I purchased the 16GB version because of the 64GB SD card. When I tried to download (buy) some movies from the Samsung Hub, I found out that licensed material couldn't be stored on the micro SD card. Well dang! I would have purchased the 32GB if I'd known. So during a conversation with Samsung Exe Care, I found out I could encrypt the SD card and store movies, etc on it.
So far, the Settings/Control/Security to encrypt isn't working. I think it's because the unit isn't charged to 80% yet (altho it's plugged in).
The system DID manage to set a lock pattern on the front screen. I was hoping that I didn't need to do that since I don't want to encrypt the tablet, just the SD card. So my first question is...will I be able to encrypt ONLY the SD card?
Question #2...how do I transfer movies to the encrypted SD card? Just a simple drag and drop?
One more question, unrelated...when do you think we'll see an update to KitKat on this tab?
Thanks

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.
Just bought a Play which has come with a 8GB SD card. Previously I was using a Huawei 8220 (Tmobile Pulse) with a 16GB card which is pretty full ... so in reality I think I'll be moving to a 32GB card soon!
Initially I thouhgt I'd just put the old SD card in and reinstall apps etc and work from there ... however looks like the supplied 8GB card already as ~3GB of data on it ... is any of this essential and if its not there does it get auto-installed (I managed to start the phone with the S card not properly reseated and it started talking about needing a card with enough space to install the game when I tried to run FIFA10 ... if I use another card will things reinstall?)
When I get a 32GB card can I just copy contents of both current cards onto it? Or will that just confuse everything! And for now, should I stick to the 8GB card which came with the play and is preloaded with play data or sue my existing 16GB card which has lots of app data on it?

The data on the supplied SD Card is just some tones/wallpers, the sony suite for windows and the asset data for the games that come with the phone. If you don't want the wallpapers and sony suite, you can delete contents, game data can be downloaded anytime by launching the game
I made a copy of the 8GB card that came with my PLAY & also made a copy of the 16GB card that I had with my Samsung Fascinate. I combined both & put all of it on a new 32GB.
So in steps to make best of it...
1) Copy 8GB data to PC
2) Copy 16GB data to PC
3) Clean up anything you no longer need on the 16GB backup
3) Copy 16GB data to 32GB SDHC card
4) Copy & overwrite last with 8GB data to 32GB SDHC card
Now you'll have everything that was given for free from Sony Ericsson as well as what you had previously. I recommend keeping the free games at the very least.
Thanks ... that's about what I'd assumed - just wanted to double check before I did anything stupid!
Hi this is my first time posting a question on here so I'm hoping I'm doing this correctly
I recently received a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDHC card to use in my AT&T Note II phone. When I inserted the external SD card into my phone, everything mounted correctly and functioned right. However, when I tried to transfer my pictures and music into to the external SD card from my internal SD card using the stock app My Files, it would say that everything moved to my external SD card, but when I checked it, nothing was in the external SD card and the files that i had moved from my internal SD card were gone. So I backed up all my files from the internal SD card to my laptop to make sure I don't lose files again.
Afterwards I tried all of these methods to get files to properly into the external SD card:
I tried connected the external SD card directly to my laptop using an adapter and moved the files there
I tried moving files to the external SD card while it was in my phone
I also tried using KIES and KIES Air to move files into my external SD card
The first two methods didn't even have files show in the external SD card. The third method, using KIES and KIES air had files in the external SD card but they were corrupted where I can open my picture and it's a icon of a man of some kind and my music files just wouldn't play.
So I just factor reset my phone hoping that this would fix this problem and I haven't tried moving files yet. I'm hoping that perhaps it was an app that was conflicting with the external SD card.
I know that my external SD card is not fake because it came in a legitimate package and I also ran a software (that I can't remember the name of) that puts in data in the external SD card until it fills up and reads the data to see how much actually went in.
Could anybody tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it? I can't go back to the store and exchange it because it was a gift and there's no receipt. Thank you so much for your help.

well seee if it works on other phone if not then sent it back to sandisk service center they dont need any proof of purchase just the sd card packet pic will do as proof as it comes with lifetime warranty , just sent them a mail and report if its faulty and they will ask u to send the sd card back to sandisk center and they will send u a new sd card :good:
if they ask for a sd card no just chk your sd card back it written over there and not on the package as the org number they need is available in sd card back

I'm running a custom MM ROM on my SM-T320. Everything is smooth and stable except when I insert a micro SD card. I know the pros and cons of "format for internal storage". That's not my issue. I know that you can have the T320 reformat a micro SD card to make it readable external storage. That's not my issue either. I can't figure out why, when I insert a working micro SD card with readable music and video files on it, the music and video apps on my device can't see those files. I know that the DEVICE sees the files. When I pull down the notice in the system tab about whether to "format or explore", if I select Explore, the utility sees every file on the drive and can play every one perfectly. So, why won't my media apps see those files?
If all I wanted to do was to plug that micro SD card in the T320 and leave it there for storage I'd have the device reformat it and be done with it. That's not what I want. Before this, I could have different micro SD cards with different selections of media and other files and plug those cards into whatever device I wanted to use to read the files. All of the devices would recognize and read all the micro SD cards. With Marshmallow that seems no longer to be true. Am I doing something wrong or is there a work-around?
That's a known limitation of CM13 for mondrianwifi. We have to wait until the maintainer submits this fix to the build.
Hello, I'm having trouble on my s9, I got a brand new 128gb micro sd card to transfer all my games and photos and what not over, which I've done and its not showing one particular game, Call Of Duty Mobile, I've tried everything and I'm stuck what to do. Could someone possibly help me please?
Thank you
unfortunately samsung doesn't support adoptable storage which is required to move apps to SD card.
