Did you try formatting the card? Where did you buy it? I have heard many many many times that ebay is infiltrated with fraud 32gb cards. They are really 4 or 8gb or something like that. When you mount the card in your computer or phone, what does it show the total size as?
it shows the right amount...
Fraud cards still show the "right" amount as far as I know. Dunno if they do in the phone though

I agree that it could be a fake card. Where did you buy it from and how much did you pay?

$30 for a 32 gig definitely sounds fishy.

You have been EVOfied.
You can test your card's real capacity with a utility like h2test, which will write files until it's full and then verify them. Though you've basically already verified it...if it consistently stops writing files at a certain capacity, that's probably the true capacity of the card. As others have said, if you bought it from ebay, it's common.

Don't let the German scare you. It supports English.
Just went through this with a Wintec card bought from Fry's. Here's what will happen with your card, too:
Code:
while (patience == good)
{
Card will spontaneously corrupt data;
Reformat card;
Restore data from back (you do have a backup, right?);
}
beat card into powder with a ball-peen hammer;
I spent $119 for my card and this happened. Return it if you can.

I used to get corrupted stuff too. What I did that stopped it for me was put a thick piece of paper on top of the card and into the slot. When the battery was on top of the card, out would keep it from moving. I suspected the card and phone contacts weren't staying firmly set. If a write cycle happened when the connection was intermittent, corrupt files and or file allocation table.
Is the microSD card in the Evo when you transfer all that stuff to it? If so, it might be worth a shot to take it out and just use a standalone card reader or USB adapter to hook it up to your computer and then transfer that way. No idea if it would make a difference, but just another thing you can try.

I purchased a Sandisk 64GB micro SD card through Amazon. I got the card and put it in my phone and the phone said it was damaged. It wouldn't mount the SD card to format it. I tried to format it with my laptop, but it would not give the option for fat32.
I did a Google search and found this.
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
You have to use Dos commands, but it formats the SD card to fat32 in about 3 seconds. Needless to say, this has to be done on a Windows computer. Mine is running Vista.
BE CAREFUL! IF YOU AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION, YOU COULD FORMAT THE WRONG DRIVE AND MESS UP YOUR COMPUTER!
(If this is in the wrong place, please move to the correct forum.)
I'm sure most of you already know how to do this. I just figured I would post it for people that don't.

If it won't format in the phone, it may be defective. I went through something similar, I ordered a 64gb class 6 card off Amazon a few months ago. It was made by "Komputerbay" & had good reviews, but would not format at all in my phone. Wouldn't even mount or anything. I sent it back & ordered a Sandisk, and it formatted in my phone right away with no problems.

It's not defective. I'm using it in my phone right now. I find it interesting that people are able to mount this card in their phone when, out of the box, it's in a format that the phone doesn't recognize. Also, without a workaround, you aren't supposed to be able to format anything over 32GB to fat32.
This is my understanding after reading up on it anyway.

They password protected the wifi network. So, we aren't allowed to use it.
I could use grooveshark with my cell data, but I would go through my 5GB data plan in about a week.

Jesus H! Thank you for this! I've been fighting this for about a week now since I started playing with CM10 on the S3. Tried 4 or 5 methods of formatting with various commands and apps, and the most I could get out of the card was 32 GB in FAT32.
There's also a gui version of the utility that worked when all other found the card unreadable. Took all of 10 seconds!

I have followed the tutorial and have formatted it, but windows still reports a size of 27.4GB which would mean 32GB.
I have a class 10 64GB card, i can format it in exfat no problem, just not fat32.
Any ideas?
Just in case someone has this problem
I was trying to format my sandisk 64gb that was formatted in exfat but I was having an error message saying that the card was being used by another program but there was nothing using it. What I did was that I formatted it with windows 7 to NTFS and after it was done I used the program again and this time it works. To make sure I put my card in the phone and formatted it with the phone also. I tried to formatted it in the phone before and it was formatted but it stayed in exfat. I want it to be FAT32 because the clockworkmod recovery touch can't access the card formatted in exfat to make backup. Now I will try it with fat32 which they say it will work.
Try to get another recovery like twrp, it let's you use your external sd.

