My Samsung 64gb card is acting really weird, freezing up when downloading torrents which my 16gb uhs doesn't have.
Memory available is 58,54 exfat. I'm asking because I thought my previous also broken sSanDisk 64gb card had 59,40 or something..
Should I format this new card? How could I fix this? Instead of sending it back again.. I just got it back for christ sake.. It's been a year since I had 64gb cards all broken and send in for repair this is getting boring.
Also, titanium backup is ging me this annoying "not enough memory available, backup has been canceled" error. Even though it's a HUGE ASS CARD. Please help!

By default TB backsup onto the internal memory....so maybe you wanna check if that's the case....also there are a few reported cases of 64gb cards being frozen when downloading torrents...I'm guessing it has to do with the size.....bigger the size....memory cards tend to corrupt easily...well its my experience anyway....try formating the card through the phone and retry...and the difference in memory (58-59) is the standard size...so no worries there...hope this helps

It's being saved on external card yes. Always configure it that way. Also I don't have the option to format on the pacman aosp rom like on stock roms..

I know. Just wanting some information before that, don't have a pc at the moment so will have to wait 2 weeks. Are there any top programs for formatting sd cards? Or checking for errors? Need to do this the best way.

so I was looking at that new root post. and it request us to format the sd card to exFat.
so I was looking around in my house. and finally I found a sandisk 2GB micro sd. and I insert it to the phone, and format it. I thought it will ask me to format as exFat or something else. but it didn't. It just format by itself.
and I was thinking is there another way to format a sd card to exfat. or it is not possible for a 2G micro sd?

Google "format exfat xda" But a 2 gig is pretty small to do anything with. Bet you want to root mf3?

Formatting it through the phone wont work, at least i have yet to see it done. At least on newer Android devices that wont allow you to mount the card. Essentially, formatting it while its being accessed via MTP really only erases the card, it doesnt change the file system...i believe.

I put it into my phone. and connect it to my laptop. and I formatted it on the laptop. it doesn't work. so maybe I need to format it from the sd card reader or find a adapter?

yes, you need to put it in an adapter or find an older Android device that allows you to mount the SD card as storage. Those are the only methods i know that will work.
Did you set the usb debugging before you connected the phone to the computer?
easiest way just get the 64gb samsung class 10 card on Amazon--already exFat--not that expensive and works perfectly on everything I have flashed so far--

That is not allways the case. I purchase one 2 months ago and did not had exFat. But it works perfectly.

Hi everyone,
First post here, but I have been reading many threads for the past months and I thank everyone for their great help. I have a problem that I can't fix on my own. I have a Team 64GB MicroSDXC Flash Card Model. I use tunesync to synchronize all my itunes music. I have all my titanium backups on my sd card and a few photos. i Have 26.75 GB available but my phone cannot write more on the SD without Freezing and rebooting constantly... It is rooted but I have a stock ROM, and my SD card is format exfat.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a Team 32GB card with 27GB of music on it and it's formatted as FAT32 and have had zero problems. If you can, try that format and see if it helps.
Will try

Sorry it didn't work.
I have been using 32GB micro SD card in my galaxy S4 with 0 problem so far. Then I bought a Samsung 64 GB micro SD card and did format it to fat32. It stopped working after one day. I removed the old partition and format it again, only 15 out of 64 GM became available. I had a similar problem with another 64 GB micro SD card a month ago.
My personal feeling is that android 4.2.2 does not like 64 GB card regardless of the format type.......
I will continue to use my 32 GB card until getting a new phone with 32 GB internal storage.

Thank you for your answer. Did you try format your Samsung SD to EXFAT? I feel like my Micro SD is fried and is on its last run being write protected. I requested an RMA from Team Group.
Dear Friends,
I have a 64 gig, Class 10 sd card that I have formatted to Fat32 with GuiFormat, and am trying* to use with my S4. The problem is the seemingly notorious issue with extreme data corruption! Every photo I take becomes corrupted Fast and I get the dreaded Black picture with lighting bolt logo in the Gallery. Titanium and Nandroid backups get corrupted almost instantly as well. After Googling a bit, it seems it's a WELL known issue with these S4s. Here's an example of exactly what this issue is:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/315699-micro-sd-card-corruption-issues.html
I decided to post on XDA because there's generally NOTHING unsolved here and was wondering if someone can help me solve this issue? I will be DEEPLY grateful!
Last Note: Before you recommend Samung and/or SanDisk cards, read the thread I posted, seems like people still have problems with those as well! I need a near guaranteed solution to fix this problem, before I buy the expensive sd cards...
Appreciate all your help in advance! Thanks!
Couple things.
Try and reformat again on PC using gui format - fat32.
Then run a chkdsk on the card while it's in the pc.
See if that works.
OR
put the card in the phone and use Philz (or whatever recovery you're using) to format the externalSD card exFat.

