I'm updating the puny 2Gb placeholder in my Atrix 2. I finally settled on a little known name , Dane Elec, and ordered it from New Egg. Cost me $55 shipped and it's a class 10 card. They are the company making the new Duracell flash units. When I get it installed I'll come back and do a review if anyone is interested

Looking forward to your follow up.
I just ordered up a 32 gig class 10 as well. I was digging through all the data that seems to be split between the onboard and the sdhc card. I'm curious what happens with the various apps when you replace the card.

I'm pretty sure that if you mount both SD cards to your computer and copy everything from old to new, that the system has no problem carrying on with new card with more space. I have done this several times with Inspire 4G, did it once with Atrix 2 going from the stock 8 to a 16GB that I had, and will be doing it again soon with new 32GB.

So do I need to put the new card in and let the phone format it first or format it on the PC?
Let the phone format it, and then transfer the information to it. Good luck with the class 10 micro sd cards. People on the forum to include I are having issues with them. Supposedly going down to a class 4 and 6 will remove the problems the phone is having.
Taking pictures or recording video, the items will show up at as non readable. Everytime I take a pic the first pic is always bad, all of the others show up just fine. Gets annoying but i've managed to overcome it. Also when that happens all of the pictures you took after take a year to show up in the picture viewer. I have to reboot the device just to take a look at the ones I just shot.

Having a class 10 card in my phone, I concur. I have yet to get a class 4 or 6 card to replace it yet but I have heard that doing so will remedy the r/o issues the phone has. Gonna stop by Frys today and pick one up, maybe even a 16gb.

Some here, smooth sailings so far, but i don't have much on my sd card right now.
shoot, I already placed an order for a class 10, I just assumed it was higher quality, like the way cpu's are binned for speed.
Any recommendation on a specific card that works w/o trouble ?
I've been using a 16G sandisk class 6 card without any problems, glad I seen this thread because I was just about to order some class 10 cards. Guess I'll b holding off on that now.

i am using a sandisk 16 gb class 4 card that was really cheap on newegg with free shipping. i am not sure if the deal is still going on. there is a link below:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171486
I copied what I posted in another thread.
My experience has been just the opposite. I originally purchased a 16gb class 4 PNY card and I had the aforementioned read only issues. I then exchanged it for a 16gb class 10 PNY and all has been good since. and that has been about 3 weeks ago. Go figure?
New Question:
Could it be that different manufactures arrive at various class standards using different architecture? Maybe the same class of card from one manufacturer can act differently then another manufacturer? I think ultimately that it shouldn't matter which card we use if the software/hardware is correct, we should be able to put any "reasonable" card we like in the phone and it should work. Hopefully Moto will issue an update so the phones wont be so picky. By the way I love my Atrix 2 and have no desire to get anything else.

Its not that simple. It depends on the hardware.....my HD camcorder for example, it specifically states that it needs at least a class 4 card, otherwise the info cant be written to the card as fast as it needs to be and will error out. Im sure something similar is at play here. But with Motorola not specifying what class card its compatible with it becomes a trial by error. So far the most common thing among the many people who have had this problem is the class 10 card.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
Yes I agree I have been playing with HD camcorders for a few years and I understand that the medium whether it is a card or a disc or tape needs to be able to keep up with data stream being sent to it. Im sure something similar is at play here as well but a faster card shouldn't give negative results? You are right that a camcorder has a "minimum" rating but although a faster card will not necessarily give any better performance it certainly shouldn't be worse or cause issues like it appears to on these phones.

Logical, but its not always like that. Example....in car audio, the head unit sends signal via rca's to an external amplifier, the higher voltage the signal, the more efficient the amp will be and the better it will sound. So logic will tell you if you can get an 8v signal to the amp then it should sound lovely since most signals are 1-2volts....well, if ur amp can only handle up to 6v signal then feeding it an 8v signal will cause the amp to go into protect mode and not work right.

I use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.1.8.0, based on recommendations on other xdadevelopers forums such as Inspire 4G. Supposedly does a more thorough format than the stock Windows 7 utility (certainly takes longer). Using this, I have had zero problem using Class 6 and Class 10 cards.

