I have a 16 Gb S4 with a 64Gb ext SD card and just heard about the 32 Gb being available online through Verizon. I'm on day 2 with the S4 so I have plenty of time to exchange/upgrade to the 32 Gb and I was hoping to have some S4 members chime in and give me their thoughts on my situation. 2 year contract is a huge deal so I really appreciate any and all advice shared...stay with the 16 Gb or pay the price difference and order a 32 Gb device...

I would pay for the price difference and get a 32 gig but they only come in black. 1 being that even though we have apps2sd it'll only be certain types of files and with the 16 gig your only getting 9gigs to mess with. Black and 32 gig would be a better trade off in the long run if you were looking to trade your phone. More storage.

I appreciate ya chiming in hovax615... Do you have 16/32?
Ya my S3 has 32 GB of internal storage. I never had an issue with "not" enough internal storage therefore I never even looked at the internal storage stats. What I'm wondering is, on my S4, if I were to watch what I DL to the internal then would 16 GB be enough.
I had both the 16GB and the 32gb one. Go with the latter. Also I have it in white.

If you have a 16gb and its on mdk stay with that and use a 64gb sd card. If you go with a 32gb go to store and make sure its mdk not me7 if you want to root and unlocked bootloader

Ya that's a big concern. I'm a flashaholic and I currently have an MDK which I'm finding out is my only option in regards to rooting/flashing. Yes I'm using my 64 GB card in my S4. If I order a 32 GB will I have the option of turning it on, checking the build number & refusing it if its an ME7 build?. I'm gonna call Big Red and ask some questions...
post a screenshot of your internal storage stats on 16GB S4
Can someone, that has a custom ROM loaded on an S4 w/16 GB int storage, post a screenshot showing the internal storage stats??
Are you looking for custom ROMs? That could complicate things as you'd want to get an MDK version. Otherwise it's a no brainer - pay for the 32GB. It will remove concerns many have about internal storage. Heck, I even run short just because of the downloads folder - I know, I need FolderMount but just have not done that yet.
32GB is my vote.
Damn Jenna!!! It's a $35 restocking fee (although the rep that sold me the 16GB device said there wasn't a 32 GB Verizon version offered) and an additional $100 for the 32 GB version. That's $135 more...**** I got my class 10 64 GB SD for $49 at Best Buy 6 months ago. I don't know that's a lot of money. I just gained root access and I'm bout to flash a ROM to assess the internal storage...
I say just stay with the 16GB one of its on mkd and flash one of the me7 roms and you'll be able to move apps to the sdcard and check folder mount to move app data to the sdcard.

Yesr, MKD outta the box, been flashing the night away. I'm on Eclipse TW & Ive not had the opportunity to slim the Rom down yet but so far, on a rough setup, I'm ending up with around 5 GB of free internal storage. I did brick my phone for about an hour last night. I didn't think I was gonna be able to recover but I finally was able to get into TWRP, flashed the stock MDK modem, reinstalled SuperSu (I have no idea why that worked!) and that got the phone to boot. Anyway I ordered the 32 GB which should be here Friday so Ive got some more time to work on this 16 GB to get a better idea of what I'm looking at while running custom ROM's...I'll keep posting updates...

Here's to hoping the new phone arrives with MDK. Many people seem fine with the 16gb version, but I held out as I plan to keep the phone for a while and wanted as much as I could get - 64gb would have been better but I figured the chance of that was about the same an Congress actually doing something.

My coworker is stock rooted gingerbread with a 32GB sd card (with 25gb still available for use). He's been that way for about 2 months now, and uses stock camera and gallery.
For some reason now, his pics aren't saving. I just tried myself with his phone, and the pic was saved to ext_sd/dcim/... I saw it in the folder using root explorer. Within 5 min, the pic was replaced with the triangle error sign.
Any thoughts?

My thoughts exactly! I hate eBay, and that is where he got it (for cheap... Go figure ). I didn't know there were cards that read 32 but were only 8. It makes sense since he has used 6gb of space (and we all know 8gb isn't really 8gb)

Hello All,
Like many others I have started purchasing my accessories early, so that they are ready when I get my Note 2 delivered to my door. I just received my micro SD card, and I have a few questions. I am wanting to have all my music and pictures loaded onto the SD card prior to the phone arriving. My only questions is would it be better to keep it in the format that it was sent in which was exfat, or should i format it to Fat32? I did do a search but I was unable to find a definitive answer which was best. It sounds like the note 2 can support both formats. Also most people leaned toward the exfat due to it not having the 4gb size file limitation, but I have not heard anyone successfully doing this even with it as exfat.
Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
I would ask the international folks since they actually have the device.
That being said, I will use exFAT as long as their isn't a drop in I/O performance.

