Hii Everyone,
I am having a 32gb sd card right now in my phone. So they(brand and websites selling this phone Mmx Canvas A1) say that our phone supports 32gb expandable memory via sd-card. But in other thread i read that it is supporting a 200gb card. So, since my sd card is full, i was thinking of buying 64gb card. But please first of all let me know that if it really supports it..??
Please mention if u had 64 gb card in your phone.. or maybe if u don't have a 64 gb card then can share your experience. Thanks in advance.
Bro, if a 200 GB card is working, then a 64 GB one would definitely work.

Yes sprout 4 gen 1 does support 64 GB SDXC micro sd card and also higher capacity. I am the one who's currently having a 200 GB sandisk micro sd card and previously had the strontium 64 GB sdxc memory card that did worked fine.
Most of latest phones do support 64 GB sdxc memory cards. If the phone supports sdxc ( Secure Digital Xtended Capacity) which supports eXFat format which is microsoft patented, so that sdxc cards are pricey than sdhc (upto 32 GB) which supports fat32.
You may reformat to any readable format after buying an sdxc card (like fat32, ntfs, ext etc). However it's advisable not to mess with the format unless until you know what you 're doing,
You may blindly go for a 64 GB micro sd card. It will work out of the box
thank you

Thanks buddy, so i will order a card tomorrow. But here are two more questions in my mind..??
1) Reading sd card is situated with which part of phone. Is it hardware,software(rom) or the kernal?? Coz u mentioned there that u were using cm12.1 beta5(i am on official marshmallow 6.0.1 with thunderzap 5.1 kernal and phone is rooted)
2) Why they (brand and sellers) had written 32 gb expandable only (sorry, i must ask it from micromax itself. I will surely mail them )
And 1 more (SanDisk Ultra® MicroSDXC™ 64GB 48MB/S UHS-I Card) is good to go....

1) Both hardware & software, In windows starting from windows xp to 10. (xp needs update patch to support eXFat). In mac version 10 and after will support eXFat, so as that older andriod version (Before andriod 2.3 Ginger bread) and host devices (old phones with limited hardware spec specially ram below 1 GB) don't support sdxc sd & micro sd cards.
2) It's because sdxc format reached the enduser in 2010. Most of the newer hosts (phones) that came after 2010 with decent spec will support sdxc cards. Irrespective of OS (Either it be Mac, Windows, andriod etc.).
And why manufacturers don't mention it. Because if they mention it in the official spec, you won't go for higher end models. If a 5k phone can officially support 200 GB card then most people don't even think of higher end models above 10-25k. Even today manufacturers for their own good will not mention in spec of low budget phones that sdxc micro sd cards are supported
You may go for the card brand of your choice, since you 're using it on a low budget device. The card read/write speed doesn't matter.
Thanks again bro,
All doubt's been cleared.

Droid bionic has a max 32 gb external sdcard limitation. is this a hardware or software limitation?
thinking if it was software, could I create 2 partitions on 64gb card and mount extra partition in vold.fstab as usb1 or sdcard-ext2 or something?
thanks.

I do not know if this helps or not but my Samsung Precedent is supposed to have a 16gb SDcard limitation but I have a 32gb card in it and it reads it as such. AlI I can say is stick the card in and see what happens. Once I get my Bionic up and running I plan on moving the card to from phone to phone. Good Luck and hope it works.
I've been using a 64 GB card (SanDisk Extreme SDXC) with no problems.

Is the OS JellyBean?
is the card formatted exfat or fat32?
Is it class 6 or class 10?
thanks.
Note: reason I'm asking is I have been reading problems with class 10 micros SD drawing too much power and exfat not being recognized with usb thumb drives and I wasn't sure if that carried over to the Micro sd card(for those with a y cable, an OTG cable, and powered hub)
Software problem only, reformat the card as fat32, your phone will ask to do this, and it will work fine.
Been using my sandisk 64gb card for a year without issue in my Droid 3 and now on my Bionic.

I broke down and bought a sandisk 64gb micro sdxc
picked up a sandisk 64gb sdxc class 10 from best buy for $35 yesterday.\
It would not read in my bionic because it is formatted exfat file system. Android no like. ext2 or fat32 is preferred if your a windows user def fat32.. problem with formatting anything that large using windows is you need utils found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735
that diddn't work for me so I used easeus partition manager to delete partition on card and create a primary (not extended) partition that was unformatted. I then used the fat32format.exe from the link above to format the card all of which was done in windows xp
working now.
I'm sure there are some things here that are not neccessary but this is what worked for me after a few failed attempts.
do not copy files form your old card until you put a couple files on the new card and test it. you will just end up wasting your time when it doesn't work and you have to reformat it again or repartition it again and copy..... again. I copied 29g to the card like 3 times. lol.
my entire music collection will be with me at all times now!
64gb MicroSDXC is 30$ on Amazon (US).
I got one and it is working flawlessly in my bionic. I was running CM11 at the time, but have jumped a couple of ROMs since then.
I copied all files off of my old card to PC (using the card slot), formatted the new card IN MY PHONE, then copied the files on to the new cardPure success. No errors or anything.
Just my experience though! Bionic isn't supposed to handle 64gb cards, but mine did just fine.
64 megabyte SD card
I also purchased a 64 megabyte SD for my bionic and it works great.
OK so I checked with my local O2 store and they confirmed my Xperia Z will accept a 64GB Micro SD Card, so I bought one - transferred all the dats off the 32GB Micro SD Card onto the 64GB card with no problems, I insert the 64GB card into the Xperia Z - I check under the storage tab and it shows 24.5GB of the new SD Card has been usd but, the inbuilt walkman and PowerAmp refuse to play any of the files - they all play perfectly from the 32GB card but nothing plays off the 64GB card ........... is there something I'm doing wrong?
You might need to format your sdcard with exfat.

