Memory for digital cameras is usually SD, while phones use MicroSD.

I wouldn't waste money on it unless I knew for sure. G2/DZ support up to 32gb. Maybe, maybe not. Please do tell if it works

Bumping this back up - has anyone tried 64gb MicroSD yet?

If you don't mind me asking, dafuq r u gonna do with 64 gb of storage?
I have 8gb and I don't even use it all lol.

Mostly music tbh, but also pictures, videos, apps, a couple of full backups. You tend to fill up the space when you have it. I have had to delete files to keep under the 32gb I have at present, so I would use 64gb if available.
I might buy one anyway to use in my next phone if not this one...

Anyone tried a 64GB microsd?

I read that it works but there are performance issues. Interested in the 2 cents of someone who has tried it vs a 32gb microsd. I personally wouldn't mind just having multiple 32gb sticks and switching them out if there is a performance loss with the 64gb.

Has been tried by others and works fine.
Look in here for a benchmark and other info

Let's get back on subject
I use the Sandisk 64gb and have no issues with music or movies. For pictures, there's a pause, but I can't say if it's slower than a 32gb class 10 card

[Q] MicroSD compatibility

Does anybody know if this 64GB card will work in the E4GT? By work I mean read and recognize the full capacity of the card?

[Q] Anyway to get a 64 GB microSD Card with a 16 GB S3?

T-Mobile says that it's only expandable to 64 GB with a microSD Card but of course everything always has it's tricks. So is there anyway to use a 64 GB microSD Card on a 16 GB Galaxy S3?

It's only expandable up to 64 GB. If I use a 64 GB microSD Card on a 16 GB phone then that would go up to 80 GB of storage. The guy at T-Mobile even told me that I could only use a 32 GB microSD card. Basically if there was a 48 GB microSD card then I could use it because it wouldn't go pass 64 GB. This is all pretty much info from the guy at T-Mobile.

I think he means that u can't use any SD card bigger than 64gb. It shouldnt interfere with internal storage.
You can use any sd card upto 64gb regardless of internal storage.

Could've sworn that he said I could only get up to 48 GB and wouldn't be able to get a 64 GB microSD Card. So I can get up to 80 GB of storage pretty much, right?

Yes. So you can use either a 32 or a 64. There is no such thing as a 48 lol. But yes no bigger than 64 gigs.

Having a 64gb card is awesome but to get the most out of it I would recommend using the apps 2 SD scripting and of course a really fast micro SD.

I plan on getting a SanDisk ultra microSD Card. Is that good enough?

I dont much care for sandisk, but last I checked they were the only brand that offered a 64gb micro sdxc.
That may have changed by now though.

Try testing with SD tools. My 64gb runs on UHS-1.

dude, i had to read this like twice to get what you are trying to say.... and i'm still confused.
let's make this simple. people at t mobile don't know ***t about anything technical 95% of the time. so just, that whole conversation you had with that clown, crumble it up, burn it with fire and hatred.
your device will support an EXTRA 64 GB of storage (via a micro SD card)..... the problem, however, is 64 GB micro SD cards do not come in FAT32 format, which is what you need it formatted to for the device to recognize it as external storage. basically what will happen is you will plug the card into the device, turn it on, and your device will say it is not recognized or something along those lines.
Just to be clear, because i know this all sounds complicated, and it is.... the problem is the formatting structure of the two disks.... you MUST have FAT32 as your external because that is what the device is programmed to recognize. 64 GB cards come in a different file system called exFAT (which is what your internal storage is formatted to)... issues. obviously.
furthermore, the problem with re-formatting the 64 GB card (because this can be done as well to get around that issue) is that because of the file system structure of FAT32, it does not run optimally when the disk size is larger than 32 GB... i have partitioned disks larger than 100 GB to FAT32, but performance suffers.
basically, just get a 32 GB class 10 card and call it a day. unless your ROM/kernel supports exFAT in the external storage, you will not be using anything larger than 32 GB.
hope that made sense. it's late. read up on file systems and block sizes on FAT32 and exFAT disks and you'll understand entirely what I am talking about.

How much is a good 64 Gig micro sd card

What name brand do you guys recommend. and who carries them at a decent price. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

I got a 64GB SanDisk that I formatted to FAT32 and it works perfect. If there's a MicroCenter near you then you could get a good deal on a micro sd. The SanDisk I bought was 55 at MicroCenter and 100 at BestBuy.

This one works for me:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDXC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQUA-064G-U46A/dp/B007WTAJTO

most people around here recommend the Samsung... because SanDisk had a bad batch of microSD cards... and even they accepted it... that said I have a SanDisk 64gb and it's working flawlessly so far...

I followed this method when I bought my sandisk ultra 64gb card. Somehow when I format with my PC it only recognizes it at 32gb. Tried with windows xp and windows 7 same result. Using the software below worked perfect.

Bought my sandisk sdcard from amazon also and have not had any issue with it. $50 would be good price for one but its probably more which brand you should get that you should ask.

Thanks guys.

Thankfully you're very wrong. I'm waiting for 128 GB MicroSDXC before I get a card though. GS4 supports exFAT, so any size MicroSDXC should work.

What ^^ he said.
$50-$60 (sub-40 quid if you're british) for a class 10 or UHS-1 64GB uSDXC card is a reasonable price. I still like SanDisk, they did have a bad batch before Christmas (and I unluckily got one) but they replaced very quickly with no fuss so they get my vote. I used amazon for my last one.
64 gig is fine for tonnes of music and photos, only time I'd want more is if I was taking my entire DVD collection everywhere with me.

I would recommend newegg or adorama.

Amazon's "Warehouse Deals" section usually has open-box/repack Sandisk and Samsung UHS-1 cards for a little over $40 and $50, respectively.

Yeah, I've seen the 128 GB full-size SDXC cards for quite a while now, but no 128 GB micro SDXC. Main reason I need all that space is my full music collection is around 75 GB, and I'd love to finally dump the old iPod classic and just have the whole collection on the phone. :good:
