When I install an app, does it install to the Nook Tablet user memory, B&N only memory, or SD card?
I have only a 4GB microSD card, and I'm wondering if should upgrade.
Thanks!

a 4GB card isn't bad in my opinion... i currently have 1 gb card that still hasn't filled up, but I plan on maxing mine out at 32gb once I have the money too.
as far as installations go, it just depends on the app. some apps go for the memory card without you realizing it, you can usually view them under manage applications to get an idea of what apps are being installed where.
hopefully that answers some of your questions!

Amazon had some good sales on 16GB for $15 and 32GB for $32 the other day.
I don't think you will fill up a 32GB with Apps, but if you have a lot of music and videos, it comes in really handy...
its hard not to just get the 32 gig one cuz prices are super nice right now..i got my 32 gig class 4 sandisk on amazon for 27.99
Since I have many Gameloft games installed, having the SD card is nice, because now like 10GB is taken up by the data from their games.
Is there a certain class I should get?
@fr3dw0rth,, class 4 should do.. currently my sdcard is only class 4.
I got a 16 GB class 4 Sandisk card at Staples for $25. (Normal price was $30, but they matched Microcenter's price of $25; I simply showed them a web page printout from Microcenter.)
Card is a pain to install. Whoever designed that on the Nook must have had incredibly tiny fingers.
screw that noise (no offense), you can get a 32 gig class 4 sandisk for like 30 bucks on amazon. Just get it over with and get the biggest one.
Oh and I have always heard class 4 or 6 are the best ones

Wondering, I have a class 10 16GB that I picked up for like $15 should I return it for a class 4 or 6? they are about the same price $15...
ya i'm just going to get the 32gb off of amazon. i mean if you think about it, most ipod touches are 32gb these days and that seems plenty for apps, music, and videos...
there's plenty of class 4's, but i'm not seeing any class 6's? can someone link one if they see any on amazon? i have some gift cards saved up i'd like to use...
Buy a 16GB or 32GB class 10 for your lust of speed and storage. I did
Check newegg.com
You can get a class 10 32gb for super cheap.

WinTek cards from Frys are cheap & work very well. Sometimes you can find Patriot 32GB Class 10 for 80ish if you're willing to spend a little more at Frys also.
I'm currently using the Transcend 8GB class 6 in all of my devices, speeds are pretty good so far - they are around $15-20 including a SD adapter.

Wow! You are correct, sir. Major brain fart on my part. Hadn't hit the confirm order button so was able to save myself the headache.
I am currently using the Wintec 16gb class 10 and they are fine. Speeds are way above 10mb per second write. I get up to 12 mb per sec write and 17mb per sec read.
Polaroid 16GB from Fry's is $17.99 this week after rebate. Bad news is mine just died today in my N1 (error check fails / can't format). Good news is that it's lasted in my daily driver phones for the last two years. Considering I used it for swap while I had a G1 I'm surprised it didn't die sooner. Not a bad deal if you regularly backup your SD.

Patriot Signature 16 GB Class 10 MicroSDHC Flash Memory Card
Its definitely a class-10, the videos and pictures play and save pretty quickly compared to the stock card that came with the htc evo.
Can someone recommend a good (aka fast) 32GB micro sd card? I'm not concerned with cost. I'd rather just spend the money up front than worry about whether or not the card is too slow. Also, is there a nice comparison chart of 32GB cards with read/write speeds of various class cards?
Thx
EDIT: Well, I'm a bit confused. Which SD format does the tablet actually support? SD or SDHC? I would like to get the largest, fastest card.
MicroSDHC should work just fine.

I have 2 kingston 32gb micro SD card i purchased in advance for my EVO 3D and my Xoom. I put it in my 3D and it detected and mounted the card. i then plugged the 3D into my computer as a drive and copied over photos, music, and a couple of movies. I unplug the phone from the computer, and EVERYTHING disappeared. I formatted the card, did it again, and ran scan disk and defrag before i unmounted from my computer. same effect. Anyone else experiencing this?
No problems with my PNY 32 gb. I have never formatted the card either, but maybe try formatting the card from within the phone's menu, or you got bum cards.

Yes, this Kingston class 10 was going to replace my Sandisk 32 class 2 (which did class 6 speed). Now, I just might return it.
Lots of disparity between claimed and actual performance with these cards in either direction. My guess is it isn't worth the cost to test on the production line, they just write off the occasional RMA.

So yeah, this is a fake. What happens is the fake SD Card maker runs dd on a very small SD Card so that it gets up to the size. If you configure dd you can make it loop over the drive so you can set the drive's size pretty easily. You end up with a card that will basically only hold a small amount of data but looks like it can handle much more.

