ok i went and got a new sdcard.. now is there anything i need to do to the new sdcaRD??? i dontr need anything from my old sdcard.. but there used to be battery history how do i get that on this sdcard??

I'm about to buy a new sdcard too. How do I go about transferring everything from the stock sdcard to the new one? I'm not rooted btw.
Also is Transcend a good brand?

Newegg ftw. Just DONT buy on ebay, there are a ton of fake cards on there.

Just get a 32GB Class 10 card for $40~ if you cant afford that, go with a 16GB Class 10.
I got this one and it works quite well:

Got it on sale for $37
Or a 16GB one:

Does a class 10 make a noticeable difference in speed?

On the phone itself, no. Only when transferring files to/from the card.

Id recommend using a card reader to do this.
First plug your phone into your pc and choose mount as disk. Then copy everything from you old sd to your PC. Then power off your device. Then remove your old sd. Then place.your new sd into your card reader. Then copy and paste everything from your old sd to your new sd. Now your phone should be still powered off so take the back off and pull the battery. Then remove the old sd and place the new one in. Then put the battery back in,place the back cover back on and boot up. Should be good to go. Hope this helps.

Best Buy or Microcenter might have some. But Online from any well known place is not only easier to find stuff, it is generally safer too these days.

Yes it does make a difference. When an app is installed to the SD card it helps the app load faster, makes it more response while running. Copying files to/from the card is faster too. ROMs that use part of the SD as a swap drive will be much faster, and ROMs that use part of the SD as extended space will be faster. Taking burst 1080p camera shots if your ROM and kernel support it will work MUCH better, playing a 1080p movie will be smooth as well.

Trancend 8GB Class 6 For $14.99

Newegg has Trancend 8GB Class 6 Micro SDHC on sale for $14.99 w/ free shipping. I can't vouch for the card because I just ordered mine, but theres a 81% 5 Egg rating for this card and I follow what the egg says. Haha Heres the link

Thanks for the info. Just ordered it to and will be switching to HERO once it comes in.
nice..just ordered one.
I got the same one from them, works fine on my phone but i dont have apps to sd or any of that rooted stuff..
My first one fouled out, but was able to reformat it and it worked again. I have a A-data that is working strong, but for this price you cant complain. I got my spare
I use this card, paid $18.99 for it a couple weeks back. Been great so far.
They are all sold out now. Sorry guys that missed it.
Yeah Ive been using this since December with apps2sd and asuch with no problems. It's a great buy. Amazon has them too
Just got my card yesterday. Patitioned with Paragon, installed 3.9.1. It is working beatifully. I DO see a slight dif in speed from a C4 card. Great buy.
I love dealnews.com

So, my card got lost in the mail. Filed a claim with NewEgg.
on a side note, does anyone know if the Hero Rom will work on the stock 1gb card? I don't want to wait until the 8GB one gets here. If it ever does

I got mine in july for 23 and some change from amazon. Now that including express shiping. Its not bad. I still have some lag but not as much as before with the stock card.
A computer store I have been going to for a couple years now, Directron, has the same Transcend 8Gb Class6 for $17.99. I just got 2 as the store is around the corner.
Great cards for the price!

[Q] SD card

Hi, I tried searching around but no avail can't find a solution.
I bought a 32gb San Disk class 4 card, and only 10 gb shows up as available.

I bought a 32 gig Kingston technologies sd card still in original package. Worked for 4 days then could only be read as blank sd card. Called manufacturer, gave the numbers off card and was told out was a fake.
got it straight from a verizon store, I could hardly believe it would be a fake, if anything I'll return it
nvm, it actually reads 30 gb, I was looking at my internal storage the whole time in media link doh!
got this card for a steal too at $50.
when you said fake I was like, hmm explains the price

yea I got real lucky, kinda feel bad when I found out how much they really cost.

Anyone else almost out of memory on the internal SD? - Update problem found.

I've got just under 2 GB left of the 11.36GB the phone says is available. I've got about 100 apps and my camera is set to save to the external SD. Anyone else using up their memory rather quickly?

Hmm... do you have some enormous apps installed? I still have well over 7 gigs free, and I'm not even using an external SD. I have quite a few pics, a few dozen apps, and some music.
Not that I can see. Largest is Adobe flash at 12.38mb. There are a couple others around 10mb, and the rest are all 5mb or under. 405MB used by apps.
Edit: I think I found the issue. The CWM folder is 7.9GB.
Dear lord, what's in that folder?
9 nandroid back ups. Which is about 6 more than I remember making.
That would be to many backups......LOL

I make a point of deleting old backups, so I've got one backup per ROM I work with.
I rename them manually using ADB. (The phone is always by the computer on USB when Nandroiding.)

