Music Player : I use Neutron and PowerAmp. If you listen to only MP3s, PowerAmp is fine. If you consider playing lossless, Neutron is best.
File : ES File explorer. It has bunch of good features as cloud integration, Wi-fi direct, Root Explorer(if you plan to root) couples with a nice UI.
For screen guard, its your choice,and depends on usage.The glass will stand everyday use or minor abuse but if you are a careless person like me who can end up with phone and keys in the same pocket, I'd suggest you get a screen guard.
Matte guards are fingerprint and scratch proof anti-glare but diminish the screen quality a little, also (debatable) they are considered bad for human eyes.
Clear screen guards don't affect screen quality but are prone to scratches and fingerprints.
All micro USB cables will work. I have an old Moto and a nokia cable,both works fine.You can use any brand cable as long as it fits the port.
The card will work without any issue.
Thanks a lot buddy for quick response & efficient information. One more thing...where can i search for screen guard? i dont think local retailers wud be having screen guard for moto e, i've gone thru flipkart but they have n number of screen guard brands and i'm really confused to choose from those.

Apps here you go...
music player - poweramp, playerpro
video player - mx player
file manager - es file explorer, astro file manager
launchers - nova launcher, apex launcher
Hope this helps...:good:
No need for screen guard on gorilla glass coz its scratch resistant technology...
Can't say about data cable though... I'm using my previous Samsung android phone's data cable and it does the job perfectly...
Class 10 memory card for Moto E is an overkill... Class 4 is more than enough for the E.... Class 10 memory card is required only for phones which support 1080p video recording...
if you've got any more queries post here.....
hope this helps...:good:

Of course, you won't have any issues....
Class 10 offers the fastest data transfer rates....

Since, you've got class 10, no issues, you've got the best at your disposal or the best technology could afford....:victory:

Just to add, class 4 card is fine for usual stuff, though the transfer rate is painful at times, esp writing a large file.
However, if at some point you decide to move your apps or data or create system partitions on your card, the class 4 simply fails to deliver.
The phone has a limited internal storage combined with KK limitations so you might need to do that in near future.
For that a class 10 card is recommended..

i'm interested in the two following cards that i found on e-bay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-EDGE-Tech-1...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards?hash=item5d26f2c39e
did anyone maybe bought the and tried them?
I never heard about those manufacturers before so I'm interested in the quality.
Micro SDHC Card.
Hi !
I have been testing a lot of different cards, and my recommendation is this
Transcend Micro SDHC 16 GB Class 6
And it has lifetime Warranty!
With kindly regards MacRoy
MacRoy, thanks for your post
I know tha Transcend and San disk are the leaders in this field but i'm interested in the above mentioned cards because they are the cheapest i could find on e-bay.
I would like to know if anyone has actually used them so they can tell me what is their quality?

Just purchased this one myself, waiting for it to be delivered. An 8 GB Class 6 Transcend card came with the purchase of my HD and it's been the best card I've owned so it was an easy choice for me. I wouldn't go cheap on something like this personally, you get what you pay for.
I bought the 16gb class 6 earlier today because my 16gb class 2 is starting to give me and my computer MAJOR problems. Up until now, the card has worked like a dream. I can't wait to see how much faster the class 6 will be like
i bought this card a few days ago
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250561131115&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
waiting it to come...
i'm hoping it's gonna be delivered in a 2 weeks period so i'll give my opinion then on the card speed
the card has arrived....
by putting it in my PC the higgest speed I got was 5,2 Mb per second
I would like to make some more test so if anyone can give me some tool for testing the actual speed of the card I will report back with the results...

hello,
I bought the "Transcend Micro SDHC 16 GB Class 6" and since I can't flash any ROM, I formatted the card several times (FAT32) but to no avail,
you see the same thing?
Also this card is not compatible if you want to switch on Android.

my card is not transcend but I didn't formatted it when i got it... i just made a restore to defaults and once again installed all of my programs on it.. did you try that?
maybe you should format it with NTFS instead of FAT32?
but i don't understand why you said that you can't flash any ROM? did you try doing that already?
Looks good. Did you try copying 16GB worth of data onto it ? Some of these cards could be fakes and have lower capacity than stated.

