32GB micro SDHC Class 10 for the G2X? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Is anyone using a 32GB microSD Class 10 (specifically) with their G2X yet? If so, can you please let me know the brand you are using?
Just wanting to make sure that it is stable and not giving the G2X any problems.
Does the G2X support Class 10 cards? Up to what Class is it stable?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I've found so far:

I went down to MicroCenter and picked up the Lexar class 10 32GB and it's working great on the G2x. Very stable.

My friend bought one (32GB off ebay) and it was actually a 2GB cheap chinese knock off card that's been formatted some weird way to make it show 32GB...it was craziness...bizarre

There was an article circulating last week about some clever Chinese seller who set up a 128MB USB stick inside an external HDD enclosure. They'd come up with some way to make it emulate a size, but when it began to fill up it'd just dump older data.
16GB Class 6 AData has served me well since I got it for my Nexus One in January last year.

I got the Lexar 32 GB class 10 and it lives up to a class 10. If you want to buy a cheap class 10 then its probably some shady class 10 has a speed of a class 4. Becareful. Go on amazon and get the Lexar one.

Unbelievable. Those bastards (not generally, just those idiot knock off people).
I was looking into a 16GB, but shooting 1080p HD and 8MP pictures sure does pile up fast.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a program that uploaded / backed up all your videos/pictures to you server while you were a sleep (on the charger.) I foresee it right around the corner...

Picasa should have done that in November 2008 when I got my G1. The fact that it STILL doesn't have this capability is one of my gripes with Android.

True that. Probably because of the storage space, unless the program on their end converted the files down to a smaller size. We'll have to wait and see...
After looking around the Lexar seems to be the most promising option...about to order one now. Thanks guys for the input...

There already is! Titanium Media Sync automatically loads whatever folders you want (like the dcim folder of pics) to dropbox. I've been using it for a couple of weeks on two different phones, and it has worked flawlessly. It's a few bucks in the market, but it's well worth it in my oppinion.

Iunlock, you wont be disappointed. Get it from Amazon, since they are a reputable source. If you go to college and have some textbooks, Amazon gives back good amount of credit compared to places that give you cashback for books. I had a few textbooks laying around and only had to pay 15 for the Lexar sdhc

Run these tests with a Kingston micro Drive reader/writer that is plugged directly into a USB 2.0 port. I did not use the actual phone for benchmarking as I was afraid it might bottleneck the flash media.

Great info. Thanks! Good to know...

I'm on a nexus one and contemplating this phone. I do have a few observations though that may apply. My class ten card is a legit card from kingston. I do get the right speeds if I take it out of the phone and put it in a card reader. From the phone however the speed is no greater than the stock 4 gig. Since I seldom take my card out I'm not sure I would spring for the more expensive memory since it also made no difference with apps to SD which was my actual concern and reason for buying the faster silicon. This is something which someone who already has a class ten can test out fairly easily to see if the story is different here.

How do you the book buyback at amazon?

According to the reviews, some people are getting crappy speeds of 6MB/s or less. I don't think I will gamble on this one because the cards seem inconsistent. I doubt the life expectancy is very long either.
Sandisk and other reputable manufacturers make cards that are consistently above the class rating. There's a reason they cost more: they spend money on QA.
You're welcome for the "thanks" if you got it from me... Otherwise ok, parallel thinking.

I have one and I barely get 6 Mbps with it on HDTune, I have an Adata 8gb Class 6 that outperforms it, but it is a good deal for such a large card if speed isn't an issue.

The best speed I get out of the card, interestingly enough, is when I boot into Clockwork Recovery and mount it. I can hit about 11MB/s write. LOL. I think my SD/Trans-flash card reader is messed up because I get abysmal rates with it.

