Wildfire SD card

I am planning to replace my 2GB class 2 microSD card, and came across to this Kingmax 8GB class10.
I am wondering if Wildfire can actually supports class 10 microSD card?

I dont see why not.

whats the point for class 10? Oo
such a waste of money.. my god...
unless its a 700$ camera dont do that Oo
take class 4...
and 16gb

See something about class 10. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741060
I have class 4, 8GB and phone is quite fast. I think that class number is not that important, but 2 and 8 GB is big diference.

It should work but one thing you might want to check into. Most class 10 cards have a excellent write but slow read. Personally, I think you're better off with a class 6 to get the best of both read and writes.

I have an 8gb class 4 and that works fine for me

Just upgraded to a 8gb class 4 a few days ago and working great so far with openfire

Just bought a Kingston 8gb class 4, works fine!

I use 8gb left from my nokia e51, just formated it. Works fine.

Upgraded to a 16gb class 4 card. I'm getting transfer speeds of 8 to 10 mbps when copying stuff from my comp. Apps like poweramp work smoothly whereas with the 2gb card that came with the phone, playback was a bit choppy.

Suitable Memory Card???

I am planning to buy a memory card for my Galaxy 3.
I already have a Class 2 8GB card which I will give to my father.
So I was looking for a better memory card this time.
I have following 3 options right now.
8 GB class 10 : Rs 700/-
16 GB class 6 : Rs 1100/-
32 GB class 4 : Rs 1950/- (Probably not worth it)
I was actually looking for 32 GB class 10 within 2000 but not available. or even if it is available, It wont be affordable for me.
I would like some developers like Dharam, Hillbeast, Naveen or Kyrillos to suggest me what should I go for.
I am planning to use 2GB a2sd partition & 256MB swap on it.
How about Class 6 performance? Would I miss something if I go for the 16GB card?
Meaning, do I really need a class 10 card for a2sd and swap?
If anyone from India can direct me to some better deals than above 3 then I would be thankful.

Get the 8GB class 10 card.

32 GB class 4

Worst choice. The sd card is slow so app2sd will be slow and you won't even use 32GB of space. Class 10 is fastest so you will be fine since you want to partition 2GB

I bought a samsung 8 GB class 6 microsd card from ebay-dot-in for around 500 Rs.It does not seem to lag, but sdtools my transfer speeds are 6 Mbps read and 4 Mbps write, which is the same as what i was getting earlier with a class 4 verbatim. These speeds were checked after setting the buffer to 2048 KB.

I think our phones have a certain limit on SD card read and write speeds

I feel like I need the 16 GB class 6.
btw I am getting 6 Mbps read 5 Mbps write (buffer = 4096 KB) on class 2 Transcend. Isn't that weird??? (I actually opened up to see. It is class 2 indeed!!)

Dont go for 32 gb - You are phone will get hang up
Use how much you required .I guess 16Gb is sufficient

[Q] 16GB class 2 vs. 32 GB class 4

I currently have 16 GB class 2, and i am about to but 32GB class 4.
what is the diffrences beetween them ?
The games will work smother with class 4?

I have a 32 GB class 10 micro sd card, bit I didn't really notice any difference in speed compared to the 8 GB class 2 micro sd that came with the phone...
Sent from my R800i using XDA

The class rating of an Sd card is based of off its Write speed. So a 16gb class 2 would write at 2mb per second, the 32 gb class 4 will be able to write at 4mb per second, There is a slight "catch" however when using larger storage Sd cards, its been explained to me in the past that when you go up in storage it takes the device (phone, pc, camera ect.) longer periods of time to initially read the card itself because its now reading through more storage space then before (even if that space is empty in places).
With that in mind, the 32gb class 4 will Write files to it self at a faster speed then the 16gb class 2, but it will take your phone longer periods of time to access the information on the larger Gb card, so will games play smoother off your Sd card, technically no, they wont. But what you will achieve are faster data transfer rates when moving files to and from.
Also take into account that the class rating system isnt exactly perfect. For instance my 32gb class 4 is rated to write at 4mb per second, but its achieved 6mb per second depending on the files, and Im currently using a 32gb class 10 which most of the time writes data at 12mb per second.
I hope this helps

I think the best would be those samsung or sandisk ultra class6 cards.

