Has anyone replaced their micro SD card and experienced the Zune sync pretty much hanging the device? I replaced it with a Kingston 32GB C4 card and it all seemed to work fine until I went to sync. I can get about 10, maybe 20 songs, sync'd, then it freezes. Kinda sucks.
I'd be very interested to hear how this goes - I have to wait at least aother month for my Venue Pro and I have a Sandisk 32GB C4 card waiting for it, so I will end up in the same boat as you.
(Except mine's Sandisk rather than Kingston, of course)
Please keep us posted on what happens. Incidentally, did you try another hard reset yet?

Sync'd over 100 songs last night on my SanDisk 16GB Class 2 and it went swimmingly.

The OP asked if anyone who's replaced the card is experiencing issues. I said I'm not. I'm also using a supposedly slower card. I wasn't implying that the OP is wrong in any way.

No I am simply saying that the brand and class could affect the performance.
Maybe Sandisk and Class 2 are better for the dell venue pro?
Yeah, I dunno. I picked up another 16GB Patriot C4 - haven't tried that yet. I did a soft reset and cleared all apps, seems to be *somewhat* better although it's definitely not right still. I'll probably swap out the card again and give it ago.
Where were you able to find a 32GB SanDisk C4?
I got mine from Amazon 2 weeks ago. It was like $90 with same day delivery.
16GB Patriot...better, but still not great. Replaced the stock 8GB card and it appears to work as normal. I'll order the SanDisk one - seems like that's the way to go.
Edit: And did you get a C2 or a C4? I can find the C2 on their site, but the only C4s I see are Kingston and other brands.
Class four, even though the picture depicted a class two when I received it it was a class four card.

Same here, ordered the class 2, received a class 4.
Now if I could just order the phone or get a ride from here to the local Microsoft store (darn hatred of driving) I'd be all set. I guess if waiting all this time hasn't killed me another week or two shouldn't be tha- I NEEDS IT NOW!!!!

Are you sure it's a genuine 32Gb card? So many fakes floating around that bomb out after you try to copy more than a couple of hundred Mb to them.
Yeah...1.) It's Kingston, which is a brand I think most people trust. 2.) The device shows ~30GB of free space after the reset...so yeah, pretty sure Plus, the issue still occurs, just at a smaller scale, with the 16GB card I got, from another reputable manufacturer.
Thus far, it's taken about 1hr to copy ~850MB of files over =/
There's the issue with WP7... By the time you realise it's not an issue with the card but with your device, you're out of warranty .
Warranties are not worth a thing. What matters is the Sale of Goods act. A manufacturer cannot refuse to repare a faulty device just because you peeled a label off and replaced a card. Unless the fault is caused by the replacement of the card.
You might have to threaten them with Small Claims court action, but rest assured you'll win.
Voiding a warranty is not the same thing as losing your consumer rights. Warranties are provided by manufacturers, consumer rights are provided by law. Law trumps manufacturers. End of.

Doesnt really apply since the Dell isnt available anywhere apart from the US which doesnt have such laws. However we can sue so I guess it evens out in the end.
It's also kind of a hard sell because it works perfectly with the stock 8GB card, so it's kind of hard to call it a fault with the device.
Minor update:
Purchased a 16GB Wintec Class 10 and it did ~850MB in around a minute or so. Definitely closer to what I'd expect.
for those who bought 'class 4' Sandisk - I've found nothing on SD's site to indicate that they even make a C4 card...so, i dunno what to say about that =/ Bought a class 2 32GB from newegg...should be here monday. Hope that works out so I can actually replace my ZuneHD
Sandisk 32GB Class 2 card in my DVP right now. No issues, loaded it up with a ton of videos and music and its working well. About 10GB free of the 30GB right now.
This morning an article in ZDNet claims that the writer himself was able to fix these issues by swapping out the stock SDCard on the DVP. Has anyone who has had these issues fixed their problem by doing just this? I myself am a little skeptical myself, but am wondering if this is even a possible reason for all of our problems.
Article is here: http://t.co/38b4FiY
Who knows, some of the guys who got the earliest DVP's bought from MS stores on Nov 8 tried swapping the card, results were hit and miss for compatibility. Some Samsung Focus owners have no problems with their cards, some do. No guarantee the card you use wont give problems. I'd like to see if Dell truly has a fix for the freezing issue, whatever it may be and then look further into this claim.

