[Q] Does 4.2.1 have a problem with SD Cards - General Questions and Answers

I have been looking for an answer for awhile now. Does 4.2.1 dislike sd cards over 8gb? I have tried two different roms and two different sd cards and still get the same result but when I use a rom running 4.1.2 the cards work perfectly! Please help!

Tablet doesn't use the SD card even with Link2sd (what's wrong?)

okay. so i have:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7'' (8gb internal / 32gb microSD external) running Jelly Bean 4.1.1
1-. i rooted it
2-. partition the microSD leaving (1st partition with 28gb FAT32 / 2nd partition with 1gb ext2)
3-. downloaded Link2SD and linked to the ext2 partition
4-. linked almost every app (screenshot)
yet the info in "storage" says i'm storing everything in the internal memory (screenshot).
i linked "Fifa 12" to external SD and started downloading it (aprox 1.2gb) and while it downloads i can see how the free space from the internal storage goes down.
am i doing something wrong?, thanks in advance!
here i add a screenshot showing that partition i made (i did it fine as far as i know)

Naw you didn't do anything wrong. I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I have a 32gb sd card myself and it's rendered useless so far
Try this out. Maybe you will have luck with it

already did =(, no luck.
so we're stucked until someone modifies the Swap SD card mod for jelly bean?
i decided to add some videos and books manually to the SD card to at least do "something" useful with the tablet and now i get an error at the google play store.
i've had this thing for a couple of days and i'm sick of it. i should have go the nexus 7 32gb, only if i knew before...

I couldn't get it to run right ( I mean mount2sd). Kept hiding my apps and doing buggy stuff. Link2sd would at least move some pass over. I mean on 4.2.2. I only use the script above on pre 4.2

Question: how did you partition your SD card? I've been searching around and have had no luck.

Problems with 64gb uhs micro sd and Cleanrom

I've read on the forums that some Ppl experience touchscreen lag if they are using a 64 gb micro sd. You would press the touch screen and the Tf300 becomes unresponsive. The fix seems to be formatting it to FAT32 but I'm not 100‰ sure this will work.
Also, anyone on Cromi Xeno genesis based on 4.2.1 using a 64 gb SanDisk UHS card successfully? If so which kernel and is front camera working? Thanks in advance

Yes I can confirm that a Sandisk 64gb micro SDXC UHS-I Class 10 works without issue on CROMi-X 4.3 in both exFAT & FAT32
Kernel - TF300: ASUS 10.6.1.14.4 Modded Stock Kernel By _that / flumpster
Front camera working fine and have had no lag what so ever with this rom.
I did have some issues with this card not being able to mount in twrp recovery 2.4.4.0-4.2 but the new twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 has fixed this problem and can now mount this card again in recovery without issue.
Here is a pic of the card I use

32 GB SD Card Class 10

Is anybody using something like this ? is it better than the stock 8 GB SD card that comes with the device ? is it recommended ?

At the time that the specs came out there was no 64GB cards available only the 32, in theory it should take any card size formatted in fat32

I tested it with CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2 and I didn't have any probem.
With CM9 I was using a Samsung MicroSD 4Gb Class 6 and didn't give me any problem.
If you need any other info, let me know

Samsung 32GB microSD Card
No problems at all, since original 2.3.6 Gingerbread. Now I'm with dhiru's CM10.1A9 with SwapSD so I can use it as internal storage.
EDIT: my Samsung microSD died last week.
I replaced it with this SanDisk Extreme PLUS 32GB microSDHC UHS-1 card (features a limited lifetime warranty).
is there a way of knowing weither a class 10 micro sd card is original? I am in Nigeria and wants to buy 32gb class 10 card
8 gb class 10 is working
I am using C10 32GB Kingston, it's working fine

Motorola and other OEMs only document support for what they can test at time of original device release, and don't update as newer SD cards are available.
Likely a 1 terabyte card would work fine.
