I thought I would start a thread on which Micro SD cards were recommended vs. those that fail early or are simply not compatible. I saw a thread earlier that appeared to show that some cards (and sizes) were better than others.
I can report that the Samsung 64GB card (says Class 10, HC, 24MB Read, 7MB Write) does NOT work in this tablet. I was able to use it just fine in my Note 2, and a laptop. However, the card doesn't work properly in my 2014 Note 10.1. An older Pansonic 16GB MicroSD card worked just fine however. I've tried formatting it in other machines, and it's still a bust. Currently, these cards are selling like wildfire on Ebay for $30.
So, what DOES work for a 64GB card? Any help is appreciated by myself and I'm sure a lot of others reading this forum.
Thanks in advance.
I have got a SanDisk 64GB card in mine. Also got the same type in My Note 3.
The SD card issue seems a bit odd, both of my cards were also fine in my older Note 10.1 and the Note 2. I've never had a problem with either of them
Samsung 64GB works just fine.
I have a 64GB Samsung MicroSD and it works just fine, haven't had to do anything to it, worked right out of the box.
Its a Samsung 64GB Class 10, UHS-1, Grade 1, 70MB/s MicroSDXC Pro Memory Card
I always buy memory cards directly from Amazon because there are a lot of fakes out there, so I know for sure this is a genuine product.
This is the exact one I purchased
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Mic...5658961&sr=8-1&keywords=64gb+samsung+micro+sd
i've tested my 64GB sandisk on my gn8 for a week now with no issues at all. one day after being put back in the gn10.1 2014 and it's acting up again. files, fail to delete, wrong size reported, inaccessable, etc. the 32GB sandisk works fine. both are uhs-1 formated exfat. take it out without reformatting and it works fine on my gn8 and pc. put it back on the gn10.1 and it won't mount without a reboot.

SanDisk 64 gb no problems
I have a 64gb Kingston SDXC10 and so far so good.
Adata 32gb. Perfect. One of the cheapest too.
Sandisk Ultra 32GB works fine in mine. Hurry - all sizes are on sale right now at some pretty good prices. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Micro...&qid=1385692005&sr=8-2&keywords=sandisk+32+gb
Problem solved...
Hey guys, thanks for the info. After some research I discovered that this was indeed a fake card I ordered from Ebay. Looks like this is a common problem as the packaging is *almost* perfect and you really can't tell the difference without some serious research. Luckily, the seller refunded the full amount back to me. Based on your feedback here I've ordered a SanDisk Ultra from Amazon.
Thanks for the help and & Happy Thanksgiving!

A really good way to check them is to simply try to fill it up. Only 4G of data will be saved and readable, whereas the other 60GB is corrupt.

It's sad that a lot of people get duped into buying fakes. But sites like ebay don't/can't do anything about it.
Memory cards/Usbs should only be bought from reputable sellers only (Amazon, Currys, Play.com etc) as there are wayyyy too many fakes out there.
I'm currently using a Transcend 64GB SDXC UH-1 Class 10 card which was formatted using the tablet.
It works fine except for one annoying problem. When transferring large, singe or multiple files, say 1.5GB+ HD movie or a huge amount of photos, from internal to external storage, the device would freeze. After it starts up again i notice that i can no longer access my SD card even though the device says it's still mounted. The only way i can fix this is by removing and reinserting the card or rebooting the device. Although there's no problem transferring files from a computer straight to the SD card.
Anybody encountered a problem like this? Is there anyway to fix it?

Yes, I'm having the same issue. Except the SD card will randomly lose the files even though it still shows the card is still mounted. Just recently I was watching a movie from the sd card and this happened.
I am using a SanDisk that was being used in my note 2 for the past year (never had problems with it before).
This is especially frustrating when trying to sync files with Plex.
Anyone have any ides?

