Probably, if you could buy one. Don't see it listed for sale. Saw the 128gb for $80 though.
I'm betting it's only 192 gb.
200Gb http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...uan_200g_a4a_200gb_ultra_uhs_i_microsdxc.html OR 128Gb http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ..._sdsdqui_128g_a46_128gb_ultra_micro_sdxc.html I'll stick with 128GB
Shame it's Sandisk. After returning 4 faulty 64gb Sandisk cards to Amazon in the space of six months, I changed to a Samsung card and haven't had a single issue in over 12 months. I won't touch Sandisk again.
I need this for the GoPro on my dashboard... Getting a bit tired of having to wipe everything every 3 hours.

Interesting. I had completely the opposite experience. 4 Samsung cards broke over a timespan of 3 months, but the Sandisk cards I;ve been using in my phones and cameras for over a decade are still running perfectly.
Yes, should have mentioned pre-sale. For sandisk haters, I imagine others brands are forthcoming
Just to let everyone know, my Sandisk 128gb microsd died on me. I'm unable to erase or add anything to it or format it. I've tried everything available online to remedy the situation. It was a huge burn. My 64gb microsd is working fine though
warranty on sandisk?
isn't there a good warranty on sandisk?

Yes. It's compatible.
The specs listed for any smartphone are created based on what is avaulable on the public market at the time the phone is announced. The listed specs are not updated, but the larger sized cards are fully compatible regardless.
Keep in mind that you will need to use .nomedia files to exclude all non-mediaplayer related folders from the indexing process(just copy one into each folder you wish to exclude), or the Media process is going to drain your battery flat within an hour.

Just so everyone knows, the shortest SanDisk warranty is 5 years (some are warrantied for 10 years). If you have a bad card, don't contact the seller, contact SanDisk at http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/list/kw/microsd microsdhc/ (there's a live chat available). If you need an RMA to return the defective card, it's at http://kb.sandisk.com/app/rmaform/session/L3RpbWUvMTQyODI3NTgxOS9zaWQvSjlPcjM4am0= If you check the search box, though, you'll find that a lot of "bad" cards can be recovered pretty easily. (If it can be recognized by a computer, using a card reader, you can recover the data by running http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec on the card (instructions at http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step ).
I didn't try but max capacity of note 3 is 128 as I remember
I looked up micro sd limit for note 3, it said 64gb. So how is it possbile to get more?

I bought a new kingston 16 gb micro sd.
Now the card says it is not bigger than 961 MB.
I have format the card twice fat and fat32 but it is still 961 MB..
What do I wrong, or is the card wrecked?
Thnx
If that happened to me, I'd take it back where I got it for a replacement.

If you got it on ebay there is a 95% chance you bought a fake 16GB micro SD card. I stay away from memory cards offered on ebay. Its a very good chance that it actually is a 1GB card made to report that it has 16GB when it doesn't. If you did get it on ebay hopefully ebay or paypal will be able to help you get your money back.

Yeah, I just read about that today too, and remembered this thread...I'm guessing the problem is more widespread than just Kingston, and is the source of many of the SD card issues people are having...just like the one above (including the "ghost-source" cards found on e-bay).
Here's an article with a slightly shorter explaination of the same report in that link chompx2 posted above.
So can anyone suggest a good class 6 card? I don't want to get one that turns out to be a fraud. And as bad as that would be, it would be even worse if I got one that worked as advertised and then a couple months later dies and loses all of my data.
Any suggestions for a card that wil be reliable for the long term?
Try the A-DATA 16GB Micro SDHC Class 6. I just got mine from Newegg.com.
I swapped out my Sandisk 8GB Class 2. I noticed a big difference on speed. I got mine for $54.86 including tax. Shipping was free. Mine does not come with a SD adapter but I already have a couple of them. Newegg does have Micro SD cards with the adapters. Just search around. Hope this helps.

