http://androidforums.com – Hey guys I've been trying to make this work all day but i am close to just giving up. I just bought a new 64gb class 10 micro sd from amazon that is made by SanDisk. I tried to connect it to my phone and it won't recognize it. I connect it to a non romd s3 and it reads it fine, so I format it. Put it back in my phone and still no luck. I have formatted it on the computer and even tried formatting it to fat32 but each time I try using fat32 formatter it says partition collapsed. I don't know how to fix it, I've tried doing that on 2 different laptops and they each say the same thing (partition (General)

I purchased a Sandisk 64GB micro SD card through Amazon. I got the card and put it in my phone and the phone said it was damaged. It wouldn't mount the SD card to format it. I tried to format it with my laptop, but it would not give the option for fat32.

I did a Google search and found this.

Alright, first let me start by saying that I hope this is in the right area and i'm sorry because i'm sure this question has been asked to death.

I have a Galaxy S 3 Running stock with android 4.0.4 (Not rooted) I also have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC class 10 MicroSD card (Formatted to FAT32)

I have had the phone a month and for probably the first week I was using the card in the ExFAT file

Hello! I am having an issue. I purchased a Sandisk 64gb micro SD for my S3. Here is the issue. I have done this formatted as both exFat and Fat32...I transfer music via iSyncr. I put the card in my computer. Transfer 25gbs of music. It works correctly, shows correctly. When I insert the card into my S3, it checks for errors. Go to storage and when formatted in exfat shows only 4gbs transferred.

Hey guys,

So I've done extensive testing ever since swapping in a new sandisk 32 gb sd card I bought on amazon. I cant link yet but the exact product is: SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A)

I cannot flash roms using this card or restore a nandroid.

Hi,

I formatted my external SDCard with 2 partitions, so I could use it with Link2SD. Since I am on a Mac I only could format the first one, which is FAT32. Now I need to format the 2nd with ext4 but I can only do this from inside the phone. Which is no problem, except I do not understand where I can find the device, I need to format.

iv spent 3 hours trying to do this with 2 different programs (easeUS and minitool) and iv got nowhere and after searching the web i find no help :(

i have a 32gb micro sd card in my phone

i plug phone via usb into computer

minitool finds the drive and shows 30gb fat32 space

i resize OR split this (iv tryed both) to give 27gb fat32 and 3gb unallocated

THEN i when i try to create a partition u

I tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard to format my android sd card, I split the first half to be fat32 and the second half to be ext4, when I do that though the ext4 partition doesn't stay... I even tried twrp to partition it, to no avail it said it wasn't able to create the ext4 partition but the fat32 partition was made successfully.

Just wanted some advice on formating my card to FAT32. My card is 32gb, about 22gb is being used. To format my card (which I assume will wipe it clean), what's the best way (and quickest) to transfer all of its current data to another location before formatting? And what do you recommend using (application) to format it?
