Hi,
I just bought a class 10 16gb off ebay. do class 10's not work? Or do I have to put certain files on the microsd to work? When I put it in the phone it just says there is no microsd but it works fine in my computer.
thanks
same thing happened with me as well. i had 8 gb micro sd card that came up with the phone.
yesterday i used it to install windows 7 on my acer aspire one d250 netbook. after that i formatted it and inserted into phone, it said "memory card removed, insert new one" though the computer was able to read it.
i reformatted it with fat32 and again inserted into myphone, same result
again with ntfs and same result(using mini tool partition wizard)
today also i kept playing with my sd card
just a couple of minutes ago i formatted my sd card with fat32
and then i right clicked my sd card in mini tool partition wizard>>>>> then i clicked "modify">>>>>>then clicked on "change partition type id"
>>>>>> i changed it to "0*06 fat16,greater than 32 mb" >>>>>>>and then yes
and guess what now my phone can read my sd card
and don't forget to apply changes on the left hand side on mini tool partition wizard
hope it helps
cheers
Yes .... i am not crazy.... both my 8gb and 2gb are not being recognized on x10i with baseband 54 or is it ... the xrecovery mod [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01]
either way i am going to downgrade to baseband 46 and do a full SEUS repair...
I would rather a working phone over the prettiest... left baseband 54 and did the SEUS repair tingy... and voila... it recognizes the card again ...HIP HIP HORRAY

this method worked for me!
Class 10 works fine X10a stock or Bitsnacker. Problems recognising in CM ROMs. Used MiniTool (freeware; http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html) to copy MicroSD to HDD (or empty USB) then Formatted Micro ON THE PHONE (Settings-SDcard...-unmount-Format) Mount on PC, then copy everything back to SD gets me recogn. and no data loss.....

I did that but the microSD card still not recognized. When I turned on my phone, it said that I had to format my card. But when I pressed OK, it said that "Formatting failed".
What should I do next?
try the second method posted. worked for me. He forgot you have to hit APPLY after all the steps though :S

one question that i really cant understand..
how wud you hit the format button on your phone when it cant detect any sd card.. i really dont understand.. please be specific.. thanks..
reflash 2.1
i used other sdcard then i reflash my phone back to 2.1 using update service.. and it works.. and yehey, it reads my old sdcard.. tnx to all
in some case the problem of the sdcard that no appear or not can be readed is a problem of the manufacturer, in my casi I'm using a Patriot 32 GB Class 10, the only problem may be in one time the sd locked and i can't write or do anything on it but i format it and that fixed

I have an x10 mini pro with f/w 1.2.A.1.174. Can anyone please tell me if my cell phone can run a 32 gb microSDHC card ? I currently have an 8 gb microSDHC card and it runs without any problems.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I believe it won't. u20i only supports 16 gb
Thanks pabling19. I will try to check it out with my friend.
It supports 16 GB max. Doesnt recognize if you insert 32 GB card. I've tried once.

Ok. Thanks li_boud.
Could you not partition the card?

i dont think that 32gb Sdhc microSD is created by Sony, Kingston if it was then definitely supported coz i myself use 16gb microSD card
Just a quick question, when you install a new microsd, do you factory restore your phone or you can just copy everything from the old to new? Because I'm having problems when I installed a new microSD, my phone restarts frantically whenever I mount/unmount when I'm connected to a pc

Maybe it's better to format the card from your phone, then copy the content of your old SD card.
I asked se support and waiting for answer
I formatted my new card with normal pc formatting tool, put it into phone and it ran no problem.. I didnt have any app installed to card or anything so it was just photos music and stuff aplications create there..
I'm happy with the 8Gb card, for a phone that small.

