Anyone using a large car in their s740?
I copied the contents of my 2GB card to a 16GB one, and the phone only recognises it as being 2GB still.
Is there any way of formatting the storage card using the phone?
Or is there a compatibility problem with 16GB cards?
I use a 8 GB card in the Rose and it works well....you hat to format the Storage with FAT 32!
No problem with 16GB on s743. Yes, format FAT 32
I've found the answer to my card problem- yesterday some kind soul went to the effort of sending me this message:
I noticed that you purchased a 'private item' from seller xoldskool. This most likely means you purchased some flash device (drive, card, mp3 player). I purchased several 32GB SDHC cards on ebay and discovered that all were fakes. Mine were actually 2GB or 4GB cards that were hacked to appear as 32GB. My computer reports them as having 32GB, but they really do not. The problem with this is that data will become corrupt and lost.
ALL flash media devices are suspect. Please test your device with the free program H2testw v1.4. Search for and download it.
There is information about this problem at SOSFakeFlash. Again, just search for it.
If yours is a fake give them negative followup to warn other buyers.
I opened a Paypal dispute to get a full refund and notified ebay.
I hope this is helpful to you and you don't lose any data.
Regards,
Annoying that I've been scammed, very glad to the guy who went to the effort of telling me!
I've been getting a lot of errors with my sd card lately, mainly the phone saying is been removed or that it has corrupted data. Anyone else getting these issues?

I was getting those errors occasionally, then the phone got hot and the SD card fried and stopped working. That was the standard 32 GB Sandisk card. I've been through 3 of the standard SD cards on different phones with the same ending result. I'm now using the 32GB ultra card in both my S3 & S4 without any issues at all. It's worth spending the extra $10 per card.

Sandisk micro-SD cards 64Gb has compatibility problems exactly with Samsung Galaxy S4. I had to buy Transcend one. Now it works properly.
A lot of Sandisk 32 and 64Gb cards have issues with both S3's and S4's.
Apparently those manufactured after 12/2012 no longer have this issue, but theres no way to tell their manufacture date.
I use and recommend Samsung cards, and have never had any problems with them.
Yes, they cost a little more, but the stuff I keep on them is irreplaceable, and I couldnt afford to lose 1 days work.
Also I recommend installing SD card monitor from Play.

It will tell you how many times your card has unmounted erroneously.
Cheers.

Okay so awhile back I posted a help thread asking why my 64gb class 10 sandisk microsd card kept dismounting / remounting. Ended up that the card wouldn't read in my phone at all but it would on my computer. I called sandisk and they said it was a Samsung problem (it's not). The Samsung representative told me that sandisk was fully aware that their 32gb / 64gb class 10 cards were malfunctioning on Galaxy S4's causing SD cards to fail, sd readers to fry, and even in extreme cases causing dead batteries/frying your phone. She gave me a direct number for sandisk that directly dealt with this issue and they will replace your card (they have limited life time warranties regardless). The new cards are fixed as it was only a certain batch of cards but if you ever had a random dismount problem or it's a reoccurring problem call sandisk to get your card replaced. Don't believe me, call bs as it wasn't a news worthy droid life or bgr post, I don't care I'm just sharing info that a Samsung representative told me and it may save someone's battery or even worse phone.
TL;DR/B]
32gb / 64gb class 10 Cards cause SD readers, batteries and even phones to fry. Known issue, get a replacement card.

Ugh. My wife has intermittent dismount issues. PM me the number?
This was actually brought up a while ago. Your TLDR is misleading. A while ago sandisk produced a whole lot of 64GB cards prone to failure. Its not that this isn't news worthy, it is just old news. Of course it takes time for stock to clear, and you got one of the bad ones.
I still recommend Samsung UHS over a c10 sanfisk though

Thank s for this info .......
Hey notstevek by the way are you runnig on MDK or MD7 isee that youre running AOKP my favorite rom just wondering how you got it to work thanks...
I hate you all for not having this post on the front page where I could've seen it before I replaced mine lol
One day it dismounted, and I didn't think anything of it. went to use it and it wouldn't work in my phone, so I put it in the computer, and it still wouldn't work. I just assumed it died on me, but maybe it has something to do with this issue. Any chance I could get that number as well? Maybe I can get another, or send this one back and get a replacement or something. It's not the money, it's just the principal of the situation.

Any chance you could share the direct number with those of us with bad cards to save me some time dealing with customer service? I sent you a PM but got no response....

Just call Samsung and tell them the problem (just explain what I posted here) and they'll give you the number.

