which class of sd card works without problem on p500?? - Optimus One, P500, V General

my newly bought 8gb class 4 sd card keeps un mounting so I wish to upgrade it to 16gb card.
so I want to know whether class 2 card will work properly or will I have to get class 6

Class 6 would be the better and costlier option obviously. I am using a class 4 16GB SanDisk card and havent faced any sd unmount issues till now. try using a different rom. i heard it mentioned somewhere that some rom's precipitate more sd unmount issues than others.

The class ratings for memory cards are like mpg ratings for cars. They are a measure of the card's read/write capabilities. The class rating doesn't tell you if you are driving a Mercedes or a Kia. Cheap cards with high class rating have high rates of failure and corruption. All classes of cards can work with your phone. Get a card with good reviews. Beyond a minimum class rating, you are wasting your money. My class 4 Kingston card has higher read/write speeds than my class 10 a-data.

I have san disk class4 8gb card and it keeps unmounting.
this cars is made in china.
I have another 4gb class 2 card of transcend and it does not unmount at all. this one is made in korea.

Transcend 8gb class 6 never unmounted once.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App

I am unable to find a class 6 card. all that is available is class 2 and class 4

I have a 8GB Class 4 card from Verbatim. It works flawlessly bro.

I have 8GB class 4 card and i had unmounts in stock 2.0 ROM and also in void rom. But now i am on Gyanogen 7 beta6 and no more Also A LOT faster.

Well I'm using 16g class6 from a small brand in Taiwan.But it works very well, with speed r11 w8.
I know it's not that fast, but very stable.

I guess unmounts depend on the ROM, whether you're using Apps2SD and the class. I had unmounts on void with Apps2SD. Quite stable with Cyanogen so far. Class 2.
Will upgrade it to a Sandisk 8gb class 4 soon. Sounds like a safe bet.

so you recon I upgrade my firmware to 2.2.2 from 2.2?

Target.... bestbuy... wally-world.... I got my sdcard from bestbuy just the cheepest 16g I could find... I have 3 partitions on it one being a 2gig ext4. Works flawlessly.
sent from my oc'd pos LG P500 running:
Void @ 787mhz
Quad - 585
Linpack - MFLOPS 8.281 / Time 10.12 seconds

I got a 16gig class 4 and it works fine

I try two Sandisk class-2 4GB and one Kingston class-4 8GB. All have problem daily. Eventually I settled on Transcend class-4 4GB. It not perfect (once a month maybe, I lost track), but doesn't both me anymore.

I thought there was a problem with class 4 cards, now I dont know which card works.

I don't think 2.2.2 solves the unmount problem. Try a cyanogen mod beta without apps2sd. beta 5 has been stable for me. I hope this will be fixed when the official gingerbread comes out. Create a nandroid and titanium backup just in case. the unmounts were the worst for me with stock lg.

I bought a Sandisk 4GB class 4 card and still had unmounts and freezes. Now my P500 is in repair service...

I had an A-Data 8GB Class 4 .. it was a disaster... multiple errors and reboots on installing program... very very slow. on all Froyo ROMs it was the same. but only on Cyanogen ROM it works without errors and reboots. also the boot process on Cyanogen beta5 takes about 3 minutes that i think it was because of that...
PS. I changed my Memory card today to a 8GB Patriot Class 4... I am testing it right now
PPS. Until now the new microSD works like a charm... no problem at all... it is so much faster and better than A-Data

doesn't divx videos stop working if you install custom rom? I use this phone only for four purposes,
reading books
internet
music
movies
I have a psp for games and another phone for phone and messaging etc
I dont have a computer though, so can't flash either.

I received my phone from LG repair service this week. They told me that they found nothing wrong, so they didn't do anything to the phone. Today my phone had again the "sd removed unexpectedly" message. It will probably have freezes again in a couple of weeks. These guys at LG service are useless. As my phone still has 10 months guarantee remaining, I will send my phone to repair service as many times as neccesary until they give me an acceptable answer or solution.
It's incredible LG doesn't have an official fix for this. Trying a different SD card is not a solution, since the SD provided should work, another SD is not guaranteed to work, and otherwise faultless SD cards are not working properly in this phone.

