[Q] 32gb micro-sd card problem with video playback - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
I have a motorola Xoom 3g 32gb with Android 3.2, the European version MZ601.
I have a problem with video playback on the 32GB microSD-cards: When I click on a video that I copied to 32GB microSD-cards, all players (mobo, XPlayer, rockplayer, etc. ..) are not able to read the video!
But if I copy the same video on a 8gb microsd-cards, I can watch the video and I have no problem!
My microsd-card is FAT32 formatted!
What do you think?
Can you help?
The strange thing is that some video to wmv or avi are reproduced well on the 32gb microSD, while others do not!

Have you checked the file size?

Could you check memory card classes ? Do they have the same class level ?
Class level is related to memory speed. Perhaps your 32GB card is too slow ...

...32gb micro-sd card is a class 10 card...
...8gb micro-sd card is a class 2 card...
..so, class 10 is better than class 2!..it's possible that 32gb class 10 is too slow!!

Now i try to test it with H2testw 1.4.. to know if my 32gb micro sd card is a fake card!!

I was going to suggest the same thing. If you bought your card cheaply from eBay or Amazon Marketplace, there's a good chance it's fake.
My 32GB Class 10 Lexar I got from Amazon (not the marketplace) works perfectly.

I bought a 32gb class 10 off eBay and it turned out to be a hacked 2gb class 2..
Be careful who you buy them from.

Upgrading microsd card

I want to upgrade the stock 4 GB microsd in my unrooted htc desire to a 16 GB microsd card. My question is can I copy what is on the 4 GB microsd and transfer them to the new 16 GB microsd and just insert it in? would all programs work?
many thanks for your help.
Yet, the apps are on the phones memory and the info is on the SD card so you can just copy across.

Cheers for the helpful reply.
Are ebay unbranded 16GB microsd cards reliable? Do they work?

I agree - I had lots of problems with an unbranded 16GB card. Eventually ebay closed the seller down as there were so many complaints. I did get my money back via paypal. I finally bought a branded 32GB card - costly (EUR100!), but I love having so much space for my music / video.
Is there really a need for anything above class 4?
My HTC Desire came with a sandisc 4GB class 2. I want to get a larger card, but never had any reading issues with the class 2, and music and video played off it with ease.
I've seen the following item here, which is for a class 6.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-m...r-TS16GUSDHC6/dp/B001PLIG5Y/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
Anyone got one of these?
I've just bought the 'ultra' version of Sandisk's 16GB microsd card and I am very impressed with it so far.
Personally, I always feel that it is best to stick with the tried and trusted brands, and sandisk products have always been excellent for me
I just bought a 16GB SanDisk class 2 from amazon and it writes on average at 5MB ish
-------------------------------------
Sent from my HTC Desire
I thought the class number i.e. 2 meant the read and write speed 2Mbps. Therefore class 6 would be 6Mbps. If you have a class 2 and get 5Mbps then that is pretty impressive.
The Class of the SD card is simply the *minimum* sustained write speed on a card which is completely unfragmented. So, a completely blank Class 2 card should always be able to write large files out at least 2mb/s, but can easily be faster.
My 16gb Sandisk Class 2 reads at 20mb/s and writes at 7.5mb/s - well above the Class 6 minimums.
Regards,
Dave
my 32gb is a class 2 and i have zero issues with streaming video or music from the card, i expect when i root that apps will not be an issue either. plenty of read write speed.
the higher classes are for devices that require a higher bitrate for recording such as mini hd recorders and such.
Im running a SanDisk 16GB Class 6 and its like Lightning!

Micro SDHC Compatibility

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

External MicroSD Card

What is a better Micro SD Card
Toshiba or Sandisk?
I was thinking of getting the Toshiba 16GB for AUD$35
and those who have an external MicroSD in their SGS, do you mainly put your music in there?
Apps & images you save in the internal memory?

