SM-N9200(Hong Kong) Hard Drive issues - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have recently purchased an internationally unlocked 32GB Galaxy Note 5(Model No. SM-N9200). Unfortunately, I am running into a major issue with the phone. When I connect the phone to the computer the phone only shows that the phone only has a total of 4.17GB of space. When I go to the storage settings on the phone it shows that the phone has 32GB of memory, but once I reach the 4.17GB of files/applications the storage will show as being full. I am not sure how to fix this issue, and any help would be great.

storage card not installed on Tilt

Hi,
I bought a Tilt phone in the US and when I started to use it in the Netherlands (in Europe) I noticed all storage cards (tested 3) of SanDisk and 1 of Kingston do not work.
Making hard resets, changing the format and altering the registry regarding the wait and unload delay in HKLM\System\StoreManager do not help.
Because AT&T and Motion Wireless (which unlocked it for me) insured me I can get support directly from HTC if I should need it I do not want to change the ROM with unofficial updates (yet). Maybe I try to reload the latest official ROM hoping that works....
Hopefully somebody can help me before a ask for support from HTC directly?
Greetings, Ruben
Were you able to use microSD cards prior to taking the phone overseas? Also, please give specifics regarding which cards you have tried (ie manufacturer, capacity, etc).
I unfortunately didn't test any cards before taking the phone home, so I don't know. I tried 2 2GB and 1 GB cards of SanDisk and 1 1GB card of Kingston. I don't know any other information about the cards.
It seems you may have a hardware issue then. If you don't have the option to return it to AT&T, then you should contact HTC to find out you repair options with them.

Note 5 Wifi Failure ( gif in thread )

Hey Guys,
FINALLY found a store with a 64 gb T-Mobile note5 and I return my original 32 gb with joy, to return home to find the Wifi is completely broken.
Just wanted to check to see if anyone has seen anything like this before. I'm just stumped. The T-Mobile store I bought it from told me to hold on to it as they don't know when they will get more Note5's in 64gb.
I have included a gif of the problem and I just can't find a single thread to point me in the right direction.
(Fwiw: I have reset it numerous times, deleted caches, even odin'd the original stock Tmobile Note5 rom to see if it was software and still no go. )

It will stay connected until the moment I pull data from wifi etc and no matter what it just goes crazy like the gif. No matter what wifi network it is, even the T-mobile Store one was making it go crazy.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm also having problems with wifi connection my my vzw 64gb however nothing like this gif
Verizon Note 5 64gb

Can you keep a connection ? What issue do you have?

My G6 Shows 'Corrupt SD Card' Error but Fails to Format it

My G6 says that my SD card is corrupted, so when I go to format it the percentage completed immediately shows 20% then, after about 10 seconds, the formatting screen closes before it completes the format, and the whole time it shows that it's formatting it is always at 20%. Then my G6 acts as though there isn't an SD card in the phone, it only shows up again after I power cycle the phone. I have tested multiple MicroSD cards on this G6 and the same thing happens for every single one I tested, but I happen to have (limited) access to my mom's G6 and when I tested the same cards on her phone it says the SD card is corrupted, but successfully formats it and mounts it.
The MicroSD card that I would like to use with my phone is a 200gb SanDisk card.
Thanks in advance.
Update 7/2/2018
Hey, Can it be read/formatted in a computer with your sd adapter like a flash drive? if it can try reformatting it there then see if your device can recognize it. if it can't or it says corrupt / needs to be formatted and craps out... it's your SD card. it is the same one I had (probably..with red lettering on it?) That's the bad news, the good news is you can still go online and register it with SanDisk and they will send you a new one for free (cost of shipping to them the corrupt one, you have to pay.) But they will send a replacement, I think it took about 2 weeks to get one back.
Take care.

I can plug it into a computer and format it successfully, it works in literally every other device that I've tested it in, including my mom's G6. That's why I have a feeling that the problem is being caused by some sort of issue with my G6. I have tried factory resetting my G6 two times already and it failed to fix the issue. I want to root my phone, but my software version is H87211h, and the method mentioned here has (as far as I know) only been tested on devices running H87211g.
Hello there. I have same problem with my LG G6, It shows every SD Card as corrupt and tap to fix. when i try to fix and format it get stuck on 20% its been more then two months and i am unable to use the memory card on it..
There is nothing wrong with Memory cards , it is the problem with the LG G6 either it is software issue or may be due to the fact that i have changed the Sim Tray as my sim tray was broken... The Network sim card work fine only problem is the Sd Card.... If any one have the sim issue or any solution .. Please share.. Thanks

