I Bought a 2gb Sandisk Micro SD card but it doesnt show in the memory section or using any file explorer, the 256mb one i got with the phone does work though.
Ive formatted to fat in windows as it works perfect with xp and OSX even shows it.
ive installed the sd fix from the forum but that doesnt fix my problem. Any Advice other than get another card?
ROM : 3.4.206.2 WWE
Radio : 02.67.90
Protocol : 4.1.13.28
ExtROM 3.4.206.101
Thanks in Advance
I hope you didn't buy a 2GB Micro SDHC card as currently only SD works on the Artemis. I have a 6GB Micro SDHC sitting in a draw, so it's an easy mistake to make. If it's SD, then not sure what the problem is.
It doesnt say on it sdhc, il have to wait till i get home now to find out as i aint got the adapter for it and look at it in windows
Have a few other things:
Double check it's formatted FAT32 < never tried FAT16, but that definitely works . You didn't buy this from China on Ebay did you, I bought a mini SD a couple of years ago as 'genuine Kingston' that only worked on my PC and never worked in my phone. There are some seriously dodgy copies out there.
If it's SDHC it should say on the card itself, so it's probably just SD.
Thought they had to be fat not fat 32
All Working now, dumped it in my camera, took a picture and then put it in the phone and it worked straight away sods law
cheers for the help
hallo sharktech,i also bought a 2 gb sd-card today and it works.
try to take out and in the card. i had same problem with an 512 mb card...
Hello. I woke up today and my microsd inside my Desire HD couldn't be found. I thought it was maybe some weird unmounting. I rebooted the phone. Phone tries to mount sd card: cannot mount: 'SD CARD NOT IN THE SLOT'. I manually take out the microsd and plug it in again: micro SD damaged, format?
I was in panic. I take the microsd and put in a card reader via usb on the desktop pc. Microsd is found and I can access the folder for 3 seconds, then it shuts down (no drive found). I used PC recovery to take the files I had interest in. It seemed it worked although I couldn't get everything...to transfer a few data it takes very long (I think it is because of the recovery process).
Anyway, just to say: yesterday evening I changed the font with fontchanger (I did it lots of times). This time, I didn't reboot. I clicked 'reboot later' and went to bed. Could it have something to do with this damage to the microsd? However after the reboot the font changed without problems....
Now I formatted (fast format) the microsd with Windows 7. I couldn't even do a full format because the drive unmounted by itself before the format was finished. That's why I did then a fast format, and tried to put files on it. MicroSD is still being read by Windows 7, file transfer complete at 6,5 MB/s.
I am still a bit unhappy....I don't want the microSD to fail on me again. I will keep a backup of it from now on. Anyway, this thing makes me want to buy a new microsd card. The one I have (16GB) is genuine sandisk and came with the desire HD. I may want to buy a 32GB....and I know there are lots of fakes. Do you have a trusted shop that can ship a genuine 32GB microSD (up to 6 MB writing speed) to europe?
No wait I just remembered that MAYBE the 16GB i have at the moment didn't come with the desire HD. I guess with the desire HD came an 8GB that I don't have anymore, and the 16GB I have now is the one I bought in tokyo (akihabara). Is there a way to check whether it's original Sandisk or not?

Yup, http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/Fake_Memory_Cards
Can I run that program even if the card is not totally empty? I am writing + verifying all available space (15176 MB) and it will take around 1 hour...
I was referring to the picture comparisons, so no idea. How did it turn out?
Hi,
I bought a trancend 32gb microsd SDHC class4 card for the note about 10 days back..Worked fine for 2 days then suddenly stopped working...Stopped working means does not get detected in the phone or on the laptop (there is no option for mount/unmount on the phone)..Ive tried my older 8gb card on my phone and that works fine..Ive also tried the screwed up card on my blackberry bold and it doesnt detect there as well..
Well, i thought its the card's fault and ordered a replacement...
They sent one and same story again!! worked for 2 days and same thing again
Now i dont know if its the card's problem or my phone's..Anybody with any idea??
PS - i am rooted and on criskelo v11.2 with speedmod 3-13 if it matters...also both times i had about 15gb of data in the card...
ive also tried blowing and cleaning the contacts..also tried inserting a piece of paper in the slot to cancel out loose contacts but nothing works
Thanks..
What was the file system on the card?

Very strange problem , but I am facing the same problem with a Trancend 32 GB card replaced twice and worked only for 1 day and then stopped recognising , not sure if it makes a diff the Mobo was replaced by Service center about 4 months back ,, may be a mobo fault? but my 16GB card just works fine
same thing happened to me also ..... i replaced a new 32g card let me see if it works fine or i will never buy another 32gb trancend card
since both r indians ill talk in tat context
flipkart now says they wont replace anymore and will refund the amount as credit! He also adviced that sandisk works better on the note for this capacity..i dont know wat logic he had! please do update if u find a solution/alternate
@anirudh - which company is that 16gb from? maybe ill have to make do with 16gb since 32 doesnt work
32Gb micro SDHC class 4 by Transcend, not recognised by GT N7000
Hi All,
I'm using a GT N7000 on Official 4.1.2 XXLT5 (recently updated). I'm using a Transcend microsd 32gb class 4 for about a year now with this note. But I'm facing this issue of 'blank SD' and 'unable to format' from 2-3 months now after I updated to one of the official OS upgrade.
I've tried reverting back to all the earlier versions of Android where it worked fine, but there seems to be no change. I can read the card using an external card reader in my laptop, but not through the phone.
I've tried formatting it to all the possible types (NTFS, exFAT, FAT32), nothing seems to work, for the note. I can read it on PC though.
I tried reading the same card in another device, but now it's not readable in that as well. Any suggestion/solution, much appreciated.
Thanks

Boot into recovery mode and go to mounts and storage. From there format the external memory card (format /sdcard). Alternatively you could try with a format from the "storage" in settings.
Use the card reader with ur pc. Go to disk management and format the card FAT32. Before formating, delete the partition/partitions on ur card. U should get unallocated space. Create partition and it should work. The big problem is that u may see some problems between note and 32gb card. The phone it may restart and u should go to recovery/download mode to restart it... good luck.

