[Q] micro SD card swap - HTC Inspire 4G

I just purchased 32gb microSD card and I was about copy everything from the old one to the new and start using it. However, I forgot old one was a goldcard.
My questions is will I run into any, like rom flashing, issue new one not being a goldcard?

The gold card is only needed to root the phone the initially or if you revert back to stock and want to root again. You will be fine.

It's simple.....copy all contents from 16gb card (insert in phone...mass storage) to computer. Then insert 32gb in phone....mass storage and copy the contents of the 16gb card (wherever u saved it on ur computer) and paste them into the removable disk shown in my computer....

What brand did you buy? I'm having trouble finding a certified one, if there is one.

It doesn't say. All it says is: 32gb micro sdhc (10)

I have the San Disk 32Gb class 4 and I transfered all the information from my Kingston 16Gb class 4 card with no problem's at all, question I have is why you would purchase a 32Gb card that was not from a well known vendor? There are to many fake 32Gb card's floating around, especially on E-bay!!!

I agree! My room mate actually tuned me on to HD Tune. This program has a utility built in that will test, real-time, the write/read speeds on the card. Test it the moment you get it, for at least 20 minutes uninterrupted. If it doesn't match the specs it should, return it. If you use Ebay, I would suggest purchasing with paypal, as they have a buyer protection program which helps with issues of "fake" cards.
Sidenote: these cards aren't actually fake. They do work. the problem is they are using cheap parts and even cheaper labor for the manufacturing of these cards, so they may, and probably will fail. Either partly or all the way. what I mean by this is...For example.. you purchase a 32gb class 10 card... 2 months later, the card only reads as 27gb or some weird number. this is a fake. Still usable, but not what you paid for.

Good to know, thank you!

MOE,
Where did you get your 32GB class 4 card from? I see them out there on Amazon and eBay, but I'm having issues trusting them.

I bought a Patriot-brand 32GB class 10 from Amazon and it works well and is very fast. Search PSF32GMCSDHC10 on amazon

I just purchased a ADATA 32GB card and copied all my data and files over from my 8GB with no problem but when I first look at the data it's all there, then some videos and pictures aren't there, just a "!" and I can't access them. I've switched back to my 8, anyone think I have a bad card?

It's possible. I just ordered a 32GB Sandisk class 4 from Amazon.com. No issues with it. I trust nothing but Sandisk.

Yep, after 3 bad generic sd cards, sandisc is the only one that works. You were right!

[Q] SD Card class 2?

Hi!
Is it stupid to buy a SanDisk class 2 SDCH card for my Sensation? Or does it not matter as long as it is SDHC?
I realy don't want a slow card this time and this new sensation maybe handles faster ones than my old HD2 did....
Please help to buy the right card
stick with a MINIMUM of class 4.
The classification of card is how fast the card reads and writes. This will help you understand....
http://dcom.me/iS9nz
I would go with class 10, for write and read speeds if you plan on watching movies or putting alot of content on the card, usually the bigger the card the higher the class you want...I have a 16gb class 2 and got a class 10 instead because it would lag loading all mp3's and photos
I have a Class 2 32GB Sandisk card in my SGSII, its fine for recording and decoding 1080p video, I suspect the same will be true of the Sensation (can confirm later, my Sensation should be with me later today).
If the budget is less of an issue then obviously you're better off with a faster card (not in terms of in-phone performance, but certainly for PC-card transfers).
Amazon has 8gb class 10 for like $20

Hi!
I've found a SanDisk 16GB Class 2 Ultra .... is it ok? What does the ultra stand for... higher speed something....
Can you compare class 2 ultra with a pure class 4?
You can't go wrong with Class 10 just to be safe. I got a 16GB class 10 at Fry's for around $45.

Dont get a class 2 card......
I bought a 32GB Class 10 card. I bought this one.
The card needs special formatting in order for it to work in an Android phone properly. Otherwise it gets data corruption and eventually unreadable. Those instructions can be found here.
Once I did that it has worked flawlessly. No issues, fast data transfer and about 28.9GB of usable space. There are other Class 10 cards out there but I've seen issues reported on all of them. They may just need the same style formatting as this one.
DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT get less than a class 2 card. You will regret the time it takes to transfer files back and fourth and personally I don't recommend anything slower than a class 6. Here are some 16GB Class 6 cards for fairly cheap prices.

Does this apply for all SD cards or just yours? I'm thinking of doing this to my new SD card.

