format your micro SD card in another phone or one of the market apps or try a did card. Fat 32
Tried that, no luck. Anything else?

Use a different microSD card - does issue still happen? If so, it's probably not the MicroSD card. If not - problem solved, the card is the issue.
Does the other sd have to be inserted permanently or can it just be inserted for flashing only?
also if I format the sd card on CWM is it formating the internal card? or the external card???

You can use it for flashing a rom image only, no need to keep it in the system after applying a update/rom to the a500.
You can also flash a rom from USB key if you have one (FAT32 is a must).

Are you using the mount option in CWM? If so, that's for mounting the SD card on to a connected PC as a disk drive...
If not, and no external SD cards are working for you, you can also use a USB memory stick as mentioned above.
I used another sd card all is well now, last question didnt get an answer for,
In CWM does formating sd card mean formating external or internal sd?

If you need to format your SD card in NTFS & use it with the card reader in your PC, there are no issues.
But, if you want to reuse it in your phone, I suggest you to format it in fat32 for smooth working.
i cannot use my phone as a card reader ?

I didn't say to use your phone as a card reader....use your sd card in a card reader & use.....can't you understand ?
no, i understood perfectly but i currently dont have a sd-extender (the piece you attach to make it full size sd) so i was wondering if i can put my phone into usb mode and let the sd card pass through even though its in a different format

There is no issues to transfer the data. you can put the phone to USB mode to read & write data.
The phone storage will be auto detected on the PC.
but if you want to format do it in fat32, rather than NTFS....
Please guys help me to fix my 16GB memory that always deletes files(some files) inside my memory card.
Everytime I try to format using HP formatter it says 'device is protected'.
Please post some advice to make it work again. I still believe there's a solution.
Thanks in advance!

I dont see anything wrong with the title.
I can format the sd using any other tool except to HP formatter.
And yes everytime i transfer my files from 4GB memory card, after removing from the computer the contains of 16GB are not equally the same as to my 4GB sd. For example i copied my titanium(folder) back up from 4GB and transfer it to 16GB the folder becomes empty when.try restoring. Even my music files are automatically deleted after placing the 16GB to my phone. Thats the situation.
But the other files remain inside.

yes but you must format the card first before it will read.

I think the phone will do whatever is needed. I plugged in my new Sandisk 64GB card into the phone and it recognized it immediately, and mounted it a second or so later. Working great.

i formatted mine before i ever plugged it in.had issues with them not reading in the past so i just do it now to keep from running into problems
thanks guys. can I format it directly on the phone?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
you can as long as the phone reads it if it does not don't worry should work fine once you format via computer..... I have a 64 GB micro in my phone and no issues but formated it on my computer good luck!
There are some kernels that won't recognize the exFAT format that most 64GB cards come with. ExFAT is proprietary from Microsoft. Stock kernels work. I kept having trouble, so I formatted my card to FAT32 on my computer. The only real limitation is FAT32 only allows files up to 4GB.

What should I format it to... The phone recognizes it and then promptly says remove SD card
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Flash a different kernel such as kt's latest or put in your computer and reformat as fat32. I had this same problem and either of these methods will fix.

Are you on the stock ROM or custom ROM? (specifically the kernel)
If you are on the stock ROM, try to insert it into the phone, and if it says "remove sd card", ignore that and instead, mount it (settings, more, storage, scroll to the bottom - mount sd card). It should work after that.
If you are using a different kernel, you will need to find out if it supports exFAT. If not, you may only be able to use as FAT32
