Hello,
I first used a San Disk 32 gb card to use as the adoptable storage. It worked until it reached around 3 gb and then said it had no more storage available. I recently tried a Kingston 4 gb sd card that worked beautifully with no app problems, etc. However, I quickly ran out of storage. I purchased a PNY 32 gb card that worked for about the first week. Now, many of the apps say there is a problem and won't open. Also, when I try to switch an app to the sd card, it say's there is no space available, even though I have used less than 4 gb. Could it be the brand of SD Card? Should I buy and try a 16 gb card? I would really appreciate any help or guidance in getting my Nook Tab 7 to work properly with at least a 16 gb card. Thanks!

The quality and speed of the card will make a difference.
Myself I use SanDisk - just remember there are different levels.
Give this a try. Auto-formatting SDcard Link
I was pointed to, and have been testing / using it for about a month now on this device. There are some glitches, at least on this device. Some apps will just not work or will disappear. Others will revert back to true internal storage on update. Device or App related not sure.
It's trial and error on what needs to be internal and sudo internal. Migrating data to external helps but, still some apps require true internal storage.

I currently have a 2GB MicroSD card with a GPS program loaded on it. The card was provided to me by the manufacturer. I prefer not to constantly switch the card out to put in a 6GB one that holds music, movies, photos, etc...
I tried to simply copy the contents of the GPS card to my new 6GB one and when I start the program I get a hardwareID error.
I figure it has something to do with the volume serial number or possibly the mbr/disk signature, but not sure. Anyone know of any utilities that can assign the volume number? additionally anyone have any ideas of what the software could be checking against on the hardware?
I'm not in anyway trying to cheat on licensing, it is just purely an inconvenience.
micro sd
I think the max size is 4Gb
I have the 6GB card working fine on the tilt.
Of course anything past 2GB has to be formatted FAT32, so the 2GB is FAT, while the 6GB card is FAT32, but other than that, it works fine for storing music, documents, videos, etc, just not for my GPS program that seems to be locked to that particular 2GB microsd card.
That's the exact reason I won't buy any GPS prog from a vendor that locks it to a particular memory card.
Can a sd card be partitioned ?
If so set up a 2 gig fat 16 and a 4 gig fat 32!
I don't know if it can be done or if it will work.

I got 6GB and it works. A friend of my has a 8GB card and it works.
In theory the SDHC system can work till 32GB

With a little trickery they can be partitioned in XP/Vista using diskpart, etc., but they won't be visible to WM5/6 then.
Kinda useless if you want it to work with your Kaiser
It could be a bad flash card (either one). Try copying folders one at a time from the 2GB to the 6GB card, instead of all at once. Do the file transfer on a desktop PC, as WM6 might choke when doing large file transfers between FAT and FAT32 (not that its a known bug, but hey, its Windows...).
hey ya'll...
considering purchasing an 8gb memory card for my htc herald, have any of you tried this sucessfully??? the storage memory for the internal memory is not that great as you know and even things that you store in the memory card take up shortcut room in memory...what do you think?? are any of you running the phone on 4 GB memory stick? thanks ...
I have no problems running a cheap 8gb micro-sd from a no-name brand in my HTC P4350,
However, mine does feel a bit slower (yes its possible), since the upgrade from a 2gb card.
Ive been using a 8GB for about 6 months now and havent had ANYproblems with it. I actually had more problems with my old 1GB. It runs perfect!
i have the 8 gb card from amazon and i used it in my shadow and now my wing, its awesome, i keep all my phone supplies there and music, movies, vids, ebooks...keeps on going, lol its worth it, will be looking into the 16 gb soon just to be able to have an even bigger collection for on the go
I've got an 8gig Sandisk SDHC in my wing. No worries at all.
I've got an 8gig Sandisk SDHC in my HTC P4350. And it work´s nice with movies and music.
i've been using a 8gb card from kingston, don't pack it too full or else your phone will lag, i use it for mostly music and i find that when i fill it up all the way it gets a little corrupted
looking @ buy.com for the 16gb cards, 40 bucks...just needs to drop a little moer....
i got a sandisk 8gb loaded with movies, mp3s, ebooks basically everything and it runs smooth
yep..8gb is fine. slower than my 4gb, but not too bad

ok..sorry for disturbing the hype, but I need to post this:
I upgraded from 1 to 2 GB and now to 8gb..since then I encoutered issues:
First I copy and pasted everything from my 2gb card onto my 8gb SDHC class 2 card and everything run smoothly..but after some days I realised that all my pivtures I took were gone..than I saw that all folder were weired named--re-named...BUT it changed again and besides that the pixx were gone, all run ok again..
but now..since Yesterday..it is the same..folders re-named..pixx gone and my display says please insert storage-card, but it is included AND I can see the content via file explorer or active sync...its the same with the 2gb card..displays shows the "please insert screen" but I can access via onboard file explorer (fyi all folders are ok..not renamed on the 2gb card)
My idea is, that my simply copy and paste from 2gb to 8gb card was not the proper way to do it..or??
Can someone suggest how to manage this? I have no card reader and I havent found a way to format the 8gb card..to do the copy paste or whatever again..
Any ideas are appreciated!
I have 8, 8gb cards filled and use everyone of them and no problem at all
Did you try right-clicking on the storage card and re-formating it to deault thats what i had to do when i had that problem and havent had a problem since if that doesnt work then you will need to find a cheap usb card reader online....... and if that doesnt help let me know and i might have another solution to help you re-format it
hey phaze, right click within active sync does not allow "format" ..so i tought as well of the card reader thing..or where could I be able to use right click-format option?
do sdhc is correct to use for htc 4350? I hear dform mycard supplier that only sd is usable? so is that my mistake?
After upgrading to a 16gb external I was unhappy to find that most games and applications won't install on it, and yes I tried using apps2sd, to find after a few reboots the icons were dim (not valid) and the game data somehow disappeared. A 500mb game now turned into 32kb when uninstalling. This has happened to not only one game but many. Including Asphalt 6 and Nova. So what options do we have when installing large size games such as modern combat? Use the inbuilt 16gb? Mines already full.

Try a root app called force2sd found on the android market. Works on ALL apps
Is the sd card even legit? Also check for errors and completely reformat it.

Maybe something is wrong with your SD card. Mine Lexar 32GB Class 10 works fine.
Well, it could be worse...
In my case i had an old 2 Gb Samsung class 2 in my SGS2, and all apps installed on the INTERNAL SD (no room on the external, as i had filled it up with mp3's).
Then i bought a new Kingston 16 Gb class 4, and changed the 2 cards, and expected no problems - with the thought on that no apps were installed on the external SD - but... half of my apps were greyed out, and didn't work afterwards. To make things worse, i tryed to install the apps again form the market, only to find that it didn't repair the old apps, but installed new apps besides the broken apps. And i had difficulties deleting the old apps.
I changed the card some times on my old HTC, with no problems - but on this phone i will never do it again - i had a LOT of apps on my phone, and some of them bought outside the market, so i had to pay for some new downloads on that account.
Thank god that all my Gameloft games were not destroyed - even that they were installed in the internal SD.
Maybe i was just lucky on my old HTC, but this made me somewhat unsecure on the SGS2, and as written above - i will NOT change the card again.
Maybe someone can explain how the internal and the external SD-memory works together, in conjunction to my and fluidz problems with the external SD-card. It somehow seems that the external SD is connected with the internal SD, so that some apps depends on both to be installed - even if the apps is not moved to the external SD... ????
On my old Aspire one netbook, an external SD-card would be added to the internal SD-card that worked as an harddisk. So that the internal AND external SD worked as one harddisk all together. That gave the result, that if you unmounted the SD-card, the netbook was somewhat missing files, that was moved back and forth on the external SD (eg. it would mess it up, if you changed something or installed new programs, AND unmount the external SD afterwards). Is it the same on the SGS2????
Hi, when I long press the home button and choose Task manager->Storage, I see System storage (out of 1.97GB), USB storage (out of 11.07GB) and SD card (out of 14.83GB). The SD card is probably my sandisk 16GB sd card. What about USB storage? I suppose the System storage is the internal memory. Also, from an end user point of view, is the new SanDisk Extreme Pro as fast as the internal memory? Is it worth to buy it? Thanks.
The phone is manufactured with 16 GB of flash on it.
2 GB for the ROM
2 GB for apps
The rest (11.07 GB) as general storage
Then it has a MicroSD slot where you can add more storage.
The speed of the internal storage should be good, but I don't know how it is compared to a Sandisk extreme pro card.
I asked SanDisk. They said that they do not know if the Extreme Pro is compatible with the Galaxy Note. They told me to ask Samsung. Of course, Samsung is going to point back to SanDisk.
I have some questions to pose regarding the Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 microSDXC.
I bought it about a month ago, and when i first put it into my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, it didn't read anywhere near 64GB. Hence, i formatted the new microSD with Samsung's format option, and it showed 59.48GB. Worked perfectly from there.
However, i find the default file system of the microSD card really slow in transferring files when i connect my phone to the PC via USB, with the microSD mounted on my phone. I have a Kingston microSD reader, so i used it to connect my microSD to the PC, and tried to wipe and format it to FAT32. After doing so, the storage size became like 27GB. Is there a way to make my microSD running FAT32 system and get it to work on both my PC and phone without any problems with the size?
Anyway, i formatted the microSD again with Samsung's format option, and it went back to normal 59.48GB. However, i used my microSD reader to connect it to the PC, and it couldn't read the microSD card. It prompts me to format it. Is it because my microSD reader does not work with microSDHX cards? Or is it because my Windows PC cannot read the microSD's file system?
Hope someone has an answer, thanks.
P.S I posted this as a reply to an old thread, but realised it was in the Galaxy S3 forum, so i figured i'll post it here.
So you could use the memory card in your card reader after formatting the card as FAT32?
What OS are you running on your PC? If it's Windows XP, support for exFAT needs to be added. You can find more on this here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955704

