Hi,
My Observations:
I am currently using Class 10 ultra and I could able to play the big games like, NFS, FIFA, GTA etc.. with out any lag.
Not sure about other games as I have not played on my device.
Coming to the ultra and extreme pro, as you know an advanced version will always give you the better performance than older ones (unless there is defect... my analysis ).
Basically we(at least me) look for speedy memory cards because we have less internal space on our device.. In order to play big games, we might need to swap the memories, where your external sd card becomes internal memory. Usually Internal memories built using SSD tech which are much faster than the External cards. To match up with the speeds we will go for a higher speed memory cards like class 10.
Another example is camera, we can have captured images stored in external sd card. So here again speed matters to capture the images faster (like in burst mode).
This analysis is from my readings, If I am wrong on any point please feel free to correct me.
It is ultimately you to decide to go with which card.

As of I know,
nope, you cant if you want to play games which are bigger in size say >1GB. As you need more internal memory to save the game into your internal memory.
I did not find any apps or methods to swap memories with out root. Try searching in google, if you can find any.
We need to root our phone as we have to edit some files from the system folder (system files) which can be only possible if you have root permissions. You can gain root permissions by rooting your device.
Just updating to 4.2.1 will not give you root access, but if you install any pre-rooted roms through CWM(recovery) will give you root access.
Rooting your device will void your warranty (anyways clean unroot and clean uninstall of custom ROM might be useful to gain warranty again, I am not sure about this as I never tried it, i just saw people writing this on forums).

Hi, just got my new Hero and wanted to purchase the cheapest and best micro SD card for it..
I read somewhere that the 'Class 6' cards were the way to go..!!
Can someone advise me if this one will work in my Hero before I click buy.!!
http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_6&products_id=104986
If not any suggestions..???
Thanks
Wish I'd seen this sooner! I got ripped off on eBay for an inferior product.
Go for it!
Do you have one of the 'Transcend' then?? I've not seen them before..!! I had assumed it was the same but thought i'd check.!!!
Thanks for your help.. What do you think of the Hero BTW??
The 2GB card that my Hero came with is made by Transcend. And with the Album app its way faster than the SanDisk 8GB Class 4 card I was going to use until I realised it was so slow in comparison.
Some SD card tests in the Hero would be great if someone has a few to try out

No - the eBay seller sent me un unbranded un classified (Class 2?) card when their ad clearly stated class 6.
As for the Hero - it's awesome!
Edit: I used a utility to test the speed of the card I was sent and it performs at around 8MB per sec - above the class 6 spec. I tested the card that came with the Hero and it came out at just over 1MB per sec - below even class 2. Guess which card I'm using now?
Cheers

Grrr, literally just bought a lexar class 4 from my memory for slightly more money, wish I had checked this.
Do all apps have to be reinstalled when insert a new card or can I just simply copy the contents of old memory card to new one?

With SD Cards in the Hero using A2SD, what is more important - the read speed or the write speed?

depends what you're doing, doesn't it? if you're gonna be writing lots of data to the card, then obviously the write speed (i'm thinking, for example, if you're taking lots of pictures with the camera, installing lots of applications maybe, etc etc). if you're just interested in reading from the card - e.g. listening to your music collection - then you'd want that to be pretty fast. my guess is that the bottleneck, in general, is going to be the write speed on any card - but i don't know much about these cards, still learning ;-)
Excellent find thanks
Got one on order so all looking good for my newly rooted G2

The speed in album app is more related to if your thumbnails are created correctly on your sdcard. There is an increasing number of persons that realizing that they have this problem.

Hi All,
There seem to be several different Galaxy S III boards here so I just picked one at random (if it's the wrong place would somebody be good enough to move it to the correct place? Thanks)
I was in a phone shop here in the UK the other day asking about the SIII, and specifically the differences between the three types 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB the salesman said instead of getting one of the bigger ones, I should just get the 16GB model and buy a larger sd, I said that isn't how it worked, but he called another guy over who 100% agreed with him. Still not convinced I came home and had a quick sniff around on-line. This did not help clarify things, there seems to be just as much confusion out there.
Can I ask the experts here at XDA to give a definitave answer on this.
Thanks.
~S
Added later to clarify: I currently have a rooted HTC Desire with a 4GB a2sd partition. Even though the a2sd partition is practally empty the phone keeps complaining that I don't have enough space to install/update things. Although there are thing I want installed that aren't because of this it isn't a HUGE problem, but it's happening more and more as apps get bigger and bigger.
I'm not a big gamer (I pay some but not that frequently), I am a big app nut though. Yes 16GB is more than enough space for me right now, and I know there are options to move some files elsewhere, but if these options are as unreliable as a2sd am I going to be stuck for space again in 12 - 18 months time like I am now?
If you are not a gamer, 16gb model should fit well for daily usage.

