Upgrade SD card - myTouch 4G Accessories

Looking for suggestions. first of all, has anybody filled up the packaged 8gb memory on your phone? and if you've upgraded your SD card, please let me know what kind and how much, I saw a 16gb mircroSDHC from newegg but the reviews were not so great:
*well apparently I cannot post outside links
but here is the item number from newegg.com N82E16820139121

I upgraded to a Winston 16GB Class 10, I got about 4GB's left due to music and movies

Upgraded to a WinTec 16GB class 6 on the first day! It worked awsome!

using the 16gb sandisk that came with my HD2...works fine, (didn't work for crap in the HD2 though). I do not keep a lot of music on it anymore now that I use Slacker almost exclusively...but I do have a couple movies on there at the moment.
I am using the 8GB that came with my MT4G in my HD2 to run Android (works fine as well)
I'm sure you shouldn't have a problem with anything up to a 32gb...just buy from a respectable seller, I have heard a lot of horror stories about cards off ebay

cool, thanks fellas, looks like I'll just go with a 16gb gonna go for a class 10 one.

i'd recommend class 6 since the hardware can barely read as fast as a class 10 card.
but if you wanna spend the extra bucks on wasted speed, go ahead =P

I took the 16gb class 6 sd that came in my Fender mytouch and popped it in. Ive got about about 4.8gb left with music, movies and roms on it. Since there arent any roms that use ext or swap yet, theres really no way to tell how well it functions other then the music and the movies play fine lol

actually I dont, so I'll save some monies and go with a class 6

I bought a 32gb memory card class 4 from Adorama for 99.99 with free shipping. Got it and made sure I ran a speed tester on it and it passed. No complaints... however took forever to arrive lol I'm a music junkie and I was about dead by the time I got it because by then I had already sold the one preinstalled.

Just kinda agreeing with agentaaron, my 16gig that came with my hd2 didnt work so well with the hd2 but it loves the mytouch..cant figure it out as I thought it as a defective card...but works just fine.

ok, so I got a 16gb card class 10 for 30 bucks from the egg, can I just copy/paste everything over from my stock card onto the new one and my phone should work just fine but with the extra storage space correct?

yup, thats what I did, no issues so far

1) Copy your whole card to your HDD
2) Download Astro from Market
3) Open Astro, hit Menu, Tools, SD Card Usage
4) Find out what is taking up all the room
5) Use your noggin to delete what YOU think you don't need
6) Remember that you made a backup
Back OT:
I've narrowed down my choices for my new 16GB card to the Wintec Class 10 on Newegg for ~30 or the Komputerbay Class 6 for ~40. Only the reviews so far are making it a tough decision. Will you guys with either card please revisit this thread next week and post your findings after repeated use?

Posting Findings
Got my 16GB Wintec Class 10 in the mail on Friday.
Tested with CrystalDiskMark 64-bit using the prepackaged SD adapter in my laptops SD slot 3 times each.
Sequential Reads 13MB/s+
Sequential Writes 11-12MB/s
I'm impressed. I will continue to use and report back findings.
Going to get my wife one for her MT4G and another one for the Nook Color (X-mas gift) I will be getting.
EDIT:
Tested the stock SanDisk 8GB Class 4 that came with the phone:
Sequential Read : 11 MB/s
Sequential Write: 5.3 MB/s
slightly above the Class 4 rating. Going to keep this card as my 'Movies' card for long trips and such.
Tested my Transcend 8GB Class 6 from my G1:
Sequential Read : 12.5 MB/s
Sequential Write: 6.0 MB/s
Just meeting Class 6 requirements. Will put my daughter's movies on it.

32GB microsd class 10

Anyone got 32GB microsd class 10 for their Note? If so where did you get it and how is it? I found Samsung ones on Amazon but even though it says that it is class 10 people are claiming that speeds are more like class 2. So, I want to get one but want one that was tried and works. Thanks!

Can't comment on that card but did get a Samsung 16GB class 10 and then found out (after I'd ordered it) that class 4 are the best for phones as you tend to be writing mixed content. Apparently the c10 cards are not optimised for this and can be slower than c4. I can say that I recently connected my Note as a USB device to write a 2.5GB video to my SD card and got over 10MB/sec so am very happy to have gone for the c10 version.

