I was all set to order a Meenova Dash Micro and 32/64GB MicroSD card to use with my N6 on the go. I don't thinkI will fill up my 32GB phone unless I purposely try to but I would like to keep something with me to use for the purposes of Nandroid backups and to hold Music and HD video content but not have it be ON the phone. Also a folder with all the ROM, Kernel, Modem files etc would be nice too.
Anyway I was all set to order the items I needed when I found this:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-dual-64gb-usb-2-0-micro-usb-flash-drive-black/3814107.p?id=1219093905210&skuId=3814107
Has anyone use one? Looks like its going to be bigger but I didn't intend to use the Meenova while It was plugged into the phone and I would be paranoid about breaking the Micro USB port on my phone. Hell, I don't like to use my phone while it's plugged in even.
As the only time I will most-likely use something like this is for a quick file transfer, backup or listening to music while the phone is say sitting on a table I guess the size isn't super important. So if anyone has used one on the N6, how are the transfer speeds? Build quality of the flash drive etc.
I know the Meenova got rave reviews so should I still with that or get the Sandisk USB/Micro drive? The big thing I like about the Sandisk is no needed adaptors or cables to do file transfers. I can pop it into my MacBook Pro or Windows desktop, copy to it via standard USB port and then pop it into my N6 without having to go find missing part or a cable.
Thoughts? Suggestions? The reason I wanted the Meenova Dash Micro was due to its small size which is still very appealing. My local Best Buy has the Sandisk 32GB for $17.99 and the 64GB for $29.99, I could pick one up when I drive by afterwork today but with the Meenova I have to order it and then still get a 32GB or 64GB MicroSD card which the two together will cost more.
Thanks!
I had that exact one and I hated it. Its cheaply made and felt like it would break. I bought it on amazon and returned it. I bought a corsair one instead and its far superior. It has a USB 3.0(PC side) and micro usb (phone side) and is all metal. Here's a link to it

That Corsair definitely "look" higher quality even just from the pictures. I guess the the reason I was looking at the Sandisk was because it's in-stock at my local Best Buy at $17.99 for the 32GB or $29.99 for the 64GB. The Corsair Flash Voyager GO is almost twice the price. I do like the fact that the Corsair Flash Voyager GO is metal though.
I may just go with my original plans to get the Meenova if no one has any positive things to say about the Sandisk.
Now that you mention it, I've got a few Sandisk 4, 8, 16 and 32GB flash drives and they are very plasticy and I've broken a couple too. Although that is because I've had them sticking out of my MacBook Pro when I was using it on my lap or moving it and I hit one on something so I suppose in that case anything could break. Better then Sandisk flash drive though and not the MacBook Pro USB port!

I got my 32gb for 14.99 last week so just watch the price on it. I've broken some sandisk ones as well and I prefer metal because its on my keyring. The read and wrote speed is also faster than my sandisk was.

It looks nice, I'm happy as long as it made well and I can't use it with my case on my phone. I keep all of my TWRP backups on there. I have a 64gb Nexus but I don't like to waste 12gb on my phone for 3 backups.
Here's a picture of mine next to my Motorola Keylink for a size comparison. (I'm at school so don't mind the dirty table here in the IST bldg)
I know the OP doesn't want to use a cable but since the dawn of time I've used an OTG cable: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-...8&qid=1418397278&sr=8-1&keywords=OTG+microusb
I always found it far more adaptable to my situation. Also you can get a larger choice of high quality drives at a lower price.
$5 and whatever memory stick you have/find/borrow/buy. Too simple.
Ok thanks for the suggestion guys!
Btw, lol my dirty table beats your dirty table!

I have the same adapter and it works well. I use it for my Nexus Player. It has plastic that covers/protectors the two ends while shipping and it makes it look scratched until you remove it. Its a good adapter if you don't mind using one.

i cant see the link for some reason but are you speaking about the sandisk that has a micro usb on one side and a full size usb on the other with a sliding cover to cover the ports?
if so i have the 64gb version and contrary to others i have used it across the nex9 and nex6 and htc one max.
i have had zero issues with the gadget and recommend it if you are use to sandisk. people have their own opinions on everything and ones mileage will vary, but i disagree that its cheap and prone to break. one may LOSE it (its tiny) before they break it, just depends on how you handle such products.
i love it, have used it for months and recommend it.
Yes that it's the one.

