Hi all,
I have a Sandisk 32Gb micro SD HC (Class 4). <--- not sure if this competible with the NOTE. anyways, the problem I have as below.
Why I am looking problem into my sd card is that since I used my 32Gb card on my NOTE, my note seems getting hot when I use the files inside my card and the battery drain hella fast.
Case 1) I played a rmvb file format movie. Before I run it, my battery was like 90%, after it played like only 30 mins, it dropped to 70%. is it normal?!?! And at the same time, the back of my note is very hot, I believe it's of the memory card,
Case 2) When I move apps to SD, no matter one app or many apps having the same problem. which is my phone will get very hot, then restart itself, after restart, the singal is gone randomly.
Conclusion, is Galaxy NOTE compatible with the SD card I mentioned above?
sorry for my poor English.

Well.. It had nothing to do with the memory card.. I'm using the same 32GB scandisk.. I had no issues at all.. Try factory reset or do a full wipe.. If all else fails.. Samsung service center is you best bet.

I already did reset factory settings + erase sd card two times. I also brought my Note to Samsung, they gave my NOTE a new secondary motherboard which I donno what it is anyways. I still had the battery drain & hot back cover this morning while watching movies through memory card.

What kernel also rmvb might not be supported in codecs for hw accel so it might be eating cpu to run your vid and it will drain a bit of battery.
I donno about kernel thing. My Galaxy Note is still stock 2.3.6 without root. I am using MoboPlayer for rmvb playing. Just did another 30 mins playing, another around 20% battery is gone and the back of my NOTE is hot while playing.
have u tried the card in a other gadget?

Have you tried copying the movie to internal SD, removing the card, and playing the movie from internal memory?
If you still get the same behaviour then its more likely to be your phone heating up generally than anything else.
Mine gets quite warm when I have the WiFi on and am streaming video across my home network. Wifi + CPU/GPU intensive activities = heating, just like on any other device!
Also, try MX Player. Just in case its Mobo that is causing your problems.

I will try to copy the movie to my device i/o my card tonight and test.
I had MX Player before but I uninstalled it as it cant play my rmvb files.
about "note getting hot after new sd with tons of files":
this is due to the media server app indexing all your new files!
for example the gallery app creates a thumbnail of every picture on your SD!!!
this is as well the reason for high battery drain and a "hot" feeling (high cpu load while indexing) after a new rom flash...
if this persists over a few days (usually after a few hours the indexing is done) THEN you have a problem!
Class 4 read writes is very slow same as class 2. I switched mine to class 6 and never gets hot or affects battery as fast
checkout the link, theres a sale on class 10 32 gig. not pitching but wanted users to see

So, are you saying sd card reading speed slow will cause more battery usage and getting hot?
I got class 4 bcoz it's popular and easier to get. also I was told class 4 is enough for mobile
last night I walked by some computer stores and saw a new SD card (not sure if it new) Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32Gb (Class 6). Well, I donno if this is a good replacement to my current card - Sandisk 32Gb micro SD HC (Class 4).
The Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32Gb (Class 6) is about US$34.00
Should I change? Or just not much worth, and just save the money.
For media class 6 is better. Like photos and music etc. ...

I have the 64gb version of this card running on my note, I got it online from best buy for about $79 us (found it through heads up in galaxy note forums) . It has been an excellent card. I am a big fan of SanDisk they are quality cards and always perform at or better than their advertised specifications.. I'm not sure if it would be worth upgrading from a class 4 32gb to a 6 32gb unless you have another device to re purpose the old card. The performance difference is noticeable and might be worth it for shooting video etc.

So, is your 64Gb card Sandisk Mobile Ultra Class 6? It's abit expensive to me. I do have another old phone with 16Gb card already, not worth to replace with my old 32Gb card becoz I don't use thse phone much.
Sigh...Tough choice...
Thanks...
I was starting to panic. I ordered the Samsung 64 GB micro SD card just because I figured Samsung and Samsung would work together. It's been just over a day and my Note 3 was getting extremely hot. I initially thought about it permanently hurting the battery or the heat reeking havoc on my mother board or other internal parts. But it's seems to be cooling down as of this morning. I think the indexing is all done. If it starts again, I'll be looking for you though.

