When I get my Note2 I am immediately going to buy SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC Mobile Ultra.
But the salesman told me that 64GB don't work very well with smartphones. I did quick search and saw some SIII user having issues with their 64GB card (Showing files on computer).
Is it true? I highly doubt the salesman knowledge of smartphones but I don't want to waste money on expensive card.
It must work with note2 as it perfectly works with s2...

Everything is a guess at this point. Just make sure you buy a retail SanDisk card, not a knockoff...hard to tell these days. And that it's formatted in a specified file format.
I've been using a 64GB on the Galaxy S and SII Skyrocket without problems for some time now. It's just a little slow.

Check out my huge collection of 64GB Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Videos (Demos, Accessory Reviews)
No dice on two separate 64GB SDXC cards in my GSIII, both real deals from Amazon, a solution I read was to format it with a PC to FAT32 but my intention was HD content (i.e. 4GB+) so that was a no go. Now I have two 32GB SDHC cards which work perfectly. YMMV
It is quiet simple. That may be work or not...... I also saw few cases where 64 gb card not work perfectly.
Specs for the Note 2 on Samsung site say it will officially support 64gb sd card where I think most other phones only support 32gb but can still work with 64gb, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also 128gb would be a really nice match to that quad core and 2gb ram.
Samsung claims the S3 supports 64GB cards formatted as exFAT, but it, in fact, does not. Unless they corrected the issue with the Note 2, you have to format your 64GB card as FAT32. It will still work, but you lose some significant advantages by doing so. As far as I know, Samsung has not acknowledged the issue.
I am using a 64gb SanDisk micro SDXC in my Galaxy Note I as a type. I did have to use a special program to format it into Fat32 though, because my windows 7 PC didn't allow me to format it as Fat32. The name of the program eludes me at the moment, but I will post it again once I remember.
Why woold you ever listen to a sales rep?

This tool is helpful because the quick format is disabled in Windows for anything over 32GB (GUI shows nothing and command prompt only allows complete format, which is really slow).
This tool will save you time, as it allows for quick formatting of 32GB+ MicroSD cards in Windows.

64 gb card works great.
Good lord, so much poor information in this thread.
Firstly, the S3 DOES work with exFAT formatted 64GB micro SDXC cards, Samsung explicitly added support for exFAT with specific drivers for it (check Supercurios Voodoo Report breakdown for further confirmation). That's why Samsung said that it works with cards up to 64GB in their official announcement, where they have not said that before (even though all their phones work with the 64GB cards when formatted to Fat32).
I have used one in my International S3 for a couple of months since release, and now in my AT&T S3 for something like a month without any issues whatsoever. There are some people who had issues, but it's not clear what the cause is as far as I'm aware.
Even if exFAT support is not offered the Note 2 will work with Fat32-formatted 64GB cards. I have no doubt whatsoever about that - they have worked in every device I've ever tried them in when formatted to Fat32. That's more than a dozen devices now including Symbian handsets, and Android devices running on Froyo and every version of the OS since then: http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html. They have been confirmed working in various feature phones even.
If anyone is still in doubt I will post confirmation with my Note II when it comes early October (or earlier if Samsung have their release event here in NZ before then).
Size doesn't matters
In fact size doesn't matters (that's what she said... wait, no... )
I have a 128 GB SDcard perfectly working on my note 1 with an microSD<>SDcard adapter, because FAT32 formatted (I never tried exFAT filesystem, I don't know how classical linux OS handle it)
So I'd say as long as you stick with the old Fat32, it will be alright !
(the system seems to be quite ok with it, except that it takes a while when rebuilding the database for music... Because of the 95+ GB of it.
I know that there is a size limitation in windows when formating in FAT32 system, but this limitation doesn't exist in linux, and I have used Hardrives of 1 TB fat32 formatted under linux and windows without any problems, except this 4GB file size limitation...
Boujou bien!:laugh:
Couple of questions for 64gb card users:
1. How much time does it it take to fill up the card with music files?
2. How much time does it take for the Note 2 to scan the database?
Thanks in advance

In relation to your second question:
Media scanning (after the initial one) doesn't take too long - much better to use something like PowerAMP that has its own separate library though. For one thing PowerAMP can read tags properly, and secondly you can exclude your music folder from the stock app so the system doesn't index it.

