16 gig pny class 4 micro sd. It has 14.8 available what happened to the 2.2 gig left? and i noticed it gives you 3 options - NTFS, Fat (default) and exFAT.For mobile devices would it be good to use exfat or default fat?
Fat 32 is usually recommended.

thanks i was looking into that exfat system.It looks promising but not yet ready for android.
You mean 1.2 LOL sorry. Formatting.

Anyone try using exfat on their microsdhc and android evo 3d phone? any updates on this?
Thanks!
The issue ur facing by "missing" space is because manufacturers measure space differently than the computer. One is the decimal measure and the other is binary. Read more here. Formating has nothing to do with it

I havent got a 32 GB micro sd (16 GB is fine for me) but i believe that Sandisk works perfectly. Got it from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683292.
(I used search, next time it may be a biiit more convenient if you did that first, no offense )
would 32gb microsd card class 4 work fine with our device
no one using 32gb micro sd card??
32 gb for the LG p500? Why? For music or videos?
I've got a 8gb class 4, it's enough for me.

The phone supports upto 32 GB. It should work. I've seen many devices running with their maximum capacity.
I don't test it, but it must work. The LG is ready for 32 gb micro SD.

It should work perfectly fine. Mine is 16 gb sandisk class 4 and it flies with 1gb ext4 partition. Don't see the difference in speed from 2gb to 8gb and then to 16gb. Everything works fine. I would suggest sandisk class 4.

It works very good. (sorry for my bad english)
IMHO,32gb micro sd class 10 will be good for our device......

Double than class 4, which in my view and in my phone is running very well.
Go to ebay.in to find out more. And buy from menorycardsindia. Its the name of the best dealer.
I had bought mine for rs.1200 16gb sandisk class 4 about 2-3 months back.

Well, i will be buying LG OO + 8 GB class 10 card. But i think, that 32 GB card shouldn!t be a problem. There is no HW barrier that should restrict of using these-sized cards.
Hello All,
I apologize if there was a thread about this in the past I tried searching but wasn't sure how to exactly word it. I was wondering about sd cards and partitions, I believe that the max size the atrix 4g is 32gb internal. What I was wondering is it possible to take a 64gig card partition it into 2 32gb partitions and have the phone be able to read those separately?
Thanks
Most android devices support 64gb microsd. Feel free to try it, btw is not the internal. Internal is 16gb for all of the device needs, os, webtop, etc and the external, the one you are mentioning.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Well I read like the default specs and it said it supports up to 32gb external but that was written I think before 64gb cards. I'm running cm7 so that may help too. Would just hate to spend the money if I put it in and it only recognizes 32 lol.

This makes me crazy. Why do they claim 8gb when there is not even 5gb usable? Be honest, say 5gb so we are able to gauge what we are getting. At least when you get an SD card almost all of it is there.
You forgot 2 gb internal storage for apps..yes its not full 8 gb ..its 7 point something but it never is.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
It is the same reason for your hdd on your pc. The drive does have 8gb total but some of it is used up by the system's OS. Your usable space is actually 5.5gb with 1.3gb being used for apps. Any storafe medium does this. If you notoce on sd cards it may say 16gb but the user only has access to 14 gb
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
-sigh- because there really is 8gb of memory and they would be lying if they said 5gb. Think about it; all tech companies list the memory as the total amount of internal memory, not just available memory. If Samsung had a guilty conscience and said the galaxy player had 5gb, how could you compare to the iPod, that still said 8gb? There really is 8gb, but only 5gb available. Life tends to not be perfect.

System storage is for apps..some aps can be instaled on sd (usb) but you can move and them to system..be happy that SGP has a lot of system memory..i had phone with just 200mb of system memory and 8 gb card and that was nightmare.

but what is the different if i have 2 GB of system storage and 5 GB of usb storage?i prefer that it will be 7 GB of storage that apps will be installed because right now when i install an app it takes place in the system storage and the usb storage i think that it just make things more complicated.

Most apps can not be instaled on usb storage so you want be able to install them at all with out it ..also almost all aps have some librarys and they all go to system storage..also dalvic cache is on system storage..and every app that is on usb storage you can move it to system..just go to menage aplications in settings ..click on app and click on move to device

Just buy a 64gb MicroSD and swap the internal with the external, then you'll have 64gb for apps to be installed on.
Simple fix.

Format it from your phone not with a computer
It can't be formatted when its not being recognized...even my ps3 isn't recognizing it...when I go into recovery and try to do anything I get an error in mounting card..which makes me think I have to change the cards partition from whatever it is now to fat32
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
did you tried another kernel to see if it has some problems
for me on few kernels on ics and gb the sd card made me few problems and my sd card is with 32 gb class 4 and is new so i tried some other kernels to see if it works and worked i had this problem sometimes on gb with djnoxd's kernel
Supposedly 32gb class 10 is supported. My 8gb class 6 works well. If your PC can't recognize it you may have a bad sd

after flashing the new kernel don't forget to format sd card in settings
Well let's hope the phone would recognize the card while in cwm recovery...it can't format a card if it doesn't detect it

look on your sd card for a "c" letter with 4 in middle and look if you see the symbol
Yep its a class 4

Even with the 8gb card..I sometimes had problems...I'd boot in to recovery and try to flash a zip and that error of not being able to mount would be there so I'd have to take the battery out and the card,blow the card and slot place than reboot into recovery and then it would work

Its annoying, this phone supposedly supports up to 32gb...it should be as easy as popping out the old one to replace a better one
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
maybe your slot card is damaged
If that were the case,than I wouldn't be able to use the 8gb card either...I think the 16gb card comes pre formatted on an exFAT partition and in order for any android phone to recognize it. It needs to be fat32 format...I also have problems detecting the 16gb card with the xmb of ps3...ps3 only recognizes fat32....if all of this is the case I need a good partitioning windows program. .this 16gb card is a brand new card
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Well...
I really think that the problem is with your sd card slot, because if you are saying that you had problems with the 8gb and the 16gb, also im telling you this because on my phone i tried a lot of sd cards, and i didn't have any trouble...
Also, my brand new sd card 16gb class 4, i didn't have to format it, i just put it on the phone, it was already formated fat32
