I just bought a MicroSD Card with 8GB. (SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC)
The Card works just fine when saving Data on it and it is formated in FAT32. Well, everythings fine until I play music and decide to stop the playback...
When I do so, the music player will refuse to read any data (including the song it just played) and other programs like Doggcatcher (failing downloads with I/O Error) and camera (can't find the SD Card) will fail.
I tried various ROMs like Vanillaeclair, rooted original ROM and Modaco, it's always the same.
The card has been changed by the shop I bought it from but the problem persists with the new one aswell.
A 2GB SanDisk works just fine...
Any ideas?
I made a disk check with Win7 and everything seems fine with the card.
Since I tried numerous Roms of 1.5 and 2.1 origin I was wondering if the Recovery Image may have a problem. I've installed the AmonRa Recovery (think its the newest 1.6.2)?
Hi,
Running CM7 on my Galaxy SII.
I was running the 'stable' version of CM7 but decided to give the the 'experimental' version a try.
Now, it looks as if the paths to the external and internal SD cards are switched. For example, when I open my gallery, it only recognizes pics on my external card.
Of course I made a Nandroid backup before I flashed to experimental, so everything is back to normal now, but I'm just curious as to what might cause this, and how to solve it.
Any ideas?
Hello guys,
I've rooted my AT&T LG Optimus G (E970) yesterday, and also unlocked the Boot Loader and flashed the ROM from SnowJB v1.1, v1.1 All of this to make Sygic Navigation (with cached maps from TomTom) work before a foreign business trip. The whole thing installed seamlessly and seem to be working fine (have just got it running for 24 hours so far). Another big THANK YOU for deleted LG bloatware!
BUT this is the problem I've come across and was even able to double-check at the local RadioShack: This flashed ROM doesn't support 64GB MicroSD cards, while the original, stock AT&T with Android 4.0.4 did it without problems. Here's the detailed description:
1. I've purchased an SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQUA-064G-U46A from Amazon.com, inserted it into the original phone with its Stock ROM, and did not do anything beyond it. The phone quickly recognized the card, and I could work with it without problems for days.
2. I had to switch to the original 16GB MicroSD card when installing CWM Recovery tool, because the installer simply couldn't read the original installation file from a 64GB MicroSD - it showed that the card is empty. And yes, I unmounted each card properly each time I was extracting it.
3. After flashing the ROM successfully I tried to replace the 16GB MicroSD with my original 64GB one. The device seemed to see the card, and then switched to the permanent, never-ending mode of checking the card. The message was smth. like: Checking USB Device for errors. I waited for several hours and interrupted the process. This was purely related to this 64GB MicroSD card, because everything else was working well, including the 16GB card and the flashed ROM itself.
4. I've reformatted the card in my tablet, but this didn't help either.
5. Trying to make sure that it was not a particular card (or some operation) to blame, but rather its size, and also because 16GB is just too small, and I started regretting about the whole ROM-flashing procedure in the first place, I went to the nearest RadioShack that had both SanDisk Ultra 32GB and 64GB MicroSD cards in stock. There I purchased the 64GB one and inserted it into the phone. As one might remember, with the stock 4.0.4 AT&T ROM it worked instantaneously.
Well, this time it was somewhat different: The device started checking the "USB device" for errors, but it ended soon, and then it said that the card is ready to be used! BUT it still stayed in an UNMOUNTED state, and the phone couldn't mount the card anyway. Tried it several times, shutting down the phone and inserting the card while it was off, etc. Then I returned the card and purchased an absolutely similar, Class 10 32GB MicroSD card. The whole thing worked like a breeze immediately, and it's in my phone as I am writing this.
The whole experiment with a clean, factory-formatted 64GB MicroSD has completely proved that this ROM, while very good and seemingly stable, has a problem with 64GB MicroSD cards. Help would be appreciated, but I am afraid it's the ROM that needs to be changed...
Kind regards,
Leo

Yes, it does seem to have issues. Some people are able to use it just fine, while it doesn't work at all for others. I don't have a 64gb sdcard for testing, and have been really busy lately, but It's on my todo list. My theory is that it is caused by it being detected as usb storage instead of a sdcard, but if that is it, I am not sure if I will be able to fix it.
Just format your card to fat32 (Google 'format microsd fat32') and it will work

This thread is titled poorly. It would work fine if it weren't using exfat file system.