Just a note about the sd cards for this phone. I talked to a Samsung rep last night and asked them what size, speed and file format works in the Note II. He said up to a 64GB Class 10 card formatted to FAT32 will work, and that it can be formatted in the phone.
I just wanted something official since I was reading so many conflicting posts on-line about what works and what doesn't.
I'm using 64gb formated exfat and have no issues. See the file sizes?
I just bought a new 64gb for my note and it doesn't work. I tried to format it and couldn't and then I put it in my friends note 2 and it formatted and worked fine. I went into settings in my phone and it doesn't show anything at all in the external sd slot. I know this is a noobie question but, could you guys throw a dog a bone.?

When I got mine I could not get it to work, there are several threads around on this, most say to format it using your phone which did not work for me. As I recall I ended up formatting with my PC and I had to use FAT32 filesystem. The ext32 filesystem that is suppose to handle 4GB files would not work for me.

Did you move any system function or apps onto your ad card? I would put in the 32 and format and partition it, then take everything off the 16 and put it on the 32. Then report back your findings.

Had one of my 32gb micro's crap out on me today. Of course it was my more valuable to me card. Popped it my laptop to grab some files for a new Novena flash only to get a "must be formatted." Fired up testdisk 6.13 to have a peek at the partition before panic set in, just to find it detected as 32mb. Was a genuine Sandisk. Not impressed. Can't for the life me get the partition repaired. I'm fine with taking the data loss now, but can't get it to format. Going to try HP Drive Key Boot Utility once I borrow someone's WiFi in the a.m.

i read a thread here in the forums, cant post the link though, "sd card becomes lil slower when the memory is almost full or completely full..
btw go for class 10 which gives 10Mb/s r/w speed...class 2 is very slow...
so even if the memory card is 8gb class 10 it will show some performance..but 32gb class4 will be fine..but at some times u will feel it has become rather slow.." i didnt see if you mentioned what class the SD card was. hope this helps a little.
My genuine 32GB SanDisk MicroSDHC UHS-1 Class 10 card did the same thing almost immediately after I got it in Septemeber. It eventually died after two months of use. SanDisk RMA'd it, and I'm waiting for the replacement. I'm expecting that the replacement will also die... I think our phones is killing these SanDisk UHS-1 cards.
Mine was a week shy of a year old. Be my last SanDisk. Doubt it's our Notes doing it though. Had mine in and out of a Captivate, S2, Note dozens of times.

This thread is defeinetly interesting. I originally had a patriot 16GB class 10 (excellent card BTW), as I began to run out of storage I decided to buy this sandisk ultra 32GB HC1 supposebly read/write speeds are better than class 10? Wrong.. my speeds dropped even with tinkering with system tuner/ SD settings didn't seem to help much.. I have screenshots somewhere of both cards tested and compared.Well besides that One month goes by and my device kept trying to randomly read and scan the card as if I just turned the phone on? Games and apps wouldn't start saying app not installed? Eventually the card crapped out asking for a reformat, luckily I backed up the card before it crashed. I sent it back to Sandisk they RMA'ed me a second one I'm using now.. going on two weeks no issues so far. I'm thinking maybe there's a bad lot out there?

What he's referring to is JellyBeans additional "SD Swap" feature which basically makes your phone see your SD Card as the internal storage. I don't know why he thinks his phone wouldn't work though, as with any phone the Internal Storage/SD Card is not required for the device to operate.

I've ran into this issue with Lexar jump drives and had to use command prompt in W7 to make them work again. It always happened when I would write a Linux distro to the drive to use as a bootable disk.
The fix requires you completely wiping the drive, which the two jump drives in question that I always have issues with are actually micro SD card readers with whatever size card in them.
Here is the link explaining how to fix it:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/219693/unable-to-format-usb-stick-to-full-capacity/
What I have to do though is select the disk drive and once in it I have to use the Create Partition Primary command instead of selecting a partition because on my drives there are no partitions and it won't even show up under Computer most of the time. Give it a shot and see if it gets you back up and running, if not you may have a faulty card that Lexar needs to replace.

There was a problem with SanDisk ultra sd cards during the manufacturing process and they will replace your card for free

wife's 32gb card just started acting up. Sometimes the phone reads it, other times not. Haven't had time to investigate it yet.
Are you using moon rom v3? Same thing happened to me. It kept saying it was un mounting and remounting. I rebooted my phone and gave a sim lock message. Thought I was screwed. I flashed beans and now im back to normal.

How do you go about doing this? I have no original paperwork or packaging, just a dead 32GB Sandisk card.
call 1-866-SANDISK (726-3475) and tell them about your problems they will ask for the numbers off the card. They make you send your to them first then when they recieve it they'll send you a new one.

My samsung 64g Class 10 has worked perfectly since I got it in February.
