HTC Snap MicroSD capacity?

Hello all
i have been told that the Snap can handle 2 GB MicroSD maximum?
could you please confirm that since i am buying MicroSD.
Thanks in Advance, great forum

I use a 8 GB San Disk Mobile Ultra MicroSD HC at the moment. No problem!

I believe its up to 8GB, but if it supports SDHC (4+ GB) then it should be able to support 16GB if u find one...

hey dude i'm using a microsd hc toshiba 4gb but i cant seem to locate it.. seems like it isn;t compatiable?

Backup All the Data on the card (to PC or similar) and use the format tool on the phone. If anything format the SD card on the PC...
Im more than postitive a 16GB (and anything below) card will work. The phone has specifications for SDHC, which is a "Standard". This standard is meant to work with ALL certified MicroSDHC cards (SD Cards over 4GB are SDCH which is backwards compatible with all regular SD Cards 4GB and below).
Your Toshiba 4GB irwinlee could be locked to a specific device, or improperly formatted.

Working for me:
AData 16GB Class 6 (used on one phone)
Transcend 16GB Class 6 (used on two different phones)
Not Working:
Kingston 8GB Class 4 (tried in two different phones, over 40 tries)

2GB PNY class 2(?) appears to work with infinity678's method (plugging in usb during vibrate after hitting recovery).
Someone else said they got the stock Verizon 2GB Sandisk working using Krayzee's method (clicking the SD in and out).

I'm going to pick up a class 6 8gb card tonight from fry's, I have no luck with my 4gb or a 1gb card I have tried.

2GB Shipped SD card would not work with any method for me.
1GB PNY class 2 I pulled from my TP2 worked 1st try with:
1) run loop
2) adb reboot recovery
Root did not stick the first time... same method worked 1st try on my second root attempt

I have a generic 4g class 4 card. I got it for 9.95 from Target and it came with a microSD to SD adapter, microSD to usb adapter, and a free song download from target about a year ago. It was packaged by Dane-Elec.
So re-cap:

I have the very same card, and it's packed with files and partition, I don't recommend sinking your money into anything less than a 16gig card. 8gb class6 did me no good, it's too fast!

noika 1GB class 2 (slowest i think)
here are my steps:
Unplug the USB
Press and hold the optical Trackball and press power
Once in the menu press power again
Wait 20 seconds for it to do its bit
Plug USB in and wait another 10 seconds for your computer to detect the phone
press menu down to highlight "recovery"
set up the cmd for adb shell loop
Press power on the phone + hit enter on cmd at the same time.
the screen should change from "error: device not found" to "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -"
ps: it worked for me.

exactly as stated on card
Mirco SD HC
Class 2
16GB
C16G JAPAN
Or Better know as
CARD THAT CAME WITH MOTOROLA DROID
Have about 10gigs of music on it atm of rooting

8GB Topram class 2 sdhc
freshly formatted and completely empty

I was able to whip into shell in recovery first try using the loop method after pulling the battery and starting up the phone while plugged in. I used a "SanDisk 16 GB Class 2 microSDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDQ-016G" which i bought from amazon last week.
It Took a few tries to get the timing right to trick it into using the payload, but root was a success. Maybe worth noting...while continuously re-pushing the ota.zip file back onto the card in order to do the swap, at one point i accidentally installed it fully (the original OTA, not the payload). After it finished, I tried once more to trick it into using the payload and this was the time it worked. Doubt this has anything to do with my success, just thought i'd toss it out there. Good luck people!

PNY 2gig from my WM phone. Never let the Inc boot normally with it in. Went directly to hboot etc and it worked the first time after hours of trying.

Old Moto Droid Card
I used the 16gb card from my moto droid.
I rooted twice with it. Had to re-root after I screwed up the superuser.apk push.

pny for the win
6 hours with no luck on a 8gb sandisk class 2. First try with a 2gb pny it worked perfectly.

Cheap 8gig Sandisk Class 2 from Walmart.
Worked the first time.