No, its vendor specific. Patriot cards are known to have issues on android.
Anyways, to your original question, anything but card capacity and class is irrelevant. The ultra is a marketing gimmick, nothing more.

Micro SDHC Card

I'm updating the puny 2Gb placeholder in my Atrix 2. I finally settled on a little known name , Dane Elec, and ordered it from New Egg. Cost me $55 shipped and it's a class 10 card. They are the company making the new Duracell flash units. When I get it installed I'll come back and do a review if anyone is interested
subscribed
Looking forward to your follow up.
I just ordered up a 32 gig class 10 as well. I was digging through all the data that seems to be split between the onboard and the sdhc card. I'm curious what happens with the various apps when you replace the card.

I'm pretty sure that if you mount both SD cards to your computer and copy everything from old to new, that the system has no problem carrying on with new card with more space. I have done this several times with Inspire 4G, did it once with Atrix 2 going from the stock 8 to a 16GB that I had, and will be doing it again soon with new 32GB.

So do I need to put the new card in and let the phone format it first or format it on the PC?
Let the phone format it, and then transfer the information to it. Good luck with the class 10 micro sd cards. People on the forum to include I are having issues with them. Supposedly going down to a class 4 and 6 will remove the problems the phone is having.
Taking pictures or recording video, the items will show up at as non readable. Everytime I take a pic the first pic is always bad, all of the others show up just fine. Gets annoying but i've managed to overcome it. Also when that happens all of the pictures you took after take a year to show up in the picture viewer. I have to reboot the device just to take a look at the ones I just shot.

Having a class 10 card in my phone, I concur. I have yet to get a class 4 or 6 card to replace it yet but I have heard that doing so will remedy the r/o issues the phone has. Gonna stop by Frys today and pick one up, maybe even a 16gb.

Some here, smooth sailings so far, but i don't have much on my sd card right now.
shoot, I already placed an order for a class 10, I just assumed it was higher quality, like the way cpu's are binned for speed.
Any recommendation on a specific card that works w/o trouble ?
I've been using a 16G sandisk class 6 card without any problems, glad I seen this thread because I was just about to order some class 10 cards. Guess I'll b holding off on that now.

i am using a sandisk 16 gb class 4 card that was really cheap on newegg with free shipping. i am not sure if the deal is still going on. there is a link below:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171486
I copied what I posted in another thread.
My experience has been just the opposite. I originally purchased a 16gb class 4 PNY card and I had the aforementioned read only issues. I then exchanged it for a 16gb class 10 PNY and all has been good since. and that has been about 3 weeks ago. Go figure?
New Question:
Could it be that different manufactures arrive at various class standards using different architecture? Maybe the same class of card from one manufacturer can act differently then another manufacturer? I think ultimately that it shouldn't matter which card we use if the software/hardware is correct, we should be able to put any "reasonable" card we like in the phone and it should work. Hopefully Moto will issue an update so the phones wont be so picky. By the way I love my Atrix 2 and have no desire to get anything else.

Its not that simple. It depends on the hardware.....my HD camcorder for example, it specifically states that it needs at least a class 4 card, otherwise the info cant be written to the card as fast as it needs to be and will error out. Im sure something similar is at play here. But with Motorola not specifying what class card its compatible with it becomes a trial by error. So far the most common thing among the many people who have had this problem is the class 10 card.

Yes I agree I have been playing with HD camcorders for a few years and I understand that the medium whether it is a card or a disc or tape needs to be able to keep up with data stream being sent to it. Im sure something similar is at play here as well but a faster card shouldn't give negative results? You are right that a camcorder has a "minimum" rating but although a faster card will not necessarily give any better performance it certainly shouldn't be worse or cause issues like it appears to on these phones.

Logical, but its not always like that. Example....in car audio, the head unit sends signal via rca's to an external amplifier, the higher voltage the signal, the more efficient the amp will be and the better it will sound. So logic will tell you if you can get an 8v signal to the amp then it should sound lovely since most signals are 1-2volts....well, if ur amp can only handle up to 6v signal then feeding it an 8v signal will cause the amp to go into protect mode and not work right.

I use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.1.8.0, based on recommendations on other xdadevelopers forums such as Inspire 4G. Supposedly does a more thorough format than the stock Windows 7 utility (certainly takes longer). Using this, I have had zero problem using Class 6 and Class 10 cards.

I had my hopes up for this to work... but sadly it does not. Using a PNY 16 gb class 10 card.
It's a bust on the Dane Elec class 10 card. It doesn't say what class it is at New Egg but has a prominent 10 in a circle. Turns out that is for the warranty. It's a class 2 card, goes back today. After reading all this I may step down to a class 4 or 6.
NewEgg has a class 4 32gb card for $41 shipped ordered that based on what I've read

[Q] 64GB micro SD?

Has anyone tried a 64GB microSD card in the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus?
I have a class 10 32GB one in there at the moment, but at £37 for a 64GB I'd love to expand it further, but I don't want to pay out for one if it doesn't work!
Does anyone know if 32GB is the most it will take, or can I get a 64GB one?
I would believe the 7.0 maxes out at 32GB. 64GB is SDXC, which isn't listed on any spec sheets, only SD and SDHC.
It works fine with 64 gb, mine does.
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk 2
altho it said max is 32... The 64gb work fine...
more importantly, where from at £37.00 ?
Sorry, Google Shopping showed £37 as a price for a 64GB MicroSD, but when I got round to actually looking properly, it was an incorrectly labelled standard SD card.
Amazon are however selling them for £60 now, which means the price is coming down slowly!
I have a 64gb in mine and it works just fine.
amazon were nocking them out at £42 last week - I only bought one because I didn't believe it was genuine, even though they were supplied by amazon I was still suspicious. I wish I had taken a chance and ordered 2 or 3, because sure enough they are genuine sandisk cards and work well in all my devices - that's my tab, my xperia arc s and my Archos 70 IT2, I wish I'd bought one for each
Be careful of Class 10 or UHS 1 cards!

Just wanted to post a follow-up in this thread. At the time of these messages, the Class 6 cards were out, and it appears that they do work.
However, it's now September, and Class 10 cards are out, and they DO NOT work. The GT 7.7 people discovered (and I just "accidentally" confirmed on my stock ICS P6210) that Class 10 64GB cards get irreparably damaged when used on our Tabs. I have Class 10 cards in my S3 and Galaxy Note, and they're fine, but my P6210 just ate one on the first large file write - as has been seen on the 7.7 tabs as well!.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460201&page=7 and other posts for reference.
I've just ordered a Class 6 64GB card from Amazon, and expect no problems with it - but be warned that many people are having problems with the Class 10 cards, on the 7.7 and (now) the 7.0+ tabs.
FWIW, YMMV...
U just got to format the card to a suitable format, mine runs just fine on fat32.

Hi, I apologize for the mistake in my previous post, she is currently using a regular SanDisk class 4 card, she had previously used the Mobile Ultra series class 10 though before she decided to use it in her T989 instead since she was having boot loop issues with the regular class 4.
I bought it from Best Buy in August when it was on sale for $40.
She had 1 issue with the card though, when she was in the process of moving the files and folders off of her pc, where she had copied the contents of the class 4 sd card she previously used in her SGS2, to her new class 10, SD card.
All was fine, until she had copied her NANDROID back up folder which was about 3 or 4 gb in size, everything else had copied over just fine.
When she copied her NANDROID back up folder to the Mobile Ultra card from her W7 laptop, where she had previously copied the class 4 card, and after one file couldn't be copied, the card became corrupted, and she couldn't read the card in her computer, phone or tablet, and formatting it didn't work at all. I even tried in my own device, and although I was able to read it, when she couldn't, it wouldn't format in my phone or tablet either.
In Windows, it said something about the file name being too long, and it would not let either of us rename or delete the file because it said that it was write protected, (it wasn't) and then sometime after that, the file name had some gibberish and was 6gb in size and we could not format it at all.
This happened with both sd cards, and so, I took them back to Best Buy and got another Mobile Ultra card that she now uses in her phone, and since then she hasn't had any issues. I also bought a USB card reader, and used the new card with it just in case the issue was with the sd card adapter it came with.
That said though, the Mobile Ultra cards, worked just fine in her T869, it was just one file that was inside the NANDROID back up folder that corrupted both cards.
I recently ordered a Team 64GB MicroSDXC card from New eggs for my Galaxy Tab Plus. Like the SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC card, the Team card is also UHS-1. I installed it in my Tab Plus, where it initially recognized it.
As I started transferring some music files, the SD card stopped responding and the dreaded "damaged SD card message" popped up. I pulled out the SD card and tried to see if I could re-format it. However, in horror, none of my Windows 7 PCs could recognize it in my SDXC card reader; even Disk Management wasn't seeing anything! At that point, I concluded that my card was toast and was ready to return it. However, I decided to try to see if I could get it to work again before returning it, considering it was brand new.
I read through the thread on 64GB cards over at the Galaxy Tab 7.7 forums (as we share the same hardware and 64GB card issues) and found that some had found success with re-creating the partition table in Linux. I used Gparted, which saw the Team 64GB card, but had some initial difficulties, as the card would not stay mounted/visible for too long. After several inserts, I finally was able to wipe the corrupted partition on the card and used Gparted's option to re-create the partition table. After doing this, the dismounting issue disappeared, but Gparted still had trouble creating a full FAT32 partition on the card. I then tried zeroing it out with dd (same command that bex0rs used for his SanDisk 64GB card in the 7.7 thread). After a lengthy process, Gparted was finally able to create a full 64GB FAT32 partition without issue.
The Team 64GB SDXC card was then able to be seen by my Windows 7 PCs and I was able to transfer over 30 GB of content to the card without issue. Even my retired DROID Incredible and Nook Color were able to read and write to it fine. However, I have not tried it in my Galaxy Tab Plus, in fears that it would kill it, so I'm keeping it in my DROID Incredible for the mean time.
In short, if you want to try to salvage your dead 64GB MicroSDXC cards, you can try this. But it definitely seems that UHS-1 cards are the culprit with the Galaxy Tab Plus/7.7 tablets and should NOT be used in those tablets.

