Just a heads-up - issues with sandisk 32gb ultra micro sdxc

[paddylaz]

Just a heads-up to anyone who might be buying this card as it's extremely popular on amazon

Seems to be some issues with the gs4 - it keeps on mounting/dismounting by itself and generally being buggy.

Before anyone flames me, I'm aware this is a well documented issue already with the gs3, and indeed there were some 'dodgy' sandisk cards that sandisk fixed in a SEPARATE issue.

However, I've used two different ones of THIS particular card, bought recently, and in two different gs4's, and the problem has arised in both. So you do the maths. Just a heads up in case anyone is worried it's a problem with their card - it isn't.

I have the 64gb sandisk about a week and doesnt have any problem with I9505...

Do you guys both have the sdxc version (not sdhc)?

If so fair enough. The odds seem fairly improbable though so standing by my observation just in case anyone else has troubles and are wanting to identify a possible source

Very annoying. Any tips?

No issue on my 64GB SanDisk card here. Try to ask for a replacement.

 

[RunjitPunjit]

No problems here using a 32gb or a 64gb. Mine were from Amazon as well.

I am using 32GB SanDisk SDHC (Class 10) Android version. No issues so far.

I have a 32GB SandDisk Micros SD HC which has intermittent reading problems. Switching off the phone and taking out the Micro SD for a few seconds and putting it back and rebooting the phone solves the problem. This has only happened to me 3x ever since I owned the phone. I'm not sure if this is the Micro SD or the ROM's fault. Putting the Micro SD in my Note 2 works perfectly.

I bought this exact card: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009QZH6JS

SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A)

Have had it in my phone since May 1st, use it for videos, music, among a few other things. Lives in my phone except when it's in my laptop for file transfers.

And out of all that, I've had absolutely zero problems, at least so far. I know it's the 64 GB, not the 32 GB model, but just thought I'd add my experience to the thread.

Same here. I have the Sandisk 64GB ultra SDXC formatted as exFAT and had no issues with my i9505.
Have you guys tried to format the SD card on the phone not on PC?
