[Q] micro sdxc 64gb Card to SGS2?

Is it possible that SGS2 would manage micro sdxc 64gb Card?

gsmarena says no
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_ii-3621.php
but they could be wrong?

SDHC host -could- be compatible with SDXC card, but...
From what I'm understanding in the link below, the hardware in our handset won't be the problem with accepting an SDXC card... but we'll be waiting on Android to recognize such a card.

Sir you are correct, thats indeed the current problem. Although it is not a very big problems, since linux doesnt see the difference, thus accepting sdxc cards This could be fixed with a software update. Lets hope Samsung is watching us here

hm.... !!!

How hard would it be for a dev to implement it do you think?

Not that difficult IMHO.... Because hardware requirement for both types of cards are the same.... So only the cost factor & availability of high capacity storage are minimal. Hence they are not used commonly....
Otherwise imagine sgs2 utilizing 2TB of storage from sdxc ????? WOW !!!!!!
That would be sexy..... Devs are you listening ????

Any news with 64gb on sgs2? I know this is dead topic since a while, but there's 2.3.4 leaked already, anyone checked is it works now / discover how to make 64gig fully working?

Unfortunately, there don't appear to be any microSDXC cards on the market at the moment -- even full-size SDXC cards are a bit hard to come by.

Just HOW MUCH storage do you folks need
I'll get a 32GB SD card after ive purchased some other accessories first and that for me will be more than enough.

Exactly, I bought a 32gb card. It will record about 4 hours of HD video from camera! I do a lot of transferring.

[Q] 64gb micro sd - is it compatable?

has anyone tested these new 64 gb micro sd cards on the dinc?
i've been waiting so long for more space, but don't want to spend 150$ on a sd card that isn't compatable
any info would be greatly appreciated
thank you!

No it is not compatible. The Incredible can only handle up to 32gb. Here is the specs page for the Incredible. http://www.htc.com/us/products/droid-incredible-verizon#tech-specs
Why would you need that much storage on a phone anyways?

first of all, my question was about if anyone here had personally tried it.
second, it is b/c of articles like this that lead me to believe it is worth trying:
http://pocketnow.com/android/how-well-are-android-phones-handling-64gb-sdxc-memory-cards
and lastly, i want to have a lot of good quality music on hand(clouds suck)
so, seeing that i am rather poor at this time, i wanted to see if someone here was using it
thanks anyway....

If the galaxy s can do it, why can't the incredible?

the OG Evo can and the droind incredible are very similar phones mostly the same chipsets give or take the og evo's wimax

Maybe only 32gb was supported as that was the highest available when testing or 64gb was not reliable then. Who knows? Good to hear it works tho.

Any phone that can handle 32G SD's can use 64. Just formate it to 32 or what ever it is. Sorry for the stupidly written answer. Sick+Nyquil= Weirdness.

The formatting option is FAT32 by the way.
And to make 64gb not work would take more work than making it work as they'd have to intentionally code something to block it which I know they didn't.

Works on the Droid Incredible
Just installed a new SanDisk 64GB MicroSD card in my HTC Droid Incredible and it worked for me too. Let the phone format the card and then copied the contents of my old 2GB card to the 64GB. All my apps & music are on the new card and working fine.

I thought are phone only support up to 32GB of removable memory. I had a 16GB, but decided to get a Samsung Class 10 32GB since it was a great deal and I think that's more than enough for me lol.

It is only supposed to support up to 32gb but I am pretty sure I read somewhere that someone was using a 64gb. I wouldnt be surprised if 64gb worked just fine.

Ok from what Ive seen, the camera and camcorder no longer tells you how many pictures/video time is remaining. Is that atleast correct?
Sent from a phone with kNOw CiQ kOnane...

I ordered two and have used these befofe the sdxc system in the micro sd cards seem to be read as sdhc so that these phones can support it. On an evo even it reads perfectly fine. On the ET4G I havent checked the camera information but it does transfer at 30mb/s (read/write fluctuate between 15-20mb on actual transfer and write is just a bit higher).

Too much disk space, therefore more time spent taking pics/vids/watching movies resulting in angry wives/gf's feeling neglected?

ordered.. thanks!

I have been using the 64gb sdxc card for about a month now. It works great!
When I first installed it my phone did not recognize it. Easy fix....
1.menu
2.Settings
3.Storage
4.Unmount SD card
5.Format SD card
The only minor issue I have had is "media scan" can sometimes take a little long if I have too much media saved on the SD card. I usually just place a period in front of large folders that contain movies and private photos. This will hide the contents of the folder from the "media scan".Then I just access them with ES file explorer. The media scan never takes anymore than a couple seconds and its NOT really an issue.
Also for some strange reason Windows will not recognize the card when plugged in to the computer directly but My Mac will. When transferring files from Windows I just use the USB cord and transfer via mass storage or MTP Application.
BUY IT NOW!!! You will not regret it.

I forward this to a few techy friends, we always share deals. One of them stated that this site is known for selling counterfeit SD cards...any truth to that? I would hate to dish out this type of money for a fake card.

Don't know if it's widespread or isolated incidents.
http://photo.net/digital-camera-forum/00LQNF
The above is from 2007 though, so I don't know if it's relative to today.
After extensive Googling, I have come to this conclusion:
There are hardly any incidents about fake SanDisk cards from Adorama.
There is the one incident above, which may have stuck in peoples minds over the years, but is not indicative of a widespread problem.
Most of all that I read about Adorama is positive, or neutral.
Adorama is in NYC, and is in direct competition with B&H Photo, another reputable Dealer to buy electronics from, so I don't think either wants to blow it, so to speak.
The above is just my opinion, but if Adorama had issues with widespread SanDisk problems, I likely would have found it.
Out of the 2 stores above, I usually shop at B&H Photo, whether in store or online. No particular reason other than I went to B&H Photo years ago, and have continued to go there if the price is right. I've been to Adorama once also, and had no issues. I actually purchased recently a SanDisk 16GB Class 6 card from B&H Photo, but purchased the Samsung 32GB Class 10 card a couple of weeks afterwards from another Dealer.

Adorama advertises a lot on 660 AM WFAN sports radio. Pretty big name. I'd be surprised if they wouldn't work with someone who received a bad or fake card.

Found this video with the card being used HERE

Thanks Biker1 & The Root for the feedback... I am yet to get let down from buying a product that I heard from a member on xda developers...even more recommended.

They call them mensches. As a chosen person I'm sold. I believe the store is closed on Friday night and Saturday for sabbath.

Anytime.
I don't have the card, but from what I've read, I wouldn't hesitate to get it if I was looking for a 64GB card, and Adorama seems like a safe bet

Why do they say this is a 16gb phone when its only 10gb?

When you open up the internal memory via pc it says its only 10gb? wheres my other 6 gb?

^^^^^^^ This.
And, just like any other HDD advertised, there's rounding involved. That 250GB HDD you bought is actually only 236GB, or something like that. It's all about them rounding and dividing by 1000 instead of the proper 1024.

I believe my GS3 had more than 10 though?

The GS3 also doesn't have S Note and all the files required for the S Pen framework. It would make a little more sense.
In any case, the proper solution to this thread and its question is to man up and buy a 32GB MicroSD for $20-$30. It's a better solution anyways IMO. If you switch devices for any reason, all your important files are already on your MicroSD and ready to go. I switched to the GNII from an EVO 3D and I didn't have to copy over all my music and ringtones or other important files. I just put my my MicroSD in and everything was there.

Do a backup and you will see where it all goes, adds up quick on a beast like this. Largest back up on a phone ive had yet if im not mistaken it was a hair over 4gb

df -h shows 10.3G
I see total available memory as 10.3G, with only 2.3G free space. I'm on CM 10.2 on Galaxy Note 2. I went to TWRP, wiped internal storage, but still doesn't help.
df -h shows filesystem as 10.3G only - where is the other 6G? Why is it not getting used for custom ROM installation?

Partitioning

Partitioning is why.
Rounding isn't why.
It is because the user-usable-storage partition and the normally-non-editable system partition are counted together. Which makes no sense to common people, but makes perfect sense to advertising agents.

yep, it's that 6GB that samsung reserves for the system partition on just about all the devices they make. seems the should start adding 16GB , 10 useable like they used to do with old school monitors.

Are you new to computers, file storage, formatting, partitioning or just technology in general? The computer you're using to be online and on this website, what do the specs list as it's hard drive and what is really available? That 32GB microSD card you say you have, let me not shock you but if you look it up, it's really not 32GB, but ~ 28GB or so (give or take), really. The industry is to blame..really.

Question appears to be answered. Time to close an unnecessary thread.

Mini MicroSD Card Reader for Android by Meenova (Expandable Storage for your N5)

Hey guys, so I thought I might write my opinion on this awesome piece of technology that is called Mini MicroSD Card Reader for Android.
First, for those of you who are not familiar with it:
This thing allows you to have expandble storage for you Nexus (or almost any other Android phone).
I bought it because I like installing a lot of ROMs, watching a lot of movies, etc. So all I have to do is to hook the Micro SDcard reader into my Nexus 5 and just like that, all of my data is there.
This is the link to their website: http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html
It even comes with a little keychain holder. It so small and compact that you wouldn't even regret spending 12$ on it. And you can even pick a color.
Note: For this to work, you need to install a free app from the Play Store called "StickMount". It's made by Chainfire, and it's free, although you can purchase it to support him.
I attached some photos down below and I also urge you to watch some videos about how simple it is.
Continue watching other videos about this, just so that you would be sure that you want it: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mini+micro+sd+card+reader+meenova
I bought it and Im very happy with it. It works perfectly.

I have and it works normally.

There's Already a thread on this. You could've just posted your thought on it in that thread

Works like a champ!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Wish they would have put some more thought/design into the USB adapter.
Otherwise, this looks like a great item. On the fence about getting one.

Breakdown of the reader
I used it for several months with no problem at all.
Exfat and NTFS worked with card to 64gb in FAT32...
Recently, it is not any more recognized on telephone or computer.
Tested with various cards : 4gb, 8gb, 32gb and 64gb.
Under different format.
Anybody had this problem?
Thank you

I had the same problem. It was dead. They replaced it for free...all they required were a few pictures of the meenova not functioning.

Do we require root access to use this on our Nexus 5 ?

Not if you use Nexus Media Importer. For Stickmount,the answer is yes.

I'm not sure how good it is, but it's 4 times cheaper, so might be worth it? Slightly bigger though, as it also has the usb to pc connection. There were a few other different ones on that site, might be worth a look if you don't mind waiting 20 days for china to ship it to you

Micro USB to Type A Adapter
FWIW, the Meenova comes with a micro USB to type A adapter that allows it to be used with a notebook or PC without removing the SD card. Of course that can be purchased separately and probably doesn't justify the cost differential but I also think the Meenova reader is smaller and lighter which could be a factor if you plan to move the phone while using it.

It might be a problem with your micro SD card. Try checking for errors using "Tools" in properties for the drive on a PC or notebook.
