[Galaxy S II Accessories] RT.:
I received a Sandisk 64GB card today, and while the extra space is fantastic, I seem to have run into a (minor) problem I've not seen mentioned in this thread.

When I go to move an app to the SD Card, it fails with the message "Couldn't move app. Not enough storage space."

Put a 32GB or smaller card into the S2 and it works just as it should. It's only with the 64GB card that the issue happens. I'm guessing there's a bug somewhere in the mechanism of how the phone decides whether there's enough room or not that is triggered by the 64GB card. This is with ICS 4.03 rooted via the method described at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

Has anyone else encountered this issue?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] timberwolf60:
I have the same problem as you mention. Tried stock application, titanium backup and ultra manager all can't moved applications into ext card. Not enough space else it will be perfect.

I've found a fix :)

I used to have an old piece of PC software that would give a "not enough space on drive" error if there was more than 2GB free on the drive it was on. The error basically boiled down to the fact that 2GB hard drives weren't available when the software was written and the free space checker basically fell over when confronted with a free space report outside its understanding.

On a hunch, I created a few 3GB dummy files and placed them on the 64GB card so there was only 30GB of free space and hey presto I can now move applications without a murmur.

After moving the apps, if you remove the dummy files so there's, once again, more than 32GB free, the moved apps will stop working once you reboot the phone until the free space drops below 32GB again. So, the fix seems to be fill your card so that there's less than 32GB free. If you haven't yet got enough data on there to do this, create some dummy files to fill the space. You can delete the dummy files as you fill the card.

I used http://www.mynikko.com/dummy/ to create several 3GB files for the this purpose.

Hope this is useful.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] timberwolf60:
This is not a fixed. No meaning to filled up the dump file and let it about 32gb or less then can moved applications into SD card. I should said that s2 not fully compatible to 64gb card. To me I need storage space and it suited me. Not interesting of moving applications into SD card.

for storage my sandisk card works fine , i dont store games on the card so i cant tell you if it works for games and app files but for storage of mps and vids and camera files etc this thing rocks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trev186:
Games work fine for me fyi
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tomasher:
that depending on microSD card R/W speed, the bigger number is better (class 6 or class 10 or more) for running games and apps from microSD card. but also the bigger R/W speed is a way more expensive than class 2 or class 4.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nachomagic:
Hi everybody

The news are great!!!!

64MB Working cards

Class 6 are cheaper than class 10.

Does anybody knows if are both cards compatible with S2?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] a_t_u_l:
Could you provide a link to support this, in case of 64gb.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] timberwolf60:
The writing speed for cl6 is 6mb/s where cl10 is 10mb/s when you used it in phone where 4MB/s when in USB mass storage mode.. I used the Sandisk ultra sdxc cl10 64GB card it came with exFAT format will not recognized in S2. S2 will shown error in status bar. Dragged down the status bar and touch on the SD card icon. S2 will prompted you wrong format and asked you to format. Answer yes and fellow erasing.... once completed, it can be used in s2. Pro: many storage space(59.36GB). Con: can't moved applications into it.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trev186:
This is old news....the 64 GB cards are almost a year old and not only for the s2/s3

They also work in just about any android smartphone as long as your format them properly.

I have personally tested the s2, evo3d, og droid, nexus 1, mytouch 4g, xperia play, galaxy tab 7.7

With that spread of devices I would say it works in just about any android phone.

Further I expect a 128 GB sdxc card to be released within the next year as well...since the 64 GB Sdxc works for android there should be no reason the other sizes of sdxc cards will work either.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nachomagic:
Sure

Class 6

Thanks for the reply

And if I buy a class 6 instead a class 10 will it work as well?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trev186:
Yes

You could buy any class and it would work....

Don't buy on ebay buy direct from sandisk
[Galaxy S II Accessories] a_t_u_l:
Bro, all 3 links are for class 6. I just received class 10 64gb SanDisk off ebay for 64.49usd. That time class 6 was expensive. The reason being class 10 was mass produced, as informed by a xda member in another thread.

The 64gb works well after format and can move apps too. The cover says android compatible as mentioned above by some fellow members.