Thanks again man!.
Actually i was settling for Player Pro since it's my idea to keep on using my iTunes generated smart playlists which are based on the last played criteria and rating. Hence Player Pro / iSynchr looked well suited for that task.
Do some research on Power Amp but it's my intention to stay away from any digital sound processing which seems to be Power Amp strongest suit. I'd want it keep the signal path as simple as headphone out + UM3x.
I bought that exact card, hopefully I will get it later today. EXCITED.

Fair point, I'm almost always listening through a DAC so sound processing doesn't bother me, I like a lot of the other features from PowerAMP. Sounds like you're all set though!
I'm looking to buy a Sandisk Ultra either 32gb or 64gb (was looking for 64 but now I'm having second thoughts).
Since 64gb exFAT seems a no-go and FAT32 is very inefficient for such a "large" drive... can I format a 32gb microSD in exFAT and so take advantage of that file system in my Note2? Thans in advance for the answer, I'm buying on Monday and need to make a choice =)
i got just that 64gb card and it works flawless.

I just received my brand new SanDisk microSD XC 64Gb.
Took some time to copy all data from my previous 32Gb microSD.
I ejected the 32Gb and replaced it by the 64Gb ... Glide wasn't able to detect the card ... at all !
On windows, file system info is : extFAT (not FAT32).
I read somewhere that most of the latest phones are compatible with this new 64Gb card.
Does this mean that current Glide ROM doesn't have the extFAT drivers embeded ?
I'll try later this 64Gb memory card on a HTC doubleshot (MT4GS).
So, more to come !
Edit : it works .... microSD 64GB needs to be formated with the device (Glide) !
You probably already know this but, the manual states that it supports up to 32GB Micro SDHC only.

Yes, I do know this.
But it has been reported that latest HTC and Samsung devices (Galaxy S II) can read/write this type of microSD card, even if user manual states that device supports only 32GB SDHC.
So I was wondering... why not our device...
I remember seeing that if you format the card on the phone first it should work and recognize all 60ish GBs. This was on a SGS2 though.

Do you actually get the 30MB/Sec transfer speed the Micro XD card supports on the Glide? Just wondering as it normally does not support that card so are you reaping the full benefits in size and speed?

Size: My previous 32GB was full. I copied all that stuff on the new 64GB and added a few more (large) files. So it does the trick, for now.
Speed : I used SD Tools and it gave these results:
Writing speed : 7.1 MB/s
Reading speed: 18.9 MB/s (with a peak at more than 23MB/s)
This is no 30MB/s but it works great.
Thank you for confirming this, I'm liking this phone even more now!
So it's not slower than a officially supported MicroSD card? have you noticed any read/write lags, delays or any other issues?
No, no lags at all (for now).
I can listen to music (stored quite a lot on it), watch movies with a decent bitrate.
It is not the fastest card I've ever seen, but it does its job and brings large storage capacity !
* Up to 30 MB/sec read speed. Write speed lower. Based on SanDisk internal testing; performance may be lower depending on host device. 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes.

My 8GB Sandisk only managed 3.9MB/s Write and 8.3 MB/s read using sd tools so I think these results are great and definitely show a bright future for this phone.
I ordered it from Amazon, it's own its way!

Bought a 64gb Sandisk Sdxc from the online shop you have linked: it never worked, with any mobile up to a Galaxy S3, not just my Captivate Glide, nor my friends smartphones.
Also, using the sdxc with the provided adaptor didn't work either, with many different computers. The SDXC is never recognized by anything.
Every time I have inserted the card on a device, it started overheating.
I have asked mobymemory to either replace the item or refund my money, they never replied.
To me these makes them a bit shady as sellers, not likely to be legit, if not total scammers.
Actually this 64.GB works really great.
Got it working in the captivated glide, and now it works as well in my S3 !
Fyi: I also used it with a S2 (no format required after initial format with the Glide).
No overheating in any of these devices.
The only thing you have yo keep in mind is format the sdxc with the Glide (at least once). Then phone will be able to use it. Using the adapter will allow you to use it with Windows platforms...
Don't try to format it with windows... Glide won't recognize it at all.
About mobymemory, I bought from these guys a few memory cards (micro .sd, CF, ...) : never had any issues with these. Right now I think they are quite reliable.
Hope it helps !

