Micro SD card question

Although not a question dedicated solely to the OGP, i figured others with this phone might also want to know....
I'm looking to get a 64gb card for the phone to store music and whatever else can be put there (I realize apps can't go on the SD). I've seen class 10 cards and other slower classes for sale online. Does the speed of the card make that much of a difference for the uses that we need? I'm assuming that any class of card would be sufficient for music, but then again maybe I'm wrong. Someone please educate me!!!
I realize that with a digital camera, you want a faster card to quickly store the image you just took, so you can get on to snapping the next picture, but with our phones do we need the faster storage that class 10 provides? How much does it matter?
Also, I understand there are apps that swap the built in memory location for the Micro SD location (sorry, I'm an Android newbie and I'm just learning), so that I could have 64gb of "built-in" storage for apps (minus the OS), and 23gb for "external storage", then would the speed class of the card then come into play much? How fast is the built in memory compared to a class 10 SD card?

the thing i can say is class 10 helps a lot for "scanning media" process which comes :
every time you boot the phone
every time you move some media or add some new
before i had a cheap one and it was long....

Built in memory will typically be faster than even a Class 10 card. The other day I picked up a 64GB MicroSD card from Best Buy (half price at $50) and put a ton of ripped movies into it so I can show of that 5.5" screen. It scanned the 50GB of files in a few seconds and I haven't noticed any stuttering, even as I scroll through the videos.
All of the 64GB MicroSD cards I have seen have been Class 10 anyway, so don't worry if you pick up a 64GB. This is the one I purchased (same price as Best Buy):

And I do see a few non-branded cards on Amazon, but I would stick with a name brand. There is a reason they are selling for $16.

And, to make it more confusing, I've seen Micro SD and Micro SDHC cards. Can the OGP use both types, and is one better than the other?

MicroSD is anything under 4gb, 4-32= SDHC above 32gb = SDXC. The OGP can accept any of them (up to 64gb).

Micro SD Card Questions

I recently pre-ordered the Sony Xperia Z2 which only comes in 16gb so I am forced to get extra storage, but I have a few question regarding micro SD cards. While reading my post please keep in mind I am still a noob. :angel:
1) Is 32gb enough or is it recommended to get 64gb? I will probably watch movies and TV shows but will not be putting music on the phone since I am not a fan for personal reasons. I have also heard that bigger SD cards can slow your phone down and some people tend to have problems with them, is this true?
2) What brand shall I get? SanDisk or Samsung? I have read that even though two micro SD cards are the same size and same class there is still a difference due to the brands.
3) Apart from the storage size and the class of the card is there anything else I should be looking out for?
Thanks

Hm....the xperia z2......it has up to 128 gb memory expansion according to gsm arena. If you want to save movies and tv shows to your phone, I suggest you buy a 64 gb memory stick, so you can save more stuff. As for the brand, there's no actual difference to me, and as for the bigger size that makes the phone slower, that's not true, unless you have your memory stick full of stuff like music, videos/movies/tv shows, images and such stuff (note that I have mine with such stuff loaded and I have no problems). Apart from the storage size and the card class, no, I think you're going to be alright. Hope I helped...

if you are a Movie TV fans,i suggest you add a 64gb extra storage,then u could smoothly enjoy the show and u can save more tv show you like

I agree, i fill up a 32 gb like its nothing. and thats just pictures and videos. if you use instagram it fills up allot faster.

Alright, I'll go for the 64gb one and Samsung seems like the reasonable choice to make.

suggest you to get a 64GB extra storage.
and maybe kingston is ok.

We can't really answer that. If you don't re-encode movies you'll likely quickly fill up 32GB. On the other hand, bigger cards get cheaper, faster and more reliable (ok, not always) over time. I'd decide by price, you can always easily replace it later.

go for sandisk ....class 10 ultra ...64 gb . actually you have video recording @ [email protected] will going to take more speed as well as memory than expected .

i have got Samsung micro SD class 10 48mb/s 32 gb huhuhuh! it's cool and works fine!

