Lenovo Tab S8-50F Micro SD Card Disconnects Unexpectedly

About every 4 hours the SD card disconnects.  Its a 64GB SanDisk MicroSD card.  I can take it out and put it back in and it works fine again, but then after a few hours...blink...out again.  Very frustrating.  Seems to be a firmware problem rather than hardware.  Please fix.

Latest firmware for me and a 64 GB card, although I did see another user with a 32 GB card on this forum with the same issue.

  • Lenovo TAB S8 50F touch screen - additional touches when charged w/ insufficient charge

    As the title says 
    There are additional registered touches when the tablet is charging with an insufficient charge that follow the same horizontal line (going across the tablet or the same y coordinates) that appear at mostly random locations (although they start at the opposite side where the single touch is applied). 
    Issue can be replicated and seen especially when typing,  issue is clearly seen when "show touches" is on (under developer options). Issue present after restarting device; it is not always seen as soon device is charging with an insufficient charger but very soon afterwards (within minutes). 
    Issue not present when device is discharging or charging with provided charger or higher amperage. 
    Model: Lenovo TAB S8-50F
    Android version: 4.4.2
    Kernel version: 3.10.20
    Build number: TABS8-50F_S000164_ROW
    Software version: TABS8-50F_141103
    Hardware version: Lenovo PAD TABS8-50F
    Device is 2 days old. 
    It'd be good to know if this is replicated/observed on other devices.

    Well...That's why the update failed to install.If you root the device and uninstall pre-installed system apps(those that you can't normally uninstall)  OTA updating stops working.
    Try to perform a factory reset (in the hope it will restore those apps...slim chance but worth a try).
    If that dosen't work the only way you will be able to OTA update (and,no...manually downloading the update>installing it from recovery also won't work) is to completely reflash the stock firmware(on your own risk).
    Unfortunately you'll have to find out how to do that on your own.Sorry
    PS:Generally speaking it's better to ''hibernate''(after rooting) not uninstall if you want to OTA update in the future.

    2. Swap to video and you have zoom like 3x or more (you cannot unzoom only more zoom up to 6x more)
    Called lenovo support and they have no idea how to help except send us brand new unit for service but what about rest of those two i try in store with same issue should bestbuy send them too
    Here are screenshot`s so you can better understand what im talking about.
    1. This is when you take a picture and all is greate

  • How do I connect Tab S8-50F with PC using USB?

    When I first joined my Laptop (Windows 8.1) and tablet the Laptop identified it as a CD drive containing 1 file (Smart Assist installer). Windows now shows an empty CD drive E: (plus the hardware DVD drive D and a Lenovo TAB S8-50F icon, which does nothing, when clicked.How can I access the tablet's storage in Windows?Thanks in advance,Steve

    I'm not familiar with that device, but I doubt that it advertises itself over Bonjour, so you would have to select the IP tab in the printer Add dialog, enter the IP address, and choose either LPD or IPP for the protocol (either one might work.)

  • Built in Micro SD card reader suddenly disappeared (miix 2 11 3G, win8.1 64bit)

    Lenovo Miix 2 11 256GB 3G windows 8.1 64 bit.
    After 1.5 months I just registered today that my 32GB micro SD card doesnt show in Windows 8.1. Card is readeable fine with generic USB multi card reader. I have also tried 16GB Samsung Micro SD card and same.
    No sound when inserting micro SD card, no reaction whatsoever.
    Reinstalled with supplied Genesys USB Mass Storage Device (4.3.0.7)
    Reinstalled with newest drivers from lenovo website (same version though)
    Tried this workaround
    http://kingoftweaks.blogspot.de/2014/03/sluggish-sd-slot-and-fix-for-miix-2-8.html
    Any idea what else to do? My next step is backup of the entire disk and do recovery to see if tis hardware or software related.

    Updating the BIOS fixed this for me.

  • Acer Iconia Tab 8 A1-840 FHDSD card mount problem

    I bought the Iconia tab 8 (A1-840 FHD) and was disappointed. Due to incorrectly configured firmware - SD card when the device is connected properly mounted within the system (such as an external USB drive), there is no way to transfer files to it (the card is locked for writing applications) can not be set as a cache for Google Music, no connection mode as USB drive when connected to a computer. In fact, it is not working appendage and is not intended for storing information. When can I expect to fix this problem? Why was it decided to change the default for all other tablets on the market functionality?

    I have not been able to use my micro SD card that I bought for my Acer iconia tab 8 from  day 1 as it is not functional due to whatever changes that were made prior to boxing and shipping out to the public. On the box and in advertising it is listed as a feature which constitutes fraud in my opinion. And if there is some round about way of using it that is not good enough. You should be able to utilize the card slot/function just as you would if it were a camera or a laptop computer. Even though I have not been able to use it I have left it in my tablet and when I turned my tablet on I got a notification that it was damaged and to try to reformat it. It's funny that I can't use it but the tablet somehow damaged it! Double whammy! So what is Acer going to do to fix this situation for all of us who have purchased tablets with useless card slots? No excuses or be either. Consumers, like myself, are tired of being lied to and taken advantage of. Yes laptops and tablets are more affordable then ever but that does not mean quality and customer service should be null and void because we are getting such a good deal.

