Hi guys, I am trying to buy a "SanDisk Mobile Premier 2GB Micro SD high speed", I believe it is fit for Kaiser, right?
Yep that'll work fine; be wary of buying on eBay as many tend to be fakes. Buy from a trusted reseller. I have got a 6GB for less than £40 delivered.
If your in the US, you can get great deals @ newegg.com
I purchased my 2gb microsd for 19.99, and 3 day ups is standard shipping.(costs like 3-5 dollars, on some cases its free shipping)
it supports cards over 2GB (Micro SDHC); i have a 2GB Micro SD for now, waiting for a 10-15GB model of the SDHC's to come out so i can dump all my music on it and ditch my iPod
dunno where ive got this from but i think/heard/got the vibe that the kaiser can only support up to 8gb sdhc?
that's great, I was think about a 2GB one but seems like it is not enough? Does Kaiser a good music/video player?

i get maybe 45 minutes out of a charge on the iPod anymore; it will permanently reside in my car soon enough. Dont get me wrong, the iPod is great and all, but pocket space is at a premium for me, and between wallet, cell/PPC, keys, iPod, ciggs, lighter, and PassCards my pockets are stuffed. If 8GB is the most the Kaiser will support, then so be it.

Yes we all need a slim pocket...
By the way here comes a new question, I found that all micro SDHC are come with CLASS 2, that means 9mb/s on reading and 5mb/s on writing... a little bit slow? It that necessay to buy a MicroSD Ultra II ?

up to 32 GB sd card in ATT Tilt

if you have a 1-2GB micro SD card now, i'd wait a while unless your dying for memory space; they are bound to up the read/write speeds and lower the prices. I teach digital photography, a few years back read/write speeds of memory cards mattered a LOT, nowadays most D-SLR's have a huge cache so a superfast memory card isnt such a big deal, and the prices are fairly decent. My bet is in 6 months an 8 gig Ultra II Micro SDHC shouldnt be more than $60.
thats great to hear RacerX10; even 10-15GB should effectively mean i dont need to drag my laptop and iPod everywhere; 32GB means pretty much ALL my media with me.
SDHC spec is up to 32gig, today the max you can actually buy is 6gig. By the time you can actually buy a 32gig, we'll be using different phones like TyTN III

6GB Micro SDHCs are available - Sandisk seems to be th eonly real supplier at this moment. I'm sure others will have theirs out soon too. I just bought one from www.mydigitaldiscount.com in the US. Got it with no issues, and I've filled 4.5GB of it with music and video.
8GB MicroSDHCs are targeted for release probably around the end of the year. Again, Sandisk will be the first supplier.
No one has even announced an official "coming soon" statement for anything bigger than 8GB yet.

Kaiser is a real good video player(Using TCPMP), but it also depends on the format.
My favorite, and In my opinion, the best format is .m4v (You may need a special convertor for that)
Other formats are either 2 big, or has really choppy playback.
Also you should increase your font and glyph cache to 32768 (makes things more responsive/ smoother)
the SDA SD Card Association has never quite said the 'maximum' size of a Micro SD; there is a theoretical maximum of 32 GB, hence the 'limit' at the moment, which IMO means merely a new 'type' of SD card in a year or two. as for hardware that reads them, there likely is a maximum size they can read.
Currently Samsung has an 8GB Micro SD in development, Kingston and Sandisk are sure to be right behind anyways. besides, its just a memory card; i have piles of 128MB Memory Stick Pro Duo's that i bought for my Sony S710a when it first came out, and 128MB was still a fairly sizeable card for a cell phone; now we're talking 6-8+ gigs...

I am still using the stock 2 gb card that came with my Incredible. I'm looking to get a bigger SD card preferably an 8 or a 16 gb card. What class, size, brand, etc do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance..

They're all pretty much the same. Never heard of a 'bad SD card' company.
I don't think our phones can take advantages of anything above a class 4, so it'd be a waste of money really to spend it on a higher class aka faster card.
This would be my first choice:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...H0SC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1316312237&sr=8-2
It's actually the card I've been using for a year. Works great, quick and still a lot of room left on it.