That's the one I ordered, which should come today. Not really going to help this guy out since the card is out of stock.
It was back in stock on Monday, on Tuesday I looked and it was sold out.
On a lot of these 32GB Class 10 microsdhc cards - I read a lot of mixed reviews citing general Android incompatibility? I've read a lot of comments calling it an "industry wide" compatibility issue with Android. Has anyone had problems with a class 10 card - knowing that it came from a reputable source?
That's honestly the one thing that's kept me from pulling the trigger on a 32GB class 10 card. I wanted to hear that people were successfully using these types of cards in an EVO 3D with speed critical applications like recording and viewing HD video.
Good to know that certain cards are having issues.
No problems with the SanDisk 32gb card I bought from amazon 3 months ago other than the price dropped $30 immediately after I bought it.
Swyped from my Atari 2600 3D
I was thinking about getting the Patriot Memor LX microSD 32GB Class 10.
Reviews are mixed but it has their, what seems to be covered by their horrible Customer Service for 5 years. Patriot does make good computer memory so I can only hope it will be good.
I just bought a 32gb class 10 PNY card today from Best Buy and its not recognized by my 3D or my wives G2.
Hey what do you guys think? I can get a either a 16GB Class 10, or a 32GB class 4 for the same price. Does a class 10 really make much difference on a phone? If this was for my DSLR Camera it'd be different. So just curious what everyone's thoughts are. Thanks In Advance!
P.S. The Price is $60. However I work at Best Buy and know i get a discount im just not sure what it is yet...
I was wondering the same thing?
I would think the class 4 32gb would be fine with the Evo 3D, but i could be wrong
What brands? Not all brands are the same.
I just purchased a Sandisk 32GB class 4. I mainly use my storage for music/pics.
I use a Sandisk 32gb class 2 I believe, it may be a class 4. Used it in my Evo4G and now my 3D. I run most of my apps and games off of it, never had an issue. Never any lag, just as fast as a class 6 I used by some off brand. Sandisk is known for having speeds faster then what they are rated, alot of no-name brands are just the opposite though.

Kingston 16GB class 10 for about $55
Kingston 32GB Class 4 for about $50
PNY 16GB Class 10 for about $30
16GB Class 4
I just went through this same thing.... The card that came with the phone was class 4. I downloaded SD Tools from the market and did a speed test. My goal was to ensure that whatever card I got had at least the same read/write speeds as the stock card.
Out of 3 tests on the stock class 4 card the highest results were 7.0MB/s write and 16.9MB/s read.
I went to Frys and bought a 16GB class 4 card (I think it is WINTEC, but will double check) for $19.99. Figured I could return it if the speeds weren't up to par.
Out of 3 tests with this class 4 card, all came back with 11.0MB/s write and 19.2MB/s read.
I decided to go with 16GB first to see if I would really fill it up. Sure, I would love 32GB of storage but when do I really need ALL my music on my phone at one time and how many movies do I really need on hand? I figure I will still use my PC as the ultimate storage device and then sync down about 4GB of music and maybe 3-4 movies at a time... still leaving room for some camera pics. If I find I am running out of space I will then upgrade to a 32GB card.
Hope this helps!

I got a Sandisk 32GB Class 4 from Amazon. Works fine.
In my opinion, unless you are doing a lot of writing to the SD, the write speed (as reflected in the class number) is not that important.
I heard a lot of reports saying the 32gb is a problem 32gb just doesn't play well with this phone (Droid X2). The 16gb is the sweet spot I believe.
Picked up the PNY 16gb Class 10 at Amazon before Christmas for $19.99.All the playback problem's, skipping, speed have all gone this card has been flawless.

Sent from your Girlfriends Droid X2 on Cyanogen 7!
All of the chips inside the cards are all made by Samsung, so its really a matter of how you treat your cards and the speed you want. For light use like music and photos, you won't notice the difference between class 6 and 10, if you often copy large video files or massive file syncs, then go for 10
Now I can't decide if I want a 16gb or 32gb. I don't want my card to lose pictures.
Anyone ever heard of these? Meritline has a 32 GB Class 4 for only $30 with free shipping. I don't really need one right now, but the price is almost too cheap to ignore.

I think the price is decent. You can get a sandisk 32gb for just a little more. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&sku=752149&is=REG&A=details&Q=
Im not saying Sandisk is better but just that the $30 price shouldnt be the reason you jump on this. Now if it was a class 10 card for $30 then I would be all over it.
If it was me and I didnt quite need 32gb card yet, i would wait for prices to drop even further then grab a higher class microsd card. (class 6 or class 10). Hope this helps

Thats Where im at. I have a 8gb class 10 card. and while extra storage would definetly be great i am realistically only filling 5gb if i take all my nandroid backups off my sd card.
So all wait till at least boxing day and see what kind of deals i can find. I would love to be able to put my entire 10gb music library on my phone. so ill be looking for a 16gb or 32gb class 10 card.
Anybody thats looking for a new sd card. I really encourage getting a higher class card. it makes all the difference in the world to how your device runs.
