Seems like when I have 64GB microsd inserted my nearby devices seem to be disabled. When I add my 32gb in there I am able to enable the nearby devices. Is anyone else getting the same thing? I'm on the latest BTU stock firmware.

Strange! Never heard anything like that. Try removing your sd card and try again.
Reformat your card and try again.

Actually upon testing. It seems like when I use cf-root, then use titanium backup to restore, it will disable it. Hmm. I wonder which program interferes with it.
same happening to me. Using 64 GB microsd and cannot enable nearby devices option until i clear its cache/data. Very starange!!!
Any workaround other than resetting the phone/reformatting the sd card???

I have the same problem. I have a SanDisk 64 GByte card and nearby devices is disabled since the latest firmware udpate (I9300XXBLG8).
However, when I go to storage options and unmount the SD card, I can activate "nearby devices" without any problems, but only the phones internal storage is shared, even if I reconnect my SD card later on again.
I'm not quite sure if this is really a problem of the size of the SD card or if the problem is related to the files on the SD card. I think "nearby devices" is analyzing the SD card for content to share and somehow fails in this process with the latest firmware.
I have tons of music and videos on the card.
I just figured out, that nearby devices gets enabled after a while, if I only share videos and photos. I have tons of mp3 on my sd card.

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.
I bought SGS3 and 16gb Transcend memory card.
I transferred my data from my nexus s to memory card through windows with memory reader, then I putb memory card in SGS3, but phone was making lots of hanging and removing SD memory unexpected. and it couldn't read it again, so I have formatted it and it happen continuously.
so I gave back the memory card and I bought 32gb Sandisk class 10, but the problem still is there.
after searching in forum I found there is no mass storage usb option with SGS3, but there is PTP and MTP.
when I am transferring data through MTP also , the process stops in between and after that phone cant read data properly.
what is wrong and what should i do?
Upgrade the firmware through Kies if you're on stock or through Odin/CWM otherwise.
Then check if it still applies.

I already upgraded firmware to latest one and the new thing is that just now I Tried an 8gb memory card I copied my data on it and its working perfectly.
what is the problem?
Maybe the contacts on the SD card are dirty, try cleaning them with alcohol (The one in your medecine cabinet, don't waste your good Wodka on it)
Also, make sure it's not exFAT formatted.
No body else has same problem?

First of all, im using a 4.1.2 stock and my device is rooted
So i had an Sandisk 64 GB class 10 for some time which one day became a "read - only" card...
So afterwards i bought a Samsung 32 GB class 10 which I found out also had problems because i could put about 10GB of files and everything more that 10 GB turned into wierd folders that their name starts with "μ" and there where no actual content inside and i couldn't delete them.
So now i'm at my third try, again with a Samsung 32 GB class 10 which also has the same problem, only now i can write on it about 20 GB of data before files start to get curropted.
Just want to say i bought all 3 SD card from Ebay, and though i guess they might be fake (tons of bad luck), after searching the web I found out there are many GS3 users with the same problem...
So i just want to put an end for this question..
Is GS3 frying SD cards? is there something i can do to stop it from destroying SD cards? can i fix somehow the SD cards?
thanks alot!
Hi! when you are asking a question you should include details such as operating system(4.1.2 , 4.3, 4.4, stock, rooted and so on) and file system. I noticed while searching google that the majority of "s3 fried sd cards" so to speak are sandisk and in your case it seams that there is no such "limitation". Maybe if you give more details someone might be able to help.

Well, I edited my post.
you can see the first lines contains the detailes you described.
can't think of any other relevant details.
What type of file system do you have on sd card? is it fat32 or Ext4?

not sure. I formated it with my GS3 and the computer won't recognize it without reformating it.
Worst case scenario is your phone somehow corrupted the sd card and that is that. I had a similar problem with my usb flash drive which i used on-the-go and unmounted it before removing it but when it happened i didn't make a backup(as always) and got stuck with a nice keychain. If you have the possibility to format it under windows with a card reader and choose fat32 at least you have a working sd card, otherwise use your warranty for the sd card(if you have one) and always BACKUP.