use a program such as H2testw to see if your microsd card is fake or defective . You can get it from here or google it .

I found the solution. The Kingston USB reader that i used is actually not compatible with my Sandisk MicroSDXC. That's the reason it couldn't read my microSD when i connected it to the PC. I used the SD card adapter that came with the microSD on a newer laptop which has the port, and it read my card perfectly.
Anyway, i ended up putting my microSD back to my phone and formatting it using the Samsung option. Then, i used a program to format the microSD to FAT32, which i don't think is actually necessary as there wasn't any reading/writing speed difference when it came to transferring files.
Cheers.
Micro SDHC 64GB 10 Series
I wonder if someone can help me.
I purchased a Micro SDHC 64GB 10 Series memory card on Ebay - Brand new.
When I opened the packaging, the card first asked me to format the card fr use. At first, The SDHC card worked fine.
But now when I attempt to use it via laptop, The SDHC card doesn't show up on "My Computer"
It's like the card isn't reading at all..
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I've been playing with Windows since Android's grandfather was a tadpole, so in a combination of research and personal expertise I present the following advice...
DO NOT install a SD of a Class other than what is listed in our phone's Hardware Compatibility List - they being a Class 10 MicroSD, MicroSDHC and MicroSDXC - beyond that of 32GB, as you're only looking for trouble. Sometimes bigger is not necessarily better - just ask the people who knew the man that ate himself to death. NAND technologies are getting better by the day, but unfortunately devices grow increasingly incompatible with newer variants of MicroSD's simply because of the changes made within the firmware of the NAND controller. By changing Class outside of the scope of our phone's capability, problems can arise. Kind of like having a PC and trying to use a SATA-M drive on it. Unless you've got the physical hardware and device drivers installed, you can't expect it to work properly, same as throwing a SATA3 drive on a SATA2 port and expecting it to transfer data at over 3Gbps. If you find you are so desperate that you just can't do without having a 64GB card installed, go to eBay and grab yourself a Genuine Samsung 64GB 'Evo' Class 10 MicroSDXC. They are the fastest and highest capacity MicroSD our device will be friendly with (due to NAND controller compatibility) and at the moment they're going for good prices. Once you get it, Format the thing on your phone first, according to Samsung's instructions for installing the card. You'll then have a bit less than 60GB of storage space, along with Samsung backup if something does go wrong, simply because you're running a Samsung card in a Samsung phone. Trust me, its a great combination, proven by the fact my Samsung laptop runs like a dream on the Samsung 840Pro series SSD it has in it's belly...
