Hi
I bought a Kingston 8GB SDHC Class 4 card today, I used a Class 2 before, anyway, I copied a lot of music (about 4GB) to the card from the computer but I don't even get close to 4MB/s only 1.38MB/s, have I done something wrong or is it a problem with the card?
thanks
If you're copying file to your phone over usb it will be capped at 2MB/s. It's the phone's fault, not your card. I bought a 16gb class 6 without knowing this and now I have to take my memory card out if I want to take advantage of the write speeds.

You may have been scammed. To know for sure, you should run the h2testw program against the new card. It's quite common for scammers to pass off 2GB cards as 8, 16, or even 32GBs. They can program the card to tell your PC that they are bigger than they actually are.
The h2testw script can test this by writing 8 1GB files (approximately) to your card.
Good luck!
I bought a micro sd of kingston class 4 16GB in the store, not happy with it at all.
In the beginning it had issues because i couldn't put any files on it. Eventually fixed that. A week ago i couldn't put any movies on it, let say files bigger than 100mb. Now i can't put any songs on it:S
Already did chkdsk, and formatted it like 20 times, still same problem

Go back to the store and maybe ask for a new one??they have lifetime warranty
is the card format are fat32?
Yes 1GB ext4 and remaining is FAT32
Then have u try to copy the file using the card reader?
Give the card back and buy another make. I bought one of these a few months back and it was causing me a lot of hassle. I had it replaced with another one and same problems again. In the end I just gave it back and went for a Samsung 8GB class 6- has been working fine so far.
Hello,
Just to let you know, I had a Sandisk 16Gb class 2 and I replaced it with a Lexar 16GB Mobile MicroSDHC Card Class 6 High-Speed and it's working not to bad, I'm really happy with it, much faster then the Sandisk.

Bought a Kingston 16GB SDHC Class 10 card for my Desire a while ago, and found out it is not a happy match. Simply too unreliable. Went back to the good ol' trusted Transcend 8GB SDHC Class 6 card.
Anyone got any experience with the Transcend 16GB SDHC Class 10 card on the Desire?
Hi,
I have a Kignston µSDHC 16Go class 10 and I'm very happy with it. What do you mean with "unreliable ?"
My device was becoming noticably slower with this card instead of faster, and I got read errors continuously in apps like media players, Astro File Explorer en Root Explorer. Possibly it was becoming slower because of the read errors.
A chkdisk on Windows 7 continuously gave errors and a chkdsk on EXT4 Recovery sometimes was even unable to fix errors on it.
Reformatting only helped for a short while, then the read errors would reoccur.
So I finally gave up on it and trashed it.
I read everywhere that the Desire is very picky when it comes to memory cards.
Well, it seems like your kingston card was dead, it shouldn't give any error on a chkdsk.
Did you know you can get it exchanged from Kingston under warranty ? It has a lifetime warranty. I had to do it for mine because the first one I had was defective from the beginning, I couldn't format it at all.
Trust me, I have this card and it works flawlessly since I got it exchanged !

I did exchange it already, the 1st one truly was crap, far worse than the 2nd one, the 2nd one was slightly better but still crap. So I decided to ditch Kingston altogether.
Lexar cards
I've had good luck with a lexar class 10 32gb cards. No one I know has any transcend cards though.
I can't use Transcend micro SDHC 16 GB class 4- I had to pull the battery almost always after using an app that accessed SD (camera, gallery, music player etc)
I've found that samsung has been a dream with good speeds and no issues (as of yet...). As for the Kingston i got a class 4 card and that worked fine for me.

Ooh nice! Thanks, will buy one now.
Transcend 32GB SDHC Class 10 card on my Desire for 2 weeks, feel fine.
Got the card. Works flawlesly. Also increased the SD card read cache to 2048kB, I get a write speed of 11+MB/sec, read speed of 25+MB/sec now. Nice
I recently bought a new 16GB Class 10 micro sdhc card and it seems to be giving me a lot of problems. It reads and writes data perfectly fine, but after a while the card fails giving damaged SD card, format for using it. Is it jus me or are class 10 cards not usable on the i9000

Class 10 cards are recomanded on any device.. what brand is your card ?
I use a Samsung 32GB micro SDHC class 10 card for about 6 months now and it works perfectly fine. Before I had a Sandisk class 6 card and it gave me "damaged card" a few times. So I think it doesn't have anything to do with the class per se. Maybe your card is really damaged and should be replaced
Maybe You're using some app for card.
Once time I've got app to make card cache bigger, but everytime I plug&unplug phone to PC my phone show broken card.
i have a 32gb class 10 too and it works fine...it's samsung

First thread, so putting that out in advance.
I download ALOT of music, and since I wanted to sync lots of music from spotify to my phone and bring a few movies for traveling, I bought a Samsung SDXC 64GB class 10 microSD card from amazon on bf.
I've formatted it to fat32 (with guiFormat on windows and android itself), and my atrix will reconize it. But once I start syncing music to it it unmounts it after a variable amount of time.
Has anyone else been able to get a 64GB microsd to work with their atrix?
Thanks!
i dont think it would , since specs says the phone can handle up to 32 gb micro sd card , and never readed someone report about a working 64 gb micro sd card
sent from the gray stuff inside my skull
On the bionic, they say it works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458992&highlight=64gb
Aren't the bionic and atrix 2 the same?
Also, I'm running magic mod jb. I read somewhere that 4.0+ has issues with sdxc, could that be an issue?
Try formatting with a different allocation size to see if it works.
Atrix2 doesn't support NTFS or ex-fat, which some other phones do.

Yeah class 10 cards are known to have issues with this phone. It really has nothing to do with it being 64GB or not, that is causing it to dissapear or unmount, but the fact that it is a class 10 card. We have had way too many issues with anything higher than a class 6 card in the atrix2. It is also noted that the atrix2 really technically does not support SDcards higher than 32GB, but I have a 64GB card that I use in several of my phones that seems to work ok from time to time, but I only use it to move a file from one of my other phones to the A2 once in a while, so long term I really don't have a lot of info on that.
Ok, that makes sense. Too bad they don't sell class 6 anymore. So I should try to find a class 6 32gb card then instead of 10?

anything that is class 4 or class 6 is know to work with out issues, no matter the size.
I have 2 class 4 32GB cards that I bought just for this phone that were like 30 USD 6 or 10 months ago, so I am sure you can find a few really cheap now. I know that the whole class 4 or class 6 and the speed thing really tend to turn people off, but I can copy 20GB of music to one card in just over 1 - 1.5 hours, so it is not too bad.

Thanks a lot Jim! Yeah the 32gb is like $20 on Amazon, so I'll spring for a couple of those. Your right, I guess you really don't need that speed anyway (I can wait to transfer my music).
