[Q] 32gb micro sd not working on SGS4 I9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
need some help on this. my gf bought a sgs4 with her kingston 16gb class 4 microsd card. she put into her sgs4 but its shows blank sd card with unsupported files. i tried using the microsd card on my sgs3 and also on com via card reader, it can be used without a problem
tried formatting the card but it's not helping
i tried using my own microsd card from s3 and put to her sgs4 and it's working
anyway she's running on stock rom
anyone able to advice on this? help needed

Try to format it in the S4.
However i don't recommend anything less than class 10 microsd card in S4.
Its just not a good idea.

Hmm bro, we try formatting it on the phone but it still doesn't work. I guess only solution is to get a new class 10 card

Rubbish.
I use a class 6 card (32 GB) without any problems. Did you try any other card in her phone?

I got a class 10 Samsung 32GB card on the way.
Better work!

Flashing with SD Card

Hey guys!
I have a question about flashing with SD-Card:
Do I have to use 1GB/2GB Cards which are none "SDHC" cards?
Or does our Blackstone support High Capacitiy in Bootloader Mode?

I flashed mine using the 8GB card that came with the phone. I would of thought as long as the phone can read the memory card you'll be able to flash from it.
Ok, if you did it with the 8GB card then it should work. Thanks

That's wrong, as far as I know. My old device was a Hermes which I could NOT flash with SDHC cards. But it was also able to read SDHC cards like my 4GB SDHC card.
That's why I asked
i tried with 2 different 8gb cards one of which came with the phone and both didnt work ,
but my 2gb and 16gb both work

I can confirm this too - and I nearly always flash my HTC's from the card.
But you need make sure that card is first formatted to the correct FAT (cant remember which now, its in the Wiki), and obviously that the phone can see the card. Then all should work fine!

Sandisk 8GB micro SDHC card problem

Hello,
I use a Sandisk 8GB micro SDHC card in my Tattoo. The first problem is that the card is not always recognized. After a reboot it works mostly fine again. The second problem is that i lost sometimes all my data on the card without any reason, it is just gone in a moment, I have already formatted the card in my PC but without any success. It is also not possible to do a format in my Tattoo (not working). Any suggestions how to handle with this? Thanks a lot, Mark
try formating the card i have the same card and it works sharply.. (format twice. )
Oops
I was thinking about buying this card... But now I think I won't risk :\

I've had this problem with my 8gb sandisk card too, but with froyo NFinity - had to format it the first time, and it was fine for a couple of days, then yesterday it came up with "Preparing SD Card", then "SD Card safe to remove" then "SDcard blank or has unsupported filesystem" in the notifications blind. Never had anything other than a FAT partition, and when I try to fomat it (on the phone, in Windows, in Linux) I can't. :/ I think my 4gb card was fine, but a bit scared to check now!

I had the same problem with the same SD. Then I changed it for one of 4GB and then no more problems.

[Q] Need help with Micro SD

Hey guys,
I have been running Android on my HD2 for a few months now using the stock 16gb class 2 and had no real issues. I purchased a Patriot 8gb class 4 to replace the stock because I need it for another device.
I have tried formating it 32kb and 64kb, default allocation size and nothing has worked. After transfering the android files and running haret a few minutes later I get stuck on the boot screen. I tried a fresh install of various android builds and keep having the same problem.
Can someone tell me the correct way to prep this card for my HD2 to run android? Maybe a utility or something.
Link to the card's product page: http://www.patriotmem.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=4&catid=16&prodgroupid=78&id=730&type=15
Thanks
Give SD Formatter a try in quick format mode.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
It formats FAT32 with 32kb sectors, and has worked well here with multiple class and size MircoSDHC cards. That said, 16GB Sandisk cards are cheap now. Maybe consider picking up another one and ditching the Patriot, if SD Formatter does not fix it up.
Best to all,
R

I'm sorry for you... That card is a junk! I also have that one and after many hours of frustrations end up buying sandisk 8gb class 4 for $15usd.
I have done all suggested ways to prep that card. If ever you will be able to boot, expect for minutes of lags.
I would recommend what has been said before, just re-format the SD Card.

Hi, what class is your card ?
I have a 32Go class 4 sandisk and it works just fine, some people seem to have problems with class 2 and class 10.

I had this pb with it after using WP7, I don't know how but changing my bootloader from Maglrd to Clk made it work again on the device.
Try formatting it with SD Formatter 3.1. It solved my problems. Set the options to format type FULL(overwrite) and format size adjustment to on.

Slow writing speed on sandisk class10

Hello!
I just bought a Sandisk 16 class10 card and put it in my S4.
It didn't take the card before a boot though I am using PAC rom.
I tried SD tool app on the phone itself and gave me about 8.5mb/s
On PC I used h2testw and got a ridiculous 7.7mb/s
Now I don't what's the problem.
Should I format the card into a specific format or PAC rom is slowing the USB in a way?
I noticed USB transfer files is slower with PAC

Thats really weird... I have a Class 6 lexar 8gb micro SD card and get about 15-17MB/s and on rare occasions 10MB/s you might have a faulty SD card though because a Class 10 should get in the mid-high 20's easily

I formatted it in windows 8 as exfat, tried it again with the SD Tool app and got 22mb/s but when transferring files from PC to the phone it stays between 6 and 7mb/s.
It could be PAC rom messing with USB so I will flash TW 4.3 rom (Goldeneye) to see if it will change something.
It took me 2mins to transfer the 950mb of the rom while in the HTC One days it would have take 20sec...
Report on Echoe rom before flashing the new modem:
Using 400mb test file with H2testw Writing speed: 6.67mb/s and Reading speed : 19mb/s
Weird thing is that it starts first 4 secs with high 22mb/s then drop to 6!!
Dunno if new modem will change something
Could this card be a fake?
Looks like a Class 4 disguised in 10.
Tested speed of the card using the adapter on 2 different PCs and got 9.5mb/s.
Thanks God I have a warranty from the official Sandisk dealer,so I tell them I get between 6 to 10mb/s max while I should have the double.
I will try to format the card one last time before asking for a replacement just to double check
