Motorola's website says 32gb microSD is the largest supported by the Photon Q LTE and the Droid 4.
But, I have read the Droid 4 is reading 64gb microSD cards.
So, what is the make & model of the highest GB microSD card that's been proven to be read by the Photon Q LTE stock?
Modded?
Method of Modding?
Recommended microSD card and vendor?
Thanks in advance.
These are the 2 I am deciding between on Amazon:

I'm using the SanDisk 32GB Class 10 microSD card you linked to, and it works great. I've read that 64GB cards work, but I don't own one of my own to verify it.
Typically, 64 GB cards will work, they just need to be formatted to FAT32 before the phone will read them. Most/all 64 GB cards on the market are shipped formatted to ExFAT.
Personally, I am using the 32 GB class 10 SanDisk card with no problems.
Using ADATA 32 GB card, class 10, no problems.
I just tried using one of my 64GB class 10 cards this morning. No bueno. I tried formatting as NTFS or exFAT. FAT32 was not an option for formatting a card that size.
So I tried to format it from the phone directly, but it wouldn't do it.
I believe the support for 64GB is in Android 4.1
You have to format it either over a tool like "MiniTool Partition Magic" or use linux.
Microsoft is blocking FAT32 on "too big" external storages...
32gb SanDisk card here.
I think the 64gb story is correct, it will work formatted FAT32. Use basically anything but the built-in Windows utility to format...
samsung 32gb, no problemo.
I am using a 64 gb San Disk. I have been using it since February with no problems. :good:

You'll have to make sure the card is formatted FAT32. I've heard a lot of the cards larger than 32gb (beyond SDHC) come formatted exFAT.
So, I called Moto Tier 2 tech on the phone and they told me the Micro SD will support Class 10 speeds.
Then, they tell me that 32gb should be the max used.
They said that "If you use a 64gb card, it will cause issues and errors because it will overwhelm the hardward and RAM of the PhotonQ".
I was about to order a Snadisk 64gb Class 10 card, but not I'm not comfortable.
Any thoughts ????

I'm not an expert, but that doesn't make much sense to me. I've never seen that to be the case with anything else, either it works or it doesn't.
I'm also not an expert, but there was a similiar problem on PCs with 32 bit and HDDs with over 2 TB.
Some programs could not use the space over 2 TB or made problems with those HDDs.
Maybe there's a limitation in the ARM architecture?
Can only guess.

The hard drives over 2.2TB is a problem with the MBR
No, that was not the only problem.
In connection with cryptsetup the "plain" module had also problems.
The "plain64" module have no issues. -> http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#5._Security_Aspects (look at 5.15)
As I said, I am not an expert, but if there exists a plain64 (like 64bit?), I assume the old one was 32bit code.
It's just a guess, I don't know exactly, why the problem exists.
Honestly I think this is just Motorola practicing CYA (Cover Your A**). Most end users aren't going to have a clue that an SDXC card needs to be formatted in FAT32 to work with the phone, nor are they going to know that they need a third party utility to do so in Windows. Motorola probably just doesn't want to deal with support issues and unhappy customers when a 64GB card doesn't work out of the box. I see no real reason why it would "stress the hardware" any more than any other SD card, it doesn't require more voltage or amperage.
There is no issue with the ARM architecture, as it handles 64GB just fine on other phones, once the card is formatted to FAT32.
If you are right, then I am sure, that a 64 GB will work.
A friend of mine own such a SD-card (if I remember correctly), I will ask him if I could try it out.
If he owns this SD-card, then he should be using it with a Samsung Galaxy S3, stock firmware.

Hi Guys,
just got a new "16 gb class 10 joyflash micro sd' off of ebay for £18
I used h2test 1.4 with a micro sd adapter to test the speed with the test reading and writing 1GB of data
The test yielded results of 15.5 MB/s write and 16.8 MB/s read.
Are these the sort of results that I should be expecting and should they be good enough for me to use a data2ext etc rom?
Thanks
those speeds look good compared to what ive seen quoted for class 6. i think i'll buy the same as you, good value if its not fake!
I've done a complete test with h2testw and the card is indeed the full 16 GB (minus the space taken up by the fat)
I've also done this test with another card of the same type, from the same seller on ebay, that I bought for a friend and it achieved 15 MB/s write and 18.2 MB/s read. Might have to do a cheeky swap :L
any chance you can post up the item number please?
is it 110661046754 ?
yeh that's the item number of the one i got
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/16GB-16-GB-Mi...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item19c3e991e2
just ordered one hope it improves 720p video recording im sick of it jumping evey few seconds on standard class 4 card
if i had known earlier,i bought a class 6 8gig kingston which i'm not satisfied at all guess i'll order one of these next time,thanks for sharing

