will a 16 gb class 2 card work well with our phones and custom roms im currentkey using an 8gb class 6?
a class 2 should be theoreticaly slower than a class 6 that's about it. N1 should work with SDHC cards to 32GB.
Picking a card is a tricky bussiness, speeds are so different. I got a 8GB class 4 one and it works above 5 MB/s transfer rate so I'm happy.. the original class 2 card that comes with the phone had up to 3 MB/s.
If you got a chance to test the cards out or find some tests on the internet about the speed, you should definitely read up on it.
I got a Transcend card.
Im planning on buying a 16 gb microsd card but all i can find is cards class 2 is that enough for recording 720p and loading applications installed to the SD card ? keep in mind that i also plan un buying a optimus 2x which has 1080p recording
Which brand do you like better? sandisk? kigston? trascend?
I read that sandisk class 4 cards are REALLY good but they dont show up in their website or amazon :/ , it seems they only sell class 2 cards, and kingston offers cards class 10 and 4 , class 10 seems a little excessive
Class 4 but really class 6 is what u need class 2 will die

yeah minimum a class 4
class 2 is just a pain, it will make you want to throw the phone away, and explode it into a million tiny bits
class 6 is the normal speed for a fluid experience
Im using a Sandisk 32GB class 2 card, it writes at 5~7Mb/s depending if its a large file or several smaller ones and read as higher than 15Mb/s

class 2 will die? u mean its on its way out?
Ive been reading good comments about the sandisk cards, but they only sell class 2 cards :/ , what brands are u guys using?
If you are getting a 16gb card, or less sandisk, kingston or toshiba, class 2 or class 4 offers similar read/write speed, although the toshiba and kingston is a little faster, the sandisk is much stable.
Read is about 11-14mb
write is about 8mb
I had a toshiba 16gb class 2 in my i9000, it plays 720p videos without any problems, now i am using a lexar 32gb class 10, results aren't any different.
Hope this helps.
lexar 32gb class 10? jezus christ you must have payen an arm and a leg for that ****.

Approximate usd 85.
The class designation of SD Cards ONLY represents the sustained WRITE speed to the card in MB/s. So, class 2 means it can be written to at 2MB/s, while class 10 means it can be written to at 10MB/s.
The designation has no reference whatsoever to the read speed of the card. So, basically every response stating otherwise in this thread is wrong. You should be able to get suitable sustained read speeds out of any class 2 or higher SD Card for the purposes you will be using it for. It will just take you longer to transfer the data to it in the first place. As for video recording from your phone, class should should be plenty as I'm pretty sure 720P comes in under 2MB/s.
Wow, yea. Just that i seen some online shops which class 2 32gb cost 100$
But on amazon the lexar class10 32gb is really cheap...
http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSD...610M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296152464&sr=8-1
Anyway, i got a 16gb class2 card (a-data) and i can play 720p and record just fine...
Electroz is right. Its only about transferring and stuff.

The speed of the card used in the phone does not make much of a difference, its onlt when you transfer data to and from Pc, but its always best to get the fastest available, if the budget is the main problem, consider getting a kingston or toshiba, but make sure you get one that is made in japan, as the taiwan version is a litttle slower, japan version are becoming harder to get now, since the japan factor has transferred their production to the taiwan site.
The classes stated on each card is only the minimum it will reach.
Class 2 at least 2 mb read/write
class 4 at least 4 mb read/write. etc.
So it can be anything above the actual figures.
For more info on microsd, see my link in the sig, although its a little out dated.

The actual retail price for the lexar 32gb class 10 is 149 usd.
No problems with 32GB Class 2 here, it can record and decode 720p just fine, and there is nothing else as intensive as those tasks that you'll be doing with this handset (may not be enough to support 1080p in future handsets, but that remains to be seen).
Don't buy into this rubbish about needing Class 4 or 6 cards, unless you regularly load very large numbers of small files to your card, in which case you may want the higher write speeds.
when you run apps and/or games off the SD (App2SD) the slower the card the more time it takes to have a fluid experience, specially heavy stuff from gamesoft, or simply opening the application manager and waiting for the icons to load
repeat the same tasks with a slower card vs a faster card and you'll see the difference
of course you'll not really see much of a difference, unless you card is more than 50% full, and have over 300+ apps installed
You can buy a Kingmax 16GB Class 6 at Amazon for £43. I didn't had any problem to find it. Class 6 is much better. See you - Frank

amazon is always over priced, i rather buy them locally at the computer stores
Adata microSDHC 16GB, class 6 $35
Wintec microSDHC 16GB, Class 10 $36.49
Patriot microSDHC 16GB, class 4 $40
Kingston microSDHC 16GB, class 10 $102
i can also get authentic
Kingston 32GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Card W/ Full Size SDHC Secure Digital Adapter $116.15
so at £43 pounds i easily get 2x Adata 16 GB class 6
which i already have many (each of my 5 phones has one, plus another one on the video camera CountourHD 1080p), and they work really good
LOL i always run out of battery before i run out of space in my video camera

