Best allocation unit size for 64 GB sdxc? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
What would be the best allocation unit size for fat32 formatted SDXC micro sd card with 64 GB? I formatted it with gparted and it is 32K unit size. Is it ok?

default!

Smaller size for smaller size, bigger for bigger.

I think he's meaning that if you want to store mainly big files a big allocation unit is better, less fragmentation, but for little file a little allocation unit size or you'll lose a lot of space.
Default size is a compromise between that and is most if the time a good choice, unless you have only one type of files stored which is quite rare.

Which is the best memory card for the Pocket PC

Hi
I do have T-mobile pocket PC, but I am not sure which memory card should I buy. SanDisk, Lexmar, Panasonic.
I have been reading that Lexmar is the best, but I want your opinion my friend.
i got a 256mb sandisk in mine works fine just sometimes a little slow at loading up as i have 3/4 filled it with mp3 and games :lol:
Lexar is the fastest one and it's cheap.
Lexar 256M SD is about 2x faster then Sandisk 256M SD
I use the Lexar 512mb, works fine.

[Q] Dream Android Tablet

Hello XDA!
I was just wondering if you could have any feature, any software, any hardware anything at all on an android tablet, what would it be?
What would your dream tablet offer? 7" format? IPS LCD screen? unlocked hardware? bluetooth tether?
The sky's the limit! be creative
I don't really think this belongs in Chef Central... maybe general or something like that. Its not really to do with ROM development, so it shouldn't really be here.
I'm sure there are plenty of threads like this around too, if you are stuck for where to put it.

I envy you that is one monster indeed! I've got some Core Duo with Vista, but it does have Bluray
Well it's going to take me a little bit longer before I can buy the base model and start the upgrading process to that beast of a beast that will last me for quite some time (with minor upgrades/repairs here and there).
I currently have a netbook though, and it's a dual core 2.2ghz with 2gb of ram. All I know is I will marry that thing once it's finished. haha
Thanks for the humor
I realized as soon as I posted that it was in the wrong section.
Actually, speaking of chefs, I'm working on a new brand of android tablet that will be coming out later this year, would you be interested in doing any testing/development on it?

Interesting...
a full size usb would make it thick(er), what if there was a microUSB that was unlocked so you could use an adapter?
wouldn't you prefer a bluetooth keyboard over a slideout that large? then you could also use it while it's docked in the car.
a removable battery is also an interesting idea too.
For $400 the screen type would suffer I think, low pixel density and not so great color. screen type is one of the more costly components.
What about battery life/weight? they are hand in hand, with the removable battery I guess the battery could be smaller so the unit could weight less.
i would love an all in one package. I don't want to have to carry the bluetooth keyboard. It may be an unreasonable concept.
As long as the color on the screen is decent it doesn't really matter. For me it's much more about the touch portion with this type of device. I want it to have a good, accurate, responsive screen if i'm going to drop that kind of money on it.
To give you an idea of where i am in my tablet phase.
I've already owned a Sylvania SYNET7LP which was full of suck out of the box but with some tweaking became nice little device. One of my biggest issues was typing on it. hence the mention of a slider. if the touchscreen was good enough you could ditch the slider i'm just looking for overall package.
I'm currently in the market for tablet number 2 budget around $250.
the front runner is http://www.aliexpress.com/product-g...-capacitive-4GB-512MB-1-0ghz-wholesalers.html
It's missing some of the features i listed but you said "Dream" tablet right?

a removable battery also speaks a lot to the life expectancy of the device. removable means replaceable. replaceable means the device was build not to be a disposable device once the battery has been shot.
as for my reasoning for a full size usb it's pure convenience. The Sylvania i have has the damn dongle and it's just one more thing to have to carry and potentially loose.

i made that originally for a dream phone... but considering that smartphones and tablets are "merging" on the same hardware spectrum... i might as well throw that out to anyone who wanted to look... and its NOT specific to WM or Android even so it fits perfect here...
Although, if you look, I didnt stretch the DREAM part as far as some people seem to be able to stretch it, im thinking real work tech available, but phone/carrier company's too stupid (read, they want to milk us all for MAX $$$ instead of just providing one large massive uber pwnage upgrade that would effectively end cycled purchases every year, the greedy fuks)
cheers...
Make some prototypes and hand them to the seasoned devs over here. Im sure everyone would support you.

