[Q] 64GB MicroSDXC Card?

Has anyone been successful in getting one of these to work in their Xoom? If so how? I got one for Christmas and despite my efforts, it does not work. The Xoom does not recognize it at all. It was formatted to FAT32 and I tried to see if it would work with exFAT, but no luck either way. I have searched the forums and the web in general, but it seems this card is too new and no one really has much experience with them yet.

The xoom is only capable of reading 32 gig or less

Hi I recently read a post by a member on ukhot deals about this said card I will post what he said and hope it helps but I doubt it from zachjeep's post above;
Loads of devices including SGS, SGS2, Motorola razor, sg nexus, some HTC devices support the 64gb but not in sdxc format. When you put the card in, if it says not working or not formatted etc you have to select format it. Then it will format it in fat32 format and then you can store and read the 64gb card. But it won't be the higher speeds of sdxc cards but lower speeds of sdhc cards. Remember if you format it into fat32 format then you lose the higher speeds of sdxc cards but you will get the 64gb to work on older hardware. But some phones might not be able to work out how many mins you got left on card for video recording etc. But works fine other wise as reported on androidnz blog which has detailed posts and videos of this working. Or in devices that support USB OTG like in many Samsung devices among others you could get a cheap USB OTG adapter for few pounds then connect flash drives / USB devices / USB hubs / memory card readers etc and use cheaper lower capacity microsdhc 32gb instead and no need to pull out battery etc to pull out cards and can easily load cards and copy files over etc. See androidnz blog for videos etc.

I purchased the SanDisk 64GB MicroSD SDXC version and my xoom was able to see all 59GB after format.. I formatted it initially with my Rezound, if that helps.

Several users of the unlocked international Galaxy Note also report that the SanDisk 64GB microSDXC works in their phones. Apparently the formatting process takes a little while, but it works.

Thanks, I'll try the format in my Rezound and see what happens.

I have one of these
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-And...AJTO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1359785521&sr=8-3
on my Xoom running EOS4 (4.2.1) and it works fine - the card comes unformatted, so you have to format on a PC first - once done it works fine....
I believe you have to be on ICS or later for SD-XC cards to work......

[Q] Maximum SD card size?

What's the maximum SD card size for the external slot on the SGS II LTE? I'm reading 32GB but I could have sworn I read somewhere that someone was using 64GB. Can anyone confirm/deny?

32gb is the max

Well, some members of the forums have gotten a 64GB card to work.

Hes right 32 Gb is the max i dont even know if 64 GB cards exist
Sent from my Galaxy Gio

the skyrocket is not compatible with SDXC which is the technology for any SD over 32gb. I didnt try it myself, but samsung does not create drivers for SDXC in the current line of phone. So maybe some supergeek somewhere did create a driver for his phone, but it will not work with yours
EDIT: i have found video proof that a 64gb card works on the GS2 non LTE but it comes with its fair share of problem including camera app not being able to save pictures to it, very slow population of library in music app and a bunch of small annoyances

That's what I suspected - I thought I'd seen something, sounds like it's not worth the effort with the 64GB cards.
Cheers!

[Q] 64GB micro SD?

Has anyone tried a 64GB microSD card in the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus?
I have a class 10 32GB one in there at the moment, but at £37 for a 64GB I'd love to expand it further, but I don't want to pay out for one if it doesn't work!
Does anyone know if 32GB is the most it will take, or can I get a 64GB one?

I would believe the 7.0 maxes out at 32GB. 64GB is SDXC, which isn't listed on any spec sheets, only SD and SDHC.

It works fine with 64 gb, mine does.
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk 2

altho it said max is 32... The 64gb work fine...

more importantly, where from at £37.00 ?

Sorry, Google Shopping showed £37 as a price for a 64GB MicroSD, but when I got round to actually looking properly, it was an incorrectly labelled standard SD card.
Amazon are however selling them for £60 now, which means the price is coming down slowly!

I have a 64gb in mine and it works just fine.

amazon were nocking them out at £42 last week - I only bought one because I didn't believe it was genuine, even though they were supplied by amazon I was still suspicious. I wish I had taken a chance and ordered 2 or 3, because sure enough they are genuine sandisk cards and work well in all my devices - that's my tab, my xperia arc s and my Archos 70 IT2, I wish I'd bought one for each

Be careful of Class 10 or UHS 1 cards!

