[Q] 64gb SD card showing as 32gb

So I bought a 64gb sandisk microSD card but when I tried to format it using GUI format it only formatted to 32gb. I formatted it on an old vista laptop since I don't have an sd card reader. Any idea why it wouldn't show as 64gb?

Where did you buy it from? There are a lot of counterfeit cards for sale.

That's not a MicroSD card, you have the wrong listing.

That looks like the right one...but wasn't Amazon as well as Ebay, rumored to be selling fakes?

So it's a SanDisk? It should work just fine.
Our phones unofficially support 64GB cards as do most phones. I remember even asking the question when 64GB cards just started to come it whether I could use them. You may need to format the card into another format then your phone will recognize every GB of it.
You will not be able to do this with your phone but formatting it on your computer. I'll try finding that form link for you which has a tutorial.

I used the GUI format which is a version of FAT32 format for windows to format the card. When I formatted it I ended up with 32gb instead of 64gb and wondering if it is just a problem with the laptop or the card. If the laptop micro sd card reader didn't support 64gb would it see the card as 32 or just not see it at all?
EDIT: I had my friend format my card with his stock S3 and it recognized all 64gb (although its in exFAT so my phone won't read it DOH) so it appears the laptop I used doesn't support SDXC and that was the issue. Gonna buy a media card reader for my pc to format the card. Thanks for the replys.

Glad you got it going. Here's the thread I started about it, if you're still interested http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-accessories/384806-64gb-micro-sdxc-card.html

Thanks for the link, but for me the issue was my microSD --> USB dongle converter which wasn't compatible with the SDXC. Not sure how the converter could limit this but obviously it did. Will try to find another usb dongle since its more convenient to have that than a SD card. i dont have a SD reader in my big PC either.

Next time you need to Format an SD Card, and want to do it on the PC / Laptop. Use SD Formatter. It has never failed me once. It has even saved a few SD Cards that were allegedly done. I've used the program on several older PC's and Laptops. With nothing more than the SD Card Adapter. But it does require the card to be out of the Device. So not having an SD Card Reader port on the PC /Laptop is an issue .

i had the same but solved
:good:

try using some other card reader or leptop with in built card reader and this time use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" google and download
and just run it then unmount ur card and then mount manually u will see 2 partitions on ur SD card reader just delete 2nd partition and click apply and then after format it to exfat by using stock windows tool built in windows ....
Think used Mac or other os format it .???

I have a SanDisk ultra 64 gig micro sd card from walmart I bought for 59 dollars and everything I use it with see 64 gigs. Don't buy the cards online there cons and if you can get a refund. I paid 100 for a 32 gig micro sd card a few years ago, so 59 for 64 gig is a steal. I have the sprint gs3 also.

Sd Card?

Which 32 gb 10 class for ZL? Samsung , sandisk , sony, transcend or which? Need to buy one soon.

samsung or sandisk both are good. Just so you know the 64gb sandisk works in our ZL's

i know 64 gb works but it's too costly for me so i am going with 32gb.

juct check my sig, im using 32GB UHS1 from sandisk and work well.

Me too. Iam abt to buy a card. But im scared that the card might get corrupted. Is dat corruption problem common in ZL too?? or only in Z?
So iam thinking of buying a Sony micro sd presuming it will not get get toasted!
So tell me a brand less prone to corruption
Thanks

When I got the phone, I just reformatted it using the phone. I never even looked in to what extension it's using. This was on 4.1.2, and it read it as 64GB then, though I believe the new update says it NOW allows 64GB. I just copied the card onto my computer, reformatted the card, and then put everything back on it. No problems up to this point, though I've only been using 4.2.2 for a few days.

I just picked up a 32gb Sandisk Ultra UHS-1 for it. (64gb was pretty spendy and far more than I really needed) I hope this was a good choice on my part, but judging by the comments it should be fine. I should have my Xperia ZL on Wednesday and will report back how it works out. (Just ordered it, got free overnight shipping)

I am using SanDisk 32 GB UHS-1. Just reformatted it with phone to see, what file system is used with new firmware. It is formatted in FAT32 by default. No problems so far.

It Works!!
Bought Sandisk 32GB 10 class 1-2weeks ago and it's working without any problem. :good:

Whatever you do, be wary of corrupt/mislabeled SD cards!
When you get your SD Card, always first check it out with a tool like H2testw or Check Flash and make sure that the reported size (32GB, 64GB) is indeed the actual storage capacity.
I once bought a 16GB flash drive that could only store 8GB of data; exceeding this 8GB would corrupt the data on the drive. H2testw proved that cheap deals online usually come with a price...

[RESOLVED] Transfer more than 4Gb video

Hello
I have a LG G3 (D855) 16Go.
I have also an micro sd card 64 Gb.
So i want to transfer a 8Gb video size on my micro sd card 64Gb but i couldn't because the format is FAT32.
Is there any solution to format in NTFS or another ?
Thanks

I believe formatting it to exFAT should do the trick.

128GB Micro SD Card....Do They Work?

Interested in this phone for the specs, and the fact it has root...xposed etc...
Does this phone support and work with 128GB micro sd card.
Was looking at a 32/64gb model in Red.

Hello, this is ASUS_USA. Zenfone 2 model ZE551ML Micro SD Card slot supports up to 64GB

Yes, I am using the Lexar 128 633X in the 551ML 4/64

Here is a picture of the card and the phone.

You should be able to use any sdxc card as the 64gb card is sdxc... If a 512Gb sdxc micro sd card came out you would be able to use this...
And yes I have tested a sandisk 128Gb micro sd card in my xenfone 2...

I am using the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (4GB RAM, 32GB ROM) and can confirm that a Sandisk 128GB MicroSD card works fine . Mine is formatted with FAT32; i am not sure whether ExFat would be supported as well.

exFat is and OTG USB sticks work fine too... I have a 64Gb OTG card that was working brilliantly with it earlier, shame a friend wanted to borrow it cos I was gonna load it with stuff to do at work tonight...

Looks like Im going to have to pick up a 128gb sd card soon. Thanks for comfirming this since I was wondering the same thing for my Zenphone 2.

I'm running a Patriot 128GB microSDXC myself.

By the way, whats the best type of external microsdcard to use?
Do we need to be choosy in buying??

I always like a good ol' SanDisk

I'm just gonna add a little bit more here, You need a FAT32 formatted sd card for firmware updates if you are doing it manually and haven't rooted yet. The stock recovery won't recognise an exFAT formatted card (which is what most 128gb sd card are formatted) so when you put the update file on your card your card won't be recognised by the recovery.
Rooted with latest TWRP recognises card fine...

In anyone wants to know, I'm using a PNY 128GB card (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OP2P0ZO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00).
Stock everything. No issues with the ZF2 recognizing the card or accessing.

Seems like a lot are testifying that 128gb is working with their Zenfone 2. My question is will prolonged use of 128gb sd cards have any problem in the future?

Pretty sure you can't have any more info than what's currently available. The phone's only been available for a few months, that's as long as testing with 128GB exFAT or FAT32 will indicate stability for. Card size has no impact on a phone's microsd reader, just like sock size has no bearing on the size of a person's genitalia
FWIW I got a 128GB exFAT a week ago and haven't had any issues. If your phone has issues reading any card, it'll typically have trouble reading every card. Special exception is for devices that software/hardware don't support larger than 32gb, exFAT or Class UHS1 speed cards. Your Zenfone2 supports greater than 32gb, exFAT, and Class UHS1.

Our only choices for backups using ASUS backup are internal device or SD card. If we can only use up to 64GB, some backups might not work if they are larger than that (apps and data) or close to that in size.

With unlocked bootloader and root I have no problem accessing the exFAT 128gb sd card even while using TWRP recovery.
Not sure if the newer roms support exFAT or I have a magical Zenfone 2 but it did an OTA update with the OTA file on the sd card ... No renaming of the file was needed...

My model ZE551ML is not reading exFat 64GB card. Can it be formatted to FAT32 or should be replaced? My PC is only giving me exFAT file system when I try to format it!!!

Mine (I think) is formatted FAT32 and works fine. It's just you cannot have any individual files over 2GB in size.
EDIT: Never mind. I just checked via mount command and it is listed as "texfat". Guess I didn't reformat from when I bought the card.

exFat doesn't seem to be readable at all!! Can it be converted to FAT 32?? Thanks.

[Q] Lollipop-Will it allow 64GB SDXC cards be used on Xperia ZL ?

Sorry if this was asked previously, I recall that the maximum SD card memory support was something like 32GB on a Xperia ZL.
Will the upgrade to Lollipop allow support up to 64GB? I have a 64GB SDXC microSD format card which I would like to use on the phone. Thanks for any update...

Yes, 64GB Cards works.

ya you can use micro sd xc 64gb................i have been using since kitkat and its works fine & it now in lollipop too:good:

Thanks
