OMG, I freaking love you. I just bought a 64GB card and thought maybe it was incompatible with my LG Tribute and I would have to downgrade to a 32GB card and then I came across your video

Thank you so much. Many people haven't posted a detailed video on how to use that extra space, but this video has helped so much. The quality is a little rough, but what matters the most was the information. Thanks.

i didn't understand when we format will it delet all the apps

Bro turn off the device, insert micro SD, turn on the device, go to settings, storage, and click on default storage and set it to SD card. Easy. You did it wrong and almost ruined the SD card.

Example: Suppose the drives on my PC before any USB connection is made go up to Removable Drive K. Once you connect your device to your PC via USB cable, you should see 2 new removable drives show up (Removable drives L and M). For me, it was removable drive M (the 2nd of the two that show up) that corresponds to the 64 GB microSD card storage. That is, whatever you drag and drop into Removable Drive M will be what shows up on the MicroSD memory section of your device. Hope this helps...

I plugged mine into a PC (w/ the 64 GB microSD card inside the Android device and recognized) via the USB cable and was able to transfer files. You have to just make sure you're using the correct Removable disk drive that appears. For me, i had 2 new removable disk drives appear after i have my Android device (with 64 GB microSD card inside) plugged into my PC. I dragged and dropped the mp3 files i wanted to add to my device to the 2nd of the two removable drives and it worked like a charm.

Total memory after initially formatting the 64 GB card is 59.46 GB. I have put a bunch of mp3s onto my card and am currently at 35.94 GB of available memory, so i've used up about 25 GB of the card thus far. Getting closer. Should be uploading some more mp3s this weekend. Will keep you posted...

Make sure you have a microSD card plugged into the SGP4.0. Then, connect it to your computer via the USB cable. So long as a successful connection is made between your device and computer, you should see 2 removable drives appear- 1 for the internal memory of the SGP and 1 for the microSD card. Make sure the removable drive you are uploading the mp3s, videos, etc... to from your computer is the one for the MicroSD card and not the one for your already-filled up internal memory. Hope this helps.

When you have your Android device connected to your PC via USB cable, make sure the removable storage drive that your saving to corresponds to the actual removable storage for the microSD card. Each time you connect your device to your PC via USB for uploading software or files to your device, you will have 2 removable drives show up under "My Computer". The storage that corresponds to the microSD memory card is usually the 2nd of the two removable drives that show up. Hope this helps...

so.can I now download games and apps with the sd card. cus my phone has no gigabytes and can download anything. with dis can I now download games?

i have a question i want to replace my old sd card bcoz its already full so i put a new one but when i inserted the sd card the storage still no available space

QUESTION: I have a question about a 64GB SDXC MicroSD card from Samsung being used on an AT&T Android Phone. The box of the AT&T Phone said the phone had a maximum limit of 64GB. By default, I automatically presumed this meant a 64GB MicroSD card with a format of exFAT due to the fact that FAT32 is said to have a limit of 32GB. I used my PC with Windows 10 to confirm the Samsung MicroSD card was 64GB in size and formatted in exFAT. I then transferred nearly 64GB of mp3 songs and mp4 videos with AAC audio format onto the card. At this point I inserted the 64GB MicroSD card into the AT&T Android phone. I tried to play some of the audio files. But, the AT&T Android phone said the card was "corrupt." I then went back to Windows 10 on the PC, and the card was working fine on the PC. But I went back to the AT&T Android phone and once again saw the card was called "corrupt." At that point, I saw the message in the AT&T Android phone that told me I should "format" the SD Micro card. I was given two choices. One choice said something to the effect of, "Will you want to use this card for media and files in between devices" and the other option was something to the effect of, "Will you want to transfer files." I was not entirely sure which one to select, because both could apply. I selected the option of "media" between devices. This "format" of the MicroSD card by the AT&T Android phone caused the card to be recognized by the AT&T phone. However, all data was lost in the format. I thought, "Well, I will just transfer everything to the card again." When I went to the PC to place the MicroSD card into the PC, there was a message on the PC telling me the MicroSD card was "corrupt." I received an "Error" message. The 64GB MicroSD card was now formatted as FAT32 in Windows 10. This made me think the AT&T Android phone insisted on using the FAT32 format, even though the box said there was a maximum limit of a 64GB MicroSD card. But, that would still not explain "why" the PC was saying the MicroSD card was "corrupt." I tried transferring files to this MicroSD card after it was formatted in the AT&T Android phone, but I was told every time that the file was too large. I am not referring to files larger than the maximum limit of 4GB in size. I tried small files of just 2MB in size and I still received that message that the file was "too large." I tried using this SD Microcard on another Android phone from Motorola. The 64GB MicroSD card was successfully recognized in the exFAT format. I also used a third-party app to format the 64GB MicroSD as FAT32. The 64GB MicroSD was also successfully recognized by the Motorola Android phone in the FAT32 format. Why is this AT&T Android phone causing the Windows 10 PC to see the 64GB MicroSD in FAT32 format as "corrupt"? Are there any other problems and/or solutions you may suggest to fix this situation?

