okay first i have a cingular 812. i know its old but i have to live with it for 1 or 2 years till i get a job and have enough money to get a newer phone. anyway i looked all over the internet for mini sd, i guess there extinct now. so i was thinking of buying this: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9107226
but my question is if i use that little micro sd put it on the mini sd adapter and put the adapter in my phone would i be able to transfer music, movies, themes, and software on it and run it from my 8125? thanks
if it's not sdhc if your device dont support sdhc that is
it should work i use a microSD in converter in my old device which
have std SD only it works ok
so if i dont have sdhc supported then i wont be able to use the converter?
you can use a converter with non sdHC microSd cards just fine
but the converter don't make a device able to use sdhc cards if it don't support it
I keep getting a usb storage damaged message. I have read that it is sometime an issue with the galaxy s3. Also sometimes when I first unlock the phone it says prepping sd card even though I did not remove it.
Also my SD card is a SanDisk 64gb class 10. I have read that this can be an issue with a certain crop of SanDisk.
Any tips? As of right now entitling works and if it's just messages popping up.
Sent from my pocket unicorn!
Have you tried using the SD card in other devices and on a computer?
I had a *similar* problem with an old MicroSD card in my original Galaxy phone and formatting the card seemed to work. I can't speak too much to your issue because the largest MicroSD card I've used is 32 and it's been flawless.
Yeah, verify across devices first. If not, try filing a claim with SanDisk if you purchased the sdcard only recently and it's already gone bye-bye.
I purchased a Sandisk Ultra 32GB Micro SD Card. It had been working OK but this afternoon after I watched a movie I had stored in the card, it stopped working. The phone is unable to recognize it and I have tried using an adapter for my PC but it does not prompt nor recognize its presence. Logically, I believe this tells me the card no longer works but I am curious as to what could have led to this as it stopped working within two hours after it had been working just fine. Any thoughts? Any manner to get back to working?
Thanks!

This is somewhat common. There are two threads about it that I know of. Contact sandisk and it will be replaced. I'm on the 3rd one...

SDHC already supports capacities up to 2TB, but Windows will not format a FAT32 device above 32GB so the decision was made to stop SDHC cards at 32GB and switch to SDXC which uses exFAT. If you don't care about exFAT and don't mind using a 3rd party format tool you can probably use SDXC cards in SDHC devices but this is only theory...officially this is not meant to be possible.

Basically the only time the 64 gb sdxc card would be in the pc (Win 7) would be to transfer any photos/video taken with the Tab s to the PC or vice versa wanting to transfer a photo/video from pc to the Tab S. All other times the Tab s would be the permanent home for the 64 gb sdxc card. I know I could do the transfer via usb but I'm not sure if it would be slower doing it that way.
It's a shame they never thought to make it compatible with USB 3.0.

I know pal i tend to agree.
32GB UHS-1. I can't get mine to work, whether formatted fat32 or ntfs via PC. Tablet 8.4 simply doesn't recognize it.
My older sandisk 32GB class 4 disk works just fine.
Anyone else have issues with the UHS rated cards?

According to SanDisk it should be supported fine
http://pct1.sandisk.com/ProductList.aspx?DeviceID=21309
I would check if it's a counterfeit / fake card usually these are sold on eBay, Aliexpress or even some marketplace sellers on Amazon/wherever, some even leak into the retail sites, they look identical packagewise and design wise (sometimes it might have blury paint job, or typos on the packaging) ...
To check if it's fake there is various software for the pc (like H2TESTW or chkflsh ) that will write all the blocks on the card and tell you if it's fake..
btw I have a Sandisk UHS-1 64GB card and it works fine. so chances are you got either a counterfeit or a dud.
Though you could just have a card that went bad, I have had several SanDisk micro sdcards fail (one just went poof, nothing-dead, the other went to read only mode), my card had a lifetime warranty and SanDisk has been great with sending replacements. (you will need a camera to take a close up, (so you can read the serial number on the back of the card)-if you choose to RMA and it's legit)
My Sandisk UHS-1 MicroSD that works fine on my Tab Pro 8.4.
NTFS, while a Windows favorite, can be problematic with Android devices. exFAT is pretty much standard nowadays (especially now that larger capacity cards are common - not supported by FAT32), although the old reliable FAT32 should work fine for 32GB.
Try formatting exFAT on your PC, or formatting on the tablet.
Otherwise you may have a counterfeit (tons of them on eBay as mentioned in the previous response) or simply a defective card.
Android never even had it listed as a device, so even kicking a format via CLI wasn't an option.
Everything tests ok on the PC, but something clearly isn't right. Back it goes.
Found the SDSDQX-032G-A46A for $20 at BestBuy, as well as the SDSDQX-064G-A46A for $40.
I print them both out from the website and drive to the store - where we pull up the website and the pricing has changed back to $80 & $150.. They wouldn't honor the printouts. What a great company. Google cache still has the original price, but the site changed in the time it took me to drive to the store.

try the formatter located here
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
are you running an official firmware on the tab pro?
But you are right, even with a bad filesystem it should prompt you to format it - strange, if you have root access you can check dmesg or logcat in terminal to see what's happening when you insert the card.
I did try that formatting utility.
dmesg shows nothing applicable, and logcat does absolutely nothing when that SD is inserted. When putting in my old SD card I get the typical flurry of activity of detecting, mounting, etc.
I bought a Samsung Pro+ 32GB card and that didn't work either. Clean flashed the final CM12 snapshot, still doesn't like either card. Old card (Sandisk class 4) continues to work fine.
Absolutely nothing in logcat for either of the U3 cards. It is as if nothing is being inserted into the tablet at all.
I'm ssh'd into the tablet. No new devices show @ /dev/block with the new cards. Old one has the expected mmcblk1 and mmcblk1p1.
I have Samsung Evo+ 64GB(for model not sure, but Samsung) and it has 95MB/s reading and 90MB/s writing speed and my 8.4 WiFi detected it. But it doesn't fully use those limits(what i want to say is that my SD card has very fast writing speed but when I uploaded 100MB file to the card, it took about 5 seconds to do that) and I don't know is that SD card broken or tablet is bad.,

I had this happen to me, unfortunately the only way you can fix this, is to give it back to Sandisk (RMA), for replacement. Since your current Card is as they say, pining for the fjords. The good news is that SanDisk support their Cards for up to 10 Years. Which meant more (to me.), when I had spent over 60€'s for it. Today however, you can replace this Card for nearly a Tenner. If anything I can only praise SanDisk's RMA Dept. for being both courteous, and prompt. I think I had to wait a day (or so), to get the confirmation oder. And, likely Six weeks or so for the Return. It was like two years ago now. Thankfully this New Card hasn't died on me in that time. That first Card, though dies on me like six months, after I bought it. The Representative I spoke with, mentioned that a bad batch of Cards had managed to get though, at the time, and that it wouldn't be an issue to just send the dead card back for a new Retail Package. MicroSD + FullSD Adapter.

First of I doubt, those Tools would be of very much help, if the Card is in fact now dead. When my card died that was it Windows, Linux Phone, or Phablet the Card was non-existant! However the Card should have a Serial Number printed on the Back. (So break out the magnifying glass!), perhaps the tracking was what took the most time before I finally got confirmation.
Just outta interest has anyone tried to shove a 128GB into the Tab-Pro 8.4 to see if it goes?
