Since I may get an HTC Desire HD to replace my slightly ageing iPhone 3GS, I'll be needing at least a 16GB microSD to store my stuff on.
I was looking through Amazon and found a 16GB SanDisk one for £22, but it's only class 2 which I understand is pretty crap, right? I've had experience with bad microSDs and it wasn't pleasant (be very wary of Nokia branded cards).
What's the minimum class I should get for a decent experience and so I can record decent video?
Class 4 is ok, class 6 is better, but i think that there is no need for faster than class 4.
I had 8gb class 4 kingstone on my HD2 and i had none problem or lag with anything. Class 4 is double speed than class2.
Ill go for 16gb class 4
OK, thanks
One more question: is there a way to encrypt the contents of the card?
Not that I know off and still be able to use with the phone vi think with htc's new thing you can wipe it remotkey also if it gets stolen
How about encrypting the phone itself then? That's where all my emails etc will be anyway, presumably.
Does the remote wipe include the microSD though? I'm not sure if HTC has confirmed it does.
I believe the D'HD should have enough phone RAM that you can keep sensitive material like emails off the SD. In which remote wipe should be sufficiently safe. The current weakness though is that the unit will not self format after say ten failed screen lock attempts. A thief can literally sit there tapping away until entry. Surprised such a feature hasn't creeped into the ROMs yet.

I'm planning to flash some unofficial ROMs to it anyway (that's where the fun is in an OS like Android anyway ), so d'ya think such a feature can be implemented in one of those?
And do you ever think that Android will get "on-the-fly" content encryption like iPhones and BlackBerries?
If you don't use Apps2SD there is shouldn't be any need for faster than class 4 I think.
Watching p0rn generally doesn't need much speed.

I was thinking more along the lines of recording the video, I remember reading somewhere that to record 720p at a decent frame rate you needed a high class.
If HTC do it right, with the help of a intermediate buffer, into RAM or even internal memory disk and after writing to the sdcard, there's no need for a class 4 or 6 card. A class 2 will suffice
We are talking almost of a computer not a digital camera or a digital recorder that usually don't have this amount of RAM or internal memory
Correct...
I have been saying this in other topics.
The later phones with large storage areas write their camera data first to the internal memory.
As such you can happily get away with a Class 2.
It's only when you are transfering data between the phone & a PC over USB where you will notice any speed differences.
OK, thanks
I also found out that there's an Android app called MyStash which will encrypt individual files, could come in handy. I'd still prefer on-the-fly encryption, but hey.

The DHD has enough horsepower to run on-the-fly encryption.
You can achieve this quite easily:
What you need to do, is basically build static copies of lvm, device-mapper and cryptsetup.
Add vgchange -ay, and cryptsetup luksOpen to initrd just before mount.
An easy way to realise key reading is to save your key on your microsd card (this of course implies that your sdcard is mounted earlier), and make cryptsetup read from it:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/your_vol/your_lab some_id < /mnt/sdcard/my_key.txt
it only makes sense to encrypt /data/data, /data/misc and /data/system, of course.
You can always encrypt the whole /data if you want.
The only problem would be to fit the static binaries into your initrd (you can build some of them with busybox and integrate it).
That's it.
I have been thinking about encrypted aufs for a while, but since my only device is the "old" Hero, I couldn't bring that plan to execution yet.

But then, I have seen several threads with people complaining about the low 720p video recording fps they had with their Desire. Replacing the SD card for a faster one improved their fps.
A faster SD card was the difference between bad 720p video performance and acceptable performance.

The reason they would complain is because the Desire has very little internal storage for buffering compared to the likes of the DHD & Galaxy S.
On these devices it does not matter what class rating you use.... the video file is first written to internal memory storage before being transferred to microsd.

