Just bought a new 64GB sd card to put in my Galaxy S4. Do I need to do anything to the sd card before using it (e.g., format it)?
Plug and play. Nothing extra needed.

Anyone have any issues with your SD card from your previous device not showing the files that are on it?
I know they are there because the card says 3 gigs free of 14....came from my Fascinate.

It could be formatting issues with the Sd card. Also sometimes Sd cards won't work going from one device to the other. Try transferring/backing up your files from the Sd card to your computer than reformat the Sd card, transfer you're backed up files to the freshly formatted Sd card. Finally put the Sd card back into your phone and you should be able to access your files.

and when you reformat the sd card(after saving to pc 1st), format to fat32 w/ active partition manager. not sure if youre rooted yet but this helps w/ cwm recovery. the exfat file system from windows and format sdcard feature w/ the phone gave me trouble.

If you saw my other post,its similar to this one? My question though is by default,what partition are SD cards set at? I had read thru other website searches,that it was exFAT? If that were the case than my android phone wouldn't recognize a brand new 16gb class 4 sdcard right? Than in which case I would have to format the card to a fat32 format?
If this helps,my ps3 also doesn't recognize the 16gb card but it does recognize the 8gb...I remember formatting the 8gb one to fat32 which by process of elimination makes me assume the 16gb card is on a format incompatible with my android phone/ps3...
Which software would y'all use to partition the entire 16gb card? I can't use my phone as my phone doesn't even recognize the card. As a matter of fact while in recovery it tells me there's an error in mounting

You need to format as Fat32.

I am attaching a very basic Windows tool to format SD cards to FAT32, simple!
Is it possible that this sdcard came with a different partition that's inconsistent with both android and my ps3...ohh and I haven't ruled out the possibility of having a problem with the sdcard slot. I've had problems with the 8gb one working but its working fine now. They are two different manufacturers with these cards....maybe this 16gb card isn't partitioned with fat32....

Well I'm at finding solutions I have a problem with xda premiums default image upload application. I get an error message anytime I try to upload a screenshot...it tells me that I need to upgrade application from respective app store. This kind of error only happens when I select tapatalk hosted forum,any solutions?
So I reformatted my SD card to ext so I could root (or whatever one is needed to root). But I seems to always have a Damaged SD Card error up top. What do I do to fix this issue. Running a stock Rom on VZW....What should my card be formatted as. Its a ScanDisk Ultra 32GB card....
Try formatting it on a pc and/or your phone. If that doesn't work, you might have a dead card.

Hi,
1. I have a problem with my files. It became corrupted (but not all of them) when copied from internal SD to external SD. There isn't any problem with my old 2GB SD card.
I'm using ES File Explorer to copy them to the external SD Card. Yes, the phone supports up to 32GB microSD card.
Details:
Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300
Stock 2.3.6 firmware DXLK1 rooted.
Sandisk 32GB microSD Class 4
2. Sorry, but is it true that Sony phones that are purchased from carriers have a non-unlockable bootloader?

Love doesn't need any reason.
1: Sony phones have an issue with MTP IMHO. This, in turn, can affect copying files from internal to external and vice versa. Copy to computer first.
2: Yes but you can pay to get it unlocked at phoneunlockserver dot com.
3: It's frowned upon to bump your threads repeatedly.
