I have 32/64 with 21/37 remaining. You are gonna have to force some data to external such as TIBU and nandroids at least. Both take up the most space outside media.
I have 16gb internal and 32gb sd card, with 5gb/11gb free respectively. A majority of my sd card space is taken up by music and videos along with one CWM backup. I think the biggest issue over time will be with games cuz the good ones often take a gb or more.

Just a quick question for those of you with 32gb cards. Are they San disk? And if they are did you have to format it or change it to fat32 (I'm not sure what this is)? Because I just popped mine in and it seemed to work.. (running aokp jb rom)

I also had a question about this (sorta similar). When I use TWPR recovery, it never picks up my roms to flash. But when I use CWM 6.0.1.0, it sees my zip perfectly. What gives?

Mine is a PNY brand 32 gb sd card. Mine came fresh out of the box already formatted to Fat32 but I did a reformat for peace of mind. The long version: Fat32 and exFat are two types of filesystems. Microsoft has a patent on exFat therefore any company that uses it must pay them for its use. As such, android relies on Fat32. For 64 gb sd cards, I believe once formatted to Fat32 lose the ability to transfer files >4gb.
The short version: If you intend to root/flash roms/etc. recovery will not see (or will have issues with) your sd card unless it's formatted to Fat32.

Idk bud, I use CWM. I haven't tried TWRP so maybe someone else can chime in. My guess (completely unfounded btw) would be because it may be looking in the wrong sd card, ie: internal vs external at default.

TWRP is same as CWM. Android/Phone will see extFat but no recoveries will due to legal liability due to Microsofts API. Samsung licenses the API that is internal is extFat and it will read extFat on internal. Also the rom has to support extFat and some do not.

I have a micro sd card adapter so I place my micro sd card into that adapter then check it on my computer. For windows, right click on the sd card then click on "Format" and it should be listed there. There's a second window that pops up and it has the format options and what it's currently formatted to.

If you can see it in recovery it is Fat32. Can also put in pc and right click computer and it should tell you. Most 32/64 come in extFat stock out of the box and takes special app to format.

My 8gb SD card in my Desire S is almost running out.. I have like 3.4 gb left. I'm planning to buy a 16gb sd card for my phone.. How will i transfer all my files, apps, games, also the save games to the new sd card? Is it only copy paste all the folder to the new SD card? Or i'll backup the apps? When i put the new 16gb SD card on my phone, i want nothing will change, like the same wallpaper, the widgets in the screen, etc.. except the memory of course. I don't wanna reinstall all of them again. Is their a way to do that? Thanks!
Yeah basically that's it .
'Almost running out'? you've near 50% left when you take in that you never get the full 8Gb due to system files etc

It's easiest and quickest to do if you have a card reader but ultimately all you do is copy all files from SD1 to SD2 (via PC)
Best to power off phone (ensure that you have settings->power->fastboot=OFF)
remove SD1
load SD1 into card reader
copy SD1 to a directory on PC
load SD2 into card reader
copy PC (SD1 files) to SD2
replace SD2 in phone
power on phone
nothing will have changed.
If you don't have a card reader then simply do then same but with the SD cards in the phone (mounting SD as Disk), worth Quick Formatting SD2 before you copy files from PC onto it so that its empty.
What if I'm on a custom Rom, like virtuous unity? Will it go back to stock after changing the SD card? And do I have to root the phone again? Thanks!

Sounds ok, although I don't personally know the manufacturer....
The size you want depends on the use that you give phone, if you watch movies often, listen to lots of music or are constantly flashing ROMS therefore taking backups, possibly consider a 32Gb card, I personally believe that you can never have enough space...on SD (obviously depends on budget).
The higher the class the faster/better the card
The current SDHC specification defines Class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 as follows:
Code:
Class Minimum Speed
2 2MB/s
4 4MB/s
6 6MB/s
8 8MB/s
10 10MB/s
1 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes
2 Based on SanDisk internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device.
I thought I read somewhere on the forums that Desire s can't read cards above class 6 at their full speed ( could well be wrong on that).
The cards will work fine just the transfer speeds won't be as stated

As far as I know the card can't transfer at a rate above a class 6 card.Obviously it will accept faster cards but only read/write to them at a class 6 speed

If I insert it in, the S3 doesnt read anything (and no trace of any sd card being there). I also have another 16gb sd card that is class 4 and it also cant be read. I know both SD cards are working fine because they still work on my Droid but for some reason it wont on my S3.
Could it be because I partitioned both cards? I've already formatted it and got rid of the partition so idk. And whats weird is that my 2gb sd card from like 4 years ago works and is readable on my S3. Could someone help?
I would reformat on your computer again, I have had no issues with any SD card on my S3.

