Will it work on the xda IIs?
It may. A user on another forum just reported succesfully using a Tanscend 4gb card in his XV6600 even though he was told it would only support 2gb...http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61612
Have tested with 2GB SData SD card myself, works fine. Didn't have 4gb but it should work as well.
The SX66 supported SD list was created back when the highest SD card was like 512meg or 1gig, that's why the supported lists are different
hi, thanks for the replies. i see it everything should be fine using a 4gb sd card.
due to the nature of the BA, and as far as i kno all other fairly recent PDAs they will support all current and future SD cards as they don't suffer the limited memory addressing of smaller less complex devices such as normal mobile phones like nokias and digital cameras
i've read somewhere the SD card standard will theoretically go up to 16gb, lets hope they arn't too far away, and that the BA will support it.
Still hoping some random company will develop and release an SDIO USB host though. Damn the BA not having Compact Flash.

Much cheaper, and from SanDisk...
1 GB SD which doubles as a USB thimbdrive w/o need for adapter. MSRP $134.99
So, it looks like there's already a SDXC card. It's 32GB and read/write speed can hit 50MB/s. Not too shabby. Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody knows about any work being done on a driver for this; either by HTC or a third party.

I'm sure there is work being done, but not for any devices currently in existence. SDXC is not compatible with SD/SDHC devices.
Current expectations are for SDXC devices to begin hitting the market around the first of the year, according to CNET.
Which, of course, is a vast conspiracy aimed directly at me, since I was planning to get a Touch Pro 2 just about that time of year, and within 6 months HTC will come out with an SDXC-capable device.
doies this mean the 32 gb sdhc has been cancelled
i heard the 32 gb sd would be a hc not a xc

FYI, 32GB SDHC cards are already in existance, however, I am guessing that you mean 32GB microSDHC cards. In that case...
If you recall, 4GB preSDHC cards never got made by major manufacturers when the SDHC spec came out (even though 4GB was the theoretical preSDHC max). However, small manufacturers did make the 4GB cards and they were easily obtainable on eBay. I infact have a 4GB miniSD from back them.
I would guess that even if the major manufacturers do the same, that is skip over 32GBmicroSDHC cards, the gap will be filled by smaller manufactuers looking to make a buck.
no ui was just wondering
id heard report on a 32 and 128 gb micro sdhc cards
i was wondering if the sdxc was taking over this

32GB has always been proclaimed as the theoretical limit to SDHC, as I understand it - in the sense that it might be possible to create that much storage on one, but no had done it yet, so it's not proven. However, more than 32GB is not possible with the SDHC standard, so if you heard reports of 128, it was likely referring to SDXC.
I image that once SDXC hits the market, SDHC probably won't have much more than 4 or 5 years of practical life left in it as device makers migrate exclusively to the more advanced technology - rather like you don't see many floppy drives anymore.
It would be nice if it could support higher than 32gb. Unless the hardware specifications changed for SDXC, software should allow it to use higher capacities right?
Did you get an answer to this by the way?
Cheers
I'm pretty sure Desire only allows up to 32GB, wich is quite alot but if you wan't mre, the only way is to have another micro sd, maybe tucked away under the battery cover and switch them when required!!!
I thought so too - but then also I thought I read that sdxc was supported in Desire... I only have 8GB SD at the moment - which is enough for now
This would be a nice addition for our Galaxy S II

Does the SGSII support micro SDXC? I've read conflicting reports.
Nope, it only supports SDHC, not SDXC.
Any SD card over 32GB is an SDXC card. Which the SGS2 is not compatible with.
yea as far as i've read, sgs2 supports only up to 32gb sdcards.
why would u need such a cards.. 32g is more then enough, especially if u own 32gb version of device..
To each his own. I filled up my 16gb sdcard with music and podcasts...need more space

Very silly question. if i had a 500gb microsd i could still fill it with ease.
Can 64GB sdcard put in Galaxy S2?
This is why there will be SGS 3
too bad it cnat read SDXC my 32 gb sdhc is almsot full after 2 days
why not? afaik, the hardware should be able to read it, just at lower speeds (as even a "SD 1.0" reader is able to read SDXC, you just need the drivers...), and android supports eXfat, too.... so it SHOULD support it.... but not quite sure about that.... greets
Sgs2 can only support up to 32gb max (microsd) ,so who cares about this crap
And tell me how you're going to install drivers on your phone... sigh

its nice to have a 64gb microSD SDXC .. the SDXC can be upgraded upto 2TB within 5~10years .. just imagine a phone with 2TB microSD

I think there's a lot of regurgitating of essentially "what the box says" in this thread. You are correct, the hardware interface of SDHC and SDXC is exactly the same, so our hardware completely supports these new cards. The question is in software, which is hard to tell from what I've read. Wikipedia has this little gem to say:
"Other operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem."
Since Android does support exFAT as you point out, it seems fairly plausible that these new cards would work in the GSII.

Early micro SDHC devices only officially supported up to 16gb cards, but could read 32gb cards. So what it "supports" isn't clear, since drivers may not be needed at all.

