It always says disk is damaged. I got it to work for a while somehow, and was able to access the disk and load files, but then I reset my phone and the error message comes up again. Then I loaded it into a computer and the files I had loaded were gone, but files I had previously loaded and deleted were there. Phone is also unable to format the card. I thought this phone was supposed to be compatible with these things? I just don't trust the card, since data is on it one second and gone the next. I don't really want to put anything important on it at this point. Anyone else on a US version having any luck with a 64gb card. Mine is a Sandisk UHS-1 card.

I'm going back to my class 4 32gb. Too bad, I blew $70 on this card.
 
I had the same issue trying my 64GB in my Maxx. I used it in one of my laptops before and apparently it gets formatted for Windows, but needs to be FAT32 for an Android phone. Did you put yours in your phone brand new or had you used it in a computer before using in your phone? I have not been able to get mine to work, but know others who have in the Maxx forums.
