I have a 64gb Sandisk card and it works great. I don't swap these cards at all, and I loaded it up with music and movies. Works great.

Bought mine from Amazon in January of this year. I had no issues at all and thought my card was fine until earlier this week. Pictures started to disappear from the card, and folders on my card couldn't be deleted. Now I cant format the card and I cant move the files that haven't been deleted off of the card to save them. I tried to reach out to Amazon for a replacement, but they state that I'm passed my return period. Sandisk wont authorize a return since I didn't buy it directly from them. Kind of a pain in the a$$, but at least the important files I need are backed up elsewhere. As a precaution, I would advise anyone with these cards to back up any important files just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Exactly what I've been saying all along.

Although I have 4 of these pieces of sh!t, I back them up religiously because I know they will go bad sooner or later.

I have had three of them replaced under warranty and I'M SURE it will happen again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mofoliar:
Had 1 since i had a razr Maxx and worked fine with that phone and note 2...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Even though these things aren't very dependable (which is surprising since they are solid state with no moving parts) I continue to use them as a reasonable storage medium for things like ripped blu-ray movies etc. and other content that is easily replaceable when the cards go bad (which they do at an alarmingly high rate for some reason.

I make sure I keep them backed up religiously to a laptop and don't worry about it. I would have thought it was a hardware problem with my phone causing the problems, but we have had a multitude of problems with them where I work using all different makes & models of phones. We just keep getting RMA replacements and moving on.

The fact that they so readily and without even the slightest question replace the defective units under warranty indicates to me that they already know they have quite a few defective ones out there.

maybe shoving too much memory in such a small place is just too hard to do.

Any brands besides sandisk? I have at least 4 32gb sandisk that have been bulletproof for the last couple of years, but would like a 64gb to have hd videos that I can beam to the TV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nashdroid:
I'm using one right now. I've used it in multiple phones and have had zero problems with it. I have pretty much my entire music library on my phone. Love having this much memory onboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
I've read either way on SanDisk. Get some good, some bad. Past experience sucked with SanDisk on SD, but my prior 16 and 32 xd's worked fine. Didn't have them long enough for them to crap out. Paid 99 bucks for my Samsung 64Gb xdhc (even though UHS1 isn't implemented yet [Note 3, don't let us down]), well worth the thirty extra, and two week delivery from Taiwan (good luck finding them in Sarasota, Florida, lol). Posting higher read/write times than the SanDisk 64Gb xdhc with the SD Bench I use as well. Not by much, but enough to win a Pissing contest :D

Edit:

And I bought it off Ebay. A little research on the sellers goes a long way. Feedback, ask past buyers who left feedback, etc. Definitely be careful though with Ebay SDs, It can be risky. I went through TaiwanLein they sell all sorts of memory, from Taiwan obviously. Good ebay store.

How did you guys format you card to fat32? Ive read some different ways but just looking for the most straightforward way. I have a sandisk 64g and want to use som3 different kernels but cant cause they dont support exfat. Tia
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonfly14:
i have a sandisk 64 gb UHS-1 silver and red Class 10 formatted in exfat. i have had issues with this 64 gb card but none with the 32 gb. issues ive had with the 64gb include:

not working for recovery. it can read the card but not write to or install from.

Card disapearing at random - including in recovery and in the OS

Phone rebooting at random during use of the Card.

Running perseus kernel and i tried Exfat of different block sizes and fat32 of different block sizes. in fat32 i cant even access the card in some of my apps which is really weird. like they will see the card and the files but not necessarily be able to access them....

anyone else with similar experiences? and this odd stuff only happens during heavy load on the card. if i dont use it too much my note 2 can go on for days without problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazzykiller:
Sandisk is cheap junk memory. Most of the time its okay but it fails out of the box every now and then.it tends to be inconsistent from the tests I have read over the years. There's probably nothing wrong with it I know wall mart sells a lot of it every day. I use them for things that I don't really care about.like ps3 save games and I have a sandisk cruiser stick with a full unix os installed on it.but The 64 stick in my note 2 is Samsung. Just like the slogan. . Samsung is memory for life. I just don't trust cheap made memory. You gotta wonder where the cost cuts from.

If it's all you can afford then yeah get one. But back it up to your pc every day because the next time you boot might be the last.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harajyuks:
I own three of these, one for gn2 and 2 for my tablet. Never any problems, I read about a problem with a 1st batch earlier in this thread. Mine are gray and red. Wondering if that was from the 1st (bad) batch of the new (ok) batch, or if they were all the same color. I only ask because all other sd cards I have seen are black and I always wondered about the different color scheme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
All the ones I've had problems with where gray & red.

I continue using them (I have 45 gigs of stuff on the one currently in my phone) as I have three of them, but I ALWAYS keep a current backup of the cards in my PC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joebroni:
Just started having problems the last few days myself. Running a Sandisk 32gb Class 10 that I bought from Amazon back in February. Now I've got a phone that reboots every 5 minutes, my file explorer showing my SDCard as empty, reported size as 10gb, files that I can't delete, and once got a SDCard Damaged error. I formatted it, and it was stable...for about 6 hours. Finally just removed it from the phone and haven't had anymore problems.