my galaxy s7 isn't showing That the SD card is in it

Just finished uploading several music video files, movie files, and more mp3s. I'm down to 31.56 GB of available memory on the 64 GB SD card. The total available memory on the card is 59.6 GB, so i've used up a total of ~28 GB of the SD card. Probably still isn't answering your question, as there's still 31 GB left to use, but it's still able to store at the moment... I'll keep you posted as i put more content on, but i'm running out of large file applications to upload onto the device.

YOU ROCK!!!!! this was so simple that I feel dumb now for all the HOURS I wasted but I'm happy regardless :) 2 years ago I downloaded several formatting tools that didn't work but one eventually did work, and now just recently the same micro SD card has been reading as damaged so I have been searching for the download tool that worked two years ago but couldn't remember which download tool it was... so while searching for it I luckily ran into your video and tried these SIMPLE steps and I cant believe it worked! THANK YOU!

I will do a few other experiments tonight to test out what you're asking, as it's a good question. For now, i'm assuming that you'll have to likely reserve a 64 GB microSD card for the extra storage in your Android device and keep it in there. In another test, i took the microSD card out of the device (without uploading any new data to it) and quickly put it back into the device and it was fine (no need to reformat). But i'll do a few other experiments and fill you in...

you might lose a little tiny bit to overhead but the largest loss in space is not really a loss at all. just a different way of "measuring" the space. think of it like temperature. if you use F water boils at 212 but if you use C water boils at 100. you did not boil at 112 lower you just using a different "SCALE" 100=212 in this case your memory is the same. memory makers used 1GB=1000bytes while the operating system uses 1GB=1024bytes. (like C and F) Next message.....

What i'd recommend is to put your microSD card in a memory cardreader device that will read it to your PC and transfer the 32 GB or so of files from it onto a separate directory you create on your PC calling it something like "my 32 GB microSD card files". Make sure all the files save to that folder on your PC. From there, follow my steps here (pop microSD card and format it as i mention). (continued...)

The one test i did so far was to remove the card from the Android device (the card had been formatted for the Android, but i didn't load any data onto it...it was empty) and put it into my came. The camera asked me to format the card which i did. I took some photos with the camera, thus there was some content on the microSD. I then took the microSD card out of the camera and put it back into the Android device and needed to reformat it again in order to use it.

I have an LG X Android phone, manual calls for 32gb but 64gb works fine.

Yes, it also works in my very old Galaxy S i9000 (pretty similar to your Galax WiFi)! Problem is: The microSD's greater then >32GB come pre-formated with exFAT file-system. That's not usable by this older devices and leads to this "damaged SD"-message. 2 options to get it work: a) Format it WITHIN the device (as shown above), or b) Delete the exFAT-Partition via PC and create a new FAT32-Partiton (e.g. with GParted-Live Disc - not supported directly under Windows!) After that (in both cases), the microSD contains a 64GB-sized partition formated in FAT32-system! This works! THE DEVICE SIMPLY NEEDS FAT32 - THAT'S ALL! In my opinion there is no reason why not format a partition >32GB with FAT32 instead of exFAT or others. You can even format a single 1TB-partition on a HDD with FAT32 instead of NTFS/exFAT - no Problem! The max. partition-size for FAT32 is 2TB. The only real limitation of FAT32 is, that ONE SINGLE FILE may not be greater the 4GB of size. So you only won't be able to film a VERY long video in HD, so that the file-size exceeds 4GB - or you won't be able to copy a HD-movie as MKV/MP4 from your PC on it, when the file exceeds 4GB. If you don''t want to do that, FAT32 is fully OK!

good question. Haven't tested this on the tablet. Best way to find out is to find out what version of Android is running on the 2.0 tablet. If it's the same Android OS version as the galaxy player i tested this on, it should run fine. If not, it might still work. Check and see on one of the Android forums if someone has posted anything about the 64 GB card being compatible with the tablet. I think it should be. Personally, i'd shoot for using a 128-GB card for the tablet. :)

Seeing as how a Galaxy Player is on par hardware-wise with a Galaxy S 1, I think its safe to say that if a 64gb card works on that, it'll work on anything. This video answered any doubt I may have had.

