easy sd question

Okay, just got a new 8g class 10 sd card... do i need to format it with a fat 32 part and an ext? For my g1 i had a fat32, ext, and swap...

Depends on the ROM you're using. With stock and CM7 you're fine with fat32.

thanks. So if I want to switch around ROMs I should put an ext partition on there?

quick question: Can the xoom take a 64gb sd card?

Hi,
just a quick question, does the xoom support a 64 gb sd card?
thanks

I tried, Xoom to my knowledge supports only upto 32 GB external SD

Yes, you can use a 64gb sd card in it as long as it is a sdxc. The one thing i will note however is that the xoom won't format it directly (recovery might, but i never could get ics to format the bloody thing.) You will probably have to use another phone, or a pc(which has additional complications) to format it.

SD Card not reading

So I place my 32GB SD card into my new 32GB galaxy s3 and it is not reading the SD card at all. Anyone else have or had this issue that may be able to shed some light? The pic is what the phone says with the card installed

I know that I had to format my 64GB card with fat32. You could give that a try.

Phone Not Reading SD Card

Is any one else having this problem?

Can it read other SD cards? My wife has received three 64GB microSD cards in a row,all from different stores, that were bad and wouldn't mount in hers or my phone. But we can mount any other SD card fine. They do have a high failure rate. You can see it all over the forums here.

I've had this problem with a 64 class. 10 sandisk. Card. Recognizes fine in my wife's s3 but mine it doesn't. Her is stock and I'm rooted and rom'ed. Going to try and Odin stock with it installed and see if that fixes it. Then just reinstall cwm and rom

Most custom roms won't recognize a card formatted with exFat. You will need to format the card with fat32 to use it...

Formatted with dos cmd prompt app I found online and now my phone reads the card

We need to compile a list of ROMs that support exFAT. In this day and age of huge capacity sdcards and the ability to rip movies, the lack of exFAT support is becoming a major liability.

What's the best App for SD Card analyzing?

I've got this 64GB sd card that I've had problems with.
Can anyone recommend an app that will analyze it and check to see if it's fraudulent?
What's the best filesystem for an sd card anyways? Fat32? More info the better!
Thanks.

you can check it using (ChkFlsh) it's a tiny applicaton runs on windows that will check the card by filling it and read it so you would know if its okay
regarding the file system i think you can only go with fat 32 , as exfat and ntfs are not recognizable by all roms
