128gb micosd card? - Galaxy S 5 Accessories

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.

hope this helps you out.

I guess i'm the minority here, but I formatted using exFAT on OSX. Works perfectly with no issues.

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)

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.

I've used nearly all of my 32GB internal and 64GB external! Several GBs are movies though, which would be easily deleted. Do you guys know of anything along the lines of Google Music but for movies and such? I want to be able to stream movies.

Galaxy S3 wont read 16gb micro sd?

So I have a 16b micro sd card that came with my OG Droid 2 years ago. I formatted it with fat32 and exfat and trying both still cant be read by my S3. 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.
I had same issues with an old card that had barely been used.Broke down & bought a Samsung card.Cost extra cpl $ but have had 0 problems since.

Anyone get a solution to this? Just bought a brand new 32GB class 10 MicroSD, I formatted exFAT and NTFS using my computer but NTFS isn't read on the card and exFAT keeps getting the "unexpectedly removed" notification every 5 seconds...
Fat32 means I can't store files larger than 700mb right? i.e. a hi-res movie won't work?
Fat32 is the only way i could get my 64gb ultra -1 card to be read in cwm. Use the program from ridge crop. I believe your limited to files no larger than 2 or 4gb, cant remember off hand.

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.

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!

Heads up 64gb MicroSD

Just a heads up, might help a few people. My phones batt drained completely and whenever i charged it and turned it on it always said that my SD card was damaged and needed reformatting. At first i kept on reformatting it and thought i might have bought a faulty SD card.
Then i thought id experiment when it happened again, after plugging it in, i let it charge from 1% to 10% and reset the phone. Suddenly my SD card works again and was no longer considered "damaged"
Just randomly guessing that maybe my phone didnt have enough juice to run the SD card when it was drained to 0.
Have only gotten to test it once. Ill try again tom since on a daily basis i drain the batt to 0 by 6pm. Ill post again if it works again.

sandisk 64gb?
http://www.phonearena.com/news/SanDisk-says-it-produced-some-bad-32GB-and-64GB-microSD-cards_id40986
I have just purchased the 64gb ultra SanDisk as well.
Put it in once i had formatted it for exFAT and all was well until a few hours into my phone usage it said i need to format my card, as it may be corrupt/damaged. I took no notice and went into storage and mounted it, and it worked again. It does this all the bloody time.
So i tried to change ROM's as i thought hey.. who knows. But behold that when i select a ROM from the SD card it stops working half way through my flash. Lucky I have a backup on my internal SD card or i'd be fu**ed...
Formatting for FAT32 does the same thing. I've emailed sandisk as I must have one of their defective cards.

There seems to be a fix from Phil (Creator of Philz CWM)
In an ADB shell you can type this code to attempt to mount the 64Gb card.
Use a tool like this if you are unfamiliar with ADB interfaces.

and then check this out if you are also unfamiliar on how to use ADB...
LINK:
Code:
mount -t exfat /external_sd
I have not tried it yet as I am awaiting my new sanDisk ultra card...

hmm how is that a fix? it's just mounting the card.
can you link to where phil suggests this? Thanks.
i'm also having issues where my card will just randomly unmount then remount, and the media scanner process then scans the entire card and chews through my battery. i have a 64gB sandisk

Phil said that it may be a problem with CWM mounting the card. Like I said I can't try it so can't confirm if it works. No one as yet has reported it working or not yet..
Forum link:
oh CWM, i don't have any problems there, just when i'm actually booted into android proper.

I have SanDisk 64GB and it have been working fine in my S4 since 10 of May :fingers-crossed:

sd card won't mount

I've gotten one of the Micro USB adapters discussed in the Ultra Accessories forum. I'm rooted running 4.2.2. I plug a 64 gig Micro USB card into the adapter, plug the adapter into the phone, then got to setting, Storage, and scroll down to USB DISK /Storage/usbdisk_1.1.1. It looks like it is trying to mount...but I can't seem to find the disk in ES File Explorer. I'm looking under the /mount/ directory, but don't see it. The card is formatted as FAT32.
Any ideas?
Thx
OTG mounting was removed in 4.4. Since you are rooted, just install Stick Mount and you'll be good to go.
Note though exFAT isn't supported, you'll need to reformat to fat32.

Sorry, reading comprehension fail. Does the card work in another machine? Not all 64g cards work with fat32.

Hey Ken
I've put it into the three other computers and it works fine. The other thing I'll mention is that it never seems to finish calculating size. Also where would I look for it under es file explorer.../mnt?

I'm an idiot....I found it. Sorry for waisting the forum space. If I had taken the time to READ "/USB DISK /storage/usbdisk_1.1.1" (which I obviously did later) I would have looked under /storage/ and found usbdisk_1.1.1
thx.
