LEEDROID GB3.0.1DESIRE HD using XDA PREMIUM

I have a Belkin F8N153ea quilted netbook sleeve with strap - For up to 12.1 inch laptops/netbook that I got from macro for 5 quid it fits the pad very nicely and it lives in my 10 quid man bag from asda I can't post links yet so if you want to look at the bag go to asda site and george section and its under holiday shop men's accessories I have the khaki one btw black looked ****

Hi mate,
I've had the TF for over 2 weeks now, and so far the only thing I have bought is a capacitive stylus. I also bought a 10.1 inch case off amazon, but not very happy with that one (it fits fine, just concerned about scratching the corners with the zipper), so it is going back.
Well I was impressed by the Asus Sleeve when I saw it, but given the price on amazon, I don't think I'll be getting it.
I also have an old 4gb class 6 microSD in the TF, and with the 16gb internal I still have a lot of space.
Hope this helps,
rio

Is that the PNY one? I've never had much luck with them, but if that price is true for a class 10, I may give it a go.
Do you have yours yet? Can you test the read/write speeds?

I got one of these cases: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Shoulder-Carr...ccessories&hash=item5d2e6ab642#ht_1449wt_1139
and this is the SD card I got: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/205821
No complaints so far.

I had a thought for you combat goofwing, regarding the USB extension. When I got my HTC Desire all those months ago, I believe that I got a USB extension cable with it. I notice that you have a Desire HD so I thought that you might have got one with you HD as well? I havent actually tested if the extension works correctly becuase I have subsequently lost it...

I was looking at that one but found a website (see below links) where many people where complaining that the one they received was unbranded and slow, however when they complained they then received a pny branded unit, would be interested to know which one you got

I like it and is nice and compact. It cost £30 which is one of the more expensive ones but that's how much I had in vouchers from my b'day so didn't really mind spending them all.

Anyone found any screen protectors for under a ten quid?
Still waiting for some gel cases to show up too!.
(I know it's gorilla glass but my phone is gorilla glass and that has a scratch)

I emailed Asus the other day asking about their official cases and when they were being released. No reply yet
Seems a shame that such an awesome tablet has surfaced with no specific cases being made available. The one on Amazon is 1 - 3 weeks delivery. Which means they don't bloody have it.

Hi, I just passed by and wanna give a shout, it’s really nice to get £20 off ViewSonic ViewPad at PLAY online shop from EverydaySale.

Anyone tried to buy the following at Amazon: Asus EeePad Transformer TF101 10.1 inch Tablet PC (nVidia Tegra2 1GHz, 1Gb, 16Gb eMMC, WLAN, BT, Android 3.0) with docking station and keyboard by Asus, the discount price is £418.13, is it acceptable? Any idea?

mb write, 16mb read. Benchmarked with AnTuTu in my EVO LTE.
Yes, this MicroSD Class 10 card actually lives up to it's speed. Look at the 50+ reviews it has. 4/5 star rating.
Oh btw, newegg gives free 2 day shipping with any purchase. Yay.
I actually bookmarked this yesterday to grab a bit later.

I ordered this as well and am patiently waiting to give it a whirl.

Got the sd card 3 days ago. Transferred 1.3gb of pictures .apk apps etc. from my laptop to the card. Windows said it averaged 8.9mb/s. I will download an sd card benchmark app and see what I get on my phone.

I am more looking into this one by ADATA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211558
Same price but seems to have better speed reviews. Plus going through ebates, it will be even cheaper
@ skull - I was going to get that instead of G.skill one since I've had a good experience with A-data SD cards
I have an A-data 16gb class6 SD card that I bought 4 years ago, still works like a charm!

You know I would be mad at this G. Skill 32GB Micro SD but I got it on sale. Original price of $29.99 and had a promo code on May 13 to get an extra $8 off. Add free two day shipping to that and it's just a sweet deal.
I'm disappointed in speeds but for around $22 it was a steal.
P.S. I know more read/write with an SD card is good, but what for actually? I mean this in all honesty. I have no clue. I can access my songs and apps in less than a second upon touch. Boot time is maybe faster? Someone enlighten me.

