Hi,
Today I bought a new Mini Sd Card for my htc Wizard. But when I put it into my ppc, file explorer doesn't recognize it. Formatting to Fat or Fat32 won't help.
I tried to format it with a photo camera, but no results.
When i put it into the phone, the backlight lights up..
It's not a SDHC card..
Any help is appreciated..

Maybe problem with the Card, as its still new get it replaced
Thx for the reply,
But it works perfectly in other devices.
Then you must see if other cards work in your Device if they dont then there is a problem in your Wizard. Check and tell me then i'll tell you what else you can do to run it.
I've put a 256mb card in it, and it shows up in file explorer. So it works..

What is the size of your new Mini SD card? Maybe its size is not supported by Wizard?? SO plz tell the New Mini SD's size.

It has a 2gb capacity, non hc.
I thought thr wizard supported 2 gb sd cards, right?
I have the same trouble, my existing Kingston 2GB card works just fine, I bought two more but they are not recognised by the wizard but my old one still is. The only way I could get them to be seen by the wizard is by using a Low Level Format tool from HDDGuru and having formated it with that popped the card in the wizard which asks to format it. This takes a few seconds and the card is recognised however if I take it out and put it back in again it can't be recognised... my PC can see them in its card reader...
So I figured the Wizard is very particular about how the card is set up with regards to cluster size etc. Just haven't got around to analyzing the card that works to find out the correct set up.
By the way it also might be that I am using a custom ROM and when it formats the card its not doing everything it should
Yes your right it supports 2GB and 2GB card shuld work maybe you shuld still try it getting replaced by a same model or a card of someother company. TC
@ funkycowie
That tool didn't work for me...
@ xda_haseeb
I have a 265mb mini sd card, and it works perfectly in my wizard.
Brand of the 256mb: SanDisk
Brand of the 2gb: Kingston minisd adapter
Maybe Kingston isnt supportedtry getting it replaced with a 2GB Sandisk MiniSD Adapter and then see wht happens. TC
Interesting, my card that works is a Micro SD in a Kingston MiniSD adapter that is 2GB and it works... the other two I bought are micro sd as well but came with SD only adapters and the text on the card although the same has a different serial number which could indicate that they are set up differently to the one that does work.
I have a microsd in a minisd adapter too, but it doesn't work.
I have 2 mini sd adapters, but none of them works.
I also have a micro sd card in a mini sd adapter. The phone doesn't read it at all. The card is a 1 gb kensington micro sd in a san disk adapter. The card was only 4 bucks, so I'm not to disappointed but I wish it would work.

I guess there maybe a compatibility issue b/w two different accesories i.e your using SanDisk adpter and Kingston card try both of a same company i.e both Kingston or both SanDisk. TC
I had a 2 gig no-name brand card that started throwing errors and then stopped being detected in the Wizard. For a week or so I could detect it in the card reader on my PC but not in the phone. Finally it stopped working altogether. I have seen it before. There is circuitry in the card that fails and causes this problem. The card reader I was using was simply not as selective as the Wizard and eventually the Mini-SD failed there too.
Once it failed completely there was simply no bringing it back. Since then I have paid the extra for SanDisk cards (about a dozen) and have had 1 failure that the store happily replaced. In my line of work I learned a long time ago that these cards do fail even under the best of conditions sometimes. I always recommend to anyone with card problems to simply replace a card that throws errors as soon as possible with a card recommended by the manufacturer.
I know its a microSD and the max for microSD is 32gb... however. I have fashioned a case to use a micro-sd converter. I do notice that once you are at 64gb it is a SDXC not SDHC standard. The connections are the same, but is our phone capable of addressing the memory past 32gb?
I would LOVE to drop a 128gb sd card into this bad boy!
I just remembered there was a thread based on pretty much the same question as you just asked, just head on over to the thread link I will post and read it up, but the answer is mainly on the page I will link it to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216416&highlight=64gb+micro&page=2
cheers and hit thanks if you want.
edit: the answer above is only if you plan on usind SDXC, but I remember certains users hooking up a mini drive or some sort to their device so yes our device can use more than 32GB at a cost though of design?... just not SDXC cards though.
using bigger cards
Dang well since sdxc is the only 64gb + sd cards.... darn!
I have a microUSB to microSD / SD card converter that I just purchased for like $10. I tested a 64GB microSD card in it and it work just fine as USB storage. Now I'm wondering if a 128GB SD card would work.
Has anybody tried a 128 SD card as a USB storage device in a SGS3? Is the phone recognizing this storage dependent upon the external SD card converter / reader or the phone itself? I'd try myseld but I don't want to spend $150 only to find out that it doesn't work.

I think it will work....You mean a normal 128gb right?...It should work..No one thought a 64gb microXC would work on GB phones.and it did.
I believe the Galaxy S3 meets the hardware requirements for SDXC cards, so I would think it would work, but no guarantees.
I am curious to know, as I have a 32GB card now, so 128GB in a year or so will likely be my upgrade choice, if it works.
Remember that I'm talking about a 128 GB SD (NOT microSD) card used through a micro-USB to SD converter plugged in through the bottom of the phone. I'm NOT talking about a 128GB microSD through the back card slot, which doesn't yet exist.
I'm just thhinking this might be dependant upon the converter's ability to read a 128GB sd card, not so much the phone's, but I'm not sure.

