http://forum.xda-developers.com – 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 format...Then random card identification problems started to pop up. So I scoured the web for a short time and found that the issue could be solved by reformatting the MicroSD to FAT32 at the expense (HowTos)

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.

will any 64gb microsd card work in the note 10.1, i think i read somewhere the tablet is a bit picky about the card you use, i was looking at the Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 Micro SD Card, is anyone else using this with no problems?

I recently owned a HTC Desire with a 16GB MicroSD installed. After I bought my Galaxy S3 I didn't had another 16GB MicroSD card so I decided to keep it as a backup and use a 8GB MicroSD. After few weeks of usage I decided to put the 16GB card to use. I shut down my S3, popped out the 8GB card, copied it's contents to my WindowsPC, formatted the 16GB card to fat32 and copied the contents over.

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.

I tried this card before and the unit didnt seem to find it, it just showed at the bottom saying can be removed, but when i went to storage it wasn't there.

i put the card in my laptop and used guiformat to format it as fat32 but it shows as 29gb and not 64. the packaging says 64gb, am i missing something or do i have a wrong card in my packaging?

Compatible sd-cards? 39 weeks 3 days ago

What microSD-cards are you using, that are fully compatible with the TF300T?

I bought 2 cards recently, having issues with both of them. I just ordered a new card reader for my PC, hope that fixes the issues.

Card 1: Transcend 32GB Class 10 - Formatted to NTFS. Issue: Fully working on PC.

My case involves a Sandisk 32gb class 6 MicroSD card. Initially my S3 says that I have a blank card, but later it can detect the card again. For a few days this keeps on happening, on and off. Until the S3 continuously says the card is blank for a whole day.

Hi, i recently bought a 64GB Sandisk Ultra Microsdxc card for my Samsung Galaxy S III. When i used the Adapter to connect it to my Macbook, i couldn't read/write to its fat32, so i had to format it to something else, so i just chose ExFAT. I put some stuff on it, but now, two days later, the card is suddenly read only?