I bought this card a month ago from Fry's. I never really tested, I just mainly wanted it for the capacity. That being said, using this command on my linux box
Code:
dd count=1k bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/media/test.img (/media being the name of the card)
with it being mounted in my pc, I got this
Code:
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 12.051 s, 89.1 MB/s
.
Not bad!.
Oh wow, that's what I got an 8GB for a little bit before I got the G2. Though that one is a Sandisk. How can I tell what class it is?

There's usually a little number inside a circle, somewhere on the card. Sometimes it's not in a circle. It will be either a 2,4,6,8 or 10. If it doesn't have one, you can assume it's a class 2.
Newegg has had this card at this price for a while. There isn't any rush to get these. They sell out, and then come back in stock a week later.
I just bought me one of these:
WINTEC FileMate 16GB Mobile Professional Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter
from FRY's Electronics in Manhattan Beach Ca. for $32 (IMHO pretty cheap for a in store price).
I Just ran h2testw on the card and got 15.2Mbp/s write speed and 17.5Mbps read speed, so at least the one I bought was legit.
Here's the thing: the greater the Class on a card the better it will perform reading/writing big files. This also means that if you're trying to create/copy/move many little files from/to the card you'll be better served with a Class 2, wich doesn't take so much time readying the card for a reading/writing operation as the higher classes.

Kingston SD cards

Has anyone here had any experience with kingston sd cards? Just bought a class 4 16g card from newegg for 35 including shipping.. The reviews were pretty good and I know theyre a pretty big company so I think i'll be ok but wanted to see if anyone here could confirm or deny this
*I'm just sayin...
ive got a pny 16 gig, and it works great. i know kingston makes good ram, so id imagine that a kingston sd card would be worth its money, and i cant see a big brand memory product being garbage, especially in 2011. that price is a win no matter what though.
How much was the card? I would love a bigger card. And what did y'all do to transfer memory from one card to the next?

It's around $82.49 with free shipping.
I've read a few reviews on Wintec cards, and not a lot of them are good. They work fine at first, then start to degrade quickly. To top it off, people say that when they try to get it replaced through Wintec, Wintec claims that its user error or abuse.

He said in the OP that its $35 and free shipping.
I have 16GB for two years already and now i bought 32 gb ... both are working well so far.
16gb are going from $22-$35 shipped right now - class 10 speeds. Pick one up if you are using the stock 8gb. I just ordered one myself.
I've used two different Kingston SD Cards. They worked well for me without any issues. My previous was an 8gb Kingston class 4 and I currently have a Kingston 16gb Class 4 card.
The 8GB is nearly 2 years old and is working just fine. Have used it in multiple cell phones and currently serves as a flash drive for work using an adapter. The 16gb works just as well with some added space.

From my experience I would have to agree on the class. To be honest, I think even a quality class 2 card would do just fine on a mobile device.
The class is an indication of the minimum Write Speed (class 4 = 4mb/s class 6 = 6mb/s, etc) The Read speed is generally much higher than that, so even if you are running applications from the SD card, performance shouldn't be hindered by a lower class card.
The only instance I can think of that performance would be affected is if you record a lot of 720P video with your phone. In that case, a faster write speed *Should* help with stuttering issues.
Now if we were talking about a high end SLR camera, then hell yes, speed makes a huge difference. I run a Kingston Class 6 in my SLR and it handles everything just fine, including HD video.
Just my 2 cents...
Well,
What it really comes down to is how fast the SD card adapter is in our phones, which I haven't figured out yet. If it'll fully utilize a class 10 card in terms of max write speed, then I would totally go for a class 10 card.
Can anyone verify the max speed our phones could support? (No guesses, please)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I like Samsung cards personally. The performance has always been well above it's rated speed, and I've never had one corrupt/fail on me.

