Im having a litle trouble.I just bought a Patriot 32gb card and its copying files from my computer to my card very slow on my EVO. My 8gb card that was in it before was copying faster.Ive read the threads about setting the default to 128 and its still copying slow. I used the SD Speed Boost app from the market.Any idea whats wrong.
Try formatting it from the phone itself. From recovery if you're rooted. Otherwise return it, get a name brand like SanDisk or Kingston.
Mine was as well. The ROM should read the speed correctly though. The SD speed test from the market showed me 10 read and 14 write. Wrong section to post in though

Try Multi Mount SD-Card in the market, it will fix that issue.
I have the same exact card you have, & had the SAME problem on CM7-EX Destroyer v1 & Savaged-Zen 0.2.1-cfs. Their site, Savaged-Zen's, had this fix posted. It's a kernel problem, not a sd card problem.
& Patriot IS a name brand.

Thanks fellas for the quick reply.I def no its a good bran card i ALWAYS research things before i buy.ill try your suggestions and see what i come up with.With the Speed Boost app its reading right but still slow.
You should probably develop something to fix it since this is the Dev section after all...

How ? I believe 16GB was supposed to be max on EVO ?
No it's 32...16gb for 30 dollars or 108 for a 32...lol I don't get some of you, smh
We need a real memory checker. Does anybody know if there is one availible? If not how would we go about compiling one?.
my evo rooted and i want to upgrade from 8gb to a 32gb can anyone please tell me the proper steps i have to take?thank you
Not to sound like a smart ass, but go buy a 32gb card and put it in your phone.

thanks to the one helpful person..to the others i hope ur evo bricks lol
You also could have searched, as this question has been answered at least 20 times in the last few months.
But seriously, its not that hard. Copy everything from the old card to your pc, stick the new card in the phone, and copy everything back. walla...
kinda piggie back on his question....Is 32gb the highest it supports?

yes 32gb is the highest.
FYI,
I have a Patriot 32GB Class 10 card but have issues with it. It will occasionally suffer some corruption and go into read-only mode. Luckily I have not lost any data yet as far as I can tell. Supposedly there is an issue with Android and Class 10. Wonder if others are experiencing this and if there is any "cure".

Could be a bad card. There are a lot of 32gb fakes out there.

I've had my patriot class 10 for a month and had zero issues with it. It's not a class 10 thing, it's a bad card thing. I read a lot of bad card reviews on newegg when I bought mine and only bought it after reading that buyers that had a bad card had no problem with returns or exchanges.
I'm receiving a Patriot 32gb sdcard today and moving to the Synergy 3.0 rom. The only files and folders I want to move over are the files needed for my phone and my nandroid backup. Is there a list of essential files and folders? I'm not worried about saving my apps, just want a base sdcard.

If you're switching to a new ROM you probably aren't concerned with saving app settings and such. If that is the case then you don't need to do anything other than copying over your nandroid.
I'd suggest formatting the new card from recovery to include swap and ext in case you ever want to use those partitions then mount the card from recovery, copy the files over and flash your new ROM.

I have a Patriot and a PNY branded 16G C10 and they have performed well. Transcend doesn't like the ext-ext3 from reviews and same with the one I had.
Your questions seem to have been answered already, but on a side note: If you can remember to treat the phone as any other external storage device you want to keep error free (or at least help prevent errors). Try to disable/disconnect from the computer first, before switching modes on your phone. Otherwise its just like taking the usb cable out of the computer while the external device still has communication. I know...it will usually be OK...usually..just sayin...have fun with the new card.
Also recommend doing the partition so that its there from the start, you don't want to have to copy all your stuff down the road with that size of a card!
I just made backup with rogue recovery and I can't find it anywhere. This happened one more time but I wasn't paying attention thinking that maybe I was wrong. Whole process finished without errors but I can't locate backup anywhere.
Check yoir sd card

I did, it's not there. I have 3 old backups (one stock and other when I installed Calkulin rom, and last with loaded app), but no current one.
Could be a bad SD card. Had that before with an old card. Had spotty performance, sometimes would just make files vanish
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Hope not. This is a 5 day old 32GB sd card. Never happened that files disappears just with this recovery. I just flashed new rom and I will try again.
Edit: It worked, I do see backup via recovery but I have no idea where is located.
and you checked in the clockworkmod folder on the sd card or internal storage? there should be a folder called backup and that's where they are located. If it's rogue recovery, then it's on the SD card. CWM recovery puts them on the internal storage

dafluke24, it took me a little playing around and pulling my hair to figure that out myself. Some devs like different recoveries. When flashing you may end up with a new recovery. Should be stickied for noobs (may already be). Thanks for an old school informative XDA answer.

