Re: Micro SD Card Problems

---

Thanks all for advice. I think the card went bad. I have to admit....I really HATE MicroSD cards with a passion. It truly is the worst memory format of all time. Way too unreliable across multiple devices. I wish these phones could be designed to take standard SD cards instead. I've gone through too many of these garbage microSD cards. Is there any good brands out there or are they all bad in general? ...thanks.

there are multiple posts on here about the card being bad or the reader being bad. I know if I have a 32 Sandisk Ultra and it starts having mount/unmount issues and then it fails to be recognized on my phone or macbook, then it is most likely the card. If I then put a 16gb card into the same phone and same computer that I just attempted to use the 32 gb card on, and the 16 gb card works, then it isn't the phone or phone reader or computer or computer reader.

Some of these 32 gb Sandisk Ultra cards are pure s h it ...no other way to put it. I am using one right now, again, after having my 32gb crap out on me. So far, so could with a few ROM flashes as well. I am not sure if they are designed for crap or I got a decent card on my second try. If I ever have another problem with my 32 gb Sandisk Ultra then I will switch brands for sure.

as I have posted before. I think there may be an aspect of stray electronic voltage from electrostatic discharge happening when handling the card. It is such a small card that it is almost impossible to avoid touching the contacts. The larger sd card is much easier to handle and avoid this issue.. I am very careful now with my handling procedures.

I just ordered a Samsung 'Plus' 32gb class 10 UHS-1 card, which samsung claims is waterproof, magnet proof, and shock proof. Hopefully I'll have better luck with it. It was approx $32 on eBay with free shipping from Fremont, CA. Seller had high ratings, so hopefully it is a legitimate card. We'll see what happens.

Thats the route I went with after 4 cards from SanDisk that all failed! This card works great no regrets