My cover broke in less than a week which is partly why it went back to amazon. It also was annoying to use with a case without a OTG cable. I didn't abuse it, in fact it sat on my desk when I wasn't using it. I could've had a defective one but it didn't feel sturdy at all which later proved correct when the cap broke. My USB (fill sized end) was angled weird too but again I think I could have had a bad unit.
I have the 32gb sandisk dual drive for my moto g. It is a great product for its price. I can safely suggest it to anyone who considers to buy it.

That would be difficult because the nexus port is slightly angled so it would require some work.

Since I can't afford 32GB MicroSD card, I'm looking for some alternatives.
I've just found out about "SD to MicroSD/TransFlash Card Converter Module" (search it on ebay, I'm not allowed to post links here). I already have 32GB SDHC card, but will it work with Touch Pro2?
I don't think there's enough room under the battery cover for that converter and an SD card.
I didn't buy a Touch Pro2 yet, so I think that I must consider some other phone.
But generally, is this converter going to work? MicroSD male end of this thing looks kind of thin, so should I attach it to MicroSD-shaped piece of plastic or something like that? Sorry if those questions sound stupid, but I really don't have any kind of experience in this field.
I think you would be best not trying to use this converter on any phone, unless you want to use it only once a day or so. To use this on a TouchPro2/Tilt2 you would have to cut a hole in the battery cover where the slot is located, and then you would have to have a delicate piece of plastic stick out at a right angle to the phone by 1-1&1/2 " to catch on EVERYTHING around it. I can't imagine this on a phone that is designed to slide into my pocket. Heck, I can't bring myself to leave usb sticks connected to my laptop when I am not using them. They catch on things.
I don't quite understand what you are trying to do. Do you want any old phone that lets you use 32gig cards? What other features do you want?
It isn't always the case, but there is frequently a relationship between quality and cost. The less you spend the odds are that you will not have as reliable, functional, or feature-laden of a product.
Admittedly I don't know a lot about most cell phones. What I do know makes me VERY suspicious of this working. My old MotoQ9c would take a miniSD card, but it wouldn't take a full sd card. All of the phones I've seen that use the microSD format have the card hidden inside and make that converter seem less than ideal. Some even put the card under the battery itself.
You COULD plug this into my old Samsung Ace phone and just move the cover to access it, but it would still stick out and be a major pain to use.
Good luck, whatever you do.
I'm not trying to spend alot of cash..Maybe 40$.
I've got a 2gig now and it's just too small for my needs. I had Android plus music and photo's and it's full.. I'm looking for a 8 or 16 gig.
What should I be looking for?? I've never considered the "class" of a card..Is that about the same as the Cas Latency of ram??
Anyway..Whats the best for my budget?? I"m looking to order tonight so any help ASAP would be welcome..lol
Thanks

Edit: I don't need an adapter is it would make it cheaper..lol
8gb is around 19..20$..but stay with class 4 as lower class has bad effect on card reqding speed,streaming speed and data trasfer speed..u will lose it on class2

Good call, I don't like PNY stuff in general. I bought a PNY USB thumb drive on impulse. Needed it last minute for a business trip, and it seemed like a good price for the capacity. It was really cheaply made, and the USB port part eventually pulled apart from the plastic body.
Also got a PNY SD card (not a Micro, but a regular SD for my camera). Again, probably since it was good capacity for the $$$, and I figured its a simple SD card, what can go wrong? Well the plastic body started splitting apart, and the "read only" lock switch fell out. I actually found the little plastic lock switch part (was in my travel bag) and was able to super glue the card back together.
Moral of the story, I'm personally going to stay away from PNY products from now on.
Sandisk makes very reliable SD cards. But they tend to be a bit pricier than other brands, and class 4 and higher are hard to find in the higher capacities for the Sandisk. I'd stick with a reputable dealer, like Newegg (as you mentioned). There are lots of SD cards on eBay, but lots of them are fakes, tampered with (and relabeled) to make them report higher capacity than they really are.
I haven't gotten a new card yet but founf out my 2 gig is actually not half bad. I was adding the droid files to my card after a format and the write speeds got to 5.25 megs.guess its better then what I thought it was..maybe a class six?
Isn't there an app that tells you all that stuff?
Sent from my MSM using XDA App
I bought one of these from eBay, and am very pleased with it. It's a class 6 with USB reader.
A GENUINE SanDisk 16GB micro SDHC can be found easily on eBay for under $40 shipped. Avoid "bulk" and janky Hong Kong sellers. Buy blister pack retail sealed SanDisk to get the real thing. The fakes out there are staggering.
The effort is well worth it, the 16GB is very conservatively classed as 2, but far out-performs in use as attached benchmark shows.
It plays Avatar silky-smooth and apps on card fly. Too much room will seem silly in a few months usage!

