i can't buy from amazon as it does not ship to my country.
I would suggest not buy from Hong Kong
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Usually HK means lower price but higher risk (not getting the goods or getting something worse then expected). The good feedback in this case should be a good index
I've bought SD Cards on eBay and had no issues.
It's usually when the price is too good to be true that it can be a scam.
I've heard of 16gb cards being labelled (and hacked) as 64gb cards. When you
reach the 16gb limit, the card get corrupted.
does the price look right? i bought it as the seller got very good feedbacks and there is a 7days return policy

Seems alright. What I usually do is compare to the retail price, and the price on "discount" technology websites.
Remember that postage can take over a month from China / Hong Kong, so the 7 day return policy isn't really much use if you buy from there.
I'm a little dubious of cards out of HK as I have been bitten before..
That said, I bought a 16GB Sandisk class10 (which is great!) recently from a local seller, and the price on this one lines up with what I paid for them (I bought 2 x 16GB for about the same price your seller is asking for the 32).
thx for ur tips and recommendations! the price looks right so i think it's genuine.. already ordered.. now waiting receiving it .. will post feedback when it arrives... hope everything goes well

Same price at amazon selling from SanDisk their self. Better do more research.
But one more thing. SanDisk doesn't fit Desire, at least this model. I have a same card but a genuine one, doesn't work. You can take a look at my post, would suggest you buy another brand, like samsung.

If you have Clockwork recovery, then you can do it in that.
Put the card in, boot into recovery, go to advanced (I think), chose Partition SD Card.

I was told that CWM card partitioning is no good. I couple of weeks, phone can suffer errors and substantial laggs.
I replaced CWM recovery with 4EXT Touch Recovery. Great stuff.
You have abaaaabbbb63's tutorial HERE how to partition SD card via 4EXT. I did it and it is perfectly align and working great.

Hey guys
found these on ebay, iv ordered one and then thought, hang on what if its not compatible
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-32GB-TF-M...684631551QQcategoryZ18871QQvarZQQcmdZViewItem
Yes, its compatible.
But it looks way to cheap to be real.
And he sells 256GB USB thumb drive for 14GBP. Its unreal, scam.
yeah exactly what i thought, i will however report back once i hear anything, or if i dont, i got the standard "thank you for purchasing" email
he has over 100 feedback, and it seems from creditable purchasers
well fingers crossed!

I have another question since we are on the Topic of SD cards, is there a particular reason i cant use a 64gig card on my infuse or captivate. is there a way to make this happen. any tricks, or is just not possible (32 gig is great) but i would still like to know.
I'd love to jump in on this (though the chip could be fakes), but the reviews for Daily Steals is terrible.
http://www.viewpoints.com/DailySteals-com-review-2b587
Has anyone tried Daily Steals before and would like to give feedback?
I've used them for several purchases ranging from SD cards to an Augen tablet (ugh). Even some wireless mice...
All transactions were legit. Items shipped in a reasonable amount of time and were never incorrect.

Uhmmm i have one in my hand....lol
yes it is real, im not imagining it. i bought it, it was like 120 dollars
They were just announced in May and Kingston is the only maker so far.
They are NOT on the market yet.
How did you get one?
i just assumed that they were available, shot over to my moms house(she buys things online, i dont) gave her the money and told her to order me one. she found it and it arrived 2 days later.
its exactly the same as my 32gb card. just has a 64 on it.
so is this not possible to use at this moment??

It's likely to be a fake, because I doubt some random company would have a 64GB Micro SD card before the bigger companies.
well its looks real, obviously i cant test to see if its "Real" ( my phone didnt recognize it, and i dont have one of those adaptors to plug into my computer.
ahhh well, was worth a try. i hope she didnt order me a Fake - Damnnnn it.

Sorry bro, but I think you got 'gotten'. Not only that, but our current devices aren't likely to have the architecture to handle a 64gb card. Ever.

its looking that way, i honestly bought it never thinking about if my phone would even see it. just thought it would. smh, error on my part. especially when the Miui on my Captivate wouldnt even see the 32gb i have.
but im still hopeful that it at least has 64gb of space, at least i can some use out of it. wont know till i can plug into something.
thanks for the info yall. as i stated i just put money in hand and told her to order it.
Do you guys have any feedback on the SD card below? I was going to get a scandisk sdcard..but I have seen bad reviews that the sdcard is un-mounting on the S4. or do you guys recommend another sd card let me know.

Has xcellent reviews. Both Sony & Amazon will stand behind it. I got the Samsung one & it's perfectly flawless so far.