I had my hopes up for this to work... but sadly it does not. Using a PNY 16 gb class 10 card.
It's a bust on the Dane Elec class 10 card. It doesn't say what class it is at New Egg but has a prominent 10 in a circle. Turns out that is for the warranty. It's a class 2 card, goes back today. After reading all this I may step down to a class 4 or 6.
NewEgg has a class 4 32gb card for $41 shipped ordered that based on what I've read

ok i got a nexus one and im using apps2sd I want more memory like 16gb I can get a class 2 for like 40 bucks but im under the impression that i need a class 4 or 6 what's the best for the money or should I just get the class 2? I mean im using a class 2 card now and I've had no problems with it
I cant seem to find a higher class card. I would really love one. Right now i have a class 4 4gig. I would also love an upgrade soon
For linux swap on the SD card you'd want a higher class card, but is it really critical for Apps2SD? Most of the Class 2 cards have a fairly respectable read speed - it's the write speed where they fall down. The main area you might notice a slower card would be on installing new apps. I'm not sure if your Apps2SD solution includes storing app data on the card, but the performance impact of that would depend on how much data the app keeps locally.

btw i use the 16gb a-data card and have no issues at all...it a much better price point compared to the newer 32gb cards at over 200 bucks
I'm using a class 2 16Gb SanDisk card and haven't had any issues with it.
Write speed can be a little slow, as someone mentioned. So installing large apps can take a little longer.
The /data directory is still on the internal storage, not on the card.
I don't have a Swap partition on my card either.
Music, movies, games, and apps have all been fine using app2sd on CM 5.0.5.3.
I got the Ridata class 6 from newegg when it was available for $48. reviews/speed are good.

It's actually class 4. :]
From what ive seen and heard is that its not neccesarily the class that determins the speed as it is the manufacturer. Sandisk from my understanding has the fastest cards out and that is in part why you pay a premium price for them. My buddy bought a 16gb class 10 , I honestly do not remember the manufacturer, and his old 8gb class 4 sandisk is way faster according to him. He was pretty pissed after finding that out.
I have a 32 gb Sandisk (class 2) in my Inc and I store all of my music and video on it.
I even have a couple of full 2 hour videos on it. I experience no lag or any other issues with it.
I have also installed the "Let's Golf 2" app from the leaked TB RUU on it and it runs flawlessly.
The only place where the speed is any issue for me is putting large files on the card, it is slow. But once the files are there the read speed is fine.
Sent from my Incredible using Tapatalk
As far as Sandisk over the last 5 years I have had 3 cards corrupt themselves and die. Usually it is within 6 months.
Since I switched to Kingston branded cards. From what I understand they are also sandisk but the batches that didn't meet standards for Sandisk themselves.
Anyway I've had this 16GB Kingston for well over a year and works faster than the Sandisk.
If any card would fail it would be running XDAndroid off the sd card like I am now.

Whatever class it comes with will be fine for me. I just can't wait for the xtra 16gb of storage. I know for most people that 16 is plenty, but with all the roms on my 16gb card, and switching it between my fascinate and incredible plus my 5gb of music that 16gb disappears quickly. I do like having the 8gb internal of the droid x but undone ever see myself using it all until androids apps get more polished, and with polish they will grow in size very fast. I can't wait til we has a preloaded maps that can work without cell signal!!! Go tbolt!
What sdcard can you recommend 16 or 32 GB? Of course I am considering only 16GB class 10 and 32 GB class 4.
I would like to know some points of view, like if it is useful to have 32GB rather than 16, how works the phone, I mean slower or normally with 32 and so on.
Thanks for your help
Well tell me this.. are you even using 16 or even 8gb of data on your micro sd card? 32 and 16 seem overkill.
Actually I have almost full my current 8GB, you know some ROMs for emulators ,some movies etc. so maybe 16 shall be ok.

My advice is that if you can afford to pay for a good 32gb from genuine traders, then go for a 32gb. It will save you the trouble of buying a 32gb sooner than later.
I have a 32gb on both my winmo and on my DZ. Can record without crossing everything for fear of running out of space.

Be very careful if you buy from eBay. I bought a fake, but since I had paid using paypal, I got my money back.
if you're going 32gb, then I'll be assuming you'll be putting your music library in there.
I"m also in the market for a 32gb micro sd (maybe if i can get my paws on a class 10, but that's really dropping some serious money on it [atleast for me]) since my music library is at a scant 16gigs (maybe more, but i havne't checked) so I wouldn't mind 32gb so i have lots of leeway to get my stuff in there.
There is only one question here:
Music or no music?
If you have music on your phone, go for the 32GB.
If not, I'd go for the faster 16GB.
I just bought a 32GB Class 10 Patriot card for a little over $100 at Frys .

