4 GB? Sounds way too insanely good to be true. And wouldn't make much sense unless they were planning to launch the exact same device later with access to the
RAM, so they could keep manufacturing costs down while still having a new device.
please dont post tings like this! i had a real hard time choosing between the16gb hd7 and the 8gb omnia 7 ( i live in uk so there is no 16gb omnia 7) in the end i opted for the 8gb omnia 7 but was secretly hoping it had a micro SD slot inside. a teardown revealed that it didnt and so im stuck with 8gb ,, at least its nand memory. how i would love 16gb but your thread got my hopes up only to break my heart again.....only way for 16gb uk omnia is to desolder the 8gb memory and put in a 16gb one? dont suspose anybody knows whatthe 16gb chip is inside the german model?
From the article:
UPDATE: Thanks to Fred in the comments bellow who found the answer to this confusing situation. For some totally illogical reason Samsung is listing the Rom and Ram in Gigabites and the iNAND storage in Gigabytes. So 8Gb = 1GB of Rom and 4Gb = 512MB or DDR SDRAM Ram.

Has anyone tried a 64gb card in the sd slot? I forget the max capacity. Thanks.

64 gb is the max!

64GB is the max advertised, but it may be capable of more. My wife had a phone with 16 as the max, but she has a 32 in hers with the other issues.

But with that "issue" u could be creating false memory and saving stuff not on ur SD card. This phone does come with internal memory I believe 32 gb or 16gb so u could have a total of 96 gb in ur pocket!!! I only have 80gb haha

Well, i can proudly say that im a holder of my new 64 gig plus SGS3 phone, well technically its a 64 gig, its actually packing a 16 gig internal memory, modication made thanks to the sd2internaltosdexternal. i was able to swap my 16 gig to my 64 gig, and made my phone think that its actually using a 64 gig internal memory, never looked back, im a happy camper. I got the 64 gig mobile ultra class 10 memory card, its actually runing faster and smoother then the internal one does, ive tested it with speeds of 13-17+ write, read 35+, it averages thought, so yeah ure phone can support upto 2 terrabytes thanks to the SDXC chip support ure phone has (SDXC is new technology thats able to pack large amount of data into one single device big or small without loss of memory maximum capacity of 2 terrabytes), so regardless if u can where to have a 2 terrabyte microsd card which prob wont happen until 5 years from now, ure phone should be able to read it on the exception u can actually get it to work by partitioning ure sd card either in fat32/or extfat.
I had one... Then flashed cm10 and it corrupted it. Some roms don't format it so keep an eye out. Have a dead sd card now

just pop the card out put it in a usb reader and reformat it in windows its VERY unlikely that a flashing could actually "break" a sd card.

That is very much correct, flashing won't damage ure sdcard, it can corrupt the software to read it but easily fixed by reformatting through windows or third party format. Only time an sd card gets damaged and goes dead is when the sd card is unable to take excessive heat from ure phone, short circuits, or are fake sdcard which are lots of them out-there, all which will defect easily or through what I mentioned.
well not entirely true. usually the sd card can "take" more heat than the phone can (they are tough little buggers) IT IS possible to software damage them. they have an electronic "bit flip" inside some of them to set read only state.
We have these wee little 808 spy camera's we use on airplanes and rockets. some sandisk cards particularly can have this bitflip occur if power is "interupted" violently to the SD card. the card enter permanent read only mode and no one has figured out a way to fix them short of sending them back to sandisk for warranty replacement.
but this is highly unlikely to happen in an android phone in fact we think this is particular to the the way the firmware in the camera "accesses" the cards ie its doing it goofy which results in that bitflip or whatever it is
just get a reader and reformat the card you should be fine.

Again that's why I said that it's not likely that the phone will damage the sdcard if it's a lagit card..... Specially if it is a fake sdcard it will get damage easily under heat that the phone would be able to take.... Now flashing isn't known to damage sd cards but short circuits that a phone can make will.... It has enough to current to damage it.
again? again what? I said nothing to contradict anything you said (relevant parts) so again what?
and assuming you meant "legit" as in not "fake" sd cards thats not relevant no one was talking about fakes. once you enter "fake" territory all bets are off as to what might kill it

lolz ok, im out of it, its been a long day heh
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...
I just had a question. I dont have any solid data on this yet but is there a mSATA SSD in the TAB 3? If there is would it be possible to open the tablet and swap it out? I know it wont be that easy..
I have seen 64GB mSATA SSD's go for cheap and 128GB mSATA's for that matter.. The cost of SSD have fallen tremendously so.. If all it takes is to make a backup of the OS on to a MSD card then make the swap reinstall the OS then that would be awesome..
I tried searching to see if anyone has done anything similar on here but it seems like everyone sticks with the hardware and mods the crap out of the software..
Any help would be great thanks again.

