Upgrade SD card

Looking for suggestions. first of all, has anybody filled up the packaged 8gb memory on your phone? and if you've upgraded your SD card, please let me know what kind and how much, I saw a 16gb mircroSDHC from newegg but the reviews were not so great:
*well apparently I cannot post outside links
but here is the item number from newegg.com N82E16820139121

I upgraded to a Winston 16GB Class 10, I got about 4GB's left due to music and movies

Upgraded to a WinTec 16GB class 6 on the first day! It worked awsome!

using the 16gb sandisk that came with my HD2...works fine, (didn't work for crap in the HD2 though). I do not keep a lot of music on it anymore now that I use Slacker almost exclusively...but I do have a couple movies on there at the moment.
I am using the 8GB that came with my MT4G in my HD2 to run Android (works fine as well)
I'm sure you shouldn't have a problem with anything up to a 32gb...just buy from a respectable seller, I have heard a lot of horror stories about cards off ebay

cool, thanks fellas, looks like I'll just go with a 16gb gonna go for a class 10 one.

i'd recommend class 6 since the hardware can barely read as fast as a class 10 card.
but if you wanna spend the extra bucks on wasted speed, go ahead =P

I took the 16gb class 6 sd that came in my Fender mytouch and popped it in. Ive got about about 4.8gb left with music, movies and roms on it. Since there arent any roms that use ext or swap yet, theres really no way to tell how well it functions other then the music and the movies play fine lol

actually I dont, so I'll save some monies and go with a class 6

I bought a 32gb memory card class 4 from Adorama for 99.99 with free shipping. Got it and made sure I ran a speed tester on it and it passed. No complaints... however took forever to arrive lol I'm a music junkie and I was about dead by the time I got it because by then I had already sold the one preinstalled.

Just kinda agreeing with agentaaron, my 16gig that came with my hd2 didnt work so well with the hd2 but it loves the mytouch..cant figure it out as I thought it as a defective card...but works just fine.

ok, so I got a 16gb card class 10 for 30 bucks from the egg, can I just copy/paste everything over from my stock card onto the new one and my phone should work just fine but with the extra storage space correct?

yup, thats what I did, no issues so far

1) Copy your whole card to your HDD
2) Download Astro from Market
3) Open Astro, hit Menu, Tools, SD Card Usage
4) Find out what is taking up all the room
5) Use your noggin to delete what YOU think you don't need
6) Remember that you made a backup
Back OT:
I've narrowed down my choices for my new 16GB card to the Wintec Class 10 on Newegg for ~30 or the Komputerbay Class 6 for ~40. Only the reviews so far are making it a tough decision. Will you guys with either card please revisit this thread next week and post your findings after repeated use?

Posting Findings
Got my 16GB Wintec Class 10 in the mail on Friday.
Tested with CrystalDiskMark 64-bit using the prepackaged SD adapter in my laptops SD slot 3 times each.
Sequential Reads 13MB/s+
Sequential Writes 11-12MB/s
I'm impressed. I will continue to use and report back findings.
Going to get my wife one for her MT4G and another one for the Nook Color (X-mas gift) I will be getting.
EDIT:
Tested the stock SanDisk 8GB Class 4 that came with the phone:
Sequential Read : 11 MB/s
Sequential Write: 5.3 MB/s
slightly above the Class 4 rating. Going to keep this card as my 'Movies' card for long trips and such.
Tested my Transcend 8GB Class 6 from my G1:
Sequential Read : 12.5 MB/s
Sequential Write: 6.0 MB/s
Just meeting Class 6 requirements. Will put my daughter's movies on it.

Help me find a good microsd card?

