Hello, I am thinking of purchasing a SD card for my Tab 2 7.0 currently I am running it with a standard class 2GB card but I want to bum it up to 32GB.
My question is, what's the highest class card I can use and where can I find one. I read up about UHS class but I am not really understanding anything about the speed classes here, can someone with more knowledge explain to me what I need to store apps on a SD card without it affecting any speed or giving me lag.
Thank you.
I have purchased this, is it any good? I was going to go for a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB but I thought I'd start off small and see what I'd need.

http://sdcard-speed-guide.articles.r-tt.com/ anything over class 6 is not worth the added cost because the UHS class 1 speeds can't be done by our tablets (to my knowledge), this is not to say a UHS class one will not work, it will, you just won't get full speed out of it.
Basically the only reason to get a UHS-1 card is if your getting a 64 GB card (since they are all UHS-1's).
Well I went ahead and ordered it any way. Now it's inserted on my tab with no way to move apps on to it lol. I forgot I couldn't use App2SD with our device, ****. Link2SD looks hella complicated and a little too much work, plus I'm guessing if you're only linking to the data stored on the SD card it will cause some lag :/ ****. Why doesn't android natively support app2SD on android 4.2?

It has mixed reviews with some people saying it has class4 speeds but others are saying it has class10 speeds. It's still cheaper than others though. What do you guys think?

I've seen worse reviews for other brand's class 10 cards. This should be ok I guess.
Adata & Sandisk seem to be the higher quality brands.

Not sure if this helps but I bought a topram 16gb class 10 for my Evo 4g. I have never seen write speeds over 15mb and have never been over 30mb read speed BUT a class 10 should write at least 10mb. Sandisk is the best you can buy. I paid $30 for my card though on eBay and am 100% satisfied.

I ran these for you to get an idea. It will run occasionally 10 write but mostly in the mid 11s. Very happy though
I bought it so hopefully when it gets here I do some write speeds. As long as its 10mb write I'll be happy.
try this one instead, Lexar 32gb, Class 10, $57 shipped

Its nice to get opinions but if u really want it screenshots are key. U can actually see what people are getting. A friend of mine has a Tbolt w the Lexar 32 class 10. He likes it. No issues. But still...sandisk = the ****. No company is a fast if u are really concerned. All mentioned in this thread are known good cards.
i know the tech specs ssays redmi note 2 only supports 32g, but i was thinking maybe i can use my 64g microsd BUT the phone will only recognize 32g....the phone detects the microsd, says that it is not formatted and asks to format...IF you press YES, it will will all user data and you will be back on a clean stock rom instead. i tried it 5 times....

Format it in fat 32 with your pc

But if I format FAT32, I can not use files larger than 4GB , tx.
I don't think it's caused by having a 64 gig card. I had the same issue with just a 32 gig one. It didn't clear everything (like photos) but apps and stuff got wiped when I thought it was just going to erase the external microsd. So must be a major software bug. (I got the beta MIUI 7)
I formatted the card on a Mac using an SD adapter and it's working fine.
...
do not use the pop up screen to format.. format inside the system menu and you are good to go.
Nice feature..
Anyone know if the SanDisk 200gb micro SD card will work on our phones? Or are we limited to 128gb? Don't look at the white paper since it's never right on this issue.

And what's the fastest speed microsd supported by the Z5 Compact?
I've put a 3-4 years old microsd in my Z5 Compact.
Used "A1 SD Bench" app to test it:
Read Speed: 32MB/s
Write Speed: 12MB/s.
EDIT:
I've been investigating.. Apparently the max speed right know is like: 95MB/S Read speed and 40-60MB/S Write speed, right?
So I've ordered the samsung micro SD card Pro plus 64GB. Will report back once testing is done.

EDIT2:
So this card supports read speeds up to 95MB/s and write speeds up to 90MB/s. I'm not getting near those speeds, hence the z5c doesn't support those speeds.

I've had a couple of goes at this but I think I should probably start a separate thread.
I'm struggling to get my head round this.
Courtesy of a wise man on another thread - "You set it up for Adoptable Storage I assume? Adopted Storage uses the SD card as the actual internal storage for the device, so it will not show up in a file manager - it is not a separate device any longer."
Moto Z = 32GB - SD Card 64GB
And of course he was correct - I did - even if I didn't quite know I had, or why/how

I still don't understand what these two screen grabs tell me. On File Manager I can't see what's in there, and on the other (in settings) it's there, and it's got stuff on it.
I lost what was on the SD card to have Adoptable Storage, I'd lose it again to swap back, but should I - which is better?
Is there a better file manager than the Moto one that came on the phone, that would show me more?
Thanks for any help.....
Adoptable storage formats your sd card once you have opted to use it. From memory, if you reverse back to internal and external storage, apps are moved back to internal and sd card will be wiped. Even if you use Adoptable storage your internal and external memory is shown as per your screen shots.
I tried it when I had a 16gb moto x play. I found it not a great success and you had to move most apps onto sd card so wasn't as seamless as I was expecting. Matter of fact found it a waste of time and never tried it again.
Hello,
Has anyone tried to swap their memory card for ram? i read there are ways
but any latest guide or someone here using it? or can shed some light on it?

I've used ram manager pro to create swap space for
testing purposes.
In extra tab, tap swap to create swap with directory of your choice!
Can create as much as 4gb.
what for ? getting 64gb of ram ain't make your phone faster than 2gb
Swap makes no sense on a memory optimized OS as Android. Storage is always slower than RAM and SD cards are even slower.
Besides, on Android free RAM is wasted RAM, having more apps loaded into RAM makes multitasking faster.
This is the worst idea i've ever read.
