Storage issues: Sd Cards - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hey,
Can someone explain/clarify our phones storage to me.
It looks like we have 2 partitions on our phone...sortof ...
~8+GB of what it calls Phone storage, but is actually part of the phone storage.
And ~4GB of what it calls, Internal Storage...
BUT both are actually the phones storage?
This excludes any MicroSD card you may have put in the phone.
I have a SanDisk 64GB MicroSD Card... which so fare has been pretty useless on this phone...other than saving digital recordings...and photos (strangely the same photos are saved on the "Phone Storage" to although I have it marked for save to "Storage CArd")...
Can we move apps to our Micro Sd cards, like with the old WM phones?
Thanks for the clarification and help
BTW: I'm running the stock GB Rom

get the app apps2sd or link2sd

i dont think the vivid supports 64 gig micro sd card..i think the highest u can go is 32 gigs

Nope. Mine has had 64GB card for months (almost a year now, bought not long after purchasing the phone)...working fine, like a number of other people on here.
Saves pictures, attachments, music, etc.
Here's an old post on it, I know I started one way back when too so there are a few about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563079
Got a ScanDisk MicroSDHC...or HX something 64GB class 6 for ~30 at BestBuy...
I'll try the app given...can anyone answer the partition questions?
I know the operating system takes some 5GBs, but I don't have +6GB of apps so I can't figure out where my Rom is going.

Maximum storage card capacity

Hi,
I want to buy a micro SD : I have seen that the maximum storage for micro sd was of 16 GB.
Someone has already tested a 32 GB storage card?
If yes, Does it work correctly?
Thanks for your answer.
it's works i don't now how becouse i just test my friends card.
Sorry for my English
Maybe it's was on android 1.6 (max 16), but 2.1 should be supported with 32GB
well, i got my X8 only a week ago, it's my first smartphone.
seriously, what do you guys want to store with 32GB card?
i can't imagine what to store in such space, i figure one could make a portable toilet out of it and still got some more space.
Movies (avi, wmv, etc). HD photos from professional photocameras, hi fi music like wav. Download a lot of stuff with torrent client and else. 32 GB really need for me.

Question was not what I do with all that storage.
Is it possible to have 32GB card in X8 I think that it support up to 16GB ??
I couldn't tell you, because I've bought an 16GB card (class10).
With the price of a 32 GB microSD, I could not fool me.
I think that 32GB is more money then the Phone
You are able to mount 32GB card I've just checked it out but the results are horrible - 500 MB of freshly copied music on the card, and now it is showed as "damaged" on the notification bar. I wouldn't recommend it to you.

I think the X8 will also work extrem slow with a sd card of 16 or 32gb
And with 32Gb class10? The read/write speed is biggest?
I believe that is not a question of card's speed, but more of device's ability to comprehend such a huge space. Just like with enormous hard drives in older computers.
ok.. maybe this out of topic..
what brand of SD card with class 6 or 10??
n where to buy??
im just unable to find it in my country.
in my opinion, 32gb can be handle with very well if this SD card are good.
i mean good SDHC
i found it in my country, designed for camcorder and etc..
but price also different
i just want 8gb with class 10..
currently i have 8gb, no class
my quadrant almost same with droid x, so i think if i have good SD card i can overlap droid x.
where to buy???
32 gb for a phone is a lot of capacity
Im using 32gb sandisk class 2 memory card in my galaxy s initially when it was 2.1 it was slow. But now after 2.2 update its okay. Only startup and shut down process Will take long time. class doesn't matter on phone it matters only when data is to be transferred from pc to phone . Max transfer speed Will be 2mbps in class 2.

there's a lot of good brand to choose actually, personally i'm using transcend.
what city are you in? in Bandung, you can try BEC. i bought mine from kaskus though, it has almost everything we look for
class.. hmm IMO it's unnecessary to use such a high class card. class 6 (6MB/s) is sufficient enough, because android apps are usually not really big, only 10-12 MB at most so no need for such a large data transfer rate.
Has anyone had good success with the 32Gb card? I dont want to buy one if it's just gonna not work properly.
thanks
Won't work
Chances are, it wouldn't work.
The Xperia X8 currently only supports up to 16GB of memory. If you go higher than that you would experience problems. You might be able to make it work for a few minutes then it might not be able to read the mem card.
Hopefully, in future updates we could use 32GB cards.
I've searched around, no walk-arounds on this yet. If I were you, I'd stick with 16GB. That's a lot of storage!

Micro SD 32 gb for Android

Hi, does anyone know wich of the 32 gb Micro SD Ext supports four partitions.
Now I have a Sandisk 16 GB, which I easily can create a partition Ext 4, but it is too small for my HTC volume. (this is for my programs on the partition Ext 4 Andriod, I think that it's my internal memory). I had purschadan unknown brand (I think a Chinese) from 32 gb on E-bay, but I could not make a Ext 4 partition.
Any ideas of a brand ...
Thanks
Grtz Seki
brand shouldnt be a factor, sounds like you got a duff card is all
Nobody....
I have read up on this a long time ago 8 months now about cards like that if you still have time to return or complain then you should. they write on the cards saying 32gb but when you put it in a phone or pc I think it was said it says 32gb but only fills up way less or not even close so trying to partitioning it won't work. good luck I had a sandisk 16gb class 4 from radio shack and used it in my EVO 4g to ext partition to ext 4 and worked great never used to much memory tho not sure how much you plan to use

Dude, EVERY sd card you buy from ebay and seller is from China you are going to get a fake card. They may say 32GB but they are fake and in reality are 1,2,4 GB. They will even display as 32GB via windows but if you put it through a disc scanner it will start to get errors around teh real end of disc. You could even start to fill it up with movies etc and you will get error at point of card filling its real capacity.
I'm Using SanDisk..

