[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] benno4403:
I guess this is the best topic to ask my question: I bought some 32 GB Class 10 Kingston and SanDisk SD Cards but having SD issues when using them. My phone - after a few days - says the SD card is damaged.. but after a format it's working fine again. I then picked another brand micro sd but the problem happened again after a few days.. I made sure the sd has a good fit in the sd slot.. hopefully it's something I can fix without sending back the phone already
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
download the sd formatter from the sd association site and do a deep in depth format, it may take hours, see if that will sort your problem out, on the other hand, the card may be starting to die on you.

do let us know.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Grizzly123:

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Crafty77:
I've got a sandisk 64gb UHS-1 card. I used it in my S3 and now my S5.

The card worked fine in the S3 and now the S5, but connecting it to a PC is a complete pain - trying to copy files to the card becomes really slow and will eventually fail, sometimes it won't even list the content of a directory.

It doesn't matter how I connect the card - via phone (admittedly not tried the S5 yet), via inbuilt card reader, via the reader with an SD adapter (supplied with the card), using an external USB reader with and without the SD adapter.

I've tried 3 or 4 different PCs, running XP, 7 and 8.

The card eventually failed completely, I could format it in the phone but it'd then say it was corrupt, likewise the same happened via a PC, even when using the SD formatter from sdcard.org I had to send it to Sandisk in Hungary and they replaced it, but the new one is exactly the same.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Someone mentioned that it happens on 64GB cards. I am using a Lexar 64GB 633x high speed one (similar to the one posted somewhere above).

The findings are true. I tried a 16GB Sandisk mobile Ultra and a 8GB class4 Sandisk and the lag was reduced (still there though). This issue was also present for the S2 and S3 as well, but the lag for the S5+64GB card is too much imho.

Guys,

Please observe and comment.

Thanks for the response.

Can you confirm that your phone is in deep sleep before your wake it up?

If you happen to have apps creating wakelocks in your system, you won't notice this. On top of that, your batt will drain as well.

And does your device wake up instantly or there's a slight delay?

I can accept a 1sec delay but anything more than that is a nuisance. With info from you guys, I can make a better decision to change my SD card..
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:

Go to your battery graph in your settings.

You will see the following listed below: Mobile network signal, GPS on, Wi-Fi, Awake, Screen on, Charging.

The bar on the "Awake" should not be constantly blue. It should mostly be in sync to your screen on and blank when screen off.

If you're not too sure, you might wanna post a screenshot if it's not too much of a trouble.

Samsung s5 sd card damage

I'm having the same issues with my new Samsung S5, keep saying my SD card is damaged. I've brought 2 new SD cards both class 10, the first card was a cheap 64Gb card and when it said damaged, I thought is was a cheap card. I then brought a Samsung 32 Gb card and once again the phone keeps telling me the card is damaged.

I've formatted the cards using PC and the phone no difference. I've tried using the Samsung Kies software opposed to PC drag and drop, again no difference.

It seems to happen when I have copied music on to a card. Its very happy to play the music from the card and use the card.... BUT,as soon as the phone is switched off, runs out of life, or the SD card is unmounted and mounted again, as soon it the S5 tries to read the card and the SD card message is displayed and asked to format the card.

Waiting for the Samsung help centre to call me this Saturday coming to show them the issue using smart tutor.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kprice8:
Have you tried MTP with phone attached to PC via USB, instead of putting music on there via the card itself?

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] porky pies:

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] porky pies:

Starting to think i have a duffer phone and wish i got the HTC M8. Roll on Saturday when Samung connect to my phone to try and fix the issue, but i think they wont be able to :crying:
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kprice8:
Why not take it to where you got it from and explain the situation, and tell them you want a new one, since that one is defective and has been from the Box.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] porky pies:
I think this is what Samsung will have to do, replace my 1 month old S5 with a new one.

So I've been doing a bit of trial and error, using my very old Google Nexus 1. My S5 was saying "damaged SD card" after I unmounted and remounted the SD card after writting music on to it. I used the same card and did the same thing on my Nexus, same music tracks and the SD card was still OK after I unmount and remount....So its not a SD card issue. I placed the SD card back into the S5 having written the music tracks onto the SD card using the nexus, and the S5 unmounts and remounts the SD card just fine.

So I'm guessing its the way the S5 writes the music to the SD which the S5 doesn't like. But i don't want to be carrying a nexus around with me just in'case i want to write something to my SD card and use it on my S5.

