[Q] SM-G900H (Exynos) users - Do any 64GB cards work for you? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the SM-G900H (Exynos) version and find my SD card unmounting and generally having problems.
Sometimes the card shows as empty w/ ES File Explorer
Sometimes it just spins in ES File Explorer
Sometimes Application Settings crashes.
Almost every time I put the card back into my PC it says that it needs to "Scan and Correct Errors."
This is my 3rd S5 (AT&T & T-Mobile versions) and didn't see this with the SnapDragon versions.
It failed with the SanDisck 64GB Extreme so I went out and bought the 64GB SanDisk Extreme plus. The problem occurs with both UHS-I cards (for me).
Interestingly, an old 8GB microSD card (not SDXC) works fine with this phone and has never had an issue.
Could it be a octacore problem or maybe I just have a bad card reader in this unit?
WHICH SD CARD ARE YOU USING IN YOUR G900H (Exynos) PHONE? And are you rooted or not?

Mine is rooted and with PlilZ recovery, same situation with a 32Gb Extreme, not with an Ultra same capacity, with Extreme is the same as yours.

WOW! So, maybe there is a bug with the OS? Does Samsung know about this?
>> Yours is also the G900H?
The problem for me with the Ultra (in the G900A and G900T) was that I couldn't shoot videos or use the 'Shots and More' mode because it would say that the memory was too slow and that it was switching over to the main storage. A single photo was fine but not something that needed more speed.

Samsung India (online support) - no known issue
I just finished with an online support chat with Samsung support in India and the guy that I chatted with said there is no known compatibility issue for my phone (SM-G900H) and the SanDisk Extreme. He recommends that I bring it into the support center.
Maybe someone else with a SM-G900H can confirm that a SanDisk Extreme microSDXC is working in their phone?

Yes, mine is a SM-G900H.

I just have problem with download booster it wont work in 3G + Wi-Fi and actually nobody found a way to fix LTE bands in different geographic zone for different S5 device

Thanks for your response but I was asking about the octacore (Exynos) G900H version.
The Korean G900L version is still a quadcore Snapdragon processor and that one worked fine for me as well with the SanDisk Extreme line of memory cards. I knew right away because the Exynos doesn't have LTE ASFAIK.
Still no one has tried these memory cards with the octacore G900H?

Thanks for your reply.
>> I assume that you needed to reformat it with FAT32 and weren't able to use it straight out of the box with exFAT?
It is good to know that the slower 'Ultra' and 'Ultra Plus' work with the 900H but I still haven't heard of anyone who can confirm that the faster 'Extreme' and 'Extreme Plus' are working with the 900H.
I did return mine and another one went into the mail today so I'll hopefully know by Wednesday if the 'Extreme Plus' is working with the 900H.
I can confirm that the 64GB SanDisk Extreme does work with the 900A Snapdragon version.

Galaxy S5 SM-G900H
Does anyone know if the Galaxy S5 SM-G900H is att compatible? LTE COMPATIBLE for that matter as well? thanks in advance!!

AT&T: yes; LTE: no

Yes, I use my my 900H with AT&T.
No, the Exynos does not have LTE -- HSPDA+ is the best but it works.

Samsung Galaxy Tab coming to Sprint

Samsung galaxy tab coming to sprint nov. 14 hopefully with 4G
http://androidapproved.com/item/sprint-galaxy-tab-coming-november-14th/
Yea, too bad the CDMA Sprint version only has 2GB of internal memory where the GSM unlocked version has 16GB or 32GB internal. So stupid... Wonder if the at&t version will have 16GB or 32GB.. oh wait, they only support the iPhone... The at&t version will be lucky to even have a front facing camera! I think there is an unlocked US version thou with at&t 3g SPECS..?
I might be wrong because one never can tell what's going on in Yankee techno waters, but there are two kinds of internal storage - built-in nand (2gb) and built-in sd (16 or 32). All tabs will have the 2gb as well as either 16 or 32 of flash.

I9505-Broken sim card reader pins

I accidentally broke sim card reader pins on my Galaxy S4 I9505 international GSM model(i guess thats the model).
So i found out that it is really easy to repair,you just buy new card reader and replace it.
But,im having a problem finding a right card reader on ebay,i only found I9500 and I9505 LTE one. Are there any diffrences between card readers of all these models or i can buy whichever i want?
Do you guys have experience with this problem,is it easy to solve?

I guess I'll bump too but I have a question. Does your phone work at all or does it say there is a sim error or does it not read at all? I've dropped my phone a few times on carpet and my 3g/4g was intermittent for a day and now won't turn on. I did all kinds of flashing and software testing and now think its a Sim card connection or antenna problem. I just need to know if a broken PIN might still allow 2g to work.
I hope you get your phone fixed.

