I just got my S3 (United States) and and tried 3 (YES 3) Lexar 32 GB Class 10 cards and every one of them have failed. I called Lexar, they say to have my firmware upgraded. Went to Sprint and verified everything is fine with the phone. The cards won't work in other phones at Sprint Either. Before buying another card I'd like to know from you guys which one out there will work with no problems, speed, and size is important for me. I know I'll be using more memory than the 32gb in the future. I called Sandisk and they recommended their SDSDQUA-032G Ultra 32 Class 10 and said it would work. Sprint says they know the Class 6 works in the S3.
I'd like more than 32gb. and fast write & Read speeds.
Can I get some great recommendations from you before I buy another piece of crap. Two weeks now and I still don't have a working card. Lucky I have Amazon prime membership.

I use a 32gb Sandisk Class 10 SDHC Card, this thing works. Problem with anything bigger then 32gb is that you have to use sdxc and this is only really compatible in fat32 or exfat, for both you have to format the card before inserting into the phone.
Try the SanDisk 32gb Mobile Ultra UHS-1 because it's cheaper than normal class 10 Mobile Ultra and just as fast, and I've been using it a while with no problems.
I am quite happy with my Sandisk Ultra 64GB SDXC. No issues at all.
What do I need to format

Sandisc Ultra 64gb micro sd xc1
Sandisc Ultra 64gb micro sd xc1 was my choice and its worked well over the last 4 years. Its the phone that has bricked after Little use in October 27/2016. Changed the battery it needed it. Now its bricked.
I have a SanDisk but I was told that SanDisk aren't good for Samsung S3's
Hello,
I'd recommend the Toshiba Exceria memory card, either with 16, 32 or 64GB. This card is a class 10 card with UHS 3. Although the S3 can't use the full speed of the micro SD, this is a well working combination.
Has anyone tried 128gb sdcard ?
I plan to buy,
Transcend Premium 400X 128GB CLASS10 SDHC/SDXC UHS-1, and just wondering if it work

I'm using a 128gb card from lexar on it and works fine..
(mine's the i747m just to clear it up...)
I have the SanDisk 64GB ultra sdxc or whatever it's called. It works very well with no issues and I have 1,000+ pictures stored on it with about 30 videos.
Quick question. Would a SD card and adoptable storage on a ROM be a good solution for the Samsung device?
Yes, a SD card is always good, especially for backups

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.
Is it advisable to go for the memory card for S3 ? Would it slow the data access speed ?
I am thinking of to get 32 GB memory card, though i am open for 64 GB too provided its not very expensive.
For 32 GB card i found SanDisk, Samsung's own card on amazon, can someone suggest which memory card is better (for 32 GB) and for (64 GB) for Samsung Galaxy S3 (ATT) .
I would recommend SanDisk, from a reputable seller for either size.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about getting a memory card unless you're running out of storage space. External cards will be slower than internal storage, but with a sufficiently high speed card, you won't really notice the difference in most cases.
I wouldn't really worry about brand unless you've never heard of the company (in which case beware).
I only advised SanDisk because of the 64 gb size. I've heard reports of some people having problems. I personally have a 32GB class 10 SanDisk that has been great. I use it as my storage for most everything on device (even my TiBu folder).
I'll take the opportunity to note that an SD card is great for backup purposes. It made getting my newest phone up and running with all my old data a breeze.
Exactly. Tbh, it's the same card i had in my Inspire, which had no usable internal storage. Plus, put everything on the external and if the phone suddenly craps out you won't lose your photos,etc.

Couldnt decide which to go and whats the difference between these ? Are these even good ones ?
i'm using the 64gb sandisk class 10 with no probs..the only thing i had to do was what other users have reported: reformat to fat32. it's been really fast. it seems to perform a lot better when it's connected in media mode as opposed to the usb mass storage mode in my experience. if u can find one for about 50 bucks, I think it's really worth it.
I grabbed a Samsung Class 10 32 GB card from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005TUQV0E/
From what I can tell it gets the job pretty well. Benchmark speeds are fairly close to the advertised speeds.
Thanks

The difference is the Adapter is microSDHC to SD whereas
the USB reader one is a microSDHC to USB.
I got the USB reader since it's USB and can use in anything. The micro to SD you could use for a macbook or for photo/video in camera.

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.

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!
Hi, Has anyone found a 64GB microSD card that works flawlessly with the G Pad 8.3? I have been reading about issues people are having with the Sandisk 64GB card and I am curious if all 64GB cards have issues or only the Sandisk? Personally I have ordered the Sandisk but it has not yet arrived (neither the LG Pad) but I am wondering if I should return the Sandisk for another brand if there is one that works correctly. Thank you for any advise / feedback you can give regarding 64 GB cards you have used.
For info the one I ordered is:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...qid=1387796520&sr=1-1&keywords=micro+sd+64+gb
That's the card I have had many issues with and tried on two different G pads... I wonder if it's incompatible with 64GB cards somehow, since I have tried lower capacity sandisk cards without issue. SDXC issue maybe and needs to be SDHC perhaps? I haven't seen anything that specifies which format of SD card is compatible... I had issues with the 64GB sandisk card as soon as I inserted it, kept saying it was removed again , then reinserted. It COULD read and write to it but lost sight of it often. In recovery mode worked flawlessly and also on PC....
I have this Samsung card and it works perfectly.....

I'm happy to use SanDisk in my cameras, but for mobile devices I've read of too many problems. Samsung, on the other hand, seems to receive pretty universal praise. No doubt there are exceptions, but I went for Samsung based on rep and superior speed.
I've had no issues running the Sandisk 64GB card in my G Pad. Currently have it formatted with exFAT. I have a ton of stuff on it as well as moved all of my games onto it using Foldermount. Thus would know immediately if the card were to disappear / no longer be recognized. Check the format of the card. If you have it formatted in FAT32 then reformat it to exFAT. I believe exFAT is preferred with larger cards.
Thanks for the info about exfat, this sounds promising. Can anyone with the SanDisk card that is having issues try this and confirm if it fixes their issue. When mine arrives I will try it out but I need to wait another week or so. Thank you

I purchased the SanDisk Ultra 128GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS Memory Card Speed Up To 30MB/s With Adapter off Amazon. I took my Sandisk 64gb micro SD and the 128gb and attached both to a desktop PC, transferred all the files off my 64 to the 128, and placed the 128 in my s3. It seems to be working just fine. The system reports the proper amount of original space and leftover space. It's been 3 days and I'm happy so far. I got mine here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IIJ6W4S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It's currently $119 plus shipping, you may be able to find it for less somewhere else but that's where I bought mine.
