32 GB microsd card issue

ashu215 — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 06:32:03 GMT

I bought a 32 GB microsd card for my sola mobile, but can't add more than 5GB data in the card.

I have mounted it on my phone and when i connect it to my laptop and try to add data to the card through my laptop, I cannot add more than 5GB to it.

Have verified its capacity and it can contain around 29 GB data.

An answer would be much appreciated

Cheers !!

this is a limitation,

if you want to add very large files, you must connect your sd card by a memory card reader.

the Sola handdle my 8G music just fine.

Fat32 have one limit on fle size (no files bigger than 4G)

This might be an actual fault with the SD. What brand is that card ?

That 5 GB is one single file or ?

Do you have memory card adapter ?

If yes then take the card outta your phone and use it with card adapter to transfer files. If you face the same problem then format the card using PC ( fat32 )

Then see if the problem exists