but it dosent tell anything about HC cards.. i just bought a 32GB microsdhc card. but it tells me its damaged. i searched around on the web and dident really find anything usefull.. some1 tells they can use it, and some say they cant..
but i tryed to formate it in phone couple times, with no luck.. then i tried to formate with my default formate tool on my xp pc. formatet it to FAT32. only option i had. FAT32 or exFAT..
after formate with pc i set it in the phone again. and it said its damaged twice then miraculously it mounted it. :O.
i mounted the phone with usb cable and copied everything from old card to it. (Old card 2 Gigs)
apperently it seems to work.. i tryed also to reboot and it mounted the 32GB Sandisk MicroSD HC card..
lets see how long it gonna work..
when i was witing this it rebooted. not sure if its the cards fault. never rebooted b4. hmm
gonna get back about that.
(sorry for the weird links. cant put links yet.. need to write 8 posts.)
Ps. I have the ¨Old¨ X10 min pro with Custom rom. CM7 v20.

Mine certainly does. Kingston 32GB class 10 works like a charm.
x10 mini pro (u20): 16gb
mini pro (sk17): 32gb
They deleted X10 mini pro page, it did said 32 gb for it, stop saying that it's 16 gb only.
when i inserted 32gb in mini pro it worked very very hard.but 16gb is very very good.
Hi all, I bought yesterday 32Gb Kingston Class 4 microSDHC card. Now my phone is very unstable with this memory. I mean, sometimes it can't mount it, sometimes it shows its empty, formatting almost hangs phone, some apps hang phone (apps on sd). Looks like the phone doesn't want to eat this big memory too well.
I already tried soft reset, and dalvik cache deleting. Didn't help.
microSD is formatted into Fat32 and 32Kb clusters in windows with HP Formatting tool.
If I try to reformat with phone, nothing seems to happen....
It can work perfectly for a 20min, but if I try to turn many apps on and off, it will reboot. After what it doesn't see apps on SD card. wtf? But after complete reboot, it'll work again for a some time.
I have 2.2 Android from elelinux.
If I use my old 2Gb card, everything works just great.
Any ideas?
P.S
What does this recovery mode SD card formatting? Maybe I should try this one?
I have ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7. There are some interesting options like..
What ARE these?
1. Format Cache
2. Format SD card
3. Format sd-ext
4. Wipe Cache Partition
P.P.S LOL I can't turn off phone. It is rebooting always. Wtf?

According to the HTC website, our Hero's should support 32GB.
But that's as far as my knowledge on your issue goes. Just ordered a 32GB Class 4 SanDisk card myself, so when its delivered (hopefully Friday) I'll let you know how it performs.
Just an update for you, mine came in the post yesterday and it seems to work fine with my phone. Loaded it with 20gb of music and it runs fine.
Yep should run fine with 32gb sd cart
i'm having many of the same issues with my 32gb. had a 16gb before, and all was well.
now the phone randomly goes back to charge only when i have it plugged into PC as disk drive. i'm having trouble making backups in recovery too as it says its randomly unreadable in the middle of backing up. also, and seemingly most frustrating, is it is refusing to actually transfer files from PC to SD. i will plug in as disk drive and move all files without issue. however, when i eject disk drive and switch back to charge only mode (or simply unplug), none of the files have actually been moved to my device. they are simply missing entirely when i open any file manager.
i've tried everything. formatting on device, formatting through W7 (quick and full), and formatting through the official sdcard.org tool. nothing helps.
Try this
If u have a linux PC, u will know about gparted, I guess.
Do this: boot to ur favourite linux distro. plug the sd card to ur pc using a card reader. open gparted. click tools and then click new partition table. it will wipe everything from the card.
once done, just setup the partitions as u want for fat, ext or whatever. i was having a htc tattoo troubling me with a 16GB card but now its okay.
Hello there,
I just bought a 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSD card.
After inserting it, I made sure the phone sees it, and the computer sees it.
So I started transfering files to it...
Every time I try to transfer files to it, the cards sort of unmount, the computer stops seeing the External/Internal storage drivers info (0/0 KB and no files).
I realized I might be needing to format it, so I went to recovery and formatted the external card. Still no good...
If I don't try to transfer files, the internal sd card still works fine.
Am I formatting it wrong? or some other issue? Did I buy a faulty card?
Thanks!
P.S. Some info incase needed:
Using Galaxy S2 obviously, Resurrection Remix ICS 4.04
My PC is running XP SP3

Added some pictures to demonstrate what I mean.

