Help Peculiar behavior with large SD card.

This post is just a report of curious behavior, not a request for help.

I've seen both here and elsewhere that people have had success using 64g SD cards. I had an odd experience with one today. My phone is rooted but running the Sprint stock rom. I've had an 8g card in it and had no problems. Today I put in a 64g and when I rebooted I had no phone signal. Also, I kept getting a message that the SprintOptimizer (plus some other word I forget) had stopped working. Oh, and the phone DID see the card.

I shut the phone down, took the card out, reseated it and tried again. Same story. I formatted it. Same story. When I put the old 8g card in everything is peachy keen; strong phone signal, no problems with SprintOpitmzerWhatever. While the 64g would be fun to have I'm sure that I can live pretty well with "only" 32. It would have been cool, though, to have my 42g of music on the phone.

I'm just curious to know if anyone else has seen this problem. I use the phone with Ting which is another vendor that uses the Sprint network. Their tech support is excellent but the person I spoke with hadn't ever seen a problem like this.

yes a 64g card uses a slightly different technology then a 32g card and thus the og evo does not support a 64g card. it only works up to a 32g card. there is no way around it unfortunately.
