Problems with 32GB SD Card (SanDisk) - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a 32GB SD Card (SanDisk) in my Z1. I am using Media Go to transfer my music from my PC to my SD Card on my Z1.
The problem is that only 'some' of my music is transferred across correctly and other albums/tracks play as if they have been encrypted in some sort of way. The music I am transferring is playing correctly on my PC, it is only when I transfer it that it becomes a problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
*Just to add, I have no problem transferring the same music across to my 8GB card. I have two brand new 32GB cards and have the same problem of only being able to transfer about half the music, the rest is unrecognisable.*

Have you tried not using media go?

I am using Media Go and straight transferring across to the SD card

Maybe you can try formatting the 32GB SD card and copying all the music onto there again to see if it helps

Re formatted (exFAT) both the 32GB cards I have and still the problem remains that some data/music is not getting transferred. I have just tested a 16GB card (same make and specs as one of the 32GB cards) from my tablet and this works and a 32GB card that didn't work in my Z1 works in my Xperia tablet Z so it seems my Z1 is having a problem with SD cards over 16GB for some reason I don't know

Try Fat32? I find it gives me the least amount of problems. I have a sandisk 64gb in my Z1 and it works just fine. Windows won't format in fat32 natively for such a large size so maybe try the format sd option in android. I believe it does fat32 automatically.

Seconded. Absolutely zero problems with my 64GB Sandisk card formatted as FAT32. Always format SD cards on your phone.

Agree, I will suggest to try format in FAT32 because all the SDHC 32GB microSD are meant to use FAT32 natively so I don't know why you formatted a 32GB card in exFAT.

Windows will not because you have to use a specified application to format 64GB SDXC natively in exFAT to FAT32.
Z1 support exFAT and will not format in FAT32.

Absolutely not true. All the High-End devices not support all the formats like exFAT so is recommended to format them via specific application on PC and then insert the card to device. BTW, the phone will format even fake cards without problems, PC will not and you can check them as well.

If you want an SD card to work on a specific phone, why wouldn't you format it on that phone?

Is that specific phone using a special unknown partition system for the card? I don't think so. The phones are this days build with market standards including SDHC and SDXC compatibility. SDHC natively use FAT32, SDXC natively use exFAT. Not all phones support SDXC so the card have to be formatted in FAT32 to make it functional and the only way is to use specific application on PC. Formatting the SD on PC also is more efficient than OS of the phones and the main reason is that OS of any phone can't verified a faulty or fake SD card so you can losing data without even know why.

Sorry man, you are usually on point, but with this you are talking nonsense.
I have never seen or heard of an Android phone which didn't use FAT32 or exFAT, nor one that made arbitrary partions. Further, if the phone doesn't support exFAT, obviously it won't format the card to use the exFAT file system. The bit about a PC being more efficient is just total nonsense. I have formatted several different size/brand SD cards on this phone and others without having issues using them in the phone or a PC or other Android device, even. If you can satisfactorily back up anything you've said, I'll change my mind.

I make you and example, I got HTC HD2 with latest Android ICS ported from NEXUS, it not support and it not recognize a 64GB SDXC in exFAT, the only way to make working that card on HD2 is to format it in FAT32 on PC.

Right, but a phone which support exFAT and FAT32 as well will not format the exFAT card to FAT32 end even if he dose the card have huge risk to be compromise. Speaking from experience.

I never said you CAN'T format the card on the phone. It will work anyway but on PC the formatting will be more deeply efficient because you using specified application to do so. On High-End phones the formatting can be good too but you can't say is well done like on PC.
All the Sl..ts making Blo..bs, but there is always someone who do it much better! Am I wrong? :laugh:

let's go back to the topic.I have the same problem on my Z1 as well.
will this related to a slow (class 4) speed sd card?

Absolutely not, the class of the card is not an issue at all. If you have a SDHC have to be in FAT32, check it, just in case. The partition can be corrupted then will be recommended to format the card how you like.
But if your problem is the same as OP mentioned with the same application, to me the app is the main problem. Try to move the files with different application or use different media player to see if the issue still there.

I have put the 32GB cardin my Tablet Z and it's working without error but I can still not get anything over 16GB running on my Z1
Seems a bit strange to me unless it's a random 4.3 problem though I haven't heard any wide spread issues

Yes, seems a bit strange and I will suggest to check the card on PC with h2testw, just in case. If everything is ok with the card then is your phone and probably Android it self, in this scenario I will consider to flash different .290 FW.

