which 32gb microsd card would you guys say is the best for this phone? if there is already a thread about it please link me to it but also tell me your personal opinions and what you think is the best. by best, i mean best performing (for games etc.) and one that works fast. thank you.
I suppose your looking for personal preference, or experience since its a fairly hard to define question.
Best card available for the xplay period is obviously the 64GB Sandisk.
Best 32GB card? well there is far more choice, iv'e never have trouble with Sandisk cards, others say Transcend, there are other good brands as well.
Stick to class 4 or class 6 cards for best performance if you can, many have reported performance problems with class 10 and some have with class 2 cards, but I haven't had any problems with class 2 myself.
Avoid cheap micro sd cards on ebay, other than that should cover what you would be looking for.
thank you kindly
can i get a micro sd card (32gb) better than this:

?
thanks
currently i have an 8gb class 6 "high speed" micro sd card. i dont know the brand but it says made in taiwan. it came with the phone.
also, is there any way that i can increase the amount of storage available on my phone without rooting? i have moved a lot of apps to sd card but only have about 40mb space left and only about 70 apps.
thanks
If I copied and pasted the contents from the computer, would I lose anything?

Nope, everything thats on the original sdcard will be copied over

It would be helpful if my previous question could be answered also, don't know how to thank using this app

Yes, it would be the same, except you'll have more memory on your sdcard
I have that sdcard you are looking at. I have had no problems with it at all. So id say thats a good one to get

Thanks, would you say it would fast, do you think it's better than my current one?

I never actually used the original sdcard, i used a 32gb straight away so i cant compare the two
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
thanks. i was wondering since my current sd card is class 6 so i wouldn't want it to be slower.
also, is there any way that i can increase the amount of storage available on my phone without rooting? i have moved a lot of apps to sd card but only have about23mb space left and only about 70 apps.
I have a class 4 Sandisk 32GB and Have had no troubles with it. I have been loving my PS1 and N64 emulators.

No. Root it then remove unwanted bloatware and pop perhaps a ext4 partition on the sdcard

which emulators do you use?
what is the best free one?
and is the sandisk micro sd card quite fast?
For the best emulator, get FPse, it's the best PS emulator.
It's not free, but it's worth it's money.

Burn a copy of your PS game into .iso and put it on your sd card.
You should legally own the games
No idea how to do any of that stuff and I'd probably be a hassle trying to find the games. Thanks though!

How would you go about formatting it on the EVO. Settings>card>erase SD card?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Use RA recovery. You will see partition SD card. You have 3 choices. Swap-set to 0, ext-2-set to 1 gig and fat 32 for the rest. You have a big card so 1 gig ext-2 is good for apps to SD. Just make sure you backup what you want to save first.

is it a genuine Sandisk? there are a LOT of Chinese fakes on eBay, some barely work, while others don't work at all...
use any of the methods described in the other posts to format it, you can use either the phone or your computer.
good luck!
Thanks guys I formatted it thru my settings and then did a partition thru Amon Ra thing seen to be going ok. SO FAR. I hit the thanks buttons tomorrow when I get to a computer.

This is probably the case. A lot of flash-memory based devices on eBay have 128mb of usable memory and the controller continually overwrites it as it writes to anything above the 128mb ceiling. So... your ROMs would be bad, your pictures would disappear, everything would be broken after the first 512mb is full. Keep in mind that the file table would be in the first part of the drive so all of your files would actually appear to be on there.
Here's a good story with an example: http://technogra.ph/2011/05/05/man-...-drive-disguised-as-fake-samsungs-hard-drive/
Your right Jason. I formatted this thing til I was blue in the face and still no dice. Yup I got burned. Teaches me to not buy from the damn Chinese anymore.

How can you check what class your SD card is as i don't know nothing on the card just sandisk 8gb micro sh or SC can't remember thanks
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
Check your card physically. The class is written as the number and is surrounded by a circle.
Generally (Not necessary though), if it is not stated, its Class 2.
Another way is by using benchmarks like JBenchmark.
Thanks 3xeno.I think I need glasses had to get 1of the kids to have s look it's a class 4 lol

mine looks like its either a backwards 4, or an A in a circle. hmm....
Im looking to try this with mine shortly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8PyqCOpERA
Just not sure how it works as far as progress on games... would you have to recopy the folder everytime you made progress? or would that program automatically do that? Hmm...
First and for most I am not responsible for anything that might happen to your phone, computer, or sd card. I am simply posting to help anyone ot there who might have an error with there new cards.
So along with alot of others who jumped on the 64gb micro sd sales I purchased from best buy. When I tried to get my phone to register the card which was originally extfat by default it wasnt recognized. So then I tried formating to ntsc to yet again fail. I finally tried to convert to fat32. What follows is a guide to get uou 64gb sd card to fat32.
First make sure you backup any info you might have on you 64gb. Card because formatting will erase EVERYTHING.
Second, connect your micro sd to a computer. I personally used the micro sd to full sd adapter that came with my card.
Third go to the following website
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
And download the gui app by clicking the picture.
Fourth run it. Make sure you select the right location to were your sdcard is.
Fifth click the allocation to your preference (im not sure what this is suppose to do but I set it to max roughly about 64-65) then make sure you select the right destination if not you can format your hdd on the computer. Then press the quick format and start button.
Sixth the script should take less then a min. To be done and have a formatted fat32 64gb microsd card..

How common is this issue? I've got a 64GB Sandisk with exformat in my T889 with no apparent problems (so far).
Im not to sure how common it is but I ran into trouble. I tried the default for the card then ntsc and it wasnt registering with my phone althought I must say I was running perseus kerenel with the memory swap script. Then after I formatted to fat32 it work. Not sure were I read on some other people running in to trouble with the same sandisk card until they formatted.

Yup hopefully they hold up. I had a 32gd. Sandisk sd with fat32 and this 64 gb card doubles that so now I have about 74 gbs. Of usable memory. I play alot of gameloft games those things are memory whores

I bought Sandisk 64gb card from best buy..my phone reads the exfat card fine..but when I use mtp transfer my computer recognizes the card as generic hierarchical and limits my file size..is there a way to Mount the actually card as exfat without removing it from my phone?

It'll format it but it says 27GB not 59GB so it's only seeing half of it.
Hmm. I dont even know there's an issue like this. I bought my card online 64GB Sandisk Class 10 during the Thanksgiving sales and its like plug and play since then. No problem at all.
I've gone through 2 64GB sd cards. They work for a while and then something odd happens. I write to the card but the file is gone if my phone reboots. Permissions issue maybe?

I was told that the ROM I have doesn't read a 64 gig card..the last time I tried to download a torrent I was told I didn't have enough storage space..I have 36 gig left on it..I downloaded the music, and I saw it was all there..right after I did a restart the music was gone...Do I need to reformat the card to exfat or fat 32? It is a Sandisk, I never formatted the card..I was told we don't have to format a Sandisk card, they come that way...I have a Note 2 from T-Mobile...

I just had the same thing happen to me..I downloaded a bunch of albums..they were there..then I rebooted and they were gone...but when uTorrent was downloading it told me I didn't have enough space..I told it to go ahead anyway...they made it but then disappeared..
I have had my 64gb. San disk for about a year and a half without any issues. I formatted the way I outlined in the first post and it has been smooth sailing ever since. I know that the first post could be a bit tedious but it is the RIGHT way. No short cuts. I did have an issue with some kerrnels. For example saber kernel from Jedi Roms says that it can swap your memory partition from external to internal and it does for about a week and then for some odd reason it just locks your SD so you can't download or delete any thing. The combination I have been using is an old school pegasus kernel with a memory swap script. I have been using that for a long time and not only is it the most stable memory swap, but the kernel has never messed up my SD either. P.S. just my 2 cents

That's all. It's [email protected]#king insane. And no apps2sd without rooting. More insane. Google and Samsung must realise that such a stupid decision will scare developers away. There must be more that 30 games on the Play Store that require 1gig now. Not only that either. Spotify do not allow you to save off line playlists to the sd card!
I filled my internal memory in 10 days!!
Look on the bright side. The Windows Surface 64gig only lets you use about 24! (don't quote me on that figure).

Theres a mod out there that lets u swap ur internal memory space with a external sdcard. Getting a 64 gig card would give u a boost. I believe they did this so consumers would buy the larger memory phones, just like crapple does. Bad for us consumers, good for the business

Format sd card in FAT32. Maybe it's in NTFS now, or even unformated. You can do it from recovery, from windows (when mounted) or from phone itself
