64gb SD in a Bolt??

[GtoJon]

Anybody tried this yet? Just curious ...... would love to know. Not many people need this option, but I'm a photog/CompTech & like to have my photos/vidoes to show & utils for computers. Had the Bionic for 3 days & constantly had issues with my 32gb in the Bionic

Cheers , Jon

I don't believe there are any phones that support SDXC.

Only gives you 2gb for free ...... then it's $10/mo 2gb is nothing when you have a 32gb card.

Thanks anyway, Cheers , Jon

It has been said that it works if you format the card to FAT32 when its in the thunderbolt. i have seen reports of it working on other android devices including a few HTC devices.

I saw some of those threads a while back & then they got buried. Now if the price would go down

It will not work, at least with current software. The Thunderbolt (and all current devices) only support up to 32 GB SD cards. If this is also a hardware limitation like many old computers had with RAM, then there may be no way at all to get a 64 GB card to work.

Why in the world do you need that space? The only significant space I have on my SD card is my current custom ROM should I ever need to re-flash. All my music is on Google Music, and movies I can stream from my computer.

I can see where a person without unlimited data might like more space. Personally, I thought 32GB was plenty.

So nice that that works for you. Personally, I would like to keep all my MP3s on my phone, so I can listen to whatever I want, whenever I want. 32GB is too small for that, but 64GB would be plenty.

And I want to be able to listen even when I'm in an area with bad or no signal.

And I don't want to eat the battery that it takes to stream my music over a data connection whenever I want to listen.

But that's just me....

This is EXACTLY why I choose to store my music on my phone over using streaming services. The reason for avoiding excess battery drain is huge.

In many ways this replaces my laptop & then some. I carry all of my Photo Proofs from 10 years to show to clients, important docs, drivers, app backups & yes music .... I'm a junky 32gb is almost perfect, but some more would be better & then my images don't have to be compressed as much.

The future is in the plams of our hands .... I believe it now for sure

Sugarsync gives you 5gb free. Love how it auto uploads every pic i take and auto syncs them with my computer.

Please use my link if anyone signs up. We will both get 500mb more free.

check box.net when I bought my touchpad i got 50gb account for free that i wont use.

As somebody said earlier, I like the speed of local files & I'm not going to put them in a place like that anyway. Sometimes when I need to show them to clients I don't have a data connection anyway.

What you might want to do is go through your files and clean out the "dead wood" so to speak. I am a DIGITAL PACKRAT and I like to have a lot of stuff on my phone....you never know when you will need it right?.

I ask myself "When was the last time I viewed those photo's?, listened to that music?, watched that video?". If it is more than a month or 2, then obviously it is just taking up space and I copy it to my laptop or if it is something I really want to keep I can dump it to DropBox I will have it at my fingertips.

I like the Google Music idea, but, if I am in a 3G area or I don't have access to WiFi, I would get frustrated.

I just checked...I have 11,588 files on my SD Card and I am using 26GB. That is EVERYTHING on my card....cache, temp, drivers, ROMS, Music, Movies, Pictures, Video's, Data.

I am constantly cleaning off my SD

Google music has a cache option for when you don't have service? I mean this isn't a dead on solution but you should be able to access a good amount of music even without service.

I'm impressed you can fit all your MP3's onto 64gb I have and listen to way more than that haha.

Well, I actually paid for all my music....
