SanDisk Ultra 128 GB Micro SDHC Card and Sony Xperia 1II

[Grenville]

Anybody else having a problem with this?

The phone doesn't seem to like the card. It says that it is an unsupported SD card, and then gives an option to format it. Choosing that option, it goes to 20% completed, then you get the message "Your card is ready to use" - but then the alert for unsupported card shows again immediatelyn and you are back to square one.

Thoughts and suggestions very much appreciated.  The card is fine in my old phone (Moto G 5).

I would firstly check the card using H2test-w to make sure that it hasn't got corrupted.
Secondly what version of the ultra is it? For the modern 10bit recording on phones, some now will not support older cards which speeds are too slow, (class 10 and under) in fact some UHS U1 cards are deemed as pretty slow by modern recording standards.
So, the big question is, which ultra is it?

Oh thanks for your help. It's this one:

It could be that it's too slow. I used that card in the xz2 premium and it failed on any hdr video recording or SD burst image taking, I replaced it with the SanDisk ultra v30 and that worked fine, but now with the cameras being more advanced, I'm using a Samsung Evo select as it's mega fast.

I'm using this in mine without issue:

Works in my dual 1080p dash cam setup too.
