Suggest me a 16gB & 32gB MicroSD card to buy!

I currently have a 2gB MicroSD card from my old SE X1i, and my Atrix will not detect the no matter what I try.
So I've decided to buy a 16gB or a 32gB card depending on the price - compatibility/performance ratio.
Suggest me a card to buy. gogogo!

Dude... there's a post like.... right there man... seriously?

You should read the thread then.... the title is about a fail, but not the rest.
Wouldn't you want to learn more about what fails? I guess not.

look for a card with a good class rating of 6 or 10 and comes with a good warranty 5+ years.

16gb seem to have a lower failure rate
i have this one, works fine

I wouldn't say that. The X1i was great for when it first came out. It was a piece of **** 2 months after I bought it.

You hardly go wrong with Patriot or Corsair SD Cards, i've been through many memories from them and i've never had a single problem from them two.
Kingston is a bit of a gamble...but for the most part they make good stuff.

I have the Lexar 32GB Class 10 card and it works really well. It's fast and I've already put over 20GB of MP3s.

I dropped a class 4 16gb into mine, I just couldn't resist a $14 dollar sd card

where did you get that deal?

Bout 2 weeks ago I went into one of the local phone stores, they had an open box memory card with a $14 dollar price tag on it that said it was 4gb memory card. I didn't argue the price, cuz the card clearly said 16gb

So I inserted my 32GB class10 Patriot into my phone. It detected the card for 5secs, and then said card removed. I tried moving the card around, but nothing. Also tried rebooting the phone.
T_T
EDIT: Kept sliding it around and my phone detects it now, although the format option is greyed out.
EDIT2: no go. After putting the cover back on, it says card removed.

Is it possible to run 64gb SD Card?

From my understanding the inc2 and majority of today's "smartphones" can only access up to 32gb of external memory. I have yet to see a 64gb card installed in any phone.
I could be absolutely wrong in my assumption.
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium

Did a quick research and found out that anything above 32gb would be classified as a SDXC card which would not be read by current smartphones.

plenty of music (32gb alone), movies, videos etc.... I have Google Music, but I would also like the option of not having to stream online to listen to my music.

Just installed the 64GB microSDXC card from SanDisk and it works just fine. Formatted the card in the phone and copied all my stuff (music, pictures, etc.) over. Only problem I've run into was Astro FC, but a quick reinstall fixed that. Sure is nice to have a room for more ROM backups now.

Is it reading your full amount of memory also can screenshot the memory usage screen I would love to see it say 64

No, this will not work. Phone uses Micro SD.

Why on earth would you need 128GB? Lol

If it was a micro sd sdxc card it would tho. I can use a 64gb microsdxc on my g2x and fit quite a chunk of my music collection and videos now.

why wouldn't you want 128GB. if you're like me then you would want your phone to do whatever it is you need it for - whether it be watching movies, recording video, or playing games. Just as an example: if you enjoy playing "old school" games like NES or SNES games, then each SNES game alone is approximately the size of a standard mp3 and with hundreds of games - you could easily fill up a few gigs of space.
Music alone will be a storage hog and even movies. The average divx or .avi is about 700mb.

I can't believe some peoples mindset...
I mean sure if its not what you need look elsewhere but more storage space is never a bad thing, especially for the users that use their phone for more then just texting,calling,browsing youtube etc. This is a smartphone people and storage just like battery life can always be improved upon.

there was a mod posted a long while back that was basically a ribbon cable in the form of an sd card to a regular mem card like the one posted in the op, of course it meant making a rectangular hole in your battery cover but could be hidden using a phone cover... that might work

64 gig memory card

Santa was really good to me and brought me a 64 gig card for Christmas. . I have heard stories of people having problems with twrp and these cards but didn't pay much attention cause I never thought I would have such an awesome card.
Now I put it in my phone and all seens fine but how can I tell if twrp is able to access the whole card. ..
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2

When you try to flash something from twrp it should show the external card as an option to choose where to download from. If it doesnt show it won't work with twrp. There is an app I use to convert to the correct format. If interested shoot me a pm to get the info. Hope this helps.

Well, the card will be blank at 1st use. Put some files on there, a ROM, some tunes, a pr0n, then navigate to the SD in TWRP. I have had 0 problems with The Note 1, S3, or the Note 2 using the same 64gb sdxc. Good luck !

Ok so if it sees the card than it can access all if it.. it wint just see it as 32 gig..it seems to be working. . I did a backup to it and restore

Hope I'm not hijacking the thread, but would anybody know why TiB would only recognize roughly half of the card size? My 32gb card shows in TiB as only roughly 12GB, but lists the Ex SD Card right underneath it as 32gb. Where's my other 20gb? (If this has been answered elsewhere, sorry. Search keywords I used turned up nothing obvious.)
I'm perplexed.

the 12GB that you're seeing is referring to the internal storage space on the phone (out of the 16GB). Your 32GB card is the Ext. SD. If that is showing 32GB then you're good and nothing is wrong.

Just got a 64gb sdxc sandisk card. Here are benchmark results.

Format of the card on the computer into fat32. The results we're pretty good on 1 part but pretty bad on another. I assume it could be a combination of the way it was formatted and the phone's hardware that is the

In settings check "use longer testing" to get normal results without caching

Sd card speeds are averages they will never be consistent, especially when testing in your phone as background apps could be using it while the test is running. To get the most accurate results its best to test them in a pc

That is understandable but seeing a huge rise in one benchmark and then a huge drop should not happen. They should be close.

Typically you see the big spikes while benching on the phone cuz something in the background starts reading or writing from the sd and takes priority over the benchmark app. If you test it in a pc it would be more consistent but still varying a bit. Theres just no real way to stop the phone from using the card to get an accurate test. Best way would be to do it on a cleanly installed rom with no 3rd party apps installed. It's just the way android works unfortunately if something needs to use the sd card it will automagically take priority over the benchmark and they will then be sharing the max r/w speeds. Say your max is 10mb/s and 2 apps are reading/writing those apps now each have a max of ~5mb/s, 3 apps running ~3mb/s and so on.
I like to break stuff!

How much are those 64GB anyways
besides that, I heard they have alot of problems with slow loading of the disk after boot or so? or just not loading at all
Thats just my say because i see alot of threads of that....
I want one because I have alot of music....

As long as you preformat it in fat32 before you put it in the phone, you should be okay. Haven't had any problems yet. Card scan at boot is faster than the previous card with the same data on it. I think I paid under 60 usd on amazon for it.

I got lucky and got my Ultra 64gb for like 35 from Bestbuy but they are normally pricey. I have never gotten the advertised 30mb read and write but it is way faster than a typical class 10