by now i have 13,1 GB of data on the card... still haven't filled it to the end
in the SD properties on the phone it says 15185.50 MB of storage availabe... i suppose that that is 16 GB...
I know youre all speed freaks - and youre talking about the class 6 cards...
But i just ordered this one (16GB, Class2, ~22$) (urgh - china product... - i never trust those *g* - but the price is just half of all i've seen before)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270528336681
as the 8GB delivered with the HD also just was Class 2 i thought thats enough for me...
And it's just a third of the price for the class 6 cards youre talking about.
Actual my question is - what do we need class 6 for?
Don't missunderstand me - I don't want to flame anyone for buying class 6 - but in my case about 7 of 8 GB are static on the card (means i transfered it once to the card and it never changes - Music) and 1 GB is dynamic (new Progs and new Music,...) but even this doesn't change every day all at once but about 20mb every day (max).
So with class 6 we save some time on the first copy progress - agree.
And every day about 10 seconds.
I know the example above is just for me but I think it would fit for most of u *g*
So why all people are so keen on this class 6 ? (i ofter read about in this forum not just in HD section)
btw. the tested speeds of those cards - most are tested in external readers are they? Does our HD even reach them in USB mode? or even worse - in ActiveSync mode? Cause i don't take my card out every day to copy some files...
greetings
Edit: k some people might watch videos on their HD every day which could take a while to sync - but USB and ActiveSync quests are still out...
forgot the video thing - cause i just once watched a video on my HD half -> battery life is not made for in my opinion

it all depends on what do you need it for...
for me class 6 saves me a lot of time because i download approximately 10-20 GB of music a month, and somwhere about 20 GB of movies and tv shows...
so basically i transfer somewhere around 1-4 GB a day from my PC to my card...
true, if you're doing that through the USB or ActiveSync you probably won't see the difference, but i often don't have the time to do that so I use the microSD adapter and transfer it a lot quicker to my sd card than it would be done through the USB or ActiveSync
on the end it all depends on what you're looking for and for what price...
Class 6
From what I see, don't bother with class 6 16G. I bought one. Testing the speed on sd card is great but once it put it on HD, it's no different than my Class 2 8G. Could have just purchase a Class 2 16G.

Hi,
I just got an email from ebay asking me not to finalize this order because of problem with the seller.
It seems that this is a scam.
Be careful.
Bemi
the question is not "what is the fastest class 4/6 card" in my eyes.
I bought the HD with the standart 8GB.....class "dont-know"...
of course I thought following:
higher class,bigger card = more expensive than slow and small...
so I tried to find out which card is included....
I found NO information about it. there is nothing to find on the HTC site.
no seriuos information to find on forums...
and nothing "written" on the card itselfe.
so I thought about buying the best and fastet card (testet with real test equipment).....
BUT
because the card-speed is degraded by the hardware you try to read/write....
and there is not a single information to find about what a HTC HD can handle....
(I asked the HTC support and did not get an answer at all)...
I decided to DONT buy another card at all....
I see no advantage to buy the fastes card it the cellphone is not able to use it.
SO : Is there anyone here, how can say that it is worth to buy a class6 card e.g. ??
if : where do you got the information a HD can handle the speed at all ?
thanks
alex

i bought the A-Data 16gig Micro SD card with two adaptors class 6 card off ebay for $54.99 and works great in my MyTouch 3g very fast and it has a lifetime warranty on also
I have a sandisk 64GB sdxc class 10 microsd card in my S3.
However I'm having a lot of issue syncing music to it ( around 40Gb of MP3s ) all theses issues seem to be related to using a 64GB card, as everything works fine with a 32GB one.
I've tried syncing with 2 softwares with similar results (Mediamonkey and windows media player). (MTP)
Basically the initial full sync works, however and re-sync afterward fail for various reasons (hang, mm report as full, report sync failure etc).
Card was formatted internally with the format in the system options.
Model is a canadian i747
There is a lot of fake SD cards floating around , where did you get yours and how much you paid ?
I to have sandisk 64GB sdxc formatted fat32 and it works perfectly fine.
Ebay, 70$.
I was able to transfer 50GB of movie and pull it back and it was playing fine, any idea how to see if it could be fake?
Did your format yours using the phone or a computer?
There are other users on mediamonkey forum reporting the same.. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=66514&sid=eefac781d2db7377ac5c09936a9b0b18
What do you use to sync your music?
I used my other phone galaxy s2 to format it, but standard windows format should work also, at least it worked for my gs2 year ago.
Also when your gs3 reports it damaged, you should be able to format it from within the phone?
For music and videos I just drag and drop, sync programs don't like MTP mode, we don't have true usb storage mode.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I think my sd is good but will do more testing tonight, it seem to be something with MTP..
I will try drag and drop, but it worked with really big movie files...
I'm currently suspecting a bug in the MTP software dealing with 64GB card, unless someone else here say it works for them.
Well seems like the card is good.... I guess there are very few people with a 64GB microsd..
Sandisk 64GB Class 10 here. No issues. Have transferred a lot of music back and forth with my computer before, and the speed was great.
you guys finding good deals on 64gb? I got 32gb for $17 and with free prime 2day shipping off amazon, but the 64gb were still in the $50 range.