I'm not sure I ever actually understood the whole speed thing. Is it how fast stuff is read off the card by our phone, or how fast things transfer from my computer into the card?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
speed ratings are how fast data is WRITTEN to the card.
The Incredible only came with a 2GB card? I'm still using the 8GB card that came with my Eris. Unfortunately nandroid backups take up so much room on this phone, I usually can only store 1. I'm not sure I want to invest in one since most phones seem to be coming with 16GB ones now.
Yeah.
I guess to break it down a little more, our phone only uses
- MicroSD
- Class 4 (classes are just speed ratings for the card and I do not believe our phone supports higher than 4 - not to mention there's nothing practical that you would need to go that quick on a phone anyway)
- Up to 32 (HTC says 32) // Verizon says 16.
I don't know of anyone who has used a 32, again I don't think it's very practical unless maybe you have your entire music library of 20,000 songs on your phone.
I have tried 3 different cards, PNY, Kingston, and San-disk. I have had issues with, PNY and Kingston, but never with any issues with San-disk.

I'm using a 32 GB SanDisk with no problems. I just didn't want to go through the hassle of buying a 16 GB only to replace it with a 32 GB later. I'm only using 12 GB and most of that is nandroid backups that I could probably get rid of.
The sweet spot price wise is probably the $15 16 GB instead of the $60+ 32 GB. But if you want/need 32 GB, it does work.
i have a 32gig scan disk and have had no problems with it.
Be careful when purchasing SD cards on eBay or 3rd party retailers on Amazon because there are a TON of counterfeit cards out there.

You're right on that. Basically, if the deal looks to good to be true, then it probably is.
I'm using an el-cheapo 16GB Class 2 SanDisk card. Hasn't given me any issues yet, and its been through 3 different phones now.

I would get the largest size card you can afford...then you can keep as many apps on it, music, pics, etc on it, and save the internal space for cache and not have the phone go crazy if you forget to clear it in awhile.
I personally have an 8GB and I'm considering getting a 16 or above, but 8 is a great size if you have a DECENT music and video collection along with games otherwise I would get a 12GB-32GB if you have tons of media. Click thanks if this helped!

I actually read up on what sd cards perform well as they have benchmark scores on the Toms Hardware site. The Kingston 8gb class 10 is really good. I got around 16 mb/s write speed and 19 mb/s read speed. Not too shaby for $9 on Amazon, and they have the 16gb for $16. Also, if I remember correctly the 16gb performed a little better than the 8gb, but both are perform well.

This right here. While physical stores can also get hit with fake cards, the big dumping ground for cheap chinese knock-offs is ebay and third-party Amazon sellers. Buy one, and you're likely to get a much slower card, the wrong capacity, or just a lump of SD-shaped plastic. you're better off going to wally-world, beastbuys, or a reputable e-tailer like new-egg.
That all said, SD cards are pretty much a commodity item, meaning they're more or less all the same. The Dinc itself I believe can only read around Class 4 speeds, but that's no reason not to go ahead and get a nice fast Class 10 card. Sooner or later you'll probably want to use it in another device or in your PC and it's nice to have the breathing room. I usually buy Sandisk when I buy them, but they're essentially indistinguishable.
And on a tangentially related topic. I see that the Galaxynote 2 is going to be one of the first devices to use SDXC cards... who else is ready to dump 2 terabyte SD cards into their phones to keep their whole lives on? :highfive:

Well I am running a 64Gb SD card in my DINC and it seems to be working fine with Carbon rom. Have not tried the CM 10 yet.. was thinking of trying it tonight..
Planning on picking up a 32GB micro SDHC card, to replace my current 8GB card, within the next two days.
Shooting for at least a class 4, which I will likely end up with, really don't feel like paying extra for a class 6 or 10 at the moment, especially for what I use it for (Music, Apps, Docs, Pics).
Just want to see if anyone else is rocking one yet, and if so which brand?
Thanks
ADATA 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card with Adapter Model AUSDH32GCL10-RA1
Bought it on newegg for $70 and its a class 10. so far i am happy with it
I have a Kingston 16 GB class 4 in my Vivid. It works great for me, and was noticeably quicker loading the gallery and saving pictures on my old HTC Evo then the standard 8 GB class 2. I recall seeing some people having problems with class 6 & 10 in some phones, but don't remember the details.
32GB class 4 San disk work fine, currently i have no idea to fill it up with
Why stop at 32gb? SanDisk makes a 64GB micro SD card that is compatible... I'm using it right now, unfortunately I can't post the pic from the phone though... Google it also, if you order one, Google a discount code for 10% off and that'll cover most of shipping.

Great to hear, can we just dismount and use adapters to plug into a pc to transfer wiles at will? Does the formatting affect this ability?
I would do this quite a bit with my sdhc card.
now a good question, how much does this 64GB will cost you?
Here's a picture... I ordered mine directly from SanDisk, with the discount and plus shipping it was right around $220.

i dont think 5x the cost for double the capacity is worth it
Well, my 32Gb sd card came in today, so I should go pick it up later today.
Are we given the option to format the card once placed into our phone?
...I have been looking around but haven't seen anything about it so fare...on HTC's site, the manual, etc...
Thanks
woa, what about class 10 not working? I have a class 10 8gb card that im planning on using (got it for like 10 bucks online 2 years ago). I really hope it works fine...phone comes tomorrow so lets see.
What I find amusing is that the Vivid is listed as having 16GB of memory. After OS install and bloatware that drops it to 8.83? wtf is that. Unless boot/recovery/radio all share which is highly doubtful and totally insecure
Class 10 doesn't necessarily mean faster speeds. It does mean faster speeds if you are transferring 8 gigs of music for example. But when it is in the phone, the random read/write speeds are actually worse than class 4. There is a thread on here somewhere about it.
...so how do we go about formatting them for our phone, or is it automatic?

I grabbed a 32GB Class 10 on Black Friday for $40.

It is automatic. The SD card probably comes preformatted with FAT32, which Android accepts. It'll do the folder architecture automatically.

This is only for people who actually open to ideas, not for people who just want to ***** and moan.
I wanna buy the 8GB, for every day use it will be perfect for me, but for the odd case where I go on a long plane journey and don't want to take my tablet, I wondered if there is solution...and then I realised there was, and it's ultra compact.
USB on the Go is the saviour here. Pair this adapter with this tiny USB stick and you suddenly have 32GB extra space.
If your feeling more adventurous, you could go down this DIY route too, very cool and I might be trying this myself
But how is this implemented on the software side? Does stock android support this?
sure, usb host ist what you need

Yeap that's possible, but absent of miniSD card is a big deal breaker for me considering this is just only 8GB - and there's a nice article at http://www.androidpolice.com, why this is so cheap considering this is unlocked phone. It sounds like Google did sacrifice some specs make the cost down and more affordable.
I have Samsung Galaxy S III with 16GB, and plust 32GB sd card, I am already running out space since I save a lot of musics, and games on my sd card and since we all carry the phone with us (not like 10 inch tablet), it makes better sense to have bigger space on your phone.
so really 8GB quite deal breaker.
Don't think that I am *****ing and moanning about it, Nexus 4 specs quite amazing and looks premium quality, and what you said about USB stick would work just fine, but just wanted to share my 5 cent opinion here.
I think that this could work. Im also looking to buy the 8gb flavor.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone will be happy with 8GB, I just didn't want people coming in here just to moan. It's down to cost, and if you need more space, that's cool.
16GB is enough for me, and if I need more space I'll use dropbox/google drive
Of course I would prefer microSD slot, but... I guess for 350$ which includes S4 Pro, 2GB RAM, 2100mAh battery, two cameras and its a nexus, we can't complain about anything!!