No it won't work because mobile devices use a kind of storage that is called flash storage or nand storage
The memory in our devices is soldered directly to the board not in a msata socket for them to do so would make the device too thick. And currently 8 16 32 is the sizes available the difference is in the density of the chip the put on the board. Think of it as the soldered a micro SD card to the board. That said I have seen some cheap tablets just use a second sdcard as system memory.
I just installed a new 128gb microsd (sandisk ultra), and for some reason it keeps unmounting then remounting a few seconds later. I tried formatting it but theres no option in the settings. Is there any way to fix this? Is it only an issue with cards > 64 gb?
I face the same problem with 64gb SDxc sundisk card!!!!!
Any help....... please
I had 64gb microsd fitted last few months, a Sandisk card. No problems at all. Recently fitted a Sandisk 128gb card from Amazon.
Had constant unmounting problem, reformatted to fat32, and still unmounting virtually every hour. Draining battery fast as well.
So, fitted 64gb Sandisk again, problem solved, it doesnt like 128gb card. 128card now in a Win10 tablet and working fine !
Although ASUS only qualifies 64GB MicroSD as max, you should be able to use up to 128GB as long as it is formatted as FAT32. Some users had their's work fine with this size.
Zenfone 2 supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC, with speed class up to Class 10
Sincerely
ASUS_USA
Thanks for reply Asus_USA. It could be a compatibility issue, the card I tried was a Sandisk Ultra SDXC class10 (newest version) supplied by Amazon.
Has anyone else had any success with this microsd in the Zenfone 2, I have the 32gb, 4gb ram version.
I have a similar issue. Read the forums and it is obvious many asus ZenFone owners are experiencing this problem. Can't asus just admit the problem and fix it and announce the fix? Or is it a bigger issue that asus will not publicly admit to?
I thought I would chime in as I too am having the same issue with my phone. I put an sandisk 128gb sdxc card in my phone when I purchased the phone it worked fine until New Years Day when I got an OTA. Since that OTA, the 128gb card will keep mounting and un mounting itself. I put an 64gb card in and for a whole day, did not unmount once. Called amazon to replace the card thinking it was the card, amazon gladly replaced the card, inserted the card and it is still unmounting-remounting. Like I said before it worked for 1 month straight with no issues in Dec. before the OTA, but after the OTA, its intermittently unmounting-mounting. Thought Id chime in since ASUS was responding and noticing others having the same issue. Obviously its a software issue with ASUS.
There are already so many issues regarding to sandisk sd card on Zenfone, I used to have the same problem, then I replaced my sandisk with samsung, problem solved.

Thanks for your help! I kind of figured it was the sandisk card because I put a little 64GB sandisk card in and the phone wont even recognize that card at all. I put a sony 64GB in and it held perfectly for 1 day, no unmounts. Off to Amazon to purchase a Sony 128GB!
After updating the latest version 2.20.40.160, my micro SD Card Adata 64G is assembling and disassembling every hour.
In previous firmware version that did not happen.
Something bad that ulima update.
My Adata 64gb card did that on the previous update, and more often at times. With the latest, the problem ceased.

i have 16 gb and facing the same problem. Maybe the cause of this problem is the firmware it self. try to update to the latest firmware
Have you tried formatting it to fat32 and remounting it?
From what I've tested, exfat has given me issues. But I'm on a custom ROM (CM 12.1 based), so YMMV.
If you're rooted you can try Aparted on the Play Store and not bother with the PC route. Just make sure you know what you're doing!

That latest update definetly caused issues with SD cards not over 64Gb but with specific manufacturers. Of course ASUS will not assist in this nor claim responsibility as this was in improvement update. Even though it was quite large for improvements. I would like to see what they say as even some 64GBs cards are not working either and they approve all cards upto 64GBs. Unfortunatley, your going to have to switch card manufacturers to get your card to work. I put a Sony card in and it works fine now. I could'nt get a 64GB sandisk to even recognize let alone the 128GB mounting/unmounting. Good Luck!
Having the same problem with 128 SanDisk (also class 10).
Looks like I'll have to buy a new card - am I better off with 64 GB or changing companies?
Yes.. it's a know problem, without a concrete solution... also me I purchased first.. read after... so I sold and I bought a kingston 128gb and since then, it works flawlessly (except it's 3gb less, but I seriously actually don't mind )

Luckily I had a 64GB and a 128GB card and they both had issues. So I just left sandisk all together and went Sony 128GB and it works flawlessly. It just seems like sandisk and this phone does not get along.
Both of you that have 128 GB but other companies, no issues experienced at all? Are you also on the 32 GB version and which firmware?

I have all sizes of sd card , 16,32,64,128 and 200gb...
I have both the 32gb phone and the 64gb phone. I have used exfat formatted sd cards, both 64 and 128gb, in both with no problems. I haven't tried the 200gb as I use that in my tablet but it is the ONLY Sandisk I have... All other cards are Samsung or the 128gb Lexmark. I have these as Sandisk had problems in other phones too... Never had a problem, ever, after changing away from Sandisk...
Sorry, should've added I'm on 178 firmware - the latest...

Thanks for the info, ASUS.
Currently I use KINGSTON 32GB SDHC UHS-I U3 with 90MB/s read and 80MB/s write. Tests in phone showed 110MB/s read and 63MB/s write speads with A1 SD Bench program. At first the were some problems like freezes but then i formatted it with ExFAT file system and all became normal.
