Which SD Cards Work With S5830i? - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I saw a old thread similar to this but I wanted to post a new one because:
I have a 32gb class 10 San Disk sd card and it doesn't work with my phone. It doesn't readily read, i have to keep on reinserting it, and at times my phone asks to format it because its broken. I use a custom rom (razo droid latest version).
Which 32GB sd cards are reliable and definitely work with this phone? If people reply with one's that don't, I don't mind editing the first post with a list of SD cards to stay away from with this phone.

Nice development thread you got here. Is it too hard to go to the General section instead of development?

Try to ask it here

Already Done Bro

I'm terribly sorry for making such a stupid mistake. Really I am, I know I'm a noob, and unfortunately too many people like me are here, sorry.
Going back to the post, from first hand experience should
san disk class 10 32gb micro sd card work on a custom rom of s5830i?

So what he accidentally posted in the wrong section,everyone makes mistakes... what I find funny is the fact that the people who are making fun of him attempt to do so with what they undoubtedly believe are witty comments and comebacks, but half the time they don't make sense and end up failing completely
To those of you who simply reported it to get it moved to the general section you're clearly more mature than most, especially those who simply have to post cocky comments
Back to the question now, I think 32 gig is supported, I had a problem like yours with my brand new 8 gig SD card it turns out there was a problem with it,i got it exchanged and everything works perfectly now, I suggest getting it checked out or exchanged especially if your phone keeps saying to format it because its damaged or unable to read it

[Q] Set emmc as SD card?

I know I'm going to get flamed because I'm sure someone has asked and answered this... but I can't find it.
Is there a way tor set my gtab to recognize the emmc as an SD card so I can install apps that require an sd card? The amazon app store and the B&N nook app are the 2 I want right now, but I'm sure there are more. I really don't need more than the existing 14Gb of space on the tab, so I definitely don't want to buy a microsd when I have all the space on it already.
I'm running CM7 with stock kernel, new to the gtab but not to android, XDA, or rooting/modding. But I can't code and ADB baffles me.

The problem with the lectures is that eventually I have to ask a question too ...
If my answer turns about to be in some arcane thread from 2002 and I don't find it, then I'm gonna get hit with the lecture too
It's a fine line between using the search features of this site, and realizing that search sucks and asking for help.
Perhaps I should have put the "tongue in cheek" smiley up there... ;-)
I agree completely. In fact, if you ever see me giving a lecture... link me back here ;-)

I know this thread has gone way OT, but oh well.
I was certain you were being funny...
However, I've been known to be a bit terse with my 'find with search' answers myself. Just acknowledging it will eventually bite me in the arse.
I followed the link followed the instructions and I am still having the same issue where the /mnt/emmc is not being listed as /mnt/sdcard
Now, I am not sure if this is because I am on CM7.0 and the thread was for CM7.1 but here is a link to what I posted there

[Q] Still worth partitioning?

I have a class 10 32GB card in my phone and I do realize the GS II is leaps and bounds ahead of older devices like the G1 and the original MyTouch 3G... So I was wondering if there was still any reason for me to partition the SD card *I have a lot of dead space since I moved all my music collection that was on my phone to Google Music...*
If it's still worth doing what sizes should I set for the partition and the swapfile?
Do I need to run a certain rom to take advantage of this or will it work with all roms?
Or, should I not bother...
Also is it better to keep my apps on the internal memory of the phone or my own SD card? Which will give better overall performance?
Thanks.

And let me add to that, what if one has a 64GB card. Would partitioning increase speeds?
LOL. yes, also a good question ;-)
Can no one answer this?

Let me ask you this: Why was the swapfile necessary/useful on the G1 and other such devices?
Once you answer that question, compare the answer to your SGS2 and ask yourself if the answer still applies.
Then you'll have your answer to your original question.
Here, I'll save you some time. The SGS2 does not need a swapfile.

Moving apps to sd not working ?

Hi, just received the phone today. I'm trying to put some apps and stuff on my sandisk 64.gb but using app2.sd and app manager there doesn't seem to be an option. The sd card is showing in settings menu as 59gb.
How can I put stuff on it?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using XDA
Why would you want to put your apps on the SD card? There is masses of space on the phones internal memory you'll be hard pushed to fill it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
any good reasons for moving it to external sd????
btw looking at your post count i think you missed a bit of info. sgs3 uses the whole internal memory(11gb) for apps along with user data. so there is no need for app2sd
I just checked as well. I don't see that option with any of my apps using the Application manager. I'm using stock LEF firmware.

