So sandisk recently released a 256gb micro sd card but the M5 only supports up to 200gb of external storage. What would happen if I put this micro sd into the m5?
Xperia M5 is listed at up to 200 GB because that was the biggest microSD card they could test at the release. In reality, any Android device with a microSD slot will accept cards of any size as long as you use a compatible file system (M5 works with FAT, exFAT and the common EXT2/3/4 file systems)...

I'm curious if Crossbow has a new SDHC driver? The previous SD driver was based on v1.1.
Has anyone tried a SDHC card with Crossbow to see if it works?
Universal doesn't have SDHC hardware, so driver software should not help.

I thought that SDHC cards were the same hardware as regular SD cards, just formatted to FAT32. Is that not the case? I thought by virtue of the fact that many of us are happily using 4Gb SD cards (formatted with FAT32), that SDHC cards would work fine?
Devices that wouldn't handle FAT32, and therefore restricted to a 2Gb maximum are officially "SD", and those that can handle FAT32 will be labelled up "SDHC" to avoid confusion by non-techies.
My mate has a Casio camera that would always shut down as soon as you put a 4Gb SD card in it - he formatted it using FAT16 to 2Gb, and it recognised the card, but couldn't use it. He formatted the card with the camera, and it worked fine, but only with a capacity of 1Gb. I use this as an example of what I expect SD/SDHC compatibility to be like - simply an indication of the file system, and capacity limits that a device can handle.
Cheers,
Steve.

i agree with you... but i tried a card... it refuses to work with exec
kingdomraj,
Which ROM version do you have? Is your ROM Crossbow?
Difference between SDHC and SD its the same as between CD and DVD - U can use SD in SDHC HW but not SDHC in SD HW. Not all can be changed via drivers!

Mounting a Sandisk 64GB MicroSDXC card? Inserted it into the phone but it won't recognize?
64gb MicroSDXC card mounting information here for anyone looking (other sd card sizes also apply):
OK here's the rundown on this, you have a SD card you want to place files on, if you have a 64gig you probably have HD videos (larger than 4gb files) in mind but it's different for everyone. There are 3 major formats, FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS. These all have upsides and downsides:
FAT32 - is pretty much universally compatible with all devices, however it has a fatal flaw. The maximum file size of any 1 file cannot exceed 4gb, pretty worthless...
exFAT - does not have a file size limit, yet is incompatible with many devices. The Galaxy S III does support this natively, but to my knowledge every custom kernel except Adama 003 does not.
NTFS - this has the least compatibility probably because Microsoft created it and hoards the licensing rights (don't quote me on that ). However, if you download the app ntfssd from the play store, you can format your card to NTFS (this is the most painful part of the process since it requires the card to be plugged into your PC) and mount it with any kernel and any ROM! - This is the current format of my sd card right now and it works flawlessly.
hi all, I got HTC 8s with WP8.1 update and when I insert SD card it says SA Card: attention required, then "SD must be formatted" if I press format it says could not format SD card, please use another one. I tried 2 SD cards (2 GB and 8 GB)
thanks for help
today I tried 64 GB Samsung MicroSD class 10 and same problem, when card is formatted to extFAT it says Not found, when I format it to NTFS it says following: (see screenshots)

If you have a pc or laptop try to format in fat 32 has work for me
that 64 GB can be formatted only NTFS or exFAT, today I'm going to buy SanDisk 16 GB class 10 and test it
I purchased 16 GB Sandisk Ultra class 10 and after factory reset card is finally recognized, problem solved
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.