Best deal I've seen so far was $60 on the Sandisk class 10 from Best Buy that was up and sold out in like a couple hours a few weeks ago. Amazon this week had (and might still have) the class 6 for $60. Haven't seen the class 10 for $60 again but I've been keeping my eyes out.

What sync software do you use to sync your music?
64Gb Sandisk SDXC got it when it was $60 direct from Amazon. I transferred 20gb of MP3 with CheetahSync without issue. Have done a few sync more and totaled around 50gb in pics,data,music. No issue whatsoever.
Hey guys, I have issues.
my SDXC is sandisk ultra,, class 10, microsdxc, 64G from amazon, around $70 I believe.
since I got it, it was a hit and miss, I've formatted it on the phone to exfat, and loaded around 40G stuff to it, everything was fine for a day or two, during which I rebooted without any issues, and now after rebooting my phone says it's a damaged SD card.
I rebooted several times, my phone still refuses to read it.
I plug it into my laptop, the card is good, everything is still on the card. the format is exfat.
for some reason my phone just randomly un-recognises this card.
any thoughts? I hate to throw my $70 away...

no sync software.. just drag and drops. coming from a class 4 card.. the speed difference is real noticeable.
I'll give drag and drop a shot, however all the problem I am reporting are from sync software (Windows media player, Media monkey), thoses do a lot more than just adding new files. they read old ones and compare their content).
Do you overwrite existing files each time or just keep them untouch? (from drag and drop copy)
I am having mediastore / music corruption issues with a Sandisk class 10 64GB microSD card but I'm not at al sure if it's related to the card or to ICS.

I'd love to use drag and drop, but all of my music in imported or purchsed through iTunes and I have a lot of embedded metadata (like album art, lyrics), some of whicch like album art don't get copied directly with the file itself. Has anyone had a solution for this - i.e. NOT using a sync program like iSyncr and just coping to card via drap / drop and still get all the metadata?
you need to format your card via software on your computer to FAT32 64GB. i did and haven't had an issue since. good luck! you need to download some software to do it though as windows will only allow 32gb for fat32. i don't remember what program i used as i am at work.

PowrerAmp ang PlayerPro. And yes, they can read all of the metadata. Problem is that a straight drag and drop from an iTunes library does NOT copy all of the metadata. Some of it is centrally stored, I believe.
Tones you are correct... Your only option if you want to keep itunes is iSyncer, otherwise there are other solution such as mediamonkey, songbird, doubletwist..
However we are starting to move away from the subject.
So far I have to try, drag and drop just to see if my stuff gets corrupted, and also the FAT32 formatting.
Hi has anyone tryed a 64gb card in the callisto 100 or truesmart? I know the callisto 100 is listed as accepting upto 32gb but about a year or so ago my galaxy note 2 and other android phones were listed as only accepting up to 32gb but would actually accept 64gb without a problem, so i was wondering if these watches will take 64gb...

Well, my file manager SAYS it sees 58.28 of 58.53 GB available, but I admittedly haven't tried to fill it. So far the only thing I've put there is the data for MapFactor.
I have a Truesmart 1/8 1900 running EnSec+Operative 20140318.
Good to hear, i just pulled my 64gb out of my tablet installed it and formatted it on the watch and its working like a dream, nice one.

