SDXC support? - Motorola Droid Bionic

I was wondering if this phone supports micro SDXC cards? it would be nice to pop in a 64GB card. I keep running out of space on a 32GB micro SDHC.

Not sure about that but...
What I do when I run out of space is find out what flashable zips I'm currently using and keep those. Then I put the rest of them onto my computer in case I need them later. No need to keep every single zip I've ever used on my SD card.
Also GoogleMusic saves a lot of space that would normally be taken up by all my music.

yeah i already use google music and backup .zip's on my PC... however i do a bit of downloading with my phone + usually keep tv shows/movies (720P) on it as i am away from home frequently and use my phone as my source of entertainment. i'm tempted to just go and buy one of those 64GB cards and try it out but if it doesn't work i'd hope the store will allow me to get a refund on the card.

Yes, it is supported.

The fact remains that the phone supports the SanDisk 64GB microSDXC card. Aside from the numerous anecdotes from users, PCMag has verified that the card is supported in the Bionic, GSII, Xperia Play, and OG Droid.

even if not supported you could create partition and get away

FYI:
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html

From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDHC_and_SDXC_compatibility_issues
"SDHC and SDXC compatibility issues
In the 3.0 specification, the electronic interface of SDHC and SDXC cards is the same. This means that SDHC hosts that have drivers that recognize the newly used capability bits, and have operating system software that understands the exFAT filesystem, are compatible with SDXC cards. The decision to label cards with a capacity greater than 32 GB as SDXC and to use a different filesystem is due solely to the limitations in creating larger filesystems in certain versions of Microsoft Windows.[citation needed] Other operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem.
SDHC and SDXC cards and hosts have these compatibility issues:
Existing SDHC hosts will only support the SDXC cards at up to UHS104 speeds.[45]
SDXC hosts are backward compatible with SD and SDHC memory cards.[62]
The operating systems that support SDXC, as of 2011, are: Linux (with a proprietary driver for the exFAT filesystem),[63] Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1+,[62] Windows XP SP2 or SP3 with KB955704,[64] Windows Server 2008 SP1+, Windows Server 2003 SP2 or SP3 with KB955704, Windows CE 6+, Mac OS X 10.6.5 or later.[65]"
Anyone tried this cheaper Kingmax card? The Sandisk card I'd guess has less room for problems, but it's a lot more money, and I only see them available from Sandisk directly without paying an additional $80 ($299 on Amazon).

Hardware Compatability to microSDXC

I been reading up a lil bit on this since the extended capacity sounds incredible, especially for HD2 users who have no real built in space.
and Wikipedia says SDHC compatible devices can use sdxc with UHS104 speeds, but not with the newer sd 4.0 specification.
Will the HD2 be capable of SD 4.0 with a firmware update or is this solely a hardware incompatability?
Hardware in HD2 will not accept it.
hello
Is there someone who really tested 64 or 128 GB SDXC, on HD2?

Well, unless installing WP 7.5 changes the hardware, that's bollox.
Does anyone know if a HD2 running WM6.5 supports 64GB microSDXC cards? As in has anyone tried it?
The HD2 can only handle up to a 32GB SD card. whether that would be SDXC or SDHC I'm pretty sure that wouldn't matter.

Good
Recognizes the HTC HD2 if micro sd 64 gb and I have a dual boot and I have not given me any problems
To be recognized only be formatted in FAT32
regards
I ordered a 64GB micro-SDXC card from amazon.co.uk a week ago for GBP45.39 (found on HotUkdeals). Arrived today (was listed as "usually despatched within 1 - 4 weeks"), h2testw confirms capacity, and works fine in my HD2 running WM6.5 (Energy ROM), which shows capacity as 60906MB.
I don't understand why so many jump in saying a 64gb card wouldn't work when they obviously haven't tried. i would assume that it work fine as long as its formatted fat32... Any android phone should accept 64gb cards as well. the only difference between sdhc & sdxc is the formatting Im pretty sure. sdxc is formatted exFat of something like that, but its easy enough to reformat anyway you'd like with a computer.

