Don't be an idiot like I was.
Before you buy any micro SD cards on eBay, make sure the seller is *not* listed on this website:
http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/
In fact, if any mods are listening, could you please pin this thread? I know some of the forums for other devices have threads on this subject, but if they sink, nobody will get the warning.
Thanks.
or you could just avoid buying flash from ebay all together.
Whatever works.
I was wandering around my hometown yesterday pricing 16GB cards. The cheapest price in a shop was EU80 -- nearly $100.
I believe there are reputable sellers on ebay selling for less than half that.

I got my 16gb card for 2.50$
That's great, but be careful. The biggest scam out there is 2 and 4gb cards programmed to look like 16gb to your operating system. The only way to test them is with a free utility called h2testw.
Hopefully your card is a good one. Mine turned out to be 2gb.

There are a lot of Kingston 32GB microsd cards being sold out of the US via Ebay for $199+, and they're all fake. Only Sandisk have released the 32GB versions.
Be warned..
For those in the US, just buy from Newegg. I got 3 16 GB microSD cards for $41 apiece.
you can also tell by filling up the card
if it doesn't go past 2gb, it's not a 16gb card

Newegg was selling Fake Intel processors only a few weeks back. No one can be trusted
Amazon for flash
I prefer to buy from Amazon as they tend to shift the fake sellers off the marketplace quickly.. just bought a 16gb micro for £21.00

5 week delivery though verb i have just checked my 16gb from ebay and it was fake paypal claim gone in cheers op
Better to wait...
I've not touched eBay memory cards since I bought a Sony from a 'trusted' seller. Turned out to be a cheap knock off. I had my money back in a day after suggesting to the seller that I'd be contacting Sony's fraud investigations team if I didn't get prompt action.
Then I contacted them anyway

They "Weren't just Selling them".
Their supplier sent them a batch of fake CPUs. Once new-egg discovered the error, they refunded money and offered discounts and also dropped the supplier.
It was clearly an accident.

wth. You sound like you work for a certain political spin machine.
Clearly, anyone with half a brain, can see that Newegg expediently rectified the situation. If anything, this situation with the bunk processors would put Newegg in an even more trustworthy position than they were prior to this unfortunate incident.
i recommend newegg we have 4 a-data 16gb class 6 cards from them.. work great.. stay away from 16gb sandisk cards.. i have had 5 failures with these (their 8gb cards work fine though)

I bought two Sandisk 16gb Class 6 cards for £40 each from a Asian in Canada. When I received, I benchmarked them & found that they didn't even perform at a class 2 level.
I put on a claim on ebay & contacted seller. The seller said that there are alot of fakes on ebay & that I has sold thousand in his store without any complaints. I got a full refund.
I bought a Genuine Team 16GB Microsd Class 6 from another seller ebay id: taiwanlien. I have benchmarked it and everything.
If anybody does want to buy memory from ebay buy it from this seller taiwanlien.
Thanks

Are you UK based or not?
If you are in the U.K try 7dayshop.com or mymemory.co.uk or picstop.co.uk, I have been using them for years and in the respect of 7dayshop, their own brand is also trustworthy.

Good call, was going to recommend 7day also! :highfive:
Their 64GB micro sdcard is only £22, but out of stock at the moment, their 32GB card is also reasonable at £13.
I would only buy a card on Amazon if it was "SOLD" and "FULFILLED" by Amazon.
I would not buy one that was only fulfilled by Amazon.
Never from eBAY.
I bought a 128GB card from Amazon. -> Amazing...

local stores are best. However they don't have all sd cards you can find on the internet, but they have class 10, 6, 4 and 2 sd cards.
I have bought a class 6 16gb for 20 euro, samsung mark, never had problems with it. Only one time the partition was damaged (RAW partition), fortunately I could recover my data with TestDisk
I bought this one (32GB) a week ago and it's working great with a one year warranty. Also available in other sizes in this same link. Plus it's inexpensive and brand name. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FIYF0OE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi
I bought a samsung pro 64gb sdxc from ebay member ''evelectron_tech''
Seems to be good store but will see.
I bought a 64GB on amazon through a partner and was burned with an 8GB fake. Even if the card "works" you need to fill it up AND test the files to see if it works. Amazon did refund promptly and I settled on a more reputable seller on Amazon (SoCal Trade). Reviews are your friend, and if it's too new to have any reviews, avoid.
Go to bestbuy and for a few dollars more you can get the sandisk 128gb which is out now. Works beautifully on our S4

How much is the 128GB one?
I got mine for 115.
I recommend
Samsung Electronics 16/32/64GB EVO Micro SDHC 48MB/s Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MP32DA/AM)
I'd get this one:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...CKqu_TXKRWJYG1hoCet3w_wcB&Q=&is=REG&A=details
they've got that car in stock cheaper than anywhere and have close to 160,000 positive feedback left and 5 stars. That's a LOT of positive feedback
They're B&H Photography, you can see em on this list:
https://www.google.com/shopping/pro...3&sa=X&ei=TvPJU7DoENK7oQT_u4GIDw&ved=0CFwQ6SQ
but that is the fastest microSD in the world. 50% faster than Sandisk's next fastest. It's likely my next one. Consistent speed of 45 read and write. with bursts of 80 reading, 50 writing

