[Q] 64GB microSD card

I was looking into upgrading my microSD card, and so I started looking around on the web. I came across the SanDisk 64GB microSD card. Is that even compatible with the HTC Evo? I have only heard rumors that they would work in some smart phones. Do any of yall know if this would be an option for an upgrade.

I don't believe so, as it only supports up to 32gb sd card. I believe 64gb technically classifies as an SDXHC, and only the thrive tablet I know of supports it.

That would be cool if it did, my 32 gb card is maxed out.

Most phones only support up to 32 but if you use easeus partition manager you can format the card to one primary 32 and one logical 32 fat32 drive. If it does actually work it will only recognize the primary 32gb side of it. The logical side would be storage that the phone wouldn't be able to use.
But like he said it wouldn't be able to read and write to a 64 compression.
I'm using a 32gb and if your full it's time to delete some movies.

Try it! Phones like the HTC EVO 3D and epic touch have been confirmed to work even though they only officially support up to 32gb but the 64gbs work just not at the fast sdxc speed

I would love to just try it but the card is $200, which is a little expensive for not knowing exactly how it would work with my phone.

Personally It's not worth it, I mean it's cool to store stuff on the phone and movies are good to watch but for 200 bucks it's just not worth the storage.
Like I said I have a 32gb sdcard and with 15 movies that I'll never watch a second time it's still over kill.

Mine is full of music, no movies. I would love to have more of my collection on my phone.

If your card is full of music, try uploading of to Google Music - now out of beta, and you can store up to 20,000 tracks on their servers for free. Nothing anyone here doesn't know, but a possible solution for you.

True, but then he'd always have to be on wifi or 3G to play, and music could be interrupted if a bad connection.

I do keep my music backed up on google music, and dropbox. I still like to just have it all on my card. If I could swing $200 for a card just to see if it worked I definitely would. Someday maybe

True but I'm not a fan of the data or battery use. I keep my phone on airplane mode a lot when listening to music...coming out of it periodically to check for missed messages, voicemails etc.

[Q] Who else regrets buying a 16gb Galaxy S3?

I knew I should have gotten it. But wasn't sure at the time if I needed that much space. With stock, it just kinda gets eaten very quickly and cannot move apps to SD card. I regret buying a 16gb model.

Then sell it and get a 32GB

Whoever regrets buying it, i doubt would still be here buddy so go post such thread elsewhere. You can move apps via third party app btw. And u mind sharing how many apps u have installed cuz i got 120 and still there is plenty of storage left. (Trying really hard not to call u a troll)

How do you eat up ~10gigs in apps??

Try to search the forum and look for DirectoryBind app

I bought a 16 gig sd card to replace the 2 gig hold over from my Vibrant. Does me well.
T-Mobile Galaxy S 3, stock and rooted.

Have you ever though about Custom room? works well or everyone and most of the geeky Android users are now on custom rom, it will give you freedom of space, you can install your App anywhere you want but remember that some Apps are bound to install in phone memory, you cannot do anything about that because it's better on phone memory.
Rest, you can install anywhere you want, it's up to you.

You checked "Yes this is a question"
Guess where it belongs?

I'm just wondering how many people thought the 16gb model was smaller than it should be. With stock, there's a lot of bloat. I rooted last night and installed FrostyJB and love it. I'm going to get a 32gb soon. I love the Galaxy S3. Its amazing. I will never go to another manufacturer. Been here since the Vibrant. Never going to leave.
And I didn't think this would be worthy of Q&A. Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

I'll regret my Galaxy S3, when a viable T-Mobile HSPA+/LTE powered Exynos 4 Quad /w 2GB of RAM and Jelly Bean++ to start with gets launched. But I'm not expecting to see that (and a Note II likely to gargantuation for me).

Why? Why? Why? Put a case on it now and wrap in bubble wrap for the rest of the week.
I got the 16 and totally forgot how Samsung divies up their storage. 16 - 2gb for RAM - 2gb for data/apps = 12.05gb left. Had I remembered that, I would've definitely bought the 32gb.
So it goes. I have a 32gb card but it supports 64, so no worries atm. I have a 32gb tablet with a 32gb SDcard and a keyboard dock with a 32gb full sized SD. More than enough storage for me.

Doesn't S3 accept USB flash drive through adapter, so you can get up to 80GB of storage.

I forget where I read it but there's an app or setting or something that switches your phones system to using the external sd card for EVERYTHING. So basically for the $30 sd card you just got a 32gb phone.

I don't regret it one bit. Best phone I've owned.