[Q] Need help with Micro SD

Hey guys,
I have been running Android on my HD2 for a few months now using the stock 16gb class 2 and had no real issues. I purchased a Patriot 8gb class 4 to replace the stock because I need it for another device.
I have tried formating it 32kb and 64kb, default allocation size and nothing has worked. After transfering the android files and running haret a few minutes later I get stuck on the boot screen. I tried a fresh install of various android builds and keep having the same problem.
Can someone tell me the correct way to prep this card for my HD2 to run android? Maybe a utility or something.
Link to the card's product page: http://www.patriotmem.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=4&catid=16&prodgroupid=78&id=730&type=15
Thanks

Give SD Formatter a try in quick format mode.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
It formats FAT32 with 32kb sectors, and has worked well here with multiple class and size MircoSDHC cards. That said, 16GB Sandisk cards are cheap now. Maybe consider picking up another one and ditching the Patriot, if SD Formatter does not fix it up.
Best to all,
R

I'm sorry for you... That card is a junk! I also have that one and after many hours of frustrations end up buying sandisk 8gb class 4 for $15usd.
I have done all suggested ways to prep that card. If ever you will be able to boot, expect for minutes of lags.

I would recommend what has been said before, just re-format the SD Card.

[Q] [JAN 17] [HELP] [REQUEST] NAND Android w/ EXT4 support does not support 16GB SDHC

I have tried several builds but the result is disappointing. None of them can boot when I want to use EXT4 partition for data on it with my large SDHC card (16GB)
My 8GB Class 6 microSDHC runs fine but when I want to use Class 10 16GB card, the system crashes on boot...
I think 15GB FAT32 partition (I created 1GB EXT4 partition at the end of the card) is too large to be seen during Android boot or what?
Do you think it will work when I create only 7GB FAT32 and 9GB EXT4 it will work? Or should I switch the order of partitions (EXT4 first?) (it is not good solution but good for test)
Can someone from cooks help here? Thank you very much.

Firstly, this is the wrong section. There is a Q&A section explicitly for questions like this.
Secondly, I have a 16GB card with exactly this setup (15+1) and it works perfectly. Your card is possibly defective. Grab this little program and test it.

I use a 16GB CLASS 6 SD CARD for a long time.
maybe is something wrong with ur 16GB
and never create a partition bigger than 1.5g for your EXT4
I still guess the problem is your 16gb card..

I am also using a 16GB class 6 micro SDHC with no issues so far.
My partitioning is 14+2 (FAT32+EXT4) and runs like a charm.
I agree with the others, there must be something wrong with your card.

Thank you. I will test it using the program...
THe card otherwise works correctly...no bad clusters, missing files....perhaps the Class 10 is only a advertisement and the card is too slow? (because I heard that if the card is too slow then the system may boot too long and also become unresponsive (force close or wait for main android process etc.)
SO to give a public anti-advert I will reveal that my microSDHC card is KINGSTON CLASS 10

I have the same card kingston 16Go C10 and no pb !
My advice, make your partition (after full format fat32) with CWR (swap 0)

I've been trying everything to get a NAND install using a (brand new) Kingston 16gb class but have had no luck. The same process works on my sandisk 2gb card. I posted the question earlier today for any advice.

I got same problems with my 16 gb class 10 card (adaTA).
The card is 100% error free and on winmo work superfast. Unfortunately when i try to make ext partition on this than is going to work so sloow and with errors.
I have also PQI 8gb class 6, sandisk 8gb class 2 and samsung 16gb class 2 and I have to say that ext partitioned roms work fastest on slowest sandisk!!!
What is going on?

SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC. no problems with it.
i used gparted livedisc to format 1gb ext4 partition. works great

32 GB ok but what class?

exFAT WORKS ON LS7!!!