Okay, so I got a 32gb microsd the other day, copied all of my music (about 10gigs)
And low and behold.. I launch poweramp and it only recognized about 10% of my music. Impossible I thought to myself. I connected it to my PC again and I found that it just disappear.. I tried again but the same thing happened.
Is that a defect in the microsd? Has that happened to anyone else?
Nevermind.. I just gave the card back and got a refund. Going to buy a class 6 16gb instead.
Personally, I would sacrifice storage for speed. Class 6 16Gb is the way to go.
I can't stand class 4 and under cards anymore. Even the Gallery takes forever to load on those.

I'm probably going to get a SanDisk Ultra 16gb. It's weird that they don't give you the classification but I heard it's quite fast. (also sandisk has a good rep for reliability)
Hi,
I want to buy a micro SD : I have seen that the maximum storage for micro sd was of 16 GB.
Someone has already tested a 32 GB storage card?
If yes, Does it work correctly?
Thanks for your answer.
it's works i don't now how becouse i just test my friends card.
Sorry for my English
Maybe it's was on android 1.6 (max 16), but 2.1 should be supported with 32GB
well, i got my X8 only a week ago, it's my first smartphone.
seriously, what do you guys want to store with 32GB card?
i can't imagine what to store in such space, i figure one could make a portable toilet out of it and still got some more space.
Movies (avi, wmv, etc). HD photos from professional photocameras, hi fi music like wav. Download a lot of stuff with torrent client and else. 32 GB really need for me.

Question was not what I do with all that storage.
Is it possible to have 32GB card in X8 I think that it support up to 16GB ??
I couldn't tell you, because I've bought an 16GB card (class10).
With the price of a 32 GB microSD, I could not fool me.
I think that 32GB is more money then the Phone
You are able to mount 32GB card I've just checked it out but the results are horrible - 500 MB of freshly copied music on the card, and now it is showed as "damaged" on the notification bar. I wouldn't recommend it to you.

I think the X8 will also work extrem slow with a sd card of 16 or 32gb
And with 32Gb class10? The read/write speed is biggest?
I believe that is not a question of card's speed, but more of device's ability to comprehend such a huge space. Just like with enormous hard drives in older computers.
ok.. maybe this out of topic..
what brand of SD card with class 6 or 10??
n where to buy??
im just unable to find it in my country.
in my opinion, 32gb can be handle with very well if this SD card are good.
i mean good SDHC
i found it in my country, designed for camcorder and etc..
but price also different
i just want 8gb with class 10..
currently i have 8gb, no class
my quadrant almost same with droid x, so i think if i have good SD card i can overlap droid x.
where to buy???
32 gb for a phone is a lot of capacity
Im using 32gb sandisk class 2 memory card in my galaxy s initially when it was 2.1 it was slow. But now after 2.2 update its okay. Only startup and shut down process Will take long time. class doesn't matter on phone it matters only when data is to be transferred from pc to phone . Max transfer speed Will be 2mbps in class 2.

there's a lot of good brand to choose actually, personally i'm using transcend.
what city are you in? in Bandung, you can try BEC. i bought mine from kaskus though, it has almost everything we look for
class.. hmm IMO it's unnecessary to use such a high class card. class 6 (6MB/s) is sufficient enough, because android apps are usually not really big, only 10-12 MB at most so no need for such a large data transfer rate.
Has anyone had good success with the 32Gb card? I dont want to buy one if it's just gonna not work properly.
thanks
Won't work
Chances are, it wouldn't work.
The Xperia X8 currently only supports up to 16GB of memory. If you go higher than that you would experience problems. You might be able to make it work for a few minutes then it might not be able to read the mem card.
Hopefully, in future updates we could use 32GB cards.
I've searched around, no walk-arounds on this yet. If I were you, I'd stick with 16GB. That's a lot of storage!
My Korean Motoroli seems to be having big problems with the SDcard recently. Originally I had the factory-issued no-name 8gig class 4 in it and now I have some other no-name brand 16gig class 8 in it, but the problems still remain.
The phone will either "loose" many photos when I use the camera (not writing them to the card) or will even sometimes go to a black screen and then just reboot. Sometimes it even just simply hard-locks the phone requiring me to pull the battery.
What recommended bands/class of sdcard would fix this? Or is the problem something else?