Ok. I had this problem at first too. Let's see if the reason i was having my issues is the same as yours. So, when you connect the device via USB cable, you should see 2 removable drives show up under "My Computer". If you drag and drop the files you want to store on the MicroSD card memory into the wrong removable drive, then you'll have the problem where you will see the extra space but nothing will be added to it. For me, I dragged and dropped into the 2nd of the removable drives that...

Get a Class 6, as that's been proven to work. Make sure you buy one from a reputable vendor who has a lot of positive feedback. I would just buy a single one. The one i got was the SanDisk Class 6 which comes with the adapter. It should be around $70-$80. Just look at the pics of the product on the page where you're thinking of buying it on and make sure it is what you're looking for and the seller has a lot of positive feedback.

Test summary (part 2 of 2): and removed the 64 GB microSD from camera and reinserted it into my Android device. Android loaded it in and didn't recognize it ("damaged card" error). So, i reformatted the card as in the video and card was recognized again with the 59.62 GB capacity again. This test shows that all manipulations to the 64 GB microSD card must be done with card inside the Android device and connected to a PC via USB cable and not through any external card readers, etc...

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination

This is because when you buy memory from a manufacture they're selling it as "64000000000" bytes which when you convert it to gigabytes it turns to about "59.6" Gigabytes. This is because you don't divide by 1000 when converting you divide by 1024 each time.

i would try moving some of the larger files you have stored on the internal memory of your Android device (like mp3s, video files, photos) to your MicroSD card to make room for these apps to get stored on your internal memory if your device is giving you issues with the 32 or 64 GB card.

Great stuff moderntrekker. Going out to buy one tomorrow. Cheers.

wow, awesome! thanks so much. This is great news. :D

My device said the same thing that it can support "up to 32 GB MicroSD cards". Thus far, i've just put mp3s on my device and downloaded a few apps and everything works well. I can access everything that is stored on the 64 GB microSD card perfectly. All the mp3s work fine, as do the apps.

Ok, test complete (summary will be in next comment). Nevertheless, as i assumed, you'll have to devote specific 64 GB microSD cards to your Android device for now. That is, once the 64 GB card has been formatted in your Android device, you'll have to add all your files to it via USB connection between Android device and PC. If you take it out and try adding files to it via some card reader, it will ask you to reformat the card once you stick it back into the Android device.

so if you take 64000MB in 1000byte units and divide that by 1024byte units. you get 62.5GB not 64GB. as to why it jumps even further down to 59.4GB that I don't know. so there is something "more" going on but my 64gb reads the same way.

Once the card error no longer shows up and the card is free to start downloading files onto, simply throw all the files in that directory on your PC back onto your microSD card in your Android player.

We just had a comment earlier from someone who got it working on their SG3, so i think you're fine. Also, i've heard people who've got it working on their SG2, so i think you should be fine.

Hey dude. I got mine from Amazon. "64 GB SanDisk Class 6 MicroSD" card. KZfaq isn't allowing me to post the link here, but just type in the above between the " " in the Amazon search bar and you'll find it. Should be between $70 and $80. Try and get the one that comes with the adapter.

You're asking if an 8 GB microSD card will work in a Samsung phone? If that's your question, the answer is yes. It is well known that 32 GB and under microSD memory will work on Android phones. My video proves that 64 GB cards can work as well. Hope this answers your question.

oh i see now what you meant. Not sure about what happens after you go over 32 GB on the card. My available memory on the card is 47.6 GB, so i have a ways to go. I will be uploading a bunch of mp3s next weekend, so if i pass the 32 GB mark, i'll let you know what happens...

That was very useful. Used it on my Galaxy S3. Thank you.

That card, according to SanDisk, should only be formatted as exFAT, which is why your media player is reporting it as damaged; it's a file system it doesn't support. When you format it with your device, it formats it as FAT. "Reformat into file system other than exFAT may cause instability; Only compatible with SDXC enabled device in exFAT format per SD Standard" -That's why I see numerous complaints about problems people have. Your device was manufactured to support no more than a 32G card.

Therefore, if you have more than 64 GB worth of data that you're looking to put on your Android device, i recommend reserving a few 64 GB cards that will be completely devoted to your Android device and will not be manipulated by any other card readers/devices. With this, you can confidently remove/reinsert the cards from/into your Android device w/o having to reformat them when they've been reinserted as Android will recognize the (Android-devoted) 64GB card again once it's been reinserted.