Are you sure? As far as I know, the Desire should have more ram with 576Mb, and the Galaxy S 512Mb. (DHD of course has 768Mb).
The Galaxy also has a 8Gb / 16Gb internal SD card. But here we would again be comparing SD card speeds...
Go for class4 too be sure and ready for perfect recording then

SanDisk 32GB Class 4 from Amazon @ $22 USD.
So far so good.
I installed a new SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB UHS-1 Class 10 (SDSDQUA-032G-A11A) in mine, and it worked. Even though it benchmarks much better than my old SanDisk 32GB Class 4 (SDSDQM-032G-B35N,) the difference in performance is negligible. I tested two DVPs side by side, and the most significant difference I saw was about a 30% reduction in time for a 100MB game install.
I've heard that the Samsung 32GB Class 10 (MB-MSBGA/US) also works, and benchmarks extremely well. Make sure, as always, that you buy from a reputable seller. I (foolishly) bought one from a seller on ebay, and it was a fake with 4k writes 30 times slower than the genuine card.
Generally you want to stay away from class 10 cards. The only two I know of that have random write speed fast enough to be acceptable are the SanDisk SDSDQUA-032G-A11A and the Samsung MB-MSBGA/US.
Both of those cards are currently $40. The SanDisk SDSDQM-032G-B35N is perfectly adequate for $20.
I'm interested in finding out if anyone has put a 64GB card in this. The DVP's lack of hard reset key press combo makes me nervous to try. I've heard they work in Samsung Focus i917.

I've had a SanDisk 32GB Class 4 from Amazon in my phone for a few months and everything seems peachy. I made sure to buy a retail packaged card from a seller listed on Sandisk's authorized reseller website to be sure that I had a legit card.

Brand new. I've had problem with it, because after the OS start, it pops up that there is wrong SD card inserted and I must reinsert the original one. So I did, initiated factory reset and when the phone restarted I've removed battery, inserted that new 32GB card and it works till now without any problems
Anyone using 64GB?

Upgraded from a 16GB Sandisk Class 4 to this : http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-for-android/?capacity=32GB
There was a HUGE difference in the first boot time and overall responsiveness was much better(at first anyway,I don't know whether it's become slower now). Definitely worth it Camera performance seems to have improved too(viewfinder and recorded videos don't lag as much).Now I wish Dell had provided the option to take 720p videos at 30 fps. Benchmarks don't seem to have improved by much, though.
Is there any risk in trying a 64GB SDXC card?
No,because it supposedly was there on the T-Mobile site a couple of years ago( 64GB version of the DVP). Even if it doesn't get supported,the worst that could happen is you need to use it in your camera or something most probably if it doesn't work properly it'll recognize 32GB.

Isn't that the stock card? Unless yours was 8GB. You really should have went to the 32GB class 10 or atleast something above class 6, it makes A LOT of difference.
Transcend 32G class 10 works too
I have a question for you guys, my stock 8GB card is almost full and I would really like to upgrade it. Is there a way to keep my SMS's? Also, I already updated to WP7.8, will the phone revert back to 7.5 if I change the SD card? Any other risks you guys can think of? Thanks.

upgraded to sandisk 32gb uhs-1 (class 10)
works quite well. phone is performing faster and is a bit more fluid.
multitasking capabilities are much better.
been using the phone as my primary. heavy day to day use.

also, ive noticed that regardless of changing the microsd card. the 720p video capabilities of this phone are still below expectations. there is still a lot of noticeable lag when recording hd video. does anyone have tips to fix this or improve on it in any way?

All you had to do was look at my sig
What Micro SD should I get.
1. A smaller but faster Micro SD (64 GB 80MB/s)
2. Bigger but slower (128GB 48MB) Class10
Do you you notice the speed difference between 48 and 80 MB/s. Make a difference on my DSLR, but not sure if the Shield will take advantage of the speed.
I guess it depends on what you will mainly be using it for. I have an old class 10 64gb card that still works sufficiently even for running games directly from it.
I believe the shield's SD slot is pretty high quality so I would imagine it can use the faster speed cards.. but most of us are gonna be looking for more space for games considering games like HL2 take around 2gb or more.
TLDR: get the 128gb imo.

I'm using a class 10 32gb card and I have all my games on it using folder mount and I do not notice any lag or slow loading of games. I think the only time you would want anything faster is if you record a lot of videos. Otherwise I don't think it's necessary.