The stuff you wrote is obvious. I am speaking about the fact that it's impossible to format; that the adaptor doesn't work, and that the SDXC overheats, doesn't matter where I put it. Their service is completely unresponsive.
Good for you that it worked (for you), but given I bought from them after solely reading your post, I am not accusing you but I want to warn others, so they can compare two very different experiences with the same online store (they look to be an ebay also) and product, and make their decision.
Anyone uses these type of memory cards on ICS? Any experiences?

Guys, be warned that SGS3 DOES NOT support UHS-1 (i.e. class 10) cards.
There's a thread some on here where the exact card is supported.

does not support, but it works fine if you format the card in the phone. exFAT does not work, however, so you are limited to files < 4gb in size. Kind of defeats the purpose of having such a large microsd card though
UHS1 is simply a speed classification typically used by high power cameras. C10 refers to the minimum write speed of 10mb/s.
This card will work in exfat format for stock GS3, however cwm or twrp recovery only supports fat32 which this card will format to.
I have used this card before so don't be reluctant to to purchase it.
I have been using this exact card since the date I got my GS3 (mid June). It works well with everything and never crashed. It also works with backup and restore within CWM. YMMV though. It is exFAT formatted.
Phone will format it as fat32 and all will be fine. Tested and works well.

What are you guys talking about? Have anyone actually tried this out?
I have this exact same card UHS-1 Class 10 (not the old Class 6 one) in exFat format and everything works fine in CWM and in Android.
EDIT: BTW, I formatted the card with SDFormatter on my PC, not on the phone.
S3 doesn't support UHS-1 speed but it does support exFAT format. The card itself came as exFAT, S3 won't even ask you to reformat it as FAT32. Just pop it in and everything works 100%.
Sweet, just nabbed one. I check the price every day also and was just about to post it here...beaten to the punch as usual .

Is there a good way to utilize an "external" sd card to store apps and nandroids? It seems like the GS3 (and maybe just ICS/JB in general) is setup to use the "internal" sd for everything.

Hey Jerry,
You only get notified if you subscribe to the thread (in response to your PM). Anyway, as I said, the formatting the Note uses for MicroSD is FAT32. You don't need to turn it off to insert the SD, but when you eject it, you would want to go into setting, storage, and unmount SD card.
You don't need partitions, but because it's FAT32, you are limited to 2GB or smaller files.
Anyway, that should answer the SD questions.
As for the keyboard, I have the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android. Works very well, comes with a tablet stand sorta built in the case, and it's full sized, so typing on it rocks. Costs $70-80 though.

According to another poster here 'From what I understand, you cannot install and run Apps from your SD card...' I know some apps may not be willing to load from an extrernal card for some vendor reason, but that is the exception, is'nt it? For the most part, we can load, install and use apps with the 64gb card we ordered right? I know I have held off loading apps because I want them on the ext sd.

You don't need partitions, but because it's FAT32, you are limited to 2GB or smaller files.
Anyway, that should answer the SD questions.
Got it today. worked without doing anything. 59.4g. How can I confirm the format is FAT32 or exFAT? I have read that it can be either?

So as a new android user (switching from apple) i realize how much i've been missing out on the beauty of Android devices. So that being said i am so happy to be here and posting about this new friggin device!
SO heres the problem that i realize: Most micro SD card does not work with this new device!! I've tried installing it in the note 10.1 and realize that in the end it cant read. However, if i put it in my s4, it does read and store data. So i emailed samsung personally and they basically said, "as of right now, there arent any micro sd card that is compatible with the note 10.1 2014. Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone used a micro sd card with their device yet? If so what brand? I have a kingston.
I am using 32gb Kingston with no issues. If it is recognized by your phone, try formatting it inside the phone then put it in the tablet. Most likely the card is not formatted properly.

