A google search says it comes with one, but I don't see it. I see the sd card slot, (used the special key for access), but do not see the micro sd card slot. However, I do see 2 other small holes similar to the sim card slot. Could these be it? Don't want to try it as it may reset the phone I just spent 3 hours to set up.
EDIT: To answer my own question it is in the same slide out holder as the sim is. UGH lol.

Okay guys I'm completely lost here when this device first came out, there was a lot of talk about an sd card slot am I missing something or is there an internal sd card?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Yes, there is an internal sd card which utilises the internal memory. If you root your device and install the Tiamat kernel you can now also have an external sd card
Where does the external SD card go?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
In the slot on the top edge of the device. There is a little pop out drawer which can take a sim card for the 3g/4g version, but also takes the sd card (micro sd that is).
Lol well consider me a self proclaimed [email protected] I've opened that up a dozen times and never noticed the SD card, probably should have referred to the manual first too

Hi Mr. [email protected] LOL. You aren't the first don't worry, and who ever reads manuals anyway.
lol well if it makes you feel any better, I accidentally discovered it when I was searching for the "On" button. I felt like a real idiot when I eventually found this big obvious power button on the back.
I purposely give people my Xoom and say "turn it on." Usually takes a good 30 seconds or so.
when you got your device did you not see the lil removable slot and if you did and removed it, did you not see the fake little sdcard?

lol gotta love the fake plastic pieces thats quality material right there bo.
I just got a notification on my galaxy s3 saying "Sd card blank or unsuported files.." if I open the notification it says are you sure you want to format sd card. I'm guessing the sd card just died. Is there anyway i can take my files off or are they gone. Any help soon would be appreciated.

Sounds like it's toast. Do you have an adapter you can plug it into your computer with? Try that, that would be your only way if it's still salvage-able. Thats what mine did when it crashed.
Do you think me rooting the phone caused it to crash

Probably not. Cards crash out of nowhere. Coulda been a defective card. How old is it? What are the other specs? Manufacturer, etc...

Yeah its from my droid x so 2 years, but it's pretty funny how it crashes one day after i root my phone. I haven't installed a ROM yet or unlocked the bootloader though.

Thats about how long my card from my X lasted, a little over 2 years... I think that's just their shelf life. I'd had mine in my S3 as soon as I got it and had it rooted and ROM'd a few times without a prob. Then one day it just didn't work.
Thanks for the help also are there any brand SD cards you would recommend 16 or 32 gb

I've always bought SanDisk myself. Read the reviews of each specific card tho, even SanDisk has had some crappy ones.
Had been frustrating with my new Sandisk Ultra 32g till one day I was about to send my S3 in to demand for replacement, I did a final test of the card on other S3 & phones - & it had the same problem - SO IT WAS THE CARD....
Called Sandisk Distributor & they said it is a known problem between S3 & several SD brands but Sandisk has resolved the issue with the new batch of cards that has just arrived in Dec 2012.
Changed the card one-for-one & plugged it in immediately - Problem solved. Card remains usable again....
I have a 32GB Galaxy S3
For some reason when I go to Settings>Storage
Under Device memory>Total Space 16.00GB(My external SD shows up as having 32GB)
If I plug my phone into my laptop I see two drives Phone(~12GB) SD card (32GB)
I've tried going to mounts and storage in cwm and formatting system, data, cache and sd card. I have also tried different roms
Is it possible that my phone is mislabeled and I received a 16GB by mistake.
Anyone no what I'm doing wrong
I have read on here somewhere that a few people did get mislabeled s3's that said they were 32gb and were actually 16gb. May want to take it into a store and see what they say.

I guess that's the only explanation that makes sense. Barring any other bright ideas, I guess I'll return to stock and do an exchange. Really sucks as JB roms just started rolling a few days ago and I finally got my phone running perfectly.

Ya definitely but paying for a 32GB one and getting a 16 is not cool. That is a big deference, I definitely feel you on it being a bad time cause these JB roms are awesome. But one day shouldn't be too bad, plus they will have some better updated Verizon's by then. Good luck man that sucks for sure.
Yeah, you have a 16gb. 16gb are really 12gb "4gb ROM" so you should go asap to a store

just stick a 64gb sd card in the external slot and have vzw credit you the difference. im not sure why most folks want 32gb of internal anyway. i prefer to keep my stuff on ext that way if i need to wipe internal, i dont have to move anything.

:good:
The only other reason would be resale value and/or sellability... but probably still wouldn't make economical sense.
I made the mistake of having most of my stuff on the phone memory (sold my extSD card with my last phone) and it got wiped when my phone soft bricked and required an ODIN.
Now I have a class 10 64Gb SD card from BB ($49) and it's great.
It is worth to note that I had to format as Fat32 to get CWM to read it in recovery mode. Now ALL my data and backups are on the extSD card!!!

Here's an update
I went to Verizon this morning and presented my problem to the Tech. She is baffled. She proceeds to convene a veritable round table of management, techs and sales people. After some tense moments of deliberation, they offer me a 16GB Micro-SD card(note I believe they only carry class 6).
It takes all my composure not to fall to the ground in a seizure of laughter.
Now even if I didn't have a 64GB class 10, how would replacing the missing internal memory(high quality memory), with low quality class6 external memory even close to equivelant.
After noting my reaction, they proceed to offer a full replacement. Needless to say, I chose the latter

So I bought this 32gb class 10 micro SD off amazon.. And it is cheap.. I'm on budget so it had to be.. Anyway, I transfer music to it and once I get like 10 albums on it has a fit... The first few albums I put on work fine, the rest start and skip.. It still registers as being fully downloaded to the SD.. Anyway, as well as that, when I restart the phone, all the albums that don't work properly get deleted magically, and I have like 5 albums.. Is this because I'm using Gmtp on Ubuntu to transfer files, or is the SD not really 32gb? Wtf?!

If something looks too cheap to be legit, then it probably is. Have a search for SD Card Testing software - you'll probably find that your card is actually a 2 or 4 Gig card but they've 'spoofed' the chip to look bigger.

Not sure if you followed the first link - it's a very useful piece of software to check the card and then demand a refund from the vendor.
wow!!have u been refunded!
Anyone getting this error? SD Card removed unexpectedly?
I put the External SD Card I used in my Galaxy S3 for 2 years into new Xperia Z3 and within 10 minutes I was getting this error.
Removed card and formatted it. Put card back in and within a couple of minutes the same error?
Unsure what to do at this stage. I will try another card and see how that goes but I never had a single issue with that SD Card in the GS3 for 2 years.
It's a SanDisk SD Card. 32GB.
UBIQUE
Are you sure it is inserted all the way in? It has to sort of click into place.

I'm sure!!
I've put another card in since the OP. Different brand (Transcend). That seems to be working OK.
Possibly just an issue with the SanDisk but as I said it dos work perfectly in my older GS3

With a name like G1032 I suspect British Army and with your avatar I suspect Royal Artillery (RA)
same issue but resolved by changed to a new samsung evo sdcard.
i believe my previous card is good but only not compatible
I've had similar issues on low end phones, but not high end ones. Could be a software bug in 4.4.4 since I have seen this happen on a few phones. Then again, could be SD Card corrupt issues and you may want to get it replaced.
Same here. Has happened 2x in a week.

Ah.
No not RA. Just random numbers I picked a couple of years ago!!
Found a resolution to this.
Did two things, but don't know which one solved it.
Reformatted card to exFat and also stuck a small thin label to the back of the card to increase overall thickness of the card to make certain it stayed in place. 14 or so hours now without issue.
