16 GB joyflash class 10 speed test

Hi Guys,
just got a new "16 gb class 10 joyflash micro sd' off of ebay for £18
I used h2test 1.4 with a micro sd adapter to test the speed with the test reading and writing 1GB of data
The test yielded results of 15.5 MB/s write and 16.8 MB/s read.
Are these the sort of results that I should be expecting and should they be good enough for me to use a data2ext etc rom?
Thanks

those speeds look good compared to what ive seen quoted for class 6. i think i'll buy the same as you, good value if its not fake!

I've done a complete test with h2testw and the card is indeed the full 16 GB (minus the space taken up by the fat)
I've also done this test with another card of the same type, from the same seller on ebay, that I bought for a friend and it achieved 15 MB/s write and 18.2 MB/s read. Might have to do a cheeky swap :L

any chance you can post up the item number please?
is it 110661046754 ?

yeh that's the item number of the one i got
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/16GB-16-GB-Mi...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item19c3e991e2

just ordered one hope it improves 720p video recording im sick of it jumping evey few seconds on standard class 4 card

if i had known earlier,i bought a class 6 8gig kingston which i'm not satisfied at all guess i'll order one of these next time,thanks for sharing

Ive just done the same. I use A2SD at the mo because i have a standard 8 gb class 4 i think...... crap!! Video recording lags like you said and also transferring albums takes its time too so cant wait to start using D2W
Thanks for your sharing dude!!

No problem guys
Thing is I was reading everywhere, "get this one", "or those ones are rubbish",
Was a bit confused, so kind of just took the leap and was pretty pleased with the speed test results, and the card didn't have a fake size or anything and the price was pretty cheap. Can't argue with that tbh
Im running cyanogenmod 7 rc3 atm, so it's not essentiall I have a fast sd card as the resived hboot partition table gives you loads of space.
Can't wait for a fully working gingerbread rom with sense.
Should be interesting to see what version of sense that htc give the desire gingerbread rom when it's released. Whether it'll be new, or the same one that shipped with froyo? I hope it new. But if it's not there will probably be a good desire hd port etc up in no time (then i'll need an ext partition :L)

This was the best thing I've ever bought... check my quadrant out on miui d2w. With 1 gb ext 4...

I'm not sure how much it would cost to send from here (england) to wherever you guys are in europe. But I don't mind buying one for someone else and sending it.
Haha yeh it is a good buy - and quick delivery
What results are you guys getting speed related? - I'm guessing the most accurate way to do it would be to test it on your computer through an adapter with the program i mentioned in the first post. But i could be wrong

it shouldn't be more then 2-3Ł.....normail cheapest option.

:O MATE i am getting one, nice find by the way! Class 4 is just not the one when it comes to D2SD or anything other than A2SD+....have you tried this with a ROM using d2EXT? or D2SD? what are your experiences if so?

Hi,
I bought the same card from same seller 16gb class 10 sd card. I am running lee droid 2.3 rom with 1gb ext 3. I did my test on my phone using sd card speed test couple of times it is showing my card write speed as 5 MB/s and reading as 14MB/s. Am i missing something here?

Tehe.

Yeh, i think basically the speed of your sd card in your phone when using ext partitions can depend on the kernel/how good the d2ext scripts are. I think a good thing to do to test the improvement of the sd card, is to do a quadrant test, and compare the benchmark to when you used last sd card.
Also test it in your computer to get a more accurate read/write speed. (and not through usb from phone because for some reason for me, that's very slow)
Dunno if any of you guys saw this
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/increase-the-reading-speed-of-your-sd-card/
pretty interesting. I haven't got around to doing it

[Q] Which one should I get?

Hello guys!
I wonder if you can help me out. I live in Brazil and I want a tablet. Nexus 7 was my main choice but it doesn't supports HDMI (nor MHL) and I'll use it a lot to watch movies on my TV and stuff like that. So I came across XOOM. Seems a pretty solid tablet but I was looking around the forum and I have the following question:
Should I get Motorola XOOM Wifi (I believe it's model is Mz604) or a Morotola XOOM 2 (the one with 8.2" screen)? It seems that support for original XOOM is better or am I wrong? please help me with this one.
Thanks a lot!

