One of my friends is going to buy a Droid X and Verizon is offering a 32GB MicroSD for $100 with the purchase of a Droid X. My friend already has a 16GB MicroSd and does not want to spend any more money. He offered to get me the 32GB MicroSD from Verizon if I gave him the money. Does anyone know what's the highest capacity MicroSD supported in the Captivate? Everywhere I read it says "up to 32GB" supported which I "assume" includes the integrated 16GB.
its 32gb. it what most of all new phones capacity. it means whooping 48gb that we can have in samsung captivate. now thats alot of memory.

Could you please point me to a link where I can verify this information. I hate to waste $100. 48GB sound great, but I want to be completely sure.
I dont think you can use a 32gb. Everywhere ive read it says 16gb max is what is supported.
I think because the internal memory is actually an SD card itself, and the max sdhc standard can handle is 32. So 16 internal and 16 microsd = 32 -> full

Look under "SD card and phone storage" and it clearly has an "internal SD card" as well as external
which is why i mentioned the above
pdadb.net says "microSD, microSDHC, TransFlash
Supports High Capacity (SD 2.0/HC) memory cards with capacity of up to 32GB"
they could be wrong though. id get a 16 just in case. the proce on the 32 is retarded high for now.
I have a 32GB SanDisk card in my Captivate.
I bought it yesterday from Verizon's website for $99 including free next day shipping.
The captivate fully supports the SDHC format, thus it supports adding cards up to 32 gigs. Should be the same for any SDHC compliant device. The only exception to this are a hand-full of devices that support 4gig and smaller SDHC cards via ugly hacks.
On a side note, it's redundant to say " supports SDHC up to 32 gigs", since there will never be a SDHC card >32 gigs, but that's advertising for you

I have a 32 gb card now, and the internal of 16. Both show up at their correct capacities, and when I fill them all the data is accessible.
Ah, it's too bad that ALL the prerelease materials state the maximum SD size as 16 GB. I would have purchased a 32 gig if I had known.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
its 32gb
(too short )
All Galaxy S devices can support external SD cards up to 32gb, that is excluding the internal storage. I have a 32gb card in mine, which I will never ever fill up.
Samsung's site, FYI, currently specifies 32GB support for the microSD card slot:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I897ZKAATT-features
If you got $200 to spare you can buy a 64gb sdxc card and see if it works. I personally don't need that much space, but i can use that much money
The only time it wasnt recommended to use a 32G was with a MiUi rom but
i think that issue is fixed anyway
SDXC in captivate
The temptation of 80gb on my phone was too great- I caved and bought a 64gb SDXC card from sandisk for 80 bucks. I dumped a few videos from my desktop onto the card to test it out, and got a damaged sd card message, prompting to format it. I clicked okay, forgetting that the ICS build I'm using formats internal SD instead of external SD. So that hurt.
Next I tried a nook color using CM7. Got the same damaged sd card, but it was able to format it. I got a reboot as it attempted to re-mount it following the format, but following the reboot, it was usable. It played video and showed up as 59.6GB or something close. This newly android-formatted card wouldn't work in when stuck back in the captivate, however. It's possible that it will work on a different rom- one that's able to format it itself, but after losing the internal SD, I'm going to hold off on messing around with an old GB rom.
I want to use a bigger micro SD card slot because I store a lot of pictures and two gigabytes is not enough what are the available and highest gigabyte size card slot I can use and what class with no problems for this device LG optimus one thank you

