lol that sucks
but anyways, 32gb, whatever class it is, for $29 isnt bad

class 4 is good enough for a mobile phone. If you just use it to store mp's/photo's.
Higher then class 4 is only interesting when filming/photographing on a high resolution and thus need a high read/write speed.
Anyway, $29 for 32 gig is a very nice price!!
Still... don't know why this in the dev. forum

I bought a SD card and a thumb drive. Both turned out to be fakes from China. The 32 GB thumb drive only held 14 GB of data and was flaky at that. The SD card was slow and was also unbranded. I would be very careful about what data you save to it. It might just go south on you.
Keep an eye on sales ads. I just got a 8GB class 10 micro SD at bestbuy for $19.99
**This is in the dev thread because it was a mistake on the OP part. He asked for it to be moved, but the MODs have not done so. I suggest sending them a PM bro. Might get a better response.

There are free programs, like h2testw, you can download to test the sd cards and usb drives. I purchased one a while ago that was supposedly a 32gb, and windows detected it as a 32gb. I tested it and it was really 1GB.

BE REALLY CAREFUL INDEED,
I bought exactly the same 2 weeks ago on Ebay, same packaging exactly, about same price.
It was a fake that was only 2Go, with a ridiculous transfer rate of 2.2Mo/sec with downs to 150ko/sec
So I bought another one 32Mo, branded, class4, more expensive of course! (I also think we don't really more than class 4 unless your're really impatient when transferring big files from your PC to your SD card. Class 4 is already enough for the Sensation HD recording, and having class 10 wouldn't speed up any app except for some benchmarks that take SD card write/read into account)

Check microcenter. I picked up a 16 gig class 10 today for $28+tax... Well worth the price.

I took a chance on one of these. The seller has 100% positive feedback and has sold a ton of them. So hopefully it works out. He also will fully refund my money if it doesn't work. So reward outweighs the risk.

Memorette

Has anyone every tried the Memorette 32gb microsd is it any good?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

DO NOT BUY I bought one of these even after reading multiple reviews saying not to. Its a complete fake. When I got mine the speed test were showing that it was slower than my class 4 even though it said class 10. When I got it it said it was 23 GB than I formatted it and it then said 34 GB if I put anything more than 7 GB on it fails and I have to reformat it. I still use it but only to copy data from my tablet and computer

Well thanks

I think MicroCenter sells them for cheaper than that on a daily basis, but I could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure Sandisks UHS I cards are their class 10 IIRC. And I couldn't get past the first page of the search, something strange with their site was going on.
I'd be wary of buying memory cards from obscure vendors anyways. Someone like Amazon would more than likely replace/refund your card if it turned out to be counterfeit, I doubt it would be anyways from them. And there is a ton of counterfeiting cards these days, the $16 64gb cards people from China are trying to unload on eBay were just that, the ones that actually got shipped.

Bought a 16gb sandisk usb stick for my xbox and thought $11 w free shipping was pretty cheap. I'm guessing that was on sale too.

This came out to little to late!

I snagged a 64g this morning....

here is a test of the new 64gb card I purchased and received today.

Has anybody managed to format the 64 successfully without it turning into a 27 gb card. I returned mine to amazon for a new one and worry about formatting it again. My computer doesn't recognize this card and wants to format it.
Shh! maybe I'm just paranoid, but I think people are listening....

Yes, you need to use this tool SDformatter can be found here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/eula_windows/

I also just returned my 64 gb card to amazon after turning it into a 27 gb card!
I thought it was defective. The only way to get it back to full capacity was to format it on the stock rom. But the computer never liked it. And it would always recognize it as 27.

Will it show up as 64GB on a stock Rom with root?

I ordered 64gb. Class10 must be faster

I got my 64GB for free when Best Buy exchanged mine and screwed up and refunded my money. I told them and they said they couldn't fix it. I didn't complain.

Custom rom gives more space?

I recently bought a galaxy tab 2 7" 8GB, but I can only use 4 of it. Would installing a custom rom give me more space? Its a shame that they really only give you 4gb

No, you will need to jump through a couple hoops and leverage your sdcard slot, by using a swap script, or an app like foldermount, gl2sd, or similar. Personally, i used the swap script when i was using 4.1.x, but now i use foldermount. The p3113 swap script is on these forums, and foldermount is in the play store, or the thread for it, which are in the android apps and games forum, or software development, i forget which.
Oh yeah, every option requires root access.

Just a quick question since it's brought up. What class sd card is suggested for doing this method? I've read that class 4 is better than class 10 for doing this, but that was on my Xperia Play. Just wanted to make sure before I invest in one.
Thanks.

I don't know if it is true,but I had a class 4 SD card on my xperia mini,and i when I bought a class 10 16 GB,the phone was about 30% faster with swap then class 4 with swap.
So I believed in classes ;D

Class 4 = 4mbps
Class 10 = 10mbps
You tell me.

I have a 32 GB U1 which U1=Class 10 fyi.
My tab has 16GB storage but only about 12GB useable so it would make sense a 8GB only has about 4 useable.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using XDA Premium HD app

Class 4 will never be as good as a class 10. I am running a Samsung Class 10 UHS-1 70MB/s read and 20MB/s write card and that is about as good as it gets. Anything higher is not supported by our device (read and write speed-wise you would be over-compensating way too much).

I read somewhere that when using the sd card for apps and the such.
Ah, here it is:
This higher class # = higher speed across the board is a bit of a misnomer. Lower class (4&6) seem to have higher random access speeds, so when pulling up files lower than 6MB, it may behoove you to have a lower class card. Seems handy when pulling up photo and MP3. If you're transferring large files you may see speed increases for things like full movies or apps. Is it worth 10 seconds every now and then? I'll let you decide.

Yes, it definitely gives u a lot more space because stock roms are filled with bloatware (pre-installed apps), which according to me are useless. If you flash a custom rom it is not filled with all that crap and will give u a lot more of storage like if you have an 8gb tab 2 u will get only about 3-4 gigs of free space on stock but if you switch to custom rom you will have around 6-7 gigs of free space.

No one has tried repartitioning space from system to data? System takes up over 1.4 gigs, so with most ROMs your wasting a gig of space.

Custom ROM without SD card

I want to flash a custom ROM but I don't have an SD card. Is there anyway to do that?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Yes you can. Download the Rom to your computer and push it the adb but that may not work so spend $7 on a card and live a little.

Thanks. For this particular device do I need to worry about the difference between a Class 2 and a Class 10?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

The class is the speed it moves data. Class 2 is 2mbs a sec and class 10 is 10 mbs. So spend what you need and that is all you need to do. I use pricewatch.com for that or amazon.com but a 4 gig card should be super cheap.
