Does anyone know the biggest sized memory card you can put in the XDA Mini S?
I currently have a 2gb mini sd card in it - I saw you can buy 4 and 8gb cards - anyone know?
Much appreciated and thanx in advance
Some 4gb cards will work, but you have to make sure they are not the ones that are high compacity cause they are formated differently. The 8gb ones will probably not work at all. There should be a thread around here somewhere that has a list of 4gb cards that will work.

oh thanx so much
I read on the first link that there is a hack for the Treo 680 which works for the Treo 750 that allows one to use SDHC. How does a product which is supposed to be incompatible with a newer technology, become compatible? Can the same basic principle found in this driver be applied to WM5 devices such as the Wizard? Is it something in the hardware for the Treo only?
memory card query.
i bought a 2gb kingston card for my mini s 5 weeks ago and had no probs at all until today, i checked my mini this morning and it says there is no card installed, i checked the card in a friends mini and in a nokia and none recognized it used my mates card and my mini picked it up instantly. did my xda kill the card? i did take the card out last night twice while i was putting some data on to my friends mini, and i never checked it after id put it back in mine last night.
i guess what im asking is do you think if was user error or a bad card? as i want to order a new one asap, and dont wish to order the same make of card if it is due to the cards incompatabilaty with the mini. however if it is due to me being a ham fisted fool, il order the same, thanks in advance for your help on this
More than likely your cards not bad, it just lost it's format. The easiest way to fix it is to put it in a card reader and reformat it again. I have a 4 Gb card and I pretty much have to do that on a regular basis and when it decides to lose it's format my wizard doesn't see it at all either.

if it is broken, don't kingston do a lifetime guarantee? and if they do you don't have to buy a new one, just get it replaced

I´ve never seen 64GB cards and 32GB extremely rarely now !!!! Please tell us the shop. It´s very interesting !
I think the only way do run a 32GB card is to make a romupdate, Its mostly a software issue.
PS Sorry for my bad english. I make every effort

I'm pretty sure it'll work! Just as long as the SDHC drivers are up to date.
Will this work in a SE X1, I'm assuming the OS has the drivers, yes?

You've likely bought a fake which is a 4Gb formatted to make it look like a 32Gb one. Send it back to eBay.

Exactly. It may say '32gb' on the label, even your computer or phone may show it has 32gb of free space, but it's a fake. And you won't find out until you put more data on it than it can really hold (possibly 4gb or even less).
Ebay + memory cards = dangerous combination. Whenever a new, higher capacity is announced but not available yet, the frauds move in and target those too impatient to wait until legitimate retailers get the real stuff. Beware.

Ummm, no, you can't by 64GB cards, SDHC only supports up to 32GB...
@nelsonong: You've likely bought a fake MicroSD. However, you should try to run a file system error check on the card before you come to any conclusions, as file system errors are often the cause of disappearing MicroSD cards in these devices. If your computer recognizes it when you plug it into your computer, and you're running Windows, simply go to My Computer and right click on your card. Select "Properties", then the "Tools" tab, then choose "Check now..." under "Error Checking", and run the error check with both boxes checked. It may take a long time, and if it doesn't complete, try it with only the first box checked. If your card is genuine and the error check completed successfully, then it should show up just fine on your Blackstone.

Being that it's geniune, it'll successfully write out data to the size it's claimed to be... If it's fake, it'll write data to it's true size and the slowly stop responding and take longer and longer to write data to the card, because of the renamed surfaces that were written to appear as a size that they are not...

I have two 2gb micro sd cards and recently purchased a 16gb micro sdhc. They all read fine in my a500, but the 16gb gets fire hot after just a short time (~60 secs) and the two 2gb cards keep at a nice temp. Is this just a bad card or an issue with my tab? Any ideas?

That's odd, they shouldn't get more than luke warm at worst. Could well be a short circuit in the card. If possible go and try another similar one or try the card in another device and see if the problem persists.
If it's an option, return the 16 for an exchange and test the new one before you leave the store. What brand is it?