Same for me
I know I'll sound like a noob, but my 32gb Samsung micro sd card just doesn't seem to work on galaxy note 10.1 2014, yet it worked perfectly fine on my previous note. Would i have to format the card on my computer? A little bit annoying since I don't have a reader for it.
My Sandisk does not work
I have a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s SDSDQUA-064G-U46A that has a lot of problems working in my GN 10.1-14. It has worked fine for a year in the old Note 10.1. The New Note would not even format it. Formatted it in my Galaxy S4, and it kind of works. Often it simply reports no files, although it will report in Settings the correct size and space available. Sometimes I have to reboot several times for the card to work. then sometimes I will try to open a file and get an I/O error. Then sometimes random reboots, especially if I try to unmount it.
I use a Samsung Pro 64GB microSDXC (UHS-1) Class 10 card (MB-MGCGB/AM) reformatted to FAT32. Works great. I've been using the same type card on my LG Optimus G for almost 8 months 100% problem free (also formatted to FAT32). I did have issues with a SanDisk Ultra 32GB in that same phone that used to dismount itself all the time and I know others that have had issues with SanDisk cards in GoPros as well.
ok, so which one of these sandisk ultra microsd cards will work in the 10.1 2014 edition, and what is the difference between them?

I bought my first tablet - Galaxy Note 10.1, 16g, a week ago. Latest updates to 4.1.2. I have searched the net, watched video's, read till I'm blind, called Samsung(No Help There), and walked away totally frustrated more than once. All the tech stuff about Class #,(4 verses 6 or 10) type, Samsung verses Sandisk, exfat, HC, HCCX, HCl, on & on.. It would all be fine IF there was a general favorite.
I want to buy the best functioning, best peformance micro 32 g sd card for general all around enjoyment the Note will best utilize.
Please, please suggest the best 32g sd card for the Note. Please be specific with brand, class, and type. I have learned so much from you folks. I am glad I found this site for most all my concerns. I will certainly thank you for taking your time to suggest the most appropriate purchase.:fingers-crossed:
Well, to keeo it short and sweet. First off, some have gotten it to accept a 64gb card but with a certain formatting and process to go through.
In my experience, I got this 32gb card for 22.00 on sale at a local wholesaler. It was accepted by the n8013 without any difficulty.
Sandisk worked for me.

It really doesn't matter as far as class goes and the tab does take up to a 64gb card easy enough. I just bought a SanDisk 64gb Class 10 card off NewEgg for $54.99 on their Shell Shocker deal of the day thing. You just pop the card in, go to settings, storage, scroll down to SD Card and format SD card. Basically it's just a FAT32 format, but whatever...
Anyway, that's it. After that you are all set to use it.
I also have a SanDisk 64gb Class 10. The class doesn't make a difference, all current cards will perform the same. You won't notice a performance difference on the Note. You just need to format to fat 32, as the other poster suggested. I would also buy from a reputable seller because there are a lot of knock offs with fake labeling on them. I got mine from Best Buy for $56. The 32 gb was around half the price.
A lot of people go with Sandisk because of reliability and price.

Ok Folks, I can not thank you enough for your time and advice. But I will anyway, Thank You ALL for responding. :good:
New Egg jumped back up to $80 and Amazon was $65 and then sold out while I was checking a few things..... So I ordered the Sandisk 64g HDXC SDSDQUA-064G-U46A. I just hope it works when I put it in the Note. I may be back for help if it is not as simple as you say. Then if it is, I hope I can intall APPS on it with out restrictions to space and all will be Dandy, right?
After a week of trying to find a case-Moko Slim fit, sd/usb/micro usb adaptor-JUICED Systems GT401-01, screen protector-ClearPleax, and now micro SD card, I am exhausted! Still need one of those mini keyboards, but need to decide if rf or bt is the way to go. Now I just need to learn how to use all the neat stuff on Note...I think I will be ready to use it for work..& fun. Thanks Again.

Hey Jerry,
You only get notified if you subscribe to the thread (in response to your PM). Anyway, as I said, the formatting the Note uses for MicroSD is FAT32. You don't need to turn it off to insert the SD, but when you eject it, you would want to go into setting, storage, and unmount SD card.
You don't need partitions, but because it's FAT32, you are limited to 2GB or smaller files.
Anyway, that should answer the SD questions.
As for the keyboard, I have the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android. Works very well, comes with a tablet stand sorta built in the case, and it's full sized, so typing on it rocks. Costs $70-80 though.

From what I understand, you cannot install and run Apps from your SD card...
According to another poster here 'From what I understand, you cannot install and run Apps from your SD card...' I know some apps may not be willing to load from an extrernal card for some vendor reason, but that is the exception, is'nt it? For the most part, we can load, install and use apps with the 64gb card we ordered right? I know I have held off loading apps because I want them on the ext sd.

Bought this ultra micro sd class 10 sandisk about a year ago. Had it in my htc amaze until may 1st when I got the s4. Today my sd dissappeard. I ejected and inserted multiple times but the phone wont even acknowledge it has a sd card in it. Bought a new identical sd card and it was recognized right away..
plugged bad sd into computer and the computer didnt acknowledge having it plugged in until the 5th time I tried.
was able to copy all my files thank god. 24gigs of work and info almost lost..
anyone else think the sg4 did this some how or could it just be a rotten sandisk micro sd?
input greatly appreciated.
SanDisk had issues with the 32/64GB MicroSD's; im on 64GB number 3 right now, which has worked fine for about a month (the first two would randomly dismount usually once a day on my Atrix 4G and also stop responding on my PC randomly), this one does not. Try getting it replaced or getting a different brand. Normally SanDisk is pretty rock solid (i use sandisks exclusively at work as they are the only certified cards for the recorders i use, and the only brand ive never had problems with. i use mostly CF and also sometimes SD/MicroSD)
Honestly i think the MicroSD thing is all SanDisk related; specifically to 32GB and 64GB Class 10's (the gray/red units). The older 32GB Class 4 black MicroSD's dont have issues.
Crazy update. 2nd 32gb ultra micro sd un mounts and mounts every 9 seconds. Or if you tap the card or shake/move phone slightly it un mounts and re mounts.. I put in a 1gb sandisk black class 4 micro sd and shook and tapped phone over micro sd and it did not unmount at all stood in fine.
this is terrible quality on sandisks behalf. I dont even know if I have receipt for them. I bought both at bestbuy tho...

I bought a SanDisk 64GB microSD card at BestBuy. So far so good works like a charm...*knocking on wood*. I had a 32GB Lexor that I used in my Sensation 4G and it died on me after about 2 years. Was not able to recover the data either. I did backup the data every 2 - 3 months, but still lost a lot of data. :crying: With the S4 I'll probably end up backing up data about every 2 weeks just to be safe. The free 50GB from Dropbox came at the right time.
I bought a samsung 64gb since i read a bunch of reviews that said the Sandisk 64gb would randomly lose all the data on the card and the card would just die. Some said a week after getting it, others said months. I didn't want to risk losing all my pics and stuff
Sent from Flip's Galaxy S4
Glad I'm not the only one having issues. I bought a 32GB card and had a bunch of issues with it. It would unmount randomly and the gallery was always slow to load up the contents. I bought a 16GB one and it's been fine. Very fast to load, no issues. I ran an hour long SD card test on it Saturday and it passed with no issues and decided to try it again and so far it's been perfectly fine.. Weird.
i had the same issue with my S3 and my SD card it would just become unreadable out of no where..
if your stock then the only reason i can come up with is nolonger valid
I think i'm going to start utilizing these instant sync apps (G+, Dropbox) just out of fear of losing pictures
There are already multiple threads on this. if you get a damage sdcard warning, plug the card into a PC, open cmd & type chkdsk /r /f <drive_letter>. it will take time to fix your sdcard. Backup your data & reformat if you wish. I get this occassional but with chkdsk I'm have no worry since I can repair & already have backup in place.
With that all said, it is disappointing to have to go through this. What I noticed so far is that it's only happening on my exFAT & FAT32 formatted 64gb sdcard for me. I never had this kind of issue on my 32gb sdcard.
I think this might work
I've been having issues with my 64gb sandisk ( unexpectedly removed error ) & remounting or formatting has not done the trick until now. Formatted card to fat32 with my PC which I have done multiple times & still had issues, but now after a fresh format to fat32 using my PC I decided to format with OUDHs recovery under mounts and storage - format extsd & have absolutely no issues as of yet. No more errors finally. Lmk if it works for you guys.
Thats weird. I've had the same problem with my 32gb sd card i thought it was just the sd card but it seems like a lot of other people are experiencing this as well...
So as a new android user (switching from apple) i realize how much i've been missing out on the beauty of Android devices. So that being said i am so happy to be here and posting about this new friggin device!
SO heres the problem that i realize: Most micro SD card does not work with this new device!! I've tried installing it in the note 10.1 and realize that in the end it cant read. However, if i put it in my s4, it does read and store data. So i emailed samsung personally and they basically said, "as of right now, there arent any micro sd card that is compatible with the note 10.1 2014. Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone used a micro sd card with their device yet? If so what brand? I have a kingston.
I am using 32gb Kingston with no issues. If it is recognized by your phone, try formatting it inside the phone then put it in the tablet. Most likely the card is not formatted properly.