Was it from ebay? SD cards are one of the items that I've started just paying the small premium to get from a known-good vendor (i.e. newegg, etc), just because of how commonly they're counterfeited and find their way into "unofficial" sales channels like e-bay and so forth
In December 2009 I purchased 2x 16GB microSD cards from eBay China for my new HD2. They took 2 1/2 months to arrive and when I got them they both only showed as 1GB and the writing on the cards were flaking. I was so upset. I could have gotten an 8GB microSD locally for less than the price of one of those fake 16GB microSD cards. At the time I had the original HD2 2GB in my phone, so even the 2 fake cards were useless.
I tried the Paypal resolution process, and it did not work. I never got back the US$80 I spent. The seller has disappeared.
In 2008 I bought 16GB microSD cards from eBay UK when they first came out at US$110 each and those were real (one was lost in a car, the other sold several months ago), so this time I was looking for a deal. I lost big time on those fake cards.
I bit the bullet and bought a single 16GB microSD Class 6 (also from eBay but from Topram US) to hold out until the 32GB microSDs came out (and now until they get faster and the price gets cheaper).
Stick to 'reputable' sellers on eBay, do not make a purchase based only on the best price, or take the risk of not getting what you paid for.
Here is a good seller with a good deal
I bought a 16gb class6 card from this US seller a year ago. It has been a great card and I have had no problems whatsoever.
Here is a link to a Kodak (Lexar) 16gb Class 4 card for BIN $40.24 with free shipping.
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Lexar-Media...-/400143735721?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal
I very recently bought a 32GB microSD on ebay from a HK seller grandtechdigital.
The card was a fake. It does have a capacity somewhere around 8-16GB, though. I only ended up paying $31 US for the card, and the seller gave me a refund since it was not 32GB.
The trick with Ebay is to make sure you file your dispute in time if you are getting jerked around. If you wait too long, then you have no recourse. I could be wrong, but I think you only have 60 days.
Good Luck!
Does anyone know how to fix the bad card I have? I know that it needs to be reprogrammed to show the actual capacity. Right now, it looses files when I try to copy too much data to it.
Found another even better deal!!
Check out this one!! 16GB Topram Class 6!!

I have 2 kingston 32gb micro SD card i purchased in advance for my EVO 3D and my Xoom. I put it in my 3D and it detected and mounted the card. i then plugged the 3D into my computer as a drive and copied over photos, music, and a couple of movies. I unplug the phone from the computer, and EVERYTHING disappeared. I formatted the card, did it again, and ran scan disk and defrag before i unmounted from my computer. same effect. Anyone else experiencing this?
No problems with my PNY 32 gb. I have never formatted the card either, but maybe try formatting the card from within the phone's menu, or you got bum cards.

good point I didn't think about that. Also if he got them on ebay good chance they're fakes. I remember reading that the fakes spoofed having 32 gigabytes but just wrote over the same 4gb of space over and over.
Hmm, my Kingston 32 GB class 10 that I paid an exorbitant amount from Newegg has not failed. But it has failed to give me class 10 speed. More like a fictional class 8.
Kingston memory is considered pretty high quality in the desktop memory market.

Yes, this Kingston class 10 was going to replace my Sandisk 32 class 2 (which did class 6 speed). Now, I just might return it.
Lots of disparity between claimed and actual performance with these cards in either direction. My guess is it isn't worth the cost to test on the production line, they just write off the occasional RMA.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
So yeah, this is a fake. What happens is the fake SD Card maker runs dd on a very small SD Card so that it gets up to the size. If you configure dd you can make it loop over the drive so you can set the drive's size pretty easily. You end up with a card that will basically only hold a small amount of data but looks like it can handle much more.

That's the one I ordered, which should come today. Not really going to help this guy out since the card is out of stock.
It was back in stock on Monday, on Tuesday I looked and it was sold out.
On a lot of these 32GB Class 10 microsdhc cards - I read a lot of mixed reviews citing general Android incompatibility? I've read a lot of comments calling it an "industry wide" compatibility issue with Android. Has anyone had problems with a class 10 card - knowing that it came from a reputable source?
That's honestly the one thing that's kept me from pulling the trigger on a 32GB class 10 card. I wanted to hear that people were successfully using these types of cards in an EVO 3D with speed critical applications like recording and viewing HD video.
Good to know that certain cards are having issues.
No problems with the SanDisk 32gb card I bought from amazon 3 months ago other than the price dropped $30 immediately after I bought it.

Ye I would echo this, cheap cards either "branded" or no name are usually open to fail after a few weeks / month I use a rule of thumb if the price in a retail shop is for arguments sake £1/$1 per gig and im buying online any thing more than 50% cheaper and its probably a dodgy poor quality card or so old its only class4 but seller isn't being honest.
You have to watch Amazon as well as those virtual warehouse peeps like to send crap cards out in place of quality you expected happened a few times. Now I stick to class 10 Sandisk Extream cards as others have mentioned never had a problem since and I can use them in my DSLR or any other device that needs high speed and stability.
If OP tries a sandisk and it still kills the card then you probably have a faulty card connector in the phone shorting the cards out.