I find it hard to believe, but I have not seen anyone say it has not worked for them. I swapped my 16g card for a different one, no problems. A friend of mine did the same with a 32g card, same thing. Word is, the issue does not exist on the 8g card. Conclusions...they say none. They're smarter than me. But my phone works well. They're still looking for answers.
I swapped to an 8GB card - no problems.
I swapped to a 32GB card - more problems than before.
Swapped back to my 8GB card - no problems.
I still need to exchange the 32GB card and try a new one, maybe the DVP is just very picky about cards (including the 16GB that Dell includes).
PS: my post on how to do the card switch was mentioned in the article! I feel special.
I swapped to a previously owned 8gb... no issues.
then swapped to a newly purchased 32gb sandisk card... no issues.
getting a 32 gig class 4 microsd to try hopefully monday
My 16GB passes the SD test but I still have issues using WiFi and marketplace at the same time.

Was this the Transcend card you got http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-mic...YOC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1297964644&sr=8-6? I tried a Sandisk 32GB and it still crashes with wifi but I'm thinking it may be a class 4 as its not labelled in any way, and still crashes. And how is the speed of the device with the new card?
Will be picking mine up in a few mins at the Microsoft store near my house. 8Gb. Salesman yesterday acknowledged the problems but said the newest builds run much smoother. Well see about that!

The 8GB version has not been having the stability problems that the 16GB version has. There were some other issues with the phones sold in November at the Microsoft Store WP7 launch, but those have long since been resolved.
In other words, you should be fine

Edit: well looks like I'm definitely out of luck, the Transcend card also locked up when using wifi so I'm stuffed. Now have to suffer 8 months of no wifi till I can move to a Nokia WP7.
Hello,
I am pleased to report that the Sandisk microSDXC 128gb card does work in the p6800, stock JB MD3. The card must be formatted to FAT32. The card is shipped formatted to exFAT.
Enjoy!

I purchased it from Amazon when they were offering the card (pre-release) for $119USD, so less than $1USD per GB. Not too bad. The write performance is OK nothing great. But, the card can store my entire .mp4 music collection with no card swapping!
Given the discounted price, I'm happy.

No, but my Samsung Galaxy 5 player did take awhile to recognize the card. Perhaps it was because the card has over 17,000 files!
great news :good:, I will also try
Samsung EVO 64gb
I want to share my experience with you.
Long time waiting and trying this thing 64gb to work with my Gtab 7.7 without succes until today.
I received this Samsung EVO 64gb UHS-I from Amazon.fr and right from the box it did work with device. Yes happy to see that and more happy to get all my stuff from the 32gb on it readable and writable.
One remark, my Gtab is actually running under Kitkat Rom 4.4.4 of Carbon release 12 Sept. 2014.
Wait and see how long this will last....
The first few photos went to the SD card then I get error messages saying...
http : // i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy360/sell90254/IMG_9360_zpse1bc05a4.jpg << this is the image but I'm too new to post pics.
"Unable to save file to SD card. Default storage has been changed to device memory."
So, I Googled around it it seems that this problem has popped up before but I haven't yet found a resolution.
I have the latest SanDisk 64GB UHS-1 microSD card. I thought that the problem last night was because I corrupted it by writing to it from my Windows 8 PC but I've since reformatted it with the fat32format.exe utility so that should be good.
Any advice?
I keep switching it back to the SD card but it worked for only a few hours.
My first Android device...
Maybe it's OK? Maybe my answer will help other NOOBs (like me)?
It seems that it depends on which shooting method that you use. And, I knew that because I read the entire manual while patiently waiting for what seemed like FOR-EVER for this thing to come out.
Anyway, I wasn't in one of the special "shot & more" modes so I thought it would be good but 'burst' somehow got checked and that was the problem.
:silly:
did you try formatting it?
it should work...i think its either a formatting issue or a problem with your card
Have you tried to format card in phone - be worried because I ordered the same card

