Whats the biggest micro card this phone will support. Are 32gb / 64gb even made?
i ordered this 16gb one, if there are 32 or 64 i want to know too
Kingston Technology SDC2/16GB 16 GB microSDHC Class 2 Flash Card
At the moment the largest card is 16GB.
16g is the largest, but 32g is coming out soon. My guess is that they will be quite expensive and no word on speed. While the class (speed) is in write mode only, it does make a difference when using the camera or writing files to the card.
I got a Ridata 16gig Class 6 microsd three days ago and works great!

The largest Rhodium supports is 32GB.
SDHC specs out at 32GB max.
I think only a few companies make 16GB Class 6 cards. Transcend being one of them. I don't think you can get 32GB ones just as yet and no way you can get a Class 6 one anyway.

and i think before they release 32gb SDHC they'll go the SDXC way with 64 & 128gb model.
if you plan on getting a Transcend card for use with a GSM TP2, be careful. There have been reports of Transcend cards not working well with the TP2. I personally experienced it, when my Class 6 8GB card would randomly disappear from the phone, or when music would skip during playback. Switched to a Sandisk Class 2 8GB that came with my BB Storm, and haven't experienced a single problem.
And also, note that the Transcend card worked great in my BB Storm, BB Bold 9700, LG Incite and Samsung BJII before this. Nothing wrong with the card, just with the TP2.
16gb is the largest built. 32gb is the largest theoretical that sdhc supports. youll need sdxc for more than that. i wonder if rhodium will support this in the future. old htc devices (and samsung) that could only do regular sd that capped at 4gb could do sdhc with a rom/driver update. sdxc supports up to 2tb which will be interesting to see.
The 32g microsd is long over due. Every so often there will be a press release that the 32 will be release within the next month or so. The projected time frame will come and go. There was a PR stating that 64g was in the works.
if a 32gb microsd card is sold i will buy it. i have an 8gb and could get a 16gb surprisingly cheap but i wont buy a stop gap knowing a 32 might be out soon.
I just got my 16gb no name cheapie from hong kong micro sd card for my tp2 in the mail. I spent numerous hours setting it up with the programs I wanted on it music and such. I had used it for about an hour or so and all the sudden the phone went crazy.. somehow the card corrupted it self im guessing cause the phone no longer recognized it or anything on it.. I removed the card and put it in my card reader to my laptop nothing was on it but a mess of folders all with the name ".." I thought maybe I had done something wrong so I formatted it and tried again. same thing happened the next day. I now reverted back to my 8gb sandisk and havent had any problems with it.. I guess its a get what you pay for kinda deal. Maybe there is something I can do I would think flash memory is flash memory but I guess they have their diffrences. Just wanted to share my .02 on my experience I would like to get another 16gb because bigger is better but ill wait it out and see what is to come next.
Biggest MicroSD Card
Sandisk 64GB SDXC formatted Fat32 works.. recognised as 60871.23MB under Settings > System > Memory and by Total Commander File Manager.
Can someone confirm what size the memory card is in the box?
Sorry in advance for posting a frequently answered question. Just ordered a T mobile one today..
This depends on the provider.
Some people on forum said that they had 4GB in the box, but at least one person said that it was 2 GB, and HTC themselves say that it suppose to be 8GB, so lets take the average and say that it should come with 4GB.
The MicroSD card is a Sandisk Class 2 4GB card when ordered direct from T-Mobile. Or at least that's what I got.
I got mine from CPW and it was a 4GB Microsd card... but it was already inside the phone which did confuse me for a while when i was looking at the box contents.
The distributor can bundle which ever size card they want to, usually which ever they feel will make them the profit they want.
A got a 4GB Class 2 with my T-mobile version of the Desire.
If upgrading I would recommend you go for a Class 6 MicroSD card at least. I used one of these and it made a tremendous difference with my HTC Hero. That phone was routed of course and I had apps. stored to the microSD card. If you look around you can get a 8GB Class 6 for about £12.
EDIT : It failed again, dont use this card to do the upgrade, its not working propperly, 32GB Class 4 SanDisk Micros SD Card SDSDQM-032G-B35
Only class 2 works m8
TopRam 32GB Class4 work also with no problem.
Works for me!

