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

Saw this card on Newegg today. Pretty cheap for a Class 10 16GB card and reviewers state it meets Class 10 standards, and that it appears to be a rebranded Samsung card, so it is a quality product.
Android only supports Class 6, meaning this card should be plenty quick, and will utilize full Class 10 potential during file transfers over USB.

Wintec 16gb CL10
Just got the Wintec 16gb CL10 from Newegg, put it in my Sprint Hero to format and as soon as it finish saying setting SD card the screen locked up. removed battery/ installed and saw installed apps icons were gone in its places gear icon. Installed original 8gb and app icons were back but apps came up with FC. removed each app and reinstalled and they work fine now. I'm afraid to put the 16gb back in, it seems fine in my laptop. I have no idea whats wrong!
I got one of these around Christmas. Formatted, partitioned and transferred my stuff. I thought all was well until I had to restore a nandroid and it bootlooped. I put my old 8G Sandisk back in and haven't tried again. So my experience was it worked about a week. I guess it's a write/read issue. I had trouble with recovery mounting the card to even see my backups. I had read reviews of spotty quality and I guess I had the bad luck of the draw.
hmmm ok then I guess i'll pass on this one. I want to get one that'll last so i can transfer it to a new phone when i upgrade.
on htc website, it says microSD 2.0 compatable, & i know some phones can only support so much extra storage, ie: some say microSD up to 16gb, so maybe the hero doesnt support high capasity cards.
anybody got a conformation on how big a microsd card we can go, that wont cause issues.
i was looking @ this card in the OP, but now im double thinking.

32GB class 6,a class 10 card will run at class 6 speeds when mounted in the phone.When unmounted and transferring files from your computer to phone or the opposite.

If you mean the 32gb your gonna have to search cuz I've seen very few. Don't remember what brand,most that are 32 gb I've seen are class2. I have a class 10 8gb here and it runs slower in my phone than my class 6 does.Sorry I can't give you more info.My class 10 is a Patriot
I bought the wintech 16 gig card back in january and 15 days later I woke up and my phone said the sd card was not formatted. Both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 only saw the card as 1 gig but neither could format it nor create new partition tables. I lost all the data but luckily had a semi recent backup on my computer. RMA'ed it back to newegg and got a 16 gig class 6 card from a more reliable manufacturer.

Its been a week since Ive been desperately searching with no luck!!!!!!!
I just baought a kingston 32gb class 6 micro sdhc but when ever i put it in my hd2 it just freezes up and as soon as I remove the card it works fine again.At first i though that it was a fake so I:
1)performed multiple tests,
2)reformated a 1000 times,
3)even putting 20gb of data just to make sure.
Turns out that it is authentic and it works perfectly on my girlfriend's htc BalckStone it also worked when I installed NAND (which i later removed due to insufficient memory).Ive been searching for weeks, I think its a windows mobile issue, any tips??
HD2 freezing with microsd
I have the exact same problem.
HD2 + 32Gb Kingston micro SD card (bought from ebay)
Freezes on card insertion. Unfreezes when card is removed.
Found any solution?
Do a google search for SD Formatter.
Try reformatting using that program.
Also, when you're reformatting, don't use the phone, use an external card reader or adapter.

If you ahve bought a 32GB SD card from ebay there is a very high probability that you have bought a FAKE 32 gb card.
If it was cheap its 100% a fake card.
These fake card are actually 1/2/4/8/16GB card but have been modded to report 32GB, some of them you can use but data will get corrupted as soon as you get near the real capacity. Some will just not work from the offset.
Stick your card into your pc via reader/adapter and run it through a drive scanning software and see if its got any bad sectors you will soon know if its fake or not.
The same issue with my 16gb microsdhc. On my friends Samsung Galaxy S it works, on microsd carder it works. But not on my HD2.
I had scanned my microsd with few scanners all of them shown that my SD is in perfect condition.
What about formating? What program should I use? And what formating options should be(file system and etc.)

This is an issue that has yet to be solved, unfortunately I cant get any real answer even after searching for weeks. My only solution now is just to buy a 16gb and use the 32gb for some other occasion.

Oh, yes it is. At least mostly true, if not even absolutely true.
I've been using a class 2 32 GB Sandisk micro SDHC card for a year now on my HD, and it will go into my Leo as soon as I get it. Absolutely no problem at all, of course.
It's also the one to use on the HD7 to get the maximum available storage memory.
It was quite expensive when I bought it, but it never bothered me, neither did the Sandisk Compact Flash cards I'm using with my goo old Canon EOS 350D camera.
Some Kingston memory card seem to have compatibility issues with some devices (I'm thinking about EeePCs, too, as it's a very frequently reported problem), but it may be essentially related to higher speeds, as those cards drain too much current. The symptoms are exactly the same : the device will sometimes boot when mains powered, but will crash as soon as you disconnect the mains plug, and won't boot at all from battery power.
The HD2 (and HD7, as it's exactly the same hardware) is known for not loving too much current consuming memory cards, so you'd be wise to stick to class 2 only, as it's supposed to be what HTC recommends.
If you still want to use class 4 or 6 cards... Then don't complain if it doesn't work.
And no, it is not "absolutely true". While the HD2 may not r/w any faster no matter the card, any class will work just fine.

Easy. I always first format my cards using a card adapter and a windows machine.
I know for a fact that class 6 microsdhc 32GBs work. It's what I have in my phone now. I also use a 32gb class 2.
I'm using a Kingston card. I've formatted, the computer sees a mass storage device with 30.2 gb available. However it locks the phone up in the boot sequence. Any Ideas?