MicroSD Cards - Plus / High Speed?

Hi guys,
bit out of touch with the MicroSD card market these days.
was wondering if someone could offer me advice.
planning to get a 8GB+ SD card for music, picture and tom tom.
which card would you recommend?
i have my eyes on this one and was wondering if the 'plus' really makes a difference

I have a Transend 8gb class 6 which has been working great for me for Tom tom etc.
I guess anything like Sandisc, Transend or kingston as long as it is class 4 or above would work fine.
I dont know about Samsung as i only saw them recently, but i checked out the one you linked and it looks good, Class 6 and waterproof! LOl what more could you want!!?
EDIT it looks like the Plus is the difference of class as they also sell a class 4 without the "plus"
Also..thanks for the link!

Yeah, I have the same transend card, and it's been working great since day one....but after seeing the one jasonchiu linked, I know what kind I'll be buying the next time I need a SDHC card!!
waterproof??? That IS pretty sweet! And that's not out of the price range of most other 8GB class-6 cards, so it sounds like a no-brainer to me!
like everyone else i was looking for the fastest largest and cheapest sdhc card
i settled on one that is the cheapest, 40 bucks for 16gb, sandisk brand.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001L1H0SC
its not that slow as its not like i am streaming hd video off the card to begin of, it is enough for picture and music and video.
only down side, when i have to copy the pictures off the card, it takes longer than my class 6 4gb card
i this economy i am happy with the 40 bucks 16gb deal
Try the A-DATA 16GB Micro SDHC Class 6.
Works great and much faster than my old Sandisk 8GB Class 2.

Aren't most memory cards pretty much unaffected by water anyway?
You can put them through the wash and, as long as they don't get broken, they'll be fine.
*Disclaimer: I accept no responsibility for any problems arising from putting memory cards in the wash!*
I'm a little confused. For lots of people here it seems to be important to have a CLASS 4 or CLASS 6 MicroSDHC Card. I am using a Sandisc 8GB Micro SDHC CLASS 2 card eversince for Tomtom, Music and Movies. The card is 90% full and I have never ever experienced any delay or problem of speed.
So, I'm just wondering, why so many people here would want to have a CLASS 4/6 card !?

Speed, my Tilt2 reads my A-DATA Micro SDHC Class 6 much faster than my Sandisk Class 2. While I did not use a stop watch to clock it but the extra speed is very apparent.
I am in the market for a new card ... currently on a sandisk 6gb class4 card I took away from my wife's blackberry. I need to get it back to her ... and right now I am lusting after that new 32gb from Sandisk. But at class2, I'm concerned about speed. I'm sure playing music and running apps wont be an issue, but how about vids? Is there a recommended speed for playing vids from a micro sdhc card?
Yes me too! I've been looking to upgrade my 8gig class 2 to a 16gb. I use it for TomTom, Garmin and some movies.
Well there be any benefit to how fast my Garmin & TomTom load on my phone with a class 6 over 2? I can get a class 2 on newegg for $40 but a cheap class 6 is $60. Is the $20+ more worth it for a class 6? I don't care about the speed it takes to transfer files, I just want my GPS apps to be more responsive loading maps.
My Sandisk Sansa Fuze went through a complete wash cycle by mistake. I popped out the MicroSD card and left it a few days and it worked just fine.
Just make sure anything that has got water on it is powered down by pulling the battery, don't use the power switch. Shut it off ASAP and pop it on the boiler, airing cupboard etc and leave for at least 24-48hrs. Don't be tempted to just give it a quick power up as that is when you fry the circuit board.