SD Card Thread

As you guys know (or if you don't, you will now) that many manufacturers are releasing phones in which do not have an external SD card and are banging us over by providing really low storage option inside of phones. What got me thinking is that there is a 64GB SD card on sale for 40 bucks at certain retailers and i wanted to buy one and then i came out with the thought that, almost every new phones coming out doesn't have a slot for the SD card. Sure the s3 does but i wont have the s3 forever. What would you guys do?
I know some say, turn to cloud but lets be realistic (at least here in the states). For starters, t mobile doesn't have the best coverage meaning internet is not available everywhere which means if you go visit grandma's farm, you are bored to death and forced to play with cows or ride horses (although riding horses should make you put your phone down lol). Lets say you have glorious verizon with its "great" LTE network and coverage. Well then you are stuck at 2GB or what ever plan you have. point is that you are stuck, so once over the threshold, you are going to get rocked with a fee.
Taking a more personal look, my SD card consists mostly of music (7GB, 800 songs and counting..I like my songs high quality ala 320kbps mp3/aac or 1000kbps Flac), I have 2 nandroids (1 for stock TW JB and the other for AOSP...you know these can make dents on the SD card, apps that require large amounts of data on the SD card.) so right off the bat, i dont need a 64 gb but i know in the future (give or take 2 years, ill HAVe to go that high.)
What are your thoughts? should i just get it anyway? what do you think can be done to get the attention of manufacturers about this issue? any other thoughts?

I'm pretty sure that Samsung has no plans to get rid of the sd card slot.

Being a professional photographer on the side... I will give you this advic - nothing less than a class 10 card, and nothing else besides sandisk or PNY

I've heard enough about how finicky the 64Gb cards can be that I decided to go for 32Gb. 32Gb is only $20. If $20 is still more than you want to spend, 16Gb is like, $10 or less. For $10, does it really matter if you're going to use it forever ? I mean, the phone likely cost many times that and has a limited lifespan of its own.
Just get whatever you're comfortable paying for.

I just bought a SanDisk 32G sd card, but it won't mount. When I try, it said blank sdcard or unsupported files. I tried formatting it but I get the same message. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am confused why the biggest concern for people when buying these things is simply cost. Sure you can pick up a 32 GB card for 10 bucks... But when it crashes on you a year from now, and the cheap ones typically do, don't come posting a thread here asking why it doesn't mount or why all of your stuff is mysteriously missing from your card. QUALITY people... Not quantity. Its like putting $30 tires on your Ferrari and wondering why it doesn't handle the way it is supposed to. I have had my PNY class 10 card for almost 2 years now with no issues, and yes it was a little more expensive but it is way more reliable than these cheap ass Kingston and no name class 2 or 4 cards that people throw into these things.
Both of the sandisks I have owned have crashed on me. A 16 and 8 GB. Never again will I cheap out on SD cards. Its not worth losing 2 years or a year's worth of data.

I've been buying 32s and compatible 64s every chance I get.
SD slots will be with us for the long haul.

Nexus phones set the standard.
i'm sure more devices will come out without SDCard and removable batteries...
i was actually quite surprised the Galaxy S3 got both good deals, since the Galaxy Nexus had no removable storage..and then HTC came along with their brilliant plan of the One Series...

I totally disagree! I don't think Nexus phones set the standard. I do understand that Google would like to gently nudge us all into using the cloud, but I will go kicking and screaming all the way. I hope they come to their senses and support choice like they should.

Get it.
I think you should get it. You might need it down the road. And even if you don't need it right away, it's still be handy to have. I have a 16GB card now, but I'll get a 32 or higher later on.
And you're right, these lack of SD slots are crazy.

Got the 64GB for Christmas.
If anyone is interested..this is where my sister/brother bought it from...

I think the bigger question is whether we should start training ourselves to use the cloud rather than relying on our sd cards. But I still say the answer is no. Samsung is a big enough player that they can dictate design rather than be dictated to. I don't think they'll abandon these removable parts anytime soon. Maybe in 5 years, Samsung will have their own cloud offering and will force us to use it in lieu of local storage. MAYBE.

I think we really lack the infrastructure to go cloud-only for things like music and movies. The cell towers aren't everywhere - many people can't stream everything even if they want to. People still want to watch movies or listen to music on an airplane without having to pay (or compete for bandwidth if the air carrier is nice enough to let people have at it for free).
I think there are many valid situations when the cloud is simply not an option.

I would buy it. I got a SanDisk 64th class 10 for$39.99 at best buy online a while ago. I am on completely stock with root only and using the apps2external mod by zedomax . Now I have 60gb internal storage and my regular internal storage is now my external storage . Quite convenient...

I got the same card, inserted it, mounts fine, copied a bunch of music to it, works great. However, it doesn't "click" when you press it in, and won't eject! Other than that, works fine. Is there some trick I don't know about? Any advice? I don't want to damage it or my phone in the process of removing it. so far, I've just not worried about it, but at some point I'll want to eject it...

It sounds like an issue with your phone. Do you have the problem with other cards as well? The mechanism to eject its part of the phone hardware and really not related to the card. My card ejects fine. I just have to push it in and it will then be ejected...

