SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 6 Memory Card with SD Adapter - Retail Packaging
No more switching files because my 32GB card is full!
Does our phone support 64GB modules? I thought 32GB was the max.

It Does. There are a handful (so far) of android phones that will - after reformatting the card. Look it up! The G2x happens to be one of them. I know this because I have been running this card for the last 2 days without a glitch.
Here are some pictures. You lose some memory in the reformatting.
Whoa! you loose about 20GB? that's not worth it eh?
what about that partition? that sounds like a good idea...but could the phone read more that 1 or 2 drives... 1 meaning Internal and 2 the SD...

You only loose 4GB there's 59.36GB Total space. He used the other ~35 GB.

ROFL. No it was meant to be 64 GB disk but its showing 59.xx hence 4.xx GB gone with the formatting. The available space is what left in his memory card after he filled it partially.
p.S: Still lmao.

You don't "lose" any space. That's how data works.
If you get a 320gb hd, you're only able to use about 95% of the total space.
Go to Google and ask why that happens, it explains it somewhere. Don't just jump to conclusions without first trying to solve/educate why some things are how they are.
Even on the back of some memory cards/hard drives it'll also tell you that you won't be able to use the entire space.

Computers see 1GB as 1024mb
Humans see 1GB as 1000mb
When they market their card as 64GB they do it the human version (64000mb)
When your computer sees it, it counts a GB as 1024mb, so obviously it wont end up being 64GB counting that way.
Hope that helps
You actually do get the full 64gb...if you paid attention enough. But it's a matter of the discrepancy between binary numbering and decimal numbering schemes used.
If you do a right click and hit "properties" of your hard drives (where you see the pie chart), and look under "capacity", you'll see a value that hits what you're looking for, if not close. Be it 64gb or 320gb.
My laptop drive is 120GB and shows: 119787220992 bytes (read, 119 billion, just a hair below 120), for a capacity of 111GB. You're not losing 9gb, it's just information being represented differently.
I didn't know we could use 64 GB cards... are there any drawbacks?

I switched from a 32GB Pny class 10 to this 64GB Sandisk card. I don't see any difference in performance or speed. I use my G2x to stream audio files to my bluetooth headphones all day at work. I have watched a full length movie, taken and watched other videos with my phone during this week. I dont see any drawbacks at all. It took a long time to transfer 29GB from my old card to the new, but this is understandable and normal
I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WTAJTO and my G2X refused to mount it. not even in recovery.

Not totally true. From what I've read, higher class SDs, such as class 10s, gain that additional speed at the cost of random access speed. Random access speed is the speed at which the card can load a particular file such as a song or photo.
That can potentially cause delays in playing music, among other things.

SD Card classes denote the minimum speed at which data is written to the SD Card. For example, you can transfer a file prom your PC to a class 4 SD Card at a minimum speed of 4 MB/s (24 Mbit/S) under optimum conditions.
The speed at which data is read from the SD Card is dependent on the device, so in effect, all classes of SD Cards are the same for your device unless substantial amount of data is being written onto the SD Card.

Hi I'm using a class 4. It seems great! I just got it. I traded out my old 16 for a new 16, they fill up fast.I like san disk they seem pretty good.
I always use that brand.I've never had trouble with that brand. Be cautious when purchasing because some brands can be a rip off .but it's a class 4. Works great for me. Hope this helps you out.

If the card is bad then it is bad. What else is there to say? Micro sd cards are only a $1 per GB. I'm sure you can find one on sale today at your local BestBuy, Walmart, or Radio Shack.
Indeed, if your card is bad there's nothing you can do. Doesn't have anything to do with your ROM or Tablet itself.
It may not be a bad card.Some devices see certain brand class 10 cards as class 1 and this causes problems. This was a big issue with some cannon cameras and camcorders about 3 years ago.
Also, only buy sd cards from trusted sources online. Many, many counterfeit cards sold online. Have even heard of people getting counterfeit cards on trusted sites like amazon. I only buy mine from b&h, newegg or locally from bestbuy.

As a mather of fact, I just read that the SanDisk CLass 10 cards have a common issue and that SanDisk even apologized for this issue already.
Exactly. C10 cards can indeed be problematic. I've been using c6 cards for the past 3 years becuase of these problems. I have no need for c10 cards. IMO c10's are really only good for things like cameras tha record at extremely high bitrates. For average use like in a phone or tablet, not really any reason to use a c10. But some people insist on getting every little bit of speed they can.

from my experience, 2GB sdcard usually is class 2 or class 4 sdcard. So it's much slower

not working for me, at&t variant. my id shows 179,0, not 179:XXX.
That might be a blessing. My first question was going to be how much of a performance hit did you take? It would be nice to have the option though.
Curious what the performance hit is too.
the reason why it failed was cuz card is "too slow". using that sandisk 200gb card. i have a samsung 64gb pro + card in my g4, and apparently this also works for that too. tried it and success.
At least there is apparently still a safeguard to prevent most of the people crippling their phone with cheap SD cards. I hope that when Samsung adds this officially, it will limit it to at least UHS 1 U3 cards.
The whole phone memory will be only as fast as the SD inside

It won't get that fast reads since it is limited to UHS-I so up to 90/MB reads/writes. Internal memory is in the 200 MB/s range so yes, it will be a huge downgrade if you use the adoptable storage.
I would like an answer for this: if I`m opening a file from sdcard (Samsung 32GB class10) and editi it, when I try to save it again, I can only do it on phone storage. Why? My sdcard it`s listed in storage like SD Card(7CD-1711)
Can someone explain, please, and tell me what to do so I will be able to save my files to sd card?
The Modaco method doesn`t work for my SM-G935F S7 Edge
Thanks in advance
I have been using this function with my 128gb Sandisk from day one.
I have moved most large apps to the SD card. In addition, I already have a part of my music collection on there as well. Have not noticed any slowdown whatsoever!

That's a screenshot of my G4.
And when I did that it showed 179,64. As it was a 64 gb card. I didn't have any real world slowness, but if u run A1 bench tool and see the read/write differences, they definitely exist.
Today I purchased a 64 GB Samsung Pro+ (Plus) micro sd card. It says it has up to: 95 MB/s read & 90 MB/s write. I benched it at 50/40 today. I manually set the adoptable storage following the procedure outlined in the MoDaco post. I used the info returned by the command that tells you what is available to use as adoptable. It worked, but is also returning a wrong storage total (I believe that the reason for this is because the SD card basically gets filled with a file that can be encrypted, so the total amount of storage that your SD card has gets added to the storage total both as it's actual space and as the file size, this is a guess but seams somewhat plausible). I am getting 73.64 GB used out of 128 GB. I have 32 internal and 64 on the sd but only 59.14. So max is 96 but it says 128 total and a lot used.
I just done this looks like it worked with a sandisk 200gb memory card but if i install a app now where will it install?. And also whats the option under storage more and migrate data for? do we need to do that?

90MB/s is nice when talking about sequential reads, but most microsd cards are going to be around 10x slower than UFS in small random reads/writes, which is where most of your phones performance is going to come from in terms of storage IO.
I think doing this stops downloading certain apps can someone try amazon sholppig or netflix says its not compatable with your device since i done this adoptable storage.

Hello I'm posting on behalf of my sister who is having issues with the SD being set as internal memory in Android Marshmallow. The device is a factory unlocked device and currently has a Class 10 16Gb Sanddisk micro-SD card.
We have also tried a slower Class 4 card (same capacity) and am still having issues. I think the phone has been dropped a few times but these issues are annoying my sister so I was wondering if we should do an RMA or is this behaviour common?
But what was the exact problem you/she faced?

What is the problem exactly?
And BTW, a Class 10 card is not fast enough for internal memory, a Class 4 will downright either frustrate you or flat out cause errors... If you're going to use it as internal (adopted) storage, you need a quality, brand name card with a minimum UHS1 rating, but a UHS3 card is preferred.
The device is saying that the SD card cannot be found randomly and due to this deletes apps / stuff stored on internal storage.
And a UHS 1 is equal to a class 10 card

No, just a class 10 card is not equal to a modern UHS1 card, not even close... The minimum speeds are similar, but in real life the read, and more importantly write, speeds are 4-8 times that of just a class 10 rating, especially for extended periods of read or write. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3221163 Trust me, in real world especially when used for internal memory the difference is quite noticeable.
But back to the problem... Assuming you have tried clearing the cache partition in recovery, and possibly a factory reset, Most of the time this issue of random disconnection goes back to one of two things, a poor quality microSD card or poor connection of the phones card reader. The first one is easy to test, pickup a Samsung EVO+, SanDisk Extreme, Lexar 633x, or similar high quality card and test, if it still fails then there isn't anything you can do about except contact Moto customer service for repair.
