I know there are numerous issues with 4.1.2 with the Note 2 and the S3 concerning the micro SD card. Right now I have a 2GB (no idea what the class is) SanDisk card in my note 2. I bought a 16GB class 10 lexar, and one day later I got the mounting issues where the phone would keep mounting and unmounting the card. Couple of days later, the card was totally unreadable by the phone. So I decided to take it out and thankfully it was still readable on the computer, so I gave it to a friend, where the card works flawlessly on her BB. Anyway, I've read around that the samsung cards have been solving this issue... Is this true? I am definelty staying away from SanDisk and Lexar as those are the two clear brands with problems. Anyway thanks for any help in advance!
I've been running a 32gb PNY SD card for months. Bought when I had my S2 then used it in my S3, did have an isuue with it on my S3 when I made a backup of the rom I was using but was able to completely restore it. Put it in my Note 2 when I got it back in April all has been good so far.

The red/grey sandisk cards in 8, 16, 32 and 64 gig capacities run fine. Rocking the 64 at the moment.
I had read somewhere a few months back that the Sandisk cards had issues with getting hot and failing but if I remember right it was the black class 10 onesthat where 16gb and higher. Something about them not being able to handle the faster read/write speeds in the S3 and probaly in the Note 2. I'm very happy with my class 10 32gb PNY.

I am running an old Samsung 32gb class 10. Had it over a year and it made the jump from the old MT4GS and into the GN2. I have not seen a problem yet.

I don't have any problem with my 64 GB class 10 SanDisk card.

Wow, a lot of you use the SanDisk which I am trying to avoid haha. Maybe I'll go for the Samsung cards. I don't understand why there hasn't been an update yet. Frying a memory card is a big deal in my point of view...

Ok so im thinking of buying a 32g sd for this phone cuz i really wanna put all my music on my phone and i have like 10g of music, wondering how well it would work, Ive bought an 8g and 16g sandisk at walmart and both have worked great, anybody using a 32g on their s2?? What kind? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I'm using one... the speed isn't great but for music and videos and also for nandroid backups and such, speed isn't so much of an issue. I got it on sale from Newegg (I think the brand was A-Data or something like that) for $40, but I got it a while ago.
I have a Samsung class 4 32gb and I only have like 3gbs left on it. I have used it for the last few months in my T989 with zero issues
Just bought an 32gb Class 10 Samsung micro SD from Amazon for $50. Swapped it into my phone this morning. No problems, speeds are class 10 or better (see pic using SD tools app).
i have both the 32 GB and currently using the 64 GB as my daily driver
they both runs great
the speed of the SD is not determined by size, but by its quality and Write Speed
there is a sticky with benchmarks you can see which cards performs better

No problem with my 32GB Sandisk. About to jump onto the 64GB train
32gb all the way!
I bought 2 x 32GB cards (1for my GS2 and 1 for my gf's GS2) 28 each on ebay... Class 4 though, but works awesome. Great for titanium backups/music...going on vacation prob buy a 64GB for vid and pics.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming 128 GB microSD later this year
hope the prices are not insane, the price for the 64 GB i paid last year was pretty crazy already, if the 128 GB cost more than $300 i think i'll pass
I have a Samsung 32GB class 10 that I bought at frys for like a total of 35$ and havent filled it up. I put all my apps like mc3 asphalt 6 and all those big games on my sd card. And then I have like 16GB of music on my ext card and the rest I just use it for like nandroids, roms and theme back ups and and place for some video recording.

That's only a class 4. There were a couple deals with higher classes for around the same price. I would suggest going at least class 6. I think the max that our phone writes is 8? Not sure on that one.. I have a class 10 but i normally use a usb adapter to transfer files which is blazing fast compared to the data cable way.

Try to leave the card in the phone and use a cable instead. The more you handle the card the greater the risk of ruining it. It's not Note2 specific... the same goes for all phones.

Do you have any data to back up your claim? Or is this your personal observation, if so where and how did you base your observation?
I have had no problems with SanDisk sdcards; in fact, from what I understand, SanDisk is the industry standard. I have had more than a few sdcards and SanDisk has been the most reliable over the years. Just my observation.
I've had the same scan disc ultra class 10 since I got my note 1 and it's held up great. I also have a Samsung class 10 and it's held up great too.

I can back this up... my SanDisk 64GB UHS-1 MicroSDXC died right at about 3 months. Writing to it/formatting it even on a PC caused it to get so hot it was painful to the touch. The good news is that SanDisk has excellent customer service and my new replacement is arriving UPS today.
Because of this, I've also bought a 64GB Samsung class 10 UHS-1 MicroSDXC and will be using it in my phone as my daily driver. I'll put the SanDisk in my GoPro or something else.
** EDIT ** I just wanted to add that I own a LOT of SanDisk microSD cards 32GB and smaller, and they have never given me a bit of problem. It's only the 64GB specifically that lots of people seem to have trouble with (based on my experience and Amazon reviews).
I just bought a SanDisk MicroSDXC 64gb and I've used it for a few days. It seems to be working fine at the moment, but if anything changes or if a issue arises, I'll post it here.
I formatted it to FAT32, instead of just leaving it as EXTFAT (look for a Fat32 converter on google). I've also transferred around 10gb or data to it on one go, and it seems to be holding up.
I very much hope that it doesn't die on me, but I have also read that people may have issues. Best thing to do is to back up your stuff every now and then.

If you haven't bought a card yet, buy the Samsung Class 10 card. It seems the speed is almost twice as fast as the SanDisk Class 10. I am using the SanDisk 64gb class 10 now and I wish I would have gotten the Samsung instead because of the huge speed difference.

You guys do all know that sandisk buys there memory from samsung there using last years technology while Samsung sd sds are this year thus why the Samsungs are twice as fast

I currently have an old 6gb SanDisk sdcard I got a few years ago which works well for me.
Although I've been wanting to upgrade to a 32 or 64gb sdcard. I've noticed people having issues with sdcards like the phone won't recognize or it unmounts rapidly.
I was wondering what you guys use that's most stable for you. Do you guys use SanDisk, Samsung, etc memory cards? Post model or anything that works.
Thanks in advance.

Do you guys see speed difference using a class 4 & a class 10 on a daily activity?
How can you see the speed of a memory card? Is it by downloading things? Or how responsive things in the memory card are when they're being used?

If you have a micro center nearby, just get their store branded one. I paid 19.99 for a 32gb class 10 with a walk in exchange / lifetime warranty. Best store in the world lol.
Works great, speed as advertised, and best of all its an actual brick and mortar location. Name branded ones cost twice as much and have like a 1 yr warranty. Easy choice if you ask me

I have a 32gb Samsung class 6 and a 64gb Sandisk class 10, both are the ush1 or whatever it is. The Samsung one is so much faster! And not that the 64 had more stuff on it, Samsung was fastest even when it was packed full of stuff. I personally am not pleased with the Sandisk performance.
