Take it out and format them to FAT32 and try again because some card came as exFat. Good Luck

I don't know if you should blame the phone or the card. I had a 32GB Sandisk and had nothing but problems with it. I changed to a smaller Kingston card a few months back and not had a problem since.

u should blame the card, its official that 32/64gb sandisk cards dont like new samsung phones. anyway send it to sandisk and you will receive "updated" version of that card which dont bug with sammy phones.

64GB Microsd Card(Not working for our phones?)

So i was anybody has a 64gb microsd card from sandisk in there vibes. I currently have one but im having issues with it in all roms. My computer reads it and the phone recognize it and i try formatting it but after it formats it acts like nothing happened.
Edit: Nvm i seem to fix it, had to go back on my g2 and reformat on that phone then bring it back to my vibes.
I thought this phone only supported up to 32GB?
Phone only supports up to 32 GBs. Think it says so on the box.

It can support 64gb Microsd cards from Sandisk. You have to insert it in your vibes and it will appear that you have a error n your sd all you have to do is format it and you have a working 64gb card in your phone. I'll pot picture later on for proof. I'm currently putting most of my music collection in my phone so it may take a while.
pocket now says original galaxy s handles it fine, but i'm gonna wait a few months till i get sgs 3. hopefully by then it will be cheaper too

Which SD card did you buy, can you pose link, thank you.

Blank SDXC card since this morning

I've not seen any messages from other users anywhere in this section of XDA. So i was wondering if any of this sounds familiar to anyone of you.
I bought the 64gb SDXC card from Sandisk 2 weeks ago. Formatted it in the phone when prompted after i inserted it. After this i used it for over 2 weeks and had no problems whatsoever..
This morning i woke up and the phone said it had a blank SD card in it and asked me if i wanted to reformat it...
Since i have a lot of pics, video's and other personal files on it. This is really not on my wishlist.
This weekend when i get back home, ill try to recover my files and try to reformat the SDXC card. Which i bought from a proper store so it's really not a fake since i paid over 70 euro's for the thing.
Was just wondering if more people have been experiencing any problems with these cards? Or what might be the problem with it. Furthermore, when i formatted the card in the phone itselve. Dit i formatted it into FAT32? I think it was still Exfat myselve, but this is just a Q a friend asked me.
Oh btw, i did not root the phone, so no SU or other tricks. Just a stock version.
P.s. Sorry, i had my eyes shut when posting. This should be in "Questions section" My apologies to the Mod's
Looks like your card corrupted and might still work if you format but I reckon you should get a replacement.
Hmm that's not really the answer i was hoping for. Since the card is only 2 weeks old. And what sais the new card won't be corrupted either then within 2 weeks. I am not looking forward into spending 70 euros every other 2 weeks for a new SD card and losing my data all the time.
There must be some cause to what made this happen..
Sorry mate but when this happens it's almost 100% certain the card's f ***ed, I mean it's happened to me plenty times and if you keep the card you just sitting on a timebomb of lost data.
Maybe if it's a faulty card i can get a new one since i just bought it 2 weeks ago thrue warranty service.
140 euros for 1 card is too much..
Yeah it is a faulty card so they have to replace it, but tell them this has happened more than once though because it just makes it easier.
It helps if you tell us which ROM & kernel you are using. I had the same issue with 2 of my 64gb when using AOKP with Siyah & his exFAT vold.zip mod. Since I have two 64gb cards, I formatted one with exFAT & FAT32 on the other in linux. I'm currently using AOKP & a FAT32 formatted 64gb card with no issues.
I do have a nandroid of Omega 6.0 so if I need exFAT on my 64gb for large movie files, I can go back to that.
It happened to me 2 times., when I first put my card in it said it was blank and asked if I wanted to format it. I did and the next day it said the same thing. Then I format it in my computer put the card back in the galaxy and said the card was blank. Fat32

As i said in OP i'm using stock ROM. I did not alter the device in any way.
Got my money back. Can buy another in time. Will do with 32gb now. Kinda worried it 'll happen again. Since Samsung never officially announced the device to be compatible.

Actually, I was pretty sure Samsung did say the S3 supports adding up to 64gb external storage.

Ist more a kernel thing... reading exfat, ntfs, fat32 and so on, so normally compatible in sdxc means the kernel can read exfat. Otherwise you have to format to fat32
Twiz kernels support the exFAT fs but AOSP/AOKP does not and card has to be formatted with a FAT32 fs in order to work in those ROMs... I had this same issue were my card stopped working after a week or so as well. I purchased it from Amazon so I have been able to return it for a full refund but I've been seeing more and more similar issues so am not sure if I should order another 64GB or a 32GB... either way, definitely try and get a refund, good luck!
It's a format issue. SGS3 has a problem with exFAT above 32GB of storage which eventually corrupts data after a certain amount of data has been reached on the sdxc card IIRC, so you have to format it to fat32 if you are planning to use more than that. Problem is windows cannot format 64GB in fat32 format, so you need to find 3rd party programs to do such task.
I believe 32gb exFAT is fine as plug and play however.

