Help with microsd - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hi
Can i use a normal 32gb microsd instead of microsdhc class 10?
because here in indonesia 32gb is not a ready stock item, and once i order it there will be no refund if the microsd is not working

I put a 32 gb class 4 in mine and it works fine.
The only time I ever had any trouble with using a class 4 card is when I tried to use it in a 3d high definition video camera. It couldn't keep up with the data writing.
A normal class 4 should be all you need.

a 32gb MicroSD works fine.

He's saying he has never had any issues using a class 4 card...except for when he used one in a camera that had 3D/HD capabilities.

The only difference between MicroSD and MicroSDHC is the capacity. Any card with capacity 4GB or higher is by definition HC (high capacity). Less than 4GB is "standard" MicroSD.
Any card Class 4 or higher should be fine, up to capacity 32 GB. Above 32 GB is SDXC, which I do not think is officially supported by our device, and you may not be able to access the storage > 32 GB anyway. Many Android devices have been shown to work with SDXC (and access full capacity), but its not guaranteed.

[Q] Does G1 support micro SDHC 8Gb?

Hello,
Do you know whether HTC G1/Dream could support an micro SDHC card of 8GB?
According with HTC support team the G1 supports micro SDHC of 2 or 4 GB, the say it could support 8 GB too, but I have to test it first before. So I would like to know whether someone of you have tried this card.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, HTC G1/Dream supports 8Gb microSD cards. Recently i`ve bought one, and it is working in my device - so buy it without fear))
The only thing to pay attention to is a microSD class - the more the better. These are 2 class, 4 class, 6 and so one. As for me, i have a 6 class Kingston microSD.
yes but only up to 8gb and nothing higher

I'm using a 16gb microSd card. So the G1 supported up to 32gb.
But in my opinion 16 gb are enough(music+pics). I have a class 10 card and its running very fast.

That is your problem they only SD card with good performance is a Sandisk class 2 or 4 8GB or above. There isn't really anything you can do other than get a new card.

Gotta go with Sandisk as well.
Tried Transcend, PNY and Kingston cards of 4-16G capacities and c6-8 speeds and they're all handily beaten by my Sandisk cards so far as stability.

It is speed. Sandisk has the fastest random write speed which is what seems to cause those lock ups. SD card class is just measures one (relatively unimportant) indicator of SD card "speed" (sustained read).
Sustained read and write are great if you're using your card to backup large media or picture files but more or less worthless for running an operating system. Same principle is in place for SSD. Manufactures advertise sustained transfer rates but the important stat for a OS drive is access time (which determines the speed of random read/writes).
Here's a link to a 32gb sandisk for $30 http://slickdeals.net/da/mem-i/p46847290/k4569/u125110/r4
These work just as well as the 16gb ones.
Got this 32gb class 4 few weeks ago - runs great...

32gb is theoretically the maximum, since 64gb cards will all be part of the new SDXD standard. Then again, several people have found that the 64gb SDXC cards work in their SDHC devices so we'll just have to wait until someone tests one in the nook color to know for sure if it'll support it (I wouldn't hold your breath, our hardware is fairly old).
I can certify that the 32gb works fine, as can numerous others who I've seen post.

Micro SD card help

Hey guys, I ordered my 32GB Prime, super excited about it, and I want add another 32GB memory card but I don't know much about the different classes. Is there a huge difference between them? Thanks for any advice.

From Wiki:
The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD cards. The class number guarantees a minimum write speed as a multiple of 8 Mbit/s (1 MB/s).
Classes
Class 2 - 2 MB/s
Class 4 - 4 MB/s
Class 6 - 6 MB/s
Class 10 - 10 MB/s
Click to expand...

Basically the Class you "need" will depend on the kind of data you will store and how do you plan to use it... For storing and editing plain docs I wouldn't mind having a low class SD, but it would make it harder for your TF to write other files as HD Videos as fast as it should.
More info here:
Wiki Article
Just make sure it's a Sandisk micro SD in my opinion. Their C4 cards tend to be a lot better and more reliable than most peoples C10 cards.

Well I'm not saying I would buy one of those, the cost is prohibitive, just wondering if it was even an option.
you can get a class 10 for $40-60, so even if the Prime cannot use a class 10, why not buy it to future proof the purchase and then when something comes along that can use a class 10, you have it.
Iam looking for a well rated, 32gb class 10.
Hopefully it will support microSDXC, so when the prices of them start to come down we can extend the memory massively!
Just format the sdxc with a file system the Prime understands. sdxc is just using exFAT. I'd format it with FAT32 or NTFS (if the Prime supports it).

The SDXC card was tested on the TF101. No problems there. I'm pretty sure it will work on the Prime as well.
This article states that SDXC cards will work on the prime.

Nobody knows if SDXC will really work but it's almost sure it will.
And why the heck do you guys think the Prime won't support class 10 cards?! Even my old Desire HD supports them with no problems
Wow. That article is full of fail. Its said that the TFP had a 5 Mega pixel camera. I wouldn't trust much in it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
From what I understand, SDXC just added the exFAT requirement for the for it to be SDXC. From what I originally read awhile ago, sdhc hardware will support 2TB cards. There are a lot of people using the 64GB MicroSDXC and 128GB SDXC in devices at said that they only support SDHC cards. They just formatted them to a file system the device can understand.

