Lumia 810 vs 64Gb microSD. Vote!

[Robert Novak1]

The poll options should be
1. I tried 1 SD card and it worked
2. I tried more than 1 SD card and the last one I tried worked
3. I have tried 1 or more SD cards and none have worked.

Ive used 2 different 64gb microsd cards and they both worked. I didn't know this was an issue

It's pretty random. Some people the SD cards are a disaster, some it's fine, some land somewhere in the middle.

I carry an iPod around because the music on my phone is a disaster and I've tried all supposed solutions.

Please, cast your vote. So far the "it works" option is winning 8x0.

It's not an applicable poll. The card works for videos, pictures and I can put music on it. However, the music creates endless duplicates and takes over 48 hours to load.

The problems with duplicates and slow-loading are not related to the SD card or phone's hardware. That's WP8's fault. There are ways to make it better or more tolerable. Check out these tips:

Yeah, I've been trying stuff since last night because I'm giving my phone one last chance before I bail on WP8 for good.

Now I have two SD cards that don't work at all. The music is on the cards. The phone does not read the music on the cards.

You are correct, it's not the cards. The phone is just kind of a ****ty phone

I understand your frustration. It sucks when you get a gadget, then you find out it cannot do something it should. The platform is still in its infancy and lacks some features that are commonplace in the industry. I hope you can find solutions to at least some of the issues with your phone. Please, keep us posted.

I was planning to get an Android phone, but because I know a little C#, I decided to try WP8, instead. I might try to make an app someday.

In my experience the SD cards that support UHS-I do not work on the Lumia 810. I have not tried them with the Amber update, they might be fixed now.

update - UHS-I still does not work in Amber update.

Some people have said exactly the opposite, that is, UHS-1 cards should be favoured.

UHS-1 was never recognized by my phone

So you tried it again with the new firmware?

 

[dainla]

Oh no, I am waiting on the new firmware because I have a Mac

The wording of the Poll is biased - the "YES. One card eventually worked!" answer makes it sound like everyone who uses a 64GB micro sd on it has to sort through several micro sd cards before finally finding one that worked. I only bought ONE 64GB microsd for it - a SANDISK class 10 I believe, and it worked on the first try. I didn't even realize not working was a possibility.

 

[WPhoney]

Some people had to try different cards.

As of now, 9 out of 10 people had success with some 64Gb microSD! Now I have a question to these very fortunate souls.

How much music do you have in your 64Gb SD? Less than 10Gb? More than 30Gb?

The reason why I ask is because I came across this lengthy discussion about 64Gb card on Nokia forums and a few people said that their 64Gb card only worked properly when they had less than 10Gb of tracks. Be able to carry my 50Gb music library in my phone is very important to me. If Nokia cannot deliver such a simple feature, I'll have to go with Android. :unhappy:

My SD space is about 45GB utilized - and it's mostly used with video - and only about 8GB of music media on it (of which most are audiobooks that I swap out, and some podcasts - I have a separate iPod for my music - prefer to use the iPod for music for my own reasons). No problems whatsoever.
I'm curious though - what exactly do you mean by "not working properly"?

Freezes, Crashes, minute-long lags when playing/stopping/pausing/skipping tracks. Things like that.
