Is the highest capacity 32GB? Or has anyone tried 64GB
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk
according to the manufacturer 32GB is the highest.
OK great I was going to expand memory and knew it was labeled at 32GB just didn't know if it was hardware or software limited. Anyone maybe try otherwise?

32GB is the largest micsro SD card I can find at the moment. Have you seen any available that are larger?
Update: Oh, okay some company called KingMax has one out. Couldn't find any larger than 32GB on Amazon though.
Final thought: 80 GB phone baby!!! I've already got about 32 or so movies on my 32GB SD Card. 10GB Music on the internal SD.
Yea I have found them around as large as 64GBs just was curious as to if anyone has made the jump and tried it out.
Whatever you do, don't get a cheapo one from eBay.
I bought a counterfeit 32GB card on eBay. (Google it if you're interested.)

They need to start making 200gb sd cards =). I need enough room to carry my entire music collection of flac albums with me.
Most SSD's are still priced a little higher than the general public is willing to spend, so generally any flash memory card larger than 64GB/128GB isn't really going to sell well enough for the OEM's to justify manufacturing.
Seeing as how no phone supports more than a 64gb card, you could have a 200TB card if you want but your phone will never support it.

Hey guys if you guys could post some links of compatible or recommend me some 16gb/32gb micro SD cards that work with the G2x that would be great. I live in the USA.
All microSD brands should work...
OKay I was reading reviews and notice some don't work with Android devices. This one in particular.

The Lexar 32gb class 10 supposed to be good And you will probably need a class 4-10 because of writing while your filming 1080p... you dont want any lag
JD
Yes, the Lexar 32GB works absolutely fine and is class 10, which is a MUST with such a fast phone.
I bought a Wintech 16gb Class 10 at Fry's on sale for 29.99 months ago. Works well with Samsung Galaxy S phones and my LG G2X. Sure beats the silly Class 2 that came with the Galaxy phones. Its normal price is about $32. The Wintech 32gb Class 10 is 89. These are legit class 10 micro sd cards and I have benchmark tested them. Don't buy fake crap sold on Ebay from China. Beware as they sell 4gb micro sd cards labeled as 16gb and class 10. Try putting more than 4 gb total in the card and it says storage is full.
Okay thanks guys.
I'm chinese,agree with you,DONT buy sd card from china, sufferring from the fake card,sigh

I'm about to get my G2X later this week and I was wondering the same thing.
Do I really need a Class 10 though?
Also... what's a good size'd card for someone who wont be going crazy with the 1080p camera?
I just want to add a few movies here and there on the phone plus apps and music with some room for misc docs.
I'm looking for the combination of speed/capacity/and affordability.
Anymore suggestions?
Thanks
ps. sorry if I'm hijacking your thread.
16gb card is enough for that usage and doesnt cost much.

Thanks. What class would you recommend?
Regardless of class, I think I'll start out with a 16g and see how that goes. I'm pretty sure I'll be fine. I'll spend the bigger bucks on a 2-4 gig class 6-10 for a dedicated dSLR with 1080p recording.

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.

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..
I'm on a budget here, and I'm looking for an external SD to place all my media.
Thing is, I don't need to have amazing transfer speeds from PC to card.
I just play media on phone, and I don't frequently take videos on my phone.
So what's the best card for me? I suppose class 10 cards aren't a necessity for me right?
I bought a SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC from Amazon for $45. Don't know what your budget is so it is hard to recommend something.

I totally agree.
Whatever your budget and size-need is; make sure you buy a card that is class 10. Class 4 are too slow for files transfers; they're good for the normal reading of audio and video files but the transfers (in and out) are just a pain-slow...

WOAH! Anyone have any experience with any of these Sony SD cards? Looks like they're priced to move...
I heard eg class 6 performs better than class 10 in some scenarios.
Is class 10 always the way to go?
I've had a class 4 kingstone micro sd card and it worked extremely fine with media files .. I think class 10 just for media is a little bit far
Sandisk 32 gig class 10 is $22 on amazon. The class 6 is a couple dollars more. You won't need the higher class for what you are doing. Just for basic pics and music a class 6 is fine. Also I advise against the 64 gig if you are using CWM recovery and/or a aosp ROM. They aren't friends.

This doesn't make sense as I have 28gigs left. I have 2gigs internal left. Do you think it's because I have a cheap SD cars or my phone/Rom is messed up? I'm running Beans 6.

Ebay and amazon and basically any online store that isn't a reputable store(not saying they're not but you got more bad eggs than good ones online) is known for selling counterfeit sdcards. Or whatever the term may be. These are cars that are made to look like they're 32 gb when in reality they're 4. But I'd format and check it out on a pc first. And the card I would recommend is a samsung class 10 you can't go wrong with Samsung. The only con might be pricing if thats the case then go for sandisk but beware sandisk has about a 15% chance of being defective judging by the reviews.

Space you always get "screwed" on due to manufacturers using 1000mb=1gb instead of the ACTUAL measurement of 1024kb=1mb or 1024mb=1gb
But the class is something I agree with. class 4 is a bit slow. the other thing you have to look out for is if the class seems to be awesome for a small price, youre probably getting a class 2 instead of the higherclass advertised. been burned by this one often sadly. I no longer buy SD cards on amazon that arent US based lol.

With a Class 4 card, you will not be able to take Zoe's. The device will tell you the card is too slow. Saving pics and videos will also be slow, and you might get stuttering playing saved video, although music should be fine. Get a class 10 if you can afford it.

Unfortunately, eBay is awash with counterfeit SD cards. No name brands doctored to look like well known brands, and higher capacities (why the above reply mentioned getting "screwed" on the capacity). Folks on XDA have literally gotten SD cards where they peeled off the label (which said major brand, 64 GB, etc.) and found a label for a no-name 16 GB card underneath.
eBay is a great place to get deals, for sure. But unless you have a definitive reason to believe the seller and the product is legit, you really have no way of knowing if you are going to get counterfeit trash.
For this reason, I prefer to stick with reputable sellers like Newegg for certain things like SD cards.