Can I ask which ROM you are using? What sort of modifications youve done to the phone? I myself use the stock class 2 8GB and have never had many problems. Since you have the problem on multiple SDcards, it seems like a hardware problem. Bit if you are using a customROM, maybe somethings messing up there. More information would be helpful.

Well, I got the new SDcard (see above) and it seems to be a little better (slightly more responsive)... but the phone still locks up and and/or reboots when I take a photo sometimes. The chance of it happening seems to be less now, but it's still likely to happen.
Any other ideas? Have any other users had a similar problem to this?

Card type and class has much to do with camera quality and also video too.
Surprised there isn't more talk about this issue with all the sdcard issues we have. With HD recording and an 8mpxl camera it seems we need a better class card, I need to get a couple for my phones and I am trying to find the best buy on a samsung. My question for anyone who has experience is if I spend the money on a class 10 samsung, is it going to make a big noticeable difference? Will it stop a lot of the issues or is the issue more related to Android and even more so with XT720? Is there anyone who has upgraded who can answer? Seems it will but I would hate to spend the money and not get much improvement.

I am currently using a Samsung Class 10 16GB card that I ordered somewhere online. My main Issue always was with transferring media and this card tackles the problem with ease, I do not get black screen problems anymore. The camera seemed ok with no major differences that I noticed, but usual camera freezes have reduced. Overall I would suggest an upgrade.

Hi maruki, does it fix your sd card problem. I am also experiencing sd card problem when taking photographs or any activity that will require writing to sd card. (Downloading, etc) I am also suspecting it is a sd card issue and hoping the problem is not on our device. I also plan to buy new one since I am using the stock mem card that comes with the unit. I want to know if it worked for you.
by the way, setting the camera to lower resolution seems to fix the sd card writing failure in my case.
there is new type of sd card, UHS-1 which seem to to deliver a very high speed and write, topping any current sd card in market now as decribed here: http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/05/samsung-ultra-high-speed-microsd/
maybe when it's available I'll purchased one, also the best thing is that it can be used for swap ram to fix xt720 low ram problem. do you think so?
but I'm also not sure if these uhs-1 cards are compatible with xt 720 or not. If anyone plans to buy one when it's available please review after that i'll also do a review when I get one.
class 10
buy a class 10 memory card
Just got my fantastic new galaxy camera from john lewis - ITS AWSOME
It came installed with 4.1.2 so straight away could play
Question however I have put in the camera my class 4 32gb sandisk memory card and notice I get occasional stutters between shots or when im reviewing can take a little time
Question is a class 6 Samsung 32gb card going to stop the stutter
The camera is smooth as silk when im going between screens etc but I have noticed a little slow down during
picture taking and review ..
I love the Samsung remote view software its awesome and it works perfect on my phone
the picture on my phone is a little pixelated but when I take the shot I can view the pic on my camera and also mobile and its perfect
I am well impressed and cant get out in the snow tomorrow
Thanks in advance
Chris
Any suggestions ?

In theory, the faster the better but having said that, I noticed a micro stutter or two AFTER I updated to 4.1.2 with the same card in place. So it may not necessarily be anything to do with the card you have.

Hello @mancuk29, was the class 6 micro SD better? I don't know wich one to buy.

Don't waste time and money on a class 4 or 6 Micro SD card.
You need a Class 10 minimum for recording full HD video or that won't work and you won't get any stutter or lag from a 10 as the write speed is high enough for the 13MP or above to write the picture to the memory card.
You can spend more money on the Samsung ultra card but they are more for higher transfer of bigger files i.e. 1GB or above on a laptop or Chromebook. As the GC is using fat32 file system, it won't support transfer of files over 1GB in size. You would need to use NTFS file system for that. But as a photo won't (or never should be) over 1GB in size, then a normal Class 10 Micro SD card will suffice.
Hope this helps.
I'm rooted and have the newest update.
I am using a Sandisk 32GB memory card that I used in my Note 3 for the last year with no issues.
Every once in while, the Note 4 shows that the Sandisk card was removed without being unmounted.. and then after 30-60 seconds, remounts itself. It has done this now 3x today. Once while laying on a table untouched and once while I was using the camera to take pictures. I checked and the card is totally seated properly.
One thing I did notice.. when I went to install the newest update with Kies, it told me to unmount the SD card... and I clicked unmount a few times, and it wouldn't unmount.. So I had to shut down the Note and take out the card while it was off.
Has this happened to anyone? Any ideas how to fix this?
Try cleaning the contacts on your card with a pencil eraser.
I've seen that on my old GS3, be very careful, few weeks later I started getting errors on SD card and then SD card no longer worked with complete loss of data. One card I was able to revive after full format, nothing could be done with the second one. I suspected either something wasn't connecting properly inside or some software issue, I also suspect that the card gets corrupted, when unmounting happens during write cycle and if phone updates headers or directory entries when this error happens, that's when you loose the whole card. I never had this happen on my Note3, hate to see this coming back on Note 4.

