I've been searching and searching here and can't find the answer. I thought I seen it one other time but can't now, but can you use a 32 gig memory card in the sky rocket. I have a 16 gig but want to up it to 32 if I can.
Yes, I just upgraded to a 32 GB. According to Samsung's site 32 is the max for this phone.
I got a 64GB class 10 in mine.

yes this is normal it holds some file on the card needed for partitions ect but its normal
yes its normal i also see 29.71GB
I thought the 32gb in the name counts 1000 mb in a gb whereas the computer counts 1024mb in a gb or something so they make seem like you're getting more than what it actually is...
Same for hard drives for your computers as well

All memory devices have to reserve space for tables... like for holding filenames and pointers to the first sector of each file...
It's both reasons combined (100vs 1024 and the space used by the drive mapping)

People... stop wasting money on class 10 cards. A class 6 is sufficient and it won't make your **** smaller...
Watch it man. You can do what ever you want with your money. Just treat other ppl the way you wanted to be treated!

I agree that Class 6 is sufficient.
But keep in mind that read/write speed increases with classification (duh). And just like some of us overclock our CPU's even though 1.5ghz is sufficient, we do it because we can.
Also, class 6 are harder to find than class 10 for some reason.
Same here
But when they say 32 GB i feel they must make 32 GB available after checking in computer. What say dudes ? I'm going to fire an email to Sandisk.
Is this possible?

More than likely not considering all your internal space is for apps.

I am sure it is that but i also think we would have to have the bootloader unlocked to do that too. A better idea would be to just get a bigger microSD card. I am sure a 32 gb class 10 card would be more than enough to hold music and photos.

I'm using a 32 10 Doesn't mean it's enough!
4GB internal storage for user apps is a big waste.

Class 10 sometimes won't play nice with these phones. The sweet spot is class 6. And yea, maybe someday we will be able to use it but I doubt it. That would mean that after the bootloader is unlocked (if ever) that devs would need to take on the project and many people are already leaving this phone behind.

Dude....Thanks so much! Just ordered one. This deal is so sweet. Probably the best price you'll see for the rest of the year. Free 2 day shipping!
It is worth noting that the class 10 of this card has just been released but sells for $100! I've been on a Class 4 SDXC, and that's fast for recording 1080p video. I think I'll do just fine with Class 6.

Cheers
just order it
thanks a lot dude. will it work on the skyrocket?

Derpppppp. I was looking at the wrong type of cards.
I recently bought a galaxy tab 2 7" 8GB, but I can only use 4 of it. Would installing a custom rom give me more space? Its a shame that they really only give you 4gb

No, you will need to jump through a couple hoops and leverage your sdcard slot, by using a swap script, or an app like foldermount, gl2sd, or similar. Personally, i used the swap script when i was using 4.1.x, but now i use foldermount. The p3113 swap script is on these forums, and foldermount is in the play store, or the thread for it, which are in the android apps and games forum, or software development, i forget which.
Oh yeah, every option requires root access.

Just a quick question since it's brought up. What class sd card is suggested for doing this method? I've read that class 4 is better than class 10 for doing this, but that was on my Xperia Play. Just wanted to make sure before I invest in one.
Thanks.

I don't know if it is true,but I had a class 4 SD card on my xperia mini,and i when I bought a class 10 16 GB,the phone was about 30% faster with swap then class 4 with swap.
So I believed in classes ;D

Class 4 = 4mbps
Class 10 = 10mbps
You tell me.

I have a 32 GB U1 which U1=Class 10 fyi.
My tab has 16GB storage but only about 12GB useable so it would make sense a 8GB only has about 4 useable.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using XDA Premium HD app
Class 4 will never be as good as a class 10. I am running a Samsung Class 10 UHS-1 70MB/s read and 20MB/s write card and that is about as good as it gets. Anything higher is not supported by our device (read and write speed-wise you would be over-compensating way too much).
I read somewhere that when using the sd card for apps and the such.
Ah, here it is:
This higher class # = higher speed across the board is a bit of a misnomer. Lower class (4&6) seem to have higher random access speeds, so when pulling up files lower than 6MB, it may behoove you to have a lower class card. Seems handy when pulling up photo and MP3. If you're transferring large files you may see speed increases for things like full movies or apps. Is it worth 10 seconds every now and then? I'll let you decide.

Yes, it definitely gives u a lot more space because stock roms are filled with bloatware (pre-installed apps), which according to me are useless. If you flash a custom rom it is not filled with all that crap and will give u a lot more of storage like if you have an 8gb tab 2 u will get only about 3-4 gigs of free space on stock but if you switch to custom rom you will have around 6-7 gigs of free space.
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
No one has tried repartitioning space from system to data? System takes up over 1.4 gigs, so with most ROMs your wasting a gig of space.

Anybody else with a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB class 10 / UHS-1 find the write speeds slow?
I'm pretty sure it's a genuine part. It's at 8 MB/s write with my laptop
Not everyone but some have problems with SanDisk 64gb class 10 i had one and mine kept crashing it wnt show my storage or wnt pop up in my computer .. I would go with a samsung.. Look around online and u can find a hood price for them specially winter/holidays are coming

So getting close to the advertised speed, like I have with every other SanDisk, is unreasonable?
Your sdcard works right? Slow or fast it works right? I'd be happy.

My card seemed to work fairly well until it crapped out. SanDisk is sending a new one out so I'll test it out once I get it.

That's like buying a brand new sports car with a turbo boost leak and then being like "oh well". My 2.3 GB nandroid backups take about 13 mins. So TWRP is writing much slower.
I suggest checking my thread on the SD card you may need to reformat it and clean it up. Also try ROM toolbox pro to turn the write speed up. I write at 55 MB a sec
