I had a Kingston 8GB Micro SD SDHC which worked perfectly on my Kaiser. But after losing it, I ended up buying a replacement on ebay and the transference speed is incredible slow. I copied 1.5 MB of pictures, and it took like 10 seconds; 3 songs took like 5 minutes, maybe more.
Do SDHC cards need to be formatted in a certain way, or do they need something to make it work faster? I want to be sure before sending it back for a refund.
Note. I used the card reader and the USB adapter, I haven't even put it in my Kaiser, so they problem can't be related to the phone.

Do you know what the class speed of the new card is? The class speed is the transfer rate of the card.
Class 2 = 2mb/sec
Class 4 = 4mb/sec
Class 6 = 6mb/sec
Thanks, but even if it were the slowest class, isn't 5 minutes for 3 songs, too slow? The songs were like 3mb each.
I would agree that yes it is slow. I also wouldn't set those transfer rates in stone.
Are you sure the card you bought is original ?
Because there are so many fake memory card on ebay and personaly i wouldn't trus ebay for buy memory card
maybe formating the card with an other cluster size helps...
ebay scammed me twice for memory, once with a sandisk cruzer and another with a sony pro duo. they rebrand oem ****ty ones with the casing and sell it for double the amount. be careful man. you might want to defrag it too, that will help tramendously. also, turn off encryption if youre on wm6.1 pro. encryption makes reading anything a drag.
Not to steal your thread, but didnt want 2 threads on similiar topics.
I'm looking to buy an 8GB micro sd card. What class should I buy: 2,4, or 6? Also what brand: Sandisk or Kingston?
Buy the fastest you can get but not if 6 is double the cost of 4. Brand doesn't matter in my opinion because Kingston and Sandsik are both good. I had a Kingston and now i have a Sandisk.

If you have warranty and not satisfied you can always change it, if not try reformating on a PC
Good luck,
Thanks for all your answers. I learned my lesson, never get a micro card from ebay, let alone from one of those Hong Kong sellers. I tried to reformat the card and it took hours. Contacting the seller took days and now they want me to send them the card so the can send me a replacement card instead of a refund.
Right now Newegg is selling a class 6 8GB micro card for $16.00: link but it's just the card and from A-DATA (?). I bought a Kingston card from newegg also ($20.00) and that one works great.
Hi,i bought an SD card from eBay,it supposed to be a 16gb class6 Samsung as in the picture and description.When it s finally arrived,it came with an SD adapter Samsung branded,but the micro SD it s withouth Samsung logo.So I tested It and the space is really 16gb,but the speed is not so good.So I tested it with sdtool under android,but can t understand if oem id or manufacturer Id is genuine from Samsung.I post a screenshot,can you help me?
Pic of card would be better. Chance are if you bought it from ebay it's a fake. Never buy memory cards from ebay!
I bought one off of ebay the other day, 8GB, so slow it is unbelievable. As posted above, never off ebay... NEVER.
Ok the seller offer me to replace with an original one or a mustang class 10.What about the mustang?seems pretty good in performance tests

Hey All,
There are lots of mixed reviews about the support for Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. in terms for micro sd cards compatibility... Is anyone running a 64gb sd with no problems?
I am running a 16gb with no issues at all, however I have cheap 64gb which will not copy the correct data & corrupts most of the time...I believe this is due to being a rubbish quality/copy...
If there is anyone out there that is running a 64gb with no issues, please confirm the spec!
Thanks in anticipation.
The cheap 64GB card is likely counterfeit. It is probably a 16 GB card hacked to appear to be a 64 GB card. This happened to me. Bought a counterfeit Sandisk from an Amazon seller. It looked really, really, real...but I kept having issues and once the subject of counterfeits was brought to my attention, I noticed the packaging said Made in China while the card said Made in Taiwan - Sandisk doesn't make any SD cards in Taiwan. Before I realized that, I bought a cheap class 10 Samsung off of eBay, that was fake too. Buy from a reputable retailer. Google a Windows app called H2testw if you want to confirm whether your SD card is a 64 GB card.
I have a T211 and am using a 64GB card I bought at Fry's. After formatting it inside the tablet, it worked fine, although after I initially transferred ~37GB from my PC directly to the card, I put it in the tab, and from then on my PC recognizes the card as read only. But I can write data to the SD Card as long as it is inside the tab.
are 128gb cards supported?
I have two Micro sd cards: A Transcend 32gb and a Sandisk 8gb
When i inserted the transcend i was able to use it. But soon later, it said to reformat it. Now it can't read it no matter what i do.
It reads the non formatted *gb just fine but i prefer the transcend much more.
ANYONE PLZ HELP ME!!
seems it is a bad card,the quality is not so good,maybe you damage it, or bad quality.