Yeah it's most likely this.
I'm using a 64GB SanDisk Class 10 card formatted to exfat.
Plenty of help on the web if you are unsure of what your doing.
Good luck!
i tried a brand new PNY 64GB formatted to exFAT. it worked fine until it die- two friggin days!
now i'm using my back up 64GB sandisk. it's working fine so far, exFat too. had one incident that made me think that this may be a dud too, or that the 2014 may be killing my disks. i'll have to keep an eye out.
There are way too many reports of this for there not to be a problem! I myself had a card that worked great in my old Note 10.1 and my cell phone but had to be formatted for the 2014 edition. Why? No reason other than something just ain't right somewhere!

That's what I'm using too, though Kingston makes good memory, and I've had good luck with other companies as well, like Patriot and Trend Micro.

Have not seen way too many reports of this problem with this particular device. The problems lie in the the memory cards not the device. Flash memory is notorious for just flat out dying or not working in certain devices. Sandisk or Samsung are the top choices for broad compatibility, hence the fact that their prices are usually higher. Probably due to more R&D and testing. I just swapped my 64gb Sandisk for the Kingston 32gb with no issues. I had the 64gb in an Acer W3-810 Windows Tablet.

My bad. There is only this thread and another thread on the next page. It is kinda suspicious that my 64GB card as well as others here works fine in my other tablet and phone but just won't work in my new 2014. Call it what you want but to me that's a lack of plug and play!
For everyone without any issues of course we are just making a mountain out of a molehill but for us FEW sitting here with a 64gb micro card that won't work consistently this is a fail!
So yes I surrendered and picked up a 32gb card and it works flawlessly.
i have a 16GB patriot Class 4 that i pulled out of my Nook Color (and formatted on my computer) i have had no issues using this.
one thing i did notice, is that the sd slot in the galaxy note 10.1 is pretty deep, i cant get the card in without assistance, usually from a pen or key that happens to be nearby.

Do not make this in to something personal. Please read what I typed. I was not trying to deny there is a problem but let people know where the problem comes from. One android device works with a card but it will not work with another. It is more than likely the card. You made it sound like it is Samsung's fault. They cannot test every card with every device ever made. People should be asking for help from their card manufacturer. My original 64gb died right out of the box and Sandisk replaced it.
I'm sorry if this came across as personal. I apologize for that. We just disagree and that's fine. You think it is the card even though it works great in 3 other devices, my laptop with the insert, my phone, and my old Note 10.1 and I think it's the 2014 edition because it doesn't work in it. To me if it was the card it would give me some sort of trouble in the other devices.
But to each his/her own.
Maybe its how the card is formatted?

I may be mistaken but I believe I have mentioned that I formatted the card while using the Note 2014. I also formatted it on my PC. It's no biggie anymore since I have a 32 gb installed that works great. I'm just going to wait till another update and try it again. I believe it's going to work at some point.

32gb class 10 Samsung micro sd card works perfectly in my Note 10.1 2014, TAB3 8.0, GS4 & GS3
I'm having intermittent failures with my card also. I took my 32 gb Lexar out of my Transformer Prime and it wasn't recognized by the Note. I formatted it, it was fine for a few days, now it's telling me that the card is blank and/or unreadable. I formatted it again using the SD Formatter. I'm adding music to the card now and I'll be keeping an eye on it. I'll buy a Sandisk if this continues. I'm not at a risk of losing data, so I can experiment a little.
Don't cheap out on crappy low end cards, and you *should be fine. I have a combination of 6 Samsung phones & tablets all using one of the two cards listed below. Have never had a single issue, and a few of the devices have been using the same card for well over a year.
SanDisk SDSDQUA-064G-U46A Ultra 64 GB microSDXC (UHS-1) Class 10
Samsung Electronics 32GB microSDHC Extreme Speed (UHS-1) Class 10
The 64GB Sandisk Ultra is currently formatted ExFAT, and has been working just fine for almost 2 weeks now in my Note 10.1 (2014 ed).
* There is always a chance with failure, as with any electronic component, but good storage cards are worth their price.

