32GB microSDHC Performance - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi has anyone bought a 32GB microSDHC card for their Mini/Pro? How is it?

I'm using a 32GB card to store my music on the phone. No problems with it. Works fine and it is just a class 4 card.
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Mini Pro

Thank you, that is great news. Does it take long for the Xperia Mini to read your SD card when you play music? 1 second, 5 seconds or?

32GB Would Work Fine But I Would Suggest Yuh To Buy A Higher Class MicroSD!!
Im Using 16GB Class 10 Card On My Xperia Mini!! Never Had Any Problem...!
Go For Atleast Class 6 or Above If Ur Looking For Performance Too...!
Would Cost Yuh A Lil Bit Of More Money But Would Worth It...!=)

Music just comes from speakers/headphones. No lag for me, so don't worry about the speed.
Says the person who has Class 4 16GB SDcard.

sorry i am a newbee..but could u tell me how to know whether the card is class 4 or 6 will it be written on memory card cover? or it depends on company which manufacture it?

It will be printed on card.(look for a big C numeral will be inside it)
Class 4 is sufficient. Class 6 is gud nd economical. Im using class 4 8gb, no issues

Time to report back!
Well I got a 32GB San Disk Class 4 and...it's brilliant...the music library doesn't need any time to load...it's all ready...and after synching music, it only has to load what's changed (sounds simple, but not all devices are do that, trust me!) so I'm very happy with it...the bottleneck so to speak is now the Sony music app...it doesn't connect very well to Media Go. I'll save that moaning for the right thread lol
p.s. there are many threads on here about testing the diffferent class performance of SD cards and Class 4 San Disk was by far the best...other class 10s did not perform better reading and writing...they performed worse. Very happy with class 4. I got it on ebay for 23€ by the way, too expensive in the shops.

it depend on brand also. scandisk class 4 higher speed than other brand with the same class.

Whatever you do don't use Sony Media Go to transfer music ... it keeps duplicating songs on my SD and screwing other stuff up...I've given up on it for now. Songbird does a good job.

Does our phone supports a 64gb class 6 SD card?
Sent from my SK17a using xda premium

No I believe the phone officially supports only up to 32GB...beyond that is risky.

who tried to use 16gb in lww?what class and brand do you prefer?yes iI know the higher the class, the better but lets cnsider the price

I will buy one if I have money

Using a Transcend 32gb MicroSDHC Class 10.
Works flawlessly and surprisingly fast (I've never had a class 10 before), though as with most, if not all, storage media, it becomes fragmented, thus I defrag once in a while..

1. Yes, max 32GB. Doesn't matter which type.
2. Yes.

Well true is normal micro sd have max 2gb microsdthc 4-32gb theses 2 formats are oficialy supported. Also few guys trying use sdxc (64gb and above) on multiple android device include xperia mini and when theses card are formated in phone on fat32 file system they just work but not with full speed. I see also from some1 sdxc need other votage and this use is risk. I try find this info later and maybe i test it self.

[Q] MicroSD Class good enough?

Hello,
I recently bought an 8GB microSD, class 4 (it's all I can afford ). Tested it for write speeds (output is 6.2MB/s). I assume I'm not gypped or something and I got the real deal (bought it at a computer store). I was wondering if this is good enough for the x10 mini pro if ever app2sd works.
Also I would like to know what capacity/class your microSDs are (for statistical purposes)
Thanks!
Are you sure 6Mb /s ? then its class 6 ... I have a 2GB .... yes app2SD will work

But I think it's class 4 or class 6. It can't be class 2 because it's waaay faster than 2mbps.

kabayan!
I have the original 2GB with me. i researched it and i think its Class 4 Kingston.
Micro SDs have Class 2 to Class 10 (Class 10 as the highest, having minimum of 10mbps speed, 16GB and 32GB I think).
I've read somewhere that its recommended to have Class 10 MicroSD if you'll be using Apps2sd. but if your 8GB works fine, thats cool.
I dont want to root my phone so no Apps2sd for me though i really really need more space in my internal storage now.
Im hoping the rumors are true that X10 mini and mini pro (and of course, the big x10) would get Froyo updates on 2011. I think Froyo natively allows installation of apps in SD right?
I bought my 16GB mSD class2 2009 for my Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia.
Dropped and ruined the Omnia in a puddle of water in the spring of 2010. But both SIM-card and the 16GB memory card survived the water even if the Omnia didn't
Still using the 16GB card for both photos and music as well as for a few movies in the X10 Mini.
I don't know why a class2 that shouldn't read or write more than 2MB/s does both well over it's 2 MB/s limits in the computer.
The SIM-card was destroyed this January as my contract with Telenor expired.

[Q] Micro SDHC 32GB

Did anyone tried Micro SDHC 32GB card with X10 after 2.1 Eclare Update?

the class reprezents the speed of your memory card
I bought a 32GB Kingston Class 4 and it keeps unmounting itself and overall lose contact with the phone but it works perfect in he PC.
I have done a 32GB filer verification so it's not a counterfeit 8GB in a 32GB disguise.
But I keep having trouble with it once it's in the phone.
It's a HTC Legend with BlaYo ROM
I have exactly the same micro SDHC (32 CB class4 Kingston) in a XPERIA X10 and it functions perfect. Try format with MiniToolPartitionWizard under Windows. Success!
I'm using a 16GB Class 10. Transferring songs are plainly drag and drop.
If you opt for speed over capacity, go for 16GB C10 instead. I'm using the Transcend one at 14MB/s writing speed. (priced at 33USD)
Well uh, why do you need 32GB for a phone?
what a question ))

I'm using one Transcend 16gb class 10 card, i can tell some things:
On the usb adapter it can WRITE at up to 16~20MB on linear writing and READ up to 22~25MB on linear reading.
This cards rocks, i had a sandisk 8gb class 6 mSD and will never regret this change.
This time i can get real HD recordings as before i would sometimes give me some small breaks when recording if for some reason anything tried to access the card at the same time.
By the way most class 6 cards record actually between 4~6MB!