It allows you to get stuff done quicker. Burst mode picture will probably be higher quality. The big one for me (and the main reason why I bought a class 10 for the first time) is that it will allow you write to the card faster and ultimately allow you to take a higher resolution video. Might help a little with pictures too in burst mode.
Sorry for going a bit off topic but this is a little of my recent background:
I am a firefighter and I just bought a helmet camera. Since it has 0 internal storage, I am forced to buy an sd card. I was talking to the technology committee (which I am a part of) and they agreed that I should get a class 10 card so I can take high resolution videos of us training and doing actual firefighting. Best part is, I got the station to pay for 2 . After training or whatever, I can take the card out and plug it into my Transformer Prime and I can stream it over the TV.
For the average Joe, a class 10 might not be all that exciting. I haven't gotten one before because I have never felt the need to get one.
I also just got the Gskill card, just no phone to stick it in (grrrrrrr)
Using h2testw on my computer, I got 9.5-10.6 MB/s sequential write speed, and 17ish MB/s read speeds.
Good enough for me.

i believe the card he is referring to is class 10 uhs-1. thats a pretty great deal seeing as i got the class 6 uhs-1 for 40.. i didn't look hard though..
wondering though, card states up to 30MB/s.. is that read time only? will this still well outperform a class 6 uhs-1 for capturing video or does anyone know if both cards are adequate/overkill?
My order is already in packaging. Oh well. I probably would have went with the ADATA anyways since the reviews are generally good.
I bought this card a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier! If you want a true test of the card speed you can not use the phone, use your pc. I recommend using ATTO disk benchmark. I consistently get 11.9 write and 20.1 read. class 10 and then some!

The best Sd card, under say £50 ? pleease. :)

hi guys, so far ive only done a quick e-bay search and came across the (San disk 64GB Mobile Ultra Class 10 UHS-I Micro SD SDXC Memory Card)
Its going for £45. i will go up to £50 if it can beat that. as in better for my HTC EVO 3D, it will be kept standard most likely and used for music, internet and movies. with camera used and camcorder often too.
i stupidly bought/bid/won a no brand 32 GB for £10. it worked fine till about 6 hours later and it doesn't recognise it at all, and its not been switched off or settings messed with. it works with no adaptors in the PC/laptops either.
so its not the phone, must be the card. any ideas ?
cheers
Please excuse the mistakes, i blame this cloudy cider i be drinkin' yarr.
The card your looking at seems nice. At least it's name brand this time. :thumbup:
The 3d officially supports up to 32GB, but people report running the 64GB ones with no issues. I'd get it.
Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
Not sure which SanDisk card you are looking at but this one on amazon.uk seems to be compatible with the Evo 3D based on the second review on the US Amazon site.
I don't know how that compares to your eBay option, but I've heard some horror stories about people getting fake high capacity cards from eBay sellers that actually have much lower capacity, and I generally get what I'm expecting from Amazon.
I've read other places that currently Android doesn't really take advantage of anything higher than a class 6 card, but even if that's true you will be prepared for the future.

Hi yes sandisk or kingston make very good quality sd cards for an affordable price you should also go for class 6 for faster read and write speeds
They should most definitely under 50 euros if you buy online

Well i made the plunge and got myself one.
yeah the 64GB does work, i just need to format it as it comes as factory formatted exFAT and i need to reform to NTFS.
sorted
Infact the one i have ordered is specific for android so i presume it has an app on the card which means i dont need to format it and change it.

128GB microSDXC card availability?

Last year SanDisk said (source: can't find it again) to expect 128GB microSDXC cards by the end of Q3 2013 (september), but, we're... still... waiting. I wonder what the holdup is?
As soon as they're spotted in the wild, I'll be buying one on day1 for the expected ~$100 asking price, which'll bring my total Note3 capacity up to 192GB(!). Also never had a corrupted card issue from SanDisk, unlike some others, so no qualms there.
And before anyone asks: Yes, 128GB is compatible with the Note3, even though the specs says only 64GB is supported. They always do that. the microSDXC spec actually supports up to 2TB, and there's no reason why the phone shouldn't be able address up to 2TB in hardware or software.
Anyway... keep an eye out folks. It'll look something like...... THIS:

EDIT (5 months later): 128GB is here! Only $120 at Amazon (sold out until April 9th); or $200 MSRP at BestBuy now. Might pop up on EBay (non-scam that is) before Amazon gets it back in stock.
Yup, i was one of those Crazy Early Adopters, see link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343164
those 64GB were going for $200 from the official SanDisk website.
Then 6 month later Best Buy had them for like $80, i almost went kaput
so this time around I'll just wait until the prices drop before ordering the 128 GB version

Ouch So you got yours in November of 2011 and paid the high early adopter tax.
I didn't have a SDXC capable phone until I picked up my S3 in June 2012, and only paid... $64.49 for my 64GB sandisk off of Ebay via China. Was a good deal at the time, as the price averaged higher for a few months following as demand for SDXC picked up (thanks to S3 sales).
I'm hoping the 128GB sdxc won't be so obscenely overpriced at launch.
I paid over $100 for a class 10 32GB. A year or so later they are less than half that. lol. O well, I wanted fast speeds and I got it. I just paid a hell of a lot of money at the time to get it (compared to what they cost now).

