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.

This is the Google/Samsung Nexus 10.

They want u to use drive and playstore cloud, I think it comes in other size storage tho, 8gb, 16gb, 32gb and if we get lucky maybe a 64gb or 128gb version but honestly 32gb is plenty for me cuz I don't keep my whole collection of movies on my tab I just rotate em out between my storage center and my tablet and just keep a few on at a time, and music i usually stream and only keep a handful of hard to find stuff on storage.
Edit: oh yeah plus I already have 60gb for my box account and 15gb on my drive account so that right there is 75gb of cloud space on top of my internal. The nice thing about cloud storage is you can pull it to whatever device you want wherever you are.

I never had a tablet but if I got one this would be pretty good

I know they're trying to push cloud services, but I don't think they should force it on us. I don't see why they couldn't include an sd card slot and then the user can use it if they want to or not. The cloud is nice in theory, but not always the best or available.

Idk why they opt out of SD slots seems like all nexus now don't have one that's the one thing I don't like about nexus cuz its so.much faster to pull the card and put it in PC to transfer stuff plus I don't have to leave my phone/tab tethered to the PC while I transfer stuff. I wonder if it has something to do with the extra gb of ram taking up space on the logic board

All that seems to be legit. What do you think ?

Yep that is it. I saw other screenshots as well and it was running 4.2 Jelly Bean (not key lime pie~)

Dissapointed by the lack of MicroSD card slot, may actually put me off this, its complete BS to be honest, especially with the price of SD cards at the moment. On the other hand the screen seems like a winner and its plain android which means support for years to come.
This will come down to price for me. I'll be really annoyed if there is a massive difference between the 16 and 32 gig versions, without the microsd card slot this will need 32gig minimum IMO in order to be reasonably future proof.
As things stand Google may be about to loose a sale over the MicroSd card ommision, if it had one i'd almost definately get this assuming the price wasnt stupidly high.

Read this: http://www.androidcentral.com/why-nexus-devices-have-no-sd-card
If you're disappointed by a Nexus device not having micro SD support, then I'm assuming you're not very familiar with the Nexus program and Google's stance on micro SD cards... its not like this is the first Nexus to not offer micro SD support, so it isn't a shocker. It would have been more of a surprise if it did offer support.
There are plenty of OEMs that do offer that functionality, this is the beauty of Android... consumer choice. This will not be the only 10 inch tablet with similar specs to come to market.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I'd like to see Google allow SD cards, even if it's only as media storage. I understand what they're doing, but tablets could really make good use of expandable storage.
As I mentioned in another thread, the phone UI seems like it will be extremely uncomfortable on a 10" tablet. Rather than having a conveniently thumb adjacent set of navigation buttons you have to juggle the device.
While I wasn't considering acquiring a tablet, the N7 did tempt me. Maybe Google will surprise me when they announce it, but at this point in time I'm not really interested.

[Q] Nexus 4: Will you be going 16GB or 8GB and why?

I'm just curious what sizes people are getting, considering Google wants people to go to the cloud. Personally, I'm getting the 8GB. Most of my stuff is in the cloud anyway.

IF i get it, it will definitely be the 16 gb version...i think this question is pretty obvious...16gb if you need the space 8 if you dont
and if you get 8 you obviously dont save things on your phone or you use cloud
P.S. i have the GSM Nexus and ive gotten somewhat used to 16gb...but i still don't like the transition to cloud storage thing..i have to keep such a close eye on what i save and what i dont

I'm getting the 16GB version. The cloud seems well and good, but personally I think it's still in it's infancy stage. Better implementations are sure to come in the near future, but until then I'm good with the 16GB. 8GB just doesn't seem like a lot of space @[email protected]

There are at least a dozen N4 threads. I really hope the mods start to do something to keep it relevant to the GNex soon.

Still torn. I've only used about 3.5GB of storage on my GNex so 8GB seems like it will be plenty. But for $50 I could get 16GB for the extra headroom.
I'll decide when I'm going through the checkout process on the 13th I suppose. :laugh:

I'll be amazed if the 16GB model gets sold out immediately (or at all). It's not like the iPhone. There are nowhere near enough people who know/care enough about the Nexus line to order one the second they are available for purchase.

I'll probably end up getting an n4 at some point when my gnex breaks.
Judging from the below screen shot, I could get by barely with 8 gigs, but would most def opt for the 16 gig.

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.)

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.
