Hi All
Just ordered my new o2 orbit 2. Upgrading from my orbit 1.
I'm assuming it's still a tiny micro-SD card. Does anyone know what the largest capacity card that is supported by the orbit 2 ?
Jeff
how about something like ?

Theoretically the HTC Polaris can support MicroSD up to 2GB and MicroSDHC up to 32 GB cards. Anyway in this moment the maximun capacity I've seen is MicroSDHC 8 GB cards (I've a 8 GB Sandisk and it works perfect), so don't worry...

Guess what you get if you search for 'memory card size' on the polaris forums ( advanced search ) ?
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms
It doesn't even pick up my new post.
I did search before I posted, always do. Sorry if you find it dull that i've posted a question that I could not find an answer to but that's what I thought these forums where for...
The 6GB card you linked to will be fine, and importantly it is supplied with an SDHC capable reader for the USB slot on the PC.
The Orbit 2/ Polaris can go up to a capacity of 32GB (if you can find cards this large at the moment they would be very costly) - 8GB are certainly available and I have seen 16GB is about to be released (might already be available, at a price) - Mike
MicroSD SDHC drawbacks?
Considering operation specifically for the Touch Cruise, are there any reasons to forgo (to do without) the additional capacity of the SDHC to gain greater than class 4 or 6 speeds (ie: sandisk ultra II microsd with read/write speads of 10/9 m/s)? Would these greater speeds help significantly with video playback or rendering pictures, or would one advise that the difference is negligible and definitely not worth giving up the excess storage potential?
I bought an 8GB Sandisk microSDHC class 4 (with microreader included) for 52 euros. Installed Tomtom Maps of Western Europe on the card and several movies (created with CloneDVD Mobile). Tomtom 6.032 as well as the movies played with Coreplayer 1.1.3 are running smooth. Hence class 4 should be fast enough.
Thanks
Appreciate the comment. I'll have to check out that clonedvd mobile software.
i bought an 8gb sandisk one on ebay for 45$. i was dissapointed though that the built in "all in one" card reader on my crappy ass dell xps m1210 laptop can't read sdhc. still a good purchase though, filled up to 6 gb so far with music and gps maps, etc. i do not notice any performance issues with sdhc.

The fastest speed of Sandisk MicroSd SDHC is class 4, wonder where you did find Ultra II?
Applications like Tomtom will run better (smoother) using a faster MicroSD card, the fastest speed I could find so far is Class 4. As soon as there is a faster card available I will go for it, as long as it is at least 8GB.
I've seen 12GB ones for sale. Would say TC can't use more than class 2, f/s video doesn't use that much!
There's plenty threads about problems recognizing 8GB cards tho, that suddenly it ;becomes; 2GB?

What do you mean with TC can't use more than class 2
The faster the accesstime to the MicroSd card the better the overall performance. If class 6 becomes available I will go for it
I am using a Sandisk 8GB SDHC cards which is a class 4 and it works fine.

I use the same card and I am happy with it, however, an application like Tomtom is depending on a lot of data transfer between the card and the application. I contacted Tomtom to figure out how to get a smooth working screen and the answer was, processor speed and data transfer speed of the card. In my previous equipment, a Mio A201 PDA, I replaced the 60X SD card with a 150X SD card and Tomtom run much smoother.

I thot it only affects sustained transfer. Burst/accesstime are something else.

SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC 16GB SDSDQY-016G-E11M
I had a new Class 4 16GB Micro SD Card delivered yesterday after one of my cards failed.
Speed was markebly improved over the old Class 2 cards I have. Data transfer was particularly impressive!
The card is a little pricey £££ and I could have replaced the faulty card with another cheaper Class 2 but thought I'd give the "Ultra" card from Scandisk a go.
I watch a lot of video (on the train on the way into work in London - Heroes, Battlestar Callactica etc !!!) and speed is important - especially for standard DivX with no additional compression! Any lag I had previously has now gone - Very impressed....
I ordered the card from Amazon - link below - and although it states 3-4 days for delivery it arrived next day.....
Here>>> Amazon.co.uk
ScanDisk Official details can be found >>HERE<<
.
Are you getting any skipping/jumping/pausing of music with this card? I would be interested to hear especially with your rom as I did get such problems with my class 2 16gb card and same rom (Dutty 2.3). I've just flashed my old Polaris to 3LIT3 VI Suite and am now getting the problems on this device which I never used to. Hence my theory about the card being the cause of the problem.
Will be interested to hear.
Thank you.
Wow, that is certainly impressive. I presume you're using CorePlayer to play the vids? And no lag at all? Awesome.
PS: To Galactica... best ship in the Fleet.
I've had the card for a few days mow and have just returned from London and can confirm that the video playback is greatly improved. I'm using CorePlayer - I used to get some ghosting (phasing) and the odd skip but now its very smooth indeed.
custardo01 With regard to music - I have never had an issue playing music so cant comment on why your experiencing a problem - I'd recommend copying an audio file onto the main solid state drive (device) and play from there to confirm its a problem with the card before purchasing a new one though?
Arthenik .....Galactica - Absolutely - watched the 2 hour final episode yesterday (on the HD) fantastic but such a shame its over!!!!
.
Well, I guess I'll have to get one too. I'm really impressed by your reactions.
Regarding Galactica, I watched the finale on air and then subsequently at a local Frak Party. Both times were frakkin' awesome. And yeah, I'll really miss the show a lot.