  • 6500 Slide micro SD card issue?

    Just brought the 6500 Silde in St Maarten it seems to a really nice phone bar a few bugs I can live with except for one.
    When you set the phone up and load images/mp3's to the micro SD card it works all fine and well until you put another SIM card in and the phone no longer recognises the SD card until you put the original SIM back in again. This is an issues because I move countries alot and use local SIM cards where ever I am.
    Is there a fix or someway to over come this? I checked all the security side of thing but didn't see anything that resembled a lock on access to the SD memory??????
    Help?

    Horton,
    to make sure that it has a format that is suitable for Macs, put the microSD card in its adapter and insert the adapter into your MacBook Pro’s SD card slot. From Finder, press Command-Shift-U to open the Utilities folder, and run Disk Utility.app in that folder. When you start Disk Utility, it should show all of your drives —  your internal hard drive, your internal SuperDrive, and the microSD card — on the left-hand side of its window. Presuming that it does show the microSD card, select it, then select the Erase tab that appears on the right-hand side of the window. Select one of the formats in the Format dropdown menu [“Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” is fine if your microSD card will only be used on Macs; “MS-DOS (FAT)” would be better if you need to use it on other devices also], give the microSD card a name in the Name box, and press the “Erase…” button to format it. When it finishes, close Disk Utility, and the microSD card should appear with the name that you just gave it on your desktop.

  • Downloads to micro sd cards

    Is it possible to download my playlists from I tunes or my I pod to a micro sd card and if so how do I do it?

    I will be checking about the File Allocation Tale versions/types that will be supported with this unit.
    What's the exact issue that you're experiencing? What's the brand and capacity of the micro SD card & card reader that you're using? It maybe an issue caused by the software compression of the USB stick that the unit cannot read or it needs a password.

    Compare the roaming charges from the German carrier with services like those:

  • How to Root a Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 2015 version

    I am not responsible for any damage that may affect your Device! Rooting is the first step to customise your device. Without rooting absolutely 'extraordinary' nothing is possible. Yes your warranty becomes void after that. So chill. No matter where you read that its very risky or something like that, I'll say refrain from going to those sites. They are just putting unnecessary fear into your mind. Most probably they fear You could make your device function better than them.So lets go on with it. I've made it simple for you. Just follow the steps. Step 1: Download and install Kingo Android Root. (THE LAST VERSION)Step 2: Double click the desktop icon of Kingo Android Root and launch it.Step 3: Plug your Android device into your computer via USB cable.Step 4: Enable USB Debugging mode on your Android device.USB Debugging mode enabled is a necessary step of Android rooting process.*INPORTANT: Pay attention to your device screen for a prompt window. Tick "Always allow from this computer". If you don't, you will probably get yourself an OFFLINE DEVICE.5. Read notifications carefully before rooting your device.6. Click "ROOT" to root your device.Kingo Android Root will employ multiple exploits on your device, which will probably take a couple of minutes. In the rooting process, your device may be rebooted several times. Do not be panic, it is perfectly normal. And once it begins, please DO NOT touch, move, unplug or perform any operation on your device.7. Root succeeded, click "Finish" to reboot your device.8. Check the root status of your device.9-Enjoy your Root in your new Lenovo Tab 2 A10 *Android rooting is a modification process to the original system, in which the limitations are removed and full-access is allowed and thus resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps and even facilitate the removal and replacement of the device's operating system with a custom one. Rooting your device will immediately void your warranty...

    I was able to root it using Kingoroot, but it needed some help! Kingo said the root was successful, but the tablet was not really rooted. Some apps, like Greenify, would not work correctly. I unrooted, then rerooted with the same result. The last time I did this, the Kingo Superuser app said it needed an update to its binary. Instead of updating it, I installed Super SU 2.46 and then had it update its binary. After a restart, I was fully rooted. I have not removed the Kingo Superuser app or updated Super SU. If it is not broken, do not fix it! ;p). I also was interested in installing Xposed, but at the start of the installation, it warned me that the app was not compatible with some of the tablets hardware (processor or chipset?), so I removed the installer. I would not install it until Xposed is updated. The only other thing I would like to do is install Clockwork Mod recovery, but I am not sure if it is compatible with the Tab 2.

  • I'm using a micro sd card inside USB adapter but it won't mount on my Macbook Air 2012

    Hi everyone,
    Really puzzled at the moment because I just purchased a Kingston 64GB Class 10 Micro SD card and it came with a USB adapter to plug into my mac. The problem is that it won't mount, I just get a pop up saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I open up Disk Utilty and I get the following info:
    Mount Point : Not mounted
    Partition Type : Windows_FAT_32
    Capacity : 67.11 GB (67,107,815,424 Bytes)
    Everything else is blank. Does anyone know what Windows_FAT_32 is and how I can get my Micro SD card to work on my Mac? Also note that when I plug it into a Windows PC, it loads up fine and my Macbook Air is also running OSX Yosemite Dev Preview 6. Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated
