Here another 16GB SD card user.
For me its perfect, I have no feeling that it slow down or something
i got a new 16GB SDHC card couple of weeks ago, but since then my phone sometimes restarted itself, and some apps is running very bad, particularly Waze (it's a GPS programm). I tried to format the card with the PC and phone also, but still same results. I had a 2GB card, and had no any problem it all...
Any ideas what may be the problem?
Thank you in advance

try formatting the block size to 32KB
An sd card does not need to be formated only hdd do... What couldve hapend is that your boot sector got screwed up. Try putting your sd card in an card reader and connect it to the pc. On windows 7 go to start type cmd and hit enter. Then type: chkdsk /X /F /A:, where A: is your card reader. Hit enter and wait. I revived a couple SD Card by this method. Without losing any data!
***Ignore this***
Edited for clarity.
I have a Class4 16 gb card. Worked well so far.
Guys - Can we lose the personal criticism here - this thread is bang on the money with a problem I'm really struggling with and I'd hate for the thread just to become a shouting match.
My daughters x10 Mini Pro (running latest paul-xxx version of CM7) is just refusing to play nicely with a Sandisk 8Gig Class 4 SDHC which has prviously worked perfectly in a Samsung Genio.
On the 8 Gig card music jumps between tracks as you are listening , apps moved to SD Card refuse to run, photos save OK and will open once in Gallery but then the jpgs get corrupted and cannot be reopened on the phone or when transfered to a PC.... and to crown it all I get random reboots/freezes.
If I drop back to an old Kingston 2 Gig Micro-SD (ie non-SDHC) everything on the phone works fine and yet when I format the 8Gig card on my PC, there are never any errors and I can then copy files on and off the card (via the card reader in the PC) multiple times with no issues.
Is this just a somewhat more extreme example of other peoples experiences or would you suspect my micro SD is b*ggered?
I suspect that this "quality" Sony phone is just so sensitive to SDHC cards that I need to get one which others can confirm works reliably and stick to it.
For now my daughter is content to run with the 2 Gig card and have a stable, working phone but obviously she'd like to carry more than a dozen Albums and Apps at any time.
Any advice?

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..
Rindert
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..

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.
Hi
I bought a 4gig MicroSD and would like to know the steps to update the SD please
Update?
All you need to do is take off the back, pull out the old card, and plug in the new one.
If you want to keep the contents of the old card, just drag the contents to your PC first, then swap the card, and copy the contents back.
update = install a bigger one
tx
take the old out
put the new in =D
thats all you need to do
Now that the mini has been updated to 2.1, are 32 Gig cards supported?
Some initial information was added to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Xperia_X10_Mini_MicroSD_Cards
You should turn off the phone OR unmount the SDCard before remove it.
TX .. I thought there was some wierd partitioning and formatting and so.
tx to all the help

i hope not because i just bought 16gb class 4 from ebay for £14 ( around $28 )
Ill have to give this to my girlfriend if it does coz i need the biggest possible
Seems like you will have to go shopping again. At least for the X10 the 16Gig limit is replaced with a 32Gig limit. At least if I can believe this page:
h t t p : //gadgets.apnafundaz.com/20 10/09/xperia-x10-whi tepaper-revision-6-for-andr oid-2-1-eclair-no-16m-color-adobe-flash-mu lti-touch-and-more/
Though the link is a bit old. So I was hoping that maybe somebody here had already tried this. As I would rather spend my money on a 32 Gig card then buy a 16 Gig card and hear that I could have got double that.. ;-)
Didn't you guys get the fancy card reader with your E10s/U20s?
I bought my E10i on the launching day and in the box was that USB MicroSD-card reader.
Using it is easy to put your contents of your old MicroSD to a folder on your computer. Either temporary (to move it to the new mSD) or as back-up.
Don't remember it's SE name (have mislayed it as I used the reader and 2GB card that came with X10Mini, for installing Ubuntu on a EeePC 701)
Well.. I didn't get a micro SD reader with my kit in Germany..(I had a couple laying around which I was using but they have both died.. I don't know how a reader seems to just keel over and die.. seems something strange happened on an eject in Linux and now they are dead... tried all sorts of things to resurect them. (Linux detects them.. windows too but the reader doesn't detect any micro SD cards I throw at it.... oh well.
on a brighter note.. I just found an A-Data 16GB Class 10 card for under 30 Euro's its at Jacob Elektronics (there is another 7Euro for sending but still a cheap Class 10 card (if it's a real A-Data Class 10 card, my experience of the A-Data brand has been pretty good.. its a reputable brand and the website/shop seems legit.)
I am convinced it will not be any faster than a class 2 card for general use but the transfers between phone and PC will be super quick and for the price.. why not go for the fastest available?
I will let you all know how it turns out.. if it arrives.

I think the A-Data cards will be fine.
Got a full size A-Data SDHC in my camera 8GB class 6.
just a simple swap with phone switched off.
When I upgraded my contract phone to the mini pro, it was bundled with a 2gb card. I told the operator I'd seen a similar deal on a different network only they were shipping with an 8gb card, not a 2gb.
For my cheek, my phone arrived with an 8gb free of charge
You don't ask, you don't get
and also a spare sd card reader too! (now I have 5 )
Well after waiting over a week for the damn Adata 16GB Class 10 card to turn up I finally got hold of the company who said.. " it may be another 3 weeks because of a supply issue" funny as they said they were in stock when I ordered it.
anyway.. I canceled my order (as I am moving back to New Zealand in 2 weeks) and just bought a Sandisk 16GB Class 4 from Conrad electronics for 36 Euro.. meh.. at least its Sandisk so I trust it not to die after a few weeks use..

Good news. Earlier there was some thread in this forum stating that 32 GB doesn't work in Mini - probably while it was on Android 1.6. How is the access speed ? Is it satisfactory?
ye i wanne update to 32GB too, but thinkin about class2 or class3, so any infos here?

I've looked around for 32Gb card, and the only I found where class 2. I'm sure that cards of higher class will be become available, but at the moment I know of none.
im using 16gb class 2.. all apps on there.. working good to me
Hi, apologies if there's another thread on this.. I did a search and combed through 8 pages and couldn't find any reply.. Anyways.
I'd like to run Android on my phone, so I purchased this microSD card from Amazon:
Kingston 8 GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card SDC4/8GB
And I loaded it up with Froyo Sense and I insert it into my phone, and nothing happens, the card is not detected.. I did format the whole card to FAT32 before loading up Android, maybe that's the problem? Any help is appreciated.. Thank you.
Mil
Also I forgot to mention in my initial post that I am using a TMOUS phone but it is unlocked for ATT..
Thanks

bought the card off ebay?..may be a knock-off?

Correction
I think if you're running Android from the SD card (which is the case with HD2) you should have got a higher class SD card (class 6 or higher). Otherwise theoretically class 4 would be sufficient. Additionally there are other reports - just google it - from people complaining from kingston class 4 sd cards being not recognized...

Thanks all, I just went ahead and bought a Transcend class 8 8GB off Amazon instead!
I have seen one mention of someone having problems with their 64gb microSD card. Something about only being able to put on 3 games.
Now I asked them if perhaps they got a fake card, the card or their phone might be faulty? And if they have tried to get replacements.
As I have seen many on here talking about and buying various 64gb ranging from class 6 to class 10 / uhs 1..
I see people running speed tests and all around touting their happiness with it's performance in the SGS3.
So my question is how many, if any, have a problem with their SD on their SGS3?
Provide, if you would be so kind, any details that would help, such as brand, size, model.
I really hope it's an isolated issue.
Thanks,

