I woke up this morning and noticed apps in my app tray showed signs of my SD card being disconnected. I opened Spotify and it could not locate the cache SD location. Going to try to swap my card and see if that's the issue

That is the reson to:
1.use Backup Cloud (dropbox/box with lg you should get 50GB for free only download app that sync auto and upload the pic&clips....)
2.buy a good SD (older ver of sandisk isn't working good with andoirnd) - I wish there is a list in XDA...

The SD card is most likely a bootleg or fake one and is not an actual 64GB card.
I had purchased two 64GB Samsung Pro cards off eBay (I know...) for my G3 and my wife's G3 and copied my files over and the G3 would show some of them as broken or corrupt, just like in that pic. If I had taken any pics or saved anything to the card, more files would become corrupted or just disappear.
I tried this several times and finally ran a SD read/write test on my PC and both cards came up as having only 7GB of space and not 64GB, with numerous errors. Cards were bootlegs.
So, got my money back and purchased two 64GB Samsung Pro EVO cards from Amazon and ran tests on them, no errors, no loss, actual 64GB cards and all that nice stuff.
Have had no problems as before, no stalls or delays recording 4K vids or taking pics or anything else for that matter.

I bought a unbranded 64 go SD card of eBay for 6 dollars. Tested just fine. Labeled as class 20 but I figure it is more like 6 or 4 lol.

Thats sounds better. If your card passes 39gb its real. You dont have to test all 64gb read and write takes a while. Can you post a link to the card?

fake cards are hacked to read that amount..the real ones would read 59.45..if u dont believe us try to max out the card..it would probably max out with 8gb

So far at 38 gb. For 14 dollars I would be happy with that lol.

Sandisk ULTRA SDXC 64GB.
As you can see it shows 59.45GB avaiable.
His card is fake.
Sent from from my LG-D855

I concur too, that card is most likely fake. They're programmed to read at whatever the card wants to be marked as. And you can copy all the files you want onto it, but when you go to access them or other, they're either corrupt or just disappear.
To be sure of what size SD card that you have, use H2TestW to read and write to the whole card. It'll report back on what the ACTUAL memory size of the card is, if there were any errors, defects or other to it.
I had bought two Samsung Pro 64GB micro SD cards just this month on eBay (I know...) and I was able to copy over 20GB of files onto them. But when I put it in my G3, over 3/4 of the files kept saying they were corrupted or would just be empty folders. Looked around online, found H2TestW, ran the tests on both cards and they both came back as being only 7GB cards with numerous errors and defects. I was only getting 1.5MBps write speeds. Bootleg cards.
I bought Samsung Pro EVO 64GB from Amazon, ran same tests, actual 64GB cards with not a single error or defect.

Do you guys think the extra $50 of getting the 32gb?

I know the s3 has expendable memory... But not all the apps can be installed on the memory. Would you go with the 32gb for extra $50?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I did not because 16gb of memory can be bought for 15$ and I use the Internet for most of the stuff I do on the phone. Not a big gamer but I can't imagine a game that would not fit on 16gb. You can move some apps to sd. It's up to you dog.

I'd go for it. That was my original intention, but I couldn't wait for T-Mob to get some in stock, and I refused to order it online. So I bought the 16 gig, will wait for updates to fix any issues and for JB, then I'll sell this one and defray the full cost of the 32gig. Might even be able to get it in black by then. Anyway, it's all in the future. I'm really happy right now.

If you worry about your apps, (Which most of them are able to run from sd card) you can have them all in your phone and your photos/music/everything else in a 32GB sd card.

nah dont waste your 50$. I bought a 32Gb micro sd for like 15$ on amazon for all my media stuff (music, documents, video,etc). you have 11Gb for apps alone and no way you can fill that up (btw I dont install big games)
Not worth it, get a sd card that can then be used for future phones. Justification for me is that this phone will be drop in value when the S4 lte comes out and it doesn't matter if it is 16g or 32g the market will be flooded.

So you're basically telling him to avoid getting something he may want because when he goes to sell it, there will be a lot of them available?
If I was OP, I'd get the 32gb if he can get a deal on it. Even at the normal cost of the phone and a 64gb card, you have almost 100gb to store stuff. But then again, I use my 64gb card for the camera and video recording as well as internet radio recording and much more.

Not so much as telling him what to do but looking at it from another perspective like playing devils advocate.
The OP should also consider your perspective especially if warranted by his needs of memory usage
If you don't expect to get a SD card then the 32G phone would be a good choice. When you look at the maximum memory capabilities of the 32GB phone there is only a 16% reduction with the 16GB.
I got the phone subsidized 16GB for a total of $179 and when I asked CS what the cost difference of the 32GB would be and they said 80. If it was $30 I would have grabbed it but not $80. I think I made the right choice because by the time a newer phone comes around there may be a need because I expect to have a collection of music and videos by then for now I have almost squat.
If you have endless amount of apps then go with the 32gb. You can't at least not out of the box save apps to the sd card. For everything else the 16gb should be fine with expandable storage up to 64gb

Ext sdcard corruption

So I don't know what's happening but I have a 32gb class 10 micro sd card. And once a week it just goes corrupt and my files are all corrupt. It's seriously getting on my nerves and I don't know what to do. I I've formatted it in the phone and in a pc and it doesn't matter it still happens.

Format 64gb. Sandisk micro SD to fat32

First and for most I am not responsible for anything that might happen to your phone, computer, or sd card. I am simply posting to help anyone ot there who might have an error with there new cards.
So along with alot of others who jumped on the 64gb micro sd sales I purchased from best buy. When I tried to get my phone to register the card which was originally extfat by default it wasnt recognized. So then I tried formating to ntsc to yet again fail. I finally tried to convert to fat32. What follows is a guide to get uou 64gb sd card to fat32.
First make sure you backup any info you might have on you 64gb. Card because formatting will erase EVERYTHING.
Second, connect your micro sd to a computer. I personally used the micro sd to full sd adapter that came with my card.
Third go to the following website
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
And download the gui app by clicking the picture.
Fourth run it. Make sure you select the right location to were your sdcard is.
Fifth click the allocation to your preference (im not sure what this is suppose to do but I set it to max roughly about 64-65) then make sure you select the right destination if not you can format your hdd on the computer. Then press the quick format and start button.
Sixth the script should take less then a min. To be done and have a formatted fat32 64gb microsd card..

How common is this issue? I've got a 64GB Sandisk with exformat in my T889 with no apparent problems (so far).
Im not to sure how common it is but I ran into trouble. I tried the default for the card then ntsc and it wasnt registering with my phone althought I must say I was running perseus kerenel with the memory swap script. Then after I formatted to fat32 it work. Not sure were I read on some other people running in to trouble with the same sandisk card until they formatted.

I just had the same thing happen to me..I downloaded a bunch of albums..they were there..then I rebooted and they were gone...but when uTorrent was downloading it told me I didn't have enough space..I told it to go ahead anyway...they made it but then disappeared..
I have had my 64gb. San disk for about a year and a half without any issues. I formatted the way I outlined in the first post and it has been smooth sailing ever since. I know that the first post could be a bit tedious but it is the RIGHT way. No short cuts. I did have an issue with some kerrnels. For example saber kernel from Jedi Roms says that it can swap your memory partition from external to internal and it does for about a week and then for some odd reason it just locks your SD so you can't download or delete any thing. The combination I have been using is an old school pegasus kernel with a memory swap script. I have been using that for a long time and not only is it the most stable memory swap, but the kernel has never messed up my SD either. P.S. just my 2 cents

Format sd card in FAT32. Maybe it's in NTFS now, or even unformated. You can do it from recovery, from windows (when mounted) or from phone itself

Galaxy S3 and SD Cards

Hello Guys.
I've seen this problem on a few forums but no one really has the solution that might work for my phone. Whenever I add videos or movies to my external SD card, in a few hours or days my SD card starts acting weird. Some of the pictures get deleted or destroyed and sometimes I cant access my SD card with CWM. When I play the videos I can't fast forward (doesn't let me) and sometimes the movie plays for 2 minutes and then just starts from the beginning again. I tried formatting it several times in fat 32 and exfat and it gives the same problem. I tried using different SD cards from sandisk and still causes problems. I am currently using the 64gb san disk SD card. My phone is SGH-T999. Also, for those who are wondering, I did try different roms.
Any solutions?

Yeah, I think the best solution at this point will be contacting them and asking them for a new one. But to be completely honest, I used a generic one and it gave me the same problems. Then, I thought I should stop using cheap crap and bought a SanDisk and still same problems. I guess the problem is in the device?
