[Q] SD Card 64GB for Moto G 4G (XT1039)? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Can you tell me if it is possible to male fully functioning 64GB SD card on a Moto G 4G (XT1039)?
Normally it is 32 GB but I read messages on the web saying that 64 MB would be possible on this mobile...
If so, what are the types or brands to avoid or better to buy ?
FYI, I am under Android 4.4.4 originally installed on that mobile.
Thanks in advance for your help.

YEP IT WORKS
i had a 64gb card in mine for awhile until it corrupted (cost £4) so was all due to it being cheap and unbranded
however it did function properly but you have to used a program called RMPrepUSB to format it to FAT32 so it can be seen by the phone
all you cant transfer many apps over to any SD card due to the framework( i think) developers use , it prevents you from moving it off the phone storage
also avoid buying UHS SD Cards as the moto g cannot operate at UHS speeds , so a class 10-4 should do

I have 64gb samsung memory card and it's working great. Best way how to avoid problems with your card is for fist time format it by your phone.

Thanks a lot for your answer ! Could you send me the references of your 64 Go Samsung SD card, please ?
No risk that it will not be recognized correctly under Android 5.x ?
Furthermore, I can't find a 64 Gb Samsung micro SD card with Class 10 without UHS ? There is Class 6 without UHS and Class 10 with UHS... Any idea about the model which fits well the Moto 4G 1st generation (XT 1039) with Android 4.4.4 and Android 5.x ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

What do you think about the answers in the Motorola forum : https://forums.motorola.com/posts/cfe58e3647?commentId=943250#943250 ?
People don't recommand 64 Gb microSD cards there...

That's a load of rubbish. If a 32gb card works than there is no reason a 64gb won't.

Also whether the card is UHS or not shouldn't matter. UHS cards are faster but not in the moto g but it shouldn't affect compatibility.

I bought Samsung card, because in that time was problem with other cards. But that was sorted with update about year ago. This is my card http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00J29FF4G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434319415&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+64gb+micro+sd
Anyway since apps are in internal memory any card from class 6 up should be OK .

[Q] Desire S, Changing SD card

My 8gb SD card in my Desire S is almost running out.. I have like 3.4 gb left. I'm planning to buy a 16gb sd card for my phone.. How will i transfer all my files, apps, games, also the save games to the new sd card? Is it only copy paste all the folder to the new SD card? Or i'll backup the apps? When i put the new 16gb SD card on my phone, i want nothing will change, like the same wallpaper, the widgets in the screen, etc.. except the memory of course. I don't wanna reinstall all of them again. Is their a way to do that? Thanks!
Yeah basically that's it .
'Almost running out'? you've near 50% left when you take in that you never get the full 8Gb due to system files etc

have you tried it, copy paste the folders to the new SD card? I heard some people are having problems like they had to redownload all the apps and install it. So, i'm just making sure nothing will change. Can you give me some steps on how to do this without having any problems? Thanks!

It's easiest and quickest to do if you have a card reader but ultimately all you do is copy all files from SD1 to SD2 (via PC)
Best to power off phone (ensure that you have settings->power->fastboot=OFF)
remove SD1
load SD1 into card reader
copy SD1 to a directory on PC
load SD2 into card reader
copy PC (SD1 files) to SD2
replace SD2 in phone
power on phone
nothing will have changed.
If you don't have a card reader then simply do then same but with the SD cards in the phone (mounting SD as Disk), worth Quick Formatting SD2 before you copy files from PC onto it so that its empty.
What if I'm on a custom Rom, like virtuous unity? Will it go back to stock after changing the SD card? And do I have to root the phone again? Thanks!

Sounds ok, although I don't personally know the manufacturer....
The size you want depends on the use that you give phone, if you watch movies often, listen to lots of music or are constantly flashing ROMS therefore taking backups, possibly consider a 32Gb card, I personally believe that you can never have enough space...on SD (obviously depends on budget).
The higher the class the faster/better the card
The current SDHC specification defines Class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 as follows:
Code:
Class Minimum Speed
2 2MB/s
4 4MB/s
6 6MB/s
8 8MB/s
10 10MB/s
1 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes
2 Based on SanDisk internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device.
I thought I read somewhere on the forums that Desire s can't read cards above class 6 at their full speed ( could well be wrong on that).
The cards will work fine just the transfer speeds won't be as stated
Did anyone try this already? I'm just want to make sure that nothing will change, and i won't reinstall anything.. It's such a hassle reinstalling everything. My phone is rooted and on a custom ROM virtuous unity 2.37.. You guys positively sure that when i put the 16gb sd card on my phone, nothing will change? Even the widgets on the screen? I'm getting my sd card this week, so i just wanna make sure. Thanks!