Just wanted to post a follow-up in this thread. At the time of these messages, the Class 6 cards were out, and it appears that they do work.
However, it's now September, and Class 10 cards are out, and they DO NOT work. The GT 7.7 people discovered (and I just "accidentally" confirmed on my stock ICS P6210) that Class 10 64GB cards get irreparably damaged when used on our Tabs. I have Class 10 cards in my S3 and Galaxy Note, and they're fine, but my P6210 just ate one on the first large file write - as has been seen on the 7.7 tabs as well!.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460201&page=7 and other posts for reference.
I've just ordered a Class 6 64GB card from Amazon, and expect no problems with it - but be warned that many people are having problems with the Class 10 cards, on the 7.7 and (now) the 7.0+ tabs.
FWIW, YMMV...

U just got to format the card to a suitable format, mine runs just fine on fat32.

Hey guys, just out of curiosity.
I have a couple of questions about the supported memory card for this device.
What is the maximum capacity supported by this drvice?
What is the fastest speed supported? (which class)
Thanks.

Thanks for asking this question, I wasn't sure myself and was going to ask, until I saw this thread, but I am glad that this tablet can use a card of this capacity because my wife is using a 32gb class 10 that is just about full of music, movies and ebooks. So, I just surprise her with a bigger sd card after all.

Hi, I apologize for the mistake in my previous post, she is currently using a regular SanDisk class 4 card, she had previously used the Mobile Ultra series class 10 though before she decided to use it in her T989 instead since she was having boot loop issues with the regular class 4.
I bought it from Best Buy in August when it was on sale for $40.
She had 1 issue with the card though, when she was in the process of moving the files and folders off of her pc, where she had copied the contents of the class 4 sd card she previously used in her SGS2, to her new class 10, SD card.
All was fine, until she had copied her NANDROID back up folder which was about 3 or 4 gb in size, everything else had copied over just fine.
When she copied her NANDROID back up folder to the Mobile Ultra card from her W7 laptop, where she had previously copied the class 4 card, and after one file couldn't be copied, the card became corrupted, and she couldn't read the card in her computer, phone or tablet, and formatting it didn't work at all. I even tried in my own device, and although I was able to read it, when she couldn't, it wouldn't format in my phone or tablet either.
In Windows, it said something about the file name being too long, and it would not let either of us rename or delete the file because it said that it was write protected, (it wasn't) and then sometime after that, the file name had some gibberish and was 6gb in size and we could not format it at all.
This happened with both sd cards, and so, I took them back to Best Buy and got another Mobile Ultra card that she now uses in her phone, and since then she hasn't had any issues. I also bought a USB card reader, and used the new card with it just in case the issue was with the sd card adapter it came with.
That said though, the Mobile Ultra cards, worked just fine in her T869, it was just one file that was inside the NANDROID back up folder that corrupted both cards.

I recently ordered a Team 64GB MicroSDXC card from New eggs for my Galaxy Tab Plus. Like the SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC card, the Team card is also UHS-1. I installed it in my Tab Plus, where it initially recognized it.
As I started transferring some music files, the SD card stopped responding and the dreaded "damaged SD card message" popped up. I pulled out the SD card and tried to see if I could re-format it. However, in horror, none of my Windows 7 PCs could recognize it in my SDXC card reader; even Disk Management wasn't seeing anything! At that point, I concluded that my card was toast and was ready to return it. However, I decided to try to see if I could get it to work again before returning it, considering it was brand new.
I read through the thread on 64GB cards over at the Galaxy Tab 7.7 forums (as we share the same hardware and 64GB card issues) and found that some had found success with re-creating the partition table in Linux. I used Gparted, which saw the Team 64GB card, but had some initial difficulties, as the card would not stay mounted/visible for too long. After several inserts, I finally was able to wipe the corrupted partition on the card and used Gparted's option to re-create the partition table. After doing this, the dismounting issue disappeared, but Gparted still had trouble creating a full FAT32 partition on the card. I then tried zeroing it out with dd (same command that bex0rs used for his SanDisk 64GB card in the 7.7 thread). After a lengthy process, Gparted was finally able to create a full 64GB FAT32 partition without issue.
The Team 64GB SDXC card was then able to be seen by my Windows 7 PCs and I was able to transfer over 30 GB of content to the card without issue. Even my retired DROID Incredible and Nook Color were able to read and write to it fine. However, I have not tried it in my Galaxy Tab Plus, in fears that it would kill it, so I'm keeping it in my DROID Incredible for the mean time.
In short, if you want to try to salvage your dead 64GB MicroSDXC cards, you can try this. But it definitely seems that UHS-1 cards are the culprit with the Galaxy Tab Plus/7.7 tablets and should NOT be used in those tablets.

