[Q] micro SD card swap

I just purchased 32gb microSD card and I was about copy everything from the old one to the new and start using it. However, I forgot old one was a goldcard.
My questions is will I run into any, like rom flashing, issue new one not being a goldcard?
My current rom is Coredroid V4.8
Thanks

The gold card is only needed to root the phone the initially or if you revert back to stock and want to root again. You will be fine.

I just purchased an 32gb micro sd hc class 10 card. I've tried several ways of copying over my files from my 16gb card and cannot seem to have any success, does anyone have any suggestions? Please!

It's simple.....copy all contents from 16gb card (insert in phone...mass storage) to computer. Then insert 32gb in phone....mass storage and copy the contents of the 16gb card (wherever u saved it on ur computer) and paste them into the removable disk shown in my computer....

What brand did you buy? I'm having trouble finding a certified one, if there is one.

It doesn't say. All it says is: 32gb micro sdhc (10)

I have the San Disk 32Gb class 4 and I transfered all the information from my Kingston 16Gb class 4 card with no problem's at all, question I have is why you would purchase a 32Gb card that was not from a well known vendor? There are to many fake 32Gb card's floating around, especially on E-bay!!!

I agree! My room mate actually tuned me on to HD Tune. This program has a utility built in that will test, real-time, the write/read speeds on the card. Test it the moment you get it, for at least 20 minutes uninterrupted. If it doesn't match the specs it should, return it. If you use Ebay, I would suggest purchasing with paypal, as they have a buyer protection program which helps with issues of "fake" cards.
Sidenote: these cards aren't actually fake. They do work. the problem is they are using cheap parts and even cheaper labor for the manufacturing of these cards, so they may, and probably will fail. Either partly or all the way. what I mean by this is...For example.. you purchase a 32gb class 10 card... 2 months later, the card only reads as 27gb or some weird number. this is a fake. Still usable, but not what you paid for.

Good to know, thank you!

MOE,
Where did you get your 32GB class 4 card from? I see them out there on Amazon and eBay, but I'm having issues trusting them.

I just purchased a ADATA 32GB card and copied all my data and files over from my 8GB with no problem but when I first look at the data it's all there, then some videos and pictures aren't there, just a "!" and I can't access them. I've switched back to my 8, anyone think I have a bad card?

It's possible. I just ordered a 32GB Sandisk class 4 from Amazon.com. No issues with it. I trust nothing but Sandisk.

Yep, after 3 bad generic sd cards, sandisc is the only one that works. You were right!

Micro SDHC Card

I'm updating the puny 2Gb placeholder in my Atrix 2. I finally settled on a little known name , Dane Elec, and ordered it from New Egg. Cost me $55 shipped and it's a class 10 card. They are the company making the new Duracell flash units. When I get it installed I'll come back and do a review if anyone is interested

Looking forward to your follow up.
I just ordered up a 32 gig class 10 as well. I was digging through all the data that seems to be split between the onboard and the sdhc card. I'm curious what happens with the various apps when you replace the card.

I'm pretty sure that if you mount both SD cards to your computer and copy everything from old to new, that the system has no problem carrying on with new card with more space. I have done this several times with Inspire 4G, did it once with Atrix 2 going from the stock 8 to a 16GB that I had, and will be doing it again soon with new 32GB.

So do I need to put the new card in and let the phone format it first or format it on the PC?

Let the phone format it, and then transfer the information to it. Good luck with the class 10 micro sd cards. People on the forum to include I are having issues with them. Supposedly going down to a class 4 and 6 will remove the problems the phone is having.
Taking pictures or recording video, the items will show up at as non readable. Everytime I take a pic the first pic is always bad, all of the others show up just fine. Gets annoying but i've managed to overcome it. Also when that happens all of the pictures you took after take a year to show up in the picture viewer. I have to reboot the device just to take a look at the ones I just shot.

Having a class 10 card in my phone, I concur. I have yet to get a class 4 or 6 card to replace it yet but I have heard that doing so will remedy the r/o issues the phone has. Gonna stop by Frys today and pick one up, maybe even a 16gb.

Some here, smooth sailings so far, but i don't have much on my sd card right now.

shoot, I already placed an order for a class 10, I just assumed it was higher quality, like the way cpu's are binned for speed.
Any recommendation on a specific card that works w/o trouble ?

