Help 32gb Micro SDHC issues

So I'm new here and I have this problem: i bought an htc wildfire s which came with a 2gb card. I bought a new 32gb micro sd card, i copied all the files from my 2gb card to my laptop, then from my laptop to my new card by using an adaptor... Then i put the card in my phone.. It worked fine.. When i tried to put some music by connecting the phone to the laptop, the card stoped working and it couldn't be recognized.. My phone was telling me to insert an sd-card. When i used the adaptor again to copy the music files or put it in an old nokia phone, the card was fine.. Sometimes when the card is in the phone it suddenly stops working and the phone says to insert an sd card even though it is definetely in position... Do you think the card is fake?? Any ideas how i can fix this problem??
 
Sorry to say, but it does sound like it could be a fake... you should try testing the card with this (although you may have to try your card in a card reader to test it)
 
worth mentioning that the test software writes files to the card so remember to back up and copy any data on there 1st before testing ;)
 
update - still no reply from this company, no new microcard been sent out, so i am out of pocket, the credit card company might chase on my behalf, but say i have to give time for them (the microcard company) to check mine was faulty - so do you think they have had enough time yet !!! buyer beware please
 
some months ago i bought a 32gb micro sd card from micro sd cards UK and they turned out to be 4gb fake cards i should have known better at the price they were selling them at.

I just bought the Galaxy SIII 4G LTE. I bought this phone to watch movies mostly and of course to talk on the phone. I took the SD card out of my old Android and put it in the phone and it works fine. But when I plug the phone into my laptop it doesn't seem to be acting like a true USB device.

I have debugging checked but that didn't seem to make any difference when I did that. So I try to transfer movies from my laptop to the SD card and it says it doesn't recognize the format but it will still store the file if I want. So I say ok but then at the end of the transfer it pops up and says it has timed out and nothing has been transferred. I try tiny music files and still have the same problem. I try transferring to the internal card and there are no problems at all. I take the card out and put it into the USB adapter and transfer files on to that and then put the card back into the phone and the phone will read the files just fine. I do get messages that say the card has been unexpectedly removed for some reason. I don't want to continuously do that though because the cover seems flimsy and the tabs will probably break after a short period of time. I put the card back into the old phone and it still works great. I don't think there is a problem with the sd card.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? If you are going to tell me to program something you need to give extremely detailed instructions otherwise don't bother. I am about to take this phone back and get something that will do this. Otherwise I guess I am stuck only using the internal memory.
