Hello,
Would the new 128GB MicroSD work on the S3 or would there need to be a software mod or will it not work at all due to hardware limitations?
not sure if the link will post but its available on amazon for $119...
The gs3 microsd slot only works with a max of 64 gb. U shld have known when u looked at the specs. At least tat is wat Samsung said.

Although I can't guarantee it I would guess it works. My HTC Desire spec said that it only supported up to 32GB but I used a 64GB card fine in it. When it was released 32GB was the largest card available. Same with the S3 in that the 64GB card was the largest at the time.
Theorically could work, as sometimes the limitation is more of the format of the card. For example, I use a 64 GB card in my s3 without problem, and, in other devices, I have read about the format of the card to change this.
For example, the nintendo 3DS can use an SD card of maximum 32 GB, but if you have an sd of 64 GB, but format it as fat 32, you are able to use it.
The only problem is that you'll need a specific tool, if you are using windows, to format cards large than 32GB to use Fat32
It might work. I've seen cheap chinese phones support 32gb so I hope a 128gb should be no problem for the S3. But for $119, it's better (and cheaper) not to risk it.

Nice. You just need to format it to fat32

I am, and always have used my 8gb msdhc
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
I also use 8GB Micro SD HC
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital stated that anything above 4gb is microsdhc. "hc" stands for high capacity. ace supports upto 32gb. so, its just plain obvious
I am using a 16gb class 10 PNY card. Read speed in excess of 20Mbs write speed 9Mbs.
Suggest you buy a class 10 and also from a branded manufacturer. I read a review of some of the cards on ebay and people complaining of low r/w speeds on unbranded cards which is the reason u should by a branded card.

Do it work?
Galaxy S II phones say they only accept up to 32gb microSD cards and yet they happily accept 64gb cards. Was wondering if the tab 7.7 does as well?
Yes i have 2 sandisk 64gb class 6 micro sd cards,1 in my gs2 the other in my tab for 2 weeks now works perfectly.
Get it on sale here hurry:
http://www.adorama.com/IDSMUMSD64G.h...ce=rflaid62905
Yes it does
I can confirm both wifi and 3g can take the 64gb micro sd.
Yep, confirmed again here. I swap between 2 SanDisk 64GB microSD cards for my data and haven't had any issues.
Confirming the Verizon version i815 can accept Sandisk 64GB microSDXC.
I would get one for my 7.7 if that one mod that let's you swap the external and internal sdcard works with it. Has anyone tried it? With all the new high resolutions games and mapping data from offline navigation app, i'm running out of internal sdcard memory.
FYI, on an ICS rom (Skyfire) I was only able to get the Gtab to recognize my 64gb microsd card when formatted as FAT32. ExFat and NTFS were not recognized.
FWIW I've learned the hard way (3 dead 64gb cards) that they DO work but are 'fragile'. Just format fat32 using EaseUS (free) and you're good to go. The fragile part is that they seem to get corrupted at the slightest provication. Seems like any power interuption, no proper unmount or ejection, any early data flow termimation, whatever, will do it. Just be **very** careful in use and should be ok.

I am interested in buying one soon. But I am deciding between the 16 or 32 gb option depending if the apps can be installed into the SD card.
Cheers
Using the DoCoMo SO-03E (Japanese 32GB LTE), but I don't see the option for 'Move to SD card' in the Apps settings menu, unfortunately. I would assume that currently means that apps cannot be installed to the SD card.
Samsung did add the feature to the Galaxy S4 in an update, so I reckon Sony can also patch the option in later on.
You may want to also note however that it appears only 32GB models support exFAT and 64GB MicroSD cards. From what I've read around and understood, 16GB models only support FAT32 (4GB file limitation) and 32GB MicroSD cards. Hope that helps in your decision.

I have the US 16GB wifi version. It DOES support exFAT and 64GB microsd cards. I have one in my XTZ.
I can't remember exactly which model numbers were exempt from 64GB/exFAT support... probably the 32GB WiFi models then?

