    I originally formatted my 64hb card using Mini Aide Fat32 on my laptop, and my Z10 recognized it as 64gb just fine. Once I started filling up the SD card and the closer I got to 29.9(the actual usable amount of 32) my SD card became unstable. I could no longer install apps or store videos and pictures. I had to reformat card using my phone, and it will only format it as a 32gb card. Anyone found a solution to this? Is there a new leak that will allow the phone to format cards as 64gb now? Running 10.2.1.176 and a STL100-4. Any help?

    I formatted my 64 GB card in the Z10 when I got the phone, so that was an older OS release in June. It has about 45 GB of stuff on it and I haven't had any problems. I remember reading about people having issues with formatting on with newer OS releases, but I haven't had to try formatting since. I'm running on 10.2.1.1925 and I've had no issues in general. Might be worth giving that a try.

    I read and took to heart the CrackBerry blog post about using 64GB cards -- namely format it in your device to avoid issues. I did so, and I've had over 50 GB on at one point, with no issues. So, I'd recommend trying that. If you still have a problem, it may be the card itself.

    So I saw a thread they advised that the leak I have has a known issue with formatting above 32gb through the phone, so my only option was to format it again to FAT32 on my pc. It worked, and I now have 40gb stored as a test with no lag. Don't know what happened, but at least it's fixed. Thanks for your help guys!

    The leaks typically didn't handle 64gb cards well for me, but the official 10.2+ releases worked fine and after that for me on Verizon. Hope when official 10.3 comes out, I get the same result.