That made things worse! Most of the files have vanished from the card - it just shows 4GB have been used and not the 25GB loaded onto the card.
Ok it's now sorted, had to format exFAT to FAT32, maybe that's what I was told to do? If yes then I apologise! I used this tool to foomat exFAT to FAT 32 : Hmmmm seems I can't post links yet, so the tool is titles "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3", it's completely free, run as Admin.
Maybe it'll help somebody else out.
only new version support exFAT, otherwise use FAT32 format.
In the usermanual is written "Sd Card usable up to 32GB" --> sdhc is supportet and NOT sdxc.
Hallo everybody ,
i bought a 64 GB SD Card for my S3 LTE, Im currently on PAC Rom´s nightly (JB 4.4.2) and everything works fine.
My 16 GB Sd works without any Problems, also did my 8 GB one´s
If i insert my 64 Card it´s also working ok, i can copy paste anything to it and use the moved data.
BUT.
Here´s the point.
If i Restart the Phone or remount the Card it shows up "preparing sd card" and nothing happens.
i thought it may take a little bit longer but 2 day´s should be more than enought
Tried it several times, only way to use it again is to format it.
So if there is data on it, it doesn´t work, empty everything is fine.
Any suggestions ?
May be a littlebit crashy english but im from germany and in a Hurry right now hope you understand everything

Ok, first: Are you sure it's a 64 gb one ? Test it.
Second, how and where are you formating it ?
Had the same problem with my 32GB* micro SD card on my S3 I9305 LTE, it kept saying preparing SD card, it was constantly mounting and unmounting. It was due to the fact the the 32GB card was a Chinese counterfeit. It says 32GB on both the card and in settings>storage, but when tested using H2W, it was only 4GB. I bought an original Samsung 64GB Micro SD and the problem was resolved. Almost all the cheap memory card found on eBay are counterfeit. Buy your card at an official distributor of the brand. don't be tempted by the cheap ones on eBay.
It's a 64 gb card, I formatted it with paragon and it worked, it also said 64gb, I formatted it into exfat, ntfs, fat, and fat32 neither worked :/
Any solutions?
Try on a computer if you can actually store 64GB of data on the card, and then read it back successfully. H2testw is the best way to do this.

Same here with different ROMs and a Sandisk 64GB (real ) -...
Tested all kind of ROMs and kernels to no avail
Gave up and live with 32GB since ....
According to the official information for the Lenovo K3 Note it only supports MicroSD cards upto 32 GB. I tried my Kingston 64 GB card and it doesn't work but I am hearing that people have gotten 64 GB cards to function in their phones.
Can anyone confirm one way or another whether 64GB cards can work in this phone? If so are they specific makes / models?
Many thanks in advance.
Try formatting the SDcard in FAT32, 64GB/128GB uses the ExFat format, that's why your K3 note won't see it, this SoC don't support exFat. When you put your Sd in the phone it won't offer a formatation to work?
It didn't appear to offer any formatting options but I will give it another go.

I had to format mine on a laptop before the phone recognised it
Well it seems like good news. I put the card into an SD card adapter and then into the PC. It loaded some drivers and recognised the thing. I then formatted it using NTFS and reinstalled it on the phone. This time the phone recognised it as either an empty card or a card that needed formatting so I re-formatted it once more and it registers as a card with 58 Gb free. Yippee!!!
Currently copying the 32 Gb card onto the new one using my PC. Hopefully it will go well and then I'll copy some more stuff over just to see that it will genuinely go over the 32 Gb limit.
So far....so good
Hi,
Can you please post the further testing of 64GB Card. I am planning to buy 64GB card Class 10 SDHC please help me with your review

Well I have been using the card for the last month and all fine. I switched to limoncelo this morning and the card is still recognised with no problems. For reference this is a Kingston 10X 64 GB card. I don't know if other cards might be problematic or not. All I can say is that this is a safe option.
Limoncello nice too....
I am using Sandisk 64GB class10 UHS-1 card directly on the phone, from the day I got the phone, without any issues...
if you go to mediatek "engineer mode"> 3d tab "hardware testing> "IO" >"MSDC" >"MSDC SD3.0 TEST
There are various options such as "sd3 mode: sdhc highspeed, uhs sd12 etc etc.
Does anyone have more information on what these options mean and if they can bring any change in sd card recognition?
just wanted to share i had a sandisk transcend class 10 32 gb, 2 weeks ago i got my chinese 512 gb class10 sdhc as for test purpose for 9$ of ebay. in benchmarks it scores better.
however all works, currently i am on the phoenix rom with exfat file system support.
i just installed my 64gb sd card, and let the phone format it as portable sd card. now i have 59G ! this is under 1606 Cuoco92 custom rom.
Anyone else get any errors when formatting their SD Card? I have a Samsung 64GB
Has anyone tried to use 64 or 128 GB SD Card in their devices? Does it work properly?
Well it should. I remember using 16gb cards my old phones, who were supposed to support only up to 8 gb. Check this out:
http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-g-2015-and-sd-cards-everything-you-need-know
Just be sure to get a fast sd card.
Yes, my Thea has a Samsung 64 GB sdxc class10 and works fine.
Some users replys problems with Samsung, some with SanDisk, ... The Moto-Support says it must be a class 10 until 32 GB...
They can read exactly the manual...