Well for some things, a higher class works a lot better. An example of that is how when trying to run anroid on my low class 1G card, it wouldn't even boot. It kept timing out. So yes, it does matter for some things.
just get a class 6 sdhc. its really faster in all belongings. which brand - i think anyone of the well known brands is ok.
when it is going over 8GB in size you dont have much a choose of brands because there a only very very few comapnys who have a large class 6 sdhc micro sdcard
I am getting ready to purchase this 32gb micro from ScanDisk. Has anyone confirmed that the HTC Rhodium/AT&T Tilt2 will work with this larger card??

am using class 6 works fine.
I use an 8Gb, class 4 without any issues. Resco is installed on the card.
Although if your going to flash a ROM from a micro SD card use one < 8Gb.
Thanks,
Al
From my experience, it's not the class or size that matters. It's the make. (Obviously a smaller card with a higher class will have faster r/w speeds, but that's not usually a noticeable issue.)
I never buy any SD cards now that are not SanDisk, and I can't remember the last time I had one that didn't work.
Some brands seem to get a lot of complaints.
The class wouldn't really matter if you're just using it to store data/apps.
I use a Nokia N900 and run Android off the SD card. A higher class gives a better speed when running an O/S off of one. But using one to store data/apps wouldn't give a noticable advantage of one class than another.
Obviously the size does matter but depends on what you'll use it for.
Plus for flashing use < 8Gb.
Thanks,
Al
PS. I agree with the brands. I don't buy cheap non-branded ones. Although I've never had an issue with any of the 'cheap' ones.
The size of the card depends on your needs. If you cram a lot of stuff in there or apps, then aim for 16gb or 32gb.
You can find 32gb on amazon from $70 up (sandisk, kingston, dane elec -- those are deem legit 32gb cards) and most of them should give real class 4 performance (even when they're listed as class 2 like sandisk).
For me I like San Disk,but I want to test Toshiba 16GB Class4.The seller told me that Toshiba quality is good also and I decided to buy it.
Never had any problem with file transfer and running android on SD card.
I've used it 4 months now.So far so good.
I use a kingston 8gb class 4.. Never had any issues with performance
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I'll probably run Android off the card initially with the standard WM 6.5 tweaked. Maybe put some SatNav on there too.
As for Apps depends what I come across. For WM I have an old large build of offline Wikipedia and some dictionaries etc.

I had my 8GB SanDisk in my G1 for 2 years, then my HD2 for about 8 months, then randomly one day it stopped working.
If I plugged it in, all of my content appeared on the phone such as pictures. Then after about 30 seconds it would freeze, and then the phone would say no SD card is inserted. I managed to copy all of my pictures across on the PC luckily before it froze.
Granted it was old - but they do fail after a while.

[Q] New SD card - making the change

Going from a 2 gig SD to an 8 gig SD..
Is it as simple enough that i just make a copy of ALL the stuff on the original SD and copy it to the new one?
/EDIT- is anyone running an 8 gig SD with no problems, i heard its gotta be a class 6 or ill get unmounting problems?
If you don't use an ext partition just copy and paste your files.

dont buy class 4 sd card of any size. class 4 cards dont work with optimus one. they will keep unmounting. any other class or size card will work. aka class 2,6,10
the class of the card is determined by the clad number depicted on the card itself. a class 2 card will have the digit 2 written inside a small circle. same way with all other classes.
higher class means faster operation and probably more cost.

Since I keep seeing vagueness wrt exactly what the class rating of an SDHC card means, I'll spell it out:
Class X: guarantees MINIMUM write through put of X MB/s period nothing more nothing less.
i.e. read speeds can be anything as they're not mentioned by spec, latency can be anything again as not mentioned by spec, etc.
In the pre-SDHC days the VERY best uSD cards were those made in Japan by Toshiba(only manufacturer of uSD cards in Japan, might be re-badged but made in Japan is the giveaway). They maintained good read/write throughput and relatively low latency even when full. (All of those numbers tended to decrease as a uSD card became more filled.)
Made in Taiwan were next up. Passable, but no where near as good as Japanese.
Made in China bottom of the heap. I'd really only recommend using them if you had no other choice. Or could get by with R/W throughputs and latencies that were relatively poor and got much worse as the card became filled.
Also note there DOES exist a fairly rare pre-SDHC 4GB uSD card. I've never seen one personally but I know that they exist. Most were 128MB - 2GB.
Not sure if this still applies with SDHC as the controller electronics were changed and the min. write throughput spec added (mostly for video recording!).
All of this said I've got a PNY class 4 4GB uSD card that I'll have to try. The card is badged as PNY so I'm not certain who the mfg actually is. I'll see if I can't dig it up later IF it actually works correctly. (Only bought some of these since a b&m store actually had them at a close to decent price of $10 and they were suitable for my other devices.)
OK :|
Mass confusion now, i dont use a custom rom, so i dont need a partion, sweet will just copy across, im using a class 4 card now and its working fine so not sure what class to get, i thought it was just a problem with this fone that happened to ALL classes.

