HTC G2 / Vision 32gb Micro SD Card **CHEAP**

I have shopped around for these and Ebay seems to be the best. Here is the one that I got. Very good price. $14.50 with free shipping. Sure beats paying over $80

How reliable will that card be at that price point? I have purchased many items from Ebay, and memory cards being one of them. I have never had a problem out of mine, but at that price it almost seems to good to be true. I am looking forward to an update.

I heard that some of them aren't actually a 32gb, I heard that they are actually less than that.

Yep, that's correct! Lots of BS USB drives and SD cards that are just 2 and 4 GB but the firmware is bogus.

I had bought one a few months ago and it worked great. And was a true 32 gigger. Then...... I got a phone Call while I was uploading mp3's and without thinking I just unplugged the USB cable. Well that's not good to do. Always properly unmount. Thats why i just ordered another one. I will keep you guys posted on how this one works. Should be here any day now.

Never buy flash on eBay. I bought a 32GB SDHC a few months ago, one of hundreds of similar ones being sold by multiple other sellers. On the computer it showed as 32GB, formatted correctly, and everything. But it was not even 1GB in truth.
There is a price it costs to produce even the worst 32GB cost, and that cost is much higher than 15$.
For a MicroSD, the best right now is the Wintec 16GB Class 10 one at 30$.

That ebay listing doesn't even say what class it is. Really sketchy. Legit 32gb microsd cards go for around $100 I thought.

this video proves it's a fake it LOOK exactly like the picture of the SD card in the seller's item

Google search for a program called h2testw.exe for USB stick drives and test it when it arrives. The firmware is bogus on the fakes....

I'm not quite sure how that video proves that the SD card I just bought is a fake. What's your point exactly?

IMHO, I think it's strictly a reference to the price..........legit sellers can't come even close to it plus offer free or low shipping as well. Best way to check is to download and run the proggy I listed above. Anywho, I seen this scam playout on many USB thumb drives, would be good to confirm a cheap legit seller!

lol cuz the SD card on the video looks like the SD card in the seller's item in the picture
when i saw that i was like "FAKEEEEE"

ripped off
most likely, if you found a 32gb class 10, it's a fake.
google sosfakeflash and h2testw
make sure to test it properly with that h2testw. Simply connecting it to your computer / phone and formatting it will not tell you the true capacity, since it has been reprogrammed to lie about its true capacity... You have to see how much actual data you can write to it and still recover.

Well what happen with this? Was it a fake? Test?

From the engadget website it was just released that lexar was releasing a 32gb sdhc class 10 for a mere 139 lol

It was the Hannah Montana that broke it !!! lol just kidding...
I would be cautious. There are legit sellers, but try to do as much research and read reviews/comments if any.
Ive gotten some pretty dirt cheap deals and they indeed were legit, so its kinda a hit and miss sometimes.
Goodluck tho.

What he is trying to say (although somewhat unclearly) is that counterfeit SD cards often have markings that are not quite correct. If you Google around there are articles or forum posts with photos of fake SD cards versus the real ones.
Of course, there are good fakes that get the markings right. So the only way to know for sure is to test for both capacity and write speed, as others already mentioned.

Cheapest place to find mem cards?

Yeah, have the cheap class 2 rated memory cards that probably don't even work as fast as class 2, or won't last all too long.
If you're in the States, Canada, or China, check Newegg.com.

16Gb PNY mSD-HC Card..

Not sure if this is cheap by everyone elses's standards but figured I'd give you all a heads up, just got myself one of these, backed up my 8Gb card and just doing a full wipe/reset now..
http://direct.tesco.com/product/images/?R=208-4095

Personally I would have gone for a Kingston or SanDisk from Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Cl...RFD2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1304539713&sr=8-3
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-16G...P06K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304539713&sr=8-1
Both of which are a far superior brand (IMO) and cheaper.

:lol: ok, got this one from the local tesco about 30 mins before I posted this, thought someone might find it useful..

Tesco appear not to state a class Play have a class 10 for £2 less

There seems to be supply issues with that PNY one from play in that people aren't always getting a class 10 PNY and are getting unbranded ones instead

All the more reason to go for a better brand like SanDisk or Kingston! But thanks for the heads up.

You would think so but reading elsewhere people have had the Sandisk one from the HTC Assessory Store fail on them too LOL.

Yes, I was meaning in the sense of "it's a sign, ooohhh". Return whatever they send and get a different brand.
Re comment about sanDisk cards, I've had the best part of 20 SanDisk cards go through my phones, friends phones that I've sorted etc. and not a one has failed or even hic-cupped. The only reason I've got some Kingston cards is they were reported as having a better success rate for goldcards than any other (although again, where I have used a SanDisk for testing purposes or desperation they have worked but if for someone eles I still get Kingstons just for the sake of continuity).

That's odd, the sandisk works just fine in mine.

As low as $62 on Amazon right now. I got mine for $53. You gotta watch for price breaks.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st?k...282,k:SanDisk+Ultra+64GB+microSDXC&sort=price

$53 is a darn good price. I got a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC on a best buy daily deal for $49 about a month ago. Doesn't look like they even carry it now on their site, but Amazon has it for $82.

I bought one of the eBay 16.99 ones. We'll see what and if I get something.

Better check the the actual size of that card. On SD cards it is possible to fake the card so it reports a larger size than the card actually is.
You might look at this URL http://flashchiptech.wordpress.com/...ownload-to-check-flash-drives-and-memory-car/
Also it is best to format SD cards with a dedicated formatter. I like SDformatter
Also a good test program is H2testw See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730285

Are you letting it do the default ('exFAT") format in Windows/7? You don't want that, although it works with the Samsung ROM, it won't work with Cyanomod unless you format it as "FAT32" instead. You can use the command-line switches or there's a "FAT32 Gui" program somewhere around here - I can't seem to put my fingers on the link right now, but I found it within the past few days. If you can, use the phone to format it instead of a PC, that always insures FAT32. ("exFAT" isn't supported by CYM because of the funky licensing Microsoft has for exFAT)

Aside from card size, doesnt card speed play a factor in whether these 64gb cards will work? Isnt the appropriate question "what is the best deal on a 64gb class 10 SD card that actually works"?

Ya, I am really thinking about getting the Bust Buy one but I dont know about the class 6. (I contacted SanDisk a few days ago and they told me that they only make the class 10 version at the moment)
Do you think I should get the class 6 from Bust Buy?

that link you provided is a fake memory card, only buy directly from amazon to guaranteed a genuine one, amazon marketplace sell 99% fakes so be careful.

Only buy from reputable sellers like amazon, there are too many fake memory cards from china, they look like the real thing but they are fakes. I only buy sandisk and Samsung brand sdcards from amazon. So far, no problems whatsoever.
