microSD card locking up phone - General Accessories

I got a 16GB microsdhc card for my Huawei U8100 but it is causing my phone to constantly freeze. is there anything I can do to fix this?
I did all of the following:
-Format using Panasonic SDFormatter
-Reinstall the Android ROM
-Checked to see if the phone supports 16GB and it does.
So what can I do to fix this? Can I check if the card is corrupt or fake? What programs should I use?

What memory card is it? Brand please? Class speed of the card?

Micro SD card sometimes disappearing

I am using T-mobile Touch Pro 2.
I am quite satisfied with this device except for one problem.
Sometimes (once a day or every other day?) when I turn the device on, the micro sd card is not detectable. The card is in the slot, but the device just cannot find it. (It shows like there is no sd card!)
When I reboot the device or take the micro sd card off and insert again, the device recognize it which makes me very annoyed.
Anyone who has the same problem and the solution?
Many thanks in advance.
FYI, I am using Transcend 8GB micro sd card (class 6.)
The only time I have something like this issue is when I connect the phone to the PC as an external drive, which is by design. Unplugging the phone sets it right again.
Change your MicroSD to SanDisk and you wont have any problems. I have a class 2 16GB and I dont have any problems. If you're worry about the performance, it's pretty fast. using the phone as removable drive it writes at just under 4mb/s, using a usb adapter and the write speed sustains at 8-10mb/s which out performs minimum class 6 standard. All the test was done on a 16gb class 2 with 10gb of badly fragmented files already on the card and writing another 5.5GB into the card. I havent tested read speed but it's faster than write speed.

I had the same problem when i first got my sprint pro 2. All you have to do to fix is... using any card reader, copy all the files on your micro sd card to a new folder on your computer. then format the card to fat32. once formatted copy all of your files back onto the card. pop it back in and you should be good to go.. after doing this to mine, my 16g card hasn't disappeared once.

SD card problems

I am having problems with my SD card. I used to have a mytouch, and I bought a Sandisk 4GB back then. When I got the S2 back in Decemeber 2011, all i did was format the micro card to work. The S2 shows that its there under Storage, but i have always have difficulties actually using it. You will see that it has some used into it. I can only reach it through USB connection and transfer file that way. However, whenever I use any programs which can be install under SD card, it will not do so.
As you will noticed below i have a problem call App 2 SD Pro, which it will only show both memories with my phone, Storage and USB, which is the same phone memory. By no means, its finding the Micro SD card. Can anyone tell me why is this? This phone is not rooted and i have only 2.3.6.
Thank you in advance.
If you look through your list of folders under /sdcard, your micro sd is the 'external_sd" folder.
Yes that is true. Is under External SD card. My question is, why are some programs, mostly all, having difficulties to find it? and can i have all for example game files, be saved onto my "external SD Card"?
What is the speed of your sd card?
class 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10?

How would i know that? all i can see on the card is, Sandisk 2 in circle, 4GB SDHC micro. Where else can i check? which class is best?
You have a class 2. It has been my experience that when you move an app to sd card, on this phone it uses the internal "USB" storage.
So what can i do to do the opposite? Meaning, using the actual SD card instead of the internal.

[Q] SD Card Encryption

Hello. I've encrypted my sd card and have been dealing with occasional images and videos files being corrupt and not being able to be read. I have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC Card (Class 10/U1). I've formatted this card in the phone and is now formatted using the SD Formatter using my PC but with the same outcome. Would rooting this phone have anything to do with corrupt files or could it possibly be my SD Card? Or maybe perhaps the encryption method used by the phone is just not reliable?
Any help is much appreciated.
In the meantime, I've decrypted my phone so let's see if there are any reliability changes.
Update: I got a new replacement and have the same damn problem. I have turned off SD Card encryption and it has been good so far.
Could you please suggest something equivalent in the event my phone is lost or stolen? I have TrustGo installed and do believe it can wipe my phone but not the data on the SD card.

[SOLVED] SanDisk 64GB - Keep losing access, having to remove/replace.

Just upgraded to a 64GB card and having some issues. Assumed it was the ROM I was using but seem to have same issue on all.
I keep losing access to my external 64 GB card and I have to remove/replace to gain access again.
Is anybody else having this issue with 64GB cards?
SOLVED: Looks like latest bootloader does not properly support exFAT so had to reformat to FAT32

Bootloader error?

Hi,
When I turn my phone on, it sometimes shows up with this message: http://i.imgur.com/vxq4QQo.png
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!
That's a recovery error, when there is no MOFD_SDUPDATE

Even though the Zenfone 2 supports 64gb sd card the recovery (stock) doesn't recognise the micro sd card if it bigger than 32gb or formatted anything other than FAT32.
You either need to put the OTA file on a 32gb or less micro sd card and flash or format your micro sd card FAT32, doing this will result in not being able to put files larger than 4gb on it.
Lucky for me I have an sd card to micro sd card reader adaptor and a 4gb sd card...
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try those
Edit: Truth be told, I don't actually have the phone yet so I cannot try it. That's a picture from the eBay seller.
I snagged a "for parts" 4GB version for less than $100. If the only problem is it needs to be re-flashed, then I think I got a great deal.