Hello Let me get staight to the point....So after 3 months of owning my s2 I just realised that the sd card in it was a 8gb class 2 micro sd card. And that just won't do! So I've been scouring the internet for some kind of a good sd card. Of course I want the best for the best right? So I've been trying to find a 16GB class 10. But I don't want to pay too much money for it.
So I've found this sd card:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0054KHY8C/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_g147_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Y1NVT4GBQ6KCPJC1XEG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294
And this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00698ZUHK/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_g147_i7?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Y1NVT4GBQ6KCPJC1XEG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294
So can anyone help me choose a right one? and maybe provide some links? I would really be glad if it was on amazon.co.uk only
Thanks a lot

i don't think that a class 10 card will be that much different from class 6 card for use with the SGS2.
you better stick with SanDisk Or Samsung cards , even if they are a little expensive but they are good quality.

Good supplier good brand name is all i would bother with . Been running a no name class 2 16Gb for months no problems . But it would have been a own brand product from one of the big outlets probably Amazon .
jje

Class 4 is fast enough I think. Using a sandisk 32gb class 4 with no issues at all regarding read/write speed.

Here's my 8gb integral ultima pro class 10, its pretty fast.

Samsung one is fake
if u wanna buy a good card for less go for samsung 32gig class 10 card ( try to find orignal

Transcend 16GB Class 6, quite a performer with Class 10 speeds.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026L7DGA/ref=oh_o00_s00_i01_details

i've got mine sandisk 32gb class 4 cause i need a lot of space for music and some movies...pretty good for 243 saudi riyals.

Stick with sandisk or transcend and you won't go wrong. In terms of class, i don't think it will make that big of a difference on your phone. Just stick above class 4 and you should be fine.

Hey
I got one of these. its a great cards for the money and its from a trustable source as there are many fakes out there

I am waiting for this one to my S2: SanDisk 32GB Mobile Ultra Micro SD (SDHC) Card - Class 10 UHS-1
what do you think?

Definitely one of the best! Good choice. I'm waiting for the same one!
Sent from my GT-I9100

I would never buy anything other than sandisk. Got countless ones knocking around in various sizes and classes, been trodden on, dropped in water, in and out of different phones, into readers upside down and back to front and never an ounce of problems. Rock solid.

I can just confirm that, tried with others but finally I have always bought sandisk. Now the only other card is 8GB which I get in Nokia 5800 sales pack.
Sent from my I9100 @syiah5 using xda premium app

I bought http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...s/MB-MSBGA/EU?subsubtype=micro-sd-accessories and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I had crazy luck with the store which was selling it under the real price and bought it for only ~25 euros. Two days later (and ~20 more sold microsd cards to all my friends) they corrected the price.
Anyways, being class 10, this card is awesome. Read speeds are very high, and I don't see any difference between the internal memory and this card either, although I haven't done any real tests, just the everyday usage.
Also, I have huge amount of it filled with music and pictures, and the phone seems to cope with it just fine, so I give you full recommendation for this one.
PS: It came with two year warranty, even here in Serbia!

Always buy Sandisk Also I think the class difference is only apparently when taking HD videos to prevent stuttering when recording.

The class rating of your micro SD card generally defines how quickly information can be read from or written to the card.
If you’re recording a lot of high-definition videos and snapping high-megapixel shots, Class 6 and above is enough.Higher number will ensure that your device won’t slow down between shots.

If only I could have waited....I just bought a Sammy 32gb Class 10 card for $30 shipped, just $20 and I could have gotten double the storage and a faster card even though this one is just a Class 6. Jump on it guys, this is the best prices I've seen this go for yet!

Just bought two Hopefully can flip the second one to make mine super cheap. Came just in time too, getting a galaxy S3 soon and gonna move my old 16GB into my new nook color.

just ordered mine!!!

How does this compare (other than obviously double the size) to my 32Gb Class 10 Micro SD card? Is this thing faster than my card, even though this new one is a class 6?

I went ahead and ordered this one. I had a $25 Best Buy gift card that I was waiting to use, so with tax this card was only $29!
My current card gets 8.9 MB/s Write and 20.8 MB/s Read. If this new card doesn't match those numbers, I'll just Ebay this thing and make a bit on it and keep my current card. If this new card is faster, it'll pair quite nicely with my 32Gb Blue SG3 that I ordered! Thumbs up to the Op, thanks!