Are you sure /sdcard/ is the path of the external sdcard?
The picture attached is not the mentioned sd-card
Yes, that's the correct path.

Mujja,
/sdcard/ is not external sdcard for SG Note. It is /sdcard/external_sd. As proof, check its size is not 16 GB (14053 MB) but more 12 GB (11168 MB) that is equal to the 16 GB of the phone minus memory allocated to the system.

Careful! I have ordered one of these (Lexar 32GB Class 10) from Amazon. At first it worked fine but after a few days the phone started showing "SD Card Damaged" and it wouldn't access it at all. Formatting didn't help. Yet, it would work just fine in an USB adapter in a PC...
The weirdest thing is that the EXACT same thing happened with my second Note (I returned the first one to Expansys and got one from Amazon.de £70 cheaper . No comprendo.
(When I checked kernel logs (dmesg) on the Note, there was a problem right on the block layer... It couldn't read the raw device (sdc))
Exactly the same problem with the Lexar 32GB Class 10 for me as well in both the GNote and GS2. Never had a problem with any form of SD card in the past. RMA'd the Lexar and will probably try a Samsung Class 10 next.
Hey all in this amazing forum which i was looking for now
I'd like to know which memory i should buy and whoch class cuz i found good deal for samsung 32 gb class 10 and i hope that it's working with full speed with samsung note

I did start a thread long time ago

There is no real advantage of class 10 over class 4 in a mobile phone, where random read write is the key thing.
However I have seen good class 10 cards with good random read write speeds.
See towards the last few pages of the above thread.
If u can find the random read write of samsung class 10 , it would be great to know.

SanDisk microSDXC 64 GB works

Hello!
just wanted to share the following:
The SanDisk microSDXC 64 GB Card works in the Atrix.
You have to reformat it in the phone, because the Atrix like others doesnt understand the ExFat-Filesystem.
Right now im rebuilding my webtop2sd partition, the SanDisk seems to be a little faster than my old transcend 32gb.
This is good to know. I'm getting ready to upgrade my 16gb sdcard and have some money to spend so I'll keep this in mind. Thanks man, good share.
How much did that cost?

Thanks I was thinking about giving one a try but it's alot of money to risk. Nice one, I shall order mine today.
I got it for 85 € here in germany, that equals 108 $.
In my opinion thats a reasonable price for that.
Man...i remember spending that much on my first usb 1gb flash drive lol
I don't remember how much I spent for my first two 5" floppies.

You're out of luck if you want a Class 10 card. As far as I'm aware, only Class 6 MicroSDXC cards are available at present.
You can buy them from Amazon in the UK and, I expect you'll find them on Amazon elsewhere as well.
As somebody who can remember when we paid £500.00 for a 1GB hard disk at our work (this was perhaps 15 years ago?), seeing 64GB storage in a tiny MicroSD format for less than a hundred quid still makes me shake my head in disbelief!

Help me find a good microsd card?

Hello Let me get staight to the point....So after 3 months of owning my s2 I just realised that the sd card in it was a 8gb class 2 micro sd card. And that just won't do! So I've been scouring the internet for some kind of a good sd card. Of course I want the best for the best right? So I've been trying to find a 16GB class 10. But I don't want to pay too much money for it.
So I've found this sd card:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0054KHY8C/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_g147_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Y1NVT4GBQ6KCPJC1XEG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294
And this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00698ZUHK/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_g147_i7?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Y1NVT4GBQ6KCPJC1XEG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294
So can anyone help me choose a right one? and maybe provide some links? I would really be glad if it was on amazon.co.uk only
Thanks a lot
i don't think that a class 10 card will be that much different from class 6 card for use with the SGS2.
you better stick with SanDisk Or Samsung cards , even if they are a little expensive but they are good quality.
Good supplier good brand name is all i would bother with . Been running a no name class 2 16Gb for months no problems . But it would have been a own brand product from one of the big outlets probably Amazon .
jje
Class 4 is fast enough I think. Using a sandisk 32gb class 4 with no issues at all regarding read/write speed.
Here's my 8gb integral ultima pro class 10, its pretty fast.

