fault is caused by SanDisk memory cards ... for every one with sandisk sdcards!

Hi
This is some thing I have found not sure if its been posted but if not all should read if you have a sandisk card in you note or any Samsung device.
This maybe s reason to strange problems.

All cards dont have this issue...only some do. Mine works fine as well... never any issues.

" The problem affects "a very small percentage of 32GB and 64GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSD cards," says the memory card manufacturer. Various forums have reported the problem, including the*official SanDisk forum."Under certain circumstances the cards may lock up and the card becomes inaccessible," SanDisk continues, adding, "the issue has been identified and a manufacturing fix has already been put in place."

Yeah, move along- nothing to see here.
I've got 3 each of the SanDisk 32 and 64GB SD-Card and have yet to have any of them fail; as others have pointed out, I guess the OP didn't see the words "small percentage of ... cards".

I don't have an issue with my 32gb micro sdhc ultra but I do have issues with 2 sandisk flash drives note being recognized in windows 7 x64 when Kies is running.

In the linked thread on CNet there are almost as many posts "complaining" about cards from other manufacturers - the most of these about Samsung cards!!
FWIW I have two Sandisk 64gb cards and they both work fine. I just take care that they have been formatted correctly.

Makes sense. I had 2 32gb class 10 SanDisk cards die in my Note 2. Switched to a 64gb Samsung class 10 & no issues.

i only have a sandisk 32gb class 6 and works fine with my note10.1, have not experienced any problems with it, except the slow transfer being a class 6.
might upgrade to 64gb class 10 when its already full. at the moment, im just using around 8gb on it.

That is exactly what happens when people don't do the research . There is 2 different cards ( I forgot exactly how to tell them apart I think one Has little I sign on the card and one don't ) One of them is Specifically designed with digital cameras in mind and another one is Specifically designed for smartphones . And people don't look at that , they look at price . Oh and don't get me started on class . People buy class 2 card because it's cheaper and they wonder why it's not recording high-def video . DOH !!

... and too bad that doesn't matter in the least for our purposes.
Sorry, but that distinction has to do with speed and power usage; ALL Micro-SD cards have to perform according to (E)MMC specs and all Linux kernels are designed to handle all versions of the spec.

brought a 32gb sandisk 3 months ago and its been fine so far, i would buy a samsung micro sd but they are much more expensive than sandisk and never in stock when i want to buy one (they must be good cards if they are always out of stock)

Mine died in my note 10.1

I bought that one and a USB 3.0 microsdxc card reader that supports UHS-1 speeds. While, the s4 will supposedly work with their own card, you won't get the higher read/write speeds on the s4, but you will on your pc.
Sort of a pain to take the card out and stick it in the usb 3 card reader, but for 64gb and you're trying to transfer large video files - may be easier, I suppose

I am wanting to buy a 64gb memory card and have looked at san disk however I have had one which corrupted on my note 2 so am concerned.
Has anyone used the 646gb sandisk class 10 with the new s4 ??

Same here, I had 2 Sandisk SD cards 32GB and both of them got corrupted on MY S3, I don't know is was a bad production or not but the truth is that is very disappointing.
Some people say that rooting phones corrupts the SD card forever, Dunno is its true, Any way I think i will give it a shot on sandisk again for my new S4.
Peace :good:

Questions like these will just invoke peoples opinions and everybody has one. Nobody will be able to tell you what is "best". They all work good and the same. Samsung make cards just fine. So does PNY, Lexar, Kingston,Transcend,etc. Me personally, I stay with the major brands. You should be fine if you do so.Sounds like you just might have a bad card.Take it back and exchange it for something else.

I am a fan of Sandisk cards. Used a 64GB micro in this phone and then moved onto a PNY card which is what currently is in my Note now. There is another thread somewhere in here, maybe Accessories, that has a great deal on MicroSD cards from Best Buy and Amazon. I would start to look this week at getting a card cause you probably can get one for a steal being that this is Black Thursday/Friday.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between a Samsung 64gb Pro sdxc class 10 or a Sandisk Extreme sdxc class 10, which is like $25 more. Am I wasting my money going the more expensive route? Will my phone even show the difference?

