[Q]Samsung sdxc pro 64gb doa? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Just got my Samsung microsdsx uhs-1 pro 64gb in the mail today.
So far the card isn't working great.
I started to copy music over to it and then i suddenly unmounted and the phone said the card was corrupt and i had to reformat it.
After the format the the card worked for a few minutes then the phone says that the size is 0.00mb and windows says 128mb.
Is the card doa or is this a problem with the note2?
Edit: This is bought at full price at a Norwegian webshop.
Now the phone just says "blank SD card" "SD card is blank or has unsupported file system" and then it tells me to format witch fails.
Edit2: Windows shows the card as 26.5gb. This is probably because i don't have a card reader witch supports this card?

I would try and warranty it. It is possible you may have borked the card unmounting it while writing. Unlikely but possible. Otherwise all you can do is format it til it works, if it works again.

I din't unmout it while copying. The phone unmounted the card a few minutes after the copying was finished.
I still can't format it on the windows machine. I'm trying now with the sd card formater tool and sdxc card reader.
A new card is underway. They just told me to throw this one away. Didn't even want it back.

Try formatting in recovery like twrp

I had the same Problem with my Samsung 64GB Card.
Maybe you can try to format it with your recovery. But this didn't worked for me.
I had to send it to the Samsung Repair-Center and to wait one month until they sent me a new one.

i've tried everything possbile with this card and it didn't help. But since the shop just gave me a new one no questions asked, this is probably not the first time.
This card goes in the trash, awaiting new card.

Mini SD RAW format advice

Hi all,
I just got a new Sandisk 1GB Mini SD for my Wizard. I put it in my phone and it was recognized immediately. I copied a few files across (my TomTom install and a few maps) and then finished the install. I had to soft-reboot to get TomTom to work - but after rebooting my card doesn't work. When the phone starts up it asks if I want to format the card. I tap yes and it goes away - but doesn't really do anything.
I have taken the Mini SD out of my phone and put it into the card reader that's in my laptop. Windows recognizes that it is a SD card and also prompts to format it - but when I try to format it as FAT or FAT32 it says it can't complete. I have tried doing it through DOS too, but it comes back as saying that there is a bad Track 0 and the card is unusable.
I'm struggling to believe that the card is now poked after just copying some files onto it. I'm hoping that it's just something to do with the file system that has dies somehow. Does anyone know how to reformat the card (either through my phone or Win XP) or how can I resurrect this sucker?
Thanks in advance!
try pocket mechanics
thanks rudegear. I tried pocket mechanics, but it doesn't even recognise the card. I believe that pocket mech will only work if my phone can see the card first. this isn't even happening. the phone obviously knows that there is a card in it, as it says that the expansion slot is in use, but it can't read the card at all. any other ideas?
sounds like you have a fake card. 128mb cards formated to show 1gb, you copy more than 128 they corrupt. this happened to me
okay. I've given up on this card and have sent it back. no more trying to ressurect the dead for me!
has the new card solved the prob? The problem Iam having is almost identical to yours. I purchased a 2gig mini sd card (bn) for my atom. When inserted into my laptop's integrated sd reader, it would recognise a card has been inserted but would not open the card (but the Atom recognised the card).
Thinking I have bought a faulty card, I sent it back to manufacturer. The seller tested and concluded there is nothing wrong with the card but sent me a new one.
I had the same trouble with the new card. Convinced the card was not faulty, I purchased a new card reader.
The firt day i connected the card into the reader. things were SMOOTHE! I was lovn life. The card was read instantaniously and i proceeded to fill the card with a hole heap of goodies (including tomtom).
I used up approx 100mb of stuff that day and ejected the card from reader and inserted in my atom. Data was read with no trouble on pda and pc.
I inserted the sd card back into card reader the following day and now it seems the data originally put on from the first 'contact' is now locked. I cannot delete nor add anything else to the card. Oh and before anyone asks: yes, the lock was and is in the UNLOCK position (i dont even use the lock).
So my next move now is to exchange my card reader with a simpler/single slot. I read somewhere that cardreaders/devices sometimes lock data (dont know how true it is but got no choice).
in summery:
buying an external card reader solved the initial issue of recognizing/reading sd card but created another problem of LOCKING the sd card.
Is anyone else having issues with large sd cards?
I solve the problem by inserting card to Digital Camera that use SD card.
it formatted without error.
Card Reader and other phones does not format it. I think because of file system.
hmm... I will try that. will keep you all posted.

