[Q] well i'd like your advice, is this worth a sgs2? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all sgs2 owners, would you considder this for a sgs2? im not asking you to actually sell me one, wrong place for that just want to know if it's worth it:
Sandisk 16gb SD card £20
Sandisk 8gb SD card £5-10
Saner 1900mah extended battery £20
White housing cover £40
And I'll throw in £15 ($23.8)
Jvc in ear headphones £20
The phone is in a very good condition and unlocked.

SD card adapter which works with both SD cards so they can be out into a computer or laptop although I'm not sure how though.
over $200 of accessories and the phone itself.

Well i was just asking for people's opinions if it was actually worth it as you own one. I've tried it on gumtree.com, basically like ebay, and I had to text them all or e-mail them, wait like 4 days for a reply which would be 'cash only'. This is the real only other alternative.

As stated before, wrong place and I suspect maybe a mod will come and delete this, but the phone is great! I would dare say the BEST phone out in the market now (or on par with galaxy nexus & note).
*but being as it is used, make sure you can test it all out first and they can guarantee you a refund within a week or 2 if there is any major problems.
**so bring a notebook with you to test it's working with usb, etc too.

Love the work that goes on here guys, the good thing about buying my tg01 is i found this forum.
1st Tg01 exchanged due to no one being able to hear me on phone.
2nd TG01 exchanged due to crashing during calls
just got my 3rd was installing my apps from card, install failed and now cant detect my card anymore (pc or phone)
back on the phone to orange, as this only day 64 of contract.
Memory card supplied with this device is well known to be complete and utter crap, but you know that right?
I am hazarding a guess that those of us using this device daily have replaced the memory card supplied with something of higher quality, or different make
well after 40 mins of blood, sweat and tears. i finally got them to credit my account with £20 to buy another.
My mrs is a manager in a call centre so know what buttons to press to get a reaction.
Its your right to know the personal extension number of the person you are talking to etc so you can make a complaint.
anyway will have a scout about amazon, or if anyone knows someone better to buy from. im in ok btw.
thx in advance.

Up to you, all of them are overpriced for anything over 8gb, amazon do a Sandisk Mobile Ultra 8gb card that is class 6 for £17.99 including postage
I bought an kingmax 8 GB card on 20 Euros 3 month ago and had no problems with it. Anyway, it operates on HTC Magic, not on TG01

Haven't tried it but for what I hear and understand it won't work.

Gathering infos from those link, it seems like one will have to using the phone to format (aka erase the card from inside the phone) the card and in some case, formatted it to NTFS
Some time ago while i still had htc sensation there was a post about it and 64 gb worked but not the 128gb. I assume its the same for the amaze but dont takemy word for it search the forums. From what i found the galaxy note cant use 128 gb one

If anyone has knowledge of what works on the Amaze please let us know!
Guess we're just going to have to wait for someone to buy one of those 64 or 128 cards and find out. I went ahead and bought a 32gb card last week before I even saw this post. Too bad, if I'd have known there was a possibility that the 64 would work, I would've gotten that one.

I use Google music but then again you need data connection and it uses bandwidth. Not a big music listener. I'm more of a photo person hence the amaze.
I thought the Amaze accept 32GB max.
how could you use 64GB, is there any way how to bypass this limit ?
if it worked on the sensation why wouldnt it on the amaze?

Someone should go to best buy, try it and then return it
Sent from my HTC Ruby using XDA App
That was my plan. I have some Best Buy gift cards but unfortunately they are sold out. If the price stays the same when they are back in stock I may do it.
I get paid this Thursday and I was going to get a 32 but if anyone can find the 64 in stock by then I will give it a shot and let everyone know if it works
Does Bestbuy have a restocking fee?
I would try it but I hardly use the entire 32gb on my existing card so don't really have a need for it.
Maybe if someone worked at a place that sold them and they could just try it out. Maybe that's asking a lot though.

I don't believe there's a restocking free on sd cards...just computers, tablets, tvs.. not small stuff...a quick call would suffice.
works perfectly
Hey y'all,
I noticed some wondering about this card.
So I got mine from Amazon, class10 64mb sdxc
When I first put it in, notification said card error.
Then it prompted me to reformat.
I let the amaze reformat her and now I've got 60 gb free showing in the settings apk under storage.
Just wanted everyone to feel confident I'd they want to spend the money, several vendors addy amazon do have the cards in stock now.
Good luck!
i may have to end up ordering one
I've returned a 32Gb PNY card about two weeks ago from BestBuy and there is no restocking fee charged.

