Yes I'm using a 64gb sdxc right now.
Format the chip when thou first insert it in settings. 64 seems too be enough for me

@rushing,
How did you get it to work.
I just got my 64gb microsd sdxc.
At first the phone said that it format was not supported.
Originally it was exfat format, so I decide to format it to a FAT32.
Now, The phone goes beserk when I insert it, the UI, media process force closes.
I inserted back the 32GB, then the phone goes back to normal
thanks in advance for your help

I also have a 64GB SDXD in my T-989. It works wonderfully, until I attempted to format it with anything other than fat32. However, today I found an app that let me format the entire sd card in ext4 and it auto-mounts on boot. That app is called NTFS Mounter [https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ntfs+mounter&c=apps] by Uladzimir Kazakevich. You will need root on your phone to use it.

Help Help

Help beginning to regret replacing my iPhone for the note 2 because I only have 10gig to play with.
I rooted the note 2 using Odin recommended way that was no problem, I am still with the stock rom at this point and I also have a SanDisk Ultra Android 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 card what I didn’t know is that you can’t use app2sd to any more
so I tried to use app2sdNote2 script and that worked ok but when I took photos the would not work on the SD card (that’s now the internal 10gb) they were just a blank black image so I then put the camera to store on the internal (now 64gb)
that was fine so I then moved the Pics to the SD card 10gb and again they were just a blank black image again, So I then put the note 2 back to normal and started again this time I use Directory Bind 0.2 0o but could not get that to work
I tried to move Google music, explained on xda-developers : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34770900&postcount=9 and it still saved the files to the internal and SD card????
Please can someone explain how I can use the 64 GB for apps?? Do I need to use a custom Rom if so what is the best rom to use and how to flash the rom in newbie terms
I would love to use this great bit of Tec, please, please can someone me help I am new to all this.
the link to the site is for some years back.

Help Please can some one help. Sorry it’s a bit long I need help.
Thank you for your time

You're going to have to partition your SD card so that its partially FAT32 (or exFAT, whichever one you use) and partially an EXT journaling filesystem. You then install Link2SD. From there you can make symlinks that make the phone think that the app is stored on the Internal storage, but are really stored on the SD.
Link2SD: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD

This worked great on my Nexus One, I've never tried it on my Note 2 before though, so good luck.

Download gl to SD from play store and u can move data from games to SD apps2sd doesn't work on note 2 and s3. So the app will be installed on the internal and any game data will be moved using gl to SD

Apps to SD card?

I was looking for something that can allow me to manually move spacific apps to SD card.
Is there something that will allow me to do that?
I know there's the appext2sd but that makes the phone think that the SD card is the internal memory.

I am not hostile. I am just trying to understand why the internal SD card is all used up. When you set up the games, typically they have setting that will move the game data files to external SD.
On another note, despite the games, what else do you have on internal sd that's sizeable ?

im looking for the same thing, i have a 64gb card but the rom i am using it wont work with it (using wicked rom on tmo s3).
the card is exfat format and the apps2sd doesnt work...
i have like thousands of mp3s, games/aps and gps stuff etc thats taking up everything...
i was told that if i was to format the exfat to fat it will work just fine and the rom will read it like a normal sd card and we can use the apps2sd app and itll read the 64gb card as normal storage and we can keep the phones memory basically free?
some say yes and others no just want a definitive answer to this because i love the wicked rom and with a 64gb card..
so far i have been using a mod here that is called 11extsd2internalsd, which makes the sd card primary storage and the phones memory secondary.. would be nice not to have to use that and use the card as normal
thanks

Do a favor. Take the Sd Card to a PC and format under Windoz for Fat32. No Quick Format there.

Are you using a custom kernel? Wicked is stock based so it should be able to read exFat. If you are using a custom kernel, that may be why it doesn't work, it may not have the correct modules. (Especially if the kernel is md5 based. Wicked is LJC I'm pretty sure).
Either way though, if you reformat the card to Fat32, it will be more compatible across non touchwiz roms, and would probably be so for you now as well. But I'd use a stock kernel personally. Never had any real issues with them, and you'd probably get to use the card as it was intended.

Do you have a V500 or V510? I have a Sandisk SDHC Class 10 32gb card on my V500 and it works fine...

I would try to format it to fat32. Also, what are you using it for? If you want to move apk's, you will have to use something like link2sd. If it is just for media, no worries.

Thanks for reply?

This isn't normal. I would first try a different player. If it's not the player, then I would suspect a corrupted SD card. Have you used the sdcard on another device? I mean, a current device. Doubtful it is the tablet, but you never know.

A friend has problems with a SanDisk Ultra 200GB on Galaxy S 4 Mini with stock ROM.. The micro SD card is not recognized. Is that perhaps a formatting issue? Are your cards formatted as FAT32 or exFAT?

exFAT. Recently I have also used a 256 GB Samsung card without issue (filled more than 50% with data). I have been using CyanogenMod and Lineage ROM for a long time now so I am not sure if Stock ROM could be an issue.

Not possible on any S4 Mini because the maximum allowed size is 64 GB.

That seems to answer one question it is not the hardware that is the limitation but rather the version of Android software running in Galaxy S4 phone. I could not get Samsung to answer this question directly. Samsung official position is 64GB is the maximum.
I am going to test 128GB micro SD in S4 standard ROM (AOS 5.0.1) try and fill it with test data and see what happens. From your comment it looks like it would be best for me to follow your example and install CyanogenMod or Lineage custom ROM to use a 128GB micro SD in the S4 (that will be my next test).
It is hard to know if I am dependant on any Samsung features as some are not obvious if all you have ever used is Samsung Android. I moved to Quickpic app for local photo management but have read Samsung apps are better for picture taking do you know anything about that?
Can you install apps to load from micro SD card using exFat on CyanogenMod or Lineage ROM in Galaxy S4?
Are there any features you "lost" moving to 3rd party ROM on the Galaxy phone that you really missed?

I have used larger than 64 GB micro SD without issues even with stock Android 4.2 on the S4 Mini. My feeling is that the 64 GB limit is somehow arbitrary and originates from the time where nothing bigger than 64 GB was available. The theoretical limit should be 2 TB.
I have been using Samsung Apps as well as Quickpic and both are alright, maybe depending on personal priorities. Quickpic though is only for organizing pictures, not shooting them AFAIK.

Yes, but the amount of internal memory you are saving is only very small as a lot of data will still be saved in internal. You could use the SD card als adopted storage though, meaning you will have huge internal memory then. The downsides are that the memory becomes much slower than before and you cannot take out the SD card anymore.

No.

For testing I tried to insert a 128GB uSD and my S4 mini VE (GT-i9195i) sees it perfectly. Both by checking the memory setting menu inside the phone and on the PC by connecting it to USB.
microSD - Samsung EVO (Yellow) 128GB [100MB read - 100MB write].
GT-i9195i VE - Android Kit Kat 4.4.4, TWRP 3.3.1-0, SuperSU Pro V2.82

With Lineage 18.1 or later I can confirm 512GB microSD works without problems.
