Re: [PROBLEM] External storage card in T-Mobile S3 (SGH-T999) NOT RECOGNIZED

What problem was fixed?

And the reason why I am asking about the origin of the card is there are a few tricks that are done on cards if you do not buy from a good source.

Such examples are:

1) Make a 2gb card show 32gb in its settings, this can be caught once a large file is copied to the card that is bigger then 2gb.

2) Make a 2gb card show 32gb but as you write data to the card, the card automatically rewrites itself over and over to make it appear like a 32gb card. The only way to find this is by copying over 2gb of data and opening or sha1 checksum the file and see if its still ok.

3) When factories close down, the workers activate the factories and make cards using low quality materials or take cards that have failed Q/A

Those are some of the problems that can face sd cards, that is why it is important to buy from a good source.