Stick with sandisk or transcend and you won't go wrong. In terms of class, i don't think it will make that big of a difference on your phone. Just stick above class 4 and you should be fine.
Hey
I got one of these. its a great cards for the money and its from a trustable source as there are many fakes out there

I am waiting for this one to my S2: SanDisk 32GB Mobile Ultra Micro SD (SDHC) Card - Class 10 UHS-1
what do you think?
Definitely one of the best! Good choice. I'm waiting for the same one!
Sent from my GT-I9100
I would never buy anything other than sandisk. Got countless ones knocking around in various sizes and classes, been trodden on, dropped in water, in and out of different phones, into readers upside down and back to front and never an ounce of problems. Rock solid.
I can just confirm that, tried with others but finally I have always bought sandisk. Now the only other card is 8GB which I get in Nokia 5800 sales pack.
Sent from my I9100 @syiah5 using xda premium app
I bought http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...s/MB-MSBGA/EU?subsubtype=micro-sd-accessories and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I had crazy luck with the store which was selling it under the real price and bought it for only ~25 euros. Two days later (and ~20 more sold microsd cards to all my friends) they corrected the price.
Anyways, being class 10, this card is awesome. Read speeds are very high, and I don't see any difference between the internal memory and this card either, although I haven't done any real tests, just the everyday usage.
Also, I have huge amount of it filled with music and pictures, and the phone seems to cope with it just fine, so I give you full recommendation for this one.
PS: It came with two year warranty, even here in Serbia!
Always buy Sandisk Also I think the class difference is only apparently when taking HD videos to prevent stuttering when recording.

The class rating of your micro SD card generally defines how quickly information can be read from or written to the card.
If you’re recording a lot of high-definition videos and snapping high-megapixel shots, Class 6 and above is enough.Higher number will ensure that your device won’t slow down between shots.

If only I could have waited....I just bought a Sammy 32gb Class 10 card for $30 shipped, just $20 and I could have gotten double the storage and a faster card even though this one is just a Class 6. Jump on it guys, this is the best prices I've seen this go for yet!
Just bought two Hopefully can flip the second one to make mine super cheap. Came just in time too, getting a galaxy S3 soon and gonna move my old 16GB into my new nook color.
just ordered mine!!!
How does this compare (other than obviously double the size) to my 32Gb Class 10 Micro SD card? Is this thing faster than my card, even though this new one is a class 6?

I went ahead and ordered this one. I had a $25 Best Buy gift card that I was waiting to use, so with tax this card was only $29!
My current card gets 8.9 MB/s Write and 20.8 MB/s Read. If this new card doesn't match those numbers, I'll just Ebay this thing and make a bit on it and keep my current card. If this new card is faster, it'll pair quite nicely with my 32Gb Blue SG3 that I ordered! Thumbs up to the Op, thanks!
Doesn't look like we even have these in Canada. Boo!

DAMNIT! I gotta stay out of this forum. Great deal, but I need to hold off if I can. My uncle works for a company in Cali that makes SD cards. He is sending me a couple 32GB Micro SD's for free. Love to buy this, but a free 32 will do me just fine.
horrible write spd. especially since we're dealing with 64gb it matters much more now. i'll pass

Prove it.
i think its in reference to the class 6, I dont understand it myself but the card boasts up to 30 megs, but then calls itself class 6. Reading on Sandisk's website it says that the "class" rating is "worst case" scenario. The Class 6 seems to be geared for specs on video data while the 30 megs a sec spec talks about picture data.
could anyone clear up the info? ty
The SGS3 supports exFat, the recommended format to get the maximum speeds from these cards.
Other phones using this card were or are formatted as Fat32 which are not the correct format to take full advantage of this cards perks.

that is supposed to be uhs-i capable and the 30mb/s it's advertising is for the read speed. that's just strategy for companies, because they know not everyone sees the * and then reads the fine print for its description.
and as it says in sandisk's website the write speed is slower, that's where the class rating comes in it will write at speeds it is rated.
30mb/s read speed is achievable if the gadget reading the card is also uhs-i compliant.
the class ratings shows that their cards will reach it's class rating's read and write speed.knowing sandisk their speeds usually exceed their class rating's speed. class 6 will read and write at least 6MB/s, class 10 will read and write at least 10MB/s

according to that only the 4gb is class 6.
8gb and up are all class 10.
btw, op's pic is different from sandisk's website.
this is his:

this is the official sandisk's:
it doesn't have the 1 that is enclosed, which is UHS Speed Class 1 (U1)
I was reading this
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1996/kw/class
and it talks about
Rated Speed (e.g. 15MB/s, 30MB/s, etc.) is maximum speed of the card and also what you would expect to approximately see in typical usage of writing or reading files on the card. This measurement is pertinent to still photography, especially for taking pictures with high resolution and/or saving in RAW format where the files created are very large.
and
Speed Class is a minimum speed based on a worst case scenario test. The Speed Class is important for video mode or camcorders, where the device is actually saving a steady stream of data.
It definitely is worded weird, maybe to confuse but it kind of sounds like 30MB/s is what you "could" see under optimal conditions where the device supports such speeds too. But, what do i know.

theres nothing to prove its listed on sandisk website and everywhere amazon
up to 30 mb/s read (reviewers get around 18mb read)
up to 30 mb/s write (reviewers get around 8mbs write)
I got one of these about 1 1/2 months ago when they were on sale, packaging said class 6.

Thank you.
thanks OP...jus put my order in...been waiting on a good deal for a 64gb
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
But its not a Class 10?
Does it have HDMI?:angel:
Ordered.
This is pretty cheap at this time.
You can get a class 10 on amazon for $53
Just ordered mine! $43 w/tax
Will we really notice differences in performance between class 10 and 6 from our phone? I dont really mind the time for file transfering, but what about playing games, movie, saving video/pic to sd card, etc ?
Thanks
good thing is.... if you decide you want a class 10 instead you can go to a bestbuy store and return for instant credit instead of waiting a week to mail back and another 3-5 days for refund
Normally I would answer that with NO.
but these phones are "fast" enough that you might. but it is VERY unlikely you will see a difference in "phone" operations YOU WILL see a dramatic difference in phone to PC to phone transfers however. especially write speeds.

i looked at a few bench marks and its a difference of 2 mb/sec which is a huge difference in some applications, but it most cases not too big of a deal
I thought the SG3 could only handle 32gb microsd?
Damn, just realized this is only for BB.com and not BB.ca
That really sucks as I was going to buy one!
From what I understand Bestbuy has these marked wrong. sandisk does not make a class 6 SanDisk Ultra microSDX card.
www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/
I remember reading somewhere else when they had a similar deal and people were actually receiving a class 10 card.
I just ordered one...guess I will find out.
had so many rewardzone certificates built up and i just decided to use them all today! Such a great deal. IM SO HAPPYYY

It is a class 6 and has been discontinued. The deal for the class 10 you are referring to was on Amazon.

The class 10/UHS-1 you mentioned is SanDisk model number SDSDQUA-064G-A11A whereas this Best Buy deal is model SDSDQY-064G-A11A.
RadioShack has the faster one on sale for $39.99 but good luck finding one. You might be able to get Best Buy or someone else to price match the RadioShack deal though, I've checked Staples and Office Depot and although they both sell the faster card they don't carry it in store. This was on the phone though so you might have luck going into one of the stores and asking that they order you one and price match.
I was going to try visiting some local stores tomorrow, if I end up going I'll be sure to report back.
guess i should have posted this $47 class 10 deal (too late now)
http://slickdeals.net/f/5297680-San...SDXC-Card-with-Adapter-Class-10-U1-48-Buy-com
Just want to update everyone that this is indeed for a class 10 card. I went in and had them price match bby.com in store and when the class 10 card was scanned it was for the same sku. Model # on the package is: SDSDQUI-O64G-A11

I am going to say that you are right on this one... I already have the class 10 64gb but I ordered another one from Best Buy cause I had a bunch of reward zone coupons to use.... Read through the reviews and you will see that a few people mention that they also got a class 10 on the last deal which was $49.99 and Staples.com has had this error on their website for ages and they have different part numbers listed so they would not price match me from Amazon a few weeks ago but I just found out that theirs is a class 10 too and they had the part numbers screwed up but the pic showed a class 10?? Anyways, the class 6 cards were discontinued quite awhile ago and that's why you don't see Amazon selling them, just the class 10. Crossing my fingers but I am sure that we are getting a class 10 on this deal even though it says otherwise.... Only time will tell though and I will have mine on Friday so I will update.
SEE PIC ABOVE.... I would buy one now guys if you need one.... Also, look at the pic VERY closely on the 32gb version that is also on sale stated "class 6"