Same type of card for me as well. I think mine is about a 35mb/s speed. Plenty fast enough for offloading game assets from what I've experienced to date.
I am dont sure, I have sandisk ultra 64gb (30mb/s) and pny (64gb) 90mb/s elite performance, I dont feel tangible improvements in much extend. The only time i really did feel the difference was when ripped some 4k movies from youtube... and some pdf's over 200 pages in size.:silly:
I ordered a 128GB (New version) ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M562LF4/ )
And it will be here tonight. I don't have my shield tablet yet. I managed to snag one from the official amazon shipment that sold out in a matter of minutes. Which should be here on Friday or Monday.
I do have a Verizon HTC One Max as my daily driver. I do understand it's a different device. But I will do some tests on the HTC and the exact same tests on the Shield Tablet when it arrives.
I'm new to testing SD cards. So if people could make a list of what tests they'd like me to run I would be happy to run them.

i don't have one yet, but i would put all my games on internal if i had space , i mean only games ! and than few apps and other stuff on sd card if you don't have space a better sdcard as i know only reduces loading times which can make your gallery lag if its slow ! (when you start it, it reads pictures from sd card, even if you don't have pictures there it will check there as i know)
I have seen a variety of statements regarding the useful speed of SD cards that the Note 4 is capable of, in particular that a card like the Samsung PRO (90MBs) is overkill and the EVO model (48MBs) is good enough (i.e., it's at the max speed that the Note 4 can use). Is the Note 4 limited to about 50MBs on the internal microSD?

I currently have both the Samsung Pro (64GB version) and the EVO (128GB version). I noticed a few things:
The read speed of the Pro is crazy and seems to be not held back by much. I can hit crazy speeds in both Random and Sequential.
I presume the limiting factor is the write speed which I am truely unsure of that.
Do you really need THAT crazy read speeds. Really, I only bought the Pro for its durability of its MLC vs the TLC in the EVO.

I use EVO-equivalent SanDisk cards in a couple of devices and don't see any issues with apps that actually access the cards, either reading or writing - that in my mind is the true test of interest to me, not pure benchmarking results. But I was really curious as to the benefits people were seeing with the faster cards to determine if the price premium was worth it. As to durability, do you think that will make much difference given the relative limited lifetime and read/write cycles that consumers use the cards for?
Its up to you~

Really, I doubt that the speed of the PRO is perfectly utilized in the Note 4 or any phone for that matter. On something like a GoPro 4 Black, then the answer would be yes. EVO in terms of speed is quite fine. Unless if you are running stuff off the SD, I doubt there is much of a difference. There are different scenarios where the faster PRO version would make a difference, so you would have to detail to me what you plan on using it for and in which way. As for durability, SD cards will not last AS long as their SSD counterparts. That being said, MLC will last MANY times long, emphasis on many, then its TLC. If you don't understand the difference let me know becuase it makes no sense for me to say all these things and for you to not understand it. Not only is the speed of read/write in both sequencial and random superior, its life is MASSIVELY greater. Now if you will notice the difference, that again falls to how you use it. I have killed several SanDisk Ultra cards but I like Samsung flash memory (I have their 512GB 840 Pro SSD) as I know they are reliable. But same could be said about SanDisk. Some live by that brand so I'm just on the part of these 2 things:
How do you plan on using the microSD?
What size do you need?
What brand do you like more?