I think you can go for xoom 2.

Yeah but what about JB support? I dont really want to be stuck on HoneyComb... The specs are almost the same, so I'm on a impass

anyone else???

imo go for xoom (mz604) much more support and jb available and bigger screen better if out and about etc

just got XOOM (first model, wifi only).. should arrive by tuesday

good choice!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

No one should ever buy a Xoom 2.

Well, I guess it depends on what you want from your tablet.
The XOOM2 is a fine tablet if you do not have any plans on leaving ICS/Honeycomb. I don't think any XOOM2 is going to see Jellybean any time soon. However, if size is more important than performance to you, the XOOM2 might be worth it for you.
However, if size doesn't matter to you, the original XOOM WiFI (MZ604) is an excellent tablet. Even if you don't modify the tablet, the tablet is solid, fast (because there is almost NO BLOATWARE), and it has even gotten the latest Android 4.1 Jellybean (if you GEDify it if it is not a U.S XOOM). All around, I feel that the original XOOM WiFi is a great tablet, However, the price of the tablet even today can be a bit steep.
While the final decision is yours, between the XOOM and XOOM2, I would get a XOOM.

I understand. I got the XOOM because I like the 10" screen and I DO want to customize it (new kernel, new rom, etc) as I do with my Nexus S device. How can I get more infos on this GEDify process? Is it hard to do?
Thanks!

hmmm i found this http://www.simonjstuart.com/2011/07/23/gedify-your-non-us-wifi-xoom-for-n00bs/
it seems that GEDify is to install a US ROM on the tablet.. is that it?

Honestly, I traded my nexus 7 8gb for a Xoom 32gb MZ604, the quad core tegra 3 was nice and all but I use the rear camera, 32gb of memory, and expandable storage more then I do the tegra 3's performance.

Yeah.. The Nexus 7 was my first choice but the lack of HDMI kept me away from it I'm glad XOOM is almost like a Nexus device because after I got my Nexus S, I can say that I will never get an android device that isnt a GED hehe

The Nexus 7 is, by all means, a great device. But the lack of expandable storage for a device that is primarily used for media consumption is hard to get over. On my xoom, I am using about 5GB of space simply for "additional content" for games like Dead Space, GTA3, Max Payne and a few others. And thats also not taking into account the need to store video files; sure using streaming sources is convenient but what about when you have no wifi (public transit is a good example).
Lack of hdmi out is a bit annoying too, though an adapter can fix that. I'm really hoping they start a 10" Nexus series so I can have something to look forward to down the road as an upgrade to my Xoom. A 32GB internal storage option would also be nice.

I dont think there is any adapter to get HDMI to work on Nexus 7
My Xoom arrived today will get it after work.. Should I GEDify it ASAP or try the luck and see if JB is available for me without GEDifying?

If its not a wifi Xoom in the US, then its not a GED and its not going to have Jellybean yet (or any time soon, by my guess).

got the XOOM (MZ604). updated to 4.0.4 and stopped there, then I have flashed an US 3.0 firmware and now im on stock JB

By the way, the nexus 7 at stock gets around 3500 on quadrant bench, my MZ604 xoom wifi only with TeamEOS 137 build gets 3000 stock, and around 4100 overclocked to 1.5ghz

MicroSDXC 64 / 128 GB for any Phone /Tablet with a slot

Now that MicroSDXC cards of 64 GB are getting cheaper every day - you can get at Amazon a Transcend card for about 40 Euros - I tried such a card on a very cheap Allwinner A 10 tablet (Dslide 971) running stock rom 4.0.4. Not easy to go lower. I formatted the card with the utility FAT32FORMAT (google it), which allows to format partitions larger than 32 GB to be formatted in FAT32.
Works like a charm ! (Only unconvenience: FAT32 allows no files larger than 4 GB).
Worked as well on a cheap china phone (MTK 6589, Custom rom based on 4.2.1).
I did not test it, but there is no reason why this should not work with a 128 GB card (are still a little expensive today).
PS: the utility FAT32FORMATTER did not work.
PPS: another reason to buy only phones with a card slot. F....you, Apple and Google

Im using 64gb sandisk in my xplay, however as sony said it wont support cards bigger than 32gb. I think that they knew that their devices will work with bigger but werent sure (or something) about it. So if it wont work they dont need to help.
And 40€ is more expensive than ie samsung 64gb uhs1, which in poland cost ~80zl (~20€)
PS. To format sdcards im uing sdformatter or hp usb format tool on windows, or gparted pn linux

You are sure that the 80 zloty 64 GB card is not a fake ? You should buy them all and sell them on ebay for 30 Euros ......

