[Q] Microsd Cards - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Looking to pop a 64Gb San Disk Class 10 in the GS3 LTE, but people are saying there may be issues with Samsung mobiles.
Does this sound right? I have been running the same 32Gb Kingston that was previously in the GS2 without a hitch, although now starting to get some music playback issues (hence the new card). Don't want to shell out for the 64Gb if its not really going to run well.
And next question, if I do get it, exFAT or FAT32?
Cheers team!

My 64 gig SanDisk runs perfectly on the i9300, formatted in fat32

I read somewhere that you should use exfat for 64G cards. Don't know if it works well ; do you really need that space ?

exFAT and FAT32 are just file systems. You will not get any noticeable performance boost between exFAT and FAT32. The difference between them is that exFAT can assign much larger address spaces, and as such can store much larger files.
In fact, for smaller files FAT32 might even be quicker to be honest, due to the smaller records needed to be fetched when finding where a specific file is located.

I have a lot of music and I'm tired of moving files about, and I want to take a lot of movies/pictures of my kids. And yes I do back up a lot. So thats why I want a 64Gb card.

Here are my CrystalDiskMark results for the SanDisk 64GB card by the way, they were taken on my MacBook Air with its built in reader which is PCIe based so there shouldn't be much of a bottleneck on actual performance.

I have exactly this microSD in my S3 LTE and it is working fine. It reads both (exFAT and FAT32) Filesystems. exFat can store larger files if you need it.
If you have rooted and want to use easy UMS to get it connected with a drive letter to your PC, keep in mind that you might need a driver to read the exFAT on your PC. WinXP does not support exFAT by default and afaik this is also true for MAC.

Mac OS X reads (and writes of course) exFAT since 10.6.8, only pre-Win7 (perhaps vista also has support I don't know), older OS X and most Linux distributions released in 2012 (and prior of course) will require updating or installation of new software in order to read exFAT.

I have the 32 GB Sandisk red and grey card. After 2-3 months it now starts to disconect it selfe while phone is locked.. resulting in total freezes leading to soft reset to get it running. That sd seems to be extra bad!?

Thanks for Info. I just have an old Linux and as you mentioned that does not support exFAT.

don't know what distro you're on but, fuse-exfat should be something you look into.

My 64GB Sandisk is working just fine. SD cards sometimes are just potluck when it comes to receiving a dud. In the past I have had around 3 dud SD cards for my camera. Just send it back and ask for a new one. =)

Ive bought a 32 GB and also a 64gb from Sandisk with 5 Year Warranty (microsSDHC with Adapter its called)
They are fast and I dont have any Problems since 2 Month with it.

exFAT is better than FAT32 in that you can have individual files that are larger than 4GB, however although most modern operating systems can read and write to an exFAT partition, you won't be able to read/write from it in an AOSP/AOKP-based ROM. exFAT drivers on Android are proprietary and licensed from Microsoft, and they're not included in non-Samsung ROMs.
If you format to FAT32 though, you should be fine. I doubt you'll have individual files larger than 4GB anyways.

64gb card
Thank you for your post, I bought the sandisk 64gb card, formated it to fat32 and it works perfectly [in fact its a bit zippier than my previously full 32 gb card which i believe was class 4]. The card was a bit pricey, but well worth it. Thanks again.
i just bought one of these and it works fine in cwm, but is not detected in android, ive tried stock 2.3.4 and leaked ics, neither wants to know of the cards existence.
Solved:, poor formatting on my part.

When I purchased a 64GB Micro SD Card for my phone just before Christmas, it wouldn't work at all - Even when formatted to FAT32.
Its now used in an SD card adapter for my girlfriends Nintendo 3DS... So there's no chance I'm getting that back.
Can you provide the model of the card you purchased? I've got two 32GB cards for my Play currently, Both have exactly the same apps cloned between them but different caches for different games - So I have to swap over every time i want to play a game on the other card lol. xD (Most of the are ROMs mind you...)
Buying know thanks for the tip.
Fat32 can be formatted up to 2tb. That is its maximum
Sent from my SO-01D using xda premium
OK... I just got this card and transferred all the data from my 32GB micoSD to the new 64GB microSDXC... and the weird thing is that it is taking up more space on the SDXC than the SD... so I'm guessing that the problem is that it isn't formatted to FAT32... so how do I do that? Using Win7Pro, I don't see an option to format it to FAT32... any ideas?
I formatted this card with the phone but it is also possible to format it with a computer using third party format tools.
And the problem with the data which takes more space from your 64GB card than it took from your 32GB card could be related to the clustersize. Maybe the system chose a bigger size in order to have less effort to deal with the size of the card. However if there are files which are below this clustersize they are always as big as the clustersize. So the data needs more space.
Thanks for the tip I really gotta try this 64gb would practically hold my life lol

My phone has an annoying glitch where I move or delete files on the SD card, and the SD card shows that there's new space after deletion, but when I try to put in a new file, there's no space!
Every couple of months I have to transfer the files I wanna keep to my PC, then format the card to get the lost capacity back. I first noticed it when I tried putting some anime episodes on the card when it showed 2GB free, but then it said the card was full!
The aforementioned glitch only happens when I delete/move files through Android or when the storage is mounted to USB. Never happens when the card is plugged into Windows and being manipulated directly through an adapter instead of the phone.
If you guys transfer a lot of stuff on those cards, I'd suggest getting one of these
I have a red one and it's super handy when you wanna transfer, format etc. Plus it's got a keychain so if you have school, you can keep it on hand.
By using that instead I've avoided the storage issues.

In SM Megamall. That was on sale - I bought it @ 1,800.00 pesos (about $ 42)
i have this
but i think it is not real class 10 it working like class 8 or class 6
Very nice.
Btw, is this 32GB microsd card class 10 a fake one in your opinion?
It is written on it but since there's no brand nor package, we can't verify...
EDIT: Err, in fact there's a brand, my bad...
You should ask more photos from the vendor to verify...
Dont know if its fake or not. cost $45(php1900) but one thing is for sure, its stable, i no longer have gallery thumbnail problems and faster sd media scanning unlike my previous class4 one.

I found a very cheap sd card on ebay.
$19.00 for a 32GB.
Looked fake and rubbish at first, but suprisingly i've been using it for almost 5 months with no problems.
Can't post links and images yet, sorry.
You guys think a class 10 16gb sdcard is enough?
Sent from my Paranoid Jelly Phone
Sizewise 16 gb is just fine for me. But depends pon torre media usage. I shot a lot of 720p videos , have few movies and audio albums. At any time at least 2 nandroid backups. IGo gps ( 400 mb maps).
And still have nearly 2 gb free.
Price difference nowadays is hardly worth considering. It is cheap
If i was buying now it would be the same do i want to spend 18-20 euro for 16 class 10, or 30-35 for 32.
why should I need 32 GB on my phone !!! I really don't get it I think 16 GB is even way more storage and I will never be able to run it out
We Xperia u users happy with 6GB :'(

Pankaja, you are correct. My 32GB Transcend SDCard is now dead. The files saved in the SDCard became permanent. I cannot save more files or delete files already saved. Tried formatting when phone is on or in CWM Recovery. Also tried formatting with card reader. Still no success.
I'm now back to my Sandisk 2GB provided when I bought my phone.
CAUTION! To all other users. I suggest do not buy or use Trancend SDCard for our phone. This is based on actual experience.
Well, i'm getting a 16 gb class 10 transcend card soon

If you don't plan to transfer content to that card with a usb-3 connection and a reader connected directly to the computer, it doesn't have sense to buy it.
The note it is limited to about 15mb transfer rate, so you will be throwing money out of the window.

Do you have a reference for that info? I plan to pickup a note 2 upon US release and was debating on waiting for the new Samsung high speed micro sd cards or going with Sandisk Ultra.
Daniel
You really won't see much of a difference between the Gold and Ultra cards. The important aspect of those cards are the read speeds and it's absolutely overboard for a phone. Save yourself some money and just get the Ultra w/30mb read and you'll be set. No need for anything faster.

Yeah, just spend that money on the 64GB version of the Note II. I bet the flash chips they use in the note are just as fast, without the bottleneck of MicroSD connections.

I agree that the internal memory would be superior. The problem is that it is very unlikely 32GB and 64GB models will be available upon US release or even within a few months.

agreed. The Ultra card (30mb/sec) is the absolute fastest card you will need for a phone. You won't even take full advantage of its speed but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the Gold.
The only thing that will take advantage of write speeds when using the phone is how fast you take pictures and transfer files to the card from a computer. THAT'S IT. And technically even with that you will be limited to around the same speeds as the average USB 2.0 speed which is normally between 10mb-25mb/sec.
Don't waste your money.
The problem is many people just see whats stated on the package, and don't realize that to obtain the stated speed, you need the unit to support UHS I, and at present no phones support it, so the max speed for the card is read 25mb/s and write 24mb/s, which is the standard for micro sdhc and micro sdxc noted as the class 2, 4, 6 and 10.
Got the 64gb uhs I class 10 works fine write 11MB read 38MB second.
Where can I get a good deal on the Ultra 32 or 64. I know they can be much cheaper online instead of in stores.

Wherever you buy from make sure its an authorized dealer, if not no warranty and you are likely to get a counterfeit which won't have the specified performance. I like buying from amazon, but make sure amazon.com is the seller.

64gb sd support?

Hello,
I saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909697 and http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/14/xperia-play-supports-64gb-microsd-memory-cards/
and I wonder if the Z will support 64gb sd cards. Overall it looks like a great phone but with only 16gb internal, I would never even consider it without 64gb support. Thoughts?
BTW, I searched all the forums and it doesn't look like its been talked about much.
http://youtu.be/wziwEPi8ArI?t=11m11s
64GB microSD cards ship formatted with exFAT by default. If I recall right, exFAT support requires the handset maker to acquire a licence from Microsoft and modify their Android ROM accordingly. Since this is an early ROM version, it's possible that exFAT support has not been added in yet.

Yes, it supports 64GB micro SD cards so long as they are FAT32 formatted.

All Android phones support this. With FAT32 you're always fine. Only downside is that it's limited to 4GB files.

Now do you think Xperia Z won't support 64GB sd cards?
It's only 57gb because I partitioned it for sd-ext support.
Thanks guys for clearing this up. Any amount should be supported then, if it's in FAT32. Happy to hear this is working on the zl.
Here's another one: since 4gig+ files are not supported on fat32, how about running EXT4? Anyone tried that on Sony phones? Guess it needs to be supported on kernel level, but custom kernels might provide support for this. Anyone wants to share some views on EXT4?
In android 2.3.x
Support up to 32GB sd card(Micro SD).But this android 2.3.x.Latest version maybe can support and 64+ gb
Maybe it'll have kernel support for NTFS and exFat. The Samsung Galaxy S3 and even the older S2 have it, so I'm hoping Sony includes it too. It's not really that big of a deal for manufacturers to add support for more formats, but some of them like HTC are very stubborn about it.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
ext4 support is by default supported on Sony phones since 2012 models already use ext4 as the default format on system partitions. So using ext4 for sdcard would be only tweaking the vold.fstab file to mount it properly.
ZL supports 64GB cards (specs from Sony), Z does not, only up to 32GB (also Sony specs).
I think it's best to wait until it is released and there will definitely be some people trying this.
I live in Belgium and I'd like to order the ZL but as far as I know now the ZL will not be available in Belgium.
I wait until release and if no ZL i will order the Z, for the moment I have a 32Gb card, I'll start of using this one and maybe in the future I'll have a look for a bigger card.
If it is not supported I also woder how they do it and maybe this can be avoided by installing a curstom rom one they become available.
On all my previous phones I installed cards bigger in size than officialy supported and up to now I never had any problem.

Unfortunately my ZL doesn't seem to support exFAT or NTFS. That could change before the release date, but as of right now no such luck.

The exFAT is a windows propriety driver. So unless sony get's a license from windows then you'll get exFat support.
The NTFS is not a block type filesystem and is really bad if you're using it as a mass storage. You'll likely end up destroying your sdcard if you use NTFS for a long time so it's not enabled by default. But it would be easy to enable when devs get their hands on the kernel source.

Bass is quite good. The volume can also be turned up very loud, it seems to be much louder than my Nexus 4 or GS3.

Thanks very much for the reply, here is hoping the Z is also the same. I cannot wait.
I think kernel might be able to support it, if I'm correct,
Unfortunately I cannot discuss unreleased products and previously posted content must be removed.

[Q] what's the biggest micro sd card available for moto g 2014?

Hi! I was just wondering this, because I have a Kingston 8 GB class 10 and my moto xt1064 won’t detect it (tried with kk and lollipop also). So what's the biggest micro sd card available for moto g 2014 that actually works (that u have tested?)
thanks!

Hello,I have tried class 10 32GB sandisk micro SD on my XT1068 and it works great on the device
I have a 16GB sandisk class 10 micro sd and it works on kk,
it supports till 32 GB
this is a quote form motorola owners forum
Moto G 2nd Gen supports SDHC cards up to 32GB. When inserting an SDHC card, and if the card is good and formatted, the device will display “preparing SD card” and the SD card available storage will be viewable in storage settings. Moto G 2nd Gen natively supports SDHC (FAT32) formatted SD cards. Larger cards will need to be reformatted.

32GB samsung and sandisk class 10 micro sd´s working on KitKat, also a 64 gb sandisk by a friend of mine has been detected.
I have a class 10 32Gb sd-card. Works fine. Only downside in my humble opinion is the way KitKat behaves with an sd-card. You can't just copy files on it and move them where erver you like. Every app gets it's own space apparantly. Never had this issue before, because on my previous device I used a 'patched' version of Cyanogenmod 11.
Now I don't even have root anymore.... But I'll get used to it!
64Gb, class 10 card is working fine with my moto
@sipek please, which brand? picture/something!
As far as I know, even 128gb cards are supported, as long as you format them as FAT32 instead of exFAT.
I haven't tested this though.

I am using a sandisk 32 gig card right now with no issues. I have it partitioned with 6 gigs as ext3 and the rest for storage (for link2sd)
I had a 64 gig card that was running fine on my xt1063, but was having other issues with it...sadly, I took it out and had it in the cupholder in my car and the guys at the car wash vacuumed it up when I took my car in to have it washed.
...64 gig works fine, just leave it in the phone.
You can use a 128GB micro SD even if motorolla tells you it oficially supports up to 32.
It supports up to 32 because micro SD cards of 32 and lower size, are formated in exFat, bigger micro SD cards come formatted in Fat32.
Downloading software on windows to format the SD to exFat will make it work in your device. If you are on Mac you can use Disk Tool and it will work well.
does micro sdhc card supports moto g 2014
I'm new to this forum
I have sandisk sdhc 16gb card class10 will it support moto g because on internet its showing that its not compatible
128GB
I don't know what the biggest size possible is but I can confirm that I have been using an 128GB micro SD card for the past few months without any issues. 128GB is probably the highest you can get away with at the moment without impacting the performance of the phone or spending prohibitively.