The 128gb will be around $220USD at launch, possibly more. That was the price of 64gb cards at launch.

Definately interested
I am definitely interested. Building up a big library of stuff on my current 64GB and wondering how that is going to continue working for me... Especially since we are all stuck with 32GB of memory instead of the option for more... What about the other card providers?
Isn't $200 for 128GB a huge ripoff?
Considering you have high Performance SSDS with longer durability AND built-in controllers with cache for nearly 50 cents per gig.
And how much larger are those SSDs than a microSD card?

Weird. My 64GB Sandisk has been working just fine for the last year and half, in a S3 and Note3. It's formatted Fat32 instead of exFAT, though, due to early compatibility issues with ROMs and recoveries. Will be reformatting as either exFAT or ext4 depending on when CM10 for the Note3 is ready.

have you even seen the inside of an SSD? Hint: Mostly empty space. The actual Memory chip is about the same size.
They just omit the extra high performance components (Like cache, controllers) on Micro SD packages.
Instead of putting in ONE big capacity chip = SLOW , they put a couple smaller chips So they can work FASTER in parallel
Same flash Memory technology , less Side components = more $?

I have the exact SanDisk card you have in your picture (64GB) and started using it in my S3, now have it in my Note 3. It has always worked perfectly. These caveats may be what helped achieve this success:
1. Never reformatted the card.
2. Never rooted either phone
3. Never took the card out unless the phone had finished turning off and was unplugged.
4. Never took the card out of the reader on my PC unless I first went into windows explorer and first selected "eject" for that drive letter, and waited until the message popped up on the desktop saying it was OK to disconnect that drive.

You serious? Those chips are usually 8/16/32gigs and they're bigger and thicker though not a lot. Yes, you're right they work in parallel, but they need ram, controllers and a lot more energy to work how they do and how fast. Shrinking 128gb to micro SD size is probably secondary to getting it to work reliably.

You serious? Those chips are usually 8/16/32gigs and they're bigger and thicker though not a lot. Yes, you're right they work in parallel, but they need ram, controllers and a lot more energy to work how they do and how fast. Shrinking 128gb to micro SD size is probably secondary to getting it to work reliably.

That's what I Mean, SD Cards have less Components but higher cost.
BTW, sdcards have internal controllers just lower performance Ones.
Hard to believe the cost of minutarizaton (which usually brings costs DOWN) is higher than the cost of enhanced performance .
Should at least balance out.
Any update on the 128GB micro-sdxc?
Can't find anything yet. Did SanDisk get sent back to the drawing board?

I have found this on Amazon... seems to cheap to be true but I was thinking of giving it a go. I can't post links as I'm a new user but just search amazon uk for samsung 128gb micro sd.
What are your thoughts?
Hopefully not this one.

Looks FAKE to me but I could be wrong.

That's the one! It does look fake indeed and only £50... suspicious! If anyone decided to go for it please let us know!

Can anyone help me decide which memory card is the best to get for my note 3 ?
Would be the one with the fastest transfer and reliability
Cheers Guys

I am using ADATA 64gb class 10. I got for good price on Newegg $48. Newegg sent me a coupon for subscribing. This is only a few weeks old and no problems.
I have 3 ADATA 32gb class 10, that have been working well for a few years. Since these had a good track record I went for the 64gb.
Note 3
Don't ever get patriot.
Had a patriot SSD = failed after a year.
Had a patriot MicroSD = failed after a year, with photos on it! Was able to recover them and did a slow format only to have it be unrecognized a few days later...
Sandisk now with a lifetime warranty

Thanks for posting.
Screw Patriot memory. At work we bought about 100 for development, and although we were hard on them, almost every one failed within a couple of months. Switched to SanDisk and everything was fine. Personally (not work), almost every Patriot brand product I've ever owned (RAM and SD) has croaked. Their warranty is solid, when something is under it they have *zero* problems replacing a product and doing it quickly, but simply not worth thee downtime.

Don't buy this card yet! (64GB)
I'm having damaged sd card problem (like a batch of Ultra with Note 2 and S3) with this card,
and I've already got an replacement from SanDisk and showing the same issue.
I'm contacting them and SanDisk seems to be working on this problem.