Do you 'safely remove' the card before removing it from your PC?

Yes I did, I have actually never taken it out of my phone all along, I only just took it out now to format on the pc as it wouldnt format on the desire, now windows is unable to complete the format, what other software can i use to force a format...
I had this exact issue with a cheapo 16gb memory card. I now use a branded 8gb and no problems at all. I had lost all photos and maps for copilot and decided enough was enough. Not sure if Android is not too happy with 16gb or the fact it was a cheap card.
I now use a Samsung class 6 8gb card. Works perfect.

You can format straight from the phone's settings
Goto settings>>SD & phone storage>> ... First choose Unmount SD card, then Format SD card, it will automatically remount it.

Interestingly this is the sandisk 4gb card that came with the phone from Tmobile, so its shouldnt be a problem. I guess though

I did try to try to format on the phone but after formating it does not mount the card back to the phone. and I took it out and try to do it on a pc even try using the panasonic SD formatter but still will not format.
What do you reckon guys send it back to tmobile.. or what?
Yeah, if the panasonic formatter fails, Id send it back. I had a similar problem a long time ago with a SanDisk card and they were happy to replace it.
Yeah...thanks for that, just spoken to tmobile and they will put another in the post for me...
I've been dealing with this exact issue as well. Very frustrating. I had a 16GB SD card in my G2 and photos would intermittently disappear then reappear a few days later. I got an Amaze with a 32GB card and it does the same damn thing. Any suggestions?

problems with 64gb microSDXC and CM9

is there any way to get my new 64gb microSDXC card working in CM9? I know that the card works and that the phone can read it because it mounts fine in recovery, but when I put it in my phone, it just says it's damaged, and when I try to format it, it says it's being checked, then immediately says it's damaged again
it's not the end of the world because my 32gb card isn't completely full yet, but I'd like to get it working before it does completely fill up

Have you tried formatting the card while in CWM? What make is the card? I know people have had success with the SanDisk Mobile cards, but I'm not sure if they were running CM9.
I'd suggest formatting from a computer using the official SD Formatter tool here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
This does a low level format. It's better than just formatting the card from the phone or with Windows.

Found this really nice deal on Amazon.
Just ordered one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007WTAJTO/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?redirect=true
I'd say be careful. If you check some reviews, I heard when they sell out, they replace it with Class 6.

You don't have to worry if you buy from Amazon. If you buy from a third party make sure it says "fulfilled by Amazon", you'll get super saver shipping and it will be exactly as described.
It's Sold by Amazon and
Fulfilled by Amazon,
so I'm not too worried about it.
If they ship something other than what I ordered, I'll just return the item
I've always had good experiences with Amazon, as long as the Items are Sold by Amazon directly, or if the Seller's Return Policy is the same as Amazon's.
I read through All 12 pages of Amazon reviews.
This Is a Class 10 Card.
The 4th reviewer was only stating his opinion. Every Reviewer (111 of 112) received a Class 10.
And the 4th reviewer most likely also received a Class 10.
I'm actually using this card right now. Ordered it Saturday, got it Wednesday. Works like a champ.
From Amazon, of course. The price was cheaper than ebay, with none of the risk.
Bought this card last night...hope it works in a 16 GB verizon s3...
I would live to get one of these but I'm in Canada. Anyone want to order one for me?

