Nope, 16GB is limit...The G1' hardware limits it to 16 only, but the card will really have 14Gbs on it not 16...Just like 8gb card has like 7Gbs on it.

It will do 16GB, in theory 32GB as well, but I have yet to see a MicroSD 32GB Class 6 SDHC card, and I just did a google search and didn't see anything either.
For the OP, also check out your local Radio Shack. I was in need of an SD card in a pinch, right here right now, because mine went bad and was causing some bad flashes, and thus needed to fix it ASAP so I could get my phone working right again.
Anyway, they had Sandisk Mobile Ultra cards on sale, and I was able to get the elusive class8 4GB card for $12. Sandisk didn't make them for very long, the performance difference between class6 and class8 is very, very small, and not worth the premium if it isn't on sale.
If they don't have any great buys like I was lucky enough to get (I would have ordered one off the internet when I got home if I hadn't been so lucky) get a class 6 8gb card off the itnernet. Great deal on a lot of memory. If you really are going to use more than 8gb, then go ahead and get a 16gb, but in all honesty the only way you would go over 8gb is if you refuse to add and REMOVE music/videos/pics from you SD card.

I thought it was just a software "limit" and that 1.6+ supports the 32gb out of the box?

Ah your right...Just like Xp cant read cards bigger than 8GB natively while vista/7 can read all sizes.But then again im on hero(1.5) guess that doesnt support 32GB cards.
But i would prefer he saves that money if he plans on getting a new andro

i think i will go with 16gb...seems to be more than enough...not willing to order one off the net only to find it doesnt work...anyone see any good deals on a 16gb card? this was the best i could find...

Much better deals. Amazon will not scam you that is a trustful dealer.

If you have a microcenter near you, they usually have great deals too. Also on the web.

my transcend 8gb C6 actually has 7.65gb usable space.

I am pretty sure it doesn't exist.

Thanks for the replies
I think i will go with the SanDisk 8 or 16Gb class 6 one.

SDXC in the HTC Velocity

Can anyone confirm that microSDXC cards work in these phones before I buy a 64GB card?
And if you are using one, would you recommend the brand you have? I tend to just stick with SanDisk but the SDXC cards are pretty pricey

Hi,david
Did you ever find out if the 64gb card worked?

After we ran the news of the new cards we quickly learned that many smartphones including the Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Sensation 4G, ASUS Transformer tablet and more all work with 64GB MicroSDXC cards.

If they work for those then why not the Velocity.

I have not tried yet, money was tied up, but from what I have read they should work... I have no concrete knowledge yet though, it would be nice if it just said microSDXC on the htc site.

From what I have read, the default format won't work, but will after formatting to fat32.

sdxc works!
okay just so everyone knows..i purchased a sandisk 64gb micro sdxc card and my htc raider reads it just fine. when i first booted up the phone it gave me an sd error, then asked me if id like to format the card, and voila! i think the card came unformatted, thats all. ive got music, videos, files, and games all on it now and havent had a single issue. so yes, sdxc definitely works in this phone.

Sdhc / sdxc cards in p880

Hey all,
Just registered on XDA after a friend recommended I join.
I have owned the P880 now for about 4 weeks and would like to expand my 16gb SDHC card to a MUCH larger size in order to ditch my iPod.
Here's my query:
I got my 4X HD from Amazon Germany and on the LG Germany website it says you can expand the SD card to 64gb, but everywhere else I have read that its 32GB - who is right?
Also, can you use SDXC cards in the P880? I'm not sure if the phone has the right drivers for SDXC.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Adam

Yes I'm pretty sure 64gb micro sdxc cards will work with O4X, I think I've read some people here say it worked on their P880. 64gb micro sdxc cards even work on devices as old as SGS1, although not officially supported. Not sure though if it will support exfat but it should run on fat32.

Hey,
64gb sd ist the maximum u can extend the phone. but it only supports fat32.

[Q] 128GB SD Card + MicroSD Card Adapter = 128GB Nook?

Hi,
I was thinking of buying a 128GB SD card and this SD to MicroSD adapter http://dx.com/p/sd-to-microsd-transflash-card-converter-module-27001 and hooking it up to my Nook HD 7" for use with all those awesome emulators and the recent CM builds. Question is, will this work? Does the Nook even support SD cards that big? I don't want to buy something and find out it doesn't work the way I wanted.

Hi,
I have read both on XDA and on the official Barnes and Noble support site that people successfully tested and used 64gb micro SDXC cards. But for 128gb I am afraid none tried or reported yet.
If you do try it let us know it if works.

You would want that big thing hanging out of the bottom of your Nook?

Nobody report it because 128GB microSD doesn't exist.

No, he was talking about a 128GB SD, not microSD. That's why I said it would be a big thing hanging out of the bottom.

My Nook HD (8gig) can't seem to recognise my Samsung 32gig but can for my SanDisk 8gig. Is there some limit for the 8gig model? Should I just try buying a 32gig Sandisk one?

You should be able to see up to 64GB. Is the 32GB one you tried formatted properly. Try formatting it in the nook under settings, storage.

Yea, why would you want that hanging off the bottom of your Nook? And why do you need 128GB of storage for a Nook?

You could tape it to the back and out of the way.

I have

i have one of these, it doesnt work in the galaxy note,but it does work with my S3, there is also a post on you tube , its a rubbish review but you can see it working http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaQIkAHbHoE this should be great with the galaxy mega 6.3, and yes I'd just tape it to the back i dont care if it looks ugly, its only me that will really see it. Im confident it will also take the 256SD card but havent tried,
i also have the little adapter which is in the you tube video which works brilliant on my s3 and it sadly doesnt work on the note, it might work on the note 2 but havent tried it yet...

UHS-I [Ultra High Speed] microSDHC card

I ordered a samsung microsdhc 32gb class 10 card but I received a samsung plus UHS-I Card. Does anyone use an UltraHighSpeed Card ? I would like to know if this speed class is compatible with our razr i before I open it. Because if not, I will send it back to get the proper one I've ordered.
Thanx.

Yeah I'm not sure on the difference myself but going by the sandisk website they call it a UHS-I card so I'd guess its the same standard

Yeah, looks the same. Thank you. One last thing, when you use it for the first time, did you used the razr I to format it or not ?

I think I did, well I'm pretty sure it does it itself when it mounts the SD card for the first time, but don't quote me on that

Because I was migrating from a class 6 to a UHS-1 I simply dumped the card contents to a folder on PC, and transferred everything - so the formatting was handled by the PC. If you were to let the device handled it.
If you were to let the device format it and used it to copy any existing content over you'd be using horribly slow MTP - much better off with a card reader.
