Hello,
I'm now on my second 16GB micro SDHC card, the first one by CoreMicro, and this one by A-Data and both are having the same problem. My Rhodium, with a stock rom, will stop detecting the card after a random period of time, or really quickly if a program is constantly accessing the memory card, such as with music or an audio book.
This has never happened with my 8gb Transcent micro SDHC card, and since its happened twice with cards from 2 different manufacturers, i'm thinking its not the cards, but the Rhodium itself.
Does anyone know of anything that might be causing this problem or how to fix it?

Thank you for that. I guess we can add 2 more brands that dont work: A-Data and CoreMicro. Sigh...
Did you format the card accordingly?
Google panasonic sd format. Use that program as it formats the card correctly using the correct allocations.

I've been using a 16gb A-Data card for a few months with no real problems.

I have been using a 16 gb A-Data as well, on my VZN (CDMA) TP2 without problems.

My A-Data 16GB class 6 card caused no problems in normal use or with Navigon 7. The problems only occured in MP3 playback, but for that use where very reproducible.

Good I just bought one. Decided to buy it over the transcend although my transcend 8gb worked better than my adata 8gb. Seems to be the opposite going on by what people have been saying on the thread. Will check back in if there is a problem with it.
I have been using a RiData 16 GB Class 6 for over a month without a problem on a Telus TP2
I would think it is a problem with the TP2.
I used my Adata 16GbC6 in the TP2 and had problems. Stuck it in my Canon camera and had no problems with it at all.
RMAed replacement arrives from AData today. Will see if I did in fact have a fault card. Doubt it.
I have a Verizon TP2 and am using an A-Data 16GB class 6 card with no problems. Heck, I didn't even format it before use.
I am having similar problems with a sandisk 16 GB class 2 on a Verizon TP 2. I'd like to try a newer Sandisk however to see whether that helps it. I can't find any class 6 Sandisks though. Are they not out yet?
I had a sandisk 16gb card which was fine, but somehow it got corrupted so I bought an ADATA card. it works fine EXCEPT I CANNOT flash roms off it. my device doesnt see it at bootup. very strange (so I have to install ROMS off an older card).
Any thoughts anyone?

YuP to quote myself...
I can confirm that I am having the same problems with my a-data 16 gig card class 6..
Problem: Can't flash from sd card with 8 gig nor from the 16 gig class 6.
The transcend card and sandisk it works like it should.
Anyone else have this problem from a-data

Does the shift support the SDHC Class 6 Memory Card or just the standart sd memory card?
If yes what which one do you recommend? Thanks
I hope so! I have a 16gb SD card coming on Wedenesday!!!
I read somewhere else (it was a review on the internet) that an 8gb SDHC card was used to test movie playback and there were no issues.
I'll report back here on Wed/Thurs regarding my findings with a 16gb SDHC Class6
it does, I have one and it workes like a charm.
Yep, mine work a treat. Not a fast as I hope as I bought a Class 6 16gb SDHC. Most I've seen is 3.4MB/sec (writing) when its in the slot. If I use the SDHC card in the USB adapter I purchased, I see 14-16MB/sec!

I've just bought a 4GB Kingston SDHC class 6 and I'm gutted as the Shift isnt picking it up at all. Tried a standard 256MB I had lying around and it works no problem. Anyone else had problems?
what brand?

Thank you for your response! Not expecting such a quick reply I have already bought one beeing convinced by the seller of the possibility of replacement in case it would not work properly...but it happened to be exactly the same card; what intuition !
When inserted, my SD card sticks out by about 3mm. Is this true for everybody, or have I been unlucky enough to have bought a 'long' SD?
R U joking? Don't worry it is like that...otherwise it would be rather hard to press it if you wanted to unplug it...relax my mate

32 GB Topram sdhc class 6 - is this compatible?
I'm glad I searched this thread...i just found this 32GB sdhc class 6 card
http://www.buy.com/prod/topram-32gb-class-6-sdhc-high-speed-flash-memory-card-usb-2-0-sdhc/q/loc/101/210247368.html
Since no one has updated from a year ago on gerardo66 question,
Can anyone confirm if "TOPRAM" is a compatible make (or a reliable card)?
If not, is there a better manufacturer that anyone favors?
Transcend class 6 32GB SDHC on Shift
Just got my 32GB card today.
I can confirm the Transcend class 6 32GB SDHC card works fine as well (for the few hours I've had it in the Shift).
I am only getting 5MB/sec max write speed from stock HDD to SD card, read speed is fast though!
Searched and found nothing....will an sdhc card work in our TP or do we have to stay with sd?? I was about to buy a 8GB but then thought it might not work. I assume the sdhc will be fine, but didnt want to waste money. Thanks
it works perfectly.. i have a sandisk 16gb micro sdhc and never had problems..
Great, thanks!!
Why does the HTC Touch Pro spec not say microSDHC? That is a bit confusing. http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/specification.html
Thats why I questioned it. Ordered me an 8GB class 6 yesterday though

What you read somewhere else is that sometimes the flashing of certain packages doesn't play well with SDHC. I have a 2 GB SD on standby just in case. The device runs the 8GB SDHC just fine all day.
I purchased a Kingston 8gb class 4 card for my Hero, but have had loads of problems with it from being very slow and sluggish, to not even being able to show all my photos or even all my folders!
The seller is going to provide a replacement, but I am thinking of getting refund and am wondering whether I should go for a Samsung class 6 or stick with a SanDisk made one, as I have also heard they are reliable.
Any ideas / thoughts please?

