[Q] Any Word on MIcroSD support on XOOM? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone heard any word on the MicroSD support in XOOM?

No word and I have been watching. Hopefully soon as I am running out of space. Have a 32GB card waiting to go in.

Im supprised no one has made a kernal that enables it haha. I cant wait Im fine on space but I want some custom roms

Enabling sdcard is a complex problem due to the way it is disabled. Rest assured some real smart kernel guys are looking into it. It is definitely not a simple fix.

... So I probably shouldn't have stuck that screwdriver into the SD slot?

32GB SDHC Card

Hi I've searched the forum about this but cant really find any definitive answers.
Is it possible to run a 32GB SDHC card on the Uni or not?
Has anybody done this and currently using it and if so is there any drawbacks or restrictions etc?
What driver/Software is needed for it to be recognised is it the normal SDHC prog that comes with some cooked 6.1 roms or is it another?
This is the same card as the one i have ordered is it compatible?
Thnx for any help/Advice you can give
I have heard of 32GB cards running on a Uni. (I've only got 8GB, though)... but now you've ordered it, you'll be able to enlighten us whether it works I'm sure many people would be interested, and this is what xda-devs is all about, all chipping in a bit of info
Will be happy to post results, was just hoping somebody had already tested and had some info already, Searched forums but seems nobody has actually tried it out yet.
Will try it first oob then try the sdhc driver and see what happens.
I can confirm that you can use 32GB SD Card with Uni. I am using one from Silicon Power and you need to select appropriate Card type using 'SD Settings' program after inserting it. The program will ask you to reboot the device and once done, its business as usual.
Almost all 6.1 Roms recognised and I have not experienced any issues in using 16GB Card.
Hope this helps.
This is very usefull info!
Thanks,
Perfect
it would be an excelente notice, I already own one 16 gb running wm 6.1, and let me tell you that i have not room on it.
Pls let us know your comments
Saludos

Are you talking about a 16GB card or a 32Gb card, ??
I received my16Gb card today and spent some time getting stuff on it - movies, music, setup .CABs etc, seems to be performing fine, the only difficulty I experienced is the card not being recognised by my computer in USB mode, not sure why, had no problems accessing it through AS. Therefore it is taking me longer to transfer large files or folders over. Othere than that there seems to be no problems performance-wise. Would be interesting to know how the 32Gb performs.
Waiting for the result .... hope it works great..... please let us know.....
The card has now arrived and it was recognised straight away on setting 2 with the SD-Settings app. Im gunna transfer everything across and install some apps and test everything out etc and post back soon
Can anybody recommend any tests i can do to make sure everything is working normally etc, Im gunna do the benchmark test with pocket mechanic but is there any other progs that can test it?

Try SD Setting type-1.
It is faster than type-2.
Sorry for confusion, I do have it on type-1.
What i meant is that i have it on the second setting which is type-1, type-2 been third setting.
Havent got round to trying any software out on card yet as I'm trying to get my PC to recognise the card it just seems to not accept SDHC cards or 32gb ones anyway.
Ive copied all my data installers/docs etc from old card to PC and im trying to transfer using the "Disk Drive" setting in "USB to PC" but sometimes the uni reboots , will get there eventually.
Do you know of a fix for Vista/Win7 to be able to read 32GB SDHC cards?

Be careful if you get one from Hong Kong via ebay as mine had a autorun.inf on the card infected with a worm, My AV (ESET NOD32) got rid though.
Im also having alot of problems transferring data to the card, I get so much on then something will go wrong like the phone will reboot or lose connection and then the card inst accessible it just says it needs formatting.
I cant get XP or Win7 to see the card when its in my inbuilt reader, Ive order a cheap card reader that accepts various cards including 32Gb sdhc so hopefully i can get all my data on and properly test it out.
XP and High capacity SD cards
I have a 16G card, have no problems on the Uni it works great but I did have problems on XP on the inbuilt SD reader on my laptop. The following microsoft patch fixed the XP issues.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934428
Tried that but that hotfix is already installed into SP3, so fook knows whats up. Should have my reader by monday anyway.

SDcard Unexpectedly removing itself!!!???

