Hi, I've been looking at buying a U3/V30 speed class microSD for my Moto G 4G but something I read somewhere (I can't remember where) gave me the impression that you needed a drive that had special support for them in order to use them to their max speed. Is this true, and if it is, does the Moto G 4G have support for this?
Thanks,
Benfll
It's true that you need host support for UHS speeds, and I think the Moto G doesn't even support UHS-I.

Isn't UHS-I (U1) the same as C10? I have a C6 in at the moment because it has more space than my C10 but I've had the C10 in there at one point and it worked.

This Wikipedia article is what I've been looking at that said that, in the Speed class ratings table.

According to the table on Wikipedia, UHS-I and UHS-II are bus speeds, so they need support by both the host and the card. U1 and U3 are speed ratings for the card. Since at least U3 is faster then the non-UHS "high speed" bus speed, I guess that you need a UHS interface to benefit from U3. I don't know if U1 is equivalent to C10 or not, they seem to have made all this much more complicated than needed just to confuse customers.
What the speed ratings don't tell you is how the card's controller handles write requests to different areas of the flash memory and the implicit block erase operations. Lots of background info (unfortunately old) is here: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/KernelArchived/Projects/FlashCardSurvey

I want to use a higher capacity MicroSD card for my tytn I. And needed to know what kind of card should I get...because I think people have gotten cards which sometimes do not work with their phone! So if anyone know any please share the info. Thanks

If there is such a thing as 6 and 8 Gb micro storage cards, they should work. Consult with Cingular stores or other cellular outlets.
8125
2.25.11.1
Depends on the Windows Mobile Version
I am using a 4GB DanDisk Micro SDHC with no problems. Upgraded my 8525 to a cooked ROM from this site that had SDHC support cooked in (the proper drivers).
AFAIK, all WM6 updates for the Hermes/Tytn I offer SDHC capability -- WM5 doesn't. So upgrade to WM6 if you haven't already.
Note that the SDHC standard supports cards up to 32GB; 4 & 6 are already on the market, with 8GB by the end of November, and possibly 16 and/or 32GB next year.
I have a 6GB MicroSD in my HTC Touch.

Are there mini SD cards this high for the Wizard?
No. The Wizard doesn't support mini SDHC at this time. There are, however 4GB miniSD cards (not mini SDHC) that some users have used successfully -- check out the Wizard forums for more info.
Thanks

Ok,
I saw the "noob" video and since I am a "noob" I am locked out of allot of the forums, so replying back to them is a little hard at the moment.
I have had a number of android based devices, currently an EVO 4G on sprint with the latest build that Sprint authorized (not rooted). I am also looking at upgrading to a Galaxy Note/Journal when it comes out, but I do have storage requirements that exceed 32gb on my Android devices.
I guess this is a double question:
Is exfat support a purely driver (software) issue with Android right now, or is it both a software and hardware issue? the 64gb class 6 MicroSDXC cards that Sandisk has available now are the same form factor as the 32gb cards and do physically fit in the phone.
Also, is there support for exfat II where I can use the Sandisk Mobile Ultra 64TB MicroSDXC II in my Android device?
I recently got a new Sony Xperia Z3(D6653) which comes with an internal memory of 16GB. Needless to say, I soon ran out of space and started hunting for SD cards when I came across a particularly interesting one : "SanDisk MicroSD Card 32 GB Class 10 Ultra"
It has high read and write speeds which is exactly what I need. My concern is does the Xperia Z3 support Class 10 microSDHC cards? Will I get any problems if I use this card?
I also need to know if it supports 64GB SDXC.
Thanks in advance.
That does work fine, at least with my class 10 SanDisk having 16 GB.

I bought a 4.7 Idol 3 and just now am seeing comments about the dual-sim variant lacking expandable storage. I've been looking for more info and all spec websites (including from my country) mention it should have a MicroSD slot.
Some dual-sim phones' tray also doubles a card reader, so you can choose whether to have expandable storage or dual sim capabilities. I've been wondering if the same is true for the Idol 3.
Which is true?
The model I'm getting is 6039J-JAALBRC-1, bought in Brazil.

That's true, either 2 sim-cards or sim+micro sd

I don't think so...
The dual-sim slots arent cut out for the MicroSD cards,and even the software of the stock rom for the dual sim variant(in my case the Idol 3 6045K) doesnt show any ability to recognise an SD card.

Yeah,that is what I just said.
The dual sim variant doesn't support MicroSD cards.
But it does have 32GB of storage,while the single-sim ones have 16GB.
When I got this device,I kinda hoped its second sim slot would act as a MicroSD card slot (like in Meizu M2 Note),but I am pretty satisfied with Cloud storage too.

I don't know about 5.5 model, but 4.7 has either 8 or 16 gb of internal memory

That's too bad. Lack of MicroSD suppport would be a deal breaker if I saw it earlier, but I'm going to keep the Idol 3 considering I paid such a low price for it. Hopefully I'll get used to the available ~10 GB it comes with.
Thanks for making that clear.
I have run out of room for more apps on my LG G Pad F 8.0 (LG V495 - i.e., the AT&T version).
It is running Android version 6.0, so unless it is somehow prevented, it should be possible to "Adopt" the SD card.
I have a Samsung 128 GB EVO SDXC card (Class 10, U1, XC I, UPC 887276085586). I have figured out the meaning of most of the numbers and I know that there are faster cards around (such as various Sandisk U3 speed cards).
Questions:
Has anyone done such adoptions on this tablet?
If I do this, should I get one of the U3 speed cards? I don't know if this would help, since I don't know the bus speed is.
Can someone point me to instructions for doing the adoption?
I guess the other option would be to find out how to remove some of the "bloatware" on the tablet - those apps I don't even want but cannot be removed simply. But I'd probably just run out of room again later.
