I'm thinking of formatting my 64GB MicroSDXC UHS-1 card and need to know a few things.
1. Does formatting from extFat to FAT32 cause any card issues? I read it's not good because it can degrade the cards performance and possibly lower it's lifetime use.
2. What is my benefit besides being able to use custom roms (If I wanted), allowing my nandroid backups via CWM to flash to the memory card, and few other things I can't think of offhand. (Medicine does that to you LOL)
3. Why did you go from extFAT to FAT32 on your 64GB MIcroSDXC memory card?
4. Have you noticed any performance or gain going to FAT32?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and help. I really appreciate it!
The card I have is here SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQUA-064G-U46A.
I have the Samsung 64gb card and I left it at exFAT, I have no issues with the card.
I did switch to TWRP since it reads the card just fine.
I have done several backups and restores with no issues.
I have also flashed a couple of roms.

1. I never worry about that crap. I just back my card up every once and a while.
2. EVERYTHING can read fat32.
3. EVERYTHING can read fat32.
4. Yes. It went from 0 to 100% working with CWM. That's an infinite increase.
It's like this...unless you are going to load high bit rate 1080p mkv movies onto your phone then watch them on a ridiculous 5" screen, then reformat to fat32 and USE the card you already paid for instead of worrying about a card you might have to pay for if this one fails.
My card is on the way. I will probably use use Cwm and format as fat32.

I have the same Sandisk card as you. I changed mine from exFAT to FAT32 because I was having the problem where the card would be reported as damaged once or twice a day. It would say something like "SD card damaged, try reformatting." I could clear the error by either rebooting the phone or unmounting/remounting the card, and all the data seemed to be intact. But it was annoying so I reformatted it to FAT32 about 3 or 4 days ago to see if it would help. Since then, the card has not reported as damaged again, but I have seen it unmount/remount by itself a couple of times.
So instead of messing with it any more, I decided to order the Samsung card, since lots of people are saying it seems to work better in this phone. Newegg has it for $59.99 plus an additional $9 off promo code. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147220
I have used the 65GB card both ways:
-extFAT
-FAT32
The only problems I ran into was with my Debian box. I use Debian as my daily driver, and the extFAT was not recognized. There are ways to add support for extFAT for Debian, but I just formatted it to FAT32 instead and have been using it that way ever since.
Sometimes, on my Windows 8 box, if I try to format it with Windows, it will format it to 32GB. I then have to go into Linux to reformat it to 64GB. Havent looked too much into it, but just an FYI.
Speed-wise though, I have not noticed any difference at all in speeds.

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?

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.
FYI... Sandisk is now selling an "Ultra" 64gb SDXC (micro SD) card that is rated Class 10 and is UHS 1. The "Ultra" tag refers to their class of cards that have 30MB/second read speed (unk. what the write speed is). Sandisk also has an "Extreme Pro" class of cards that have 95MB/second read speed, but the largest "Extreme Pro" in micro SDXC is currently 16gb. If you shop hard, you can find the 64gb "Ultra" SDXC card for less than $60 currently.
It's been previously reported that Razr supports SDXC cards, including 64gb (see this thread).
For anyone who might buy one, a word of caution. Put it in your Razr and format it there first before trying to use it on your PC. I'm not sure whether I received a defective card, or I somehow ruined my card by trying to format it to FAT32 on a Windows machine (using Paragon Partition Manager). I spent hours screwing with it before giving up and returning it to the seller.
I have the same 32gb version in my razr right now and it runs great. I assume the 64gb one wouldn't be any different.
Got mine for $23 on Amazon. Couldn't pass it up for that price.

It depends...
Is your USB adapter USB 2.0?
I typically use the SD Card slot with the adapter provided with the micro SD card.
USB for transfer unless you have a good adapter can be slower.
I use one 32gb class 10, works fine.

Have you tried a HD 1080p recording on your 32gb class 10 card ? , if yes - did you find any difference when you tried the same recording on a class 4 ( assuming 30 fps and standard cache)?
Got my one for a few weeks, phone has never been so slow.
Not faulty (tested the card multiple times) - anyone else having issues? I feel like I have a Galaxy S1. Just weird behaviour - Swype takes forever for k/b to appear, winamp takes forever for thumbnails for albums to appear - just apalling performance from my phone.

