32GB MicroSD - working in X10

Just in case anybody was wanting a hands on confirmation....

How much did that cost you?

$199US direct from Sandisk US online store (selling it exclusively at release, and still exclusive through them but also available from their UK store, problems with stock currently). I got it shipped to NZ using Shipito, which is an excellent service for us non-US residents.
Expensive, but then I've had the money saved over a year now since the 32GB cards were meant to be released ages ago!

Why the hell did you pay that sum of money for card !?!? )) DO you really need it or just for fun ? Because maybe it would be smarter to buy now 16 Gb for like 50$ and when that become small, in year or two, buy 32 Gb for 50-100$, because that would be the price in 2 years....but cheers to your purchase

You have no idea how sick I was of not having all my music on the phone, along with room for apps etc. I've had a 16GB card since their first release and its chafed continually since then.
Besides, 32GB cards were expected ages ago, so I've had the money saved! I budgetted to pay even more to be honest, and still would have made the purchase in a heart beat if they had turned as expensive as I had estimated...

Then enjoy it !

thanks on confirmation ,i really wanted it

I have heard some noise about the 32gb not working for what ever reason. I know we have had one user claim that it is working on there device. Is there anyone else who has had problems with the 32gb? Or, are there any other success stories to be heard?

What 'noise' have you heard ? I know personally of someone who has 32GB card in his phone and it is working fine. I have seen two users on here sucessfully claim to be using 32GB cards in their X10.

" I know personally of someone who has 32GB card in his phone and it is working fine." This is what I am looking for, thank you. The rest was just noise.
Anyone else have any actual personal experience of the 32gb microSD working or not?

Yes, I've not had any major issues with a SanDisk 32gb card, a couple of issues with it not mouting correctly when trying to connect it to my computer and use it as removable storage but I get this occationally with the supplied 8gb card too.
Tested with my friends to start off with, and I've since been out and bought my own, you can buy and use with confidence, using mine mostly to store movies (only so I can showcase the phone - I find myself daily needing to justify why I didnt buy a Desire...).
Currently only about a hundred meg free.
It will become a lot more useful once the phone is rooted.
£100 for a SD card is a lot of money... If I were to do it again I probably wouldnt have bought it when I did, knowing my luck by the time we've rooted it they'll prolly be a third of the price!

32GB Official Compatability Proof

I can also confirm that 32 GB SDHC MicroSD cards works well with X10.
...and I can confirm that there are 32 GB MicroSD cards out on the market that does NOT follow SDHC (SD 2.00) specifications, and might therefor be incompatible with the X10.
I was careless and happened to get my hands on one of these non-SDHC 32 GB cards.
SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacit) cards does not work as far as I know of.

it seems that the SD card is cheap in China........i wanna a 16G one

China SD cards
I have read in message boards that china is spoofing the settings on the card to make the phone believe it is a 32gig card, and most of the time people get the card, stick it in the phone see 32 GB and give positive feedback to find out later that after 16gigs it craps out and they lose all their data. I would be VERY wary of a 25$ card from china. If you look at the pictures of the china cards, it used to be that there was a round sticker with 32GB written on the packaging. Probably over 16GB... but now the pictures on Ebay are all of a generic white background micro SD card with 32GB written on it.

There is also a BIG difference in price between a Class 2 and a Class 10 card!
Check which one you are getting when you compare them......

verizon wireless had a special offer on the 32 gb card for the droid x customers, now you can find really good deals on ebay (range $65-100) for authentic 32 gb sandisk cards.
I bought mine for $89.99 (buy it now option) and it works like a charm.

32gb micro SDHC Memory Card (CLASS 4)

I just found THIS 32gb micro SDHC memory card (CLASS 4). Has anyone purchased one yet? I'm real tempted to get one but am a little uneasy spending this much for it to just be a fake. Doesn't Amazon protect you even when you buy from their resellers?
UPDATE: HERE is the review page for the company selling them. I don't know how accurate it is but the second review from the top is most likely about this card.

never heard of topram brand before, and $170 isn't exactly a bargain... especially if it turns out to be a junk card

I didn't say it was a bargain...

I purchased a 16gb class 4 card from topram. I used it in my hero (with A2SD) and now use it in my evo. The card works well and is the correct size (I have filled it with around 15.x gb to test).
I think I paid $18 for the card. When I need more space I will buy more 16gb cards before I would spend that much money.
edit: the card holds 14.92gb.

Just curious, what file table system do you use to format these cards to work with most cell phones. FAT32, FATex, NTFS? Or do you use the internal phones format utility?

Actually, Verizon screwed me over one too many times so I won't have anything to do with them. If you have to ask me, I'd say don't deal with them. Other people seem to have good experiences with Verizon so I guess they just don't like me. I must be flagged or something in their system. Anyways, I go elsewhere.

I'm gonna wait 'til 32GB Class 6 cards are ~$50 bucks, then I won't feel bad about missing out on verizon's screw up.
I would never buy this.

Gonna have to wait for 2 years at least. If you haven't noticed, 32GB standard SD cards aren't even breaking 32GB/$50 yet. Let alone a Class 2 32GB MicroSD, which has only been out for a few months.

[Q] Is it a best deal on ebay for 32GB Micro SDHC???

