I have ordered 32 GB sandisk ultra

I remember reading something about 8 gb being the biggest card to not cause problems with a2sd. So I'd like to know whether this is true and if anyone is using a 16 or potentially even 32 gig card just fine?
I'm using a class 4 8 gb card right now and it's too small for my needs. I also wonder how much difference a higher class card would make? I hear a class 6 card is the minimum, but so far my sandisk ultra class 4 was performing ok.

i use a 16 gb scandisk sd card with a 1gb apps2sd partiton, and my friend has a 32gb on with the same partiton with no problems
Tnx for the info. What class is your card though, people say class 2 is no good?

Hello everyone,
I've been reading that a class 10 memory card would make a big difference on Xperia Arc S. What would you recommend?
Class 10, they are fast

I already know it Flo95, but which one?
Check my sig
Even with 23GB on it it still writes @ 9.5MB/s and reads @ 20+MB/s

You can't really go wrong with a class 10 sd card in my experience. Kingston, Sandisk,....
I have Samsung 16gb class 10 and is very fast!
My 16 gb class 10 is full of music, go for a 32gB better!

Have you made a partition with ext3 on 16Gb? How big it should be... Because right now I have 16Gb Kingston but my ext3 partition for the app2sd is only 1Gb which appears on the phone as 380Mb

I maybe wrong, but unless you're on a custom ROM, if you're on stock Gingerbread, i don't think you will need any partition whatsoever, as you can just use your phone to format it the card.
Hi,
My mobile is not showing 32 GB as phone memory but rather it only shows 25.24GB.
the 7GB difference is huge and I was wondering if this is normal and if not, how can i rectify it.
I am using Charmeleon ROM.
Thank you for the advice

Basically yes. Unless you use a very lightweight system. Won't see the stograge change by much though. Either way, this is miles better than the 9gbs the xl people have access to

Not 7, you have around 2GB for apps too...in the future we will probably be able to cut the system space...

And BTW, if you buy a HDD for you PC with 80GB, you wouldnt have all 80GB,the missing GB are lost by transfer bits into bytes...so our system is using maybe 3GB...
And its the same by gs3 too...

Formating an 32gb sd card will give you ~29gb real storage. And now look at settings->storage->total space...this is a second partition on your sd card. Last one: One some OS's it's calculated with 1mb=1000kb and some OS's or progs using 1mb=1024kb...Win Explorer for example says total 25,2gb space and total commander ~26,5gb.
So...there's nothing wrong with your device.
Even if it was stated as 32gb it will only have 29.5 or 30gb. Just like my 32gb sd card only have 29.4gb

u have 2GB to use it as microsd cart, seems that's virtual partition, so if you see it logicaly i have 1TB disk and it shows me like i have 931GB where the 70GB are at? that's the technique of the disk manufacturers

T-Mobile says that it's only expandable to 64 GB with a microSD Card but of course everything always has it's tricks. So is there anyway to use a 64 GB microSD Card on a 16 GB Galaxy S3?

It's only expandable up to 64 GB. If I use a 64 GB microSD Card on a 16 GB phone then that would go up to 80 GB of storage. The guy at T-Mobile even told me that I could only use a 32 GB microSD card. Basically if there was a 48 GB microSD card then I could use it because it wouldn't go pass 64 GB. This is all pretty much info from the guy at T-Mobile.

I think he means that u can't use any SD card bigger than 64gb. It shouldnt interfere with internal storage.
You can use any sd card upto 64gb regardless of internal storage.

Could've sworn that he said I could only get up to 48 GB and wouldn't be able to get a 64 GB microSD Card. So I can get up to 80 GB of storage pretty much, right?

Yes. So you can use either a 32 or a 64. There is no such thing as a 48 lol. But yes no bigger than 64 gigs.

Having a 64gb card is awesome but to get the most out of it I would recommend using the apps 2 SD scripting and of course a really fast micro SD.

I plan on getting a SanDisk ultra microSD Card. Is that good enough?
I dont much care for sandisk, but last I checked they were the only brand that offered a 64gb micro sdxc.
That may have changed by now though.

dude, i had to read this like twice to get what you are trying to say.... and i'm still confused.
let's make this simple. people at t mobile don't know ***t about anything technical 95% of the time. so just, that whole conversation you had with that clown, crumble it up, burn it with fire and hatred.
your device will support an EXTRA 64 GB of storage (via a micro SD card)..... the problem, however, is 64 GB micro SD cards do not come in FAT32 format, which is what you need it formatted to for the device to recognize it as external storage. basically what will happen is you will plug the card into the device, turn it on, and your device will say it is not recognized or something along those lines.
Just to be clear, because i know this all sounds complicated, and it is.... the problem is the formatting structure of the two disks.... you MUST have FAT32 as your external because that is what the device is programmed to recognize. 64 GB cards come in a different file system called exFAT (which is what your internal storage is formatted to)... issues. obviously.
furthermore, the problem with re-formatting the 64 GB card (because this can be done as well to get around that issue) is that because of the file system structure of FAT32, it does not run optimally when the disk size is larger than 32 GB... i have partitioned disks larger than 100 GB to FAT32, but performance suffers.
basically, just get a 32 GB class 10 card and call it a day. unless your ROM/kernel supports exFAT in the external storage, you will not be using anything larger than 32 GB.
hope that made sense. it's late. read up on file systems and block sizes on FAT32 and exFAT disks and you'll understand entirely what I am talking about.
