Has anyone been successful in getting one of these to work in their Xoom? If so how? I got one for Christmas and despite my efforts, it does not work. The Xoom does not recognize it at all. It was formatted to FAT32 and I tried to see if it would work with exFAT, but no luck either way. I have searched the forums and the web in general, but it seems this card is too new and no one really has much experience with them yet.

Hi I recently read a post by a member on ukhot deals about this said card I will post what he said and hope it helps but I doubt it from zachjeep's post above;:)
Loads of devices including SGS, SGS2, Motorola razor, sg nexus, some HTC devices support the 64gb but not in sdxc format. When you put the card in, if it says not working or not formatted etc you have to select format it. Then it will format it in fat32 format and then you can store and read the 64gb card. But it won't be the higher speeds of sdxc cards but lower speeds of sdhc cards. Remember if you format it into fat32 format then you lose the higher speeds of sdxc cards but you will get the 64gb to work on older hardware. But some phones might not be able to work out how many mins you got left on card for video recording etc. But works fine other wise as reported on androidnz blog which has detailed posts and videos of this working. Or in devices that support USB OTG like in many Samsung devices among others you could get a cheap USB OTG adapter for few pounds then connect flash drives / USB devices / USB hubs / memory card readers etc and use cheaper lower capacity microsdhc 32gb instead and no need to pull out battery etc to pull out cards and can easily load cards and copy files over etc. See androidnz blog for videos etc.

I purchased the SanDisk 64GB MicroSD SDXC version and my xoom was able to see all 59GB after format.. I formatted it initially with my Rezound, if that helps.

Several users of the unlocked international Galaxy Note also report that the SanDisk 64GB microSDXC works in their phones. Apparently the formatting process takes a little while, but it works.

If it's a SanDisk card then this may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508331