Ok im about to blow my lid.. this is the second time im experiencing this problem.
Out of no where my sdcard removes itself. Its actually happen to where my G1 freezes, I actually try to reboot and it goes back into sign in!! Wtf!! my contacts are all gone my Gtalk has to sign back in.. THIS SUCKS. I'm currently on Dude 1.3 Rc2.. I'm an loyal dude rom fan and this has never happen to me.
Its happened twice so far and since the last time it happened ive changed my sd's im using a 4gb class2. Dont tell its the class2 cause Ive been using the same class2 since ive had app 2 sd and never experienced this..
Has this ever happen to anyone or is it a known issue if someone, anyone shed some light on my problem i would greatly appreciate it!!
THanks a million!!
Do your apps remove themselves as well when you have to sign back in? Like a normal wipe? Have you tried this with more than one SD card? How long have you had the phone?
Sounds like it could be hardware related...but trying wiping and reinstalling. Also, try not using APPS2SD and see what happens...because obviously, when your SD card stops working on Apps2SD, the background processes being run off the card are going to crash and lock up the phone, and you're needing to sign in because that data was stored on the card as well.
My friend had a defunct phone where not only could the SD card wiggle a little inside its slot, but the entire slot itself came off the board/wiring it was sodered onto, so if you've dropped your phone on that edge, that could be your problem. Every once in a while, it'll connect, but it can still unconnect at any time, like what you're experiencing.
Ext2 format itself!!
I actually noticed that my sd card is formating itself to Ext2(all 4 gbs) everytime this happens!! and its hell to format it back to fat32 this is got me going NUCKIN FUTS!! Ive never dropped my phone the sd card slot is intact and ive had the phone for quiet a while..
Also i use paragon to partition..
is it a 4 gb micro sdcard?
Edit. never mind didn't fully read it. the size of your sd card is your problem. I had a 4 gb and it pissed me off soooo bad. I don't know what it is about then but the phone doesn't like them. sorry.
yes, class 2

yeah buddy you're out of luck. buy a different size sd card and you will be good to go. I almost was going to try sending my phone back to t-mobile but then I figured since it started when I changed to that size sd card and I heard that they were having so much trouble with them with this phone that I would try a different sd card first. Switched to a 8gb class 6 sd card that I bought at target and things couldn't be working better.
hope this helps.

sorry, I just found that rude. oh well. but if he is having a problem may not just be the sd card size, the problem may lay within the ROM as you said before. I would try talking to dude and see if it is something on his end. If it is I am sure he would be glad to know about it and fix it.
i had this problem with the 1gb microsd that came with my g1! i had a 16g sandisk class2, and it got fried, so i had to use the original 1g as a temporary...it did that all the time, i was using it for a week or two and at least once a day itd do that sh*t. I never figured it out, i just bought a Transcend 16g class 6...works great. Wish i knew the answer for you guys, though, sorry...Hope you get it figured out...
-BMFC
I don't have an answer, but I hope this can add more info to your puzzle.
Same happens to mine every now and then. No reformat though, just pops up an error saying that the sd card has been removed. Then my custom ringtone (which resides on the sd card) stops being used and it reverts the default.
Am running on JFv1.51 ADP and have the stock standard 1gb sd card that came with the adp.
I don't have apps installed on the card, just the cache.
big nu, I know that you say it doesn't matter if it is a class 2 or not but I would just try a class 6 sd card.

I'm sorry I never ment any disrespect in any way when i said its BS my bad.
This actually used to happen to me even before the cupcake update. I used to used a 4gb class 6 card which eventually got fried..so I'm waiting for a new 1 to come in
I know this will seem really strange, but I noticed a trend throughout all the posts....seems like the G1 doesn't like lower numbers Go with a 16 GB, class 6 card and call it good I never had a problem whatsoever with mine, even though I am currently using an 8GB, and Dude's 1.2b. Once I pick up my 16 gig, I will let (you) know how it runs.
i keep having the same problem and i am running jf 1.51 us no themes or anything

Moving app data to sd card?

Hi,
I would like to know how I can move app data to my SD card.
I understand Samsung have purposely disabled the feature which sucks.
I'm on stock jb at the moment.
Noob instructions would be greatly appreciated
check out my topic i made earlier, the only way to bypass this is to root, i'm still waiting for for a reply to my topic on how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087934
There is no easy way of doing it you need to have int-d to do it and even then its not an easy solution
Unfortunately its not Samsung but google which has developed the new version in such a way that you cannot move apps one of the reason being their concept that there should be only one memory and hence there is no sd card slots in nexus devices

I think I might just return my device then.
11GB is nowhere near enough!
Edit: Definitely returning for a refund.
What's the next best tab to go for?
I only went for the Note 10.1 because there was a great deal on where I saved around £90-£130 ($130-$200)

You could get a 32GB model.
ive done it the zedomax way i have 64gb iternal now downside of this is wen transfering movies from pc to tab takes ages
I wish I had got the 32 gig model now but I wasn't expecting this problem, I just have to manage my space a bit more proactively. As I want to use my 64 gig card with exfat (to store films over 4 gig) I have do clockwork backups to my internal SD and then copy them across to get the space back. This is far from ideal but I have got used to it now.
I found that using my SD card as internal SD slowed my device to much for my liking.
I had a 64 gig sd card in mine and I noticed that recovery mode would not see that 64 gig card which was a real pain when trying to use different roms. I put my 32 gig card back in and everything is good

[Q] cyanogenmod 10 and problems mountind a 64gb microsd card.

