SDhc problem.

Hello!
I just got my new SD HC (32Gb) card for my htc HD2 device, but im getting weird crashes when i just put some Gb of for example music. It deletes some of it, or changes it to thousands of 0byte weird files..
Can someone help?
/card wasnt expensive and its not Kingston or so./

I'm really not certain about this, but their a limit on the size SD card our hd2's can support. (Either 16 or 32gb which is what I'm uncertain of) try formatting your new SD card into two 16 gb partitions and then see what happens.
Hopefully either that helps or someone with more knowledge than I will comment and give you a better answer

Well the limit is definitely not 16gb because I have one of those and it works fine in Android but it for some reason cannot boot SD Android. Also, if I'm not mistaken MarkAtHome (I've seen him in many of the NAND threads, especially NexusHD2) has a 64GB SDXC card as he was posting something about that a while ago. He'd have to confirm though.

Where did you get your memory card?? You son are a victim of false advertisement. I purposely purchased a "cheap" 16GB sd card from ebay and it wasnt even bigger than like 300MB. There are ways to fake the memory size, and thats why when you try to put the music on your card is says its not there because there truly isnt any physical memory available. And also why it gives those weird readouts. Sorry to bust the news :/

According to HTC's website, the HD2 can support up to a 32GB SDHC (class 10 i believe)

Yes. You set up two partitions 32 gb each.

There have been threads discussing how certain sd cards do not perform well in android devices, including the HD2. It has to do with some of the access times the cards are rated at.
I have tested a 32gb patriot class 10 card in the HD2 and samsung vibrant that made both phones freeze and run terribly slow until the card was removed.
Sandisk cards run flawlessly in the HD2 and I have only been using them for the past year, including a 32gb and a 64gb SDXC. The 64gb must be formatted as fat32 inside the phone before it can be used, but the full 64gb is available.

I agree with elesbb. Infact the same thing had happened to me about 4 years ago. What they do it put a memory hack in the SD card fooling it to think there is more memory. I would say if you bought it from ebay contact the seller first and
tell them you think it might be fake and you wish to get a real card asap. If they don't send you one or sound like they may be un-willing to then you should report them. Here's some information found on ebay's site about fake memory cards.
If you bought it from a different online seller you should still contact them about it and say you did some research and believe you recieved a counterfit item. In the link i shared above there are a few examples of how to spot fake cards including some pictures if you go through the links. I've read somewhere that if you have a sandisk and the class rating is in the corner then you more then likly have a counterfit one. Sandisk's class ratings should be centered in the middle of the SD card.

Okay, i've just sent email to him, hopefully he will just re-send me new, (working..?) or give money back!

MicroSD card ejected when listening to music...

Hello everyone.. I've been a lurker of the forums for the last 3 or so years, and... Well finally decided to make an account as I really can't find any help anywhere else, plus you guys are awesome, really
I'd like to make it clear first that my problem is unrelated to similar threads as I will explain...
My S4 spits out my SanDisk Ultra 32GB (Most threads point to 64GB) MicroSD card whenever I play music, irrelevant of player.. (Samsung default Music app, and PowerAmp Pro.) Usually when launching, it is unnecessary to play a file.. Both ejecting and re-inserting the card manually or restarting the phone does absolutely nothing...
I've had this issue since firmware release AMDE, though it was tolerable as it only occurred once a week or so... Since EMK8 however my phone is absolutely useless when it comes music as this occurs when launching any music app...
I should point out, I've tested the card further on an i8190 using benchmarking and SD testing apps as well as the 2 music players I use on my i9505 and it had no issues what so ever...
PS: Suffice to say I did a wipe with every firmware upgrade....
I'm assuming this is most likely a device issue, but I tripped Knox Warranty to 0x1 when rooting the day I got the phone (I got it when MH8 released, but used the old firmware for a few hours..)
What can I try? Has anyone with the same issue found more luck with another music app?
Thank you in advance

Try to format the sd card.. and if you want, format it from the phone itself.. Good luck

I don't know if this helpful or makes sense, But why don't you try to mount your sd card as the internal storage ( there's a thread in the I9505 development helps you )

Thank you, though I don't think I really wanna touch that.. Seeing as if the card decides to unmount in that way it may end up worse, I think....
I've been searching a bit more and found a thread on another forum, it appears that the 32GB SanDisk Ultra card is giving problems with many Samsung devices, maybe I was just lucky with my old S3 Mini... I guess it's time to go back to Lexar cards again for me...

