64gb sd support?
- Thread starter sparkerjc

I really wish that all the cell manufacturers would just have a small point saying "64GB sd card support (with FAT32 formatting)"
It is so annoying to see so many people saying stuff like "Only 32GB?? Not buying the phone anymore
"
They don't realize that every size of SD card works with almost every phone out there as long as it is correctly formatted. I do not even understand why people care so much about NTFS and exFAT support.... the speeds are still great and the only limitation is the 4GB single file size. Even a 1080p mkv rip of an extended LOTR movie is 3.95gb.

They'll prolly support exfat format. Recording a 1080p video on a average microSD is not very benificial at all.

You have A and B, but not C. The important part is the bitrate. I could encode LOTR to 1GB, still 1080P, but the bitrate is going to be really low and not look so good.
But on topic, I'm fairly sure for the average person, you aren't going to run into the 4GB wall when recording. Not unless you're doing one entire take of a concert or something
For me its January 15th!

Am 95% sure the XZ supports exFAT?You have A and B, but not C. The important part is the bitrate. I could encode LOTR to 1GB, still 1080P, but the bitrate is going to be really low and not look so good.

Oh very true. I did not even think about video recordings. It would probably take a pretty long video to take up more than 4Gb of space.. I recorded an entire demolition derby and my 16gb micro sd ran out of space before i got any file size warnings

Nope. I had an Xperia T and without root or bootloader unlock to load extra drivers it is completely impossible to get exFAT drives to mount on the Xperia T.
I haven't tried the Xperia Z yet since I don't have a microSD to SD-adapter but I'm almost completely sure it still won't work.
Evidence that the Xperia Z supports 64GB microSD cards:
Mine is a Sandisk microSDXC 64GB card.
When I first inserted the card into the phone, it would say that the card is not supported and asked if I wanted to format the card. When I select the "OK" option, it formats the card and it's all ready to be used.

Can you let us know which file system is used on your card ? i.e ( FAT32/exFAT etc ).
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks in Advance.
How do I check which file system the phone has formatted the card to? Any tool that can do so?
put memory card in to card reader ->(make sure pc is on:silly
start->my computer -> drive E->right click ->properties-> system files : ......

if you have a terminal emulator you can using fdisk.
Or just plug it in your computer then mount as mass storage when the drive is shown on my computer it should have a label of the filesystem on the description.

Do you know this for a fact? Has anybody actually tested this on any of the prerelease versions of the phone?
This would make me even more tempted to pre order it be for release. If you have any links to any test of this, it would be great1Do you know this for a fact? Has anybody actually tested this on any of the prerelease versions of the phone?

I'm using a 64GB SanDisk MicroSDXC card in my ZL right now.1
I can now confirm the xperia Z is working with a 64GB micro SD card. I work at vodafone HQ in London, we have the final version of the device and we are currently testing the device with our network and apps ect. My boss was demonstrating the device to interns and other technical officals, and when i went on his demo device, i seen that he had a 64GB class 10 HDHC micro sd card. I think its due to the way the card is formatted, i think he formatted using exFAT, and NOT fat32, i am yet to confirm this but this is amazing news!!