[Q] 16GB or 32GB

After ATT has screwed me (took away my $10/mo media net unlimited data for my iphone4), I've decided to switch to Sprint and switch to the GS3, since who knows when the iphone5 will be jailbroken. Plus I really want to play with Android. That said, Amazon Wireless has the 16gb version for $0.01 and the 32gb version for $49.99. So, is double the amount of space worth $50? I have 100gb google drive thanks to a Chromebook so I doubt I'll have any real issues.
Also, are there any issues that would discourage getting a 32gb model (e.g. Certain awesome custom roms only work on 16gb version, etc.)?
Thanks.

I haven't heard of any issues with the 32gb. I have a 16GB with a 16gb sd card. No issues.. I don't keep alot on my phone either way.. You'll love the S3 tho.As for roms, Search a little,, read a few post.. You'll find a good fit for you! Most of all, welcome to the family!

If I had a choice I would get the 32 gb version, I'm a storage space junkie. The 16 gb is more widespread so I see more development related to that. It does have a card slot and 64 gb cards work in it. I have only had this phone for about a month and have only run the stock rooted rom, so I'm not sure if the size difference matters with roms or not. I'm sure someone else will chime in here and help though. Welcome aboard!

Are the 16 and 32 so different that they are developed separately?
Also, OP, I and many others paid $50 for the 16GB about 3 weeks ago, which was a steal. I would drop $50 for a 32GB without thinking twice.

Well then, I'll definitely spend the extra 50 on the 32 gig version for me. My mother and father are also on my plan, and they will each be getting a gs3, but the 16gb version. I probably won't put any custom roms on theirs, but I might just go ahead and root them so I can just email them .apk files of apps and they can install them.

Go ahead with the 32Go, do not choose 16 !
If you choose 16, you will only have 11 Go of free memory, which is very small ! Install a GPS software with multiple countries maps, and a big game like Real Racing 2, and you will then loose half of your free memory ... And if you want to install apps on the SD card, there will be no perfect solution to do this.

i would totally go with the 32gb for that price. i do admit i am a space junkie. but having the extra space is always convenient. i've tried blazer rom and it was quite good. i moved over to freegs3 only because i wanted to try it out and then became addicted to it. haha. good luck!

Spend the extra money. It's worth it. I'm close to maxing my memory out. It's only 50 bucks.

Cloud is by far not an ideal solution, especially if you're on a tiered data plan and not around wifi at all times. Besides, nothing beats instant access to files that are stored on the device itself.

Good luck listening to music on the metro :good:

I kinda get the complaining about the phones only having 16g or 32, but with an SD at 64g now honestly I dont see an issue, Im one that does NOT use the cloud , but 16g on the phone for the apps themselves and 64g for my music and such is fine. Im sure the 128g SD will not be too far off. Its just the way it is now and you will have to adapt, you can complain all you want but ALL phones are taking this path so you will either deal with it or well whine about it and deal with it. Just be glad Samsung so far has kept the SD...imagine them saying hey they want a 64g phone, but lets take the SD out like everyone else. That would suck even more. With the cloud taking over as the future they do not see the need for 64g phones with SD slots. The majority will never use that so its not worth it for only the diehards. I do think they need to change it so we can use the SD for apps like it was before without hacking and trickery. This would solve alot of issues.

The cloud? Now why would I want to put all my stuff on someone else's computer? Its useful for work but nothings more practical then being able to access my stuff without data and wifi

Im sure the 128g SD will not be too far off. Its just the way it is now and you will have to adapt, you can complain all you want but ALL phones are taking this path so you will either deal with it or well whine about it and deal with it. Just be glad Samsung so far has kept the SD...imagine them saying hey they want a 64g phone, but lets take the SD out like everyone else. That would suck even more. With the cloud taking over as the future they do not see the need for 64g phones with SD slots. The majority will never use that so its not worth it for only the diehards. I do think they need to change it so we can use the SD for apps like it was before without hacking and trickery. This would solve alot of issues.

That is the reason I rejoiced when I saw HTC financial report. It seems that consumers spoke clearly, and chose Samsung over HTC, even though HTC phones look better and have nicer screens. Samsung and Sony seem the only ones that still understand that consumers may want a microSD card. So maybe not all hope is lost.

the issue is if you dont root you cannot put many programs such as gps maps on the external card. you need to root to do it.. Such as sygic navigon etc. and can quickly fill up the internal sd .

16gb internal+64gb sd = no worries about storage.
Now, if there wasn't a sd port then I would complain.

Hmmmmm...that's highly subjective. Personally, I'll take a SAMOLED over LCD any day.

Guy I am talking about a 32gb phone. I cannot use a 12gb (16gb phone)...By the time you install some apps and heavy games, you are left with maybe 5gb...I need space to shoot HD movies and photos...16gb is not enough...

Sure it can!
Just get a good quality class 6 and above SD card and you'll do just fine

Depends on the codec used to encode the images.
Could be a lot more than that.
