So on T-Mobile site for GS2 specs, it says that it can support upto 32 GB of additional storage. However on the box, it said some what 48 GB. Do they mean 32 GB exteranl + 16 GB internal??
Exactly, 48 is the maximum capacity
16 pin the internal and up to 32 external

More than likely. I have a 32gb and the internal 16gb. There's no such thing as a 48gb card.

technically speaking there is no such thing as MAX MEMORY unless you are talking about RAM which we are are Maxed out at 1GB
there is a MAX internal storage space of 16GB give or take a few GB for the internal ROM Apps
and there is simply no MAX external storage, as you can swap to any amount of external SD card
even the 64 GB works with our phone.... a bit waaaaay too overpriced if you ask me
soon enough when the 128 GB comes out the 64 GB will drop in price
so until then carrying a few extra 32 GB is the best deal at the moment

Thanks AllGamer.So, when they say 'Upto 32 GB' doesn't this mean that we cannot insert external storage of more than 32 GB. Has anyone tried the 64 GB storage and if the phone recognizes it, does it show the 64 GB space. It'll be gud to know if someone has tried and can confirm as you do not want to make a weird face if you buy and it did not work
it works, there's a video floating around.
all you need to do is format it with the phone itself or linux
you don't get full 32 GB on a 32 GB SD card, you get like 29GB, same goes for the 64GB you get around 59GB after the format
Just to clarify, 32GB is absolutely the max amount you can have on this device. any 64gb microsd are actually a new type of card, (SDXC) Previous generations are (SDHC) which has a maximum capacity of 32GB... make no mistake, the 32GB limit is a limit of the SDHC slot on the device, new 64gb cards will not work.
that's turning into an urban legend...
very few devices OLD devices have that limitation
any thing that came out in the past 2 years can read the 64GB microSDXC, you just need to format it
you don't even need to partition it, just throw it into the phone, go to settings internal storage format, done
Ill be damned... You are right, looks like lots of these devices will accept sdxc cards.... Sorry for spouting misinformation.

I just upgraded to a 32 gb memory card and when it prepares the sd card it also deletes some files in some folders that I have. anyone else having a problem with 32 gb cards
Back everything up on your computer and format it.
Sent From My HTC Evo 4G Using Tapa Talk Pro!
what brand card to you have?
Me thinks the OP prolly has a cheap Egay card
it is a sandisk microsd class 4 and I have tried to format it and it still just deletes files for no reason
If its really a class 4 then you might have been duped, as far as i know (as as far as sandisk says) class 2 is the fastest their 32 goes. It could be "deleting" files because the card's been modified to report 32 gigs free space but is actually a card of a smaller size, once you pass the physical limit of the card it still reads as being able to address but there isn't actually that much space on the drive. Try loading only 16 gigs worth of stuff and see if it deletes any files then, and if it still does, go down to 8 and then 4 then 2 and see if it still does the same thing.
A friend bought one off ebay and said that it didn't work either.
I looked at it and after a day of not understanding why it wasn't working, I determined it only really has 2 gigs of real storage space in it.
maybe its fake? download "h2testw" its easy to find on google, and its free. scan the card and you can see the read/write speed and if it has bad sectors and its real capacity
Hi guys.....got my new Note 2 which i love. 16GB internal storage only shows as 10.46GB available to use on phone, is this right ?
I know storage is kept for system etc but nearly 6GB.......seems a lot to me.
Wish downloaded games could be moved to my 64GB removable card as all my internal now full, if 10.46 available out of the box is right its a bit misleading to sell it as 16 GB.
Cheers Paul
On Og note, 2 gb of '16gb' was reserved for apps, 10+gb were for user storage and rest for system/ what nots . Not sure what the amount is on note2 but most likely the same.

Mine has the same storage size as well..
its not quite misleading...
its a standard. pick ANY android in market, if it has 32 gb space, the user available space will be 25 gb. and 10 or 11 gb on a 16 gb device...
its not even an android-only limit. even iPhones have that...
I was wondering if there is a way or is it possible to buy a 16 gb model of the note 2 and manually change the internal memory to a 32/64 gb. This is because they probably wont sell the 32/64gb models here in the Philippines. So I'm planning to buy the 16gb model and have it manually upgraded to the 32/64gb memory. Like taking apart the note and replace the part that contains the 16gb memory and switch it with the 32 or 64 gb. Not sure how it works but maybe its possible? Thanks
Hell no unless you can grab another motherboard from a different model

Just put in a 64 GB external sdcard dude , this is realy a noobish question mate.
This mod in effect makes Android believe that the sd card is the internal memory so you could add 64gb of internal memory

rhis is a dead thread.. anyone know where the updated steps are? i have 2 gbs left.. i have 64 gb micro sd card...
I keep getting not enough memory when I try to transfer a 5GB mkv file to my 16 GB ex SD card.. The card is practically empty so there plenty of file room.
Anyone else have this problem?

What format is the sd card? I don't know about exFat, but fat32 can't handle files larger than 4gb- that was one of the benefits of ntfs in the computer world.
As a side note, the 4gb limitation can seem slightly misleading - if the correct definition of a gigabyte is used, then 4gb is the limit. If the new, wrong definition is used, then 4.3gb is the limit (approximately). A true gigabyte is 1024 megabytes, but a few years back most manufacturers started defining a gigabyte as 1000 megabytes (they also changed the megabyte from 1024 kilobytes to 1000, etc). They claim that the new definition is easier to understand, but in reality all it does is allow them to claim a higher capacity - this is why a brand new 16 gb sd card will only have a little over 14 gb of storage, for example

Hi! Could you fill the available space? Thing is it's always normal to read sd cards even with high capacity but some phones tend to become unstable when the storage space is getting full.
My old 64GB card is full, had it in my GS3 before my Z1 and never had any problems with that. I will report back if I get any problems once I've loaded more onto the card.

I also have SanDisk 128 gb, my old SanDisk ultra 64 gb, an Extreme 64 Gb and a Extreme Pro 16 Gb. All I can say is that there is no one better than 16 Gb Extreme Pro SanDisk Cards. I like to have 128 gb of storage but 16 Gb Extreme Pro is at least 3 times faster than any memory. I have had write speeds of up to 104 Mb/s when transferring files from my Pc on a USB 3.0 port. The bad thing is the price. 16 Gb Extreme pro card is as expensive as(at least) than a 64 Gb card and there is only 8 and 16 Gb available at the moment. When I ordered my 16 Gb Extreme pro I paid about $95 Usd and now I paid $105 for my 128 gb card.

i agree extreme pro better any micro sd cards but 16gb too low for me i checked extreme plus cards but those cards ve really low performance so i ordered 64gb extreme. Well Extreme pro 64gb ll be awesome but as u say 95$ 16gb so possible price 360-385$ so this s too expensive.

I assume that was the main reason Sandisk didn't make 32 gb and up. But now you can buy an Extreme pro for under $40.

However, I would like to see in near future Micro SDH(X)C II in UHS-3 with 250 Mb/s and more. SD cards have up to 400 Mb/s and most of Micro sd are on 30 Mb/s.

The card has been running at around 105GB (14GB free) since my last post to this thread
Around 75GB music, 3GB photos and 22GB movies, the rest is odds and sods
The music and pictures were loaded externally in my pc, the movies were downloaded to the phone
I'm not a gamer so I'm not saving game data to the card.
The point is that my usage doesn't involve writing to the card from the phone very often, just when I use the camera or download email attachments or other web downloads, so I might not see the sort of instability you mention.
Got my Z2 this week so I have swapped the card into that. Again no problems so far.
