Hi. I'm thinking of buying Choicee (New brand?) 16gb microsd class 4 for my htc sensation. What do you guys think?
http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Choicee-...Domain_207&hash=item256e88359d#ht_2239wt_1139
Also, i'm currently using 8gb class 2, how do i copy EVERYTHING in the card to the new card so they are exact but with extra space? Just copy/paste it straight away or it needs some requirement?
Thank you
The card looks decent but I'd still go with a proven brand like SanDisk or Transcend.
Have you got any apps on your SD card? If so move them to internal memory.
Then copy the contents of the SD onto your computer and then put them onto the new SD card.

yes, currently almost all of my Apps are in SD card..
Just a quick question before I buy my Note 10.1..
I would want to have the 32GB version, but it's really hard to find around here while the 16GBG is available everywhere.. If I buy the 16GB and pop a 64GB SD card in it, can I use this for apps and all, specially the bigger games and such?

Well, it depends on the game. Most games which data file is downloaded by Google Play would be saved in your SDCARD partition. The same goes to most games which download its files upon first start up. So far, I only see Gameloft's Modern Combat 3 and Nova 3 downloaded their data files into EXTERNAL_SD\Android\Data. However newer Gameloft's games now used OBB files, which are saved in SDCARD\Android\OBB.
You could however root your device and write a script to bind folders from your external sd into sdcard, or use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857070.

Ok, thanks. It looks like I'll be forced to get the 16 GB if I want to avoid ordering it. Local stores dont have the 32GB. Is it possible to remap the sd card so the internal is on external_sd and the external is on sdcard? Or would that break stuff?
there is a app called bind directory that is very easy to use and will move the obb files to a directory on your external card. This i used on the nexus 7 before i sent it back because of Very poor build quality... Just get a class 10 name brand sd card.. some games will not run off the slower or generic cards.. Mine is a Patriot card.

+1 I currently use Directory Bind, 16gb Note + 32gb sd card. Have mapped app data folders to external storage, so internal storge is barely used. You will need root though.

Thanks! I don't mind rooting the Note and Directory Bind sounds like it would do exactly what I want to do.. I assume Directory Bind would work fine with 64 GB cards as well? I've seen people having success in inserting 64 GB SD cards in the Note.. Planning to use Sandisk SD card.. I only trust Sandisk and Kingston on SD cards.

64 gb card should be fine. I'm planning on buying 64 gb card myself soon, with all the large games I have purchased room is getting a little crowded on the 32 gb card I have.

The 32GB tablet is a gigantic price gouge, considering a 16GB MicroSD only costs around $15.
I don't think I could respect myself if I paid an extra $120 or whatever for it.
That said, apps and games that store data on your "SD card" will be using the internal storage, not your actual MicroSD card. In some apps you can configure the location for saving data however.
The bulk of my storage is actually videos and music, which of course there's no problem having on the external MicroSD card. That's just me though.
Hi guys
I'm looking for a 64G SDHC for my PC3100. I've came across news that not all 64g SDHC cards are compatible with the P3100.
Which are the recommend brands to buy?
Not sure if it's still relevant, but here is some recommendations www.sakoman.com/OMAP/microsd-card-perfomance-test-results.html
I know that the P3100 and the P3113 are quite different, but the 64gb sdcard that I'm using is a standard Sandisk microSD and it works fine with my P3113.

