64GB Microsd Card(Not working for our phones?)

So i was anybody has a 64gb microsd card from sandisk in there vibes. I currently have one but im having issues with it in all roms. My computer reads it and the phone recognize it and i try formatting it but after it formats it acts like nothing happened.
Edit: Nvm i seem to fix it, had to go back on my g2 and reformat on that phone then bring it back to my vibes.

I thought this phone only supported up to 32GB?

Phone only supports up to 32 GBs. Think it says so on the box.

It can support 64gb Microsd cards from Sandisk. You have to insert it in your vibes and it will appear that you have a error n your sd all you have to do is format it and you have a working 64gb card in your phone. I'll pot picture later on for proof. I'm currently putting most of my music collection in my phone so it may take a while.

pocket now says original galaxy s handles it fine, but i'm gonna wait a few months till i get sgs 3. hopefully by then it will be cheaper too

[Q] microSD card died

I had a SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC Class 6 32GB (formatted FAT32) in my Galaxy S3 with no issues for about a month. Then one day I was at work, unlocked my phone and got a "SD card has been unexpectedly removed" notification. After that the microSD card wasn't recognized in the phone, my laptop, nor my desktop PC.
Has anybody else had this issue?

question is, where did u buy the sd card it might of been a fake, their are multiple sdcards which look good and real but overall are fake due to the ability to operate in heat, so it might of overheated and crashed(died) its a big issue with fake sd cards out there, they usually go out or burnt due to not being able to take the heat of the phone. On normal operate the sd card should be able to take 40 to 45C which make it 90-100 Ferenheit, if its a real SD card it should be able to take more then this and reach upto 65+C or around there.
easy ways to spot a fake is if ure saving files on ure phone and it says u got a class 6 or class 10 sdxc card and its operating less then it should, it crashes on u when trying to open a file or it resets itself and tries to scan again for it. in many cases it will get too hot and burnt out, or it just stops operating out of the blue.

I bought the card from Adorama (a photography focused site) in April. SanDisk is letting me RMA the card (just got that approved last night). I just want to make sure it's not my phone causing the problem. Up until the "unexpectedly removed" error, I never had any issues with it crashing or having to scan for itself again (unlike the class 4 I was trying to test the card slot with right now).

If that's the case have u tried varies card readers or card ports to see if it could be the unit itself..... However if it does out that way, I believe scndizk does back this up with a lifetime warranty if ure sd card does stop operating and then should be able to replace it.

Even so the gs3 should be able to read ure 32gb flawlessly since it's supportive to sdhc, now it does also supports sdxc which is expected from higher performance sd cards to not be able to read or install correctly on the gs3 unless u format to extfat or fat32. Chances are u might have a bad sd card. By default their storage capacity is 32, after that, that's where u need to take does drastic measures. Try formatting it on ure computer, if it doesn't format then ure gs3 should read it, if it doesn't format u already know.

Had the same issue with my S3.
Turned out that the SD card was dying, this caused it to be unmounted by itself and then mounted again (sometimes showing notification “sd card removed unexpectedly”), hence triggering the media scanning process.
I created an application to monitor how many times the SD card was removed, and turned out to be unmounted every ~3 mins!!!
I then bought a new Transcend 32GB Class 10 card, and until now, this never happens, no reports from the application whatsoever, and no media process eating my battery.
I just published this app in the play store now, this is the link:

[Q] Anyone have problems with 64GB SanDisk SDXC card?

I have a Bell Note 2 and I recently bought the 64GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card. Since using it, I noticed that (when installed) the Device Status of the phone changes to Modified and I can't check/download Android updates from Samsung. Also, the Samsung Video Hub app won't let me use external storage to save movies (which I could do using my old 32GB PNY card). The card seems to read/write okay though.
I contacted Samsung by email, the reply was laughable (solution was for a different issue on a different phone). I also contacted SanDisk and they suggested reformatting to FAT32 using a utility from www.sdcard.org. I haven't tried this yet but I know that FAT32 will reduce file sizes to 4GB. I don't know if it will have an effect on the read/write speeds of the card.
Just wondering if anyone else using this card was experiencing the same issues. If you haven't checked, maybe you might want to.

I miss the build quality, sleekness, and how quick the battery would charge/how slow it would drain.

I've been looking at that same card. I'm definitely interested to see how this resolves for you.

Well, I tried to do what the SanDisk guy told me but the formatting utility that he mentioned doesn't have the option to change file formats. Started out as exFat, still exFat. Some of you have mentioned using other formatting/partitioning utilities - the folks at www.sdcard.org say the following:
"The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards.
The SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a "Protected Area" on the card for the SD standard's security function. The SD Formatter does not format the "Protected Area". Please use appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the "Protected Area" in the memory card."
So there you go.

I am using the card with the t-Mobile version and it working fine.

Works without any problems in mine.

The weird thing is that it starts out okay and only shows up after I've reloaded all my apps. Even then, I can still read and write to the card. I just can't get updates because it says that my phone is modified. I can't see how an app would cause it. There are no side-loaded apps. And it doesn't happen with my 32GB card.

