I'm looking to get a 16gb card for my phone.
Does the Z series need a fast card like the class 4 or 6 to record HD video or will a slower card make the video choppy, increase write time etc? I have a class 6 8gb card in there now from my Touch HD and the write speed is good for my music on the phone but I was hoping a cheaper class 4 will do for the bigger card.

There are many threads that are already open which discuss the issue of what class SD card that one should get. Might want to read up on those.
I have a 16gb Class 4 card and it is plenty fast for me. No lag on video playback, etc.
Thanks for the reply. I tried searching for threads using the HTC app but can't work out how to do an advanced search. Will have another paly with it now. Cheers.

im trying to transfer a new rom(327mb) to my SD CARD to flash but its taking way toooo! long.. it receives by 500KB/S now, before it was MB/S. its taking 10minutes to transfer it. is something wrong with my SD card?
How good of a computer do you have? Try not multitasking like 10 things at a time and transferring if that doesnt help, you must have a lot on your sd card try clearing uneeded files.
If that doesnt work, the final solution, buy a better sd card...

Welcome to Class 2 SD cards. Now you know why they're so inexpensive.
I have a transfer rate of about 5mbs...I'm fine with that...

I had that problem when I backed up my SD card before making it a gold card. Everything came off the card at 18MB/s but it went back on at 600 KB/s. The card has continued to work fine since, though.
I have the 8gb that came with the phone.

Hi I just got a 32gb SD micro sdhc card. I put it in my g2x and in SD card and memory in settings it says empty. If I go to applications and try to move a application over it says SD card is full. I think this is because my internal SD card is full. I didn't know I had an internal SD. How can I move it to an external display. App to SD card doesn't work and sdcard enabler didn't work either.
Thnx

K starting with what rom you are on would be helpful. They all handle the internal/external stuff different.

What brand card do you have?

First dl es file explorer, its free no ads.
Second make sure you don't have some BS cheapo generic card and that the class speed isn't over 6. From Lu own experience higher speeds are redundant and there's really no difference. I have class 4 16 gb Kingston and it works perfect way faster than any normal class2.
If you are royalty confused which is the phone external and which is the onevypu put in, set your phone storage to external take a pic and there you go easy path tobthe right storage folder. Gl
meh...
Has anybody had there phone freeze when using the video recorder mine keeps doing it any solutions?

Are you using any roms? What about saving to a SD card? If so, what speed class is your SD card? Sometimes even stupid small things can cause headaches.

By any chance, do you have very little space on the storage that the video is being saved to?
No roms and its stock I have it going to my external SD card 16 gig class 2. The card is empty have nothing on it

Maybe it has something to do with the speed of your sd card (class 2). If you can replace that card with a class 6 or 10 and see if the problem clears.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm currently running Synergy r118 and I woke up this morning to find my SanDisk Class 10 64 gb sdcard unmounted and not working. I just replaced my 32 gb card about one month ago from the same problem.

A week after I got the s3 my sd card did the same thing. It sucked big time, had all kinds of data that wasn't backed up(stupid me). Reformatting the card fixed the issue and it hasn't done it since (knock on wood lol).

Just for mine last Friday, put my 16gb one from my old phone in, died before I got off work. Trying another one. It seems quite a few people have this problem.

I can't even get my SD card to show up on my computer. I have no way to reformat it. In my case it seems the cards have completely died

Sending in my patriot card for replacement. 2nd one to die. I'm pretty sure it's the phone killing them. This does seem to be a problem abs Sammy needs to fix

Mine did the same thing the other day. Class 10 32 gb. Hadn't had a problem with a class 4 having shuffled it thru a few different phones over the last couple yrs.

I just put mine into the phone go to Settings and format SD card under storage so whatever format the phone does it in
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
FWIW everyone I have seen with those issues the card has been formatted in exfat or whatever format phone uses by default. Apparently it corrupts something. You might try putting card in a computer and using a application to format SD card as fat32 and see if it helps?
I believe mine was fat32 from when I was using it in my incredible. Can't say for sure though. I will format this once though. It's a [email protected] when it goes all of a sudden, especially when it's hour 2 of 8.

I always format mine on the PC to fat32. I actually had a notification saying that the card was damaged. Dunno,I'll see if it happens again...
I've heard of this problem quite a bit but when I used an SD card in my GS3 I never had the problem.
I was using a Samsung microSD card.
Had the same card for a while. No problem here. Thing is my phone happens to randomly eject and remount the card every so often when I set the phone down.

Whatever it is, I can't afford to keep buying 64 gb sdcards regularly. I've had 0 issues with this phone until now, and burning up sdcards frequently is a pretty big one. I put in a spare 16 gb card after formatting it in the pc for fat32 tonight. *fingers crossed*

The same thing happened to me, and a lot of other people in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856564
I got a SanDisk card, and got one of the "breathable" cases to keep things cooler, and I haven't had a problem since. Not sure if that's a real solution, but I'm happy with it
Now that I'm thinking about it, I remember that when I got this last sdcard, I formatted it to fat32 based on what I was reading. Not only that, it's a Sandisk, which half of the above thread stated to get. Now I'm really concerned that it's a hardware issue and I'll end up with someone's piece of crap refurb
Mine borked on me again this morning. (32 gb Sandisk cl10 fat32 format)Said there wasn't a card inserted and then after I pulled the card and re-loaded it,it said the card was blank or the data was un-readable. All my pics on it were visible in the gallery and I added some more thru out the day. Sometime this afternoon for no reason it seemed to straighten itself out and is showing up in storage. Other than cleaning the contacts on the card wtf-over?
Haven't had a single issue with mine, haven't even touched it since it went in when I bought the phone in early August. It's my old 16GB out of my Bionic so its nothing special
