I've selected only the first option (new files on SD card will be encrypted) and let it sit over night. The "Wait until SD card encryption is completed" Continue button is still greyed-out. Is that normal?
That is a question for your carrier.

A question for the carrier? How so? Isn't the GS3 doing the encrypting? This is for local storage no?
Good question. I'm sure it depends on the card read wrote speed. I didn't do my 16 gig cuz the phone advised me it might take a while. Anyone encrypt their? How long did it take? What size card?

Damn. That's crazy
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Going on day 3. Something has to be wrong. Anyone else done any other SD card encrypting?
Touch the card and feel if its getting hot. Ive noticed with these micro SD cards (and probably all mem cards) that when you do a lot of read/writes, like your doing right now to encrypt it, the cards get real hot, once they get hot enough the card effectively stops working.
I hate to say this but probably on day 1 your card stopped working and its been frozen ever since (well actually overheating would be a better term). Its probably not dead though, Ive had some cards get mighty hot to the touch, enough to burn but they kept on working, so I would't worry about that too much.
I would't encrypt the card honestly. I like to keep my cards from being written to too many times to a minimum as much as possible...

Hey guys my buddy gave me a 16gb micro sd from his droid x. I guess something happens with those things and corrupts the sd card. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys knew a way to fix sd cards so I could use it in my atrix. Thanks!

You can get a USB adaptor ($2 - $5) that turns any SD card into a thumb drive. Then just plug it into an available usb port in your computer and reformat the card. Should work unless there's actual physical damage to the card.
I've found that there's an added bonus in that it's faster to move stuff (photos, movies, etc) to & from the card when I have a full-size laptop screen, mouse and file manager to work with.
Awesome guys. I think ill try the usb method and if that doesn't work im guessing ill be going to Wolly world!
Thanks guys!

Hi, i know you didn't have any files on the sd card you needed but I thought I would mention this software for anyone who recently went through what I did. My girlfriend came to me upset that her card suddenly had no photos on it, so I googled corrupted sd card and it came up with some opensource software called testdisk/photorec. It found almost all the pictures and made me look good...

The Titanium Backup(s) should work fine...but it does depend on each individual app and if it is compatible with your new SGSII. In general, Titanium Backup works on the SGSII. I wouldn't recommend "restoring" system apps from your Inspire, however. That may cause issues.
I seem to remember seeing a video of a 64gb SD card being properly read and used on a GSII.

And I have read that the SGS2 "officially" supports SD cards up to 32GB...so it sounds as though the OP would be OK with the 32GB card. Frankly I'm surprised such an advanced phone doesn't support cards even bigger than 32GB.

Actually, as soon as you put the card in your phone, a message pops up stating "All Your Base Are Belong To Us - HTC".
Only joking, you won't have any issues whatsoever whether it be the phone recognizing the card or your titanium backups. Obviously, you already know about having the phone detect the location of your backups. That would be the only thing to take into account. As someone stated earlier, make sure you don't restore any system apps because that can cause issues. Also, you don't want to replace any apps that are on the phone with your backups because that can cause issues as well.
All in all, you should be safe for whatever you are trying to do.
Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of Galaxy S.
I just moved my Micro SD card from my Inspire to my Galaxy. The card already had backups, titanium backups, apps, music, etc. All read on the S2 with no issues what so ever. I had it loaded to nearly 25 gigs and it took a matter of seconds for my phone to scan it.
I was swapping out batteries and wasn't paying that close attention and something snapped. The freaking SD card broke in the phone. I have half an SD card in the phone that I am unable to bring out. And the phone doesn't recognize the card anymore either.
Any ideas on what to do now? This sucks balls. Anybody have any experience getting at the card area?
Someone mentioned in another thread to try to use a safety pin to slide the card out.

i just did that and now I get no SIM card inserted, **** don't know what I played with
yeah i noticed too how far the sd card sticks out.
yeah so opening up the phone was a snap, pretty easy, but in the process of dislodging the card from the behind, I probably messed up the connection so now the phone won't recognize the card.
Not a big deal, I feel like I have a Galaxy Nexus now.
so instead of 16 gb you only got 8 gb left???
So randomly this morning I'm using the phone and all of a sudden I see a mounting SD card. So it works now.
Keep the hope alive.

