My phone won't read my micro SD Card. Can't Mount it either. The card is good since I tried 4 different ones and they work on my wife note 3. It may be a hardware issue. But looking for another solution. Anybody have any idea what could I do to fixed? I tried 2gb.4gb.32gb but none work in mine note 3. Thanks in advance

Sandisk Ultra 64gb micro sd write speeds just tanked.

So I was loading my SD card up with music. About half way through the transfer stopped. At that time I was roughly 50% through the transfer . Up until that point I was getting write speeds of between 6mb-11mb/s . Then half way through the transfer seemed to stall out . After a min or two it resumed. After it resumed I was getting between 600-999KiB/s
Any idea what could cause this ?
Did you format the SD card in your pc, phone, or just pop it in and go?
From Dante's Inferno via XDA Premium HD
Given that you are having problems I would format it in a computer using exFAT format with quick format turned off so that the card is fully tested. There could be issues with the card itself and this would help identify that.
And then order the Samsung card...
Back up all our info . card is gonna take a **** soon.

Backup whatever you have on that SanDisk and get a Samsung or another dependable brand. I've learned my lesson on 3 SanDisk cards that clunked on me, causing to me to lose unrecoverable data each time. I got a Samsung Evo.
Where did you get it from and how much did you pay? It could be a fake.
I'm using a SanDisk 64gb extreme ultra which to my mind is the only suitable card for the note 4. I'm getting write speeds of 44mb on average.

I got a samsung 64gb class 10 USH-1 card and works great. I had a SanDisk 32GB class 4 for about 2 to 3 years...still works great but not on the note 4 lol. Video took a long time to "process " also with pics and the gallery....I noticed a huge difference in soeeds

New sandisks are crap. I've had 2 fry out on me. Samsung from now on.
I have had 2 Samsung and 3 SanDisk fry. Back up your stuff and just pray.

^^ What he said.. Stick with the Samsung card, you paid a boatload for a flagship phone, don't save a buck on the SD card.
I'm using a Samsung 64gb UHS-1 card, works great. The Sandisk UHS-3 64gb card is like $40 on Amazon right now. I think that's a heck of a deal. I just want to upgrade to a 128gb not to another 64gb.

Quick Question: Where to Buy Note 4 GB GB Model for T-Mobile...???

So my freind is bummed she cannot unlock her bootloader and root/rom her At&T Note 4. She is so bummed she wants me to buy her a Note 4 T-Mobile and root/rom it for her and she will switch to T-Mobile once I do so.
That being said I know they sell a 64GB Model instead of the 32GB but T-Mobile will have none of it. They say that's not an option and they only sell the 32GB. Pfffffff. I know it's out there but a quick search on eBay, Amazon even Craigs finds nothing
Anyone have any ideas where I can get one?? Last year I saw someone with it, using it, and it was custom themed with a rom and root on t-mobile. He got one and said they are hard to come by but are out there.
HELP! Where can I get her one?

You don't really need the 64GB.....I have a 32GB and bought a 64/128GB sd card, that's all you need!

Well, like me she has had android a lot and has a few hundred apps - maybe not as many as me but a lot still. The issue is on 32gb, it fills up with apps then u gotta one by one move to sd move to sd and its a PAIN IN THE ASS
If she has 64gb internal would not be an issue. She kinda does need it and yes I plan to put 128 external sd card

I'm not sure if you going to find a 64 version.... It's very rare or probably a limited edition....SD card slot was the main reason why the device came with 32GB internal storage! Good luck

I suppose you could install cm13 and use the adoptable storage with the sd card then if it really is that big a problem

Ummmm why would I post something if I am not serious unless I put jkjk I am definitely not kidding.
32 GB does not hold all the apps that will install, so most must be moved to SD card (external SD) and that is a one by one process. Unless you know of a batch move or move all to SD where I can do them all with a few clicks instead of one by one then I really need the 64GB model
Samsung says they make it - chatted, emailed and called them but they say they do not have a dealer list of who sells them - but they have been making them a while now
so someone has to carry the 64GB model???
WHO? I have scoured the internet and found sh*t
64gb note 4 is a myth in USA, maybe somewhere overseas they make the 64gb international version but even that seems rare.

Note 5 64GB is available for TMO
Have you called T-Mobile, or only asked in store? If it exists it probably was never available in store.
Trust me, the 32GB is enough. I have about 250 apps on my Note 5 and I am barely hitting 10GB of app storage usage. Also have a Note 4 with 32GB internal storage plus a 128GB microSD card in it and barely used the card. If you are into taking 4k video or wanting to put your movies on your phone, that's where more internal storage comes in handy. If not, then 32GB should be more than enough to do the job. As far as a 64GB note 4, Samsung only made a 32GB note 4, the only reason why they made a 64GB note 5 is to replace not having an microSD slot in it.

What does recall do to promo offer if I don't stay with Samsung?

If I opt to return the Note 7 and switch to a different phone, will they ask for the microSD card back as well?
No.

I have 256GB internal storage and a 64GB microSD card. Will probably upgrade to a 256GB once the price drops. Having a 400GB microSD Card seems overkill for somebody who has 256GB internal storage
had it for months

As someone who has had their last 4 phones die on him I can tell you that no amount of internal storage is going to replace my need for removable storage. That said I have 64 GB internal and a 64 GB microSD card. Looking to upgrade to a 128 GB or 256 GB soon.
Agreed, give me as much external storage that can be made.

important thing is which class it is. like R/W speeds must be fast if you are going to use that sd card

Currently using the 256GB card from the Note 7 pre-order and I am becoming afraid to buy anything larger because who knows how much longer we will be using these cards. Manufacturer's like One+ and Google don't have Micro SD support and I would kick myself so hard if I shelled all that money out for something a future device can't even use.

Samsung already tried that and came back. I think we are pretty safe to bet on Samsung keeping the slot for awhile. I won't buy another phone without removable storage. I've lost so much on my last 4 phones that died, one being a Nexus 6P with no external storage.

Yeah, Samsung is keeping our expand-ability for now, just like with the headphone jack. They want (atleast for the note devices) to be seen as the premium devices for professional work and power users so I think they will keep that draw over more mainstream-focused devices like the Pixel who is directly competing with the iPhone for that userbase.

Well, that was a sort of an experiment, they got the results, and they decided to re implement the sd card, as the note 5 was not very well received
Developing anything that would make a good flagship "Note" device any step closer to being handicapped like an iPhone is a bad experiment going in the wrong direction to begin with. I only bought a Note 5, because my Note 4 screen broke (and the repair costs justified replacing the unit). I'm still surprised that the Note 5 progressed past the prototype phase without the MicroSD card slot.