It doesnt look like fake (however now they can fake everything).
They are sold as Samsung by real companies (or maybe small shops) and in poland u are not allowed to sell fakes and i dont think so many people willtry their best with law, where every unhappy client can finished it - they would try with noname cards.
I know one person which have this sdcard and till now he doesnt have problems with it (will se what future brings). Hes card is real 64gb (nothing disapear)
PS. Its even 60zl (15€)
PS2. Good idea with buying/selling, but one i dont have money now and i dont like debts, second polish law will probably make it not pay off (im not sure coz im not into laws)

15 Euros looks like too good to be true. Do they have 128´s as well ? If yes, do they accept orders from other countries ?

There is no english version od Allegro (some kind of polish ebay, but we have ebay too), but it probably wont be too hard for you, so look here:
http://allegro.pl/listing/listing.p...+64gb&search_scope=&bmatch=seng-v6-p-2-e-0409
Maybe u find something "fake" in them, but for me they look enough original (but I dont say they are)

This one ships outside poland (but doesnt say where)
If u look othe auctions u need to go to the same bookmark (1) - "Dostawa i płatność" (mean shipping and payment) and than look if there is (2) "Zgadzam się na wysyłkę za granicę" (mean that he/she is sending abroad). If there is similar "Nie zgadzam się na wysyłkę za granicę" it means that he/she doesnt ("nie" is "no" in polish)
Ps. If i will have more money I think about buying one for my ZU.
EDIT: I read some more around and even found xda thread about this cards: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422365
It looks It was to good to be true and they are probably fake - real SAMSUNG are SDXC and with white/grey 64gb not SDHC whit blue

Update
Well, my Lenovo A820 has now a primary SD-Card of 119 GB.

[SPECS] All about Acer Iconia Tab 8 A1-840

I got this new tablet, it´s the HD version of the Acer Iconia Tab 8 A1-840. I did some research but I didn't find anything about it, except for this guide of how to root it http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-acer-iconia-tab-8-a1-840fhd-t2933317
The tablet is an alternative to the Dell Venue 8 or the Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176C, and it has a great price. Also, it's shape is equal to the A1-840FHD.

kitkat 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 ?
Are you sure your android version is 4.4.4 ? What time you get an update ?

Yes it's 4.4.4 and Acer has not given any date, but they said Lollipop will be released for some devices.

This was at Costco for $150.00 but with RAM 2 GB and a WUXGA 1920x1200 screen.They give the battery a Wh rating: 17. It seems to be a credible replacement for a dead Nexus 7 I have. With the better screen and the micro SD card slot. I wanted to write reviews last week but couldn't find anywhere to do it because this version is not out there yet.

I also saw this at Costco but a bar code scan did not 0887899841224 return any information about it.
My question is about the 32 GB micro SD card slot.
Is that strictly hardware limitations or can it be increased with a custom rom flash?
It would NOT read my 64 gb micro SD card when I took it from my phone and tried it on the display unit.

I'm sorry I can't really help you with that. I took them at their word and picked up a 32GB card. It would be great to be able to step up to 64GB though. Also I am not able to move data from a jump drive straight to the tablet. It needs to be unlocked for that to occur.
All in all for the price, its a nice deal.

Thank you for responding so quickly. Is there an actual product number from the literature that it came with?
The reviews that I looked at are over a year old and I do not believe it's the same item as they said the screen was only ok. I looked at the screen and wow that's vivid and nice.
Is the bootloader locked?
You think we will be able to root it? Custom rom it?
My Asus tf101 transformer tablet was built in 30 March 2011.
It currently has an outstanding development person that has a KITKAT 4.4.4 that's outstanding fast.
Faster than what it shipped with, AND he's working on the 2nd or 3rd version of lollipop.
On the fence here, thinking Asus or this tablet.