Tried with FAT32 - still doesn't work
Well, I tried formatting the 64GB card using the HP utility, so I also tried FAT32 formatting. Still doesn't work, while it worked perfectly under the stock 4.0.4 ROM

Use THIS program and it will work. I have SnowJB, this exact MicroSD card, and it works PERFECTLY.
Good to see another ace user pop up in lgog land

Yes, it's all about the FORMATTING tool for 64GB MicroSDXC cards

Hello everybody,
My system administrator has taken a lot of interest in the case, and he verified that even when formatted using the FAT32 format my 64GB Micro-SDXC card does not always work. It all depends on the tool.
Namely:
1. It did NOT work out of the box, pre-formatted, as I've written earlier - my very own experience at RadioShack.
2. It did NOT work after formatting with the HP tool, and a couple of others.
3. It started working perfectly (and is mounted extremely quickly) when the EaseUS® Partition Master 9.2.1 Home Edition - Free was used to format it (FAT32, of course). My sysadmin had to delete the partitions created originally or by other tools, and then he re-created the primary partition and formatted the card. After that it worked perfectly in my phone, so my earlier concern that the problem is somehow related to the custom ROM was wrong.
4. Interestingly enough, this card even started working at full capacity in the guy's Samsung Galaxy Tablet that is NOT designed to accommodate more than 32GB officially...
I have a Sandisk 64Gb MicroSDHC card. I've been using it for sometime on Android and. I've used Android to format it but never to partition it. I've also used Android to wipe data on the card. I've formatted it varous times again on Ubuntu.
The card was working fine but today, I decided to format and clear all the data on it. Much to my dismay, after when plugging in the card and formatting it, Windows read it to have only 27.8 GB space even though it was empty. Ubuntu also showed 27.48 GB only.
I've not much problems with the card on Android and Ubuntu but today, this serious problem occured. Just how does a 64GB card reduce to 27.48GB? I've formatted the card to FAT32 and EXT4 multiple times to no avail with GParted.
Previously, some time ago, I've formatted the card to FAT32 and because the computer, I forgot if it was Windows or Ubuntu and because the computer read it as having 30GB space, named the card 32GB Volume or something like that (The name has long since changed to one of my choosing). However, Ubuntu still read the card as having 64GB of space and filling it up with more than 30GB worked just fine.
What happened? How do I resolve this? I need the card to work on both Ubuntu and Android.
This is my card. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V7WIA2 Based on reviews alone, it seems to be very good quality. I've used the card on Ubuntu, and Motorola Defy (Android), and the Motorola Xoom (Also Android). Both Android and Ubuntu have worked with the card just fine except for one thing Occasionally, when copying files to or from the card, I get an error message. Sorry but I don't recall what the message said.
I have an Xperia Ray with a broken SIM reader that I wanted to reuse as a media player.
The bootloader is unlocked and it is currently running AOKP Kitkat.
Everything was working well with a PNY 64GB Class 10 microSD but when I transferred exactly the same files (about 50GB of music) onto a Sandisk 128GB Class 10 microSD the device is so slow it is unusable. If the Sandisk card is blank then the problem doesn't occur. Both cards were formatted in the device and are working without problems (full and blank) in other Android phones.
Is this an issue with Kitkat or the device being too old to properly use the card? I have already tried the unofficial Marshmallow ROM but once the microSD is inside, you cant take it out to put files on it and I had a really unstable USB connection so I couldn't use that method either.
How can I get the larger card working smoothly in the Ray?
Thanks