had no problems with mine, just put it in and it worked straight away, using a
Sandisk 64gb microsdxc class 10 uhs 1
With only a few votes, so far with 6 Sandisk 64gb microSDXC class 10 uhs 1 owners..
Looking good in hopes for my delivery from Amazon in 5 weeks
We've got 8 votes for 64gb class 10 and no posted complaints from those 8 on this thread at least. Sounds promising still so far
I'm using a Sandisk 64gb microsdxc class 10, however sync seem to fail with Mediamonkey and Media player.
Initial sync works fine writing 40GB of mp3 however subsequent sync reports error/hang.
Card works fine in a PC and I tested it with 50GB of 1080P movies, it copied there well and played back flawlessly, so I think my card is good..
However there is something up with MTP sync....
Found 3 others people with the same issue here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=66514
I'm gonna try syncing with kies tonight...
Everyone posting success with their 64GB sdxc, can you specific how you sync your media to the card?
Just straight drag and drop, Windows Media Player, Media Monkey, Songbird etc ?
I have a 64GB but I don't get my phone until (hopefully) later today. I did vote, I'll let you know how it goes until I get the S3.

The only problem is that you can cannot install programs in the Extsdcard because the galaxy s3 says the internal memory card IS NOT REAL, BUT IT IS EMULATED,
it doesn't mention at all that you have a 64gb in The Extsdcard...... AND I have a GENUINE 64 GB SanDisk ExtSd installed...

In the phone specifications you only have a 32gb external memori but if you format the 64gb sd inside sgs3 sometimes it recognizes it well. Try everything. :good:
Im using the 64GB class 10 and I did find I had to reformat it to fat32 as I was getting problems with exfat, like unseen folders in mtp mode and missed songs in my music folder even though all files were there.
Since then no probs at all and I use a drag drop system with syncing media although the 1st time I transfered my itunes songs(1922 tunes) I converted them all to mp3 and put the sdcard into an adaptor to speed up the transfer.
My 64gb ExtSd is working fine the problem is when trying to move apps to it with programs like Move2sd and the like. Then it says that the my Internal memory. Is NOT REAL BUT EMULATED

I am having great problems with a 64gb Class 10 card. If the data is copied to the disk before being inserted in the phone it registers as a damaged card.
However if you clear all the data via the PC then insert the blank disk it is recognised normally. You can then transfer the same data via a USB link from the PC via the MTP application. You may well have to load the Samsung USB drivers.
Sadly if you restart the phone it immediately reverts to the damaged card error message and you have to go all through the same procedure again. No ideal.
Hello.
I 've been reading a lot of (bad) stories with micro sd incompatibilities.
Since i want to use mine as internal storage, i want to be certain that it will work
I am between samsung (the new red pro ones,20mb/sec) and the new toshiba excesior ones (30mb/sec write, 2016 model).
Anyone had any luck with these?
Should they be ntfs formatted when inserted in the tablet?
Thanks in advance.
Hi vadergr,
i tested some different sd cards twoe 64 gb class 10 cards (samsung and lexar), they are verry slow for me. So i decided to buy a sandisk microSD extreme Pro with 64 gb but hab no luck with it, because the card was dead on arrival. So i went to my tech store and by a 128gb Sandisk Ultra, an now i'm fine with it. Fast reading speed (44mb/s) and solid write speed (23mb/s). All in all its ok and the tablet runs verry well with it. I run on Android 7 nougat and use the SD as internal storage.
128gb Sandisk Ultra
Greetings
ShrekDTH
I used Memento EXpert 128GB from memorette. I tested it out on PC, make a full read/ write to make sure it has got full capacity and then insert into the tablet. One interesting thing is the tablet recognized the card as Lexar Media (which is quite reputable). I formatted it as the internal storage.
So far, apart from heating up during game-plays, it is quite stable.

I had issues with mine set up as internal storage after i went past 128GB of data on it. went back to my Samsung 128GB Pro microSDXC and worked like a champ. the 256 works well as external storage. I did notice longer boot times with the more data i added to the micro sd card. i opted to stay away from internal storage for now.