Test summary (part 1 of 2): I unmounted the formatted 64 GB microSD card and removed it from my Android device (hadn't saved any files to it). I then stuck it into my camera and camera prompted to format the card which i did. I then proceeded to connect camera to PC via USB cable. Camera with 64 GB card was assigned a removable disk drive on my PC and i created a folder for a few sample mp3s and a few videos which i uploaded successfully to the card. I then disconnected USB connection

I would think that is very likely. Class 6 is recommended and that's what i've shown on my demo. I'd try and return it for a class 6 and try it again...i'm sure you'll get it to work.

With my phone, it says "Unmount SD card" and gives GB amount but in Applications settings it still gives amount in MB and on SD card it still says amount of MB left. So I still can't upload more data because there's not enough space.

I have an LG Ultimate2 and I had to choose the erase sd card function as I had no format option. I simply erased the sdcard and my phone must have formatted the card properly. After erasing my phone it shows that I have 59g available and the red exclamation icon is gone.

SPOKE TO SOON, SPACE SHOWS AVAILABLE BUT THE SPACE ISN'T THERE SOME HOW.

** Important point: So long as you're using a 64 GB microSD that you've devoted to your Android device (by devoted, i mean a card that will not be manipulated by any other card reader/media device other than your Android device when adding or removing files to it), you WILL NOT have to reformat the 64 GB card if you've unmounted and removed it from your Android device to swap it for another 64 GB card you want to fill, as Android will recognize the devoted card again once it's been reinserted.

I did this with galaxy note 2 and it worked perfect.

What Android version are you running on your Mini? I'm thinking if it's FroYo or higher, that it should work fine. Do a quick search on one of the Android forums just to make sure, but i think you'd be okay.

sorry i havent been able to use computer for a while but only the stuff that are saved onto the microsd and i can see anything i put on the sdcard just when i take videos or photos and save it TO the microsd it doesnt work

yup it will. I believe if you scroll down in the comments you'll see some people saying that it worked like a charm on theirs.

i have a galaxy S2 skyrocket android 4.0.4 w/patriot 32gb HC class4 card. Every time i do a video it just sits there *rendering* (or whatever) at that screen and after about 5 mins i hit the Home button and when i go to see the video its the little grey chipped box thing and i cant see the video. if the video is like 10 sec long it will show a picture or a part in the video but i cant play it.(same with pics now) i have tried downloading video viewer apps. iv formatted the card but still no luck

Yes you just format it to FAT32, default allocation unit size instead of format into exFAT or NTFS. Most modern Androids & hardware made in the past 5 years will except standard 64gb cards formatted into FAT32. If you plug the card into a card reader or thumb drive reader, you can also format it to FAT32 on any computer too. Copy your files that are on it to the computer or a drve first, because formatting any card or drive will erase everything on it. After you format it ti FAT32 you can put the files you saved back onto the card if you want.

The only question you have not fully answered is have you specifically loaded one of your 64gb microsd's with more than 42gb of data (pics, docs or music or apps), how much over 32gb you've gone and confirmed the device still reads above the 32gb barrier? I appreciate the hard work but need this answer before considering a potential waste of time.

Hey mate. I've heard it works for the regular version of the Galaxy Note, so i'm assuming it should work fine for the international version too. And yes, i pop in the 64 GB microSD card (external), then wait for Android to give the error, then go to the SD card and device storage menu and, under the SD card section, choose format SD card. Then, you should see the total memory increase to 59.4 GB (if you're using a 64 GB card). Hope this answers everything...

I got my alcatel onetouch to show my 64 gig sd card. by now it is showing not enough memory on my sd card. it was brand new. I reformatted the card, and it says I have 59 gigs available memory. but it still wont let me move apps to the sd card

how do u know if its the right SD card for your android device

I just tested out a 1.05 GB transfer of mp3 files to my device. I clocked the transfer at 8 mins, 35 secs. I'd say it's slower than the class 6 spec. I think that is one drawback in using 64 GB microSD cards in Android devices- though it will work, you will not be able to make full use of all the cards' capabilities...in this case, the class 6 speeds.

i dowloaded facebook twitter and temple run on my micro sd 8gb card from my computer then when i put my card in my phone (samsung galaxy ace) it doesn't show the apps . Why ? and what's the solution ?

Ok so I had bought my sd card and I tried puting it in and I want to download apps from play store and when ever I try it does not download to the sd card but to my phone and tht is not what I want so can u tell me how its a samsung excipit.

