Hey guys.
I know that 64GB micro SDXC Cards are no supportet by our X10.
But has someone here testet this ?
http://androidcommunity.com/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-working-on-multiple-android-devices-20110927/
Well, well, well...This would be an early christmas for me if it works. Have been forced to constantly streamline my music collection and dare I say with the new Xperia specs showing just 32GB internal storage and no micro SD card support, I sincerely hope Sony, that if it is true, it is a one off experiment. The average consumer hungers for more storage each time, fact.
Even the newer phones came out these few months only supports 32GB micro SD.
And by the way, I thought all Xperia phones are using micro SD?

Guys I' taking the plunge. If you see the youtube clip from the 1st post, all we need is to format it (probably with a SG SII) which should change the format to fat32 readable by our devices. If it should come to the worst I'll flog it on the SG II xda site or ebay.
Update 14/11/11 64GB micro SDXC Card works flawlessly with X10. Simply insert new card, phone will not recognise the format and will give message that card is damaged. Simply format (which is erase micro sd option on X10) and ENJOY!

Keep in mind, there might be a problem once you store files beyond the 32GiB limit of the SDHC standard. Weird things and corruption might occur.

Oh yes, it's important to test if it work with files over 32gb uage or it's not useful then to buy it too, any updates about it?

mhmm, thats because they created a new data format for SDXC and we're reformating to SDHC standard? I'll think i'll get a 64gb Card Not like the 128gb versions will come out soon, right ?

It's not about the reformat. It's lower than that.
When id comes to SDcard readers, micro or normal, there are basically two types:
Type 1:
Hardware/firmware-driven, that uses it's own hardware to manage the basic functions of the SD-card and presents is as an UMS device (USB Mass Storage)
The benefit from those readers are less utilisation of the main CPU followed by higher throughput.
The backside is the limited support of what standards it can use.
Type 2:
Software/"dumb" reader. It'll just provide a "physial" connection to the underlying USB-system, and presents it "as is": a SD-card flash memory.
In this "dumb" mode, the Operating system must provide all the routines in order to communicate properly with the attached SD-card.
The benefit with those are full range compatibility with future standards, but it depends on software, drivers and the main CPU, which might result in slightly lower speeds and "sluggishness" as the IO-operations increases.
However, if the OS and the SDHC/SDXC drivers in question is poorly optimised, the hit on the CPU can be drastically high whenever a read/write occurs.
So, which one is prefered then?
It's up to the manufacturers of the hardware and the operating system.
In our case here, Android can use both UMS devices, as well as generic/default SDHC and SDXC flash cards.
In my opinion, the type 2, "dumb" readers, are the "best" ones.
The only limitations of what cards these readers can use, is only limited by the operating system and the kernel modules/drivers provided.
And the "load" on the CPU as generally so small it's often neglectable, provided the drivers and OS is well optimised.
Which type the X10 smartphone uses I cannot tell.
I simply don't know, but it sounds promising, as there haven't been any "corrupted data" reports from the few who are using 64GiB cards...
... yet!
If the X10 smartphone does utilise the type 1 reader, the firmware/hardware based one, it might "kick back", as data stored beyond the 32 GiB limit of the readers limitation, might just "disappear into the void", never reporting any errors.
Users might notice this first when they try to access the previous stored files and finds out the content returned are just a stream of nulls. (null = digital void, nothing, nada, true zero, blank)
If and When this happens, only time can tell.
Someone has to try fill the card "to the brim", and copy back the content verifying everything is correct and proper.
Not just the filenames and filesizes, but also the content itself. (Checksum methods should suffice)
Just to +1 the above post. When the manufacturer states a maximum card size its not what the phone can mount but what it can reliably use. There's a good chance that you'll have corruption if you continue to use it.
Anyone got any news on this?
Does it truly work with all 64 Gibibytes, or is only half of it useful as I suspect?
got ne for myself! Sandisk Class 6 64gb !
Have something like 40gb full. Works well!

Nice this is very nice.
Maybe u should go to some IT shop and try it out.
I guess the X10 din show its support with 64G is coz at dat time, 64G micro-SDHC havnt come out yet.

