[Q] Mysterious Issues with Patriot microSD card

I recently bought a Patriot 16GB Micro SDHC LX Class 10 card for my I9000 Galaxy S. The one problem I have had is that it does not recognize my card at all. I have done everything from FAT32 formatting to formatting as FAT32 without LBA. However, I do not believe that the microSD itself is faulty. My old Nokia E63 can read and write to this microSDHC perfectly well, even though the E63 officially only supports cards up to 8 GB. Windows can also read and write to the microSDHC card perfectly. Is there any known issues with Galaxy S and Class 10 cards? I thought Galaxy S can support any microSD card up to 32 GB. I have contacted Patriot to return the card but I'd rather get it working if possible. I am currently using an old 8 GB class 4 kingston microsdhc on the galaxy S and it works well. So, it seems that there is some incompatibility between the Galaxy S and specifically the Class 10 Patriot because they both work well independently.
1. Does anyone know why this happens?
2. I am now looking for another good microSD card, with at least 16GB. Is there any that is recommended and definitely known to work with Galaxy S?

I used a class 4 Trancend 16GB and now I am using a class 10 Kingston 32GB without problem...

HI
Just a comment about Patriot Warranty be very patient it took me 2 months and lots of *****ing to get a replacement

I don't think so. I have the same Patriot SDHC 10 class 16GB on my Galaxy SCL (i9003) and they work perfectly fine with each other, apart from 3 damaged images from the gallery so far. Anyway, they it does recognise the card.

You might be right, I filed a request last week and I am still waiting for them to contact me. Sad, because my Patriot USB Drive works great. Bad Customer service from Patriot.

I was initially wondering if it had something to do with the ROM I am using. I tried the card using Cyanogen 7.1.0-RC1 and now with Darky's EE 10.2 JVQ, but no luck. Plus, it doesn't make sense that the ROM would have something to do with this.

SDXC in the HTC Velocity

Can anyone confirm that microSDXC cards work in these phones before I buy a 64GB card?
And if you are using one, would you recommend the brand you have? I tend to just stick with SanDisk but the SDXC cards are pretty pricey

Hi,david
Did you ever find out if the 64gb card worked?

After we ran the news of the new cards we quickly learned that many smartphones including the Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Sensation 4G, ASUS Transformer tablet and more all work with 64GB MicroSDXC cards.

If they work for those then why not the Velocity.

I have not tried yet, money was tied up, but from what I have read they should work... I have no concrete knowledge yet though, it would be nice if it just said microSDXC on the htc site.

From what I have read, the default format won't work, but will after formatting to fat32.

sdxc works!
okay just so everyone knows..i purchased a sandisk 64gb micro sdxc card and my htc raider reads it just fine. when i first booted up the phone it gave me an sd error, then asked me if id like to format the card, and voila! i think the card came unformatted, thats all. ive got music, videos, files, and games all on it now and havent had a single issue. so yes, sdxc definitely works in this phone.

[Q] SanDisk 32GB Mobile Ultra MicroSD microSDHC

Would this card work with the international Galaxy Note GT-N7000?
I plan on buying a Note pretty soon, but I am confused as to which memory cards are compatible.
I am not yet allowed to paste outside links, but the card can be found on eBay India as Sandisk 32GB Mobile Ultra microSDHC. The part number is SDSDQY-032G-U46A.

Hello,
The 32gb microsd card works perfectly on the Note. You can even go bigger if you want to.
In that case (64gb for example) you'll have an error message. Just ignore and reformat the card
Inside the note and you'll see that your 64gb microsd works and shows something around 59gb
Of space.
Have fun with your Note! I'm new coming from iPhone and I'm so glad with my new Note

Yes buddy it should work just fine unless really bad luck due to manufacturing defect.. Any hardware has minor risk of being a lemon so do look for one with warranty since most of these cards atleast come with year warranty.. 32 should be good enough but if got budget might consider 64 gb one if they have as well! Enjoy noting will surely make you Samsung fan..

Thanks for the help.
I would love a 64GB card, but budget is a severe restraint. Maybe later.
Lets see how I get along with the 32GB first. If it isn't enough, I can always upgrade later.

