I just ordered a T-mobile Desire and I wanted to get a decent sized SD card for it to take away with me. I had a couple of questions though:
I wondered if I needed any special type of SD card. I looked on Dabs and they have SD cards that have a different class such as class 2, 3, 10, 8 etc.
I wondered if the Desire had some of the same issues as the HD2 has had. That if you use larger SD cards, they might not work or somehow drain the battery. So I wondered if it's best to keep the size down?
Lastly, I wondered where is best to buy SD cards from in the UK to get the best deals?
I also wondered where is best to buy second batteries on price as I am going away and definitely want a 2nd battery to take with me.
Cases too..... are they worth getting?
Thanks

Regarding the SD Cards, "Class" is attributed to the speed of the SD Card eg. Class 8 has a higher data transfer rate than Class 2. So when you can, always go for the highest class memory card as this will improve transfer speeds and also if you use Apps2sd on Android (install apps on sd card) it will result in better performance. I have no idea about the issue regarding battery drain, however, I have never noticed any visible changes in battery life using large (16/32gb) cards in my Nexus One over smaller ones.
As for batteries, cases etc. Ebay is always my first stop for accessories. I have bought numerous items from reputable sellers at prices far lower than specific online retailers. Don't be sucked in by gimmicky branding such as "invishield" or "raptor skin" etc, you'll find they all come from the same Hong Kong factories. That said, you tend to get better finishes on the more expensive products but I am using a silicone skin that cost £2.85 and bought 5x screen protectors for 99p and everything is sweet!!
Enjoy the Desire.
Regards.
thanks for the help on the class thing. I didn't know! I'll have to find where in the UK is best to buy the cheapest 16 gig SD card
dunno about apps2sd but when playing music I only have a class 2 SD which set me back about £22 for a 16gb one from ebay UK seller and it all works fine. Though as far as I am aware the better the class the faster the SD card I think ill only use mine for music atm and happy with what its doing
If you can afford it though go for the best class you can!
I'll have to have a look on ebay. I think I'll look for a silicon case for it if I can.
I'll also look on ebay for a 16 gig card too..... thanks.
ebay or ebuyer are probably the cheapest for that sort of stuff unfortunately dabs is quite expensive
I want to go for a 16GB card but I'm also wanting a fast one but struggling with finding anything above a Class 2. Can anyone point me at any 16GB Class 4, 6 or 8's they come across.
Many thanks!

The best price I found for official HTC batteries was Handtec. Even with their postage, it's still very good value (total £18.19) and they say they have them in stock.

that's a great deal. I looked at that last night. However, as I want to get two SD cards. One for music and another for stuff like video etc, i thought I'd have a really good look. Managed to find one on play.com for £17.99.

That isn't micro SD.
I'm too looking out for a class 8 (or so) microSD card that is 16GB. Not had much luck.
Thank goodness Mr goose added a link. I just checked again what he bought and yes, I got it wrong. Thank goodness for double checking and Mr goose adding a link!
Back to looking.
I currently have a Sandisk Class 4 8Gb Micro SDHC in my Blackberry Bold, which I will probably transfer to my Desire (when I get it).
Do you think this would be fast enough for Apps2SD (when the Desire gets rooted)?
What is the fastest class out there at the moment?
I will eventually buy a 16 or 32Gb one I think, but will stick to the 8Gb at the moment.

I saw some class 8 cards......
Just to let you guys know you don't really need class 8.
I have a class 2 16gb card. Apps2SD was fine on the G1 and ran like they were on the actual phone (even though people recommend 4 or 6).
The data transfer rate is also fine.
16GB MicroSDHC Cards on Amazon
I had a little look around last week and found the following speedy, but expensive 16GB cards on Amazon:
Transcend 16 GB Class 6 microSDHC Flash Memory Card £52.67
KINGSTON 16GB microSDHC Class 10 Flash Card £85.11
Personally, I feel that's too much money. I think it's a better idea to come down a size to 8GB, because you can find the following:
Transcend 8 GB Class 6 microSDHC Flash Memory Card £13.99
You can buy several 8GB cards for the price of those 16GB jobbies if you don't mind swapping them. Also, time will eventually bring the price of those 16GB high speed cards down to a more sensible level, if you're prepared to wait.
I haven't yet decided whether or not to replace the supplied 4GB card, but if I do, it'll be one of those <£15 8GB cards.
I would have posted the above as links, however, this board thinks I'm trying to post spam. So you'll have to paste the above descriptions into amazon.co.uk and search for these yourself.