Yeah I'm actually getting this too. It would just randomly unmount and remount when the card is being used. I thought ibfixed it by checking for errors but it came back lol. Hope a real fix is found soon.
Ps - was using a 64gb SanDisk on my note 2 for a year no problem.
More than likely, the SD card is going bad. You better backup asap!
These are precisely the signs of the card before it kicks the bucket. I've owned several SanDisk cards and never again will I go with them. As I've mentioned before on these forums SanDisk cards are very weak in its integrity and are no longer of decent quality. The problems you're facing is proof of that.
Go with a Samsung card. The Pro series. It's the best you're going to get. Lexar is good too, but pricey.
Most pro photographers will say SanDisk is the "yugo" of sd cards.

My only real question is, why it's happening right as I swap it to the new Note 4? I am very careful with my devices, and i did not even touch the gold connection part. Bummer
I had this problem until I formatted it using the note 4. So I'll wait and see.
Try samsung sd card evo.

Yup, just came back to report this. I was like f it, im just gonna format. After formatting, all issues are now gone. I will report back if it does return.
ps - i did do the test on it afterwards by taking like 30 pictures and browsing them in the gallery. Prior to the format, it would always unmount 100%. Now it browses with no issues.

I'm rooted and have the newest update.
I am using a Sandisk 32GB memory card that I used in my Note 3 for the last year with no issues.
Every once in while, the Note 4 shows that the Sandisk card was removed without being unmounted.. and then after 30-60 seconds, remounts itself. It has done this now 3x today. Once while laying on a table untouched and once while I was using the camera to take pictures. I checked and the card is totally seated properly.
One thing I did notice.. when I went to install the newest update with Kies, it told me to unmount the SD card... and I clicked unmount a few times, and it wouldn't unmount.. So I had to shut down the Note and take out the card while it was off.
Has this happened to anyone? Any ideas how to fix this?

I've seen that on my old GS3, be very careful, few weeks later I started getting errors on SD card and then SD card no longer worked with complete loss of data. One card I was able to revive after full format, nothing could be done with the second one. I suspected either something wasn't connecting properly inside or some software issue, I also suspect that the card gets corrupted, when unmounting happens during write cycle and if phone updates headers or directory entries when this error happens, that's when you loose the whole card. I never had this happen on my Note3, hate to see this coming back on Note 4.

Don't know if you guys checked out the SD card thread but we mentioned this . For me and some others Samsung devices don't play well with SanDisk cards. I burned through 3 of them on my note 2 with the same issues you guys have. Back up now! Because those cards will die soon. You can Google it Samsung and SanDisk card errors and you will find many many threads. This time around I learned and got a Samsung evo 64gb for about $39 on Amazon. Just a heads up.

I read the thread you mentioned, but this same Sandisk SD card worked perfectly fine in my old Note 2, so maybe it's a recent issue of the newer phones. that were released after Note 2. I got a Samsung Pro 64GB for about 10 dollar more on Amazon.

It's so weird they work for a while then die. All I know is I'm going to avoid SanDisk cards in Samsung phones at least.
rofl, so my co-worker had gotten a free 32 GB Samsung sd card from samsung with his new S5. I told him lets do a switch with my 64 GB Sandisk Class 10. We tested it to make sure it works fine on his phone and of-course it does. The samsung card is also quite a bit faster than the Sandisk I gave him. We both did a bench. Its a win win in my books lol.
I've had several micro sd cards faulter on me, resulting in unrecoverable data and every one of them were SanDisk. I'm staying away from SanDisk like the Ebola virus!