YES you absolutely can run a 64GB microSDXC in an HD2. At least I can verify that with WM6.5.5. I am using the SanDisk 64GB class 10 micro SDXC card in my HD2. The phone does read the full 64GB and can access it all. You do have to reformat it first as it is in exFAT which can't be read. It needs to be formatted in FAT32. The kicker with that if you try to format in your PC, MS has deemed that FAT32 is 32 GB max and if you use the inbuilt format in any version of Windows, it will only format it in exFAT or NTFS. I also tried using a program called SDFormatter but it would not allow me to format in FAT32 either. There is a way to do it from a DOS command but... I ended up using EaseUS Partion Master Home Edition, which is a free program. It worked a charm, and was very fast as well, Then I xxcopy'ed my SD card contents onto the new 64GB card and installed it in my phone. Both my WM 6.5.5 and my SD Android 2.2 are working perfectly, though the Android may be just a bit slower now and then. Both my 32GB and my 64GB are class 10s. I use XXcopy to keep a backup of my SD card on my computer, just in case. I update the backup every couple weeks or if I have updated anything significantly (which seems to be all the time with Android apps). I am running Core Cell Evo v4.1 and CoreDroid v.08. Here are the links to Partition Master http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm and XXcopy http://www.xxcopy.com/xcpydnld.htm
Here is a screenshot from my HD2 when it was booted into Android.
So very cool, and now my HD2 in both WM 6.5 and Android modes thanks you
128 GB ? OK, will be my next try, then ! :laugh:
I just received my SanDisk SDSDQUA-064G-U46A 64 GB micro SD XC card and been using it for three days now.
To make sure it will work flawlessly, just do the following :
- Use the phone formatting tool (it will format the card in FAT32)
- When restoring your data to the card, don't overwrite the "Application Data" folder nor the "EncFiltLog.menc" file that will have been put on the card root after formatting.
- Check it's Ok by launching an SD android ROM. If you can browse the memory card's contents, you win. Else, just try again from the beginning ! :laugh:
Anyway, both the HD2 and Windows Mobile are fully SD XC compatible, at least up to 64 GB (really NEED to test for 128 GB now ! ), so don't trust people saying they're not !
maybe you can try to partition the SD in multiple partitions of 32GB each... so you can easily use a fat32 file system.
just one question..do is possible to use a 64gb ntfs? Because my SanDisk 32gb class 10 uhs1 is formatted using NTFS and works really well, so I think you could be able to use a 64GB NTFS formatted
I don't think so.
Windows mobile doesn't recognize NTFS (should have been an add-on, if only developpers hadn't stopped producing for this platform), and Android is Linux (Debian) based, so would rather use ext2 / ext3, and of course, FAT and FAT32, that fortunately stay the common links between all worlds...
Edit : Wait, is your card really NTFS formatted ? Windows should automatically choose FAT32 when formatting up to these sizes. I hadn't heard of Windows Mobile being able to read it. It can't read an USB disk in NTFS from Cotulla or Zeno Sloim USB host driver, for instance.
I even tried to format EXFAT32 on my HD2, with no luck. So FAT 32 only, but din't lost room in the process of formatting 64 GB in FAT32. My 32 GB card was almost full, and I earned a full 32 GB storage, so there's no visible cluster waste.
It's even much faster than the old 32 GB card (I bought one of the first that came available form Sandisk), despite the larger volume and allocation tables.
Highly recommended upgrade for people lacking room... It's totally stable, fast and reliable.
Now your idea to format in 2 chunks is good too. Anyway, Windows Mobile could manage them, so why not ? Maybe to be tried when 128 GB cards will become available !
Can i ask you something? I want to buy a new micro sd for my HD2 EU 512 but i read there is compatibility promlem for UHS. Can i use this card "Sandisk 32GB Android Ultra Micro Class 10 SDSDQUA-032G-U46A" with HD2?

64GB Micro SDXC compatibility

Many of other recent devices have been confirmed that 64GB SDXC card work on those devices if it's been formatted by the phone. If other phones can work with SDXC, I'm sure our Thrill will work too.

That should make college fun.
Format it as exfat ut should allow over 4gb.

Not sure if you read any of the posts I linked but in order for the SDXC to work with the Thrill, you have to format to FAT32 not ExFAT. ExFAT will not work. files over 4GB will not work.
ExFAT (tried with 8GB that is stock) is not compatible with the LG Thrill on 10K (European) Firmaware.
I tried the Windows selected default of 32kb and also "Default Allocation Size", both leave the OS complaining of damaged SD card.
(Can't wait for a Cyanagen Mod, I remember reading in the footnotes of the most recent release LG Thrill was on the list of upcoming; hopefully this will add EXT3 support.)

64GB's on HD7!?