Not too happy about sandisk hey, I've bought two 64 gig sdxc microsd cards from different stores, they work ok for a little bit then stop working, in my phone it just formats the internal storage, in my pc windows just says "this drive needs to be formatted" and then wont actually format.

First card I got I got a full refund for, so I bought another one somewhere else, same thing pretty much happened.

Be warned guys, there might be a bad batch of them out there, so fingers crossed I've just had bad luck!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trev186:
I have owned mine for over a year and it gets used very heavily...never had a problem..

Honestly Sandisk will always produce the newest card first as.well.as.some of the best

Hey guys. I am looking at buying a 128GB Mico SD card for my Galaxy SII and I'm trying to confirm if anyone has tested these out on this phone. I see the 64GB works and most people seem to think that the 128GB will work but just wondering if anyone here has tested them?

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

Ah I may have jumped the gun. Looks like the 128GB cards havent been released yet
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AfftarN:
Hi all!

I bought a few cards SanDisk 64Gb on Ebay. Looks like a fake, but work perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vincenttot:
Same happened to me, after 6 or 7 months it suddenly started behaving funny.

I noticed it because i recorded a movie or made a picture and it didnt saved it.

Then tried to move a folder and suddenly it was back again.

took it out and put it in my computer, tried the same thing, writing stuff and deleting and it worked.

Untill i removed the memory card, put it back in again and then everything was back like it was before.

nothing written more oin it and nothing deleted . Formatting also does not work he gives an error.

Sandisk just says . you put it in a phone thats not good for it so no garanty and go @%$#@$^% yourself.

just a 32g again and working good :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] TheATHEiST:
Until you try writing to non-existing sectors. 80% of all the 16G and larger cars on ebay are fake and firmware edited to show false sizes, especially if its from China/Hong Kong.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AfftarN:
Hi!

Yes, I know it! :) But my fake better than others :laugh:. I've tested it. I know that the I was just lucky.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] TheATHEiST:
Even so, I would still prefer to pay the extra money and get a high quality card I know is at lower risk of just dying on me and losing loads of data (If I dont have backup).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nztechblog:
Will this one: Sandisk 64gb Mobile Ultra Microsdxc Class 10 Uhs-1 30mb/s Memory Card with Sd Adapter - Retail Packaging work on the Galaxy Note?

It is a Class 10.. so it doesn't matter right? (If it is a class 6 or 10.)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mittaa:
I know Sandisk 64GB will work in SGS2 if you have no need of Apps to SD, but just need space for backup, movies and music ...

Have anybody tried 64GB MicroSD Card from Samsung or Kingston in SGS2?

Same same?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] YHWHF:
I use Samsung 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 and very happy, between most music and images I have taken only 11GB (I have no movies). Price today, 30-33€ (Very reccomended).

According to the spec does not allow 64mb, same with firmware update if possible, but I am more inclined to think the problem is hardware.

But I followed the thread correctly, sorry.

oh sorry i aslo have a 8gb card that works flawslesly in the same phone!

and the 64gb card also works flawlesly in my friends galaxy s3! can someone help me please i'm getting desperate!

:eek:

Thank you ahead for your time! :)

And yes i am a clomplete NOOB in regards of this!

My phone s i said is a Galaxy s2 rooted but with a original firmware becaue i dom't know where to get a decent CFW.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mastakx:
hi all..

i had been using a Kingston 32 gb cl10 in my sg2.. worked percectly till i decided to upgrade to 64 gb...

bought a Sandisk ultra 64 gb cl10 U1 sdxc and installed without problems initially...

As an addon memory this card workd grt ... but problem arose wn i startd using camera.. camera took eternity to initialize..(it hung for quite some time.) . i had given storage path of the card.

2nd problem came to light when i tried to backup apps.. everytime i tried to backup app to sdcard it gave an error of not having enouh memory...

my initial reaction wz that mayb the card is not proprly formatted. i did tht from fone. then i tried physical unmounting n mounting... No help there.

the card wz itself fine coz i had copied n erazed a lot of stuff on it without problem.. soo..

only option left wz to revrt to my old card.. and i did. there r no problems now.. evrytng is in ordr..