You haven't actually said what was wrong with the card, it could be that a chkdsk could have fixed it. Had this problem myself twice with CM9 and a CM10 ROM as they dont have support of exfat and they corrupted my card. However I fixed the partitions easily in windows using a micro SD converter by simply running chkdsk.
I bought a genuine 32GB class 4 SanDisk MicroSD.
After about 2 months in my S3 it started continuously mounting/dismounting, then becoming write protected, then not being seen by the phone / computer, I ended up sending it back. Don't know if the card was faulty or the phone 'destroyed' it..
I've had a very similar experience with OP.
My S3 already killed 2 cards and I'm on my 3rd.
The cards are all genuine.
1st one was a patriot 16gb class 10.
2nd was 32gb SanDisk class 10/1.
The problem is that after a while the card would constantly mount/dismount.
Now on my 3rd.

did it just not appear when browser or did you get errors randomly telling you it had dismounted?, were you able to remount and it worked or did it not then mount at all. Did you try to repair by chkdsk /f /r format etc?. I ask this is what mine did after installing a non exfat ROM.

The life time warranty can't regain lost data. Need reliable. This is why I will never buy those cards again

Hello all.
I searched through the forums and couldn't find anything so i thought i would ask here.
huawei says this supports 32gb external sd. i have a 64gb card in there now. i know this may seem like a stupid question, but would it support the 128gb micro sd cards that are out now?
would there be any issues reading the files on it?
Get one and let us know!

waiting on you. Soon as you give me the go ahead i'm ordering one right behind you. My brother has on in a Note 3 so lets see if it works on ours. I have a 64gb in now and its working great.
It should arrive Thursday. I ordered a cheap one on eBay just to see if it reads.

It should work. I asked about 64gb cards and while looking online, found Sandisk's compatibility database. If you search on the HAM2, Sandisk indicates that micro SD cards upto 128 GB should work. http://pct1.sandisk.com/Default.aspx I'm looking forward to your post once you are using your new card.

How cheap is that? if just 20-40 dollars, then they are definitely fake sdcard. mean you can format/read/write all fine and show 128gb, but they can't hold 128gb content. Just be careful and test it throughly before store your valuable pictures on it.
Somebody give an update! Does the 128 work or what? lol? Take screenshot to prove it

I browsed eBay recently, and found several 128GB microSD cards.
Unfortunately, there is no single one which is not fake (at least, I have not found one).
Some of them are sooooo obvious fakes, that I'm getting shocked to see people buying them (some buyers simply don't have brains).
For instance, I saw several so called Samsung PRO 128GB microSD cards (with photos showing that this is anything but Samsung card, if you pay attention to these pictures). In fact, Samsung never released 128GB microSD card (they don't have such product on their web-site).
But some idiots do buy this junk (it's probably a 8GB card hacked to report itself as 128GB).
Recently, I bought Samsung EVO 64GB microSD on eBay (well, first 4 purchases from different sellers were a disaster - all were a counterfeit). One of the sellers was even a power seller (621 feedback, and not a single negative/neutral one).
I was a buyer #45 of that card, previous 44 buyers bought this junk card and left a positive feedback (either they don't know how to check an SD card, or they left a positive feedback too soon, and now they can not change it).
I was the first one who reported (tested with H2testw) that this card is a FAKE.
Still ... people continue to buy (they don't get bothered with a "COUNTERFEIT card" negative feedback).
Seriously?! If you don't pay attention to such feedbacks, you deserve to be scammed
Only the fifth one was genuine EVO 64GB microSD card.
95% of all microSD cards (64GB and larger) on eBay are fake. Make sure you know how to test it BEFORE you start to use it.
Added: genuine EVO 64GB microSD card works just fine in my HAM2 (at full capacity, though had to reformat it inside the phone - HAM2 did not like default exFAT format)
well said, especially the software (h2testw) to test the sdcard.
so after reading all that ebay buyer beware did you get a 128gb and stick it in your phone or not? lol
Well heck, it sure looks like someone would know by now. Wonder why they aren't saying.
If I don't change my mind I am ordering one of these phones tomorrow and will order a 128 gb card to go with it. If it doesn't work I am going to be like the other poster who said they ordered one and not post anymore. Just kidding.
there is a significant difference between 32GB and 64GB cards.
First is SDHC, second is SDXC.
Windows does not even want to format SDXC card using FAT32 type (only NTFS or exFAT are allowed).
Not all (old) devices are compatible with SDXC. Thus, they are stuck with SDHC, which is up to 32GB only.
But there is not big difference between 64GB and 128GB cards. Both are SDXC, after all.
Thus, if device can work with 64GB card (full capacity , not just 32GB), it HAS to work with 128GB either.
How can it not?!
PS: sorry, but I'm not going to spend $90 just to play with 128GB card. I have three 64GB SD cards, and it is enough for me. (I had 16GB card in my old HTC phone, and did not find a significant reason to switch to 32GB).