I've been using a 16G sandisk class 6 card without any problems, glad I seen this thread because I was just about to order some class 10 cards. Guess I'll b holding off on that now.

i am using a sandisk 16 gb class 4 card that was really cheap on newegg with free shipping. i am not sure if the deal is still going on. there is a link below:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171486

I copied what I posted in another thread.
My experience has been just the opposite. I originally purchased a 16gb class 4 PNY card and I had the aforementioned read only issues. I then exchanged it for a 16gb class 10 PNY and all has been good since. and that has been about 3 weeks ago. Go figure?
New Question:
Could it be that different manufactures arrive at various class standards using different architecture? Maybe the same class of card from one manufacturer can act differently then another manufacturer? I think ultimately that it shouldn't matter which card we use if the software/hardware is correct, we should be able to put any "reasonable" card we like in the phone and it should work. Hopefully Moto will issue an update so the phones wont be so picky. By the way I love my Atrix 2 and have no desire to get anything else.

Its not that simple. It depends on the hardware.....my HD camcorder for example, it specifically states that it needs at least a class 4 card, otherwise the info cant be written to the card as fast as it needs to be and will error out. Im sure something similar is at play here. But with Motorola not specifying what class card its compatible with it becomes a trial by error. So far the most common thing among the many people who have had this problem is the class 10 card.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App

Yes I agree I have been playing with HD camcorders for a few years and I understand that the medium whether it is a card or a disc or tape needs to be able to keep up with data stream being sent to it. Im sure something similar is at play here as well but a faster card shouldn't give negative results? You are right that a camcorder has a "minimum" rating but although a faster card will not necessarily give any better performance it certainly shouldn't be worse or cause issues like it appears to on these phones.

Logical, but its not always like that. Example....in car audio, the head unit sends signal via rca's to an external amplifier, the higher voltage the signal, the more efficient the amp will be and the better it will sound. So logic will tell you if you can get an 8v signal to the amp then it should sound lovely since most signals are 1-2volts....well, if ur amp can only handle up to 6v signal then feeding it an 8v signal will cause the amp to go into protect mode and not work right.

I use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.1.8.0, based on recommendations on other xdadevelopers forums such as Inspire 4G. Supposedly does a more thorough format than the stock Windows 7 utility (certainly takes longer). Using this, I have had zero problem using Class 6 and Class 10 cards.

I think I shall try this now
I had my hopes up for this to work... but sadly it does not. Using a PNY 16 gb class 10 card.

It's a bust on the Dane Elec class 10 card. It doesn't say what class it is at New Egg but has a prominent 10 in a circle. Turns out that is for the warranty. It's a class 2 card, goes back today. After reading all this I may step down to a class 4 or 6.
NewEgg has a class 4 32gb card for $41 shipped ordered that based on what I've read

Not at all: http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html

This is actually a really good question
acording to this it should be able to use it up until 32 GB
and for bigger ones it need to use exFAT.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SDXC#SDXC
Linux systems that support SDHC cards also support SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible file system. A proprietary driver is available for the exFAT file system.

There shouldn't be any problem with 64gb if it works on other phones. I doubt that it's hardware related.
Almost all the phones have the same specification about maximum sd size, and it's 32gb. The 64gb is new and the specification on the phones was written when the 64gb wasn't available.

Because 32GB is not enough.I have 46 games on mine sgs 2, only this games need over 30GB free. Were I could put rest stuff like movies, films,mp3, maps for navigation etc.? Some free space for my own video, taken pictures.now I have got 80GB and only 6GB free memory. That the reason that I change lg optimus 3d on sgs 2. 40 GB is not enought
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S 2 (80GB)

Then the boys 3d optimus quietly supports 64gb?

no no no!!
look here!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038039
And this guy "3waygeek" blogged this further:
Well, I just got the SanDisk 64GB microSDXC. As I predicted, the SGS2 couldn't read the exFAT filesystem the card is formatted with. However, the SGS2 did format it as FAT32, and seems to accept it as a valid device.
I'm now copying my old 32GB card to the new 64GB, using standard USB microSDHC card readers on a Windows box. But before I did that, I ran SDTools on the microSDXC. Read speed 18 MB/s, write speed 6.6 MB/s; see the attached snapshot. Those numbers suggest to me that the device is the bottleneck, not the card.
So, aside from the lack of exFAT support, it looks like microSDXC will work. it works! just let ur phone RE-Format it to fat-32

hmm
I saw a post saying that 64gb had worked properly on LG-SU760, but I don't have any idea what sdxc is actually working well on Op3d...
It might depend on sd company.

see here it is available for Rs. 3455/- only!!!

