Help: SD Card Question - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would this SD card be overkill? I plan on shooting 4k videos or high quality videos and pictures with this phone.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-64GB-...05982616&sr=8-5&keywords=samsung+sd+card+64gb
I'm coming from an iPhone 5s - so i'm a little clueless when it comes to SD cards and mobile devices.

I have a similar class 10 and it does the job fine. Haven't seen any problems, although I haven't shot much video.
When I was shopping around, I couldn't find anything below class 10 that was a worthwhile cost saving without going for a unbranded card that I wouldn't risk buying.

I picked up a 32gb but that's because my aim is to save a lot of music on it, not the much more storage-greedy 4k videos. I'd say you'll be just fine.
TBH I kinda want to pick up a 128 because why not.

I am using a Class 10 32GB that I no longer use with my GoPro, I used 16GB for years and never had an issue.

Um. that's an SD card. It won't fit on your phone.
you need MicroSD.
I have a 128GB one from Sandisk that works very well on the G3.

LOL oh man. I wonder how many people (like me) didn't click on the link itself and just saw "64gb card" and assumed the OP knew to get a micro.

ha! thanks for pointing that out. I knew I would **** it up without asking. Thanks for the save. With that being said - good feedback in general and looking at some micros.
I will probably get 128gb. Just need to find a good one.

For 128GB, there is only one in the market. The Sandisk one. It's only $120 at Amazon now.
Oh and don't get swindled by the 'fake' $30 128GB card on Amazon. Read the reviews lol

I just picked up a class 10 Patriot 64gb microsd for $27. Money well spent.

Here is one I like, it's cheap, good quality and fast. The 32gb is ~13 so that's a better buy http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CE...5_QL70&qid=1406004610&sr=8-13#ref=mp_s_a_1_13

I picked up a 64GB Samsung Pro for my G3, seems to be working fine, though I haven't tried any videos on it yet (just music). $41 with S&H.

I got the samsung pro 32 gb micro sd from amazon.
Very happy with it, I even got a feeling that it saves camera pics faster than saving it to the phone itself

I have a 32 Sandisk ultra and a 32gb transcend card (it's faster than the sandisk) however I feel like they write slow when I take pictures so I wanted a faster card. How fast is the who or evo pro when you take a picture? Is there any delay?

Here's a 64 gb G-Skill for $34.99 with .99 shipping from newegg on ebay, great card, I use it, got it for $24.99 not long ago. G-Skill is a memory company so you know it's good quality. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=291190498727 Here are some read write speeds for this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231651

Just an FYI, the 128GB Samsungs are on sale on Amazon for $99 wit prime shipping right now....

Granted yours is a 128 gb but the g- skill is much faster.

Nice thanks.
Also might be worth adding that it's a Class 4 microSD card, which tbh isn't going to cut it for a full fledged 32GB imo at least, but good find indeed.

Best I've found for a class 10 is:
Class 10 32GB MicroSD memory card.
yikes, it's already sold out!
That cheap class 10 komputerbay on amazon has pretty bad reviews. If you stalk ebay for a few days you can find a 32gb memory card in the low 20s. I got a 16gb sandisk for $6.50 its a class 2 but speeds are almost 6. Good enough for music and random files.

They are also more stable for phone apps and cameras.
GS2 doesn't need them. Just get a 32 gig class 4 for your music and backups. Use the onboard storage for apps and camera. Onboard is way faster than a class 10.

It's not all about the class rating.
Nothing can beat the Sandisk cards on random read and write speeds.
I just bought 2 for 18.48 each..thanks for the tip!
As fast as this phone is, it doesnt matter what class card you use; also, just tweak the read ahead speed with rom toolbox or one of the other programs that tweaks that, and you will never know the difference between a class 4 and anything else...

Seems like a good deal. Might have to jump on a 32gb card in the next couple weeks. Don't think I will ever use that much space but I guess I could use it to put some movies and tv shows on my phone.

Looking for a 32GB micro SD

Hi everyone. I'm looking to buy a 32GB microSD card to store some music and ROMs and I need some advice on how to find good ones for cheap. I don't really want to go over $25 really so I'm not really looking for Class 10 or anything. But what I don't want is a Class 2. I have found 2 cards that may be good. Can anyone recommend one of these or possibly even something else?

Why is the Class 10 Polaroid so cheap? I'm inclined to go for the SanDisk because it's cheap and a good brand and I've also heard that SanDisk is known for having higher write speeds than advertised. Any advice is appreciated.,

About 6 months ago i sprung for a genuine Samsung class 10 32GB SD for my ET4G and i paid about $40 with free shipping from amazon. I got the class 10 because i shoot HD video in 720 and 1080 and i wanted to make sure it had the xfer rate to handle it. If all you're doing is storing files like music and pictures or roms then class 4 is fine. I just bought that SanDisk 32GB for my OG Galaxy tab and its working great. Granted i only read books/manga and listen to music with it and they work great.
I hope this helps in some way towards your decision.