i tried a brand new PNY 64GB formatted to exFAT. it worked fine until it die- two friggin days!
now i'm using my back up 64GB sandisk. it's working fine so far, exFat too. had one incident that made me think that this may be a dud too, or that the 2014 may be killing my disks. i'll have to keep an eye out.
There are way too many reports of this for there not to be a problem! I myself had a card that worked great in my old Note 10.1 and my cell phone but had to be formatted for the 2014 edition. Why? No reason other than something just ain't right somewhere!

That's what I'm using too, though Kingston makes good memory, and I've had good luck with other companies as well, like Patriot and Trend Micro.

Have not seen way too many reports of this problem with this particular device. The problems lie in the the memory cards not the device. Flash memory is notorious for just flat out dying or not working in certain devices. Sandisk or Samsung are the top choices for broad compatibility, hence the fact that their prices are usually higher. Probably due to more R&D and testing. I just swapped my 64gb Sandisk for the Kingston 32gb with no issues. I had the 64gb in an Acer W3-810 Windows Tablet.

My bad. There is only this thread and another thread on the next page. It is kinda suspicious that my 64GB card as well as others here works fine in my other tablet and phone but just won't work in my new 2014. Call it what you want but to me that's a lack of plug and play!
For everyone without any issues of course we are just making a mountain out of a molehill but for us FEW sitting here with a 64gb micro card that won't work consistently this is a fail!
So yes I surrendered and picked up a 32gb card and it works flawlessly.
i have a 16GB patriot Class 4 that i pulled out of my Nook Color (and formatted on my computer) i have had no issues using this.
one thing i did notice, is that the sd slot in the galaxy note 10.1 is pretty deep, i cant get the card in without assistance, usually from a pen or key that happens to be nearby.

Do not make this in to something personal. Please read what I typed. I was not trying to deny there is a problem but let people know where the problem comes from. One android device works with a card but it will not work with another. It is more than likely the card. You made it sound like it is Samsung's fault. They cannot test every card with every device ever made. People should be asking for help from their card manufacturer. My original 64gb died right out of the box and Sandisk replaced it.
I'm sorry if this came across as personal. I apologize for that. We just disagree and that's fine. You think it is the card even though it works great in 3 other devices, my laptop with the insert, my phone, and my old Note 10.1 and I think it's the 2014 edition because it doesn't work in it. To me if it was the card it would give me some sort of trouble in the other devices.
But to each his/her own.
Maybe its how the card is formatted?

I may be mistaken but I believe I have mentioned that I formatted the card while using the Note 2014. I also formatted it on my PC. It's no biggie anymore since I have a 32 gb installed that works great. I'm just going to wait till another update and try it again. I believe it's going to work at some point.

So as a new android user (switching from apple) i realize how much i've been missing out on the beauty of Android devices. So that being said i am so happy to be here and posting about this new friggin device!
SO heres the problem that i realize: Most micro SD card does not work with this new device!! I've tried installing it in the note 10.1 and realize that in the end it cant read. However, if i put it in my s4, it does read and store data. So i emailed samsung personally and they basically said, "as of right now, there arent any micro sd card that is compatible with the note 10.1 2014. Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone used a micro sd card with their device yet? If so what brand? I have a kingston.

32gb class 10 Samsung micro sd card works perfectly in my Note 10.1 2014, TAB3 8.0, GS4 & GS3
I'm having intermittent failures with my card also. I took my 32 gb Lexar out of my Transformer Prime and it wasn't recognized by the Note. I formatted it, it was fine for a few days, now it's telling me that the card is blank and/or unreadable. I formatted it again using the SD Formatter. I'm adding music to the card now and I'll be keeping an eye on it. I'll buy a Sandisk if this continues. I'm not at a risk of losing data, so I can experiment a little.
Don't cheap out on crappy low end cards, and you *should be fine. I have a combination of 6 Samsung phones & tablets all using one of the two cards listed below. Have never had a single issue, and a few of the devices have been using the same card for well over a year.
SanDisk SDSDQUA-064G-U46A Ultra 64 GB microSDXC (UHS-1) Class 10
Samsung Electronics 32GB microSDHC Extreme Speed (UHS-1) Class 10
The 64GB Sandisk Ultra is currently formatted ExFAT, and has been working just fine for almost 2 weeks now in my Note 10.1 (2014 ed).
* There is always a chance with failure, as with any electronic component, but good storage cards are worth their price.