Memory Card related queries
Hello Friends.
Firstly, I sincerely apologise to the OP if he/she feels I have hijacked his/her thread.
Since I have a very basic set of queries, it would not suffice to create a thread and clutter the sub-forum.
I have a SanDisk 16GB microSDHC Class 4 memory card which I purchased to use with my Galaxy Note.
Is it a standard practice to format the memory card before using it the first time?
Also, in the event the memory card does need formatting at some point in its life span, should it be formatted on the device (Galaxy Note) or a computer?
What file system is recommended?
I thank you for having constant patience with my naive behaviour.

To op, I have the 32gb version of that card and it works flawlessly. I had a 16gb class 10 sandisk in it previously but had occasional issues where the card would need reformatting haven't had any problems with this one at all. I would recommend buying from reputable dealer, lot of fakes around.
please hit thanks if i helped

[Q] S3 mini and 64GB SD?

Apologies if this has been covered. The mini is specified to support 32gb only, has anyone tried a 64gb in it / know why 64 might not be supported?

I think it works. Maybe its some lagging.

It will only recognise it as a 32gb will it not?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 mini

I use a 64Gb Sandisk. Works fine.

Thanks all for your comments.

few people on this forum already confirmed that the 64GB are working fine,but all of them were using either SanDisk or Samsung 64GB microSD's...
so it works fine with those 2 brands, dont know about the other brands but im sure it will work fine with the major microSD producers outhere(Kingston,Verbatim etc)

SD cards?

Should I go with a Samsung card for my 8.0 or is ok to use other makers cards, specifically talking about the ultra, extreme types. I want something fast but compatible.
Thanks in advance!

I have been looking for a 64g SD card for my samsung tab 3 7". After reading many reviews on amazon I have discoverd a few things you might want to consider.
1. Anything over 32 gig is a whole different world for sd cards an compatibility especially for Samsung tab 3's
2. I don't know about other brands but sandisk seems to have formatting problems with android. They sell several different 64gig cards and some come with a warning that reformatting in the mobile device will leave the card unusable.
2. There are a lot of counterfeit 64gig cards out there and even though people are complaining about it, Amazon continues to sell them. Read the reviews carefully.
3. I don't know if the tab3 can utilize the class 10 cards that claim 30 mb per second.
I just started looking into getting a 64gig card for my tab 3 and my information is still incomplete as to what to get. All I can suggest is read, read read... There are some shifty deals out there.
I hope someone that has more knowledge about this subject will chime in as I am somewhat confused about the best card to go with.

Copy that. Thank you very much or the input, I was also just reading about the counterfeit cards that Amazon is selling in the reviews for some cards and elsewhere. I'm not sure why or how they would continue to sell them knowing that they are fake! I am seriously thinking about just going with one of the nicer Samsung cards and be done with it.

3. I don't know if the tab3 can utilize the class 10 cards that claim 30 mb per second.

I'm using one on my tab 3 right now, it's only 8gb though but. But the read speed is 24~30mb , write speed is 10~12 mb/s.

it's ok to use other SD cards
but if you want the fastest, always buy an SDHC or i can say a class 10 SD card
anybrand seems fine like sandisk, patriot, kingmax, etc.

Running a SanDisk 32 c10. Movies and data stream fast and easy. Not benchmark but no hesitation.

So no problems with anyones non Samsung card not being recognized by your device or in particular your recovery?

I just purchased 2 transcend 64gb sdxc cards for my tab and my phone. I read the reviews before I bought them and they said it would work. So far ive had no problems in either device. I have about 45 gigs filled on the tabs card with no read or write errors.

Cool, Good info. Thanks

Just to update its been 2 weeks now and the cards are doing great. I read the reviews before I bought and they said the transcend was very compatible with devices and since samsung is so picky I liked hearing that. Also a lifetime warranty is great too. Proof of purchase is necessary but since I purchased thru amazon I always have a record.

Amazon has the sandisk 32 & 64gb ones on sale for $22.82 and $48.62.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009QZH7BU

Just so you know sandisk and samsung dont mesh well together. Check google and you will find tons of info on this issue.

I'm using a Kingston 64gb class 10 just after 3 months of usage it got corrupt, all my files weren't working but the card can be read when you put it in, formatted it a lot on the tab and on the laptop with the card reader. I'm a noob and didn't do research cause the card was given to me from my girlfriend, at a stand still now trying to find the right tool to fix my SD card and no luck so far