I can't see how to reform it in the watch though. It doesn't recognize the card in order to refomat. All the cards I had already had data on them, so maybe that has something to do with it. 32GB card (blank) that came with it works fine though. I wonder what else i could try?

Wonder if one of those new shiny 128gb cards will work? I'm gonna put in a 64gb card in mine, overkill completely but it means I should never need to open the back case ever again....

if 64GB microSDXC works, highly likely the 128GB microSDXC would work too
but 128GB microSDXC is half the price of an omate
and you can't really consume a lot of video/data on this.... 2GB of video recording for 20 minutes = 8 hours on 64GB....
phone lasts roughly 2.x hours when doing video recording (screen on, video stops when you hit 2GB limit... trying to find an alternative app that allows screen-off recording without limit)

screen off? LOL I won't ask ... actually no do tell
Shame you can't hook it up to some fancy wearable battery charger to make last longer...
Maybe get some pivotheads if you want to do POV filming without a screen being on....

well, two use cases for me were:
1) skiing/snowboarding, my left jacket arm has a pocket to place a 2600mAh external battery, place omate on my arm.
2) cycling, could tie the omate on my bike along with the same external battery above.
well, this would have worked if omate included the charging clip. with the dock, it's not really possible (hinge of the dock faces the camera, so you can't really drill a hole)
oh well... screen-off would save more battery
i just wanted a one-device solution (can bring my cellular connection with video recording)... too bad
Hope someone here can advice me.
I want to buy the Sony Xperia Tablet Z2, but havent decided about which one. Should I go for the 16GB or the 32GB version?
I will use a MicroSD card with it, 64GB, or if possible a 128GB MicroSDXC card. So I will have lots of room for movies, music and pics on the SD card. So, in this scenario, what is the best solution to go for? 16GB or 32GB?
All depends what you plan to use it for. You'll quickly run out of space if you install a few large apps on the 16gb but if you don't use these kind of apps/games, you should be fine with the 16gb

I am already hitting warnings over free space on my 16GB LTE device. I have about 1 dozen games and about 2 dozen small utility apps.
Problem is that the LTE only comes in 16GB variations for now.
Also, be aware that kit-kat doesn't allow free file browser control over the sdcard without root. i.e. without root, you can't manually create and move files on the ext_card (even with the latest File Expert file browser)
Connecting to the PC allows full-access through the PC file browser, though this is not ideal.
Root fixes everything.
Thanks for your valuable thoughts. This probably means I will go for the 32GB Note 10.1 2014.
I dont install very much, but its easier to have a bit more mmory then just the bare essential.
I got the 16gb version and regret that decision already. I was not prepared for the fact that the memory card is heavily locked down with Kitkat

I have just found out that file commander app which we got installed on device allows copying files on sd card.

I wouldn't recommend that. I just returned my last Note 10.1 2014.
Altogether, I had EIGHT Note 10.1.2014, WiFi and LTE variants.
ALL of them had a faulty display.
ALL of them were locked down using "Knox".
LTE versions are locked against using prepaid cards.
Rooting gets documented by an "eFuse".
Samsung prohibits downgrading to a lower firmware version.
Flooded with bloatware, of course protected against deinstallation and even stopping.
NO (!) software updates for far more than half a year.
And so on...
The Note 10.1 2014 has nice hardware (except the narrow bezels, making it virtually impossible holding the tablet without accidentally touching the screen or the hardware buttons), and the "leather-like" (which is nothing but an impudent lie) backpanel which in fact is made of extremely hard, slippery plastic), but got perfectly castrated by Samsungs malicious actions for locking down devices even more than Apple.
It's no keeper; sorry... :/
Regarding the 16/32 GB question:
Rooted Z2 (SD card write access enabled): 16 GB ok.
Non-rooted Z2: 32 GB mandatory.

Jupp, that plastic thingy made me cringe away from it the second I picked one up in the store.
I agree with the above, to bad you can't unlock the Sony without doing the bootloader altso, I'm kinda stuck in limbo with a non-rooted 16GB version and a hardly usable 64GB brand card :/
As I said above, use file commander app to write to sd card if your tablet is not rooted

If you're used to working with Solid Explorer, you get rash if forced to using that basic tool. It's no more than a last resort.

Yeah, you can move files to it true that, but fare as I can tell you cant access SMB shares true it, so you first have to dump it to your internal memory, then move it to the SD card from File Commander. Also, you can only move files and not application, limiting the SD cards immensely

I also wouldnt recommend this. I just sold my Note 2014 to buy the Z2 tablet. Its waiting for me at home, havent used it yet. The Note is laggy, heavy and awkward. Just my opinion.

So, you want to advice me to use a tablet you didnt use yourself, based on what?
The Note has its problems, and can be laggy, but after freezing many unnecesary start-up apps, it reacts much better.
And you call 630 grams heavy? Compared to my Surface Pro it weighs almost nothing.
And what is awkward about the Note 2014? Please explain what you mean with that.

Mate, that's just my opinion. Buy what ever you like. And yes, I ran clean ROM pretty much permanently, with a custom kernel - it was still very laggy. Buy it and enjoy
Yes, Cheops, go with the Note 10.1 2014.

After having the Z2 tab for two days now, I stand by my original statement. This tablet kicks ass. So glad I sold the note for this.

Hi, i am considering buying one, just one quick question: how long does it take to fully charge using original charger? Thanks

About 5 hours and a little more using Sony's weak 1.5 A power adapter - via USB and charging port.
If you utilize a better power adapter (like Samsung's 2 A piece), charging time goes down to a little more than 4 hours if using the charging station (I wouldn't call this a "docking station" because it cannot do more than charging) DK39.

Well, that's not too bad, I can use my ipad charger when in rush of charging lol. So far, the most concern matter is touchscreen issues, if it not get fix soon by Sony, I guess I have to skip this one
Has anyone tried this I've being reading about the SDcard standard and also saw a picture of a Z Ultra showing in storage - settings - sdcard1 a 128GB card working (Don't know if it's true tough) so has anyone here tried that? is it true?
wanna buy one but wouldn't wanna waste my money...
manual says max 64GB
https://dl.developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_Z_Ultra_LTE_C6833_WP_7.pdf
But its confirmed it supports even higher than that:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/04/0...xc-card-works-a-treat-in-sony-xperia-devices/
If in theory sdxc is fully supported then the controller should work with up to 2TB. But its yet to be tested by someone who willing to spend that money. Or someone who has one of these >256GB cards lying around.
That second link is one of the pages I was reading, I think I'll go ahead and buy one 128gb and if it doesn't work I'll sell it, will report how it works when I do.
Can confirm, I've been using a 128GB Sandisk card in my Z Ultra for the past couple of years. No problems at all.

Class10 is old and all cards have this rating. There is even more complicated ratings coming up on new cards being sold.
I'm talking about V30, V40, V50 and so on. C even. Don't know what C stands for. Mostly to help prosumers and pros selecting when doing 4K.
Some facts here:

At the moment I have a samsung pro 64GB U3: http://www.samsung.com/uk/memory-storage/pro-microsd-card-e/MB-MG64EEU/
Its fast but not impressive. I don't think any memory card matters for our old phone.
It was sale two for one so I got one for our new phone and one for mine.
But you should buy the fastest you can afford without breaking the bank by performance for dollar.
If the top performer cost $100 more than the cheaper but no performance boost. You get the idea. Buy the cheaper.
At the moment I am looking at the toshiba 128 U3.
I will buy four of these for my ipod classic making a total of 512GB storage.
Note that there are many new features that is coming up for SD cards. As I said not that they will benefit our old Z ultra.
But you can still buy one that has a new feature as long as the price is right.
These are the ones I will buy. The one that is cheapest at the time of purchase. Download the Aliexpress app..you often get 40~70% off THAT sale price.

Samsung is a safe card. They are a bit expensive for what you get.
Sandisk is probably the best. But they are the most expensive. By performance for dollar.
A-DATA are good. But research if the specific batch is holding up. They tend to have some good and the other year bad and failing products. Same as with hard disks wd and seagate.
Some other exist but they are out of what I can get. They are more common in the us and asia. Like PNY, Transcend etc. So I cant comment on them.
Ol snap, SUPERUSER balling as usual!
That you for the additional info that will be much needed. I was interested in 128gb since the price has dropped over the years but now I see I need to keep my wallet closed until I put on my thinking cap!
Thank you very much friend!
