Hello,
I have updated my Tornado with WM6 - works great ; )))
Now I tried to use my 4GB microSD card with a miniSD card adapter in my tornado, but it doesn't find the card.
It's a 4GB microSD HC from SanDisk.
Is there a solution for this problem ? (another driver or something else)
Thanks, Newchurch
Tornado specs only support 1GB, but 2GB do work.
We are currently trying to port SDHC driver, but we have many problems, we don't even know if the card reader on the phone supports SDHC.
So you just go to wait
isnt there mini sd cards with 4 gb but without the damn HC?
like here (german ebay)
http://cgi.ebay.de/4GB-miniSD-Speic...tcZphotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
why porting the other type? any advantages?
I bought a miniSD 4gb TOPRAM from eBay and it works great on my T-Mobile SDA with WM5 and WM6
Here is the same thing i bought: eBay miniSD 4gb TOPRAM
I thought all cards exceeding 2GB are SDHC ? HC = high capacity

Not necessarily - some 4G SD cards are still no-HC. Dunno about the mini/microSD cards, though - to my knowledge, there're no no-HC 4G microSD cards.
Disk2Go seems the offer microSD non-HC in 4GB fashion, at least their website says so (and the online dealers I've found offering it):
http://www.disk2go.com/xx_EN/memorycard.php?id=microsd
From what I could gather, getting a 4GB miniSD non-HC 4GB to work in a Tornado is a matter of brand and luck.
Couldn't find any reports yet about how the chances of getting a 4GB microSD non-HC to work in a Tornado using a miniSD adapter are, but I guess since it's just simple wire extension in a bigger housing (no electronics needed), I'd say it *should* work.
However, I've yet to find a 4GB microSD + miniSD adapter combo for sale. Let me know if you do!
But I doubt the speed of non HC card above 2GB
One of my friends is going to buy a Droid X and Verizon is offering a 32GB MicroSD for $100 with the purchase of a Droid X. My friend already has a 16GB MicroSd and does not want to spend any more money. He offered to get me the 32GB MicroSD from Verizon if I gave him the money. Does anyone know what's the highest capacity MicroSD supported in the Captivate? Everywhere I read it says "up to 32GB" supported which I "assume" includes the integrated 16GB.
its 32gb. it what most of all new phones capacity. it means whooping 48gb that we can have in samsung captivate. now thats alot of memory.

Could you please point me to a link where I can verify this information. I hate to waste $100. 48GB sound great, but I want to be completely sure.
I dont think you can use a 32gb. Everywhere ive read it says 16gb max is what is supported.
I think because the internal memory is actually an SD card itself, and the max sdhc standard can handle is 32. So 16 internal and 16 microsd = 32 -> full

Look under "SD card and phone storage" and it clearly has an "internal SD card" as well as external
which is why i mentioned the above
pdadb.net says "microSD, microSDHC, TransFlash
Supports High Capacity (SD 2.0/HC) memory cards with capacity of up to 32GB"
they could be wrong though. id get a 16 just in case. the proce on the 32 is retarded high for now.
I have a 32GB SanDisk card in my Captivate.
I bought it yesterday from Verizon's website for $99 including free next day shipping.
The captivate fully supports the SDHC format, thus it supports adding cards up to 32 gigs. Should be the same for any SDHC compliant device. The only exception to this are a hand-full of devices that support 4gig and smaller SDHC cards via ugly hacks.
On a side note, it's redundant to say " supports SDHC up to 32 gigs", since there will never be a SDHC card >32 gigs, but that's advertising for you

I have a 32 gb card now, and the internal of 16. Both show up at their correct capacities, and when I fill them all the data is accessible.
Ah, it's too bad that ALL the prerelease materials state the maximum SD size as 16 GB. I would have purchased a 32 gig if I had known.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
its 32gb
(too short )
All Galaxy S devices can support external SD cards up to 32gb, that is excluding the internal storage. I have a 32gb card in mine, which I will never ever fill up.
Samsung's site, FYI, currently specifies 32GB support for the microSD card slot:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I897ZKAATT-features
If you got $200 to spare you can buy a 64gb sdxc card and see if it works. I personally don't need that much space, but i can use that much money
The only time it wasnt recommended to use a 32G was with a MiUi rom but
i think that issue is fixed anyway
SDXC in captivate
The temptation of 80gb on my phone was too great- I caved and bought a 64gb SDXC card from sandisk for 80 bucks. I dumped a few videos from my desktop onto the card to test it out, and got a damaged sd card message, prompting to format it. I clicked okay, forgetting that the ICS build I'm using formats internal SD instead of external SD. So that hurt.
Next I tried a nook color using CM7. Got the same damaged sd card, but it was able to format it. I got a reboot as it attempted to re-mount it following the format, but following the reboot, it was usable. It played video and showed up as 59.6GB or something close. This newly android-formatted card wouldn't work in when stuck back in the captivate, however. It's possible that it will work on a different rom- one that's able to format it itself, but after losing the internal SD, I'm going to hold off on messing around with an old GB rom.
Hey just got my SIII and was wondering if it supports a 128GB micro sd card? I couldn't find any info on it so thought i would just ask here.
thanks for any info
i think the data-sheet over at samsung.com states, that micro-SD's up to 64 GB are supported.
i guess that some 128GB cards might work, but aren't officially supported.

