i have bought the samsung essential 32 gb class 10 ( MB-MSBGA/EU )
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...s/MB-MSBGA/EU?subsubtype=micro-sd-accessories
it has a very good feedback from the buyers at amazon.de...
and the waterproof/magnetic field technology gives also an extra point
( a samsung phone needs a samsung microsd, doesn't it? ;D )

So just chatting to your self I see .........

If you're flush then I'd splash out on http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_6&products_id=113599 (Sandisk Mobile Ultra Micro Secure Digital (MicroSDXC) Memory Card - 64GB - 200x (30MB/s) With Adapter). The specs claim that this could be up to 3x faster than any of the list you've got there, and the GS3 specs state SDXC compatible.
Apart from that, I'd drop that Sandisk off of my list (unless it's cheap) and go for a class 10 card. When it comes to storage I've never found the saying "get the largest amount of the fastest you can afford" to be wrong. I "upgraded" my old Transformer tablet to a 32GB Class 10 card in August of last year and it was worthwhile (although it was only a little bit cheaper than the price that 7ds above are doing the uSDXC card for - that's progress I guess! )
EDIT: Amazon have the same card 99p cheaper http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Mobile-MicroSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B005LFT40G

Got this one

Surely any micro sd will work. I'm using the s2 at the moment and 64gb sdxc works perfectly. And I bought one for a mate and it also works on his note. So theoretically 128gb in your phone is easily accomplishable

don't know about the rest, but I owned the Samsung one and it had great speeds, much better than most class 10 cards, especially when writing/reading small files (weakest point of most of these cards).

Please be aware, I have bought three Sandisk 64 gb Micro SDXC cards. I first ordered 2 of them, when i received the order, one of the cards was dead right from the box, other card was OK. I got a refund for that non functioning card and ordered another one, when it arrived, i tested it and it was OK. Today the other card from the first order died in my wive's Cowon J3 and i got a refund for it too.

Wow - sounds like you were "lucky" enough to get a bad batch of cards That said, from my limited experience Sandisk seem to normally have good quality control and customer service.
Fingers crossed that your one remaining card is a good one!

I'm keeping it for Asus Transformer Infinity

General rule of thumb for flash memory. If it's too cheap then stay away. (there are way too many fake knockoffs on the market)

32 gig micro sd hc

I purchased a Kingston 32 gb class 6 micro sd card for my phone. I began to copy over the contents of my current card, but im at work and had to step out. I told a coworker that if they also had to leave to please just close the screen of my netbook so that its contents would be secure, hoping that it would have finished copying. It was not finished and the screen was closed putting the netbook into standby. When I returned and turned the comp back on the copy progress screen was blank and just all white as was the window depicting the contents of the card. I had to restart the computer as after 15 min nothing had changed. Now the card is not recognized. I checked it in my phone and computer and it says no disk is present. I put it in the sd adapter and try to format and my computer says there is no disk. I am at a loss?? I just got this freakin card and for a great deal that ill never find again especially for a class 6! Does any one have any ideas for me to try?? I know that its not entirely related to X10's but I can't seem to find any other avenues for help. I would like to not right this card off
Any help is sincerely appreciated
Did ya get it off ebay by any chance? Didn't think class 6 32 gb cards existed yet. I've had 2 off ebay (class not stated) and they both turned out to b hacked 2 gb 1s, they were both "good deals" a bit too good! Got a refund for em both so got 2 2gb cards for free
If it was from ebay at a great deal price... you're screwed... bought one myself only to find out it was a dupe... never got my money back

Transcend , Sandisk makes one, Nokia has one, not sure who makes it. I have had this problem before.. you have to low level format it and it will be fine. any questions just ask.
I am thinking of getting a 32 gb class 6 from ebay as well. Hope I have better luck
I bought one from ebay a couple weeks ago for like 13 dollars and it arrived today. Just popped it in the phone and its saying 31.24 gb.
It's a kingston card. I'll try copying some stuff over and see how it goes.
EDIT. Copying my 11 gb of music over writing at 3.5 MB/s
Class was not stated when I bought mine. I just figured for 13 bucks i'll take the chance.