Ive just done the same. I use A2SD at the mo because i have a standard 8 gb class 4 i think...... crap!! Video recording lags like you said and also transferring albums takes its time too so cant wait to start using D2W
Thanks for your sharing dude!!
No problem guys
Thing is I was reading everywhere, "get this one", "or those ones are rubbish",
Was a bit confused, so kind of just took the leap and was pretty pleased with the speed test results, and the card didn't have a fake size or anything and the price was pretty cheap. Can't argue with that tbh
Im running cyanogenmod 7 rc3 atm, so it's not essentiall I have a fast sd card as the resived hboot partition table gives you loads of space.
Can't wait for a fully working gingerbread rom with sense.
Should be interesting to see what version of sense that htc give the desire gingerbread rom when it's released. Whether it'll be new, or the same one that shipped with froyo? I hope it new. But if it's not there will probably be a good desire hd port etc up in no time (then i'll need an ext partition :L)
This was the best thing I've ever bought... check my quadrant out on miui d2w. With 1 gb ext 4...

Haha yeh it is a good buy - and quick delivery
What results are you guys getting speed related? - I'm guessing the most accurate way to do it would be to test it on your computer through an adapter with the program i mentioned in the first post. But i could be wrong
it shouldn't be more then 2-3Ł.....normail cheapest option.
:O MATE i am getting one, nice find by the way! Class 4 is just not the one when it comes to D2SD or anything other than A2SD+....have you tried this with a ROM using d2EXT? or D2SD? what are your experiences if so?
Hi,
I bought the same card from same seller 16gb class 10 sd card. I am running lee droid 2.3 rom with 1gb ext 3. I did my test on my phone using sd card speed test couple of times it is showing my card write speed as 5 MB/s and reading as 14MB/s. Am i missing something here?

Yeh, i think basically the speed of your sd card in your phone when using ext partitions can depend on the kernel/how good the d2ext scripts are. I think a good thing to do to test the improvement of the sd card, is to do a quadrant test, and compare the benchmark to when you used last sd card.
Also test it in your computer to get a more accurate read/write speed. (and not through usb from phone because for some reason for me, that's very slow)
Dunno if any of you guys saw this
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/increase-the-reading-speed-of-your-sd-card/
pretty interesting. I haven't got around to doing it
Who's buying one of these, they don't come cheap at $219, but according to this article:
http://androidcommunity.com/sandisk...working-on-multiple-android-devices-20110927/
They work on the Evo 4G, and if they work on devices from way back then, then it should work on the DHD/Inspire.
Can anyone test it for the DHD?
I'm Android Communities source - here is the source material (which includes a YouTube video that they omitted):
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
I'm really very certain it will also work in the DHD, but as always confirmation is nice - I will be at an Android meetup next week so hopefully can test it in lots of devices (bound to me a DHD there).
Afaik, it shouldn't be able to access more than 32gb of its memory, even if it works.

There are also reports that they are working on many older devices for those wondering. Some include the EVO 4G, original Galaxy S, and even the HTC Desire Z (aka T-Mobile G2). With both old and new, smartphones and tablets being able to take advantage of the 64GB SD cards this is a good sign many more will have the same fate.

Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDHC_and_SDXC_compatibility_issues
SDHC and SDXC compatibility issues
In the 3.0 specification, the electronic interface of SDHC and SDXC cards is the same. This means that SDHC hosts that have drivers that recognize the newly used capability bits, and have operating system software that understands the exFAT filesystem, are compatible with SDXC cards. The decision to label cards with a capacity greater than 32 GB as SDXC and to use a different filesystem is due solely to the limitations in creating larger filesystems in certain versions of Microsoft Windows.[citation needed] Other operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem.
SDHC and SDXC cards and hosts have these compatibility issues:
Existing SDHC hosts will only support the SDXC cards at up to UHS104 speeds.[45]
SDXC hosts are backward compatible with SD and SDHC memory cards.[61]
The operating systems that support SDXC, as of 2011, are: Linux (with a proprietary driver for the exFAT filesystem),[62] Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1+,[61] Windows XP SP2 or SP3 with KB955704,[63] Windows Server 2008 SP1+, Windows Server 2003 SP2 or SP3 with KB955704, Windows CE 6+, Mac OS X 10.6.5 or later.[64]

