Menory card 64gb XC dont fit the Xoom card slot?!? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I am trying to use a brand new Qilive 62GB XC I (class 10) memory card on my Motorola Xoom MZ605 with ICS 4.0.2 and apparently it doesnt fit in the memory card hole on the tablet... I mean i cant insert it properly in the tablet card slot... When i insert the card it goes down the card slot and thats it.. It seems its loose..
This is very strange because my SanDisk 8GB HC card fits well easy in the tablet card slot.. When i insert this card on the slot it make that click and fit well in the slot..
Are the 64Gb cards different?? It seem that the 64 Gb are bigger and thick and fatty cards...

Any help guys??

Sorry, I almost didn't see this. The Xoom was originally designed to use both a micro sdcard and a SIM card for those connected with a carrier. The 64 gig sdhc micro sdcard should have no problem working if you get it in the right slot . This is the slot closest to the screen. Be sure to face the lip on the card towards your screen(Front of the tablet).
By the way, I did this same thing and had to take the back off of my Xoom to retrieve my sdcard. So that I don't miss any questions you might have,email me at my personal email:

Though I no longer use my Xoom, I'm still here to help.

Mini-SD WiFi Card that doesn't stick out

Is there a mini sd wifi card that doesn't stick out of the card slot of the treo 750 (so I can clode the latch)?

Mini SD is a standard size and shape. They fit fine.
well, not quite. I've read reviews about the spectec mini sd wifi cards, and they do stick out of the card slot so you cannot close the plastic door. So you are not right. (Btw, few years ago, sandisk had a sd wifi card, which was sticking out about an inch from the card slot. So that the card is mini sd doesn't mean it won't stick out. It only means, it will fit the slot)

I don't think any exist right now. They get horrible reception as is and enclosing it completely would make it virtually unusable.
I only found this one, too, and I am really missing WLan.

2GB miniSD card not recognised, help!!!

i have recenly bought a htc trinity and i put my 2GB miniSD card inside it. the phone doesn't recognise that the memory card is inside, but when i put a 16MB miniSD card inside it, it recognises that a memory card is inside it. i have flashed 4 different roms and the same thing keeps happening. please can someone help me so that i can use my 2GB memory card. i would be so happy if someone could help me to get it recognised.
My experience is this:
Sandisk is the best brand for your trinity. I tried using a generic brand 2 gb minisd card and trinity won't recognize it. When I insert the sandisk mini 2 gb minisd card my trinity sees it instantly.
yes i bought a sandisk and it worked, thank you for your advice it was very helpful
FAT instead FAT 32
Normally works just to format it to FAT instead FAT 32

can blackstone read 32gb micro sd?

i bought a 32Gb micro sd card but my blackstone doesnt recognize it, is it a driver-software issue, or hardware incompatibility? Is there any way to make it work?
the micro sd card doesnt have specified the brand or the class on it, only have microSD HC logo.

MicroSDHC not recognized...

When i got this tablet, it came with a 16 GB Lexar Micro SDHC card. The only problem is that my TF-101 doesn't recognize it even though it says preparing External Storage. I have a SD card adapter, but idk if it will work with a SDHC, so idk if I can format it to Fat32. Any ways to solve this?
Plug it into a PC if you can, and check what filesystem its formatted as. Then try reformat it to fat32.
And just to clarify, the "HC" part in SDHC simply stands for "High Capacity", which generally means SD cards larger than 2GB.
Some devices can have issues with certain SDHC cards (like my Wii and my N7B), but to my knowledge TF101 is not one of those devices.
Of course, that said, that doesnt mean some weird china-knockoff brand will work, but Lexar isnt that bad and shouldnt pose any issues imo.
So uh, yea, try reformatting it to fat32.
I've several MicroSD cards. One of them, a 16GB one, is unable to work with TF using internal slot. The card works in my PC under Linux and/or Win7, but NOT in TF using internal slot. If I plug an external SD reader in the dock USB port, card is read without any problem.
Of course my other cards work like a charm with internal slot. Why? I don't know.
My solution: use this 'special' SD microUSB card in other device and buy a new one with my TF.
My Lexar 32gb class 10 quit working suddenly as well...the past couple of days it has not been recognized when in the micro SD slot BUT when I put it in an adapter and insert it in my dock it will work just fine. The only thing I have changed was update to the latest OC ICS kernels...wonder if that's the issue?

faulty microsdhc card reader on TF700?