Hello,
Could you bench the read/write speed of your card with a tools like SKTOOLS
It would help me a lot to make my choice.

Palmde - I'll try to find some time this weekend to benchmark but as per previous posts I am very impressed - especially with viewing uncompressed video!
.
Thank's a lot for your help Blob8me.
I own already a SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC 8GB and i am very hapy about it: I can watch most of my movies on my HD, without to re-encode them.
I hope that the 16GB version will be at least as good.
So I am waiting your results.
£38.99 including delivery here. They say it's class 4 ?
Just asking but where the hell do you need class 4 microsdhc?
class 4 means it writes 4mb/sec VIDEO to same place in card, so datastream stays healthy for camera usage for example 1080p HD CAMERA.
It doesnt mean it only works that slow. Our HD cannot even match those speed anywhere near. And second these phones do not use that kind of file management to save continuous file stream.
For example I have kingston class 2 and it writes 12mb/sec when using cardreader on PC.
Or example 2 so people really understands. There is SDHC card from sandisk which is Extreme III 30mb/s edition. That is only class 6 card. And it still writes as fast as 30mb/sec. Ive tested this and can confirm since I have those on my DSLR camera.
So question is why do you pay MORE for NOTHING?
Dont read class number, read what it writes and reads per second its what you want to know.
Edit: Ofcourse bigger class means it can be better but class number doesnt tell its real speed. since class number is for continuous data (video writing)
Hi everybody
I just got my phone yesterday and after inserting my class 2 16gb the phone asks me where i want to save pictures when taken with the camera. Any of you with performance "tests" regarding this so far?
Best regards
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
class 2 will defininitely not work with HD recording. correct me if im wrong. photo's are okay for that but if you will gonna load pictures in the gallery app i can guarantee you there will be some latency in loading thumbnails.