Wish i could -.- but somehow the Phone (or what ever, never took it out!) Corrupted the MicroSD Card!
Then Phone Plays dead with a Corrupted MicroSD Card. Wont start up !
put the Card into SD Card and reade on my computer and that one says corrupted format. Need to reformat -.- But then "Computer cant Format that card" -.-
AND the Card gets ****ing HOT! nearly burnt myself! more than 50°C for sure! Also only shows 30MB space! But i had over 40gb data on it! so its a real one!
Guess i'll got an defective Card -.-
But about the Read/write values. had something like 6-7mb write and 30mb read.

This had to happen when SE said it was compatible with 32gb
Sent from my Xperia S using XDA
I've seen others comment on the 64GB (and up?) microsdxc cards working on the Evo3D but figured there were no details.
Periodically on Best Buy - the Sandisk Class 6 64gb card has gone on sale for $100. I ended up biting and installed it in my Evo3D this week. Initially - the card registers as being "damaged" in the operating system. But tapping on the notice gives you the option to format the card, and you just have to be persistent - eventually the card will format and be fully functional.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchp...p=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960
I figured I'd comment on the speed. I was previously using a 32GB PNY Class 10 memory card which was not living up to it's speed rating. Using SD tools - the card would only write at 7 megs/second. Which was consistent with other user reports - but still disappointing.
I'd heard that Sandisk has a habit of underrating their cards - so I hoped this class 6 might actually exceed the speed of the PNY card. I would be disappointed. SD tools consistently reports the write speed of this card at 5.5MB/S.
That said - I'm happy with my purchase. I'm very pleased with the additional storage this card gives me and I've yet to see any downfall to the speed of the card - except for the few times I transfer large amounts of content at once. This card is storing my full 23 GB music collection - and still has room for a ton of HD video and games. For anyone curious - this card plays 1080P sample videos flawlessly while using Diceplayer.
I'll keep looking to see if they go on sale any time soon. If they hit the $100 mark, can you post a reminder here for us? (If you happen to see it)
Thanks for the great info!

Will do. I'm curious if our phone will be capable of accessing even larger cards. I'm also hopeful that ICS will allow us to more easily format the card EXFAT so we can have HD files above 4GB. My cheap Chinese Android tablet can easily handle NTFS - so I wish it were possible on the phone.
Hmm that hadn't even occurred to me yet, but I agree. That would be a great bonus with ICS!
Also, do they even make cards larger than that yet? I'm on my phone so can't search all that well until I get home. (promise I'm not that lazy lol)

You probably already got home and researched it, but they don't yet make micro SD cards that big yet, but the theoretical max for microsdxc is 2TB. I'm just pleasantly surprised that our phone can handle the new format.

It can read it man.....its already been tested when kingmax launched world 1st 64gb sdxc. Evo 3d will format it to a different format i guess.
The same happened with the old phones which were expandable upto 16gb. But 32gb worked fine in them when its launched.

Sorry I didn't report it out . . . I didn't want to be responsible in case our phone didn't work with the card. If it pops up on sale again (it's happened twice since Christmas) - I'll post.
The compatibility issue was just that the card came in formatted EXFAT. Formatting to FAT32 fixed the issue right away. I really wish a future kernel or firmware would allow EXFAT support - so files larger than 4GB could be played. I have a cheap chinese tablet that handles EXFAT and NTFS no problem.
not quite as good....
Isn't this the same card?

That's the same card, yes. It's gone on sale for $100 a couple of times on Bestbuy this year - hence the reason for this thread.
If anyone knows of a kernel that's had NTFS or EXFAT baked in, please reply here. That's probably what I most want out of a custom ROM, though I'm still running stock.

There is another one who fell for the 10 rating. PNY also makes a card specifically for smartphones. It is same price as the 10. I get about 18 write high 20 read. SanDisk you can look for about 6 write12 or so read but they hold up good from what I'm told. Personally I think PNY makes best card now but a lot new ones will be out within year. I'd like to try Samsung when it arrives. Everyone will be using cloud or some type online storage soon. I'd say there won't be much use for bigger cards but wtf do I know? Just guess......

I picked mine up at Best Buy around the holidays for $99.
Just remember to format it from the phone, not the computer . I lost all my previous data because I forgot to.
Grr.
I got a 64GB SanDisk card from Best Buy. It was in the usual cardboard FrustratorExtreme-pack.
It won't format. Not on the phone, not on Windows, not on Linux.
It looks like the device is permanently write-protected. Fdisk appears to write a new partition table, but no...
Windows thinks it's a 32MB unformatted disk that is write-protected. That's 32MB, not 32GB, and this is a 64GB card.
BestBuy:
The problem is not with Windows. It's most likely your card reader. I just got the 64gb sandisk from best buy, put it in my phone, formatted fine.
My usb card reader showed it being a wrong size and unformatted even though I had just formatted it in the phone.
Put it back in the phone and did usb storage through the phone and bam, got my 59.7gb of space.