Yeah, cause I've heard many many MANY stories about people buying MP3 players and SD cards from China saying a certain size, and when you plug it into the computer, it says the same thing, but really is half or a quarter of the size. Those Chinese are always ****ing with us in the states.

u have to know this is a fake right? Its probably only 4 GB.
Ordered a couple of "original" Kingston 16GB microsd cards from China.
Most of them are f*ucked one way or the other. Wrong size meaning it fails when you pass the real size limit. Others lose all data when powercycling, turn on/off. Others just don't work in cell phones but work on PCs. Then there are combinations of the above...
Good luck!
Yep, don't go for it. It's so easy for these Chinese resellers to take a 2gb card, paint a 3 in front of the 2, and make it look like a 32gb card.
99% sure that's fake. I just got a class 4 32gb from amazon and I can't tell much of a difference from my class 10 smaller card. Reads are really similar
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
The same seller has a 64gb microsdxc card for $18.88 - they retail at Best Buy for $199 regularly and the cheapest I've seen online is $150. One guy here in XDA said he found one for $99 at Best Buy not too long ago, but even if $99 was the going rate, that's still an 80% discount.
So yeah, definitely seems too good to be true if you ask me.
i dont want them chinese people taking my money!!!!
I've had this problem once....I complained VIA paypal and the seller refunded me and told me I didn't have to send it back....

Hopefully I'll be able to do the same if such a situation occurs. Ordered one this morning out of blind excitement.
Never buy from china.. Even if its 32 gb it won't even last a week. Trust me I bought tons of stuff from ebay (shipped from china)...
Chances are that it will be fake. And to get your money back, you probably will have to pay to ship it back - costing you as much as if you just ate the cost of the card.
I know from experience... Was worth the chance and found out that I just donated to some Chinese guy's new car.
here's the test, make a rar archive 20gb+ in size and split the files into any size less than 3gb. transfer all the files on to the sdcard, then transfer them off. transfer them back on and off again. then try unraring. if it falls, you got scammed, if it passes then send it to guinness as the first sdcard purchased at a massive discount that wasn't a fraud
Just chiming in, I had a decent quality Class 10 (Lexar) and it sucked for any application that did caching to it (decent amount of them). I'm much much happier with my Sandisk class 4. Random access small file performance is MUCH better. No lag

Has anyone found any Black Friday deals on 128GB microSD cards?
Haven't seen anything on 128gb cards, but I bought 64gb cards on Amazon for $19.99 each.
Picked up a 64GB PNY from Amazon to replace the second 64GB Sandisk card to develop "write-lock" / unformatable syndrom on me. So far definitely so good as the read / write speeds on this card are fantastic. I forget the speed stated in the description, but it was the reason that I chose that one over a Samsung EVO for pretty much the same price. Glad I did (so far)
I can't wait until 128GB cards fall into line with the prices of lower capacity cards (1 X 128GB < 2 X 64GB). Soon hopefully... haven't seen one cheaper than $100.
Drives that you can find great deals on however are the regular USB (2 or 3) connecter on one side and a micro USB connecter on the other. I've had a 32GB and a 64GB (the latter USB 3) for a while, but I just grabbed a 128GB for $40 :good: I freaking love these drives. There's not really a difference in price between there and regular USB 3 flash drives... why not get one that you can easily use in your phone as well as your PC sans any adapters, and as far as phone use goes: one of the fastest ways to transfer large files from PC to phone, perfect for media - particularly hi res video if you want to watch a movie or something on your phone, and the killer feature: can be mounted in TWRP! No more realizing I forgot to DL or whatever a file I want to flash mid-nandroid, long reboot rebuilding caches, reboot recovery again... just toss it on the drive and flash from or even nandroid to the drive! Crazy useful
I did pick up a samsung 32GB for 10.99 yesterday at bestbuy
I went with the Tiger Direct 64gb. I only trust Samsung cards as I've had headaches with other brands in the past.
Now until Tues Amazon has the 64GB EVO for $25.
Where did you find the 128gb?

Thanks! It's definitely fake according to the reviews.
Yeah I always fall victim for the $20 "most of these cards work but not all of them". they're always a scam. If in doubt, read the feedback
Don't go down this dark alleyway!
You have a very expensive smart phone...
Put a brand name card you can trust!
You will thank me later! (Or now would be good)

I ended up with one of these from ebay a year ago or so, you can spot it easily by the packaging (as if the price wasn't already a red flag) Sadly you probably won't realize it until after you've begun copying files to it! To be safe, I always format (FULL format, NOT quick-format!) my sd cards before use!
Stick to brands you've heard of (as @sloanster stated), and as others on the thread have, pay attention to the reviews :good:
With Christmas only a couple days away, I'm sure plenty of people will be hunting for microSD cards very soon (as am I) so if anyone comes across any sweet deals please share!
32
Actually total 32gb is enough for everything
I ended up buying two of this and so far no issues.. both has been formatted and read at 128gb each.. i did some testing and the result is pretty good comoare to my 64gb ultra sandisk..
