Hi Guys. I'm looking to purchase a micro SD card, 8GB or 16GB. Can my vibrant handle micro SDHC or just micro SD only. also what's the best and reliable brand?
I can pick up a patriot 16GB Class 4 or a ADATA 16GB class 6, both under 30 dollars. What do you guys think? any other brand or cheaper price?
For speed, get the Sandisk 8GB Class 6 card. Otherwise, I think just about any 16 GB card will do. I personally use the AData 16GB class 6 with no issues.
Go with the AData class 6
I did a speed test on the micro sd (look it up on my started threads), The Wintec 16gig class 10 is 32-42 bucks depending where you are (me in ca was 34.00) and it performed the closest to the class 10 specs of all we tested. It wrote 9-9.5 and read 11.5 -14
Good price and 95% honest claims...... ALL the other did not get close to their class 10 specs

what do you recommend?
I just bought an A-Data 4 GB class 6 from ebay. I have read A-Data are ok.
I'm currently using Transcend 8GB Class 6, no problems so far.
hmm, does anyone know if a-data is faster than transcend? I'm looking at 8gb class 6

Adata might be faster than transcend.
that's just sd though,
Since theres a lot of problems with SD cards (especially "Waiting for sd card" error), im starting this in order to help people as buy recommendation or whatever...
just post your experience with working and not working cards.
the more specific information about the name of ur card, the better.
and if you dont like the idea, just leave it alone
ill try to keep the first post up to date with all the cards...
Hint: the class of your SD is usually written on the card in a little circle

if we knew this thread wouldnt exist... or rather the problem would already be fixed.
I have moved this thread to Accessories as it has nothing to do with Android Development.

if u put it like this, almost no thread in the "android development" forum has anything to do with actual "android development"...
EMTEC MicroSD 2GB Class2 works!
I don't understand this thread any more.
If it was meant for "Which card should I use to boot Android?", then leave it in the right forum.
But now it is confusing, because the table isn't right anymore I think.
For example, like billnaat said, the Transcend microSDHC 8GB works with the Blackstone.
But is doesn't work for Android booting (waiting for SD-Card issue).

1st: ive created the thread TWICE and mods keep on moving it, so i will probably stop updating it, as this is not the point of the thread. there is nothing i can do
2nd: one user claimed that he experienced sd card trouble in relation to the flashed SPL, so if thats true, this may be the cause for one transcendent card working and another not working.
3rd: so long.
Thats sucks!
But for your second answer: The Transcedent Card was the standard card shipped with my phone So it should be weird if it doesn't work.
I want to know what class of micro Sd I will buy for my X10mini.
There are may advantages using a class 6 or class 10 micro sd for video?
Can anyone tell me what is the transfer rate supported by this smartphone?
I bought a cheap class 2 16gb card, and haven't had any problems with it - music and video plays fine.
Remember the class rating of a card is the minimum data rate, rather than the maximum - mine manages 6mb/s transfer rates.
X10 mini from Rogers
a 16gb micro sd card came with my X10, i'll receive my x10 mini from Rogers in few days, i wonder there's any micro sd card come with it?
Unless you're doing HD video, a class 2 card is fine. I bought an 8gb class 4 card for around $29 from a computer store. Don't go to somewhere like officeworks as you'll pay $35 for a class 2 card.

Ok, so if I find a class 4 at a good price well, otherwise a class 2 works well.
But what is the max. speed of data transfer (to SD supported) by the X10?
i got a 16gb on ebay class 3 or 4 for about £15 ( Around double in dollers) works just FINE
Finally I have the solution to the problem
Many thanks to everyone for the answers, and I can also give a contribution (to me and others ) because today a technical staff of Sonyericsson wrote me that the X10 supports a micro sd maximum class 4, every other class does not produce benefits in terms of speed, are supported but will not be used at their maximum speed.

Be careful with e-bay as chinese sellers sell hacked 8 and 16GB cards, which in reality are 1 gb card which report themselves as 8 or 16 (and are marked 8 or 16).
I have bought a Kingmax 8GB class10 on ebay and it's very very good !
My x10 mini pro came with a 2gb card, doesnt say wich class I assume its class 1 or 2 as most stock ones are, from what Ive heard android phones dont take advantage of anything above class 4 from the OS at least, but you can speed up music and file transfer by getting a class 10 and using ur pc card reader to fill it up faster =) wont give you any better performance for phone tho..
I have a extra Sandisk MicroSDHC (8 GB) card. Works fine.
Sold my standard 2gb one.
i have kingston sd class 4gb and i buy it for 9 EUR from store and is working normal
I've bought Kingston 4GB MicroSD and it wasn't working. Maybe it should be useful to make a thread of compatible SD's.

Be interesting to learn the maximum throughput. Meaning sequential may be capped at 4 MB/s, wonder how fast it performs doing random R/W.

Anyone tried PATRIOT 16GB Micro SDHC 2v1 Class 4?
i heared that there are some problems with sd cards class 4 on mini pro, but class 4 and 6 works perfect
Im using Kingmax 8GB class 4 card. working just fine..
I just bought a 16GB PNY Class 10 card from here: PNY 16GB
Cheap at £17.99 and seems to work really well. SD Tools says it is writing at 9.3MB/s. My previous Transend 8GB Class 6 wrote at 6.5MB/s. Seems quicker when using camera: ready to take next shot sooner
My new card!
I just got a Transcend 16GB Class 2 for around $25! Class 2 doesnt make that a difference. I have set 3072 kb as the card buffer in MIniCM6
I had problems with a Kingston 16gb sd. Replaced it with a Sandisk 16gb, works fine now.
Hello,
I want a new MicroSd HC Card for my Hero.
After doing some research on the internet, I am confused...
Some people say, that it is senseless to buy an expensive class 6 or 8 card for the phone, because it can not handle the extra speed a card with a higher class has.
Currently I own a Toshiba Class 6 8gb Card,
but this one has not enough space.
I thought about buying 16 or 32gb.
Do you have any recommends for me?
I have a class 4 16GB SDHC card for my Hero (it's a sandisk one for a reputable retailer, NOT eBay). when I perform speed tests on it, it says it is a class 2, which is the exact same class as the 8GB SD card it replaced.
Some class 4's can perform better than a class 6, it seems to be luck of the draw. Apparently the CLASS refers to the read speed I believe, Class 2 minimum 2MB/s. I've probably got that totally a*se about face...
I am told the hero can handle 32gb cards, only reason I bought a 16GB was because the Hero was replacing a 16GB iPhone 3GS. I've had no problems whatsoever with it. Another user (on the forum) has loads of issues with lag from his 16GB SDHC card. No reason whatsoever. Just seems to be hit and miss.
I WOULDN'T BUY A SD CARD FROM eBAY THOUGH!!!
I got a 16gb sdhc class 6 from adata - have been using it nearly from day one, can't say I noticed a change in performance from the 2gb card that came with the Hero.
Between this two microsd card,sandisk microsdhc class 4 32gb and kingston microsdhc class 10 32gb,which should i choose?
usage:1080p HD movie,gaming etc
Either or both or whatever is cheapest .
jje
I would rather go for sandisk, cos their rating is better than others. Their class 2 card outran class 6 lexar and class class 4 kingston by far

Before getting a 32gb MicroSD card, is the SGs2 compatible with that capacity? Just got the phone yesterday and I am in love.

Yes it is. In fact it'll take the new 64gb cards, though you need to reformat it as fat32 first.
