Micro SD C10 recognized but not working

[oli2290]

Hello there,

I bought this phone yesterday and I'm facing an issue with my memory card (Verbatim 8Gb C10). The card worked and is still working with xperia Tipo.

The thing is, the card is recognized but when I try to Transfer data to SD card, it always says Transfer Interupted. 
I also tried to take a picture and store it in SD card, but with no success. 

Funny thing though, I put memory card of class 6 or below, and work without problems (transfer files and can save pictures to it).

The thing is that it's a shame the card to work with low ranged phone like Tipo and not with mid-ranged SP.
To record and save FullHD video the phone needs at least card from class 10. 

So is it something wrong with my device or ?

Also to mention, with the incoming update (4.3) it would be nice to have an option to transfer apps and games to SD card.

There might be compatibility issues,nothing wrong with your device.I have seen that sony devices having problems with samsung,kingston,verbatim cards,even with sony cards.

Well that kinda s*cks. 

I also forgot to mention I tried with Samsung 32Gb C10. Same issue.

I know it must be frustrating.Apps cannot be moved to SD unfortunately,the option is not available.There are few that allow their storage to be hold on the SD card.Have you tried low level formatting the card before using it?

the card is nt the best for the sp to get no interuptions , try to get sdxc card works like a charm i use the 64gd sdxc without any issues

I've tried everything. I formated using PC, with standard format option and also using MiniPartionTool, but no success.
I've tried formating using phone, but nothing.
I also did low level formatin using HDDLLF.4.30 software program, but that didin't help either.


@dm84
How so? When officially SP supports only up to 32gb. Also, SDXC is exFat filesystem. I think SP doesn't support that either. So how come you can use it flawlessly ?

I do not think it is up to SDHC or SDXC,there are compatibility issues...

[dm84]

I used the regular type when I first got my SP and it gave same issues but since I got sdxc not one issue since July last year and I think the Chinese made cheap SD cards also have faults being compatible with this device

@ oli2290 I formatted the card in the device and smooth sailing since then