Kingston has 32gb Sdhc micro cards, they are new.
the estimated price is around 110 dollars.
If you buy a card for 20 bucks at ebay you realy wonder why its a fake?
lets hope the price will fall fast
im gonna buy mine in a store not at ebay. Quality->Price
I think there is no support on the x10 for 32gb sd card yet. You also need an opptinal uppdate from windows update to read 32gb cards. And remeber its not sd carts you need to use its micro sdhc cards ;-)

FWIW, I have a Kingston class 4 32GB, it also works fine on 1.6 I have 5,000 songs with album art on it as well as things like the language modules from Swiftkey, etc and still have 2gb free.
I have had a 32gb micro sd sandisk for about 3 months now, no problems to report (UK) purchased online from Carphone Warehouse. Only issue is whereas android shows roughly 3gb storage free, when using mediascape to transfer music, it only shows 120mb of storage remaining - bummer

THERE ARE NO TRUE CLASS 6 32G micro SDHC cards.
And as a caution, here's a FAKE card marked Class 6 (and confirmed as fake by Kingston USA). I was lucky and got my money back when the seller was confronted (and is still selling these on eBay). The photo below is a FAKE card. Kingston's 32G is a class 4. Lexar's 32G is a class 10. The Lexar IS faster writing at 8-10mb while the Kingston writes at about 4mb; I have both Kingston and Lexar 32G.
NewEgg is a licensed reseller, you can get a nice 32GB card under $100 with a USB flash reader for it such as Kingston's MRG2+SDC4/32GB. I keep the usb reader on my keychain. You need a reader because these cards are NOT compatible with most older slot readers even when you put them in an adaptor for SD or M-Stick.
NEVER FORMAT IN WINDOWS!!!!! You may ruin the card's usefulness forever.
Windows will add cryptographic junk which is NOT compatible with Android. If you MUST format in windows go to the SD Consortium and get their format software http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/

WinTek cards from Frys are cheap & work very well. Sometimes you can find Patriot 32GB Class 10 for 80ish if you're willing to spend a little more at Frys also.
I'm currently using the Transcend 8GB class 6 in all of my devices, speeds are pretty good so far - they are around $15-20 including a SD adapter.

Wow! You are correct, sir. Major brain fart on my part. Hadn't hit the confirm order button so was able to save myself the headache.
I am currently using the Wintec 16gb class 10 and they are fine. Speeds are way above 10mb per second write. I get up to 12 mb per sec write and 17mb per sec read.
Polaroid 16GB from Fry's is $17.99 this week after rebate. Bad news is mine just died today in my N1 (error check fails / can't format). Good news is that it's lasted in my daily driver phones for the last two years. Considering I used it for swap while I had a G1 I'm surprised it didn't die sooner. Not a bad deal if you regularly backup your SD.

Its definitely a class-10, the videos and pictures play and save pretty quickly compared to the stock card that came with the htc evo.
Can someone recommend a good (aka fast) 32GB micro sd card? I'm not concerned with cost. I'd rather just spend the money up front than worry about whether or not the card is too slow. Also, is there a nice comparison chart of 32GB cards with read/write speeds of various class cards?

EDIT: Well, I'm a bit confused. Which SD format does the tablet actually support? SD or SDHC? I would like to get the largest, fastest card.
MicroSDHC should work just fine.

Best 32gb miscrosd for TF

I'm in a dilemma on which microsd to buy. I want to get a 32gb class 10 microsd but the companies such as patriot, lexar, kingston, etc all have complaints about the card performing more like a class 6 or slower. I also read in some cases a sandisk class 4 outperform these cards. Is there a popular 32gb microsd that people are using with the tf that is showing great performance?
Do you really think that you are going to notice a difference between class 6 and 10?
Also remember that the class only has to do with write speeds, not read speeds.
With that being said, I just picked up a PNY 32gb class 10 from Newegg for $56 delivered, they are out of stock on it again, but sign up for the "Auto Notify" and you can grab one as soon as it gets back in stock (most likely a few days, like last time)
BTW, it works perfectly in my Transformer...

FWIW, I got a Sandisk C4 from Amazon for $60 including shipping. Works great. Since I'm not recording HD video to the thing, C4 is plenty fast.

64GB Micro SD

Picked one up in anticipation of the EVO LTE.
I'm 99% sure it will work, but I will confirm once I receive my phone.
The micro SD slot is one of the EVO's strongest assets so I want the max capacity I can get (within a reasonable price).
Anyone else planning on getting one? They are $80 on Best Buy's website.
I'm pretty sure that the phone can only handle a 32 Gb card.
That's what the paper specs say, but people have had great luck with the card working on other android phones.
Confirmed to work on:
-Galaxy Note
-Razr
-MyTouch 4G
-Bionic
-GS2 (sprint)
-Captivate Glide
-Transformer Prime
and many more.
Great!
Oh wow. I am excited to hear your results.
I actually don't see any online for cheaper. In fact, Newegg.com has them for $91.00 apparently. And Google shopping finds them for 80$, bestbuy being the cheapest.
I will quickly jump on board with you bud. Following your thread to see your results

I have heard that people have had success with 64 GB microSDXC cards on OG EVO. If they use even remotely similar controllers, it may be possible. Apparently gives an error when first inserted, but after reformating by device, it works just fine. Maybe something to do with the way they make the exFAT partitions, who knows. May pick one up if I see it on sale, will post if it works.

