Getting a 64 gb microsd-do I have to do anything?

[JnEricsonx]

I'm picking up a GN2 tomorrow at BB, and using the gift card you get for buying it Im getting a 64 gb Sandisk microsd which is on sale for like 50-60 bucks. Does anything special need to be done with it or can they just pop it in and bammo?

Hi

Put it in and format it using the phone

Menu
Settings
Storage
Sdcard - format sdcard

Then you should be good to go

Ok, that works. Secondary-question: Is this a good choice? I've been looking into getting the Note 2, and it going for 150+a 50 dollar giftcard which helps eat up some of the addon costs, I mean, I've seen some people have problems, and I can honestly say that the mess-up rate for my now near 2.5 year old Thunderbolt was maybe 1 in a 100. So, I'm just wondering.

The only reason I formated the SD card for my Note 2 was because it was exfat and some ROMs only worked with fat 32, it worked fine in the Note 2 as exfat.
Prior to that I never formatted the SD card in any of my other devices and never had a problem.

I'm using one on my SGN2 and had no issue. The only trouble I've had was when I was switching back and forth between Samsung Galaxy S3 as I had to format to avoid the battery draining ('Media' indexing issue), which is more of Android/Samsung issue than the memory card issue (Thought I would mention it to save some trouble in the future)

I bought a 32gb Samsung SD card, stuck it in the phone and it just worked. I didn't even format it.

Same here i popped a 64gb card and it was good to go. The only time I have to go to the settings is if I want to take it out.