High resolution screen and accurate multitouch is a must.

Curious about this Amazon Deal of the Day....: SanDisk Extreme 16gb MicroSD Card

I just came across this Amazon.com "Deal of the Day" earlier and just in case some of ya'll haven't seen it yet, it's probably worth checking out. It's the "Deal of the Day" for the SanDisk Extreme 16gb MicroSD card for our phones for only $18.99 + Free Shipping with Amazon Prime. I thought this was a pretty decent deal on a high-quality, fast, mid-range sized MicroSD card. I don't have any experience at all with the "Extreme" line of SanDisk MicroSD cards, but I'm sure they're good quality cards with a little speed increase over the "Ultra" series. The only thing I was a little curious about was how does this card compare to the SanDisk Ultra 32gb MicroSD that's only $1.00 more at $19.99? I currently have a 16gb Ultra card in my phone and it seems to do the job just fine. I was curious if the 16gb Extreme was worth the money...almost twice the amount of money as the 32gb Ultra..or should I just spend the extra $1.00 and get the twice as much capacity 32gb Ultra MicroSD card instead? I'm not a "photographer" and I don't do a lot of high-speed, high-quality video recording either, so the speed isn't all THAT much important to me, but of course, more speed is better in most applications anyway. What are your thoughts? BTW, this deal ends tonight at 3:00AM Eastern Standard Time.
SanDisk Extreme 16 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-I Memory Card 45Mbps with Adapter (SDSDQXL-016G-AFFPA)
Speed Performance: Up to 45/30MBs (read/write) speed
Compatibility: Compatible with all microSDHC and microSDHC UHS-I enabled devices
Water-proof, temperature proof, X-ray proof, shock proof
RescuePro Deluxe data recovery software downloadable offer, for bringing accidentally deleted images back to life
Great for super-fast 3G and 4G Android powered smartphones and tablets
Includes a lifetime limited warranty
Operating temperature: -13F to 185F (-25C to 85 C)

microSDXC class10 vs. UHS-I U3

I am considering whether to buy Kingston Class 10 (R: 45 MB/s, W: 10 MB/s) or Kingston Class 10 UHS-I U3 (R: 90 MB/s, W: 80 MB/s). Apart from copying large files from PC to microSDXC card, do you believe that there's a big difference in real-life terms? Have you tested it out yet?
If you're just going to use the sdcard for storing pics/videos/mp3's then the slow one is enough. Unless the price difference is minimal then go for the faster one.

Alternative to Galaxy S8/S9/S10/Note with Micro SD and AMOLED?

It is coming up time for an upgrade at last. My S5 isn't doing it for me anymore, I need more speed, screen, and internal memory. I will probably be upgrading this year to a new device.
MicroSD is mandatory for me. No MicroSD is a deal breaker. Also, AMOLED. For me, the deeper blacks of AMOLED are better for me. I will only get a MicroSD and AMOLED device.
I also want 6+ GB of RAM and a minimum of 64GB internal memory.
OnePlus 6T looks good EXCEPT that it does not have a MicroSD slot. So, deal breaker. I have a 400GB MicroSD in my Galaxy S5 (YES IT IS COMPATIBLE). Whenever bigger ones come available, I will put those in.
Xiaomi Pocophone F1 looks good, except for the IPS screen. So I don't want an IPS screen (also lower resolution, but that's not as important to me, I'm coming from S5 which the res is fine for me.)
Side note: why MicroSD? I have massive amounts of audiobooks, learning materials, and other materials I keep for ready access. If I could have 1+TB MicroSD, I would definitely use it.
Anyway, is there ANY comparable alternative to the galaxy lineup, or will I be getting another galaxy device? It's not that I don't like Galaxy because I do - I just don't want to leave another better (and less expensive) alternative on the table just cause I didn't know about it.
Thanks!
bump