Did anyone tried Micro SDHC 32GB card with X10 after 2.1 Eclare Update?

the class reprezents the speed of your memory card
I bought a 32GB Kingston Class 4 and it keeps unmounting itself and overall lose contact with the phone but it works perfect in he PC.
I have done a 32GB filer verification so it's not a counterfeit 8GB in a 32GB disguise.
But I keep having trouble with it once it's in the phone.
It's a HTC Legend with BlaYo ROM
I have exactly the same micro SDHC (32 CB class4 Kingston) in a XPERIA X10 and it functions perfect. Try format with MiniToolPartitionWizard under Windows. Success!
I'm using a 16GB Class 10. Transferring songs are plainly drag and drop.
If you opt for speed over capacity, go for 16GB C10 instead. I'm using the Transcend one at 14MB/s writing speed. (priced at 33USD)
Well uh, why do you need 32GB for a phone?
what a question ))
why do you need 16GB?

I'm using one Transcend 16gb class 10 card, i can tell some things:
On the usb adapter it can WRITE at up to 16~20MB on linear writing and READ up to 22~25MB on linear reading.
This cards rocks, i had a sandisk 8gb class 6 mSD and will never regret this change.
This time i can get real HD recordings as before i would sometimes give me some small breaks when recording if for some reason anything tried to access the card at the same time.
By the way most class 6 cards record actually between 4~6MB!
So when I got my S4 I had a 32GB sandisk card (don't know what class it was, came with my HTC thunderbolt). Needed more room, so I bought this. My sd card f*cking unmounts 4/5 a day. When it does I have to reboot it and take it out until it fixes itself. Then it'll go a week or two without any problems. My 32GB sd card did the same thing, just not as often, and I gave that 32gb sd card to my girlfriend who got the AT&T version of the S4 and it did it to her a few times, she accidently had the phone format it, now she has no problems... the 64gb is formatted to exFat, I'm in the processs of formatting it to fat32 and transferring data as we speak, but am I the only one with this issue? I read on the CleanRom thread that S4 have issues with SanDisk brands, someone said they switched to Kingston becauee their S4 wouldn't mount their sandisk.
Is it software / root related? because my girlfriend is stock unrooted and hers works fine and it's an older card but it's also not the same size or class (honestly I know it's not just asking maybe there's a mount issue with debloated firmware) Or is it a defected card/phone?
The card itself is fine. Reads fine on my pc. I checked the sectors and partition with Ubuntu gparted utility and it passed the tests... but I still heard they can be defected and it's a big problem and they'll replace it.
Anyone have a 64gb sandisk class 10 and wanna give me their experience?

My advice is don't format the card to fat32 as fat32 causes data loss over time. Had it happen to me. Stick with exfat
Mine does the same thing...64gb...damaged or it unmounts. Not sure what is going on. I'm almost thinking its a software issue or incompatible with this phone. Never had this issue with my S3.

TL;DR: Buy a class 4 SD card
I bought the S4 on day 1 and started having the unmount issues with my 64GB SanDisk Class 10. When it started messing up my Spotify, I knew I had to try and figure it out. Well after testing with 4 S4s (2 of them mine as I returned my first S4 because of this issue), and a bunch of SD cards, I really think it comes down to the class. Class 4 provides a faster random write speed than 10s do, and I think that might help the issue. Both class 4's that I tested did not (and have not) unmounted once yet.
I bucked up the cash and bought all of these cards brand new for the testing. I ended up returning the Class 10's that I could and keeping both the Class 4's - 1 for a co-worker.
SD Cards Tested:
SanDisk 64GB Class 10 (x3) - One was brand new
SanDisk 32GB Class 10 (x2) - One was brand new
SanDisk 64GB Class 4 (x1) - Brand New
SanDisk 32GB Class 4 (x1) - Brand New
I have an open case with SanDisk and they are testing one of my 64GB Class 10's right now, and then are supposed to send me back another new 64GB Class 10 to help solve the issue. Pretty sure that one is going to unmount too though :silly:

Try fat32 no issues so far, but you're right I think it's an s4 issue because my brothers note 2, my two friends note 2, and an s3 all used my card fine with no problems.

Could be the class 10, but at the same time the class ten is the only one that comes with exfat, correct? I'm thinking it's a software glitch with 64gb exfat cards. Thanks for the info though.

Idk about your unmount problem, but u suspect bad card, I just got my 64gb replaced that had an issue like that.
Fat32 is only bad for 64gb cards because fat32 apparently doesn't officially support file systems over 32gb. 32gb cards obviously don't have that problem.