Fat32 means I can't store files larger than 700mb right? i.e. a hi-res movie won't work?

4GB. Movies if not compressed may need to be split or run from Internal. Good reason for having 32GB internal.

I have had a hell of a weekend trying to get my new 64gb card recognised by my SGS3 after swapping from Omega rom to AOKP. Turns out roms based on Cyanogen Mod dont recognise exFAT formatted cards and so corrupt them. I eventually managed to reformat my card using EaseUS partition manager but my phone still wont recognise it. Im going to flash back to Omega 31.1 in the morning and hopefully solve most of the problems. I know the card works fine because after formating it my Acer A500 recognises it, as does my PC. Problems is my phone isnt recognising any MicroSd cards now, so hopefully havent busted it or ill have to flash back to stock rom and swap it out at Tesco's.
Anyone have this card http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007W...-5410429?ref_=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_SC_dp_1 or any 64gb SD card? I'm having a problem getting cwm to recognize it. I already reformatted it and still it does not work in cwm. Anyone know anything about this? My 32gb card works just fine

One of those "believe it or not" things: the SDXC (SD eXtended Capacity = 64GB or more) specification says that the default (factory) format is exFAT. The GS3 recognizes both exFAT and FAT32, but some ROMS do not support exFAT due to Microsoft's funky licensing.

You don't need to partition it. You need to format it to Fat32 as was mentioned.
I am now on my 3rd 64GB MicroSD, the same one in OP.
It works when I get it, but it preformatted as exFat, which wont work with ROM.
The first 2 SDs I used EaseUS Partition to format as Fat32. Format went fine, but when I went to place files on card, card unmounted. This last one I used Ridgecorp’s Fat32Format, but same problem.
When I insert card, Win7 sees it, but if I go to format/write it disconnects.
Before I send this third one back to amazon, any ideas how to format it?
FYI, I took the last one to a frien with a mac to see if he could fix it, after i tried to format Fat32, but no luck.

Yea, I believe that's the same card I have(had for working on 3 1/2 months now) and I used the Ridgecorp GUI utility in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735 to format it as soon as I got it.
I've loaded it with music and continue to play said music all the time, use my ext for all my ROM downloading and storage. I access it all the time thru the phone and computer with no problems attributed to the card. (Some ROMs screw with my computer seeing my phone period)
Surprise! TW UI Did the trick!
S'up Crew
I don't know if this would apply to anyone on this thread but I bought a SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC and my SGS3 Wouldn't recognize the card and all.
At the time I was running CM10 Stable.
After trying several different methods found around the forums (both here and external) nothing worked.
W7 would only recognize it as a 32GB because of OS limitations and with every single third party software I tried it was always the same thing (32GB only).
So on a whim I decided to try a slightly different approach.
I flashed a backup I had of the Original Touch Whiz UI I had laying around back onto the device. Shoved the SD card into it and LO and BEHOLD.. It recognized the card.. Erased the Contents and Formated it properly!
I went into Titanium Backup to see if it actually worked and there it was..
63.xGB.. Woohoo!
So apparently CM has problems seeing a 64GB MircoSDXC correctly and the Stock Touch Whiz UI OS works nicely to see it and format it.
Hope this helps the next person who reads this!
I formatted my 64GB class 10 card in my Mac to fat32 and it has worked fine since.
CWM sees it as that size, TWRP does, both my Mac and PC do.

So I formatted my 64gb micro to Fat32. PC recognizes it at 64gb, but I can't get it to transfer any files to it. Says there's no space available. What gives?

What type card is it? Also when trying to transfer files is the card in the phone or straight to the computer via micro SD adapter ect....

So it looks like Amazon has these back in stock. I take lot's of photos/videos of my baby and filling up my 64gb card quick..
Anyone have any issues on the S5? I had one of the original Sandisk 64gb ones since the NoteII with no issues, but I know lot's of folks have problems. I don't want to be worried about losing my photos/videos.

My 128GB SDcard works flawlessly, but that's because it's formatted to fat32 and not exfat (exfat is the format that causes all the "bad Sandisk cards on Samsung phones" stories).

I just put a lot of stuff on the card, and non of them show up, apparently i did not copy the stuff from PC, but I actually moved it, so all the stuff is gone.
Just doing recovery to see if I can get the stuff back.

My computer is set up to dual-boot Win7 and Ubuntu Trusty. I booted into Ubuntu, loaded Gparted, and formatted the card that way.

Anyone have experience with Samsung brand SD cards?
My card is messed up, gonna get it changed today.
So this card works amazingly. Just need to reformat it? Can I do it on a Mac? Or should I look for a Windows to reformat it?