Doesn't look like we even have these in Canada. Boo!

DAMNIT! I gotta stay out of this forum. Great deal, but I need to hold off if I can. My uncle works for a company in Cali that makes SD cards. He is sending me a couple 32GB Micro SD's for free. Love to buy this, but a free 32 will do me just fine.

Prove it.

i think its in reference to the class 6, I dont understand it myself but the card boasts up to 30 megs, but then calls itself class 6. Reading on Sandisk's website it says that the "class" rating is "worst case" scenario. The Class 6 seems to be geared for specs on video data while the 30 megs a sec spec talks about picture data.
could anyone clear up the info? ty

The SGS3 supports exFat, the recommended format to get the maximum speeds from these cards.
Other phones using this card were or are formatted as Fat32 which are not the correct format to take full advantage of this cards perks.

that is supposed to be uhs-i capable and the 30mb/s it's advertising is for the read speed. that's just strategy for companies, because they know not everyone sees the * and then reads the fine print for its description.
and as it says in sandisk's website the write speed is slower, that's where the class rating comes in it will write at speeds it is rated.
30mb/s read speed is achievable if the gadget reading the card is also uhs-i compliant.
the class ratings shows that their cards will reach it's class rating's read and write speed.knowing sandisk their speeds usually exceed their class rating's speed. class 6 will read and write at least 6MB/s, class 10 will read and write at least 10MB/s
http://www.sandisk.com/products/mob...crosdhc-and-microsdxc-uhs-i-cards-for-android
according to that only the 4gb is class 6.
8gb and up are all class 10.
btw, op's pic is different from sandisk's website.

this is the official sandisk's:
it doesn't have the 1 that is enclosed, which is UHS Speed Class 1 (U1)

I was reading this
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1996/kw/class
and it talks about
Rated Speed (e.g. 15MB/s, 30MB/s, etc.) is maximum speed of the card and also what you would expect to approximately see in typical usage of writing or reading files on the card. This measurement is pertinent to still photography, especially for taking pictures with high resolution and/or saving in RAW format where the files created are very large.
and
Speed Class is a minimum speed based on a worst case scenario test. The Speed Class is important for video mode or camcorders, where the device is actually saving a steady stream of data.
It definitely is worded weird, maybe to confuse but it kind of sounds like 30MB/s is what you "could" see under optimal conditions where the device supports such speeds too. But, what do i know.

64Gb SD card
From my experience, don't touch SanDisk. These are awful. Stick with genuine Samsung. Both Galaxy S3's and Note's kill the SanDisk Ultra cards and others.
Just look on FleeBay and you'll see loads of SanDisk Ultra cards being offered.

Buy Samsung 64GB class 10, works right out of the box, stay away from sandisc.:good:

Well, I've been using SanDisk for many MANY years and have never had a single problem...ever!
My current card is the one pictured below and it has been flawless and worked fine out of the box.

Sandisk 64gb working fine out of the box for me! Also use one in my Sensation for 1,5 years, no problems

Sandisk has had few reports of faulty cards. But the reason why we hear so much about it is because this card is the most common and best sold. I'm pretty sure Samsung may have the same deffective rate as any other branch, but this card is less common.
I have a 64GB Sandisk Class 10 and haven't had an issue with it. I have a 32GB Sandisk on another tablet and it worked right out of the box for me. I also have another 64GB Sandisk Class 10 on my Note 2 phone; I've had couple of class 4s in the past from Sandisk and I can't say any of them have failed me.

