Issue with 32 gig micro SDHC card

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I bought a 32 gig card (not from Verizon) class 4 and have used Motorola's linking system. Itunes Agent, as well as several others and sometimes I can get the 3000 songs loaded and sometimes it hangs attempting.

I have even copied them manually from my pc to the host adapter which seems to work but......

Whenever placed in the droid x and you try to use the music player for more than one or two songs or use the camera it hangs up and ultimately reports the card as damaged. I take the card out put it back in the adapter card and my pc can still read it so it almost seems like it's not the card?

HELP!!!!!

What brand of card are you using. Some like Sandisk are very inexpensively made and fail in phones/cameras even though they seem to work properly in a computer. Knock-off memory cards from China are also notorious for this.

Did you format card before using it? I have ran into simular issues when I simply place a card in and start using without formatting first.

Yes. More times than I care to think of. It is a SanDisk so apparently that might be the issue? Oddly, that is the same brand that Verizon tried to sell me.

That is strange I never had any issues from SanDisk, I am actually using the 32 Gig in my device now without issues, has this been a issue from day one when you bought it or did this started recently? I think you may have got hold of a defective card. Does it read card fine before you load anything on it because you might also have some bad audio files that the phone is having issues reading, try coping just a few files and see what happens.. If it works fine with then i would say it may be corrupt files.

One last thing to consider, there has been shady companies that figured out a way to get smaller cards read as a 32gig card and change labels but when individuals get into coping data to the cards it got to it maximum storage size (Real Size) it stops coping or reads low space even tho more space is suppose to be still available and card has issues reading card... Hope this isn't the case, but always a possibility.

I've never had any problem with SanDisk cards, including the 32GB SanDisk that I purchased from Verizon as soon as they had them available for the Droid X. I know there are some bogus cards around that will cause problems, though.