I'm using 32GB SanDisk extreme uhs1 and never had a single issue. (well, once cos it was from a faulty batch, but your card doesn't seem to have any of my issues before replacement)
Don't use media go. I think that that's what ruins your music by encoding it like iTunes which z1 doesn't like.

Master 64 GB MicroSD SDXC unable to format/delete files

Hey guys,
Im new to the forum but ive been following quietly for a while. I thought id make my first post, a new thread because ive been having an issue which i dont know is common or not but has been killing me for the past 4 days and i havent been able to find a solution.
BASICALLY,
My MicroSD 64GB (Master UHS-1 Class 10) has all of a sudden decided not to work on me and here is the problem.
First let me establish a few things.
-> MicroSD reads on any computer (im running mac)
-> MicroSD was formatted on my Xperia Z and has been working for the last 3 weeks
-> I have ejected the MicroSD several times without properly unmounting it from the phone (being honest)
-> Files can be read and copied onto the computer
-> Files can be copied onto the MicroSD but once ejected from the computer and reinserted, the files disappear. Its as if the files that are existing on the MicroSD are locked there forever.
-> Files can be deleted and do appear to have been deleted, however once the MicroSD is reinserted into the computer, (Via usb or SD reader), the files just appear again.
Problems:
-> I am trying to format the MicroSD using Disk Utlilty on Mac but to no avail. i have tried every single option and i have even used SD formatter 3.1 which is a third party program. On mac, all i get is an error saying "Mac OSX was unable to repair the disk" -"you can still open or copy files on the disk, but you cant save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat as soon as you can."
-> windows gives me the same error. in windows format. I can do exactly the same i.e copy and paste files onto the MicroSD which disappear, i can delete files which reappear and when i attempt to format using even MS-DOS's "DiskPart" utility, which is supposed to be epic, it still does not work..
I just want to reformat the disk and kill everything on it and return it back to normal.
Ive looked at so many searches and read so many web pages, forums, blogs, everything but i could not find a solid solution. Nothing Works.
MY FINAL PROBLEM!!
Once the Micro SD is placed into the Xperia Z, a message pops up saying "preparing micro SD card.. Checking Errors" This message DOES NOT disappear for hours. ive had it on for half a day and it drained my battery to 26% before i realised that it was killing my battery. it was on standby aswell. I have an old 2GB microsd which i used and the message pops up for about 1 second before it disappears.
This is my problem. I cant use the MicroSD on my Xperia Z anymore. The phone just wont read it. It will prepare it for the next century.
If anyone has any suggestions to how i can get these haunted files off my MicroSD and get it back in working order id really appreciate your help!!
Thanks!!
FAT32, NTFS or exFAT?
Running stock or rooted?
I'm running third party software (paragon), and using NTFS.
17gb bluray movie worked without stuttering, and overall seems stable.
I'm rooted.
Thanks benziii for your reply!
My Xperia Z is rooted and with unlocked bootloader. I think it may have something to do with corrupted files? because of removing the MicroSD without unmounting it all the time perhaps? or i really dont know.
By the way its formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) at the moment =/ cant seem to do anything still. or change it.
Tired formatting in different format with no luck
& im trying to get access to a windows computer atm because i find there are many more third party apps on windows than there is on mac.
My Xperia Z is unlocked and rooted and I am using Sandisk 64gb class 10 sd card and no problems. But its just me! :laugh:
If I were to guess I'd say that the card has been corrupted. It may work with a low level format, or it may not.

1. Removing the card without unmounting it is seriously asking for problems.
2. My Xperia Z documentation says it supports up to 32gb cards. i.e. not 64gb.

Perhaps, but it's doubtful they can do anything you can't do on your Mac or Linux.
On OS X, you can run the following two items from the terminal as root:
1. fdisk
2. newfs ((I assume you want "dos" or "exfat" file system types).
Just, you know, make sure you get the drive right and don't nuke your Mac's hard drive by accident!
I thought max size was 32gb also

Officially it is, but I've seen 64gb cards referenced as working many times. I think it's just a matter of the phone not working to SDXC specifications. Though that's hardly a good reason, as everything else on the phone is first class...
Everyday is a learning day.

