[Q] 64gb sd card - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am thinking of getting a 64gb micro sd card (which I believe will work in the GS2), how easy is it to transfer the apps and content that are already on my 32gb card? I is it as easy as just copying the content from the current card to my pc then copy it back to the new 64gb card?

Also, yes. It should be as easy as copying the content from one card to another.

Goes on sale tomorrow on Amazon UK for £99.

The SanDisk 64GB microSDXC does work in the SGS2 -- I've been using it for about a month now. If you're transferring stuff from an old memory card, I'd recommend the following procedure.
Remove the old card from your SGS2 and put in the new 64GB card.
Power up the SGS2; it'll say something like "external SD card is damaged. Do you want to reformat?" Say yes, and let the SGS2 reformat the card from exFAT to FAT32.
Remove the 64GB card from the SGS2.
Mount both the old & new memory cards on a PC, and do the copy there. Use your PC's SD card slot or a USB reader.
Once everything's copied to the 64GB card, put it in your SGS2 and you're done.

Isnt only up to 48gb sd card supported on our S2?

A couple of people have tried the SanDisk microSDXC 64GB , and it appears to work fine , after a format in the phone , 48gb is just the official max.

[Q] Problem with micro sd 32gb with fat32

I have a 32gb sd card and formatted with my nook tablet. I've tried to put the videos and photos files (over 2gb) to my device. It can be appeared first time. But some of the files disappeared after I reboot the device or connect to pc. And also I can't download some of the exter download files (almost 200mb to 1gb) from apk. I want to know it's the problem of the format method (fat 32) or my card problem? Thanks!
is that the way to partition the sd? HOw to do for nook tablet? Thanks
please help........!!!!
You do know that FAT32 will not handle a file over 4GB.....
I would format the card in a card reader on your PC and not let the Tablet do that.
It doesn't appear that he is trying to load a single file of over 4GiB, but rather that the collection is of the sizes that he mentioned.
Will FAT32 not handle a 32GiB drive, with a bunch of files of just say 50~500MiB each? Because I remember not too long ago doing just that on my PC...
FAT32 Should read just fine....hmm ...perhaps reformat the card for.another format and see if that fixes the issue? If not, your tab could have a bug somewhere. Try a factory reset
I thought the NT could only handle 16gb expandable storage. The guy in the store told me it is a combined 16gig internal and external to achieve 32gig and a 32gig card would not work.

I am using a 32gb card in my Nook at the moment. It seems to recognize the entire 32gb just fine. Worth the <$40 it cost.
And to the OP, formatting my 32gb SD card was a b***h. I had to format it in win7 as just popping it in the Nook didn't work. I formatted as FAT32. I would suspect you may need to re-format the card with a PC as other posters have suggested.
I've been using a little free program from http://www.sdcard.org called SDformatter that works great for formatting SD cards.
By the way, some of my extra download files for the game displayed as 0b. And I can't delete.

That is the suggested formatter for the SD card in the Nook Tablet based on a thread buried deep here on XDA.

[Q] Help on How to Migrate from 2GB SD to 32GB SD needed?

Hi All,
I am picking up a 32GB Sandisk Mobile Ultra SDHC card for my Atrix and would like to know whether I can simply copy all the contents from my 2GB card and paste them in the 32GB card using xcopy perhaps?
What is the best way to ensure I can then use the full 32GB MicroSD instead of the 2GB whilst retaining the existing data?

Do exactly what you are thinking to do. Just copy the contents over to the new sdcard. I do that with our phones and never had any problems, although I do copy to the PC first as a precaution.

Transferring files from internal to external sdcard

I notice that I have been getting corrupted pictures. Has this happened to anyone else but me? Or is it the SdCard?
Is it a brand new micro sd card? what's the capacity? When I first inserted my brand new 32gb micro sd card it wasn't recognizing it. So I formatted mine via pc as fat32 and it didn't give me any issue after that. Try that and hopefully it works for you.

It was my first microsd card, 32 gb Gskill class 10. I formatted via SDformatter on PC.
Try to format the card on the phone itself. With my new 64gig card, I try to do so on my PC and gave me problems at first. After trying it on my phone it has worked flawlessly thus far.
Be sure to unmount the drive properly in Windows. SD cards can corrupt when you just unplug the phone without unmounting the drive first.
Alternately, on your phone you can switch to 'charge only', which does the same thing.

S3 and 64gb micro sd card

My Galaxy S3 and my Kingston 64gb class 10 microsd card have not been getting along. Very important files have been getting corrupted. Anyone got suggestions? At the moment, I'm formatting to fat32 and putting .nomedia file in my music/sound related folders, but some google results suggest that will be a waste of time since I might have gotten a bad/fake card.
EDIT: Errr... can't seem to format to FAT32
Use a card tester sounds like a fake .

google "h2testw.exe" for a good windows card tester.

[Q] Swapping Internal and External SD

Has anyone tried switching the internal and external sd cards in the fstab? If so, could I see your void.fstab?
I want to fully use the 64GB microSD card I just ordered. It hasn't arrived yet, so I can't test it myself right now...
