hey guys
Picked up a 32 Gb micro SD card from CEX made by these guys. Supposedly a class 10 card, with transfer speeds of approximately 1Mb, yes tats right ladies and gents.
1 MB!!!!!
Surely this isnt right, do you think ive been had and it might be a fake? Or do you think i have formatted it wrong?
Its sounds like a fake card.

I heard that those cards don't hold up to its full capacity. Try filling the card up.

Also how did you format the card?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
via windows, what worries me is the total capacity of the card SHOULD NOT be 30.7 , it should be something along the lines of 27.9 GB?
wow! thats the new card that everyones talking about. thats the one that has a free alien with it right?

Then you probably did fromat it the right way, I never trusted that brand. My 32gb micro sd card has 29.7gb available. Btw my card is a Sandisk.

is that the total capacity ? or free space? could i be wrong and it is supposed to hold 30.7 GB?
And free aliens are not included @[email protected]

That's my whole capacity. I don't think its supposed to be 30.7. Just try filling up the card.

might take a while... FP?
yep its ****, i put 23 Gb worth of music on there, and it rubbed off leaving me with 5 Gb....
Bad times!
I have had so many negative experiences with micro sd cards, but since i brought my PNY 16 gig all has been fine.
Sucks when crap like you mention happens.
Yeah, if you bought it online, get a refund. Sucks
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
sounds like a fake, I don't trust unknown cards anymore... memory reliability is very important to me, try to get a refund if you can!
good news is i bought from CEX which is a hardware store and they only had one in stock, i trust CEX with my heart as they are awesome, and i dont think they would have knowingly done this and sold me it, they explained today when i took it back that they were sorry.
I said it was fine and it happens, but they said they couldnt do anything till they had fully tested it, so i said not to worry and they gave me a microSD adaptor to see if it could make any difference and sadly it didnt... ,
I will take it back and let them test it and ill tell them to load lots of data on it and see where it goes xd , thats what happened to me
So i fight on
These memorette microsd are pure garbage. Just google them, you'll see a load of people with problems.
Stick with the legit makers, don't skimp on your data storage.

What's more surprising is that you didn't do your homework before you bought the phone.
You're probably one of the only one's with this phone who has a problem with the lack of mem slot. The other 99.9% of us were fully aware of this, and didn't care, as I don't see how I could fill up all 16gb, given that there are cloud music services and what-not nowadays.

How does internal memory sucks?
I mean, the SD Card feature is really nice to have and silly not to include it. But it was not included because there wasn't enough room for it with NFC and all of that.
It sucks that we don't have sdcards but we can live without it. Am I saying future phones shouldnt feature it anymore? No. I think it should definitely stay. But can we live without them? Sure.
my biggest complaint about lack of sdcard is all the people who refused to get this phone due to it saying no sdcard slot is stupid they would never buy a phone that has "locked" storage... and then pull out their ipod...

It's even funnier when people criticize the phone (way back when it first came out) and was like without a sd card, you cant flash ROMs. That's what makes me laugh so hard. If they made the iNAND to be 32GB instead of 16GB I bet it would of made more consumers happy
The whole no sdcard is a misconception because they think the phone itself doesn't have storage.

Classic! Although I filled an sd with 16g already all it took was many 720 p recordings on the epic camcorder, 4 movies (hangover, pulp fiction, kat williams pimp chronicles, and lord of war) plus half my music collection. Oh and about 15 diff nandroids which can get pretty big (that's what she said). It really was pointless keeping all that on the as but I did because I could

Anyone bought this 32 gb Micro Sd Card from ebay. I just got in the mail and so far so good my transfer rate from PC to SD a 360mb file is 4.60mbps while the regular sandisk 8gb is 6.20mps. Its cheap so wasn't surprise . Anyone else
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120746278677&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
CAN SOME MOVE THIS TO THE ACCESSORIES SECTION ,SORRY
i think Its cheap coz the class less than 6
maybe 4
the most important is the class
class 10 will be the best
its class 4
I bought one and got ripped off. It was labeled 32gig but it was only 4.

lol that sucks
but anyways, 32gb, whatever class it is, for $29 isnt bad
class 4 is good enough for a mobile phone. If you just use it to store mp's/photo's.
Higher then class 4 is only interesting when filming/photographing on a high resolution and thus need a high read/write speed.
Anyway, $29 for 32 gig is a very nice price!!
Still... don't know why this in the dev. forum

