Is a class 4 sd card enough for the note 2? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people I'v3 got a 32 go class 4 sd card and im wondering if it's good enough for my note 2 or should I get an sd card from the upper class 6 or 10 ?

am having a 32 gig class 4, works fine for me for playing videos / songs / pdf etc.
thats the most external cards can do in note 2 so it will be wise to save few bucks unless you are bothered by transfer speeds.

if you already have the class 4, just use it until you feel its not enough anymore. no need to buy class 6 or 10 until you have to (for example if you want to put big games into that sdcard using app2sd).

And what about the app 2 st card will it be enough with a class 4?

lol, yes it will be.
Just be careful to copy over the files. Especially if you have any apps on your sd card.

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

Thanks, never knew that. I thought it went from class 6 to 10. Guess I wasted my money on a Samsung class 10 card then....

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

I've actually been using system tuner pro to boost the sd card at 2048Kb while running apps and cache on dta2sd, so far I'm impressed....

Best micro SD card for the note 2

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?

What sdcard brand do you use?

I currently have an old 6gb SanDisk sdcard I got a few years ago which works well for me.
Although I've been wanting to upgrade to a 32 or 64gb sdcard. I've noticed people having issues with sdcards like the phone won't recognize or it unmounts rapidly.
I was wondering what you guys use that's most stable for you. Do you guys use SanDisk, Samsung, etc memory cards? Post model or anything that works.
Thanks in advance.

Hi i have a Sandisk 64 Gb and it's working (the phone seems slower, but dunno if it's the card or the 400 apps i installed)
Sandisk 32 class4, no issues what so ever
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
SanDisk 64gb class 10
i had Sansisk till its get errors
now i have Samsung 32gb calss 10
no problem yet
SanDisk ultra 32gb class 10, replaced under warranty after developing issues. I am unhappy with SanDisk's silence over the issues and personally would probably by a Samsung card next time.

I use a 32gb Samsung class 10. Looking for a 64 by Samsung, for a S3.
8gb Kingston.. I also have loads of 1gb noname cards lying around
Silicon Power 16gb class 10. Has lifetime warranty and it's fast up to spec, and I use it for music. Love it.
Can the s3 even handle a 64gb...???.. I think it can only handle 32gb

Samsung class 10 for the moment but i want to upgrade to 64.
Do you guys see speed difference using a class 4 & a class 10 on a daily activity?
How can you see the speed of a memory card? Is it by downloading things? Or how responsive things in the memory card are when they're being used?

In most cases no, but I feel it's worth the extra few quid for the few cases where it does show.

Different sd cards and classes

I've been trying to buy some sd cards for my phone and my sisters and I've seen some say class 4 class 10 etc... So what's the difference between classes? I've noticed that the higher the class the higher the price is it just quality or what?

I'm pretty sure the higher the class the faster the writing speed is.

Its been generalized already basically, But I would avoid Class 2 & 4. If you can get 6 or 10, The bigger the card or if you know there will be more photos, movies, etc on it 10 will be the way to go. I've had ever C2/4 Die on me within 3 years from adata, & sandisk awkwardly.
I got a Samsung class 10 on ebay actually in march for 14 bucks....so prices are going down (I guess we all have same idea of looking on ebay first for deals...)

Note II SD question

Hi there again! I just wanted to know if there is any special requirements for sd cards for use in note 2? I mean can I use any kind of micro sd card, old ones? few days ago I posted a question about my note 2s screen going black... I sent it for repair but the guy told me after some days that he turned the phone on and after 2 or 3 days and there were no problems...that maybe the sd card I was using cold be the problem... it is a 4gb micro sd card and actually its workin fine in my other phone...xperia mini pro...
Thanks in advance if someone could confirm this!!
Class 10 and any card class 10 that's compatible with new phones have fun

No theres not any special requirement for a micro sd card for note 2.Even a class 4 would suffice.Although to get better performance you can go for class 6 and up.
I have also used a card that I used for my nokia n81 and nokia 5800 4-5 years back and it was a class 4 card.

Max size is 64gb I think.