Why would you buy this card for 219$? It's way too much...I just bought a 32GB class 10 card on eBay for 51$ (Ridata brand. Although it's not Sandisk but it's a known memory cards company).
Price goes up logarithmically as you aproach the top.
This has been true for almost everything, everytime in technology, from processors, ram, motherbards, hdd.. etc
But no, i would not give 219$ (or half of it) for a 64gb card. If it where a 2tb card, perhaps

It works as it should. Let's get something straight, the Desire HD DOES NOT SUPPORT SDXC. That, doesn't mean it will not work. Just that HTC washes their hands of it.
Now, from that wikipedia article:

This means that SDHC hosts that have drivers that recognize the newly used capability bits, and have operating system software that understands the exFAT filesystem, are compatible with SDXC cards.

According to what has been posted in this thread ... yes, its fully compatible.
the sandisk 64GB works on my htc inspire, so it should work on htc desire hd.
this card works fine on my S3, i'm really shocked as my 10.1 note does not even mount it, when i install it it says its now safe to remove, tried restarting, formating, swapping with 32gb and it mounts it fine, please help as i paid alot for the 64 and its not refundable
The problem is that right now the note doesn't support exfat whichthe 64gb cards ship with. I can confirm that a 64gb card does indeed work if is is formatted as fat32. There is a guide out there somewhere for formatting the 64gb cards as fat32 (windows doesn't show that option for 64gb cards) but I can't remember where I saw it. A Google search should be in order for that.

note 10.1 is not as good as s3, s3 accepts the 64gb format, to make it work on the note 10.1, you must downlaod a tool on windows to allow format memories bigger than 32gb to format to fat32, although it wont be the fastest, but atleast got it finally working
so i confirm the memory working but not out of the box, you need a custom software on windows to format fat32 as windows maximum formats 32gb to fat 32

All 64gb cards read as 59gb... Its due to the manufacturers calculating 64000x1000 instead of 64000x1024.... The tab uses the binary system - that a kilobyte is 1024bytes not 1000bytes. This happens with ALL digital media...

Hello,
Preamble: I curently own a TF300TG on JRO03C.WW_epad_10.4.3.9-20121106 stock, locked and not rooted
I've recently bought a Samsung 32Gb Class 10 MicroSDHC UHS-1 and the tablet failed to recognize it, while my i9000 and the PC had no trouble accessing it.
I've tried formatting it again to FAT, exFAT and NTFS without any luck.
Next I sent an e-mail to Asus support, who replied that my and any other card above class 6 is not supported, which seems to be backed up by statements of some people having similar trouble with smaller sized cards of class 10.
This post servers both as a warning to those interested in buying a card for their tablet, and as an interrogative mark for everyone: do you have a working class10 microsd in your TF300T(G)? If so, what make is it, and what firmware are you on? Do you think this is a hardware or a perhaps a stock firmware limitation?
Thanks,
Cheers

If so, what make is it, and what firmware are you on? Do you think this is a hardware or a perhaps a stock firmware limitation?
Thanks,
Cheers

I have a microSandisk 32 Gb class 10
It worked on ICS rom from Asus.
Asus JB rom I do not know.
Have changed rom many times.
It works with Surdu_Petrus roms and kernels
Can not get it to work with Clemsyn kernels
:crying:
I'm using a Sandisk 32gb class 10 on my TF300T running JB with no issues at all. :good:
Hi guys,
Given your answers, and to the fact that my old i9000 recognizes it without problems, I tend to incline it'd be a stock firmware limitation, rather than a hardware one... Also I got another reply yesterday from Asus, which among others, reads: "This is a hardware limitation, not a software one. Although with a firmware update you might be able to use your card"
I'm thinking of buying a class 6, and keep this one for my Hero2.
Cheers

Yea if it works haha. I'm curious, if it doesn't I'm wondering if it would be the ROM and if the one you built would help. I knows the card slot works as I've had a 16 class 10 work in it.

