Hi everyone,
I own a Moto G 2nd LTE updated to Marshmallow. I mounted on the device a 64GB Class 10 QUMOX micro SDXC card and I adopted it as internal memory. Anything worked great until some days ago. The device says that the SD card was removed. Obviously isn't real, so after some tests the sd results fault. It works good for 30-60 minutes inserted on the device until the error message comes. So I bought a 64GB Class 10 Samsung EVO+ micro SDXC card to replace it. Now the problem is, how can I FULLY BACKUP all the files on the sd? Not just photos, music etc.. files that I can see on the pc, but all the encrypted data and application on it. How can I fully clone the sd?
Thanks in advance

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm new to OSX and didn't realize that when I delete a file on the sd card it doesn't actually delete the file until I empty trash on mac.
I bought a 16GB Class 6 Adata micro sdhc card from Newegg several months ago. I never thought there was any issue with the card as it showed up as 16GB on my PC and in phone settings.
Yesterday the sd card memory was full which seemed weird since I knew I didn't have that much data on there. On my PC it said the sd card was 15.9GB full out of 16GB. I roughly added up the size of all the files on the SD card and it came out to slightly under 4GB. It appears my 16GB sd card is really a 4GB sd card.
Has anyone else had this experience with the Adata 16GB card from Newegg? I know it was a fairly popular buy.
Hi guys,
Have a brand new, shiny Galaxy Tab 7" from Telstra, Australia.
I have tried a 8Gb and 16Gb MicroSD card (formatted to Fat32 on my Win 7 laptop) and neither card is seen by the SGT.
When I check Settings/ SD Card..., for External SD Card shows Total Space unavailable, and Mount SD Card is dulled out, and says Insert SD Card
However when i physically eject the card, a Removed external SD card message is flashed in top bar.
I have a 2Gb micro SD card, formatted to Fat16, and it is recognised by the SGT no problems, and I can UNMOUNT it and format it.
Also, if I power off/on the SGT with the 8 or 16Gb card in the machine, I then 'lose' the internal 16Gb, and it shows as unavailable.
Remove the card, reboot, all is ok.
SGT stuffed or am I missing something???
Most probably SGT needs to be replaced. OR is unlikely that both your 8 or 16 gb cards corrupt (only time i haf your same issue when my nokia phone card broke).
I bought a 16gb from eBay and it didn't work so I bought another and that didn't work either.
Turns out they were fakes so I bought a decent 8gb and all is well.
What brand are the cards?

Hi can someone tell me if my note 4 already comes w SD card? I'm out of storage all of a sudden and not sure what or if or what kind of card to buy. Will this mame the phone faster. So slow lately.
Also, if I do buy one not sure size, brand, etc.
Thanks guys
No, the note 4 does not come with an external SD card. It has 32gb of internal storage and if you filled that up then you will have to buy an external SD card. Just buy either a 16 or 32 or hell even a 64gb SD card....brand wise I guess San disk that's what mine is and I've never had issues with any of mine.
The Note 4 supports SD cards. You'd have to buy one that suites your needs.
On another note, have you tried clearing your cache? Checking out what is taking up all your memory? Might want to check these first.
Note for does support SD card. I have a 128gb SD card on my note 4 that works like a charm.

Samsung is known to have problem with sandisk cards. For peace of mind stay with samsung brand of sd cards. Putting card in phone wont solve your problem instantly. You will need to do some work first. Move all your pictures, videos and music to sd card to offload internal storage. Use aplication manager and move some of yours apps to sd card. Setup your canera aplication to use sd card while taking pictures. Use Smart Manager to clean unnecessary files.

Hello,
I have a Moto G6 Play.
I was using a Lexar 128GB micro SD but the SD card does not work anymore so I bought a Verbatim 256GB micro SD card.
The Verbatim card is recognized and formated by my phone with its full capacity but if I copy my MP3 library on it, only the half of the library is usable.
I have tried to format and copy in differents ways (on my phone, on a PC) but the problem is the same.
Afterwards, I saw on the Motorola website that the maximum capacity of a SD card that works with the Moto G6 Play is 128 GB.
My question :
Is there a way to make the 256GB micro SD card to work on the Moto G6 Play?
Thanks for your help!

