Ok so im finally getting around to posting about this.
Ever since ive had my S4 (may) ive noticed that I have huge lag when rebooting or shutting down my phone.
It sometimes takes a full 2 mins+ to reboot or shutdown. Startup is fine - maybe 30-45 seconds maybe less.
Its formatted with the phone using the format utility so I believe its exfat??
I only found out it was the sd card cos without it in its off within 2-5 seconds
With my old s3 it doesnt lag. My 32gb card doesnt lag.
What can I do to stop this lag? I almost miss my s3 (wife has it)
Btw its the same with ALL tw roms and all kernels (yes tried them all now)
HELP

People who are using the Galaxy S4 and the Sandisk 64GB card claimed to have problems with it.
Most of them got a new card replaced from Sandisk. That's why I use a Samsung card. Did you try a different SD card?

Not a different 64gb card no. Just the 32gb card I have.
Im sure that should mean that the 64gb Sandisk would also cause lag on my old s3 if it was faulty.

Some kernels don't support exFat. Only stock and adam kernel I believe. Have you tried formatting to FAT32? See if that helps. I've got a 64gb Samsung card that works fine can't say I notice a lag.

Im currently on stock kernel. I know some dont support but ones ive tried do.
Im gonna take a video to show the lag later

Here is a vid. This was a relatively short one. But you get the point.
I can film the s3 with the same card restarting instantaneous without any lag

Since the last two minor updates I constantly keep getting the error message "SD card removed unexpectedly"... Anyone else experienced this?

Most probably a bad sdcard. There are lots of thread for this here. The solution is to get it replaced.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331434
I had similar issue and I claimed my warranty to get replacement.
Now everything is working great (so far).
You can also install this app named "SD card monitor" on play store.
It will tell you how many times you card has been failed.
My card was unmounting and then mounting itself lots of time. Mostly in deep sleep mode which make my phone battery drain faster.
I had the same problem in the end the SD card reader stopped working.event on utube to see how easy it was to fix.bought a new SD, sim card reader from eBay £5.70 an easy 10min fix no problems since

I had the same problem with a 32GB Class 4 microSD (SanDisk).
Replaced it with a Class 10 from Kensington and everything worked fine since then.
Please note that the faulty SD card worked fine on a Galaxy mini and mini 2 but I've tested it in the GS4 of my brother and he had the same problem as I had.
Might be a problem with the speed? Class 4 is slower and doesn't work in a GS4?
Just replace it with a Class 10 and it should work.
And a small tip... don't buy SanDisk... many users reported problems with SanDisk.
It seems sandisk sd card are problematic. There are lotsnof issue with sandisk class 10 specifically on 32gb and 64gb.

Mine is a SanDisk 32GB but it's annoying that before the updates I had never had a problem but I'll try and get another sd card and see how it goes. Thanks for the replies

I still don't think this is an sd card problem and more of a software problem as when it sais sd card unexpectedly removed bla bla bla... I can't open up the apps but I can still view files on the sd card open them up etc and it only started happened after the last few updates

It seems to be the card tray loosing contact, I tried pushing on its lower right corner and then it would read. Got a I9506 don't know if its the same problem on all phones.
Perhaps you could fix this by gluing it stuck in this new position
hey guys im looking to get back into the note.. love it.. i have a GS3 with a class 10 sandisk. my write speed is about 13MB a sec and read speed is 21MB a sec...
anyone know if its worth getting the extreme sandisk that reads up to 50/80/90MB a sec?
will the note 3 SD card slot even read it at that speeds?
its pretty nice now that note 3 lowest internal is 32GB im sure ill be ok with it for my use but i know i will be wanting more memory later on and samsung some how always release the very high memory later or never..

I bought this card in June for my S4. It transfers at blazing speeds and has been worth every penny.

Avoid Sandisk cards. They have been failing at a high rate, and are slower compared to the competition. I'd recommend getting a Samsung micro-sd card from amazon for just a few dollars more.
I had the ultra in my note 2. Switched to the extreme a month ago when the Lyra started failing.
I found even in the note 2 a noticeable difference in read/write.

Totally agree. I plan to get Sammy's 64GB one for my Galaxy S4....
Is the samsung 64 gb micro sd card a good choice to use in my Note 3? Class 10, correct?
Yes I have one and it hasn't failed me since the gs4 and I put it in the note 3 and no issues what so ever .

I woukd rate them best in the class..... even better than sandisk ones....
Waiting for the price to drop a little bit more... never see them below 60 $
I have used both the Samsung and the SanDisk with no problems. Cannot recommend one over the other - both fast and reliable.

It is the best performance / value.
More info @ The best 64GB micro SD card for Galaxy Note 3
Samsung micro sd is my first choice its never failed me, second choice Strontium (Singapore) it just as good as Samsung and just a little cheaper (i was very surprised its performance and quality, i own 2 x 32gb its as fast as Samsung Pro class).
-Samsung still my first choice, Sandisk too many failure these days.