Is it possible? I recently bought an HD7 and am ready to upgrade my memory!
I read a thread about an HD2 running WP7 with a 64GB SDXC Class 6...
Just wondering if it's possible for our awesome phones
Any insight appreciated.
Below is pic from article I read couldn't locate the thread and I'm almost certain posting outside links is a frowned upon...
Cheers!
This would be great anyone else have any info on this
UPDATE: I've found two posts by dorianmuthig on this thread referring to the situation.. Still craving a definitive answer!
First of all - big thanks for the post - I'll actually be donating something to u if it works for me -> now, my main qestion is whether SDXCs are recognized - specifically 64GB sdxc. I'm planning on going all out and purchasing a 64GB SDxc MicroSD from Amazon (the Komputerbay 64GB Micro SDXC MicroSDXC Class 6). Theyre relatively new, definitely less than a year old - so I'm wondering whether that file format will cause performance or other issues against windows Phone 7.5 (mango). Thanks
No, SDXC cards are not supported. SDXC cards will simply not be recognized by the phone, the HTC SPL doesn't support them. You can only use microSD or microSDHC cards in the phones, and due to the fact that there are almost no microSDXC cards on the market as of yet, it can take quite a while for the first phones (not just Windows Phone 7 Series) to support them.

I was wondering if 32GB is the biggest you can put into the phone. Maybe I can put in a 64GB Micro SD.
Thoughts?
Yes, 32GB is the largest capacity SD card you can put inside the device, because that's the limit of the SDHC standard. Larger cards are SDXC cards and those aren't supported by the phone. If you put an SDXC card in the phone one of two things will happen: Either the card is smart and pretends to be an SDHC card (see Kingmax cards) capping itself at 32GB (might show as corrupted at first) or it simply won't be recognized. Many Android phones do work with the recently released SanDisk® Mobile Ultra™ microSDXC™ memory cards (http://sandisk.com/products/mobile1-memory-products/sandisk-ultra-microsdxc-card) and odds are that HTC Windows Phones with a recent SPL bootloader do recognize them properly (even though they are UHS-I cards), but I don't know if they'll pass the performance test, nor are they very cheap. If you want to try it, be my guest.
Available card models are: SDSDQY-064G-U46A (Europe) , SDSDQY-064G-A11A (Americas & Pacific)

Side-question - What 32GB MicroSD Card are you using? I might be stuck with 32 measly gigs! I really wanted to stick it to all the 64GB rockin' iphone users who laugh at WP7 [but, not my Galaxy Note though!]
Anyone can add the final word to this?
if it's possible, reliable without decreasing its performances, i'll look for sdxc soon!!
I think they take the card and reformat it fat32 so the phone can read 64g card.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Nothing more about that??
As far as i know there is no support for sdxc that is 64 gb card type..... As for the lower gb's are sdhc which is suported.....
Here some info from wiki might help you understand a little better.....
Host devices that comply with newer versions of the specification provide backward compatibility and accept older SD cards, but older host devices do not recognize newer cards.
A newer card may offer greater capacity than the host device can handle.
A newer card may use a file system the host device cannot navigate.
Use of an SDIO card requires the host device be designed for the input/output functions the card provides.
SDXC
The Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) format supports cards up to 2 TB (2048 GB), compared to a limit of 32 GB for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification.

well there are 2 methods:
using official rom to upgrade the card, i believe only certain cards are supported: [Tutorial] Upgrade your HTC HD7 memory to 32 GB
The other method is using a custom rom called xmod , which claims u can use any type of sdcard : [Tutorial] How to recover SDcard using HD7
It is better if u go with option 2 which is a more viable method, but it requires installing a custom rom.
I'm pretty sure the HD7 can take a 64GB card - the HD2 uses the same software as the HD7, and it supports 64GB SDXC.

Thank you!
It's been confirmed for a while now that the 5.12 bootloader supports 64gb SDXC cards.
I'm curious to know if the 5.11 will support it too...although I don't think it does.
I really wish my 3.1 bootloader would support it, or if someone could figure out how to hack the 5.12 bootloader to install XSPL, custom roms and it would support the 64gb SDXC card....That would be awesome!

can someone see if the droid 4 accept a 64gb MicroSDXC? Could someone try for me?

