Hi, Im using Galaxy Note 2 with android 4.1.2 firmware. I have a 64gb class 6 microsd. When i copy my music or pictures they get corrupted. I checked whether my sd is fake or not, filling it up completely and reading the files back again. At samsung's website, it says galaxy note 2 supports up to 64gb micro sd. I even changed the file system of the card to fat32 from exfat and formatted several times. What should i do
 
I had the same issue on my GS3, filenames would become messed up and mp3's would show as zero size.

I fixed my problem by formatting the card as fat32 in my computer, but it sounds like you've already tried that.

Did you do a full format or quick? Have you run any tests on the card?

Yes several times I formatted it to Fat32 and i tested it with a program which filled the card completely 64gb and then read back all the data, the test was succesfull. I dont think kingston would have made a fake card. Right now im testing the card with my action cam, im shooting a 64gb video
