Is it possible that SGS2 would manage micro sdxc 64gb Card?
gsmarena says no
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_ii-3621.php
but they could be wrong?
SDHC host -could- be compatible with SDXC card, but...
From what I'm understanding in the link below, the hardware in our handset won't be the problem with accepting an SDXC card... but we'll be waiting on Android to recognize such a card.

Sir you are correct, thats indeed the current problem. Although it is not a very big problems, since linux doesnt see the difference, thus accepting sdxc cards This could be fixed with a software update. Lets hope Samsung is watching us here
hm.... !!!
How hard would it be for a dev to implement it do you think?
Not that difficult IMHO.... Because hardware requirement for both types of cards are the same.... So only the cost factor & availability of high capacity storage are minimal. Hence they are not used commonly....
Otherwise imagine sgs2 utilizing 2TB of storage from sdxc ????? WOW !!!!!!
That would be sexy..... Devs are you listening ????
Any news with 64gb on sgs2? I know this is dead topic since a while, but there's 2.3.4 leaked already, anyone checked is it works now / discover how to make 64gig fully working?
Unfortunately, there don't appear to be any microSDXC cards on the market at the moment -- even full-size SDXC cards are a bit hard to come by.
Just HOW MUCH storage do you folks need
I'll get a 32GB SD card after ive purchased some other accessories first and that for me will be more than enough.

Exactly, I bought a 32gb card. It will record about 4 hours of HD video from camera! I do a lot of transferring.
Hello,
I would have bought a Galaxy Nexus a long time ago if the storage wouldn't be limited to effectively 13GB and no chance to extend the storage with a micro sdcard.
However I'm curious if it somebody would be able to replace the 16GB internal flash storage with a 32GB or maybe even 64GB module? It's certain that this person must have quite good knowledge of micro electronics.
So, would somebody be able to do this? I'm sure there would be quite a big interested people for such a device.
Possible or not?
Regards
Lenny
There is no SD card... It's made up of several chips... It's all ROM...
(ROM= Read only memory) Or, irreplacable..
Ahh, I see.

I think he meant is it possible to rip off these ROM modules and replace them (obviously a specialist job.) He made it clear in his post that he knew there was no expandable memory.

I shouldn't think that
He mentioned "SD card"... In other words, he thought, that there is an SD (A micro sd) inside the device...
Please, a tip, for life: listen(or in this case: read), think, think again. Read/listen aain, then say something...
Well, actually I'm talking about "internal flash storage" and this hasn't to be a SD card necessarily. However, i got it

This should be theoretically possible, but you'd really need some incredible soldering and desoldering skill. In fact, I think that if you tried to do this without some incredibly specialized machinery, you'd end up with a nice paper weight.
i might buy usb otg and plug my 32 gb micro pendrive.
A hot air rework station, a magnifying glass and a very steady hand would do. The steady hand is the hardest thing to come by. You can't order one off E-Bay, although I'm sure someone out there would try and sell you one.

That won't work. I can't remember if FAT32 can be formatted on a drive that large.
You'd have to do ext4 or NTFS or something. It would be sweet if our phones could read NTFS natively like the Asus Transformer Prime can.

^^^^^^^ This.
And, just like any other HDD advertised, there's rounding involved. That 250GB HDD you bought is actually only 236GB, or something like that. It's all about them rounding and dividing by 1000 instead of the proper 1024.
I believe my GS3 had more than 10 though?

The GS3 also doesn't have S Note and all the files required for the S Pen framework. It would make a little more sense.
In any case, the proper solution to this thread and its question is to man up and buy a 32GB MicroSD for $20-$30. It's a better solution anyways IMO. If you switch devices for any reason, all your important files are already on your MicroSD and ready to go. I switched to the GNII from an EVO 3D and I didn't have to copy over all my music and ringtones or other important files. I just put my my MicroSD in and everything was there.

Do a backup and you will see where it all goes, adds up quick on a beast like this. Largest back up on a phone ive had yet if im not mistaken it was a hair over 4gb
df -h shows 10.3G
I see total available memory as 10.3G, with only 2.3G free space. I'm on CM 10.2 on Galaxy Note 2. I went to TWRP, wiped internal storage, but still doesn't help.
df -h shows filesystem as 10.3G only - where is the other 6G? Why is it not getting used for custom ROM installation?

Partitioning is why.
Rounding isn't why.
It is because the user-usable-storage partition and the normally-non-editable system partition are counted together. Which makes no sense to common people, but makes perfect sense to advertising agents.
yep, it's that 6GB that samsung reserves for the system partition on just about all the devices they make. seems the should start adding 16GB , 10 useable like they used to do with old school monitors.

Are you new to computers, file storage, formatting, partitioning or just technology in general? The computer you're using to be online and on this website, what do the specs list as it's hard drive and what is really available? That 32GB microSD card you say you have, let me not shock you but if you look it up, it's really not 32GB, but ~ 28GB or so (give or take), really. The industry is to blame..really.

The problem is NM card is not much available in the market and hence only few have access to it. Need to wait for someone to have both with them.

That doesnt make sense Huawei release new technology and not including it in their flagship line up contradicts the purpose of introducing it.

Honestly, I don't mind if it's expandable or nor, but being it expandable would've been a great bonus.
What ever amount of internal storage you have I will prefer to have external storage when I wanted to change my device I would just move all my data to external storage and will use the same card in the new device it will prevent me the hectic work of copying data.

Just in case can you deep dig into settings may be there is a hidden settings or some option in developers options.
Did you try by formatting card to fat32 format?
That doesn't make sense realising a special card and not allowing it to use in flagships.
I don't get why Huawei released it in the first place.

Thanks. In that case it's a bummer.
May be they will enable it in future updates.
If it doesn't have the hardware to support NM, it's not something that can be enabled of fixed with a software update. I have had a mate 8,9 and 10. I refuse to buy the mate 20 because of this nano memory proprietary, inferior and overpriced cards.
I love my Nova 3 using my 400gb micro sd card. From what I've read, the Nova 4 also doesn't support memory expansion. These are fatal marketing errors by huawei.
Thank you all for the discussion.
