I´ve never seen 64GB cards and 32GB extremely rarely now !!!! Please tell us the shop. It´s very interesting !
I think the only way do run a 32GB card is to make a romupdate, Its mostly a software issue.
PS Sorry for my bad english. I make every effort

I'm pretty sure it'll work! Just as long as the SDHC drivers are up to date.
Will this work in a SE X1, I'm assuming the OS has the drivers, yes?

You've likely bought a fake which is a 4Gb formatted to make it look like a 32Gb one. Send it back to eBay.

Exactly. It may say '32gb' on the label, even your computer or phone may show it has 32gb of free space, but it's a fake. And you won't find out until you put more data on it than it can really hold (possibly 4gb or even less).
Ebay + memory cards = dangerous combination. Whenever a new, higher capacity is announced but not available yet, the frauds move in and target those too impatient to wait until legitimate retailers get the real stuff. Beware.

Ummm, no, you can't by 64GB cards, SDHC only supports up to 32GB...
@nelsonong: You've likely bought a fake MicroSD. However, you should try to run a file system error check on the card before you come to any conclusions, as file system errors are often the cause of disappearing MicroSD cards in these devices. If your computer recognizes it when you plug it into your computer, and you're running Windows, simply go to My Computer and right click on your card. Select "Properties", then the "Tools" tab, then choose "Check now..." under "Error Checking", and run the error check with both boxes checked. It may take a long time, and if it doesn't complete, try it with only the first box checked. If your card is genuine and the error check completed successfully, then it should show up just fine on your Blackstone.

Being that it's geniune, it'll successfully write out data to the size it's claimed to be... If it's fake, it'll write data to it's true size and the slowly stop responding and take longer and longer to write data to the card, because of the renamed surfaces that were written to appear as a size that they are not...

Hey Buddies from all over the world....
Flashed WP7 on HD2 with the original SD-Card, which came along with HTC's HD2,
so far, so fine....
Tried the same with my Kingston 8GB SDHC, but WP7 won't be flashed....everything is soooooooooo slow and I have the feeling that the flash process gets stucked...
So, how can i formate this SDHC to be compatible with WP7 ?

Try sdformatter. Then inserted into the phone and do a full reset.
its worth pointing out that there is no "right" SD card that will work, well there is but not using a method other than buy and try.
Even within brands the cards may be different, just because one bloke gets it working doesnt mean you will with yours. I have 2 2GB Sandisk class4 bought on the same day at the same store, identical, one works one doesnt, i hve a 4GB Kingston that wont but the 8GB does.
Its a bit of a lottery im affraid, im sure folk will disagree but from my point of view i wouldnt go spend a fortune on a card that maybe useless, if you dont mind burning money or have another use for it then get whatever but just edge on the side of caution!
try re-formatting your sd card, if problem still happens then it's your sd card and you need a new one.

You're completely right... there's no guarantee that any particular sd card will work. Manufacturers don't rate the random access speed and they don't keep it consistent. One batch of the same may work while another batch made the next day may not work. Sandisk class 2 and 4 seem to most consistently work... no kingston has worked well for me yet, but 7/8 of the sandisk class 2 and 4 cards I've tried has... the one sandisk card that didn't work well was a 16gb class 2, but I have another 16gb class 2 sandisk with same model number that works great.
i cant find it just now, but there is a list somwhere of all the different types of cards over several brands that some chap managed to get, stacks of data for each card, and its shocking what the companies get up to, it "appears" in somecases, main stream branded cards may infact be cheap rip offs, im not talking dodgy Ebay sales here im talking propper branded cards may infact be rebranded tat. for that reason im happy with the card i have, its slightly smaller than i would like but i dont have another use for a large card so im buggered if im going to folk out for a tiny wee paper weight if it doesnt work.

Guys,
Maybe it will be helpfull for smbd as well. I have a Sandisk 2GB card (which was included when I buy the phone) and it was incompatible several times I flashed Windows Phone 7. But when I formatted it with FAT system (not FAT32), looks like this helped - using now several days without any restarts
I've just experienced a weird issue with the SD cards.
So whats happen.
After I started to use Android on my HD2 my 8GB Kingston Class4 SD card just get a bit small. So I decided to buy some bigger one. First I bought a 32GB unbranded micro SD but soon I found that HD won't take that much so I sold it straight away.
Than I've looked around here on XDA and I found that so many guys using 16GB without probs.
So I bought another SD this time 16GB unbranded ( to keep the cost low) Class10 what's probably fastest at the moment.
I backup my old 8GB card ( just copy all content into my comp ). Than copied all content onto new 16GB card and sticked it into HD2. I thought all should work without any probs but it wasn't.
Phone was really slow, unresponsive, many fc.
OK I set its just need to flash the ROM again so I deleted content of .data folder and did a fresh clean flash with all caches wiped. I thought after this it have to be OK but again it wasn't.
So I started to be a bit worried by that time than I decide to buy another 16GB card but this time I spend more and I bought a Kingston 16GB Class4 ( same brand and class like my old 8GB ). That was for sure it will work 100% if my old works fine. And many people using 16GB, also one of my friends got 16GB SanDisk with Jaws MIUI ( I flashed it for him ).
So today I received that new 16GB Kingston Class4.
I did the same again - backup/restore all content and surprise *** NOT GOOD again; slow, unresponsive, fc's
So reinstall again and surprise *** NOT GOOD again; slow, unresponsive, fc's
I've almost rip of all mine hair (I mean the few bits whats still there )
So after all of this I came out with the last chance idea....
To do total wipe - thats included
- delete all data from the card
- flash stock Winmo ROM
- flash latest MAGLDR
- flash latest CWM Rec.
- flash latest Jaws MIUI
.......
.......and surprise *** All is OK, the SD is working just fine, finaly
So weird and I don't understand this.
I know this was probably long reading post but maybe someone have an explanation for this or some one have a same issue like me and can use this like a last help.
Where did you buy the card from? The market is flooded with low quality counterfeits, so always buy good brand from reputable source. I always buy sandisk, and never had a problem.
well normally I buy a Kingston or Sandisk. This was a first time I get unbranded cards but anyway at the and it wasnt caused by card quality cos this Kingston didn't work, only after I've done all that steps all is OK.

I have the same issue with Kingston 8GB Class 4 SD card, it is very slow, unresponsive and sometimes it doesn't come back from lock screen... i have to restart it... right now i am using Scandisk 4GB Class 2 card, it is OK but my phone heats up pretty quickly...
How can i resolve the heating issue... any idea?
Well, Kingston re-brands their SD Cards, so you never know what you're getting. I have a few and you can just pull the "Kingston" labels off to see what the original manufacturer is, and often thats just another rebrand anyway. I'll assume they do the same with their Micro SD cards.
maybe its a fake card
If u want to verify your card genuine or not, go to fake-memory.com,
u can download some tools over there.
your card might be ok today, but once its near full, you will see weird thing happening again, I also bought OEM card. (unbranded)
lucky my "32GB" is really a 1GB, so I spot it early.
Just get refund from seller through ebay.
I would have think about the SD also. But due to the solution you apply, I think now about a corrupted file somewhere. Maybe at a low level of your NAND.
That's just a thought (so maybe not so helpfull).
We play sorcerers with our phone... so I'm not surprized this happens.
I also have a corrupted SD few times. The validation processes are important and I don't think we can do the same as manufacturer on this point.
As the first level loader is never touch we can't brick our phones but this is the price to pay. DO NOT PUT VITAL DATA WITHOUT BACKUP IN YOUR PHONE !