It seems your SD card is dead My SXZ broke one SD card (32GB Transcend Ultimate, 10 class) in the first week of using - now it is recognized as 1 GB unknown disk with RAW filesystem. So I had to buy new one (32 GB Sandisk Ultra, 10 class).
My phone just loses SD sometimes and doesn't recognize it till restart. Before installing .434 firmware update I met this problem very often. Now (after installing .434) I meet it sometimes when open stock Camera app. I think that is firmware bug, so waiting for next updates.

I was doing some research and realised that before a MicroSD card dies, it will write protect the data before the MSD card dies so that you can back up any data. you can delete files and copy files but they will autodelete themselves after the card is remounted. thats exactly the problem that i have.. oh well thanks guys. i sent the card back for replacement!! hopefully next one i wont screw over too.
Lesson learnt. never eject sd card without unmounting on phone first!! thanks guys!

Interesting.
I bought a 32GB Transcend class10 MicroSD card from Amazon at the same time as I ordered my Xperia Z.
I did manage to copy around 10Gb of music to it, using Sony Bridge For Mac before it was suddenly 'disconnected' part way through the copy process (I was filling it to 25Gb with music from an iTunes Playlist).
After that I tried it in the Mac directly and a Windows laptop, neither of which would write to the MicroSD card, some of the files could be read, but not many. While SDFormatter claimed to have formatted the card, the files (or their names at least) were still visible, further attempts at formatting the card (with SDFormatter) claimed it was write protected.
Putting it directly into the Xperia Z would cause it to reboot after 2-3 minutes.
I returned the card to Amazon. If it had worked on my Mac (or laptop) I might have kept it, but working on nothing made it useless.
I am currently using an old 8Gb MicroSD card that came with (I think...) the Sony Arc I had a few years back and it seems to work perfectly. I'm loath to buy another 32Gb card to find that it doesn't work.
I assume there is no reason why the Xperia Z shouldn't work with a 32Gb MicroSD card? Do I need to ensure that I get a different class of card, or is a class 10 card suitable? Is it just not compatible with the Transcend card?
Any suggestions you have will be most helpful.

same thing happens to me! files remove and reappear ! "chkdsk /f command" in windows shows that one of my files is cross-linked! here is the message:
\App\install\.goutputstream-5JN7ZW is cross-linked on allocation unit 1181239.
i i tried formatting with windows paragon linux (fdisk,mkfs.msdos,gparted,testdisk...)even i ran windows 98 and ran scandisk for fixing cross-link issue ! but till now no luck.
can anyone help me with this
thanks in advance!
in my opinion there is no way to repair this, just throw it in trashbin.. ive tryd almost all..
I'm in the middle of an RMA with SanDisk right now. It seems that once the sd decides to be read only to protect itself, it's done. Replacement is the only option.

Using a 512GB SD card on Note 4

Hi everyone,
Thank you in advance. I have been trying to use my Note 4 as the ultimate media device with all my music library (close to 1TB). So I read this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/half-terabyte-phone-tank-phone-550gb-t2987826) and thought it was worth a try. But I have been trying to make my Note 4 read my Kingston 512GB SD card for about 4 hours now, and nothings seems to be solving the problem.
The setup is like the following: SD card --> SD to microSD adaptor --> Note 4. I confirmed that the adaptor is working fine with Sandisk 128GB SD card, which gets mounted properly by Note 4. But when I put a 512GB SD card in it, it just shows that it's "corrupted" and asks to format it, which goes on again in saying that it's "corrupted." I have two Kingston 512GB SD cards, so I used chkdsk to fix if there's any problem with them (which I don't think is the problem, it works fine on my Canon DSLR, and Windows). So I think the problem lies with the phone.
I tried 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 stock, and few roms (CMRemix, CM12.1, TEXOdus, Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1) with few different kernels (by freeza and emotroid). BUT none of them worked...
Does anyone know of any working rom or kernel that will support 512GB SD card?
*Problem Solved* Thank you!
Out of curiosity, how did you solved the problem? Was it a bad card?

No, for some reason, my Note 4 didn't read 512 GB SD cards formatted in exFAT and NTFS properly. So I tried it with FAT32, and it works fine now (even though it has 4GB file size limit that I don't really mind).