If your getting cards from a non generic name brand, the read speeds should be around 15-25Mb/s , My class 6 card actually had a slower read speed of 15Mb/s compared to my Class2 ( 28Mb/s )
At the end of the day the difference between loading something was barely noticeable even skipping to different portions of a 3.7GB movie, Im guessing the phone it self is the bottleneck and not the card.
1% or 99% full should have ZERO effect on the read/write speed this is not some mechanical drive nor having 1 or all the apps in the market.
EDIT:
Again the class rating is only a rate on what is the minimum write speed the card can handle, sandisk rates their 32GB at class 2 when it writes at 6-7Mb/s ( making it class 6 ) on the phone and about 10Mb/s using a card reader ( making it class 10 )

yeh, buying from a local store is cheaper, from the same price of a kingston 16gb class 10, you can get a 32gb class 4, but the fastest microsd on the market is the kingston 32gb class 10, but stock is very limited due to high prices, and you probable need to place an order and pay in advanced, i'm still searching for one, since the last time i heard about it about 9 months ago.
adata are the cheapest cards now, but the speed are rather slow, compared when they only released the 8gb about a year ago.
Guys
Which brand is perfect with no errors for the p500,
Is transcend Ok, without any reported problems???
cuz with transcend i have 2 options:
1) 8GB class 10
flipkart.com/mobiles/memory-cards/itmczcrqjfnkzhmr?pid=acccz4ffp9czdseh[/url]
2) 16GB class 4
flipkart.com/mobiles/memory-cards/itmczcrqpdjzzqy7?pid=acccz4ffdsujg99j
which shall i go for ?
That's actually a nice price for the class 10, but 8 is too little if you listen a bit of music. I just moved to a 16 Class 4, I'd say get a Class 6 is you can find one.
I have that Transcend 8GB and no error in past three months. It takes some time to load apps after boot (I have lots of apps on SD natively without a2sd scripts), but as it's about 5 to 10 seconds it's okay.

I went ahead an ordered the 8GB.. sadly the 16GB class 10 is out of stock here
i use 8gb class 6, transcend
My advice for memory is never buy off Ebay, I got mostly defective memory chips ( found out from testing with h2testw ) before I stopped wasting my time and got a 32GB class 10 Lexar. It's a great card and I've had good results from the Lexar brand. (Sandisk is also an excellent choice)

Trascend 16 gb class 10 micro sd
i bought it for 1490 and its excelent...
I picked up two kingston 8gb class 10 cards off of kingstons website for $18.99 each (on sale) with free shipping about two weeks ago. They have been just fine.
Works just fine with an Apacer class 4 8gb. It was cheaper than Transcend or Kingston.

Same, just using a class 4 Sandisk 8gb card that came with my phone when I bought it off the store. No problem with it (don't find it slow) but my music collection IS starting to fill up the space pretty quick (I blame FLAC) so I'm thinking of a new card.
What does everyone here think? Does an increased in class level make the phone any quicker?
For memory cards and flash drives I never buy anything other than PNY.
adata for me.

class 10 all the way, but couldn't afford anything over 4gb

Who wants one of this???
I've used a Transcend 4GB/Class6 and a Kingston 8GB/Class10 on my Optimus One.
Here are some minor problems i encountered with the Kingston Class10
1. Erratic behavior whenever I create an EXT partition (for Ungaze Data2SD or DT-App2SD purposes)
2. Using Antutu to benchmark the speed, it seems Optimus One tops at speed of 8MBps or Class8. Please confirm if you have a Class10 SD...
i was going to make a topic about this, but this seems like the appropriate thead to post...
i bought a microsd 4 gig class 4 from the source (nexxtech brand) and was screwing up my phone left right and center. i was originally using a 1 gig sd (not sdhc) and works better.
what the hell....

I'm using Transcend 8 Gb Class 10 card. SD Card write speed is 10 MB/s & read speed is 17 MB/s as per Antutu.
I read somewhere that LG P-500 is not compatible with class 4 & 6 cards for more than 4GB you need class 10 only. It seems to be very weird.

Hi,
currently I'm having an 8 GB microSDHC Class 4 in my Sensation, would there be any noticable performance improvement if I'd get myself a new class 10 (or anything else better than 4) card? I don't really know if my 4 MB/s writing speed and ~20 MB/s reading speed (some sd-tools said) are slowing down my system or not? Where exactly would the "positive" effects be?
Thanks for your help.
If you are rooted, get a higher capacity card like 32GB class 4 or 6 and install sd booster from the market. If you want to get class 10 32GB card, then try PNY 32GB class 10 from newegg. Some people say that PNY is not good but if you look at the reviews it is pretty good. Using sd tools from the market, it has about the same write/read speed as lexar class 10 but cost much less.

max class sd card
what's the max class my dhd can handle? i've read that when you use a class 10 sd card in a phone that can only handle class 6, your speed will be brought back to class2, because the phone can't handle it??
Is that true? i don't know whether it's worth spending a couple more euro's for a class 10 16gb, instead of class 6 16gb. I don't mind spending some extra euro's (especially when it improves) but i do mind when it slows down the phone...
cheers
i think the DHD is compatible with a class 10 sd but im not certain. i have a class 6 16gb sandisk sd and it is really quick.

DHD supports class 10 cards. I personally have a 16gig class 10.
From what I have seen there's only a marginal difference between 6 and 10.
If you already have a class 6 there's no need to go for a 10.
Otherwise go for the class 10. You'll be amazed at the speed.
i wouldn't recommend buying a class 2, they may be cheap but the performance sucks

Me too - I also have 16gb class 10.
I'd say a class 6 is maximum you need though for a bit better results via HD video recording etc....I just got a class 10 just because it was going cheap on play.com and has awesome reviews.

I also have a class 10 32gb limitation card in mine, it tops out around 12mb p/s when writing to and can read around 25mbps, i get much better speeds though when using a card reader, but those speeds are fine for my use...
i confirm, this is class 2 because he have a 2 in a circle

That card is class2. I'll recomend you class 10. Very good for HD recording, and quick accessing files from SD Card.
Buy a 32G Class 10. It's not expensive now. It is the half the price compared to 1 year ago.