Micro SD card suggestion for Xperia Mini Pro

I bought a Xperia Mini pro SK17i a few days back. It came with a 2GB memory card. I want to upgrade to larger space.
Please tell me should I go for 16GB or 32GB one. Will there be any problems? I mean any slowing down or hanging etc. Also tell me what class of microSD should I buy?
Im using a Class6,32G card on my mini,i think it's fast enough.
It matters how much space you need. Class 4 and above is fast enough for the XMP, not it is just your choice how much space you need . Im using Class 4, 32GB SD Card and I haven't got any slow or problem with loading my music or pictures.
I'm on a 16gb class 6, no problem at all.

Go for a 32 GB one if you think you'll be able to utilise the space. If you pick a class 6 or 10 card you really shouldn't have any speed problems. Obviously a higher class card is faster - class 10 FTW!
Micro SD Card Suggestion
Well 16Gb or 32GB is based on your requirements
My suggestion would be 16GBclass 4 or 16GBclass 6
I am using 16GBclass 6 on my SE Live With Walkman and it has no problem
for me
Class are based on their speeds
Class2 -->2Mbs
Class4 -->4Mbs
Class6 -->6Mbs
Class8 -->8Mbs
Class10 -->10Mbs
Use "Crystalbenchmark" to test the read/write speed of your cards
First check the read/write speed of your 2GB sd card that came with
your device and this help you to differentiate speeds of different class
types

These are only minimal speeds, these can be higher.
I have Class 4, Sandisk, 16GB, Write is 8.7 MB/s, Read 28.9 MB/s.
There's a thread on this subject somewhere here.
What you need to consider as well is access speed.
Higher class cards transfer faster, but to do so, data has to be accessedfirst, and that takes longer with class 10 than class 2 for example.
That means, if you are goinf to work a lot with larger files, it pays you to get a high class, if on the other hand, you are going to onstall apps to work with small files a lot, it will actually slow you down.
Edit:
I've found it, anybody interested should look at the tests results

There is a very good review here.

What is the fastest SD card you can buy for the Nook?

Despite being a Class10, I have been informed by XDA members that the 32GB Lexar SD card (amazon dot com slash Lexar-MicroSDHC-Memory-Reader-LSDMI32GBSBNAR/dp/B004AM610M/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) that I purchased for my Nook Tablet is not very fast at reading large PDFs and eBooks which is what I intend on using it for.
The term used to measure performance escapes me right now, but they said it was more important than just the fact it's a Class 10.
I searched the forums and can't seem to find the posts mentioning fast SD cards for the tablet, so I'm asking a direct question:
What are scientifically and objectively the fastest SD cards (at least 32GB) for the Nook Tablet?
I'm tired of waiting 7-15 seconds to turn a single page in a large PDF. I am not exaggerating.

currently i have a 32gb class 4 sandisk and i have some epub format ebooks that i am reading now with aldiko. turning pages are pretty quick. the general rule of thumb is this:
if you care about file transfer speeds as in copying/moving files from a hard drive to your sdcard, the higher the class the better.
if you care about performance as in how the files are read which in your case is what i think you want, class 4 or class 6 is the sweet spot.
Also wasn't there some issues with higher class cards and stye NT clashing? I think general consensus is that the class 4 works best the the NT.

i've used 3 class 10 and 3 class 4's
despite the supposed higher read/write on the class 10, the class 4's all ran faster and were more stable.
I think this is what you're looking for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633
I'm just a noob , but I think it also depends on what you're running. I dualboot and run CM9 straight off a SD card. I read sequential read/write is what essentially makes the class 4, 6, etc. But for running a ROM on it, it's all about random write. SanDisk is recommended in this case.
But by all means, check for yourself. Hope that helps.
SanDisk's 64GB card is pretty fast on the NT.

I'm running CM7 internal on a 16GB NT. Not sure about speed, but can report on these two brands/capacity.
I have two 16GB Class 10 Samsung cards (MB-MPAGA) and regularly use them to run backups. Used them last night to update to latest CM7 from Team B. They both work with no problems ever encountered.
The card that is in my NT for daily use is a 32GB Class 10 G.Skill that I got from Newegg. No problems with it either.
Attached are results from benchmarks on the three cards.
SanDisk's 64GB card is great!

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
Class 2 for SD video recording
Class 4 and 6 for HD ~ Full HD video recording,
Class 10 for Full HD video recording and HD still consecutive recording
UHS Speed Class 1 for real-time broadcasts and large-size HD videos
Our beloved Nooks can't do any of that. The general consensus is that these such devices just weren't designed to take advantage of the higher speed cards. The test results in the chart referenced earlier bares that out.

Same here. There's an old thread on XDA somewhere that tested sd cards and r/w speeds. It was SanDisk hands down, class 4, either a 4 or 8gb. It was found that for these tablets booting from the sd card, the class 4 was superior to 10's.

Either try a different file system all together, such as Ext3,or try formatting the SD card with your tablet.