Yeah, the lack of storage and no sd card for me is also a deal breaker. It's such a shame because I'm really excited about the device. The price here in the UK is so low for what appears to be a high end device, it's amazing. In fact, I've never felt so conflicted about a device. I really want it, but I know it won't hit the mark, purely for lack of storage. With games like NOVA 3 taking up 3GB, plus my sat nav requiring almost 2GB, there won't be much space for other stuff. Data coverage where I live is pretty hit and miss so streaming media from the cloud still isn't a viable alternative for me yet which is a shame. Perhaps it will at least help to drive down the price of other handsets that have high end SoC?
I think the OP's suggestion is a very good one. This approach works well most of the time on a Galaxy Note, as long as it's just a flash drive or micro SD card that the phone can successfully power. I wonder if there would be a way to toggle something like 'directory bind' on and off so that you could put music/media/data files for games on a micro sd card, then just plug it in when you need, change the path of the internal SD card to the external one, then fire up a game. That would be a reasonable compromise from my perspective.
Such a shame, it's so cheap
I don't understand the people who want to buy the 8gb version. Its only a little bit more for the 16gb version.
.. and don't say its because you can't afford it.. because if this phone was the same price range as the galaxy nexus or any other high end smart phone you would still buy it.
Just pay that little bit extra and get double the space.
I have a USB-OTG cable and a USB microSD card reader so I would just buy another 16GB/32GB card and carry that around with me. It is easy to take out and plug in and easy to put away when not needed.
Hey guy's. My Girlfriend got a Galaxy Nexus and YES USB-OTG is part of the Chipset Configuration the GN comes with! The Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 Chipset supports OTG as well. In the pure Android-Roms the Nexus Devices are running the Firmware supports OTG by default. As I know it's included in the kernel... so no need to create a problem!!!
buy a OTG Adapter - 1,99€ on Amaz...
buy a USB Stick 32Gb. - 12,00€ even on Amaz..
buy a LG NEXUS 4 16GB - 349,00€
= 362,99€ complete!
so if you compare this the other "leading devices" you save up to 200€!!! so you see, no need to spend tears and cry.... Start smiling cause you got a few buck's left to buy some Christmas presents for the family!
I use Google Music and sync my photos to my 50GB dropbox account (thank you Samsung!). 16GB is more than I ever need. The only time I get close to using that much is if I'm dual booting 2 different roms.
I do this with my Nexus 7 and plan to continue doing it with the Nexus 4! Really useful when I want to stick a film or tv show on there and watch on the go.

Yes this would work. I personally have done it with my Gnexus and nexus 7. However, you have to be very careful with that thing sticking out of your phone. It could be very easy to knock the phone over or drop it or something and I would be concerned about hurting the stuff inside the phone.
good alternative... currently have the 16GB NS4G and was really excited when i saw the tweet about the N4 and N10 today... disappointed by no Verizon/Sprint compatibility tho... this definitely would've been my next phone if i could use it on these networks...
question about his alternative tho... is 32GB the limit it can read or can you go up to something like 64GB storage as well??

good alternative... currently have the 16GB NS4G and was really excited when i saw the tweet about the N4 and N10 today... disappointed by no Verizon/Sprint compatibility tho... this definitely would've been my next phone if i could use it on these networks...

There's no limitation. You could plug in a 3TB external hard drive if you wanted.

lol no... but i have my hard drive b/c i'm using it to transfer files between people... i mostly just stream Pandora and don't play many games... the space isn't the issue for me really on this device... no cdma is ... but it's great to know there's essentially no limit to the sd/usb car we can add to this!
Why do you need so much space? I'm using an Xperia S right now, with 32GB and I've got over half of it free. 18GB free to be precise, but I haven't been deleting photos and such that I don't need, so they're at 1.3GB.
there hasn't been to much talk about micro sd..
Ill probably be purchasing the sandisk ultra ush1 most likely 64 gigs
Amazon link to the card
amazon has it now for 59.51.. price trackers have seen it as low as 43.49 on amazon around october 22nd
what's everyone else using
I got a 64gb from bb last week for 49.99 and will probably never even come close to filling it bit it's better to have more space than not enough