Hey there.
NewEgg is definitely where you want to shop. I have this (Although my purchase came with all the adaptors):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211351
Great product, completely satisfied and great quality. Going strong now for over 9 months without a single data loss issue, or anything really to complain about at all.
I purchased this one from Newegg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453
So far it has been working great, I dont have any read/write test stats. But I have been listening to music, moving files, and watching video's without any problems.
So I've been wanting a tablet for a while and I missed the chance to get a TP when the fire sale happened. My dad just bought a Transformer Prime and that's pretty sweet but I don't want to shell out $600. So is this a good buy? Is it worth the $250-$300?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Well, ask yourself this. Do you not want ANY issues? If so then no it's not worth it. I enjoy mine very much, but I have pretty much made the issues with the TP part of my normal usage routine. Like when it dies ( uh oh, sometimes doesn't like to come back on for a while), or when I reboot I have to re setup my wifi network and sometimes it just decides it doesn't want to do the whole auto rotate for me. However the apps run smooth, sound is great ( when the screen is on lol ). Downloading games no problem ( just once again don't let the screen shut off while its downloading sd files ). Oh and no camera unless in webos. So here is my last piece to help u with.
New android tab: 399-700ish
New tp 32gb: about 300
pros: nice size display, bright, loud, very smooth, decent batt life, can connect to many peripherals: wii remote, ps3 controller, mouse, keyboard, etc...
cons: camera only on front, issues with rom i posted up top, no external memory
hope this helps some
I have had my touch pad for almost 2 months, with cm on it for almost as long. The ONLY problem I've had with it is the camera not working.
I've had none of the problems the above user has. Works great, and is only getting better. And $299 is a bit steep. My 32 gig with case and speed charger was $225 shipped
So if I could buy one around $200 with accessories its a good deal?

Good luck getting a 32 with accessories for $200. I'm letting one of mine go for $280 plus shipping with touchstone and keyboard. But mine has carbon fiber wrap and two used cases. Still thinking about listing on eBay cause it should fetch $300 easy cause the wrap got put on right after open so its about as new looking as possible.

Im a noob (first android rooted phone in november) and i love my $180 16gb TP. Im running 30-31 AOKP and the ONLY issues are front camera and having to turn on and off the wifi (quick settings double tap) when coming out of sleep or switching locations.
For the price the only other options are the kindle fire and nook. and those dont support HD video or even ui hardware acceleration. You would have to spend $300 for a used/reconditioned true ICS tablet with the same features and battery life.
The TouchPad is awesome in my opinion. No real issues running android except the camera and microphone, but that could come to us down the road. Everything else runs well. If you havent used webOS, you may even like that OS better. The ONLY downside to webOS is the lack of apps. But if you dont even use that many apps, you wont even notice. Running both operating systems at the same time is nice.
As far as pricing, a 16gb version, you might be able to get for $200 with one or two of the following: case, wall charger, screen protectors. Add a touchstone charger to it and it will be maybe $50 more. If you get a 32GB version, add another $30 or so. I got my 32 GB TouchPad for $230 off of ebay and it came with a case and wall charger. I'm planning on getting a touchstone charger eventually.

Have you even seen it and know what it does? Its a charger that sits on a table/desk/whatever, and you just sit your Touchpad on it and it charges. No plugging in cables to charge. It also acts as an adjustable stand. This is one of the best accessories Palm started with their webOS phones. I loved the Touchstone for the Palm Pre Plus. Can't wait to use one with my TouchPad.

Is it a 16 gig or 32 gig? A 16 gig is a good deal, a 32 gig is a great deal! I recently got a 32 gig for 200 with case and touchstone dock.

I was browsing ebay last week and it seems that the 32 gig is selling for the same price or cheaper than the 16 gig. I was kind of surprised tbh.

I honestly don't think any model of TP is worth over $200 used. Considering the plethora of tablets that are coming out in coming months at increasingly reduced prices, the TP is moving the way of the dinosaur quickly.

Not even close to becoming a dinosaur. The touchpad runs as good if not better then those that have ics on them for a fraction of the price. $200 for a dual boot tablet if a fantastic deal.

