So who's inbox do we flood at google...

To let them know we dont like the fact there is no micro sd slot? Or we could get.everybody to blackball sales of it but all you tech junkies dont have the.nerve to not get your latest high. So how about it?

Not about flooding somebodys inbox. Im sure some developers would like to input on what they might want for the jelly bean phone.

I actually don't care about no sdcard. I'll be buying the 32G HSPA+ version when that comes out supporting TMo. I have had no issues with my sdcardless nexus s.
If you don't like it, get a different phone.

An SD card slot would've been nice but it's too late to do anything for the GN. Here's hoping that the next Nexus included one.

Nexus line will never have sd card slots.... "Music" "Picassa" "Docs" even Chrome now, all cloud storage, all Google owned, hence no need for an sd card from Google's perspective. Like another post said... deal with it.... or don't buy. Simple as that.

They are moving away from the sd card...u can still access memory from pc to transfers...they want u to use the cloud...picasa...google music...etc...sorry but don't think google will change that...and honestly...I like that...what makes google cool...want a sd card...RZR.

I don't care. I put a card in and never take it out anyway. My only beef is that I'm limited to 32.

Removable storage is so yesteryear. Its like having a removable hard drive in a PC.
I've owned an android device for 3 years, and I've never needed to remove the SD card.
Transfer of files through ftp or usb worked perfectly fine for me.
As long as its 32gb I'm good to go.

there's no SD Card for a reason. They are starting to push their cloud services such as google music. Cloud is the future and the Nexus is brand is supposed to be about the future of devices. So either Sh*t or get off the pot.

Doesn't bother me at all TBH.

Cloud? I guess everybody has unlimited data. And cloud is contributing to global warming.

Alot of negativity...
I also think its pretty crappy with no sdcard slot. Mostly because of the small amount of space but also some of the flexibility.
With the better screen you probebly want better quality on your movies, atleast i do. Sure i cant plow trough all movies on my phone but i dont want to exchange my stuff on the sdcard all the time.
32GB is in my eyes today a very small amount and you fill it very very fast. If it had been maby 128GB i would have been satisfied.
And its such a cheap and simple thing to put in there to. Its not without reason almost all other phones have it. And its almost a dealbreaker for me.
And the cloud... cmon... are all ignorant bigcityboys?... i dont even have 2g cover in my house...

Why are people saying that the nexus line doesn't do SD cards?
I know my Nexus One had one.
That being said, I haven't actually used an SD card for about 3 phones now.

I couldn't care less about the lack of an SD card.

SD Card Thread

As you guys know (or if you don't, you will now) that many manufacturers are releasing phones in which do not have an external SD card and are banging us over by providing really low storage option inside of phones. What got me thinking is that there is a 64GB SD card on sale for 40 bucks at certain retailers and i wanted to buy one and then i came out with the thought that, almost every new phones coming out doesn't have a slot for the SD card. Sure the s3 does but i wont have the s3 forever. What would you guys do?
I know some say, turn to cloud but lets be realistic (at least here in the states). For starters, t mobile doesn't have the best coverage meaning internet is not available everywhere which means if you go visit grandma's farm, you are bored to death and forced to play with cows or ride horses (although riding horses should make you put your phone down lol). Lets say you have glorious verizon with its "great" LTE network and coverage. Well then you are stuck at 2GB or what ever plan you have. point is that you are stuck, so once over the threshold, you are going to get rocked with a fee.
Taking a more personal look, my SD card consists mostly of music (7GB, 800 songs and counting..I like my songs high quality ala 320kbps mp3/aac or 1000kbps Flac), I have 2 nandroids (1 for stock TW JB and the other for AOSP...you know these can make dents on the SD card, apps that require large amounts of data on the SD card.) so right off the bat, i dont need a 64 gb but i know in the future (give or take 2 years, ill HAVe to go that high.)
What are your thoughts? should i just get it anyway? what do you think can be done to get the attention of manufacturers about this issue? any other thoughts?

I'm pretty sure that Samsung has no plans to get rid of the sd card slot.

Being a professional photographer on the side... I will give you this advic - nothing less than a class 10 card, and nothing else besides sandisk or PNY

I've heard enough about how finicky the 64Gb cards can be that I decided to go for 32Gb. 32Gb is only $20. If $20 is still more than you want to spend, 16Gb is like, $10 or less. For $10, does it really matter if you're going to use it forever ? I mean, the phone likely cost many times that and has a limited lifespan of its own.
Just get whatever you're comfortable paying for.