I purchased it from walmart, so ill see what they say at customer service about checking it before i leave.
Its made by sandisk.
Worst case take your tablet with you and just test it in the car after you buy it. Does the same thing, walk back in and exchange it. Sandisk is a quality brand, so if you get 2 in a row doing it it's bad luck. Maybe try a different Wal-Mart or a PNY card.
It IS possible - I have a class 10 here that gets hot when i transfer a large number of files (or 1 big file) to it.
It's doing that at about 44Mb / sec, maybe it's just that the speed, like with a CPU, is causing the heat build up??

No sadly, i just tested it again, i rebooted my tab and put the card in, within 15-20sec i pulled it out and cou;d barely touch it. Im taking it back this morning so ill let everyone know what happens
yeah, that's waay to hot - mine gets warm, not that hot!
Something is wrong
I use my MicroSD slot on my a500 often - it never gets anything more then slightly warm to the touch. Would consider returning your a500 if possible - assuming you have tested a few diff brands/sources of MicroSD card.
I returned it with no problem, I bought a pny this time, little more expensive but so far I haven't had any problems, it's at a normal unnoticeable temp
wan the card working in that state..?

I thought it was... i saved a picture on it and removed it, put it in my phone, which gave me an error that it was unreadable, then i tried it in the tab again and it was empty, so no. But my new one works great, ive checked it a few times today and it hasnt been hot at all. This one im using now is a class 4
"I returned it with no problem, I bought a pny this time, little more expensive but so far I haven't had any problems, it's at a normal unnoticeable temp" (forgot to hit the quote button, damn it!)
It's possible in had some sort of short or shunt inside - you might have found that you would not be able to put a full 16G or whatever on it. (like one of the fake ones off EBay..)
Glad to hear you got it all fixed though.

I just had one of the chinese fakes sent to me from this Finnish EBay-like site, though the seller himself didn't know either that they were fakes. I actually could copy as much stuff on the card as I wanted, but only the first 1 Gigabytes was actually working; the firmware on it had been modified to just update the FAT32 header but ignore all the data Neat trick and would easily fool anyone less-knowledgeable.

Yea, the chinks are crafty these days. You'd think for all the work they gotta do to hack and make the card look like 16GB they'd just make a real damn 16GB card.

You gotta think side-ways - with cheap 8/16/32 gig cards out now, they probably have ****-loads of 1/2/4 gig cards sitting around.
It's only a minor bios or spd module flash to make it think it's 8 or 16 Gig, then they sell is as such.
Gets rid of all the wasted 1/2/4 gig cards AND makes them money!

I'm sure lots of people know something you don't.... Anyway back to the matter in hand, is this a new SD card ? If it is did you buy it cheap on ebay? Lots of fake cards which appear to be say 32GB but are in fact something like 2GB. If you attach the card to your computer can you see and access all the files ok?
Yea i did buy of ebay:laugh: all my files do show up but just won't play and it does say 64gb on the computer. I paid about £15 for it but i broke the first one and asked for a replacement. The guy however sent me a new card as well as issue a refund. Not sure why. He must have got confused.

Problem solved i reckon, there's no way you could get a legit Sandisk 64gb card for £15. Follow the instructions from here http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/-fake-usb-flash-memory-drives and report back.
Yea you are probably right. Im just gonna buy a new one since i got that SD card free anyway. Thanks.