I'm not saying it would be a problem for you but you've already got a Desire yes? You are aware that the memory card is not "hot swappable" as the battery has to be removed to get the card out?
What I am saying though is, personally, it would drive me nuts.
Kingston have recently released a class 10 16gb microsd, but as you can imagine, it's a bit pricey! Most retailers online have it for sale at about £85-90.
Looks like a class4, can't really read. Labeled as sanDisk and ships from China.
I have no affiliation with the seller.

that looks too good to be true- Im tempted!
When something seems to be too good to be true it usually is.
Memory cards aren't something you wanna be cheap about. Specially since cheaper knock off cards tend to have memory failure randomly and early in their lives.
It would suck to have lots of important pictures and data on the card and it to stop working!
posted from a EPIC4G.
Those are fake. They will format as 32gb if you are lucky, but the instant you add more than 16gb or 8gb or whatever it actually is, the data will be "corrupted" or some other nonsense, since its not actually 32gb.
Do NOT get memory cards on ebay for all the reasons mentioned above. I have personal experience with some of these.

Unfortunately I consider all memory cards on ebay knockoffs. They Suck!! Suck bad!!! I consider myself a pretty enthusiastic photographer and purchase memory cards for my camera quite often and in the period of a year I bought 3 of them from ebay just to test and one got corrupted within a month, another just died as in couldn't be recognized at all, the third one worked and then one day i went to format it and it said format successfull only that I could never write to it again. It would always give me a write error, or the message on the camera would show up to change memory cards.
They are horrible horrible cards.
Compared to the ones I buy in newegg, even the cheaper brand ones from transcend worked flawlessly. I think once with transcend I push the card in really fast, and it gave me the change memory card error but the card still works once i took it out and put it back in carefully.
Sorry man, some things ebay is good for and other things its just not so please avoid.
it was removed off of ebay.
FWIW I've actually had good luck with the Microcenter branded micro sd's. I've used them in phones and cameras for the last couple of years and haven't been let down yet. I even have one in my Windows 7 lappy for that readyboost feature.

Yea I didnt think they did but i haven't been in there in a while. That is good news about it working though I think ill ask santa for one for christmas.
I'm in the Columbus store at least once a week to grab stuff for work and to go next door to Gallo's for lunch and they still don't have anything larger than 16. It took then a while before they carried the 16 so hopefully they will get a 32 in soon.

Great reviews--good price
I ordered and will report back--just curious if anyone else has info on this. I think mine is on its last leg--after over 18 months of high usage.
Thanks,
Ken
Looks like a good deal! Do you know who the OEM is?
Nice tip. just ordered one, mine current one is left over from my mytouch3g and has been heavily used. It is a good price and should be a good backup!
Couldn't find OEM, but to busy at work to research much.
I would bet a major company though and just rebranded--I least I hope so--
But 63 solid reviews is best I have seen. Longterm, to soon to tell.
Wanted a 32gb, but reviews to mixed on them so far. Maybe Lexar. Just don't need 32gb atm.
However, since it is suppose to be here today--I guess it doesn't matter, for me anyway.
Will try to format/partition tomorrow or asap and post results--
Ken
Well it sucks--
DOA
It was made in Taiwan
Requested an Exchange--will try one more time

You can get Adata class 10 cards all day from Newegg for less than 30$, or if you have a Microcenter near you they have house brand class 10 cards for like 25$.
Thanks ctfrommn
I looked at them awhile back but reviews were not real good for a 16gb class10
23% of reviewers gave it a 1
I have an Adata now 16gb class6, it has been fine for over a year
Will get my second Amazon tomorrow and hope for better results--

Will be interested in the results also, I am still using a 16gb Sandisk class 2, class 6 speed though.
Just ordered one of these as well. Will report back in a few days when it arrives!
Well the second one popped right up
write is 8gb read 14.3
Transfers started out slow but picked
Rebooted to rom blank icons--repair sd no go
restored a nandroid--icons back
formatted and partitioned as usual 3 to 4ext, although last rom I used Cool Alignment zip which should be just taking you to ext4. So, not sure?
All seems ok atm
Will see how long term goes
I guess to put it into perspective I have sd speed boost at 2048 and speed test showed 9.1 write and 28 read for whatever it is worth.
Got mine this morning. Hooked it to my Ubuntu netbook and used gparted to format it. It seems faster than the class 6 I was using. Overall seems like a good deal.
I am hoping--
Mine just arrived today, getting 8.6 to 9.2 on the write, 19.1 to 19.8 on read using SD tools. This was on stock gingerbread. Will be flashing CM 7.1 later tonight and try again. So far pretty happy with the purchase. Definitely faster than my old class 6!
yea i need to try my old class 6 and see what sd tools says
real world with card reader 12.6 tops today read. but it starts at 5 or 6 goes up to 8-9 and doesn't hit 12 till toward the end. not sure if that is normal. i think small files are slower and the big one have higher read speeds.

I've bought a so called Sandisk 16GB Class 10 SDHC Card online with a price pretty much lower than this, but there's no brands on it, the one who sold it to me claimed that it's actually a leaked-out OEM card for Samsung. Not so safe it seems, but still runs well for so long.
Just bagged one of these for £39.99, thought it was a good deal

Hello,
I have it, bought on Amazon at 32€
It works fine.
I bought Lexar 32gb class 10 for 47$...
www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSDHC-Memory-Reader-LSDMI32GBSBNAR/dp/B004AM610M
Waiting for delivery...
I can vouch for LEXAR. perfect at around 10MBPS for video files and ROM zips lol. Bought mine for 50
Thanks for the heads-up on this.
Been looking around for a while for a decent 32GB card and this seems to be the cheapest of it's kind. There are some cheaper ones around but a lower class of 6 or 4.

In for the updates.
I currently have a Patriot 32GB Class 10... It's awful. Likely the worst card on the market. I've had so many issues with it. It corrupts easily. It's happened a few times this year. Each time it did it I lost just about everything on the card. (Luckily I use TI Media Sync to back up my card to my FTP server.)
I don't use USB to mount the card as a drive that often. Usually I use Samba or something to wirelessly move files. But the times it has corrupted was when it was either sitting idle or I was watching a video.
I just ordered the ADATA 32GB Class 10 since it's got a lot of good reviews. But I'd like to see how you guys do with this card. I could always sell my ADATA card and buy this one if it turns out to be better.
EDIT:
Never mind. I canceled my order for the ADATA card and just ordered the US version of this one. I like Samsung products. Their SSDs are freaking amazing and their customer support has been really good so far. This one was only $2 more than the ADATA one so it wasn't worth the wasted time to try the ADATA first.

Been running ADATA 32G C10 card for quite a few months now . Not a single hiccup
ever ! Great card quality and highly recommended .
I am waiting for micro sd's to go on sale. Lexar 32gb one on amazon up to $66 ._.
Got the Samsung card today.
First off, it's the first and ONLY large capacity SD card I've put into my laptop that was recognized. My Laptop has recognized all cards 4GB and down, but it didn't recognize either of my 16GB or 32GB cards without asking to reformat them. I don't know why. I wasn't expecting my laptop to recognize this 32GB card. But it did. So that's a BIG plus.
Secondly, I'm using RoboCopy to move over all my stuff from my phone over USB to the new card in the SD slot. There's about 20GBs of crap to send over. Robocopy isn't telling me how fast it's going, but it's taking about 5 seconds to copy over 100 MB, so I put that at > 10MB/s easily. Probably a lot faster. I'll run crystal mark on it as soon as I get done copying my crap over and then I'll do an SD Speed test on my phone.
For the record I've never been able to get the Patriot 32GB card in my phone right now to write faster than 8MB/s (which I honestly believe is due to the phone's limitations, not the cards).
The only reason I'm changing cards at all is because the Patriot keeps corrupting. I've lost so much, thanks to the patriot SD. The one week I turned off Titanium Media Sync is the one week my SD card freaked out. LOL That'll teach me to turn off backup.
Anyway, I'll post up the results from both cards if I have time.