YES. I did reformat the phone but learned a lot more about this.
--- THIS IS NOW A USEFUL POST ---
The problem is the version of this memory card and the exact part # and mislabeled packaging (can't post pics and URLs because I'm still too much of a NOOB to be allowed).
Here's what I wrote to the guy that I bought this from and he agreed to accept my return.
"I am so sorry to do this but the part # that you sent is different from the one you advertised and it therefore doesn't work in my Samsung Galaxy S5.
#1. The ad that I purchased from clearly said that I was buying a SDSDQUA-064G-A11A (Class 10 / UHS-1) but I instead received a SDSDQY-064G-U46A which is actually a class 6.
Regardless it is a different part #.
#2. This is documented on the SanDisk forum.
Question: Is "SDSDQY-064G-U46A" the same as "SDSDQUA-064G-A11A"?
From http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Mobile...he-same-as-quot-SDSDQUA-064G-A11A/td-p/273971
Answer: SDSDQUA-064G-A11A is a class 10 UHS-I card in US packaging that has the android logo on it. SDSDQY-064G-U46A is a class 6 card in EU packaging #
3. I tried to use it because 64GB is 64GB but the phone requires a certain memory speed in order to support the camera and it automatically switches photos to the internal memory because the memory isn't class 10.
#4. I ran benchmark testing on my phone and confirmed the speed. The package is opened because I did try to use it but I've got all the material. Please let me know where I can send it back in order to receive a full refund."

Google for "SDSDQY-064G-U46A SDSDQUA-064G-A11A" and you will find other articles.
My solution was to buy the 'Extreme version", I know it's 2x the price but not being able to take certain types of photos or videos on my SD card is unacceptable.
Specifically...
SanDisk 64GB 64G Extreme micro SD microSDXC Card 45MB/s 300X UHS-I Class 10 +smal multifunction Case
I have seen this same complaint on forums at Amazon, eBay and NewEgg. All supplied the much slower card which I can confirm does not work in the S5.
PS Here's a picture of what I bought that says Class 10 / UHS-1 but isn't really...
Just make sure the part # ends in A11A because the one ending in U46A won't work properly in your phone.
I have the extreme plus version and it works great

I was pretty sure but that's EXACTLY what I wanted to know myself. I bought "extreme" and not "extreme plus" -- seems that there is a 2x difference here in speed. Hopefully the 'extreme is enough'. The lesser version of the "Ultra" (U46A) clearly is not.
I bought this one from http://www.rakuten.com/prod/sandisk-extreme-64gb-microsdhc-uhs-i-class-10-memory-card/256138497.html
and not this one from www.rakuten.com/prod/sandisk-extreme-plus-64-gb-microsdhc-class-10-uhs-i-memory-card-with/263090059.html
Some part #'s:
Extreme = SDSDQXL-064G-A46A
Extreme Plus = HK092 ???
Seems like most sites don't always list the full part # (example above) and many others list one but sell a different one like when I ordered the non-extreme version.

I've had a similar problem, it started in my S4 with the 64gb SanDisk but I thought that the camera had gone faulty! Upgraded this week to S5 and put the sd card in it and all the pictures I took were OK for a minute then went corrupt? Also noticed that I couldn't put apps on the sd so process of elimination brought me to the card. Turns out it had gone faulty but had a second one in my gopro so put it in the phone and all is working perfectly but the other card is dead and can't even format it. Not sure if this helps or similar to your experience but thought I'd share

