Fire Tablet issues with SD card and such - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All
So for Christmas I bought my mother a fire tablet 8 gig. The 8gb went really fast with her playing all these games. SO I bought her an SD card for it and installed it. Now even though all her game show they are on the SD card it still shows her with very little space and any time she tries to download something or play message pops up saying she is out of space even though she has a TON of room on the SD card. Its like it wont go to it. ANy idea how to fix?
Thanks in advance.

Maximum storage card capacity

Hi,
I want to buy a micro SD : I have seen that the maximum storage for micro sd was of 16 GB.
Someone has already tested a 32 GB storage card?
If yes, Does it work correctly?
Thanks for your answer.
it's works i don't now how becouse i just test my friends card.
Sorry for my English
Maybe it's was on android 1.6 (max 16), but 2.1 should be supported with 32GB
well, i got my X8 only a week ago, it's my first smartphone.
seriously, what do you guys want to store with 32GB card?
i can't imagine what to store in such space, i figure one could make a portable toilet out of it and still got some more space.
Movies (avi, wmv, etc). HD photos from professional photocameras, hi fi music like wav. Download a lot of stuff with torrent client and else. 32 GB really need for me.

Question was not what I do with all that storage.
Is it possible to have 32GB card in X8 I think that it support up to 16GB ??
I couldn't tell you, because I've bought an 16GB card (class10).
With the price of a 32 GB microSD, I could not fool me.
I think that 32GB is more money then the Phone
You are able to mount 32GB card I've just checked it out but the results are horrible - 500 MB of freshly copied music on the card, and now it is showed as "damaged" on the notification bar. I wouldn't recommend it to you.

I think the X8 will also work extrem slow with a sd card of 16 or 32gb
And with 32Gb class10? The read/write speed is biggest?
I believe that is not a question of card's speed, but more of device's ability to comprehend such a huge space. Just like with enormous hard drives in older computers.
ok.. maybe this out of topic..
what brand of SD card with class 6 or 10??
n where to buy??
im just unable to find it in my country.
in my opinion, 32gb can be handle with very well if this SD card are good.
i mean good SDHC
i found it in my country, designed for camcorder and etc..
but price also different
i just want 8gb with class 10..
currently i have 8gb, no class
my quadrant almost same with droid x, so i think if i have good SD card i can overlap droid x.
where to buy???
32 gb for a phone is a lot of capacity
Im using 32gb sandisk class 2 memory card in my galaxy s initially when it was 2.1 it was slow. But now after 2.2 update its okay. Only startup and shut down process Will take long time. class doesn't matter on phone it matters only when data is to be transferred from pc to phone . Max transfer speed Will be 2mbps in class 2.

there's a lot of good brand to choose actually, personally i'm using transcend.
what city are you in? in Bandung, you can try BEC. i bought mine from kaskus though, it has almost everything we look for
class.. hmm IMO it's unnecessary to use such a high class card. class 6 (6MB/s) is sufficient enough, because android apps are usually not really big, only 10-12 MB at most so no need for such a large data transfer rate.
Has anyone had good success with the 32Gb card? I dont want to buy one if it's just gonna not work properly.
thanks
Won't work
Chances are, it wouldn't work.
The Xperia X8 currently only supports up to 16GB of memory. If you go higher than that you would experience problems. You might be able to make it work for a few minutes then it might not be able to read the mem card.
Hopefully, in future updates we could use 32GB cards.
I've searched around, no walk-arounds on this yet. If I were you, I'd stick with 16GB. That's a lot of storage!

[Q] 32Gb external memory card problem (Hot + battery drain)

Hi all,
I have a Sandisk 32Gb micro SD HC (Class 4). <--- not sure if this competible with the NOTE. anyways, the problem I have as below.
Why I am looking problem into my sd card is that since I used my 32Gb card on my NOTE, my note seems getting hot when I use the files inside my card and the battery drain hella fast.
Case 1) I played a rmvb file format movie. Before I run it, my battery was like 90%, after it played like only 30 mins, it dropped to 70%. is it normal?!?! And at the same time, the back of my note is very hot, I believe it's of the memory card,
Case 2) When I move apps to SD, no matter one app or many apps having the same problem. which is my phone will get very hot, then restart itself, after restart, the singal is gone randomly.
Conclusion, is Galaxy NOTE compatible with the SD card I mentioned above?
sorry for my poor English.

Well.. It had nothing to do with the memory card.. I'm using the same 32GB scandisk.. I had no issues at all.. Try factory reset or do a full wipe.. If all else fails.. Samsung service center is you best bet.

I already did reset factory settings + erase sd card two times. I also brought my Note to Samsung, they gave my NOTE a new secondary motherboard which I donno what it is anyways. I still had the battery drain & hot back cover this morning while watching movies through memory card.

What kernel also rmvb might not be supported in codecs for hw accel so it might be eating cpu to run your vid and it will drain a bit of battery.
I donno about kernel thing. My Galaxy Note is still stock 2.3.6 without root. I am using MoboPlayer for rmvb playing. Just did another 30 mins playing, another around 20% battery is gone and the back of my NOTE is hot while playing.
have u tried the card in a other gadget?

Have you tried copying the movie to internal SD, removing the card, and playing the movie from internal memory?
If you still get the same behaviour then its more likely to be your phone heating up generally than anything else.
Mine gets quite warm when I have the WiFi on and am streaming video across my home network. Wifi + CPU/GPU intensive activities = heating, just like on any other device!
Also, try MX Player. Just in case its Mobo that is causing your problems.

