Yes, I'm aware that the Fascinate only "officially" supports up to 32GB cards, but is it possible that that was only stated because 64GB cards weren't available yet? If not, would a software update be able to make this work or a smart dev here on XDA? I really hate being limited to 32GB cards. When this comes out, I would love to use it but I'd hate to pay for something that doesn't work.
Given that I can't find any other microSDXC cards out there, and the one you linked to is showing that it's a Class 10 card, I'm going to say that it's not a legit product, even though it is a real company. Will it be supported, only time will tell, but I'd wait until microSDXC cards are readily available.
It's legit. A quick Google search would've told you that.

Class 10 MicroSDXC is definitely legit. There are a few cards out there.
Without being an expert on the phone's internals, I'd give it a qualified "no". Reason being that SDXC as a standard was in its infancy when the phone was released, and still a dream when the phone was initially designed (It takes about 6-9 months from prototype to release for these devices). To include the spec for SDXC in the Winter of 09-10 would have been foolhardy at best.
I would say hold off. Like imnuts said it may be a legit product. But being so new on the market why waste the money. As well I would wait until more major companies are making them so you know you have the reliability behind it, like Sandisk.
there is another post in the mytouch 3g forums talking about this as well.

It's not about reliability. It's the fact that the Fascinate most likely doesn't have the capability to read XC cards. They use a larger address table, and unless the device accounts for it, that can't be read by the phone.
If you plan to flash an EC09 ROM, like TSM's upcoming ROM, four 16GB cards beats one 64GB, even though they'd cost more (we still don't know why EC09 borks some sd cards, and according to TSM, their next ROM will also carry that risk, since it's based on EC09).
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
Resurecting this thread
any news on this? my Zune is about to kick the bucket and i'd like to use my old GSI as my dedicated PMP to save battery on my GNex. but coming from an 80GB Zune, 32GB isn't going to cut it. 64GB would obviously be less but i could work with it. what I don't want to do is buy one and have it not work. so i was wondering if anyone has tried this already or could try it if they happen to have both lying around or maybe suggest a ROM or something that could enable support, etc, etc. i know it's probably a long shot but thanks in advance for any help.
whoever said if your gonna flash an ec09 rom get a better sdcard...listen to him. Save yourself some trouble and get a class 10 card if your into flashing especially if you like to flash new stuff alot.
I'm currently using a Sandisk 64GB Class 10 (UHS-1) card without issues in my Fascinate. Running AOKP Jelly Bean Milestone 1. No idea if it works on stock.
The only thing that you need to do to get it to accept the card is to format it to FAT32. exFAT will not work. In windows you will have to use a third-party partition program since windows won't allow you to format the card with FAT32.
I've filled the card to 45GB with no problems so far. If I run into any issues later I'll make sure to come back and let you all know.

I'm looking to get a bigger sd card for my xv6800. i want to get a 8gb card to load up on music. 2 questions (pardon me if they have already been discussed, please provide links):
1) will dcd's 3.1.2 rom support the sdhc 8gb cards w/o any upgrades?
2) anybody know what read/write speed our phone can put out? that class card can I most fully utilize?
-randy
The capacity that the phone can support has little to do with the rom and more to do with the capability's built into the phones hardware. The HTC 6800 is fully capable of using SDHC cards, regardless of rom.
As for the speed, get the fastest one you feel like, SD is a spec, and as long as you use an SD card on an SD spec device, it should be able to utilize it.
I can't see of many ways you would see a big difference though by buying a faster microSD, usually the faster cards are only used by cameras when pushing large photos into memory quickly. There is very little you will use with the phone that should need any major speed from an MicroSD.
So go to Meritline or something, get an 8GB card, and enjoy it.
Sort of right but,,,

The 6800 stock 2.0.09 ROM would see all of a 2 gig, but only 3.6 gig of the new 8gig until I updated to the DCD ROM. But my friend has the Samsung and when we did the same patches I used on my 6800 to make the 8gig work with the old ROM his totally failed to see the card at all, so I figure the slot hardware was not able to make use of the sdhd driver. So I think that you are right that the hardware must support it, and the 6800 does, but the ROM must also have the drivers for it, which DCD's do.

Newegg.com is another.
so the new 3.x.x dcd roms will see a full microSDHC 8GB ?
if so, that's great news. (FAT32 i assume).
I've been sticking around with my 1GB, but if this is true, I'll have to get one
So I know that many of these questions could be answered through some googling, but in general I trust the people here more than on other sites. I recently bought a G1 and rooted it and put on the latest stable cyanogen mod, etc. just to make sure I could do it, but now I want to invest in a bigger/better sd card than the 1GB it ships with so...
What are the advantages to getting a class 6 card? Are there any roms that won't run right without it?
Is there any reason to get a 16GB card as opposed to an 8GB? (or a 4GB for that matter)
(I know this one is very much a matter of opinion) What's your preferred brand?
Thanks for any answers to any of the questions!

the advantages of gettig a class 6 is SPEED
roms will run without a class 6, but to enjoy full speed, youd need a class 6.
welll i think 16gb is too much. 8gb is jsut fine. they are about 20 bucks or less on amazon. 4bg are like 10.
and a prefered brand is sandisk ofcoarse, or transcend.
thanks! i'll look around on amazon
I was just using the stock class 2 2gb that came with the phone, but I figured i'd try a class 6, managed to get a 4gb transcend from amazon for like, £6 including shipping, and the difference it makes is HUGE especially if you are thinking of taking any of the hero roms for a spin
Well worth getting imo. As for what size to get, it really depends on what you want on there, I found 4gb to be perfect for what I needed.