Thank you friend!
I have tried 1, that's what's still causing the corruption.
2, I will try... but isn't exFAT NOT recommended to be used to avoid sd problems?
Thank you!
I use fat32.
But some report they use extFat, can always try both.

Thanks, are you using a 64 gig card and have seen NONE of these issues I mentioned?
Got two 64GB cards - these.
I decided it would be best to take my new cards and format them fat32. Used guiformat.exe.
Had my neice and nephew also use this tool to format their cards for their S3s.
Also have a buddy whose got a 64GB and able to use it in his GS3 after formating it fat32 using guiformat.
Really sounds like you got a lemon of a card. You might want to see if the manufacturer will RMA it.
Maybe you got one of those knock off microsd card that says it is 64gb but is really only 4gb. It starts rewriting over itself after 4g of data.
Hey all. Have tried multiple MicroSd cards from different brands and I always have the same problems. It reads as corrupt, photos/music cannot be read or seen, and it happens every time. This happens whether I format it as Internal or portable. (Portable is preferred.)
My G5 Plus is rooted, and is on Android 7.0. Would appreciate some help, not having any luck with anything I do.
I'm rooted and running pure nexus and haven't had the first issue with my portable formatted 32gb card. Are you on stock rom?
My kingstone 32Gb works great on stock, check if your SDs are fake. There are several test apps to check this
If it's asking to, let the phone format the card, I don't mean internal vs portable but an actual physical reformatting of the card. Backup any data on it, let it format, restore the data and see if that helps.
My good quality SD card used on a previous phone would give me the corrupt error on some roms but not others, and other users weren't having the error with their cards that I was, so I finally just let it reformat once and haven't had the problem again on any roms or stock.
Wondering if it maybe has to do with size of card? You both are on 32gb, but I am running a 128. Thoughts?
It is very possible my card could be fake (ebay purchase), but why would it run fine in other devices? How can I check for fake? It reads as a 125GB or whatever it comes out to when formatted.
Don't know where to do just a normal format. I have formatted it as internal and portable (which I want) and the same problems always resurface.
Thank you all for helping.

make a search over internet a generic site or in XDA a thread
They are used to flash the firmware of an old sd card (4, 8, 16 GB etc.) with a bigger one, so it will detect as a eg. 128GB but when you try to write more than 4, 8, 16 GB it fails. So i suggest to buy an original micro sd, you will pay more but it won't fail

I will order a new card and test the one I currently have. Thanks so much for the help, bummer about the fake cards.
So I have a Samsung Tab a6 7 T280 wifi and I've inserted a MicroSD card (128GB). I've done this with the stock os first and I just got the message card can be removed safely. and it wouldn't let me mount it.
Now I've installed the Tinker V5.1 Stock Rom over it and it still happens. (wanted a faster os on it).
I can reformat the card with twrp to be ext4 or exFAT and it doesn't change a single thing. if I insert the sd card I get a quick preparing card and then instantly the message card can be safely removed. clicking on mount sd card in storage from settings doesn't do anything except prompt same message.
I'd try a different sdcard.
Okay, so I hope I can help, I have the SM-T280, I do not use Tinker ROM, instead I debloated my stock ROM and use an SPA kernel by @_mone. If you're trying to extend storage to your tablet, you'll need to use a PC to partition the SD card two PRIMARY partitions. I used on Windows MiniTool Partition Wizard (free), and I used a FAT32 partition and an ext2 partition. With the stock ROM/kernel I had problems using ext4 or extFAT which didn't make sense to me but it is what it is, and I used the app Apps2SD to handle all the work.
The main thing, you need to make sure your SD card has TWO (2) PRIMARY partitions.
Good luck.

What about the Sizes? As in one partition 60 GB the other one also 60 GB ? Or the fat32 partition 1 GB and the ext2 the rest?

FAT32 is not for large capacity storage. Use exFat. There isn't much point in having such a large ext2 partition. It's incompatible with media transfer protocols unless you use a Linux system.
This device fully supports exFAT. I use a 64gb sdcard no issues.

I wouldn't think so, I'm sure it supports 128gb cards.
Just partition it into to halves. First partition exfat. Leave the other unformatted and see what happens.

partitioned into a 40 GB exFAT partition and left rest unpartitioned. Didn't change anything. if I pop it in the tablet I get a short preparing sd card notification then immediately an SD card safe to remove notification...
I'm really confused by this. The tablet is new so I doubt that it's broken but I don't know. Do you know if there's a way to check any kind of logs on Android like dmesg on Linux as an example to see what happens with the sd card?

According to Samsung, the T280 will support a 256gb SD card BUT I know from experience that SD cards over 32gb can be VERY touchy. If you use a PC to remove all of the partition and then let the tablet try to do its own formatting and it still doesn't work, I'd say you have an incompatible SD card. That doesn't mean the card is bad but that it just won't work in the T280.
As an example, a Samsung EVO+ card (which can be found on eBay for $30) will probably work while a "no name" card from China, probably won't.