I think all the devices that Samsung has produced all stated 32GB was max, but it turned out 64GB worked too. Let's hope that logic still holds when the 128GB is released!
Does anyone know when we will see 128GB microSD cards in the market?
Or perhaps there is a way to fit a full SDXC card into a microSD slot using an adapter and hiding it underneath the battery cover or connecting it using a thin laminate conductor that could be wedged through one end of the battery cover...
I'm not sure about any FAT32 limitations other than 4GB file size limit, but as long as the S3 supports microsdxc (which it does since it supports 64gb cards), it should be able to support any sdcard size.
I myself have a 64gb microsdxc card and have done a lot of research.
TL;DR: Galaxy S3 supports any size microsdxc card.

I'm not sure when we'll see 128gb microsd cards but I heard that sandisk developed the NAND. Hopefully Android 4.1 supports exFat (or does it already?) so we can actually utilize cards that big. The main reason to use a card that big would be for storing movies and TV shows, but any files over 4gb would have to be broken up first which is a PITA to do.
maybe in the future

on amazon 64GB SSD start from $60, 64GB micro SD cards start at $70
galaxy s3 on 128 gb
it is possible in galaxy s3.. with 64gb internal memory and support of 64gb on external memory.. but i dont know how much it will slow down the phone..
would recommend to use class 4,6 or even higher ones of mini sd card available for better results
Those aren't out yet......
Hey there,
The 128GB MicroSDXC cards have not come out yet so there's no point speculating early.
The Galaxy S III is stated to support up to 64GB currently, as that is the largest sized card out so far under the MicroSDXC banner. Once the 128GB cards are released, it SHOULD support those unless for some reason it has an artificial restriction imposed on it.
The other thing is, once the cards DO come out, people like NZTechfreak will check it out for us anyway. The cards should hopefully start to be released in a few more months. Definately agree on the speed class advice, go with a minimum of class 6 or 8, anything slower will be painful for sizes above 32GB.
And the Galaxy S 3 does support ExFAT by the way. I've currently got a 32GB card in mine formatted as ExFAT with about 4 mkv files that are between 4.5-7GB each.

PLEASE NOTE TEXT BELOW IS A COPY FROM WIKIPEDIA
"Compatibility with SDHC
SDXC host devices accept all previous families of SD memory cards.[26] Conversely, SDHC host devices will accept SDXC cards that follow Version 3.0, since the interface is identical,[3] but the following issues may affect usability:
SDXC cards are pre-formatted with Microsoft's proprietary and patented exFAT file system, which the host device might not support. Since Microsoft does not publish the specifications of exFAT and its use requires a non-free license, many alternative or older operating systems do not support exFAT for technical or legal reasons. The use of exFAT on some SDXC cards may render SDXC unsuitable as a universal exchange medium, as an SDXC card that uses exFAT would not be usable in all host devices. Since the FAT32 file system supports volumes up to the SDXC's maximum theoretical capacity of 2 TB as well, a user could reformat an SDXC card to use FAT32 for greater portability between computers (see below). FAT32-formatted SDXC cards can be used in a host device built for SDHC if the host device can handle 64GB and larger volumes.
SDHC host devices will not test the new capability bits defined for SDXC 4.0 cards. It will therefore not be able to use the new features of SDXC, such as transfer speeds above UHS104 (104MB/s)."
So reading that I would infer yes the 64GB or some of them could work in the G3 but may not work above that without formatting to fat 32, if I read it right that is

FAT32 supports 2TB volume size w/ 4GB-1B file size constraints.
exFAT supports 64ZiB volume size w/ 16EiB file size constraints.
I use exFAT, which the S3 supports, owing to my 1080p MP4s taking in excess of 5GB.
Since the S3 can use exFAT, we are well future-proofed to the extent of the microsdxc format I imagine.

Actually they state 64GB SDHC not SDXC. An many are now finding out they are missing files (songs) when they leave it ExFat. So chances are it may not support larger than 64GB cards. I to have a 64GB SDXC card that I have formatted with my computer to Fat32.
This is according to my manual (Canadian/American version). The European may be different.
By the time 128GB cards are released and actually at a mass production price, people will be talking Galaxy S4.
Hmm 128gb sd card seems like ALOT. I have a 32gb with my GS3, so 48gb in total. I have alot of movies,videos,pictures,etc. and I still have about 12gb left.

I'm pretty sure SSDs have more sophisticated controllers and such. Though according to Google, SanDisk's 64GB MicroSDXC card is on average almost the same price as the 64GB SSDs here in the UK (£40-50). Also, even the fastest MicroSDs can only support about tenth of the transfer rate of an SSD (although they are still pretty fast... the 64GB card is supposedly capable of up to 30MB/s, which is impressive).

