Why won't anything else move to my 128 gb memory card?

[AC Question]

I bought a 128 gb memory card for my phone and I put in in and moved 2 apps onto it, but I can't move anything else on it because it says storage is full. But when I go to the storage it still says that 128 gb is still available. Could someone help me with this? What do I need to do?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Did you use the Move to SD option in the Settings>Apps menu, or did you format the card as Internal Storage?

The card could be counterfeit. Install SD Insight to see if the card is genuine or counterfeit. Counterfeit cards are programmed to report more storage than they actually have, and if you try saving more than the card can actually hold, then files can start getting corrupt.

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy grand prime and I used the move to SD option. Also I just noticed this, it also does something to my photos, a while after I take a photo it goes away leaving a black screen

Did you run SD Insight yet? The card is behaving as if it's either counterfeit or corrupt. If SD Insight shows that the card is valid, then go to Settings>Storage, Unmount the card, remove it, and insert it into your computer. Can the computer read these files? Backup as much as you can right now, then run chkdsk to look for bad sectors: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html.