Same thing happened to me, my SIM Tray broke and I bought a replacement from Amazon and that's when the issue appeared.
I updated my G6 to Oreo and now it shows what command is causing the formatting app to crash. I've attached a screenshot.
OK, so with the new info (sd tray breaking) I think what happens is when the SD tray is breaking, it's getting caught up on the little pins inside that contact the SD card and bending them a bit, and then that pin or pins are screwed up so it can't read the SD, and because it detects that there is one in there, begins to format and go thru the sectors when it gets to the messed up pin it craps out because it's not reading anything so it's saying the card is corrupt at that point. You have to send it into LG for a warranty repair. I had to do this too. go on the website, register your device, tell them the SD tray broke inside and it won't read the SD card or the SIM, and you will get a repair number within 24 hrs or so. Send in the device and you will get it back about a week turnaround time.
Good luck.
Most every time I've had this issue has been after an update or switching ROMs or kernel update and usually the issue is the kernel.
So basically speaking if you have an SD card corruption after any of these particular events reflash your kernel first.
I just bought a new Samsung 256GB microSD. I copied everything from my old card onto my PC, then onto my new card, and then put the new card in my phone. Android says it's corrupt and needs formatted. I try to format it and it always gives an error saying the command failed. Put the card back in my PC (which now can't use the card either) and performed a format (without the Fast option). Android still says it's corrupt and always fails to format it. So I put my old card back in the phone, and now it says it's corrupt too...
I had noticed that when I first opened the tray door it was being janky and wouldn't come out but a half inch. After reading this and getting the error for my old card too I decided to take the tray all the way out. Wasn't easy getting it out and now it's broken. Or already was broken. I tried cutting off the broken part and put the tray back, but now it won't even see a card or my SIM. So I've ordered a new tray. Hopefully that will solve everything... Unless my pins are jacked up as suggested earlier....
Well, got a new sim tray, and now it can read the SIM fine, but every SD card still says corrupt, and it fails to format it each time.
Out of warranty -- I bet the repairs cost half what I paid for the phone (like $200, crazy sale, two years ago). Sigh.
Any other thoughts on this?
The same problem with my lg g6 dual , did you have solution ?
Thanks to everyone pointing out that broken tray that damages the pin's issue. Seems that exactly what happened to the phone I gave my mom. Little to no chance here in South Africa that we could get it repaired for any reasonable price. At least this thread stopped me hunting around for a solution to the "keeps-formatting" but not working issue. Bit of a waste that I bought a new memory card, but not the end of the world. Wasting a few hours on a lost cause is much worst.
So glad I found this...
Unfortunately I already bought a new tray to replace the broken one, but now at least I know not to spend hours and hours on an issue I couldn't possible fix myself...

Bold N1. I cannot access the SD card.

I moved my SD card from my Samsung S7 Edge to my new Bold N1 and got a fix SD card error, so it took me to the format screen and it got up to 20% formatted and the the phone rebooted. I retryed several times, but no luck. Since it is a 200 gb card I thought it might need a 128gb card so I got one and it didn't format or recognize it either. I put the new 128gb card and into my S7 Edge and was able to format it. I have not been successful in contacting Blu (who I bought the phone from). Has anyone had this problem, or have a suggestion? Thanks very much for any info. They have a short warranty period. George
Any update on the problem?

Hello, I've been having the same exact issue that you had, the phone getting to 20% formatted and rebooting, though I only used a 128gb card as that's the max size they have listed. As it's been a while, I was hoping to see if you had any update on the issue. -Ahten

I haven't ran into that issue yet. . .
I currently have two Bold-N1, that I purchased the same day that this cellphone were launched, and never have had any issue when using it with 64GB and 128GB SDcards (Sandisk a Samsung).

VOG-L29 SIM card not detected

Hi there,
i have a HUAWEI P30 Pro VOG-L29 and used it for almost exact two years now ... without major problems or any damages at all. Few days ago the SIM card stopped being recognized and the USB port can only be used to charge (no detection when connected to a pc). I already did a factory reset. After that the sim got recognized like it should and i could use the phne to make calls for about 12 h. After that everything went back to f*d up. The SIM card is being recognized in other phones and the fact the SIM card was recognized after the reset makes me assume this may be a software related problem. Can anybody help? I'd love to be able to use this phone as long as possible. Thank you very much in advance!
Is there anyone, who had any similar issues?