I tried the Ultra and not Ultra-Plus. The Ultra worked for most things for me but not high speed cam/camera functions.
If you tried it please let me know.
From this point on I buy the Extreme Plus and never looked back.
I don't know if it's something I'm doing, but this has happened twice now (both with an S7 and now my new S7E).
I bought my S7 with a SanDisk Extreme 64GB Micro SD. After a few months, I kept finding that on taking a photo, it was diverting to internal storage over the SD card. Rebooting sorted it for a while, but it reached a point where it locked itself and could only be read, but not written to. I sent it back to Sandisk and they issued a replacement.
Since then I've now got an S7E (I was part of the N7 scandal). I'm using the replacement Sandisk card I received and today EXACTLY the same thing has happened. The card has become completely locked. I can see the data that was on it from the S7E before it locked up, but I can't write to it. In fact, I can't even format it. If I put it in my PC I can read everything on it but otherwise it's bu**ered.
Where am I going wrong with my S7's and SD cards. Any ideas?
Cheers.
I had the same thing happen. My Sandisk 128gb got corrupted, sent it back for replacement to Sandisk. Then the replacement got effed. Then I bought a Samsung Evo 128gb and it got locked somehow. There are files on it that I can see with a PC, but when in a phone shows as corrupted. Cannot format, cannot do anything with it. I got another 128gb Samsung from Amazon and so far is working. I am worried it will do it again.
Can i ask which version of s7/edge you guys have ? I got the exynos model (n7 scandal as well) I popped in a 128 gb evo card, I'm worried it might do that to me :/

Mine is also Exynos!
Well for me, it started when I had the AT&T 935A S7E with the SanDisk, but I now have the Exynos S7E and it is the one that the Samsung micro SD went bad on. So both models caused issues. I do flash custom roms and things and know the risks, but have never had this happen on any of my S2, S3, S4, S5, or S6 phones.
I got the same issue but I think its the card with the HC card I didnt have problems but with the XC card it got corrupted...
Try a different SDCard manufacturer to SanDisk?
Possible the replacement was from a faulty batch of cards the original was also from
Think I'm using Kingston
Did you read my post? It happened to me with a Samsung too.
Same issue here with Silicon power 64gb.
Might be the whole XC thing.... I have an old 32GB Samsung EVO knocking around. I'm gonna see if I can kill it haha! Otherwise I'm going to have to send the dead one back AGAIN.
I had te same issue on 3 SanDisk cards all SDXC, I concluded to stick with SDXC, got for the extreme versions.
I tried everything to recover or format.

There is a command you can use on dos that fixes read write or bad partition errors on sd cards . Check this link

Yes that's what's I've run already on my cards. I have tried everything I can find. I do work in the IT field though I'm not a programmer. The closest I've come to getting somewhere is using an application called testdisk. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk It will help you recover any files lost but that isn't my problem. The one thing I will say is I'm pretty sure all mine have been formatted as eXfat vs fat. I had one go bad when I was messing around with adoptable storage.

I also used to work in the IT field! I spent about 8 hours last time trying to repair the card the first time around - in the end I just sent it back to Sandisk. You need to request an RAM on their web site.
And yea, no CHKDSK /f, or DISKPART CLEAN will touch it. It's so odd how the phone can render a card useless - yet still be completely readable.
I have an sandisk extreme pro 64Gb sdxc since april. Only use it for photos and downloads, sometimes to listen to music. It still works flaweless *knocks on wood*
Have you guys formated the card in the phone? This cause some really bad performance for me, i formatted it with my pc and SDCardformatter and the performance is better now. But sadly not as good as out of the box. Maybe samsung screw something up while formatting with the phone?

When this happens, the card is locked. If I format the card in the phone it claims to have worked - yet nothing has actually been formatted. If I use SDCardformmatter (or Windows, or any of the 3rd party tools) they all fail. "This disk cannot be formatted"!
Yes I have put them in the phone, and my card says corrupted when in the phone, yet works fine (other than being write protected) in my PC. I did request an RMA on my first 128gb SanDisk, then it happened to the replacement, then it happened to the Samsung 128gb, and I am on my 4th 128GB which is a Samsung EVO Select. I thought it might have had something to do with not doing the full wipe of data in TWRP recovery before switching roms. It does say doing full wipe removes encryption as well as wiping data.