I come from a Dell Streak background - a device which I really loved to play around with and abuse!! One thing you could do on that device was remove a bit of plastic from the battery compartment and then you had access to the internal SD card fitted by Dell, which you could then change to another (bigger) one.
I have the 8GB Mega 6.3 device - which I love just as much as the Streak - but I have yet to mess around with custom roms etc, but no doubt that will happen in time. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the internal SD/memory on this device to a large one? I assume the internal memory is just another Micro SD card and I also assume that removing the back of the unit would expose this card and allow someone to change it to a 16 or even 32GB card instead. I have googled and searched this site and other an not come across anyone who has found a way to do this - so I thought I'd as the question here to see if anyone else has come across this process anywhere.
Any information would be greatly appreciated
I haven't seen this done ....
I don't know if that's even possible
2SHAYNEZ
I don't think that is possible as i think the internal sd is surfaced mounted (soldered) to the mainboard, it might work if that could be removed and replaced with a larger capacity one..but it would take good soldering skills to do it..and not sure how it even would work if this was changed out.
I did see an couple people in the note community get a SD card adapter ribbon and be able to make there external memory 256 and 128 GB.....

I suspect you are right. I thought it was worth thinking about as it was a very easy thing to change on the Dell (after a bit of deft stanley knife skills) and it would avoid the annoyance of having loads of space on my external SD card, but getting very low on the internal card. If Samsung could add a 'install to SD' option, like the Dell had that would go a long way to removing the need to increase the internal memory size. I've noticed a few posts in the Samsung galaxy section on here which says that some of the roms are adding this feature.

I had a closer look at some of the mega teardown websites and it was apparent that the internal memory is not another sd card as it was on my Dell steak, it looks like a surface mounted chip -so that's that by the looks of it - no simple upgrade will be possible. Shame but not the end of the world for me as the phone still rocks! I do wish I'd bought the 16gb though.

What benefit other than extra storage would you expect?
The card is pricey compared to standard Micro SD cards but high end phones for the most part stopped offering the expanded memory option because it has the potential to seriously slow down a phone.
I'm using my 128GB card just for media storage (I don't think it is intended for running apps) and so far I'm very happy with it. I don't notice any difference running media from the card compared with the internal storage and having storage free is always a good thing with Android phones.
The card also worked out to be much cheaper than buying the 256GB version of the phone, at least for me.

It does not give you the option of using the card as part of the phone's internal memory which is normally what ends up causing problems--but that also means the card might not be useful for people looking to install a ton of games or other apps.
When a memory card is treated as internal memory you can't move anything to it and apps are installed on it by the system but it's always slower than the physical memory--and if the card starts to go bad it can make your device unstable.
I think Huawei wanted to minimize the possibility of the memory card causing any problems on the M20P and one of the easiest ways to do that is to make sure owners can't use third party memory cards.

The pinout is completely different from a microsSD.
So I'm wondering if anyone has tried. I have a 256GB card already that works fine but I'm running out of space (Yes I'm carrying quite a lot of music with me and yes I do see it as a good thing) my music collection is bigger than 256GB and would like to carry more so that's why I asking.
I know the max is 256GB but I don't know if that's down to hardware (and card slot) or what
No one?
From my knowledge it's only up to 256, so if you get a 512, it may not work. Sorry haven't tried it yet, but as per the spec of poco it's only up to 256. I had a different phone before, a galaxy a8 2018 which suppprted up to 256 as well and when i tried my friend's 512gb it didn't recognize it, so most likely same will happen with the poco

you can use a 512gb sd card, but as soon you reach the 256gb full, files will get damaged and sd will fail to be recognized by the phone...

I would also have like to use a 512GB card. Does anyone know why this limitation exists? Is it a hardware constraint with the card reader, or a firmware or O/S constraint? I naively thought that SDXC compatibility would allow anything up to 2TB, but it's clearly not as simple as that.