Did you ever receive this 128GB microSD card off eBay seller?
is it a real card? or is it a fake? (you can use h2testw on it, you don't need to write all 128GB on it, 16GB is enough - most fake cards are 8GB or smaller).
meanwhile, I periodically checking responses of other buyers to the same scammer where I bough my fake Samsung 64GB microSD card. He already sold more then 400 those cards, and only 6 people (including me) left a negative feedback telling that this is a pure fake card (one person tested the speed and reported that read/write speed is about 4x slower then claimed - exactly what I measured on my low quality fake card, but still, he left a positive feedback, because he did not bother to use h2testw).
I also saw that one poor fella bought 24 such cards (in a single purchase) couple of days ago. He just wasted his $500+ for that garbage. Unfortunately, eBay hides the information about buyers now. There is no way to contact this buyer and tell him a truth
I got the 128GB card to work in my Ascend Mate 2.
I did however have to format it to FAT32 (It would not recognise NTFS or EXFAT).
I used a program called guiformat.exe
I hope this helps.
There is a program you have to use to format the card into fat32 i believe. I had to use it for my 64gb to be compatible foe my previous note 2

This is why Amazon is your friend. If someone does you like that you can report them and 99.9% of the time Amazon will side with the buyer.

I would always and highly recommend one format the card in the phone. That way it always works best -- whether it's a phone, camera, etc...
E.g., That's what I did when I got my Sandisk Ultra 64GB C10/UHS-1 (Amazon-US). I stuck it in the HAM2, and it immediately offered to format it (FAT32) when I went to Storage, as it couldn't read it (ExFAT).
BTW, for those that don't know, a few things to always remember ...
- In all NT-based Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8), Microsoft has always defaulted to formatting NTFS and, in more recent years (Windows 7 and 8), ExFAT is offered for devices greater than 32GiB (33.8GB)
- FAT32 has always supported up to 128GiB (137GB), despite the default in Windows' tools, although it does result in a rather large cluster size for 64GB and 128GB devices
- Last time I checked, ExFAT is required for the SDXC branding, and some aspects of UHS performance guarantees, hence why >33.8GB cards come pre-formatted ExFAT
- Because of some of the design to NTFS, tied to the system that created it (long story, has to do with Access Control Entries, ACEs, for security), ExFAT is safer for mobile use
- Microsoft enforces the ExFAT patent far more often, whereas the FAT design has some prior art involved
Again, the easiest way is to just stick the card in and let the device format it. That way it's guaranteed to work with the device. I've just learned to trust this from years of dSLR cameras.
No device I've used in 64 or 128 capacities have given me the ability to physically format within the phone itself. Just reads "Blank card". Then when I tap "Format" it cycles the notification to "Checking card for errors."
Does this on the HAM2, Nvidia Shield, Samsung devices. How are people formatting within their devices?
Also, FWIW I have tested a Sandisk 64GB and 128GB Extreme card (the 128GB is now in the Shield as it's getting quite full of games).
Used "guiformat" (there are a couple other tools floating around) to format to FAT32 (also works on flashdrives and external HDDs).
It works. You can't re-format the card from within the HAM2 though (tested 64/128GB). If you hit "Erase SD Card" it will remount, show "checking for errors", then dismount. And it will continue to do so until you re-format it using a FAT32 program on another machine.
Also, Can't use App2SD but Link2SD works (got "pro" licenses for both).
FWIW both cards were correctly aligned by SDFormatter before being converted, and there are no issues in other devices.
