EDIT: Nevermind. I'm new to OSX and didn't realize that when I delete a file on the sd card it doesn't actually delete the file until I empty trash on mac.
I bought a 16GB Class 6 Adata micro sdhc card from Newegg several months ago. I never thought there was any issue with the card as it showed up as 16GB on my PC and in phone settings.
Yesterday the sd card memory was full which seemed weird since I knew I didn't have that much data on there. On my PC it said the sd card was 15.9GB full out of 16GB. I roughly added up the size of all the files on the SD card and it came out to slightly under 4GB. It appears my 16GB sd card is really a 4GB sd card.
Has anyone else had this experience with the Adata 16GB card from Newegg? I know it was a fairly popular buy.

Hey guys I`ve bought an Alpine and I want to put a 4GB SD Card in it??
Do you think, it works? Or is the maximium 2 GB, which works in Alpine?
CU
4 gb cards work......mostly.
I've used both the A-Data and the Transcend 4 GB cards on my Alpine. There is only one problem I've experienced. If your 4 GB card is less than half full (i.e. available storage is > 2gb), AND you've configured your camera to save the pictures you take to the SD card directly, then you may experience an error. The error simply says it can't save the SD card. If you card is more than 50% full of other stuff, then there is no problem using the camera application and saving your picutres directly to the SD Card.
I RARELY use my camera, so I really don't care. Plus, I have enough stuff on my SD card so that it never has more than 2 gb of available storage (i.e. its always more than half full). Consequently, this bug in the camera application is really not much of a nussiance.
ok, thank you very much for your reply...
It work, as I had a Kingston 4GB SD Card
without problems??
can you give me some more details about your sd card??
thank you
A 4Gb will work, but it does depend on the make - since, I'm guessing, cheaper makes use cheaper parts. Kingston and SanDisk seem to be pretty good.
I have a generic (samsung oem perhaps?) 4gb SD card and it works fine apart from it seems to be a tight fit in the slot. No problems with it as yet though.

I used a topram 4GB mini with adaptor and it did not work.
I then bought a Transcend 4GB MMC+ (plus) and it works like a dream.
I hope this helps you.
Watch out that the card is not a sdhc card. SDHC cards look like normally sd cards, but they dont' work on the Alpine.

all sdhc (high capacity) cards have "sdhc" sign so you can easily discern them
only the newest htc devices support sdhc cards
I'm using 4GB Tanscend SD Card with my alpine
and its working fine
Thanks to the advice here, I bought a 4Gb Transcend MMC plus and it works beautifully.
So much space is a real bonus as I have Tomtom maps of Europe, the whole of the USA, 6 or 7 full movies plus 20 or so albums worth of mp3's still with 500mb free for odds & sods.
Hi,
I am using a HAMA 4GB, and it is working more or less fine.
I don't know if it is a card issue or caused by the heat recently in Austria, but my Nav freezes from time to time.
I have to turn the 2020i off and then on, then it works again.
Some days ago, the card suddenly lost some data....
I have a SanDisk 4GB SD Card, however when I put it into my Alpine it doen't seem to recognise it. It just doesn't show up. Can anyone give me any hints on how to force it to look for it or something like that?
Hi all.
I have been trying to install CM7/gingerbread over the past couple of days to no availe.
First I tried my 16gb card and now I've tried my 4gb card. Unfortunately, I don't have any smaller, or non SDhc, cards around.
Tried holding the power button, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I have attatched a screen capture of the sd card contents. The "extra" folders at the top were not originally there, but were added when it launched into the normal OS.
One thing that came to mind is I have installed ClockworksMod to internal memory earlier. Could that be screwing up my being able to boot the SD card?

I found my Nook Color was very finicky about the card. It did not like the Transcend 4 GB class 6 that I had, but worked on some generic 2 GB card that I had leftover.
See if you can get a cheap brand name 2 or 4 GB card and try it with that.
Hi guys,
Have a brand new, shiny Galaxy Tab 7" from Telstra, Australia.
I have tried a 8Gb and 16Gb MicroSD card (formatted to Fat32 on my Win 7 laptop) and neither card is seen by the SGT.
When I check Settings/ SD Card..., for External SD Card shows Total Space unavailable, and Mount SD Card is dulled out, and says Insert SD Card
However when i physically eject the card, a Removed external SD card message is flashed in top bar.
I have a 2Gb micro SD card, formatted to Fat16, and it is recognised by the SGT no problems, and I can UNMOUNT it and format it.
Also, if I power off/on the SGT with the 8 or 16Gb card in the machine, I then 'lose' the internal 16Gb, and it shows as unavailable.
Remove the card, reboot, all is ok.
SGT stuffed or am I missing something???
Most probably SGT needs to be replaced. OR is unlikely that both your 8 or 16 gb cards corrupt (only time i haf your same issue when my nokia phone card broke).
I bought a 16gb from eBay and it didn't work so I bought another and that didn't work either.
Turns out they were fakes so I bought a decent 8gb and all is well.
What brand are the cards?

