An Adata class 10 32 gb I already have was not working, so bought a Samsung class 6 32 gb too at a store around the corner of my house. No problems with it at all so far. For me internal storage now for apps only is more than enough space for me with the Micro Sd for files only. Stabilty of external SD a bit more important to me than speed (to a certain level)

Made a benchmark of the Samsung Class 6 with A1 SD Bench just in case people are interested:

So I recently got the Moto G with Micro sd reader and I bought this along with it:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Memo...TFRTJVC8QRC792

As it was recommended by Amazon, I thought it would work.

But it doesn't. I mean sometimes it works, sometimes it unmounts and the phone says that it's broken. Then 5 minutes after it can work just fine again. It feels like there is something wrong with the actual reader itself, like the card keeps unplugging itself. I do know however there has been some problems with sd cards for this phone. Should I get another one from amazon instead?

Moto G 4G only provides full support for cards that are 32GB or smaller. Some 64GB cards MAY function but officially they aren't supported. Unlikely that Motorola will do anything to resolve incompatiblity issues with some 64GB cards to be honest.

Thanks for your reply. I know that the Moto G 4G officially only supports sdhc cards up to 32gb.

Just ordered the Moto G LTE from Tesco Mobile in the UK. Not sure if it's relevent but the phone was out of stock there for a week or two and has now gone up 5£ in price. Does this mean these could be a new batch or something?

I'm just asking because I'm currently looking for a Micro SD card online and I'm not sure whether or not to take the risk of buying a Class 10.

Is there much difference (noticeable) between class 10 and class 6. This will be a 32GB micro SD.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spatuluk:
I received my Moto G 4G (XT1039, Android 4.4.3) from Tesco yesterday. I put in a 32gb Sandisk Ultra sdcard that used to live in my Sony Ericsson SK17i, and it said the card was damaged (reformat?). I let it reformat, thinking the phone would do it best, and it worked - I could store stuff on the card...

...until this morning, when I noticed that some of the games I'd downloaded last night had vanished from the menu. Then I spotted the 'Blank SD card' notification. :( I tried a restart, but it's still supposedly blank. It's definitely not, as I can read the contents using my SK17i.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kheter:
Crosspost this from Motorola forum.

I noticed something that could be useful for debugging the "sd card removed unexpectedly" problem.

My UK Moto G was updated to 4.4.4 this morning but the problem still appeared with both a 32 GB class 10 Sandisk and a 16 GB class 10 Kingston.

After playing around a bit, I noticed that the error only appears if I open Play Music app and select the SD as the storage. If I don't, the card works fine, I can take pictures that are saved on the SD and so on. As soon as I change Play Music to use the SD card, the SD is unmounted, the "sd card removed unexpectedly" error appears and I have to reboot. This appears to be consistent and reproducible.

Can someone else try this to confirm/disprove?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Level99:
Tested it with the Class 2 32GB and did not have any unmount issues.

For mine, I can now say conclusively that anything Class 10 or UHS1 does not work properly. This happens in both Android as well as CWM. Class 2 32GB is working great at the moment.

Edit: Started my own thread for this not knowing this is where the main discussion was. Here are the results of my testing with three XT1045. I have verified that all of these cards work in other phones (all on Galaxy S3 and LG Optimus G, all except 64gb on ZTE Radiant and Motorola Atrix 4G).

Phone 1: Black Moto G 4G LTE.

64GB Sandisk Ultra (Fresh FAT32 format as well as in-use FAT32 with files on it) - Reads as blank or damaged card immediately, upon formatting still says damaged.

32GB Microcenter C10 - Works fine for 5 minutes, then says "removed unexpectedly". Upon reinsertion, says it is blank even though I can verify the files on it are still fine via PC Card Reader.

32GB Kingston C2 - Works fine

16GB Transcend C4 - Works fine

8GB Transcend C6 - Works fine

2GB Transcend C6 - Works fine

Phone 2: First White Moto G 4G LTE.

64GB Sandisk Ultra (Fresh FAT32 format as well as in-use FAT32 with files on it) - Works fine for 5 minutes, then says "removed unexpectedly". Upon reinsertion, says it is blank even though I can verify the files on it are still fine via PC Card Reader.

32GB Microcenter C10 - Works fine for 5 hours, then says "removed unexpectedly". Upon reinsertion, says it is blank even though I can verify the files on it are still fine via PC Card Reader. Every time after this, immediately says blank or damaged upon insertion.

