SDcard - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
Im almost 100℅ sure im gonna buy this phone real soon. But Ive been looking around at the development section and saw some people talking about sd's. But you can't put any kind of sdcard in this phone right? So could someone explain what they mean? Thanks in advance

The phone doesn't have an sdcard slot.

there's internal storage only, either 16 GB or 32 GB.
I have the 32 GB version, which is sufficient for me and I have a lot of music and pictures.

Upgrade 16gb to 32/64gb manually?

I was wondering if there is a way or is it possible to buy a 16 gb model of the note 2 and manually change the internal memory to a 32/64 gb. This is because they probably wont sell the 32/64gb models here in the Philippines. So I'm planning to buy the 16gb model and have it manually upgraded to the 32/64gb memory. Like taking apart the note and replace the part that contains the 16gb memory and switch it with the 32 or 64 gb. Not sure how it works but maybe its possible? Thanks
Hell no unless you can grab another motherboard from a different model

Just put in a 64 GB external sdcard dude , this is realy a noobish question mate.
This mod in effect makes Android believe that the sd card is the internal memory so you could add 64gb of internal memory

rhis is a dead thread.. anyone know where the updated steps are? i have 2 gbs left.. i have 64 gb micro sd card...

When are they going to release the 64 GB Galaxy Note 2 ?

When are they going to release the 64 GB Galaxy Note 2 ? At least when Apple say that there is a 64 GB version, we actually see it in real life.
If Samsung is not going to release it, why even announce that there is a 64 GB version. Samsung may as well say that there is a 16/32/64/128/256 GB version of the Galaxy Note 2 during its event to make it look good.
Gn2 forums state Samsung isn't going to bother with the 64, and likely focus on the 16 only.

Even if you don't believe everything posted in a forum, considering that the 64GB S3s are just now slowly starting to trickle out in Europe, I wouldn't be optimistic on that ever happening.
Wait toss doesn't have 64? Kidding, but maybe the onboard chip coukd be removed and replaced with a 64gb model. Couple of guys I work with could do it and they have the tools. Probably safer to put a 64gb class 10 microsd in it. Maybe in a year, after warranty is out, I'll have them take a stab at it.

That is why I think Samsung should not announce that there is such a thing as a 32/64 GB version of Galaxy Note originally.

I would imagine that a class 10 64GB card would not be a good idea as a replacement to the built-in 16GB flash; I think the onboard flash is higher speed than any SD card we would install, even if you could get the Note II's storage controller and such to recognize the new chip properly, and do the connections properly.
Sounds like a cool project nonetheless
Try this, it will switch your external sd card to your internal sd card. So if you have a 64gb card you can essentially have a 64gb samsung note 2.

How are things running? The internal storage on the note 2 is about triple the speed of an extreme sd card running at 95mb/s. Note 2 internal read write is just over 220 mb/s. If you use a class 10 sd card, those are only 25-30mb/s. If your playing games with huge loads like Nova 3 or move huge amounts of video/photos, it's likely going to take a huge hit to speed if you use the SD card as internal storage.
It's like desktop PCs - many people use smaller ssds for the OS and the bigger but often slower drives for heavy storage. In this case then internal is like an ssd and the SD card is like a data drive.
Can you compare the transfer rate while moving a big video to and from the internal memory compared to moving the same video to the SD card mounted as the internal drive? Curious as to your results.

My point is not that iphone has better storage or not. What I want to say is Samsung stated that there is a 64 GB version of the Galaxy Note 2 and they don't release it at the same time as the release of the 16 GB. Apple actually release the 16/32/64 GB at the same time.
The funny thing is, Samsung actually can make its own flash memory. It does not have to depend on another company.

To be honest i cant tell of any difference in speed in day to day use. Apps load fine and just as fast as the internal sd. The core apps and Stock Rom are installed on the ram, so there wouldnt be any difference really with using the device. As for transferring videos back and forth i haven't really done and tests, but than again i would always store larger media files on the 64gb sd anyway. I do highly recommend this mod especially for someone looking for more capacity. i had this mod on my gs3 and no problems then, and i have no problems now. If anyone is holding out for the 64gb note 2 just look at the gs3 situation. You have to remember you arent removing the internal sd they are just swapped for each other in the OS. So the internal is now the external. Both are accessible just like normal.
I'm running a 64GB microSDXC and it's just fine and dandy. I agree they shouldn't announce it and then not have it available though.

You should never be worried about the internal memory size - even 8GB should be enough, AS LONG AS the phone comes with EXTERNAL SD CARD SLOT WHICH ACCEPTS LARGE SD CARDS. Having the external SD card is NOT necessarily about expanding your storing capacity (although a 64GB does that generously) but rather about having your information safe, significantly less prone to accidental formatting/erasing. Most of the time when you do a factory reset your internal storage is also formatted - do you want that to happen when you stored tons of important information? Of course not!! Worried about read/write speed? Buy a high quality, class 10 external SD card and I promise you won't see any drop in speed. Only use the internal storage for files that the system really looks for and requires to be placed inhere - otherwise, EVERYTHING else, especially large media files, backups and personal files should be kept onto the EXTERNAL SD Card. There are tons of advantages doing so and all those messages companies like Apple, HTC (newly adopted this stupid model), or others alike who try to influence and convince you that external SD cards are obsolete & cloud storage is better, all that is simply marketing BS. Buy Samsung because they didn't aligned themselves to the BS, because you can have a super generous 16GB internal storage and up to 64GB external storage. Do you need more than 80GB on the go? Then reconsider...really! Maybe you shouldn't download all the internet today, leave some for tomorrow when they'll make you pay for all that "free" cloud storage that you kept cramming onto today. Be open minded, understand how things work and do what's good for YOU not for the big corporations!
Several game loft games and the internal storage is gone... some people do that ya know
And most people dont know about all the hacks to get around this limitation.