What program did you use to format it?
One recommended app, outside of the built-in windows app, is SD Formatter:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
(Link leads to the SD Association, of which I have no affiliation.)
If you have a card adapter, format it there instead of while inside the phone. Good luck
You suggestion is right.
Correctly formatting the card first generally solves most of the problems.
However, most high class micro SDHC cards will probably drain too much current from the phone. You have to find a really serious brand, and a really good one.
I've tried the posted formatting tool. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? After an hour of formatting, nothing, same problem.
I put the card in a 3 year old blackberry curve I had before the HD2, and no problem. I then put an 8gb class 6 card I had in that same blackberry into my HD2 and it worked fine.
I'm trying not to have to return this card because I don't want to wait another week and a half for back shipping etc.. Please give me some hope
I purchased a SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC memory card on Amazon.com, formatted directly on my Razr M, and it works perfectly!!! Now my Razr M has more total memory than my friend's I-phone 5 which he spent $400 for (64GB model). Plus when a larger GB microSD card is available, I can format it and expand my memory even more!!
This is correct - I posted the same in the Moto forums a few weeks ago, but apparently the RAZR M cannot utilize a higher than Class 6 card for the addition R/W speeds. I got a Class 10 but just letting people know it isn't necessary.
Literally ordered that exact one off Amazon right when I read this post lol thank you!

I love it when an iPhone user tries to explain why it's a bad thing to have sd card support. They usually end up stumbling all over their own words and thoughts, never really coming to a coherent or reasonable explanation.

How much did you pay for the microSD card?
So in other words we can go up to 64GB SD card ?
But speed wise we ca go whatever but it can only utilized the speed of the Class 6 Cards ?

Reason i am asking they have multiple speeds of the Class 6
Older Sandisk Class 6 are slower than Newer ones and same is true for Samsungs Cards.
Also does it read U1 standard Cards ?

I tried this with my Verizon Razr M, Android version 4.1.1. After I install the card, the Mount SD Card command is available, but after I choose it, I get a message that says Blank SD Card and the Unmount and Erase (Format) commands aren't available. I've tried with two phones and two cards, which makes it less likely that the results are due to a defective card.
Have the people who have succeeded had phones that were unlocked or rooted or are there some other steps needed to make the 64 gb MicroSDXC work? I've read suggestions to reformat the card from a PC to FAT, but others that say the card should only be formatted using the phone. Thanks.

This poster says 32gb is max for the HD? Without long term problems. The two phones should behave the same.
Just got the 64GB myself. Writes at 6Mbps, but reads at 25Mbps. Pretty snazzy so far. Going to try filling it up and letting it read the card, since that's what made my Droid X always crap out on higher capacity cards, lol.
Filled the card, no problems like my old Droid X had. Not bad doubling my phone storage for $35

Ok. I took back the Samy to Frys, found a Plextor (sandisk) at Bestbuy, the slow write, half price version. It performs as fast on our M. It is class 10 & the card has the identical markings of the $99 Sandisk.
USE custom recovery or safestrap to format from the xfat to default. You can use the "phone up" storage erase but the recovery works better for those on my sd swap: do formatting & copying while in recovery. Otherwise you have to reflash the swap.
I had problems getting windows or osx to format the full 64 gb.
I wonder if formatting only on the phone might be key to trouble free use?

Same here, I have 64GB UHS1 (SanDisk, had it for over a year), runs without problems.
Naturally indexing for new media databases is slow because of LOTS of data, but I hate media databases anyways and remove apps using them right away...
It's usually only the first run of such apps though.
Never experienced any hardware-related problems with my memory card

Has anyone tried anything larger than a 64GB card in their R1 HD? I just popped in a PNY Elite 64 UHS 1 card, seems decent enough speed wise, but was wondering if down the line I wanted to go bigger if there would be sn issue?? I know officially BLU says 64GB, was just wandering if that was as high as they tested, or if a limitation of the Mediatek SoC?
I put in a PNY Elite 128gb card in mine. It formatted to 117gb however failed shortly after. I tried copying music from my internal storage to the external storage and it froze 2 albums in and stopped reading. I'm not sure if it was a dud card or if it has to do with some sort of limitations.
Here is a post of someone claiming to have a 200gb card working though. So there is hope!

I was going to pick up the 128 card while at Microcenter yesterday, but didn't want to chance it. So I figured ehh 64GB is plenty, then i started second guessing if I should have spent and extra 20$ for the UHS 3 samsung card, but figured with a budget phone would I be wasting $. The PNY Elite seems snappy enough, haven't noticed any noticeable slow down, other than 4 apps not liking being stored on SD
Actually I just got my new SD card from Amazon and I can confirm 128gb cards do in fact work. I must have gotten a DOA card.

I can confirm both a Samsung 128GB EVO Class 10 Micro SDXC Card
and a Patriot LX Series 200GB High Speed Micro SDXC Class 10 UHS-I
Both work in the BLU R1 HD 16GB 2GB Ram amazon variant after I removed ads and installed TWRP. (I would think it would work prior to this also but I never tried it prior).
The BLU device also lets you format the Micro SD card as "Shared internal memory" without any issues like other manufacturers and haven't had any issue installing movies on the Micro SD card for later viewing.
And Mircast works great on the BLU R1 HD also...just with the R1 HD supported 5GHZ wifi(but for the price I can deal)
Ok, I'm satisfied so far with performance of the PNY Elite 64GB (class 10 UHS1). I do notice write times are a bit slower when updating or installing apps, or doing TWRP backups. Thinking of ordering a UHS 3 card to see if it speeds anything up. It's not super crucial, it's still snappy, it's just one of those nagging what ifs -_-. If anybody has any experience with one of the faster SD cards let me know. Are there any read/write test apps where I can measure the actual throughput on the R1??