If unsure about the quality of your SD card google for h2testw. It is a Windows test software you can use to test your SD card.
Tried formatting it... still no good.
And h2test tries to copy a file repeatedly and after some time it also gets stuck like I do manually...
I was running into the exact same issue as you with an SD card awhile back. Tried many, if not all of the suggestions listed here. Sometimes, the cards just die on you, especially at the most inopportune times...

Open CMD
Type format [letter_of_external_card]: /x
ex.
format E: /x
and wait.
Then format again (through Windows Explorer) with this settings:
FAT32
default allocation size
fast formatting checked
and share the results.

Failure of h2test is normally due to defective hardware.
For SD cards I do not really know but when it comes to USB sticks there are many around that are just cheap crap. You could for instance buy a 8GB stick that will happily accept 8GB of data but only store 4-6GB!. This is where h2test comes into play: it will not only write but also read and therefore check if the data written was really stored in the flash.

Class 10? That card might be just too fast for your hardware.
I'm using Sandisk 32GB Class 4 and never had any problems.
I have tried some Class 6 and Class 8 cards with very various results.
Only class 8 card I found correctly working in my device was Memorex, but it was only 4GB.
So I gave up on fast cards...
its fake or corrupt,did you buy the samsung off a retailer , you always test flash with h2testw before you use it, speed is not the issue,i got a class 10 32gb i had many 16,256,4gb fakes, only 3.7 gb usable droped down to 1kb write then windows couldnt read the storage so you reformat again.
Hey all,
Last friday i wanted to place some MP3's on the MicroSD-card in the phone, 16GB. Something went wrong (Phone shutted down) and since then the MicroSD-card isn't recognized by the phone.
If i place another MicroSD-card in the phone it works with no problems.
The MicroSD that doesn't work in the phone, does work in windows with an SD Adaptar... I formatted the card (FAT 32), won't work... Resetted my phone... won't work... I can use the card in windows normally, it writes and reads data like any other card... but my phone just won't recognize it...
Anyone has some idea?

I formatted the bad MicroSD multiple times in Windows using Minitool Partition... It says its fat32, cmd chkdsk says its fat32... I can put content on the microsd and use the content.
But the phone won't recognize it.. It's a 16gb card and if the phone does not recognize it, i can't format it... It's like he phone doesnt even know there is an microsd inserted...

mayb u can try it from a friend of urs in case they have 1
I will try if i have someone with such a card... In the mean time wouldnt it be possible to make two 8GB partitions? Or 4 GBs?
If i make it an NTFS-card? Will it ask to reformat? If the phone can actually see the card... Sigh..

Didn't work... it's like the phone has turned off the SD-Card reader when inserted with that card
It's being checked on reading errors in windows..... but so far 0..
Well... no problems found..
I checked the info of the SD-cards.. changed the serialnumber of the one not working to the one working.. i also tried to change it to change the partition ID but that does not work.. it doesnt get changed..
Try this : insert SD card, go to settings, storage, and mount SD card.

I was just gonna say, if you have cwm you can format it from there. That's actually how I fixed one of my bricked SD cards. Only cwm could format it. Partition mini tool said bad disk.
Also try this from terminal or adb:
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1 and see what it says.

I recently bought scandisk 64GB micro sdxc card, but looks like its not recognized by android.I have formatted it to FAT32.When I boot into recover y I cannt mount sd card. I cannot open Settings->storage also.
any suggestion , with which ROM 64GB will work?
Got it working.Earlier I formatted card to FA32 and then I was inserting it in phone.It did not work.
Using SD formatter I formatted it back to exFAT and then inserted it into phone. I flashed ROM based on Samsung (wanamlite) .Now when phone is booted it scan for errors in USB , it detects unknown USB storage. So it prompts for blank or unsupported format. I clicked on it and then it automatically formats the sdcard.
Now its working fine.