I will try to copy the movie to my device i/o my card tonight and test.
I had MX Player before but I uninstalled it as it cant play my rmvb files.
about "note getting hot after new sd with tons of files":
this is due to the media server app indexing all your new files!
for example the gallery app creates a thumbnail of every picture on your SD!!!
this is as well the reason for high battery drain and a "hot" feeling (high cpu load while indexing) after a new rom flash...
if this persists over a few days (usually after a few hours the indexing is done) THEN you have a problem!
Class 4 read writes is very slow same as class 2. I switched mine to class 6 and never gets hot or affects battery as fast
checkout the link, theres a sale on class 10 32 gig. not pitching but wanted users to see

So, are you saying sd card reading speed slow will cause more battery usage and getting hot?
I got class 4 bcoz it's popular and easier to get. also I was told class 4 is enough for mobile
last night I walked by some computer stores and saw a new SD card (not sure if it new) Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32Gb (Class 6). Well, I donno if this is a good replacement to my current card - Sandisk 32Gb micro SD HC (Class 4).
The Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32Gb (Class 6) is about US$34.00
Should I change? Or just not much worth, and just save the money.
For media class 6 is better. Like photos and music etc. ...

I have the 64gb version of this card running on my note, I got it online from best buy for about $79 us (found it through heads up in galaxy note forums) . It has been an excellent card. I am a big fan of SanDisk they are quality cards and always perform at or better than their advertised specifications.. I'm not sure if it would be worth upgrading from a class 4 32gb to a 6 32gb unless you have another device to re purpose the old card. The performance difference is noticeable and might be worth it for shooting video etc.

So, is your 64Gb card Sandisk Mobile Ultra Class 6? It's abit expensive to me. I do have another old phone with 16Gb card already, not worth to replace with my old 32Gb card becoz I don't use thse phone much.
Sigh...Tough choice...
Thanks...
I was starting to panic. I ordered the Samsung 64 GB micro SD card just because I figured Samsung and Samsung would work together. It's been just over a day and my Note 3 was getting extremely hot. I initially thought about it permanently hurting the battery or the heat reeking havoc on my mother board or other internal parts. But it's seems to be cooling down as of this morning. I think the indexing is all done. If it starts again, I'll be looking for you though.

Storage issues: Sd Cards

Hey,
Can someone explain/clarify our phones storage to me.
It looks like we have 2 partitions on our phone...sortof ...
~8+GB of what it calls Phone storage, but is actually part of the phone storage.
And ~4GB of what it calls, Internal Storage...
BUT both are actually the phones storage?
This excludes any MicroSD card you may have put in the phone.
I have a SanDisk 64GB MicroSD Card... which so fare has been pretty useless on this phone...other than saving digital recordings...and photos (strangely the same photos are saved on the "Phone Storage" to although I have it marked for save to "Storage CArd")...
Can we move apps to our Micro Sd cards, like with the old WM phones?
Thanks for the clarification and help
BTW: I'm running the stock GB Rom
get the app apps2sd or link2sd

Nope. Mine has had 64GB card for months (almost a year now, bought not long after purchasing the phone)...working fine, like a number of other people on here.
Saves pictures, attachments, music, etc.
Here's an old post on it, I know I started one way back when too so there are a few about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563079
Got a ScanDisk MicroSDHC...or HX something 64GB class 6 for ~30 at BestBuy...
I'll try the app given...can anyone answer the partition questions?
I know the operating system takes some 5GBs, but I don't have +6GB of apps so I can't figure out where my Rom is going.

64 GB memory card support?

I know Moto G3 officially supports only 32 GB memory card, but I have read that 64/128 GB cards also work with it. Anyone here using 64/128 GB card?
Duplicate thread, my bad.
Moderators please delete this thread...
Supports but Lags
32 works well, when using 64 gb the phones lag a lot.
But it detects the 64 gb one too, if that was your question.
I have no problems (yet) with my 64GB card. At what moment does it lag?

If you format the card to FAT32 before using it in your phone, 64/128GB will work.
thanx you very much
i need to post any thing to 10
I'm using a 64gb sandisk with FAT32 filesystem. no lag. read it just fine.
Well Guys it's all depends on Phone that what it accept or not like my phone is just supportable only 32Gb & some phone supports more than 64gb card.
im using a 200gb sdcard in my phone fine
I currently have a 64gb in my Moto G 2015, all you have to do is format the card to Fat32 and it will work in this phone.

A 200GB microSD card should have cost as much as the phone itself, perhaps even a few bucks more.

I popped a new Samsung 64GB in mine, a week or two ago, it popped up and said something like "Unable to read card, would you like to format it?" (not verbatim, but that was the gist of it), I said Yes and it's been fine since then... No lag either, but I am only using about 5gb worth of space so far, mostly all music.

Same here with another Samsung 64GB. Phone wouldn't mount it but allowed formatting. Formatted it and put 60.38 GB of music on it and it has been working fine ever since!

True, I do have around 19k songs on Play Music, but unfortunately my daily commute to work is via Underground, so no signal for at least 50 minutes each way... I was originally going to use a 128gb card as my regular go-to library is @ 112gb...

Old thread I know, but I just put a 64GB Sandisk Ultra (80mb/s) card in mine yesterday. No issues so far, but it was tricky to find a way to format in FAT32 as Windows Explorer in Windows 7 wouldn't permit it. I eventualy used fat32format, which worked perfectly.

install or move apps to SD card?

Hey XDA developer dudes, I have just bought a 200gb SD card and I want to transfer some apps and games to it to reserve device space ... How do I do that? I don't recall it being so hard on my Note 3 years ago (except that SD cards were slow and burnt out after a short time back then - hopefully not the case today!)
Thanks!
Is there no way to do this?