I was having problems with my 16 and 32G samsung cards in my note 2, when i got my note 3 i went with a 64G sandisk (had an amazon gift card to use up) and have nothing but good things to say. I tried my 32G samsung in the note 3 as well and it was hit or miss kinda like your describing

It's hit or miss. My 32 gb sandisk class 10 just stopped working last night, lost everything on the card. Im probably going with a samsung card next. There are many reports of samsung devices ruining memory cards, especially sandisk brand.

I went ahead and bought the SanDisk extreme. Just had it for a couple hours and my phone seems to be running hot. I'll keep you guys updated.

I have a Sandisk 64gb card. It did crap out on me but they replaced it and so far so good. I've never had a problem with Micro Center cards but as of right now the biggest they have is 32gb. That's my backup in case my 64gb Sandisk craps out again.

Been running my Sandisk Extreme 64gb for a couple of days and it has not beengiving me any giving me any problems. Everything is running smooth. It doesn't seem lightning fast but it's pretty fast. Nothing impressive on my benchmark but I got it for free. If I had to pay money, I think I would go Samsung pro.

I got 22read, and 13.9 write on my PNY that I bought for $27.

Not true at all, it can and will read the 128gb microsd. But it can also read up to 2 TB hdd via otg cable. I also have a microsd to Sdcard tf cable that reads my 256gb sdcard.

You were just misinformed companies want you to think there's a limit but when your on a site like xda there's no fooling us lol, even though at that time 64 gb microsd was the biggest external microsd option there were ways to get around the limit via regular sdcards. I have a 256gb sdcard I use on my note 3 from a tf cable that uses the microsd card slot on the note 3 so I can insert my sdcard and store massive amounts of data on it. I'm planning on buying the 128gb microsd also tho just to support sandisk and Thank them for finally making this happen, we're sure to see 128gb internal phones in the near future now.

C'mon, this is very simple, until couple days ago the largest micro sd card was 64GB and that's how far they could test it and that's what they wrote in the specs. If the 128GB card follows the specs, it has to work, but I do remember in the past some cards didn't work with all devices and I have no idea why, something about particular controller being not compatible, so it would be foolish for Samsung to post specifications which can't be tested. I had same thing with my old camera, specs listed 32 GB max, largest size at the time of release but it worked with 64GB fine when those came out. So when do we get 256GB, 128GB seems so yesterday.

Almost certainly it will work. However the manufacturer suggested price (200$) is just "marketing" similar to what is routinely done on overpriced jewelry, the initial launch price seems to be closer to 120$ and I would be quite surprised if the price will not get towards 70-80 US$ once the competition really heats-up.

Amazon has it for $119 but it is out of stock.
No idea when they will actually have it.

It's been over 1 year so it's probably time to confirm that the SanDisk 128GB Ultra Micro SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 card works flawlessly on a Samsung Note 3 SM-N900T (running either KItKat or Lollipop). For best performance it doesn't hurt to adjust the read-ahead cache higher than the default 128K (I use 1024K).
Beware of the many "fakes" found online. As of this writing, anything under $50 is probably not a genuine 128GB card, but you can find legitimate ones for as little as $65 if you search around.

Plz, I want a reliable micro sd for note 3

I was using my old 32 kingstone class 4 and it suddenly died and now I am going to buy a new one ,which one you recommend me for buying ? , I read about SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 and what type of format most reliable for it?

Anything below class 8 is at risk of breakdowns on a newer model phone. They're fine for older and less advanced models, but not the new high-end ranges.
Sandisk or Samsung's own line of SDcards is your best bet.
I've personally never had issues with Sandisk.
Had a Medion class 6 one and that one kept becoming unwritable every few days.

You're on the source. It's XDA and the many, many experiences from users. Plus of course general advice from Samsung itself.
To my knowledge SanDisk never made the 64GB MicroSD's below class 10... It was announced second (After Kingmax, iirc) and first to market the 64GB MicroSDXC in September 2011, and that was a class 10....
The "basic" range doesn't go above 32GB.

Well I was hoping more for an article or study as to why a slower card would inherently cause problems.
My card is a Sandisk 64gb Mobile Ultra. It didn't have a class rating on it but Google says that's Class 10. I paid $96 for it...Amazon sells them for $43 now. Damn.