32GB Kingston C2 - Works fine

16GB Transcend C4 - Works fine

8GB Transcend C6 - Works fine

2GB Transcend C6 - Works fine

Phone 3: Second White Moto G 4G LTE.

64GB Sandisk Ultra (Fresh FAT32 format as well as in-use FAT32 with files on it) - Reads as blank or damaged card immediately, upon formatting still says damaged.

32GB Microcenter C10 - Reads as blank or damaged card immediately, upon formatting still says damaged.

32GB Kingston C2 - Works fine. This is what I am currently testing to see if it also displays issues after elongated periods of use.

16GB Transcend C4 - Works fine

8GB Transcend C6 - Works fine

2GB Transcend C6 - Works fine

I've updated to android 4.4.4 now so I just tried my SanDisk 32GB Class 10 and it seems to be working fine now.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interessant:
I was one of the very first to be affected by this issue. I wanted to reiterate my initial findings. The issue is more than likely related to different sd host controllers being sourced during manufacture -- or improper soldering job on the component. Since the exact same class 10 cards have been shown to work flawlessly on two 4.4.2 devices and failed on two 4.4.2 devices purchased within a two week period, all from amazon, there is no other valid explanation.

There is a possibility that 4.4.4 release tries to update the software/driver to work 'better' with the sd host controller's requirements, but if there is a hardware flaw, then software is just a work-around to an existing problem ( perhaps by modifying the latency, read/write wait times, etc )

Motorola should have released the different IMEI's related to the SD host controllers if they have already identified it so they can take them back and fix it before selling these new phones. If the same SD host controller is being used then it's a quality control issue during manufacture, or they got bad batches of sd host controllers from whoever supplied it.

As for me, I'm still running a class 10 32gb without issue on one of the four above mentioned phones without any updates except to 4.4.3 OTA.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanzoghenzo:
Hi all, I got the moto g a week ago, and I'm using a Sandisk Ultra 64GB micro sdxc U1 bought from amazon Italy some time ago (I used it in my previous phone). So far so good.

I really would like to use that sdcard formatted in ext4, and use drivedroid to bring with me some os images (and a portableapps partition). The problem is stock rom doesn't like ext4 sdcard, and the kernel doesn't allow to mount the drivedroid images as usb rw disks. I guess I'll wait till motorola releases the stock rom/kernel sources!

UPDATE: I spoke to soon... The SD card was the cause of frequent app freezes (I'm using rooted stock 4.4.4 on X1039 with xposed framework) that rendered the phone unusable. After forcing a reboot the phone says I have a bad sdcard. Even after reflashing the stock rom (the one with the unlocked bootloader waring removed you can find in this forum) I got this problems. After taking out the sd card everything seems to work fine (I have not installed xposed yet).

UPDATE 2: switching to a sandisk 8gb class 10 Uhs1 lying around solved my problems. Until I'll run out of space!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xplorer4x4:
I have the same card as the OP and can confirm its not working on my xt1045. Sad that it worked on a POS Kyocera Event and Moto Razr HD but not the Moto G which is a major step up from the Event and a not so bad replacement for the Razr HD Maxx that went out!

Same problem with my Rogers/Fido XT1040, 4.4.3, no updates to 4.4.4 yet.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sand3rs:
It works! Some phones are just bad.

I got one of these phones too and had the same problem, even with a smaller/slower memory card. I contacted Motorola support via chat and they claimed the pending system update to 4.4.4 may help, but could not say when I could expect it, and offered to send a 4 gig memory card in the meantime. The support person said the update depended on my carrier, but I bought it unlocked from Amazon and use a BYOD plan, which seemed to flummox them. I waited until the end of the return window, still no update available, and had Amazon send out a replacement, which was free and speedy and they gave me 30 days to send the old one back. It works fine with the same memory card:

SanDisk Ultra 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS Memory Card Speed Up To 30MB/s With Adapter, Frustration-Free Packaging - SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A

and seems to have the same system version, 4.4.3. The one difference is that I put files on the card first, which some forum posters seem to think makes a difference, but the Motorola support person said it would not. I will try wiping it sometime soon to see if the replacement phone can still read it, but it looks more and more to me like some of these phones ship with this problem and some do not. I recommend buying it from Amazon and just returning it until you get one that works as it should.

Now it is just the phone I was looking for: compact, fast, good battery life, expandable memory, minimal/nonexistent carrier software bloat.
