Does anyone know if one of these cards work with the HTC Tilt2?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...CH&Description=16gb+microsdhc+class+6&x=0&y=0
I'm using one in mine now. I bought it from newegg a few months ago, looks like the prices went up some. I paid $49 deilvered for mine with no adapters. Now they want $20 more for it.
It works great, I highly recomend Adata. I have a 8gb class 6 as well. Don't know if there's any price drops on the way but you may want to go the 8gb route for under $20 and wait and see.

Works for me on HTC Touch Pro 2. I would have said no problems at all, and generally I haven't - it works fine for daily use, however:-
I have had a curious problem where if the phone is fully chrged while turned off, it then wouldn't recognise the MicroSd until I took it out and accessed it from a PC first. Easy to avoid by taking the card out before charging, or charging whil the device is on.
I then had my first major problem yesterday. I took the card out to flash the new Energy ROM after backing up, but then putting the card back in post-flash it wouldn't recognise it - and neither would the PC. I had to reformat and restore all the data (painful for 16Gb!). I am now going to keep a full backup regularly..
Otherwise, fully recommended after 4-5 months use.

Yeah i use this in my Fuze then got a Tilt 2 and use it in that. Works great never had a problem with it.
Yeah it looks like the price did go up a little i bought mine for like 40 or 45 bucks like 4 or 5 months ago. Great deal still

Is yours a class 6 though?
I'm sure its a Class 6, I have the A-Data 16GB MicroSDHC Class 6 and it even work great on the Kaiser.
I bought one. Regret it. I cannot flash ROMS off it as it isnt recognized by my device until its booted. I have to use a different card when flashing roms which is a real pain.

Bump,
I regret it as well. I however am a total moran. I Bought the same class 6 8gb adata for my kaiser. I could not flash from the card then. I cannot flash NOW. Spent like 50 bucks. So Pissed. What a waste!
Do not recommend this card.
I have bought adata products in the past and haven't had the best of luck with them. Their reliability seems suspect. I was going to buy two of their full-sized SD cards for our camcorder from NewEgg a couple of months ago, but the reviews seemed to indicate an unusual amount of problems despite the overall high rating. Enough that I wasn't willing to take the chance. I would look for another brand.
One of these perhaps:
RiData (Ritek) class 6. I've had good luck with them in the past.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820183245
The OCZ is probably good too, but it's out of stock at the moment. Same thing for the Transcend.
Works fine in the T-Mo TP2. I never tried flashing from the sd card so I dont know how that works but for everything else (games, music, movies, etc..) it works flawlessly.
Got mine from Amazon. Hassle free packaging + next day air = $50 when I got it.
Any word on a 32gb micro yet?
I have this card as well and the only issue I have is that the card goes to sleep when the screen turns off. This generally just means I can not listen to MP3's from the storage card while I have the screen off. I would not purchase an A-Data card again.
I'll be looking at getting a new card soon.