My old Laptop, wich was supposed to only support max 2 GB "SD" Cards ("SD 1.0") got just recently a driver update, and now it reads my 32GB Micro "SDHC" cards ("SD 2.0") without any problems...

I've always been amongst the first to adopt higher storage micro SD cards (ever since the 4GB ones came out). At every step the official specs for phones only said compatible up to the previous highest storage amount, and yet they worked. This is a different standard, so higher chance it won't work, but nevertheless there is a chance they may work.

Does anyone know for sure if this phone is compatible with 64gb microsdxc cards. I need more storage and there are reports of these cards working with a lot of android handsets. I'd love to use my phone with a 64 gig card but if not I might have a reason to upgrade to a S2.
nope, max it can take is 32
no chance man
@bortak: is there any proof or is it just according to the official htc specs of the desire?
my opinion is: we can't tell unless somebody bought a 64gb microsdxc and put it physically in a htc desire to see what happens. until then i am not willing to loose my hope ;-)
greetings from a tropical paradise

well theres no proof but for sure you can try it but who want to buy a 64gb card if it probably wont work with the device? and why should htc give wrong specs to us(the customers)?
In my opinion are 32gb more then enough, if someone want to try it with the 64gb card, just try it!

Far as I know NO known devices even support SDXC so.. there you go
These 64GB sdxc still aren't widespread are not compatible with sdhc devices.
The HTC Desire does not accept SDXC cards.
@bortak and crimnous: just check this link http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
@loler90: for instance in germany you can place an order at every (german) internetshop and you always have the right to open and test the goods and return it within 14days or a month (i do not remember exactly) without any reason. your money is refunded completely if the value of the product is above 40 euros otherwise you pay the shipping costs. so i could imagine someone give it a try without the risk of loosing 160 euros which is the current price of a 64gb microsdxc on the german market.
greetings
peter
@peter_altherr iknow it, i am german, but it sucks if you have to go to the shop again to give it back
anyways the package of the sd card sucks
Fact: Desire supports only SDHC cards. End of story.
terepin, have you already tried it (reformat a microsdxc to fat32 and put it into a desire), so you can say fact?

I would be wary of using a SDXC card long term even if it works at first. My Lexar 32GB SDHC Class 10 worked fine for a couple of weeks in my HD2 utilising a 1GB EXT3 for apps, but then corruptions crept in on the EXT3 partition. Even after a reformat/reset of the phone, a couple of weeks later the same thing happened.
I spoke to HTC who reckoned that class 4 is supported on HTC phones but no higher. Something to do with access times being slow as the pay off for high transfer speeds, thus corruption occurred since the HD2 was not handling the slow access times appropriately.
So, an SDXC may appear to work but you better make sure you have a good backup regime in place that doesn't rely on the SDXC at least until it has proved itself over some considerable time.
Meanwhile my class 10 SDHC is now working perfectly happily in my Xoom tab.
this explanation sounds really strange to me, sorry.

Maybe it sounds clearer if I put it like this:
Either Lexar's implementation of the Class 10 standard, or the Class 10 standard itself is not supported by the HTC HD2, according to HTC Customer Support. A year ago they told me this - it may have changed for newer models but that was their stance back then. The HD2 & Desire are likely to share some common hardware regarding SD cards cos they were release quite close together.
In my practical experience, the Lexar Class 10 32GB microSDHC, using a 1GB EXT3 partition with the rest in FAT32, apparently worked fine for a couple of weeks. Then the HD2 failed needing a reinstallation of the ROM/EXT.
After this reinstallation, it happened again after a couple of weeks.
Since using a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 with 1GB EXT3 & the rest in FAT32, & the same ROM, the problem did not repeat.
I am awaiting delivery of my Sandisk 32GB Class 4 which will be similarly configured & I am confident it will be fine too.
What makes me wary of the idea of using a SDXC in an "unsupported" device is that incompatability may not show immediately - it may take some time in use to corrupt something vital to the operation of the device (eg. apps on an EXT) or your data.
Just saying - take care!
incompatibilities between certain sdcards and controllers in cardreaders are nothing new they exist since those devices are existing. I would not blame it to the class10 standard which in reality is no standard itself it is a part of the sdhc standard. classXX defines just a speed class guaranteeing you certain permanent read/write data rates.
i fully agree with the rest of your comment. operating something out of its specs requires special attention.

I know I'm dragging up an old thread but thought you may like to know. I've been running an sdxc card in my Desire for a few months now and all is well. The card is nearly full and working fine with an EXT4 partition for apps. I've found some implementations of apps2sd+ can be a bit temperamental but the version in Mildwild Oxygen is working fine
The only thing I had to do was reformat the card to fat32. I've no longer needed to carry an iPod and happy that I can transfer the card to a new phone when I move on

Sorry for reviving a necro thread, but could you share which vendor, and product that you use? (I've just found that there's a big difference in what SD cards that works well with my phone)

It was a Sandisk from Amazon. I would guess Sandisk have probably changed the card since mind as I'd got it when they were first released. I did find it had problems when formatted in exfat on my S3 but it worked fine formatting back to fat32. Sandisk apparently fixed this in later versions.