Do you have any trouble saving your pictures to the external sd card? When I do about 50% of them come up corrupt.Could just be the card, going to return it and try again this weekend. 32GB class
10 Kingston.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Entropy, I have no idea how I ended up with so many. I suspect it may have something to do with the time I spent trying to screw around with rom manager.
I haven't had any issues so far except for some lag. I have a 8GB sandisk that is probably a class 2 or 4. I'm looking at getting a 32BG class 10 here soon which will hopefully eliminate the lag I'm getting after taking pictures.
I'm curious...what was the problem? The extra backups eating up that much space?
Yup, each back up was about 3/4 of a GB.

Sirooga,
There is a known problem with some 32gb class 10 cards corrupting data in android phones. The workaround is to format it with a windows pc. Do a full format, not a quick one, and the important part is to set the cluster size to 32kb. After that it put it back in the phone and all should be good.

First of all, the newer cards supposedly have updated their firmware so it's not an issue anymore. So if you have a newly purchased card from a supplier with fresh stock I doubt this would apply.
But for anyone having corruption issues it may be worth a try.
Here is a link to a related thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146665
And here is the post I was referring to, cut and paste from the Patriot memory support forum:
"We have found that there is an industry wide compatibility problem with the new Android based and Windows 7 phones working with 32GB class 10 micro SD cards. We have seen issues with the Samsung Focus, Motorola Driod/X, HTC Evo 4g. We are currently working on a solution for this compatibility issue. Google and Microsoft have stated that there are known compatibility issues with 32GB class 10 micro SD cards and are working on a solution as well.
We have found a fix that works in many cases, where you format the card in a Windows based PC, with FAT32, allocation size 32kb, and full format. This is not an official fix, but troubleshooting steps that has worked in many cases, we are still working on a permanent solution for this issue.
Thank You for choosing Patriot Memory!"

No it didn't and you have to get the top back part of the phone off. Kinda feels like you're gonna break it lol mine didn't seem to want to slide off, so I just kinda pulled up from the charging port and slid my finger toward the top corner and pulled it off.
Mine didn't either. Felt like I was going to break it also so I was hesitent on ripping it off haha. All is well now 32GB class 10 should be in tomorrow.
Phone is beautiful!
Took me a sec to figure out, but there is a recessed tab behind the power button to assist in snapping it off.
I looked like an idiot for like 10 mins when I tried to slide it off then my gf pointed it out. *facepalm

I have a Sandisk Ultra 64GB card and it works great!

getting a s4...need advice

need some input...i want a s4 so i started lookin around and saw that vzw will eventually offer a 32gb.
Should i wait for it or go ahead and get the 16?
Do you think itll be $250 like AT&T or $300?
i read that 45% of the 16gb already used, id that a prob for ppl? (im gonns root, so im assuming thatll help the bloat)
thx in advance
Well if you're worried about storage lets break this down.
16 GB on the standard. about 1.2 GB of that is going to be eaten up by the file system. The Rom itself uses around 4 or something so I think completely stock (and bloated) its something like 7 GB used, 7.5 GB Free
Now, I loaded every app that I use on a daily basis, and a few games with wifi download and I haven't even broken the 6 GB mark.
There's an SD card slot inside, so you can add up to a 64GB SD card.
All your pictures, music and most applications will be saved there once you insert it (normally).
So I ask you, is the extra 16GB worth the wait (and money)? Honestly I don't think that you'd ever run out of room but if you're worried then you can probably wait.
Verizon was doing the 16 GB iPhone 5 at 199 ($200.00) and the 32GB at $300.00 so I would expect to see the same thing with the S4

If you really need the storage than wait for the 64 or get a 64gb microsd card. Otherwise, just get a 32gb sd card for the 16gb model, it's cheaper and available now.
thx for the quick replies

didnt know the 64gb cards had dropped to $50...i got a 32gb but imma check out those 64gb more often now for deals/sales...$100 for 15gb no way, but $50 more and a few weeks to a month i was considering it
If the 32GB was available on launch day, I probably would have purchased that one. However, I don't really need the 32GB. I loaded all of the apps I have used in the past, and it is less than 2GB worth. I don't really download or play games outside of emulators. All of the roms are stored on the SD card. Most of my memory usage comes from movies, which my 64GB SD card holds just fine. Most pictures you take can be set to store on the SD card, but a few camera modes don't allow it. You can always move the files to the SD card after they have been captured to free up that space again. I think when you first turn on the phone, you have around 9GB of free space from the original 16GB. I still have about 7.5GB free and I don't think I will be digging much deeper into that.

The Google Edition is confirmed to only work on AT&T and T-Mobile. The Developer Edition isn't worth it as current firmware GS4s already have bootloader workarounds.

There's little reason to wait for one with more storage. Expandable memory is so cheap these days, it doesn't make sense. Plus, with the amount of things you can store in the cloud, physical storage simply isn't worth the time or money