hi i have tried 64 gb class 10 ones since there was no class 6 available at the time, and the card always got damaged after the approximately 30gb of data was copied to card. But now I can see class 6 ones on online shop but really want to make sure whether it works or not since this is also uhs-1 card. If any one of you have tried class 6 SanDisk with more than 30 gb of data then please tell me about your experience.
Does P6200 support exFAT format of 32G micro SD and be used by bitcomet to write a 10G video file?

Anyone using a 128GB sdcard

Just wanted to know if anyone is using a 128GB micro sd /xd card with the s5
if so have you had any issues? are you rooted? do you have an ext4 partition?
Im thinking of getting one this week using a 28GB ext4 partition and 100GB of extra storage and copying / expanding the partitions I have on my current 64GB variant
I'm using one, with no problems

Using a cheap eBay 128gig got it for $30 works great pictures load a tad slow but not bad for the price
Oh didn't know the S5 supported SD cards that large.
I'd be very very surprised if that's really 128GB.
I would soak test it before you put data on above about 4-8GB. I would also have a good close look at the partition table.
Just speaking from experience unless that's a second user one that's about a half to a third of the best prices out there.

Using top dollar sandisk 128gb card. works flawlessly. no issues at all. wish I could figure out how to get burst photos to go straight to card.
This is the card I'm using. Been running it for a few months with no problems whatsoever.
128 Gb works just fine. It's class 10 sdcard. No issues. Unrooted+rooted.
Tried this card on a lg g pro 2 though. There i had a lot of problems.
I thought the S5 could only handle 64GB memory cards? I'm using a 64GB sandisk one and it works perfectly! In my opinion thats more than enough and I got it at a good price :fingers-crossed:
Just got the 128 gig card, so far so good, no problems, actual available mem on the card is 119gig, Using it on the Sprint S5 variant

Please do that check before you start taking irreplaceable pictures. This is what I use, takes forever, but well worth the wait.

