I have a 32gb card from my inspire I would like to use, all my music and some videos. It also has my titanium backups. Can I safely put this card in without messing something up?
It should. Don't see why it wouldn't work. Lol
Don't know about the titanium backup apps. But music and vidoes should be fine

The Titanium Backup(s) should work fine...but it does depend on each individual app and if it is compatible with your new SGSII. In general, Titanium Backup works on the SGSII. I wouldn't recommend "restoring" system apps from your Inspire, however. That may cause issues.
I seem to remember seeing a video of a 64gb SD card being properly read and used on a GSII.

And I have read that the SGS2 "officially" supports SD cards up to 32GB...so it sounds as though the OP would be OK with the 32GB card. Frankly I'm surprised such an advanced phone doesn't support cards even bigger than 32GB.

I can assure you the 32 gig cards work. Im using a 32gig class 4 sandisk as we speak. No problems what so ever.

Does anyone sell a micro SD card that's bigger than 32gb? I'm fairly sure the vid I saw said that the 64gb used wasn't available to the public yet.

Actually, as soon as you put the card in your phone, a message pops up stating "All Your Base Are Belong To Us - HTC".
Only joking, you won't have any issues whatsoever whether it be the phone recognizing the card or your titanium backups. Obviously, you already know about having the phone detect the location of your backups. That would be the only thing to take into account. As someone stated earlier, make sure you don't restore any system apps because that can cause issues. Also, you don't want to replace any apps that are on the phone with your backups because that can cause issues as well.
All in all, you should be safe for whatever you are trying to do.
Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of Galaxy S.
I just moved my Micro SD card from my Inspire to my Galaxy. The card already had backups, titanium backups, apps, music, etc. All read on the S2 with no issues what so ever. I had it loaded to nearly 25 gigs and it took a matter of seconds for my phone to scan it.
My coworker is stock rooted gingerbread with a 32GB sd card (with 25gb still available for use). He's been that way for about 2 months now, and uses stock camera and gallery.
For some reason now, his pics aren't saving. I just tried myself with his phone, and the pic was saved to ext_sd/dcim/... I saw it in the folder using root explorer. Within 5 min, the pic was replaced with the triangle error sign.
Any thoughts?

few things to try...
clear gallery data
change save location to int sd
format ext sd
ive gotten those on rare occasions, but couldnt pinpoint it down to anything in particular

Possible bad sd card. If its from ebay, it may be a fake 32 gb. Test the card with H2testw.

My thoughts exactly! I hate eBay, and that is where he got it (for cheap... Go figure ). I didn't know there were cards that read 32 but were only 8. It makes sense since he has used 6gb of space (and we all know 8gb isn't really 8gb)
Thanks

Hey guys I took my sdcard out of the phone formatted it and when I put it back in the phone it now wont detect the sdcard and also it wont detect internal storage also...
EDIT: or nvm I rebooted it a couple times but now it detects the phone storage but when I put in my 16gb micro sd it does nothing until I remove it. When I remove it, it shows that it has been removed, but before that it doesn't show a sdcard is inserted... Yet when I put an 8gb one it it shows that it's in the phone...
Well we just discovered that our phones say there is no external storage at all. From best buy.

I concur with this statement.
I too have a 64 gig card and I formatted it in the phone. The phone sees it as 59+gigs which is cool. But what I am trying to figure out is how to save or move apps to the actual sd card. Not phone storage that is the 9+ gigs, but the actual 64 gig card.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think there is a way to do this right now with out changing the mount points

The thing is that the phone doesn't even detect that i've inserted the card. When I insert the 8gb card it shows preparing the sd card and it gives me all the options to unmount/format/everything else. When I put the 16gb one in everything is still grayed out and it doesn't even think i've inserted a micro sd card.

So how hard is it to do that and/or how soon before you think it could happen? It seems though HTC could maybe do something or is just the way Android is. It just seems that it should just be a part of it. LOL. I mean I already have some music on the sd card by creating the folder...I just don't want to run out of space on my phone.
Ok, i'm going to bestbuy in a little bit to pick up a 32gb micro sd and see if it'll work with that...

Is there any way to upgrade the internal 16GB storage to a 32GB? I'm not referring to the external MicroSD card.
It might be possible i think samsung use SD cards as their internal storage.

So is that basically a no, without serious mods to the phone?
Dude the internal flash memory is what's called smd in electronics (surface mounted device). Basically they are miniaturized semiconductor components with tiny solder pads which can only be joined with specialized equipment.
It's impossible to mess with it at home, that's why I sprung the extra cash for the 32gb version.

This is indeed a very interesting notion since the galaxy s3 was my very first smartphone and android I thought to myself that with the 16gb internal SD with an extra external SD card it should suffice but I was very wrong as apps only install in the internal SD card and I'm almost at my limits since I have alot of HD games and apps installed.

Just buy a 64 GB micro sd card.
Have a look at Directory Bind. This should solve your space issues (assuming you have a micro sd card in your phone).

Has anyone ran into a issue with their sdcard and their Note2?
Last night I used my Note2 with no issues. Woke up this morning and noticed I had a alert message saying that the sdcard had been unexpectedly unmounted. Couldnt get the sdcard to remount. The phone wouldn't/couldnt reconize thw sdcard. And even my laptop couldn't reconize it. But the phone reconized a different sdcard, so I know the phone reader is still working. But this is a Lexar 64gb class 10 xc sdcard. Not some cheap trash. I lost my nandroid backups, movies, pics, etc....
Just glad I wasn't running the Jellybeans v18 on the sdcard swap selection. Then I wouldn't be able to use my phone period. Lmk if you have seen these sdcards go out before. Just beware!!!

What he's referring to is JellyBeans additional "SD Swap" feature which basically makes your phone see your SD Card as the internal storage. I don't know why he thinks his phone wouldn't work though, as with any phone the Internal Storage/SD Card is not required for the device to operate.

I've ran into this issue with Lexar jump drives and had to use command prompt in W7 to make them work again. It always happened when I would write a Linux distro to the drive to use as a bootable disk.
The fix requires you completely wiping the drive, which the two jump drives in question that I always have issues with are actually micro SD card readers with whatever size card in them.
Here is the link explaining how to fix it:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/219693/unable-to-format-usb-stick-to-full-capacity/
What I have to do though is select the disk drive and once in it I have to use the Create Partition Primary command instead of selecting a partition because on my drives there are no partitions and it won't even show up under Computer most of the time. Give it a shot and see if it gets you back up and running, if not you may have a faulty card that Lexar needs to replace.

See I've never experienced any issues with either of my SanDisk 64 GB Class 10 and neither has anyone else I know that owns one. I wonder if they had a bad batch?
I haven't seen anything about other manufacturers 64GB Class 10 cards having issues yet but it is either something to do with Class 10 cards or a bad batch.

I just had a sandisk 32 gig class 10, and a 16 gig both go out on the same day. One in my wife's note 2, the other in my daughters tab2. Neither was recognised in windows completely. I reformatted both, but 16 gig will show blank card on the wife's phone until unmounted remounted. Both less than 6 months old, on the same day. I blame the solar flares, what else can I blame it on?

How do you go about doing this? I have no original paperwork or packaging, just a dead 32GB Sandisk card.
call 1-866-SANDISK (726-3475) and tell them about your problems they will ask for the numbers off the card. They make you send your to them first then when they recieve it they'll send you a new one.
