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...

hey people...posted this new thread because i want to know if any of you are in use with a 32gb micro sd card and wanna know how is the feel likes with the android builds...
i currently use kingston 8gb microsd card class 4...
thinking to upgrade to 32gb....
please give your opinions and suggstions!!
thanks...
EDIT:i just ordered a kingston 32gb micro sd class 2....
hope android build should run fine as my 8gb
You should be fine. I've been using a SanDisk 32GB MircoSDHC card for months now, without any problems at all.
Best to all,

If you buy a 32Gb card ensure that it is a good one and do not buy one from Ebay if it comes from China and only cost ~$15.00. That is total junk!!!

hahaha..yeah i saw cards like one you discribed...i already bought one it comes from hong kong and cost with shiping overall 60dollars!
its a kingston 32gb micro sdcard class 2..!!
i heard that sandisk cards is 3 times faster than kingstons... is that true?
When it comes, peel off the 32Gb sticker and you will find its a 2 or 4 Gb card. you can copy 32Gb onto it but it will be corrupted when you remove it from the pc...
Get your money back...
hey i dont think it could be that bad...if the item will be not the same as described on ebay i have the choice to return it back and get refund..!if the card will be 2gb or 4gb...!i have bought many things via ebay..also the 8 gb kingston class 4 i have all was fine and 100% as described...! anyway i hope this one will work fine

You can only wait until you get the card. I do hope that it works OK. However, just because mine did not turn out to be a good one, yours may. Good Luck. If it isn't, just get a refund from PayPal if you used them.
ok guys..thank you all very much..i ll post a reply when the card will arrive in my hands and let you inform if its fake or not
so see ya soon

hi,
just don't forget to provide us some "where to buy" links please...
Here is hoping you got a good card. I did some researching and I can't find any 32GB class 2 cards by kingston. Seems they are all class 4. Wishing you luck.
Komputerbay MicroSDHC 32 gig class 6
is what I have in mine. It's pretty nice. No Komplaints so far.

damn...i made a research also..and is the same..i didnt find any class 2..as you mentioned they are all class 4 and some class 6!i will cntact to the seller and find a solution..otherwise i will open a case to inform on ebay that the seller sell fake one sdcards..
Just as a bit of further info on the ones which I bought off ebay - they did tend to be reasonably good at refunding the £$ - I think they seem to go off the idea that it's a better business model to avoid negative feedback. A lot of buyers don't check these cards (and USB drives) properly and think it's all good and follow up with good feedback. Sometimes you might have to negotiate a decent refund though but stick to your guns and follow through with your dispute (item not as described/counterfeit) if required.
In any event, good luck.
Got a 32GB Micro SD card from Ebay from Hong Kong as well, a month or so ago. The card took almost a month to arrive. When i got it I tested the R/W speeds. They were awful. But, even so, i tried a consistency test. Of the 32GB of data copied, only 512 weren't corrupted. Basically, what the guy does is picks up faulty 512 MB MicroSD (faulty since they don't comply with Class 2 minimum requirements) and changes the Card information sector to inform the pc/device that it is 32GB when it really is 512. I confronted the buyer with this (had tons of positive reviews btw) and he said that he would refund me, and was sorry but it was an accident. I insisted he send me another card instead. A week later, i receive an email from ebay saying that this user had it's account compromised and that he seemed to be a known scammer. All great as you can see. Honestly, I will only buy again from Amazon or so...
Hopefully, the same won't happen to you. I felt so foolish... Particularly since I'm getting a PhD in Computer Science -_-'...

I don't believe there are any legitimate class 6 32gb cards available yet... I did a lot of research before buying mine and the best available so far from legitimate companys was class 4, so that what I went with. I got a class 4 32gb Kingston. And you're right, it doesn't look like Kingston released any class 2 versions, so make sure you thoroughly test your card. Its possible Kingston released class 2 cards for OEM purposes and never sold them retail, so they may be legitimate... but considering you bought it off eBay, I would have doubts its legitimate. Its best to buy flash memory from well known stores like newegg.

Also guys, before giving good feedback load the sd card with about 20Gb of data, remove the sd card then re-insert and see if the files are corrupt... I've found a few "32Gb sd cards" that will hold 32Gb of data and registers the files are still on the card BUT the info gets badly corrupted and disapears when you take out of the card reader.
Won't say ALL sellers are crooks on Ebay, but 99% definately are. Only advice would be to see if they have been a member for a long time, they don't seem to survive too long if they are crooks...
I have switched from a 16GB to a 32GB. Now I have a 16GB laying around that cannot be used for some dumb reason?
Can anyone tell me if you got your stock 16Gb card that came with the DVP to work?
And if so how did you get it to work when the card doesnt even appear to be readable in my computer?
PS: i already did my research, and I DONT HAVE A NOKIA.

2 things. First, I read here on xda of a program that will format the card on your PC. Don't recall the name. Second, a co worker of mine found a way to format the card at the command prompt. I will talk to him tomorrow and get those steps for you.
Similar question I have nokia 3711 but it doesnt seem to work. It keeps asking for a password.
im still trying to figure out how to get this working. anyone. all methods ive tried dont work. and trust me, ive done my research =D
I just got my second 32GB TF (first one stopped responding to touch, even after hard reset) and this one has dust under the screen and light bleed...(I was a naysayer..but the problems are REAL and not just some over exaggeration).
Anyway...I'm going to return the 32GB to BHPhoto...and managed to order a 16GB from Amazon today.
I still have some time to cancel and was debating...is the 16GB the right call? I've had the 32GB until now (since it was easier to get) and it was kind of nice knowing I had that space if I ever needed it...but do I NEED it? I realize the 16GB is expandable due to MicroSD, but onboard is always better.
How do you guys feel about the storage space?
I honestly think 16gb is a better choice as you're very unlikely to install so many apps to eat up that much space.. and you can the $100 ultra to get a decent 32gb micro sd card!
I do wish you would make up your mind with your 'stories', because over on another thread you had already bought a tab 10'1 in NY and there's no mention of also ordering another AT from Amazon.
I wish people would just piss-off and stop blatantly inventing ways to post BS stories on this forum about this freaking awesome device

That's not true.
If you ever want to move files from device to device all you have to do is pop out the card on one device and into another.
I would hate to wait for 16GB worth of data to be moved through USB.
The biggest files are media files so if you plan on keeping a lot of movies on your tablet at one time, then the bigger storage is probably best.
Though, the way we are headed, everything will be streamed/downloaded through cloud anyway.

Exactly my way of thinking as well. Go for the lower end and make it even BETTER than the higher ended one by getting a 32GB CLASS 6 MSD Card.

I personally bought the 16 GB because the 32 GB was sold out @ BB. I figured that I could always expand my memory via micro SD.
to me it doesn't make a ton of sense to add more onboard memory when expansion is possible, cheaper and more convenient
16GB unless you really have tons of music/movies that you want to carry with you all the time. I already have a 32gb iPhone4 so I have no reason to store my music on the tablet. 16GB more than enough.
I personally went for the 32. Unlike a phone, the microSD and SD cards are accessible. I plan to use those like floppy drives of today. It's much faster to copy media directly to the cards from a computer and stick them into the pad than to try to sync or copy them via the pad. At one point, I was thinking that I can just upgrade. However, there will always be some apps that cannot be moved to the microSD.
Also, Amazon currently has the 32 for $499 and 16 for $449. $50 difference for onboard 16 is a no brainer.
I just bought a 16gb with the same mentality as some of the previous replies. I went with the cheaper alternative knowing that I could easily upgrade the storage with a Micro SD card if I started running out of space.

Does not follow that it is better. 48 may be more then 32 but it is less then 64. You don't think that people that buy the 32 gb model are then going to say "Aw I don't need a 32 gb Micro SD card, I have more then enough internal already". No they are going to say "I wish they had 64gb Micro SD card I can put in this thing".

I see you've edited your post how errrrr predictable! but then i see you edit a lot of your posts
Given Google music, and rentable movies that either stream or delete themselves after you watch them, I think Steve Jobs is on the right track. I have WiFi 95% of the places I go. 100% of the time on work days. With the Google music beta I have no music ON my tablet, but access to my entire collection with a network connection. The 16gb tablet has room for several movies, but once netflix and android market movies are fully functional I don't see the point of even bothering to rip a DVD into a format that will play. My conclusion? 16gb saved me $50 or more over the 32gb version. That pays for netflix for 6 months or so.
Got the 16gb, and got a 32GB microsd at 90$ (patriot 32gb class 10) looks great
If you really (x10) need memory, go for the 32GB model, otherwise, the 16GB model will do just fine.

I edited it to include the link to what was referred to, to make it easier for you.
I even included the reason I edited it. If you look at the post I linked to...it was NOT edited.
Let's think about what you accused me of (starting a post about getting a tab 10.1). Was that me? No.
I decided to keep the 16gb from Amazon. External storage is all I need. Do any of the current folio cases have pockets to hold micro SD cards?
Problem with going low and using cards is it's a pain to maintain a desktop like atmosphere if I have some on board and some on a card and swap cards for something else and need access to what was on the other card. I have a mydocs folder under mysugarsync folder and sync it with my home computer. Considering a majority of my files are media/Office based, and mt TF replaced my laptop, I have a more complete setup without having to swap cards. I also had a bunch of gift cards and paid about $300 for the 32gb after returning the 16gb one so it wasn't a tough choice. I like card access, but swapping cards more often is not really my idea of efficient. Plus the slots are always open for use. Still wish the tablet had full size SD. Hate the trend towards micro on devices that have no justification for it. Considering the TF is wider than any other 10.1 with nothing else really under the hood in comparison, a full size SD should have been a no brainer.

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

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!