I just ordered a mini HDMI cable from Amazon this morning. But I'm not entirely sure what I will be getting.
I'm using Paranoid Android (ICS, CM9) on my phone, but I don't think it touched the webtop partition. The official webtop coming in ICS from Motorola looks cool, but I'm sure I don't have that. So will I just have HDMI mirroring, or what? My wife's Electrify is pretty much stock, so anything I'm screwed out of for unlocking and using an ICS ROM won't apply to her phone.
(Electrify is Photon minus WiMax/4G, and US Cellular branded; otherwise, same phone.)
Even with the official ICS update all you will get is mirroring as WEBTOP3.0=TABLET MIRRORING. Except for Moto specific apps there is very little difference between the two.

Yep, I'm screwed. I ordered the wrong cable. Didn't know there were 3. Maybe Amazon will let me return it; if not, the mistake only set me back $5.47. That plus what a micro will cost will still be fair.
But I mean, I won't need a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, or dock, just micro to HDMI and I can run Android apps on my TV?

Everyone loves Monoprice, but their prices are 2-3 times or more what Amazon charges. Their prices are great compared with the store, but they're not the cheapest around by far. And my wife's not amused that I wasted five bucks on the wrong cable... Although I see now that my camera requires Mini HDMI, so maybe we'll hold onto the cable. We'd have to eat the shipping cost anyway, I'm sure. Not that I need an HDMI cable for my camera, since my TV doubles as my monitor, but at least the cable isn't useless.
Now I just need an HDMI hub/switch. Second-generation HDTV (if you consider the CRT ones to be first, mine is flat panel but also only 720p) only has one HDMI port. Oh man, Amazon slaughters Monoprice here! Monoprice's cheapest is $24.65 for a 3-in, 1-out switch, but Amazon has one for $9.04. Ouch!
with monoprice you get really solid cables, the cheaper ones are a gamble half the time.
Sent from my mopho
So it's the Monster argument but on a smaller scale? Pay more and the cable works better, or don't pay as much and risk getting a dud? I see a lot of reviews on Amazon saying the cables are fine.
If the HDMI cable on Amazon doesn't work, I'll buy one on Monoprice for 4 times as much, and I'll get it in green, and consider the $1.65 a lesson learned.
no, monster claims better performance, monoprice only makes solid cables that won't have a short in them. I wish you nothing but the best though.
Sent from my mopho
While it was a display port cable, Amazon allowed me to return it with free shipping... however I have Amazon Prime so I got free shipping to begin with as well. No money lost on my part.

And, for me at least, the gamble has always been worth it to save 50% - 75%. I have no experience with monoprice, so entirely possible that I would find their prices quite acceptable.
In my experience, in the real world electrons really are very non-picky. Give them a path from A-B on a reasonable guage metallic conductor with reasonable quality connectors. It is that simple.
As I posted in another thread, someone did a double-blind test with a soldered string of dry cleaner hangers vs. Monster speaker cable. Nobody could tell the difference!
in the large quantity I've bought, I've had quite a bit of doa cables, just a hassle id rather avoid, but paying monster prices is just stupid.
Sent from my mopho
Well, I got the cables, and the mini HDMI is indeed the wrong one (not that I doubted you guys). And the HDMI cable works. No dud. $1.65 got me a cable that works. I'll take that luck.
Photon didn't get an official ICS release. We're talking about Moto's ICS that they've been advertising, and rolling out for other phones, like the Droid RAZR. You can find it on YouTube on Motorola's channel, and it's probably been posted around XDA as well.
Finally ordered a proper micro HDMI cable. The mini HDMI cable fit our camera. We never figured on using the feature, but now we have the cable and it didn't even cost that much. No real loss I guess.
Got the Micro for $2.58. Amazon again. Free shipping again.
Disappointing.
I'm running AOKP right now, and all I got was mirroring, i.e. whatever was on my screen showed up on the TV. However, rotating it rotated it on the TV, but it stayed within a portrait frame, making it sideways. There's apparently no way to fill your screen, at least not that I could tell.
I'll test my wife's phone later. Locked, not rooted, and even running the stock launcher. Complete vanilla Electrify running Gingerbread, 2.3.5. Should be the same as an off-the-shelf Photon.
Much cooler on my wife's phone. Seemed to look better on the TV, and rotation worked. Looked kinda crappy (stretched). Played Asphalt 6 -- much cooler than playing it just on the phone. Still a crappy racing game though.
I suspect it not working well with the JB ROM is due to lack of drivers. So if you updated your Photon to 2.3.5 and you're sad that you can't unlock, know that you at least have this advantage, such as it is, over those of us who did unlock. And take advantage of it, I got the cable for under $3.
Hello,
Just ordered a Note Pro 12.2.
Now I need an SD card and not sure which one to buy.
I want a 64gb one with the top performance (read/write speeds), should I get San Disk or Samsung?
Also, should I get a screen protector or is it useless?
Regards,
NeoXx
I have the SanDisk, but the Samsung would be fine as well.
I am normally against screen protectors, but have ordered the MIME one as the Note Pro is not Gorilla Glass.

