32gb kingston micro sd not working..

Kayo323 · December 17th, 2010, 01:36 AM

I recently bought a kingston micro sd 32gb "class 6" on ebay and at first it seemed to work fine then after I restarted my phone all of my media was missing ac/dc programs that I moved to the sd card was all corrupt. This card wasn't made in america but had chinese writing on it. Any solutions should I just try to return it?

Did you buy it from a retail store? If you bought it online, chances are its just a fake card. If not, try to format the card under settings.

Actually I got it off ebay.. Tried formatting it through the phone and pc already.. So nothing I can do if it's a fake eh? It installs only two folders of the phone. The android one and the lost directory folder

If you got it off ebay there is a 99% chance that its a fake memory card. Get a refund.

This is why I quit buying memory cards off ebay. I got fakes twice. Now I pay more but get them from newegg.

That sucks 70 bucks wasted if they don't give me my refund. Messaged the guy and he still hasn't responded yet

Yep during this time of the year SCAM rates spike way high... Sorry bro but keep the faith he might just be out of town for the holidays.... Good luck either way!!!

same thing just happened to me...32gb class 6 kingston micro sd. lesson learned; now comes the really fun part, where i likely fail to receive a response from the seller and have to initiate a fraud claim with ebay! woo hoo!!!

Question. Why Class 6 and not Class 10? Can the phone use Class 10 cards?

Hello, newbe here. From what I understand they don't even make class-6 micro sd-cards in 32GB yet so, that's a red flag right there. I just bought a Kingston class-4 32GB from Newegg and it works fine. Sorry to here what happened and, I hope you can get your money back. If you bought it through paypal you should contact them if you don't here from the person.
