Guest chs117 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Now that we have had a major revision to the h2, is there any chance of using a 128 sd card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r00tmydevices Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Does that mean 32GB is not the maximum size that H2 will recognise despite the manufacturer claims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Many people are using 64GB cards with not only the hudl2 but also the original hudl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had asked that question before ordering a 32GB microSD card specifically for use in my H2 as I already had a brand new unused 64GB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 As a guideline, I think the reason most manufacturers use 32GB as a maximum size for micro SD card, is that 32GB is the maximum size that SDHC cards go up to in "FAT32" format - beyond that, they're usually "exFAT" format, (a Microsoft format). I know that my Motorola Moto G 2nd gen ("XT1068") says 32GB is the maximum, but I use "Rufus" to format my 64GB+ SandDisk Ultra SDHC cards as "FAT32" with a 32KB block size, and the Moto G has no problem using the full capacity (I speak from thorough testing, as my current card is currently at 40GB usage, and I've never once had even a minor issue - all is flawless. As regards the Hudl 2 firmware, I can't comment as I don't have one, but I don't envisage a problem. This common, rather artificial limitation appears to be a result of over hesitancy of manufacturers to guarantee something that would mean user confusion (IE: they'd have to get into formatting tools and block sizes) - I think this is just a matter of keeping things simple for the consumer, and for the support staff who deal with the products. Try Rufus - it is superb - and remember - 32KB block size, FAT32 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r00tmydevices Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Try Rufus - it is superb - and remember - 32KB block size, FAT32 :) Thanks for the detailed reply. Do this with memorycard connected to a Windows machine or insert into H2 microSD slot and do this on the tablet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks for the detailed reply. Do this with memorycard connected to a Windows machine or insert into H2 microSD slot and do this on the tablet? You're most welcome. You do this on a PC, with the card inserted into a stand alone card reader (not the device). Rufus is a Windows program :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I thought 128s worked on the hudl2 already?P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert 64GB card into Hudl, accept offer to format it, wait 5 secs, use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