Kingston, Transcend, Lexar, AData, G.Skill and Patriot are all good brands as well.
Same issue as above posters, I have a SanDisk ultra 64gb. After mucking around trying to get the same card that worked perfectly in my original. 10.1.
Solution : I backed the card contents up on my pc and then formatted the card in the original 10.1 before checking that I could write a new directory on the card using the 2014 edition.
Seems to work so far, hope this helps you guys (who still have the original 10.1 as well).
I have a 64GB Patriot class 10, No issues. Thought I would chime in.

Anyone try the Samsung 64GB micro SDXC? I can only guess all Samsung Micro SD's will work fine.
Hi guys,
I doubt I'm the only one here.
I got my G4 (h812 LMY47D)and im ecstatic about using my micro sd slot (S6 was the main deal breaker paying top dollars for more storage) but now I'm running into issues with my Class 10 micros sd from Lexar, This darn software does not want to mount the thing (tried several format including a full 40 minute format @ fat 32 default allocation).
The G4 detects an SD card but won't mount it. This thing works flawlessly on my old S3 so it has to be software related as using a cheap Kingston 1gb class 4 works fine.
Anyone else running into issues with their sd card?
Thanks for sharing any info or tips.

gonna have to give them a call as their user guide states
WARNING Some memory cards may not be fully compatible with the device. Using an incompatible card may damage the device or the memory card, or corrupt the data stored in it.
Not to found about this flagship! having issues reading a descent memory brand when an old rival device of 4 years is capable of doing so...
FIX
Just taught of leaving what got me to sort this out after playing around... Fun times :good:
After tinkering around with another SD card, the LG device formatted it to FAT16.
I've formatted the sd card using http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html under FAT/Primary
It created a 4gb partition and left it the remaining untouch
Popped the SD on the G4 and it finally mounted the partition
Performed an erase via the phone 2x to make sure and the entire 32gb is now accessible.
Hope that helps others having mounting issues.

I have facing same problems with my 64 GB sandisk sd card on new LG G4
can you explain the procedure to make it work
I've been using an AData 128GB for the last month or so with no problems. I turned the phone on yesterday morning and for whatever reason it went straight to my home screen but locked up and took half a minute or so to unlock and then goes to the lack screen, then I also got a SD Card inserted notification, I figured nothing of it and ignored it. The micro sd runs fine on other devices (formatted as ex-fat) but it causes that issue on startup i mentioned above as long as it's in the phone and it also refuses to mount.
I'm using the SanDisk SDSDQUAN-200G-A4A 200GB ULTRA MICROSDXC UHS-I since 2.5 months ago formatted in exfat with 128k clusters which was what it was out of the package and it works fine.

SanDisk is the only one with something larger than 128GB at this point in time and notice it's 200GB instead of 256GB as size usually doubles in capacity, heard the 56GB was used for something else or maybe not usable. I have a new 200GB card in there now. There is a 512GB card coming soon from Microdia as well.