Well, I have a feeling Paranoid Android would read it since its reading my 32gb.
Oh,I didn't build the ROM either, I'm just running it.
Keeganmccallum ported it for us.

Update: Got a Samsung class 6 32GB microsd UHS-1 and history repeats itself. Well kind of, because when I plug in the card, the OS becomes unresponsive for about 2 minutes, but in the end I still can't use it.
I'm wondering if it's not a UHS related firmware limitation...
Hello and happy new year, I'm back some news:
- Got a Kingston 32GB Micro SDHC which didn't work as well.
- Finally bought a Sandisk 32GG Micro SDHC UHS-1 which finally works without any problem. For future references I've attached below an image of the package I received

Transcend 32gb 10 class wont work, device hang up. On tf101 this card work perfectly. I think is kernel based error.

Running samsung 32 GB uhs-1 class 6 without any problems on stock
You guys need to make clear, this is for the built-in MicroSD slot, right? Not the SD slot in the extension keyboard...

The title does not say anything about the dock / extension kb, and we're talking about Micro SD(HC) not about SD cards, but just to make it as clear as possible yes, we're referring build in MicroSD slot.

Just wondering which 64gb microsdxc cards are you guys looking to use with your new s4? WIth al the issues with the sandisk 64, wondering if it's worth paying the little extra for samsung 64gb pro UHS1 (does the s4 support that speed?) Anyone know?
Also are you guys planning to use exfat? I hear some of the roms w/the old s3 had issues with exfat and needed fat32
Haven't heard of any problems with the s4, pretty sure there will be more info by next saturday
So I ended up getting the samsung 64gb microsdxc UHS1 speed rated, and also bought a USB 3.0 card reader that supports it. I suspect however the s4 (like the s3) will not support the higher UHS speeds:
I ordered the same card yesterday. I think the quality is alot better than sandisk. And even if the sgs4 dont support the full speed. It's still worth the few bugs more.
But maybe it do support it? Will have to wait and see.

That's also what I have. I've had no problems using it in my Sansa Fuze and Galaxy S.

Yeah the sandisk is no doubt good enough. But the samsung is faster. But the question is. Does the phone even support the ekstra speed.

Don't you have a promotional deal from Samsung in your country? We, in the Netherlands, get a 64gb c10 sd card from Samsung with the S4.
i really love faster loading apps, though i'm normally limited in how many apps i can store on the sd card... however!
-the faster write speed will definitely come in handy when taking dual shot video
-the faster read speed is definitely worth getting UHS-1 but i doubt that you will notice much difference between the sandisk and samsung versions no matter what you're doing.
still, much thanks for the benchmarks, the samsung card will definitely offer a more future-proof solution
How does the Samsung 64GB MicroSD stack up in terms of speed vs the Galaxy S4 internal memory? Also, is it worth the extra $10 or so for the Samsung version vs Sandisk?

my 32gb sandisk was effed in my s3, mounted and unmounted every minute, could take a battery from 100 ~ 30 in an hour with screen off in your pocket.. replaced it with a new one and has worked fine since, there's a visual difference of the memory array on the card, so i think there's a upgraded hw version of the sandisk microsd cards. got my bad one from bestbuy last black Friday
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Huh.... strange, I bought mine during Black Friday too, not from BBY though, and hasn't caused any problems! But that's what "a bad batch" means, I wasn't in that batch, thankfully
thats good news!! i have not had a bad card either

I went with SanDisk because I've had the fewest problems with that brand compared to say Sony or PNY. I tried using the card as exFAT and ran into problems. Furthermore, it's incompatible with CWM (due to the Microsoft patent, they can't include support), so I used guiformat to reformat it FAT32, and now it runs smoothly and is visible to CWM. Having so much room at hand is quite liberating.
For what it's worth, the 64GB Samsung Extreme Pro card is $49.99 at your local Frys (if you have one nearby) until 5/23.

If not, Amazon recently dropped their pricing to $52.98 shipped.

Picked that up at Radio Shack for $43 before Christmas. Formatted it to fat32 for my Note 2 and popped it in the S4 with no issues.
When I buy another one it'll be SanDisk or Samsung.
