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.

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!
Ok so im thinking of buying a 32g sd for this phone cuz i really wanna put all my music on my phone and i have like 10g of music, wondering how well it would work, Ive bought an 8g and 16g sandisk at walmart and both have worked great, anybody using a 32g on their s2?? What kind? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I'm using one... the speed isn't great but for music and videos and also for nandroid backups and such, speed isn't so much of an issue. I got it on sale from Newegg (I think the brand was A-Data or something like that) for $40, but I got it a while ago.
I have a Samsung class 4 32gb and I only have like 3gbs left on it. I have used it for the last few months in my T989 with zero issues
Just bought an 32gb Class 10 Samsung micro SD from Amazon for $50. Swapped it into my phone this morning. No problems, speeds are class 10 or better (see pic using SD tools app).
i have both the 32 GB and currently using the 64 GB as my daily driver
they both runs great
the speed of the SD is not determined by size, but by its quality and Write Speed
there is a sticky with benchmarks you can see which cards performs better

No problem with my 32GB Sandisk. About to jump onto the 64GB train
32gb all the way!
I bought 2 x 32GB cards (1for my GS2 and 1 for my gf's GS2) 28 each on ebay... Class 4 though, but works awesome. Great for titanium backups/music...going on vacation prob buy a 64GB for vid and pics.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming 128 GB microSD later this year
hope the prices are not insane, the price for the 64 GB i paid last year was pretty crazy already, if the 128 GB cost more than $300 i think i'll pass
I have a Samsung 32GB class 10 that I bought at frys for like a total of 35$ and havent filled it up. I put all my apps like mc3 asphalt 6 and all those big games on my sd card. And then I have like 16GB of music on my ext card and the rest I just use it for like nandroids, roms and theme back ups and and place for some video recording.

That's only a class 4. There were a couple deals with higher classes for around the same price. I would suggest going at least class 6. I think the max that our phone writes is 8? Not sure on that one.. I have a class 10 but i normally use a usb adapter to transfer files which is blazing fast compared to the data cable way.

I know the card would work, just curious how much of a difference it makes. I have read many things online, and all seem positive. Not that the phone needs to perform any better.
Pretty much everyone I have seen is getting one of those. I think you just have to make sure you format it a certain way (don't remember right off the top of my head) to avoid any headaches. I ordered a 64gb one off amazon last night for 38 bucks.
I believe it's the data transfer speed and because you're mainly using it for music, apps and photos, it should be great. The higher class is for dslr photography.

I bought the 64GB one off Amazon a few weeks back. Came formatted exfat out of the box. I used a card reader to load it with movies and media. No problems so far in my device, HD videos record perfectly.

Been useing a Class 1U 64g since I got the Note2. Automatically recognised and formatted to exFat . Samy put a proprietary module in the kernel that allows this. Very handy and pepy speeds.

I got a 64GB SanDisk that I formatted to FAT32 and it works perfect. If there's a MicroCenter near you then you could get a good deal on a micro sd. The SanDisk I bought was 55 at MicroCenter and 100 at BestBuy.
This one works for me:

most people around here recommend the Samsung... because SanDisk had a bad batch of microSD cards... and even they accepted it... that said I have a SanDisk 64gb and it's working flawlessly so far...

I followed this method when I bought my sandisk ultra 64gb card. Somehow when I format with my PC it only recognizes it at 32gb. Tried with windows xp and windows 7 same result. Using the software below worked perfect.

Bought my sandisk sdcard from amazon also and have not had any issue with it. $50 would be good price for one but its probably more which brand you should get that you should ask.

Thankfully you're very wrong. I'm waiting for 128 GB MicroSDXC before I get a card though. GS4 supports exFAT, so any size MicroSDXC should work.

What ^^ he said.
$50-$60 (sub-40 quid if you're british) for a class 10 or UHS-1 64GB uSDXC card is a reasonable price. I still like SanDisk, they did have a bad batch before Christmas (and I unluckily got one) but they replaced very quickly with no fuss so they get my vote. I used amazon for my last one.
64 gig is fine for tonnes of music and photos, only time I'd want more is if I was taking my entire DVD collection everywhere with me.
128 Gig micro sd card on amazon for $130-$150.

I would recommend newegg or adorama.
Amazon's "Warehouse Deals" section usually has open-box/repack Sandisk and Samsung UHS-1 cards for a little over $40 and $50, respectively.

Yeah, I've seen the 128 GB full-size SDXC cards for quite a while now, but no 128 GB micro SDXC. Main reason I need all that space is my full music collection is around 75 GB, and I'd love to finally dump the old iPod classic and just have the whole collection on the phone. :good:

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

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

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.