Yes ,it's how I changed from the 8Gb card that came with the phone to the 16Gb I have in it now
Does it matter class of SD card, I mean has any sence in speed of daily work with SD having 10 class or class 2 of default one is enough?

was your phone rooted, and on a custom ROM when you changed the SD card? You just did the steps that ben_pyett posted? You didn't reinstall anything in your phone? Everything was exactly the same like with the old SD card? Sorry for asking too many questions, i just don't wanna reinstall anything again, and i don't wanna fix the homescreen.

As far as I know the card can't transfer at a rate above a class 6 card.Obviously it will accept faster cards but only read/write to them at a class 6 speed

i just bought 2 32 gb cards both class 4 and cant seem to get them to copy tried formatting them checked for errors but still cant transfer all my stuff it copies the folders but not whats inside them any ideas?
Cards purchased from a reliable seller? Or did they come from the land of China? ;-).
EBay specials lol they work if you take all out of folders but no good for the likes of cmw

So ... was the seller reputable?
Also what format are they formatted in? .. because I believe they'll need to be in FAT32, not NTFS and not EXT4.

Yeah, I have had nothing but problems with it. If I go into mass storage mode it get corrupted within a few minutes of me transferring files over. So i decided to use a sd adapter and just transfer that way. It worked, but after about an hour it says I have inserted a blank SD card and it wants me to format it. Then when I format it, it never mounts. I have to reboot to get it to mount again. Maybe a faulty card. I dunno.

There is only a 8 GB version, but you get at least around 4 GB left.

Is there a way to increase the 1.1GB space for the application (EX join with the 4GB internal space). I don't need internal space for data, i usually store them in the SD.

After this mod your sd card will be recognized as internal memory and the internal around 4 GB will be recognized as sd card.
Ok... Is possible to change partition table for join application space with intrrnal space (1.1+4 GB) and use for applicazioni? So the sd could be used as external space...

Nope, as far as I can remember it was detected by the phone worked.. It still works like a charm. I am using the phone now for over a year with that card and never had problems. I think I tested nearly all available ROMS for that phone and never had problems with the card. At present I am using ViperSV 1.1.1.on the phone.

See, I'm also running ViperSV 1.1.1 and when I put the card in initially it said it was unsupported or damaged. Tried reformatting it in Windows, now shows up as 59GB exFAT in Windows but still not working on the phone. Is yours formatted differently or something?
UPDATE: I'm hearing elsewhere that it needs to be formatted as FAT32 in order to work, and Windows doesn't want to format it to anything other than exFAT or NTFS (while SD Formatter only uses exFAT). Apparently there's some sort of issue with the fact that the Class 10 cards have exFAT and a mysterious 16MB hidden offset partition at the start of the drive, so I'm now gonna try getting rid of that to see if it works.
UPDATE: Yep, looks like both: 1. The phone (Android?) doesn't support exFAT without a mounting mod, and 2. That weird 16MB offset at the start of the drive seems to cause compatibility issues as well. Have wiped the offset and reformatted to FAT32, and the card now works.
Thanks for the recommendation and the quick reply!

[Q] Swap external SD Card for internal memory, running 4.2.2?

I'm running CM 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Tablet 2, 7" American model 3113.
Looking for a way to swap the external sd card with the internal memory.
There are some methods listed in these forums but from the ones i've seen they don't work on 4.2.+
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

to all my friends who have posted about swapping i would like to suggest you that please do not go for swapping
it increases read write cycles of sd card resulting in damage of it
my 16 gb sandisk class 10 sd card died in this swapping
some people may say that swapping is helpful but all are not that much lucky and get there sd card damaged
i also has a galaxy ace
even on that phone which has so less ram i dont use swapping then why you people trying it on this tab which has descent ram
i would suggest please dont go for it as its for your own benefit
i am saying all this after experiencing it

maybe u should format ur sdcard then use it coz at 1st wen i used my memory card mine also didnt work bt after fomatting it worked
I'm having a problem using the card right now. I copied some picture from my laptop to the memory card and view them on my phone. some picture got error, either I can see it but it's is all back/ green/ mixture of colors or I can not open it at all. I didn't format it before I use it. Probably that is the reason
