I did the OTA update to the latest 7.1.1 build earlier and my 200gb SD card is no longer showing up. When I go to the Storage settings page it crashes when the card is in. Card opens fine on my laptop and Z3 tablet.
Did a factory reset, but it did not fix the problem. Also tried a 128gb card and that doesn't work either. A 64gb card works fine.
Looks like exFAT support is either broken or missing. Licensing issues possibly?
Such a shame as the other issues are all fixed - Play store downloads, Dolby Atmos, WhatsApp freeze all sorted. Camera has RAW output now as well.
But no large SD card support any more!
So hacked off by this.

Had same problem with my 200gb SanDisk but my 128gb still work. Copying 100gb of audiobooks.

I found the 128gb card kind of worked, but then everything started freezing up. The phone becomes totally unusable until I remove the card.

Haven't had that problem yet, fingers crossed. Mind you only got the play store problem this morning

So cross about this. Got an expensive SD card which is now useless. Why has this got broken?
I suspect a licence tussle with Microsoft has forced them to remove exFAT.

Very annoying isn't it. I've had to spent all day choosing, copying and shoehorning data and content from my 200gb card onto a smaller one.
Coupled with all the time wasted recovering from a factory reset that I did out of desperation to see if that would fix this. Weekend blown due to this stupidity from ZTE.
Sent from my ZTE A2017G using Tapatalk
I can confirm this is the case.
My A2017G (bought from Amazon Italy) running 7.1.1 B02 does the exact same thing. I tried a Toshiba 128GB U3 card, a Samsung 256GB and a Samsung 128GB, all cause the phone to start freezing, not recognise the card at all and in settings, as soon as I click storage, it crashes the settings app.
64GB and smaller cards all working fine.
Luckily the play store etc are all back in order now...
My 200GB SD card has stopped working.
Doesn't matter if i format the card with fat32 / exFAT or even complete erase it - the card isn't working and as soon as I click storage, it crashes the settings app.
This must be a bug not a licensing issue because even without any file system, the card isn't detected.
New firmware release, new bug...
No licence = no driver = no kernel detect.
That's my theory anyway!

new updates, new fixes, new bugs, new problems... that's the way to go ZTE... Nice for having such a speedy updates on the latest OS... BUT with more refine + polish would be nice ZTE!

I have a sandisk 64GB sdxc class 10 microsd card in my S3.
However I'm having a lot of issue syncing music to it ( around 40Gb of MP3s ) all theses issues seem to be related to using a 64GB card, as everything works fine with a 32GB one.
I've tried syncing with 2 softwares with similar results (Mediamonkey and windows media player). (MTP)
Basically the initial full sync works, however and re-sync afterward fail for various reasons (hang, mm report as full, report sync failure etc).
Card was formatted internally with the format in the system options.
I bought a 32gb card off a seller on eBay cause it was a ssteal and when I got it the first time it was OK but when i reformatted it it stopped saving my pics. I ended up finding out that the card had a crapload of bad sectors. so i got back in touch with the seller and asked for a refund. he sent out another card, same issue. I eneded up get a refund. might wanna see if there are bad sectors on it..
get an iPhone, NOTe gonna happen
How did you check for bad sector on a microsd?
Other users on mediamonkey forum reporting the same: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=66514&sid=eefac781d2db7377ac5c09936a9b0b18
You should have got an SD adaptor with the card. Just need to plug it into you computer then in my computer right click on the SD card and run error check under the tools menu (windows)

Well seems like the card is good.... I guess there are very few people with a 64GB microsd..
Size DOES matter?
Apparently it does. I found a 4GB MicroSD and tried a Media Monkey playlist sync to the S3 tonight. I set up the MM autosync options per the normal procedures and then ran the autosync. A small test (40 songs, 220MB) worked great. I then added a larger playlist (220 songs, 1.5GB) and it went over as well. Playlists were auto-created on the device and I was able to access & play them w/o incident. Artwork and tags came across just fine in this small test. I haven't tried adding new songs to the playlist and resyncing yet, but will do so.
So where does this leave us? It seems like MM does work on the S3 within the limits of this test. Do we need to look at the 64GB problem as a Samsung issue or an ICS one? I guess we need to look around and see if other apps are having problems with the 64GB MicroSDs. Thoughts?
Are you having the same issue as I do with a 64Gb card?
I've tried with a 32Gb and everything works fine..

@ x-cimo: Yes, we're in the same boat, and on the same S3 thread over at Media Monkey. Dunno if 64GB MicroSD is an issue with all apps on the S3 or what. Hopefully someone else with experience one way or the other with a 64GB card will speak up to cast a little more light on this.

I bought a SanDisk 32Gb MicroSDHC Class 10 (UHS-1) first, but had to return it due to periodic "card disconnected" messages. I've always thought SanDisk is one of the best flash memory brands, but many people reported problems with S4.
Samsung 32GB Pro MicroSDHC (UHS-1) has been working great for me so far.