Ok, this is something I know a lot of people are possibly concerned about. I seen it noted in other threads but never really discussed completely. I've been doing some research about class 6 and class 10 Micro SD cards. Now the prices really aren't that bad anymore for the micro SD cards. I was really surprised to see a Kingston 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 for $109 on Newegg.com but I was not searching for prices rather searching for reviews from people who have used them. I don't care about what (1) person says, but of what (X) people have to say about a product to reduce the bias content. I am a fan on SanDisk and they claim a 15Mb/s read spead Micro SD card called the Mobil Ultra and is priced at $83.93 at Amazon.com
Through my research of it I found a review someone did of the 4GB model.
Before I go further checking other products though, I would like to know what the read/write speeds of the EVO 3D are and if that's not available then just the read/write of a phone with equal quality.
I just got a 16GB class 4 Sandisk from Walmart last week for $30, so I would say that you should not pay $84 for the same thing.
Edit: Just looked into it a little bit more and they claim faster sequential R/W speeds on the Mobile Ultra, I benchmarked mine and don't remember the exact numbers since I was more interested in the random R/W speeds. Either way it seems like a hefty price to pay for what seems to be an ~50% increase in speed.
Last night I picked up a Patriot 32GB Class 10 card from Frys for 84.00.
Is patriot any good? Im a little weary of going to brands I don't know. Also I read bad things about class 10 SD cards failing a lot.
Also in the review, maybe I should have posted the benchmark scores for people that didn't want to click the link.
"Testing showed that the Mobile Ultra microSDHC card offers more than adequate read and write data transfer speeds. Read speeds averaged 20MB/sec. and write speeds averaged 14MB/sec. This is significantly faster than a typical microSDHC card, and is a big jump in performance over a microSD card as well."
So I like those speeds. He used about 500MB of MP3 files for the tests.
Also the MicroSD cards used to cost like $100 for a class 2-4 16GB a few years ago. To me the increase of speed is worth it if the phone can use it. May allow for faster loading of games and apps saved on the SD card. I don't exactly know which is my reason for opening the thread and I'm sure others would like to know as well.
I had a Patriot 16GB class 10 that I replaced with the Sandisk. I had been trying to run a ROM off it for my Nook and kept getting FC's. If you only need it to do things like play music it will be fine, but I wouldn't be installing apps to SD if I were using that.
I've never even heard of patriot. I would definitely stick with known brands. Especially if your buying an expensive ass class10
R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d
Patriot is some of the best memory out for RAM, I would assume they keep their standards up for cards too.
I just bought a 32Gb class 10 SanDisk Extreme III at Amazon last night for 89.95.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004P1V8TM
I bought a PNY 32GB class 10 for 60 bucks in New Egg. Its showing out of stock now tho. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178381
I've bought PNY memory (flash drives, SCHC cards, etc) before and they've been good to me so far.

You're going to have to figure out how to chop that down to fit it into your phone. It's a regular SD card.

It's amazon either refuse the shipment or ship do an rma to ship it back. Since it's your fault they'll charge you shipping or you can ship it your own way back to them. If you refuse shipment they'll simply refund your total amount when they get it back. Cancelling payment isn't the right thing to do in this case, plus they can get it overturned with the cc company if their delivery shows it was received.

Patriot is a well known brand.
I'm running a Patriot 32GB Class 10 that I got at Fry's for 73 after price match. Got three of those working fast and flawless. Had other Patriot in the past. Never a problem and ran faster than what they were rated at.

Wish I could post an image from my work computer... I can't post from my Evo since you can't open a window inside a window inside a browser... I just ran SD tools on my Evo with the Patriot 32GB C10 card. Slowest of three runs was 16.5MB/s Write and 19.6MB/s read.

It's called anecdotal evidence. You have given some and so have I. If you are refering to the compatibility list? Ok. Glad this is a thread for HTC which has excellent compatibility with this brand. It works great in the Xoom I had for a week. Works great in my Evo 4g. Worked great in my GF's Hero until she begged me for a Nexus4g... I have yet to have a patriot work near or less than rated speed. Always much better than rated. Sorry you have had a bad experience.
Will this work with our Photons?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lexar-32GB-...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1318161717&sr=1-1
The price isn't half bad plus it has free shipping. Also, class 10.
Interested if anyone's using one in their photons or anything similar (32gb class 10).
I have a class 6 16GB in mine. WOrks decently. From what I recall the higher the class the quicker it will work, etc etc. And I think for the most part an SD card is an SD card, so if the price is right, and you NEED that much room, get it.
yup. as long as card is genuine it should work.
Thanks guys. That's what I needed to hear!
and yes I do need that much space ^^

lexar has good quality products.
when you buy plz share your experience.
Haha. Cool Man. Let us know how it goes.

Be very carefully when buying these types of items from amazon.
I wanted a 32gb SD card also. Did a lot of web searching for the best price. Found a sandisk 32gb on amazon for about 30 bucks. I jumped all over it. When they arrrived 2 weeks later from China, it was pretty obvious that they were knock offs. The printed label on the card was missing the class information, and the SD adaptor that came with it had a label that was poorly placed. When I inserted the card, it showed the correct amount of memory, 27gb or thereabouts. But problems appeared when actually using the card. Music synced from comp would appear while still connected to comp, but would dissappear completely when disconnected, or appear, but have a 0 byte file size. When i took pictures, they would appear as green blocks when viewed with gallery.
Just make sure your buying from a reputable dealer.
Also, not sure of your location, but current exchange says that item is $65 US. I bought a 32gb, class 10 from best buy for the same price. So its not that good of a price. Though I can't seem to find one right now, they come and go.
the seller in the devilshadow'S link is amazon itself.
Further, Sandisk,Kingston and memorette has too many fakes.
Have not heard fake card of Lexar or PNY.

I'm in europe so the price is about 50ish Euros for me for the card I linked. Also, i am fully aware of the massive knockoff market when it comes to SD cards. It's part of the reason I chose amazon over Ebay. I've also made sure to check if the SD card i bought has the "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk" status. The user reviews also guarantee it's genuine.
I bought mine straight from Lexar when they were first released. Ran it in the Evo and now in my Photon.
My first one started exhibiting corruption and eventually died (a few months before I got the Photon). Lexar replaced it with minimal hassle and it's been good to go since.

Lost my 16gb Card!!!
I have a missing 16gb that I was using, I lost it when I removed it to unlock my bootloader as a precaution.
Looking to get a 32gb card!!!
OK, I will say this one more time. #1, Not all cards are alike. I have a class 2 32Gb SanDisk that has treated me well, on Fuze, Evo, and Photon. I got a class 6 32Gb knock-off for the speed BUT, after we ran the test, my SanDisk blew it away by over 50% speed wise.
Next, I noticed by playing with others phones (Hey, I like to play with phones?), depending on what your doing, is different. For example, playing music or playing a game. Games, I found, need higher I/O than music.
I just bought a 32gb lexar class 10 for $60 at best buy. Im in canada right now. Future shop had a sale, they were sold out. I printed it out and best buy gave me the same deal. My advice is becareful online, there are lots fake cards. Look for sales from a reputable retailer.

Will our Photon support one of the new 64GB cards like this one?
http://amzn.com/B005VFG0B2
According to our phone's specifications, that is a firm "No".
Do NOT waste your money buying one, unless you have another device that can support it. It will not work on the Motorola Photon 4G, or the Motorola Electrify.
As far as I know the new Samsung Galaxy Note is the only phone out that supports that card.

How much more does the sdxc part cost vs the sdhc? I think we'll be good on the sdxc spec for a while, the size limit is 2TB.
So I got a Samsung 32GB class 10 MicroSD card off eBay for my soon to ship AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 and I ran some tests on it and got some weird results and I'm wondering if I got an el-fako. It was a bulk packaged one (ie just in an adapter case holder).
I ran h2testw and got results lower than I was expecting (like 15 read/6 write) but that didn't bother me too much. But then I tried to run CrystalDiskMark; I didn't realize that selecting 5 made it run the tests 5 times and it was taking forever, so I left it running when I went to bed. When I woke up it was frozen on Random Write 4KB (QD=32) [1/5] hitting stop did nothing and I couldn't close the program or even end the process in task manager. When I went into the disk in my windows explorer it froze windows explorer and then I couldn't do anything really involving the SD card. I even had to cold power down the system since attempting to shut down within the OS did nothing.
Now today running CrystalDiskMark it ran the first 7 tests fairly quickly on 1 iteration and then it's again stuck on the last test Random Write 4KB (QD=32) [1/1]. Or at least it's been doing that test for like a half hour with no change and as mentioned overnight it didn't get past it so I doubt waiting will do anything for me. A screenshot of the results so far are attached.
Now having said that, I am using the built-in 7in1 card reader in a 4 year old dell Vostro 1700 so it wouldn't surprise me if the reader couldn't handle the top speeds of the card or even if it freezing up was the fault of the reader but I am concerned. Anyone have any thoughts?
Ebay fake Samsung SD cards
I had the same issue. 15 R/ 6 W, when class 10 clearly should be constant speeds of 24 Read and 13 Write. Brought from ebay seller moe_122 for £19.99 32GB Class 10 Samsung Micro SD.
I tried this both on my laptop card reader and my PC, using both the SD card adapter and a standalone USB Micro SD card reader.
I then checked out images of some available from Amazon and they are clearly different. Genuine mSD shown on Amazon had writing on back, whereas the one I'd received was blank.
I have today, emailed them requesting a replacement, they instead offered a full refund. the only thing is now I have the S3 but no micro SD card, and I have to post it back to them. They tried to say that I was liable for return postage but I was not having it. In the end I just escalated to ebay resolution center and they begrudging agreed to refunding me the postage.
I just brought one from amazon for £19.99 with free super saver delivery.
Thank me if you found this useful.
This is why you never buy Sd-Cards from ebay!!
Try Amazon, I'd recommend Sandisk also

