This would be a nice addition for our Galaxy S II

Does the SGSII support micro SDXC? I've read conflicting reports.
Nope, it only supports SDHC, not SDXC.
Any SD card over 32GB is an SDXC card. Which the SGS2 is not compatible with.
yea as far as i've read, sgs2 supports only up to 32gb sdcards.
why would u need such a cards.. 32g is more then enough, especially if u own 32gb version of device..
To each his own. I filled up my 16gb sdcard with music and podcasts...need more space

Very silly question. if i had a 500gb microsd i could still fill it with ease.
Can 64GB sdcard put in Galaxy S2?
This is why there will be SGS 3
too bad it cnat read SDXC my 32 gb sdhc is almsot full after 2 days
why not? afaik, the hardware should be able to read it, just at lower speeds (as even a "SD 1.0" reader is able to read SDXC, you just need the drivers...), and android supports eXfat, too.... so it SHOULD support it.... but not quite sure about that.... greets
Sgs2 can only support up to 32gb max (microsd) ,so who cares about this crap
And tell me how you're going to install drivers on your phone... sigh

its nice to have a 64gb microSD SDXC .. the SDXC can be upgraded upto 2TB within 5~10years .. just imagine a phone with 2TB microSD

I think there's a lot of regurgitating of essentially "what the box says" in this thread. You are correct, the hardware interface of SDHC and SDXC is exactly the same, so our hardware completely supports these new cards. The question is in software, which is hard to tell from what I've read. Wikipedia has this little gem to say:
"Other operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem."
Since Android does support exFAT as you point out, it seems fairly plausible that these new cards would work in the GSII.

Early micro SDHC devices only officially supported up to 16gb cards, but could read 32gb cards. So what it "supports" isn't clear, since drivers may not be needed at all.

I've always been amongst the first to adopt higher storage micro SD cards (ever since the 4GB ones came out). At every step the official specs for phones only said compatible up to the previous highest storage amount, and yet they worked. This is a different standard, so higher chance it won't work, but nevertheless there is a chance they may work.

As far as i can see the artemis is not compatible with SDHC cards, this may be possible with a patch or rom upgrade - so guys dont rush out and buy one it most probably will not work.

damn it. I'm super interested in one of these. fingers crossed
think its more hardware support that you need for SDHC, not entirly sure of this though
I read on another site that SDHC is basically FAT32 rather than FAT16.
If this is the case does that mean it could or couldn't be handled in software?
So, it looks like there's already a SDXC card. It's 32GB and read/write speed can hit 50MB/s. Not too shabby. Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody knows about any work being done on a driver for this; either by HTC or a third party.

I'm sure there is work being done, but not for any devices currently in existence. SDXC is not compatible with SD/SDHC devices.
Current expectations are for SDXC devices to begin hitting the market around the first of the year, according to CNET.
Which, of course, is a vast conspiracy aimed directly at me, since I was planning to get a Touch Pro 2 just about that time of year, and within 6 months HTC will come out with an SDXC-capable device.
doies this mean the 32 gb sdhc has been cancelled
i heard the 32 gb sd would be a hc not a xc

FYI, 32GB SDHC cards are already in existance, however, I am guessing that you mean 32GB microSDHC cards. In that case...
If you recall, 4GB preSDHC cards never got made by major manufacturers when the SDHC spec came out (even though 4GB was the theoretical preSDHC max). However, small manufacturers did make the 4GB cards and they were easily obtainable on eBay. I infact have a 4GB miniSD from back them.
I would guess that even if the major manufacturers do the same, that is skip over 32GBmicroSDHC cards, the gap will be filled by smaller manufactuers looking to make a buck.
no ui was just wondering
id heard report on a 32 and 128 gb micro sdhc cards
i was wondering if the sdxc was taking over this

32GB has always been proclaimed as the theoretical limit to SDHC, as I understand it - in the sense that it might be possible to create that much storage on one, but no had done it yet, so it's not proven. However, more than 32GB is not possible with the SDHC standard, so if you heard reports of 128, it was likely referring to SDXC.
I image that once SDXC hits the market, SDHC probably won't have much more than 4 or 5 years of practical life left in it as device makers migrate exclusively to the more advanced technology - rather like you don't see many floppy drives anymore.
Has anyone tried a 64gb MicroSD in the Epic 4g yet? It seems like they work in the S2.
The cost is still ridiculous, but in a few months it should be down to a reasonable price.

The SD / microSD spec only allows up to 32 gb. Anything over that is likely SDxc, which isn't supported by the Epic.

True, but from what I understand it is limited only by software, and when formatted to FAT32 it works on the S2, Epic Touch and Evo 3D. None of which officially support SDXC.

