Your sdcard may be formatted in a unsupported format type
Fat32 is supported by xperias
Ntfs,EXT3/4 is supported by CM11
Fat32/NTFS is supported by aoap

I had to format my Samsung 32GB class 10 card on my Z2 before it recognized it, some phones do the format differently, just use a PC with a card reader to copy your stuff off it then fire it into the Z2 & format it in the storage section of settings.
I will try but it was fine it just suddenly happened! My sd card was working!
who told you samsung sd card is the best?? it is the worst. buy sandisk,lexar or sony sd card next time
Just format it to exfat, it is supporting 64g and above, and it is meant for sdcard/ssd storage
My Samsung pro reads and writes at 90/80mbps. I'd say it's about the best.

My SD card did that once... Samsung 16gb.
I'm not sure if this made it work but this is what I did
Download ParagonNTFS+, run it, grant superuser perms. Then reboot

If the card isn't unmounted before taking it out it will ask for it to be formatted as it won't recognise it. It's a pain with this phone because to put the card all the way in you need to push it in with something like the end of a pen because the slot is deep inside the edge of the phone so that a waterproof flap can go over it. As a consequence it's easy to not quite push it in fully, but far enough for it to get a false read, which will cause it not to be recognised when inserted properly and require formatting.

Also, beware when you're formatting a 64gb SDXC card using a USB reader. The reader itself has to support SDXC otherwise the card will be FUBARed. I accidentally killed my first 64gb card twice that way - thank goodness the shop didn't ask what happened when I requested an exchange.

During the launch presentation it was mentioned that the Galaxy S3 will support MicroSDXC cards with capacity up to 64GB and an exFAT file structure.
However, the manual released on Samsung's UK website states otherwise...
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-I9300ZKABTU-downloads?isManualDownload=true#
Code:
Your device accepts microSD™ or microSDHC™ memory
cards with maximum capacities of 32 GB (depending on the
memory card manufacturer and type).
Code:
Your device supports only the FAT file structure for
memory cards. If you insert a memory card formatted
with a different file structure, your device will ask you
to reformat the memory card.
The manual is from this month (05/2012), Rev. 01
I asked Samsung, but they weren't able to give me an answer.
So, what's the deal?
Nothing is the deal, MicroSDHC and MicroSD"XC" are compatible using the same controller, the only reason why it wouldn't work is if someone went "If >32GB return IMPOSSIBRU;"
We know the s2 deffo doesn't support 64gb but this guy tested it out and it worked..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYUg14u_co8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv_56mwG0w4
These are two videos that show that it works..
Yes, yes it will on both counts.

Got confirmation from Samsung Mobile UK:
The device will support 64GB micro SD. Sorry for any confusion.

If you format the card in the phone, what format will it use? Presumably FAT32. If so, will it be better to format in your computer?
The 64GB cards come formatted exFAT, so no need to format a new card at all (otherwise in computer if the card is already used). Just confirmed I will be getting hands-on an S3 today, will by trying out my exFAT formatted 64GB card in it

Hopefully the guy is OK with me taking video and isn't under some oppressive NDA, if so will shoot a bunch of stuff including the card.
Hi everyone!
So, I did indeed have a couple of hours hands-on time with the S3 today, wanted to let everyone know that exFAT support is present and working, and 64GB cards work fine (if anyone still doubts that they work on all Androids with card slots).
Will have some more info up soon too
Hey guys,
I just got a Sandisk 64GB SDXC card. I popped it in my SGS3 but it tells me that the file system is not recognized.
Any ideas?
Thx

Thanks for the reply. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with my card. My SGS3 cannot mount it, then it asks to format it but that gives errors and ends up saying I can now safely remove it.
I have tried to format it on Windows 7, I can select exFat as the file system but it tells me the capacity is only 30.6 MB. Weird.
You might want to check you got what you thought you were buying, google for H2testw. Plenty of no-what-they-seem-to-be cards about.

Got one in my S3.
Works great .
You definitely need to format the card from the device (S3) before using it. Otherwise you won't see it at all or only half of it.