I second this... bought the same one. Works well
apparently Toshiba released a competition-destroying MicroSD. So far all I can see is it appears to be called simply UHS-II. While every other of the top MicroSD cards are UHS-I, this one easily deserves the UHS-II designation. While the previous Title-holders were just shy of 50MB/s. This one in it's 32GB form is 260MB/s read and 240MB/s write. The 64, while significantly slower, is still much faster than the rest, reading at 145MB/s and writing at 130MB/s. Quite impressive. But I can't find a model $ or anywhere selling it
but here's the report on it:
http://www.toshiba.com/taec/news/press_releases/2014/memy_14_708.jsp
Is there some place where to buy them unlocked (ready for use in Europe) cheaper then these?
I have found these (prices calculated from $ and GBP to euros)
Moto G 8GB 130euros – ebay.
Moto G 16GB 175euros – amazon uk and ebay.
Moto G 4G 8GB with sd card slot 185 euros - amazon uk.
So is there some cheaper place where to get these models?
I would be really happy to see the Moto G 4G with sd card for cheaper price,
because for example at gsm arena they say that you can get it for about 160euros,
but i can' find it cheaper than 185euros..

Lol eBay is where most sellers go to p
overprice their phones. I don't know about SD slots, but a GSM unlocked one here in the US (at least in NYC) goes for about $150 (about 116 euros?), my CDMA one only cost me $40 (31 euros approximately).
I know Craigslist is worldwide, and that's where I got mine, try there. And have you checked swappa? There's a link to Swappa above near the XDAdevelopers logo.

No joke, mine was only $40, but remember, its CDMA.
That poster doesn't ship internationally. My GREATEST recommendation is to wait for:
http://www.motorola.com/us/Moto-G-(2nd-Gen.)/moto-g-2nd-gen-pdp.html
Only $180 and a 5 inch screen.

The phone information says the M8 comes in 16 and 32GB, but I've never heard about a 16GB variant. Does it exist?
I don't recall what I saw the storage was on Verizon's site. I was still with US Cellular then, and I was seriously considering switching in May on vacation — I was gonna get the LG G2. Best Buy had it for $0.01 with a 2-year contract. Checked out the phone, wasn't feeling it, so I backed down. But I kept looking online after I got back, and the M8 won me over. (My first HTC, too.) All the specs checked out, and I would swear up and down they didn't say what the internal storage was. I assumed 16GB.
So when I go to actually switch, they don't have any One M8's, or any HTC for that matter, out. I told the guy, I'm with US Cellular and I want to switch, I want an HTC One M8. So he goes in the back, and comes out with my new phone. I saw the "32GB" right away but didn't ask. Sure enough, it was the advertised $199.99 with contract. This was in June. The phone wasn't on sale per se, but it had the $100 mail-in rebate.
So I come up here to learn how to root it, and I see it's listed as a 16GB phone with a 32GB option. That's always bugged me, but I never thought to ask until now. So... is XDA wrong, or is there in fact a 16GB model you can get?

Most models are 16 gig. Some carriers like Verizon only sell the 32 gig variant though.
Okay. So XDA is incorrect, since this is the Verizon area, to declare the phone as 16GB (quick facts) and mention the 32GB variant, but the 16GB option exists outside of Verizon.
Personally I think no phone should be sold with less than 32GB at this point. It might cost them a buck or two more but it makes a huge difference.
I just noticed also that the description indicates it's got a 2.5 GHz processor. It doesn't. The Verizon variant is clocked at 2.3GHz. As for memory, I don't know how people scrape by with only 16 gig. I'm not sure how people get by with 32 gig, honestly. I've got 96 gig installed in mine and it's over half full.

This is true too and due to the fact we have an lte based phone.
A quick Google search shows the 16gb version http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-Unlocked-International-Version/dp/B00J7RQDDK

Easier if anything. Most people are going to go for the 64GB variant followed by the 32GB. The 128GB will see most of its sales to the kinds of people who frequent forums like this one and other power users. Any hardship would be due to carriers not bothering to carry as many of the 128GB units.

I imagine this will be the case.
I'm waiting on pre-orders to be available for 128GB versions on AT&T. Think I've seen a few people post on here that they have pre-ordered them, but at both Best Buy and AT&T websites, 128GB preorders are not available. Talked to Best buy sales guy, had no clue why. AT&T sales guy said it was a 'technical issue' with no resolution timeframe, for what that's worth. Making me nervous....

AT&T's pre-order website was definitely having some issues. It actually managed to swap around my billing info when I purchased my device somehow. Got an e-mail later the night I ordered it saying they couldn't charge the card (even though I saw the charge on my online billing lol). Turns out my bank had just rejected it because their system managed to swap JUST the name on the credit card I used with the name of someone else on the account.
With that said, I've got a 128GB Black Sapphire Edge currently processing.
I'm not sure about the standard S6, but if I had to guess, I'd say they probably just ran out. They're definitely going to stock more 32 and 64GB variants than 128s, so it's possible that they just didn't quite order enough for their first shipment.