Just a quick update for anyone who might be wondering....
After making this thread, I went to my local BestBuy and bought another SanDisk microSDXC that was exactly the same as the one I had. I put the same files on the card and the phone did exactly the same thing. I did discover however that the problem shows up when I reboot the phone with the card installed but doesn't show up (at least not right away) when I unmount/hotswap/remount the card with the phone left on.
Then I took the card to the BellAliant store where I bought the phone and had them try the card in a brand new phone. Same problem on the new phone.
Nothing funky on the card, just my songs (transferred using DoubleTwist AirSync) and my photos (transferred via PC). This card hasn't been reformatted and my phone hasn't been rooted.
So I don't know what's going on, if its only a problem with Galaxy Note 2's that are being sold in this area. I can't believe that no one else is having this issue.
Anyway, I put in a support ticket with Samsung (again), not expecting anything new. The Samsung tech that I spoke with did say that only TWO (I think) 64GB microSDXC cards were tested and approved for the Note 2 and that the SanDisk was one of them. Also, the girl at the BellAliant store said that they were told that the phone only worked with a TOTAL of 64GB (internal + external) but I KNOW she was wrong about that. Just some of the things you hear when trying to troubleshoot something that no one seems to have an answer for....

iMHO you really should format it fat32 and retest.
-- other suggestions for tools --
Might search for mini partition tool or gparted live cd. I've used the gparted live cd to partition my 64gb sandisk previously for dual booting my og atrix.
-- I'm sure there are better suggestions on tools, but I strongly suggest converting it to fat32 before further testing / actions.

The Note II ONLY supports FAT32
When I got my new 64GB SanDisk card I powered off the phone. Pulled the back cover and replaced my 32Gb with the new 64GB micro SD card right out of the packaging and then replaced the cover and powered it up. Phone recognized it and accepted file transfers to it without issue. No problems to date and I have been using it for 3 weeks without issue.

ExFAT works fine with my note 2 on perseus. Doesn't play well with note2core though

If the Note II only supports fat32, then someone needs to tell my note because it's working fine with my card on exfat. stock kernel and all.

I too have bell note 2 with 64gb sandisk and everything is fine. I jusy put the card in the phone and formated with phone. Its exfat btw.
I suggest u to format the card with phone so it can format with the appropriate fike system.

See, that's the strange thing. The card DOES "work" - it formats fine and I can transfer files to and from it. The ONLY problem is that, when I put my files on it, the status of my phone changes to "modified". Then, when I go to updates, it won't even try to connect to the servers, just tells me that my phone is modified and that updates are not available. As I mentioned above, I've duplicated the problem with two identical cards and in two different phones (one of which was in-store, brand new).
I realize that I can just take the card out of the phone when I know an Android update is available to download, I just don't always know when updates are available. In either case, doesn't seem like it should act that way. And I didn't want to force-format the card to FAT32 with a 3rd party format utility because that would destroy the "protected partition" on the card and void the warranty (those 64GB cards are expensive).
I understand that I might just have to live with this, it's just odd that no one else is experiencing it. Think I'm going to let this thread die. Folks on XDA tend to not like re-reading the same thing over and over. Thanks to all who replied.

Why do you think formating an sd card with fat32 would void the warranty? Never heard such thing before. You can format any file system you want.

SAmsung EVO 64GB SDXC MICRO SD CARD PROBLEMS

Hi i bought this card this week it worked great for first 3 days and now all of a sudden it has deleted all my music files off the card and left only pictures and videos it is also deleting my mod folder where i keep all my flashable zips but this isnt a problem ive backed them up the problem is it keeps doing it even after a factory reset and format of the card its not a fake i got it from amazon and it was fulfilled by amazon also checked with hwtest no matter what i do it deletes the files ? i have the kitkat sd fix as well so not sure whats going on or how i can fix it?
its a brand new card and only tested in g3
on looking at the sd card its renaming my folders like this Mods.4 My Music.0 what gives? now there empty and renamed?

I'm having issues with my Samsung 64gb card as well. It keeps getting corrupted when any file it's saved to it. The phone gives a notification saying SD card inserted. I cannot mount the card anymore, and it is unreadable on my PC as well. Been searching for a solution without finding one. I too bought the card from Amazon. This is really bugging me. I hope I don't have to get a replacement, this phone has worked great. I just got this card for Christmas, and now I'm having issues. I did have a 32gb SanDisk in it before Christmas - never an issue. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ok, so I just finished formatting ntfs. Plugged the card into my g3, and the phone now shows a notification that says "SD card is blank or has an unsupported filesystem". The phone now wants to format the card. Did I miss something, or is this correct? I just formatted ntfs -which took forever- and now I need to format again? I must have screwed up...IDK. I'll wait for some more guidance.

Found some advice here stating to just let the phone format it. Same thing happens, man. Phone finds and reads the card after formatting. Everything looks great. My phone then starts to sync Google music and at some point the card becomes unreadable after writing to the card. This is driving me crazy.

My PNY 128GB has been doing that too. It would show the message and when I check on it, sure enough, it's unmounted. So I took it out and formatted it in another phone and it's slightly better. I get the unmounted message, but the card stays mounted. I'll probably try a different card tomorrow.

I have same issue with my Samsung 128gig card. Random unmounted status.

exFAT Default allocation should be fine, but you can just format it in the phone. If you run into issues, try FAT32. If you still run into issues, try another card.

I'm going to try a reformat today, see if it works

I've been on a clean reformatted card for about 2 hours now, so far no error. I haven't loaded back up yet though.

My pny only gave me problems when I was writing a lot or something big to the card.

I swapped mine out of 4 different phones, then into this one, so it's no wonder it errored

I have a Lexar Professional 128GB Class 10 and am now getting the same problem.
It has been fine all week but all of a sudden from yesterday morning it has started playing up.
I have tried RE seating and it works for a little while then complains.
I have also found just restarting wakes the card up for a little while so am wondering if it is software related rather than physical?

I don't know, I did a full reformat on my laptop, then formatted it on my phone and haven't had any problems since.