You'll most likely need to re-format the card to Fat32.
The Sandisk is the GO-TO card for 64 GB, but the Tab 2 can't read the stock card format and from what I've read cannot handle the actual formatting of the card, so you need either another android device that will or use a program on your computer to format it to Fat32, once that is done it works fine, using one in my 3113 right now.
For phones like the S3, you can get them with up to 64 GB internal phone storage, what's the point?
You can't transfer your songs or movies from your SD card to your phone, so that means the internal memory can only store apps, and who has 64 GB of apps?
Isn't 1GB big enough for all your apps?
Or am I missing something here?
... I have over 1Gb of apps and I don't even have any particularly big ones on there... and I didn't think I had many, either. I have been considering a nearly 1Gb game app for my tablet, and I'm sure some people have mental fortitude to play such games on their phones (I like the bigger screen, can't concentrate on the phone sized screen for really detailed games).
Why couldn't you put music and movies on the internal storage ? Kies will try to put music on internal by default - I actually had to move to the external SD after transferring because I didn't realise that. I'm sure I could do the file transfer in the opposite direction as well and cut and paste from external to internal.
I think ur misunderstood by 64GB in S3...its Internal USB storage (in-built memory card) not phone memory.
I have a 32GB Galaxy S2 model..it doesn't mean that it has 32GB phone memory..lol

This is internal but accessable as storage space for films etc.
On many new devices (like nexus4/7/10) everything is kept on one partition so the internal memory is for apps and files

Wait, so you're saying that I can transfer files from my computer/sd card to the internal storage?
How?

Yeah, I meant internal storage, as in space, and not RAM, if that's what you mean.
Unless you're saying there's the internal storage + internal sd card + external sd card?
You can drag and drop or use Kies/Kies Air or any other such program. I mean, they're not going to mandate you buy an external SD card in order to store media, that would be silly.

I've installed Kies, and it does exactly what Windows Explorer can do. It syncs, backups etc. files on your SD CARD, I can't find any option to browse my PHONE STORAGE, like you said it could.

So which one is the one you can buy in stores?
Where's the internal memory card located?
I've got a Galaxy Ace.
Galaxy ace doesn't have it.
Models like Galaxy s, S advance, S duos, S2, S3, Note...and others have it inbuilt.
You can't remove nor expand the internal SD card.
There is a slot for external card too like in galaxy ace....external SD cards are available for sales everywhere.

SD CARDS ARE NOT GOOD!
having internal storage is much better then having SD storage, reason being is the phones processor has process stuff much quicker if its on the internal memory. When stuff is stored on an SD card the access time is always greater. Also theat is not true you can store your mvoies videos and pictures on the interal memory.(I have an S3 and i know this works)

I see.
So you can transfer files from your computer to your internal or external sd card, or from your internal card to external card or vice versa, but you can't transfer to your phone memory?

Galaxy Ace has 158 MB internal storage, so I have to use my SD card.
How do I store movies/songs on my internal storage?

Yup..u got it right.
U can't transfer to internal memory (phone memory) but u can transfer to Internal Storage (inbuilt SD card) and External storage.

I don't know how they wire these phones up, but I can tell you that the storage memory that is actually inbuilt to the phone will be faster than anything you plug in. SD Cards usually take more time for transfers/reads than internal memory. Hence, people go for more internal memory nowadays rather than use an SD card to store their crap on.
it is always better to have a hard-soldered memory chip for faster processing .
many applications wont install to an SD, one of them being Facebook!
So i haven't upgraded yet to Lollipop, mainly because of memory issues.
I saw that in Lollipop you can transfer apps to microSD, so i was thinking of buying this one to replace my paltry class 4 16 mSD. http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Class-UHS-1-SF32UX-TQ/dp/B007M4XQSK
i play a lot on my phone, so do you think i will encounter any performance issues if i transfer my games from internal memory to SD?
Playing games from microSD card shouldn't be a problem at all. Especially an UHS class microSD
But... the link you posted refers to SD card, not microSD, you won't be able to put in your phone
http://www.emag.ro/card-de-memorie-sony-micro-sdhc-32-gb-class-10-adaptor-sd-sr32uxa/pd/D9M2RBBBM/ -> this actually the one. i searched that one amazon for some reviews but in the rush i didnt see it wasnt microSD.
do microSD cards still come in FAT32 by default or can i reformat them to NTFS/exFAT?

You can move only apk to microsd, not the data or obb folder, so a memory card is not so useful.
sony developers said that in sony support blog.

I can't imagine having un-rooted phone. It's just too much hassle to find workaround for every little thing.