Glad I could help out. The way I learned it by going through all the folders lol Eventually it just made sense to me since CWM = clockworkmod. Go figure
Rogue recovery does have an option to put the backups on the internal storage as well, so that's a good thing if your SD card is full of mp3s and movies like mine is.

You were right, sd card is going bad. I am mad because I use this card for 5 days only. Got it from ebay (in original packaging) and give'd good review to seller already.
Just run test and looks like bad or fake card. Also instead of 32 GB it shows 28GB ?
I did several testing and results are always same. If there is any data on card test fails, and if card is formated test returns with no error (see attachments)
yea I've been burn by fake or bad cards on ebay many times myself. It will show full capacity,but you can only copy like a few gigs to it. everything else written on the card will show up but be un-usable. For this reason I stopped buying memory cards on ebay and only from legit websites like newegg or buy.com.
Way too much fake stuff out on ebay and you're not sure if you're getting the real thing or some crap.
Sucks to hear that about your situation
Thank you, I look positive way on it (didn't loose much of data on it). Anyway I will get new one from other source. What is top price I should pay for 32 GB, and which brand I should chose?
I've seen 32gig card go for under $30 so no more than that. I've had success on many different brands: sandisk, kingston, adata, patriot, transcend, etc. I would avoid the no name cards as you're not sure what they are.
Just a quick search pulled up this Patriot sd card for $29 free shipping.

If you're a stickler on class speeds, this is a class 10 card. I personally don't care about write speeds as long as it works and doesn't give me problems.
I don't care about speed, but had bad experience with Kingston (lost very important 200-300 pictures after card died with no eason). Thanks for your help!
Hey guys,
I read the thread by ThaGreatest regarding this MicroSD and it was veery useful, however, I don't want to bump a 4 month-old thread.
This is the MicroSD card that I am planning on ordering: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDXC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH6JS
I used the search function and found a lot of people complaining about it, although, if I remember correctly, someone mentioned in some thread that simply formatting (from exFAT to FAT32) should do the trick. If this MicroSD isn't reliable, does anyone have any suggestions to good MicroSD cards that will work?
I am currently running the CM10.1 rom. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone who has used this MicroSD card and a custom rom could attest to how well it functions.
Thanks!
Anyone have any suggestions?
I recall a post at least a year back when these cards came out.
The simple solution is to format it with the device and it seems to work fine.
You can try digging it up and PMing the OP to see if it still works, if OP still has the device.
I am included to think it will work fine though.
It works pretty damn good. I have the 64gb card and now I can have multiple seasons of any show I have, tons of music and of course still have plenty of space for my apps. The read is descent at 12mb/s. I have the 10 class. U need a program like easeus partition manager to format the card into fat32. Hope this was helpful

Thanks for the replies, guys. I think I'm going to pick it up soon.
I have an unrooted International Note 2 (N7100). I really enjoy the device but the only problem is the 10GB internal memory and the inability of moving all data to SD card.
I have searched this issue and found that you can swap the storages but your device has to be rooted. Can anyone help me by:
A noob-friendly guide to rooting the Note 2 and what you need to know.
A guide on swapping the storage without corrupting files or the risk of it being bricked.
I hope you can help as I want to buy a 64GB SD and be able to make use of it and have freedom of memory space.
Anyone?

Thanks, does storage swapping work with custom ROMs? (ie CM). I don't mind stock ROMs but I prefer to root my device on custom ROMs. I checked the second link and I thought that exFAT works for 64GB and which custom kernels do you recommend?
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372187, does this work for Note 2?