Personally, I'm using a 32GB and it's doing me just fine. I wanted to get a 64GB after seeing that deal, but couldn't justify it at that price. Whenever 64GB cards normalize down to about $40 or less, I might upgrade, but for now a 32GB card is fine for me. I only paid $20 for my 32GB card and it works quite well.
I had a 32 gig that I was using in my Note 1, but I ran out of space, so bought the 64 gig a couple of weeks ago. When you have a few different ROMs, titanium backups, nandroid backups, movies and mp3s on there, it adds up pretty quickly.

a class 2 card will do just fine for 99% users...it's gonna suck if someone is putting tons of data on it at one time but the acutal functionality of it will be juuuuuust fine...
i, ordered this thing http://dx.com/p/sd-to-microsd-transflash-card-converter-module-27001 and will attempt to use a 128GB SD card in my Note II...i performed a rather crude experiment to see if it could fit under the battery cover...it buldges a tiny bit but it's hardly noticeable...
worst case scenario i'll have a 128 gig sd card laying around...LOL
Do they even make class 2 64gb cards?
I think the cheapest I've seen are class 6 at that capacity.

Seller seems to have decent reviews though. Not sure if I should take the risk? For $15.88 it cant be too much of a risk right?

storage cards are like women...the good ones aren't cheap and the cheap ones aren't good...
I got mine from eBay just before I got the phone for about 63 bucks. It's a "SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra microSD SDXC Card 30MB/s Class 10" and it's great!

Well, the risk depends on how much your data is worth to you.
I don't see the point in trying to save money by getting "cheap" memory.
If it fails, you're f&cked.
There's always a chance of memory failing, but the chance is higher if it's a cheap copy.
Cheap batteries, cases, adaptors etc. are a "try it, and if it breaks, has a short life span, or doesn't work properly, I'll buy another one" situation.
If your SD card fails and you haven't copied your photos, or whatever, to another location, buying another SD card won't be much use.

I agree with everyone so far. There are a lot of fakes being sold..ultimately it's your decision. If u do decide though..if it's legit u can check the serial number with sandisk..if that's good then ur lucky..and that seller probably is selling stolen goods..
I got mine from bb and it was $55 including tax. I know radio shack had them at $39.99 once..and I'm waiting for it again..u never know..and that's a fair price

Well I got this one:
http://www.ebay.ch/itm/Micro-SDXC-C..._Handy_PDA_Speicherkarten&hash=item2c69b48295
and its worth every penny... If you want some speed, get the best one in a box so yo really know that you have not been ripped off.
If you could afford SGN2 I suppose you can afford an OEM Micro SDXC
I recommend getting a class 10 64 gigabyte microSD card and partitioning it into 2 partitions, one for your files and one for your apps. Then use Link2SD and you can automatically install apps on the second partition. This way you will worry less about filling up your 16 gigabyte internal storage. This is what I was doing on my Galaxy S3.

I would buy a cheap memory card. I have mines in sync for dropbox so at worse I would lose the pictures from that past hour. Mines is a cheap Microcenter 32GB class 10. They offered me same day replacement if it fails.
I would never even consider getting a cheap battery. If it breaks or doesn't work properly it could take my phone with it. I had some cheap batteries before for the old epic 4g. Both of the batteries started to develop cracks around the body despite not being damage. That could have caused problems if I hadn't notice. Cheap cases could scratch your phone and sometimes the expensive one could too but I don't hear about it as often as I do with the cheap ones.
Adapters really depends on what they are for. I heard, don't know for a fact, that some of the off brand MHL adapters for our device don't always work and when they do they aren't as good as doing 1 to 1 as the Samsung adapter are. I would love to see someone test out the different ones to see if there is actually a difference. With monster HDMI and normal HDMI there might actually be a difference but as long as there is enough data it will form the same signal which means they both should work the same despite the difference in the amount of data transferred. But with audio, cables can make a world of a difference.

Thanks on the Link, wasn't a 100% on all the class speeds and what not and this helped. I just popped in my old 8gb card from my previous phone and was looking to grab a 64Gb card and it looks that it will be a class10.
Just got my Sandisk 64GB Ultra. Got it from newegg and works great so far. Tested it with H2W to make sure it was really 60GB
