Hello guys, im thinking to get a new 64gb micro sd card for my s4 19505, currently using a 32gb samsung class 10 one with no issues at all.
So I"ve found 2 choices which im interested in. Can someone please suggest which one would be more better and compatible with the s4 as i have read that some cards give problems. Neverthess i found the following two on ebay:
Samsung Essentials 64gb Class 10:

Samsung Pro UHS-1 64gb Class 10:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151162891126
The price difference is not much. If anyone has owned either one, could you please give some feedback and advice. Thanks

I would go with the Pro in the second link. The first one looks entry level (might even be fake).
I have the pro, it's ok, not sure if it's a problem with my phone or pc, but if I try to copy too much onto it at once (usually when I copy a few albums at a time), it fails after a while (10 mins or so), meaning I have to copy things over bit at a time leaving a bit of time between the copying, almost like the card gets hot or copy cache gets overloaded (not sure if it does). It's a step up from the sandisc ultra 64GB ones I've had that just refuse to work (had two that just don't work any more). Could be due to me running Pac Rom (I've kept it updated to the most recent stable build). Just to mention, it has the same issues regardless of format (NTFS or FAT32). Never had any of these issues with 32GB cards. Still, the sammy one does at least work. Hope that helps.
Thanks for feedback, still not sure which one to get out the two, was feeling the pro one but as its mentioned that it has some errors im having 2nd thoughts now.
Currently have the 32gb Samsung essentials version which is flawless... maybe the 64gb of it could be just as good?? Anyone currently have one and could please shed some light? Thanks

Any reason you are looking at ebay? Personally there are too many fakes on ebay that I would not trust purchasing something like that there. You can easily find this on Amazon or Newegg.
@cbb77, I prob wont get it from ebay, its for demostration purposes only.

any 64gb will do, you won't get full speed on any phone apart from the note 3.
Didn't know how much a sd card mattered as far as the difference between them all. Glad i read this before I bought one for mine.

I bought a 64GB MicroSD card on ebay and it was fake. Between receiving it and returning it, took me 3 weeks, and I had to pay for return shipping. It turned out it was stamped as a 64GB card but only held 4GB. Save your time. I then went on amazon about 6 months ago and bought samsung branded 64GB micro SD card and have never had any problems with it to date. I definitely recommend the samsung micro sdxc UHS-1 Class 10. It's the one i'm using.

Copy all important data/pics/backups to a computer! Once SD memory goes, its gone for good mostly.
I'm way too paranoid about flash memory failure to spend more than 50ish on a microSD card.
Last time my 16GB SD card crapped out on me, and I lost lots of pictures and videos from a trip.
As far as 16GB class 10, it could be nice depending on the price....

Class is just the minimum the data transfer's are rated to run at, not the maximum that the actual card can run. So my Class 2 could run at Class 6 speeds, but not garaunteed to do so.

I honestly don't think a lot of these high class less quality SD cards are worth it. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the class is only minimum. It also doesn't take into consideration the longevity of the card. I bought the 32gb patriot (Class 10) from new egg and it totally when bad on me after 3 weeks. I lost some important info (backup up most). Was able to luckily return it just under the 4 week limit newegg has for returns. Not to mention the speed was really no different that I could notice compared to the stock SD card. I'm probably going to get the Sandisk soon since it's the only brand that I trust.
Im looking to get a new 32g sd card whats the best one to get. I've been using my 8g sd card for about 2 years now I never had problems just want a 32g.

I bought the 32gb that Verizon sells today for $99. It was regularly $149 but its on sell right now. Its still kind of pricey, but I really like it. Doesn't slow anything down, and now I can put more music and movies on my phone. You can get the same card on Ebay for around $65 right now. It's a SanDisk brand and Ive always had good luck with them.
I need a 32gb my 16 is full I keep having to delete old stuff and store it on my computer. I want to keep everything on my phone.

Class 6. Is Adata an okay brand? Ive personally never heard of em.

Yes a data is fine, I own MANY a-data microsd cards (4 4gb class 6, 4 8gb class 6 and 3 16gb class 6)
I am currently using a class 6 a-data card in my g2 and I've had it for a couple of years.
The other cards are in various devices and none have ever had any problems either. The other 16's are in Nintendo DS cards which work perfectly.
In january I bought a 32gb class 10 patriot card, with hopes to use it in my g2 but after 16gb of data is stored on it, it craps out and corrupts all data forcing a format. Turns out patriot is aware that those cards have issues on android and wp7 and are working on a solid fix (they have a workaround they are 90% sure works, but I haven't bothered to try it and I put the card in another NDS for now. Gave up on using my g2 for music).
I give A-data thumbs up, they are cheap and reliable.
adata is good yes, though I just grabbed a class 10 kingston 8gb for 19.99

Been using this one for over a month now, works great with no problems. Im sure it's not top of the line or anything, but like I said its been working great.
I just ordered one from newegg. Read the reviews from there along with the ones from tigerdirect. A lot of people gave bad reviews saying that the cards wouldn't format or wouldn't work in their phones.
So here's hoping the one I get doesn't have any problems...
I'll give an update once I play around with it and get all my data on to it. Should be getting it sometime today...

$53 is a darn good price. I got a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC on a best buy daily deal for $49 about a month ago. Doesn't look like they even carry it now on their site, but Amazon has it for $82.
I bought one of the eBay 16.99 ones. We'll see what and if I get something.

Better check the the actual size of that card. On SD cards it is possible to fake the card so it reports a larger size than the card actually is.
You might look at this URL http://flashchiptech.wordpress.com/...ownload-to-check-flash-drives-and-memory-car/
Also it is best to format SD cards with a dedicated formatter. I like SDformatter
Also a good test program is H2testw See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730285

Are you letting it do the default ('exFAT") format in Windows/7? You don't want that, although it works with the Samsung ROM, it won't work with Cyanomod unless you format it as "FAT32" instead. You can use the command-line switches or there's a "FAT32 Gui" program somewhere around here - I can't seem to put my fingers on the link right now, but I found it within the past few days. If you can, use the phone to format it instead of a PC, that always insures FAT32. ("exFAT" isn't supported by CYM because of the funky licensing Microsoft has for exFAT)
Aside from card size, doesnt card speed play a factor in whether these 64gb cards will work? Isnt the appropriate question "what is the best deal on a 64gb class 10 SD card that actually works"?

if anyone is interested in a new micro sd card, today amazon is having a very nice sale on the 32gb and 64gb versions. here are the links to them.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Micro...e=UTF8&qid=1370285406&sr=8-3&keywords=sandisk = $21.49
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Micro...8&qid=1370285467&sr=8-3&keywords=sandisk+64gb = $42.99
when buying the 64gb version, keep this which is posted on amazon in mind:
- Reformat into file system other than exFAT may cause instability
- Only compatible with SDXC enabled device in exFAT format per SD Standard
if this is in the wrong forum please move it.

have a 64gb in mine as i type with no issues.
I had to do an RMA with Sandisk because the 64GB microSDXC would not stay mounted in my S3 nor would it in my Note II. So I received a new one and guess what, it's doing the same thing in my S4. I've only gotten the unmount/remount three times in the past month, so that's a lot better than the last card. I'm going to give it some time before I order another. For what it's worth, I used a Samsung 32GB microSDXC in my last two phones and it never had any issues. Worked flawlessly.
I'm going to see if this is still going on today. I'd hate to think I missed it. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes. I got a sandisk 32gb ultra in the mail a few days ago. During install in twrp it was making all the Roms I tried finish prematurely. Needless to say the roms wouldn't boot. I took that out and stuck my other sandisk 32gb sdcard in there that's not ultra but just a microsdhc and it worked fine. I sent the ultra card back to amazon and got a refund.

At the moment I have a 32gb ultra SD card in my s4. The SD card is damaged for whatever reason. So I was wondering, what's the best type of SD card for me to get. I spent 20$ on my sdcard. So I'm willing to spend the same amount more or less.. Don't need anything more than 32gb or probably anything over 16. Of course the more the merrier.
Thanks in advance.

I got sandisk 16gb from amazon. Paid a good $22 for it. Around the same time, bought samsung 16gb micro sd while it was on sale for my tablet.
Three months into use, sandisk just stopped working. All the photos I took over the period of three months lost with it. Mind you, I'm not tech- illiterate, so I attempted different methods to recover my data with no luck.
Contacted sandisk, and received a new micro sd through warranty. A months into use, it failed again. Luckily, I had backed up my photos with dropbox, so no real losses except wasted time.
Didn't even bother to file warranty and tossed the sd out.
Been using samsung microsd for good six months with no problem.
This is my experience, and you may have (had) better luck than I.

If you search the forums, you will find that MANY people report (and I experienced it too) that any card other than a Samsung can be problematic. I have a 32GB Class10 card from A-Data or Kingston or some other major name and it worked fine in my Atrix for a year or so. Got my S4 and put the card in it. Regularly and routinely, the phone would "lose" the card or claim it needed formatting because it was "damaged."
My Samsung card has had zero issues. You should be able to get a 32GB Sammy for about $20.

If you search the forums, you will find that MANY people report (and I experienced it too) that any card other than a Samsung can be problematic.

Where can I find one? Amazon? I was told the same thing as you stated in the first sentence. Just might go with a Samsung card. I was going to get a Kingston, but it makes more sense to go with the same name brand my phone is Lol. Since I've had multiple issues with San disk.

Just got a 64gb Class 10/UHS1 Samsung micro Sd at BestBuy....$59. No issues after 4 days. Sandisk cards errored several times a day. FWIW.
I must be the only one to never have a problem with any SanDisk cards ever in my life. Have a 64GB ultra in my S4 now. Running just fine for months.

Yup I shop at Amazon first.
I've used a Sandisk 16gb SDHC UHS-1 and a Sandisk 64gb SDXC UHS-1. Both are reliable and have survived multiple drops.
You are not the only one !

Out of 2100 reviews (posted up to Feb 2013) on Amazon, the SanDisk Ultra has a 4.5 star average (1500 of the reviews give it a full five stars). It’s the most popular and best-rated on Amazon.
A few complain doesn't make it everybody.
I am on SanDisk fast Micro SD cards in the last 10 years without one issue.

Here on XDA there are significantly less problems with Samsung SD's compared to Sandisk. Especially using the larger (64GB for example) sizes.
When using an SGS4 and in need of a large card simply use the Samsung one. And format it Fat32 when not in need of files >=4GB. Best combo of compatibility.
IMHO, of course

I looked at amazon, they have ultra extreme pro, and what not. What is best? I'm probably going to buy a 32gb.. Any suggestions?

I've had my 32gb UHS 1 Sandisk SD for a long time, well over 6 months and I have never had a problem. I had a 16gb Samsung SD card before that with no problems I just needed more storage.

I am using the same SanDisk Ultra 64Gb same as you, though the first one that I bought gave me a lot of problems (Constantly ejecting, then eventually, the phone no longer recognizes it.) Then I bought another 64Gb and I never had any problems from there.
It seems that those having issues with Sandisk probably got theirs from a faulty batch that Sandisk even admitted.
