Hi guys,
I'm wondering what most people have 16 or 32. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, I'm coming from a nexus S and my phone gets full sometimes, I have to remove some apps.
Difference is now, I will be on MVNO, I will be relying more on Wifi but I will still have many apps installed but I doubt I will be downloading a lot.
I just dont want to run out of space also, any advice from current owners?
After experiencing the space-pain of the Evo OG, I opted for the 32GB based on the assumption that it's only a bit of a premium for the internal storage versus purchasing 32GB micro sdhc card for space. Expecially given the sketchy nature of A2SD support for so many of the apps I use. That said, I will definitely be wiping the 16GB class 10 in my Evo OG and putting that sucker in the GS3 when mine arrives.
Whatever I can get my hands on.

You can get the 16GB and buy a 32GB or 64GB SD card. That is more than enough memory for me.
I've gone for the 16G for cost.
I already had a 32G card plus you can watch movies using a usb stick so that's plenty for me.

I pre ordered the 16 gig at first but then realized might as well get 32 for 50 bucks more so I canceled first order and got 32 gig. If you plan on having this device for a while, might as well go for the best.

Ehh ordered a 16gb, and bought a 16gb sd card!
I ordered the 32gb cuz i had the money to spend and with the 64gb micro I already have, I am set! Sold the iPod and now I can't wait to get my phone! I love music

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 ordered the Lexar 32GB class 10 microSDHC from tigerdirect today - $55 (approx $6 for shipping *and* tax) today. It retails around $90 at amazon
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=186367&CatId=7071
Only problem is that it is expected to ship in late August... hope they don't cancel it by then
I'm using sandisk 16g class 2 card that come with my Droid X. I do get lag sometimes playing 1080p vids, although rare.. If I don't skip around a lot then no problems at all. I don't consider it a nuisance enough to throw away any class 2 cards but enough to make class 4 my new min requirement.

I bought a SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB Class 6 microSDHC-I card from Best Buy on sale for $34.99 with free shipping. I'm still waiting for it to arrive. Now I just read that it may not work with the EVO 3D. Can anyone tell me whether this is true on not? It says it's "compatible with most devices with microSDHC card slots." There is also a review by someone with a Galaxy SII and they say it works fine. I don't know if that means its fine with the EVO 3D or not. I was really looking forward to receiving this card but now I'm afraid of opening it and finding out that it doesn't work and not being able to return it because it's opened.
Here's the link to the product page:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/SanDisk...bolsp-app02-24?id=1218427115873&skuId=3695074
I included a pic of the card from Best Buy's website so you know which one I'm talking about.

You shouldn't have any problems with it. I'm currently using a 32GB class 10 card without any problems in my Evo 3D.
The only way to find out is to try. Otherwise, you can just sell it to a buddy.
Sandisk mobile ultra 32gb
it does work.
Yeah, the only incompatibility issues would be microsdHC, but the phone runs sdHC cards well. The one it comes with is sdHC.
What is the speed on this card? Does it come with an adapter to plug it into your computer as well?

I started this thread and meant to come back to it to answer that the card does work and it's nice & fast. Things definitely seem to load faster on the phone and files transfer to and from my laptop faster than my SanDisk class 4 8gb card and my SanDisk class 6 16gb card. SanDisk is the only brand I buy when it comes to SD & microSD cards. The Best Buy website said this one was class 6 but its actually a class 10. It says so on the SanDisk packaging. I like the card a lot and I think $35 was a good price.
And yes it does come with an adapter to make it the size of a regular SD card. I never use it though because I don't take the card out of the phone once I put it in.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check it out and maybe swap my 8g one out. I use the adapter to copy files to the card when I am wiping and installing and usually to back up my music and photos.

I just use a charge/sync cable so I don't have to turn my phone off, take it out of the case, take the battery door off, take the battery out, remove the card, use the adapter to put the microSD card in my laptop, transfer files and then put it all back together, all while potentially missing texts because my phone is off. But to each his own, I guess. lol I checked the link I posted and as of last night, the card was on sale for $39.99 and I think it said free shipping. Just a heads up in case you're interested. I definitely recommend it!

Good to hear it worked!
I honestly think SanDisk is better, but here in Canada, that card is barely available, and I can only find them for over $100!
I bought my Lexar card since it was a boxing day special. Originally $100, got it for about $40.
Can't really go wrong, as long as it works, right? (;
A bit late in the day, for all I know they're sold out by now, but Amazon's Gold Box deals of the day are SanDisk micro SDHC and SSD. Great price on a 64GB micro SDHC, $60.

