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 think I read that the max card size for HD2 is 16Gb but can't find it (in the manual or searching here). What's the biggest card users are using so far? And an views on make / speed etc? I'm not running apps from the card yet but may do in the future.
Thanks for any info in advance.
I've got a 16gb SDHC Class 2 card in mine at the moment and am happily running apps, games, movies and music from it without any problems. Also used an 8gb SDHC class 4 card without any problems too.
Think I read somewhere that 32gb cards will work with the HD2 but can't remember where. Are 32gb cards out yet?
The biggest card it'll take is 32Gb, but I haven't seen anyone selling those yet.
Not sure how much of a difference the speed of the card makes - I've heard people say it does matter, and others saying it doesn't matter when dealing with a phone, cos the phone could only communicate at a certain speed with the card anyway (as opposed to a computer with a direct USB bus access). I'm not sure if anyone's tested it conclusively.
Moby memory takes preorders on 32Gb
Thanks for the input folks. A 16 for me then...

Class number indicates how fast the read and write is. The larger the number the better.
SDHC is your standard micro sd card up to 32gb. While the SDXC can go up to 2 TB i think? Its format will also be exFat meaning it can read/store single file greater then 4gb. Not sure if SDXC exFat format is supported for S4? since S4 can read up to 64gb i assume it can read the 64gb class 10 SDXC cards. if not then you can convert it to FAT32 but it wont read a file which is greater than 4gb

Yes... unless that type is not supported by S4, i havent researched the S4 side yet. Currently im using a SDXC Class 10 64gb exFat format on my Nokia 808.
I think the packaging has the Green android robot guy with a label of Supports Android or something. I threw away my packaging but im using a Sandisk Ultra if that helps.
I cant vouch for S4 personally since i havent tried inserting it yet. Hope someone here has tried.
Thanks
Is there anyone that know for sure what is the best memory card for the s4 I9500?
I got a samsung 64gb pro class 10 sdxc. Works perfectly in my s4. Formatted the card within the phone and am able to transfer files larger than 4gb in it, so am assuming the phone formatted it to exfat.
Yea it's an option but I think I will take the 32gb, but for the 32gb I didn't find the xc model.
How is sdhc hc-1? Will it work or is there a better one that will work?

S4 supports 64gb? Thought it was only 32? Or was that the s3....

As of now i dont think you can move apps to the sd card. Only music, videos, images and other nonapp essential files can be stored in the sd card. Maybe after rooting?

actually, you can move the apps into the sd. Samsung made the change after the numerous complains about lack of space

From my understanding, the Galaxy S4 will only read up to 64gb. anything higher, phone won't read it. Also, some say to be careful with the Sandisk cards as they could be difficult to work with on the S4. I have a Samsung 32gb card and it works flawessly.
Sup people,
I brought a san disk 64gb micro sdxc card.. It seems to keep unmounting and mounting my card... On top of that it keeps rebooting my phone every 20seconds.. I try to unmount the card it simply reboots my phone.. Is there any solution for this?
Help will be appreciated
Thanks

A lot of Sandisk 32 and 64Gb cards have issues with both S3's and S4's.
Apparently those manufactured after 12/2012 no longer have this issue, but theres no way to tell their manufacture date.
Try and get it exchanged where you bought it.
I use and recommend Samsung cards, and have never had any problems with them.
Yes, they cost a little more, but the stuff I keep on them is irreplaceable, and I couldnt afford to lose 1 days work.
Also I recommend installing SD card monitor from Play.

It will tell you how many times your card has unmounted erroneously.
Cheers and dont forget to hit the thanks button

Thanks for the help mate
So I just purchased a 64GB MicroSDXC card and put it in my Galaxy S4. It read the card perfectly as a 64GB card out of the box at first. However, I formatted the card through the phone and then it said it was only 32GB. I've tried reformatting again and again on my phone, Windows 7 PC, and Macbook Pro. However, I can't get it to register as a 64GB card again. I've read various posts on this forum and tried all the different formatting utilities, but am still struggling. I'm almost to the point where I'm just going to say that 32GB is enough and deal with not having the full 64GB. Any help would be appreciated. Any idea why this is?

Download this FAT32 Formatter and remove the 64GB card from your phone.
Plug the 64GB sdcard into your computer with an adapter or card reader: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/FAT32format-Download-79375.html
Then format the 64GB card and put it back in your phone and the 64GB sdcard will work fine
and will have approximately 60gb free space on it.
Do NOT format the card using your phone.
If it still shows 32GB after doing the above, you need to return the card and exchange it for one which works properly
Good luck!
I tried that and it's still showing up as 32GB. When I first put it in the phone, it shows some up as 59GB, which means it was detecting the whole card. I've tried formatting as FAT32 and exFAT in both my Mac and Pc. I also browsed forums for awhile and still can't get an answer.

Then the sdcard is defective, hopefully you can still return it and either exchange it or get a refund.
Good luck!
So the card ended up being a fake. I purchased it on eBay and paid a little bit more money for one that said Kingston OEM, but that's not what I received. I contacted the seller and have not heard anything yet, so I made a case with eBay to help take care of it. Long story short, am I better off just buying one in the store or can I get a pretty legitimate, working 64GB microSDXC card for my GS4 online for less than $50?
You should go on to amazon? They have SD cards on there for good prices and reputable Sellers

Here is the Amazon.com link for a Sandisk Ultra Class 10 64GB MicroSD card for $49.34 and
it's free shipping and usually amazon does not charge any tax.
