Hello all, anyone know what the max card support for the universals sd/mmc reader is
Thanks
Hi there,
If I'm not wrong, the manual says clearly that universal can read/write SD cards up to 2GB (unless someone with a better expertise than me knows something different).
In any case, this is not completely right, many people uses 4GB cards (including me), but it seems that not all the applications can cope with them, photo camera is one of them, if I'm not wrong, it will not save the photos to the SD unless it has 2GB or less free space.
Somewhere else in this forum, someone else said that he even uses a sam..ung 8GB SD card (very expensive).
Hope this helps

Yup i use a 8GB Samsung SD Card to watch DVD's. I dont have the time to encode DVD's to avi xvid format so i just copy them directly to the 8GB card and watch them on the tcpmp player. Quite fun i believe. I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card release by samsung and sandisk.
im using the 4gb 150x sd card from mobymemory (£47) no probs! nice and quick too noticed tomtom load quicker.
also im using the newest qtek rom and the camera stores to card no probs (dont have to have 2gb used as per some other complaints)
Im getting the 4gb Transcend sd card soon.. im currently using 2gb transcend but I soon realized it still isnt enough...the bigger, the better of course
nuclear, I don't understand... how is an 8GB SD card possible??? 4GB should be the absolute max.
Does the Universal support SDHC in one of the newer ROMs or something?

Well the device will always show you 2000MB regardless of the ROM. But you can put more than 2000MB on your 8GB card and it will read all the files and you can use them. Its just that at this part the memory monitor will show your SD card in the negative section or full. All SD Card are compatible in the HTC Universal. Enjoy.

Brain... does... not... compute.
Nuclear, I need more info. What card did you get? What brand? Is it SD or SDHC? How did you format it?
What's different about the Universal that makes it possible?!?

Its a SD. Samsung 150X 8GB SD Card for $200 or so. I formatted it when i insert it into the Universal. Then i hooked it up to my PC. Transfered a DVD into it. And then back into the Universal and it played the DVD!!!
Hmmm I got one of these
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(1239)-SDSDPH-1024-SanDisk_Ultra_II_SD_Plus_USB_1GB.aspx
MUCH faster transfers when you put it straight in your PC. I'm thinking of getting the new 2Gb version soon
nuclear
We all want to see your super card 8GB. Please will take photographs cards on background your universal or you have no photo?
In the same way report us address where we can book the card on 32 GB or you have no internet address?
I think nuclear you fibber!!!!!

well im just pretty much after a reliable card , one that will store my app data etc but im worried ill get one that wont be able to do what i want
well mines fine matey, nice and quick too, compared to my 1gb puremedia one. so ill recomend my 4gb 150X one from moby memory with 5 year waranty (free usb card reader too) about £47.
Thanks, ordering one now
iv currently got every single photo we have on our laptop of the kids (thousands) on the card. all my non vital apps, i just have handy menu, journal bar and a few others staying in the phones memory
then dumped the movies, saw3, world trade centre, happy feet and jackass2 on the card, plus tomtom uk & euro maps and still got just under a gig left

My Universal screwed up my precious 4GB SanDisk Extreme III card and my 8GB Samsung. Literally it made my 8GB to 2GB and my 4GB to 2GB. I lost 6GB of space on my 8GB card into nothing. I am contacting tech support all day and this is what they posted. THE MAX IS 2GB!!!! >>>>>.<<<<< scary ;(

I was going through the SD specifications, and it looks like that SD 1.1 could support up to 64GB (!!!) using 32KB clusters.
Unfortunately, this won't ever happen, since SD 2.0 flags anything above 2GB as a memory error.
8GB should be possible because FAT32 defaults to 4KB clusters, which would match. Larger capacity would need reformating to match the larger SD clusters, but technically it should be possible, IMHO.
So probably some of the Samsung OEMs do work at 8GB using SD 1.1. But I'm seeing the new auctions say SD 2.0 compatible only.
Oh well, I can live with 4GB, but I hope Windows Mobile adds support for SDHC and MMCplus.
Nuclear, the 4GB Sandisk I believe is SDHC, so it will probably screw things up. The 8GB Samsung you could probably reformat on your PC.
If you have an SDHC and an SD USB reader, use the SD one, as the SDHC one might force you down to 2 GB.
Hey, it's just my guess from reading the specs.