Hmm alright leaning towards the Samsung...any more feedback?
I pretty much gave up on the 64gb Samsung and stuck in an older 64gb Sandisk & have had no problems (fat32). I formatted the Samsung multiple times in different formats and always ended up with 1) the stock music player unable to use it and/or 2) my recovery (TWRP & CWM) unable to use it. From all I've read I'm in a minority as most seem to have good results with the Samsung cards.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
FWIW, I went with the Samsung just because people were having issues with the SanDisks. And it's was pretty much the best priced one on Amazon. Formatted it to Fat32 and have not had any issues.
Sandisk has identified the problem and has launched a new firmware to fix the compatibility issues their cards have been having with Samsung devices. If you buy a card out of the factory, you will have zero issues. I bought one a while back and was having the "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" issue. They sent me one a few weeks later with the new firmware.
I would go Sandisk just because they are definitely a bigger name in SD cards, and if you experience any problems they will send you a new one no problem.
Update on my Samsung card. Formatted on the phone and all seems fine. Still exFat the way it was shipped - also formatted it exFat using my laptop - but the phone format appears to fix my problems.

Recently jumped on an Amazon deal for a Samsung 64 gb SD card. My PC and Note 3 read it just fine, Z2 wont detect it. Does not show in any file explorers. Tried to mount from the settings several times. Read my previous Sandisk SD card just fine. Any fix for this?

I had the same issue on 2 sdcards bad thing that om my own I didn't make a backup. But om my gf sdcards i did.
Somehow it corrupts the card, after changing it back to our note 2 they were readable one time, after that I couldn't access it anymore. After that I just formated the cards and they both work perfectly on our phones.

I bought a Samsung 32GB Micro SD from Amazon which has been working without fault for little over a month now.
I'd suggest a return and replace.
I had a 32gb Samsung class 10 card in my old GS3, it wouldn't work in the my newer Z2 until I used the Z2 to format it. I did format it with the GS3 just before that got sold so I think the way Samsung does the format is different from the way the Z2 does it.

Hmm guess I'll try this
16gb is not even close to enough space I have 4 games alone that would eat up this space. I bought a 128 gb add in card to give me a total of 144 gb this should be more than enough right? No, every time I try and move something over to the card it unmounts. Verified the card is good on my computer. Tried both exFAT and NTFS with the same issues. Is this a ROM issue? If so Is there a 6.0 I can upgrade to once without having to go to a 5.0 just to redo everything when 6.0 is "official"? Right now this phone is worthless to me until I can get more space on it.
Really disenchanted with this phone after the Oneplus One worked so well a flawlessly.
Same problem here.
Im on stock unrooted 5.1.1 with oxygenos 2.1.3-x.
Hope there is a fix for this problem

Two things I can suggest to make sure it's actually the phone's problem:
1) Try another (ideally lower GB capacity) SD card and see if it does the same thing.
2) Try to format the SD card to FAT32.
I've got a 32GB card and it's formated with FAT32. After 2 hours of checking the problem is still persistent.
The problem is only showing in some cases, if apps try to access the external storage. If I delete stuff with the files application there is no problem. When I add folders to the card there is no problem either and I also can save files on the sd card manually.
Isn't there the probability it's a software fault in the applications with this problem?
I did a 16 and a 32 as well specs say it supports 128gb, same result.
Just did Fat32 as well, same result.
I am seriously thinking this may be a rom issue and I am hoping to hell its not a hardware design issue.

Thanks. I am using the same version and the card really does not seem to be the problem at all. I did card checks on them. I did all the different formats. These cards are all working flawlessly on my computer and in multiple other devices. I just opened a ticket with their support and it says it is 10 days response!!!! If I play around with rom flashing will they still take it back if I can't make these work? 16gb is not something I can live with and at 20+ bucks a pop I don't want to have to go around card searching.

I knew the X only has 16gb. But I assumed, as the specs tell, there is a sd card slot inside, ready to use and that's currently not the case. And the sd card slot was one of the features which led me to buy this phone.
I had the same problem. Are you rooted? If you are, try this. It worked for me. Titanium Backup kept telling me I had insufficient space on my 128gb card, but this fixed it. All it does is make a platform.xml edit.

OnePlus said an OTA is planned for early January with more fixes for SD card and gaming performance improvements, seems just the kind of update you need

card works fine in every other device I tested it in (prolonged testing too).
I will try another card as it may not like this one for some reason !

Honor 5x won't recognize my Samsung Evo 64gb, but my Samsung S4 will.
Tried it in an adapter, but ubuntu cannot access it... Not sure what the issue is yet.
Issue appears 5x is bit fussy on cards, sloppy hardware/firmware !
I got my Kingston changed by retailer & replacement just same yet works in everything else A1 .
I went my Huawei retail store as only 5 minute walk up road in my nearest mall, told them issue & tried card in 2 display handsets & had same issue within 15 minutes of testing. There answer was only use 32gb card :-/ not helpful.
I will be trying a samsung, sandisk & Toshiba card this week from 2 friends so interesting see results.
You get what pay for & seems 5x no exception, it cheap & hardware/firmware also cheap minimal effort .

My phone worked for 5 days, now from yesterday it doesn't recognize the SD (Sandisk 128Gb SDSQUNC-128G-GZFMA), the message ""SD card Error" appears and no one the oher SD I tried works (Sandisk 8Gb, Toshiba 16GB, Sandisk 4Gb & Samsung 2Gb). All this SD have been tried & worked on a Samsung S2.
Don't know what other to try.
On Monday I'll try to give it back to commercial.
Bah !
This most likely won't help or isn't the problem... But the SD will not mount to PC if you don't unlock your phone first.
Meaning, if you ain't looking at your home screen, the PC will not mount the SD card.
Just throwing this out there, as I've panicked over my SD card because of this.
