Hello guys, I have just bougth a 256GB Micro SD, it's an AData class 10, it's not UHS-i.
I had a 32GB one inside of my phone, so I decided to copy the data from the old one to the new one...
Once I finished, I inserted it to my Z3, transfered things from internal storage to SD to free some space (photos, videos, apps), then I restarted my phone and noticed that the apps moved to te SD were not opening, then I checked Settings->Storage and saw that my SD was now just using 7GB, instead of the 47GB that were being used before restarting.
I have tried to format the SD directly from my Z3, then copy data and the same happens, in some cases it just says "Impossible to play this song" for music files, or the photos are not being shown.
Can anyone give me a solution?
Z3 only supports up to 200GB of External Storage
Theoretically it should support cards up to 2TB (not that those exist) if it allows SDXC.
"Mobile devices like smartphones support the standard , not the capacity ... It's the same with anything using removable storage.
For example, a smartphone that supports Micro SDHC (Micro Secure Digital High Capacity) is limited to just 32GB... But a television supporting Micro SDXC (Micro Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) can use storage cards up to 2TB.
It doesn't matter that 200GB is an unusual size (anything in computing or electronics relating to data almost always increases in doubles - 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, etc...)... Just as long as it's 2TB or less."

I have been grappling with the problem of storage for a while. When I had a XDA II I was thinking of getting a CF USB Host card/Sleeve/Portable HD but stuck to SD cards. I had to return a 2GB SD card a while back and was going to replace it with a 4GB card when they became cheaper but I came across an interesting device that I think has solved my storage problem (until PDA's come with high-capacity HDs). It's a Vosonic VP 6230 http://www.vosonic.com/index.php?php_mode=spec&php_itemid=36 . It works like an image-tank but unlike other image tanks you can copy from the HD to a SD card. So if you are going on a trip you can copy say movies to the SD card when you want to watch them rather than having to bring along a laptop. It also plays music/videos/photos itself but's it's not a great media player. Also you can charge it through the USB cable. ~£240 for 80GB model.
I have a shield tablet on the way, and I ordered a 64gb Samsung class 10 external SD. In intend on getting folder Mount to move games to my external. What is the best format for the external SD?
NTFS, as NVIDIA tells you in their shield FAQ. Choose 64kb for cluster size.
I was really looking forward to this update for my 2015 Moto G 3rd Gen, mainly because of the 'adoptable storage' feature. My handset is 8GB so I presumed this feature would add my Micro SD cards 32GB and combine it all. It makes it look like it does, but actually it really doesn't...
Firstly, when you choose to use the adoptable storage feature, all apps that couldn't be transferred to the SD card when you had Lollipop, still can't be. Meaning your physical internal storage can still get full - I know this because GTA won't install.
Also, you can't choose to have photos and videos to be saved to the SD card if you choose to have adoptable storage - I also know this because my physical internal storage increased heavily after taking a HD video.
So, you can choose not to use adoptable storage and just have the SD card for photos and videos and music... but now if you do that, no apps whatsoever can be transferred to the SD card!
It's a stupid change and I wish I'd stayed on Lollipop - that way, all my photos would automatically save to the card and I could transfer apps that were allowed to be transferred to the memory card.
Is 32gb enough storage with whatever available space there's? I play one game but download quite a few apps. Pics I save on Google photos. Let me know how you all are making out with storage.
There is expandable storage with a microsd card, up to 128 gigs. Plenty of deals at this time for less than $30.
I don't remember exactly, but I think there's like 18-20GB of free space plus whatever you add via SD card? I've got ~15GB free and 30GB free on a 64GB SD card, so I'm doing fine for space.
It comes with a few preinstalled apps that are able to be deleted. I had around 21gb available after deleting the preinstalled and installing the apps I used. Roughly 20gb available.
I heard a micro SD can slow down the device? Is this true?
SD cards have slower read and write speeds than onboard device storage so they're better suited for to be used like a SSD+HDD is in a gaming PC. SSD for applications, games and stuff that needs to be fast HDD for mass storage of movies, music, some games, and whatever else.
Hello,
From time to time, I need to format large sdcards in Fat32 (200gb, 400gb...) to use them with different small electronic devices.
These devices can only format SD cards up to 64gb but work well with larger Fat32 preformatted SD cards.
Until now, I have been using a Windows 10 computer to format the SD cards in Fat32.
I am trying to avoid computers (PCs and Macs) so I am looking for an only-Android solution to format large SD cards in Fat32.
I have a OTG SD card dongle to read/write external SD cards.
How can I use Android and its OTG capabilities to format large SD cards in Fat32.
I can't find the option neither in the Android settings, or any APP.
Is there a way to do so?
Thank you for your help.
