a 16 GB card hacked to appear to be a 64 GB card. This happened to me. Bought a counterfeit Sandisk from an Amazon seller. It looked really, really, real...but I kept having issues and once the subject of counterfeits was brought to my attention, I noticed the packaging said Made in China while the card said Made in Taiwan - Sandisk doesn't make any SD cards in Taiwan. Before I realized that, I bought a cheap class 10 Samsung off of eBay, that was fake too. Buy from a reputable retailer. Google a Windows app called H2testw if you want to confirm whether your SD card is a 64 GB card.
I have a T211 and am using a 64GB card I bought at Fry's. After formatting it inside the tablet, it worked fine, although after I initially transferred ~37GB from my PC directly to the card, I put it in the tab, and from then on my PC recognizes the card as read only. But I can write data to the SD Card as long as it is inside the tab.
are 128gb cards supported?