Problem sd Samsung evo 64gb
Hi,
I had the same problem with micro sd evo 64gb, I formatted to fat32 but I can't solved a problem and only when a erese older .avi file recorder with older Nokia a solved a problems and now my lg G4 work perfect with my sd evo 64gb, and so guys control file inside sd well.
I just installed a new 128gb microsd (sandisk ultra), and for some reason it keeps unmounting then remounting a few seconds later. I tried formatting it but theres no option in the settings. Is there any way to fix this? Is it only an issue with cards > 64 gb?
I face the same problem with 64gb SDxc sundisk card!!!!!
Any help....... please
I had 64gb microsd fitted last few months, a Sandisk card. No problems at all. Recently fitted a Sandisk 128gb card from Amazon.
Had constant unmounting problem, reformatted to fat32, and still unmounting virtually every hour. Draining battery fast as well.
So, fitted 64gb Sandisk again, problem solved, it doesnt like 128gb card. 128card now in a Win10 tablet and working fine !
Although ASUS only qualifies 64GB MicroSD as max, you should be able to use up to 128GB as long as it is formatted as FAT32. Some users had their's work fine with this size.
Zenfone 2 supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC, with speed class up to Class 10
Sincerely
ASUS_USA
Thanks for reply Asus_USA. It could be a compatibility issue, the card I tried was a Sandisk Ultra SDXC class10 (newest version) supplied by Amazon.
Has anyone else had any success with this microsd in the Zenfone 2, I have the 32gb, 4gb ram version.
I have a similar issue. Read the forums and it is obvious many asus ZenFone owners are experiencing this problem. Can't asus just admit the problem and fix it and announce the fix? Or is it a bigger issue that asus will not publicly admit to?
I thought I would chime in as I too am having the same issue with my phone. I put an sandisk 128gb sdxc card in my phone when I purchased the phone it worked fine until New Years Day when I got an OTA. Since that OTA, the 128gb card will keep mounting and un mounting itself. I put an 64gb card in and for a whole day, did not unmount once. Called amazon to replace the card thinking it was the card, amazon gladly replaced the card, inserted the card and it is still unmounting-remounting. Like I said before it worked for 1 month straight with no issues in Dec. before the OTA, but after the OTA, its intermittently unmounting-mounting. Thought Id chime in since ASUS was responding and noticing others having the same issue. Obviously its a software issue with ASUS.
There are already so many issues regarding to sandisk sd card on Zenfone, I used to have the same problem, then I replaced my sandisk with samsung, problem solved.

Thanks for your help! I kind of figured it was the sandisk card because I put a little 64GB sandisk card in and the phone wont even recognize that card at all. I put a sony 64GB in and it held perfectly for 1 day, no unmounts. Off to Amazon to purchase a Sony 128GB!
After updating the latest version 2.20.40.160, my micro SD Card Adata 64G is assembling and disassembling every hour.
In previous firmware version that did not happen.
Something bad that ulima update.
My Adata 64gb card did that on the previous update, and more often at times. With the latest, the problem ceased.

i have 16 gb and facing the same problem. Maybe the cause of this problem is the firmware it self. try to update to the latest firmware
Have you tried formatting it to fat32 and remounting it?
From what I've tested, exfat has given me issues. But I'm on a custom ROM (CM 12.1 based), so YMMV.
If you're rooted you can try Aparted on the Play Store and not bother with the PC route. Just make sure you know what you're doing!

That latest update definetly caused issues with SD cards not over 64Gb but with specific manufacturers. Of course ASUS will not assist in this nor claim responsibility as this was in improvement update. Even though it was quite large for improvements. I would like to see what they say as even some 64GBs cards are not working either and they approve all cards upto 64GBs. Unfortunatley, your going to have to switch card manufacturers to get your card to work. I put a Sony card in and it works fine now. I could'nt get a 64GB sandisk to even recognize let alone the 128GB mounting/unmounting. Good Luck!
Having the same problem with 128 SanDisk (also class 10).
Looks like I'll have to buy a new card - am I better off with 64 GB or changing companies?
Yes.. it's a know problem, without a concrete solution... also me I purchased first.. read after... so I sold and I bought a kingston 128gb and since then, it works flawlessly (except it's 3gb less, but I seriously actually don't mind )

Luckily I had a 64GB and a 128GB card and they both had issues. So I just left sandisk all together and went Sony 128GB and it works flawlessly. It just seems like sandisk and this phone does not get along.
Both of you that have 128 GB but other companies, no issues experienced at all? Are you also on the 32 GB version and which firmware?

I have all sizes of sd card , 16,32,64,128 and 200gb...
I have both the 32gb phone and the 64gb phone. I have used exfat formatted sd cards, both 64 and 128gb, in both with no problems. I haven't tried the 200gb as I use that in my tablet but it is the ONLY Sandisk I have... All other cards are Samsung or the 128gb Lexmark. I have these as Sandisk had problems in other phones too... Never had a problem, ever, after changing away from Sandisk...
Sorry, should've added I'm on 178 firmware - the latest...
