Hey everyone. I started my ZR with an older (don't remember the brand) 8G class 6 memory card. All was fine for 2 weeks.
Then I bought a Kingstone 16G class 10. After 2 days, error message "SD Card unexpectedly removed". The card was dead, no computer could read it anymore.
I went back to the store and changed my card. Another Kingstone 16G class 10. After exactly 2 days, the same error. Card is completely dead. I cannot go back to the store, because they checked the second one and it was working fine.
I am sure the phone somehow destroys the cards. But the first one I used seems to be fine.
My question is: What memory cards do you use? Should I try a card with a different brand, a different capacity or a different class?
Thanks!

I'm now also using SanDisk 32GB UHS-I. Speed is very good and stable. I have 2 dead Kingston SD already so I would avoid them.

I did have a SD has been removed failure once but that i think i restarted and it was ok.
Using a SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSD Card 64GB Class 10 UHS 1 (not plugging SanDisk or anything. I just copy pasted from the email confirmation after I ordered it). Been over a month and no issues so far.
I think Kingston has issues. Bought a 16 gb one from them and it packed up in a week. My dealer replaced it and cautioned me never to buy them as though cheap, they're prone to failure. I then bought a SanDisk and have been using them ever since

I use a Samsung 32GB Class 10.
It's great, fast and didn't cost that much at the time. I think it cost me € 31,- at the time.
That was 1,5 years back or so and now there are really cheap.:highfive:
Big capacity and high speed, so you can watch series/movies on your ZR!
I use a Transcend 32GB class 4 and it's working fine without any problems.

What sdcard are you using now?
Previously I said my Sandisk 32GB class 10 card is fine. But after upgrading to 4.2.2, I was having similar issue as yours. First there was "SD Card removed unexpectedly" message appear. Today my card is not recognized by the phone anymore. Though it's still working fine in PC and other phone.
Similar issues have been reported by users of other Xperia phones as well. Some Xperia L users said the problem is fixed after upgrading their firmware which was released a few days ago.
im using samsung 32gb class 10 with no issues so far.
http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/memory-storage/memory-cards/micro-sdhc-plus/MB-MPBGC/CN
and im on 4.2.2
So it looks like it's a problem of class 10? Hmmm. I wish I knew the exact problem before I buy another one.

Using Sandisk 16gb class 10 Ultra HC - 0 problems,fast and stable
Last night I switched to my old Kingston 32GB class 10 because my Sandisk 32GB UHS-I can no longer be recognized by the phone, thought it still works fine in my PC and old phone. So far zero "unexpected removal" has been detected. Interestingly, I bought this Sandisk sdcard a few months back because the Kingston was not working properly in my previous phone (HTC Incredible S).
So this post starts to make sense. Maybe class 10 cards doesn't play well with smartphones after all.
I have a SANDISK Ultra microSDHC Card UHS-I, Class 10, 32GB for Android.
So far I have no problems with it, so I don't know if it's the same SD like you were using @itandy.
I have the same one too man but no problems here I've even been flashing back and forth between firmwares testing out different regions. If you still have the warranty you should try get a replacement.

I doubt it's the problem of my Sandisk card since it's working great in PC and in my old phone. In fact, when I first saw this post my reaction is the same. It must be your sdcard. But now I'm not so sure. I'm very surprised when I Googled about the issue and found many people are having similar issue with different Xperia phones. Specifically the latest Xperia L firmware fixed issue with class 10 sdcard too.

Saw this card on Newegg today. Pretty cheap for a Class 10 16GB card and reviewers state it meets Class 10 standards, and that it appears to be a rebranded Samsung card, so it is a quality product.
Android only supports Class 6, meaning this card should be plenty quick, and will utilize full Class 10 potential during file transfers over USB.

Wintec 16gb CL10
Just got the Wintec 16gb CL10 from Newegg, put it in my Sprint Hero to format and as soon as it finish saying setting SD card the screen locked up. removed battery/ installed and saw installed apps icons were gone in its places gear icon. Installed original 8gb and app icons were back but apps came up with FC. removed each app and reinstalled and they work fine now. I'm afraid to put the 16gb back in, it seems fine in my laptop. I have no idea whats wrong!
I got one of these around Christmas. Formatted, partitioned and transferred my stuff. I thought all was well until I had to restore a nandroid and it bootlooped. I put my old 8G Sandisk back in and haven't tried again. So my experience was it worked about a week. I guess it's a write/read issue. I had trouble with recovery mounting the card to even see my backups. I had read reviews of spotty quality and I guess I had the bad luck of the draw.
hmmm ok then I guess i'll pass on this one. I want to get one that'll last so i can transfer it to a new phone when i upgrade.
on htc website, it says microSD 2.0 compatable, & i know some phones can only support so much extra storage, ie: some say microSD up to 16gb, so maybe the hero doesnt support high capasity cards.
anybody got a conformation on how big a microsd card we can go, that wont cause issues.
i was looking @ this card in the OP, but now im double thinking.

If you mean the 32gb your gonna have to search cuz I've seen very few. Don't remember what brand,most that are 32 gb I've seen are class2. I have a class 10 8gb here and it runs slower in my phone than my class 6 does.Sorry I can't give you more info.My class 10 is a Patriot
I bought the wintech 16 gig card back in january and 15 days later I woke up and my phone said the sd card was not formatted. Both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 only saw the card as 1 gig but neither could format it nor create new partition tables. I lost all the data but luckily had a semi recent backup on my computer. RMA'ed it back to newegg and got a 16 gig class 6 card from a more reliable manufacturer.

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?

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.

My 16 gig kingston filled up quite rapidly after 2 weeks so I'm looking in getting a 32 or 64 micro sd but not sure what I shall get.
I see theres sdhc sdxc but not sure whats the differences.
I read theres issues with sandisk so I was thinking of either samsung lexar or kingston.
Also does the note 2 use the class 10 cards to its fullest as in its max read/write speeds?
I've read its pointless paying extra for the class 10 cards since the note2 dont use it to the fullest
Thanks in advance for any replies

sandisk 64gb class 10
The Note II can use a 64 gb sdcard. I would only use a class 10. Its way quicker tranferring files, or taking videos. Also you can use SD-Booster. Download from the Play Store. Its free. You can tell the sdcard at what speed to be ruiing at. 2048, 4096, etc, etc. Phone must be rooted to use.

I have and currently use the ScanDisk Extreme 64GB SDXC class 10 card. I haven't had, or at least noticed, any issues while using it. I just formatted the card right away when I installed in the phone.
You may want to install directorybind. I believe you need root. A lot of app install on the phone's storage, not on the SDcard. So you may want to check if your card or phone storage filled up. Other than that, I would suggest moving pictures and videos off your phone if you have a lot.

If you use a swap file on the SD card, it will go bad way faster than normal. I avoid using the card for a swap file.

about sandisk's bad reviews - a while back they had an ultrabad batch of cards that failed pretty consistently and they gained a bad rap for it - apparently they're better / fixed now, but fwiw, i've had every brand fail on me (literally; patriot, lexar, sandisk etc) but I might be the exception to the usage details as I'm swapping machines all day
My last card was a Lexar 32 c10 and it worked perfectly for over a year. It's now in my wife's G3. I've been using a Sandisk 64 c10 for the last few months and it's also working flawlessly. I think you're fine with either one.
i got the Sandisk 32 class 10
that is the first step to do to start using it now ?
format on computer or plug it to the phone directly ?

You could simply plug it in to the phone (while it's off of course) and format the card within the phone as well