definately it works with custom rom but just go through op the rom if its supported or not as the script does not run fine with all rom and for kernel pongster redpill kernel works . there are other kernel too just need to go through the details of that kernel persues is there but i am not sure if it works just go through the thread of ext2sd which i link u will get info from many users using the script and it is recommended to format 64gb in fat32 so do a bit of reading before moving ahead
Is this something that is tricky or not?
Really. I want to know. I'm done with the Note 2 if I can't use the expandable storage option the way I assumed that I could.
I will go back to using the iPhone because I never had any problem with it in terms of what I could do with it in regards to what movies and music I put on there. For example,if I wanted to listen to a .flax recording, I just downloaded Flac Player (actual name) and side loaded the onto my device via iTunes.
All this time I thought that Apple was the control freak and that Android was the libertarian choice. Ha ha ha ha! The joke is on me.
I got this Note 2 and after rooting & roming, I've got 3 Gigs out of 16 and I don't even know where most of it is even allotted. Oh yeah,I know, I know. Everyone has their app that will fix this. Tried them all,I'm getting a bit cynical now.
I've got a genuine micro sd card in the phone external and it has a capacity of 32 Gb. When I move movies into it, then try to watch them, nothing. And if I try to transfer it to the internal storage, the movie still won't play. And the movies and music are getting deleted somehow along the way on both the internal and external cards.
Screw Mr Android Samsung (and Microsoft too), I want my iPhone back.

You should also take a look at folder mount in the play store. I found it more reliable to only move specific folders from the internal to external storage. The app itself is simple to use although it still requires root.

Those damn iPhones. They function just as well a year later as they did the first day. Sets the bar to high for Mr Samsung and his "I'll sell some crappy S2 for a while that burn the women's breasts because off the subpar hardware, turn turn around and make better phones and hope nobody remembers"
Sorry that was too easy.
My sd card is not even recognized now. I will take it out, also it into my computer and format it yet again and go from there.

Its got to be a faulty micro SD card. I thought that if I bought one from a seller based out of the US everything would be fine as I got it off of eBay,
I'm going to swing by walmart later and get a name brand card.
With my current card, I'm hoping that its a faulty one. Because as it stands, if I try to transfer from either the internal storage to the external or vice versa,the information becomes corrupt and will no longer play.
Things should not be this difficult. Smart phones, phablets, all-in-ones, these things are computers more powerful than the ones used in the moon landing. Yet those of us that would love to at least try to use more of their potential are often hampered because of the greed involved in content providers and copyright bull**** and for the love of all that is holy, manufacturers should be neutral. They should not be in bed with content providers that are influencing the way the devices are made!!!
Can you imagine buying a brand new car and being told that it will only accept one brand of gasoline? Picture yourself buying a new car and finding out that ExxonMobile had a deal with the car maker so that the car would only accept their brand of fuel? You couldn't use Chevron, you couldn't use Sunoco or any of the other brands...
This is what's going on with the big companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung...
I really don't get what you mean. You can use any brand of sd card you wish.
However, if you purchase from any non reliable supplier expect to buy a fake. I bought a 16gb card on Monday from amazon but I mistakenly bought it from their market place and I'm 99% sure it's fake. That's my error which is compounded by the fact that I normally only buy them from amazon direct for exactly this reason. That doesn't make it Samsung, apple, Microsoft, God or even Kenny Rodgers fault.
So, sorry but, I don't really get your point. But yes it does sound like you have a faulty card. Just be happy you have a note 2 and so are able to simply by a replacement.

I went and got another card at Walmart and it did turn out to be a faulty card that was causing the problem.
What I meant earlier when I talked about manufacturers being in bed with content providers was that when you get a certain product sometimes it will not do what you wanted to do because of dumb copyright laws.
I'm sure you're familiar with the problem that many smart phone owners have had in dealing with trying to transfer apps to an external card. This is because content providers do not want the apps that are for purchase to be traded off.
There are many instances where things like this happen every day and the technology world.

Ah Ok. I got ya now. Yes jb saw us unable to move the data to sd. I never knew the reason for it but now you've explained it it makes sense, thanks.
But I guess we are lucky to be on this forum as for us we can use directory bind or better still the memory swap mod.
Glad you got your sd card sorted.
In answer to your first question yes the memory swap mod does work. I've been using it for about a month. I used directory bind for about 3 months before that. That is alot more fiddly but you can move individual apps with it instead of everything.
Try flashing a custom rom with the mod baked in just because you can.

Seriously, lay of whatever it is you're smoking. Don't go blaming the phone because you don't know what you're doing - maybe you shouldn't be rooting if you aren't comfortable with what it implies.
The missing internal storage is likely because you flashed multiple times without wiping the underlying partitions. I had a similar issue using mobile odin. Try using the PC Version with a complete factory wipe from recovery first.
