64gb card
Thank you for your post, I bought the sandisk 64gb card, formated it to fat32 and it works perfectly [in fact its a bit zippier than my previously full 32 gb card which i believe was class 4]. The card was a bit pricey, but well worth it. Thanks again.

i just bought one of these and it works fine in cwm, but is not detected in android, ive tried stock 2.3.4 and leaked ics, neither wants to know of the cards existence.
Solved:, poor formatting on my part.

When I purchased a 64GB Micro SD Card for my phone just before Christmas, it wouldn't work at all - Even when formatted to FAT32.
Its now used in an SD card adapter for my girlfriends Nintendo 3DS... So there's no chance I'm getting that back.
Can you provide the model of the card you purchased? I've got two 32GB cards for my Play currently, Both have exactly the same apps cloned between them but different caches for different games - So I have to swap over every time i want to play a game on the other card lol. xD (Most of the are ROMs mind you...)

Buying know thanks for the tip.

Fat32 can be formatted up to 2tb. That is its maximum
Sent from my SO-01D using xda premium

OK... I just got this card and transferred all the data from my 32GB micoSD to the new 64GB microSDXC... and the weird thing is that it is taking up more space on the SDXC than the SD... so I'm guessing that the problem is that it isn't formatted to FAT32... so how do I do that? Using Win7Pro, I don't see an option to format it to FAT32... any ideas?

I formatted this card with the phone but it is also possible to format it with a computer using third party format tools.
And the problem with the data which takes more space from your 64GB card than it took from your 32GB card could be related to the clustersize. Maybe the system chose a bigger size in order to have less effort to deal with the size of the card. However if there are files which are below this clustersize they are always as big as the clustersize. So the data needs more space.

Thanks for the tip I really gotta try this 64gb would practically hold my life lol

My phone has an annoying glitch where I move or delete files on the SD card, and the SD card shows that there's new space after deletion, but when I try to put in a new file, there's no space!
Every couple of months I have to transfer the files I wanna keep to my PC, then format the card to get the lost capacity back. I first noticed it when I tried putting some anime episodes on the card when it showed 2GB free, but then it said the card was full!
The aforementioned glitch only happens when I delete/move files through Android or when the storage is mounted to USB. Never happens when the card is plugged into Windows and being manipulated directly through an adapter instead of the phone.
If you guys transfer a lot of stuff on those cards, I'd suggest getting one of these
I have a red one and it's super handy when you wanna transfer, format etc. Plus it's got a keychain so if you have school, you can keep it on hand.
By using that instead I've avoided the storage issues.

In SM Megamall. That was on sale - I bought it @ 1,800.00 pesos (about $ 42)

i have this
but i think it is not real class 10 it working like class 8 or class 6

Very nice.
Btw, is this 32GB microsd card class 10 a fake one in your opinion?

It is written on it but since there's no brand nor package, we can't verify...
EDIT: Err, in fact there's a brand, my bad...
You should ask more photos from the vendor to verify...

Dont know if its fake or not. cost $45(php1900) but one thing is for sure, its stable, i no longer have gallery thumbnail problems and faster sd media scanning unlike my previous class4 one.

Does Black work with any 64 gb SD card?

It's possible because 64gb works on some SGS and other devices.

I found a very cheap sd card on ebay.
$19.00 for a 32GB.
Looked fake and rubbish at first, but suprisingly i've been using it for almost 5 months with no problems.
Can't post links and images yet, sorry.

You guys think a class 10 16gb sdcard is enough?
Sent from my Paranoid Jelly Phone

Sizewise 16 gb is just fine for me. But depends pon torre media usage. I shot a lot of 720p videos , have few movies and audio albums. At any time at least 2 nandroid backups. IGo gps ( 400 mb maps).
And still have nearly 2 gb free.
Price difference nowadays is hardly worth considering. It is cheap
If i was buying now it would be the same do i want to spend 18-20 euro for 16 class 10, or 30-35 for 32.

why should I need 32 GB on my phone !!! I really don't get it I think 16 GB is even way more storage and I will never be able to run it out

We Xperia u users happy with 6GB :'(

Pankaja, you are correct. My 32GB Transcend SDCard is now dead. The files saved in the SDCard became permanent. I cannot save more files or delete files already saved. Tried formatting when phone is on or in CWM Recovery. Also tried formatting with card reader. Still no success.
I'm now back to my Sandisk 2GB provided when I bought my phone.
CAUTION! To all other users. I suggest do not buy or use Trancend SDCard for our phone. This is based on actual experience.