Im going to pull my hair out. I finally managed to root/upgrade to cyanogenmod 10 and now i cant read my external 64gb microsd card. It use to work just fine in my stock Asus Infinity and now it doesnt. I tried using other mounting methods, but they were meant for other devices(like Evos, Galaxy, whatever). It can read other microSd cards, like 32gb and 8 gb, but i dont want my 64gb going to waste. Can someone help me and i apologize for being a pest.
I do not have my 64 GB yet -- I'm still a little wavering about ordering the Sandisk Ultra Micro SDHC Card 64GB Class 10/UHS-z as the reports of it working or not vary -- but I am curious as to how it is formatted. That might help the more knowledgeable folks out in determining the root cause. I gather it did work on stock? Can you try and reflash CROMI (after making a nandroid backup) and see if it works again?
I have a Sandisk 64GB MicroSD UHS-1 card (the red and grey one) and it works beautifully on CROMI

Works fine in both.
It use to work fine before I installed cyanogenmod10. To get it to work on the original operating system, I had to format it in my phone to create the partitions because it wouldnt recognize the card in the tablet (wouldnt let it mount or anything). I tried doing the same thing again this time and it didnt work(not allowing it to mount). Im inserting the microsd directly into the tablet.
BTW, thanks for the replies so far, I do appreciate it. Any info is useful
Sounds like a cm issue. Have you asked other cm users if they have similar issues?

No problem, that's what we're in here for. Partially...
What filesystem did you format to? Have you tried redoing it? GParted has been good to me, I don't know what system you have to your disposal to reformat. Why are you doing multiple partitions -- are you aiming for the data2sd mod? Have you tried making it a single partition? If you insert it into your phone, it does work, I gather -- if you make copy a file to the card, is it actually written?

I did a quick format on the computer, Fat32, then I formatted it in my HTC Evo 4g LTE because thats how I was able to get it to mount/read originally in my unrooted/unmodded tablet. It works on my phone no prob. As for the other questions, I think i worded my problem kind of wrong, because I wasnt trying to do any fancy kind of partitioning; i just want my sd card to work. Sorry for any confusion
EDIT!!:
So the plot thickens! After a random reboot, I was able to get the tablet to recognize the card...and then when I powered it down and backup, it lost it. It seems it randomly recognizes the card after a reboot(but not all the time). UGH!

[Q] SD card not mounting, "blank or unsupported file system".

When I putt he SD into my phone (currently running Paranoid KANG droid 2.32) I actually get nothing more than an occasional "SD has been removed" message. However, when I put the card into my old OG droid (running Cyanogenmod 7) i get the "unsupported file system" error. This has happened before, and I just had to wait it out before the SD recovered on its own. It is not doing this now. (yes I am an idiot for still using it despite my 32 gigs of internal storage). I have a feeling it is formatted as RAW due to a formatting issue, but I can't get anything else (pc or other devices) to recognize the card, other than my OG droid. So what I want to know, is if there is a way to force mount the card, or give a PC control over the sdcard path and force mount it some way through the PC (effectively turning my phone into an external card reader, because traditional methods don't work). I need a workaround for this, because there are dozens of pictures of my family, puppies, and friends on it that I don't want to lose.
Back up the card of you can, it sounds like it's dying on you. This phone really s3ms to kill cards, I've already gone through 2 32gig cards.
I had a 32GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD card, and by chatting with Sandisk support, I am going to exchange my dead card for a working card. BTW, while you can, salvage the data you can, because it starts out like that, before becoming completely unusable.
I've went through two SanDisk. They are easy to work with, just get the ball rolling on the replacement.
Like the others said, get your data backed up as soon as you can.

Had 4 of these cards for a year now and not one hiccup. I'd say whatever is happening to them, its something you are doing to crap them, not the vendors. ALways backup your critical data, but if you treat these cards properly they will work and last as well as any.
No, you CAN use it on someone elses network, just not T-mobile as it doesn't do hdspa+ 1700, 1900... There's even a bounty out for that elsewhere on xda, to enable these bands, I believe it's currently at over $200.
And no, I'm not doing crap to the SD card. I've had it for over two years, used it on a different phone before that, never did anything different and it just died out of the blue. I'm not a noob, I would know if I had done something to it.
You would be pretty pissed off too if all your data was deleted, the phone you spent many many hours working to pay for did not work and when you ask for help someone blames you instead of helping. But I guess it's easier to blame than to help out right?
I get that part. However, don't get mad that it doesn't work fully for the network is wasn't designed for. That was my biggest part. I know there's a bounty. However, its been up for forever and nothing has come of it. I can't stand seeing people gripe about this phone because its not literally magic. Verizon's stuff is locked down, always has been, probably always will. Its a different radio/modem/antenna set than the tmo and at&t versions. It was meant to run on Verizon's network. Period.