Well, I've made a couple of new discoveries and am glad to say that the issue has been resolved! It did take a bit more investigating to find out the cause, however.... Apparently the issue occurs when using the early 32GB and 64GB SanDisk Ultra cards on Samsung devices whilst having the 'bloatware' version of Dropbox installed... Why? I have absolutely no clue.. But since removing Dropbox everything seems to be working okay.. Around 5 hours daily testing over the last couple of days and haven't had a single eject in the process... Admittedly the cause seems to be completely unrelated.... But, alas... Hope this may help someone with the same issue in the future.

Sd card unexpectedly removed

Hi everyone just got my note 3 two weeks ago and I bought a 32gb sd card
Suddenly today every time I would lock the phone and when I would unlock it,it would take about 3 seconds for the lock screen to appear and I would always get the message "sd card removed"
Is there any fix to this yet?
I used the app wake lock in partial lock mode and that seemed to work but I don't like the fact that the cpu keeps running

Take out and reinsert the card...most likely card problem. Or you could have also bought one of the fake sd cards floating around on ebay.
Teleported from my SM-N9005 from the Enterprise

I tried that and it did not work, I tried a different sd card and it worked fine
Also it reads well on a pc so I don't understand
I did not buy the sd card from eBay ..I got it from best buy, it's a lexar high speed 32gb micro sd hc class 10 card

Samsung phones seem to hate a lot of SD Cards, There is threads and threads of people posting about memory card issues. Seems you have a card that Samsung doesn't like working with.

Even people who have Samsung sd cards have this issue
It's really disappointing cause I take a lot of pictures and was hoping for the extra space. Guess the 32 gb the device has should be enough
Unless anyone else has any advice

Reformat it and use a different file system, If not then it's an incompatible issue which cannot be sorted afaik :\

Either format it via the menu on the phone, Or plug into the SD Adaptor (should have got one with the card?) - connect to PC and choose it on My PC option, right click choose format and pick file system,

Ok I switched it from fat32 to exfat
Seems to be working for now, I'll keep my fingers crossed

We had same thing on mine and my wife's Galaxy S3, we would start getting messages about card being removed unexpectedly few times and then we had both cards (different size and maker) dead within one day. One card I was able to reformat the other one nothing can recognize. I strongly suspect it's Samsung fault, we used both cards in Nokia's for 2 yrs without one error. Do a search and you will see many posts on this subject with different cards. Was kind of hoping Note 3 won't have this issue. Also, I never had another card fail in many yrs of using different digital cams and other devices. My solution is simple: I save pics and video to internal memory, when that gets crowded I do full back up to external HDD and then transfer to SD card to have it for show. All music and movies are on external SD, but are fully backed up as well. In other words I expect SD card to fail at any time, but all it's fine so far, I think our GS3's took about 9-10 months to fail the cards.
Check LOST.DIR, if there is anything there you already lost some files and the card begins to be corrupted and it only will get worse.
The main trick here is to always have a backup, so nothing important is lost forever and frankly that's a good idea with any data and any device.