That's how it is. Space is lower than what manufacturers advertise + system hogs space. Just buy a 64GB microsd card, they're not expensive.

The 8GB Nexus 4 has just over 5GB of usable storage. There is a mod for the Note 2 where you can use your external microSD as your internal SD and vice versa. You might want to do this if you have a 64GB microSD so you'll have a lot of "internal" storage.

You still get the advertised 16GB but only 10GB is usable.
There's a good explanation for the "discrepancy" on memory.
Before I explain, you need to know that the manufacturers have not lied about the space they are offering. It's a good play of words.
First, there is a difference between,
A gigabyte and,
A giga byte.
The former is the actual term for that memory band.
The latter is simply a play on 10^9.
A gigabyte is 1024 megabytes. And a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes. And lastly, a kilobyte is 1024 bytes. Multiply that: 1024^3 and you get:
1,073,741,824 bytes.
So a gigabyte has 1,073,741,824 bytes.
You would think manufacturers would give you the full amount of bytes in each of their gigabyte.
Wrong, they simply adopted that a "GB" =
1 x 10^9 bytes. In other words,
1000000000 bytes. Which is technically true.
Since its standard notation that,
Kilo=1000
Mega=1000000
Etc...
Now that you know how they purposefully misled you, but not illegally, you can calculate your own true memory space in byte form.
Take your 16,000,000,000 and divide it by 1,073,741,824
Your magic number becomes
14.9011611938
That's the amount of real gigabytes you have.
Then there's the OS.
Try it yourself with your PC hard drive. There is always ~6.9% "discrepancy".
My HDD sells as 500GB,
In reality, I get 465 gigabytes.
This applies to all flash memory, hard drives. Also includes your SD card.
Firms also use it to advertise Internet speeds. In this case they like to use megabits instead. Where a byte = 8 bits.

There's also a 1.3gb system cache partition which is largely free, Amy idea why it's so large?

Also is it safe to download torrents directly into the note2? Using the utorrent app

You should probably ask that on a different thread since this has nothing to do with the op posted qustion, But ill answer, I need more posts up anyway gotta get rid of this junior member thing haunting me on my left, anyway, Do you need an anti-virus...no, i don't use one, the amount of Linux viruses are very low, but if you want to be safe then go ahed and get it. Are torrent is safe using the utorrent app. Well the app itself doesn't make them safe it depends on what you download, uploaders can upload good files, or they can upload harmful ones, you gotta be careful, and honestly ive had bad luck with the android utorrent app anyway, I use torrents on my computer there is really not much need to use them for your phone as most app sizes are pretty small and download quickly, and you can find most apps online just searching for the apk's if you fail or don't want to use the market...hope this helps, and apologize to everyone else for responding to an off topic post, and also doubble bumping an old thread

Lol, no it's the real phone. I actually just got mine too. 3.75GB available for me to use.
It's weird though. I had the old Captivate which had 16GB of space and more than 13GB of it was available to me. I know you lose some space when formatting but I expected to have at least 5GB with this phone. May be due to partitioning of the device from the factory. Hopefully I can free up that space, because I'd like to have it...
Maybe someone else can explain the ROM breakdown a little better

Memory manufacturers are allowed to define 8GB as 8000000 bytes. Given this information a computer would see 8000000 bytes as 7812.5 MB or 7.629 GB. And this is before it is formatted or partitioned. Figure the phone has 7.5 GB. Then you have 2GB for internal apps and 4GB for internal sdcard. Leaves 1.5GB some in partitioning and rest in ROM use for operating system and reserved places for phone and modem sections.
That is why you hear about many people adding large micro sd cards and switching internal memory with external memory.

Nice. I just popped a 64GB card in. The lack of external (and internal) storage is what kept me from buying a Nexus 7. It's ridiculous that they won't put in a simple expansion slot just so they can sell them in different capacities. Well, their loss.

At the current price, no. You can pick up a 64GB card for $35 - $40. Thus you can pick up 5 - 64 GB cards at this price. I know it's not as convenient to have a single large capacity card, but to me, it's too expensive right now. Give it 6 months and it will be considerably cheaper.

Good point. Maybe I should have read this before I bought the card.
But I am not regretting it as I don't think I can wait another 6 months and I am pretty sure I'll lose some cards if I'm using multiple cards . Now I can put many of my 1080p videos on the device!! yay!

I Recommend this card to the people who are in need of more memory if you don't need it just wait

Thanks! I appreciate having actual user confirmation this works. LG's manual and the Google Play store both indicate that there is an artificial 64 GB limitation to microSD cards on this device, which is really stupid considering that it's both a lie and it makes the device look far less useful than it really is! I only have one device that works with 64 GB cards in exFAT format but not 128 GB cards in exFAT, but it's a camcorder. The general state of SD support is a huge mess, even for technically-minded customers.

thanks for the feedback great to hear my video helped you
Hi, I just get this 128 Gb Sandisk for my LG PAD 8.3. It recognize 119Gb which is fine but I can't copy any file on it !
I tested it on Windows and the copy is OK.
What kind of file manager are you using with the Sandisk ? I am using daily ES Explorer with a 64Gb and it can copy any file anywhere.
It seems ES can't deal with this Sandisk. Same issue with the default file manager that comes with the LG pad 8.3
Thanks in advance for your help !

give this a try and see if you can write to the sdcard afterwards.

Peener81, actually finding no other solution 2 days after that post I rooted my brand new GPAD 8.3. Void warranty, but the issue is fixed ! ES explorer or the default explorer can now write on the Sandisk 128 GB.
Anyway thanks for your help !