Confirmed.
I went through 3 Sandisk class 10 64GB cards. They start to mount and dismount, it gradually gets worse then one day they dismount and don't come back. Can't even read them in an external reader on a PC.
When my 3rd one started doing it I just gave up and ordered a Samsung 64GB card which works perfectly. Gave the Sandisk to the wife to use in her S3, works great there.
My wife's GS4 was doing the mounting/dismounting thing with my old 32 GB SanDisk Ultra (class 10) card that worked fine in my Note 2 for a few months before I upgraded to a 64GB card, so I gave her my 32GB card. I kept it in the phone, but just manually dismounted it so she wouldn't see it anymore (good thing I got her a 32GB GS4 so she had plenty of internal storage too), but it would still occasionally freak out when she let the phone die and then booted it back up. But I just installed the 4.3 OTA update today and it seems to be functioning fine now. I haven't seen it spontaneously dismount the card at all in the past few hours and I was able to use it to store pics on from the camera. So maybe this was an issue with the GS4 and not the SD card? Like I said; it worked perfectly in my Note 2 for a few months and I tested/formatted it on my PC several times to ensure it was a good card, but her phone still freaked out with it consistently before the last update. Its only been a few hours so far though, so it could very well start wigging out again, but I'll definitely post back if it does. Also, her GS4 worked fine with some old 16GB cards that we had from previous phones too, so it seems that both the phone and the card were at fault somehow.
This happens to me all the time (I have the 32GB ultra lass 10), every time I unlock my phone it has a notification saying the SD card has been removed or improperly unmounted. I' on 4.3 and it didn't solve the issue.
I hope it's an issue with the card and not the phone, I wouldn't be able to get a replacement since rooting left me on custom status...

its the card.. it does that when they start going bad and eventually will not mount in computer either. I always keep spares around.. with 4 phones and 2 tablets.. at least one per year goes bad.
i had a the sandisk 64gb card you are talking about and it fried after about a month. sandisk was cool about it and sent me a replacement card pretty quickly. i haven't had issues with the replacement card yet.....
I think you all should knkw that the nonhlos modem files are causing this behavior. I just tried upgrading from mdk to mj7 nonhlos file and this exact behavior occured. I confirmed by going back to the mdk nonhlos and everything is fine. This is with a sandisk 64gb

I have also had this issue with my c10 sandisk 64gb. is this issue occurring with cards formatted exfat or just sandisk?

i bought mine recently and havent seen it dismounting so i guess its safe to assume im ok?
I've lost the contents of my SD card three times now with my XT1528. I've tried two different cards (Kingston 16Gb class 6, Samsung 32Gb class 10) and yet I keep losing anything stored on my cards. Have had no problems with other handsets with these same two cards. Thanks to Verizon, my phone is bone stock. I'm thinking my handset has a bad card slot. Opinions?

Also had this problem have you tried formatting it via twrp and through settings (erase sd card) it works for me, for now
I would say it's probably a bad slot. I haven't had any issues with my XT1527 with a 32GB card. I've also had the card in and out and done various custom partitions like fat32+ext4 without any data loss or corruption.

Sadly I have the Verizon variant, I'm not eligible for the unlock program. My bootloader is locked down like a prison, so TWRP isn't an option.
I'm going with the bad slot diagnosis. My handset will have to serve as is until after the holidays, then I can justify replacing it.

have you tried formatting it through system setting? setting>storage>erase sd card, it works for my 32gb strontium, in my case i think it's faulty. Don't forget to back-up your files
I had a 32gb card that was used for ages and i think it got worn out and died.
over time it would disappear on me more and more when inserted in my Moto-E.
I had pulled it from a Galaxy S3 way back..
I used to have it scanned all the time with Kaspersky..
This caused it to get read in full every single time i put it into a PC.
I am suspicious that caused excessive wear and tear on it.
bought a new one but 16gb this time and it's working fine now.
main reason i got it was to put my MP3's on the card.
My old one kept having the music vanish and a prompt would come up asking to format it or it would simply vanish.. only for it to show back up and be fine later after restarting etc.
not sure if this is the same problem as you guys but i figured hey i might as well mention my story
i got tired of trying to reformat it via different methods or using different partition types and i simply gave up tinkering with it and bought a new one.
the new on has not given me a problem once.
Hi I bought a (128gb sandisk SD card) for my pocophone F1, at first the files were transfering fine but when I reached 28gb everything I transfer now just disappears.
I have had this problem before from buying cheap SD cards granted they were unbranded SD cards.
This one was branded and not cheap and was fully packaged.
the only explanation I can think of is it's fake, or could it be my phone, people with the pocophonne f1 were saying that thier files were transfering slow but this bug might have been fixed, as there have been lots of updates for the pocophone F1 since, so if anyone can help much appreciated thanks.
Hi just a little update I bought my SD card from eBay and this was my response from the seller.
Hi thanks for informing me please send the card back and I will refund you and when I go to the warehouse I will tell them I no it’s frustrating this is also happening on amazon apologies for the inconvenience.
To me the seller conceded that the SD card was fake very quickly but that might just be my suspicious mind lol so who can I trust to buy from to get a legitimate SD card thanks.