Thank you very much - it does help with my decision. I just want to store my music and some root stuff on it. I'm sick of using Google Music because it drains my battery life streaming from the cloud.
I'd highly suggest going with the absolute fastest you can find.
Why? Because media scanner will run and run and run and run and run, forever, sucking up your battery if you have lots of music files.
I went from a class 4 to a class 10 and it was a huge difference with many photos and MP3 files.
I got 3 of the Polaroid class 10s on sale last month for 19 each. Running fine on my s2 and wife's s3.
I'll just leave this here...

This is the creme de la creme of SD cards. The best deals can be had on ebay for around 30 bucks. If you get it off ebay, make sure the seller has a good rating and it says OEM, because many people try to sell fakes.

I had a class 2 sandisk 16 gb- bought a sandisk class 4 32gb for 11.50 on ebay- GENUINE- in an auction- free shipping- Its good enough- then get the app rom toolbox- speed up your sd reader to 2048- and now you have all that you could ever need- unless you shoot hd video- then get class 10- ( stay away from cheesy brands- the rating may be fudged.. pay for class 10- and getting a lower rating and quality.
I have been using a TOPRAM Class 10 32GB micro SD for about 2 years now, and I have had ZERO issues. I have used it in three different phones, it has been partitioned and formatted many times, wiped, and had a constant amount of data going on, and off of it during the period I have had it, and It still continues to serve me perfectly. they run around $30 with free shipping on Ebay. i was skeptical at first, but after a couple years, it is still the best micro SDHC I have ever owned.
Thank you guys for the advice. I know it sounds stupid but I don't really want to pay $30 for a microSD card, even if it is Class 10 and only $10 more than what I'm looking for. I think I'm just gonna get the SanDisk Class 4 because I'm mainly using it just music storage and ROMs. I'm still keeping an eye out for good deals on eBay though for Samsung Class 10's but most of those seem fake coming from Hong Kong lol.
I just had my 16gb PNY class 10 fail on me, taking out about 200 pictures since I procrastinated on regularly backing it up. I don't think I'll ever use PNY again, beware if you do. When this card was being on sale at bestbuy last year, other people had reported odd issues with theirs but I thought it was just a coincidence. Guess not.
NOTE: Polaroid memory cards are made by PNY.

Little of both. He is not listed and has been doing EBAY for over a year. Thats a good sign. The better sign is all 4 I received test perfect and do not show the poor ink blotching and off color plastic as fakes. So I feel fairly confident. When fakes are being sold the negative reviews stack p fast. I just looked and it said 3 left? He may get more I hope.
I did search and another seller with them at 23.95 and they are not on negative list. I have not seen them so do not want to refer you if fake. But no negative reviews and also solid account.

Yeah, there are. I remember back in the days I would buy fake chinese memory cards for my PSP. They were so incredibly cheap.
For my phone I want the real deal though, don't want to lose the pictures and the data, as for the PSP there were only ISO's on there.
(FYI; the fake ones still work, even after 7 years of which they were used constantly for 5 years)

I've got a Class 4 TDK 32GB one at the moment. Picked it up for 25 euros in a Media Markt here in Belgium, it was one of the best deals there was at the time.
Sucks that we have this extra 'Data Copy Tax' that makes storage so much more expensive in Belgium!

Sandisk 32GB Class 10 from DX?

Anyone have any experience from the Sandisk 32GB Class 10 from DealExtreme?
I'm looking for a good sd card and I think this one fits my needs.
I have ordered from DX a long time ago when they had flashcarts and a flashlight, but I have no expereince with buying an microsd card from them.
There's a chance it is fake, but as long as it works it doesn't bother me at all.
Looking at the reviews it seems good and I'm about to order, just want to see what you guys think of it or if anyone of you guys have bought an sd card from them.
Here's the link: http://dx.com/p/sandisk-micro-sd-tf-memory-card-w-sd-adapter-32gb-class-10-139290
It's for $28.70
Thanks!
If you don't need the adapter thingy, they're a couple of dollars cheaper for the same card at amazon. Also less of a chance you'd get burned by a fake.

I'll go check it out, thanks!
Now is a class 10 even necessary for a S3?
Probably not absolutely necessary but the price differential between that and a lower class (speed) one isn't that great (couple of dollars) to make the cheaper one a 'bargain'.

You will be surprise. It really makes a difference when browsing through my gallery. All videos and photos are stored on my external SD.
I had a San disk 64 gb extreme card for a year and my media scanner service was always in the top three for battery usage. I have a transcend 64 gab class 10 and media scanner is now in the lower five.
