Hello, So I just got the LG E370, and was wondering about the memory card limit. Now I read it states that the biggest card it accepts is a 64gb card, but then that ventures into the realm of SDXC. And SDXC has a limit of 2TB, So would I not be able to install a 2TB microsd card (assuming one was able to obtain such a card)?Would it be a software limitation or am I misunderstanding the size limitations of cards. I know SD is up to 2GB, SDHC is 4GB to 32GB, and from what i've ever dealt with, anything that can accept a 4gb can acccept both a 2gb, and a 32gb card. So why would the phone not be able to accept beyond the 64gb while it's still in same format?.
Thanks in advance.

4GB SD card...
I am using 4GB cards of several brands (A-Data, SanDisk, Transcend etc.) with my BlueAngel without any kind of problem....
Is there a size limit to the microsd that the Dash will take? I ask this because I used to have a Motorola A1200 that only took 1gb microsd.
I have a 2GB microSD card in my dash. Works great
Up to 2 gb would work just fine. From I've been read, 2 gb is the max you can go with Dash.
2g is the max for SD, microSD, miniSD. The only thing higher is called SDhc (Secure Digital High Capacity) and will only work on cameras and devices that say they are SDhc compatible, ones that don't won't recognize it.
I just recently purchase a 2GB from Sandisk and it works fine. I purchaed it from Outpost.com for $20 after rebate. I think the reason why Dash only supports up to 2GB because 4GB microsd aren't available yet during the time of the release (and currently as well that aren't NON SDHC). I wish the 4GB will come out soon because you know by then 8GB microsd will next. I think 8GB is a good size for the dash. Enough to pack decent amount of music, files, programs, and definitely gps maps that take a lot of space.

There is no Non SDHC because SD technology can't support over 2g. That's why they made SDhc. Different format/technology. SD is FAT16 and SDhc is FAT32. (from what I've seen online)

Yes, I do understand that SD cards are limited but it is possible as you can see many ppl are buying standard 4GB SDs and even MiniSD that don't require SDHC readable devices. They are non-SDHC that is formatted to FAT32. Ebay is flooded with these non-sdhc 4gb miniSD and they work according to many. In time, I'm sure there will be 4gb microsd that don't require SDHC as well too. The 8GB of course most likely will remain SDHC as it is still fairly new in the flash memory industry at the moment.

Do they just format it from 16 to 32? And if so do you know how they do this? I've been looking online and can't find anything.
I am looking for a 4GB SD card for my Qtek S200.
A-DATA "150x" is cheaper than Pretec 133x.
I know, I will not realize the speed difference in XDA.
Could you tell me your speed experiences with these cards in PC card readers?
THANX
i had a pretec and it didn't work so well. the card would corrupt all the time. i have had a-data with no problems but i may have had an odd experience
DO NOT GET ANY CARD THAT IS MORE THAN 2GIGS THAT IS NOT SDHC. Wether it is SD or minisd or microsd if you get a 4GB or higher card make sure it is SDHC or you are asking for trouble as most if not all regular sd cards corrupt data sooner or later if they are not HC.
4GB works on non-SDHC
I use a non-SDHC card in my phone and not had corruption problems with it. Main advantage is it works with all card readers whereas SDHC only work with some card readers.

Which card?
Hi all. I'm new on this forum and have recently had my new phone stolen from me. I decided to blow the dust off the XDA IIS and have spent the last few days on here fiddling with it.
I ordered a new 4gb memory card. It is 4GB Micro SD inside a SD adapter. and works perfectly in the PC. I also have an old mi nin SD 512 inside an SD adapter and this works. I 've spent hours reading the forum and can't find a solution. I apologise if this has allready been asked but does anyone have any suggestions?
Its an XDA IIS and I have tried numerous windows installations on the phone with the same result. It is now running WM 6.5.3
Thankyou in avdance...
as a matter of facts, it has been asked dozens of times already. but still:
4gb is the boarderline size for sd cards (sd, mini-sd, micro-sd doesn't matter).
4gb is available as an sd1.0 card (standard sd), and also as sd2.0 card (sdhc). the sdhc standard is not compatible with the blueangel.
or, in layman's terms:
every sd card of 2gb or less capacity works
every sd card of 8gb or more capacity doesn't work
for 4gb cards you have to look out, so you don't accidently buy an sdhc card, kingston and transcend have good standard 4gb cards.
Thanks for your reply. So basically it should work? I tried to make sure I didnt buy SDHC and it doesn't say it on the card. Would you say that the card more than likeley is SDHC?
what brand and model is it?
but afaik all micro sd cards of 4gb are sdhc, there are very few normal size 4 gb sd cards, namely kingston and transcend, but the majority of 4gb cards is sdhc and therefor incompatible.
The website says this tablet will support a maximum of 128GB external storage and then the manual says a maximum of 64GB storage card.
Manual:
You can use a microSD or microSDHC card (not
included) to add additional memory space to your
device.
Your device has been tested to support up to a
64GB memory card.
Website:http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/SM-T800NTSAXAR
External Memory/microSD™ Capacity
Up to 128GB
SDHC/SHD SD Card
Yes
... wikipedia says the max supported size of SDHC is 32GB but anything greater falls under SDXC specifications- so there's some inaccuracy in their manuals and marketing

Fyi received an answer from Samsung customer support:
"
Thank you for contacting Samsung. I see that the Galaxy tab SM-T800NTSAXAR shows support for 128GB external SD card on Samsung website and 64GB on the manual. I have checked our internal database and see that the device supports 128GB micro SDXC card.*"
Thanks for that! I might get an SD card soon lol.
