Problems with 64GB micro SD card on SGS3

[KiwiCant]

Hello all,

I'm new to Samsung GS3 so please bare with me.

So I bought a 64GB mirco SD card from ebay for my GS3 as I want to use it as an MP3 player. I've formatted the micro SD to Fat32 using a free copy of EaseUS Partition. I then have dropped about 60GBs of my music into the mirco SD using a USB card reader and also direct through the phone it self (again using USB) but it never works. I've tried NTFS, ive tried dropping 10GBs of music and then 5gb at a time but it never works. It seems that the first 3+ gigs of music worked but then I get this...

What am I doing wrong please? Or... have a bought a lemon from ebay?

Thanks

Plug in the SD card into the phone and format it using the phone.

Thanks for the reply.... Yep done that, format from the phone then drag and drop with PC (windows7). That's what I did when I first got the card... trying again now tho.

If you bought it on Ebay it's most likely fake. A lot of the 32/64Gb cards are really 4Gb ones hacked to look bigger. Download H2testw from here: H2testw - Download - heise online
It will find the real capacity of the card

Hey thanks for that bit of software. It's showing that the card is 63995mb so all good there.

The guy I bought it from thinks the card is from a bad batch as a few people have complained to him... he's sending me another. I hope I don't have the same problem with the new card.

Thanks again for your help!!
