Yes, it should do SDXC just fine, even is compatible with the new 128MB micro SD card!

We're lucky if we get a phone with sd card slot let alone having the card come with it lol. I mean it's already 32gb on board.

I know so probably won't even need a card don't have one now on my 32 gig One. But I remember my EVO coming with an 8 gig but then I bought a 16 and was just saying I would rather have a card then the earbuds I probably won't use but cards are cheap if I do need one and lots of people like the ear buds.

Re: Micro SD card for M8

I need help. Coming from an original One X, I haven't used a memory card in quite a while. I'm taking delivery of an M8 next week and want to get a card to put some music on. What type of card do I buy? Let's say I'm on Amazon, how do I know what card fits this phone? Thanks!!

Amazon.com: micro sd

Just a "micro sd" search brings that up. Flipped through the first 3 pages and any of them will work. I am guessing a lot of the sandisk are up first because they are popular. I have always been a fan of sandisk cards in my dslr cameras so I wouldnt hesitate to buy them.

I know what you're saying and that was a long time ago in the mobile world. I haven't seen a high end phone come with an sd card in a few years. So I get it but your basing it on something that really isn't done anymore. Next thing you know people will 've complaining about the price of the phone that they are charging for giving away an sd. 32gb on board for most other high end phones are $650+ retail. 750 for iPhone. So I think we all can make it to buy our own.

Re: Micro SD card for M8

I am new to android OS, I have had an iPhone ever since the first one was released. How do I setup the SD card for music or movies? Do i have to create folders or just drag and drop files onto the card? any help would be greatly appreciated!

There's various ways. You can connect it to your computer and make folders and drag music. Play music now saves to sd if you want to use all access. And movies same way if you format the movie so the phone can read it! And play movies also saved to SD card now in settings

Thank you. I got some music and video's on my device. One thing I cannot figure out is uploading a book file. I have tried creating a "book" folder, but the apps don't recognize it. I have tried uploading .mobi and .epub versions of the book. Would you happen to know how to do that?

You should be a me to download a epub app that can read the book from the play store. You may have to see how the app looks for the file. Try saving it in the internal me or first to see if it works

Re: Micro SD card for M8

You know I want a 128GB MicroSD card. I spoke with HTC today about what type to buy.. I didn't think to ask about microSDHC and XC. Oops. But anyway, I did ask what Class (speed) of memory card the phone will handle.. obviously if it'll handle Class 10 and I see a good price I'd get it.. they told me they recommend "class 2". Holy slow! Not that it really matters that much, right? But I did a search on NewEgg.. all the Class2 cards are 32GB or less.

Should I ignore them and get a faster card? I want 128GB.

If you want any kind of performance from reading files off the SD card get a faster one IMHO. I use a class 10 and personally wouldn't use anything slower than that.

Re: Micro SD card for M8

Whatever you buy, don't buy generic brand SD cards. I have already burnt two 64 gb cards. These cards are slimmer (read flimsy) than the branded cards such as SanDisk and may not make proper contacts with the phone. You get error message "SD card was removed unexpectedly) few times and then the card is toasted for good. I have purchased SanDisk (I guess any brand will be fine) 64 gb card, Class 10, and never had the error message or card issue. Although not mentioned in the literature, I suggest formatting the sd card to Fat32 in your PC prior to using for better compatibility.

Took your lead and got that one but in 32gb. Got it in today and so far so good. The Sandisk one I had crapped out on me.

For all not accustomed to having the luxury of an SD card. You may find yourself accumulating more media on board than before. A really good file manager will be a big help and eliminate the need to connect with a computer.
ES File Manager is one of the best and free in the play store. Have fun.