Finally!!! Those who use 64GB or bigger cards can use exFAT. I can confirm it works as I'm using it right now. No more 4,5GB file size limit! (tested writing 6,5GB mkv video to the card, worked without any issues) Writing big files to the card is about 10-11MB/s (when I was using fat32 it was 4-5MB/s). It's a shame that it doesn't work in CWM though (can't mount - gives me error). But I think devs will come up with solution for this quickly. At least Phil in his thread about Touch CWM said that he will provide fix when official LS7 will be released. So now you know and you can enjoy!
SMALL UPDATE:
If SGN says that your card is broken and needs formating than you should let it format the card. Mine was formated in Windows with SDFormatter application and still SGN gave me message that I need to format the card. After format in SGN it works as it should.
SMALL UPDATE2:
If you decide to buy a 64GB or bigger card for your SGN it would mean that it almost certainly would be SDXC micro exFAT formatted. In specification there is only said that card readers even if they are compatible with SDHC, might not be compatible with SDXC cards. And that would have been ok, but in my case my old SDHC compatible Imono card reader was destroying my SDXC cards! Who would have suspect it? It happened 3 times and I was able to use my card after I bought a new card reader certified for SDXC and whole operation of exchanging broken cards took almost 2,5 months! So be careful where you put you 60 dollar card into! Old reader might read the card properly but it can damage while writing stuff to it.
It's not really that important if you plan on using your card only with SGN. At least I don't have any issues with it now. But then there wasn't JB for SGN and so I was trying to use NTFS and so I needed a card reader.

waow very nice news thank you

So happy about this wait for the official update to come!

best news i heard today. thanks.
- post from SGN.

Does this mean we can use files larger than 4gb?

Well, it should. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT states that exFAT should be able to support file size of 16 Exibyte

Care about file size. SPEED was the problem!
Good you say about cwm and exfat. Need a second card with me then at work, to dl and flash new roms when bored.

can i formate my internal SD to exfat??
will it work.. ??
I dont need SD card for my use.. Just need 1gb of the total space in it..

I didn't try that, but I'm pretty sure it's not possible, as exFAT doesn't come from Google and it's not open standard (I think Microsoft is selling liceneses for this). Even though Android on diffrent brands of smartphones is modyfied here and there to accomodate the devices and enhance user experience it's still Android and I've never heard that android is supporting exFAT. Even if what I say is wrong (I'm still half noobish so it's possible ) there would be no real benefit from using exFAT on internal sdcard (well apart from "unlimited" file size - like it would matter on 11GB of free space anyway ) as the system was designed for hotswapping/external devices and we have internal sdcard which can't be removed.
What's more I have better writing speeds on my internal card (12MB/s) than on external 64GB exFAT (max 10-11MB/s). I don't really understand what you mean by "I dont need SD card for my use.. Just need 1gb of the total space in it." You think that beacuse of exFAT you will have 1GB more space on your internal sdcard?

It said mine was broken,bla,bla,..reformatted, then week later said same thing!

Sent from the man hiding in your attic......

I don't really understand what you're trying to get across here? If you put a 32GB+ exFAT format in your SGN, it will tell you the card is corrupt and ask you to format it (which you should do and which you also mention in your update), which will change it to FAT32 format, so you lose the exFAT format.
Am I missing something here?

Today received sandisk 64 gb sdxc. It was formatted exFat out of the box. I copied all data from old ed to new one. All work fine except clockwork. Clockwork can't mount exFat. Installed rom: Ultimate N7000 xxls7 v4. Kernel: Phil's v3.5

Guys,
The inbuild storage space is less for me. I have a 16GB class 4 sd card which is also full and i need more space. I am planning to buy a 64 GB Class 10 microsd card. Will note support the 64GB class 10 microsd card?

The post above yours sais it does.

Well I just ordered a 64gb class 10 from amazon. Nice discount from $59 to $39. Will be testing as soon as I receive. You guys should take advantage of the deal too!!

Would be really helpful

I'm sorry but who needs 4+ gb files on their phone?
Just format your 64gb card using this tool! Regular windows fat32 format is capped at 32gb, but this tool will allow you to format the whole 64gb. This way you can have both 64gb storage and the card recognized by custome recovieries. Works great on my Note2 and S3.