hi i have tried 64 gb class 10 ones since there was no class 6 available at the time, and the card always got damaged after the approximately 30gb of data was copied to card. But now I can see class 6 ones on online shop but really want to make sure whether it works or not since this is also uhs-1 card. If any one of you have tried class 6 SanDisk with more than 30 gb of data then please tell me about your experience.

Does P6200 support exFAT format of 32G micro SD and be used by bitcomet to write a 10G video file?

[Q] 64GB Micro SD card on GT-P3113

I believe when i bought my tab, i read somewhere that it supports expandable storage up to 32GB but I recently read somewhere that class 10 64GB sd cards supposedly work on the GT2 10.1" in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684705
So I was just wondering if the same would apply to my GT2 7"?
I'm looking to get something like this http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...59672905&sr=8-3&keywords=micro+sd+64+class+10

it is a possibility...
According to the forum link that you posted as long as the micro sdcard is a Sandisk ultra class 10 then it may work. Those specific model sdcards work the absolute best with android. I have the ultra class 10 sdcard but only in the 32gig. Now that I know that there is a possibility that the 64 gigs may work I am going to buy one and try it out. I will order one tonight from amazon and when I get it I will let you know if it works. However, I have my galaxy tab 2 10.1 rooted running android 4.2.1 the CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly build. Has anyone tried the 64 gig sdcard with this upgrade?

64gb cards work fine. At least the sandis and samsung ones do. The sandisk can be had for ~$50 and the Samsung ones are ~$90 right now. Last week they were over $120.

Not for me. My tablet sees it and mounts it, Titanium Backup sees it as well but has no option of choosing it for a backup location. Some apps see it as well (Poweramp for example). None of the file browsers (even with root access) do. The card is there, but it's useless.

Make sure you reformat it in settings in the device your using it in if your having problems.

Recommendations would be most appreciated.

I got a SanDisk 128 GB and it has been working great so far.

I would recommend you Samsung MicroSDXC 64GB PRO Memory Card. Also other Samsung cards are great.
Very good read/write speeds.

I put a Lexar 128 GB 1000x in my MXP and it is functioning great.

I'm considering purchase of this phone - sounds like support for a micro SDcard works well, so is there any benefit to buying the 64 or 32GB internal storage models vs. the 16GB model? I can capture video and do TWRP backups to the (relatively inexpensive) SDcard, so what am I missing on a cheaper 16GB phone?

Is the Moto X a UHS-I or UHS-II compatible host device? The extra cost of these higher-end sdcards would be wasted otherwise, correct?
Edit - I googled this topic and found this post: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/8cda627ead . In short, it confirms that the Moto X benefits from / takes advantage of a UHS-1 U3 microSD card. @EmperorX makes a good suggestion.
I still want to know if I really want to spend extra for a 32 or 64GB Moto X, given that I can buy a 32GB UHS-1 U3 card for US $15.

Both cards are UHS-I class U3
It does support uhs-1 from what I've read. We'll see, my wife's card gets here on Wed and I'll test out. Sandisk extreme pro.

Problem
and what the maximum amount of the SD card can be used as system memory? I have a card to 64GB, and when you try to make it a system unit for a long time it formats, but it is empty and then says that the card is damaged, but if you use it like a regular card, it works fine and displays. Do not tell me what could be the problem?

Can you report on the relative performance of your higher-end microSD card vs. the internal storage? For example:
compare the time it takes to do a TWRP backup of the whole phone to internal vs. the microSD card
Capture full QHD video directly to the microSD card
etc.
Thanks!

Maybe... But don't expect it to. Internal memory is much faster than even the fastest SD card. If you must use your SD card as internal storage for apps due to space, then move low usage apps to external card and heavy use ones to internal

Probably me, I have a Sandisk Ultra 200GB card. Works fine, no issues at all, ends up around 180GB usable. I've formatted it in both ext4 and exfat, both work fine. I did some benchmarks in another thread around here somewhere. Any questions, feel free.