Micro SD card suggestion for Xperia Mini Pro

I bought a Xperia Mini pro SK17i a few days back. It came with a 2GB memory card. I want to upgrade to larger space.
Please tell me should I go for 16GB or 32GB one. Will there be any problems? I mean any slowing down or hanging etc. Also tell me what class of microSD should I buy?
Im using a Class6,32G card on my mini,i think it's fast enough.
It matters how much space you need. Class 4 and above is fast enough for the XMP, not it is just your choice how much space you need . Im using Class 4, 32GB SD Card and I haven't got any slow or problem with loading my music or pictures.
I'm on a 16gb class 6, no problem at all.

Go for a 32 GB one if you think you'll be able to utilise the space. If you pick a class 6 or 10 card you really shouldn't have any speed problems. Obviously a higher class card is faster - class 10 FTW!
Micro SD Card Suggestion
Well 16Gb or 32GB is based on your requirements
My suggestion would be 16GBclass 4 or 16GBclass 6
I am using 16GBclass 6 on my SE Live With Walkman and it has no problem
for me
Class are based on their speeds
Class2 -->2Mbs
Class4 -->4Mbs
Class6 -->6Mbs
Class8 -->8Mbs
Class10 -->10Mbs
Use "Crystalbenchmark" to test the read/write speed of your cards
First check the read/write speed of your 2GB sd card that came with
your device and this help you to differentiate speeds of different class
types

These are only minimal speeds, these can be higher.
I have Class 4, Sandisk, 16GB, Write is 8.7 MB/s, Read 28.9 MB/s.
There's a thread on this subject somewhere here.
What you need to consider as well is access speed.
Higher class cards transfer faster, but to do so, data has to be accessedfirst, and that takes longer with class 10 than class 2 for example.
That means, if you are goinf to work a lot with larger files, it pays you to get a high class, if on the other hand, you are going to onstall apps to work with small files a lot, it will actually slow you down.
Edit:
I've found it, anybody interested should look at the tests results

Both the brands are awesome....But class 4 is obviously better than class 2 for android....My Sandisk 16 Gb Class 4 MicSD gives a read speed of about 14 MB/sec and write speed of 5-6 MB/sec......
SanDisk is more known, also class 4 is faster.
Sent from my Xperia Live using xda premium.
hmm, but transcend normally cost more than sandisk here, class 2 transcend 16gb is almost at the same price on sandisk 16gb class 4 so i thought transcend has more quality than sandisk,
I personaly use also 16gb class 2 trascend about 3 years already without any problem first in SE elm now in my mini. But my opinion when you buy new is buy even faster or maybe even biger coz lifetime microsd is great and you can use it in many phones. Anyway speed in phone is for any action enouhg for me now and never got any problem with memory from trascend (i using from trascend now microsd,normal sd, ram, flash disc)
Sent from my ST15i using XDA
Guys don't forget that the speed class only describes the write speed of the card.
Most cards, I mean even class 2, are fast enough at reading speed for usual use.
For good writing performence you should buy a class 10 card even if the price is higher.
Its a big difference copying for example 700 mb with 10 mb or only 2 mb writing speed.

I agree! I had a Kingston 8Gb class 4 and then I bought one Samsung 8Gb CLASS 10 and I was amazed. Copying series, movies, backups and Roms to my phone is really fast.

Forget brands, its the class that matters
Well I went over to the accessories section and found threads on this...they are REALLY serious about this stuff there....the bottom line here, and in other fora is that the San Disk Class 4 is perhaps the best out there. People claim (and show pictures proving) that it has beaten higher class SD cards. I went for this one and am very happy...it beats expectations. I agree it's mostly more about class rather than brand, but brand can affect things sometimes.
I bought a Kingston 16MB class 4 for my x10mp, and the phone kept hanging up. Sent it back as a defect and got another one, but I had the same problem with that one, too. Sent it back for a refund. Bought a Sandisk 16MB class 4 and haven't had any problems with it. I'm not sure about the '11 xmp, but brand did matter on my old phone.

i am thinking of ADATA 8GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Flash Card with SD adaptor Model AUSDH8GCL10-RA1, for my sk17i. It has good reviews on newegg. What yall think? Also how the process of changing sd cards goes, i mean i just simply copy everything from sd card that came with sk17i, to new sd card, via windows explorer or what?

Hi guys, i have a great (for me haha) doubt.
I like to record a lot of videos with my smartphone, like to have a lot of music and heavy games when i wan to, but my micro sd 8gb class 4 isnt enough.
I interesed in use a 32gb micro sd class 10, how as Kingston or Sandisk. WT19i Supports that?
Additionaly, i have an offer for a sandisk ultra 32gb class 10 (refferential link) Does Wt19i support this memory?
What do you think?

bcz i also have a class 6 32gb on my mini pro...

i noticed gallery loads up really fast.
I have 16gb Patriot class 10. Reading around 20mb/s, writing 10mb/s connected as MSC i regret not getting the 32gb.
i have sk17i, and it recognizes 32gb class10 samsung micro sd, i think both phones are nearly the same, so the wt19i should also support
I bought a new 32GB sd card, and after I fill it with data, the phone starts to lag I have rooted wt19i and the sd card is not broken. I dont know if this is possibly a rom issue
Yeah it should work i use a sandisk class 4 32gb works perfick in my sk17i
