1 GB Dane-elec Xs work fine on my Qtek 2020i(XDA2i)
you may format card before use
I have you tried any other card in your XDA IIi.
I have a DANE-ELEC 1 GB SD card and a INOV8 512 MB cards
and both work well.
Sorry I can't be of more help
Muzza
Kingston 2 GB (30651-001.A00LF p799861x01)work as well,
maybe i should have purchase a 4 GB :wink:
Scandisk 1GB SD card working fine!
transcend 2gb 150x absolutely fine work =))
maybe you have bad card? or maybe format it via cardreader can help..
My Kingston 2GB works great on the device, might be a case of a bad card for you, tried it on any other devices?
Worked
I use Kingston 1Gb SD card... 50x and it works fine... maybe your battery is dying
I think theres still a 4gb SD card at work which I'll give a go tomorrow if I get a chance.
I work at CeX in Brighton, England, and we get a lot of different types of memory cards in. So far I'm just using a standard SanDisk 512mb card, but will eventually get a 2 or 4gb (the 4gb we have is £120 >.<)
Kingston SD Card 1GB works fine on my XDA IIi. What brand do you use anyway?
XDA IIi definately supports up to 4gb (150x) cards.
I just got a "Topram' 4gb 150X...despite formatting both via card reader and my device it will not read...
Does it show the card size in the Memory cp? Or can you just not transfer files to and from it?
neither...as soon as I insert it into the 2i I am asked to format it to make the card ledgible...so I agree...but it still does not show up at all. Neither in memory size menu or file explorer.
I have formatted it via card reader on the compeuer too...It accepts files via card redaer so the card itself is ok.
But every single time I insert it into the PDA it asks me to format it again and it never shows up.
bit off topic but as anyone else had a problem with SD/MMC cards working for a while (sometimes as little as 6 months other times over a year) then totaly stopping ie show as not being there in any card reader, only to come back to life after about 12 months stuck in a draw. I have had this with 2 cards so far and got 1GB card in the draw at the moment which stopped working just as I put some important files onto it
SD Cards
I have a 4GB Transcend, 2GB SanDisk and a 512MB Unbranded and they all work perfectly fine in my xdaIIi, maybe your card reader is a bit iffy?
EDIT: By card reader I mean the bit that you insert the card into the xdaIIi
It may simply be certain makes of cards that work, and certain that dont. All you can do is hope the retailers let you try before you buy

erm... u made sure u formated them as FAT not FAT32? i had no end of probs with my 2020 when i did that, and the 1gb unbranded card i have in my 2020i is FAT and works fine, as most hand helds and camera (i use it in my konica/minolta SLR digital, it hates FAT32 file systems too) format them as that and jobs a good one!
Hey guys I`ve bought an Alpine and I want to put a 4GB SD Card in it??
Do you think, it works? Or is the maximium 2 GB, which works in Alpine?
CU
4 gb cards work......mostly.
I've used both the A-Data and the Transcend 4 GB cards on my Alpine. There is only one problem I've experienced. If your 4 GB card is less than half full (i.e. available storage is > 2gb), AND you've configured your camera to save the pictures you take to the SD card directly, then you may experience an error. The error simply says it can't save the SD card. If you card is more than 50% full of other stuff, then there is no problem using the camera application and saving your picutres directly to the SD Card.
I RARELY use my camera, so I really don't care. Plus, I have enough stuff on my SD card so that it never has more than 2 gb of available storage (i.e. its always more than half full). Consequently, this bug in the camera application is really not much of a nussiance.
ok, thank you very much for your reply...
It work, as I had a Kingston 4GB SD Card
without problems??
can you give me some more details about your sd card??
thank you
A 4Gb will work, but it does depend on the make - since, I'm guessing, cheaper makes use cheaper parts. Kingston and SanDisk seem to be pretty good.
I have a generic (samsung oem perhaps?) 4gb SD card and it works fine apart from it seems to be a tight fit in the slot. No problems with it as yet though.
SD card
I used a topram 4GB mini with adaptor and it did not work.
I then bought a Transcend 4GB MMC+ (plus) and it works like a dream.
I hope this helps you.
Watch out that the card is not a sdhc card. SDHC cards look like normally sd cards, but they dont' work on the Alpine.

all sdhc (high capacity) cards have "sdhc" sign so you can easily discern them
only the newest htc devices support sdhc cards
I'm using 4GB Tanscend SD Card with my alpine
and its working fine
Thanks to the advice here, I bought a 4Gb Transcend MMC plus and it works beautifully.
So much space is a real bonus as I have Tomtom maps of Europe, the whole of the USA, 6 or 7 full movies plus 20 or so albums worth of mp3's still with 500mb free for odds & sods.
Hi,
I am using a HAMA 4GB, and it is working more or less fine.
I don't know if it is a card issue or caused by the heat recently in Austria, but my Nav freezes from time to time.
I have to turn the 2020i off and then on, then it works again.
Some days ago, the card suddenly lost some data....
I have a SanDisk 4GB SD Card, however when I put it into my Alpine it doen't seem to recognise it. It just doesn't show up. Can anyone give me any hints on how to force it to look for it or something like that?
I have been trying to find the best method for getting a 64gb SD card to work with my phone, and it has not been all that successful. I have formatted in NTFS, exFat and FAT32, all with varying degrees of success. Either copying files over leads to data corruption, or I cannot write from and to the SD card when it is being accessed by my device. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am currently running CMPrime ROM v1.1Beta with the included kernel. I have also tried using it with Unnamed Kernel.
I just received my Samsung 64gb EVO MicroSDXC UHS-I card this morning. I popped it into my phone and it asked me to format before I could use it. So I clicked yes and then after that it just worked.
I am not sure what would be different for a custom rom as IU use the offical Lollipop 5.0.2. It shouldn't be much different though.
FAT32 is your best bet. I have a 64GB Lexar card formatted in FAT32 working fine with Titan Prime.
It's possible that something is wrong with the card. Does the card work fine in other devices? What brand is it?
Could also be a hardware issue with your phone, have you tried other cards?
Use fat32 no other file system

I bought a no-name SD card from a Chinese manufacturer, because I figured "why not." I know quality of SD cards vary across manufacturers, but since it's an established technology and relatively easy to make, I thought it'd be worth a chance. Some quick Google-Fu showed that it is not a completely isolated issue related to SD failure.
I have a 32gb card that I'm using without any issues. I'm asking specifically about 64gb, because 32gb seems to be the max size for external storage.

I usually give ROM info, because it is common courtesy for dev communities. I have read that formatting through the device only accomplishes a rather crude job, and that file structures can be unsound. I know FAT32 is the standard, but it is an old format that has size limitations.

I believe you should be able to use NTFS or exFAT with the kernal you're running, though I don't know if there might be any bugs or compatibility issues with some cards. If even FAT32 isn't working correctly, my suspicion if that you have a bad MicroSD card. As a rule of thumb I always buy brand name from reputable sources when it comes to microsd cards. I know those cheap ones look tempting, but the quality issues with them are legit, so it's a real crapshoot.
And yes, you'll run into the same old limitations with FAT32 in terms of file size, etc., but I use it anyway since it has the widest support across devices and I sometimes swap my cards.

I am inclined to call this a bad SD card, but I want to rule out all other possible reasons. Null Hypothesis and all that.
In terms of performance of FAT32, it is registered by the ROM, and it is visible in recovery. But my music files are not readable in Google Music or any other music app. I've tried moving them to /sdcard1/media/music and it is still balls. This kind of behavior leads me to think that it is an actual formatting issue.

Max file size for fat32 is 4GB-1byte. Should be not a problem unless you plan on putting e.g. large hd-movies on the card. Speed isn't affected by the partition type (actually it is, but it's negligible in this case). No-name sdcards are often manufactured with low quality check standards. They sell cards that would normaly get tossed into trash. I use a 64gb card with no problem whatsoever. On windows use http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/ because windows will only allow up to 32gb. On linux use gparted.

I occasionally save audio recording/mixing sessions as OMF files, which can end up being really large, particularly if I export at 64-bit sampling and 96khz frequency. So the 4gb limit can be a bit annoying to deal with, in that regard.
I wasn't aware about the cheaper SDcards potentially being of b or failed stock. I'll probably buy a new card under a trusted brand, and report back.

Acquired a Sandisk MicroSDXC Ultra UHS-1 64gb card. Tried using it in my android phone. I am able to load files onto the SD card as before, but I still experienced the same issues with Media Scanner failing to account for my music files on External SD. Worse yet, my Titanium Backup files became corrupted when trying to access them via the device. I did a Nandroid Backup and tried a clean install to rule out any potential conflicts with my ROM, only to find that the issues remained, and the Nandroid disappeared from the TWRP backup folder.
At this point, I'm starting to think that it's an issue with the phone itself. WHY CAN I NOT HAVE 64GB OF SPACE, MOTO G!!!?
I bought a sandisk 64gb card off amazon on black Friday, immediately put it in my phone and let the device format it.
Later, I put the SD card in my computer so I could create a 2nd partition for ext4 storage.
The phone had formatted the card Fat32...has been working just fine since then.

When I try to mount the SD card in the phone, it does not register. It only works after I format to FAT32 using TWRP. So I will probably try that.
So 32gb in FAT32, then 32GB in Ext4, and leave back-ups/other files there?
64 card files wont all play
Hi I have a new moto g, I also put in a 64 sd card, while the music files seemed to play fine, video and other files the phone reads some of them not others, I put the same file internally and on the sd card and it reads the internal version of the file. I gather from this forum (though I may be wrong) I need format the sd card, I have no idea how to do that, any help would be appreciated.

My understanding is that, if you have a FAT32 SD Card, then larger files (4gb+) cannot be read. ExFAT and NFTS should solve this problem, but I am still dealing with issues of reliability with my card accessing my music files post-formatting.
Finally discovered the problem. I downloaded SD Insight from the Play Store, and I found that the SD cards I got off ebay were invalid (including the Sandisk SD Card). I picked up a PNY High Performance 64GB Micro Secure Digital Extended Capacity (microSDXC) Flash Media Card from a local computer store, and after formatting to FAT32, everything works.
Moral of the story: buy your **** from a store.
I'm currently using CM 14.1 20161225 with a 32 GB SD NTFS formatted and experiencing some weird problems with Camera/Gallery, Music, etc. when on the SD.
So before I go back to FAT32 on a 64 GB SD I now have I would like to ask if anyone can comfirm exFAT would be working fine on titan CM14.1 or LineageOS?

Sorry no good option when pushing files over and back from Win10 so I would prefer to know exFAT experiences since Win10 should be working fine with it.

That's strange, i have no problems with mtp in win7, looks like win10 doesn't worth updating. Btw, i tried exFAT before and it strangely limited file size to 4 GB like in FAT32.
Hello,
I have a Moto G6 Play.
I was using a Lexar 128GB micro SD but the SD card does not work anymore so I bought a Verbatim 256GB micro SD card.
The Verbatim card is recognized and formated by my phone with its full capacity but if I copy my MP3 library on it, only the half of the library is usable.
I have tried to format and copy in differents ways (on my phone, on a PC) but the problem is the same.
Afterwards, I saw on the Motorola website that the maximum capacity of a SD card that works with the Moto G6 Play is 128 GB.
My question :
Is there a way to make the 256GB micro SD card to work on the Moto G6 Play?
Thanks for your help!

Have you tried splitting it into multiple partitions?
I am currently using a SanDisk 256gb MicroSD card in my Motorola G6 (non play) with no issues.
Where did you get this "verbatim" MicroSD card from? I know there are a ton of counterfeit SD cards out there right now. I know there is a fake 512gb Verbatim going around from places like Wish too. When the price is to good to be true, it's because it is. If you paid under $40, it's probably bunk. They will appear to have their stated storage, even when plugged into a PC. What they do is delete stuff to make room for the new in a cycle.
+1 here for using a 256GB card, in my case it's a Samsung Evo+ card in the "standard" G6. No partitions or funny business required, I just removed it from my Samsung Galaxy S8 that I was retiring and put it into the G6 where it's working from the get-go.
I am posting this here because I too was curious about this before I bought my G6 and was seeing conflicting advice. Personally I would agree that any issues with the 256GB card is probably down to a defective or counterfeit card.
Every model of the G6 should support sdcards over 256gb. If formatted as external storage the G6 series uses exfat, which has a volume size limit of 128 petabytes. They don't even make cards that big... yet. If formatted as internal storage I forget which it is, but it uses either f2fs which has a limit of 16TB, or ext4 which has a limit of 1 exbibyte. If you really wanted to throw a 1TB card in there, you could.

