[Q] How to know if your micro sd card is original? - Xperia Z2 Accessories

I have bought Sony 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card (SR32UY). How to know if it's original or fake? There are some apps on playstore which can prove it or some laptop programs?

Download Barcode Scanner App from Playstore. Scan the barcode from the packaging, if it shows you the same details of the item you bought then I guess its legit.
Or install SD Insight app from Playstore also it will show you the details of your sd card...

With barcode scanner it says that it's org Sony card but with SD Insight it shows me this manufacturer and details. Could it be that Sony let other companies to make their SD cards like Toshiba, Panasonic, SanDisk etc. I have tested it with h2w on laptop too and A1 SD bench on android (Z2) and read/write speeds are read 38 MB/s and write 10 MB/s just like Sony stated for that card max 40 MB/s min 10 MB/s.
Edit: On Samsung cards it says manufacturer Samsung with SD Insight app.

Well, im not sure about who manufactures Sony's SD Card, but atleast the result is "NOT VALID" like some fake sd cards.
Jiang Tay Tech is for licensing manufactured sd cards, try searching google. ?

Tnx for reply , I think it's original SD card then, because fake sd cards shows this on tests (errors) and mine passed without errors or less storage than it says so. Edit: I just thought that it would say (SD Insight) for example Samsung sd card, Manufacturer: Samsung and not Manufacturer: Jiang Tay Tech for my Sony card instead Manufacturer: Sony

First off You did not say in what device did You put your card to get that readings . Your cellphone , Mac , Windows pc .... It depends on card formatting . Maybe it was formatted so that only some OS can see it . Try using some cannon cameras or nokia cell phone to reformat it . ( I had a program on my PC that can recognize any formatting and create ANY partition on the card ) .
Im aware of the fake sd cards. Which is why I didnt buy it on ebay and purchased from amazon. Its just in the flyer. Have not partitioned or done anything to it. Titanium is installed but no auto backups are scheduled. Is there a market app that will show whats consuming the card, if anything?
Astro file manager shows the total capacity is 8.9gb. Time for a new card.

IF you are talking about the internal SD memory, you are only looking at one of 3 partitions.
The 32GB 3G and Wifi version has its internal memory split between 8GB of app storage and 20GB of “tablet storage,” which works like the SD card on an Android smartphone. On the 16GB Wifi-only model you get 4GB for apps and 9GB of tablet storage. Both models set about 8GB aside for the OS.
If you are talking about an external SSD card, then either it is incorrectly formatted or you are using an application that doesn't recognize large SD cards.
I highly recommend SDFormatter from Panasonic / Trendy for formatting SD cards. Far far better than Windows or Linux built-ins and can fix many woes. Free to download. Do not use it on your Flyer internal memory, formatting that will cause big problems.

A number of good points there. One thing, be absolutely sure you are looking at the external and not the internal SD if you go anywhere near partitions. re-partitioning the internal memory can perm-brick a device.
Formatting the internal memory is a no brainer. The 32 gb card clearly showed its max capacity. Will try to copy all content then reformat. It looked authentic when it came packaged.

Keep in mind that Amazon acts as a storefront for a myriad independent sellers. Wouldn't surprise me if fake SD cards are sold on Amazon, too.

In Astro file manager the external SD Card is listed as ext_sd.
When I open Astro it is showing the internal SD storage(8.9gb). I then scroll down to ext_sd to see the external one

I was wondering the same when the OP mentioned they bought from Amazon, whether it was from Amazon themselves, or another seller. I'd trust an SD card purchased from Amazon themselves.
After contacting Amazon, they immediately offered a full refund and noted "the wrong item was sent." Even though an independent seller sold the sd card, Amazon was responsible for the sale.

Aren't speed classes for the microsd cards themselves and have nothing to do with the device loading them? Or are you asking up to what class will the s3 support?

I'm having trouble finding any nice comparison charts that are comparing the newer SDHC cards.
I'm considering...
Samsung MicroSDHC Plus Memory Card - 16GB, Class 10
Model#: MB-MPAGA/US
You might want to go for the fastest class you can afford. This way, when you plug in the sd card in your computer you will be able to load it up quickly.
I really don't like waiting to finish a 30gb dump of data due to a slow sd card.

[Q] Maximum support size 64 or 128gb micro sd?

Hello,
As the title asks. Does anyone know if a 128 gb micro SD card will work in the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact? I ask because I know that usually, the limit these machines can handle is 64gb. And if so, does anyone use a 128GB card, and which one would you suggest? Many thanks for your time in reading this post and answering.

According to Sony spec. it supports up to 128 GB SDXC. Unfortunately I did not double check on my device.
Yes 128 works good on this baby
do you know if it supports uha-1 speeds?
Yes, i have 128gb class 10 and it works a charm.
I think your question is UHS1 OR 3 etc...
Mine is class 10 UHS1 and it is ok.
Any class 10 should be good enough, and if it has UHS rating, it is faster than those without UHS classification.
FYI, mine is Sandisk ultra.
Guys don't ever get sandisk ultra 64gb. I had 3 of their cards which was purchased at the same time and unfortunately it failed. The issue is rampant on their 64gb ultra (google Sandisk ultra cannot delete files). My micro sd suddenly became a read only device. Files are intact but i cant modify contents which means i cannot do format erase and anything. Practically it became a useless card. Already did windows low level format, tried to check drive permissions and it was not set in read only, no virus. The writting controller chip just broke down. for those who are planning to buy a card and have their cameras and their 4K vids automatically save in the sd card, then don't buy sandisk (at least The 64gb ultra). It seems their cards can't take much writing before it breaks

It's a shame you can't move any apps to the SD card, I have the LTE version and 16GB isn't enough space when you have a few games installed.

Need help with SD cards

I want to buy a Micro SD card for my Z2. I know that the Z2 supports Micro SD cards up to 128 gb. But Sandisk has a 200 gb Micro SD card, and will it work with Z2? And does Z2 support UHS? I want the largest storage place and the fastest speed.

I have a UHS 1, 64GB SD card by SanDisk (I know it isn't the 200 like you asked) and that works quite well.
I'm sure you have looked into SD card speeds (or have knowledge about them), but if you don't the UHS class 3 is the fastest.
I'm guessing to be able to use the 200GB one you would have to partition it, however I aren't entirely sure.

My SD card works perfectly at UHS 1, no random unmounting problems or anything. I've attached a quick benchmark of the read/write speeds on it.

I have a Samsung 128GB EVO SD Card, which is UHS Class 1 and it works very well indeed, I will also attach a benchmark for your reading pleasure :good:
P.S: I should add that my Xperia Z2 still thinks that using the SDCard (Internal) is better for 4K camera than the external SDCard1 (Samsung EVO), assuming the internal is much faster as it is on-board chip.
UHS-1 or Class 10, are very similar with write speeds on Z2. I have tested UHS-1 and UHS-3 cards, the difference is about 12mb/s in write speeds on Z2!!!!
I have UHS-3 and I record 4K video directly on SD without any delay in saving, reading or writing! The inbuilt 16GB as well as my Sony UHS-3 card have same speeds in writing.

As previously stated 128GB
I am using a Sony branded 64gb. I had a PNY 64gb and it had problems in this phone and two others. So I am staying away from PNY from now on.
I saw that there are 256gb micro sd cards. Is it fake or it can be real?
Yep and they only have up to 200GB

I have a sandisk 128 gb cx class 10 in my z2 and all works flawless
I'm looking at a Samsung SD card from Amazon Canada. Most likely 128gb. The only reason I'm leaning toward Samsung is because they're water, dust, xray, magnet, shock, everything proof. And they have great reviews.
Every card of UHS-3 category is fine. Sony or Samsung or Strontium, all work well. Maximum writing speed on Z2 won't be more then 20mbps in any condition.

Thanks for the info, I was bit confused with this UHS thingy.
Any phone can read/write upto 1TB
Sent from my D6502 using XDA Forums PRO
So does the phone really support UHS - Class 3?
I have this sd card on xperia z2 but for some odd reason its causing the phone to reboot. I don't know if its the sd card issue or the the phone. The phone wasn't able to write some of the data on it during my last tour during photographing. A lot of the stuff was corrupted. I came home and wrote stuff on it and everything is being written without a problem via those sd card usb adapters. Anyone know what might be going on?
Any card above UHS-1 is useless as Z2 won't be able to get read/write speeds on UHS-2 or higher.
However they will be useful if you frequently copy data from PC to card with a card reader.
Anyone tried 200/256 GB card?
GSMArena states that Z2 can support up to 256GB (info by them or Sony), but here You wrote that officially it's max 128.
Thinking about buying one, but it will be in a week or two, so maybe someone tried and can say it works or not before I will test it by myself?

Micro SD Card 400GB, will it work?

I want to change my 256GB MicroSD card to a 400GB one but my supplier says it won't work in the M5.
I don't think there is a reason why it shouldn't but has anyone tried a 400GB and can confirm it's working?
works fine in mine. i have never had an issue putting in a larger sd card no matter that the manufacturer said was compatible
It works..but without root it's totally unnecessary cause huawei doesn't allow "app2sd"
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/help/apps-to-sd-t3795227
i do have mine rooted. I never bother to move apps to the sd card. I do however keep a 100gb of music, tons of video, and like to keep twrp backups for a long time. So it is easy to run out space on a 256gb card.

Like the previous poster I also like to fill up my SD card with lots of music and other data for offline use.
My 256GB card only has 218GB usable storage when formatted with ext2FS instead of the expected 238GB.
Why is that?

All my tablets and phones are rooted, so I can't say 100%. ...but at least 99% sure it won't make a difference.
Usually vendors are listening supported sd cards available at the moment of the device release. Over the years, I'm using high capacity sd cards in many devices which are not supporting them officially. Never had an issue. Only couple of times had to format it in the device itself.
