[Q] how much external memory can the blaze take? - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

I've looked around this forum for this topic and so far haven't seen any open this topic. I was wondering if it is possible to insert a 64gb sd card and make it compatible? Yes, the websites did say the limit is 32gb, but after seeing the htc sensation and s2 being compatible with the 64gb sd card, I wish to get it myself on the blaze, just need some clarification if it is able to work or not.

Every modern Android phone will work with the 64gig cards.

Once you are rooted, can you take the Gold Card out of the phone?

Can I remove it? I have a 16gig card id like to put in the phone... Thanks!
Yup you can swap the cards

I'll piggyback on that question because I just ordered a 16GB class 10 card myself (I know class 10 is overkill, but who knows what we get in the future .
I guess my question is, if you put a different sd card that is not a gold card, can you still use features like Backup and Restore in ROM Manager?
Are there any differences in any other ways?

Yes, you can. The goldcard was only needed to perform s-off/root/etc. I used an old 2gb sd card as my gold card and then swapped it and tossed it aside in case I need a gold card in the future.

The gold card is only needed to root the phone the initially or if you revert back to stock and want to root again. You will be fine.

It's simple.....copy all contents from 16gb card (insert in phone...mass storage) to computer. Then insert 32gb in phone....mass storage and copy the contents of the 16gb card (wherever u saved it on ur computer) and paste them into the removable disk shown in my computer....

I agree! My room mate actually tuned me on to HD Tune. This program has a utility built in that will test, real-time, the write/read speeds on the card. Test it the moment you get it, for at least 20 minutes uninterrupted. If it doesn't match the specs it should, return it. If you use Ebay, I would suggest purchasing with paypal, as they have a buyer protection program which helps with issues of "fake" cards.
Sidenote: these cards aren't actually fake. They do work. the problem is they are using cheap parts and even cheaper labor for the manufacturing of these cards, so they may, and probably will fail. Either partly or all the way. what I mean by this is...For example.. you purchase a 32gb class 10 card... 2 months later, the card only reads as 27gb or some weird number. this is a fake. Still usable, but not what you paid for.
Good to know, thank you!

It's possible. I just ordered a 32GB Sandisk class 4 from Amazon.com. No issues with it. I trust nothing but Sandisk.
Yep, after 3 bad generic sd cards, sandisc is the only one that works. You were right!

[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
Sent from my DX with ice cream magic!
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.

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

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)

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?