Question?
Hi guys, i have the 64gb SanDisk sd card... I had formatted it EXFAT using Windows 7. My phone (galaxy s4 gt-i9300) recognizes it, but i dont know what is wrong, cause I cant download files bigger than 4GB... And also my recovery recognizes it. I rooted my phone, but if I check the properties of the sd card on Windows it shows that it is on EXFAT? Should I use a different method to format it?
Thanks in advance
Sgs4 its not gt 9300.

Hi Friends,
I am using Karbonn A9 (Without Rooted) & micro SD Card - 4GB class 4. I can transfer the files fine b/w PC & Card using USB cable. But, now-a-days, the files copied to sd card doesn't appear after usb unplugged from PC.
Also, the files deleted from PC, appears on SD Card, when removed. Please help me.
Have you tried to format your sd card?
I have have never had problems with class 4 sd cards until recently. I have had to buy all class 10 sd card for all of my devices that I have upgraded to ICS/JB. I don't know why, but I started getting all sort of problems flashing, saving, FC's. It was really weird. I didn't realize that it was the sd card until I switched the sd card in my tablet (with was already a class 10) to my phone. With worked fine in my phone, then my tablet started acting crazy.
this happen because u already click fix permission.. don't ever choose fix permission in cwm.. u might getting fc..

Problem with 4GB micro SD Card

Sorry for late reply. Surprisingly, i didn't got email notifications for your posts, so I am unaware of it.
I had done formatting several time in XP, but still the problem persists. Also, Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't work...
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

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?
I have rooted my z2 and the sd card is constantly mounting then unmounting. This is getting really annoying as when trying to watch movies or listen to music it just stops halfway through because it removes the card. has anyone else had this issue? Also i am unable to download the latest android update all it says is unable to verify.
Well if you unlocked your bootloader to root, then you won't be able to update your device through official ways anymore.
I have no idea about your SD card, try backing up its data on your pc and then reformat the card?
Yeah probably have to wait untill some custom roms come out
reformated the card exfat, however everytime trying to copy to the z2 it will copy for a while then it will disconnect meaning i have to start all over again. I dont think i have came across a tablet that is so bad at handling an sd card truly awfull. I hate to think how bad shooting video will be with the card continously mounting then unmounting. Ans no its not an issue with the card because it works perfectly in my pc and galaxy note 10.1
Anyone ??

What if you reformat as fat32 with 4096 bytes cluster size, instead of exfat ?
Have you tried running an error check on the card ?

not possible to format fat32 in windows no more by default. And the issue is any videos etc on the card will be limited to 4gb file size. The Z2
natively uses exfat so why would it keep disconnecting? when i pop the card into my galaxy note 10.1 it doesnt do it so it is clearly an issue with the tablet, but will give it a try
with fat 32

Then I suppose your tablet has a faulty card reader unit. I'm sure you can get it replaced or repaired without any hassle.
I am on my second, stock romantic same issue on both unless it's in its case
tried fat32 and the same thing happens what an utter load of rubbish cant even handle a 64gig card. btw this i my second z2 same thng happened on the first before and after root. Thought i would try sony as never tried their tablet devices before and was impressed by the specs on paper, what a major mistake the worst tablet ive ever used. Im gonna return it and stick with samsung like i always have and ugrade to the new note 2014 edition. Sony Fail!
Well if it's the second one in a row with this issues, I think there must be something you're doing wrong? Or maybe your SD card specs just aren't supported? What are the full specs of your SD card? And is it one of those extreme high-speed cards for (video) cameras? And aside from reformatting it on a pc, did you ever try reformatting it on the tablet itself? This is an issue I've not read of about this tablet before so it kind of puzzles me that you already had it replaced once and immediately have the same issue again.
its a sandisk ultra micro sd card i have formated both on the pc and the tab. Also i formated it as fat32 but after a while being in the tablet it seems to convert it to exfat again. i have also tried different cluster sizes. I have tested this card in my samsung s3 samsung galaxy note 10.1 pc my laptop and have no problems at all so im at a loss

Only idea I have left is for you to try other micro sd cards and see if they cause the same issue.
I think it might be to to with the number of files the tab can handle if i have nothing on the card it doesnt seem to do it but the more files are added it starts to keep unmounting the card and constant rescanning. i have about 3000 mp3s on the card. Its not like its cheap memory its a sandisk 64gb class 10.

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