Yeah mine has writing on the back and it matches every picture I've seen so far. I know that doesn't really indicate anything re: fake/bad but it's at least not an obvious fake.
This will be my first time ever having an issue with an eBay purchase if it is one and the buyer has 99.99% positive on like 80k deals so I'm sure worst case I get a replacement or a refund. I'm not too worried about it; it's just annoying if in fact it is a bad card/fake. I would have bought from Amazon but at the time I ordered they didn't have any good deals and the eBay price was like $10-$15 cheaper. Of course since then there have been a couple deals at the same or better pricing. If it turns out this one is going back I'll probably try and be patient and pick up a 64gb sandisk if they drop to ~$50-$60 again soon.
Hm...
Argh... as a noob i cannot yet post link to the photo of mSD card on amazon.
I too have had positive experiences with ebay so far, but when it comes to things like this, I guess it is better to go with a reputable seller like Amazon.
Go into your phone shop dealer and see what cards they sell there.

Hey Erikk, I am having the same exact problem as you, I am using the card reader in my new laptop and my card is benching much higher as it should be but when I am getting to the same test it gets frozen on Random Write 4KB (QD=32) [1/5] and nothing happens I can't end process, I have to cold power down like you as well. I know for a fact the microSD card I got is not a fake because I compared with other real samsung 32gb mircosd cards. I got mine at a MicroCenter. I don't know what to do at this point because the card is fantastic as far as speed is concerned it just gets stuck at that part...
Appreciate help from anyone that knows a possible solution, returning it may be the only option but I have a hard time believing the card it self is defective.
There are so many fake cards on eBay it's not even funny. I got burned once and will never buy there again. I'd rather pay a little more at my local store, at least then I have the peace of mind of being covered by consumer protection laws.

UPDATE: Booting into safe mode did the trick, I no longer get frozen on Random Write 4KB (QD=32) [1/5] ALSO my speeds seem to have improved some more as well. lol :victory: No defect with the card after all, just something was not working well with crystaldiskmark in the normal OS environment.
I just don't get why people spend £500 on the best phone available then go to Ebay to find the cheapest card they can possibly find.

If you want them cheap get them from ebay, but dont blame anyone if you get a fake one, you get what you pay for. It has been said many times, many ebay sellers sell fake micro sd.

Always get a good quality card reader, dont compare the cheap and nasty one's with a branded one, you won't get the same results.

