So anyone using a 32gb card in their gtab? I saw a thread about a 16gb class 10 from fry for a good deal, but seriously, a class 10? I'd be happy with a 32 class 4/6. I don't see the need for class 10 yet, but was wonderin what brand 32gb you guys using out there?
Links to where you bought would be great

Anyone one of these will work... I know... I have tried all 3

I thought the limit was 16GB. Now I need to pick up a 32!
32 Gig
I am a newbie and I am confused. I thought the listed memory limit was
32GB, which meant 16 internal and 16 external---so is the 32GB limit for the external, which means 16 internal and 32 external?

Yes until a bigger SD card comes out
wonder if there's a size limit for USB memory. I have 32gb soldered in place internally. Hope I don't run into trouble in the future when I bump that up to 64gb or even 128gb
Lets see you make a 32GB card work in an IPAD2.
Micro SDcard - What goes on it?
I'm sure this is a "stupid" question from a newbie...
Last week I installed VEGAn 5.1.1 to the internal SDcard successfully using the instructions (thank you), because at the time I didn't have a micro SDcard. Now I do.
Should I re-install everything (CWM and VEGAn) to the SDcard or leave the card available for something else?
If I leave the installations on the internal SDcard, what will the micro SDcard be used for?
Thanks for your patience!
I bought a class 2 32gb Kingston on ebay for $43. It worked fine for me.
External card erasures
Has anybody had any problems losing data on the external card? I'm installing some movies on a 16G external card, and I've lost the data several times now.
It appears to lose the data when I mount/unmount the internal card for PC access (i.e. when I cable to my computer for file transfer). It seems something in the mount/unmount of the internal card corrupts the external card. I suppose a workaround would be to always remove the external card before cabling, but I shouldn't have to do that, should I?
I'm running VEGAn B5.1 if it matters.

Yes, it is a known problem. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895340
I put all of my music onto the SD card, as well as copying my backups there. (I use titanium backup, which makes a copy into the /sdcard directory, and then I copy it to the external card manually)
I have loaded a bunch of apps on my machine, and am no where near using up the internal memory, so I keep all the apps there. The one thing I am not doing right now is connecting to my work exchange server. I get a lot of email attachments from that channel, so I may use the external card as storage for email attachments, but I do not really need to do that right now.

USB, probably not. I don't know for sure, but probably the limitation will be FAT32. I'm not aware of gTab has NTFS modules, so that's probably going to be the limit for USB, or perhaps there is a 48bit addressing built into the hardware/kernel, then approx 137GB is a limit. Maybe somebody could try to hook up a harddrive into USB and see. But as for the SD card, there is an SD spec.
SD max limit = 4GB
SDHC max limit = 32GB
SDXC max limit = 2TB
generally speaking while there is a 4GB SD card, the implementation of 4GB SD card is spotty at best and some require you to have certain format to work, otherwise the card sometime fail to read/write. So, you won't see much of it, 2GB SD usually be the norm. As far as SDXC goes, it's fairly new, some SDHC controller do support it, but many don't. The pin for all of them are the same so they are backward compatible. I would generally avoid choosing random 4GB SD or 32GB SDHC. Do your research extensively on those card otherwise they may not work w/ your device.

16 internal 32 external minimum 64gb best IT says that in the manual on line. Right now 64gbSDHC are not being made. The manufactures have reserved that for SDHX. I rooted mine to ClocWork and TNT lite added a class 10 32gb SDHC. Have also formatted a Seagate 500GB GO Flex HDD usb 2.0 to Fat 32 496 GB and I load my Movies that are converted to mpeg 3 so I can carry it to work on slow days. I did all this because the stock rom/root kept dropping files and losing apps. I attached a full size media keyboard from Dell that has 2 Usb ports and it works fine also. Mouse did not. It is all carried in a case with a keyboard I got from Amazon. I just LOVE IT.

Actually, that is a decent price for 32GB. Average retail is upwards of $60.
I have a new SabDisk 16gb MicroSD HC card that orders from ebay 16usd, but my prime can't mount external storage?
I try to mount the microsd card setting> Storage> Mount external Storage
it shows "Preparing external storage" on the status bar.
your card is too slow, you need a class 10.
that is not true, I have a class 4 and it doors everything I could want it to. try formatting it in a computer ntfs instead of fat 32. that was what I had to do.
Correct. You absolutely do not need a class 10. A class 10 is over kill. For pure storage purposes a class 2 is fine.
Definitely check it out on your pc and make sure there is nothing wrong with it. Format it if you need to, etc.
Please for the love of God, stay away from Ebay!!
A lot of the memory cards there are fake, and either don't work or have a false capacity.
Go to a real store, spend the extra money and get yourself a reliable Kingston card. Or at the very least, use an online shop that can be trusted like newegg, tigerdirect etc.

Put your microSD card in a laptop/desktop and format it. Just do a quick FAT32 format and place it back into your Prime. If that doesn't work, then you might have a faulty microSD card.

^^ This isn't true, any class microSD card should work.
If your card won't work in the TF Prime I would try using it in another device and see if it works. If it doesn't work in another device chances are you got scammed. eBay is full of counterfeit SD cards.
You are usually better off buyign yoru SD card form a place like NewEgg, Amazon or even your local Walmart/Target.

^ yep. Any class should work. The card is probably a typical ebay fake.
Ideally, for Android a class 4 would be best. Just make sure you get a reliable one.

I have a microUSB to microSD / SD card converter that I just purchased for like $10. I tested a 64GB microSD card in it and it work just fine as USB storage. Now I'm wondering if a 128GB SD card would work.
Has anybody tried a 128 SD card as a USB storage device in a SGS3? Is the phone recognizing this storage dependent upon the external SD card converter / reader or the phone itself? I'd try myseld but I don't want to spend $150 only to find out that it doesn't work.

I think it will work....You mean a normal 128gb right?...It should work..No one thought a 64gb microXC would work on GB phones.and it did.
I believe the Galaxy S3 meets the hardware requirements for SDXC cards, so I would think it would work, but no guarantees.
I am curious to know, as I have a 32GB card now, so 128GB in a year or so will likely be my upgrade choice, if it works.
Remember that I'm talking about a 128 GB SD (NOT microSD) card used through a micro-USB to SD converter plugged in through the bottom of the phone. I'm NOT talking about a 128GB microSD through the back card slot, which doesn't yet exist.
I'm just thhinking this might be dependant upon the converter's ability to read a 128GB sd card, not so much the phone's, but I'm not sure.

Ah I see.
I'm not sure, then.
I guess no one has tried this yet, nor knows if reading a 128 GB SD card is dependant on the converter itself or the phone's USB mas storage recognition.
Guess it's gonna be a #$150 experiment then,

in theory it should work, right? cause people are reporting reading hard drives (500G or so) by usb OTG with no problem
WOW

I didn't even know you could do that! So I'm guessing you are plugging the card reader in to the bottom charging port and are then able to copy files to and from it? That's the idea right? I mean it would be kind of silly to walk around with a card reader dangling from the bottom of the phone

I have this plugged in:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MJZOMW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A24Y22QERZZ9SS
...which is WAY cool. Like I said, a 64GB microSD card works fine, both diretly in the microSD slot on the adapter or in an SD card adapter plugged into the SD card slot. I have not tried an SD card over 32GB in the SD slot directly, because I don't have one.
So i stumbled across getting a free 64gb class 10 sd card for my note 2 and was wondering what benefits does having a sd card have besides more storage and what more that its class 10? Im a noob to the whole sd cards with phones as i usually never buy sd cards but with this one being free i said sure why not. I would also like to know if there are any performance enhancements with having this sd card now? I appreciate the help ahead of time
Why wouldnt you want more storage lol...i have like 11gb of music on my sd card you can put movies on it anything..and there are ways to swap your internal memory and sdcard so you could theoretically have 64gb of internal memory...i gota 32gb card if ya wanna trade hahah
hey guys sorry if this question has been asked before but i know the g2mini sd card is expandable with 32 gigs of memory. I have seen some you tube videos of people getting phones to read cards with a greater capacity. My question is if i buy a 128 gig sd card will it work on my phone or will it only work partially on my phone? So will i be able to access all 128 gigs or will i only be able to access 32 gigs of it? for the record it would be a class 10 card.

well, officially the phone supports only 32GB sd cards, which are originally formated in NTFS. any bigger card withth NTFS will not work at all. however, if you format a bigger card to FAT32 (older), you can use it just fine, with only a few drawbacks (i don't know the exact numbers but the file size is somehow restricted, i think to 4GB or so, and also the number of items in root folder is limited). i cannot guarantee that it works with any sd card, but my 64GB kingston micro sd xc class 10 runns without any issues, with all 64000MB usable.

Samsung evo mini sd working too, I tested FAT32. No need more than 4gb in 1 file.