Man now I am wondering if i should just wait till prices keep dropping, especially since wirefly orders of phone could be potentially delayed.
Does anyone know if the class 10 vs 6 matters?
Since from my research it shows after reformatting for our phones it really won't surpass class 6.
64 GB micros SD cards....
I would hunt around for the best price, like Amazon, or Pricewatch. I've seen some come in around $70. I have a 32GB right now and will wait awhile as the 64GB price goes down.
Already posted in a thread on this topic here - these will work. Definitely. They work in every Android device they've ever been used in, and they work up to the full storage capacity (~59GB). Used mine in Android devices since September last year, was one of the first to report on it here: http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html (in fact my piece is the source that the Androidcommunity piece linked to on the previous page got their information from).

I'm pretty sure that the phone can only handle a 32 Gb card.

I have two SanDisk 64GB cards and they have worked in my devices all the way back to my Thunderbolt. I have one that works just fine in the EVO 3D that I'm typing this on to you right now.
I don't know if this ongoing "32GB" limit is just laziness from the product marketing people not updating their specs as new capacities come out, or if engineering is afraid to commit to it because the SD manufacturer changes between batches and some devices support the higher capacity and others don't.
Either way it's annoying to read, but thems the breaks.
Just picked one up off of Amazon for $75.00

this has been a big debate with sdcards...i dont know if there is a manufacturer standard that is 100% identical for all manufacturers to use. some brand class 4 cards will simple outperform other brands class 10.
edit: besides why not just move anything you need to access the fastest to the internal memory? i'd say go with the best deal and not let class 6 vs class 10 be a deciding factor
edit2: according to http://www.sandisk.com/products/mob...crosdhc-and-microsdxc-uhs-i-cards-for-android
Capacities Performance
16, 32, 64 GB Class 10 (UHS Speed Class 1†† ), up to 30 MB/sec
4, 8 GB** Class 6, up to 30 MB/sec*
^^ that tells me all the 16, 32, 64GB sdxc cards they rate as class 10 (even though amazon says class 6) i would venture to say check the manf# but they are likely the same exact card

yea, the price difference was only about 2 dollars. However I noticed no one is selling a class 10 except this guy on buy.com (possibly the same guy at newegg at 110$, since its from a 3rd party with 1 review). And looking at his ratings, he has 1 review so far. Leads me to believe guy is just passing off a class 6 as class 10. His company address is a house in Illinois. Not building confidence in returns.
The amazon product is sold by Blueproton, who I have bought cards from before. So in the end might just end up going with them.
For anyone buying from Blueproton, if you scroll down as part of buying the SD card you are supposed to get a free reader.

On my nook that reader saved my butt, as the pc just wouldn't see my nook. Just worked around it by putting sd in the reader and loading all my files that way.

Since from my research it shows after reformatting for our phones it really won't surpass class 6.

1st of all I want to say this post has me excited. I am buying a 64gb SD card for my EVO 4G LTE.
I have been reading up and users that have conformed this to work on there devices. Several have said that there is a drop in speed. Can anyone conform this?
Price wise it is cheaper to buy a class 6, but I will be transferring a lot of music and videos to my SD card. Will the drop in speed make it necessary to buy a class 10 card?

Memory Card sale at Amazon

There's a memory card sale going on right now at Amazon, including microSD cards (no 64GB ones that I saw, but there are 32GB ones), if anyone is interested.

I copied the link with my phone, so sorry if it doesn't work right on other devices.
Sent from my badass LG Optimus G
That's a good price.
Sent from my Nocturnal'd LGOG.
I got a 64gb class 6 microsd on eBay for $32 shipped.
Was It A Real Sandisk 64 GB?
I have seen lots of complaints from people saying they purchased 64 GB micro sd cards off ebay and they broke really quick or they showed up as 32 gb cards. How does yours seem to be working with your phone? Any problems with it at all?

It seems that my LGOG came with a 16 external card.
So I need to remove this 16GB card if I want to put something larger on it?