There aren't any reviews of this model out there only for the 1 GB RAM and a lesser screen. Here are a couple of pictures from the box. The safety instructions and such are pretty generic. (Sorry they are upside down.I am left handed and when I grab my phone camera I always take pictures upside down.)

I use Titanium Backup already connected with a backup set that hooked up to XDA.
I noticed the root thread at the beginning of the very first post.
but that looks like it involves hooking it up to my pc, so that will have to be tomorrow, or the weekend.

The 64gb card worked without root but yes, I have mine rooted now. Used the IntelAndroid-FBRL-01-17-2015 package linked from the first post but then followed some link. Sorry, don't have the link handy right now

It may have been the demo model that had it sd card reader disabled.
I got root. Had to use a different laptop.
I am impressed with the standby abilities of the tablet.
My first thought was let titanium backup this baby and freeze non essential item that are running.
A moment latter thinking, well actually it's doing a great job of not loading the acer software or the other preloaded applications.
Anyone working on lollipop rom?

Hello, you may us a 64 GB SD Card that is new on the Acer Iconia a A1-840 FHD Tablet and not one from a Cell Phone as you may know even from some Cell Phone to a Different Brand may not work either, but using a New you can. Also is you get a Powered Micro USB Adapter you may us a USB Hard Drive up to 1 TB or any SSD HD on the Tablet also! I had my Acer Tablet and us without any Trouble what so ever - Alfredo

How much expandable storage is there?

I have a Samsung EVO 256 GB Micro SD. Will it work? Different sources tell me different things, the huawei website says only up to 128 gb, but maybe someone has found that 256 gb works for a certain rom?
Also, not sure if it matters, but I am in the USA and would be purchasing from Bestbuy.

only 128gb

256gb won't work in that phone, it supports only 128gb

It should
Gsmareana says otherwise and so do some reviews. The honor 8 should support it considering it uses the same filing system.

I've seen reports of people using 256GB working, but was told going 256GB could hurt the card's longevity.

Is this from mine, but I have a US model.. Don't know if it makes a difference.

I dont't think if there is any difference in this case.

So 256 GB is working without any workaround ?

Why would someone want a 256gb card?
Movies - screen too small
Uncompressed music - dac not good enough
RAW shooting - 128gb is more than enough
4K shooting - not available
Also 256gb card isn't affected in its longevity.

I got it for free from Samsung. 32 gb isn't enough for me, and it'd be nice if I don't have to go out and buy another one.
Anyone have any thoughts on why Huawei lists it as 128gb limit for expandable storage?

If I had had any 256Gb card around me I would try it for you but unfortunatelly I hadn't. I see there are different oppinions about this case but nothing certain.
If this is the only thing keeping back you from this phone than I can't help but since it is not such a big deal to buy a 64-128GB on ebay/aliexpress (and even you can sell yours) and I would buy the phone.
(I think it would work but I wasn't the guy giving the specifications at Honor).

You don't know how many files other people keep. If I had that much space in SD, I would've used 200 of it.

True. But it has to be an exception. Regular Joe doesn't need that much. Even an enthusiast user.
For the card just format extFAT in the PC and put it in the phone. It won't break anything. The worst it might happen is the sdcard not being recognized.

In an other thrad there is a user who has a 256Gb card in his phone. So it seem to be working but I would highly recommend asking him in PM which version of the phone he is using. Link

256GB should work, if it's anything like other phones with 128GB limit. As far as I'm aware, manufacturers only normally test and approve up until 128GB, but it will most likely work.
On another note, I wish the 64GB version was available in Europe!

So why did they put a 128GB limit if 256 will work just fine?

How long have the 256GB cards been available in the micro form factor now? (It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that the biggest was 200GB...for some reason?) I'd guess either 256GB cards weren't available or Honor just didn't put some through the validation process. They still come at quite a price premium over 128GB cards, so that was almost certainly worse a year ago.

I'm using the 256 gb card and it is working fine

The 64gig is available in Europe. Its called honor 8 premium and comes only in gold. (FRD-L19). I paid about 25-30€ more for the premium version in Hungary.