It will be pretty sure as they have launched Dual sim version of all their flagships in last two years like Note 4 / 5 & GS5 / 6.

Because the biggest flaw is the lack of space on the S6.
Why would I get an S7 with 32gb of space when using two sims, instead of a cheaper 64gb/128gb Galaxy S6?
It takes better low light pictures and is waterproof.... that's it, nobody really cares about CPU/GPU performance anymore.
Will see what happens when the S8 is released.

I see your point about the cheaper storage, but what about battery life and better software? (Remember the crappy memory management that hit the S6?) As for your point about CPU and GPU, the S7 now comes with the SD820 as opposed to the Exynos in the North American model. This means that developers are gonna have a much easier time developing for the device as Qualcomm has much better source updates than Samsung. In any case, it's your opinion that counts, but just thought I'd shine some light on that.
On an on-topic note, I'd like to know if the dual SIM works with the North American model as I have two SIMs.

Depends how much of the code they share, I remember the old days of custom Galaxy roms where the pictures on CM were pretty bad compared to stock due the closed camera source.
Battery life really depends on the user, and running custom tends to fix it, having an extra 400mah won't set the world on fire as the biggest drain is the screen - which is exactly the same.
I just think it's a very hard sell to users who run two sims, especially when you only have to wait another 12 months for the next phone. I also doubt they will do what huawei do with their phones and ship the dual sim/sd card hybrid version worldwide, will probably still be branded 'duos' and in limited supply.

If it's true I stay my my Dual SIM GS5 or buy a G Note 4 Dual
I need to use 2 sims, and I need to use the sd card..... I don't know how in Samsung's wisdom they came up with hybrid idea!!!!!!!! LG G5 will be my next phone for the dedicated slots
The dual sim hybrid tray is surely region dependant. In Netherlands I have checked all sites with pre-ordering, there is no dual sim here. All sites are mentioning single nano sim. A few posts back someone mentioned dual sim version as official in Belgium, seems a strange news...If it is so, I'm going to get one from there.

SD card does not help ?
With Dual Sim, SD card slot is taken by 2nd Sim. It is a hybrid slot. Either 2nd Sim or SD card. If it would have been both, the perfect phone for me.

S7 Edge 64GB models (and LTE network bands)?

Currently Samsung has stated that EU/NA markets will get only 32GB built-in memory models.
Korea and perhaps some other Asian markets will get 64GB - at some point in time.
Currently no official information (as of 25/2/2016) is available from Samsung on:
- 64GB model release dates/countries
- 64GB model supported 3G/UMTS/LTE network frequencies (bands)
Previously one could buy for example 128GB special model of Note5 from Korea. However this model would NOT include support for all US/EU network frequencies.
So, if you know of 64GB model information, release dates, prices, countries or frequency support, please post here.
Some sites are already listing the 64GB versions of SM-G935F

With all the gear VR stuff and game being almost 1 gb nowadays. I am really compelled to get the 64Gb variant. Cant find much online. Any sites you can buy them from? All seem to be coming soon.
Why do you need a 64gb version at all? I have the 32gb european model, a 128gb micro sd partitioned 50/50 and formatted fat32/ext2. Then I rooted my handset and use Link2Sd Paid and every App (Data and Obb files too) are transfered to the ext2... I have over 500 apps on handset, lots of which are 2gb games and my internal storage still has over 20gb free... Job Done [emoji39]

the physical cards fit but I want to know if the extra pins are actually put to use to get the speeds the cards are rated for. backwards compatibility and software overhead make this hard to find out. lol

No it does not have the extra pins for U3 speeds.
As far as I could research there could be some benefit but not to the fastest speeds.
I've just purchased the sandisk 200gb extreme UHS1. I find it's fast enough to transfer files to and also save to for video recordings at full hd (although I'm yet to try 4k). It seems more than fast enough for my needs, I'm also constantly transferring between SD card and Internal. Just thought OP may wanna know as I was also trying to find this answer previously as I really wanted to use a UHS 3 card.

Thanks for the info. From what I've read, U3 should be supported by the Moto Z, however U3 is not the same as UHS 3. Actually, I've yet to see any UHS 3 cards... the newest is only UHS II. Apparently, the U1 and U3 have to do with the write speed supported by the card. U1 is a minumum of 10 MB/s , U3 is a minimum of 30 MB/s. Both are denoted on the UHS-I cards and also on some UHS-II cards, however UHS-II cards are also supposed to have a different "v" speed rating.