Sandisk should be pretty good even if they under rate their cards, I usually store anything that I can afford to lose at anytime on the internal memory and my photo/music and ect on the external card. Usually I store movies on the internal mem since ill be deleting it often.
any branded microsd will be fine, i've used the sandisk 16gb C2, toshiba 16gb C2, adata 32gb C2 and now i have a lexar 32gb C10.
I ended up getting the Toshiba 16GB Class 4. The store ran out of Sandisk 16GB

at least class 6...
brands like kingstone,sandisk,trascend etc

These guys have some of the best prices in the EU:
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC?filters=size:16384#allProducts
Got a 16GB sandisk class 4 that has been tested to run at class 6 read and almost 6 at write.
Now there is a sale on integral, kingston and sandisk, all at class 4.

Lexar are maybe the best memory avaiable.
I bought a Mustang 16gb class10
done some test:
18-20mb/s read
15-17mb/s write
so fast
If you can recommend the Mustang Cards i think i'll try one as well as they are really cheap compared to other cards (~35€ for 32GB instead of 45€-60€). Will get the 32GB though.
yes i have one olso on my digital camera and 0 problems

I have an ADATA 32GB SDHC class 4 but when connected via USB cable in mass storage mode the write speed stays below 300KB/s.
If I place the card in a USB adapter the writing speed is about 4,6MB/sec.
What is the problem? Thanks!

Lexar or Samsung 32gb MicroSD Card Recommend?

Hi guys i am looking to buy a 32gb Class 10, MicroSD card for my Desire, i am planning to partition it so i can have more internal space. After searching the market for a competitive price, i have came down to 2 options:
Lexar 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 Extreme Speed
Samsung MB-MSBGAEU 32GB Class 10 Micro SD Card
I would appreciate if users here can recommend me which one i should go for and why (if owned either and used) ?
Thanks alot
As far as I know, many of the higher class cards have been produced by biasing performance to continuous read/write speeds, for use in camcorders/cameras etc so they can record ultra HD or burst capture etc. HOWEVER, for use in a phone, which needs greater random read/write access they can suffer compared to a regular class 4 which is a better balanced card. There is a lot of this going on in the HTC Mozart pages here on XDA, where I've been spending time (had a Mozart, ROM'd it and gave it to my girlfriend, she loves it).
Many people have tried different 32gb/16gb cards, different classes from 2-10 and the results have been surprising. WP7 seems to be unusually fussy about the cards that will actually work with it, and the only card guaranteed to work everytime is SANDISK which says a lot about the quality, and people have been finding that performance with a Class 4 SanDisk card is better than performance with a supposed Class 10 card by another manufacturer such as Integral, Transcend etc or even Samsung and Kingston.
In the end I bought a 32gb SanDisk Class 4 off Amazon, for a lot more than they are on eBay at around £28, apparently there are loads of near-fakes on eBay (only way I could guarantee it was genuine- the chinese are using genuine 4gb SanDisk cards and then re-branding and re-coding them as 32gb, the card thinks it's a 32gb, reports that it's a 32gb card but obviously runs out of room and has errors as soon as you try to put stuff on it).
Hope this helps- generally you get what you pay for and if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.
I bought yesterday a samsung class 6, 16 GB micro-sd card.
H2testw:
Writing speed: 10.00 MByte/s
Reading speed: 15.5 MByte/s
i know this post is about 20 days old, but maybe you haven't choosen a sd card yet
i first got a 16gb lexar class 6 card -> everything was fine
now i got a 32 gb samsung class 10 card
and i must say there is no remarkable speed/transfer difference
so buy a card which is class 6 or higher and everything should be fine
I have the Lexar class 10 32Gb card in my Desire, no problems. I bought it from Amazon during their Black Friday sale.

I think I have fallen foul of this, I bought two 32gb cards from'micro sd cards uk' @ about 15 quid each and I cant write to them properly they are class 10 so they should be ok but I have nothing but probs with them on two laptops with different cards readers,
Ill contact the vendors tomorrow Ill keep you posted.
Sounds very cheap for a class 10 32gb card, I bought my samsung one around christmas for £35 and that was the cheapest price at the time!

I thought that the maximum allowed for Desire was 16 gb. Mine is 16 gb (Samsung), with good data transfer performance. By the way, in your situation I would go for Samsung.
