I have had no issues thus far with my device with regard to the SD card. Everything works fine with that.

I was wondering the same thing. Here's what I got from the Google developer release notes on Honeycomb 3.2 "Media sync from SD card: On devices that support an SD card, users can now load media files directly from the SD card to apps that use them. A system facility makes the files accessible to apps from the system media store." So I agree with yendred... this appears to be a Honeycomb issue. I'm thinking that there's a chance Google will add more SD functionality with a Honeycomb update in the future (they have been gradually ratching up SD functionality with each update of Honeycomb). But, that being said, I wouldn't hold my breath. It seems like manufacturers aren't pushing Google to develop a way to let consumers spend their cash on some third party's SD card when they'd rather force you to shill out an extra $100 to them for the larger internal memory version.... Go figure. I'm reminded of how users figured out ways to connect usb flash drives to ipads using the camera adapter so Apple quickly rushed out a software "update" to iOS that reduced power to the port rendering USB drives unusable via that "work around" (which, incidently, made it hard for photographers who were actually trying to use the "camera adapter" for their camera's CF card, to get their pictures off the card) So long as the business model is designed around tiered pricing for tablets based on internal memory, I don't think any of these manufacturers really want us to be able to add our own memory. I do hope I'm wrong, because the ability to fully utilize removable memory is what's holding me back from any tablet purchase. Sony, Apple, or otherwise.

4.4.2 is most recent update, but I do not recommend KitKat on this device. The Dell support site is flooded with complaints. Jelly Bean worked well.

If this was a new tab then i would say YES you have a defect there if you put in a 16gb sd card moved all you can onto it and still can't load, that is a big problem. I load tons of stuff on mine with no problem and still have 8gb. I also clear the cache using Easy Cache Cleaner and History Eraser. You should check your settings and in settings application manager first, see if there is something there causing the problem. But i would send it back.

The Android operating systems, since KitKat came out, have removed the ability to install applications to the external memory card for security reasons. You can put your media on the card (movies, music, pictures, etc..) but apps are going to only install to the internal memory. There are some possible ways around this limitation, but they all involved rooting the device and I would only recommend trying if you are technically skilled. You can google for them if you feel up to that.

Hi! I must say you did a great job!!! Thank you very very much! It was so frustrating to see unworking memory. People from Leapfrog did nothing to solve the problem. Thanks again for your kind help regarding SD recognition problem.Another problem is how to remove files. The synchronisation doesn't works. Did you try it?I would appreciate very match your help.Cheers

Hi JasonThanks for your help, but in my case it did not work. The computer disk management shows the SD Card, but reports that there is no media. Therefore there is no option to format the card. Is there another way to get this working? Thanks, Urs

To the best of my knowledge (i.e. I looked at my tablet) that is on board memory - NOT the SD card. It's a great tablet, I really really like it and I really have had no problems so far (4 months in).

That's strange I Haven't had any problems geting the sd card to work with it. If you are using a SD extreme card it won't work. I would make sure that it's an SDHC card and not SDHX.

Stay away from this particular card, its slow and has realiablity issues. Stay with a name brand. As for if your tablet supports a 64gig sd card. Check the manufacturers website. They should have a compatiblity list.

Marquan Lee, Sorry, I have no idea. I probably should have specified in my initial comments that I purchased this SD Card for my Android Razr M. It looks to me as though it would work with your Tab 4 - but it may well depend on which version/variant of the Tab 4 you have. I'd suggest asking in a good Galaxy tech Support Forum or etc.; but really - if your Tab 4 has a Micro SD Slot - why Wouldn't it work..? If it didn't, that would be stupid.

I agree it works well even with 4GB card. When I use external card reader to upload pics to the card and then I plug the card to the frame itself. Its weird that whan I use 2GB CF card I can upload pics via cable PC-FRAME but when I use SD card I have to use external reader.Anyway looks like it way to go by now. I also dont feel secure to update to the firmware that is older than what I curently have and hope that upcoming 10" model wont have such issues.Thanx for reply.

Sorry I never put an SD card in mine. Only way I can think of is to take the SD out and put it into an card reader. Or keep looking in the menu.

Latest versions of android do not support apps on SD. Now if you root your device (and sometimes it requires a custom ROM to be flashed as well), depending on the device, there are 3rd party apps that will work, but results vary by device , app and even brand/type of mSD card. .Sam

I bought the micro sd card for Europe and also this update. I tried to load the update the night before the trip and I failed to get it to work. Allow time to get tech support before you go. I kept it to try again. Sd card was great. I drove from Paris to Biarritz in France with many stops in between. Then Santiago Spain through Portugal to Gibraltar again with many stops. Always had the streets big and small.