[Q] SD Card Class / Frequent Corruption and Zoe Problem

Hi there,
One of the biggest frustrations for me with my new HTC M8 has been SD cards.
All of my usual cards I use in various devices have all been too slow for Zoe so I invested in a Class 10 32GB. Get the same warning 'To enjoy a better Zoe experience, please use a higher class SD card' or a message very similar.
I've also had a few times when my SD card has become corrupt at various times.
Am I alone in experiencing these problems?

It may be the way the card is formatted.
I always reformat my card FAT32 before putting it into a new device. Once I put it in the new device, I then have the phone reformat it also... then move everything on to the card...

Hi,
I did all the steps you mentioned. Anybody recommend a fast card that dosent bring up the zoe pop up ?
Oh' Thanks for all your help.

I have the same problem with mine, it half corrupted itself today after i opened the camera app, the camera froze and the phone unmounted the sd card, i removed it and put it back in numerous times and it wouldn't read, had to put it into a friends Z1 to get the card back working, but now all the photos are deleted, luckily google backs them up automatically.
How could HTC mess up such an important feature on a flagship phone.

Mine does not have this pop up.
I am using a Sony Micro SD HC with a 10 in a circle (Class ten is that?), i1, 40mb/s, model SR-32UY
I bought it from tesco, 32gb, for about 20 I think, in the UK.
Zoe's record perfectly.
I formatted the card in my phone on Venom Rom.

[Q] Is this Micro SD overkill?

I purchased a 128GB Sandisk card originally for my LG G3 which failed shortly after getting my Note 4. Sandisk offered to even exchage it or I can wait for the new 64GB extreme pro model soon to come out also as an exchange. Should I go with the larger 128GB card rated at 48mbs or go for the new 64GB UHS-3 card rated at 95mbs. I do not need 128GB of storage but will my phone have any better SD performance with the faster card? Here is the link for the new card and the old one. Advice appreciated

from what I've heard, you can't access your SD card on your own on the note 4 without root. not exactly sure to what extent this goes as I'm STILL WAITING FOR BESTBUY to get my preorder in.. I've sseen other threads here around xda asking if anyone has figured out a way to move files to their SD card without root, and the answers they get are basically, 'no'.
im not the best to answer your question, but seeing as you have links in hand and are probably itching to buy it, i figured i needed to throw that out before you actually buy something you may not have much use for.
google 'SD card on kitkat' and you'll get some better informed information than what i can tell you here on the train. gl either way!

I currently have an older SanDisk 32gb in my note 4 that works for storing music and pictures taken with camera. I think the issue you are referring to is moving apps and data from phone to SD which is a problem with kitkat that should be fixed with root or with lollipop update. I am more concerned if my phone will be able to utilize the speed of the faster card. I appreciate your input though

No external SD card writing by other apps is a security feature google added to the kit Kat uodate to help keep sensitive information safe on your phone or tablet.

I do not store my downloaded apps to my external SD card. My question is will my phone utilize the read speed of the pro model card as far as loading my pics, music, and large video files? Also will it write my pictures and videos taken with phone as fast as the card is rated for or does the micro sd bus speed on note 4 have a limit for read/write speeds.

I have a lot of 1080p video on my SD card and they play perfectly so I think it utilizes the extra speed of the card, my card is a 32 gig with 95mbs speed.

Thanks for the input

I have the 128 GB card working fine in the note 4. I have had problems writing to it from file managers other than MyFiles. I get the access denied message. I hope we get root soon

Quick question for everyone...what format is your sd card in? I'm about to format from my old s4 and I'm wondering if I should use exfat, ntfs, ext4
..? Thanks

I have the 128gb I never formatted but with phone. Still exfat32 and works perfectly on my attention note 4.

[Q] Micro SD card

Hello all I am looking for a Micro SD card for this phone.
I am gonna use the Micro SD for storage: music, photo and even full HD videos.
My question is simple.. For this purpose is every Class 10 UHS-I card good?
Because I am reading some feedback and someone (with phones like S7, M9, Op2) has some troubles with recognizing the card or even their phones do not save full HD video properly and they have problems with playback.
If someone could answer me would be grateful, thanks.
