[Q] Have someone tried 32GB or SdCards with DHD?

So I think to invest in a very big SD Card 64 GB or even 128GB? As far as I remember it is said that the device supports SD cards with capacity up to 32GB. But if someone tried successfully running bigger SD cards, I will be happy to read positive experience.

I'm using a class 4 32gb card with no problems.

I've been running a class 10 32 gb card for 8 months now. No problems at all.

I too have been running a 32GB card all of this year with no problems. There have been reports that a 64GB microSDXC (the DHD takes the microSDHC cards!) runs on some phones. See .... http://androidcommunity.com/sandisk...working-on-multiple-android-devices-20110927/ ...
I was under the impression that this wouldn't work BUT .... the 64GB cards aren't cheap at the moment so I'd need to be absolutely sure they worked. Seems hopeful as they do work on the Sensation.
Anyone got one to try on the DHD??

i'm using lexar fast 32gb hcsd no probs so far, transfer speed 10 megs p/s ,its much cheaper than famously branded ones

No problems with 32gig class 10. As far as I know that's as high as you can go with the DHD.

Issue with MicroSDHC 32 G. Not seen by HTC desire HD with Rom ViperDHD v2.2.0
Hi everybody,
I rooted my HTC Desire HD and flashed with ViperDHD 2.2.0 with Android 4.0.4 and HTC sense 4.1
When I tried to change my old MicroSD 2 Giga with a Lexar MicroSDHC 32 Giga formatted FAT32, the system does not recognize any SD card. Is it a issue of the ROM, a problem of HTC Desire HD or ... ?
thanks for any suggestion.

the issue is the SD card. The rom creates files on the SD card and removing it takes away from the rom. So either you need to copy all folders from old SD to new one or just use phone to reformat new one.

Thank you for your fast replay.
It is strange because the phone starts with the ROM also without any SD card.
In any case I copied all the content from the old SD card [2GB microSD] into the new one [32GB microsSDHC Lexar] and it simply does not see any card in the card slot. I tried various restart and the microSDHC appears 'not present'.
I can't format the card by the phone because the card is 'not present'. I formatted in FAT32 and it works perfectly with my laptop.
Do I have to reflash the ROM or is it a issue with the 32GB microSDHC?
thanks again for your support

No first reformat sd card on computer again then place in phone (Dont move any folders to SD just place in phone). If that dont work reflash rom without wiping anything but dalvik cache so you dont lose any of your settings.
Last resort would be to do a full wipe and reflash rom if you dont mind starting over with the rom.
EDIT: The only folder I would suggest to copy back on to your new sd card is the 4ext folder. Your recovery may need this one.

I am using 32GB Sandisk (class 10) and I haven't problem with this sdcard

partitioning sd card

I have been reading that partitioning your SD card before installing roms is good idea. I have a 32 gb card and was thinking of partitioning using ROM manager. What is the ideal space for partitioning and ideal swap space?

i have the same size card in my evo and i use a 1 gig swap partition ...and it seems to like it also ....u can try that or try it like this
1. fat32 remaning space on card
2. ext2/3-1 gig partition
3. linux-swap -100mb partiton

What about the partition size? Also will partitioning erase my SD card?

Here is a guide.
Plus I would not use CWM. Use Amon RA.
And yes this will wipe the card. Back up to your pc.

Thanks! I will back it up before I partition it.

[Q] SD card chage!

Hi every1
i have desire hd with rom Runny Xtreme Surprise - v3.0.0 || Xtreme Fast || Sense 4 Xtreme Beauty... i had a 8gb sd card, but today i bought a new one with 32GB, so what i have to do to save all my apps and things that i have in my 8gb sdcard? i've read something in forum, but im confused a bit... i think i need to partition my new sd card... but i dont know how to do that...
and yes, i'm really noob on this
thnx

If you've never partitioned the old one, then no need to partition the new one. Copy the files from the 8 gb to the 32 gb and you're done.

no i've never partitioned it by my self, but does this happen when u root or something?
and how can i know if it is partitioned or not?

No. Root does not partition the sd-card.

Don't worry
Hi, mate. Don't worry and just copy the files from 8GB to 32GB.

yes i did that, and everything is working just fine... thank you all

Sd Card?

Which 32 gb 10 class for ZL? Samsung , sandisk , sony, transcend or which? Need to buy one soon.

samsung or sandisk both are good. Just so you know the 64gb sandisk works in our ZL's

i know 64 gb works but it's too costly for me so i am going with 32gb.

juct check my sig, im using 32GB UHS1 from sandisk and work well.

Me too. Iam abt to buy a card. But im scared that the card might get corrupted. Is dat corruption problem common in ZL too?? or only in Z?
So iam thinking of buying a Sony micro sd presuming it will not get get toasted!
So tell me a brand less prone to corruption
Thanks

When I got the phone, I just reformatted it using the phone. I never even looked in to what extension it's using. This was on 4.1.2, and it read it as 64GB then, though I believe the new update says it NOW allows 64GB. I just copied the card onto my computer, reformatted the card, and then put everything back on it. No problems up to this point, though I've only been using 4.2.2 for a few days.

I just picked up a 32gb Sandisk Ultra UHS-1 for it. (64gb was pretty spendy and far more than I really needed) I hope this was a good choice on my part, but judging by the comments it should be fine. I should have my Xperia ZL on Wednesday and will report back how it works out. (Just ordered it, got free overnight shipping)

I am using SanDisk 32 GB UHS-1. Just reformatted it with phone to see, what file system is used with new firmware. It is formatted in FAT32 by default. No problems so far.

Bought Sandisk 32GB 10 class 1-2weeks ago and it's working without any problem. :good:

Whatever you do, be wary of corrupt/mislabeled SD cards!
When you get your SD Card, always first check it out with a tool like H2testw or Check Flash and make sure that the reported size (32GB, 64GB) is indeed the actual storage capacity.
I once bought a 16GB flash drive that could only store 8GB of data; exceeding this 8GB would corrupt the data on the drive. H2testw proved that cheap deals online usually come with a price...

MicroSD Format Support

Hey guys I have a quick question.
I am about to buy a 64GB microSD card for my Xperia M and I was wondering if anyone knows what are the partition format types the
stock kernel supports. I have the impression that it only supports FAT32, which is kind of a bummer but not a deal breaker for me, but I might be wrong. Also things might have changed with the 4.3 update (which i haven't applied yet because of all the negative comments I read about it).
I have found through personal experience with past devices that as long as the card is formatted correctly the phone will be able to use it despite
the specifications saying otherwise. I have no interest in unlocking my bootloader in order to flash a custom kernel.
Share your knowledge please!

Well if you look at this thread i found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505383 or any thread about this type of thing on most phones the general consensus is that they do, if formatted in a way that the device recognizes. My question is if the Xperia m only supports FAT32 or if perhaps something has changed with the 4.3 update.

No 64GB support (exFAT) news in sony websites or their forums.:crying::crying::crying:
So we have to format it to FAT32.
I have been using 64GB card from the first day of usage.
You could format it to FAT32 from your device itself.
At-least we could get more storage space, right?
I have 2 64GB cards.
SanDISK & Verbatim
Both are UHS1 Class 10 cards.
Actually both had FAT32 file system, when I purchased those

Thank you spknair!
I guess I will have to format it in FAT32, which is no big deal, I just wanted to know if there were any other options.

Stock kernel has support for FAT32 and ext2/3/4. Any USB disk or SD Card of any size will work as long as it have one of those filesystems. Also, you may take a look in ext2 if you want to carry files bigger than 4GB in SD Card. However, the card will be readable only in the phone and in Linux OSes...