You got me to read up a little on the format and I learned something. I guess with some clever formatting tricks and setting the proper bits in the MBR an SDXC card that supports the 3.0 standards (whatever they are) can appear to be a SDHC card and be formated FAT32. So then it seems totally OS dependent whether the phone will read a properly formated 64GB card.
I stand corrected.
I just received my brand new SanDisk microSD XC 64Gb.
Took some time to copy all data from my previous 32Gb microSD.
I ejected the 32Gb and replaced it by the 64Gb ... Glide wasn't able to detect the card ... at all !
On windows, file system info is : extFAT (not FAT32).
I read somewhere that most of the latest phones are compatible with this new 64Gb card.
Does this mean that current Glide ROM doesn't have the extFAT drivers embeded ?
I'll try later this 64Gb memory card on a HTC doubleshot (MT4GS).
So, more to come !
Edit : it works .... microSD 64GB needs to be formated with the device (Glide) !
You probably already know this but, the manual states that it supports up to 32GB Micro SDHC only.

Yes, I do know this.
But it has been reported that latest HTC and Samsung devices (Galaxy S II) can read/write this type of microSD card, even if user manual states that device supports only 32GB SDHC.
So I was wondering... why not our device...
I remember seeing that if you format the card on the phone first it should work and recognize all 60ish GBs. This was on a SGS2 though.

Do you actually get the 30MB/Sec transfer speed the Micro XD card supports on the Glide? Just wondering as it normally does not support that card so are you reaping the full benefits in size and speed?

Size: My previous 32GB was full. I copied all that stuff on the new 64GB and added a few more (large) files. So it does the trick, for now.
Speed : I used SD Tools and it gave these results:
Writing speed : 7.1 MB/s
Reading speed: 18.9 MB/s (with a peak at more than 23MB/s)
This is no 30MB/s but it works great.
Thank you for confirming this, I'm liking this phone even more now!
So it's not slower than a officially supported MicroSD card? have you noticed any read/write lags, delays or any other issues?
No, no lags at all (for now).
I can listen to music (stored quite a lot on it), watch movies with a decent bitrate.
It is not the fastest card I've ever seen, but it does its job and brings large storage capacity !
* Up to 30 MB/sec read speed. Write speed lower. Based on SanDisk internal testing; performance may be lower depending on host device. 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes.

My 8GB Sandisk only managed 3.9MB/s Write and 8.3 MB/s read using sd tools so I think these results are great and definitely show a bright future for this phone.
I ordered it from Amazon, it's own its way!

Bought a 64gb Sandisk Sdxc from the online shop you have linked: it never worked, with any mobile up to a Galaxy S3, not just my Captivate Glide, nor my friends smartphones.
Also, using the sdxc with the provided adaptor didn't work either, with many different computers. The SDXC is never recognized by anything.
Every time I have inserted the card on a device, it started overheating.
I have asked mobymemory to either replace the item or refund my money, they never replied.
To me these makes them a bit shady as sellers, not likely to be legit, if not total scammers.
Actually this 64.GB works really great.
Got it working in the captivated glide, and now it works as well in my S3 !
Fyi: I also used it with a S2 (no format required after initial format with the Glide).
No overheating in any of these devices.
The only thing you have yo keep in mind is format the sdxc with the Glide (at least once). Then phone will be able to use it. Using the adapter will allow you to use it with Windows platforms...
Don't try to format it with windows... Glide won't recognize it at all.
About mobymemory, I bought from these guys a few memory cards (micro .sd, CF, ...) : never had any issues with these. Right now I think they are quite reliable.
Hope it helps !

The stuff you wrote is obvious. I am speaking about the fact that it's impossible to format; that the adaptor doesn't work, and that the SDXC overheats, doesn't matter where I put it. Their service is completely unresponsive.
Good for you that it worked (for you), but given I bought from them after solely reading your post, I am not accusing you but I want to warn others, so they can compare two very different experiences with the same online store (they look to be an ebay also) and product, and make their decision.
Anyone uses these type of memory cards on ICS? Any experiences?

128GB cards will work, as to when they'll hit the market who knows. I'm hoping no later than October-ish this year, which would be one year after the 64GB cards. I will get one at release regardless of cost and confirm they are working in various handsets for everyone. Cannot come soon enough for me, had my 64GB since a few days after they were released and just not adequate for my needs.
The Galaxy SII Skyrocket is only rated to handle a 32GB microSD card, but easily works w/64GB microSD cards also.
So I'd be willing to bet the SIII would do just fine with a 128GB card.
My wallet on the other hand... :silly:

It would be handy for people that want to play blurays either on their phone or through the HDMI out. Or for audiophiles that listen to lossless audio which takes up around 10 times the storage (which sound absolutely AMAZING with the wolfson DAC and voodoo). Or maybe they just want to never run out of storage?
A 32 gb card will only hold around 100-150 lossless songs, and an avg size mp3 you could have around 1000-1500. A HQ bluray rip avg size is around 8gb, which can only be played on SDXC because regular cards aren't formatted to allow playback of files over 4gb.