Must have been a promotion. My shipping was free. ANd to update everyone else it works like a charm. Dont really notice anything as far as normal phone function because I dont store apps on SD but My Titanium, Nandroid, and Just general SD backups to the PC are noticably faster.
Kingston is dead to me...
So, used to be a big proponent of Kingston, but they've seriously slipped over the last couple years (and not just flash, I've had major problems with their desktop memory, too, but that's a story for another forum). I bought the SDC4/32GB from Newegg. Supposed to be 32GB class 4 card. Wow. First one they sent wrote at 2MBps, read at 3MBps. Sent it in for a replacement, and I got one that wrote at 3MBps and read at 3.5MBps. Tried formatting it with my phone, with the official sdformatter utility, with Windows, with Linux, nothing helped. Third replacement was back down to 2/3MBps. Hardly class 4. And no, it wasn't my device or anything like that. I've got an actual class 4 8GB Sandisk card that came stock with my phone, and it does 5/7MBps on the same devices on which I tested the Kingston. And the Sandisk can record 720p without stuttering. Recordings from the Kingston were like watching a slideshow.
Very much done with that. Sent it back (again), got a refund, and now I've ordered that class 10 Wintec 32GB. Curious to see how it performs, and I'll stress it right away to see how it handles in the long run (do a bunch of writes and reads the first week to make sure it won't crap out right away). I'll report back here with my results, but they can't be worse than the Kingston. And from what I've read, it may be hit or miss, but when I get a hit, it'll be a class 10!

Best 32GB Micro SD for Infuse

Hello...
What do I need to look for when purchasing a 32GB Micro SD card for the Infuse? A specific "class"? Speed? Etc?
Thanks...

Does class really matter for a phone like the Infuse? I've read conflicting reviews, saying that anything over class 2 doesn't provide any benefit to the Infuse, and others who swear that anything below Class 6 is terrible for the Infuse. Are there any official stances on this?
I purchased the SanDisk 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model SDSDQM-032G-B35N
and it is a class 2.
I copied the contents of my 16GB card to it and rebooted the phone. I'd say for the next 12-18 hours, it was very slow and choppy. But after that, and to this moment, it is working just fine.
Wonder what the slow down was after the initial install of it?

not sure how fast the infuse can read but i can tell you in actual benchmarks it is posible to have a class 2 read as fast as a class 6, many cheaper cards are faster than they are rated. also im pretty sure android is designed to minimize i/o. i guess it all depends on the complexity and size of the apps you run off of it and how fast the phone is. when someone says a class4 is good they are basically saying dont waist your money. i tend to agree with that.
I highly doubt the controller in the Infuse has a maximum transfer rate that even comes close to class 6 or maybe not even class 4. The only advantage to the high speed cards is if you put the card in your PC and copy files to it (assuming your SD reader can even handle the higher rates).
That being said I bought the A-Data class 10 16GIG because it was only $20 after coupon a couple weeks ago from Meritline but I have no doubt a class 4 or even 2 would be just fine with no noticeable performance difference.
It's no different that putting a SATA3 drive on a SATA2 controller.

yeah I may just go with the Sandisk 32gb class 2. It's about $12 more expensive than the Adata 32GB class 10's but those are sold out at the moment and Sandisk is a better company IMO anyway.
I've been using a Transcend 32GB Class4 Micro SDHC from newegg. It's amazing! It works great! Fast, large and just straight up works with the phone. Formatted memory for me is 31.6 gigs. Highly recommend it.
Adata 32GB Class 10 in my GS2, Infuse and Berry, no complains here. Transfer speeds much better than Class 2 card that came with phone...at least for my Berry that i regularly use transferring files for work.

Exactly this. Someone over in the HD2 section ran several VERY thorough tests confirming that there's very little difference in a class 2 or class 10 card unless you put the card in an adapter directly.

Sandisk 32GB too slow!

