micro sd card memory use G2mini - LG G2 Mini

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.

32gb micro sdcard compatibility?

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?
Links to where you bought would be great

Anyone one of these will work... I know... I have tried all 3

I thought the limit was 16GB. Now I need to pick up a 32!
32 Gig
I am a newbie and I am confused. I thought the listed memory limit was
32GB, which meant 16 internal and 16 external---so is the 32GB limit for the external, which means 16 internal and 32 external?

Yes until a bigger SD card comes out
wonder if there's a size limit for USB memory. I have 32gb soldered in place internally. Hope I don't run into trouble in the future when I bump that up to 64gb or even 128gb
Lets see you make a 32GB card work in an IPAD2.
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.

[Q] Benefits of having a SD card

So i stumbled across getting a free 64gb class 10 sd card for my note 2 and was wondering what benefits does having a sd card have besides more storage and what more that its class 10? Im a noob to the whole sd cards with phones as i usually never buy sd cards but with this one being free i said sure why not. I would also like to know if there are any performance enhancements with having this sd card now? I appreciate the help ahead of time
Why wouldnt you want more storage lol...i have like 11gb of music on my sd card you can put movies on it anything..and there are ways to swap your internal memory and sdcard so you could theoretically have 64gb of internal memory...i gota 32gb card if ya wanna trade hahah

Thinking of formating my 64GB MicroSDXC Card

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.

[Q] Larger SD Card For CM

Hi! I recently purchased a 32gb sd card for cm10.2 for my nook tablet, but I heard that you have to do something different with the partitions for bigger sd cards. I have worked with a 4 gb sd card, but i didn't have enough space for apps and such, so I purchased a 32 gb. I'm fine with using the same amount of space for the 32gb card as i used the 4gb card, but not more space. What do I do? Thanks!

128gb micro sd cards that work properly as internal storage

Hello.
I 've been reading a lot of (bad) stories with micro sd incompatibilities.
Since i want to use mine as internal storage, i want to be certain that it will work
I am between samsung (the new red pro ones,20mb/sec) and the new toshiba excesior ones (30mb/sec write, 2016 model).
Anyone had any luck with these?
Should they be ntfs formatted when inserted in the tablet?
Thanks in advance.
Hi vadergr,
i tested some different sd cards twoe 64 gb class 10 cards (samsung and lexar), they are verry slow for me. So i decided to buy a sandisk microSD extreme Pro with 64 gb but hab no luck with it, because the card was dead on arrival. So i went to my tech store and by a 128gb Sandisk Ultra, an now i'm fine with it. Fast reading speed (44mb/s) and solid write speed (23mb/s). All in all its ok and the tablet runs verry well with it. I run on Android 7 nougat and use the SD as internal storage.
128gb Sandisk Ultra
Greetings

I used Memento EXpert 128GB from memorette. I tested it out on PC, make a full read/ write to make sure it has got full capacity and then insert into the tablet. One interesting thing is the tablet recognized the card as Lexar Media (which is quite reputable). I formatted it as the internal storage.
So far, apart from heating up during game-plays, it is quite stable.

I had issues with mine set up as internal storage after i went past 128GB of data on it. went back to my Samsung 128GB Pro microSDXC and worked like a champ. the 256 works well as external storage. I did notice longer boot times with the more data i added to the micro sd card. i opted to stay away from internal storage for now.