Yes, it does - apart from the obvious formatting overheads and rounding inherent to media such as this.
+1 for card being fake 256GB, I use Samsung Evo 256GB with no issues
When all else fails, be sure to use the SD Card Formatter released by the SD Association. It is the de facto standard for low-level SD memory card re-formatting.
I suggest to use Minitool Partition Wizard --> initialize SD card to MBR (by right - click on the appropriate drive) --> close MPW --> Reboot System --> Open SD Card Formatter --> full format (check the box) SD Card. This will restore and optimize blocak-size, fs-formatting and partition configuration to get the best performance. The above process also will reveal the actual size of the card.
Note: Powering of the system, disconnecting any batteries, and removing the card prior to performing above process is ideal as hardware and software can fall into non-typical states in the course of operation.
Warning: A fake card may brick by performing these process' but then again it was going to be useless anyway.
Greetings!
I purchased a new SD card from SanDisk with 400GB.(didn't use my old one on this phone because of low storage size)
My problem is that i'm unable to copy/move/delete files to my SD card.
I can't even create a new folder.
I tried several explorers and activated the permissions for writing but no success.
I was also trying another SD card but the same problem.
If I format the card over my phone as internal storage the phone freezes, formatting as external storage is working though.
I also formatted the card on my PC but still the same issue.
Remounting the card in the settings sometimes works for a few seconds.(creating a folder,etc..)
My razer phone 2 has the newest FW with Android 9.

Heya buddy,
Just a quick enquiry, from where did you purchase your MICROSD? it sounds like you may have a fake card, the memory size is worrying indication, normally cards are sold in denominations of 32, 64, 128, 512,GB not 400 GB. Have you run a check to see if it's reporting the correct capacity size on a SD card checker. Sounds like it's a fake and when it tries to format, it goes into a loop state and crashes as the card is formatted over and over and over trying to reach the stated size but never reaches it due to it not being 400gb in size.
Sorry to spread the bad news, have had the same happen to me, I am so dam careful over which company I buy my cards from.
Let me know if I can help.
Yours

Ok, that clears up the possibility of it being fake good good..
..hmmmmm. Do you have any old phones at your disposal that have a card slot? If so,. Try it in those and see if you can access it and read/write/modify files on it. Maybe format it with another device and then stick it in the razer and see if it works.
I'm sure now that cards a real deal as Amazon don't seem to allow frauds to be sold the only other thing I can think of is that it's a faulty card, it happens, they are just mass produced. Maybe a replacement if it's dudd.
I am having an SD card issue as well. I have had my Razer Phone 2 since last Monday brand new from Ebay. I purchased a Samsung 128GB class 10 (u3) SD card for it from Amazon. If I format the SD card as "internal", it shows that there is 131GB's of system files on my SD card. It shows I'm using 131GB's of storage from a total of 320GB's. The Razer Phone 2 has 64GB;s plus my 128GB SD card which would be 192GB;s total. I have tried many file manager apps, move to SD apps, etc and I cannot transfer any files. When I format the 128GB SD card as "portable", it shows the correct amount of storage space in both the phone and the card but once again I cannot transfer any files to the card. I have tried a 16GB SD card as well. The phone did recognize it and read the available storage on the phone and the card correctly. I did not format that card as I have music, photos and documents on it. I did try to transfer an app from my phone to the 16GB card and once again I could not do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and take care.
I have had similar problems with my Razer2. It ruined a 512g scandisk brand microsd card. Copying, or moving files, is a real problem for this device! It hangs up sometimes and ruins the files. Never had these issues, this bad, with any other phone
I have a bunch of music on my SD card, my music app sees some of them. If I move the whole folder to my phone storage, music app sees all. If I boot to twrp (per arters kernel) and try to backup to external SD card, it fails. If I save it to the phone, works fine. It's like it doesn't constantly see the SD card slot properly.
Exfat is needed with art kernel. Stock formats as vfat a old file system. I have a 400gb exfat formatted and works perfectly
I'll have to look into getting that kernal