I have one of these too, make SURE you follow the format instructions on patriots forums otherwise the card is going to go tits up and corrupt all your data once it stores over 16GB of data. There are "issues" with newer android/wm7 phones and patriot class 10 32gb microsd cards (they admit its true). Their current workaround/fix is to format it a specific way WITHOUT LBA and with 32k clusters.
I haven't tried it yet since, I said screw it, and went back to my 16GB a-data class 6. I lost all my data on the patriot 3 times and using my phone for music is not that important.
Other people on that forum say the "fix" works though so it may benefit you to format it per the instructions if you haven't already and you are worried about data loss.
I put the 32gb patriot card in my dslite so my daughter has more games to play. She's 6 and is beyond happy with all the stuff on it now. Anyways, here are the two important threads over on patriots website for the 32gb class 10 LX card.

Hi!
Is it stupid to buy a SanDisk class 2 SDCH card for my Sensation? Or does it not matter as long as it is SDHC?
I realy don't want a slow card this time and this new sensation maybe handles faster ones than my old HD2 did....
Please help to buy the right card
stick with a MINIMUM of class 4.
The classification of card is how fast the card reads and writes. This will help you understand....
http://dcom.me/iS9nz
I would go with class 10, for write and read speeds if you plan on watching movies or putting alot of content on the card, usually the bigger the card the higher the class you want...I have a 16gb class 2 and got a class 10 instead because it would lag loading all mp3's and photos
I have a Class 2 32GB Sandisk card in my SGSII, its fine for recording and decoding 1080p video, I suspect the same will be true of the Sensation (can confirm later, my Sensation should be with me later today).
If the budget is less of an issue then obviously you're better off with a faster card (not in terms of in-phone performance, but certainly for PC-card transfers).

Dont get a class 2 card......
I bought a 32GB Class 10 card. I bought this one.
The card needs special formatting in order for it to work in an Android phone properly. Otherwise it gets data corruption and eventually unreadable. Those instructions can be found here.
Once I did that it has worked flawlessly. No issues, fast data transfer and about 28.9GB of usable space. There are other Class 10 cards out there but I've seen issues reported on all of them. They may just need the same style formatting as this one.
DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT get less than a class 2 card. You will regret the time it takes to transfer files back and fourth and personally I don't recommend anything slower than a class 6. Here are some 16GB Class 6 cards for fairly cheap prices.

No, its vendor specific. Patriot cards are known to have issues on android.
Anyways, to your original question, anything but card capacity and class is irrelevant. The ultra is a marketing gimmick, nothing more.

Today I got my new 16 gb card class 2 ultra and in my test app the result was almost the same as my original one class 4 card.
I ran another test app and it reports my new card as a class 6 card.

Has anyone tried a 64GB microSD card in the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus?
I have a class 10 32GB one in there at the moment, but at £37 for a 64GB I'd love to expand it further, but I don't want to pay out for one if it doesn't work!
Does anyone know if 32GB is the most it will take, or can I get a 64GB one?
I would believe the 7.0 maxes out at 32GB. 64GB is SDXC, which isn't listed on any spec sheets, only SD and SDHC.
It works fine with 64 gb, mine does.

altho it said max is 32... The 64gb work fine...
more importantly, where from at £37.00 ?
Sorry, Google Shopping showed £37 as a price for a 64GB MicroSD, but when I got round to actually looking properly, it was an incorrectly labelled standard SD card.
Amazon are however selling them for £60 now, which means the price is coming down slowly!
I have a 64gb in mine and it works just fine.
amazon were nocking them out at £42 last week - I only bought one because I didn't believe it was genuine, even though they were supplied by amazon I was still suspicious. I wish I had taken a chance and ordered 2 or 3, because sure enough they are genuine sandisk cards and work well in all my devices - that's my tab, my xperia arc s and my Archos 70 IT2, I wish I'd bought one for each
Be careful of Class 10 or UHS 1 cards!

Just wanted to post a follow-up in this thread. At the time of these messages, the Class 6 cards were out, and it appears that they do work.
However, it's now September, and Class 10 cards are out, and they DO NOT work. The GT 7.7 people discovered (and I just "accidentally" confirmed on my stock ICS P6210) that Class 10 64GB cards get irreparably damaged when used on our Tabs. I have Class 10 cards in my S3 and Galaxy Note, and they're fine, but my P6210 just ate one on the first large file write - as has been seen on the 7.7 tabs as well!.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460201&page=7 and other posts for reference.
I've just ordered a Class 6 64GB card from Amazon, and expect no problems with it - but be warned that many people are having problems with the Class 10 cards, on the 7.7 and (now) the 7.0+ tabs.
FWIW, YMMV...
U just got to format the card to a suitable format, mine runs just fine on fat32.