I bought a SD card and a thumb drive. Both turned out to be fakes from China. The 32 GB thumb drive only held 14 GB of data and was flaky at that. The SD card was slow and was also unbranded. I would be very careful about what data you save to it. It might just go south on you.
Keep an eye on sales ads. I just got a 8GB class 10 micro SD at bestbuy for $19.99
**This is in the dev thread because it was a mistake on the OP part. He asked for it to be moved, but the MODs have not done so. I suggest sending them a PM bro. Might get a better response.
There are free programs, like h2testw, you can download to test the sd cards and usb drives. I purchased one a while ago that was supposedly a 32gb, and windows detected it as a 32gb. I tested it and it was really 1GB.
BE REALLY CAREFUL INDEED,
I bought exactly the same 2 weeks ago on Ebay, same packaging exactly, about same price.
It was a fake that was only 2Go, with a ridiculous transfer rate of 2.2Mo/sec with downs to 150ko/sec
So I bought another one 32Mo, branded, class4, more expensive of course! (I also think we don't really more than class 4 unless your're really impatient when transferring big files from your PC to your SD card. Class 4 is already enough for the Sensation HD recording, and having class 10 wouldn't speed up any app except for some benchmarks that take SD card write/read into account)
Check microcenter. I picked up a 16 gig class 10 today for $28+tax... Well worth the price.

i doubt theres any hidden sd inside lol, otherwise they would have changed to design to allow that sd to be removed
settle for 16gb and use the cloud. Or get another phone with expandable memory

Umm you actually got 25 GB with your One S..as in Gigabytes...just thought you should know.

if that is the case, Surely making a slot on the casing wouldnt have been a difficult job.. Then there would be expandable memory...
yeah but someone has to disassemble the phone first to check if there really is a micro sd just like the HD7..
i dare you to do it
This has more to do with control than anything else. I hate to say it but the iphone doesn't have expandability and as a phone its done just fine and now also has a cloud system. The SD card slot is fading away I think. Most of us have wifi in most of the places we go generally so using the cloud isn't all bad but it isn't all good either. But just think when was the last time you used a floppy drive? Not implementing a sd card slot and removable battery has given way to an elegant design. I think most of us can deal. Change.

Hello there, I would like to know if it is possible to install an app which full size is bigger than your sd? In my case I want to install nova3 but my sd card is only 2gb(actually 1.8) and nova takes 2gb of space. Since the Atrix 2 installs directly to sd card is it impossibly for me to play it unless I buy a bigger sd card?
I tried to look this up but nothing showed up...
Thanks beforehand

I could probably live with the limited storage, but I will NEVER buy a phone with a non-removeable battery.

I can understand that, but I've actually already filled up my 32gb gs3. Even still 16gb isn't bad and I personally don't care too much about a non removable battery. However, the dna's battery sounds relatively small for the high spec guts it has plus that 1080 lcd.
That's also not to mention how bleak the prospect of development seems. Not to bash it, but the gs3 still has some pros

I'm already suffering the issues of low memory with my 16GB of space. Downloaded Need for Speed Most Wanted and that took a large chunk of space. already have other games that are taking up 7GB of space alone. then god forbid if i want to download some lossless songs from Spotify. thats almost 400MB an album. I can't put that on the SD card, unless i'm missing something in the way spotify saves music.
So Yes. I do need to carry that much info on my phone.

In a word, yes. All of my music is FLAC encoded; my 32GB S3 is totally full, and the 32GB MicroSD I have in it has about 3GB left, and that's just from about 50-100 albums. Honestly, I'd love a 128GB MicroSD right now... plus where I am 3G is unusable (40KB/s down D: ) and thus streaming makes absolutely no sense for me. No SD card slot makes any phone a no-buy for me.

Its not 16gb its really
11gb useable storage.
I just cant live with that.
GOOGLE and LG did the same thing with the Nexus 4
Conspiracy time: why put so little storage?
Maybe to force people to use PAY cloud based storage like Drive and backup assistant.
Dont forget the data charges store and access those GB of cloud data.
Games nowdays can be over a gig and I have 6gb+ of music. Not everyone wants to use the cloud to stream music and movies. Not only does it kill your battery but if you are in a bad area for signal you are SOTL. I also always have some movies on my phone for my 3 year old when we go out to dinner it keeps her calm. I have a 32gb gs3 and a 64gb card I don't have to worry about space on my phone.
