Issue with MicroSD - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

So I just got a Kingston Class 10 64GB SDXC Card
I generally use Wifi File Transfer Pro to xfer stuff to extSd but in this tablet, its just dies down after a certain %
I thought it might be the SD card, then I inserted my Patriot Class 4 32GB card and same thing
I tried Air Droid and WTF, for both it shows ExtSD card is 11.76GB only!
Is there something wrong? or thats how kitkat is?

I haven't run into this with my nexus devices and OTG readers, but try this thread for those who have the problem using external cards. I have a TabPro 12.2 on pre-order as well as a 64GB micro card so I will definitely try the fixes if needed.

Bad SD card???

Something is fishy with our SD cards (both my wife and I), since they've somehow seemed to "go bad" about 2 weeks apart. We both have the S3 16GB and I bought two 32 GB SanDisk cards for our phones. Everything seemed fine until about 2 weeks ago when her card went out, then last night my card seems to have gone bad too. All the phone says is it's "safe to remove the card", can't access the card in any way. I currently can't find my adapter to test the micro card in my laptop, but I should at some point. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this with their SD cards?
I had a problem with my 64gb Sandisk card that went bad duing a rom flash. I have EASEUS Partition (can be downloaded free) installed on my PC and the partition on the SD card was missing. I reformated the partition using FAT32 and it has been fine now for over two weeks.
Just a note I now remove my SD card when I flash ROMs. I know it should be safe but it takes a few hours to rebuild 58gb.
This phone fried my 16gb card
What class sdhc is it?

My 64gb SanDisk errored too within the first week. Formatted and working since. Mine stopped working when I changed a battery (yes, the phone was off).

where did you buy the card? also what class is it?
I'm having the same problem with my 32gb sandisk class 4. it was working fine on my LTEVO but the moment I put it on in my GS3 the card went dead.
32GB Class 10 PNY formatted to FAT32 has been flawless for me...and I've used the same sd card in two previous devices (E4GT & Evo LTE)

Class 4 SanDisk and I bought them on Amazon. Wasn't a bulk type card without proper packaging either, it arrived in the mail packaged like what you would see in B&M's. In any case, I'm going to need to locate my adapter so I can attempt to format them.

If it is screwed like mine then the adapter will do nothing... my card is completely fried

I find it hard to believe that there is actually a "bad batch" of SD cards from SanDisk... I have a friend that also has an S3 (Verizon) that said his 32 GB card (not sure of the class) went bad as well. It would make more sense that the S3 is somehow making them bad or not recognizing them anymore. However, most of my assumptions may just be wishful thinking.
I had some problems that I think were more CM9/exFAT support related with a 64gb UHS-1 card. I used this to format it and it's been fine since

[I9195] SanDisk microSDHC Mobile Ultra 64GB (Class 10) (SDXC) ?

Well, I bought the sd-card and for the first couple of days it worked flawessly - then it started to automatically unmount-mount-unmount-mount..
After a bit of duckduckgoing I found out that this particular SD card can cause troubles if produced before 2010 (mine is) but what I need to understand is the following:
- does formatting it x-times help?
- does it help to format it directly on the phone? I did so but then my Mac did not recognize the card..
- the mini is said to support 64gb sd cards --> why do so many people have issues?
- it says "made for Android" --> how can it not work on a Samsung?
- are there other 64gb cards that you ppl know of that don't cause any problems?
Thanks!
I had a 32GB "made for Android" Sandisk card and had the same problem, albeit in a different Android device. Sandisk say it's a manufacturing issue according to info in this thread.
My solution was to buy a Samsung card
But I did try all the things you mention - formatting in the phone / on PC, different filesystems (fat32, exfat, ext4) etc. The actual issue was intermittent I/O errors when reading and writing data which cause Android to unmount the card.
If I were you I'd RMA the card. I haven't done extensive testing of the 64GB Samsung card in the S4 Mini (I9195) but it seems to work OK. What I do know is that I won't trust Sandisk again...

*sigh*.. well, on the bright side now I have a 64gb SD card for my camera and at least my old 32gb Sandisk one still works with Mini.
I have same problem with 64GB SanDisk Ultra® microSDXC™ UHS-I card for mobile devices ... Are there any solution of this problem???
Stupid that sandisk still can't get 64gb cards to work properly in 2013 while advertising it's for Android.
This is ofc all based on yall input as I do not own a 64gb sandisk cards but a 8gb one. I'm now aware not to buy a sandisk 64gb card in the near future.

Ye I finally got an Android phone that can actually use the bloody card (had it since December '12) and it does the same thing.
Apparently there was a manufacturing problem around that time (affected 32/64GB MicroSDXC Class 10's), so SanDisk is apparently replacing these cards. Just contact them on support.

Working 64GB MicroSD card

Hi, Has anyone found a 64GB microSD card that works flawlessly with the G Pad 8.3? I have been reading about issues people are having with the Sandisk 64GB card and I am curious if all 64GB cards have issues or only the Sandisk? Personally I have ordered the Sandisk but it has not yet arrived (neither the LG Pad) but I am wondering if I should return the Sandisk for another brand if there is one that works correctly. Thank you for any advise / feedback you can give regarding 64 GB cards you have used.
For info the one I ordered is:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...qid=1387796520&sr=1-1&keywords=micro+sd+64+gb
That's the card I have had many issues with and tried on two different G pads... I wonder if it's incompatible with 64GB cards somehow, since I have tried lower capacity sandisk cards without issue. SDXC issue maybe and needs to be SDHC perhaps? I haven't seen anything that specifies which format of SD card is compatible... I had issues with the 64GB sandisk card as soon as I inserted it, kept saying it was removed again , then reinserted. It COULD read and write to it but lost sight of it often. In recovery mode worked flawlessly and also on PC....
I have this Samsung card and it works perfectly.....

That seems to put the Sandisk brand in the spotlight then... I just reformatted mine using the SD formatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/ but after thinking it had made a difference, the tablet lost sight of it again 40% through a backup...

I'm happy to use SanDisk in my cameras, but for mobile devices I've read of too many problems. Samsung, on the other hand, seems to receive pretty universal praise. No doubt there are exceptions, but I went for Samsung based on rep and superior speed.
I've had no issues running the Sandisk 64GB card in my G Pad. Currently have it formatted with exFAT. I have a ton of stuff on it as well as moved all of my games onto it using Foldermount. Thus would know immediately if the card were to disappear / no longer be recognized. Check the format of the card. If you have it formatted in FAT32 then reformat it to exFAT. I believe exFAT is preferred with larger cards.
Thanks for the info about exfat, this sounds promising. Can anyone with the SanDisk card that is having issues try this and confirm if it fixes their issue. When mine arrives I will try it out but I need to wait another week or so. Thank you

Unrelated but I could never get any 64GB card (and I tried 4 different brands) to work properly in my Samsung 8"..
I have a 32GB in the LG currently and was planning on getting a 64, now maybe not?
I have a Sandisk ultra 64gb and use folder mount and run my games from it with no problems.
i have no problem with my 64gb sd card that i ordered from amazon didn't need to format it or anything just worked out of the box

Anyone tried the more generic brands yet? I have a 32gb Patriot Class 10 that seems to work fine, but there's a 64gb on sale at a local Canadian retailer that looks mighty tempting...

I certainly wouldn't consider Patriot a generic company!
I have a 64GB card from Komputerbay that was £35 from Amazon.co.uk that is working well so far. Came formatted exFAT.
I've lost faith in the SanDisk cards. Also, the Ultra cards that most people talk about are not very fast!

128GB card for I9301I

Hi, I was thinking about expanding my device memory via micro sd card and of course i aimed for 64GB BUT then I asked myself "hey, how about 128GB? great idea!". So here's my question: have anyone tried 128GB card in our S3 Neo?
It wont work ... s3 neo only supports up to 64GB
I am using 64GB
Works perfectly
Sent from my GT-I9300I using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Galaxy S3 Neo supports up to 64GB MicroSD card :/
Quick tip: If you're going to buy your SD card online beware of fake cards !!!
I think it can handle it because my old phone only supported 32 GB and I inserted my 64 one and after a short time I could usw it normally so it should work too.

Buy in online store, test SD card and return it if it does not work. If you live in EU i think you have 14 days to contact, return and get refund from item.

As for the max read/write speeds of the tablet, I don't know. But per Samsung, it is fully capable of the PRO sdcard. I have the Samsung 64GB PRO microsd card in my note 10.1 2014 edition and often save HD video to the card and watch them directly from the card and it works great. You should definately go with the pro if you want a fast card, like I said, it works great in my 2014 edition. :good:
So why not go the 128gb or Sandisk 200gb sd card?
The 200gb card works fine and I have hd video on it that works great...

So the Note also works with those 200gb cards then?
I currently have a 64gb card on my Note, but the higher capacity ones also work I might as well buy that, means I can share the same content instantly on both my tabs and laptops

Yep, they're sdxc format same as the 64gb and 128gb sd cards. Theoretically, it has been mentioned, sdxc should be able to go as high as 2Tb but 200gb is the biggest micro sd card out there at the moment.