I just bought a SanDisk 32G sd card, but it won't mount. When I try, it said blank sdcard or unsupported files. I tried formatting it but I get the same message. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am confused why the biggest concern for people when buying these things is simply cost. Sure you can pick up a 32 GB card for 10 bucks... But when it crashes on you a year from now, and the cheap ones typically do, don't come posting a thread here asking why it doesn't mount or why all of your stuff is mysteriously missing from your card. QUALITY people... Not quantity. Its like putting $30 tires on your Ferrari and wondering why it doesn't handle the way it is supposed to. I have had my PNY class 10 card for almost 2 years now with no issues, and yes it was a little more expensive but it is way more reliable than these cheap ass Kingston and no name class 2 or 4 cards that people throw into these things.
Both of the sandisks I have owned have crashed on me. A 16 and 8 GB. Never again will I cheap out on SD cards. Its not worth losing 2 years or a year's worth of data.

I've been buying 32s and compatible 64s every chance I get.
SD slots will be with us for the long haul.

i'm sure more devices will come out without SDCard and removable batteries...
i was actually quite surprised the Galaxy S3 got both good deals, since the Galaxy Nexus had no removable storage..and then HTC came along with their brilliant plan of the One Series...

I totally disagree! I don't think Nexus phones set the standard. I do understand that Google would like to gently nudge us all into using the cloud, but I will go kicking and screaming all the way. I hope they come to their senses and support choice like they should.

Get it.
I think you should get it. You might need it down the road. And even if you don't need it right away, it's still be handy to have. I have a 16GB card now, but I'll get a 32 or higher later on.
And you're right, these lack of SD slots are crazy.

Got the 64GB for Christmas.
If anyone is interested..this is where my sister/brother bought it from...

I think the bigger question is whether we should start training ourselves to use the cloud rather than relying on our sd cards. But I still say the answer is no. Samsung is a big enough player that they can dictate design rather than be dictated to. I don't think they'll abandon these removable parts anytime soon. Maybe in 5 years, Samsung will have their own cloud offering and will force us to use it in lieu of local storage. MAYBE.

I think we really lack the infrastructure to go cloud-only for things like music and movies. The cell towers aren't everywhere - many people can't stream everything even if they want to. People still want to watch movies or listen to music on an airplane without having to pay (or compete for bandwidth if the air carrier is nice enough to let people have at it for free).
I think there are many valid situations when the cloud is simply not an option.

I would buy it. I got a SanDisk 64th class 10 for$39.99 at best buy online a while ago. I am on completely stock with root only and using the apps2external mod by zedomax . Now I have 60gb internal storage and my regular internal storage is now my external storage . Quite convenient...

I don't want to damage it or my phone in the process of removing it. so far, I've just not worried about it, but at some point I'll want to eject it...

It sounds like an issue with your phone. Do you have the problem with other cards as well? The mechanism to eject its part of the phone hardware and really not related to the card. My card ejects fine. I just have to push it in and it will then be ejected...

[Q] 16GB or 32GB

After ATT has screwed me (took away my $10/mo media net unlimited data for my iphone4), I've decided to switch to Sprint and switch to the GS3, since who knows when the iphone5 will be jailbroken. Plus I really want to play with Android. That said, Amazon Wireless has the 16gb version for $0.01 and the 32gb version for $49.99. So, is double the amount of space worth $50? I have 100gb google drive thanks to a Chromebook so I doubt I'll have any real issues.
Also, are there any issues that would discourage getting a 32gb model (e.g. Certain awesome custom roms only work on 16gb version, etc.)?
Thanks.

I haven't heard of any issues with the 32gb. I have a 16GB with a 16gb sd card. No issues.. I don't keep alot on my phone either way.. You'll love the S3 tho.As for roms, Search a little,, read a few post.. You'll find a good fit for you! Most of all, welcome to the family!

If I had a choice I would get the 32 gb version, I'm a storage space junkie. The 16 gb is more widespread so I see more development related to that. It does have a card slot and 64 gb cards work in it. I have only had this phone for about a month and have only run the stock rooted rom, so I'm not sure if the size difference matters with roms or not. I'm sure someone else will chime in here and help though. Welcome aboard!

Are the 16 and 32 so different that they are developed separately?
Also, OP, I and many others paid $50 for the 16GB about 3 weeks ago, which was a steal. I would drop $50 for a 32GB without thinking twice.

Well then, I'll definitely spend the extra 50 on the 32 gig version for me. My mother and father are also on my plan, and they will each be getting a gs3, but the 16gb version. I probably won't put any custom roms on theirs, but I might just go ahead and root them so I can just email them .apk files of apps and they can install them.