I just found an ebay.com seller listed a kingston 32gb micro sdhc (class 4) card for just $16 ...I dont whether its a genuine deal or not but till now has already sold more than 80 cards (within 12 hrs)....
here's the link http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270781614305&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Last week I saw a similar deal (32gb kingston for $20) I purchased 3 .... although paypal refunded all my money today when i raised a claim but it's such a waste of time....
Can anybody confirm whether its a genuine deal? ALso can anybody suggest a best deal (with worldwide shipping) for buying 32gb micro sdhc class 4 (or 10) card

Nope they are fake. when you plug it in it will show 32gb but in reality they are 1-2 gb cards. I once bought a 16gb flash drive which turned out to be 2gb. never buy flash memory on ebay esp from china. Buy from trusted sellers only.
the money for the "16gb flashdrive" was refunded to me.

If he sends the same kingston card as shown in the pic.... is thr any chance of gettin fake ...
I hv seen many loose or unbranded cards as fake ....hv u encountered any fake card in kingston's retail packing?

Yes they are fake. Fake packaging. Made mostly for schmucks like you who think they are real because of the box they come in. If you put a Lamborghini logo and a ford, Its still just a crappy ford.

Anyone can duplicate packaging even if it has holograms. Everything is easily duplicated. Also the card they state is a class 4, Which I doubt. Its most likely a class 1. Either way Class 4 is useless. Get at least a class 6 card or class 10 which is best. If you care at all about watching movies or recording in HD onto the card.
LESSON OF THE DAY:
IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.... IT IS!

Thanks everybdy... anyway the listing removed by ebay ...
Mods can close this thread...

If you need a 32GB class 4 - THIS is the best deal.
I have got the same one, and I can guarantee it is genuine. And I am having no problems whatsoever.

Recording and playback will be fine with a class 2 card. You certainly don't need anything faster than class 4. The only advantage a class 6 or 10 card has would be faster transfers between your pc and the card.

I have both...I can claim without a doubt my Class 10 32GB Patriot is a lot faster than my 16GB Class 4 Sandisk.
Where do I notice it most besides PC transfers? Media scanner.... the 32GB scans more than twice as fast as the 16GB on reboots after changes. Well worth the $86.

So it scans a bit quicker and costs nearly twice the price of the class 4....
I'd rather have the extra money in my pocket and wait a few extra seconds for the scanner to finish.....

It scans far more than a "bit quicker". It scans faster then the internal SD card!!
No matter.....I paid $600 for a phone...and am flashing custom ROMS and Kernels and donating to the developers and this site supporting them for more speed with stability, I am not going to cut corners in the same arena to save $40 on a lesser SD Card. I want to get the most out of the handset on all fronts. In that regard the class 10 card makes sense.
Then again people will pay $600+ for a handset, $300+ a year for a data plan and balk at paying $3 for a helpful app or donating to a developer. Strange world this mobile phone world indeed.

Try searching 3C Pro 32GB Class 6 micro SD. I bought one of ebay it was from TOPRAM. 3C has 10mbit speed and is a real Class 6 and 32GB I have one myself and it is legit. Made in Korea. Not China like SanDisk. Doesn't fail. HIGH TRANSFER SPEEDS!

Just want to say that remember that Hong Kong is not China even if they are connected and the people look alike. Hong Kong has been a British ruled colony until 1995. China's government tried to make villagers make steel made in the villagers backyards. Do the math.

[Q] Best sd card

I have a scan disk 8gig sd card, the one that came with the phone. I'm looking to upgrade the sd card. I have two questions (I did search on xda sorry if I didn't see this question answered already)
1) What's the highest gig the Evo 4G will support?
2) What type of sd card should I get, like company name and all that?
Thanks.

32gb, san disk class 6

There really isnt a best card, just get the highest class you can afford.
The one piece of advice though, do NOT buy memory cards off ebay. 80% of the cards on there are fakes. Purchase from an authorized retailer, like newegg.

The company that has had the most positive results is SanDisk. Not all packages will say what class the card is so look for a "C" with a number inside of it. 10 is the best right now but SanDisk ones are hard to find. Like a previous poster said, Class 6 is the most popular and fairly nicely priced.

Unfortunately, it's not just eBay. Both CircuitCity (when they were in business) and most recently BestBuy have actually had fake SanDisk cards ON THEIR SHELVES. That's pretty brazen by the forgers.

Because SanDisk seems to be such a big target for forgeries, I switched to Kingston for my memory cards in my phone, tablet, camera, my kids' Nintendo DS, etc. I've been very happy with them.
Just recently I got a 32gb Class 4 Patriot for under $40 (for my Acer A500 tablet) and I'm very happy with its performance. So don't overlook Class 4 if money is a bit tight because it will get you a much bigger card for the money that still does the job well.
I have a 16GB Class 4 Kingston in my HTC Evo 4G and currently have it partitioned for running Synergy RLS1, which is also performing very well.

SD card?

Hi I'm planning on buying a microsd card for my ATRIX. I want a 32gb one. Ive never bought one of these before so I dont know much. Can someone recommend a good one that would work with the ATRIX?
I'm buying off of amazon, so if you can, try to include links to amazon with the product.
Thanks in advance

I just purchased the SDcard I quoted above, and by all reviews it surpasses the advertised speeds. Well worth it for $36 including shipping.

And remember...
The new(ish) Sandisk 64GB microsd also works in the Atrix. Got mine last week.
A little pricier... but you can NEVER have too much storage!

happy with the performance, i haven't tried the 64GB card yet but i guess i will have to soon..

I cant seem to find a 32gb card over class 4 on amazon. Can anyone link me to one? The reason I want it from amazon is because I have a gift card and would like to buy it with the gift card. Thanks!
