which 32gb microsd card would you guys say is the best for this phone? if there is already a thread about it please link me to it but also tell me your personal opinions and what you think is the best. by best, i mean best performing (for games etc.) and one that works fast. thank you.
I suppose your looking for personal preference, or experience since its a fairly hard to define question.
Best card available for the xplay period is obviously the 64GB Sandisk.
Best 32GB card? well there is far more choice, iv'e never have trouble with Sandisk cards, others say Transcend, there are other good brands as well.
Stick to class 4 or class 6 cards for best performance if you can, many have reported performance problems with class 10 and some have with class 2 cards, but I haven't had any problems with class 2 myself.
Avoid cheap micro sd cards on ebay, other than that should cover what you would be looking for.
thank you kindly
can i get a micro sd card (32gb) better than this:

?
thanks
currently i have an 8gb class 6 "high speed" micro sd card. i dont know the brand but it says made in taiwan. it came with the phone.
also, is there any way that i can increase the amount of storage available on my phone without rooting? i have moved a lot of apps to sd card but only have about 40mb space left and only about 70 apps.
thanks
If I copied and pasted the contents from the computer, would I lose anything?

Yes, it would be the same, except you'll have more memory on your sdcard
I have that sdcard you are looking at. I have had no problems with it at all. So id say thats a good one to get

I never actually used the original sdcard, i used a 32gb straight away so i cant compare the two

thanks. i was wondering since my current sd card is class 6 so i wouldn't want it to be slower.
also, is there any way that i can increase the amount of storage available on my phone without rooting? i have moved a lot of apps to sd card but only have about23mb space left and only about 70 apps.
I have a class 4 Sandisk 32GB and Have had no troubles with it. I have been loving my PS1 and N64 emulators.

No. Root it then remove unwanted bloatware and pop perhaps a ext4 partition on the sdcard

which emulators do you use?
what is the best free one?
and is the sandisk micro sd card quite fast?
For the best emulator, get FPse, it's the best PS emulator.
It's not free, but it's worth it's money.

Burn a copy of your PS game into .iso and put it on your sd card.
You should legally own the games
No idea how to do any of that stuff and I'd probably be a hassle trying to find the games. Thanks though!

So I just got a 32GB sd card to replace my 16GB one. My 6 year old iPod doesn't hold a charge and the headphone jack doesn't work anymore. So my thought was now use my phone as my iPod (good bye Apple).
I was surprised at how easy it was to put the new one in. Plug it into the computer along with your phone and copy all of the app data (and pictures, etc. you want) onto the new one. Unmount the one in the phone, and put the new one in.
Not only do I now have double the space, but my phone is much snappier. I used the same class and brand, so I figure it must be the way the app data was written to the new one. Instead of apps randomly installing files while downloading/saving on your phone, I think the one way ticket across platforms put them in nice and neat.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is my assumption off the mark?
Shhhh! ... don't tell any Apple users about this. Its a secret. Changing the battery and adding memory, priceless!
Can't say I've noticed any speed increase, but it's a good path to take for your music. I had to go all the way to a 64GB card (yes, they do work) to hold all mine - and the various ROMs I tend to hold onto.
64gb for the win.

I just got a dinc2 and I'm planning to root, ROM, and hotrod the phone.
I have a new c10 16GB card for it and I'm wondering about the optimal setup. Any tips?
Special format?
Special partitions?
I'm coming from an OG Droid, so card usage was important. I know the dinc2 won't have nearly the issues the OG has, but I thought I'd ask...
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2
I am not doing anything special with my card except for storage and the phone runs great. I've just got it O.C.'d with the V6 supercharger script. Maybe someone else cam chime in who has played with partitions and whatnot.
Sent from my Skyraided Droid.
Nothing special here either. I just recently got my 32gb sd card and that was only because I needed more storage. Music and rom backups were filling up my card. Performance wise it runs great with nothing special done with the card.

Thanks, guys.
Any file system favored over another for card formatting?

I know the s3 has expendable memory... But not all the apps can be installed on the memory. Would you go with the 32gb for extra $50?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I did not because 16gb of memory can be bought for 15$ and I use the Internet for most of the stuff I do on the phone. Not a big gamer but I can't imagine a game that would not fit on 16gb. You can move some apps to sd. It's up to you dog.

Both 16/32gb have external sd card slots. Supposedly supports up to 64gb microsdxc.