Buy one from Amazon (not a third party seller), that way you can be sure it is what it says it is.
Went into a gaming store and got a 32 gb.
I don't know if it's something I'm doing, but this has happened twice now (both with an S7 and now my new S7E).
I bought my S7 with a SanDisk Extreme 64GB Micro SD. After a few months, I kept finding that on taking a photo, it was diverting to internal storage over the SD card. Rebooting sorted it for a while, but it reached a point where it locked itself and could only be read, but not written to. I sent it back to Sandisk and they issued a replacement.
Since then I've now got an S7E (I was part of the N7 scandal). I'm using the replacement Sandisk card I received and today EXACTLY the same thing has happened. The card has become completely locked. I can see the data that was on it from the S7E before it locked up, but I can't write to it. In fact, I can't even format it. If I put it in my PC I can read everything on it but otherwise it's bu**ered.
Where am I going wrong with my S7's and SD cards. Any ideas?
Cheers.
I had the same thing happen. My Sandisk 128gb got corrupted, sent it back for replacement to Sandisk. Then the replacement got effed. Then I bought a Samsung Evo 128gb and it got locked somehow. There are files on it that I can see with a PC, but when in a phone shows as corrupted. Cannot format, cannot do anything with it. I got another 128gb Samsung from Amazon and so far is working. I am worried it will do it again.
Can i ask which version of s7/edge you guys have ? I got the exynos model (n7 scandal as well) I popped in a 128 gb evo card, I'm worried it might do that to me :/

And me. What I've decided to do is just put music on it (i.e. read only)! That's what it's mostly for for me anyway.

Mine is also Exynos!
Well for me, it started when I had the AT&T 935A S7E with the SanDisk, but I now have the Exynos S7E and it is the one that the Samsung micro SD went bad on. So both models caused issues. I do flash custom roms and things and know the risks, but have never had this happen on any of my S2, S3, S4, S5, or S6 phones.
I got the same issue but I think its the card with the HC card I didnt have problems but with the XC card it got corrupted...
Try a different SDCard manufacturer to SanDisk?
Possible the replacement was from a faulty batch of cards the original was also from
Think I'm using Kingston
Did you read my post? It happened to me with a Samsung too.
Same issue here with Silicon power 64gb.
Might be the whole XC thing.... I have an old 32GB Samsung EVO knocking around. I'm gonna see if I can kill it haha! Otherwise I'm going to have to send the dead one back AGAIN.
I had te same issue on 3 SanDisk cards all SDXC, I concluded to stick with SDXC, got for the extreme versions.
I tried everything to recover or format.

For those with locked files on the SD, what did you when sending it back?
Probably connext ur micro sd card to the pc and done diagnostics and correct disk sectors.

Doesn't work. Already tried that.
There is a command you can use on dos that fixes read write or bad partition errors on sd cards . Check this link

Yes that's what's I've run already on my cards. I have tried everything I can find. I do work in the IT field though I'm not a programmer. The closest I've come to getting somewhere is using an application called testdisk. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk It will help you recover any files lost but that isn't my problem. The one thing I will say is I'm pretty sure all mine have been formatted as eXfat vs fat. I had one go bad when I was messing around with adoptable storage.

I also used to work in the IT field! I spent about 8 hours last time trying to repair the card the first time around - in the end I just sent it back to Sandisk. You need to request an RAM on their web site.
And yea, no CHKDSK /f, or DISKPART CLEAN will touch it. It's so odd how the phone can render a card useless - yet still be completely readable.
I have an sandisk extreme pro 64Gb sdxc since april. Only use it for photos and downloads, sometimes to listen to music. It still works flaweless *knocks on wood*
Have you guys formated the card in the phone? This cause some really bad performance for me, i formatted it with my pc and SDCardformatter and the performance is better now. But sadly not as good as out of the box. Maybe samsung screw something up while formatting with the phone?

When this happens, the card is locked. If I format the card in the phone it claims to have worked - yet nothing has actually been formatted. If I use SDCardformmatter (or Windows, or any of the 3rd party tools) they all fail. "This disk cannot be formatted"!
Yes I have put them in the phone, and my card says corrupted when in the phone, yet works fine (other than being write protected) in my PC. I did request an RMA on my first 128gb SanDisk, then it happened to the replacement, then it happened to the Samsung 128gb, and I am on my 4th 128GB which is a Samsung EVO Select. I thought it might have had something to do with not doing the full wipe of data in TWRP recovery before switching roms. It does say doing full wipe removes encryption as well as wiping data.