Hi guys
Upgraded to Note 2 N7105 International version 4 weeks ago, great phone and really loving all the features.
Trouble is I bought this because I wanted a more powerful phone than my previous Nexus S, so It could handle more powerful apps and games.
So on top of the internal 16gb of internal memory, I installed a Sandisk 64gb external card to store my apps and games, not realizing the phone does not support moving Apps to SD in standard form.
After investigating, found i could do it with a third party app with root access. So I rooted with Chainfires CF Auto Root, and installed link2sd App. My phone is definitely rooted as I have Titanium Backup working, but when i try to move any Apps to SD it says no free memory, and also to check SD card has been formatted with 2 partitions and they are both set to primary, and on the info page for link2sd its says the same about partitioning
I assume this formatting is my problem as the SD card is virtually empty, just 3 pics and 2 short videos on it, and still showing 59gb free when i go to settings/storage.
If this is my problem, how do I get it formatted correctly, I tried to do it through my computer running XP but only get format command, with no option for Partitions or any thing, are there any programs or procedures you can recommend
Thanks in advance

There is a mod that lets you swap internal memory with sd card. Have a look in this threat.
If you only need to format your sd card to FAT 32 then you should get the GUI version of this app here
SD card format
Thanks for the info Retrorom
Have decided not to go down the internal external memory swap route, for various operational reasons, plus quite a few people seem to be getting issues with it. And the other one didn't seem to have a facility to make your own partitions, which is what i need.
After reading up a bit, From recommendations I have installed a program called Minitool Partition Wizard on my computer.
The only problem now is when i attach the card to the computer, it is showing as only having 27gb of usable memory, whereas in the phone it was showing 59gb. I thought this may be because it needed reformatting, so I formatted on the computer, and it was then only showing 27gb i when inserted in the phone, so i have again reformatted the card in the phone, and again now showing 59gb as it was originally. But i still still only have1 partition, and need 2 for the link2sd program to work
The trouble is when i put the SD back in the the computer it still only shows 27gb that is 32gb short of the 59gb what it shows while in the phone.
Was wondering why this should be, I'm running an old Pentium 4 system with XP on it, would it be that this can not handle or recognise 64 gb cards.
Just to mention i will be upgrading this computer 2 Windows 7 within the next week or so, and also going to build a brand new one in a couple of weeks which will have Windows 7 also , so should be a lot more compatible and flexible if that is the problem
SD Card Format
Update
I've been reading up, and it seems, Windows, especially earlier versions cannot recognize or format SD Cards over 32 gb, something to do with errors in the architecture, which wasn't originally designed for cards of this size.
There is a driver update, to get over this, but negotiating the Microsoft site to download it is proving to be a bit of a mission, It's ridiculously complicated, just sending me round and around in circles to try and find the download.
So if anyone can point me to the download, or a download that will do the job it will be much appreciated
Download exfat support for old XP machine
Download and use file according your XP system 32/64bit
you will get format with exfat format. which support larger size.
Another thing i recommend is 'directory bind' for moving data to ext SD card, this also make hassle free factory reset, Here is guide.
Thanks Ketan
I've already got the exFat support loaded, though it still only shows 27 gb on card
Now looking at the directory bind, and may give that a try later, once I've given it a good read and know i'm not going to do anything wrong .
Will let you know later how it goes
I'm actually surprised the phone supports higher than Windows. Most phones are limited to 32 gb cards are they not?

have you try formating it on PC with exfat support?
UnL33t My Galaxy Note 2 Automatically recognises the higher capacity
Ketan yes I've tried to format on computer with exfat support, but still only shows 27gb, and when i put back in phone it showed 27gb in there too, so had to reformat it in the phone and now showing 59gb as it was originally,
But still showing 27gb when put in computer
I am going to upgrade my XP up to windows 7 in a couple of weeks, and also going to build a new games machine with Windows 7 on in a few weeks too, do you reckon they will have better support for the higher capacity card built in
Hi Fellow FLO owners!
Has anybody had any luck when using a 64 GB MicroSD card with their OTG cable?
I have already unlocked the bootloader and loaded a custom recovery and rooted my device, I then replaced my 32 GB microSD card with a new 64GB hooked up to my OTG cable via the USB port. For the life of me, I cannot read the newly formatted 64 GB MicroSD card? Has anyone tried this yet with a 64 GB sized card and was able to read their data? Was there something special I needed to do as well, download some other app or what have you?
If so, please tell me HOW you got that working or PM me.
Thanks!
Far-from-new-to-rooting and unlocked bootloaders, but, baffled nevertheless.

While I don't have a tablet in my hands yet to confirm or deny this theory, my guess is this:
A 64GB microSDXC card is going to come preformatted with exFAT; your stock Nexus 7 can't read exFAT partitions.
You can either reformat the card, or use a program to mount exFAT partitions (like this thing), or install a ROM that can read exFAT partitions (CyanogenMod 10.2 can do so; so can others, probably).
Ah, that sounds good, I shall give it a try and report back on my results! Thanks very much!!!

Oh, before I forget to mention it:
What recovery are you using? There's a very good chance it will be able to read / format the card for you.
Really? TWRP v 26.00
Oh well, I already reformatted it to NTFS now, the Paragon App didn't work. Currently, recopying files over now to the microSD card as we speak, will take about an hour.
Thanks again!
