I know this is really 100% totally irrelevant, but its super important to me. Does anybody know how to get a micro-SD to work? I put it in the adapter and the adapter into a universal memory bank but Windows 7 can't seem to read it. All I need is to put files on it. Plz help me if u can.

Again, the most likely problem is that you have a microSDHC card (4GB+) but that you have an older SD card reader which isn't compatible with the higher-capacity SDHC cards. If that is the case, then you'll have to get a different reader, or just connect via your phone as mentioned above.
Apparently some older SD card readers can't even read cards above 1GB, incidentally.

Ok I have an 8GB card for my Tilt but i just bought a 16GB card and I want to transfer my files from the 8gig to the 16gig. The problem is my pc (HP a230n) can't read either one of the cards. I know that it's because they are SDHC cards but I can't seem to find anything online that'll give my pc the capability to read them. Can anyone help me out?
how are you putting the cards into the pc
via a reader and adapter or maybe using the phones mass storage utility??
please enlighten us
The card came with an adapter so that's what I'm trying to use.
try using the phone as the reader u should get a pop up asking if you want to use as a usb mass storage device
hopefully the pc with then pickup the card
also try using on a different pc with both the adapter and the phones usb utility
I've done it that way before but it's a lot slower like that. I want the cards to actually work with the pc directly. Once I'm done transfering everything to the 16gig I'm gonna have the 8gig just sitting there so I figure I'd put it to use but it's kinda hard when I have to put it in my phone to use it.
I just finished transfering all my files to the 16gig through the phone but I would still like to be able to do it directly through my pc in the future.
then try and find a ppc tool thatll format the card
we know the ppc will pick it up but not the pc
THIS little bastard did the trick perfectly. No need for a firmware update.
job well odne then

I have heard reports that you can't use a card > 16Gb in the tablet but that's unconfirmed AFAIK.
I've also heard rumours that the keyboard's full-size SD card slot will take SDXC format cards which supports >32Gb capacity but again I've seen no confirmation of that.
I am snapping this up as soon as it's released here.
Questions on the storage:
1-As mentioned above, is this confirmed that the tablet microSD won't accept anything larger than 8GB?
2- If i get the dock and say I have a 16gb microsd card in the tablet and 32gb sd card in the dock, i should be able to access BOTH of these from the tablet (while docked) correct? So theoretically, I would have 16GB-built in flash on tablet + 16GB microsd card on tablet + 32GB SD card in dock = 64GB?
3-I just want to find out if by docking the tablet, the tablet storage just acts like another drive?
Thanks

1- Even though I have the original manual here as a pdf, there's no info on what is the maximum size of SD card in the tablet slot.
2- I'm 99% sure that it's like that. Everything else would be stupid because many android applications store data on the (tablet) sd card.
3- yes, quite sure it does.
As a plus, you can use the USB 2.0 ports to add external hard drives.
Quote from manual:
USB Port (2.0)
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing devices, flash disk drive and hard disk drives.

There's a way to use USB host without the dock? I don't want to buy the keyboard because i've already got a 13" notebook for mobility, i just need a tablet but the USB host is necessary for me.

Thanks for the reply!
In that case, I can't wait to get this tablet what a great concept, best of both worlds. No need to buy a case, just shut the lid and you can carry it on travel without worrying too much just like a laptop, with all the various expandability options, no need to worry about HDD space either.
When combined with dock, it actually has 2 3.5mm sockets, which means I can use 1 device and myself and my wife can watch the same thing with 2 headphones and not worry about viewing angles thanks to the IPS screen...
So long as the 16GB tablet+dock comes in at around $500 or less, I am good...!

Any answer on maximum capacity?

Did you by any chance find out what is the maximum capacity of the microSD card that can be used in the tablet?
I have a 16Gb class 10 installed and working perfect. I'm just thinking to purchase one of 64Gb and I'm not sure it will work.
There is no rated max capacity, I've see people who put 128GB cards in there (NTFS formatted) that work fine.
That's great news. I'll try to find a good deal on a 64Gb card and use it with my Transformer
Does anyone know if we can connect an external USB drive to the TF101 without the dock? Thanks.

yes you can but you need to mod your charging cord or buy the asus proprietary port/usb dongle
When i got this tablet, it came with a 16 GB Lexar Micro SDHC card. The only problem is that my TF-101 doesn't recognize it even though it says preparing External Storage. I have a SD card adapter, but idk if it will work with a SDHC, so idk if I can format it to Fat32. Any ways to solve this?
Plug it into a PC if you can, and check what filesystem its formatted as. Then try reformat it to fat32.
And just to clarify, the "HC" part in SDHC simply stands for "High Capacity", which generally means SD cards larger than 2GB.
Some devices can have issues with certain SDHC cards (like my Wii and my N7B), but to my knowledge TF101 is not one of those devices.
Of course, that said, that doesnt mean some weird china-knockoff brand will work, but Lexar isnt that bad and shouldnt pose any issues imo.
So uh, yea, try reformatting it to fat32.
I've several MicroSD cards. One of them, a 16GB one, is unable to work with TF using internal slot. The card works in my PC under Linux and/or Win7, but NOT in TF using internal slot. If I plug an external SD reader in the dock USB port, card is read without any problem.
Of course my other cards work like a charm with internal slot. Why? I don't know.
My solution: use this 'special' SD microUSB card in other device and buy a new one with my TF.
My Lexar 32gb class 10 quit working suddenly as well...the past couple of days it has not been recognized when in the micro SD slot BUT when I put it in an adapter and insert it in my dock it will work just fine. The only thing I have changed was update to the latest OC ICS kernels...wonder if that's the issue?
Hi,
I've got a problem with transfering bigger files than 4GB to my micro SD card.
My card is in exFAT format and and it should support that big filesizes, but in my case, it doesnt.
In my opinion that could be caused by OS in device (Im running Android 2.3.6 on Galaxy Beam)
or by Windows (7), I use USB cable to transfer.
So, anyone have any solution? Actually, I just need to get one big file to micro SD, anyway.
I also figured out, that it might be caused by using USB connection with card mounted in phone. So I can buy SD card USB reader (I do not have laptop with SDslot), but its a least option.
Can anyone help me?

People im looking to buy a 64 gb mem card for the s4 but would a Micro SD XC type work or just a micro sd?
Also should i be wary when buying from ebay or just get it from amazon for a couple quid more??
Based in the UK - if that helps
cheers, all
Yes Micro SDXC will work on the galaxy s4, it has somekind of extension which i forget what is it. If u want u can change or reformat the extension to fat32 so your s4 can read it..

Do not buy off ebay. Lots of counterfeit and scam products. Buy somewhere that you can be sure of what you are getting. Also, some people are reporting problems with SanDisk - mine works fine, but there are enough reports that maybe the new ones have issues.
I am not sure what format the phone puts on the card. But most of the time you can just pop it in the phone and use it. If the phone doesn't recognize it, it will ask you to format. Exfat has the advantage of working with files bigger then 2GB, but unless you are copying movies (that have not been resized) then this should not be an issue. Most phones do NOT support exFat, but unless you are swapping the card between devices, this should not be an issue either.
So, I would just pop the card in the phone and start using it. If you don't usually remove it, you could format it on the phone first, just for kicks (I never do unless it asks me) and you should be good to go. Windows handles Fat32 and ExFat, so there is no real issue with the computer.
HTH!
i had issues with a sandisk 64gb microsd on 2 different s4's. these were purchased from Amazon so they were legit.
switched to a samsung microsd 64gb, also bought via amazon, and it just plain works. and is faster on the phone - mounting or unmounting happens instantly. the sandisk took time. etc...