I think class 6 is a must. Many of the latest ROMs are maximizing the G1's potential and I wouldn't want to do anything that hold that back.
As for size, it's purely personal. I shelled out the big bucks for a 16GB because I have a ton of music on my phone. If not for that I'd go with an 8GB since a class 6 Transcend is only ~$20 which isn't a great deal more than the 4GB. With the 8GB you can ensure that you will not run out of space when you need it.
Hi all,
I have the 10.1 2014 tab pro and I want to get a new SD card. I know from my brief reading through these forums that not all SD cards will work and I dont know enough to really understand what is what (like what does "SDHC Tf Class 10" mean?). If anyone knows what it is that I need to look for before buying one so that it will work fine with my tablet please post here.
ps I am using these primarily to store books and documents, not videos or games or anything that really takes a massive workload or speed requirement.
pps Im not sure if this matters, but I am running stock unrooted
TIA
Most any newly purchased MicroSD card should do. What did you read won't work? Below Class 10 cards might not work for some high speed functions (like video), but I believe all should work for casual use like you describe.
SDHC versus SDXC mainly refers to the capacity of the card, which you are probably going to be looking at separately (in GB) anyway, so it really doesn't matter. Basically, the original SD standard (also called SDSC) was limited to 2 (4?) GB. SDHC increased the capacity up to 32 GB, and anything higher than that is SDXC by definition. There are some other minor differences, but probably nothing you really need to worry much about.
Class (8, 10, etc.) refers to the read/write speed; but you may also see a UHS speed classification (U1, U3) also. Even though you are not talking about high speed demand tasks, I'd still tend toward Class 10 or U1 cards. Just in case you change your mind about what you want to save to the card; and many cards meet Class 10 or U1, anyway. For the few cards that you can find with lower speed class, you might save $10, so its probably not even worth it to consider lower speed class cards.
The following Wiki articles goes into a lot more detail about the specs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
Out of all this, I'd be more worried about brand, or getting a counterfeit product. Some cheap or off-brand cards seem to fail more frequently than the big names. Folks all have their favorites, and may argue that you are just paying more for the brand. But I've bought several Sandisk cards, and never had any issues (and heard similar from other users on XDA).
I'd also stick to a reputable seller (Newegg, Amazon, etc.) as places like eBay are awash with counterfeit SD cards. Its so easy to relabel a card as a higher capacity (i. e. take a 32 GB card and label it as 128 GB, etc.) and even spoof the device to read it as the "fake" capacity, than charge much more $$$.
I am using one of these on my TabPRO:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-MicroSDHC-Memory-without-adapter/dp/B00AYC6V2U
Works fine on all my Android devices.
And to really leverage it outside of Google Apps and pre-installed items you need to root and enable write to the SD card, unfortunately. (Unless I'm missing something.)
Thanks, I really appreciate that info on what all those terms mean. However, right now I am using a 32gb Sandisk ultra, and my data keeps getting corrupted, apps cant find it, showing up empty on every file explorer I try.... Therefore I thought since Sandisk is legit (I bought it at costco so its real Sandisk) I figured there must be some issue with the type of card.

I had similar issues with a genuine SanDisk card in my S3 (couldn't access it in recovery either), just showed a bunch random characters instead of file names etc), swapped it to a different brand (I got a genuine Sammy one because it was a bargain at the time) and that solved the problem....
There are two features in galaxy phones that make me a return upgrade customer; removable battery and SD card support. If the next note does away with either, I will seriously rethink about upgrading! Sprint never sells the biggest capacity available for the phone. Judging by their previous behavior, they'll probably offer a 32gb device at the max. Even with a note 3 and 64gb of combined storage, I find myself often offloading content on the phone to external hard drives. Even when I crossed the line, back in the iPhone 4s days, and spent over $800 to get the biggest ram available model, directly through apple, I got rid of it about two months later because I hated the way apple did things. There is no such thing as a Samsung retail store to buy the biggest model anymore, as far as I know. 32gb, to me, is nothing. 64 is better but still too restrictive for me. If Samsung follows this strategy, then I predict this will be the beginning of their ending. Maybe I'm too old fashioned?! I don't care if SD cards are slower than built in storage! I'm willing to pay more for SD card availability! Samsung, you better not do the same thing with the notes!!!

I truly hope not, I was planning on getting the Note 5 later this year and if it has no removable battery or SD card I may leave Samsung completely.
This is crazy, what are Samsung doing?
I guess like most here I have stuck with Samsung because of the removable battery and Micro SD slot. Why are they trying to follow other manufacturers?
Sandisk have now developed a 200GB Micro SD card, so why do this? With smartphones becoming more powerful and cable of playing and recording Ultra HD, this is crazy. We are already installing more apps and downloading more than ever due to 4G, I just cannot understand their thinking.
If the Note 5 follows the S6, then my Note 3 will most likely be the last Samsung phone that I will own.

Have a great day!
Hello everyone, I've just realized I have no SD card on my 32GB D855 with stock Lollipop 5.0, rooted ant twrp recovery (even though today I've done a backup with Nandroid it said it had saved it on my SD ?).
I've read somewhere that there are compatibility issues with these new smartphones, so I'll just ask here before spending money on something that might not work
Another question: is getting a >32GB card worth it? I have still 10GB on my phone memory and I don't store films or stuff like that, but I have started modding the phone so maybe I'd better get something with more storage than I think I would need atm.
I should also mention that I live in Italy so some models I've seen in other threads might be too expensive (Kingston, Samsung and SanDisk are the most common ones I could get here). I wouldn't go over €40, but if you say 32GB is more than enough I'll happily save that money for something else.
I have a 64gb Samsung in mine. Got it from Amazon
32 gb seen enough for you. You end up with a 64 Gb device.
I always buy Sandisk.