Have you tried splitting it into multiple partitions?
I am currently using a SanDisk 256gb MicroSD card in my Motorola G6 (non play) with no issues.
Where did you get this "verbatim" MicroSD card from? I know there are a ton of counterfeit SD cards out there right now. I know there is a fake 512gb Verbatim going around from places like Wish too. When the price is to good to be true, it's because it is. If you paid under $40, it's probably bunk. They will appear to have their stated storage, even when plugged into a PC. What they do is delete stuff to make room for the new in a cycle.
+1 here for using a 256GB card, in my case it's a Samsung Evo+ card in the "standard" G6. No partitions or funny business required, I just removed it from my Samsung Galaxy S8 that I was retiring and put it into the G6 where it's working from the get-go.
I am posting this here because I too was curious about this before I bought my G6 and was seeing conflicting advice. Personally I would agree that any issues with the 256GB card is probably down to a defective or counterfeit card.
Every model of the G6 should support sdcards over 256gb. If formatted as external storage the G6 series uses exfat, which has a volume size limit of 128 petabytes. They don't even make cards that big... yet. If formatted as internal storage I forget which it is, but it uses either f2fs which has a limit of 16TB, or ext4 which has a limit of 1 exbibyte. If you really wanted to throw a 1TB card in there, you could.

Does the phone actually let you use all 256gb?

Yes, it does - apart from the obvious formatting overheads and rounding inherent to media such as this.
+1 for card being fake 256GB, I use Samsung Evo 256GB with no issues
When all else fails, be sure to use the SD Card Formatter released by the SD Association. It is the de facto standard for low-level SD memory card re-formatting.
I suggest to use Minitool Partition Wizard --> initialize SD card to MBR (by right - click on the appropriate drive) --> close MPW --> Reboot System --> Open SD Card Formatter --> full format (check the box) SD Card. This will restore and optimize blocak-size, fs-formatting and partition configuration to get the best performance. The above process also will reveal the actual size of the card.
Note: Powering of the system, disconnecting any batteries, and removing the card prior to performing above process is ideal as hardware and software can fall into non-typical states in the course of operation.
Warning: A fake card may brick by performing these process' but then again it was going to be useless anyway.
Greetings!
I purchased a new SD card from SanDisk with 400GB.(didn't use my old one on this phone because of low storage size)
My problem is that i'm unable to copy/move/delete files to my SD card.
I can't even create a new folder.
I tried several explorers and activated the permissions for writing but no success.
I was also trying another SD card but the same problem.
If I format the card over my phone as internal storage the phone freezes, formatting as external storage is working though.
I also formatted the card on my PC but still the same issue.
Remounting the card in the settings sometimes works for a few seconds.(creating a folder,etc..)
My razer phone 2 has the newest FW with Android 9.

Heya buddy,
Just a quick enquiry, from where did you purchase your MICROSD? it sounds like you may have a fake card, the memory size is worrying indication, normally cards are sold in denominations of 32, 64, 128, 512,GB not 400 GB. Have you run a check to see if it's reporting the correct capacity size on a SD card checker. Sounds like it's a fake and when it tries to format, it goes into a loop state and crashes as the card is formatted over and over and over trying to reach the stated size but never reaches it due to it not being 400gb in size.
Sorry to spread the bad news, have had the same happen to me, I am so dam careful over which company I buy my cards from.
Let me know if I can help.
Yours

Phone says it has 393GB.
I bought it on amazon. Its a SanDisk Ultra 400GB that also appears on the official homepage. I'm pretty sure its not a fake.

Ok, that clears up the possibility of it being fake good good..
..hmmmmm. Do you have any old phones at your disposal that have a card slot? If so,. Try it in those and see if you can access it and read/write/modify files on it. Maybe format it with another device and then stick it in the razer and see if it works.
I'm sure now that cards a real deal as Amazon don't seem to allow frauds to be sold the only other thing I can think of is that it's a faulty card, it happens, they are just mass produced. Maybe a replacement if it's dudd.
I am having an SD card issue as well. I have had my Razer Phone 2 since last Monday brand new from Ebay. I purchased a Samsung 128GB class 10 (u3) SD card for it from Amazon. If I format the SD card as "internal", it shows that there is 131GB's of system files on my SD card. It shows I'm using 131GB's of storage from a total of 320GB's. The Razer Phone 2 has 64GB;s plus my 128GB SD card which would be 192GB;s total. I have tried many file manager apps, move to SD apps, etc and I cannot transfer any files. When I format the 128GB SD card as "portable", it shows the correct amount of storage space in both the phone and the card but once again I cannot transfer any files to the card. I have tried a 16GB SD card as well. The phone did recognize it and read the available storage on the phone and the card correctly. I did not format that card as I have music, photos and documents on it. I did try to transfer an app from my phone to the 16GB card and once again I could not do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and take care.
I have had similar problems with my Razer2. It ruined a 512g scandisk brand microsd card. Copying, or moving files, is a real problem for this device! It hangs up sometimes and ruins the files. Never had these issues, this bad, with any other phone
I have a bunch of music on my SD card, my music app sees some of them. If I move the whole folder to my phone storage, music app sees all. If I boot to twrp (per arters kernel) and try to backup to external SD card, it fails. If I save it to the phone, works fine. It's like it doesn't constantly see the SD card slot properly.
Exfat is needed with art kernel. Stock formats as vfat a old file system. I have a 400gb exfat formatted and works perfectly
I'll have to look into getting that kernal