My question is: How can i get the original 32gb capacity back, i don't care about the files saved on it.
Looked around on google a lot, seems like there isn't much hope...
Here's what happend: i did the wiretrick but got the arrow screen, i had already replaced the 2gb card (which i used with the wiretrick) with my original 32gb, then it formatted everything to recover the state it was in before the wiretrick. This caused my 32gb sd card to be formatted to 2gb..
If someone has a solution, i will be grateful!

Yes, but it didn't work..
I am able to recover my photo's video and music with a program called 'Steller Phoenix Photo Recovery', but there's no option to format or anything.
That's the weird thing, multiple programs tell me it is 32gb, yet it can only write the 2gb..

Yeah, i had the 2gb in it whilst doing it, but i made a big mistake by putting in my normal 32gb card whilst restoring...
Im trying the mini partion tool as we speak!
Where did you buy your 32GB SD card? I've seen articles about people buying what were supposed to be 32GB capacity cards on eBay and they turned out to be smaller capacity cards (often 2GB) that were somehow formatted to look like higher capacity cards.
I've done the wire trick twice and didn't have any problems reformatting a card that got corrupted on a PC, but I usually buy my SD cards from Amazon or a local source.
ramjet73
It had 32gb in it when i bought it in a store. I don´t like buying online for some reason.
anyway, i fixed the problem!
What i did:
I recovered my files with a program you can easily find online (search top 5 sd card recovery tools), afterwards i formatted my sd card, didn't change a thing. Then i ran into a program called EaseUS Partition manager, this program allows you to 'merge partitions' on your sd card for free.
This basically formatted the part of the sd card that couldn't be used and merged it with the 2gb that could, now i've got the whole 32gb back.
Anyway: thanks everyone!
Any partition tool will merge partitions. Gparted, minitool, windows. Only caveat is winblows refuses to work with ext formatted partitions.

With mini partition tool thats only in the paid version..

Has anyone ran into a issue with their sdcard and their Note2?
Last night I used my Note2 with no issues. Woke up this morning and noticed I had a alert message saying that the sdcard had been unexpectedly unmounted. Couldnt get the sdcard to remount. The phone wouldn't/couldnt reconize thw sdcard. And even my laptop couldn't reconize it. But the phone reconized a different sdcard, so I know the phone reader is still working. But this is a Lexar 64gb class 10 xc sdcard. Not some cheap trash. I lost my nandroid backups, movies, pics, etc....
Just glad I wasn't running the Jellybeans v18 on the sdcard swap selection. Then I wouldn't be able to use my phone period. Lmk if you have seen these sdcards go out before. Just beware!!!

What he's referring to is JellyBeans additional "SD Swap" feature which basically makes your phone see your SD Card as the internal storage. I don't know why he thinks his phone wouldn't work though, as with any phone the Internal Storage/SD Card is not required for the device to operate.

I've ran into this issue with Lexar jump drives and had to use command prompt in W7 to make them work again. It always happened when I would write a Linux distro to the drive to use as a bootable disk.
The fix requires you completely wiping the drive, which the two jump drives in question that I always have issues with are actually micro SD card readers with whatever size card in them.
Here is the link explaining how to fix it:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/219693/unable-to-format-usb-stick-to-full-capacity/
What I have to do though is select the disk drive and once in it I have to use the Create Partition Primary command instead of selecting a partition because on my drives there are no partitions and it won't even show up under Computer most of the time. Give it a shot and see if it gets you back up and running, if not you may have a faulty card that Lexar needs to replace.