I've got the same problem as the guy above though, where I bought it from Amazon, who's return policy expired at the end of March, and Sandisk isnt going to warranty the POS. Gonna have to break the news to the wife and shell out another $30 for a new one...this time from a manufacturer so I can have a warranty. Thanks Amazon.

What 64gb class 10 card do you guys recommend? Thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] evilkokonut:
I had a Sandisk ultra 32gb that worked great for a month then eventually kept unmounting itself and then data corrupted. I bought a 32gb Samsung class 10 card and haven't had any problems since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] loggainsd:
My 64 sandisk is fine. Had it nearly as long as I've had the phone. Since before Christmas. No issues once I learned it had to be fat32 for aosp roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Sandisk cards are utter/total garbage. Just the amount/quantity of problems reported in this thread alone should convince anybody who was on the fence before about a purchase of this crap.

Unfortunately, I have three of them that I bought when the 64gig cards first came out & the Sandisk brand where all that was available at the time (my employer paid for them or I would REALLY be pissed).

I have now had four Sandisk cards replaced under warranty (same problems as all the other posters where reporting). I still use them, & keep them backed up religiously but I would definitely not buy another one at this point.

Of course in any thread like this, there will always be the occasional poster that claims "I have had my card for years & never had any problem whatever with it, you posters having problems are all idiots". Clearly not every single card is defective but Sandisk has FAR FAR too many defective ones per hundred/whatever compared to any other brand.

Since I am the head of the IT dept where I work, all our defective stuff runs through me & I cringe anytime a user comes to me saying I have 9 gigs of music files on my 64 gig card and the card is saying it is "unreadable" for some reason. If we are on the phone, the first question I ask is "is the card red & gray??" (already knowing that it will be).

I have wasted more time running disc recovery apps for users trying to recover all their bootleg music files when I know right up front it will probably be a complete waste of time.............
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drockrdr:
I have the 64gb Sandisk card in my n2. So far I have gotten lucky and my card has lasted about 6 months, hopefully my card was "built on a Wednesday" and will continue to work. I was wondering what brand do you recommend? I would like to buy a backup card just in case mine finally gives up the ghost. For now I use an OTG connector and a usb drive to do regular backups of anything I feel valuable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drum747:
Fat32, no issues in my N2 or my wife's. We've been running them since the 1st day that we got our N2's on release day. Keeping my fingers crossed.:)

It can be formatted Fat32 or exfat, both are fine. If the kernel in recovery doesn't support exfat, it will not show up there. Devil recovery has support for exfat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonfly14:
card isnt fully compatible with samsung note 2 is my experience.

i get the same problem as you stated

i bouht a more expensive samsung and all my problems disapeared, including being able to mount in TWRP/recovery.

even when my sandisk mounted right, when i tried to backup or recover, it would fail eventually during write or read and disapear from the mounts. no such problem happens with my samsung

32gb sandisks is not exfat class and as a result is built differently, to SDHC Standards, and i have no such issues with my 32GB Sandisk. (i have purchased both a 32 and 64gb sandisk, plus a 64gb samsung when said 64gb sandisk failed to perform correctly.

Bought two Sandisk 64GB direct from Amazon Dec 2012. Formatted in Note II, Note 10.1 and Note 3 and they still work.

Avoid Amazon 3rd party sellers and questionable sources like Ebay as there are a lot of fakes.

Keep in mind that Sandisks are Made in China. If you want better assurance spend a little more and get Made in South Korea Samsung media.

For those claiming that customer recovery doesn't work with their SD card it's probably because they're running a version of TWRP, CWM, etc. that doesn't support exFAT.

How come on stock ROM, I can see all my music in the music player, but on cm10 I can't see any songs in this format? It is really bugging me, is there a possible fix for it? I don't want to go back and add EVERY song, because that is about 1,000 songs. It doesn't even say that the songs in this format even show up.

And please, keep your opinions to yourself about the song. Its just an example of the ones my phone can't see on cm10.

They're totally different music players. If you're using Apollo, there may be limitations on which file extensions it can read. I would suggest trying an alternative music player since the Touchwiz one doesn't work on AOSP roms, as it requires the TW framework.

P.S. I recommend Poweramp, if you're looking for a great quality one.

Re: CM10 or Any AOSP ROM music problem!

I tried using player pro and play music. It reads those songs on play music on stock but not on CM10. For some reason cm10 won't read the songs.

I'd try a 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 ROM and see if that fixes it. Cm10 was discontinued as an unfinished product when cyanogen moved onto 4.2. Its possible that this was a left over bug.

I can confirm that 4.2.x ROMs have less bugs because they're updated more than the 4.1.2 ones. Create a folder called "0" and place it on the root of your internal storage, then move all of your folders into the 0 folder and boot into recovery and flash a 4.2.x ROM. ;)

It seems to be only you that is experiencing this problem, so give this a go:

Backup your sdcard to card to your computer

Reformat to FAT32

Restore all files

Boot into OS

Sdcards need to be refreshed every once in a while, so that may be your issue...if its not...then i dont know what it could be, but a lot of people would be complaining if this were an issue with CM10+ in general, right?