Thanks. I do know the difference between TLC & MLC and like I say, I don't think my usage in a phone (fairly static memory use: storage of videos & music primarily, not much in terms of pictures taken with the camera, I'm not rooting so no apps on it) calls for the need in speed or durability. On the other hand, I do need/use that speed in my GoPro Hero4 so there I spare on cost. Like I said, my question was driven more from a curiosity perspective - why are people springing for the more expensive media for use in a smartphone? And more to the point, can the Note 4 really take advantage of that speed? That last question is one I haven't really seen a documented answer on.
Well, seeing as you state that the type of writes will be the general stuff (ie., photos, music, and videos) without running stuff off of the SD, I can safely say that the EVO should be just fine. While testing on benchmarks, I noticed the Note 4 does get better writes and reads with the PRO so the speed is there. But is it completely utilized, I would be inclined to say "no" on that. For the people who have buckets of money, I guess you could buy it but eh. I presume the reason people buy the more expensive is because they assume the higher cost warrants much higher quality and speeds. However, I'm more concerned with the brand and type of flash storage used more than anything. 4K recording is perfectly fine on the EVO and the difference is speed may or may not be noticeable. I bought both because I wanted the MLC flash and wanted to have one just to have one. Later I decided that I rather have more storage over that crazy read speed. As it is from Samsung, their flash memory is EXTREMELY reliable. I haven't had problems yet with any of my 3 flash storage items (840 Pro, PRO microSD, EVO microSD).
Are you using the Samsung 128GB EVO card, then? I was looking at that one myself and that's what got me looking more closely at the "real-world" differences between the EVO and PRO. I've actually been a user of multitudes of SanDisk cards for many years - many kinds in a variety of devices - and have never had a problem but I may go with Samsung on this one. And thanks for many replies.
I use a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS Memory Card. Haven't had any problems with it.

Ya I have the 128GB EVO in my Note 4 right now. I love it. It encode all my movies through handbrake and find that I use up large amounts of space, aside from the FLAQs that I have stored as well. Really, I really doubt you will notice a massive difference in most cases. Video playback, music indexing, 4K recording, and photography should be just fine with the EVO. 4K at 30FPS is still not enough to warrant, in my opinion, an upgrade to the PRO version. It does help to get the PRO but I truly doubt you will need it for much of anything. Samsung is one of the top manufacturers for flash memory.
In the end, its really up to you. I doubt that you will notice the difference in overall speed, if any, between the two versions. If you do, it will be possibly a couple of seconds or something and nothing atrocious like minutes. I'm glad I could help. I'm always on the forums since I started modding my S3. I was just too lazy to make an account and post stuff.

Could be risky as it has red flags - significantly lower price coupled with high performance, only 1 review, and a Google search on CoolEStore doesn't turn up much useful info. You're better off sticking with a known brand like SanDisk, Samsung, Lexar. Also, search on Amazon for other products from CoolEStore - a mix of the odd & cheap.
I currently have a 64 GB S6, and I'm thinking of upgrading to a 32 GB S7 with an 128 GB SD card. (I can upgrade through work and sell my S6, so I'll even come out ahead.)
I know that access to the 128 GB SD card is slower than to internal storage, but how much exactly? Would that affect my user experience at all? Would I notice if files are read from, or written to, the SD card on the S7 compared to the internal storage on my current S6?
Any recommendations for specific SD card to put in the S7?
Thanks!

Fastest card you can get would be the Samsung Pro Plus.
And they're priced accordingly, too: $150 for 95 Mb/x, 128 GB on Amazon. Would an 80 Mb/s EVO+ (at about $60 less than half) make a lot of difference in user experience?
(By the way, I'm not a gamer at all, so I doubt I'll have games or other very large apps on the SD card, just media such as photos, music, etc.)

(By the way, I'm not a gamer at all, so I doubt I'll have games or other very large apps on the SD card, just media such as photos, music, etc.)

I paid $93 for the 128GB Pro Plus direct from Samsung. I'd say at that price its better to skip the Evo altogether. As for speed the Evo will probably do what you want. I was using a Toshiba class 10 for the past year and a half and had zero speed issues but wanted to jump to the Pro Plus for the extra capacity and to have the speed for HD recording.
I use the Sandisk 128GB 80MB/s without any problem at all, came from S6 64GB, have not noticed any major difference, it works good enough.

@[email protected], since you already did what I'm considering doing, how's the upgrade from S6 to S7 been for you? Are you liking it? Something you'd recommend? How's the S7 camera holding up compared to the S6? (I know the reviews are generally very favorable, but it's always good to get the opinion of someone who's actually made the jump.)

hmm, for me I really wanted IP68 and microSD, so it was worth the upgrade, bu also the better battery life and better camera, I love the instant focus... so I would say it was worth the jump, but bare in mind I do get my phone through work so I don't pay for them.
Paid 39$ at best buy on a price match for a 64gb pro plus Samsung
More than read speed for specs on a card.