Okay, I've not really payed much attention to my Play at all, I've probably picked it up once this week to realize the sd card was not being read, after formatting it and trying over 3 sd cards I come to believe something is up with the phone itself, My S3 also cannot read the sd card, any suggestions, I think its an issue with the phone itself, I've flashed back to gingerbread and still nothing.

Format it with a computer.

Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.
If the microSD is not being read, put it in a BlackBerry. The Blackberry should ask you to format the card so it will be usable. For some reason, this worked for me and now my microSD is working fine. I already added a new UHS-1 card by Sandisk to my cart before I tried to fix it. It saved me some money .

No, its from best buy. I dont buy transflash off ebay. Its 59gb in compasity currently. I didnt do any mods. Im asking about possable mods, or as I have infered, that theirs nothing.

His post above yours says what he's using. Partition magic. Either way, I'm guessing the issue is the software if Windows shows the true value. If you want a safe piece of mind, back up the data, and exchange it best buy. If the new one reads the same issue, then it's the software. Cause no way 2TB would fit a microsd.

Have you tried using the software to read other 64GB cards? Either way, if everything is working fine, and you download other software and everything but Partition magic reads it at 64GB, then just keep it.

It's not a 2TB card. As people have answered you, either the hardware is borked, or the software is confused with that card (make, model, when it was made, etc). Just because other cards have worked fine doesn't mean the software isn't confused. Just because you bought it from BestBuy doesn't mean the card is good.
People asked about eBay because many of us have been burned buying a card that is formatted wrong so it looks like it has a higher capacity than it really has. Either the software you are using (that exact edition, set up, installation) is giving you possible options to make computers think it is higher capacity (which will not do you any good), or that card could be flawed which is confusing the software into being unsure of it's total capacity.
The only exploit you could do is try using the 2TB formatting and showing people your super cool 2TB card (which would destroy files that were placed in non existent sectors). I don't recommend doing that, as it wastes the card.
I haven't really said anything that anyone else hasn't been talking about, but these seem to answer anything you may have been asking (since technically you never formed a full question). So I think your question was answered, you may have just not asked what you meant to.
Correct, but I do not belive the card is flawed. I agree with the rest though. And if my question dosent seem fully developed I appologise

So Im going on vacation here in a few days and was downloading my Amazon prime music to my 64 GB SD card and then randomly after I was done downloading it it gave me a error that said the SD card was blank or had file types that were unsupported. Now when you go to the storage location under settings it would act like the card was not even mounted and would tell me to reformat it.. So I've done that twice and re-downloaded and still the same issue. Now this happened on my Note 3 with a compactly different SD card.
The SD card in my note 4 is brand new is there something Im missing? Its getting super annoying. Because when I have apps to the sd card and pics you cant seem to retrieve them. Is it possible that after I use 32GB of space on that card that anything after that corrupts? Pretty sure that sounded stupid!
I had a issue on my camcorder that i put a 64 gb card in my camcorder when it stated that it supported up to 32gb and anything after that corrupted,
Any suggestions>?

Sounds like you're using a counterfeit SD card. They're usually a smaller card (8GB or something) hacked to make it appear to be a larger capacity (say 64GB). When you put the card into a device, it reads as the larger capacity. When writing to it, it can only write up to the actual size, then loops back to the first sector on the card and continues writing.
So basically, in your case, the card may actually be 16GB or something. When writing to it, the card will fill up the 16GB, loop to the first sector, and write over what was just written. It'll do this 4x! (4x16=64). So this will corrupt your card and give you these problems.

I prefer Sandisk, Samsung, Sony, or Kingston. Buy at a brick and mortar store though. Don't buy online. Well, you can buy online, but do it from brick and mortar store websites (like Best Buy). It's the only way I've found to guarantee not getting a fake. Fakes are especially on Aliexpress, Amazon, and Ebay. Avoid those places for sure.

Instead, read this:

Also try this if you want. It's an app that tries to detect the authenticity of your micro sd.

Best Buy only sells genuine cards, and sellers on their marketplace should be authentic too. You should be safe, but I would've gone with whatever was on sale there. No matter what, it should be real.

Sorry, but I don't know anything about unlocking. I only know about sd cards because of personal experience. I've bought many cards over the years and many were fakes or crapped out on me in under a year due to poor quality. I've learned where to buy and where not to, trustworthy and untrustworthy brands, etc.