Kingston, Transcend, Lexar, AData, G.Skill and Patriot are all good brands as well.
Same issue as above posters, I have a SanDisk ultra 64gb. After mucking around trying to get the same card that worked perfectly in my original. 10.1.
Solution : I backed the card contents up on my pc and then formatted the card in the original 10.1 before checking that I could write a new directory on the card using the 2014 edition.
Seems to work so far, hope this helps you guys (who still have the original 10.1 as well).
I have a 64GB Patriot class 10, No issues. Thought I would chime in.

Anyone try the Samsung 64GB micro SDXC? I can only guess all Samsung Micro SD's will work fine.
Hi guys,
Fairly new to the tab s got one just over a wek ago, since have been having issues with anys sd card i put in it.
Firstly i used a scan disk 32gb class 10
, it worked ok but would randomly dissapear, and seemed to have issues withplaying 2k videos, eg being choppy
So i thought i would upgraxe to a 64gb samsung evo class 10 card, been having nothging but issues since .
first i put loads on it then my tablet wouldnt read it at all. I then formatted it to ex fat via windows , same issue .
i then formatted in the tabelt it self. Now it works for about 5 mins then it will show as nothing in there
in storage settings says it mounted and show the correct memory but when trying to use it via various apps
as empty .
Both cards work fine jn windows, and have been brought from officisl websites hence arent fake
Anyone have any idea
Im trying to hold off routing so i can use banking apps , but if that lets me axtually use it !
You could try a factory reset on the tablet to see if that helps. If it doesn't work, then you'll need to exchange the tablet and do a factory reset anyways, so it won't hurt to try that first. I'm using the same samsung card you mention and it's working fine.

I just left it how it came, exFAT.
Android doesn't support exfat- it's a Microsoft format for the most part. Format it as fat32 and it will work. These large size microSDXC cards are coming formatted exfat (which was designed for flash devices in mind) but isn't really supported well.
Use fat32
I just got a 64GB flash drive and played with formats to see if I could use exfat or f2fs but nope. Fat32

I don't think that's entirely true. Some android devices don't support exFAT, but from my experience most do these days. I'm currently using an exFAT card on my Tab S.
ok so i tried exfat and fat32 and both did similar things.
I then tried the same cards inside my microusb to micro sd adapter and they worked fine!
So i took it back to John Lewis, spoke to their technical support who didnt know a fat lot, they kept telling me this tablet
doesnt support that type of media, i then showed them it did by using the microusb adapter, we then tried it in the display unit and worked fine, they werent understanding that sometimes it works in my device and
others it wont.
They kept advising me not to just swop it as the samsung tab s wouldnt do what i wanted it to do (i knew it would) they eventually agreed to give me a full refund, so i did and just swopped it for a nexus 9 as i was torn up between getting the
2 when i brought the tab s.
Short story - i swopped my tab s for nexus 9, happy with it so far compared to the tab s.
Also means i have some tab s cases going space if anyone fancies buying them off me for dirt cheap, got the official case, and cheapo one and some extremeguard protectors etc... drop me a message if your interested. (in the uk )
Thanks for all the help guys
I'm having the same problem with my SM-T807T. Using an 64GB SanDisk formatted FAT32. I had it my nook before and it was fine (works on windows as well as my phone) but randomly stops working in the Tab S.

