Hello,
I need a Micro card for my Samsung Galaxy S, and this is my first time that I actually look what mark and whats its speed etc, so I'm new to all this class thing.
The options are:
MS SANDISK Memory Stick Pro Hg Duo UltraII
microSDHC SANDISK TransFlash Mobile Ultra
microSD SANDISK TransFlash
MS SANDISK Memory Stick Micro M2
SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC
Kingston Micro SDHC
So which one of these is the best? Is there a noticeable difference between them?
I intend to buy a 4GB one.
Thanks.
this thread should have a lot of good info for you - and you want a micro sdhc card, the sandisk ultra is a good card if you can find one - see my other threads about trying to buy from KomputerBuy and Macmall
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693445
OK I just read the whole thread and its clear that "ultra is the best"..
So I'm going to buy one asap
yeah, but be careful - the ultra is supposed to be a class 4 card and what everyone is shipping is a class 2 -
see my other thread - apparently there's a mem shortage
i agree the ultra is the way to go, but i'd buy it local and bring a magnifier so you can read the frigging class number
Yea thanks for the warning I will go personally and check them out.
i'm using a Transcend 16 GB microSD class 6, also an Adata 16 GB class 6, no problem reading/writing.
in contrast my old HTC Athena, was only able to READ 16GB, but not write to it, the maxium size the HTC Athena was able to WRITE was up to 8GB, it was really weird to say the least.
Hi,
This may be a silly question for some but i've searched around and i still cannot find a definitive answer anywhere with regards to micro sdhc cards being used in the samsung galaxy s. If i was to purchase a micro sdhc card am i going to need some form of adapter? I only ask because most places i shop around only sell micro sdhc cards.
It was my understanding that the galaxy s only had a micro sd slot which is what is currently confusing me.
Thanks.
it supports up to 32 GB of microSD
anything larger than 4 GB = SDHC support
Galaxy S supports Micro SDHC.
(Allgamer basically said that, just in a slightly roundabout manner).
I'd like to know (please), whether the device can perform all functionality such as record hd and playback 720p movies over dlna from a class 2 card? I want to order a sandisk 16gb card, but would save the pennies on a class 4, if a class 2 performs well.
you could still get a class 6 16GB cheaper than getting a Class 2 16GB Sandisk, if you buy from other brands like Transcend (excellent), Adata, OCZ, Kingston, etc....
If it helps, I'm using an old class 6 Transcend 8GB. Bought for a micro DVcam (hence the need for class 6) last year and think it was around £10 then - possibly cheaper now?
You can get a 8 GB SDHC from DealExtreme.com for < $20 any day of the week.
Lexar Secure Digital 16GB class 10, 133X
How about this one?
Lexar Secure Digital 16GB class 10, 133X
Tip: SDHC
Size (MB): 16384
Rate (MB/s): 20MB/s
Class 10
Is Lexar a good name for memories?
I am currently using 4 GB Micro SDHC card with SGS.It is my old phones (HTC HD Mini) Micro SDHC card and it is working great.
I just bought this Wintec 16GB class 10 from Newegg.com... now whether it's an actual class 10 that's to be determined cause it's in the mail. But for $30 you at least get 16GB.
anyone try a-data 32gb class 10?
I'm curious if anyone try a-data 32gb class 10?
half the price of other 32gb cards.
the reason I ask is many folks report issues with hd cams.

not that i know of, so far all the confirmed legit SanDisk 32Gb has been Class 2
some places advertise they have Class 4 SanDisk 32Gb microSD but.... the picture and the price listed are those of a Class 2
some people have confirmed the Class 2 SanDisk 32Gb microSD can write 4Mb/s but that was on a new empty disk test
i would like to see some test done on 60% full 32Gb Class 2 SanDisk microSD to see if it can sustain a Class 4 write after half full, being a Class 2
check this review link http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/review-of-kingston-class-4-32gb-microsdhc-card/
should buy Kingston or Sandisk 32GB MicroSD for my Samsung GT-i9000 Galaxy S
or any other brand?

How ?? A 720p video at maximum quality usually takes around 1.5 ~ 1.8MBps, so a Class 2 (2MBps guaranteed write speed) in theory should be quite sufficient, at least with my Class 2 cards I haven’t had any trouble recording 720p video.The Sandisk 16GB Class 2 I have can be written to at a minimum constant speed of 8MBps (has around 4Gigs of Data on it already). And the Nokia branded (not sure about the actual brand) 8GB Class 2 which I got with my previous Nokia phone can be written to at 4MBps + (has 7Gigs of Data already). So IMO as long as you go with a name brand you should be able to get more than 2MBps writing speed which should be enough for 720p video.
You might get better speeds when transferring large files to your phone, but how often do you do that ?? And if you do that over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth like I mostly do, it won't matter at all. Spending on anything above class 6 (e.g Class 10) IMO is a total waste of money. I use a class 6 on my DSLR to record 1080p video, haven't had any issues with it so far. So I hardly think Galaxy S can exhaust a Class 6 card, or even a branded Class 2.
video is a secondary use
i use it mainly for applications and data transfer (portable hard drive), the faster the better, the less noticeable lag, and speeds up Titanium Backup quite considerably

