Will this work with our Photons?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lexar-32GB-...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1318161717&sr=1-1
The price isn't half bad plus it has free shipping. Also, class 10.
Interested if anyone's using one in their photons or anything similar (32gb class 10).
I have a class 6 16GB in mine. WOrks decently. From what I recall the higher the class the quicker it will work, etc etc. And I think for the most part an SD card is an SD card, so if the price is right, and you NEED that much room, get it.
yup. as long as card is genuine it should work.
Thanks guys. That's what I needed to hear!
and yes I do need that much space ^^
@devil:
lexar has good quality products.
when you buy plz share your experience.
Haha. Cool Man. Let us know how it goes.

Be very carefully when buying these types of items from amazon.
I wanted a 32gb SD card also. Did a lot of web searching for the best price. Found a sandisk 32gb on amazon for about 30 bucks. I jumped all over it. When they arrrived 2 weeks later from China, it was pretty obvious that they were knock offs. The printed label on the card was missing the class information, and the SD adaptor that came with it had a label that was poorly placed. When I inserted the card, it showed the correct amount of memory, 27gb or thereabouts. But problems appeared when actually using the card. Music synced from comp would appear while still connected to comp, but would dissappear completely when disconnected, or appear, but have a 0 byte file size. When i took pictures, they would appear as green blocks when viewed with gallery.
Just make sure your buying from a reputable dealer.
Also, not sure of your location, but current exchange says that item is $65 US. I bought a 32gb, class 10 from best buy for the same price. So its not that good of a price. Though I can't seem to find one right now, they come and go.
the seller in the devilshadow'S link is amazon itself.
Further, Sandisk,Kingston and memorette has too many fakes.
Have not heard fake card of Lexar or PNY.

I'm in europe so the price is about 50ish Euros for me for the card I linked. Also, i am fully aware of the massive knockoff market when it comes to SD cards. It's part of the reason I chose amazon over Ebay. I've also made sure to check if the SD card i bought has the "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk" status. The user reviews also guarantee it's genuine.
I bought mine straight from Lexar when they were first released. Ran it in the Evo and now in my Photon.
My first one started exhibiting corruption and eventually died (a few months before I got the Photon). Lexar replaced it with minimal hassle and it's been good to go since.

Lost my 16gb Card!!!
I have a missing 16gb that I was using, I lost it when I removed it to unlock my bootloader as a precaution.
Looking to get a 32gb card!!!
OK, I will say this one more time. #1, Not all cards are alike. I have a class 2 32Gb SanDisk that has treated me well, on Fuze, Evo, and Photon. I got a class 6 32Gb knock-off for the speed BUT, after we ran the test, my SanDisk blew it away by over 50% speed wise.
Next, I noticed by playing with others phones (Hey, I like to play with phones?), depending on what your doing, is different. For example, playing music or playing a game. Games, I found, need higher I/O than music.
I just bought a 32gb lexar class 10 for $60 at best buy. Im in canada right now. Future shop had a sale, they were sold out. I printed it out and best buy gave me the same deal. My advice is becareful online, there are lots fake cards. Look for sales from a reputable retailer.

Will our Photon support one of the new 64GB cards like this one?
http://amzn.com/B005VFG0B2
According to our phone's specifications, that is a firm "No".
Do NOT waste your money buying one, unless you have another device that can support it. It will not work on the Motorola Photon 4G, or the Motorola Electrify.
As far as I know the new Samsung Galaxy Note is the only phone out that supports that card.

How much more does the sdxc part cost vs the sdhc? I think we'll be good on the sdxc spec for a while, the size limit is 2TB.
The bad reviews are supposedly from an old batch of cards that had bad firmware. They are said to have resolved the issues. It's a very good price if you don't mind dealing with the rebate. And from what I've read, if you do get a bad one, they are very good about replacing it. Here's the link.

No more rebate. :'(
As an FYI I bought a Lexar 16Gb class 10 micro SD card from future shop for $20. It was a part of their boxing day sales. should still be on like that till the end of the week if you can find them in stock.
I do however live in canada so i dont know if that makes a difference.
The 32GB lexar card was on for $30.
EDIT: the 32gb card was class 10 as well...
Still has a $10 mail in rebate

edit didnt notice the rebate but still only 1.28 more for a better brand and u dont have to deal with rebate to get that 1.28 saveings
That's a class 2/4 instead of 10.
Costco has 5 dollars off coupon in their book that starts on Jan 5. 16 gig class 6 micro sd card. I got one for 10 off on Black Friday there, good card

Not necessarily.
I got mine yesterday and tested it with h2testw. It is in fact a 32gb class 10 card. Whether it breaks down the line is another story, but it is what it claims to be.

