I just got a 512 Sd card and my XDA doesn't recognise it.
I also have a 256 card which works fine.
I am thinking maybe I need to flash the ROM but am a little scared of doing so.
The card is working in other devices.
TIA
Jamie
Same result here. Anybody know what's wrong?
does a flash reader for pc work with the sd ?
format as fat16 or fat32 ?
The Billionton 512mb SD card works fine everywhere else (my desktop, laptops, camera, ipaq 1940 pda, eten p300 pocketpc phone).
re: "does a flash reader for pc work with the sd ? format as fat16 or fat32 ?"
hey mate,
normally i reformat my 512 sd card via the sd-card reader (usb) through my laptop. i once formatted using fat16 and fat 32; i found out that the sd card's memory seemd to be restricted; i could only save files or use up to 300-plus mb. i then tried formatting using the ntfs format and my xda2 didn't recognize the card. i then tried using FAT format and the memory usage went up to 480-plus. i use sandisk by the way, not sure if this is the same as the sd card you have. but i do know that you can't use the entire 512 mb; something to do with the security or the card's internal program to retain files.
2 cents worth

Question
Support a Sony Tablet S - SGPT 112 DE/S 32Gig an SDXC 64gig SDCard
I have Purchased a Sandisk Ultra SDXC 1 64Gig Class 10 30Mbs
It not Work. The Tablet say. Please Insert a Storage Card. Format with FAT32 not help. With the SDXC Card inside, after boot the SDCARD Internal Memory is not Show Anymore.
Is the Card incomatible or generally SDXC
what version of android do you have now? You need ICS release 6 for sdxc support!
I may be mistaken, but I recall support for SDXC memory cards formatted exFAT was first provided with the 4.0.3 release 6b firmware update. However, SDXC memory cards formatted FAT32 can be used with earlier versions of firmware.
My Tab have
Android 4.0.3 realeae 1a
Kernel 2.6.39.4
Rooted.
Format as FAT32 not help. The Tablet Say Insert a SDCard. SDCARD Memory is gone.
Another
Format as NTFS with the Paragon NTFS & HFS+ APP not Work. Same issue.

We are talking about 2 different tabs here. R6b is newer Xperia tab s... R1a is original tab...
All you have right about sdxc ExFat format. Look at your sony site there is an info/statement about sdxc. Check, its there where are news about update . These sdxc formated are incompatible with sgpt 111/112/ 113 NOW . Maybe in future will be comp - who knows . I didnt check xts statement.
...but koto u can change sdcard format to Fat32 and you will have working with tab card.
I personally have same card as you but microsdxc 64GB with sd adapter. I resolved this problem by formatting it with my android phone (lt18i .4.0.3) .Exfat changed to Fat32. You can format it also via PC tool ( my case : I formatted my card first on PC win xp and after I have 32Gb card instead of 64. After that read somewhere that some OS ( windows generally) have restriction of reading Fat format to 32gb - but it doesnt mean that it cant read it. ) . Linux should read and be able to format to fat32 >32gb sd . Search 3 rd party app for pc to formatt.
Btw i have 4.0.3r5a,I can confirmed this card working also on ( 4.0.3.r5 ,4.0.3r1)
koto99 why you want to have ExFat formatted one ? transfer >5gb?You can also plug external hdd with ntfs and drive mount app with rooted tablet. Drive must have external dc to give own power supply.

Can your PC read and write the FAT32-formatted card?
With right click on it, what do you see in Properties (Eigenschaften)?
Yes Windows 7 64 Bit can Read an Write FAT32 SDCard. Card work on PC Perfect.

Strange...
Under Windows it looks good. Then only people who have personally experienced the case can help you. Sorry!
I pushed question about it to sandisk support. I ' ll post what they answered after I receive it.
Btw. read in support about sony nex-7 and sdxc. When formatted in camera windows 7 (which is compatible with exFat) sees as unsupported. When card is windows 7 formatted nex-7 sees as unsupported.
Btw1 about screen at #11 I see used space at 64.0KB. I experimented sth.After I formatted card the used space were same as I set in format tool in cluster size option. I tested this with easeus. Set to 8.0KB cluster size- after format used space was 8.0KB. If this screen is shortly after format you may set in format opt 64.0KB cluster.Did you try 32KB cluster? My Lt18i formatted my microSDXC as 32 KB cluster size and have active/ primary in easeus option.

Tablet not See the Card.
EaseUS Partition Master 9.2.1 Home Edition not See any SDCard. Format impossibel. (Windows)
As I promised here is an answer from sandisk technical support. Maybe some info there is obvious. I want to post state of manufacturer. In my mail I asked if sdcard can be damaged permanently by formatting it to fat32 and consequences about that (in my sgpt111). Also asked about tool app to format inside tablet( most tablets don't have that option). Check the tech repply esp "the only consequence".
Dear Customer,
Thank you for emailing SanDisk Technical Support. It is our goal to make sure you have all the resources you need to get the most from your product.
I understand that in exFAT, the 64GB microSDXC card is not detected by your Sony tablet. This is because the tablet doesn't support exFAT. After formatting the card in FAT32, the card seems to be working fine in the tablet and shows the full capacity.
The only consequence you may experience by doing this is that you won't be able to add any files larger than 4GB, due to the FAT32 limitation.
Transferring a 4GB or larger file to a USB flash drive or memory card http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/289/kw/4GB
You will be able to format the card back to exFAT, if your operating system also supports exFAT: Operating Systems that Support the exFAT File System http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3389/kw/exfat
If I understand correctly, you would like to know also if there is a difference between the microSDXC card and the SDXC card. There is indeed a physical difference between both cards:
- microSDXC: SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card for mobile devices www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-for-android/?capacity=64GB
- SDXC: SanDisk Ultra SDXC UHS-I Card www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/sd/ultra-uhs-1-class10-30mbs/?capacity=64GB
Regarding your question about the format option tool for the tablet, there currently are no development plans on this. You may keep an eye on the SanDisk webpage to see if there would be any plans on this.

I have a 16gb Sandisk micro SD card which is readable by my computer under Windows 7 OS. I can’t format the memory card either on my computer. It only shows me the file type of the card is raw. Under Disk Management, the only option for the card is formatting. But the format process always failed in the end. How can I format my micro SD card to fat32 on my Windows 7 computer?
:crying:

download this tool and format your sd card link

I had had a SanDisc 32 GB class 10 and everything was ok, until the time in which I needed more than 30GB in my HTC Desire X. So, I decided to buy the Kingston microSD 64 GB class 10. Even though our phone has official limit at 32 GB, after googling I noticed that I would not have problem with this card. So I bought it.
From the begin I had a few problems. Very often, about 2-3 times every day, it was required to unmount - mount the card for reading some files or for renaming them.
... it was not big problem for me. But from yesterday, I cannot have access to the sd. I see a message Damaged SD card, SD card is damaged, try reformatting it. And if I try reformatting it, nothing happens. Also in settings - storage I cannot mount the card, and I just see that SD card is unavailable...
What I have to do now? To try a format from windows 7? If so, what format? Fat32, ntfs or something else?
Maybe it is better to use the warranty?
Thank you in advance...
For sdcard, try to format to fat32 (should work either using gparted or windows format tools).
try to format your sdcard with the offical tool from the sdcard association:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
if you wanna format your sdcard the right way, THIS IS THE TOOL TO GO!
The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards
if you still have problems, try to get a replacement from your dealer or sandisk directly.
if that doesnt help, try a different brand like kingston, samsung, etc....