Got SanDisk Ultra microSDXC and works very well for me. No issues so far.
I'm using the Sandisk 64gb ultra, which I've used for about a year in my Note 2. I have the Sandisk extreme 64gb on order since I'd like to take advantage of the usb 3.0. I transfer movies a lot to my phone, so the extreme should be twice as fast.
Same here, im debatin if I should wait for the 128gb micro sdxc or just buy a 128gb sdcard and buy one of those microsd to sdcard adapters.
Sent from my note 2 ya bish!
Problem is here i'm not sure if the Note 3 can even take advantage of the Extreme cards. I swear I read somewhere that they're only a few more MB/s faster than Ultras in the S4. HUGE speed difference using a USB card reader though.

How do you get files onto the sd card? Can you directly transfer to it when it's plugged into you note?

anyone notice overheating issues when using a Sandisk Ultra micro SD 64GB card? Mine overheats when the card is mounted but returns to normal temps when I unmount the card and remove it completely from the phone. I am not sure why this happens.

128 Gb microsd card released

Just a quick note to let people know that Sandisk has released a 128 gb micro sd card that is out now. You can get it from Best Buy. Amazon also carries it.
The price is $199 at Best Buy. Amazon has it for $119.
Grab it folks!
Already ordered mine
Unable to use with this device, though, right(I have the 8.4)? It only accepts cards up to 64gb.
Edit: it only SEES cards up to 64gb.

Nope it will support it, it says up to 64gb because that is all that was available at the time of release.

You can also mount USB flash drives via USB otg. I've successfully mounted sd cards and an ssd this way

Be interested in seeing if there are any issues with using it with the Pro 8.4. I have a 64GB now but would love to put a 128GB in it.
Works like a charm! You get 119 GB total capacity after formatting.

Awesome! Thanks for checking. That's a $1 a gig!
Except for the Galaxy Nexus, I'm new to Samsung (have owned Pandigital Novel, Toshiba Thrive, and many Google tabs/phones) so would appreciate knowing if there are any micro cards I need to avoid (not brands--unless you know of specific ones that are troublesome on this device, but types such as SDXC). I wouldn't think there would be any limitations for this tablet (just pre-ordered the 12.2 tab pro), but thought I'd ask you experts.
It's great to know about the 128GB capability, but 64GB will suffice for the thousands of comic books.

I can't complain about 119 gigs, that's a crapload of storage for a tablet. I wonder why 119 out of 128, though? There is no software on it correct?

That's normal, 119 is what you will get once the the storage device is formated. You are not guaranteed the full 128GB. Its been like this for storage devices since the beginning. 119GB sounds right for a Marketed 128GB Drive.
There will never be software installed on a blank storage device.

The Tab Pro 10.1 is my first Samsung device, and my first SD card I ever bought was for this device, so I'm no expert. It's a 64 GB MicroSDXC Class10 card by Transcend, and it works fine. I can watch movies from it with no problems.
I actually called Samsung support and they said the SDXC type of card should work, even if their web site didn't list it. It lists SDHC/SHD SD Card, whatever SHD is.
The card I bought comes with an adapter, and I also bought this card reader too.
Hope this helps.
Thank you, it really helps as I was looking at that type of card exactly. Coincidentally, I bought that card reader in Sept. to use with my N4 and N7. Now I use it with N5 and N7 FHD.

EDIT March 5: Amazon is running specials Sony cards and drives--no 128's. I ordered the 64GB SDXC Class 10 that I wanted for $36.
Remember guys, best buy now matches amazon prices as long as its sold directly by amazon. So if its more convenient to just stop by a best buy and pick it up you can save $80 (I just price matched an amazon price for a iPhone 5c case for my sister at best buy the other day. I'm from the us if that matters.

This card isn't eligible for price matching. There's some small print on the matching even though sold by amazon. It needs to have a lpg (low price guarantee) icon on the BB item. I just spoke with a CSR on it .
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
Technically, you are correct but I simply stopped by a store and had the sales girl enter the order at Amazon price. She simply just checked the price at Amazon site and entered $119 as adjusted price. Sometimes ignorance or oversight is a bliss.
Also., the Amazon.com version is Asian one whereas Best Buy is carrying the USA one.
I just price matched mine over the phone with Best Buy. $127.33 was my total and I get it next week.
UPDATE: Shipping was really fast. I guess they sent it over night. Works great on my 8.4!

Thanks to those of you who took the plunge and tested that it works, can't wait to get my hands on one now!
I'm seriously loving this tab. Upgraded from the P7510 which lasted me well for the last few years, but this tab is something else - the screen is soooooo beautiful :laugh:
