Hi guys,
I have a 32g class 10 sd card I bought to use instead of my 16gb class 2 but I have been facing quite some issues in the last couple of weeks
I took the 32g, put it in my win7 PC, formatted it to FAT32, safely removed it and now the arc doesnt recognize it... I just wanted to format it via the settings-> storage -> erase card in order to make sure everything is all peaches and cream before loading 20+gig of music in it.
...
All I want to do is finally transfer all my music (24ish gig) to the new 32g , and back up all my apps and stuff via Titanium Back Up pro.
Simply said, I want to have my 16g card data in my 32g one , with all my beat
Please could someone share some tips or links, I'll do homeworks and have been, but I have been facing so many complications since the last few weeks
Thanks in advance
Does your phone recognize another card properly?
Did you apply a volume name when formatting the 32GB card?
Did you try the 32GB card in the phone before formatting it?
I've done pretty much the same as you with a 32GB card (Kingston Class 4) and had no problem.
Are you sure the 32GB card is good and not a counterfeit?
Try formatting it again to with FAT32, default parameters, short or no volume name. Try copying your files to the card on the PC to see if it actual works.

Thanks I did put a volume name. That might explain it.
Yes the card already worked ( plenty of times ). I have been trying numerous time to transfert the music ( takes forever to transfer 20gig to an SD card , even class 10... ), and had mixed results that always ended up failing ( most of the times because of me... like forgeting to safely remove the sd card from my laptop made the card unrecognizable by the phone afterward...of course I just finished to tranfers the 20gig and was too happy to safely remove it... )
I will try that right now. thanks again
*EDIT*
Bah still same problem I must be doing stupid... SD card is not recognized by the phone. In the settings menu ( storage ) I cannot mount or unmount it and thus format it via the phone itself
That even after reformating it to default FAT32 partition with no volume name using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home
So number 1 priority is getting the SD card to be recognized again by the phone
**EDIT2**
When browsing the card with astro it says problem creating external cache , with root explorer it only says directory is empty. Still can't do anything in the settings menu
Obvious statement, but did you set it to primary?

It's a memorette class 10 :S
Or format it wrong, Arc will say it's damaged and say that it has to format it to detect it.
Should fix it, too.

Ya I'd love to get to this point ( which I got in the past hehe ) but at the moment it's still not even recognizing the sd card anymore
still formating btw....
How did you recover your issue?
I think I have a similar SD card problem. But, I encountered it after I did factory reset with SD card erase option selected. I didn't do anything after all. When I connect to PC, on the phone upper bar, there is no notification regarding USB. The middle button seems not working either.
Try formatting the card with this Panasonic SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card formatter.
That's strange why not just do a quick format in Win7 or WinXP, to FAT32? I use a 32GB as well and Arc has no issue with it. Coming from the 8GB, here's what I did.
1. Take off the 8GB from the Arc and placed in a USB reader.
2. Copy off all the files to your PC. I used WinRAR to accomplish this, just archive everything and STORE it (no need to compress so operation is faster). Or you can just use drag and drop plain copying its all the same.
3. Analyze the copied files and remove all unneeded bloats (ie. old movies u don't intend to watch anymore, clear out useless temp files, etc)
4. Copy back the files on your new FAT32 formatted card using the USB reader, then put in your Arc.
If you notice, the entire data migration is done via card reader/USB. Using the Arc as such will slowdown your progress and introduces unnecessary delays.
You can also use usb tool, it basicaly creates a back up image and can be restored to the new sd

Hello, I'm new to the forums.
Today I bought a 32 GB MicroSDHC memory card for my at&t s3.
Behaviours:
1) I inserted it into my phone and then I tried taking some photos. I set the output path to the card and I took a picture. The picture was successfully saved to the sd card, but when I tried taking a second picture, I received an error: "Cannot write file in SD card. Default storage set to Phone". If I try again to set the memory card as default storage I can again take another photo, but the next one will fail as described again.
2) With SD card mounted to the S3, I plug in the USB to connect it to my computer. I can then see the card and view the files on it. However, I'm unable to write anything on it. (Copying something to the card will freeze my windows explorer)
3) If I insert the card into my computer via adapter, then all works fine. I can write to it fine.
It seems that the problem only occurs when the sd card is used by the S3.
Note: I have checked the card for read-only notches and it has no such thing.
Note2: I have a rooted phone running JB 4.1.1 stock.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe you can try reformatting it.
reformat it in what way? I've already tried exFat, Fat32 and NTFS. NTFS and exFat give a "blank card" error, while Fat32 won't let me write stuff like I described. And I've reformat the card a couple of times already.
Edit: well, I did so using windows format app.
Do you know of other better apps?
Also I forgot to mention that I can't format the card via samsung s3 built-in app because it always returns "blank error" in that case.

I also had a problem with a new card and I took mine out and put it back in the phone and it finally worked. I just made sure it was pushed in all the way and seated properly.
I have just tried to use the card on a Galaxy S Plus. It worked flawlessly. I format it from that phone and then I inserted it into the Galaxy S3. It still won't work on the S3.
Why is this? I'm becoming desperate. This issue is bugging me a lot. Please any help will be appreciated.
Update: Even tried a galaxy S2. It works fine. Same problem on S3 though.
Having an issue with my T-Mobile S4. Starting yesterday after resetting my phone freezes up after I insert an SD Card into it. I leave the SD Card out and the phone runs fine, pop in an SD Card and it freezes up after about 5 minutes. I have reset the phone completely and I am still having the same issue. I have tried different SD Cards that I have and the issue still happens on each SD Card. I originally was using a 64 GB sd card and I transferred the files to each SD Card, so my question is, is it possible that a file on the SD Card is corrupted and causing this issue or is there something else going on? I have a lot of other things I could try to do to narrow it down I know but I figured I'd throw this up there to see if anyone has had this issue also.

Have you ever tried to remove the SDCARD and plug it into a card reader or into the computer and copy all files and folders
from the card to an empty folder on your computers desktop.
After that format the 64GB microsd using FAT32 in your Windows computer.
Then put it back into the phone as a blank empty sdcard.
Then check out the phone and see if it has any issues with the sdcard. Chances are excellent that doing that will fix the problem.
If it does you can copy all the files and folders from your computer back to the sdcard in the phone.
Good luck!
I have 2 64gb sandisk 10x microsd with Samsung S4 I9005 with Android 4.3. I formatted with android, also Windows 7 64bit with various types of sizes on laptop. However on laptop or on phone after writing some files and disk scanning, it gives many disk errors. Even after scancheck and correcting it.The errors repeat each time. I wonder if it is software or microsd hardware problems. There is no problem with 32 gb sandisk microsd.

I am stumped! I got a Sandisk 64gb sd card for this. Naturally, it came formatted as exfat. From stock through 3 different CM based ROMs, I can't get this S4 to read the SD card. I even downloaded a partition manager to format it to Fat32. I also wiped it and let the phone format it. Even after that it would read it. I know CM now supports exFat format. I even flashed separately the script from the original thread. In any case my laptop has no problem with the sd card. Any help appreciated.
I have a Patriot 32 gb class 10 that was working fine until s couple of days ago. Then the phone said sd card unexpectedly removed. Pulled battery and card nothing. Did a format still nothing put that card in my Asus transformer tablet. read just fine took the card thatvi had in my tablet without formatting it put it in my s4 and it read it. this is my 4th galaxy device they should have figured this out by now. Any suggestions.

The sudden unmounting and/or sd card not being recognized by the S4 and other devices as mentioned is a known issue that is usually SD card related. Sometimes it's just a matter of reformatting your card to Fat32 if your ROM cannot read exFAT cards.
But if that's not your issue or you already reformatted your card to the appropriate format, the SD card has failed and warranty/replacement is suggested.
Can happen to SanDisk cards in addition to other manufacturers.
You may hear this issue being associated to SanDisk cards if only because they are probably the most counterfeited card out in the market. But the issue can occur to non counterfeit cards also.
To reduce your chances of having theses issues happen, always get your cards from reputable sources, in blister original packaging, etc. And if the price looks too good to be true, it most likely is. Even if you take the above precautions, you can still have issues.
Always back up your data for that 'Just in case moment' in case stuff happens.
Purchasing a card whose Manufacturer and/or Seller has an excellent return/exchange policy is a plus.
Having a spare SD card available can help you troubleshoot what your issue may be regarding a defective card, formatting issue, device issue, etc.

I started to reply to you but my laptop crashed. Seems this s4 just doesn't like that 64gb sandisk. I had an 8gb card laying around and that worked like a charm. The sandisk was foramted exfat out of the box. I formated fat32 and didn't work. I wiped it and left it without format. Put in the phone to let it format the card. It did--fat32 and then still wouldn't read it or even mount it.
I sure don't have anything to lose by trying a different program to format that card. It could come in handy even if I don't use it in the phone. A camera comes to mind.
Oh yeah, it was easeUS that I used to format the card in the first place. Try something else.

Hmmm...
There have been issues with the 64gb SanDisk cards being read by the S4 as well as other devices as described in my previous post, the Ultra cards from what I've read (red & grey) I have the save card, class 10, running without issue on my previous S3 and current S4.
You may want to try the format link above.
You can always purchase another 64GB card on Amazon with a Seller with many, excellent reviews, and go from there, and return what you have to return
Right. That's the very card I have. Thanks for the help.

Anytime.
Let me know how it goes
This happen to me but with my galaxy s3...turned out sd card was corrupted. Good news was Patriot replaced it with a new one....
If the SD card didn't work in other devices I would seek to exchange it. There are other things I can use it in. I just ordered a 32 GB G skill on new egg. That should do it. The other thing I tried on this sandisk is partition it to 2 smaller ones less than 30 GB each formatted to fat32. Finally it recognized one of those partitions. When I get the other card I'll swap them.

I had the same problem as you OP. I've also downloaded programs to change the format type and stuff, but nothing worked, but I fixed it in a weird way.
My 64gb card didn't work on my samsung. I used many programs to format the card to get it to work, but nothing. What fixed it was....
I took that card and placed it inside my old smartphone (LG G2X). Once placed inside, a pop-up promoted me saying my card was damaged and it will try to fix it. I've tried this on my samsung and it didn't fix it, but once I tried it on this old smartphone, the card for fixed and started to work on my samsung.
I don't know if this could help you, but that's how I fixed my problem.

I had tried that already when the device initially wouldn't read the sd card. When I partitioned the card in FAT32 then the device picked it up, but only one partition of 29GB.

I don't know what your problem is, then. My 64GB Sandisk card works perfectly in my Galaxy 4.
I don't know what me problem is either. When I have the time I going to return to stock and start over. TWRP won't backup onto the SD card either. Wondering if its behaving this way because I rooted the phone before putting SD card in. Though I have done complete wipe (including internal memory) prior to installing current ROM.

I have a SanDisk 64gb micro SD card in my S4, and had it ever since I got the phone about 1.5 years ago. now I am getting the issues you all are getting. I have NOT updated to a new firmware version. and I just backed up and reformatted the card. Very frustrating when all your apps disappear. come to find out they are all being stored on the SD card witch is now not responding... I will try a differect card. I wish they would just leave the phone a lot and stop doing so many updates.. they update one thing it screws up another. Ever since the first update my "Drive" app don't work, and they have no clue why.. not even Samsung knows...

Odd SD Card Response
I have recently upgraded from a ATT Samsung Express (Tracfone) moving my 32GB SD Card into the brand new Galaxy S4 I Knoxed up right out of the box just as a matter of principle. I saferooted the phone and installed TWRP which for some reason refuses to load after a few succesful tries and a backup of my system and restore thern reload of TWRP. My concern in this question (unless some knight in shining armour can make sense of my TWRP issue) is that I am not able to write to the samsung branded SD card I removed from the old phone. I cannot create a ROM directory on it when the phone is connected to the PC, nor can I copy files to it. I had hoped to preserve the photos on the card and suppose I can break down and buy an adapter so it will connect to my PC but the point is it "should" work,, no? I cannot create a directory when the phone is connected to the PC nor can I in ES file Explorer. I've also tried to create a directory in root witth ES and am getting the same error. I just want to get the silly balloons off m screen and get google play to run. I am succesfully rooted. I've tried to reload TWRP with Odin only to get the small print int he uper right hand of the screen then no further. I am able to restore my backups thank God.
This is making me batty on a three step process. The card is my main concern right now as I can't load the ROM to it once I get TWRP figured out. Thanks in advance for all the great help I always get. The better I get the more I'll contribute....I promise.

I'm having the same problem. We are not alone, there are numerous threads in the other S4 forums, like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281813&page=14
Hi,
I have just purchased 64 GB Class 10 Samsung micro SD card with a SD adapter and USB adapter.
I plugged it in to my S4 and everything seemed OK. Copied all of the contents from my old SD. Everything was working fine until I restarted my phone. After restart all of the files were present by could not access them. Some of the files and folders had ~ as prefix. Plugged the card in my PC and the files were corrupted. Recopied everything and tried several times again. The same outcome. Reformatted the card to exFAT and to FAT32 both from my phone or my PC using several available programs. No success. Whenever I unmount the SD card or restart the phone the files get corrupted. So I figured the card is broken. So I decided to test it only on my PC. Copied lots of stuff to it (music, movies etc.) and started using it on my PC. I have mounted/unmounted it on my PC probably 100 times and it works just fine. So that means that the card is fine (or am I wrong???). Also tried it to plug it with the usb adapter into my TV. It says that usb disk is empty.
The files only seem to get corrupted when I place the card in my S4 and unmount it/restart the phone. The card works just fine on my PC.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I am running a rooted 4.3 Android OS.
Thank you!
You have to partition the card into 32GiB chunks. So make two, 32GiB partitions and it will work fine in your S4, except it will show you have two external sd cards.

If you don't want to make two seperate partitions on your external microSD card then do the
following:
Remove your external microSD and plug it into a card reader and or the adapter which came
with the card then plug it into your computer.
Make an empty folder on desktop of computer and copy all files and folders from the microsd
card into the empty folder.
Format your external microsd using this windows utility and copy all the files/folders back onto
the card from your computer and replace it into your phone.
Here is the direct download link for this fat32 formatter which is a windows utility:

By doing the above your external microSD card should work fine in your phone.
Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. I did as you suggested and it worked for some time. I mounted/unmounted several times and it seemed fine. Then did a restart and the files were corrupted again.
Why does the card need to be divided in 2*32GB in the first place? Isn't the S4 suppose to support 64 GB cards?
Your suggestion seemed to isolate only part of the problem. It remains only the restart. What can be associated with corrupting data on sd card and android restart?

No, it depends on your kernel if it supports a certain FS. I am not sure why your files are being corrupted other than one, your ROM isn't unmounting your card properly on restart or two, your card has issues. Again, I am not sure.

In that case do you suggest I try changing kernel? Do you think that might help? My kernel version is 3.4.0-2082040 if that means something. Do all S4s come with the same or different kernel? Will it help If I unroot or maybe install other ROM for different country or different operator?

All the stock S4's come with the same kernel, so if your S4 is stock then it's not a kernel issue.
Have you tried any other external microsd cards, if not that's what I would do next.
Most of the better microsd cards have either a 2-3 year or a lifetime warranty.
Good luck!
I currently use my old 8GB sd card with no problems whatsoever. My S4 is rooted. Does that change the kernel? Should I unroot?