I'm using a Samsung 32gb class10 "high speed series" as marketed per Samsung, it works very well. But what works for me isn't always for everyone

I just bought one of these a couple weeks ago, it was $29.95 free shipping but its still a great price and its getting consecutaively around 7-8mbps. I replaced my 32gb Sandisk class 4 with it... I had the $$ and figured why not.

Why don't you just bought class 10 SD card..?
How much the price different between class 4 and class 10 btw...?

I dont wanna start a you know what measuring contest here but . . .
Samsung "High Speed Series" I bought from ebay 38$
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-32G...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item2c61981fc1
10-12 mb's per second
Even though Samsung it's selling for 80$ direct from manufcaturer, heres the specs link from their site

There was some other thread around where people found that class10 cards had higher latency and slower access times than the class4 ones. So they're not really suited for mobile phones where quick data access is more important than high transfer rates.

I still believe storage size has a greater effect on access time then the class rating, classes are read/write speeds but more space takes longer time to read. The class itself being suitable, depends more upon the manufacturer of the sd card, and the manufacturer of the device and the device its being used in. A 4gb class10 is going to give you great performance in your device where as a 32gb class10 will indeed function a little slower but depends if you need all that space or not. I'm no expert but that has been my experience.

Yeah, I have that card too and it's a big improvement from my prior 16GB class2 Sandisk card

Would it hurt an sd card to bump up the read/write speed beyond what the card is rated for?

It will decrease its "lifespan" but probably won't kill it, I think the apps2sd script bumps things up drastically and I didn't have any troubles for the while I was using it, but the SD card manufacturer and its class might have some effects on the bumped up lifespan .. probably good to at least make sure you have a spare!

I indeed have a spare one that I am using in my OG droid. Lol. I use that phone as an ipod touch like device. Too bad I don't have a sim card because I'm on cdma. If I were, then I could use my OG droid when I want to use a slimmer phone that has a physical keyboard. However, SwiftKey has me not missing my physical keyboard.

What Class SD Card is best for SPEED/SMOOTHNESS for DATA 2 SD CARD SETUP ROMS

Also, whats an easy way to find out what Class your SD card is?

It is written in on the card itself.
Why two threads? This is not a news group.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2

The higher the class, the faster the card, max = class 10.

Class 6 card should be fine for speed and will cost less than a class 10 card which is only needed for speed freaks.

Just look on your card! On my Sandisk 16GB microSD there is an open circle with a number (4), this number is the speed-class!
Recommended for the Desire is Class 4 or 6, Class 10 seems to be incompatible with Desires Hardware and produces lags!

I use a 16 GB Trancend class 6 and it works perfectly. My 6 GB class 6 card was way faster though.
By the way, the method of A2SD used is also very important. SenseEvolution was a lot slower on my HTC desire than Mildwild and both use A2SD, though in a different manner.

I'd recommend a Transcend Class 6 for Data2SD

Im currently using Marange's MIUI V4 rom latest version 2.5.18

the rom is really fast and pretty darn stable but every time i open an app that downloads alot of data or is larger i have to wait from 5-15seconds for the menus to pop up, its basically just waiting at black or white screen, i believe this to be because of my sd card but im not sure... alot of apps are normal but some like facebook is the worst and whats app takes about 5-8seconds to open up fully aswel...
is there anything i can do ? i have a 16gb sd card

I have testet with benchmark and found, that the class 10 card has no more speed as the class 4 card. So what, i use the low budget but high capacity class 4 card 32 gb.

Thanks for your observations which are probably useful to someone interested in those kind of roms, but when you say something is...

Because sdcard and it's class is only one part of the coin. You have random i/o and phones memory controller. Any of the links in chain not working as expected (to be taken relatively as Desire was not intended to use >class6) and you'll get crappy speeds.

Even class2 runs fine for me and it is faster than the specification since it does anywhere betweeen 3-5mg/sec instead of only two.

Class 10 micro sd card with app2sd?

Hello,
I swapped my internal memory with ext data using Mounts2SD app.
And as I did this, I have less memory on my data partition so I decided that I will buy new micro sd card.
I was looking at some forums, and if I got it right, best card to use when you have swapped memories is class 6 because class 10 isn't working well with Desire.
I was wondering if this is true, so I am hoping to get some feedback from you
Cheers, bundo111

I had a class 6 and now use a class 10 card...AFAIK the desires transfers are limited to class 6 so wouldn't benefit from a faster card....personally I feel that roms felt smoother on the class 6