I have a verbatim 16gb class 10, samsung 32gb class 10 and also sandisk 64gb class 10 mini sd cards, none of them ever gave me any trouble, used them in multiple devices and no problems at all.
my advice buy the cheapest one you can find but use a reputable dealer(like amazon) so the card can be returned or replaced in case of any problems

the main thing is, just watch out for fakes and you shouldn't get any problems, both sandisk and samsung are good memory cards but with samsung you have to pay a bit more but you do pay for quality though.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57334095-1/google-reunites-lost-waterlogged-camera-owner/
I like Samsung too, but have always used SanDisk in my dslr, with zero issues. And it seems they are tough

I use SanDisk (32gb) in my dslr and 64gb in my galaxy note 10.1. Never had any problems. I have also purchased cards from all of the major manufacturers and never had a failed card. I'm guessing that's because I never bought a card off ebay, so never experienced a fake. My advice is: avoid ebay! Buy from a reputable retailer, not a market.... you're more likely to get the real goods (yes, I'm aware some reputable retailers trade on ebay. So if you have to use ebay, stick to them).
Good luck

the first time I ever had a problem with a memory card (SD, CF, MicroSD) was last week with a top of the line Sandisk Ultra who was in my Note 10.1.
Neither the Note or my SGS3 can see it at all, and my PC can only see it sometimes but I cant format it (error message).
Do what you want with this info, I only shared my experience and I am the first the be surprise with this result.

But at least you have a lifetime warranty on these and are able to get them replaced at no charge to you....
Read up on the sandisk website. Just make sure you register it so you can then RMA it and get a replacement...

ive got this 1 not a single problem with it bought it off ebay for 40 pounds

I am probably asking an obvious question here, but does the Note 10.1 support 64GB SD cards? Their spec page says "up to 32 GB".
Oops - just looked again and it does say 64GB. I must have read the 32GB max on a different site.

Sand Disk 64GB For S3

Hi,
A small question - I have heard of many problems from people trying to work with a 64GB microsd on the S3.
Sould i buy a 32 or a 64 GB card?
A 64GB card may fail (thus burning my money)?
Is there a way to load files greater than 4GB and the S3 will read them properly - such as movies etc.?
Thanks!

32 GBs is plenty of memory and with 64 it will be definitely slower than 32

Me too, I've had a 64GB Sandisk card in my phone since the phone was launched and have never had a problem with it.

Any other comments regarding the speed?
does the card comes boxed with EXFAT format?

Probably yes AS this is the best FAT for 64GB. Speeds will be to the point that you should not put any APP data on it, photos will refresh slow (Due to MediaCollector having to scan whole 64GB).
It shouldnt be a problem in S3 with built memory, so go for it

Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII on TouchWiz 4.4.2 with Conquest: Singularity v2.2, Ktoonsez' latest kernel and the latest Philz Touch Recovery.

I bought the 64gb when it first came out and was priced at $300 lol. I got it on sale for $40. Talk about a total screw you fee for early adopters. Works fine. I have 30gb of music on it. I bought the Sandisk class 10 which seems pretty fast and have never had to wait. They even have a nice sandisk app that helps with moving files around between internal and external sd cards.

I too have a SanDisk 64Gb class 10 card and it works great. I have a bunch of TV show loaded along with music.

Hi,
A small question - I have heard of many problems from people trying to work with a 64GB microsd on the S3.
Sould i buy a 32 or a 64 GB card?
A 64GB card may fail (thus burning my money)?
Is there a way to load files greater than 4GB and the S3 will read them properly - such as movies etc.?
Thanks!

Why? If you do such a Statement you should also justify it.
I bought a 64 GB class 10 together with the S3 over 2 years ago. A need a lot of space, because a have a large music library.
So far there have never been problems or lags.

32 GB's memory is quite enough,if bigger,there would be more time to scan the whole disk.Would lower the speed.

Well, in my case 32 GBs aren't enough. As already mentioned my music library is about 30 GBs large. Therefore I need at least 64 GB.
And because I'm using a class 10 card, I almost doesn't feel a difference in speed between the internal memory and the sd.
Summary for the threadstarter:
If you really need a lot of space, it doesn't matter which card ist slower or faster. You have to buy at least the 64 GB card.
If you don't need that much and it doesn't look like you're going to need it in the near future, then you should of course buy the 32GB. You safe money and (a little bit) speed.

Yeah.I would agree with your summary.
BTW,your music library is really huge.Is it difficult to find out a specific music from so many music in your music library?