I'd go for it. That was my original intention, but I couldn't wait for T-Mob to get some in stock, and I refused to order it online. So I bought the 16 gig, will wait for updates to fix any issues and for JB, then I'll sell this one and defray the full cost of the 32gig. Might even be able to get it in black by then. Anyway, it's all in the future. I'm really happy right now.
And remember, its like a gun! Better to have the space and not need it than to need the space and not have it!

It's not worth the $50.
If you worry about your apps, (Which most of them are able to run from sd card) you can have them all in your phone and your photos/music/everything else in a 32GB sd card.

nah dont waste your 50$. I bought a 32Gb micro sd for like 15$ on amazon for all my media stuff (music, documents, video,etc). you have 11Gb for apps alone and no way you can fill that up (btw I dont install big games)
Not worth it, get a sd card that can then be used for future phones. Justification for me is that this phone will be drop in value when the S4 lte comes out and it doesn't matter if it is 16g or 32g the market will be flooded.

So you're basically telling him to avoid getting something he may want because when he goes to sell it, there will be a lot of them available?
If I was OP, I'd get the 32gb if he can get a deal on it. Even at the normal cost of the phone and a 64gb card, you have almost 100gb to store stuff. But then again, I use my 64gb card for the camera and video recording as well as internet radio recording and much more.

Not so much as telling him what to do but looking at it from another perspective like playing devils advocate.
The OP should also consider your perspective especially if warranted by his needs of memory usage
If you don't expect to get a SD card then the 32G phone would be a good choice. When you look at the maximum memory capabilities of the 32GB phone there is only a 16% reduction with the 16GB.
I got the phone subsidized 16GB for a total of $179 and when I asked CS what the cost difference of the 32GB would be and they said 80. If it was $30 I would have grabbed it but not $80. I think I made the right choice because by the time a newer phone comes around there may be a need because I expect to have a collection of music and videos by then for now I have almost squat.
If you have endless amount of apps then go with the 32gb. You can't at least not out of the box save apps to the sd card. For everything else the 16gb should be fine with expandable storage up to 64gb

Hi all, just noticed my 16GB Note 2 has only 10.36gb available. Should it be more than that ?
normal i believe. after system files and things like that i have like 9 and change free
This is quite annoying really. What makes it worse is that you can't move programs/apps to external SD Card ATM.
its not so much a bummer for me bc i dont install much. i love the phone so much i over look this :good:
True. We need to get the App 2 SD implemented. There are so many games i would like to install and haven't because of this reason.

Blows my mind that some people don't understand that 16gb will NEVER mean 16gb of usable space for users. And with microSD cards being so cheap I don't get why it would ever even be an issue. Best Buy had 64gb Sandisks on sale last week for $39...

Try installing 1 GB games on the SD card without rooting and without having the App 2 SD option.
App 2 SD option is needed urgently.
it doesnt mean I dont undersrand, it just isnt acceptable to loose nearly 6gb of storage space. Loosing 2gb is acceprable but nearly 6gb is apalling. Can you point me in a working workaround to install apps to external sd card then as the only one I can find a lot of people are saying it doesnt work or function very well.
Maybe you can use Directorybind? Works for me, doesnt work if you are not rooted tho

I have a SG Note2 ..I bought a 64 gig card ( Sandisk) when I got the phone, installed and formatted it. Up until last week I didn't really notice the storage on it. I was downloading some old albums via uTorrent and all of a sudden I was told I had insufficient storage space. I downloaded anyway, checked, made sure all was on the SD Card, and then did a restart..after the restart all my newly downloaded music was gone, and I saw that I had 59 gigs TOTAL SPACE..but only 36 gigs AVAILABLE SPACE..
My phone is Rooted, and somewhere I remember being told that none of the ROMs recognize 64 gig cards. I did not root my phone, a friend did it for me and I spoke to him today ..he told me that I should try and reformat the card with the phone again..I did and once again it said I had 36g of storage available..but showed 59g Total Space.
Can someone tell me if this is a problem with the ROM or is it a problem with the phone..I have read in other Forums that Samsung doesn't support 64g SD Cards..is there any way to get the phone to recognize the card? Or is it an error with the card? I am not sure that it read 64g when I installed it, I just assumed it did.
I am in the process of trying to learn how to re root my phone, I was content to just let it be.if it is a fact that I will never have access to 64g on this phone as a Rooted Phone, then perhaps I should go back to Stock?
I could really use some help..I am truly lost in technical jargon..and do not fully understand rooting..If you all could help me out here I would appreciate it...I would like to learn, but like any Newbie I am scared I'll mess my phone up..I am good with Computer stuff, just scared of Killing my phone,,LOL!
59.45GB is what mine shows and I believe that is correct. The note 2 definitely does support 64GB cards.