Just purchased 32GB Sandisk micro SD. To my knowledge Sandisk has only one 32GB micro SD card and it's a class 2. I have had same, but in 8GB capacity. From time to time I copy/backup folders to external SD: Navionics, Epocrates, and TitaniumBackup...up to 460MB. On 8GB it would take a minute or two each, but with new 32GB it takes forever. Both class 2; same manufacturer, but smaller one much faster. Any suggestions?
Infusion of Android
Class it up! Try a class 4 or 6.
nvm: I read later that you mentioned you get a faster speed on a Class 2 8gig than on a Class 2 32 gig. I just need coffee. Ignore my comment
I have a Sandisk 32gb Class 2... and it's slooooow. So I tried a 32GB Class 4, and it's still equally slow. I'm beginning to think it's the device, not the memory card. I'm getting annoyed with how much just having a memory card in the slot slows down the phone. I may just tolerate the internal 16gb and stop using an "external SD" because it's gotten super annoying waiting for it to scan all the time.
I have an adata class 4 32gb and its pretty good copying to and from. I got it from a quality retailer. If you didnt get it from a quality retailer, TEST it with h2testw app on the pc and make sure its real. It will take a long time to test it. Writing will go quick and you wont see any errors, but reading and verifying the writen data will take a lot longer and thats where the errors will show if its truly not a legitimate card.
I got a couple of fakes off ebay that i got refunded for, but these people sell thousands of these things on there and alot of people get fooled because they seem to work fine, UNTIL down the road when you cant read the data and lose a ton of stuff.
If you test it and get no errors on the reading side, you got a slow card and thats all there is to it. Its not the phone becuase it works fine with cards for most everyone. Not many complaints showing up

Mine's a legitimate card, that much I know. Best Buy doesn't sell china-models, haha
Correction. It's a Class 4 that I bought from Staples.
Sandisk technical chat was a joke and commented:"Well there is no guaranteed read and write speed. Still you can try formatting it with a tool called HP Tool"
My response:"Your comment could be construed as a copout. I believe everyone should have the guarantee that when same manufacturer produces a product and one is classed to have double the transfer capability ...... it should perform as such"
Sandisk chat :"I understand but we do not have any read and write speed on micro SDHC card"

Kudos to you for challenging them... Unfortunately the world is becoming more and more of a marketing-reality. Something can be marketed as anything. AT&T decided they'd rather call their 3G a "4G network" rather than update to 4G... Sandisk decided to call their Class 4 a "Class 4" without any sort of technical evidence of it complying with the standard... and who's going to stand up to them, just like who's going to stand up to AT&T? Very sad state we've gotten to.

I have a Sandisk 32gb Class 2... and it's slooooow. So I tried a 32GB Class 4, and it's still equally slow. I'm beginning to think it's the device, not the memory card. I'm getting annoyed with how much just having a memory card in the slot slows down the phone. I may just tolerate the internal 16gb and stop using an "external SD" because it's gotten super annoying waiting for it to scan all the time.

Wait, are you saying that if one removes the external SD card that no scanning takes place?!?! If so that bish will be out of there in a hot minute! 2GB isn't worth the headache.
Yes class 2 is like the 3200rpm hard disk. Back in 1990's. Get class 6. I have class 10 it's very fast.

Is the Infuse able to take advantage of the Class 10? I thought I read somewhere anything above Class 6 reads the same on modern smartphones. Anyone have real world experience using infuse with class 2 vs 6 vs 10?

Tested it and it came back 10.44 Mbs read/4.66 Mbs write. This was after formatting it with HP Tool. That is within spec for Class 4, but seemed just too slow. I'll try to transfer same files again and share results.

Does PNY make Class 10 16 or 32gb cards? In searching on Amazon 32gb Micro SD Class 10, I'm seeing Lexar, and Patriot. The Patriot gets mediocre reviews saying that it dies frequently, and is incompatible with many devices. I'm thinking of buying the Lexar, but I still haven't seen anyone post any better read\write speeds, so I'm wondering if the Samsung can even read\write faster than class 4.
PNY 16 GB class 10 at Costco.com $29.99

Only online. Recent shipments to stores are 8GB Sandisk class 4. No other choices.
I flubbed on price $29.99

Aww, I just think I'd regret only going 16GB... if there are 32GB available, I think I'd be regretting it in a week if I bought a 16GB.
Try newegg.com they have very good prices, good reviews and a great return policy.