It's a standard Android option, so it should have been included in the ROMs that Samsung designed in my opinion. Some people would like to use their 11GB of storage for other things, but have a huge external memory card.....just a matter of preference, no need to insult the person because of low posts.

don't jump to conclusions and make assumptions. I have 32gb on my phone and have used 16gb for apps. So no, 11gb would not cut it for me as well as others. your use of a phone is not the same as everyone. You are not the standard.
Why must the op provide YOU with a good reason to? Are you some sort of phone police?
Either provide a useful solution or find another thread to spread your ignorance.

its not an insult mate.. he might be missing that info hence i conveyed it to him. apart from gnexus and sgs3 all the mobile have limited data partitions which forces the need for app2sd, thats not the case with sgs3.
there are already many threads for this same thing , if the op searched for it he would have seen that info.

first of all nothing is said in an offensive way but its been understood in an offensive way. If the op has read enough then why do he post a question thats already been discussed? a simple search would have helped him to get other members opinion.
i agree with the point that there are many who read a lot here but dosent posts.
btw, stay on topic and try helping the op if you can

It just gets tiresome hearing people try to dismiss the wants and wishes of another member just because they don't have the same. If we all wanted the same bs we'd all have iPhones for crying out loud. Embrace the differences!
I dont think 11gb is quite big for GAMES, i have installed max payne and its a 1.3gb game, some HD games dont go lower than 400mb.
So yes I need to move apps to the external SD. hoping to hear some updates about this
GL to SD
Guy until the developers find some solid solution you can use GL to SD app from market. It would move the Game Loft games from internal SD Card to External SD card. Although this app is for Game Loft games but it works for any game which install its data files in /sdcard/android/data or /sdcard/data folder.
Move them using the GL to SD and in the settings of GL to SD check the option /sdcard/Android under add mounted folder. Once done then price mount button the top of GL to SD app and then press menu and exit (don't press unmount and exit otherwise it would not work). This would mount your external SD card as /sdcard/android. If GL to SD fail to move the games to SD card then you can even do it manually by copying games data folder from /sdcard/android/data to /extsdcard/data and do the same procedure as above.
I am very poor in explaining things but I hope that I am able to explain it properly.

[MOD]ExtSd2InternalSd v3|Increase your data storage|CMW zip|100% Working|
Thanx!!

I guess you can. Just select the one that corresponds to your cards format exfat or fat32. Just make a nandroid backup. And better ask for help at the mods thread.
Mattia is very helpful as are the others.

Do i have to format my SD card again?
And what should i chosse.. teh stock version or custom version... that´s my doubt!!!
THE GUIDE
First of all make a nandroid backup!! I'm not responsable for any problem! You make this procedure at your risk!!!
Format external sd card from your pc as fat32 or extfat
Copy attached zip in you external sd. Choose the right zip. If you have formatted your sd as fat32 choose _fat32 version, if the filesystem is extfat choose _extfat version
Go into recovery
Flash the zip
Reboot and....enjoy your memory increase!!!!

Person B: "Can you post the links?"
Me to person A: "*****, what am I your personal google assistant?, go google that sh%t yourself you lazy ass"
What I really think they should do is create an XDA sister site called XDA-EndUserNoobSupport.com
I can honestly see why the more seasoned guys leave xda for a site like rootzwiki which still has noobs but a far number less..
The whole "well that's what xda is for" mentality is WRONG. WE ARE NOT HERE TO SERVE ANYONE OR HELP ANYONE! We choose to, but it's not OUR JOB to. the way some people make requests on devs sounds like a boss giving an employee things to do..

Honestly, you would have received better input if you put the question in the Q&A section. People bash each other for posting in the wrong sections. I must say, I think you jumped the gun a little by ordering a new device. You didn't even wait 24 hours. When I had my S3, I accidentally formatted the wrong partition while trying to get data back after compiling MIUI based off another phone, it took 3 days to figure out how to get it back (Thanks garwynn and crew). A simple google search for "How to install stock rom on Verizon note 2" returned this on the first page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207. The stickies in development are one of the first places you should look for anything rom related.