Cos they just spent all their money on a $700 phone....
I went to eBay because it was cheap enough that I really didn't care if I got burned on a fake card (plus with all the paypal/ebay protections the burn would only be the annoyance of disputing the charge). I am now fairly certain it's not a bad or fake card; in the S3 antutu reads it with the correct speeds. I think it was just the 5 year old multi-card reader built into my laptop that was having issues.
So either way, I'm happy now with my card.
I'm normally very careful, but I made the mistake of buying some "Sandisk" SD cards from Ebay.
They looked absolutely perfect, the welded plastic packaging was flawless, yet sadly they turned out to be fake.
A typical scam is to reprogram and rebrand cheaper, smaller capacity, slower or otherwise low quality cards as pass them off as high quality brands.
Often everything seems OK until the card is part-used, when files start to corrupt. Of course, often by the time this becomes apparent, the seller has scarpered.
If the price looks too good to be true, it often really is too good to be true.
Well the seller I bought from has been an ebay member since 99, has 80k+ ratings and 99.9% positive feedback, so hopefully I won't have that happen. But yes SD cards are definitely one of the riskier items to buy off ebay.
Best tool to test SD for fakes is called H2testw. I have bought one fake on eBay, and seller also had 99% positive feedback. I guess people buy 32GB card and never get past the 1GB or 2GB by the time they leave the positive feedback. If you pass the real space everything will be corrupted. So you really never know until you try to get data out of the SD to use it. Try that tool and it will full the SD card and then read it back.

PS. I don't ever buy SD card from eBay anymore.

That sounds a really helpful tool, thanks!
I'm sure you are exactly right about the typical Ebay scam.
I watched one seller who had vast amounts of sales and great feedback.
They suddenly flooded the listings with vast numbers of "Kingston" brand cards at silly low prices.
Nothing happened for a while, then suddenly the bad feedback started to roll in on that supplier about corrupt data. Of course, all the cards had been sold. Seller vanished without trace.

Yeah my card passed H2testw. It just came back with speeds I thought were too low for what the card should have been capable of. With the tests I've run with the phone itself I think those slow tests were just indicative of the crap reader my ancient laptop has. So I guess I got lucky in the eBay crapshoot.

you don't need to give feedback in an instant, test it out first then decide.

you need a good quality external card reader to get upto standard results, kingston and sandisk has the fastest card reader on the market costing approximate USd 35 - USD 45.
card reader built into laptop does what it suppost to do, but at low speed.
Fake or Real
I have downloaded sd tools on my S3 and I'm getting results of 7.2 MB/s write speed, and, 17.6 MB/s read speed.
Is this fake or real?

Samsung 64gb micro sd $24.99

Has anyone found any Black Friday deals on 128GB microSD cards?
Haven't seen anything on 128gb cards, but I bought 64gb cards on Amazon for $19.99 each.
Picked up a 64GB PNY from Amazon to replace the second 64GB Sandisk card to develop "write-lock" / unformatable syndrom on me. So far definitely so good as the read / write speeds on this card are fantastic. I forget the speed stated in the description, but it was the reason that I chose that one over a Samsung EVO for pretty much the same price. Glad I did (so far)
I can't wait until 128GB cards fall into line with the prices of lower capacity cards (1 X 128GB < 2 X 64GB). Soon hopefully... haven't seen one cheaper than $100.
Drives that you can find great deals on however are the regular USB (2 or 3) connecter on one side and a micro USB connecter on the other. I've had a 32GB and a 64GB (the latter USB 3) for a while, but I just grabbed a 128GB for $40 :good: I freaking love these drives. There's not really a difference in price between there and regular USB 3 flash drives... why not get one that you can easily use in your phone as well as your PC sans any adapters, and as far as phone use goes: one of the fastest ways to transfer large files from PC to phone, perfect for media - particularly hi res video if you want to watch a movie or something on your phone, and the killer feature: can be mounted in TWRP! No more realizing I forgot to DL or whatever a file I want to flash mid-nandroid, long reboot rebuilding caches, reboot recovery again... just toss it on the drive and flash from or even nandroid to the drive! Crazy useful
I did pick up a samsung 32GB for 10.99 yesterday at bestbuy
I went with the Tiger Direct 64gb. I only trust Samsung cards as I've had headaches with other brands in the past.
Now until Tues Amazon has the 64GB EVO for $25.
Where did you find the 128gb?
Any tried the 128gb from Amazon for 20 bucks?