Go ahead with the 32Go, do not choose 16 !
If you choose 16, you will only have 11 Go of free memory, which is very small ! Install a GPS software with multiple countries maps, and a big game like Real Racing 2, and you will then loose half of your free memory ... And if you want to install apps on the SD card, there will be no perfect solution to do this.

i would totally go with the 32gb for that price. i do admit i am a space junkie. but having the extra space is always convenient. i've tried blazer rom and it was quite good. i moved over to freegs3 only because i wanted to try it out and then became addicted to it. haha. good luck!

Spend the extra money. It's worth it. I'm close to maxing my memory out. It's only 50 bucks.

I kinda get the complaining about the phones only having 16g or 32, but with an SD at 64g now honestly I dont see an issue, Im one that does NOT use the cloud , but 16g on the phone for the apps themselves and 64g for my music and such is fine. Im sure the 128g SD will not be too far off. Its just the way it is now and you will have to adapt, you can complain all you want but ALL phones are taking this path so you will either deal with it or well whine about it and deal with it. Just be glad Samsung so far has kept the SD...imagine them saying hey they want a 64g phone, but lets take the SD out like everyone else. That would suck even more. With the cloud taking over as the future they do not see the need for 64g phones with SD slots. The majority will never use that so its not worth it for only the diehards. I do think they need to change it so we can use the SD for apps like it was before without hacking and trickery. This would solve alot of issues.

The cloud? Now why would I want to put all my stuff on someone else's computer? Its useful for work but nothings more practical then being able to access my stuff without data and wifi

That is the reason I rejoiced when I saw HTC financial report. It seems that consumers spoke clearly, and chose Samsung over HTC, even though HTC phones look better and have nicer screens. Samsung and Sony seem the only ones that still understand that consumers may want a microSD card. So maybe not all hope is lost.

the issue is if you dont root you cannot put many programs such as gps maps on the external card. you need to root to do it.. Such as sygic navigon etc. and can quickly fill up the internal sd .

I hope it'll last a while I have a 32 and about 25 gbs worth of music I have about 12.6 gb of videos and movies between my sd space and the internal this'll definitely keep everything in one place.

That's the plan! I'm OCD and want to keep everything together, but all of my 16gb ext and remaining internal is maxed so that's pretty tough to maneuver.
BTW I think Goldbox sales only last a day

Beware. The Note 2 eats these cards for breakfast.

Just stick to Samsung cards.

I've been reading up that they don't behave properly in exfat format. Was that how yours was formatted?

I grabbed another http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDXC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH6JS - Thnx

I let the phone format it. Not sure but if the phone itself is formatting the wrong way then that's a serious bug. The average person is never going to use a computer to do custom formatting...

Yea you're right I do see a ton of complaints around. But also lots of people had great experiences. I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed I get a good one. Thankfully Amazon is amazing at rmas!

Yeah until they ban you for returning too many items. It happens. I got a call from Amazon last year because I had too many 'reasons' (read: returns) on my account. This was a warning shot.
They backed off when I went through the data with them, showing I had 31 returns vs 460 orders for the past 11 years ($31k in purchases) . I asked if that's considered excessive and they said no.
No retailer would blink at that return rate.
Was a scary call. I use Amazon for everything. :sly:

Thanks king617 just ordered a 64gb micro sd retail packaging

I don't recall my SGH-T889 trying to format the card (if so I'd try to cancel it). The card comes exFAT & should stay that way without having the phone-user interfere right?

Honestly, it might not matter and might just be the luck of the draw. I did see this really interesting post though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33768158&postcount=57

Just a heads up of what I recall working for me, i.e. using the default exFAT as is - not having my SGH-T889 format the card.
I've had this card in my SGH-T889 since day1 back in early December without significant issues (I did notice only one .avi movie (<2GB) out of many played & fast forwards fine on internal storage but on this sd card would play but could not fast forward). I have a few files larger than 4GB so when I got this card a few days before receiving my SGH-T889 I immediately checked the file structure to confirm exFAT & transferred those larger than 4GB files with no problem which play & fast forward beautifully on the SGH-T889. If 64 GB internal storage was an option for $100 more I would have opted for it however in addition to 64GB micro sdcard.
So how long until 2TB micro SDXC largest microSDXC cards ?

I just got my today and I cant get my phone to recognize

I should get mine tomorrow but do any of your other computers recognize it?

Our phone will not recognise and AOSP will never do XFat. Formatted mine to Fat32. We will see.

Got mine today, popped it into my phone, and it recognized it instantly. It's formatted as exFAT, and I can copy files to it on the phone with no issues. No formatting required for me.
