I'm planning to buy a 64GB memory card for HTC A9 and bind it as its internal memory. Could you guys suggest on this?
1. If anyone is using 64GB card, can you advise what are the specs I need to look it? I have read couple of reviews and seems "SAMAUNG -EVO + and SAMSUNG -EVO-" to be good. Any further suggestions?
2. Is it ok to bind the 64 memory as internal memory and does it work without any problems?

FYI, using a PNY U3 Pro Elite card without any issues. It's one of the fastest out there for the money. I did not bind it as internal memory though, and just use it as a secondary storage just in case (that way I can always remove it and still access thru a card reader on computer).
if you are looking to format as Internal Memory; UHS II, Speed Class 10
otherwise; UHS I, Speed Class 10

Thanks for the info !!
I had loads of problems with this (gone through 3 super fast SD cards... with each install the software would say it was not fast enough. Just ignore it ... the software lies). For almost a year it worked fine and then I ran out of memory space for apps, and I had to constantly delete apps to make room for updates. Finally I was forced to do a factory reset. Setting the SD memory card up after a factory reset means that you can create extended memory from scratch and allows you to put all the apps where the developer has given permission to run from the SD card onto the extended memory. After factory reset and going through and moving apps to extended memory everything has worked great.
I'm using "SanDisk Extreme PLUS 64 GB microSDXC" formated as internal Storage.
No Problems so far

I've read 2 different things about how much memory the Captivate will see. Does anyone know for sure if it's 48 or 32 gigs?
I put my 32Gb Sandisk in my Captivate today...and it mounted ok, all 21Gb of installed music and movies on that card seemed to work fine, based on my random sampling.
Keep in mind that it makes a "fake" /sd directory in the root of the internal /sdcard, and that points to the external storage when using an Android file explorer like Astro. And also keep in mind that there's a lot of apps that just don't know about this directory, so they can't "see" the external storage.
Windows sees two distinct storage devices, however, as it should be.
It has build in internal 16GB (2GB of that is reserved for apps) rest 14GB is data for whatever, Plus whatever Micro SDHC card you will add.
16+16 SD = 32GB
16+32 SD = 48GB
I have put 16GB micro SDHC to it (32GB cards are to expensive) connected to windows i get two drive letters one for Internal 14GB Data partition and one for my own 16GB card.
Hope that helped you.

Yep the ATT site spec sheet says 32gb is supported by the phone. And from all appearances it does indeed seem to work with the phone just fine.
Now the real question. Who is going to tear apart the phone and replace the internal SD card (since I assume it's literally an internal microSD card as seen in other devices) with a 32 GB card and see if it can handle 32+32 GB.

hmm if only i had two 32gb sd cards i would but they expensive
The real reason for replacing the internal SD card would be because it's so damn slow.
I agree with the slow part hence the mods to change the cache onto the external which speed up the phones.... any word on if the internal SD card is replaceable or not? If it is, that would be great news as its definately not as fast as a class 6 card and replacing it with one would definately speed things up.

Haha, exactly that. If I had the money for two 32 GB cards I'd try.
Edit Hmm... I saw a tear down of the Galaxy S and I didn't see an internal microSD card, so maybe it doesn't use a card like the Streak. Might be built in and unable to swap. Oh well!
Does anyone have problems with the 8gb micro sd with 3gb or less free?

Like what problem?
Yes. What kind of problems. I have 2GB free and use to have less.
maybe he mean does we hava anything wrong with that case.
my problems are:
i have the original microsd 8gb class 2 when i put some videos, music or pictures and the capacity it's over 5gb, when i restart the phone the "preparing microsd" notification doesnt dissapear and i never take the phone control back except when i release the battery and put it back and change the microsd.
I've bought microsd 8gb class 4 and the same happens.
it's there any solution?
i'm using 4gb class 6 and no problems but i need more space.
Your problem is the SDCArd in general, I was nearly trowing away my XT720, bought an new SD card from ADATA and same problem. My last hope was an new Quality SDcard now with a "Samsung Micro-SDHC 16GB Class 10 - Plus-Serie MB-MPAGA" I have a new phone , no errors, no restarts, didient have to "battary reset" since i have that card.
The investment in a good SDCARD is (IMHO) the best you can do to your phone.
Did a few Google play store app updates this afternoon. Then decided to restart the phone. The phone no longer recognizes my SD card. Any suggestions?
Never seen a device do this. Tried other micro SD cards I have and the phone recognizes them fine. Tried my 64GB card in the computer and it sees all the data on the card. Stumped on this?
I notice my other SD cards are formatted as FAT32 and my newest 64 GB card is an exFAT format, but it's read it fine up to today?
Have u tried formating it to fat32.
Did the problem go away?
Wouldn't format to fat32. I ended up moving all my data (files, videos, photos, app data, etc.) Over to my computer, then I reformatted the SD card and moved all my data back. Phone reads all the data fine now, but I had to reload all my apps that I had running of the SD card. What a PITA!

I had this problem with a couple of sandisk 64gb microsd's while I was out of town....the only solution I found was finally to use an adata one...and I'm now using a samsung 128gb. I tried formatting it on a linux pc and the phone...it did not like the sandisk's and would eventually lose them. I did have some success in only formatting the 64gb sandisks to 32gb but I may not have waited long enough for it to get corrupted as my adata one was available once I returned home.

I'm starting to have what may develop into the same problem with the Sandisk 64 gb sd card in my camera (not a phone) -- so maybe Sandisk is having some reliability problems?