Sounds like the tab s struggles with certain types of sd cards mabye?
do you have a micro usb to micro sd adapter to test it on like i did? worked fine for me that way.
But i went to nexus 9 and so far im happy with it

Funny enough i had the same sd card in my phone (same brand/model/capacity) and that one works fine in the tab. My phone (galaxy note 2) reads both so i swapped them. Card was Team 64GB sdxc
The nexus is a no go for me, no sd card slot is a deal breacker. Plus the tab s screen is also unbeatable. I do a lot of reading and high res graphics so it's ideal for me.
Android, and this tablet support Exfat no problem.
And you'll want exfat if you want to put HD mkv files on your card larger then 4gb (fat32 limit).
When the tablet formats a new sdcard it does so in exfat.
Sorry to hear you went Nexus 9....
After reading this thread I'm starting to think maybe the S series has some micro SD hardware issues...
Mine is a totally different problem and so far i guess it hasn't affected me much i guess...
I have a SanDisk extreme 32 in mine that i used in my Note 3 and Phantom Vision Plus camera... it has worked flawlessly in those other devices... now, while installed in my Galaxy S 10.5 .... when i wake the screen i see a popup sometimes that says something about "SD card detected" ... as if i just inserted one ... but the damn thing has been in there for two weeks!?!?
So far none of the other problems listed here tho... plays all my 2K video files just fine... reads and writes with no problems... really fast as a matter of fact... i don't get it

For sure the Tab S is very picky about which SD cards it uses. When I upgrade from 64 to 128GB I'll definitely be going with a Samsung EVO/Pro or one of the new SanDisk branded cards just to be safe.

Quite right - not at all true. Android absolutely supports exFAT - that's the only format you can use over 32 GB - without using some sort of format utility...and even if that works, you can't store files over 4 GB in size (like my ripped Bluray videos). Android also supports NTFS, but SAMSUNG doesn't appear to.

So why does a 16GB Transcend card pre-formatted as FAT32 work, but a 64GB Samsung EVO ***EDIT _- IT NOW LOOKS AS IF THIS CARD IS A FAKE. The App SD Insight shows it as INVALID. The seller did not quible ; just refunded me! *** that comes pre-formatted as exFAT not work? I have had no end of little troubles, which at the bottom of it all seem to come down to this brand new SD card. The card works fine in my PC, and in a camera. I've no other Android with an SD card, having come from Nexus when the 9 was physically too big.
If I don't unmount the card before rebooting the tablet, it has decided that the card is damaged and will not do anything. When I asked it to format the card, all it did was wipe the file table - it only took a few seconds so it cannot have done anything else.
It comes to something when a Samsung tablet will not play ball with a Samsung micro SD card.

I don't really have an answer for you. I have been using a new 128 GB Sandisk card since day one (I assume it is exFAT, as I just put it in out of the box. I did no formatting or mounting) and I have had no problems whatsoever. Worked perfectly when I first booted and has worked like a champion ever since. I'm not seeing any of these problems.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. How frustrating this is... Since posting I have looked farther afield. There are all sorts of threads across various forums on the internet about SD cards suddenly not working in Samsung devices.
I had similar problems with My SanDisk Ultra 32 Gig card. I took it from my LG GPad 8.3 and deleted everything off it on my PC except my music folder, when I put the card in my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 it showed the card but I could not access my data, after a few reboots it worked for a while but was buggy and would stop working. What did work for me was copying off all my data and letting the tablet format the card, I then copied my data back to the card while it was in the tablet over USB. I have not had any issues since and it has been several weeks.
One of the main reasons for replacing LG G Pad 8.3 with Tab S were SD card unmount issues. Here it goes again. I tried two 64 GB SanDisk cards, formated FAT32 or exFAT, even zeroed out one card... The cards still stop working after heavy load from media scanner or reading large video file. The cards work fine in pc, other devices (S5, iBasso...) and even when connected to Tab S using external card reader and USB host cable.
My other cards (32 and 128 GB) exFat and FAT32 formatted SanDisk work fine in Tab S. So I'm trying to solve the issue by ordering 128 GB Samsung EVO card and hoping for the best...
EDIT: The 128 GB Samsung EVO card indeed fixed my issues - even watching large video file is fine.

I don't think it does format the card. WHen I did that in my tablet, it took a very few seconds - long enough to do a quick format i.e. clear the data area that tells you where files are, but nowhere near long enough to actually format the card. Therefore all it does is leave the card as teh same format it was beofre the command.