Well in al threads that i read about this, the problem was the one you are using the with LTE, but looks like it was fixed for you.
Can't an app like 'app 2 SD' move apps to sd card when there isn't any native support?
Note that there is around 11 GB of free space on a 16GB device. For mee 11GB is more then sufficient for all the apps etc. I could ever want to install.
If so, any recommendations?
Or if only a 32 gig will work, what do you guys use brand wise, class, etc?
Just want to make sure I get one that works well with the device.
It doea work with 64. I swap my card between the Tablet Z and my ZL all the time. You may need to format in the tablet. Then you can even read\write on a laptop.

If I'm not wrong (I always forget), the 32 GB Wifi model does not support 64GB MicroSDXC, only the 16GB models do. They also do not support exFAT (FAT64), only FAT32 and thus are limited to 4GB files. They only support a maximum of MicroSDHC 32GB, but support may be added in future patches - I believe similar functionality was patched to one of the XPERIA smartphones.
Currently only 16GB models support 64GB MicroSDXC and exFAT.
The sole exception is the Japanese SO-03E 32GB celluar model, which supports 64GB MicroSDXC and exFAT - it read my SanDisk Mobile Ultra (30MB/s) 64GB XC card flawlessly.

This is incorrect. I have the SGP312 and a Samsung 64GB MicroSDXC (and exFAT) work just fine in it.
The 16GB GSM/HSPA+/LTE Versions only support 32GB and no exFAT.

I second this information.
If you have a SGP311 or SGP312, you're good to go with the fastest 64GB MicroSD you can buy.
Taken from Sony Mobile:
[2] - SO-03E, SGP311, SGP312: SDXC up to 64GB
- SGP321 SGP351 SGP341: Up to 32GB

I found this information on many posts but tell me one thing: i have SGP321 and in the first day it worked correctly with Samsung SDXC 64GB (movies, pictures etc). After formatting micro SD card, tab doesn't see the card anymore. I made factory reset to tablet but it didn't help.
I still don't know how it happened, that tab worked with SDXC...
EDIT: after full formatting the card with exFAT (3-4h waiting), tab works correctly with SDXC

That's correct, exFAT is the format you need to use for the SD to be appropriately detected. I'm glad it went well for you.
actually, tab doesn't want to cooperate with SDXC 64GB from samsung... it sees the card but doesn't see content of it. ES Explorer also sees directories on micro SDXC but no files. Well... i have to buy new one, but 32GB
64gb working
My sandisk class 10 64gb worked straight out of the box with my sony xperia tablet z 32gig wifi spg312 if that helps

wrong, sgp321 works with 64gb xtreme pro and exfat format without any issue... :good::good::good::good:
Maybe. Anyway my SGP321 doesn't work with samsung micro SDXC. IT worked once, on the beginning. Even sony says on webpage that xperia z supports 64gb bit in chosen models.
EDIT: after benchmark the card - ATTO disk benchmark and Crystal Disk informed me, that the card is class 4 - it's fake, not original Samsung, that's the solution of my problems... I wrote to seller complete information about my discoveries, he agreed to receive card back without any opposites. Damn it...
Just want to confirm that my 64 GB micro sd card works fine with exfat:
Type: SanDisk 64GB Class 10 Ultra Micro SDXC Memory Card (Silver/red)
on XTZ SGP312 (32GB-WIFI) / Android version 4.3
I'm on stock 3.22...
Just bought new 64gb micro SD but facing few problems.
Transferred all my data from old 32gb to new 64gb..
1. Images and videos get automatically deleted... 2. If I take pictures on new 64gb memory card, they get corrupted suddenly.. Old remains as it is.
Tested the same memory card with other phones and works perfectly...
Tried multiple 64gb cards but problem remains same..
Any help would be appreciated..

Well i have a 64GB card on my Max since i bought it going from 1.64 to 3.22 and to paoloscm12 and it works percfectly in all of them. You have to make sure your 64GB card is of good branding like Sandisk, Samsung.. etc and not some weird **** you bought on aliexpress. If thats all good, you should try formating your card to exfat if its in some other format, or , if that doesnt work, you can try formating it to fat32 which theoretically cant be done but worked when i had it in my samsung galaxy s2 which didnt support more than 32gb expansion cards.
Same as what pilililo2 said here...