I can't see pics at work if you uploaded a pic with that, but does your computer read it? Does your phone say its corrupt? If everything says it's corrupt you can probably go to control panel -> hardware and do a full format (25/30 minutes). If nothing recognizes it at all, it's bad and you should request a replacement/refund.
had a hard time formatting the very first time. I am going to do a full format now, if that doesnt work, its going back. Thanks for the help.
Tried everything i know how...i am sending it back...thanks
Just received mine, and installed it in my S3.
Working Perfectly
This is what I did:
- I removed my SanDisk 32GB Class 6 card from my S3 after 'Unmounting' it.
- I saved All data on the card to a Folder on my pc
*the 32GB card is FAT32
- I installed the 64GB card into my S3, Formatted it, and Removed it after 'Unmounting' the card.
I transferrerd All data onto my New 64GB Card via my pc
- I installed the 64GB card into my S3 and Everything is Working Fine
*the 64GB card is exFAT
The 64GB card had 59.47GB Usable memory beforing transferring my folders over to it.

Your card arrived in the cardboard/blister packaging?
Don't know what the odds are of getting a defective card, taking into consideration the Seller, packaging, etc. But hopefully your replacement card will have no issue.
Have you tried to install the card into another device, if one is available?

You can but you can't format it using the Windows formatter. I used easeus software to format mine so that the card would be visible in clockwork recovery. exFAT is not supported there. Had a bit of a scare after formatting with the HP utility. Repartitioned in easeus but it would only read on the computer and it would FC system apps on my phone. Figured out that the partition needs to be primary not logical (what easus defaults to for new partitions) to work on the phone. All you have to do is pop the card in the computer, open easeus and format fat32. Don't mess with partitions

I didn't realize that Clockwork didn't read exFAT.
I just did a backup to my Internal storage cause as you say, CWM didn't see the ext. SD card.
I'm gonna reformat the card now.
Thanks.
Is this what I need to use to convert to FAT32?
http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-380-easeus-partition-master
I'm going to do the following:
- format 64GB card in my S3, which will delete all data
- install Easeus onto my pc
- put 64GB card into my pc
- open Easeus Utility, and format 64GB card to FAT32.
- reinstall Folders previously saved on my pc from my 32GB FAT32 card to the newly formatted 64GB card
- install card into my S3, and I should be good to go?
UPDATE:
- Formatted 64GB card to FAT32
- CWM recognizes card
All is well in the neighborhood

SD card problem. does not work and mount. HELP Please

Dear readers,
I hope you all fine.
Just bought LG G3. Shifted from S5. Facing problem of SD card not being shown in the setting> storage and not even the file manager.
When I plug in the sd card it shows a notification in the phone, "SD card inserted". However, after showing this message it does not show in Storage (setting) and file manager. Meanwhile, the sd card perfectly works in S5 even I plug it again.
Card: SanDisk 64GB xtreme series card.
Please tell me the solution to it. I am really worried.
First off, it might be a bootleg, I had the same problem. But, since you said you used it in your S5 and it worked, it's probably not.
The G3 might not be reading its contents or able to mount it properly, it senses it in the slot but can't or won't read it.
You can try backing up and copying your SD card's contents onto a PC. Then quick format it on your PC and then insert into in the G3, go to Settings then Storage and then, if it's mounted, choose Erase SD card.
After doing that, it should be able to mount the card and read/write to it. Then you can copy your files over to the SD card.
I noticed what might cause it not to be read is the Android and Data folders on the SD card (carried over and written by your other phone). I'm not sure if the G3 reads those and see other system files/configs and decides to ignore it or not.
i had the same problem. could never get an sdcard to mount, so i had to return the phone. my new one read the sdcard (same one) just fine. luckily, when i returned it, the VZW person didn't know to check for root... lol
Same issue for me but sd card was pefectly working since few hours...
Will try a backup and erase sd card

My SD Card died. I tried it several devices and it was "Dead Jim". Just got my replacement today from Amazon 17.99 for Samsung 32gb micro SD Card.