I don't think the Evo supports a 64 GB card.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read the limit was 32 GB somewhere.
It should work, because the EVO 3D supports microSDHC up to 32 GB. And there can't be much different to ANY other SDHC card.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I actually heard they do, you must format it IN the phone, under settings/storage. This is regarding the 64GB one.
FWIW I've used the 32 and have the 64 in my 3d now. Both have worked perfectly fine. With the 64 I formatted in win7 after installing a small util app from the SanDisk website.

samsung micro sd 16 gb class10
i got it from china for $16.99:good:
Just thought I would post here since people still post and read:
I have 2x 8GB and 2x 16GB Sandisk Mobile Ultra Class 10 (UHS-1) MicroSDHC cards, they have so far been the FASTEST performing cards in terms of raw READ/WRITE and IOPS, if you format them properly for your use (I have one of my setup's listed in my signature), they are REALLY worth it!
Sandisk is now coming out with Extreme Pro editions which are a step above the Mobile Ultra, I cannot wait to have enough to buy one to test it for myself!
Sandisk and Kingston have always been the kings when it comes to memory... Kingston just wins with PC memory as well
Hello,
Not that many of us Photon Owners are lacking for Storage, but this deal for the 32gb SD Card is so good that I figured it was worth bringing to everyone's attention.
Here is the link:http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDHC-Flash-Memory-SDSDQM-032G-B35/dp/B004G60AD6/
There are multiple options, but this one is eligible for Free Shipping for Amazon Prime Members and I think anyone whereas some of the others have $4.99 Shipping.
Cheers,
JJ
Not to jack this, I got my 64Gb card from NEWEGG for $99.00!
Wow. Newegg has some insane prices. They are great in that they are Authorized Dealers for everything they sell, but their Return Policy is pretty brutal should there be a need for a Return/Exchange. With an SD Card, that is certainly not an issue, but on the AV Forum where I am a Moderator we have had Members with horror stories when AVR's come damaged or they simply want to Return it, That is a sick price for a 64gb SD Card.
I thought the photon could only take up to 32gb external storage? Is there a way to make 64gb work? I could easily max out my 32gb card if i put some more music on it.

There is instructions here someplace but, put card in reader (or slot on your desktop if you have one?) put reader in SDHC on computer and type:
format /FS:NTFS G:
replace 'G' with whatever drive your computere assigns the card. Go to media player and move your playlist, movies, whatever, then put in photon.
I bought one of these a couple weeks ago. Works great, but file transfers are kinda slow since it's a class 4.

Bought one and when it arrived, it had pictures from the previous owner of whatever it came out of. It had pics of a funeral and a wedding
The seller I got it from was CTCstore and I'll be sending it back tomorrow for a replacement. I tried to erase the contents and formatted it 3 times and every time the pics came back(and no it wasn't write protected). Weird

Hello,
That looks mighty intriguing. SanDisk makes a quality product, but I must say that Samsung appears to shame it. As for the 64gb SD Card, I honestly thought it was for a different application and not for the Photon. It too thought 32gb's was all it could handle...
Cheers,

I just bought a 32 GB Lexar card that's very hit or miss from Amazon last week. I should have waited!
using this for my other phone used up all my phone storage last week and this is a great deal!

I just put my order in for the RAZR and it comes with the 16gb SD. Is it the same class of SD as my Droid Charge with 32gb SD?
I will use the 32 and sell my Charge with the 16 if they are the same class.
i think most likely the 16gb will be class 4.. whats ur 32gb? u can try double check online..

I got the SanDisk 64GB micro-sdxc. Best Buy $80 USD.
It's at least as fast as the interface. Faster wouldn't change much.
I can get almost half of my music collection on it, with a few ROMs and a set of backups.
128GB will probably be available by October.

I can tell you that the AT&T models don't come with a micro SD. I'm sure it's the same across the board.

No need to include a micro sd with the internal memory. My Inspire, for example did come with one, but only because there was very little internal memory.
I'm assuming you mean because of the varying internal storage. My DX has 16 GB internal and still came with an SD card. Only reason I asked. I didn't think twice about it before ordering my class 10 32GB lol.

Even if they included a Micro SD card it would probably be a small one like 5gigs.

No everything is internal storage. I've heard that the internal storage is pretty fast so unless you are gonna buy a class 10 you might be better paying for more internal storage too. I didn't have that option on ATT. However I bought the Samsung 32gb class 10 card. Check slick deals, they were 29 shipped from beach camera on ebay. I was going to be extremely picky on who I get my sd card from but they have thousands of flawless reviews and seem to be a great vendor, and it wasn't one of those too good to be true prices, so I bit considering that was the card I wanted anyway. I'll test the speeds out when it gets here.