I've had my samsung 64gb uhs1 for a week now. The kern that came with my rom didnt supoort exfat sd cards. So I flashed kt kernal and it works flawlessly. Stock kernal supports exfat btw.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
As far as i am aware about that sd card, it should run flawless. I have one with the same specs, only it.s from Samsung. It.s even on sale the sd card, it would be a shame not to buy it. Have fun with it, and may you have no problems using it !
I have Scandisk extreme 64gb, I have had no issues with it its far quicker than any card our there as it reads and write 80mbs more costly than the rest but a massive thumbs up from me on this one
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The "unmounting SD card" problem has more to do with the kernel than anything else. I've had a SanDisk card and it's worked fine with the KT kernel -- so there's really no need to buy a Samsung card.
I started to buy one from Amazon on black Friday. I put it in my cart and forgot about it. Now the price has jumped back up. What a dummy.
I suggest that you get the SanDisk Ultra 64GB, lifetime warranty and no hassle using it.
I have the SanDisk Ultra 64GB and it works great in 4.2.2, but then with 4.3 and 4.4 I had to root the phone to modify platform.xml to allow apps to save files to the SD card. Works for me since I have the Google Play Edition and it's moderately easy to root the phone, but it still messes with over the air updates, so I can't say that I actually recommend anyone else doing the same, unless you like to tinker.
Hey MPCookson, could you give me some info on how you modified the xml to get the 64GB cards to work on 4.4 roms...ive searched and searched for methods to get this to work and have been unsuccessful with everything ive tried...reformatted the card to exfat, tried every 4.4 rom out there and cant get it to pick up my card...any insight would be VERY helpful!

The unmounting only happens if your kernal doesn't support exfat sd cards. Only fat32. Stock kernal and kt kernals support exfat that I know of but others like ptmr's doesn't. So it's not an sd card issue.

Had a problem with a sandisk 32gb (1 year old). Was trying different formats fat32 / exfat with supported kernel. But then it started to get unexpectedly removed very frequently. Fortunately it seemed working good in other devices (pc, tablet). I backed up everything and started a RMA. They told my card was defective and accepted it as a damaged card (I tried to fix it formatting without success). I have read some bad reviews about sandisk cards but I think this issue was only affected by some batches. I really liked theirs RMA support and I bought a new one (64gb this time). Hope it lasts more than the other one.

I read this ad like 6 times and I can't seem to find the BS flag anywhere. I decided to just order it and see, if it's not legit I'll just send it back. If this is real, it's a steal!

For that price, I ordered 2 of them!
Hope they are good!
C'mon guys, these are shipping from China, from a low count seller.
DUH.
These are fake cards.
It's common practice.
Cancel your bids and stay AWAY from this auction.
You're going to receive something that LOOKS like a Sandisk but performs like SanCrap.

Ebay is full of fake SD cards. The card will probably show as being 64GB but it surely isn't.
Advice: don't use it at all. If stubborn: don't use it to store anything remotely important. You will lose data, again without any doubt.
I remember when the 32gb were big back in the day. I ordered one from China on Ebay and I thought it was a steal. I received the item, worked for 2 days and bam! No more 32gb! It instantly became 800kb some how...

Sadly, things are so easy now that honest sellers are getting scammed left and right...
I remember the days when Ebay used to have "caveat emptor" at the bottom of every page. My, how things have changed...
ordered a 64gb from china when i got my s4... at about usd12..
WHEN i rec it. iTS BLOODY 64 GB FOR REAL...
just that its not class 10 as advertised.
and i'm still using it...

It's no 64GB card. A card with genuinely that capacity can't be bought anywhere for that price. ALL those cards are fake. All of them, 100%.
But, if you're happy with it, great. No biggie.
Verify the authenticity of the card via Sandisk's Website
I bought mine at 2,300Philippine Pesos or 51.61US$ from a 3rd Party seller, and I've contacted a Rep via Online Chat from Sandisk itself, and after supplying them with the information regarding my Sandisk Ulta 64Gb, they confirmed it via the photos and the serial number of the card that I provided that it is indeed authentic. They even took the trouble or registering it and I now have a Lifetime Warranty for that Card!
Things to consider all the sandisk drives are made in china, also are these the ones that everyone was having issues with?? Quick way to pawn them off?? Honestly I would not touch these.. Despite the fact I could use a 64gb drive..
Anyone getting this error? SD Card removed unexpectedly?
I put the External SD Card I used in my Galaxy S3 for 2 years into new Xperia Z3 and within 10 minutes I was getting this error.
Removed card and formatted it. Put card back in and within a couple of minutes the same error?
Unsure what to do at this stage. I will try another card and see how that goes but I never had a single issue with that SD Card in the GS3 for 2 years.
It's a SanDisk SD Card. 32GB.

I've had similar issues on low end phones, but not high end ones. Could be a software bug in 4.4.4 since I have seen this happen on a few phones. Then again, could be SD Card corrupt issues and you may want to get it replaced.
Same here. Has happened 2x in a week.

No not RA. Just random numbers I picked a couple of years ago!!
Found a resolution to this.
Did two things, but don't know which one solved it.
Reformatted card to exFat and also stuck a small thin label to the back of the card to increase overall thickness of the card to make certain it stayed in place. 14 or so hours now without issue.
