64 GB micro SDXC

I may be wrong but at least in the 3d (same as v 4g) can only hold up to 32 gb

64 gigs?
Might as well carry a laptop around.

 

It *should* work if you format the card in the phone. It will need to be formatted as FAT32.

 

Apparently, yes.

Picked Up a 64GB Micro SD Card - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

 

Best Buy has one 64GB SDXC for sale (online) right now for $60. One reviewer at Best Buy claimed that theirs actually delivered as a Class 10. I found similar reports on XDA regarding an Amazon item.

 

Yes, I understand. For a card this size, it would certainly be beneficial to be guaranteed the faster speeds of the class 10. I'm not sure it would make any difference (class 6 vs. class 10) in the actual operation of the phone, but the class 10 would certainly be handy when moving large amount of data back and forth.

There does seem to be some serious confusion on the speed branding. I noticed that the first 2 photos (out of the 4 photos posted) on Sandisk's own Amazon sale (class 10 UHS-1 card) are the wrong product. The second pair of photos appear to be correct.

 

Even stranger, the reviewer at Best Buy that claims he got the class 10 card after ordering the class 6 card is posting similar speed results to that of the Amazon class 10 purchasers. With Best Buy not even carrying the class 10, either he has a really high quality class 6 or they accidentally shipped him the wrong sdxc card.

 

The 64 GB class 6 & class 10 cards work great for me

 

I have a class 10 64GB sdxc card in mines and it works perfectly fine. I formatted it on the computer cause you can't format it via the phone. So yeah get one. I'm a music junkie and I'm almost out of space now. If only they would make a 128GB card...

 

I formatted my 64GB class 10 card in my phone with no problems.

 

Can anyone tell me how to do this before I tear my hair out?

I keep reading that formatting a 64GB to NTFS won't work. Everywhere I read has instructions for 32GB cards, not 64GB and say that Vista has some artificial limit for 32GB.

Should I try (via Computer>Format) Allocation size 4096 bytes and NTFS? Will that work?

Edit: I'm trying this method: http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/mot...-format-sd-card-especially-64gb-fat-32-a.html

 

I put the card in my phone, booted it up, went in the settings & chose unmount & erase SD card. Then I shutdown the phone, removed the card, put it in laptop, moved files over, reinserted in phone & booted it up. No problems!
It will be formatted FAT32.

 

My V works awesome with the 64gb card, bought a class 10/uh1 for $66 on amazon.

 

I tried doing it on my PC via this method: HOW TO - Format an SD Card (especially 64Gb) to FAT 32

I DON'T recommend doing it the way Post #1 instructs. It took nearly two hours (!) and my PC then informed me that the card was too big.

Further down in that thread, someone mentions putting the 64GB SDXC card in my Samsung S3, selecting "Format" and it does it within a minute! If I knew that initially it'd have saved me a whole load of hassle!

There's not a lot of help out there about formatting 64GB MicroSDs on the web right now, which is why I was getting so p**sed off!

 

I just formatted mine card in my Mac. Works fine. I have fuze installed so was able to create a 2nd EXT partition to use app2SD. Just another alternative for the formatting issue. I'd think a Linux live CD and gparted would work also.

 

32 is all I've ever needed.

 

I have two 64 GBs for the sake storage and a 32 GB for my Samsung Galaxy Tab II 7
