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.

Find me a major manufacturers website that lists a class 6 32gb microSDHC for sale at any price and I might believe it. Until then, I won't.

Why would you think it's too good to be true? How much do you think a 32gb would go for?

I bought a 32 gb scandisk from ebay for 29.99 and it works on everything EXCEPT my evo don't waste your money trust me
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

i wouldn't bother. it's most probably a scam. i bought two of them in the past. they are usually 2gb cards that are rebadged to make them look like 32gb cards. if you tried to put anything larger than 2gb, you get the corrupt card message.

Only reputable company to make 32gb micro sdhc now is Sandisk and there card is rated at class 2. So I would seriously doubt anyone else would sell them for $15 dollar unless we are in the stage where cards are 1tb and not gb. Just use common sense and you don't be victim of scams as you only empower them by doing so.
PS: ATM I'm shopping for real 32gb c4 or 16gb c6 so let's see if anyone else is welling to produce 32gb cards.

Well looking at the feed backs, almost all the ones regarding the MicroSD card were something like:
PayPal unclaimed - requested repayment. Could not repay via eBay, so cancelled
So yah, I wouldn't bother
Also, the seller claims it's class 6 which screams fake/scam

My question is WTF is Kingston and PNY with there own 32gb cards. At least competition would lower the price. I heard people were picking up Sandisk 32gb c2 for $50 of Verizon by scheming them as they still sell for $100 which is much lower than anyone else ATM.

BuyDOTcom (noob users can't post links) has a 3C pro 32GB microSD card for like $120. It's a class 4.
Other than that, I haven't seen much competition at all in this area.
I'm content to wait until later this year for more people like RiData and so.

this fake
98.9% Positive feedback

i have a question:
how does he get so many positive feedback on ebay ?
(i believe too its fake though ..)

I bought one of these from eBay, not from the same person though. It was a 32Gb Class 4, I got it for about £20.
I works fine in laptop card reader. Put it in my HD2, tried copying a large amount of data, which failed, now I have an 8Mb sd card!!
It may not be the way to go.

Here's an equation that I have calculated to help you out.
MC + E = NO
Where MC = Memory card
E = Ebay
NO = No

And now there's a sale on a class4 16gb microSD card:
http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=216757949
$34 bucks is pretty good. Just ordered one myself!

26€ not bad

Well, many of the fake memory cards use host for storage, to fake the large capacity and fast access time.
So when you used it on your laptop, it actually stored all the data on your hard disk. Cool, you thought: it's all working.
Then you used it on HD2, which was impossible for the dodge hack, so it revealed its true nature.

Just installed the new card and swapped over my files. For smaller files, data transfer doesn't seem very different, but large movies definitely seem to transfer faster.

Recommend a SD card size

What size sd card should I get? Would 2gb be fine?

If you're gonna be installing a lot of software you should probably go with 4+. I believe 2 is sufficient if you have it on hand

Thanks

Yes I just got a sandisk 16GB Extreme Class 10 45MBPS for 17.00 prime free shipping

Also RPi has a micro SD card adapter, so I am using my old micro SD card from old phone. They are available at adafruit.com or ModMyPi.com. they are cheaper at adafruit.com
Sent from my GT-I9300

The minimum size SD card I would recommend is 8 GB, also check out this list of SD cards that are known to work well with the RPi and this list of SD cards to avoid and that are known to cause problems and not work.

I think 16Gb 10class SD card is best of speed*size/price.

I looking on sandisk extreme 8GB. But I've read that rpi with some kernels have boot problems with some really fast cards.
Sent from my LG-SU660 using xda premium

I you are pretending to really use the rPi as a "real computer" everyday, install softwares, development kits, etc I would recommend a 8GB or more SD card, they are not expensive(as a guy said, a 32GB card will cost less than 30 bucks in USA. This is difficult here in Brazil, today I bought a 8GB MicroSD card for 30 dollars). If you want to use the rPi for small things, Chrome OS or something like that I think that a 4GB card will be fine.

I Picked myself up a couple of these at the start of this year, Class 10's and on the known Good List and only 20GBP at the moment, which is a bargain. Now all I need a RaspPi to go with it

You can be happy getting the 512MB version then, so waiting isn't that bad.
OT: 4GB ist enough for almost everything, but then its recommended to mount /home onto an external drive for storing user data.

Recommendations for micro sd

My 16 gig kingston filled up quite rapidly after 2 weeks so I'm looking in getting a 32 or 64 micro sd but not sure what I shall get.
I see theres sdhc sdxc but not sure whats the differences.
I read theres issues with sandisk so I was thinking of either samsung lexar or kingston.
Also does the note 2 use the class 10 cards to its fullest as in its max read/write speeds?
I've read its pointless paying extra for the class 10 cards since the note2 dont use it to the fullest
Thanks in advance for any replies

either buy 32gb or 64gb any company OTHER THAN SCANDISK ............................it Sucks big time. i have scandisk 32gb and it keeps on unmounting mounting every now and than .

sandisk 64gb class 10

The Note II can use a 64 gb sdcard. I would only use a class 10. Its way quicker tranferring files, or taking videos. Also you can use SD-Booster. Download from the Play Store. Its free. You can tell the sdcard at what speed to be ruiing at. 2048, 4096, etc, etc. Phone must be rooted to use.

I have and currently use the ScanDisk Extreme 64GB SDXC class 10 card. I haven't had, or at least noticed, any issues while using it. I just formatted the card right away when I installed in the phone.
You may want to install directorybind. I believe you need root. A lot of app install on the phone's storage, not on the SDcard. So you may want to check if your card or phone storage filled up. Other than that, I would suggest moving pictures and videos off your phone if you have a lot.

If you use a swap file on the SD card, it will go bad way faster than normal. I avoid using the card for a swap file.

Lexar
I've been using a Lexar 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC card for many months. Both in the Note 2 and previously to that in an S3 -- no issues ever. No crashes, no unmounts, no corruption, etc.

I got mine when amazon had them for $40. I got two. One is in a tablet, no issues. The one in the GN2, I originally put in my Evo 4G and it worked fine; it couldn't get class 10 speed, but worked very well with Boot Manager

Thanks for all the replies
I just bought a kingston 64gb sdxc class 10 earlier @ frys for $40 after tax.

Get a Samsung branded one to avoid the mounting and unmounting problems. Ivd go that route when my 32gb dies.

I tried term as root with a chmod 777 for the folders on my SD but that also didn't work... Any ideas? I'm getting a bit frustrated.

128GB Sandisk for $37 from Adorama when they had a sale

I looked at my needs for a micro SD for my phone.
Do I need Super Speed? No
Do I need a name brand? No
Do I need a LOT of space? Yes
Max space the LG G4 will recognize? 1TB <<< XDA Specs state only 128Gb (which is incorrect)
So I searched for about an hour to find the most space for my money with the highest customer ratings.
With this information, I found on ebay this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/252079496841?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
512 GB's for UNDER $20
A friend of mine told me that it wouldn't work as these SD Cards may come from the same factories that make them for PNY & Kingston BUT don't go thru the testing process. I thought... For $20, I can take my chances. It works.
I have ready every post in here, and no one is even close to what I've got.
The 1TB SD Cards were not as cheap, and they may need more time in production for all the issues to get smoothed out, but 512 GB's will do for now.
I travel a LOT to India, and as a Senior Tech Agent, I need to transfer Large files back and forth, keep large presentations with me at all times, and plus 512 gigs is awesome.