Brand doesn't matter, ANY GENUINE card will do.
BTW: You've bought fake card.
BTW2: Accordingly to some tests (some of them available on xda) one of the best, stable cards are SanDisks up to (optimally) class 6. Kingston is much slower in random read tests and class 10 has much higher power consumption (and surprisingly is quite often slower than class 6 when used with HD2).

[Q] Upgrading to a newer SD card?

Hi,
In a week or two, I would like to upgrade my SD card. 2GB card that came with the phone is way too small to hold a larger amount of media, namely MP3s, videos, pictures, backups, and the like.
What I was thinking was to buy a card with at least 8GB of storage, and the highest class possible for the X8 to handle. Several questions arise from this.
Are there any compatibility issues regarding the class, size and type of SD card with our phone? Can I just buy a 32GB class 10 card and be happy with it, or is it better to buy a card with more conservative characteristics?
There is this Kingston card here on the market that's quite cheap, yet it claims to be class 10. What are your experiences with Kingston cards and are they any good?
Lastly, can someone point me to the best and safest way to move all data to a new card from the current one, while preserving all references and data in the process? Keep in mind I have a number of apps on my SD card.
First nackup all your apps via titanium backup.
Now copy the old sd cards content into the newer one.
Now restore the apps via titanium backup...

1.THERE'S NO LIMITS FOR SDCARD CLASS.
HIGHER SD CLASS MEANS HIGHER WRITE/READ SPEED. NO OTHER DIFFERENCE!
2. A 32GB MEMORY CARD ON OUR PHONE IS POSSIBLE ****BUT****
U CAN'T RUN MEMORY CARD IF U PUT MORE THAN 16 GIGABYTES DATA(MUSIC,APP,...) PHONE SAYS DAMAGED SDCARD, FORMAT !
BUY 32 GB AT UR OWN RISK!
*KINGSTON IS NOT PERFECT ,IT'S JUST GOOD, ALL SDCARDS MANUFACTURED IN CHINA HAVE THE SAME PERFORMANCE.(in my opinion Kingston is the best in Chinese market)
3.move via pc with data cable (or a card reader ,not recommended. )
Format new card with phone.
#my sd: PNY ©10 -16GB
read speed :max 36mbs
Write speed: max 8mbs
Owned about 3 months+using 200mb swap partition -no problems at all

Thanks for the tip. I ran the batch for "Backup all user apps". Suppose "Restore all apps with data" is the last step?
EDIT: Also, there's really a lot of junk on the card, now that I think of it. Is it just possible to move the Titanium backup onto the newer card, along with some other things (pictures, ROM backups, etc.), perform the restore, and forget about the rest? Will there be any side-effects?
No there wont be any side effect.
Android creasts the necessary folders itself..

[Q] No SD Card - Problem?

So I'm currently driving an OG EVO 4G, and was REALLY excited to get a class 10 32GB SD card for Christmas last year. My rationale in asking for it had been that it would go with me to my next phone.
LOVE the ONE in so many ways, but kind of balk at the fact that it doesn't have an SD card that can be swapped out.
So what do you ONE owners think? Is it an issue?
Well it depends on your storage needs. I used to have a 32gb card in my DHD, but it only had 8 GB internal storage and I used it with app2sdext. When I got my one x last year I never worried about storage (32gb model).
I had most of my music on there and still had more than 10gb free.
If you really really need 64gb of movies with you you can still use usb otg and an sd reader or an external hdd/usb sticks.
That's my 2c
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app
Yeah, I guess I'm less concerned about it from a capacity perspective, and more from a backup, and maybe switching between ROMs angle... I'm just used to being able to pop a chip and pop another one in if I need to, y'know? Safety net and all that rot.

64 GB memory card support?

I know Moto G3 officially supports only 32 GB memory card, but I have read that 64/128 GB cards also work with it. Anyone here using 64/128 GB card?
Duplicate thread, my bad.
Moderators please delete this thread...
Supports but Lags
32 works well, when using 64 gb the phones lag a lot.
But it detects the 64 gb one too, if that was your question.
I have no problems (yet) with my 64GB card. At what moment does it lag?

64/128 GB is impossible,

If you format the card to FAT32 before using it in your phone, 64/128GB will work.
thanx you very much
i need to post any thing to 10
I'm using a 64gb sandisk with FAT32 filesystem. no lag. read it just fine.
Well Guys it's all depends on Phone that what it accept or not like my phone is just supportable only 32Gb & some phone supports more than 64gb card.
im using a 200gb sdcard in my phone fine
I currently have a 64gb in my Moto G 2015, all you have to do is format the card to Fat32 and it will work in this phone.

A 200GB microSD card should have cost as much as the phone itself, perhaps even a few bucks more.

I popped a new Samsung 64GB in mine, a week or two ago, it popped up and said something like "Unable to read card, would you like to format it?" (not verbatim, but that was the gist of it), I said Yes and it's been fine since then... No lag either, but I am only using about 5gb worth of space so far, mostly all music.

Same here with another Samsung 64GB. Phone wouldn't mount it but allowed formatting. Formatted it and put 60.38 GB of music on it and it has been working fine ever since!

True, I do have around 19k songs on Play Music, but unfortunately my daily commute to work is via Underground, so no signal for at least 50 minutes each way... I was originally going to use a 128gb card as my regular go-to library is @ 112gb...

Old thread I know, but I just put a 64GB Sandisk Ultra (80mb/s) card in mine yesterday. No issues so far, but it was tricky to find a way to format in FAT32 as Windows Explorer in Windows 7 wouldn't permit it. I eventualy used fat32format, which worked perfectly.
