What size micro sd card - Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories

I have a Samsung GT-P3110 8gig tablet.
The tablet has 8 gig internal memory and the max is quoted at 32gig.
Can I put a 32 gig micro SD card in?

I think you answered your own question there.

You can put a microSd up to 64GB. I suggest you to put a SanDisk microsdhc ultra. They are the best sd cards. Press Thanks if I helped you

64GB flash cards use a different formatting (exFat) which is supported only by a few phones only when using stock ROM, you may be able to find a custom ROM for your phone that does support exFat*
otherwise 32GB will indeed be the maximum usable for your phone*
Normally 32 gb one could be fat32 ( this format has a limit of 32 gb only )
Press thanks if I helped.

You can use blackhawk custom kernel that will support natively exfat

I bought a sandisk ultra 32gb "red & grey in colour" yesterday and i've had to take it out my tab 2.
My tab didnt want to read it.
When I opened up "my files" there was a icon for "Ext Sd" but when It opened there was nothing.
I put the card in my S3 mini "gt-i8190n" and it works great. I done a factory reset on my tab before trying to use card.
Dont know whats going wrong there .

Works perfectly on my tab 2 P3113 (stock 4.1.1 (edited) rooted). And reads all files

Not just size but what about R/W speed??
using the GT 2- 7 inch - with cm 10.2 nightly build - with a 32 class 10 external micro sd card with Link2SD and folder mount- so that all apps are installed and run from the external storage. Works great! So I thought of changing out the 32GB for a 64GB. I know or think I know that I should opt for a class 10 device but what about read and write speeds - I would think this answer would depend on the tabs abilities as far as maximum rates go. I cant find anything that post the rates at which the tab can transfer data to the external microsd and was wondering if a microsd card could even outperform the tab as far as R/W. In other words the tab can fulfill any max R/W rates so go for the best!
Thanks

Hi, as far as i know the p3110 is hardware limited to 32 GB microsd. So 64Gb won't work properly. As speeds go, i can't really tell. My class 10 reads and writes at maximum speed ( bit lower than indicated, but same speed in other devices).

Ive been running the Offical stock rom (not Rooted), using a 64gb scandisk SD card for a while now (almost a year). All i had to do was get the right format (Fat 32). I formatted the card in my PC using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition on my PC.

The Tab2 is not 'hardware' limited to 32gb. It has to do with what formats your kernel supports. If you have a recent kernel with exfat support you are set.

I have had 4 or 5 different micro sd cards in my tab 2 , From class 6 to Ultra, they all work fine if formatted correctly. I would suggest not using that auction site, there a lot of fake cards there. These tiny little cards don't have the best durability record. Of the 6-7 I have had, a couple have gone bad before a year, but some are used heavily and still work after a year. The price for the 64gb cards is still too high for me. I usually have 15 to 20 movies on my 32gb card.:good:

I have 32 gig micro sd on my tab, without problem!

Hello Guys
Had my Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7 (p3110) for over a year now running stock unrooted. One of the first things i did when i got it was grab myself a Sandisk Ultra 64gig SD card. Had to reformat the SD card before it would work. From memory i used a tool on my PC called mini partition tool to reformat it. Been working like a charm ever since.

Just dont forget to get a high class SD card such as class 4 if you will be reading from the extSDcard alot! it would be really helpfull,or if you will use it to boost RAM and such

For best results use a class 10 32 GB SD card and haven't tried it yet but it more might support 64 GB too to prevent slowdowns a class 10 one is the best

64gb SDXC
Hi. I ordered a 64gb sandisk ultra plus microSDXC card. I just want to know what I will have to do to make it compatible with my Tab 2 rooted on GB27 4.2.2. I couldn't get the SDHC as the site was sold out, so I ordered the SDXC. Am I going to have to format it through my PC? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Does G1 support micro SDHC 8Gb?

Hello,
Do you know whether HTC G1/Dream could support an micro SDHC card of 8GB?
According with HTC support team the G1 supports micro SDHC of 2 or 4 GB, the say it could support 8 GB too, but I have to test it first before. So I would like to know whether someone of you have tried this card.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, HTC G1/Dream supports 8Gb microSD cards. Recently i`ve bought one, and it is working in my device - so buy it without fear))
The only thing to pay attention to is a microSD class - the more the better. These are 2 class, 4 class, 6 and so one. As for me, i have a 6 class Kingston microSD.
yes but only up to 8gb and nothing higher

Aren't speed classes for the microsd cards themselves and have nothing to do with the device loading them? Or are you asking up to what class will the s3 support?

You might want to go for the fastest class you can afford. This way, when you plug in the sd card in your computer you will be able to load it up quickly.
I really don't like waiting to finish a 30gb dump of data due to a slow sd card.