It was very frustrating for me as the whole point of purchasing sandisk was based on their reliability. I was concerned about the samsung 128gb I picked up for $69.99 but it's worked like a champ and has fast read/write speeds.
Trouble with Samsung EVO 64GB sd card
My Samsung EVO 64GB only partially works with my 6045i. It shows as mounted but struggles to unmount. Takes 2 tries. When I try to have a 3rd party app use it for storage it doesn't show available even with show SD card enabled and use Android 5 Storage Application Framework (see the attached screenshot).
I grabbed two other microSD cards, one Sandisk and one Patriot (Class 4), both 32GB. Both worked flawlessly in my Idol 3.
So now my son's Galaxy S3 is using the 64GB Samsung card (he's running CyanideL) and it appears to operate correctly.
I'm ok with using a 32GB for now, but what other cards are folks using for either 64 or 128GB external storage?

I also own same Samsung 64 gb microsd card. However, i can get access from 3rd party apps, but suffer from random cuts while playing music, seems media app issue.
Problem was firmware not microSD issue.
I have both a Sandisk and Samsung 64gb and they both have had the same problem that every once and while the phone will reboot by itself and when it come back up I cannot access SD card. I have taken it out and I can see all the apps, music and videos are still there on my computer but in the phone nothing. I have to save, reformat and re-download apps.
Anyone have a 128GB card fully working?
So the 64gb Samsung EVO died in my son's S3, so I gave him the 32gb one that I was using and sprung for a 128gb SiliconPower card, rated at up to 75MBps.
I can get the stock camera to save photos to it but when I try Open Camera, it isn't seen. I have storage access framework enabled in OC. I get the attached screenshot. Note that I do have "show sd card" selected. I can toggle it on/off with no visible change.
Its not just Open Camera either. Another app, Solid Explorer, has the same issue if I try move any photo files through it, it asks me to grant permission, shows the same window as attached, and then can't complete because the OS isn't showing it as available.
Any thoughts? Is this a bug in 5.0.2?
thanks,
I heard marshmallow android 6 update you can make external SD card as internal storage. Is that true? Has anyone tried it yet?
Yes, I tried it on my HTC m8 gpe and it works fine, tried with 128GB card.

Am talking about changing external SD card to internal storage on HTC one A9 with Sense 7 UI with Marshmallow Android 6?
i don't understand what you mean by adoptable storage? do you mean Internal storage ?
When he says adoptable/adoptive storage, he means that you will format your SD card to internal storage. There is an option in the settings. I have done the same with my HTC One A9 using SanDisk 128GB UHS-1 (version 1) Read 90 MB/s.
By doing so, all your DATA will be SAVED in the "new" internal storage (128gb and not in the 32gb phone storage).
However, APPS will STILL be installed in the PHONE storage (32gb).
E.g. the HTC Camera app will remain in your phone storage (32gb) but all camera shots will be saved in the "new"/adoptive storage (sandisk 128gb).
Also, when you plug in your device to your PC, it will ONLY detect the adoptive storage (sandisk 128gb) as this is THE default internal storage of your phone.
I recommend formatting your SD card to internal storage if your SD card is FAST enough and you are sure that you do not need the default 32gb. Also, if your SD card is higher than 32gb of course.
Also make sure is a original sd card and not a counterfeit one, cause a counterfeit one will fry and delete all your data, best option is use a SanDisk sd card.

is 128Gb SanDisk Ultra 0MB/s 533X UHS-I Class 10 fast enough for Internal storage? or SanDisk Extreme more expensive?
Amazon should not sell fake one's.
i know Ebay sell fake ones
Will 2Gb games get install on SD card, if changed to Internal storage?
Either one are good, im using the 128gb one
SanDisk 128gb 90mb/s class 10 UHS-1 (ver1) is good enough.
I tried formatting an old SanDisk 64gb 30mb/s class 10 and my One A9 says the card is slow and may not work properly.
I bought mine from a retailer and he advised me just to buy SanDisk (US$60). They also sell Kingston 128gb (US$48) but he didn't recommend it since the actual speed of their class 10 (90mb/s) as per package is just around 40+mb/s. It's original but it seems Kingston is lying on the max read speed.
Note: I stay in Malaysia so I'm not sure if microSD cards are cheaper in your country.
Anyone use Samsung micro SD cards in their U12 (or other device)?
I've used SanDisk exclusively the last few years, and PNY before that. But, the Samsung Evo cards are consistently $10-$15 cheaper for a UHS-3 128gb card.
Just wondering if anyone else uses them, and how well they work for 4K videos.
the Samsung ones are the best, but the PNY 256GB is UHS III class 10 speed V30 A1, and works very well on my HTC U12+, for the price worth each penny

I got uhs samsung microsd 64gb. I got it from my previous phone note4. No problem. Very quick read and write.
I am using Sandisk's Extreme Pro 64GB UHS-II - https://www.sandisk.com/home/memory-cards/microsd-cards/extremepro-microsd-uhs-ii for my 4K recording and playback... very fast read and write speeds with no problems to report.

Do you save your pictures to the SDCARD or internal storage?
I'm getting the message my SDCARD isn't fast enough when I save to it from the photo app using this Kingston SDCA3/64GBSP 64 GB microSDHCUHS-I Speed Class3 U3 Memory Card so looks like I need to upgade my card. Just that Extreme pro is over £100 so want to make sure it works without any warnings before I pull the trigger on it.
Thanks

Yup, I save both 4K videos and pictures to the SD-Card with zero problems. Just make sure you don't encrypt the SD-Card as it impacts both read/write speeds which in turn results in the slow speed warning being displayed.
Cheers
Edit: I got mine at a discounted price of $95

I was getting the same message for my transcend card, I almost bought a new sandisk card, and stumbled onto the storage settings for the card on the phone. It gives me the option to format the card for the phone. It says that after formatting, the card will only work with the the phone. I am ok with that because it is for the phone and I like to store my pics on the external sd card to not waste space on the internal. Just go to settings > storage > portable storage (select the setting icon next to your sd card) > format