I just got my Sandisk Ultra 32gb microsdhc UHS-1 (Class 10) card from http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007XZM6VG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 today and my TF700 (rooted) is unable to mount the SD Card. Everytime I try to "Mount External Storage" from settings, it displays "Preparing External Storage" for 1 second and then disappears, with no SD card mounted. I've formatted this SD card using FAT32 (4kb, 8kb, and 16kb cluster sizes), NTFS, and exFAT file systems as well as using my phone (Droid X) and none of them have been able to be mounted on my TF700, although the FAT32 formatted SD card was able to be mounted/recognized by my Droid X. However, I'm still not even sure if it's a faulty card or a faulty card reader because my TF700 was perfectly able to recognize and mount my phone's 16gb microsdhc card (class 2 or 4) without any problems.
I've read in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761861) that people were having some trouble using microSDXC cards, but the one I have is just microSDHC (UHS-1), so there shouldn't be any problems recognizing it. Does anyone else have any idea what the problem might be?

Everyone's having issues with microSD cards lol...Strange that SDHC and SDXC both aren't working right. Does anyone else have a SDHC card that is working? I can look at it when I get my tablet tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I have a SDHC card laying around.
I've just confirmed that my 32gb class 10 (UHS-1) card formatted in FAT32 works on 2 separate phones but is not recognized by my TF700 (32gb grey model). I've also confirmed that the TF700 is able to recognize and mount two separate 16gb microsdhc cards (class 2 or 4, obviously not UHS) formatted in FAT32. I'm beginning to wonder if it's just the UHS-1 compatibility that's causing the problem (maybe TF700's are not compatible with UHS speeds?) or if 32gb is too much for the TF700.
I have a 32gb microsdhc (and no at the moment I can't tell you anything about the class or speed or whatever) but I can say it works fine where my 64gb sdxc won't mount.

It looks to me like people are specifically having issues with UHS-1 cards. There's like a 6 page thread about it in the General forum. I know my 16GB microSDHC (not UHS-1) works perfectly fine.
im trying to buy one on amazon, can anyone post a 32gb that works

did you use SDFormatter to format the card? it might be good idea to do so prior to initial use.
My 32gb class 2 SDHC works fine. but my 64gb sdxc, which was fine in my xoom, is not recognized. Both are formatted the same
This is interesting. I have a dock and when I put the microsd into the SD converter, it works great. But if I take it out of the converter and put it in as a micro into the pad, the pad knows it is there, but will not mount it. This is very strange.
I found that the micro slot handles a 32gb card just fine, but not the 64 gb card. The SD slot in the dock handles all cards. I hope they come out with an update that corrects this.
Microsd card Lexar 32gb
I have the Microsdhc 32gb class 10 from Lexar i bought from amazon. This works fine, but just got my scandisk 64gb in mail today(uhs-1 class 10) and the tf700t doesnt recognize it like the rest of u guys. guess ill put it on my phone for now until they fix this issue.
I had the same problem with my kingston 16GB HC4 card.
My old 4GB HC6 card worked, but my 16GB not.
Reformatted with sdformatter and it didn't worked.
Changed the label of the card from "ASUS 16GB" to "16GB", and behold, it worked.
Tried to change the label back to "ASUS 16GB" and it is still working.
Strange problem...
Future firmware update will fix it.

Micro SDcard receptacle
I can top some cards not working. Got my TF700 Wednesday and was pleased that everything seemed to be ok. Started to insert Micro SD and discovered the slot was empty. No receptacle was in the slot. Card was flush withtablet body, had to retrieve it with a pin. Replacement on the way. Asus needs to give little stickers to QC inspectors so they can tell who lets this kind of thing through. UPDATE: Asus tech told me to use small object to press edge piece of metal inside MicroSD slot. Viola the receptacle is alive and working.

ASUS TF700T 32GB Grey
I have tried:
2GB SanDisk (normal Micro SD)
4GB SanDisk SDHC
16GB SanDisk SDXC
Also took the card out of my RAZR Maxx and it too did nothing in the device.
I also note that there is absolutely zero indication that I have even plugged anything into the slot. There no message "preparing media" that I have seen others post. I also do not see any option for preparing any external storage from the menu in settings.
I am wondering if the slot is bad, or the device has issues with SanDisk cards.
Detect it for a second
Hy, i recibed the infinity today and bought it with a microsd card y got from amazon