Ah I see.
I'm not sure, then.
I guess no one has tried this yet, nor knows if reading a 128 GB SD card is dependant on the converter itself or the phone's USB mas storage recognition.
Guess it's gonna be a #$150 experiment then,

in theory it should work, right? cause people are reporting reading hard drives (500G or so) by usb OTG with no problem
WOW

I didn't even know you could do that! So I'm guessing you are plugging the card reader in to the bottom charging port and are then able to copy files to and from it? That's the idea right? I mean it would be kind of silly to walk around with a card reader dangling from the bottom of the phone

I have this plugged in:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MJZOMW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A24Y22QERZZ9SS
...which is WAY cool. Like I said, a 64GB microSD card works fine, both diretly in the microSD slot on the adapter or in an SD card adapter plugged into the SD card slot. I have not tried an SD card over 32GB in the SD slot directly, because I don't have one.
FYI... Sandisk is now selling an "Ultra" 64gb SDXC (micro SD) card that is rated Class 10 and is UHS 1. The "Ultra" tag refers to their class of cards that have 30MB/second read speed (unk. what the write speed is). Sandisk also has an "Extreme Pro" class of cards that have 95MB/second read speed, but the largest "Extreme Pro" in micro SDXC is currently 16gb. If you shop hard, you can find the 64gb "Ultra" SDXC card for less than $60 currently.
It's been previously reported that Razr supports SDXC cards, including 64gb (see this thread).
For anyone who might buy one, a word of caution. Put it in your Razr and format it there first before trying to use it on your PC. I'm not sure whether I received a defective card, or I somehow ruined my card by trying to format it to FAT32 on a Windows machine (using Paragon Partition Manager). I spent hours screwing with it before giving up and returning it to the seller.
I have the same 32gb version in my razr right now and it runs great. I assume the 64gb one wouldn't be any different.
Got mine for $23 on Amazon. Couldn't pass it up for that price.

I just picked up one of these as well. Quick question, I have the option to use either a internal SD card slot (Macbook pro) or a USB adapter (MicroSD --> USB dongle). Which one will provide faster transfer rates?
I would love one of these. Just too much for me right now.

It depends...
Is your USB adapter USB 2.0?
I typically use the SD Card slot with the adapter provided with the micro SD card.
USB for transfer unless you have a good adapter can be slower.
I use one 32gb class 10, works fine.

Have you tried a HD 1080p recording on your 32gb class 10 card ? , if yes - did you find any difference when you tried the same recording on a class 4 ( assuming 30 fps and standard cache)?
Got my one for a few weeks, phone has never been so slow.
Not faulty (tested the card multiple times) - anyone else having issues? I feel like I have a Galaxy S1. Just weird behaviour - Swype takes forever for k/b to appear, winamp takes forever for thumbnails for albums to appear - just apalling performance from my phone.

Try this... format the SD card from ur phone... increase the cache size of the card and give it a try..

Thanks dude - how does one increase the cache size though? Is this some kind of repartitioning or a bit easier?

I couldn't mount it or format it. My RAZR kept saying it was damaged. So, I formatted it in my PC first and all is well.
If you're under Windows XP, you'll need to have a program to do this. I used EaseUS Partition Master which you can get for free at http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html.
So far, the card works great and it's nice to have more room for DLC and songs.
I own this card.
It was a pain in the ass to format, but once I formatted it a few times, it worked great.
64gb picked up for like 70$ shipped from ebay. All my Community, Walking Dead and music and SO much more. Couldnt be happier
I just orderd sandisk ultra 16gb and I will probably recieve it next week. I have atm 8gb class 4 card and I want to move all of my stuff from my 8gb card to my 16gb, what is the best way to do it?
Also do I need to do anything before I use it on my phone? Do I need to format it in my PC?

You can simply put it in the phone. No need to do anything beforehand. If it requires you to format, the phone will tell you to do so.
I've given up completely on trying to get this to work in my phone. The phone will recognize it as 64GB, but will freeze up on numerous occasions even if I'm not accessing it. Does no one else have the freezing issue? Running Flick 5.0 Tornado
So what's the concensus on this "extreme" cards' performance while in the phone? Are backups faster? Transferring files to/from a dekstop while connected via USB faster?
Trying to decide on the best SD card for my 16GB...any suggestions? I noticed I can't even update to newest firmware without microsd card...

I bought a SanDisk 32Gb MicroSDHC Class 10 (UHS-1) first, but had to return it due to periodic "card disconnected" messages. I've always thought SanDisk is one of the best flash memory brands, but many people reported problems with S4.
Samsung 32GB Pro MicroSDHC (UHS-1) has been working great for me so far.

Hmm alright leaning towards the Samsung...any more feedback?
I pretty much gave up on the 64gb Samsung and stuck in an older 64gb Sandisk & have had no problems (fat32). I formatted the Samsung multiple times in different formats and always ended up with 1) the stock music player unable to use it and/or 2) my recovery (TWRP & CWM) unable to use it. From all I've read I'm in a minority as most seem to have good results with the Samsung cards.

FWIW, I went with the Samsung just because people were having issues with the SanDisks. And it's was pretty much the best priced one on Amazon. Formatted it to Fat32 and have not had any issues.
Sandisk has identified the problem and has launched a new firmware to fix the compatibility issues their cards have been having with Samsung devices. If you buy a card out of the factory, you will have zero issues. I bought one a while back and was having the "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" issue. They sent me one a few weeks later with the new firmware.
I would go Sandisk just because they are definitely a bigger name in SD cards, and if you experience any problems they will send you a new one no problem.
Update on my Samsung card. Formatted on the phone and all seems fine. Still exFat the way it was shipped - also formatted it exFat using my laptop - but the phone format appears to fix my problems.
