Best way to upgrade MicroSD card? (64gb>128gb) - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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... ??

Copy to pc and stick new card in phone format with phone and transfer.

Today I saw this one, which is a Samsung EVO card
Any opinions as to which is better? The Samsung is like $10 more at $109. Worth the hassle of exchanging it and the added cost? (I have not opened the Sandisk yet)
They seem to spec out about the same performance wise...

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

I've had two sandisks die on me in the last year. I'll be buying the Samsung.

Upgraded to 128gb scandisk today and had no issues.

Got my Sandisk 128gb today and having problem with it. All files that are copied to the card are deleted after I reboot the phone. I am using it with Note 4 Canadian version.

You sure you got a real card and not a fake. I would also format the card with phone before first use

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

I got mine from ebey. Samsung 128gb 44.9$

Thats good deal you got there. I reformatted the card to fat32 hopefully that solves it.

My Sandisk 128gb card has been flawless. And it's great having this much space and not having to worry.

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.

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

Does anyone have it?
If you don't plan to transfer content to that card with a usb-3 connection and a reader connected directly to the computer, it doesn't have sense to buy it.
The note it is limited to about 15mb transfer rate, so you will be throwing money out of the window.

Do you have a reference for that info? I plan to pickup a note 2 upon US release and was debating on waiting for the new Samsung high speed micro sd cards or going with Sandisk Ultra.
Daniel
You really won't see much of a difference between the Gold and Ultra cards. The important aspect of those cards are the read speeds and it's absolutely overboard for a phone. Save yourself some money and just get the Ultra w/30mb read and you'll be set. No need for anything faster.

Yeah, just spend that money on the 64GB version of the Note II. I bet the flash chips they use in the note are just as fast, without the bottleneck of MicroSD connections.

I agree that the internal memory would be superior. The problem is that it is very unlikely 32GB and 64GB models will be available upon US release or even within a few months.

agreed. The Ultra card (30mb/sec) is the absolute fastest card you will need for a phone. You won't even take full advantage of its speed but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the Gold.
The only thing that will take advantage of write speeds when using the phone is how fast you take pictures and transfer files to the card from a computer. THAT'S IT. And technically even with that you will be limited to around the same speeds as the average USB 2.0 speed which is normally between 10mb-25mb/sec.
Don't waste your money.
The problem is many people just see whats stated on the package, and don't realize that to obtain the stated speed, you need the unit to support UHS I, and at present no phones support it, so the max speed for the card is read 25mb/s and write 24mb/s, which is the standard for micro sdhc and micro sdxc noted as the class 2, 4, 6 and 10.
Got the 64gb uhs I class 10 works fine write 11MB read 38MB second.
Where can I get a good deal on the Ultra 32 or 64. I know they can be much cheaper online instead of in stores.

Wherever you buy from make sure its an authorized dealer, if not no warranty and you are likely to get a counterfeit which won't have the specified performance. I like buying from amazon, but make sure amazon.com is the seller.

Not true - that's only the case for FAT32.
Stick it in a friend's Galaxy Note or S3 and get them to format it (as EXT3/4) and it works fine all the way up to the data limit.
I'm up to about 41GB in my 64GB card and it is working fine in my Xperia T!
BTW, this was answered weeks ago in a thread in this forum:

Yes, this thread is not needed if he had searched, but i didnt see tha thread, I just checked the specs from the sony site and they say it wont support it.
Which pisses me right off because my new class 10 32gb sd card arrived in the post this morning, if i had have known it supported 64gb i would have got one.
However, fear not, I suspect my wife may get that 32 gb card as an xmas present (As she got a T as well) and I may order myself a shiny new 64gb

Why not just send the 32gb card straight back? Then order the 64gb one.
I'd recommend the SanDisk one that the thread I quoted talks about - that's the one I (and others) have so we know it works.
It might also be worth trying the 64gb card straight in the XT to see if it will format to Ext 3/4 without having to put it in another (e.g. Samsung) phone to get full use of the data. I had a G-Note when I bought the card (which was initially FAT32 formatted) and had to wipe it and then reformat to get it to work, the G-Note just formatted it in the right file system standard.
Oh, and I did the same thing with memory cards on my G-Note but fortunately I have a DSLR camera so my 32gb card got re-purposed for that!

Well I guess it depends on SD card. I only heard positive reviews of Sandisk flash memory.

It really depends on what model you buy for your needs all manufacturers make slow and fast ones. I agree that Sandisk is overpriced on their MSRP but if you shop around, look for deals & price match you will get high quality for a fair price.
I just picked up a 64GB Sandisk Extreme Plus yesterday price matched down to $66.99 CAD, it has up to 80MB/s read and 50MB/s write capabilities and on my Note 4 and it did this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am quite please with its performance.

Subscribed. Currently using the SanDisk 32gig class 10 card. Not bad. Ordered the 64 gig Samsung evo class 10 for $36 off Amazon with free shipping.

Also can write, transfer, copy and paste to sd card using the stock file manager of the note 4. I've unmounted and mounted with great results. No broken icon image.
What cards are supported?
I assume all?
microSD
microSDHC
microSDXC
And what about speed classes? Both: Class 10 and UHS-1?
The question is: will all of them work and if yes then what max read write speed can Note 4 utilize?
Samsung 32gb evo and all is well.

All of them will work.
Maximum speed is utterly dependant on the card. I'm not sure what the theoretical maximum speed the phone could handle, but I'm sure that the card itself will be the limiting factor, not the phone.

Got the same thing. Working with no problems so far. As for speeds, I've never paid too much attention to the speeds of sd cards, so I couldn't give any specifics.
I've purchased the Samsung 64gb Pro card from Amazon and looking forward to using it.
It's supposedly one of the fastest.

Got the Samsung 64gb Evo in mine. Not ran any speed tests...but works all good.

Do you record your 4K videos to SD card?
Could you run any SD benchmark with your EVO?
I read some reviews on the net and seems that EVO should be more than enough for normal Note 4 operation (recording videos, watching huge fullhd movies from mkv files).
SanDisk extreme 128 Gb SDXC
READ 72 MB/ SEC.
WRITE 50 MB/SEC
Recording 4K videos flawlessly.

What app did you use to test the speed?

A1 SD bench
Would anybody mind to test 32 or 64GB EVO card?
1) Perform a 4K video recording to your SD card.
2) Perform a speed test with any of the test app inside your phone.
Thanks!!
I really have some doubts because this site http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-microsd-card/ says that for 4K recording something faster is needed than EVO.
But on the other hand: 4K recording requires only 6MB/s of sequential writing and EVO can handle up to 19MB/s (at lease every review claims that).
Thanks!!!