You might not be too far off actually. I mean, folks getting excited about the new 5" display exynos 5 GS4 will be in full rumor mill mode around what, March? Granted it won't be released till summertime, but I'd armchair guess we'll see 128Gb cards pop up at the beginning of the year. They'll be $200 though lol.
i don't no, but i think no.

My Thoughts
I was contemplating the 128 but i don't think i'll ever use it, and im a music and movie junkie, but i don't keep movies (or tv shows) on my phone after i watched them, so i went with a 64gig sandisk mobile ultra. I also don't believe the phones can take full use of the higher transfer rates of some cards (48mb/s+ cards) so i went with this guy here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JAKH0F4
its Amazon Prime Eligible and comes with the adapter and usb reader.
I'm sure others will post their thoughts as well
Goodluck

These phones won't take advantage of the higher speeds of the Extremes and Pros unless you're removing the card from your phone and plugging it into a USB 3.0 card reader each time. So The 48MB/s Ultras and Evos are good enough.

Got good reviews and has the bandwidth for 4K. The Note 4 will be my first 4K device so I wanted to make sure I had a good card to go with it. Dont need 128 GB (yet) personally as I stream pandora for my music. I am sure the sandisk cards would have been just fine as well.
I have the 128GB microSD card and it's great! Super fast, and stupid high capacity. But with picture and video file sizes getting bigger and bigger, and phones doing more and more, I believe that the space will come in handy. I've currently got LOTS of HD movies on it in the Note 3... but if I need the space on the Note 4 I can easily delete them.
hi,
I need to ask what you thin about this SD : SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra Micro SD (SDXC) Card - Class 10 UHS-1
I had this about a year and would be good for note 4 and QHD video? or which speed is good for note 4 to be great for video camera?
thanks

Really makes no difference since the phone does not support the UHS-I speeds. The SanDisk Ultra would be as good as a more expensive ones.
sanddisk and Samsung are both highly rated as very good quality. You can't go wrong with either. I suggest which ever one on sale or cheaper that's the way to go.
great guys thanks, I was scared to buy new one card.
Im getting this..
Samsung Electronics 64GB PRO Micro SDXC with Adapter Upto 90MB/s Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MG64DA/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IVPU88U/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_kLSmub1MQDR6P
Grabbed this one for $80 during the sale in the morning.
http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-High-Performance-microSDHC-Memory-LSDMI128BBNL633R/dp/B00O1M21H8
Decided to go with it since Lexar (micron/crucial) makes the best chips and the warranty is better than the one provided by Samsung and SanDisk. But most importantly, it's faster than the current SanDisk.
I wish there was an option to up the voltage to the SD card readers in Samsung phones. I get that they lower the power for battery life and heat, buy I also want to get decent transfer speeds with my phone. No real point in getting an SD card above 48MB/s for phone use only as the required voltage for UHS-1 is not available. I do believe that all Snapdragons since the 600 support UHS-1 though. Too bad.
i'm curious about the 128 gb max storage on specification, does that mean phone+ micro sd = 128 max or 128gb micro sd+ phone internal storage?

128gb max is the microsdxc alone (but that's only because there aren't any 256GB microsdxc cards on the market)
it's 128gb + 32gb
Running SanDisk ultra sdxc 128GB in my GN3 and mt Go Pro Hero3 black .
Like computers, our devices tested/rated for what memory is currently available when the device is released.
For example GN3 is rated for 64GB sdxc, but 128GB works fine.
For what was initially stated in the OP.
The variants of "sd" are based on capacity. With few exceptions to some 4gb mSD cards, sdhc is 4gb-32gb , and sdxc is 64+GB for meow. Until something greater than 128GB is released, which may or may not be sdxc or variant of.
Whats the max speed can the note 4 read on sd card? Same as note 3 and other recents samsung phones?

THIS IS THE BEST CARD OUT PERIOD.
If you want the best, here you go:

For the cost of your kidney you can also opt for: Lexar High-Performance microSDHC 633x 128GB UHS-I Flash Memory Card LSDMI128BBNL633R
(However, I'd wait for Samsung's 128GB PRO ....one things for sure, you can count on it in every way.)
SanDisk is garbage...never again. The integrity of the cards have tanked over the years.

Lexar is every bit as good as Samsung if not better. they're owned by Micron/Crucial and are known in the photography and computer sphere for making the best chips out there, but I guess their stuff is marketed as more high brow so the average consumer isn't acquainted with the brand. Note that the Lexar cards have lifetime warranties for a reason.
Was wondering if anybody has tried if the SanDisk 400GB Ultra Plus Micro SD (SDXC) Card is compatible with Z5C.
I know specs say max. 256GB but on previous phones I've seen that larger cards might work
it might work because when Z5 was new the largest MicroSD card was 200GB, and abit after 250 and some ppl says 250GB work with their devices
now i have 16GB extreme plusUHSIII (For 4K) but on my last trip my SD memory runout really fast lost some photos\videos)
16GB cost me 50euro at the time , 256gb cost about 200eu.. so i guess 400 is super expensive
(ultra is alot alot cheaper but slower (about like class 10, 10MB\s write) i had 32GB one he was to slow and lagging for 4K)
i managed to connect my 1TB HDD via OTG but i guess its not the same
