Hi!
Is it stupid to buy a SanDisk class 2 SDCH card for my Sensation? Or does it not matter as long as it is SDHC?
I realy don't want a slow card this time and this new sensation maybe handles faster ones than my old HD2 did....
Please help to buy the right card
stick with a MINIMUM of class 4.
The classification of card is how fast the card reads and writes. This will help you understand....
http://dcom.me/iS9nz
I would go with class 10, for write and read speeds if you plan on watching movies or putting alot of content on the card, usually the bigger the card the higher the class you want...I have a 16gb class 2 and got a class 10 instead because it would lag loading all mp3's and photos
I have a Class 2 32GB Sandisk card in my SGSII, its fine for recording and decoding 1080p video, I suspect the same will be true of the Sensation (can confirm later, my Sensation should be with me later today).
If the budget is less of an issue then obviously you're better off with a faster card (not in terms of in-phone performance, but certainly for PC-card transfers).
Amazon has 8gb class 10 for like $20

Can anybody actually live with so little storage though? I know I can't!
Found class 2 ultra....
Hi!
I've found a SanDisk 16GB Class 2 Ultra .... is it ok? What does the ultra stand for... higher speed something....
Can you compare class 2 ultra with a pure class 4?
You can't go wrong with Class 10 just to be safe. I got a 16GB class 10 at Fry's for around $45.

Dont get a class 2 card......
I bought a 32GB Class 10 card. I bought this one.
The card needs special formatting in order for it to work in an Android phone properly. Otherwise it gets data corruption and eventually unreadable. Those instructions can be found here.
Once I did that it has worked flawlessly. No issues, fast data transfer and about 28.9GB of usable space. There are other Class 10 cards out there but I've seen issues reported on all of them. They may just need the same style formatting as this one.
DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT get less than a class 2 card. You will regret the time it takes to transfer files back and fourth and personally I don't recommend anything slower than a class 6. Here are some 16GB Class 6 cards for fairly cheap prices.

Does this apply for all SD cards or just yours? I'm thinking of doing this to my new SD card.

No, its vendor specific. Patriot cards are known to have issues on android.
Anyways, to your original question, anything but card capacity and class is irrelevant. The ultra is a marketing gimmick, nothing more.

Today I got my new 16 gb card class 2 ultra and in my test app the result was almost the same as my original one class 4 card.
I ran another test app and it reports my new card as a class 6 card.

Thanks. I'm also struggling which SD card I should pick.
I have some bad experience previously with my Milestone. I heard Android phones have poor compatibility with fast SD cards, especially Class 10 cards. But unluckily I needed fast SD card for Apps2Ext with limited ROM on my Milestone.
But now my phone has decent amount of ROM space, does it mean that I can live with a slow Class 4 SD card? Is there any advantage of using a fast, Class 6 or 10, card?
I want to hear the opinion from users of fast cards.
Thanks.

Don't know that I can answer your questions directly. Only reason I got the 16G class 6 was because it was cheap and available at the time. I don't put apps on the sdcard and previously was working just fine with a 8G class 2. I just needed more space.
I bought a Ridata 16GB class 6 card and I usage a hard time getting the camera to save pictures to it. Always works for mundane things, but a soon as I want to take pictures if my kids it craps out. I have to unmount and then take it out and put it back in to work. Looks like I should ignored the review from Newegg.

i just bought a sandisk mobile ultra micro SDHC sd card, class 10, 32GB, will let you know if it works on my experia arc s when i get it
I'm sure that will do the trick 32Gb calmly handle
As for klass 4 is can you put this card in shoe
Do not worry about what you said
If Sony said class 4 then get a class 4 64Gb it'll work. It's like how Motorola said class 6 on the razr.

Hi..yesterday i bought xperia L...and i want to buy a microsd...WHICH MICRO SD IS BEST FOR XPERIA L? AND HOW GB?
THANK YOU
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
I would certainly get a 16GB micro SD card to start.
Look at reviews on Amazon to see which is the best CLASS, and the class compatible with the L.
Example, class 10 16GB micro SDHC on Amazon, could be a good SD card for you.
Purchase an micro SDHC card. Also, check out read/write stats as well.
Confusing, but the more info out there, the better you are informed as a consumer.
Samsung might be good for a microSD card as well.
Sent from my C2104 using xda app-developers app
Basically any Class 10 microSD would be good. You don't have to buy the most expensive, but I also don't recommend the cheapest one, just buy one that's not some Chinese knockoff. You can get a fast 16 gig Sandisk class 10 card for less than $15 on Amazon (the red and grey one), that should be more than enough (I mean the speed of it). The size of it can be anything that's enough for you, I have an 8 GB one but 95% of it is empty, but for some other guy maybe a 32 GB card would still not be enough.
I agree.
You can also get a good deal on Sony microSD cards on Amazon as well.
But get an SDHC micro card, and at least 16GB, which should be plenty for apps, pix, and music.

The Flex2 can be real fast. And it can be real slow.
The difference lies in the question: Did you move some apps to the SD card?
If you did, then the Flex2 will get slower and slower the more apps you move to the SD card. I got the motherboard changed in my Flex 2 and initially it was running real fast, until I started shifting some apps to the SD card and it crawled.
Both before and after the motherboard was changed, the behavior was the same.
Maybe it depends on the sd card .
I got a 64GB which is fast and recommend for 4k
I moved some apps to the sd card but the performance is still the same.
I've got an ultrafast uhs 128gb which tops out the A1 SD bench app. The easiest way to see the performance degradation is to go to Google plus and click on a picture, then share external. There is a very great delay awaiting for the share to apps icons to load up.

What's the read write speed for the card you got? I just picked up a 80+mb/s card seems pretty good
Sent from my LG-H959 using XDA Free mobile app
Iv3 confirmed it to myself couple times already. Once you start moving many apps to the SD card it'll all slowdown.

I got an Samsung 64GB Pro.
I think you are right.
I moved a few apps back to phone and now it looks like the phone runs better.
But important is an solution. I report that to LG, maybe they can help
I found the video ... this is the lag I am talking about... if all the apps installed on phone then you won't experience this type of lag.

Good that some find solutions
In my case i dont have any apps on sd and the microlag is all over the phone. Not a specific app
I send LG Support an e mail.
Hope they answer fast
If the phone had 64GB, ok than its not a big deal but it only got 16GB