What it says on the tin.
I believe the specs say max 32, but I'd love if someone would try it and see if it can read it. I'm really curious, and I'd love to offload all music to my phone and have it all-in-one, as my ipod's DB corrupts every few weeks and it's a huge headache, and it can't intelligently export playlists and etc.
64GB SDXC card works
I purchased the SanDisk Mobile Ultra 64 GB microSD Extended Capacity (microSDXC) Class 6 - 30 MBps Read . The phone didn't recognize it when I put it in and asked me to format the card. Once I did that it works with no problem. I got 59.46GB usable space after that. The phone sees it as sdcard-ext. The SD tools app shows the speed at 6.1 MB/s write speed and 20.9 MB/s read speed.
Ditto, haven't done a speed test with it, but rocking 57 gigs of music on here with a couple gigs free.
Just picked one off of amazon, here goes nothing...
you guys are awesome, glad it can read. Buying one tomorrow.
Just got mine Saturday, works like a charm.
Tested and works for me as well. It did not recognize it as formatted when inserted initially, but once the phone formatted it, it is working fine.
So the question now is, why don't they spec it at 64 instead of 32 GB?

Anything over 32GB is SDXC.
Apparently from what I can garner, SDXC compatibility requires recognition of exFAT formatted cards. Android doesn't have exFAT support yet, and that probably is what's preventing them from branding the phone to support SDXC cards.
These are true 64gb chips, right? Not 32gb x2? I know there were some sd cards back in the day that read higher capacity but were basically two sd cards that interfaced as one.

64 GB does work but must be formatted natively first. "officially" they only support 32GB.
Sandisk class 6 64GB here, works perfect

From Wikipedia:
Compatibility with SDHC
SDXC host devices accept all previous families of SD memory cards.[26] Conversely, SDHC host devices will accept SDXC cards that follow Version 3.0, since the interface is identical,[3] but the following issues may affect usability:
SDXC cards are pre-formatted with Microsoft's proprietary and patented exFAT file system, which the host device might not support. Since Microsoft does not publish the specifications of exFAT and its use requires a non-free license, many alternative or older operating systems do not support exFAT for technical or legal reasons. The use of exFAT on some SDXC cards may render SDXC unsuitable as a universal exchange medium, as an SDXC card that uses exFAT would not be usable in all host devices. Since the FAT32 file system supports volumes up to the SDXC's maximum theoretical capacity of 2 TB as well, a user could reformat an SDXC card to use FAT32 for greater portability between computers (see below). FAT32-formatted SDXC cards can be used in a host device built for SDHC if the host device can handle 64 GB and larger volumes.
SDHC host devices will not test the new capability bits defined for SDXC 4.0 cards. It will therefore not be able to use the new features of SDXC, such as transfer speeds above UHS104 (104 MB/s).

What 64GB card are you using?

What make and model 64GB card are you using?
I just bought a 64GB SanDisk Class 10 that comes formatted exFAT (curse Microsoft with their damned proprietary filesystem and convincing gullible vendors to license it. I'm looking at you Sharp). I stuck it in the Atrix HD and formatted it when prompted at first boot with it in. It was mounted for a bit, but I couldn't write to it and whenever I launched Settings and selected Storage Settings would crash. I just re-partitioned and reformatted it FAT32 in my laptop using a combination of diskpart and Acronis DiskDirector 11 Home. At the moment I am waiting for my files from my old Lexar to be copied to it before I stick it in the Atrix HD again. Will suck if the HD has problems with this card. Can't complain about the brand as SanDisk is one of the inventors of SD cards, including MicroSD.
I'll report back what my experience is.
I thought the Atrix HD was only compatible with SDHC cards (thus 32 GB maximum capacity).
The cards that are 64 GB (and higher) are SDXC, and not compatible.
I got this one when it was on sell a week ago for $43.50 shipped.

Yeah, it isn't just the reviews; Motorola's specs state "Up to 32 GB microSD," but as was pointed out before what they really mean is MicroSDHC cards. However, as these are all extensions of the SD format one would hope that SDXC cards would work. I've seen a few other reports of people using 64GB cards with the HD w/o problems. I'm just curious as to what has been the experience of the people here as they are generally a good deal more tech savvy than on the other forums.
So far the only hiccup I've had is that it wouldn't format the card. Also twice I've tried to unmount and then remount the card, after which the phone thought the card had mounted, but it wouldn't use it. A reboot fixed this each time.

I formatted my card in my phone, put it in my pc and copied 33GB of mp3s, then copied the stuff from off of my old card 23GB, then some tv shows. I watched the tv shows from my phone, deleted mp3s and recorded a movie. I have yet to unmount and remount.
have you tried searching for this? I remember there being a topic about people using 64GB SD cards already in this forum