Im new to the forum and my first post. And sorry to interupt on a another thread coz I thought ths wil be just a simple thing to know.
Im intend to buy couple of sandisk mobile ultra 16gb UHS-1,

So I would like to know would these work on our O3D?? Thank you.

If you're using maclaw's roms you can use a 64GB card.

I have a sandisk 16GB, no problem, good speed, works fine !

I have a Transcend 32GB, class 10, kind of like the one you had ozi5783. Bought it a few months ago, but if I knew then that I was going to use CyanogenMod, I would've waited a little bit longer, and bought a 64GB one. Not that I need that much space, but it would just be awesome to have... On the other hand, I guess that then I could store ALL of my favourite things (media) on it, and that's always handy.
Now, as far as I know, the stock phone supports "only" up to 32GB microSD, but like mauam said, with maclaw's roms you can use a 64GB card. Don't know if anyone tried it, though...
Btw, my card works nice and fast, no issues whatsoever... Very pleased.

Just to clear any possible doubt, I use a 64gb card

Well, I finnaly did a test with A1 SD benchmark, and this is the result. I use CM11 by maclaw.
Our phone doesn't support UHS speed, so I'll just buy a 64gb when I'll have the money.
I will try SD booster to see if I get different results and post some screenshots after.

It works well on Maclaw's roms, but is not reconized on Stock rom.

I have a common 8 Gb, works fine with the Cyanogen 4.4.2. I don't think is worth buying a expensive one.

I have a Transcend 32gb and it works well specially on maclaws rom.

I have a Kingston 8gb but I'm planning to buy a 32gb.
Does the size play role to the speed? I read that if you have an external SD card with big capacity, let's say 32gb, the speed would be slower if you compare it with an external SD card of 8gb. Is that true?

I lost my transcend 32gb class10 and I'm back to old 4gb class4 I lost many games

Recommendations would be most appreciated.

I would recommend you Samsung MicroSDXC 64GB PRO Memory Card. Also other Samsung cards are great.
Very good read/write speeds.

I put a Lexar 128 GB 1000x in my MXP and it is functioning great.

I'm considering purchase of this phone - sounds like support for a micro SDcard works well, so is there any benefit to buying the 64 or 32GB internal storage models vs. the 16GB model? I can capture video and do TWRP backups to the (relatively inexpensive) SDcard, so what am I missing on a cheaper 16GB phone?

Is the Moto X a UHS-I or UHS-II compatible host device? The extra cost of these higher-end sdcards would be wasted otherwise, correct?
Edit - I googled this topic and found this post: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/8cda627ead . In short, it confirms that the Moto X benefits from / takes advantage of a UHS-1 U3 microSD card. @EmperorX makes a good suggestion.
I still want to know if I really want to spend extra for a 32 or 64GB Moto X, given that I can buy a 32GB UHS-1 U3 card for US $15.

Both cards are UHS-I class U3
It does support uhs-1 from what I've read. We'll see, my wife's card gets here on Wed and I'll test out. Sandisk extreme pro.

Stoked on it!

Problem
and what the maximum amount of the SD card can be used as system memory? I have a card to 64GB, and when you try to make it a system unit for a long time it formats, but it is empty and then says that the card is damaged, but if you use it like a regular card, it works fine and displays. Do not tell me what could be the problem?

how do the best microSD card options compare to internal storage (performance-wise)?

Can you report on the relative performance of your higher-end microSD card vs. the internal storage? For example:
compare the time it takes to do a TWRP backup of the whole phone to internal vs. the microSD card
Capture full QHD video directly to the microSD card
etc.
Thanks!

Amazon has been really dropping the ball lately. I haven't had a package come on time in about a month or two, even with "guaranteed delivery by". Lol

I use a 32gb Samsung Pro+

I've got a generic 32gb class 10 and I have it as internal and its really laggy when I use Facebook, twitter etc so at the moment I just chuck my games on there. If I get a San disk extreme or pro will that eliminate the lag?

Maybe... But don't expect it to. Internal memory is much faster than even the fastest SD card. If you must use your SD card as internal storage for apps due to space, then move low usage apps to external card and heavy use ones to internal

I would like to know this too. There was some user who was successfully using a 200gb card in his phone. But since then I havent read of anyone else doing it. It would be great if we could use a 200gb card in our phone. Someone who is using it, kindly give your feedback.

Probably me, I have a Sandisk Ultra 200GB card. Works fine, no issues at all, ends up around 180GB usable. I've formatted it in both ext4 and exfat, both work fine. I did some benchmarks in another thread around here somewhere. Any questions, feel free.