Hey guys, just out of curiosity.
I have a couple of questions about the supported memory card for this device.
What is the maximum capacity supported by this drvice?
What is the fastest speed supported? (which class)
Thanks.

Alright. Looks like the safe bet is Class 6, 32GB.
Thanks.

Thanks for asking this question, I wasn't sure myself and was going to ask, until I saw this thread, but I am glad that this tablet can use a card of this capacity because my wife is using a 32gb class 10 that is just about full of music, movies and ebooks. So, I just surprise her with a bigger sd card after all.

Hi, I apologize for the mistake in my previous post, she is currently using a regular SanDisk class 4 card, she had previously used the Mobile Ultra series class 10 though before she decided to use it in her T989 instead since she was having boot loop issues with the regular class 4.
I bought it from Best Buy in August when it was on sale for $40.
She had 1 issue with the card though, when she was in the process of moving the files and folders off of her pc, where she had copied the contents of the class 4 sd card she previously used in her SGS2, to her new class 10, SD card.
All was fine, until she had copied her NANDROID back up folder which was about 3 or 4 gb in size, everything else had copied over just fine.
When she copied her NANDROID back up folder to the Mobile Ultra card from her W7 laptop, where she had previously copied the class 4 card, and after one file couldn't be copied, the card became corrupted, and she couldn't read the card in her computer, phone or tablet, and formatting it didn't work at all. I even tried in my own device, and although I was able to read it, when she couldn't, it wouldn't format in my phone or tablet either.
In Windows, it said something about the file name being too long, and it would not let either of us rename or delete the file because it said that it was write protected, (it wasn't) and then sometime after that, the file name had some gibberish and was 6gb in size and we could not format it at all.
This happened with both sd cards, and so, I took them back to Best Buy and got another Mobile Ultra card that she now uses in her phone, and since then she hasn't had any issues. I also bought a USB card reader, and used the new card with it just in case the issue was with the sd card adapter it came with.
That said though, the Mobile Ultra cards, worked just fine in her T869, it was just one file that was inside the NANDROID back up folder that corrupted both cards.
I recently ordered a Team 64GB MicroSDXC card from New eggs for my Galaxy Tab Plus. Like the SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC card, the Team card is also UHS-1. I installed it in my Tab Plus, where it initially recognized it.
As I started transferring some music files, the SD card stopped responding and the dreaded "damaged SD card message" popped up. I pulled out the SD card and tried to see if I could re-format it. However, in horror, none of my Windows 7 PCs could recognize it in my SDXC card reader; even Disk Management wasn't seeing anything! At that point, I concluded that my card was toast and was ready to return it. However, I decided to try to see if I could get it to work again before returning it, considering it was brand new.
I read through the thread on 64GB cards over at the Galaxy Tab 7.7 forums (as we share the same hardware and 64GB card issues) and found that some had found success with re-creating the partition table in Linux. I used Gparted, which saw the Team 64GB card, but had some initial difficulties, as the card would not stay mounted/visible for too long. After several inserts, I finally was able to wipe the corrupted partition on the card and used Gparted's option to re-create the partition table. After doing this, the dismounting issue disappeared, but Gparted still had trouble creating a full FAT32 partition on the card. I then tried zeroing it out with dd (same command that bex0rs used for his SanDisk 64GB card in the 7.7 thread). After a lengthy process, Gparted was finally able to create a full 64GB FAT32 partition without issue.
The Team 64GB SDXC card was then able to be seen by my Windows 7 PCs and I was able to transfer over 30 GB of content to the card without issue. Even my retired DROID Incredible and Nook Color were able to read and write to it fine. However, I have not tried it in my Galaxy Tab Plus, in fears that it would kill it, so I'm keeping it in my DROID Incredible for the mean time.
In short, if you want to try to salvage your dead 64GB MicroSDXC cards, you can try this. But it definitely seems that UHS-1 cards are the culprit with the Galaxy Tab Plus/7.7 tablets and should NOT be used in those tablets.

hi i have tried 64 gb class 10 ones since there was no class 6 available at the time, and the card always got damaged after the approximately 30gb of data was copied to card. But now I can see class 6 ones on online shop but really want to make sure whether it works or not since this is also uhs-1 card. If any one of you have tried class 6 SanDisk with more than 30 gb of data then please tell me about your experience.
Does P6200 support exFAT format of 32G micro SD and be used by bitcomet to write a 10G video file?