The recent batch of SanDisk microSDHC cards (seen here in Brussels in Media Markt and Fnac) has Class 2 marking changed to Class 4 (8, 16 and 32GB). They have exactly the same packaging down to part numbers. That's mine for example: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e62/ping_ling/android/microsdhc.jpg
And here's something on it http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Mobile...ught-new-card-is-this-fake/td-p/189102/page/2
Will i need higher than class 2 microsd card to support HD recording on the DHD something like ultra high speed class 6 microsd card for better access speed?
Though im not sure if class 6 is supported on the DHD. if anyone can shed a light on this is greatly appriciated.
As they provide a Class2 card with the phone and advertise 720p video recording, the Class2 standard is apparently enough. This is just a guess, but I strongly think that DHD supports Class6.
Ok, just not too sure if class 6 is based on ver 2.0

It's enough cause we are talking here of a phone that has plenty internal memory to buffer data when you are recording stuff in 720p!!! Class 6 or 10 are needed on digital cameras or digital video cameras cause they usually don't have such huge internal memory to buffer data while recording...
Basically we are talking DHD as almost a computer in these particularly case
something else to consider is transferring anything to your phone or back again to a pc or mac. A class 2 card will be much slower than a class 6 or even a class 10.
I just thought I would check what Class my N97s Micro SD card was and it is a class 6 8GB, so that should keep me going for a bit.
Its pretty rubbish that when people are pay £500 for a phone, that they ship it with pretty old technology micro SD card.
Class 4 16gb kingston microsdhc are pretty cheap
guys what do you all think about this one
Transcend 16 GB microSDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card
Look it up in amazon
it looks pretty good

i've placed an order for one of this for £23.00 through amazon. Doube the capacity and in theory speed than the sd cards the came with my DHD
please post what micro sd card you are using and how you are finding it on the DHD, just so we can see which works the best.
the reason i ask is because I am thinking about getting a bigger micro sd, but not sure what to go for!
thanks
I got a Toshiba 16GB Micro SDHC card from these guys for my DHD for £16.99 inc P&P, and it works great : http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/pro...d=106505&PHPSESSID=4foeg41alltvi1s6sifidtoip0
Its rated as a Class 4 card but I have actually obtained steady transfer rates of 6.5 MB/s and even at times up to 10 MB/s with it whilst copying across large files from my PC to the phone via USB.
I really should look a bit closer before posting!

Class 4 stands for transfers not slower than 4mb/s

We got the following 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10/UHS-1 memory card on sale for $18.99 and it works great in the 820:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7BU
Similar Class 4 card at the AT&T store costs $59:
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/data-memory/sku6090235.html
Or $22 on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobile-microSDHC-Memory-SDSDQ-032G-AFFP/dp/B007KFXIDE/ref=pd_cp_e_2
I'm not sure if the class-10/UHS-1 actually makes any difference; we didn't try HD video capture yet.
Install is simple: switch the phone off, pop open the back, remove the battery, install the card, put everything back together, and turn on the phone. After a second or two, the phone asks if you want photos/videos/music downloads to automatically go to the card or on the main memory. Nice touch. Now my wife's 820 has more storage than the 920 and still cost less. We couldn't justify the additional cost of the 64GB cards. 32GB seems to be the sweet spot right now.
I am new on Lumnia 820, got it on friday last week, but my first impression is very good.
Regarding the Memory card, i can confirm that the SanDisk Ultra Class 10 microSDHC Ultra 32GB is working perfect.
Pluged in as written, installed it and ready to go, pretty fast I think without any problems yet.

Im getting the gskills 32gb class 6 for 20usd as i am not into hd movies to justify the cost difference for an additional 30bucks as i read class 6 or 10 wont make a big difference in handling pictures, music and watching little movies. But if i could find a little less than 50 i might get the 64gb class 10 sandisk micro sdxc uhs-1. Do you think the 64gb class 10 wont pose any problems? Any help appreciated.

Lexar looks pretty good to me, I might consider getting one.
They are also releasing a 128gb variant with 1000x speed (150 MB/s Read). But who knows how much it will cost

The speeds posted are appear to be sequential read/write speeds. Which important when your transferring large files to and from your computer using a usb 3.0 card reader. But for android applications which usually create lots of tiny files random read/write performance means much more.

Worth noting I had to mod this to fit under they hyperion battery cover, it's too large as-is.
I have the SanDisk 128gb and it works absolutely fine. I have the 4k video recording onto it with no problems.