That was definitely not my experience with other phones. Usually cards with higher than phone rated capacity work just fine.
From my understanding when phone manufacturers say up to 256 gb SD card supported they are saying that cause at that point of time that's the highest SD card available in the market. Most phones that can support 256gb will support higher capacities too.

Interesting video - thanks. So in theory a FAT32-formatted 512Gb SD card should be supported by any phone that supports FAT32 and SDXC? It's a shame there isn't a more recent video which tries 512GB cards in current smartphones.
In older days, when external storage limited size was 32Gb some Motorola's users (including me with Rokr Z6) used to divide 64Gb as two 32Gb mountable partitions.
You can try it too.

That was definitely not my experience with other phones. Usually cards with higher than phone rated capacity work just fine.

did you fill them?
some phones i could use higher sdcards, but in others i got problems the time i reach the advised memory limits...

i used to do that sometimes too, and even use sdcard as internal memory with some apps and hacks...

lucky you, or maybe i was using cheap cards on cheap phones ?
I have a 512Gb Huawei memory card on my Poco F1 working fine, I haven't reached the 256Gb capacity because I've just received today. But so far so good ?
Lexar 512GB 633x (black / blue) from Aliexpress is working fine. At the moment 217GB is filled on the card.

Sir,
Sir,
I don't know if you have found an answer to your question as of yet but I have. I've purchased several different 512gb cards knowing that I had some use for them somewhere. The fact is that the Poco F1 does see 512 gigabytes... And then down the rabbit hole we go. After about 20 to 30 minutes of you installing the card and moving over all kinds of information, the Poco F1 begins to forget things. That's the only way I know how to put it. all the sudden some of the stuff that you have moved over to the card is not reachable even though you still see some of the shortcuts or some of the things that point to it depending on what program you're using and the next thing you know after about an hour and a half two hours it also can't find those either and then some of the program start to crash. These are not programs that I have you some third-party where to move over to the card at all. I didn't move over any software to the card I'm just talkin about moving over some of the things that it was to the card. and then you'll notice after a few more hours that the card is unreadable. The way that you can fix this is to go ahead and put it into any computer and I used a program called mini it's a freeware program to recover the lost partition. then I put it right back in the phone and at first the phone fights with and everything else but you can get it to look at it and see it again only to repeat the exact same problem over and over and over again. The problem seems to be exacerbated if you were to use a torrent program to save data to the driver's if it was a download folder from multiple sources at once. I tried everything I could. I even tempted fate a little bit by saying if I could use aparted the cell phone version in order to partition the drive into two different types of partitions one of them course being the f2fs partition I was trying to see if I could successfully divide the memory card into two partitions so that the computer or cell phone would see them as two separate entities does relieving the problem of it seeing larger than 256. this was not successful though I cannot promise that I did everything correctly. I would greatly appreciate any information you happen to have about this. I have several of these 512gb cards and some of which I saved a lot of money on some of which I spend a lot of money on but they all seem to operate the exact same with the exact same problem. if you had any suggestions on how to add that to a Asus tablet that I'm now having the exact same problem with and much lower micro SD card total capacity sizes than the Poco F1 s I would greatly appreciate that too. The Asus laptop that I'm dealing with is an Asus e203m and it comes with 32GB of real special fast memory that uses hard drive and so you can see we're picking this up for almost nothing is a great deal provided that you're a little tech-savvy can work with clouds quite a bit and hopefully find the solution to the problem and adding a 500 gigabyte micro SD card. The problem is that you can't partition those the way that you'd like or you think that you could. but for me I really love computers and love to turn branches on the weekend so to speak. I'd also love to learn anyting you might be willing to share about partitioning and the like.I know that windows will only see the first partition of a microSD card. but then who wants to be limited to just Windows anyway.

So I'm wondering if anyone has tried. I have a 256GB card already that works fine but I'm running out of space (Yes I'm carrying quite a lot of music with me and yes I do see it as a good thing) my music collection is bigger than 256GB and would like to carry more so that's why I asking.
I know the max is 256GB but I don't know if that's down to hardware (and card slot) or what

Hit "Like" If this helped.
I have Samsung Evo Select 512 gigs and been using it since 6 months.
I have it full almost 90-95%+ full everytime as i load a lot of movies in it. During the time of writing it was 97% full.
It is formatted to exfat and is working perfectly.
There is no data loss or anything like that after 256 gigs.
I hope this answers all your questions.
If you have any more questions just let me know.
