64 GB or 128 GB sd cards - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have any information as to whether or not this device can support 64 GB or even 128 GB sd cards? i know the specs say 32 GB but a lot of devices say that but can support the higher storage cards. if this device can support these higher cards i'm thinking about getting one for a music player. thanks for any info! :good:

I don't think it will support a SD card greater than 32GB.
Tried inserting a 64GB card on Moto G but it failed to detect it.

Yes, 64GB and 128GB SDXC cards work but you will be prompted to reformat them on first insertion (reformat to FAT32/VFAT).

The original Moto G does not have an SD card slot. Idk where you put the SD card but it wasn't in an SD card slot.

Custom kernels, such as the one that will eventually be included when Cyanogenmod arrives (Provided they include OTG functionality), should allow you to use USB otg just fine.

Unless there is a hardware limitation like on the Nexus 4. If there isn't enough power out then you'd need a powered hub.

Thanks for confirming that 64GB works with L9.
Few years back I came across a MicroMax device which is lower end simple phone without camera, but as per CATALOGUE and MANUAL, it was said it will support 2GB Memory card only. Once just to see if it works, I inserted 8GB Memory Card and voila!! It supported it without any issue. Only problem was it took longer time to start as hell lot of time was taken in reading card.
This explains why they limit the use of higher capacity memory cards, "for performance issue".
it says in the manual of the phone up to 32gb so in turn some models may not support it or may support it and give issues later down the road as my droid bionic and and a few other phones i had samsung was one of em the sd card port went disfunctional and at the end of the phones life the sd card slot was unusable what so ever any card i put in would not read so be very careful of that cause it can and cant mess up the port but that is from user expierence
Can anyone confirm using a 64 GB memory card ? Also, anyone able to install Apps to SD card ? I followed instructions and did on ADK setinstalllocation 2 but in a application called app2sd it says i might be unable to install to SD as it is emulated and shown only as a folder and not a separate device.
A side note: you MUST insert a blank card EXCEPT it's formatted in FAT32.

Correct. Lots of Android devices don't like NTFS formated microsd cards at higher capacity.

oops. Thanks for correcting me.
Maybe it was just me, but using a 64gb card caused me to constantly run into an error where the card became Read-Only. Tried so many different formattings and permission fixes to correct it but nothing worked. Popped in my old 16gb card and it worked like a charm.

[Q] whats the biggest sd card supported

I was wondering if i could use a 64gb sd card on my ham2. I currently have a 32gb but thats a bit small for me. Thanks

I am using a 64gb and have heard 128gb work too. I use a fat 32 partition and link2sd and use external sd as main storage.
I too am using 64GB -- formatted to FAT32. If I recall, my card was pre-formatted with 2 partitions which the phone will not recognise. If you format it to NTFS, TWRP might not recognise it in recovery mode. Windows will not format such a large drive as FAT32, so you will have to use another tool -- e.g. MiniTool.
The caveat is avoid using a (cheap) USB card reader. I've corrupted the card before when transferring too much data to the card. Newer readers built into your laptop or using the USB cable directly to the phone seem okay.

^^ Same as those guys, I also am using a 64gb card. No issues! Though surprisingly it made my Xperia bug out, lol
Just be sure you get something beyond first gen (40,MBS) cards. I have had 0 issues with anything up to 64gb I now have two 128gb cards that both work but get corrupted and require a format every time I attempt to transfer 10 + Gigs of information at a time.

I'm about to get a Redmi Note 3 Pro (ordered from Top One on Aliexpress, will arrive next week) and I'm wondering which MicroSD to buy. I saw that one, it has 22.000 reviews, 4.9 Stars average, I was wondering if the 128GB version would work with the Redmi Note 3 Pro.

has anyone tried with an exfat formatted card? I need mine on exfat, since I carry movies bigger than 4GB on it. Can anyone try if it works?
I'm pretty sure I had exfat but it asked me to format the card.

Afaik all MicroSD (also SDHC and SDXC) are supported up to 128GB. Maybe also above that, but thats what official supported.

I have accessed the SD Card with a SD Card reader in my windows computer. Then I deleted the exiting partition. Then I created a new one using FAT32. After this my Redmi 3 pro could access the sd card.

Exfat can work only on custom ROM along with custom kernel which has a built in support for this.'
Otherwise you will have to live with FAT32 on 64GB or above (just like I am)

Format the micro SD card to far32 if you are using stock kernel. Otherwise it will work fine on custom kernel.

You have tested a ext2/3/4 filesystem and it worked in the device w/MIUI ? I doubt xfs Or f2fs would work....
I might try ext3 later and report back

It can support upto 2TB Micro sd card, figures doesnt matter at all, Only Class matters. Redmi Note 3 supports SDXC class which has range of 64 GB to 2TB. Companies dont advertise it because of licensing issues.
It's officially 32gb......There are 3 types of SD cards in micro SD family. SD,SDHC,SDXC....... formatting like Fat 16, fat32, exfat owned by Microsoft. All OEMs pay royality charges for using its patients.
SD, format: fat16, range:128mb to 2gb (I don't know)
SDHC, format:fat32, range:4gb to 32gb(file limit:4gb
SDXC, format:exfat, range:64gb to 2Tb. (No limit)
Fat32 support maximum file size of 4gb per file. Try coping a file which is bigger than 4gb, SD card with fat 32 fails to copy.....exfat doesn't have this limitation.
Redmi note 3 or any phone that is labelled as 32gb supported can support SDXC upto 2Tb micro SD card,if you format that card to fat32. Ya you have 4gb file limitation...low and mid range phones avoid exfat license fee with Microsoft.
Also remember windows default format tool won't give option like fat32 when formatting 64gb or above. You only get exfat and NTFS. You need to use third-party formatting tools and format 64+GB card as fat32 to use it in officially labelled as 32gb supported phones. So thats why top range htc, Samsung, Sony with SD support labels upto 2tb, bcz they pay exfat formart support royality to Microsoft..
Hope this sd card doubts are cleared
format it to ext4 via twrp and when offered to format via android system just ignore.

Can I use 512GB SD card in poco F1

Can I use a 512GB SD card in poco F1 ...
official support up to 256GB.
or if I flash Custom Rom can I use it????
You should be able to as in most cases the limit is not locked by the software. If you can use a 64Gb sd card then you should be able to use a card up to 2Tb ( this being the limit, theoretically imposed, on the SDXC type cards).
Again, haven't tried but you should be able to.
The cards that are supported are only listed for what is available at the time of the phones release. As 1Tb cards are only just now starting to pop up most phones still only say 512Gb sd card supported as they haven't been tested by the manufacturer before release. False advertising to say it will support the biggest and best if it hasn't been tested and leaves thee manufacturers open to lawsuits if this information proves false...

all Android Phones! , the rule is same! Android doesn't support ext4 or ntfs, just exFAT
internal storage however is maintained by Kernel itself! so its possible to store file having size above 4gb

It's not really true. I have >4GB files on my SDcard right now. (Xiaomi.eu, but for a long time used normal Global MIUI (Stable and Beta)).
Android doesn't support ntfs "from the box", it's true, but no problem with ext4, exfat or files > 4GB.
exFAT supports files greater than 4gb... That's why I use this instead of FAT32, be aware, dsome older Chinese branded phones CAN'T use exFAT. These are stuck using 4gb files or less on sd card but that was a phone I purchased a few years ago, most seem able to handle exFAT now, if they support micro SD cards that is...