Well, i'm getting a 16 gb class 10 transcend card soon

The Awesomeness of Swap. (700MB+ ram)

Mods, please move this thread to General or wherever you think it should belong. It started off as a question that I found the answer to myself after further looking, but now it seems like it'd be helpful for future reference for anyone.
I found this guide here and followed it step by step and I now have 700+MB ram xD. Performance has been increased drastically. I'm using a Micro SD 8GB Class 4.

That's what backups are for. And SD's are replaceable. For this huge performance boost, I'm guessing it's okay.

Yes funeral, even if sd isn't partitioned, the swap file writes to the sd card, which has a limited number of writes. Swappiness at 100 takes a big toll on sd card life

Nah, set the swappiness lower. I'm gonna take it off though. I'll put it back on when I get my 8GB Class 10 and reinstall A2SD. Don't really have the need for swap at the moment since I don't have any heavy apps installed. Just wanted to see how it worked out. Works amazingly well.

Thanks for the tip, without the swap partition we can't keep on background more than 4 apps maybe, now I can keep 10+, I tested and it's great!

Haha. Glad I'm not the only one it's worked for. But you actually made a partition? The swap file is more convenient. You can change size at will and you don't have to touch your SD and it works exactly like a partition.
How big did you make yours?

Oh, sorry, I thought one thing and wrote another, I'm using a 256MB swap file, not partition. Good enough for me.

Oh ok. Yeah, that's good. I'm about to shrink mine. 500 is a space hog for no reason xD.
Highest swap usage I got was like 69MB.
EDIT: I just realized. With this, we can finally use ICS/JB. The lack of ram made it completely slow and unbearable. I'll start using it again once all the bugs are sorted out

Well, what to say?! Not everything got better in newer versions, unfortunately. Google implemented a lot restrictions with regards to external SDcards.
However, I can't seem to spot any really consuming Apps in your Screenshot, except maybe the Games. Possibly helpful to post a shot of settings -> memory to sort it out.

ill be honest, i just want the ability to modify my sd card while on my phone. I often save large files and i store my music collection on my sd card along with my books and school work. Any way to write/modify any files on my sd card without root? Who at google thought it was a good idea to lock its users out of their own sd cards? Anyway ill just wait for a way to unlock the bootloader without losing drm keys and then eventually im sure a custom rom will come out. Until then ill just have to use my computer to modify my sd card. NBD.

Any app can write to its own folder on the SD card. Without root, no app except system apps can write to the whole SD card for security reasons. This will be changed with Android L (introduction of a new permission).

That's not what I meant, I use solid explorer but can't actually modify anything on the card just read. As the guy below you said only system apps can transfer stuff or it has to go into the android folder.

@OP:
I'm 90% sure you don't need a lot of those apps. Try and see if you really need **** and uninstall it if the launch count is below a certain threshold (back in Gingerbread, I set mine to once per month and I ended up uninstalling almost half my apps). Or try finding a lighter app that does the same thing.
Only once in my entire life was I able to fill up a 16GB device with apps only (on a 16GB Nexus 7), and even those were just games (of 100MB+ in size).
My point -- 16GB is more than enough for the majority of users, there is no reason for a developer to waste time doing edits to please the minority you are part of.
Also your OP is ridiculous. And the post isn't in the correct Forum subsection.
You're German ffs, show that! :ID

Just saw this thread and had to reply, because it seems like good news for everybody who owns an sd card
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...5-0-shows-google-still-loves-sd-cards-1271803
According to this google is loosening the sd card restrictions on the new android, at least as it regards storage of third party apps on the sd card.
Just wanted to share this to spread the hopefully true news, maybe an app2sd will also be implemented.

As I said three posts before

This thread absolutely does not belong in the Original Development subforum.

You could root and get xposed running which could fix your problem.

Trow away navigator, it's rubbish. Can use sygic and put the roadmaps on the sd. Saved me 4gb internal memory.

Best way to upgrade MicroSD card? (64gb>128gb)

So I was lucky enough to get a 128gb MicroSD Sandisk UHS-1 card for Christmas. I will upgrade my 64gb Samsung UHS-1 card, which is very full (80%'ish)
Is there a "better" way to upgrade microsd cards? or simply copy to pc from old card, and transfer from PC to new card... ??

I will be honest. People like the Samsung. I personally think they the same. Back up it stuff of yet cause these cards suck when they get hot or a flash messes with them. The proccesor is right under sd card to the side but gets hot when you record 4k video . Or games

Its real Sandisk, I did format using the phone already. I will transfer from pc to micro sd then it will reboot. I tried copying files to phone's storage then move it to external card then same problem after reboot. It is the first version the 30 mb/s 128gb
