soo i bought a 32gb off ebay. it was shipped from china, i got it today and put it in my phone. well come to find out it dosnt work. so i went back onto ebay to get another one, well i keep seeing a bunch that look like scams (post that are excatly the same just diff prices) so my question is where can i get one at a discounted price?
 
It really depends on which card you get. Some people have reported that 32GB SD cards work with their Xperia, but others have reported it not working.


or is it the fact that your memory card is not working altogether?
 
its not working at all. i put it into my computer and got nothing. put my 8gb which is currently in my x10 into my computer and everything came right up

What brand is it?

Can you provide the exact link as to where you purchased it? if you can I will find it alot easier to help you with your problem :)
 
See if you can do this, and let me know if it works...

1. Pop the memory card into your phone.
2. Connect the phone to a USB port on your PC.
3. Drag the notifications bar down
4. Select USB connected.
5. Select Mount.
6. Open My Computer on your PC.
7. Right-click on the Removable Disk icon associated with the phone, and select Format.
8. Under File system, select FAT32.
9. Make sure Quick Format is NOT checked.
10. Click Start.

After that, see if it works :)

If it doesn't work, insert your memory card into a memory card slot or USB memory card reader on your pc, and follow steps 6-10 above :)

If it still doesn't work, let me know and I will try to help you further :)

So i'm assuming your computer recognises the card is connected?

Try FAT32 quick format
 
well idk lol i havnt tryed to add anything to it, but let me do that and ill let you know. by the way, thanks for your help!
 
well no, i tryed to put songs on it and it says "there in not enough space on removable disk". however when i tryed to format it earlier it deff said 32gb but it wouldnt format at that point.
 
Sounds EXACTLY like my experience with a 32GB SDHC again off eBay, again from CHINA, again shows 8GB, again couldn't do squat with it...
Thats why I actually bought a legal one from the Sandisk site, where I knew it would work, and it did....


Good luck.
 
yea, i searched google for the full name of the item shown on ebay and it came up with a massive thread in the main forum of this site and apperantly alot of people have had this happen. so i filed a claim, but anyways there is a program that you can get to check and see if it actually 32 or not, i did mine and it came up at 8mb. i wouldnt be to mad if it was 8gb lol i can actually half way use that. but i settled for a 16gb off amazon, it was a scandisk so im hopping it works, if not ill just put out the 200 for a 32 straight from scandisk
 
I guess 8MB is a couple of songs... :)

I'll wait for 32GB class 6 or higher. The stock class 2 card is too slow.