Samsung MB-MP64DA Benchmark Results

So i finally received my Samsung EVO 64 two days ago. As I promised, here are the benchmark results:

Read: 38.39 MB/s

Write: 12.35 MB/s

(See the attached screenshots)

I have also recorded my friends' entire soccer match yesterday in 4K without any issues, except for the phone itself overheating at one point which stopped the recording. Also, everything else has been running without a problem so far. Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
the problem with that app is that it really can't recognize the external SD

compare the size of what that app lists as external & internal..EXTERNAL the same as INTERNAL....so essentially you are only measuring the internal memory speed...not of your new card
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] BoomBucks:
Oh man, that's a shame. Could you please recommend a good benchmark app, so I can do a benchmark real quick and provide adequate info? I feel like an idiot now :(
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
no need to feel like an idiot....that app shouldn't describe the internal sd as external sd

unless you are rooted, no apps will work since it cannot read/write to the external SD

if you are rooted, then install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

and then point the app to the custom path
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] BoomBucks:
I remembered that the app listed 3 external SD cards when I first opened it, so I just reopened the app and repeated the test. I will now update my previous post with correct info.

Earlier today, I have also tried the app you just mentioned. It showed the final screen without requesting SU permission, saying the phone can already write to the SD card. Kudos to you for the information, eyecon82! :good:

? i am looking mainly for saving videos and apps and recording 1080p video... (maybe some 4k as well:) ..)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gersla:
Also looking for Micro SD Card for the Galaxy S5.

There are some models of SanDisk cards with big price range- some of them:

SanDisk Extreme-Up to 45/45MB/s** read/write speed (32 GB & 64 GB)

SanDisk Extreme Pro- Up to 80MB/s** read; up to 50MB/s** write speed (32 GB & 64 GB)

My question is, what is an optimal read/write speed recommended for our Galaxy S5?

Of course we can always buy a best one (festers) but why to pay more if slower might be good enough and allow smooth video recording and playback.

Normally I use 1080p video recording in HDR mode, some times slow/smooth video recording.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gersla:
I think I found an answer.

I tried to record two videos:

1. 1080P normal

2. 1080P Smooth motion

The recording time was 11 sec

Below are the results"

1) 20140804_122532.mp4	1080P	11 sec	HDR	30 Fps	normal	21.5 Mb	17 Mbps

2) 20140804_122603.mp4	1080P	11 sec	HDR	59 Fps	Smooth motion	34.6 Mb	27.3 Mbps

So we can see, that in video 2- the maximum bit rate is 27.3 Mbps. So the SanDisk Extreme-Up to 45/45MB/s** read/write speed will be good enough

I have also tried to recodrd video in UHD mode 3840x2160

below are the results:

3) 20140804_123543.mp4	3840x2160	11 sec	30 Fps	Normal	66.1 MB	48.1 Mbps

In this case we need faster memory card.

But I don't think I will ever use video recording at UHD- not in the coming 2-3 years probably

want to get the Extreme Plus but waiting till they have it in a 128gb ;)

Sandisk Ultra 64 GB is enough for me.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] sealava:
So the bottom line is Samsung Galaxy S5 do not support UHS1 .

and so any normal class 10 SD card is more then enough , and any higher would be just a wast of good money , because S5 and other smart phones can't utilize the advertised speeds that the high power SD cards are capable of , like the UHS-1 ones .

any more insights will be helpful :)

I'm hearing way too many bad things about Sandisk these days for me to completely trust them. What did catch my eye are the Samsung Micro SD cards that are supposed to be water-proof.

Best Buy had the Samsung 64GB Evo cards on sale at a really good price a couple weeks ago, but when I went in to buy two of them for our phones they only had one left on the shelf... :(

But....right next to them was the Samsung 64GB Pro cards mismarked for the same sale price! Grabbed two and headed up to the register to try my luck....rang up at over $100 each, but mentioned the price tag to the cashier & she paged a manager who approved the mismarked price.

Paid for my goodies, thanked them both profusely for making it happen, and scooted out the door before they could change their mind.

They've been working flawlessly & I couldn't be more pleased.

Is there a app that I can use to test the writing and reading speed of my 64 Gig class 10 micro sd card? Thanks :)

T-mobile Gs5
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] NoOneCanHelpMe:
let me explain :))

48mbps ÷ 8 = 6MB/s

48MB/s is extremely high and you probably need to record in 32K resolution to put some pressure on the card.

that is if it is actually able to reach 48MB/s write speed. :)

faster read speed is nice if you have lots of pics and videos, but you can get away with lower write speeds.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gee2012:
Look in Play, lots of sd apps available like SD Tools for instance.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] NoOneCanHelpMe:
