Does anyone know what is the best external SD card for the Skyrocket? Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston, etc.? Is it worth the money to get a microSDHC card instead of a normal microSD? What is a reasonable price?
Thanks!
sdhc just means it's more then 2GB. if you want a good sd card go for class 10. the class is a grouping of how fast it is for reads and writes but not all class 10 cards are the same some are way faster then others. some people are huge fans of some brands I don't care that much as you still have no idea for some of the brands as to who made the chip.
I just got a 32GB microSDHC Full HD Class 10 SAMSUNG for 53.49 free shipping from a trusted seller in Ebay. I just got it tonight and it works amazing! it comes sealed in retail package and it has warranty.
If you are interested i can send you a link.
Thanks for the replays. I just got a Samsung 16gb microSDHC class 10 plus with SD adapter for 30 bucks at Fry's in Indy. I will see how it goes.

I'm looking to get a new micro sd card, as my 8gb is out of room and frequently unmounts or goes read-only on my mobile. Im wondering where to get one and what kind of 16gb sd card I should get as after looking on ebay its a bit hard to tell what is fake and what isnt and I dont know any other stores that sell them..
Preferably class4+ and size 16gb
I live in australia by the way..
There is a guy selling some in the market here for $20, legit.
But I think there class 4 cards.
And this is the one thing that I wouldn't trust ebay with because there are so many fakes.

Wow nice, if only I lived in canada...
Do you know of a legitimate online store that sells them? I remember a thread that had good quality ones but I forgot the name of it and at the time they were out of stock..
Actually the guy selling them lives in the states.
Hi,
I had the same problem with the sporadically unmounts (sometimes several times a day) so I decided to buy a different card. I bought a class 4 Kingston 16GB sdhc on eBay. I paid in Germany about 29 Euro for it.
Now there are no more problems with the storage. I hope I could help you.

I've just ordered Patriot 16gb Class 10 through Amazon, it costs 30++ USD without shipping (considered very cheap for class 10 and it has quite a good review from users).

I'm using a Kingston 16GB class 4 card bought from Amazon, in my honest opinion I think that class 10 is much of a muchness and the price difference can be vast.
I would not buy from Ebay, chances of getting a fake is much higher here, rather use Amazon or some other reputable seller.
What is the cluster size did you format.
I got a few off ebay. They start low, around 1$ and go up, i got one for 11$ before.
i SO need to get me a bigger sd card!
Hello guys and gals,
I am starting to feel the pinch with an 8 Gb memory card and wondered if anyone had found a good, cheap and compatible 16 or 32 Gb micro SD cards for the Desire S.
EBay seems to have some 32gb cards for about 10 GBP which sounds insane.
Anyone got a suggestion for this UK Desire S user?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
You don't want a cheap one, spend those 30€ on a class 10 card. It's well worth it its faster and will probably not die on u as some cheap one might.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Do NOT buy cards from ebay. They will always be fake, when they arrive they will say 32gb but if you perform a scan with a tool it shows its actual capacity to be 1gb! Don't fall for it like I did!
Just use google shopping and search for the cheapest price for a memory card from a reputable site.
In fact, I see you're in the UK and theres a good deal on from play:
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/16710254/Lexar-16GB-Micro-SDHC-Memory-Card-Class-4/Product.html
I bought a 16GB class 6 about half a year ago for £18 so this is a pretty good deal.
From experience classes dont make much of a difference at all, maybe miniscule. This card comes with a 5 year warranty so no need to worry about it dying on you.
I ordered a 16gb class 10 y/day from play for £17.99 It's Pny but will do the job
Cheers for the replies. I thought eBay would have been a rip but you never know with that place, some crazy deals happen and we miss them because we fear them (and quite rightly 99% of the time).
Might pounce on the 16 Gb Class 10 from Play.com.
Anyone know if the Desire S can take 32Gb cards and are there any good deals on those? Best I've found is £38, give or take pennies.
Far as I know yeah it can handle a 32gb
Yes, it can! =)
Mine is MicroSDHC 32GB Transcend Class4 (TS32GUSDHC4). Works good.
I got my 16 Gb today and its working fine
Did anyone tested an A-DATA / KINGMAX 16GB, class 10?
I got a scandisk 16gb.. works great!

I bought a Samsung 16GB Class10 microSD, works like a charm...
bought a sandisk 16gb class 4, everything is running fast and without problems, don't know if you would "feel" a higher class at all
I spent a lot of time looking on the 'net for a reasonable price 32GB card.
Saw plenty on Ebay but many looked untrustworthy (had a bad experience before!)
Eventually collected a 32GB Class 4 card for £35 from Novatech, local to me.
The Novatech card I got turned out to be Integral brand with 5 year warranty.
It's actually a Toshiba manufactured card made in Japan, so I'm happy with it.
The camcorder app seems to work better with the Class 4 card than it did with the supplied Samsung 8GB Class 2.
I bought Toshiba 16gb class 4 and it is good working.
Been using a 16 GB Class IV Transcend Micro SD card, everythings been peachy so far. Finding a legit 32 GB Class IV Micro sd card is so hard here in my neck of the woods.
Prolly just want to keep 16gb as 32gb is still too expensive. Can anyone recommend one?

Don't order yet, I have just purchased a $35 32GB Class 4 from Amazon. (one that has numerous happy reviews on amazon)
Once it gets here and I confirm its quality and speed you should follow suit. I have faith that this one wont be a counterfeit card like all those on ebay for under $50.
I'd say as long as the card is quality, the Class # doesn't mean much. My 16GB card is a Class 2 but the slowest I've seen it run is 5MB/s.
I was looking at the 32Gb Patriot Class 10 card on Amazon... tempting!

If speed nor 32gb is a concern, I just bought a 16gb class 4 at the price of $USD 2.99. The price went up a bit. But for $2.99, it was worth upgrading from my 2gb stock sd card! However, there is no micro to sd card adapter included. That wasn't an issue for me because I already own three of them.

I have the SanDisk Ultra 64 and its been nothing but problems. It will randomly corrupt files on my card, deletes all pics and videos and randomly unmounts. Have no idea what the issue is. The only way to get it to work again is copy what I can to my external hdd. Then reformat the card. it works for a couple weeks, then it does it again.
Unfortunately Amazon had no return policy on this card. I've been thinking of just ordering another or trying a Samsung card. But I thought SanDisk was the company to go with the memory card game. Who knew.
Anybody have issues with the Samsung card??

ive had a 64gb sandisk since they came out and BB did the first 79.99$ sale. No issue's at all. Maybe you guys got a bad batch?
Yeah seems you guys got a bad batch got mine when amazon had "new - open box" for 18 bucks.
I have 3 sandisk 64gb card. One in my phone,galaxy tab 2, and in my galaxy player. I haven't had no problem.
I was one of the lucky folks who grabbed the 64gb from verizon when they had a typo (24.99) / I was fixed in less than 2 hours / I just happened to be snooping around XDA and found the tip (posted about 2 minutes before I got there). / No issues / However, I moved the card to my Nook HD for movies and stuff and have a 32GB in the S3. I will probably take the advice I see here and go with Sammy. Most likely, it's gonna be more compatible. Damn! This phone is getting more expensive every day, and I don't even have it yet [650 phone, 40 case, 60 memory, ugggh]