SD card file system doesn't support exfat

I used Moto X Force before, and sandisk 64gb sd card with exfat. The sd card work fine in X Force and PC.
But when I plug it into nokia 8 , system said it doesn't support this card.
So I have to backup sd card, format it via nokia 8, and restore all the thing in the sd card.....
I plug sd card which format via nokia 8 into PC, the file system is fat 32.
Yep! That's one of the downsides of pure Android..
It is all about royalties, Google doesn't want to pay them to Microsoft so they don't support sdcards, at least in any other format than old old fat32... Exfat and ntfs are somehow owned by Microsoft...
And with fat32 we are able to use one single file no more than 4gb, that's the limit on fat32... So old so old!
one the other hand what kind of file will you move to a smartphone that is gonna be more than 4GB"s?

I stumbled upon this issue when I was transferring movies for a long flight..
And those 4k videos you film with the phone, they get really large quickly.
So is there any other possible file format that both supports +4gb files and works with Nokia 8?
Seems stupid to format 256gb SD-Card with ancient fat32, which will render the 4k video camera feature obsolete.
unless you only record in smaller chunks or get by using the internal storage space for 4k videos.
Luckily I got the 128gb model so I can at least get by without the extra storage, but it also annoyingly limits the individual files less than 4gb on the 256gb card. What a waste...

Thats too bad. My 3 year old phone mounts all filesystems including ext4, ntfs and exfat. I may have to reconsider buying this phone due to bootloader, root and filesystem problems.
Shouldn't a linux device support ext4 by default?

Sd card issue

Hello everyone,
I got my phone yesterday. When I inserted the SD card in the phone, it showed me that the SD card is not supported & it asked me to format the card as an internal storage. It's a Samsung Evo Plus 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 memory card. Is this a problem with the phone or the memory card ? The memory card was working perfectly fine until yesterday evening in my Moto G5 Plus.
I'm on the lest version of software i.e. Android 8.1 with April 2018 security patch.
Please advise...
sorry, but can you provide a screenshot of the storage settings page? might be helpful for my own case, thanks!

What was the file system format? exfat,ntfs, fat32
I had the same ask for format the sd card!
I use an Samsung Evo plus 128 Go, in ExFat file format on my previous phone (zenfone 3 ze552kl), and when i install it on my Nokia 7 plus i just have to format in fat32, now it works well!
I just save all my data on my computer before format

I also did the same. But the memory card did not take data more than 30 GB in it. I had my previous data of 37 GB, but out of that only 30 GB got copied back in the card. Also now when I try to format the SD card, it shows the device is write protected.
Have you try to format it with a computer?
Maybe your card is counterfeit sd card, (one of my friend buy a samsug 32 go, but he received a 2 go sd card..), you can check your card capacity on computer with H2testw, it's freeware you can easily download. I only find french links, so you can google it
Software is in english and german.

No problem with your sd card. Nokia phones does not support exFat
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/help/sd-card-file-doesnt-support-exfat-t3683457
Just installed Android P on my handset and my exFAT sd card works well.

Exfat really isn't supported?

That's ridiculous. I'm very disappointed.
That appears to be an new limitation in AOSP 8.1, yes, so maybe not entirely Razer's fault though I guess they could have added it if they want. There appears to be a Magisk module that adds support via fuse if you need it. Search for "vold" in the repo. Haven't tried it yet but it seems to do what you want
HUH?
So what FS is used to format large microSD cards?

Fat32, exfat requires a payment to Microsoft and I guess they didn't want to
It'll format your cards and it might make you think your card was corrupt and you'll lose your data if it's not blank
I use exfat on my 200gb SanDisk
Just saying

The phone formatted it as fat32
Idc how the phone be formats it by default.
You just can use a PC to format it in exfat if you want ?*

That's fine but the phone won't read it and will reformat it
Not true
I'm using it in the actual moment on a SanDisk 200gb
I would return the phone if there would be no option to use a filesystem that supports files larger than 4gb

That's not possible. Put the actual card in your computer and post the fs.
Are you sure you mean exfat and not ext?
Wow this is disappointing. no wonder why i couldn't use my sandisk from my sony xz premium because it was formatted in exFAT.
If you use Magisk, install Vold. It will corrupt data first time (at least it did for me) so make a back up of everything before you do, after the corruption I just factory reset, reinstalled everything and it's working fine. I use my 256 gig USB c drive that's formatted as ntfs with it. I haven't tried it yet with other formats.
same question as you.
Does anyone know of an exfat solution similar to VOLD on 9.0?