In your position I would save them on the internal card. As you probably know it will offer a faster transfer rate than the external SD card, especially as your sd card is class 2.
I doubt this will have an impact when taking single shots, but features like burst mode may suffer. Videos are very unlikely to work smoothly.
As your internal memory will have 16gb or more of space I dont see the downside. You can always use a file manager to copy files to the external card if problems arise.
If you are tempted by a faster SD card then this one seems to be universally regarded as the best. In case you are not sure about SD cards class system, an explanation can be found here.
Over the years I've owned about every brand of cards from eBay cheapo's to the best the industry has to offer like Samsung. I shoot HD wedding videos, take millions of pictures and edit so micro SD cards have been a necessity.
It just dawned on me today when I was looking at the mountain of SD cards I have in my office and realizing the life span on all the cards I've used over the years. Therefore, I'd like to share my experience along with asking those who are knowledgeable in the area of memory cards to help answer some of my questions.
I shoot HD videos and take lots of pictures on my Note 3 so having a reliable card is very important to me. Currently I'm locked and loaded with a 64GB | Class 10 | SanDisk microSDXC UHS-I card in my Note 3. (I also have a Samsung 64GB PRO Micro SDXC | Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MG64DA/AM), which I use in my Canon Video Camera and it is by far the best card out there. Period.)
The 6 most reliable cards that I've owned throughout the years: (Best to Worst)
Samsung
A-Data (Samsung chip, go figure. However, they are highly likely Samsungs '2nd hand' chips as they are not as fast as the actual Samsung brand labeled chips.)
PNY
SanDisk
Kingston / Sony (tie)
Transcend
It's not worth listing the other non-brand ebay junk so I've left those out.
Lately, I've been very disappointed with SanDisk's quality. Especially with their Class 10 cards, where I have found them to have a very weak 'integrity' in their chips. A good card should give you about a million write cycles. (Write cycles is a whole another can of worms...)
I have had more failed SanDisk's (lemons) cards than any other brands combined. This is why I will never buy SanDisk again and am switching to what has never failed me, Samsung. I can't afford the chaos and hate having to recover priceless wedding pictures from a card who decides to kick the bucket when you need it the most.
Recently my 64GB | Class 10 | SanDisk in my Note 3 decided to go belly up and I had to use a data recovering software to salvage all my 4,000 pictures and hundreds of HD video's. WTH right? This card is a couple months old. My previous SanDisk in my old Note 2 did the same thing after a couple of months.
ME, MYSELF AND MICRO SD CARDS...
With a new card I reformat it to Fat32 with Disk Utility (Mac) and then pop it in my device.
Since I take a lot of pictures / videos, I connect my phone to my computer (Android File Transfer, works flawlessly on Mac), copy over everything to my hard drive, back it up again if it's important and then properly eject the phone/card. I've always read and heard from camera guru's that it's best to reformat your card from the device instead of deleting the pictures in the folder from your computer while it's still connected. Therefore, after copying over the pictures/videos I would immediately eject and delete directly from the phone. The 'theory' surrounding this is that if you leave your card connected to your computer, it will access (checking byte order/changes) the directory more times than you would want it to thereby decreasing the life expectancy of the card.
Now of course it's not convenient or practical by no means to do this every day with your Note 3...most people just plug in and play with no problems whatsoever throughout the life of the card.
QUESTIONS FOR THE GEEKS
Explain the difference in the structural integrity of the internal SD card vs external SD card.
How much more life expectancy / write cycles does the internal card have vs an external card?
For a heavy user like me I have always put everything on the external card to avoid using the internal memory as much as possible avoiding unnecessary stress.
How often should the external card be reformatted for a heavy user like me where I'm constantly copying over, deleting, etc...
To be continued...
I don’t know about card in deep technically but all I learned so far, generally cards these days have very long life span, at least average 10 years, unless physically damaged or any uncommon technical issues.
I too concerned about this too earlier but now technology is so fast upgrading you shouldn’t worry about its life span. Technically what I know its life span also depends on it read and writings like you said and even if your car had heavy use then there is no point to formatting it frequently. Card is not like windows which creates junk files by time. Deleting and formatting does the same thing and both will free up same space if you delete all, where formatting read or write more data than deleting. So formatting frequently could reduce its life but that could be unnoticeable. The same way defragmenting, shredding also reduces its life. But shredding is good if I lost it any other couldn’t restores any private files.
So I think there have no logic to format it frequently to keep it healthy, unless its corrupted.
By technology is so fast upgrading what I mean is like, few years back I brought a new phone and brought the best card at that time, it was Samsung 32GB class 6. It was best on the market during that time. But then class 10, pro, plus released. Then when I got note 3 I had already a 32 GB card but I brought a class 10 pro one due to the HD recording. So after 5 years from now even if this card is working I will still have to buy a new one, as there will be far better technically upgraded one. I hope I make sense.
And I too use Internal memory very less, as loads on internal memory make the phone slower.
Thanks for the reply. I agree that with a decent name brand of a card, the life expectancy shouldn't be too much of a worry. My experience with SanDisk has been pretty poor in that I don't think they make cards with good quality material. As mentioned, the structural integrity is very weak. Their older cards were better. The newer ones in my opinion and from my experience have to be treated with a mentality of 5 years ago, because they do wear noticeably.

I know that feel of losing data, I have had 3 64 GB SanDisk cards die since January - right now I am using a 8GB. sad n true
Wow, sorry to hear. That sucks. Then again, you've verified my point even further about how crappy SanDisk cards have become.
Let your next card be a Samsung. I'm weeding out my stock of cards, heck I've given some away already.
Here's the best: Samsung 64GB PRO Micro SDXC | Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MG64DA/AM)
I use it in my Canon and it's extremely fast.

I never used any SanDisk card on phone, only Samsung cards so I’ve no personal experience and I’ve seen many user complains about its compatibility and issues on Samsung device. However I’ve been using a SanDisk high-speed MMC card on my Nikon SLR over last 5 years and still its performing great.
I believe Samsung cards works great in Samsung devices. So far only one card got damaged many years back and that was a stock Nokia card.
I currently have a 64gb sandisk class 10 in my phone I always used sandisk and never had a issue. I can't say the same for kingston. I found out it doesn't mess up when you unmount it when taking it out. I never did that before and they got messed up even if it did get messed up warranty is always there.
currently using the sandisk extreme plus 64gb card with no issues whatsoever. will update this thread once it crap out on me (it probably will in about 6 months) and how the warranty process goes.
I had a 32Gb Sandisk Extreme die in my Galaxy Note 3 while recording 4k video on to it.
Without a compatibility list and guarantee from Samsung, I am reluctant to buy another high end microsd card.
I am sick of these SD Cards. In my Galaxy S3, the thing would ocassionally take a dump and have to be reformatted.
Now I just restarted the Note 3, and boom, card took a dump.
I think I'm going to just live without.
Sandisk has always been reliable for me, apparently there are only 4-5 chip manufacture, and majority of a-data's card are rebadged from sandisk, same goes with transcends, whiles kingston are with toshiba, and PNY is a mix of sandisk and toshiba.
For data recovery and/or SD card repair, had anyone given Spin Rite a try?
I've been using a UHS-I 16GB Team card in my phone, been pretty reliable so far and gets pretty quick read/write speeds. Also been using a 32GB UHS-I Samsung card in my Sony NEX-5T camera, also been having no issues.
Just had my first Warranty experience with SanDisk. My 64 Gig SanDisk Ultra had crapped out by not allowing any write cycle this would not allow for deleting files or format or any changes to card. After a brief chat session on the SanDisk website I had my RMA and got emailed a label to print. My old card was off to SanDisk. 10 days later the new card arrived. This was a good warranty experience. Hope the new card will have more writes.