So i wud recommend that ppl shud stick to 32 gb cards which is recommended by samsung.. n things will be fine.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zenf:
Sorry if someone has already said this, I haven't read the whole thread but I can confirm that the Kingston Technology 64GB Class 10 Micro SDXC works just fine in the GS2. It seemed to already be formatted correctly too as it worked as soon as I put it into the phone. Been using it for about a week now with no issues at all.

There seem to be quite a few issues with these Sandisk cards so the Kingston might be the better option.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] __-_-_-__:
just wanted to say that I've tested a SDXC 256GB card on my galaxy s II and it worked. ofc via microSD to SD adapter.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trev186:
I too am using the 256 GB card in my S4 and via a extended battery case it fits underneath the case.

7500 MAH and a 256 GB card....

That sad the card would not work on CM10
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rouhio:
Is there a concensus to this thread?

I've had a look through this thread. Is there a conclusion to whether or not sandisk sdxc 64gb memory card will ultimately work with galaxy s2? I've heard that some people say yes, get it working, only to have the card mysteriously stop working after a few months. Does anyone know why, or if this is a solvable problem?

I have a s2 GT-I9100 on 4.1.2 and would love 64gb memory. But I'm a bit unsure about buying this, as I wouldn't want the hassle and annoyance of having it crash after a few months of use.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tbong777:
64 GB micro would be nice...Although i would bet the cost would be near $200...and it would have to be fast. At least as fast as the Patriot class 10 32GB which in my case is a lot faster than the Sandisk class 4 16GB SD card I had in previous.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] downradio:
Good news!

I sent an email a week ago to Kingmax - the TW electronics maker that was the first to announce its upcoming 64gb micro sd. That was way back in May so I was hoping they might give me an update. Here's what they said:

- The 64gb microsd will be available as of Sep 1

- Already been tested with Samsung series tablet pc & Galaxy S2 and all passed

- Currently testing with HTC smartphones now

- In terms of how to make it work, I copy and paste from the email: "just small reminder for Galaxy S2 as it still comes with SD2.0 spec., so it's not support for SD3.0 yet, so you need to format before using our Micro SDXC64G. But functions and capacity are no impact at all."

Seems to confirm that it will require only a minor software tweak that is apparently, already in existence. Very exciting!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] malajam:
hi

is there any new knew about Galaxy S2 and microSDXC 64 32 ?

the card is announced in SanDisk
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
I just ordered the SanDisk 64GB microSDXC card off their website; I should receive it Friday afternoon, which will give me the weekend to put it through its paces.

The specs on the SanDisk site look promising -- read speeds up to 30 MB/s, roughly 3X what my Lexar class 10 32GB SDHC does. Even if I can't get it to work on my SGS2, I should be able to use it as a replacement for my old 64GB USB thumb drive.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] aalupatti:
Wow... Looks real sexy

Dint see any announcement from sandisk abt this card....

Pricey ( expected )

The best thing is great transfer speeds... 30Mb/s

Wish the random speeds are fast too..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RMXO:
Wow, very nice find. Let us know how things went after you get yours. I'll be tempted to get one, if everything works out.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] donalgodon:
I'm thinking the same thing, as I never thought I'd fill up my 32GB card, but it's starting to get to that point now.

I look forward to hearing how it works out.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Look forward to your news, I will buy this instantly if it works. I always need more storage. 32GB + 16GB int was just sufficient for a while, but now I could really do with some more space for things.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trev186:
I ordered one as well let me know if u get it working. I'm on an evo 3d but may switch to the S2 ALL depends on some of the info on the nexus prime and whether cm7 will be ported to the sprint s2
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
A quick update, since there seems to be a bit of interest.

Haven't received the card yet, but expect to in the next few hours. One thing that occurs to me is that microSDXC cards use the exFAT filesystem instead of FAT32 or NTFS. So I did a test last night to see if the SGS2 could handle exFAT.

I formatted a known-good 16GB microSDHC card with exFAT, using Windows 7. I then mounted the card in my SGS2; no go. The kernel doesn't recognize exFAT, and reported that the card was "damaged" and offered to re-format it with FAT32.

Based on my reading of these forums, it looks like a kernel mod would be required, similar to the ones already described in these forums to allow for NTFS-formatted cards. I've posted a request in the SGS2 General forum, looking for exFAT support, as I couldn't find any existing kernels that provide it.

Another possibility, alluded to by downradio in post #22, would be to re-format the microSDXC as FAT32. I'll try that while waiting for responses in my other thread.

I could certainly live with FAT32 format -- it's what I have now on my 32GB Lexar. However, exFAT support would make things a bit easier, as that's how these cards come from the factory. exFAT also allows for file sizes > 4GB, which would make things a bit easier for DVD/BluRay rips.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
Well, I just got the SanDisk 64GB microSDXC. As I predicted, the SGS2 couldn't read the exFAT filesystem the card is formatted with. However, the SGS2 did format it as FAT32, and seems to accept it as a valid device.

I'm now copying my old 32GB card to the new 64GB, using standard USB microSDHC card readers on a Windows box. But before I did that, I ran SDTools on the microSDXC. Read speed 18 MB/s, write speed 6.6 MB/s; see the attached snapshot. Those numbers suggest to me that the device is the bottleneck, not the card.

So, aside from the lack of exFAT support, it looks like microSDXC will work.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trev186:
Does ur phone see 64 GBS AND WILL IT LET U ACCESD THAT SPACE ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonny68:
I reckon by next year you'll be able to use a 96GB Micro SD card in smart phones, i still have only 8GB and am happy enough with that but ill probably get a 32GB card at some stage.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] meno69:
I get the same speeds with my class 6 TeamMicro 16gb. Must be a limit of the S2. See what speeds you attach the SD to your computer.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
Yes and Yes. The phone says the SD card contains 59.46 GB, all of which appears to be accessible. I bought the card directly from SanDisk, so I'm pretty sure it's not a fake.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trev186:
Actually it is most likely to be 128 GB next year. It should double year after year if not quicker. Look up SDXC it goes to 2 TBs. If this only requires us to reformat the SD card this is going to be a lot of fun :)

I use several streaming services for movies and music. With this u can tell em to shove it and keep everything on the card. Who cares about the cloud when u have it with u everywhere without it
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Any further updates on how its working in the phone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
Seems to be working fine so far. I ran the SD Card Tester app overnight, creating a 40 GB file to fill up the card and verify that all 64GB are accessible. I've also played some HD video and MP3 audio off the card, all without issue.

I'm pretty satisfied with that. I've established that microSDXC cards will work in the SGS2 with a reformat to FAT32. Native support for exFAT would be nice to have, so you wouldn't have to reformat, and so you can have files > 4GB and not have to split up your DVD/BluRay rips.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Awesome, thanks again for that. Mine will arrive later in the week, so I will also post results here for people who are still sitting on the fence. Can't wait, I need 78GB!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xeq544:
Wow, good to know this, would definately use more GB for my music/video collection :P So is it really confimred that 64gb micro SDXCs are working ? Do you think 128gb would work too ?

But I cannot find them anywhere, can anyone send me a link for a 64gb sdxc on ebay ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trev186:
Only 64 are out .....do not use ebay buy from sandisk

[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
At this stage the ONLY safe place to buy them is direct from Sandisk - if you buy from Ebay I can near guarantee you'll be paying for a fake.

I used Shipito, that way I can buy from Sandisk's US online store and have it shipped to me here in New Zealand.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Can you post a picture of the card.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
Here are some pics, taken with the SGS2's camera in macro focus. I'm not much of a photographer, but these should give you an idea of what the card looks like.

As far as I know, the only way to get one right now is direct from the SanDisk website, as they only announced its availability on the 14th. I placed my order as soon as I heard about its availability (the morning of the 15th), and got it the morning of the 16th via UPS Next Day Air.

I suspect that over the next few weeks, they'll trickle out to the online vendors; I wouldn't expect prices to fall much until other manufacturers (Kingmax, Kingston, Lexar, et al) come out with their own competing products.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
They may not trickle out very quickly to online vendors, the 32GB cards took quite a while (I got one at release from Sandisk direct via Shipito, like I've done this time around also). Hopefully my shipping confirmation comes later today!