FYI, SanDisk's having a black Friday sale. the 32gb micro sdhc is $50 on their site. can't make out what class from the pic on my mobile.
I would have bought SanDisk if I could find a class 10 micro SD, but I couldn't find ANYONE who sold a SanDisk 32GB class 10.
I think that pretty much all 32GB Class 10 MicroSDs are garbage and SanDisk doesn't want to tarnish their name.
On the flip-side, I've found that the Samsung is just as fast on my Sensation as the Patriot, which is fine. I never had a problem with speed. Lets see how long this one lasts, though.
I found out about two weeks ago there was a 128 gb micro sd out, and it was going for $200, but if you pre ordered it with Amazon you only paid $119.00, but you had to wait 4-6 weeks for it to be sent to you. I didn't have the extra funds in my account to get this.
So i said to myself i'll wait, and get it when i have to extra cash to spend. Now that i have it, Amazon is no longer selling it at that price.
here's why on the bottom of of the amazon page.

Here are my rules with buying flash:
1) "never buy flash sd or micro sd from online retailer. Period!
2) only buy flash sd or micro sd from a store with an excellent return policy such as bestbuy or futureshop.
Yes you'll pay premium dollar but the reality is there are fake memory cards everywhere and the retalers don't even know they are selling it and if they don't even know they are selling it, good luck proving it!
Also 69 is way too good to be true! you need at least clash 10 on android and and heck Sandisk is the only memory card manufacturer that has proven their use on android, if it not Sandisk, forget about it!
I hate fake memory cards, worst thing about them is how much time you invest in trying to fix them! You spend the first week in denial that you could possibly been sold a fake memory card and spend all this time formatting and re-formatting them with different applications and operating systems, try different roms, different kernel combinations, posting help because your rom is acting buggy, lose data? and all the while reason for all your woes has been due to using a fake memory card.
Very probably fake, i was buying mine twp months ago and the one with the largest storage was 64 gb. More than enough for 99% of uses.
That wouldn't even work for our phone. You going to use it on the Find 7 or something?

Works just fine, as has been shown numerous times. At the moment the specsheet for the S4 was made there were no 128GB cards.
So I assume you just looked at the specs to get that (wrong) assumption?

NOTE must be formatted to Fat32 to best compatability, also depending on your kernel.
Sandisk are making some (soon) though?
The 128GB card works on the S4, even though I have mine in my Note 3.

I found out about two weeks ago there was a 128 gb micro sd out, and it was going for $200, but if you pre ordered it with Amazon you only paid $119.00, but you had to wait 4-6 weeks for it to be sent to you. I didn't have the extra funds in my account to get this.
So i said to myself i'll wait, and get it when i have to extra cash to spend. Now that i have it, Amazon is no longer selling it at that price.
here's why on the bottom of of the amazon page.

But i found this on Newegg and i wonder if it's, because i can't find this product on the web.
But if it is, it's only $69.95 with extras....Please reply and help me make a choice.

I believe he was talking about the Samsung from Newegg. This is definitely fake. As said before, anything above 32GB is SDXC, not SDHC like in the picture. Also Samsung has not yet releases 128GB. Also, look at the picture. "12" is of a different font /size than "8". The reviews for the seller "Redtagonline" has 2 stars out of 5. Just preorder from Amazon. Make sure you format it as either Fat32, or eXFat if your Kernel supports exFat

Have you actually copied files/data to it to fill it to its advertised capacity?
Sent from my rooted GS4 running GoldenEye 26 while holding a homebrew.
Man, Amazon still advertising @ $119 but been out of stock forever.
I have the Sandisk 128gb from Amazon in my S4, it works great without problem.
The micro sd to SD card adapter that comes with the micro SD did not work with either PC or Mac, so I had to plug my card into my card reader instead, which worked fine.

Here are my rules with buying flash:
1) "never buy flash sd or micro sd from online retailer. Period!
2) only buy flash sd or micro sd from a store with an excellent return policy such as bestbuy or futureshop.
Yes you'll pay premium dollar but the reality is there are fake memory cards everywhere and the retalers don't even know they are selling it and if they don't even know they are selling it, good luck proving it!
Also 69 is way too good to be true! you need at least clash 10 on android and and heck Sandisk is the only memory card manufacturer that has proven their use on android, if it not Sandisk, forget about it!
I hate fake memory cards, worst thing about them is how much time you invest in trying to fix them! You spend the first week in denial that you could possibly been sold a fake memory card and spend all this time formatting and re-formatting them with different applications and operating systems, try different roms, different kernel combinations, posting help because your rom is acting buggy, lose data? and all the while reason for all your woes has been due to using a fake memory card.

I've had better luck with returns with Amazon than with Worst Buy which will never get my business again. To each his own.