What I meant was where did you buy your kingston from? Kingston cards counterfeited alot. Kingston is also known to sell many low quality or defective cards. Kingston doesn't do any of their own manufacturing... they just rebrand cards, so many times they get bottom of the barrel cards. I won't buy kingston anymore after I did some research. Sandisk actually owns their own factories and create the chips they sell... they probably keep all the good ones for themselves and sell the bad quality or defective ones to kingston. I really don't understand how kingston is known as a good brand-name, because they shouldn't be. Buy sandisk cards from a reputable seller.
I got 3 micro cards
1. adata 16gb class 10
2. pqi 8gb class 6
3. sandisk 8gb class 2
All cards are without any errors and works with WM6 well. Unfortunatelu on Android with ext partition isnt so good.
There is no single rom using ext partition and working well on my class 10 card!!!
On PQI some works ok, some not
And on Sandisk every rum is running without errors.
What's going on? Ported android to HD2 probably is not 100% compatible with HD2 card reader ;-((((
I thought all is OK.well it was a day and now im back to sh*t.phone its slowing down,sometime cant wake up from lock screen or have to wait 30 or more seconds. i dont know whats the problem. looks like i have to sell my card and buy another one.this time i go for Sandisk but 100% genuine. its gona be expensive but what else i can do :-(

Maybe you have tried before...
Why don't you try another build before buying another SD? This at least will cost nothing. Just to be sure.
it seems we're all agree to say that Kingston sucks...
cheers.
I've already tried and its same. Its definitely a card issue.
Damn, I have to buy another one, 4th card in week or twoo
will see, hope die last...

Ok... I'm not so sure If i was supposed to make a new thread or reply to an old one... but If you replaced your MicroSD card, then what kind did you replace the 16gb card with? I put in an older 8GB C4 card and my phone is not working as well as before. It is not responding during sync and it opens applications a bit slower. Every time, after about 5 minutes into the sync operation, it stops responding and I have to reconnect it to my computer, and I fear that it is overcharging the battery.
So just curious, what brand, model (if you have it), size, and class, are you using currently?
SD Cards
Hi Kuree,
The first time I replaced my SD i used a Lexar 16GB Micro SDHC (it has a 4 in a cirlce on it as well). This one worked perfectly, syncing and there were no slow downs what so ever.
The card i have in my surround now is Also a 16GB MicroSDHC (with a 2 circled on it) this card also works perfectly. i'm not sure on the brand name as this one doesn't say it but I'm pretty sure it was a Lexar Mobile version.
I've only used 16GB cards so i can't exactly tell you if the 8GB card is the root of your issues.
Hopefully this helps you out!
If you have any more questions let me know and I'll see if i can answer them.
Take care,
Coockoo
problems....
I guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread. I'm having issues with upgrading to 32g... after hard resetting the phone and setting up time, the phone just gets stucked in "installing apps". It just seats there.
Any suggestions or things I should try??...
Any help will be highly appreciated...
thanks

Hi,
Is "ADATA" micro SDHC 4
They told me (were I bought this) that this card should work.
Now I can't even read or format the SD card....
Thanks!!

I didn't even know the surround had a memory card slot, where is it?
Any chance to revive the "adata" card?. I would really hate to trash 26 bucks...
To LKMR, search youtube, there is a nice tutorial on how to expand the memory of the phone.

I used a Sandisk Class 4 32GB. No problems at all... WELL worth the price and effort. They are also VERY cheap if you keep an eye on Deal a Day. I've bought 4 from there so far, the last was like $20.