I use a Sandisk Ultra 64GB micro SD card and have recently removed it due to an overheat problem near the camera/flash area. I did not want to risk burning out the card (9months old) and I was told that removing the card might improve the over heat problem but it has not as of yet.
Hi everyone,
I was thinking about buying the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro when it comes out, as an upgrade from my OnePlus One. Can i ask whether 128GB microSD cards will work at their full capacity with this phone?
Cheers!
I don't know about the Redmi Note 2, but the Moto G (3rd gen) is supposed to be limited to 32 Gb — however it seems to be simply an inability to read the exfat file system often used for larger cards. After formatting as fat32 in the phone, larger cards worked fine.
It works without problems

128GB microSD works without problems on Redmi Note 2
I thought you had to format the SD card to FAT32 and that only 64GB works. That's awesome if 128GB works. Do you need to format to FAT32?
Excellent, that's great news if the Redmi Note 2 supports 128GB cards.
Going a bit off topic here but i don't want to start another thread, do you think the Redmi Note 2 is likely to get official CyanogenMod support? I'm only wondering because it might be difficult for me to settle with MIUI after coming from a OnePlus One with CM12. So far the only Xiaomi phones listed on their website are the Mi2, Mi3 and Mi4.

Just out of curiosity, why would you replace OPO with RN2?

Good question. I'm after a phone with more memory, hence my original question about compatibility with 128GB memory cards. I was hoping to sell my OPO for around £175-£200 and then buy another phone with that money. The Redmi Note 2 seemed like a decent choice, or maybe the OnePlus X.

Man, don't do it. This phone just sucks comparing to OPO. And here's why:
1. Stock rom (MIUI) is awful, the most annoying thing about it - poor ram management. The overall ui look is terrible, there is no logic in setting menu whatssoever, moder apps, that follow material desing guidelines just don't blend in with the rest of the ui. Notification drawer and quick pannel was cool 3 years ago, nowadays it isn't user friendly, and is not that convenient to use. Plus likes to lag from time to time.
2. You won't get that insane amount of custom roms that you already have with OPO.
3. The phone is much weaker comparing to snap 800/801 performance in terms of gpu.
I'm telling you this as ex-nexus 5 user, who's phone died. Better go with OPX option. I think getting that phone too tho. RN2 is mostly for avid MIUI fans....

Yeah, i see your points there mate. The lack of stock Android did bother me somewhat but i thought there might be some custom ROM's available if i didn't get along that well with MIUI 7. I'll have another look into the OnePlus X because i'm sure the modding community behind this phone will grow much quicker than what it would for the RN2. I was also looking at some of the LG phones because they're popular and reasonably cheap as well, the G3 and G Flex 2, maybe the G4 if i could somehow stretch my budget enough. The OnePlus 2 is alright but the lack of a microSD slot is unfortunately a massive dealbreaker for me.

I've been using lg g2 for 3 months as my daily driver, and as far as I can judge, lg's ui is pretty irritating sometimes. I advice you to try to use an lg phone, and make a conclusion whether you can or can't use it for yourself.
Official website said support 32gb only
All my redmi 3G and 4G note, redmi2 and now was on RMN2 running on 64 GB class 10 msd which were formatted to FAT32 wothout any problems.

It does. The RN2 is for cheapos like me.
1. While I don't like how hidden are some features in MIUI it doesn't lag at all. The phone is butter smooth. As for RAM it sits at 1GB with some apps running in the background most of the time. This is about the same as some AOSP ROM screenshots I've seen around.
2. Yeah, it's a bit disappointing the poor reception of this phone among developers.
3. For me it isn't important. Anyway the GPU on the RN2 is newer and it has more features even if it is slower.
What you haven't said is that the RN2 trounces the OPO CPU wise. The OPO is an old phone with an even older SoC.

Today just just bought the sandisk 128GB UHS-1 card. When I insert it into an otg, my phone couldn't recognised it. Used windows 10, and it shown exFAT format. Then I formatted in my windows 10 notebook, used guiformat to format it to FAT32 inserted in rmn2 and it shown 119GB. Good. Now just transferring some files into it. It worked.

thought i would share my personal experience!
I used a 64 gb micro SD card with my Moto g 2014, which supposedly only supported up to a 32gb micro SD card
it worked fine for about 3 months, but then the micro sd card became permanently corrupted (all data on the card is permanently unmovable, reformats don't work either).
After doing some research, I read a report that said that micro SD card readers that only support up to 32gb are not supposed to take cards with higher memory, and corruption and data loss is much more common in cases like these.

I was using 3 pcs of 64GB sandisk class 10(FAT32) on my Sony Z1(3 yrs+), redmi note(1 yr+) redmi 2(few months) for nearly a year without any problem, just bought an 128 sandisk and formatted to fat32, it working fine on my redmi note2(3 days)

I used the 128GB msd(fat32), it can works but my redmi note 2 prime drained battery on 5.11.12cn dev rom, restored back to 5.11.5 cn rom still the same. Today changed to sandisk 64gb and it was normalised.