I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I have my first 64GB microSD on Jan last year. I chose Sandisk because I believe many of tech experts favor them over every other brand. At the time I wasn't at all concerned about its lifespan because I am using it for such a simple task like music storage. By the end of Dec last year, the card refuses to write and format. Folks at Sandisk forum suggested to use SDFormatter, however if you get "write protected" error, your card is not repairable, they say.
I was lucky to get a new one so close to the end of my one-year warranty. But seeing Sandisk cards are getting less reliable these days, I might give Samsung a try if my Sandisk fails again.
Quick question, though: where else does Samsung evo and pro differs beside speed? Does pro have longer lifespan?
Interesting. I've been using Sandisk for well over 10 years in everything from my DSLRs to my phones, never had a single card die on me.
I have owned 3 64GB Samsung MicroSD's over 2014 and they all died within two months.

Lifespan? Didn't know they were supposed to "die", or even wear out, and stop working eventually. Been using this same SD card for the past 2 years, and works like the first day I got it.
Which card and size are you using, if any. I remember reading some time ago that adding a SD card tends to slow the whole phone down in general. This is why I haven't decided to add one yet.

512 Samsung extreme cars and no slow down here.
Same as FuMMoD here and no perceptible slow down.

Well that's good to know. I have a spare brand new SanDisk Extreme Plus intended for my GoPro Hero 8 Black that I might just throw in. It is the red and gold card with ratings of V30 A2 3. This card records 4K on my gopro with no issues, so i assume it can handle the phone flawlessly.
I have an integral 512gb and whilst the general phone performance is fine I get the sense that the card performance is not great, one example is netflix stores downloads on the card and I get a spinning wheel during playback almost as In do if I am streaming
There will definitely be a performance lag but it's only noticeable when accessing the sdcard.
This is due to the ufs3.0 internal and transfer speed of the sdcard.
But tbh it is negligible unless you move apps to sdcard. For me I only store backups and media such as videos and photos to sdcard.
Sent from my SM-G985F using Tapatalk
Unless the card is faulty then I think the phone is the bottleneck anyway, the S20 cannot take advantage for an A2 card for example so no point spending money on a faster card.
Not moving any apps to SD at all. Not even setting it as a default storage for my camera either. I have my default video set to 4K 30fps, and I have a 5 year old that I'm constantly snapping. So you can imagine how quick the internal storage is going to fill up. This is strictly for me to transfer all my videos to.
Same as unomedman1
I only have a 64gb from my old s8 , & it contains my music and all the files needed for Root , titan backup apps & data , apps in apk form & camera pictures.
Internal drive is for downloads & apps & pictures. I'd never install apps to the sd though
Have two S20's with 128gig Sandisk and Kingston SD cards / no issues.
Running my S20 Ultra with a Samsung Evo Plus 512GB. No slowdown as SD card is only for storing videos which I have download. Plays fine too.

@Sleepycat3
Can you record 4k 60 fps with sd card as default camera storage?

I would record to internal storage first, and the move to SD card.

You can't because eventhough you set the SD card as your default camera storage, when you start recording a 4K 60FPS video the camera app will tell you with a message that it will be saved to internal memory.

Nope you cant because its automatically saved on internal storage even you've set it to SD Card as default storage. But its never be a big problem because the A2 SD Card transfer rate are really faster to move yo ur 4K or even 8K videos to your SD Card. But only with atleast A1 or A2 rate MicroSD. In normal MicroSD, it will take a lomg time to move your large files to the external. I'll test the free Samsung Evo+ U3 128gb that i got free from Samsung Galaxy S20 promo when it arrive this week to see the comparison between the both genuine Samsung U3 Evo+ 128GB & Sandisk Extreme Pro A2 128GB and will post it here.

Thanks a lot! Yes, please do the comparison as I am keen to see the results on the S20 ultra. Although, I suspect it would be about the same (going by few the online reviews I found).
Just for kicks, I ran Androbench to test the speed of my Samsung Evo Plus 512GB. It is not too bad compared to cards that I used back in the days of the Galaxy S3. I also ran the test on my internal memory, love the speed of the internal UFS storage. I read that the Note 20 might have even faster internal UFS than the S20.