but do you think that my device is malfunctuning in a way that will keep frying my SD cards..?
well since this is the second sd card i personally send it on warranty(as hard as it may be without the phone) because it seems that something is not right with the contacts of the card reader circuit board. I read somewhere that on some phones the card reader slot had some contacts partially detached and so the sd card kept getting corrupted. Search a bit on google about this issue and take into consideration using your phone's warranty. Best of luck!
That is a bit strange. Unless you're used to remove the sd card with the phone accesing to it (no safe removing) or removing the battery while the phone is running, that's absolutely not normal.
I have my 32GB sd since 2010 and I never had any problem. I formatted it this year because it had tons of useless data and I liked to have it clean.
Of course it's not from Ebay! That is bulls**t and use to fail suddenly.
I was in ES file explorer trying to move files to my external sd card and all of the sudden I get an error saying task failed. I can't delete or copy anything to my external sd card now. It's a 64 gb Class 10 Sandisk Ultra micro sd card. I formatted it to Fat 32 a long time ago. I don't know what's going on. And now all of a sudden Root browser in Root Explorer doesn't work either. I can't write anything on my phone. I even reverted back to stock android to see if it was the rom problem and that wasn't it either. I'm completely lost in the dark now.
I'm running CM12 Beta on my G3 if that means anything.
Try getting into it via twrp I had a problem like that a while back and I tried twrp and it did work I ended up wiping via twrp. You can also try putting it in your computer and partitioning it. I my self repartitioned it and just deleted the current one and made a new one. It seems that some roms or apps ect can cause the software in the sd card to become corrupted also try mounting and unmounting it before you delete anything.
If you are rooted you need to download SDfix from the play store. It says kit kat but works with 5.0.X fine. SD write access is still limited in lollipop unless the app creator allows SD access. If you were on zv6 on a custom rom it was probably baked in.

Yeah I tried formatting it and everything. The micro sd card is stuck in read only mode. I think it's dead. I put the micro sd card back into my S4 and my S4 couldn't write to it either. I ran CHKDSK on command prompt and it said that there's a corrupt file on the mciro sd card but it can't repair it because the micro sd card is stuck in read only mode. I tried to format it usng the SDFormatter and nothing is working. I used google and people are saying that when a micro sd card goes into read only mode it means that it's about to die. :c sucks cause it was 64gb and I've only had it for a year.
I had 2 SanDisk 64GB cards go bad soon after I formatted them to FAT32. I don't know why, but it happened. SanDisk could not explain it, but they were really good about replacing the cards.

I would contact SanDisk about it but I got the SD card in October of 2013 from BestBuy as a birthday present and I don't have the original packaging or receipt so I don't have proof of purchase so I doubt I'd be able to get the micro sd card replaced.

Chat with SanDisk. IIRC, they didn't ask me for a receipt, just where and when the card was purchased. It has a lifetime warranty, they will replace it and will even send you a free shipping label.
I have the same problem, I was copying files to my external sd card from internal and all of a sudden it said "moving files failed" and then nothing on my sd card would show up, though on storage information it shows that it's mostly full. But all the files are unreachable until I reboot then everything is fine while I'm listening to music, but if I stop for a while or try to move anything it messes up again. Anyone know of a fix?
I'm on lollipop, but the sd fix app would not do anything for me... Running Danvdh's Google Play Edition Rom

I have an ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 (Z500M) tablet that I tried to use with a SanDisk Ultra 128GB MicroSDXC card configured with adoptable storage under android 6.0. It hasn't been a success. I install a ton of games with large obb files from my googleplay account to it, and though it works fine for a time, after a while, I get strange errors and can't write or delete from the MicroSD card or transfer files to it via USB data cable anymore. A reboot fixes it, but only temporarily. I'm thinking it's either bugs in adoptable storage with 6.0 or the size of the card. Anyone have success with a similar setup?
I'd like to try switching over to formatting the Sandisk as external storage, but since my ZenPad 3S 10 can't be rooted, I have no way to run obb files off of it with apps that allow you to do this. Is there any possible way to change the default installation folder of android games and apps to a MicroSDXC card on the ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 (Z500M)? I have this sneaking suspicion that adoptable storage is just not stable and reliable with 128GB microsd cards though I'm open to the idea that it's something else causing this issue
So... I guess it is absolutely, totally, completely and utterly impossible to run Android games and obb files off of a 128GB microSDXC card formatted as portable external SD storage on an unrooted android device under MarshMallow. Not even the best of the best of the most genius android hackers has found a solution apparently. Alas, I have no recourse *insert the saddest emoji face you can find here*

How's this going for you now that Nougat 7.0 is available for the 3S 10?
This is why moat oem removed that option from their devices. The way Android works doesn't really work with apps on sdcards and since Google removed all sdcard code from Android each oem uses their own code and it doesn't always work right.
I can somehow confirm this problem - I'm using a 128GB SanDisk microSD in my Moto G4 Plus (Android 7.0) and it works fine for some time. But occasionally all apps that are installed on the SD card get "corrupted" and force close as soon as you open them. Uninstalling and reinstalling the apps from Play Store solves the problem (reboot / cache wipe / etc. does not in my case). Logcat showed some permission denied errors, so I'm guessing it's a similar problem. Unfortunally it seems like there is almost no discussion about such an issue, if you Google it only stuff like "how to unofficially enable adoptable storage using ADB". Have you tried it with a smaller SD card like 64GB?

No, I haven't. I have heard though that smaller MicroSD cards i.e. 32GB work much more reliably with adoptable storage but haven't tested it myself.
I can confirm that on my s4 mini the adoptable storage runs stable with a 64 GB card - however, I face one nasty issue: after each reboot, the app icons disappear from the launcher. I guess this has to do with too slow mounting of the sd card by the system, however this is annoying. Does anybody have a solution for this? Have LineageOS 14.1 installed.