I don't know if it's something I'm doing, but this has happened twice now (both with an S7 and now my new S7E).
I bought my S7 with a SanDisk Extreme 64GB Micro SD. After a few months, I kept finding that on taking a photo, it was diverting to internal storage over the SD card. Rebooting sorted it for a while, but it reached a point where it locked itself and could only be read, but not written to. I sent it back to Sandisk and they issued a replacement.
Since then I've now got an S7E (I was part of the N7 scandal). I'm using the replacement Sandisk card I received and today EXACTLY the same thing has happened. The card has become completely locked. I can see the data that was on it from the S7E before it locked up, but I can't write to it. In fact, I can't even format it. If I put it in my PC I can read everything on it but otherwise it's bu**ered.
Where am I going wrong with my S7's and SD cards. Any ideas?
Cheers.
I had the same thing happen. My Sandisk 128gb got corrupted, sent it back for replacement to Sandisk. Then the replacement got effed. Then I bought a Samsung Evo 128gb and it got locked somehow. There are files on it that I can see with a PC, but when in a phone shows as corrupted. Cannot format, cannot do anything with it. I got another 128gb Samsung from Amazon and so far is working. I am worried it will do it again.
Can i ask which version of s7/edge you guys have ? I got the exynos model (n7 scandal as well) I popped in a 128 gb evo card, I'm worried it might do that to me :/

And me. What I've decided to do is just put music on it (i.e. read only)! That's what it's mostly for for me anyway.

Mine is also Exynos!
Well for me, it started when I had the AT&T 935A S7E with the SanDisk, but I now have the Exynos S7E and it is the one that the Samsung micro SD went bad on. So both models caused issues. I do flash custom roms and things and know the risks, but have never had this happen on any of my S2, S3, S4, S5, or S6 phones.
I got the same issue but I think its the card with the HC card I didnt have problems but with the XC card it got corrupted...
Try a different SDCard manufacturer to SanDisk?
Possible the replacement was from a faulty batch of cards the original was also from
Think I'm using Kingston
Did you read my post? It happened to me with a Samsung too.
Same issue here with Silicon power 64gb.
Might be the whole XC thing.... I have an old 32GB Samsung EVO knocking around. I'm gonna see if I can kill it haha! Otherwise I'm going to have to send the dead one back AGAIN.
I had te same issue on 3 SanDisk cards all SDXC, I concluded to stick with SDXC, got for the extreme versions.
I tried everything to recover or format.

For those with locked files on the SD, what did you when sending it back?
Probably connext ur micro sd card to the pc and done diagnostics and correct disk sectors.

Doesn't work. Already tried that.
There is a command you can use on dos that fixes read write or bad partition errors on sd cards . Check this link

Yes that's what's I've run already on my cards. I have tried everything I can find. I do work in the IT field though I'm not a programmer. The closest I've come to getting somewhere is using an application called testdisk. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk It will help you recover any files lost but that isn't my problem. The one thing I will say is I'm pretty sure all mine have been formatted as eXfat vs fat. I had one go bad when I was messing around with adoptable storage.

I also used to work in the IT field! I spent about 8 hours last time trying to repair the card the first time around - in the end I just sent it back to Sandisk. You need to request an RAM on their web site.
And yea, no CHKDSK /f, or DISKPART CLEAN will touch it. It's so odd how the phone can render a card useless - yet still be completely readable.
I have an sandisk extreme pro 64Gb sdxc since april. Only use it for photos and downloads, sometimes to listen to music. It still works flaweless *knocks on wood*
Have you guys formated the card in the phone? This cause some really bad performance for me, i formatted it with my pc and SDCardformatter and the performance is better now. But sadly not as good as out of the box. Maybe samsung screw something up while formatting with the phone?

When this happens, the card is locked. If I format the card in the phone it claims to have worked - yet nothing has actually been formatted. If I use SDCardformmatter (or Windows, or any of the 3rd party tools) they all fail. "This disk cannot be formatted"!
Yes I have put them in the phone, and my card says corrupted when in the phone, yet works fine (other than being write protected) in my PC. I did request an RMA on my first 128gb SanDisk, then it happened to the replacement, then it happened to the Samsung 128gb, and I am on my 4th 128GB which is a Samsung EVO Select. I thought it might have had something to do with not doing the full wipe of data in TWRP recovery before switching roms. It does say doing full wipe removes encryption as well as wiping data.