Thanks! It's definitely fake according to the reviews.
Yeah I always fall victim for the $20 "most of these cards work but not all of them". they're always a scam. If in doubt, read the feedback
Don't go down this dark alleyway!
You have a very expensive smart phone...
Put a brand name card you can trust!
You will thank me later! (Or now would be good)
"PEACE"

I ended up with one of these from ebay a year ago or so, you can spot it easily by the packaging (as if the price wasn't already a red flag) Sadly you probably won't realize it until after you've begun copying files to it! To be safe, I always format (FULL format, NOT quick-format!) my sd cards before use!
Stick to brands you've heard of (as @sloanster stated), and as others on the thread have, pay attention to the reviews :good:
With Christmas only a couple days away, I'm sure plenty of people will be hunting for microSD cards very soon (as am I) so if anyone comes across any sweet deals please share!
32
Actually total 32gb is enough for everything
I ended up buying two of this and so far no issues.. both has been formatted and read at 128gb each.. i did some testing and the result is pretty good comoare to my 64gb ultra sandisk..
200 GB
Would it work in a note 3?
http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-premium-edition/?capacity=200GB
Probably, if you could buy one. Don't see it listed for sale. Saw the 128gb for $80 though.
I'm betting it's only 192 gb.
200Gb http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...uan_200g_a4a_200gb_ultra_uhs_i_microsdxc.html OR 128Gb http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ..._sdsdqui_128g_a46_128gb_ultra_micro_sdxc.html I'll stick with 128GB
Shame it's Sandisk. After returning 4 faulty 64gb Sandisk cards to Amazon in the space of six months, I changed to a Samsung card and haven't had a single issue in over 12 months. I won't touch Sandisk again.
I need this for the GoPro on my dashboard... Getting a bit tired of having to wipe everything every 3 hours.

Interesting. I had completely the opposite experience. 4 Samsung cards broke over a timespan of 3 months, but the Sandisk cards I;ve been using in my phones and cameras for over a decade are still running perfectly.
Yes, should have mentioned pre-sale. For sandisk haters, I imagine others brands are forthcoming
Just to let everyone know, my Sandisk 128gb microsd died on me. I'm unable to erase or add anything to it or format it. I've tried everything available online to remedy the situation. It was a huge burn. My 64gb microsd is working fine though
warranty on sandisk?
isn't there a good warranty on sandisk?

I ended up ordering a Lexar from a reputable dude on Ebay. 128 gig. Nice card, it seems.

Yes. It's compatible.
The specs listed for any smartphone are created based on what is avaulable on the public market at the time the phone is announced. The listed specs are not updated, but the larger sized cards are fully compatible regardless.
Keep in mind that you will need to use .nomedia files to exclude all non-mediaplayer related folders from the indexing process(just copy one into each folder you wish to exclude), or the Media process is going to drain your battery flat within an hour.

nice to read 128 gb SD can fit my note, I will look for good prices around
wow that's too much for a phone... 2 or 3 ways away from 1TB SD card
Crazy storage
Just so everyone knows, the shortest SanDisk warranty is 5 years (some are warrantied for 10 years). If you have a bad card, don't contact the seller, contact SanDisk at http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/list/kw/microsd microsdhc/ (there's a live chat available). If you need an RMA to return the defective card, it's at http://kb.sandisk.com/app/rmaform/session/L3RpbWUvMTQyODI3NTgxOS9zaWQvSjlPcjM4am0= If you check the search box, though, you'll find that a lot of "bad" cards can be recovered pretty easily. (If it can be recognized by a computer, using a card reader, you can recover the data by running http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec on the card (instructions at http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step ).
I didn't try but max capacity of note 3 is 128 as I remember
I looked up micro sd limit for note 3, it said 64gb. So how is it possbile to get more?