My SanDisk 4GB Extreme III is a SDHC? I was sure i bought a SD only. It says SD on it....
As for my 8GB my PC detects it as only 2GB. Reformatted and again only 2GB. I know another way to fix it. Partition MagiC!!! I lost 6GB in partition space. And same with the other 4GB card. Once i partition it every 2GB it will make 3 cards in 1 . Well stay tuned and i will let you know how paritioning the space helped.
I'm wondering if the Sprint version has a sd card slot, on the best buy site it doesn't give different versions with gb but in the description it says it has a sd card slot for expandable storage. Best buy

That is a typo...no US version will have a SD card. All the other major US carriers don't have SD card slot or removable battery. Only the Korean version has removable battery.
Never trust what Best Buy or even what Sprint posts because they can have typos. Like on Sprint.com, it lists that the G2 doesn't have Wifi. Obviously the smartphone will have Wifi so that already gives it away there. The best way to verify specs is to look at the LG website. If you look at the link below and go to Technical Specifications and expand it, it only shows Internal Memory of 32 GB ROM (24 GB user memory).

i wonder if note 4 could support this new kind of sdcard ??
Hi,
yes. The Note 4 supports 200GB MicroSD cards. I have a SanDisk 200GB card in my phone. No issues so far.
Regards
Stephan
I have the same one as well. 10gb partitioned for link2sd and the rest for storage. zero problems
This may sound stupid, but i will go for it and ask. Can you make ext sd + phone sd to work in RAID ?
Hi Sectoras,
no, RAID is not possible. And what RAID should it be? Mirroring, Striping, Raid 5, Raid 6?
You are thinking about a joined memory of internal and external SD card, right? This will be possible with Android 6 / Marshmallow.

I was thinking about RAID0 (Striping i think) to improve performance. If MM support such thing it could be awesome

No, it does not support striping. What it does support is called "Just a bunch of disks" (JBOD) but that's no RAID. JBOD is a storage volume created by joinig disks (here SD cards) of different sizes. JBOD does not improve performance, it just supplies you a single storage using all memory cards (Phone 32GB + ext. SDcard 200GB). There is also no data security (redundancy of data). Therefore RAID 0 (striping) is, technically spoken, not a RAID as well because of the missing data redundancy.
I also expect several issues with the JBOD solution of Android 6. The externa SD card is much slower than the internal memory which might have and according to some reports on the net does have adverse effects on the loading speed of apps and data. Also when the SD card breaks you will probably have to re-install the complete phone as you have no influence on where the apps and data are stored.
I saw a 256GB micro sd card. I'm assuming that will work too?
Yes, should work if the 256GB is an SDXC card.
If a phone supports SDXC cards based on the SDA 3.0 specifications (like the Sandisk 200GB card) it will support every SDXC card following that standard.
SDXC supports 64GB up to 2TB.
If some day there will be for example a 512GB or 1TB SDCX card available it should also work with the Note 4.

256GB Micro SD cards don't exist only 200GB
You either saw a regular 256 GB SD card or a fake 256GB micro SD card which has been reviewed as BS.

There is no such thing as a 256GB microSD card at this time. Biggest one you can find is the 200GB one mentioned.

ur wrong.. 200gb is not the last high capacity micro sd.. their is one micro sd with 512 gb capacity.. company name is Microdia.. just google about it..
The 512GB card from Microdia doesn't exist yet. At one point they were claiming it would be out 8 months ago (and was going to cost $1000) - but again it does not exist yet (and might never be as it's been almost a year since they maid these claims). I've seen plenty of people scammed and ripped of on these cards - again - THERE IS NOTHING BIGGER THAN THE 200GB for sale at this time.
Interesting I didn't know the Note 4 could support a microSDCard of that size, I thought the largest card that can be used is a 128GB card.

I'm using a Sandisk Extreme plus 32gb card and have never noticed a slowdown while using it as internal memory. I was previously using it on my old 3rd gen Moto and now have it in my G4. I picked it up at Best Buy on sale for about $24 US. I really don't need to use it as internal now but I wanted to try it that way. I may eventually format it as media but for now it's being used as internal and working great.

I've been using the PNY Elite card. It's cheap (32GB for less than $10) and the read/write speeds are great. No issues on my Moto g4 or GoPro
This is the card --> http://amzn.to/2beqqvZ
I have a standard Samsung class 10 16gb with no issues
Now Using a Sandisk extreme 32gb U3 as previous Kingston 32 GB Micro SDHC UHS-I Speed Class 3 U3?*was reported as too slow for Internal use
Samsung 64GB EVO Plus
Awesome random read and write for use as internal, with great sequential for those videos and large pictures.

Added: I am still using it as external in marshmallow however, I don't see a need for internal as 32gb is PLENTY for the apps I use.
Hello, can anyone test 256 gb sdcard with mi a1, I know the specs said it can only support up to 128gb SD card ,I want to test but I don't have 256gb SD card
Ty
Why would you anyone get a 256GB SD to see if it works? It's useless....
Why, because if it work I want to use it, for storing movie and work stuff
I don't have 256gb sdcard ,that's why I posted here and asked anyone who owned a 256gb sdcard to test it with their device
I use 200gb memory card without any problem.
I also have a 200gb, system says its a 256gb card with 61gb used by system, which makes it have about 180gb free, so exactly what I'd expect, works without problems
Thanks bro, now I can buy the 256gb sdcard without hesitation

Are you using Oreo? The is a bug where cards are reported as being double their actual size so it looks like your card is actually only recognised as a 128GB.

So how did the 256 GB card work out for you?
On the subject of testing sd cards: Did anybody test 400 or 500gb?
