SD cards - Captivate Accessories

Does anyone know that maximum size card we can use on the SD card slot?
EDIT: Fuuuu. Just found the answer. Now if only I knew how to delete posts...

Does the 64gb work then?

Nope. It may have something to do with the fact that it's one of the newer ones, that is, the class 10/ U-1 ones. My captivate told me it was damaged, and my Note didn't even see it, perhaps because both can only take up to 32 GB.

What rom where you using when you tried the 64GB sd card.? I'm on the verge of ordering a 64 to try it out. I'm using CM10 nightlies, maybe this would make a difference in reading the card?

I replied to your thread already. it's a hardware problem, it's not something you'll fix with a software. It simply doesn't have the technology to read 64gb SD cards.

When I bought mine they told me the max SD card was 16 GB, that was from someone at rogers that probably doesn't know what they are talking about though

64g NTFS micro sd card for the Captivate.
I have a Sandisk 64g class 10 manually mounted on the Captivate and have never
had any problems so far. The Paragon NTFS app was installed and auto mount
options were disabled. A new folder was created inside the sdcard0 for easy
access. Manually mount the card and go to advanced mode to specify the empty
folder in which to mount the card. I named mine NTFS-64g, once mounted the
card will be readable and writeable as well. Hope it works for you too.

I figured something might be possible depending on how it's formatted.

Captivate SGH-i897 External SD Card
Captivate is only allowed to accept 16 GB External MicroSD Card
With Internal and External thats total of 32 GB which the phone will allow
I suggest getting:
Sandisk 16GB Class 10 MicroSD for External Card
Captivate comes with 16GB internal storage, along with a microSD slot which supports up to 32GB

I don't see why not, but don't take my word for it.
I think with 32GB there are a few problems, not with the stock rom though (as far as I know).
Well il try it and see. How do I copy ALL data of my sd to put on my new one as it only shows my pictures and such, no app or games. Thanks
Using A 32GB Class 4, works fine.
Have a 2GB EXT4 on it which also works fine.

The way I did it was;
Make a nadroid backup on the old card
Backup old card to PC
Partition the new card
Copy everything to the new card
Then restore nadroid backup
Should look like nothing has changed, apart from having more space
i'm using a 32gb class 10 lexar and it's working a treat for me. sorted it out with gparted ready for my rom.
no problems here.
Right I have no idea what's happening but I have formated the new sd and partioned it. When I copy all my files from my mid SD only some will copy. I mean it shows then all but then if I put it in my phone there not there and when I plug it back into the pc there not there. Very strange. And its important ones like the backups and ROMs. What can be up?

Worked fine with 32GB ADATA class4 on stock pre-rooted Froyo.
I tried on GingerVilain, it's work, but it is slower of Froyo.
Right cheers for all the replys will do some more testing without it partitioned and such to see if it is defo fake.
Right I gave bought a new card which admittedly is a cheap one again although it says on there website that it is tested on h2testw and is fully functional. But I have had the same problems as before so decided to run h2testw on the card and it says the card is likely to be deffective. Is there anything else apart from it being a dodgy card again. I can't belitd sellers can say they are ok when there not.

No Need, I use my stock 16GB and write at 7MB's and read at 22MB's Just use Sd Booster and set cache from 128kb to 1024,2048,3072,or 4096. So I went from like 2MBs to 7Mbs and went from 12 to 20ish

ok so then tell me this when i go from 9.85 avil space b4 sd booster to 9.20 avil space without adding anything to my sd card hmm me thinks sd booster just changed my cache size to store files in for faster loading which in turn uses up some of my storage space hmmmmm how interesting

I would not - sequential read-writes are slower in Lexar and Patriot vs. SanDisk (had first hand experience with all 3 brands). I was using the card to run CM7 on Nook Color from uSD, and the only one that would work was SanDisk.
The Sandisk 64gb Ultra is looking mighty tempting at the current price.

Most newer phones (ours included) will work with SDXC if the card is formatted to FAT32. (example)

I think that you should just format it as a fat32 and the evo will be able to read it.

with that size you might as well partition it for use with dt's a2sd

Its either fat32 or xfat for the evo to read all of it i think fat32 it will read 64gb but only write to 32gb and xfat it will read and write the entire 64gb

64 swap 1024 for ext.3 the rest for fat.being that you have a huge sd you can triple these values I have given you, but they are the standard Evo setup.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Thanks. Ill post the results.
Wasn't the trick formatting it through the phone? :screwy:
Makes my 32 look like nothing, LOL.
I copied everything from my card to my computer. Then I formatted the card through my computer, then created a 2gb partition through the recovery menu. Then updated the partition to ext3. Then I copied everything back to my card. Now I am moving all my apps back to the ext3 partition. Right now I have 33gb left
Still going strong. I've flashed, formatted, installed, and reinstalled Roms, files and apps with no problem.
The only thing is I should have gotten a class 10 instead of the 6. I have about 10 movies, 14gb of music and apps galore.

Format 64gb. Sandisk micro SD to fat32

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.

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

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