thanks I will look into testing it
Adata 128gb sdhc??
so this is the card that I bought off ebay. Ebay you say...... well its a huge piece of ****. to start it is a fake, found that out when I started to write to it and after it reached around 8GB it started to overwrite what was already there! SD card test app confirmed it. check before you buy, some fakes can be identified easily. below is what ADATA replied to me when I had asked them WTF was wrong my damn card. like it mentions below, check the manufacturers website for any pictures of the cards and related packaging and descriptions. bottom line is you get what you pay for. A $20 card is far from a $100. for me the card was cheap so I was willing to risk it, but I saw some Samsung cards as high as $80 and they were also fakes. Ill wait for the price to go down, and get it from a local reputable retailer.
Thank you for contacting ADATA.
You mentioned that you have a 128GB MicroSDHC memory card. However, ADATA has not manufactured any MicroSD memory cards that has exceeded the capacity of 64GB (please visit the following link to our current memory card product offerings):
http://www.adata.com/index.php?action=product&cid=7&lan=en&cid1=3
Also, MicroSD memory cards with capacities of 64GB and above are categorized as MicroSDXC, not MicroSDHC.
There’s a suspicion that you might have purchased a counterfeit product. To verify, please compare your item against the product images we have listed on our web pages. We could assist you with identifying the product as well if you could send us images of your product.
no, i haven't fill up my 16 gb internal yet :v
Using 128GB Class 10 on my Verizon S5 and have no issues at all.
Biggest problem I had was transferring files from previous 32GB to the 128GB (A lot of files, took a while).
I am also rooted and I have to say being rooted is better with the bigger (or any) SD card that way you can use the SDFix app and allow file browsers to write to SD.
I'm using a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB card for now but will jump to 128 GB sooner rather than later since it seems everyone has had good luck with using legit cards. I'm kind of waiting for a sub-$100 deal, though.
Anyone find any discounted 128gb SD cards on Amazon or anything?

It should just work, storage is storage. I am not sure what in the software, memory IO, or processors would make much of a difference. My 64GB samsung Class10 card works in the oldest of old devices that I have as far as android phones go, no problem. Even back in the android 2.3 OS. My Mifi hotspot even accepts and shares my 64gb sd cards' contents over DLNA.
I bought 128 micro sd adata and I have one problem whit videos, when I copy or move any video from my internal memory to micro sd that videos don't play on my s5 video player. Anyone has solution for this problem??

Recommendations would be most appreciated.
I got a SanDisk 128 GB and it has been working great so far.

I would recommend you Samsung MicroSDXC 64GB PRO Memory Card. Also other Samsung cards are great.
Very good read/write speeds.
I put a Lexar 128 GB 1000x in my MXP and it is functioning great.
I'm considering purchase of this phone - sounds like support for a micro SDcard works well, so is there any benefit to buying the 64 or 32GB internal storage models vs. the 16GB model? I can capture video and do TWRP backups to the (relatively inexpensive) SDcard, so what am I missing on a cheaper 16GB phone?

Is the Moto X a UHS-I or UHS-II compatible host device? The extra cost of these higher-end sdcards would be wasted otherwise, correct?
Edit - I googled this topic and found this post: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/8cda627ead . In short, it confirms that the Moto X benefits from / takes advantage of a UHS-1 U3 microSD card. @EmperorX makes a good suggestion.
I still want to know if I really want to spend extra for a 32 or 64GB Moto X, given that I can buy a 32GB UHS-1 U3 card for US $15.
Both cards are UHS-I class U3
It does support uhs-1 from what I've read. We'll see, my wife's card gets here on Wed and I'll test out. Sandisk extreme pro.
Edit:
I see you've read what I read.

If there's a good Android M ROM available yet, see about formatting it as phone-specific "internal" storage... See: https://www.androidpit.com/android-m-release-date-news-features-name#performance

Problem
and what the maximum amount of the SD card can be used as system memory? I have a card to 64GB, and when you try to make it a system unit for a long time it formats, but it is empty and then says that the card is damaged, but if you use it like a regular card, it works fine and displays. Do not tell me what could be the problem?

Can you report on the relative performance of your higher-end microSD card vs. the internal storage? For example:
compare the time it takes to do a TWRP backup of the whole phone to internal vs. the microSD card
Capture full QHD video directly to the microSD card
etc.
Thanks!

Amazon has been really dropping the ball lately. I haven't had a package come on time in about a month or two, even with "guaranteed delivery by". Lol

I use a 32gb Samsung Pro+
I've got a generic 32gb class 10 and I have it as internal and its really laggy when I use Facebook, twitter etc so at the moment I just chuck my games on there. If I get a San disk extreme or pro will that eliminate the lag?

Maybe... But don't expect it to. Internal memory is much faster than even the fastest SD card. If you must use your SD card as internal storage for apps due to space, then move low usage apps to external card and heavy use ones to internal

I would like to know this too. There was some user who was successfully using a 200gb card in his phone. But since then I havent read of anyone else doing it. It would be great if we could use a 200gb card in our phone. Someone who is using it, kindly give your feedback.

Probably me, I have a Sandisk Ultra 200GB card. Works fine, no issues at all, ends up around 180GB usable. I've formatted it in both ext4 and exfat, both work fine. I did some benchmarks in another thread around here somewhere. Any questions, feel free.