Problems with 64GB SD card

Hi.
I recently bought myself a 64GB class 10 Sandisk card from Amazon which I was going to use with my Note 3. When I first put it in I formatted the card in the phone. And then I took a few pictures and videos and all seemed to work fine.
The next day when I was taking some photos it suddenly switched over to the internal memory and I got the message that it was unable to save to SD card. I checked the gallery and the last picture i took was corrupted. So after this I tried taking the card out with the phone turned off, put it back in and started the phone. I was able to take some photos but when I was going to record a video it corrupted the file again.
After this I put the card in my PC and did a full format to exFAT and tried filling all ~59GB with pictures, videos and other files and from what I could see no files were corrupted.
Then I formatted it once again in my PC to exFAT and put it in the phone. After a few pictures it once again corrupted the files, even the camera app (default one) crashed at one point. Formatted the card in my phone again but same problem.
I then tried the card in my Gopro camera, first formatted it in the camera then recorded several videos in both 4K, 1440P, 1080P and took several pictures and everything was fine.
I'm not sure but the card seems to be working in other devices. Do you think the problem is the card or my phone? Before this I've used a 16GB class 4 Sandisk card with no problems at all.
Any tips on what I can do?
Thank you in advance!

It's stock and not rooted.

Could be a bad card, try unmounting and mounting the card again and see if that fixes it.

Yeah I've tried that a few times as well and it didn't help. But as I mentioned the card seems to work just fine it other devices. But in my note 3 files get corrupted.
Do you know of any program or any other way to test/confirm that it is the card that's bad?

Actually I do. I have used the HP SD Card Format Tool to fix cards in the past and it has worked pretty well. I also found this thread here on XDA that references it as well.

What write and read speeds were you getting in the PC? The Sandisk models are among the most faked models and that is by far the most frequent problem that I have seen. There have been also certain batches with problems, but Sandisk is always replacing those almost no questions asked if it is a genuine card.
I also have a 64GB Sandisk Ultra which was used about 1 year in my i9300 and now almost 4 months in the N9005 and so far I have never had any problems (but I am keeping an eye on the 128 GB models if those seriously go down in price).

I just ran a test in the program H2testw 1.4 and got these results:
Warning: only 60872 of 60874 MByte tested.
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the past files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 8.49 MByte/s
Reading speed: 17.5 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
So the reading speeds seems fine I guess, it also filled the card with files and verified it.
I would assume that if it was a fake it would have slower speeds and maybe only 2-4GB of space?
I am using the SD card adapter that came with the SD card, and then I put it in a USB SD card adapter in a USB 2.0 port.

Is anyone else having problems with 64GB SD cards? It's as if my Note 3 wasn't compatible with the card since it is working fine in other devices and isn't a bad card according to the test I did.

Sorry .deleted.

Sounds like a hardware fault on the Note 3... I've been using both a sandisk and a samsung 64gb class 10 card on both my note 3's with no problems from the start...
Never had a problem with file corruption....
sdhc and sdxc are 2 different formats - sounds like you could use a 32gb sd card fine but it has issues with the 64gb sd card.... 64gb sd card is the newer format sdxc....
Unfortunately here you hit a snag... Unless the samsung sites list 64gb as ok to use on the Note 3 then they may just say to to warranty repairs.... If 64gb is the listed size (generally "up to ") you should have no problem. It does sound like your card reader doesn't like sdxc... Unless you can get your hands on another 64gb sd card to find out you not be able to use your 64gb sd card...

Death Of a SDcard

Hello there,
My Sd Card Recently unmounted unsafely through boot.
I was using the rom Omega v25, SD was damaged.
Is there any solution to fixing it?
I had tried formatting it but there is no media to format.
Any help would be appreciated.
I can not see it in recovery totally invisible, Ive tried mounting it through Phone settings and it will not mount.
Can not mount it through recovery either.
It does not show up in Partition Wizard for me to change the format.
I Have attached a Image for what it shows in disk management.

Yes yes yes... if I can add, I'm just awaiting for my super duper 128GB micro SDXC card which will be delivered to me by man with big red flag and trumpet, followed by special courier riding the golden donkey. They have to move slowly on motorways, so they are moving in the police escort, but today, finally, I will have my card.
did I mentioned that it will have the warranty covering the lifetime of 4 generations?
Going back to topic: I always think that ppl can be divided into the two categories:
Cat 1: those who are making backups regularly;
Cat 2: those who will learn that they shall do...

Of course I know Ritek. A brand that also makes writeable media. A brand I also avoid like the plague as it's substandard.
So, still waiting for an a-brand micro SD card, 32GB, 5 pounds.