I didn't know this, so what material is the screen made of, and any idea how scratch proof it is?

I have both the Samsung and the San Disk. I can't tell the difference in operation.

Samsung doesnt specify what the screen material is. It likely could be gorilla glass even though they dont say it. It seems rather resilient to me and considering they use gorilla glass on everything else the make......but I also ordered the mime. I want to use mine without a flip cover.

|t says here they do ..
It's Gorilla Glass 3.
I got the SanDisk 128GB microSDXC. It offers a ton of storage with quick transfer speeds. It has been reliable and comes with an adapter in case you want to transfer files to and from a PC. I haven't tried a Samsung one, but I can tell you that Sandisk has been good in my experiences. Got mine for sale on Amazon for $100. Normally I think it's around $130 but I'm sure you can find a deal somewhere.
Also, I have a screen protector from BoxWave. It is pretty good and very affordable. I personally would not risk it, especially if you're ike me and plan to use this tablet/stylus for drawing. Scratches and scuffs will cause distractions while creating an image and maybe even interfere with your drawing depending how deep the scratch may be. Be aware that you probably will want to switch out the rubber nib on the stylus for the plastic one since pretty much all screen protectors create more friction unless you get a really expensive glass screen protector, or a high quality hard plastic one.
This is an old thread and I had answered a similar question in a more recent one. For others looking for a fast 64GB card I'd recommend the Sandisk Extreme Plus or the Extreme Pro. There IS a difference in performance between those and the cheaper cards for those who care about transfer speeds. Key to picking IMO is to find cards with high rated write speeds. The Extreme Plus line is rated by Sandisk as having up to 50MB/s write speed, 80MB/s read speed. Looking at their specs on Sandisk's site one will notice that they do NOT rate the write speed of their Sandisk Ultra Class 10 cards. Instead they'll just say "Write speed lower" when compared to their 40MB/s read speed.
Having one of the 64GB Extreme Plus and one 64GB Ultra I did some testing with USB 2.0 and 3.0 cables from a windows 7 workstation by timing file transfers to my Note Pro. Results are in the other thread linked below.

These are simple timed tests and they're clearly geared towards larger file transfers. Most memory will slow down significantly for random writes of very small files. For all I know the tables would turn in random small writes but since that's not what I do with external microSD I care not to test that.
Bottom line from my experience is that between a Sandisk Ultra (or other comparable Class 10 card) and the higher end Extreme Plus cards you will see significant improvement in transfer speed even on USB 2.0. For those like me who are impatient the nearly 2x cost upfront is a gift that will keep on giving for a long time down the road. My one wish is that they'd come out with larger capacity ones than just 64GB. I'm excited for the future when these faster high capacity cards come down in price and become the norm.

Can you access all 128gb on your Note? Samsung's specs list the device as only capable of reading 64gb.
(Sorry for bringing this post back from the dead!)
Several posters say that the 128GB SD card works.
Thanks, I eventually found more threads about the Note Pro and Tab Pro accepting 128gb cards. I ended up ordering a Samsung EVO 128gb for $88 just now.

Hey sorry, just saw this notification. If you're still wondering, I am 99% sure it reads the full capacity. I can look tomorrow to double check though (I'll edit this post)
Edit: wow sorry didn't realize I had already responded and that was such an old comment. Don't know why I had a new notification on this thread....
Lol...

I still have my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and I just purchased the SanDisk 1tb micro sdxc card for it and cannot get it to work as it should, at it's full formatted capacity. Has anyone had any luck with this card on this tablet? Can you recommend a good, fairly modern custom Rom for this tablet that would still allow me to access Google services and apps?

Hi! Thanks for bringing this topic up again.
I do not have an answer to your question(s) but I was wondering what the maximum capacity can be for this device.
It supports up to 128 GB in official notes but what's possible in reality?