I have a class 10 sd card, but its made in china and its very low quality.. The read and write speeds are totally unpredictable. Sometimes i get read speeds of 20Mbps, but other times, i get 2-3Mbps. It is these kind of low quality cards that you must avoid. Good quality Class 4s will not cause an unmount.
Eg: Sandisk Ultra (Class 4) are way faster than Transcend (class 4)
(From what i have seen personally)
One more thing, it was reported that Android 2.2.2 fixed the unmount problem. So, incase you experience unmounts, you can even try using a 2.2.2 ROM.
I have class 6 transcenfld and it's super fast. Around 11 mb write and 20 read.

I think if u can find a 8GB class 4 Patriot microSD card... just get it... i'm using it and no problem at all... stay away from A-Data or Kingston cards... most of people that having unmounting problems using these cards.
PS. this problem exists just in Froyo when u partition your card to install programs on SD. if u don't wanna use this feature... or if u wanna use Mik's Gingerbread... take any microSD you want. but if u wanna use this feature i think Patriot Card would be better.
I use a Sandisk 4 GB class 4 card and still have unmount problems.
simple copy past is not working if you are using app2sd.
if u copy and paste u will have to reinstall all the apps but the data will be ok try titanium backup (did not tested titanium, but fkd up everything when i tried with copy and paste )

PNY 32gb class10 SDHC, mounted once, and never again?

so I just bought this card cause I use lots of storage space pretty quickly, My question is wtf is going on here? it just sticks on "checking for errors" and never gets past it, it mounted up once and while I was dumping files on it over USB from my computer (in usb mass storage mode) both it and my internal storage just disappeared, the copy operation failed, so I restarted the phone and I have yet to get the phone to mount it since then.
I'm running eclipse 1.3rc2, is this because of the sd flip-flop, the size of the card or the fact that it's class 10?
the card works perfectly fine in my camera, and in multiple PCs, but as soon as I stick it in my X2, it just doesn't want to work.
I noticed the stock SD card has a "bootable" partition flag, whereas this one doesn't. maybe this is my problem?
also what filesystem should I use, I run linux on my PCs so I can do whatever I want with it.
what if I just delete its partition table, put it in the phone and then let the phone format it? I've reformatted it with my PC and no dice.

When I got the 8gb card and using now it was acting weird ...would copy files when in the phone. I formatted it using the phone and it has worked fine since.
Good luck.
I can't say it will work for u but it cured the problems I had at the time.
just make sure u format the right card since in eclipse its switched around and recognized as internal in menu.
well, It took exchanging it for a class 4, and now it seems perfectly fine.
so note to self (and others)
NO CLASS 10 CARDS IN DROID X2, IT DOESN'T FN WORK!

I don't think that is true...I thought I saw plenty of users say they use them.
Mine is class 6 and works just fine
Did u try formatting from in the phone while stock? Don't know if that would make a difference at all
I didn't read one single thread from someone successfully using a class 10 card without having issues, sometimes it took a few days/weeks, it only took me one mount/dismount cycle.
besides, the class 10 cards, while having a higher sustained transfer rate, their seek times and random access times are overall slower. basically these class 10 cards are ONLY good for digital video cameras and things that don't actually utilize a filesystem.
that or they're getting cheap chinese cards that are just remarked class 6 cards, the X2 can't read and write to a class 10 fast enough resulting in data corruption, period.
Yeah im not arguing
I understand what ur saying now
I can confirm class 6 being completely fine tho
I think the "issues" I had was the file size I was trying to transfer(4gb)
I don't think it's the class rating but the capacity. In my experience 32 gb cards just aren't as reliable as smaller-capacity ones. Perhaps it's a consequence of packing too many memory cells into such a small form factor, I don't know, but I've had three 32 gb micro-SD cards fail on me since the beginning of the year, whereas not a single 16 gb card has failed me yet.
I just dumped 4.8gb of crap on it, over usb and it took it like a champ, it's also significantly faster than the stock 8gb card in terms of mounting, remounting, scanning my media and even opening up fileexpert is faster.
class 6 i'm sure is fine, probably the best balance, but I can even take HD video straight to this card with no frame dropping or glitching. it's currently playing hd video on my hotel room TV right off the SD card w/ no issues (the stock 8gb couldn't do that)
Ha. Mine came wit a 2gb class 2 sdcard ...
Wait...now that I think about it.. I had bought a droid pro initially. It had a screen issue...I took it back and paid extra to get the x2. Then I told em I didn't wanna lose my pics/video I had taken and he switched the cards. So I guess he basically just kept the one I wax supposed to get instead of moving my data to the new one....prick...

