Before I had gotten my Droid DNA, I ordered a 64GB Samsung class 10 card.
I'm having trouble getting it to work in my Spectrum though. At first neither my Spectrum running stock ICS nor my Fascinate running AOKP with 4.2 would read it. They would both try to format it and fail. I popped it into a Windows 7 laptop at work and it offered to format it EXFAT but the Spectrum wouldn't read that either. I tried a formatter utility and did it fat 32 but still the spectrum wouldn't read it. So finally I tried it from a computer running ubuntu and did mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0 and now my Fascinate with 4.2 would read it just fine, but the Spectrum still would not. Every time it goes in my Spectrum it says "Blank SD" and when I try to format it, it acts like it is doing it and then gets "Blank SD" again.
So I've tried these two commands
mkfs.vfs -s 32 -S 512 /dev/mmcblk0
mkfs.vfs -s 32 -S 1024 /dev/mmcblk0
The first one gives me 62GB and the second gives me 58GB both work fine in the Fascinate with 4.2
Any other ideas? Unfortunately my windows computer has a SD card reader that is incompatible with the card it sees it as a 1MB card. Some googling shows me that it is a typical response for an older card reader prior to SDXC.
I have a linux laptop with an SD card reader running either the most recent or second most recent release of Ubuntu so most of my work will be done there.