I got that very same one working like a charm on my Trophy.
Have only used 10 Gb so far but no problems in the 2-3 months I got it
im using this one on my focus:
sandisk 32 gb class 4 SDSDQ-032G-Bulk
It's working for me on my Trophy as well.
Sandisk Class 4 32 GB. Did you try a reset after installing the sd card?
It doesn't boot into the phone by default so you will need to use the phones hardware reset instead of the software version. For trophy you hold volume up then power on.

So does this card working or not?
Where did you buy the card ? If you got it from ebay or some questionable dealer to save some money, you could of gotten a fake one. Only buy a MicroSD card from a good known dealer or a good retailer.
MicroSD cards are one of the top faked items for cell phones today.

It must be Class 2 although in the HD7 thread, they said class 4 one works too. It's something to do with random access or something.

NOTE: I haven't tried this myself.
I remember reading somewhere that the higher class cards have better constant read write speeds (good for transferring files), but they lack decent random access speeds. It's a trade off, being as it's used for the OS to run off of. Having higher Random Access is more important.
The Card in the Phone is a SanDisk 8GB Class 4 so Class 4 Do work with this phone.
I got the Card from Amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004LZ2MJM/ref=oss_product
If you change the SD card you are FORCED to use the Phones HARD reset or it will boot and complain the SD card is not working and turn off or Emergancy call are your only options.
I'm running Mango so not sure if others will run more into this issue after a short time once upgraded their phones. I have been back on the 8GB card for 1 week now and not a glitch in sight.
Unfortunatly I dont have access to a Nokia to reformat the card so i cant test its speed in a PC to check why its failing. But I believe the reasons are because of the low speed of the 4k write and read speed. At best I can do is send it to SanDisk and ask for a new one.
But no idea how that will go.
If I boot up on to tri colour screen with the 8GB I see
SD SANDISK 7580MB
If I put the 32GB I see
SD SANDISK something#CLASS0 if I remember correctly.
EDIT: You only see the above #CLASS0 before the SD has a secure Partition, once the Partition is on it it shows as:
SD SANDISK 30436MB
Partition Info-v211v413
So the main problem is It all apears to work nicly and then some time after it compleatly dies rebooting or not even booting and also claiming the SD car is not working. I cant do any thing diffrent other then put it in or not. So I'm unsure why some ppl have or claim to have it working. Duff card?
Maybe time to contact SANDISK
PS: the packaging it arrived in was the full retail SANDISK Red Packet with a access code to its Media manager software online so its 100% original as far as i can tell, aso has the square section on the back that some suggest only originals have, although the OEM 8GB Class 4 from in the phone originall does not have the square raised section so I dont think it matters
Did you compare it to the listed model # in my post above. There's one class 2/4 model that is confirmed to work while there's another class 2/4 model that they say to, "avoid."

so i'm trying to work out why im having issues as others say it works but my personal experiance says it works to start with and fails soon after on Mango.
Thanks any way
I'm on a genuine SDSDQM-032G-B35 too and had no issues (apart from phone sometimes going a little slow) before updating to Mango - now I can't even get through the initial setup of the phone without it rebooting or reporting a storage card problem.
I think Mango is demanding even more of the storage than Nodo, so previously-working cards may become useless after the update.
I guess there's a good reason why Microsoft want NAND memory in the phones rather than SD.

I don't think that will work. Is it SDHC? I have a 32 GB class 10 and I had to do a full format on my PC to get it to work with Android.
Didn't know there are 64gb microSD cards already...Still looking for 32gb with 17mb/sec write...$50 at NewEgg, but it lasts like couple of days before sold out..
The AT&T store told me 64G cards won't work. That's too bad. I'd like to get at least a 32G eventually.
Can one buy any 32G microSD card? I don't need anything fancy, it just needs to work.

I remember 4-5 years ago when 16gb just came out, many phones didn't support them, yet they worked together ok, it's just manufactures didn't test it, that's all...maybe it's same case here, unless it's not SDHC anymore.

Never ask an AT&T store stuff like that. They prob never tested it.

Yes you can, but you might want to check compatibility for 32 GB cards. I know there is an issue with 32 GB class 10 cards. You have to do a full format on them in order for Android to see them.

I am pretty sure the 64 GB micro SD cards are not SDHC. Atleast I haven't see one that was.
64gb micro sd cards are SDXC. They've been proven to work on SGS2, Sensation, Droid Razr, Asus Transformer tab, even on a Nook and SGS1.
64gb cards are supported, just not officially.
As I understand it, there's no difference mechanically between SDHC and SDXC. The main difference is the file system they use, so the OS just needs to be compatible with the new file system and it should work. As the post above notes, android is already proven compatible but until someone tries one in a Nitro it's tough to say that it'll work for sure.
The other difference between SDHC and SDXC is support for speeds higher than class 10, which an SDHC host wouldn't be able to take advantage of.
I've seen a thread on here where someone used a 64gb card in the Nitro with success. It may have been the thread titled "Crappy SD card..."?