32 GB Memory Card

Which is best 32GB memory card for Neo V..
n is the Phone fast with 32 GB card or getting Lagged??
i'm not getting any lag with my 8GB (class 4) card. 32GB will do good
Let me give you an advice.
To the best of my knowledge a 32 GB sd card will need more power to work which means it will draw more power.
Also it depends from whom are you gonna buy it?
Sandisk? (if it is sandisk then BUY IT)
Also at the store ask for its class.
Just something about classes.
A class 4 card IS always going to give you at least 4mb/s write speed.
Although this is not always true.. (i bough a Kingston class 4 16GB for 8.5 euro XD and it is working fine but it mostly runs with 3mb/s it is slow but it was the cheapest and bigger)
The higher the capacity of the sd the slower random read write speeds.
So if you are planing to move many apps on your sd i do not recommend anything class 10 like.
But if you mostly need it for gaming/music/movies then for CLASS 10
Oh and always but sd cards from the web they are way cheeper than from stores.
(my Kingston from a shop costs 16Euro -mostly like every card 1Gb=1euro)
Buy a card with a high speed class.
Take min. class 6 or class 10.
Buy a card from a well know manufacturer like kingston , San disk or Samsung.
I use a 16 gb Samsung class 10 and the write speed is fantastic. 12 mb/s.

A class 4 card IS always going to give you at least 4mb/s write speed.
Although this is not always true.. (i bough a Kingston class 4 16GB for 8.5 euro XD and it is working fine but it mostly runs with 3mb/s it is slow but it was the cheapest and bigger)
The higher the capacity of the sd the slower random read write speeds.
So if you are planing to move many apps on your sd i do not recommend anything class 10 like.
But if you mostly need it for gaming/music/movies then for CLASS 10
Oh and always but sd cards from the web they are way cheeper than from stores.
(my Kingston from a shop costs 16Euro -mostly like every card 1Gb=1euro)

The answe is yes and no.
What 32GB ?
A 32 gb class10 sandisk wont slow it down.
A 32GB CLASS 4 KINGSTON WILL SLOW IT DOWN
it depends on the cards class and company.
a kingston class 10 VS sandisk class 10
would lose sandisk creates very fast sd's
If you are willing to pay a lot of money then buy sandisk class 10
IT WILL BE EVEN FASTER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE.
It depends on everything!.
Also android doesnt use the full potentional of the sd card.
You will need to root your phone and use an sd booster app to unlock your cards MAX SPEEDS!
For 32gb class 10 is must. Otherwise video recording, playing HD videos etc will lag.
I use 8gb class 10.
toshiba 32gb class4 no lags so far
Exchange of files between the computer and the phone affects the importance of speed
Class 10 is a must. Im using imation 8gb card. Images and videos loads and saves faster cmpared to lower class.

I use this Samsung class10 32GB. http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/294822/samsung-microsdhc-32gb-class-10.html#tab:info
Previously used a transcend 16GB class4, the speed difference isn't that much, but you'll save a few minutes when making a CWM backup. (I went from 9 to 6 minutes).
But it was just €3 more than a class4 card, so worth the price.
My brother use Sandisk 32Gb class 4 for his MK16i (x.Pro)
Everything is working very well