32gb.
Everything higher would be SDxc and thus not compatible with our device
I'm using a class 4 card and feel it's sufficient. But since SD cards are fairly cheap in most countries nowadays, I'd choose a class 10 card. They just read and write way quicker (and can subsequently also be applied to enhance your RAM ).
I am going to buy myself a 64GB micro sd card. I guess I will go with sandisk. But as there are certain sd types there come certain speeds. Such as UHS-ll, UHS-I ,and microSDXC. Now I want to make sure that my phone (SM-G3858) Galaxy Beam 2 is able to do r/w at certain speed levels. But how can I determine that? How can I check if the sd card slot takes UHS-I? I can do a micro sd card speed check when I already bought the sd card (with some apps). But is there any way to check the speed compability BEFORE you even buy the sd card?
I did 3 speeds test on my kingston 18GB MicroSDHC/SDHC Class 10 and the sd benchmark tests were ranging from (max): Read 401,31MB/s Write 10,45MB/s (400 seemed a lot to me, but thats what it said) So that would mean my phone supports at least UHS-l?
I was thinking to buy either the Sandisk Extreme at 45r/45w, the Sandisk Ultra Plus at 40r/lower write or the Sandisk Ultra at 30r/lower write. Or should I go with another brand? Any help is appreciated
thanks
:good:
EDIT: After searching for several hours to find the best 64GB micro sd card I decided to go for the Samsung Evo 64GB. It has full 5 star reviews on amazon and the price was way better than the Sandisk extreme plus. (I paid 37 euros including shipping) This is the best review I found:
"This is a very fast card, particularly suited to not only transferring files quickly but also running as a phone or tablet card for applications as well.
In phones and tablets one of the most important things is not just the transfer speed but also the IOPs that the card can deliver. Many class 10 cards have great transfer speeds but terrible and I mean terrible IOPs, often a 5 year old card easily out performs them in IOPs.
This card delivers in both areas, fast class 10 transfer speeds 23mb read, 15mb write but also 482 write IOPs and 1668 read IOPs.
That's IOP speeds that are slower than an SSD but way faster than a hard disk. Bare in mind that some class 10 cards give 4 write IOPs and you can see why I'm impressed. The only card I have seen outperform it in IOPs it the SanDisk Extreme Pro and they are seriously expensive and not available in 64gb. Testing against the third SanDisk I have, a 32gb ultra, is almost funny as the ultra only gives 15 write IOPs under the same conditions, making this card 30 times faster.
What does this mean for normal use, well it translates into an excellent general purpose card, that even if it doesn't have the official fastest transfer speeds will actually perform much better in the real world. Which is why its getting such rave reviews on here for speed (so long as you get a genuine one!)
This was tested in my Dell Venue 8 tablet using the built in card reader. For the techies (if you've got this far then I assume you are)I am actually using it to run Server 2012 virtual machines in VMWare workstation and the performance is surprisingly good, I would even call it snappy!

Sequential read 23.66mbs write 16.03 mbps

4k random qd32 6.65mbs write 1.92 mbps

So anyways..At one point I´ll wait until the price of the Sandisk 128 GB Ultra plus card drops, then check for benchmarks and try out that one. Enjoy the info, im off
Sandisk is having quality issues with 64Gb cards, with many consumers reporting dead cards in a few months.
The Samsung you have choosen is awesome, along with transcend which are rock solid.

Just a little review for anyone interested in a 128gb Micro SD card.
3x 4GB Read/Write run to see how persistent the performance is.
1x 1GB full run
3x 1GB full run
Transfering 21,7 GB of 2080 files to the new SD card (content of old sd card copied from SSD to this card), 17,2 MB/s average write speed.
Note that the external card reader of the Galaxy S4 doesn't support UHS-I, which is why the performance is crippled.
Got the card for 86€ on german Amazon, best and fastest 128gb Micro SD you can get right now.
Hope this helped someone
Nice speeds!
I have a Xperia Z5 on preorder and am deciding which memory card is best for my needs
http://www.memorybits.co.uk/shop/se...rosdxc-uhsi-memory-card-with-sd-adapter/28253 £44.99 for 128gb
or http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Ext...443694480&sr=8-8&keywords=sandisk+extreme+pro £26.99
As according to the way Sandisk are marketing their 64gb Extreme; that is for "advanced smartphones"
I am upgrading from a Z1
The mainly difference is speed, I suggest you should buy Toshiba Exceria UHS-I U3, Toshiba is the best emmc OEM in my opinion.
SanDisk do offer a good return/warranty service - if the card should ever fail they will replace it for free - with this being said you dont want your card to fail and loose your data (since then i always keep a backup)
