s5 sd card support - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys did anyone ever try putting a 256gb micro sd card in the s5 to see if it supports it?

yes it does. (bought it yesterday, sandisk).
Now.... my problem is: making the phone to See these 256GB as INTERNAL Storage. cause without this.... (imo) the phone is just a piece of ***ℂℝÅℙ***.

theoretically, the phone can support any size of SD card pretty much. And to the first reply, 6.0 usually asks you if you want the ext sd card to be used as internal storage.

Thanks very much.

g2 uses flash based memory this means the internal memory is soldered on to the motherboard

Micro SD card format?

Hey guys, as you know, we are all waiting for the S7/edge and some of us have already ordered SD cards. Mine arrives Monday and in anticipation, I want to fill it up with all my music and photos etc... What format do androids read SD cards best?
FAT32
or
NTFS
or
FAT?
THANKS
EXFAT if you have any card about 64GB they'll be formatted that way. Just pop it in and your golden. If you really wanted to you could just pop it in and if the phone tells you to format it then let it.

I am running MM on my S5 and on first boot MM insisted I format the card before it would use it. Samsung have made changes to the way it uses the card but I think we will still be required to format
the card in the phone to use it. Tidbits is right it is Exfat used
what about allocation unit size?

SD card damaged

Hi everyone,
i have a G900F running on the current version of the ALEXNDR Rom, rooted, Knox 0x1, Android 6.0.1.
I have my SD card formatted as (mixed) adoptable storage (via adb), so I have 50% of space as SD card memory, 50% as adoptable storage.
And now for the problem: The SD card is repeatedly shown as "damaged". As soon as I put it into my PC, it'll work without any problems, but the SGS5 will work for quite a time with it, and then suddenly shows it as damaged and will not mount it unless you format it. It usually happens when a larger amount of data is written to the card.
So I thought that the card might really be damaged (was an old and small and slow one) and went vor a SanDisk Extreme 64GB card - same thing here. Then I read about some problems with Samsung devices and SanDisk cards (may the be true or not, I dont know) and swapped it for a Samsung 32 GB Pro SD card - same thing here.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it? Or will the adoptable storage just not work?
In addition: I could reproduce this when I was downloading Videos to the SD card from Amazon Prime Video for offline use. Seems that a) this is a large amount of data and b) split into thousands of small files. I dont know if its the number of files or the amount of data, but when I deleted the folder on my PC and put the card back into the phone, it suddenly worked perfectly again. Any ideas on this?
Hey there how are you?
I recently have had an issue with my samsung 128 sd card that was formated in a 50/50 mix from adb too.
As the sd card was formatted in exfat I posted an issue on the exfat home page. https://github.com/relan/exfat/issues/49 I was provided with advice on my mac on how to reformat it using the dd command. This was the only command that I came across which gave me an input output error indicating a hardware issue on the sd card.
I have since purchased a new sd card. I'm thinking of formatting it as either an ext4 format or f2fd format to see whether this makes an impact of its longevity.
Hope this helps.

changing SD card used for internal storage

I have TWRP, etc. on my 2016 galaxy Tab A SM-P580 and am using a 128GB micro SD card as internal storage. Since it is nearly full I purchased a 400GB micro SD card to replace it. My question is hope do I go about doing the replacement so that I don't have to start with putting everything on the new cards from scratch - i.e., reinstalling applications, etc. Thank you very much!