UPDATE (see post#30):SanDisk Ultra 32GB kiss of death? (

For the past 4-5 months, I've been seeing quite a few posts regarding issues with the SanDisk Ultra 32 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQUA-032G-U46. I bought one back in November 2012... been running it hard for 6 months without incident.. so figured I was one of the lucky SanDisk recipients.... until today! Starting today, every time I wake the phone get the "sdcard mount" message. So loaded "SD Card Monitor" from the Market (screenshot attached) and found that during deep-sleep, it unmounts/mounts/removed/bad-removal/ejects constantly (example: phone slept from 10:04am to 10:22am)...but during wake state, no issues. So I suspect I'm about to experience the SanDisk 32GB Ultra kiss of death any day now. Backed up ExtSD to computer, but now the search for a proper extSD replacement. Any recommendations? Leaning towards Samsung 32GB or 64GB...
UPDATE: SEE POST # 30
Yea I just bought mine about a month and a half go. One month in of using it, my card corrupted and I ended up having to reset it. Lost everything! Lucky I put anything of importance on my cloud before it finally died on me. :banghead:

Are you having issues with dropped calls too? I was thinking I was alone, and maybe it was a bad module? I got my phone 2nd hand, and that's my next step to order a new sdcard/sim card module and try to replace it. Data works fine and never cuts out, phone calls last maybe 30 seconds, and it's killed 2sdcards already. ..

No problem with dropped calls... can still read/write to extSD fine, but now getting all the mount/unmount warning messages (and log confirms its poised for failure).

I've used this card since November 2012. Never an issue. And have used it extensively. I currently have 5 fully ripped DVDs on there now and exchange with new ones every so often. Can't beat it. Love the way Samsung/Android has allowed add on cards to be used seamlessly with apps.

FAT32... not a single problem for 5 months until today... and I r/w the crap out of my extsd cards daily... we'll see what happens.. still works, just getting these warning messages.
Really like that Samsung SD card idea.
Back to Amazon. ...g
I purchased one of these from Amazon last week. Works like a charm, albeit only when formatted as FAT32.
It is roughly twice as fast doing read/writes than my previous Samsung 32GB card.

Could be the format of fat32 causing it used my other card with exfat format and never give me problem or maybe just bad batch of cards we got.

My Sandisk stoped working also, so I bought the samsung 32gb and it's starting to do the same thing again. I just think there is something wrong with samsung phones in general.
I haven't had any issues with my sd card or phone. But a buddy of mine has burned up 3 pny cards and one sandisk. Although it's an s3. Sounds like a phone issue. I told him to call a warranty claim.

[Q] Bad 32gb micro? ...or did I F up?

Im not a stranger to rooting (thanks due to all the awesome devs here!) But sadly a ran low on storage. Bought a 32gb Sandisk class 10 ($24...Why pass on that?!) I copied current sd to computer, then transferred to new sd card. Well, phone was incredibly laggy. Ended up freezing. Pulled battery, rebooted.... froze on samsung screen (waited almost 10 mins) Pulled battery again. Attempted to reflash current rom, but upon reboot it sent me back to recovery with message of no OS. Not one of my roms would succeed. Back to old sd card.
Now i must ask, did i miss something here? Or is it a defective card? Im a sucker for punishment. I formatted card, only putting rom files on to use. Still failed on me.
Returned to original sd card, reflashed rom. Back to normal!!
There is a known issue with SanDisk SD Cards, and the Samsung Galaxy S3. You can find more info HERE. I believe the the issue has since been resolved. You can try to format the SD Card with SD Formatter. It may save the SD Card. But either way you can follow the link I gave you. There is another link there to the SanDisk site. They should replace your card. Or you can take it to your local retailer with a copy of the link page. They should take care of the issue.

That's seems to be a matter of opinion. I still have a SanDisk Ultra SDHC 32GB Class 10 micro SD Card. I had to exchange it once. But after I received the new SD Card, I've had ZERO issues with it.

Sounds like your card is dying. New card time. Samsung or SanDisk work well and have good warranty.
This started to happen to me right before the sd card failed. Back up your stuff and get a new card. I got a 128gb Sandisk on sale a couple of days ago. They have a 10 year warranty. Good luck.
Backup asap for sure ^^^ and probably got the same card a week ago
Nothing wrong with the card. Works fine in pc and note 2. I went and took a leap of faith it was the speed of the card which the internet seemed to be leaning toward. Got a super deal on a pny 128gb hyper performance for $50 after best buy discounts. In phone with all data intact so im happy
Tks for the replies

Don't use Sandisk, went through 3 faulty 64GB cards, 2 were stuck in read only and the third stopped showing up in my tablet. Got Samsung 64GB microSD cards and they work flawlessly.

The older SanDisk version of the 64gb card was having this problem on N4's. I bought a newer version back in December and it's been great.
