Noob here, I have one simple question. I recently purchased a Class 10 Sandisk 32gb microSD card because I was running out of space in my internal SD card (mostly because of pictures/videos). So I formatted and inserted the card into my phone and was expecting more storage space but whenever I try to take pictures or save anything it says it has insufficient space. In "storage" it says the 29.7 GB free and none of it has been used. How do I tell my phone which is running on CM10 stable, to utilize my microSD now that it has no more space?
Thank you very much for you time.

Go physical
My Samsung Galaxy note 2 showed same error. But when I used sd card on my PC I could see all contents. I tried several SD cards, installing apps, changing firmware and always same result. I almost return my cellphone to seller. BUT I remembered that on PC, dirt makes some noise and generates annoying behaviors.
SO I decided to go physical.
I turned off my device
I got off battery door, battery and sd card
I used contact cleaner generously on sd reader.
I waited for about 5 minutes.
I put back sd card, battery and battery door
I turned on my device
Bingo!! My Sd card is back!!!!
I hope this can help you...

Hello, I am having the same problem.
Since yesterday after rebooting my phone, I am getting "damaged sd card". After removing the card and putting it back in, it changed to "Blank SD card or has unsupported filesystem".
Cleaning the contacts didn't help.
Any more advices on this topic? I don't have a card reader for micro sd cards nearby. Is there a way to fix the sd card using adb / filesystem / shell tools?
I have some data on the card I didn't back up yet and don't want to loose.

When SD card get corrupted, you need a PC and a SD card reader. Connect SD card, open command prompt, type “chkdsk /f /X <driver letter>:”.
If this doesn’t fix sd card you need to replace it.

All right, I bought a card reader and tried the chkdsk thing.
To my big surprise, chkdsk told me that the sd card is RAW type and therefore not usable with chkdsk.
How's that even possible? How can a SD card simply change it's type?
Can I reverse it somehow and recover the partion table? I really don't want to loose the cards content.
Any more advices on this?

when using Kingmax 32G class 10 micro SD on my galaxy w it shows no problem whether on stock rom or custom rom..
when i change Sandisk 32G UHS-1 micro SD,the "SD card unexpectedly removed" appear few times on stock rom and more frequently on custom rom especially CM9.while for "SD card damaged" it will shown on custom rom,but after a while it appear to be normal after i ignore it..
so wondering is that memory card issue or what...
Did you tried just turn your fone off, remove de SD card, "clean" it and reinsert?

agree. and if that doesn't solve the issue, then your sdcard might be defective.
Hi
I'm not sure I understand the transcend SD card and its capabilities. I've formatted my 64GB SD card to transcend and only the transcend card shows up when I connect with PC. I have 46GB free space, yet often when I try to load an app, I'm getting an "insufficient space" notification. Obviously, there's still a limitation on internal phone space, but I can't see a breakdown in file explorer. I had hoped to free up space by moving my music (13GB) to the SD card, but since there's only the transcend card showing, it's already there.
What am I missing, please and where do I need to go to free up some "internal" space, when I show 46GB free??
Many thanks

Someone in another thread said they got an error saying Sandisk sd cards are unsupported. This should probably read, "The sd card you've inserted is formatted with an unsupported filesystem, may we format it?"
Once you do the prompts it becomes apparent that the sd needs to be re-formatted into a supported filesystem. Iirc I inserted it with exfat formatting.
I get the error when i insert my Samsung 128 card