If u are a gamer and u don lik to root ur phone( love stock) thn u should go for 32 or 64gb..
If u are a gamer and u lik rooting then u can go for 16gb version +64gb SD card.
If u are a regualr user..without gaming..16gb is sufficient.
Well since the phone has an SD slot you really can just buy a 16GB phone and buy a 64GB SD card..
Sent from my GT-I9300
You can only install apps on internal memory on the S3 also apps can also only use internal memory, which is why people said if you are a mobile gamer to get the 32 or 64GB version.
If you are just a normal user the 16GB will be absolutely fine, just use an sd card, I would say the store staff were half right, they probably don't know we can't install apps to sd.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Game apps themselves don't use that much data, but it's the game data which can be massive. 9mm itself has about 2gb of data.
Game data can be moved to external storage so even if you are a gamer, 16gb is still good enough. I use 'gl to sd' from the play store which allows me to move data to the external card. There are other options as well, like 'directory bind'.

Clarification.
Hi,
Just added this to the OP to (hopefully) clarify a little:
I currently have a rooted HTC Desire with a 4GB a2sd partition. Even though the a2sd partition is practically empty the phone keeps complaining that I don't have enough space to install/update things. Although there are thing I want installed that aren't because of this, it isn't a HUGE problem, but it's happening more and more as apps get bigger and bigger.

Yes 16GB is more than enough space for me right now, and I know there are options to move some files elsewhere if needed, but if these options are as unreliable as a2sd am I going to be stuck for space again in 12 - 18 months time like I am now?
~S
Anybody want to add anything else?
Yes app2sd sucks a bit, I'm using something somehow similar, but more reliable (at least for my opinion)(also additional ext4 partition [20gb], but only mounted at /sdcard/Android to have the game data somewhere else and also because ext4 is way better for such big folders than messy fat32 or exfat).
But I would say go at least for the 32 gb, I'm not that heavy gamer, but I have some high-end games installed and the space is pretty tight at my 16gb device (if iwouldn't have put it to another place and also because I got some other stuff on it which I haven't moved yet).
Yes all is movable somehow, but why should you if you can get more space from the beginning.
16gb are for sure ok and I'm still happy with the device the same way i would with more internal, but I would have taken at least 32gb if it has been available when I bought the device.
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
so this is the reason they have 16 and 32g models. lock app installs to physical storage so people don't buy large SD cards and rather buy the larger 32gb or 64gb models.
too bad i didn't know this or i would of bought the 32gb.. i figured i could get 16gb and use sd card for extra apps but based on reading it looks like it requires hacking or apps that make symlinks..
why bother putting an SD slot if they're going to restrict what you can put on it.

hello bro i am using strontium 16GB class-10 UHS-I .its mentioned speed on the box is 20MB/s write and 60MB/s read. i am getting in my canvas hd 22MB/s read speed and 14MB Write speed.according to me you should go with uhs-i.which will work without lagging.
Has anyone tested with a 64gb card. I know the spec says 32gb but the phone can do more than that. My Samsung Captivate used to work with a 64gb card even though the specs said 32gb.
Let me know if some tested it and please mention the brand and class.

You could "try" flashing the official rom via sp tools to replace the one installed from the service centre.....some users have reported that this process solves many problems ( screen flickering, etc.) ..... or you could try any of the custom roms. If problem persists, try re-flashing official stock rom and take it to a service centre for replacement if the issue is severe. I too have experienced some patches in quadrant tests ... but its nothing I can't live without.
Hey guys!
This being my first thread here, I hope it is in the right section
Here is my problem
I am looking to buy a new smartphone, and came up with the Sone Xperia ZR, its just around my budget (did not buy it yet, still looking around)
specs wise it is very good, but however there is one drawback, it has 8 Gb internal, (can be extended tough)
I think nowadays 8Gigs is like, nothing..
so my possible sollution was this,
I was going to get an sd card for it, install apps on my phones internal memory but install HD games on the sd card with apps2sd (the one that does not require root)
also movies and music... go to the sd card
what do you think, is this realistic and will it work? I think for normal apps about 4.5(?) gigs should be enough as most of them don't take alof of space, and I am not planning to install 200 apps anyway
Regards
U will have better performence if u intall all in internal mem.