Wanting to buy @ Amazon... I have $300 in gift cards on Amazon, so need something I can order from them. Not a fan of Newegg as they charge Tax in CA, and their "standard" shipping is slooooow (up to 10 days the last couple orders). I have Amazon Prime free 2 day shipping, and no tax here in CA, so I'm trying to stick with them.

Samsung 32Gb Class 10 microsd

Just bagged one of these for £39.99, thought it was a good deal

Hello,
I have it, bought on Amazon at 32€
It works fine.
I bought Lexar 32gb class 10 for 47$...
www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSDHC-Memory-Reader-LSDMI32GBSBNAR/dp/B004AM610M
Waiting for delivery...
I can vouch for LEXAR. perfect at around 10MBPS for video files and ROM zips lol. Bought mine for 50
Thanks for the heads-up on this.
Been looking around for a while for a decent 32GB card and this seems to be the cheapest of it's kind. There are some cheaper ones around but a lower class of 6 or 4.

In for the updates.
I currently have a Patriot 32GB Class 10... It's awful. Likely the worst card on the market. I've had so many issues with it. It corrupts easily. It's happened a few times this year. Each time it did it I lost just about everything on the card. (Luckily I use TI Media Sync to back up my card to my FTP server.)
I don't use USB to mount the card as a drive that often. Usually I use Samba or something to wirelessly move files. But the times it has corrupted was when it was either sitting idle or I was watching a video.
I just ordered the ADATA 32GB Class 10 since it's got a lot of good reviews. But I'd like to see how you guys do with this card. I could always sell my ADATA card and buy this one if it turns out to be better.
EDIT:
Never mind. I canceled my order for the ADATA card and just ordered the US version of this one. I like Samsung products. Their SSDs are freaking amazing and their customer support has been really good so far. This one was only $2 more than the ADATA one so it wasn't worth the wasted time to try the ADATA first.

Been running ADATA 32G C10 card for quite a few months now . Not a single hiccup
ever ! Great card quality and highly recommended .
I am waiting for micro sd's to go on sale. Lexar 32gb one on amazon up to $66 ._.
Got the Samsung card today.
First off, it's the first and ONLY large capacity SD card I've put into my laptop that was recognized. My Laptop has recognized all cards 4GB and down, but it didn't recognize either of my 16GB or 32GB cards without asking to reformat them. I don't know why. I wasn't expecting my laptop to recognize this 32GB card. But it did. So that's a BIG plus.
Secondly, I'm using RoboCopy to move over all my stuff from my phone over USB to the new card in the SD slot. There's about 20GBs of crap to send over. Robocopy isn't telling me how fast it's going, but it's taking about 5 seconds to copy over 100 MB, so I put that at > 10MB/s easily. Probably a lot faster. I'll run crystal mark on it as soon as I get done copying my crap over and then I'll do an SD Speed test on my phone.
For the record I've never been able to get the Patriot 32GB card in my phone right now to write faster than 8MB/s (which I honestly believe is due to the phone's limitations, not the cards).
The only reason I'm changing cards at all is because the Patriot keeps corrupting. I've lost so much, thanks to the patriot SD. The one week I turned off Titanium Media Sync is the one week my SD card freaked out. LOL That'll teach me to turn off backup.
Anyway, I'll post up the results from both cards if I have time.

FYI, SanDisk's having a black Friday sale. the 32gb micro sdhc is $50 on their site. can't make out what class from the pic on my mobile.
I would have bought SanDisk if I could find a class 10 micro SD, but I couldn't find ANYONE who sold a SanDisk 32GB class 10.
I think that pretty much all 32GB Class 10 MicroSDs are garbage and SanDisk doesn't want to tarnish their name.
On the flip-side, I've found that the Samsung is just as fast on my Sensation as the Patriot, which is fine. I never had a problem with speed. Lets see how long this one lasts, though.