I couldn't mount it or format it. My RAZR kept saying it was damaged. So, I formatted it in my PC first and all is well.
If you're under Windows XP, you'll need to have a program to do this. I used EaseUS Partition Master which you can get for free at http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html.
So far, the card works great and it's nice to have more room for DLC and songs.
I own this card.
It was a pain in the ass to format, but once I formatted it a few times, it worked great.
64gb picked up for like 70$ shipped from ebay. All my Community, Walking Dead and music and SO much more. Couldnt be happier

You can simply put it in the phone. No need to do anything beforehand. If it requires you to format, the phone will tell you to do so.
I've given up completely on trying to get this to work in my phone. The phone will recognize it as 64GB, but will freeze up on numerous occasions even if I'm not accessing it. Does no one else have the freezing issue? Running Flick 5.0 Tornado
So what's the concensus on this "extreme" cards' performance while in the phone? Are backups faster? Transferring files to/from a dekstop while connected via USB faster?
Amazon has a sale on memory cards today. I'm wondering if the Nook Tablet (rooted) will be able to read the 64 GB cards.
Call B&N and ask them.
It can, yes. I recently purchased this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005V7WIA2/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00 and it works quite well. It was a little wonky at first, but after formatting it (in the NT) it became readable. Not sure if every 64 gig micro SD will work with the NT, this one definitely does. For me, anyhow.
Right from B&N FAQ
A microSDHC card with a storage capacity of up to 32 GB.
• Class 6 microSDHC cards are supported. Class 6 is faster than class 4, which is faster than class 2. The class should be mentioned on the packaging for the microSDHC card and printed on the card itself. If no speed is indicated, the card is a class 2 card. The speed of the card does not affect page display speeds. It can affect read and write speeds when transferring books, periodicals, and personal files to and from the SD card.
• The microSDHC card must be formatted with a FAT32 file system.

This is a pretty standard description that most devices and manufacturers use. However, I've found that 64GB microSD work fine when formatted to FAT32.
I dont doubt that they will work, but it just isnt supported by B&N so if you get a card that doesnt work they are going to say too bad so sad if you call/online chat with them. haha
I am looking to buy a 64gb SD card for my GNote2. I have read some reviews and have been leaning towards the Sandisk 64gb Ultra. I would like some feedback on people's preferences or some advice on what would be the best 64gb card to buy?
I just got the sandisk 64Gb ultra after doing some research , it is the perfect memory for it. Very fast.
Just make sure to format it fat32. And use directory bind to point your apps to it.

No do not format it to fat32. It is not necessary our note2 accepts exfat format and that will be the way it is shipped. Mine read perfect the moment I popped it in. I did format it in the phone and have over 30gb downloaded to it. 0 issues.
I have read issues with formatting it to fat32 and in the instructions it even warns against it.
When I got mine, it came exfat as well,
But my pc and phone did note like it.
Phone would eject the SD and pc write speed was super slow and would get error. Fat32 fixed all that.
Now SD is superfast now and working great.
I formated it with sd format tool thinking that may yhe issue. But it was not

Did you swap out your memory so your SDcard is now your on board memory? That is where I have been hearing people having issues.

How is this statement true? I have SanDisk cards in my phone and I also videotape weddings and use SanDisk cards as well and have never had a problem. A lot of people buy them off ebay and they turn out to be fake so they become corrupt. You can't just say that Samsungs are more reliable.

No and if that's the reason for the fat32 format I apologize because I am not swapping int/ext.
My speeds were soso and I ran the lag fix app in the market and the card reads at 629mbps and writes at 9ish Mbps . seems good to me. Transfered 1gb file to PC in about 2 mins.
If you root and do custom roms you should do FAT32 because not all kernels (both for recoveries and for roms) have a good exFAT driver. TWRP, for example, doesn't support exFAT at all last I checked, so you wouldn't be able to read/write roms and backups from your SD card if you use TWRP with an exFAT card. FAT32 works fine though. I'm not sure the exact kernels and recoveries that are affected by this (I would expect recoveries and AOSP ROMs to be affected and TouchWiz to not really care).
Note that by default Windows doesn't let you format disks FAT32 that are bigger than 32GB; you can download a utility that will let you do it. I assume you could do it in Linux w/ mkfs.msdos -F 32, but I didn't try it when I did mine.
I dunno, I'm exfat and made a backup. I have a ROM. I may make another backup and test a flash
TWRP 2.4 supports exFAT now, however you may find that your ROM may not. I ended up formatting to FAT32 for it to detect in CM10.1.

I will just leave or at exfat, fat32 has a 4gb limit per file. Swap doesn't concern me as I have plenty of internal space for those things.
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.
