i am forced to use my 2gb memory card, since somehow my 8gb card doesn't work anymore, like if i was to put it in my phone it would freeze, or wouldn't show up in the sdcard settings, and when i put it in my sdcard adapter and put it in my comp, it still doesn't show up and my comp starts slowing down and freezes, but i'm planning on getting a new card for my aria(until the htc atrix comes out hehe) but will a 64gb card work on the aria or the highest is 32gb, cause if 64 will work it'll make my iTouch pretty much worthless, but even if a 32gb will work i'ma get rid of my iTouch
Max supported is 32.

Don't get Kingston cards unless marked being made by Japan. Just got a Taiwan make and boy... less than 1 MBps speeds on a class-4 card is pretty not awesome.

HTC is coming out with a comparable device.
Working for MCO, Kingston would mix and match where cards were made. Just because the 1st one out of the box was legit, didnt mean the 2nd was.
Backflip indeed was horrible but it opened me up to a new OS and now I love Android.
Im running a 32GB SDHC card, gave my girl my 8 and have a bowl of cards. None have given me issues on my phone with any of the ROMs. My GF has a Incredible and doesnt have any issues either.
Yes, this thread is worthless.
FYI, Google makes the Atrix...lol
Actually motorola makes the Atrix.seeing as it was out well before the Google buyout.

Totally derailed.
In any case, I thought the max was 16GB! So, no not worthless IMO.
I suggest you get a Sandisk on e-bay perhaps class 6 or 10 so you can run your ROM's cache and Davlink in there. I'm I right? eh? eh?

I just bought a 32gb class 4 micro sd card and after formatting it via my desire Z, i keep on running into a really really wierd problem.
I would connect my phone to the computer and set it as disk drive and drag/drop a group of files in it (ie. playlist file or small ringtone files) and as soon as I eject it and unplug the cable from my phone, the files are suddenly gone again.
What am I screwing up and how do I fix this?
Is it possible that my format method is wrong? if so, can someone explain what's the best way to format the card properly.
Why did you even format it in the first place?? Don't fix what's not broken...
What OS are you using on your computer?
I usually format every card i get as a habit. Don't know why, I was just taught to do that and never really thought it would hurt.
I'm using Windows 7
Try format it from your computer to FAT32

All SD cards, thumb drives, etc. are already formatted, usually FAT32, so you are wasting your time doing exactly what is already done. If you were to format to something besides FAT32, that would make sense.

Well, again, it's just a habit, but nothing wrong with it I believe. I waste maybe a few minutes doing a quick format.
But yeah, I'm sending the card back to the seller for an exchange so hopefully it's just bad luck. If not I'll have to spend more money on a better card eventhough this one is a Kingston class 4 which was unsettling....

So I just got a 32GB sd card to replace my 16GB one. My 6 year old iPod doesn't hold a charge and the headphone jack doesn't work anymore. So my thought was now use my phone as my iPod (good bye Apple).
I was surprised at how easy it was to put the new one in. Plug it into the computer along with your phone and copy all of the app data (and pictures, etc. you want) onto the new one. Unmount the one in the phone, and put the new one in.
Not only do I now have double the space, but my phone is much snappier. I used the same class and brand, so I figure it must be the way the app data was written to the new one. Instead of apps randomly installing files while downloading/saving on your phone, I think the one way ticket across platforms put them in nice and neat.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is my assumption off the mark?
Shhhh! ... don't tell any Apple users about this. Its a secret. Changing the battery and adding memory, priceless!
Can't say I've noticed any speed increase, but it's a good path to take for your music. I had to go all the way to a 64GB card (yes, they do work) to hold all mine - and the various ROMs I tend to hold onto.
64gb for the win.

I have a new c10 16GB card for it and I'm wondering about the optimal setup. Any tips?

I am not doing anything special with my card except for storage and the phone runs great. I've just got it O.C.'d with the V6 supercharger script. Maybe someone else cam chime in who has played with partitions and whatnot.

Nothing special here either. I just recently got my 32gb sd card and that was only because I needed more storage. Music and rom backups were filling up my card. Performance wise it runs great with nothing special done with the card.

Sounds like the card may just be faulty?
I have had one incident with my current SD card recently where it wiped itself but fortunately it hasn't happened again. I have a 32 GB Class 10 also. I have read of other experiences with QC issues with lesser known brands like "Patriot" (my current) or "PNY". I think for my next one I'll spend the extra dough and go Samsung. I hear those are built like tanks

Hi all, just noticed my 16GB Note 2 has only 10.36gb available. Should it be more than that ?
normal i believe. after system files and things like that i have like 9 and change free
This is quite annoying really. What makes it worse is that you can't move programs/apps to external SD Card ATM.
its not so much a bummer for me bc i dont install much. i love the phone so much i over look this :good:
True. We need to get the App 2 SD implemented. There are so many games i would like to install and haven't because of this reason.

Blows my mind that some people don't understand that 16gb will NEVER mean 16gb of usable space for users. And with microSD cards being so cheap I don't get why it would ever even be an issue. Best Buy had 64gb Sandisks on sale last week for $39...

Try installing 1 GB games on the SD card without rooting and without having the App 2 SD option.
App 2 SD option is needed urgently.
it doesnt mean I dont undersrand, it just isnt acceptable to loose nearly 6gb of storage space. Loosing 2gb is acceprable but nearly 6gb is apalling. Can you point me in a working workaround to install apps to external sd card then as the only one I can find a lot of people are saying it doesnt work or function very well.
Maybe you can use Directorybind? Works for me, doesnt work if you are not rooted tho

So I am already the proud owner of a 16gb Galaxy S3. Lets just say I didn't get the best deal but hey I wanted the phone extra bad. The phone I had before it was the G2X, crappest phone ever, and my mom said she wanted it. Just as expected the G2X gave her problems, she's had at least four replacements since Aug. So finally T-mobile was gon to crave in and do an alternate exchange, and the offer a mytouch Q which is not even close to the same specs of the G2X and she had just switched from that phone. So I was told that it was nothing else that could be done, so I asked for the Loyalty Dept. the rep was really nice and stated that I could get a 16gb Galaxy S3 for $279. I thought that was a lil pricey and her upgrade is due in Feb,. I told the rep I'd call back and see what I had decided. So I called in this evening to take the deal, but the rep I got to sent me back to the Loyalty Dept. this rep offer me the 32 gb for the same price waiving all the fee and express shipping. So as of tomorrow I will be the proud owner of a 32 gb Galaxy S3 and my mom will get the 16 gb....Lame I know because I am already that S3 owner but I'm super excited. :laugh::victory:
For those that have the 32 gb, how much of the memory is actually available?
nice
I wish I had waited until the 32gig was available. I did just get a 64gig extsd card, but it's not the same.

I know don't get me wrong I love my 16gb but i was like wow the storage is really limited even though i barely used any think I have like 10.68 with 32gb memory card which isn't bad but I'm always looking at it. Hopefully now i can rest and go apps crazy well not crazy but not keep watching my storage...then i paid in the 400 range for my 16gb and paying 279 for 32 gb is steal to me cuz i love the s3
So basically you're paying $300 for like, 12gigs? Makes sense.......

I think it's more that the mom needs a phone. Had a chance to upgrade to 32g so did it and is excited about it. Do you need to rain on their parade?
I guess it's sweet OP is giving their old phone to their mom for Christmas but I still don't see spending the money. The 16gb one has ~10gigs for apps. If you fill it up for apps your phone will most likely be slow, have crappy battery life, and use a ton of data. If you need space for music/pictures the external works fine for 1/20th the price.
Buy the 16GB model...buy the 64GB sdcard. Still cheaper than buyinf the 32GB and you'll have 80GB. I've foynd the 64GB card for $50 online.

I think thats what was bothering me that it look like simple apps what eating up the the little storage that was offered.
With a simple script you can go from 16gb to a 64gb. I have no slow down or loss of responsiveness. I am glad you were able to get something other then a my touch for a replacement but this could still interest even the ones with 32gb.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
No just be sure to transfer all of the internal contents to your external. The only ones you may want a copy of on your internal is your ring tones so if you don't want our external card in the phone still has the files. The only "duplicate" I see is astro showing four memory instead of two. This is only due to the fact the script runs after the phone boots. I do have fancy widgets and because the use a file on the internal card, when I first boot the phone they load the proper image after the phone loads the script.