It is my understanding that EXFAT can only do file sizes less than 4gb at a time....such as fat32?

hello.. I put a Sandidisk mobile ULTRA 64GB MicroSDXC I card in my galaxy s2. First the format to be able to see the card in the phone, then i put my card into the crappy cardreader in the hp laptop, and as other has mentioned, i't could not be read. then i tried my cardreader: Sandisk ImageMate All-in-one: Its able to read and write to the card as normal (win7 32 bit ) AFTER formating in he galaxy s2...

Iv got a class 10 64gb card on my note 2, iv formatted to exfat on my pc it only showed 27gb, wen I put it in my phone and formatted it it showed the correct 58gb. But now am trying to download file size over 4gb keeps saying not enough memory. Can anybody help

...show up and then i was seeing the files on my device. It is very important you drop the files into the correct removable drive. If you drop them into the wrong one, it will look as if the files have been successfully added there (on your PC), but you won't see them on your device. This sounds like the problem you may be having. Let me give you an example to illustrate in case what i'm writing here is confusing:

is thought the micro SDHC card to mount into the phones on board memory...?

r u saying the same byte units is different to memory makers and different to operating systems ?

So are you basically saying I could buy a 16gb phone and get 64gbs of space if I use this sd card?

I don't know what to tell you, dude. I used a class 6 and it worked fine. I usually do all my uploading on my desktop with the GMP4 plugged in via USB and then just transfer the files i need onto the removable drive that pertains to the microSD card. Btw, is the rendering of your videos, where nothing ends up loading, happening for videos that are saved on your device memory too or just videos saved on the microSD card? Are you able to load or see anything that's on the MicroSD card?

I heard that it works with the 1st generation Samsung Galaxy tablet, so i'm sure it works with the new gen too. What Android OS are you running on your 10.1?

Hey, I have an android ZTE Warp. I'm thinking about buying this card but I'm not sure. I don't put any movies on my phone at all, and I rarely take pictures. It's strictly music. I have a huge music library, and my 32gb is almost out of memory. Do you think it will work on the ZTE Warp?

thanks .very informative.

Have you reached past the 32gb mark with music, apps, files, etc.? Are things still running smoothly?

I heard some people commenting here that it does work of SGNote1. Are you sure the one you purchased is a Class 6?

I've been checking your message update for quite awhile regarding this 32gb limit, have you exceeded the 32gb mark on this card and is still able to access all your files beyond this point? I'm thinking of buying a 64gb along with a sony xperia acro s as soon as i purchase the phone. :)

sir can you help me??? I have huawei android smartphone KitKat 4.4.2 and I have buy 64 GB sandisk micro SD class 10 when I insert it into my phone the sd card can't be read, please help me sir.

What I suggest is if you plan on buying a 64gb sdcard, buy it with warranty, then fill it up to 40 gb then if it doesn't work, you can just give it back

Just out of curiosity was class six and adequate speed for you on you device for downloads and such. Or was it a bit slow?

Thanks for the helpful video. I bought a Nuvision Android tablet and it holds a 64gb card. If I run into any problems with my sd card i will follow these steps.

Can't find set answers anywhere, can anyone confirm if this 64 gig card will work with an HTC Incredible 2 that is still on 2.3.4 still waiting for the gingerbread update, ordered the card already. HELP

You mention formatting and recognizing...What will happen when you plug this phone into a computer to drag and drop files for example? Will the computer or linking up through airdroid work in transfering files?

what does the class mean?

Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other

It’s only fair to mention that Mini Micro SD Cards require you to use a Mini Micro SD Converter Decoder for very few PC’s have the ability to truly recognize and read these new advanced High Speed Chips ( that is of course if the chip is Not Fake) or else you maybe just wasting your time.

Really? I thought i've seen people posting saying that it works on the Galaxy Note 2. What sort of error message is it giving you?

Hi I have a 8gb micro sd card and want to download stuff on it but dont know how it always downloads on my internal memory but I want it on my sd card help

I purchased a 64gb sd card a month or so back, before watching this video, and did the exact steps demonstrated in this video. However, I continued getting the damnaged message. It it possible I keep getting the message becuz of transferring all the data from my 32gb to the 64gb? I'd really hate to lose all the pics I've taken over the years. Please help. Thank you

can i ship a defective microsd card back to the sender in an regular envelope and a stamp, so i dont have to pay for shipping?

What if u take out the micro sd card and put it into ur computer, load it with some content, then put it back in ur device. Would u then have to reformat it again or is one formating good for life? Please respond.

If u put the micro sd into ur device and then format it, then take it out of your device and put it into ur computer, load it with comtent then pit it back into ur device, will the device have to reformat it for it to work with your device or not?

does it work on i9000? i have 2.3.5 version. My formating option key is disabled.

yes it is working for me u should get it if u like a huge amount of gig on ur phone