32GB or 64GB

I keep reading about i717 users installing 64GB memory cards into their phones i thought that the i717 would only support a 32GB card...someone please give me some definite info
i717 UCLF6+FJmod B4
64gb cards work fine from GB on up. In theory it would support even larger cards but a 129gb card would be too expensive for me when they first come out.
I installed a sandisk class 6 64gb card in my Note. It works flawlessly. Got it off Amazon Prime for $55 with free 2day shipping. This is what I did:
moved contents of 32gb card to desktop computer's hd
powered off
removed battery
removed 32gb card
inserted 64gb card
replaced battery
powered on
let the card format itself
moved contents of 32gb card from computer to new 64gb card
enjoy new roomier storage capacity
+1 I use the SanDisk 64GB card as well. No issues. I also formatted in the phone.
I also use a 64gb card with no problem.
What do you need a 64 for?
That is a **** load of memory for a phone haha. I mean I understand, I am trying to fill up my 32, I have like 7 left. I would have had less if my songs had not gotten all erased. But, I did have alot of adult stuff cause my ex loved watching that stuff on my phone haha, plus I loved to show it to my home girls, turned them hot like a kettle over an open flame But yes it works just gotta format it, checkout videos on youtube on how to do it if you have any trouble. Good luck brotha!
I had a lot of trouble with my 64 GB Sandisk. The phone (at the time a Flapjaxx ICS ROM) didn't like the exfat formatting it came with, but it also wasn't able to format it itself. I eventually formatted it as fat32 with a large enough block size and the phone is now happy with it.

64GB SanDisk not working on Note 2

I was using a 32GB Lexar Class 10 card on a GS3. When I got the Note 2, I put the 32GB card in it and was working fine.
Last week I got a 64GB SanDisk UHS-1 card from Amazon ($38 sale). I used it in the GS3 for a few days and was OK. But when I try to use it in the Note 2, there are issues. Most of my files show as 0 byte in Astro or Root Explorer, and I can't copy/paste files or save camera images to the 64GB card.
But once I put the 64GB card back in the GS3, it works just fine.
One thing I did (before placing any files on the 64GB card) was to format it as FAT32 so that CWM would be able to access it. I'm not sure if having the 64GB card as FAT32 is causing the problem with the Note 2, or if it must be in exFAT to work right with the Note 2.
probaly needs to be reformatted on the note 2 for it to be recognized. So backup all files on it to pc and try again.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I'm using the same card without any issues. Def try some formatting options.
I was hoping there was a simple fix, or just a permission issue, but I could reformatt it on the Note 2 if that's what it takes.

hmm i popped mine out of my gs3 and slid it right into the gn2 with no issues...formatted to fat32 aswell.
I ended up reformatting the 64GB card in the Note 2 and check it on the PC, which showed it as exFAT. Then copied my data from the 32GB card to the 64GB card, and it then worked OK in the Note 2. I'm not sure if it was because I first had it formatted at FAT32, and that caused the problem with the Note 2, or if it could have been something else.
But a quick Google search shows a lot of people have had issues with 32GB and 64GB cards on the SGS3/Note2. Some are issues with recognition, read/write issues, files corrupting or disappearing.

like i said mine worked flawless swapping from s3 to gn2 and its formatted to fat32...but yes i agree it seems to be hit or miss.
I "cloned" my 16GB Sandisk card (from my OG Droid) to my new 64GB Sandisk Ultra via a program called HDD Raw Copy from HDD Guru and then I used a program minitool partition wizard to resize the resulting 16GB partition on the card back up to the full size of the card. It is a FAT32 format.
Both of these tools are free.
I am not having any issues as of yet.
I haven't had any issues with my card, just placed it the phone and it was recognized. Do we need to format the card first, or is that only if you are having issues
I am using a SanDisk 64GB microSDHC card, formatted mine in Fat32 when I got it and no issues.

Use a memory card reader in your PC, open a command prompt and do a CHKDSK X: /F
where X is the drive letter of the memory card.

Otherwise you'd have to use a microSD to standard SD converter, and place that in a standard sized SD card reader.

Best class/size/brand SD Card?

I'm using a 16gb card now but I want to upgrade to a higher capacity. I don't really know the difference between Class 4/6/10 or the different types out there. Also, does the S4 actually support 64gb and had anyone got it to work?
Thanks ahead of time.

The 64 gig works fine once you are booted into Android.
There is a huge difference in classes of cards. I wouldn't buy less than a class 10. I would suggest a class 10 "pro" that has read speeds up to 70gb/sec. I had a class 10 sandisk that was 64 gb in my phone. I just learned that my backup clockwork recovery will not access a card over 32 gb. I just bought a 32gb samsung class 10 pro card from Amazon. It was nearly $50 but the speed tests on it are much better than the old class 10 sandisk. If you plan to root and use custom recoveries and ROMS, I would definitely suggest a good 32gb card. Hope this helps.

if you're planning to go 64GB, it comes out of the package exFAT. Some ROMs and custom recovery does not read exFAT and needs to be formatted to FAT32. As mention, get class10 due to transfer speeds.
Samsung 64gb Class 10 Pro
Old thread but just an fyi...
I bought the Samsung 64gb Class 10 Pro and it did come formatted exFAT.
Just to see what worked and didn't work, I left it like that and copied all of my music, data, videos, etc. and put it in the phone and everything worked great with one exception. CWM recovery doesn't read it, I was bummed because I am a die hard CMW user.
I went ahead and installed TWRP and it reads the card fine, I have made a complete backup and then a restore and all worked well.
Guess I will get used to TWRP
Hmmm so Samsung Pro card over Sandisk?

I thought it was custom kernels that had the problem with exFAT due to licensing (and not open source). Not meant to exclude CWM as I understand there is an issue there as well.
Just format the card fat32
Here is a good explanation of the differences between the different formats.