LOL! Great title ain't it? Sticks in the head for a while Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417920
unfortunately, no one has yet to try the 64gb SDXC card just yet, most likely due to the astronomical price range. Below is one from amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...WIA2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327458819&sr=8-1
Just posting to confirm that the 64gb SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDXC Class 6 (that I ordered from Amazon here for $55.00) works perfectly in the Nitro! Just pop it into the phone to format it. The phone will initially say it's damaged, let the phone format it, and then you're good to go! (I'd read that for other android phones, trying to format this card on the pc and then using it on the phone doesn't work that well, so I went straight for the phone formatting method). It shows 59.46 GB of space usable. I've filled it all up to test it, and it seems to work just fine! It's only class 6, so I only get about 6 to 8 MB/s write speeds, but I think that's plenty fast for the phone. There is also a class 10 version of this card for 25 bucks more on Amazon, but, for me, it didn't warrant the extra cost. Just letting you guys know in case you're digital hoarders like me! =)
I just got SanDisk Ultra 64GB class 10 micro SDXC .. it worked like charm.
first it says memory card error and need to format... just format and mount it ... it shows 60GB available space ... :laugh:
HIT thanks if that helps !!

For day to day use, you will see no difference on Class 6 or 10 ... if you plan to copy/move large files or music files on a regular basis, then maybe a little ... Will definitely not affect any performance like Camera app, etc.
And I still prefer 32GB Class 10 for now.
64gb C10

there's no such thing as too large of a mem card,
if u have the money then go for the 64gb C10
Does the Note come with a card already installed? I just ordered this morning but have 32Gb SanDisk. I was going to get 64Gb SanDisk and leave 32Gb in my Motorola Photon. If Note comes with card already installed, if lesser I will put that in Photon and sell it

hi,
no,i got my note 2 out of box with no sd card.Had to use my own.
good luck
Class 6 and Class 10 write speed in Note 2 won't be a big difference.
I found Note 2's external memory controller write speed capped at around 10-11MB/s
But for read speed, it will be a BIG difference.
I am using Samsung 64GB UHS-I Pro micro SD.
Having like 55MB+/sec read speed.
with my old Lexar 32GB Class 10 only got 13MB/s read speed.
So, if you concern of read speed, get fastest card you can afford.
if your main concern is write speed, get a class 6 or class 10 would be fine.
And don't get SanDisk ultra. it's known to have problem with Note 2.

I bought mine in Hong Kong for USD 95.
It's expensive yeah but it's the fastest 64GB micro SD you can buy.
It's good for you that you don't have problem with SanDisk Ultra but you can search for Note 2 + SanDisk Ultra.
It has a known problem, after awhile of use or the disk capacity reached certain amount.
Sometimes it will unmount the card or even damage the files in the card.
You can only re format the disk to solve the problem.
MANY people reported this problem. I don't know maybe trigger rate is not 100% but still not recommended.
Darkinners, thanks for your responds and suggestions (which I took and did a search, then some research!)
1. All of these complaints on SanDisk were about the 32Gb Card, not the 64Gb card. All the 64Gb comments were good.
2. The people with issues (both 64Gb and 32Gb) had formatted the card at exFAT, not SDXC. Mathamatically, I can pretty much figure out a.) why it will not write files over 4Gb and b.) why the 64Gb exFAT crashes after it fills over 16Gb! (Think about it, SIII is desinged to read/store 32Gb, not 64Gb even though it will format exFAT. And as for the kid whos computer would not read the 64Gb exFAT, i bet he has 32-bit machine?
3. All complaints were from Europe and blamed on a bad batch of cards (it happens). The one happy individual I saw got his card from Amazon, which is a ligit website. Just because the card says SanDisk, does not mean it actually SanDisk. Cheap forgien vendors use this lable to make them look legit?
4. The card you mentioned and the SanDisk are priced about the same, $59.99USD. I will get SanDisk and format either in phone or my laptop as SDXC and play for awhile. If it piss me off, I will return it!
Again, thanks for your input and suggestions!
