I was thinking about upgading my wimpy 2gb microsd card and was wondering if a Sandisk 8gb microsdhc class four is compatible with the Incredible.
Thanks!
Absolutely...before you move anything to the new card format it in the phone.

Okay, thanks for the tip, After doing that is it okay to reformat on my computer if its not fat32?
Yep, formatting on computer is fine, preferred actually, then you can see that it actually works.

Not to hijack but what's the Largest SD card you can run in the Incredible?
I thought I read someone ran a 32Gb but there was a hitch to doing it?
My 8Gb is about maxed out!
I have a 32 gb in mine. Works fine.

Any brand you would recommend? I was thinking about getting class 6 or 10 stuff maybe...
No brand preference here. I think mine is a class 4.

Dang! You maxed it out? I've been running on the 2gb one that came free with mine. Speaking of which, it has no class on it. Does anyone know what class it is?

Stock is somewhere around a class 6 I think... it may vary though. Mine was class 6...
Right now I'm running a 32GB Class 2, it runs great! Not even slow, honestly. It's a SanDisk. Don't be tempted by the cheap Kingston 32GB cards. They're scammy ****. I got one, luckily it was through a reasonable seller who refunded me.If you go for a 32GB, I recommend SanDisk. Buy it through Amazon, it should be about 80 USD.

I would think the stock card would be class 2. But mine didn't come with one. I had to buy one seperate when I bought it. I have a 8GB SanDisk class 2. And its plenty fast. Best to use a SD card reader for the best speed.
I just bought a new SD card for my camera (Canon T3i) and went with a 16GB SanDisk Class 4, and it can handle full 1080P video without filling the camera buffer at all. The class is actually the minimum speed it will write at. The Max is usually much higher. At least with the good cards.

Yeah, my stock 2Gb was a Class 2.
If the card isn't marked, it's a Class 2 card.
Class 4 is generally the slowest you want for decent HD video recording & playback if you do that.
Anyway, I'll check out the SanDisk 32Gb Class 4 and up cards on Amazon, I've been leary about the online MicroSD cards because I've heard about the Chineese fakes too. I heard that A-Data makes a good MicroSD card, what's your thoughts on them?
Is Patriot another cheapo like Kingston?
Thanks!
Has any one try it?
Yes it does.

It supports up to 48GB

It support's 64GB micro sd card also from the looks of it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336961
Also I believe I had also seen a thread where someone use an adapter that combined 2 32micro sd card and it read that fine as 64GB. I believe the limitation for sd card support should be in how much Android itself can support.

Samsung, sandisk, pny, lexar and patriot all have class 8 and 10 floating around the interwebs but the evo doesnt need anything higher than a 6 unless u want to transfer alot of data between your phone and pc since the ohone wont read or right faster than class 6 speeds

They make class 2-10 but the evo just doesnt have the hardware capability of going past true class 6 speeds however most of the new phones can handle class 10 so when u upgrade u wont need a new card if you want your class 10 to perform better in the evo u can force it software wise by using a 2mb /2048kb cache size on the sd card sd speed increase on the market by daniel meriman works good for this and can be set at boot there is a chance of damaging the card or slot by doing this but i havent had any issue yet and ive been tweaking my sd speed for a long time now

What's the best 32gb SD card yo get for the note2? I'm thinking if buying a sandisk mobile ultra micro SD card, Its read speed is UHS speed class 1. Is it a great SD ?

Edit: wake up long afternoon.
UHS 1 is a new standard that is basically the equivalent of Class 10. Will do ya fine.

My Note II is super happy with the Samsung Class 10 32GB I have in there.
Had the SDCard in my last phone, but it seems really "at home" in the Sammy
Is there a noticeable benefit of a class 10 card over a class 6 one on this phablet?

If your not switching your sdcard with your internal one then I doubt you will notice a difference between the 6 and 10 since all apps are stored on the phone.

There is an extremely noticeable difference if you are copying files from your computer. I am always copying a lot of video to and from my card and a 66% increase in write speed saves me a lot of time.

im using a sandisk ultra 64gb sdxc class 10($50) reformatted to fat 32(for TWRP) in 1 note2 and a sandisk 32gb class 2($20) in the other and the write speed when copying videos from my PC is virtually identical......(fast)...is this due to the reformatting?
Can anyone recommend me a 32gig micro sd card? I recently purchase this POS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA26X0PJ1516 from newegg and I'm pissed off at how bad it is. It is advertised with amazing write and read speeds but is nothing near that! It maxes out around 6.6 MB write and 10MB Read speed, WTF. I'm in the process right now for getting a refund and want to get a reliable SD that does not lie about it's speeds. Thanks
Go for the sandisk one. Or if speed is what you want go for there extreme 16 or 32 GB more expensive but boss overall

I see a lot of reports regarding defective SanDisk cards though. Do you own one? If so can you run a speed test and let me know how it performs.

I ended up buying this card by GSkill. It has a lifetime warranty which works awesome even if your card doesn't. Google searches found that they have the best replacement turn around and processing.

Does it really matter on the class, I have always been confused by that.
Yeah as each class gets higher, it means the read and write speeds get faster. Class 2 is the lowest. Class 10 is the fastest. And there's
UHS 1 which is faster then class 10

I'm running a 32gb SanDisk that's labeled UHS 1 but also says class 10.
I had a 8gb that was the same until black Friday when bestbuy had the 32 GB for under $20 with tax.
I've yet to have a SanDisk fail and I abuse my SD cards.

Yeah I think my new SanDisk is like that too. But I got my card way before the holiday season it was $23. I know I saw it at bestbuy for $17 but its 6 bucks. What I really wanted was a 64gb card. Saw it on Amazon for one of the sales for $34. But 32gb is plenty for me for the moment.
The one you got from BestBuy was the extreme or regular?

Yeah it has to do with something relating to 32gb. anything above 32gb has to be formatted diffrrently? I can't remember the exact details about it.
64gb is crazy amounts of space. I only use about 15-20gb. But I've seen some of these apps in the play store go up to 1gb now which crazy for an app.
