Format it from your phone not with a computer

It can't be formatted when its not being recognized...even my ps3 isn't recognizing it...when I go into recovery and try to do anything I get an error in mounting card..which makes me think I have to change the cards partition from whatever it is now to fat32

did you tried another kernel to see if it has some problems
for me on few kernels on ics and gb the sd card made me few problems and my sd card is with 32 gb class 4 and is new so i tried some other kernels to see if it works and worked i had this problem sometimes on gb with djnoxd's kernel

Supposedly 32gb class 10 is supported. My 8gb class 6 works well. If your PC can't recognize it you may have a bad sd

I just bought this sdcard....its literally not even 4 hours old...I'm on stock kernel so I'll try the kernel switches and see what it does
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

after flashing the new kernel don't forget to format sd card in settings

Well let's hope the phone would recognize the card while in cwm recovery...it can't format a card if it doesn't detect it

I'm assuming the 16gb card I just purchased is a class 4
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

look on your sd card for a "c" letter with 4 in middle and look if you see the symbol

Yep its a class 4
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

Even with the 8gb card..I sometimes had problems...I'd boot in to recovery and try to flash a zip and that error of not being able to mount would be there so I'd have to take the battery out and the card,blow the card and slot place than reboot into recovery and then it would work

Its annoying, this phone supposedly supports up to 32gb...it should be as easy as popping out the old one to replace a better one
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

maybe your slot card is damaged

If that were the case,than I wouldn't be able to use the 8gb card either...I think the 16gb card comes pre formatted on an exFAT partition and in order for any android phone to recognize it. It needs to be fat32 format...I also have problems detecting the 16gb card with the xmb of ps3...ps3 only recognizes fat32....if all of this is the case I need a good partitioning windows program. .this 16gb card is a brand new card
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

Well...
I really think that the problem is with your sd card slot, because if you are saying that you had problems with the 8gb and the 16gb, also im telling you this because on my phone i tried a lot of sd cards, and i didn't have any trouble...
Also, my brand new sd card 16gb class 4, i didn't have to format it, i just put it on the phone, it was already formated fat32

Anybody with mtd based room have any luck with 32GB memory cards?

I've read many posts about people with sd card problems, but my question is a little bit different. I have not had any problems until I decided to upgrade to a 32GB card. my new sd card works fine on the touchwiz based stuff, but won't mount on any mtd based ROM at all. So if anyone does have a working 32GB sd card on an mtd ROM, I'd like to know the brand and class rating.

Mine works fine. I have a class 4 Sandisk MicroSDHC
Hmm, then i'm at a loss since that's the brand and class rating of my 32GB card as well.

I have a 16gb pny class 10 and it is working great with no issues. Although my stock 16gb san disk would have those problems. I would have to keep pulling it out or reformat it every other reboot...but it works fine in TW roms.
I've actually gone through two 32 GB cards both sandisk class 4. The first one I think had a overheating issue, one day I look at my phone and it says the SD card could not be recognized... Put it into 3 different computers/readers and nothing would recognize it at all... also used R-studio and no dice. Once I got my second one now I'm actually getting issues again with some of my data being erased randomly. Other than these problems it works completely fine in CM7 with Glitch V12. When will I learn to backup my stuff more often

Multiple Storage Partitons

Hello All,
I apologize if there was a thread about this in the past I tried searching but wasn't sure how to exactly word it. I was wondering about sd cards and partitions, I believe that the max size the atrix 4g is 32gb internal. What I was wondering is it possible to take a 64gig card partition it into 2 32gb partitions and have the phone be able to read those separately?
Thanks
Most android devices support 64gb microsd. Feel free to try it, btw is not the internal. Internal is 16gb for all of the device needs, os, webtop, etc and the external, the one you are mentioning.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Well I read like the default specs and it said it supports up to 32gb external but that was written I think before 64gb cards. I'm running cm7 so that may help too. Would just hate to spend the money if I put it in and it only recognizes 32 lol.

Can't mount External SD Card

I've tried my S3 with 3 types of card now, 2gb SanDisk, 16gb Kingston and a 32gb Samsung Ultra Mobile. Each of varying classes.
I have used countless ROMS from stock to CM10 and AOKP/AOSP and I can't get the option to mount my card in the storage menu to highlight.
I have formatted them on my laptop as Fat32 and exFat but neither have worked yet they have worked in other Galaxy handsets.
Can any of you guys think of something I need to do to solve it or is it a case of a faulty phone?
Thanks in advance

If the card works with other GS3 but not yours then it is very high possibility your GS3 is faulty. Send it back to Samsung.

Tried it in different phone's and formatted it again but still didn't work???
The s3's faulty for sure. Get an exchange.
Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and send it back. If I get a chance I'll see if I can get someone to try it in their S3.

i have the same prob
Got my 64GB working
I upgraded from 32GBPNY to 64GB SanDisk. Couldn't mount the 64. Tried many things, but in the end, I formatted the 64 to ExFat because it became damaged and I don't have the fat32 option on my mac. Next I put in the 32, and made sure it was readable and mount/unmounted twice, just to make sure, then I put in my 64. After I saw details (card cap, and available), I went to the dev options and set "protect external SD" to on. Rebooted to Recovery and backed-up to ex sd. Once the back up completed I rebooted, went into the settings / more tab / storage. I am now able to mount and unmount at will. Hope this helps!

I bought it from amazon. Here is the link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WGJYCY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 from Digital Media Source.. They have very good reviews... Now i went to format it on my windows 7 laptop and it said that it was 29,7 gb not 32... Also tested my sd with H2testw and i got an error... I really dont know what to do. The card seems legit from the outside. iIt is a class 4 micro SDHC

Sdcard

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.

I was reading, some people are problems with the scandisk 64gig cards. The card might be dead from what I've read. But don't hold it against me, just passing some info. I haven't ran across this problem.

See I've never experienced any issues with either of my SanDisk 64 GB Class 10 and neither has anyone else I know that owns one. I wonder if they had a bad batch?
I haven't seen anything about other manufacturers 64GB Class 10 cards having issues yet but it is either something to do with Class 10 cards or a bad batch.

I just had a sandisk 32 gig class 10, and a 16 gig both go out on the same day. One in my wife's note 2, the other in my daughters tab2. Neither was recognised in windows completely. I reformatted both, but 16 gig will show blank card on the wife's phone until unmounted remounted. Both less than 6 months old, on the same day. I blame the solar flares, what else can I blame it on?

How do you go about doing this? I have no original paperwork or packaging, just a dead 32GB Sandisk card.
call 1-866-SANDISK (726-3475) and tell them about your problems they will ask for the numbers off the card. They make you send your to them first then when they recieve it they'll send you a new one.