Hi everyone,
I own a Moto G 2nd LTE updated to Marshmallow. I mounted on the device a 64GB Class 10 QUMOX micro SDXC card and I adopted it as internal memory. Anything worked great until some days ago. The device says that the SD card was removed. Obviously isn't real, so after some tests the sd results fault. It works good for 30-60 minutes inserted on the device until the error message comes. So I bought a 64GB Class 10 Samsung EVO+ micro SDXC card to replace it. Now the problem is, how can I FULLY BACKUP all the files on the sd? Not just photos, music etc.. files that I can see on the pc, but all the encrypted data and application on it. How can I fully clone the sd?
Thanks in advance
Greetings!
I purchased a new SD card from SanDisk with 400GB.(didn't use my old one on this phone because of low storage size)
My problem is that i'm unable to copy/move/delete files to my SD card.
I can't even create a new folder.
I tried several explorers and activated the permissions for writing but no success.
I was also trying another SD card but the same problem.
If I format the card over my phone as internal storage the phone freezes, formatting as external storage is working though.
I also formatted the card on my PC but still the same issue.
Remounting the card in the settings sometimes works for a few seconds.(creating a folder,etc..)
My razer phone 2 has the newest FW with Android 9.

Heya buddy,
Just a quick enquiry, from where did you purchase your MICROSD? it sounds like you may have a fake card, the memory size is worrying indication, normally cards are sold in denominations of 32, 64, 128, 512,GB not 400 GB. Have you run a check to see if it's reporting the correct capacity size on a SD card checker. Sounds like it's a fake and when it tries to format, it goes into a loop state and crashes as the card is formatted over and over and over trying to reach the stated size but never reaches it due to it not being 400gb in size.
Sorry to spread the bad news, have had the same happen to me, I am so dam careful over which company I buy my cards from.
Let me know if I can help.
Yours

Phone says it has 393GB.
I bought it on amazon. Its a SanDisk Ultra 400GB that also appears on the official homepage. I'm pretty sure its not a fake.

Ok, that clears up the possibility of it being fake good good..
..hmmmmm. Do you have any old phones at your disposal that have a card slot? If so,. Try it in those and see if you can access it and read/write/modify files on it. Maybe format it with another device and then stick it in the razer and see if it works.
I'm sure now that cards a real deal as Amazon don't seem to allow frauds to be sold the only other thing I can think of is that it's a faulty card, it happens, they are just mass produced. Maybe a replacement if it's dudd.
I am having an SD card issue as well. I have had my Razer Phone 2 since last Monday brand new from Ebay. I purchased a Samsung 128GB class 10 (u3) SD card for it from Amazon. If I format the SD card as "internal", it shows that there is 131GB's of system files on my SD card. It shows I'm using 131GB's of storage from a total of 320GB's. The Razer Phone 2 has 64GB;s plus my 128GB SD card which would be 192GB;s total. I have tried many file manager apps, move to SD apps, etc and I cannot transfer any files. When I format the 128GB SD card as "portable", it shows the correct amount of storage space in both the phone and the card but once again I cannot transfer any files to the card. I have tried a 16GB SD card as well. The phone did recognize it and read the available storage on the phone and the card correctly. I did not format that card as I have music, photos and documents on it. I did try to transfer an app from my phone to the 16GB card and once again I could not do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and take care.
I have had similar problems with my Razer2. It ruined a 512g scandisk brand microsd card. Copying, or moving files, is a real problem for this device! It hangs up sometimes and ruins the files. Never had these issues, this bad, with any other phone
I have a bunch of music on my SD card, my music app sees some of them. If I move the whole folder to my phone storage, music app sees all. If I boot to twrp (per arters kernel) and try to backup to external SD card, it fails. If I save it to the phone, works fine. It's like it doesn't constantly see the SD card slot properly.
Exfat is needed with art kernel. Stock formats as vfat a old file system. I have a 400gb exfat formatted and works perfectly
I'll have to look into getting that kernal