Great find and you guys are lucky that have a fry's b&m store nearby. I ended up buying this micro sdcard for 49.99 at microcenter's b&m store and that was on sale, oh well it seems like a great card so far.
Can you swap the external card while the phone is still on? Or do you need to shut it off first?

Did you test your card using H2testw (http://mympx.org/Downloads/p13_sectionid/2/p13_fileid/13) to ensure it is genuine? Let us know.

Ok at work will do it when I get home, semi-noob I should see 32GB at 10 MB/s correct? Running the test right now, no looking good, 3.69 MB/s on 29.6 GB, guess I have to go back to the guy on Ebay and let him know I want the card he sold me........
Can someone run a speed test on the unit they received from Frys too?
I want to buy this but I'm always wary about the actual speeds in these SD cards.
I have the 32gb from fry's it comes in a legit samsung package and this is what I got for read/write

Hello,
Not that many of us Photon Owners are lacking for Storage, but this deal for the 32gb SD Card is so good that I figured it was worth bringing to everyone's attention.
Here is the link:http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDHC-Flash-Memory-SDSDQM-032G-B35/dp/B004G60AD6/
There are multiple options, but this one is eligible for Free Shipping for Amazon Prime Members and I think anyone whereas some of the others have $4.99 Shipping.
Cheers,
JJ
Not to jack this, I got my 64Gb card from NEWEGG for $99.00!
Wow. Newegg has some insane prices. They are great in that they are Authorized Dealers for everything they sell, but their Return Policy is pretty brutal should there be a need for a Return/Exchange. With an SD Card, that is certainly not an issue, but on the AV Forum where I am a Moderator we have had Members with horror stories when AVR's come damaged or they simply want to Return it, That is a sick price for a 64gb SD Card.
I thought the photon could only take up to 32gb external storage? Is there a way to make 64gb work? I could easily max out my 32gb card if i put some more music on it.

There is instructions here someplace but, put card in reader (or slot on your desktop if you have one?) put reader in SDHC on computer and type:
format /FS:NTFS G:
replace 'G' with whatever drive your computere assigns the card. Go to media player and move your playlist, movies, whatever, then put in photon.
I bought one of these a couple weeks ago. Works great, but file transfers are kinda slow since it's a class 4.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Bought one and when it arrived, it had pictures from the previous owner of whatever it came out of. It had pics of a funeral and a wedding
The seller I got it from was CTCstore and I'll be sending it back tomorrow for a replacement. I tried to erase the contents and formatted it 3 times and every time the pics came back(and no it wasn't write protected). Weird

Hello,
That looks mighty intriguing. SanDisk makes a quality product, but I must say that Samsung appears to shame it. As for the 64gb SD Card, I honestly thought it was for a different application and not for the Photon. It too thought 32gb's was all it could handle...
Cheers,
JJ
I just bought a 32 GB Lexar card that's very hit or miss from Amazon last week. I should have waited!
using this for my other phone used up all my phone storage last week and this is a great deal!

Dude so what who cares it's just a thread
Thats a decent deal. For microSD cards, if you pay $1 or less PER GB, thats considered a deal.

what class are the MSD cards? any possible links?
Not sure the rules on links.. but the card in question is here.
It's a Class 4 SDHC ... read 15 MB/second.. write is slower. Doesn't identify how much. Shown as "$50 off" and on sale til May 15.

A 64gb microsdhc card on eBay for ~$60 shipped from Hong Kong...... not sure if you are aware of this but the majority of these "too good to be true" deals on eBay for microsdhc cards from Asia are fake.
Don't be surprised if it is a counterfeit when you get it. I do not recommend anyone buy microsdhc cards from eBay. There are a lot of fakes out there and most importantly manufacturers will not honor your warranty if something were to go wrong with the card.
Be smart people, spend the extra money and buy from a reputable vendor like newegg, Amazon, bestbuy, staples, etc. You will thank yourself later.

I would advise caution, and use a reputable ebay seller. Mine deserved his 5 stars review from me. I watched 50+gigs of video files get copied and show up and play, so I know I wasn't scammed. It is a genuine red-and-gray Sandisk.
But I won't speak for anyone else's lack of pre-research.
$65 bucks for a 64gb card is outstanding... and lucky for me, I am patient; years of cool and cheap goodies from dealextreme.com under my belt in preparation.
Example: picked up an outstanding leather case for my Note with the drawstrap built in, cost all of $2.60 and shipped for free. Those guys don't seem to care about losing money shipping small items from Hong Kong free.
(no, I did not buy the card from dx.com)
I agree, know what kind of seller they are before making the purchase. eBay isnt all that bad, ive bought hundreds of stuff on there and never got scammed. *knocks on wood*. Also, if you use paypal, you can always dispute an item.
