Recommended Micro SD Cards That Work w/G2x

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.

bump

any good recommendations from online sellers, since i'm in AU most instore are a rip offf

What SD card do you recommend?

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.

I figured my best bet was to buy one directly from Amazon if I bought it online.

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.

So we shouldn't have any problems with the class 2 cards right?

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:

[Q] SanDisk 32GB Mobile Ultra MicroSD microSDHC

Would this card work with the international Galaxy Note GT-N7000?
I plan on buying a Note pretty soon, but I am confused as to which memory cards are compatible.
I am not yet allowed to paste outside links, but the card can be found on eBay India as Sandisk 32GB Mobile Ultra microSDHC. The part number is SDSDQY-032G-U46A.

Hello,
The 32gb microsd card works perfectly on the Note. You can even go bigger if you want to.
In that case (64gb for example) you'll have an error message. Just ignore and reformat the card
Inside the note and you'll see that your 64gb microsd works and shows something around 59gb
Of space.
Have fun with your Note! I'm new coming from iPhone and I'm so glad with my new Note

Yes buddy it should work just fine unless really bad luck due to manufacturing defect.. Any hardware has minor risk of being a lemon so do look for one with warranty since most of these cards atleast come with year warranty.. 32 should be good enough but if got budget might consider 64 gb one if they have as well! Enjoy noting will surely make you Samsung fan..

I would love a 64GB card, but budget is a severe restraint. Maybe later.
Lets see how I get along with the 32GB first. If it isn't enough, I can always upgrade later.

Memory Card related queries
Hello Friends.
Firstly, I sincerely apologise to the OP if he/she feels I have hijacked his/her thread.
Since I have a very basic set of queries, it would not suffice to create a thread and clutter the sub-forum.
I have a SanDisk 16GB microSDHC Class 4 memory card which I purchased to use with my Galaxy Note.
Is it a standard practice to format the memory card before using it the first time?
Also, in the event the memory card does need formatting at some point in its life span, should it be formatted on the device (Galaxy Note) or a computer?
What file system is recommended?
I thank you for having constant patience with my naive behaviour.

To op, I have the 32gb version of that card and it works flawlessly. I had a 16gb class 10 sandisk in it previously but had occasional issues where the card would need reformatting haven't had any problems with this one at all. I would recommend buying from reputable dealer, lot of fakes around.
please hit thanks if i helped

Recommendations for micro sd

My 16 gig kingston filled up quite rapidly after 2 weeks so I'm looking in getting a 32 or 64 micro sd but not sure what I shall get.
I see theres sdhc sdxc but not sure whats the differences.
I read theres issues with sandisk so I was thinking of either samsung lexar or kingston.
Also does the note 2 use the class 10 cards to its fullest as in its max read/write speeds?
I've read its pointless paying extra for the class 10 cards since the note2 dont use it to the fullest
Thanks in advance for any replies

either buy 32gb or 64gb any company OTHER THAN SCANDISK ............................it Sucks big time. i have scandisk 32gb and it keeps on unmounting mounting every now and than .

sandisk 64gb class 10

The Note II can use a 64 gb sdcard. I would only use a class 10. Its way quicker tranferring files, or taking videos. Also you can use SD-Booster. Download from the Play Store. Its free. You can tell the sdcard at what speed to be ruiing at. 2048, 4096, etc, etc. Phone must be rooted to use.

I have and currently use the ScanDisk Extreme 64GB SDXC class 10 card. I haven't had, or at least noticed, any issues while using it. I just formatted the card right away when I installed in the phone.
You may want to install directorybind. I believe you need root. A lot of app install on the phone's storage, not on the SDcard. So you may want to check if your card or phone storage filled up. Other than that, I would suggest moving pictures and videos off your phone if you have a lot.

If you use a swap file on the SD card, it will go bad way faster than normal. I avoid using the card for a swap file.

Lexar
I've been using a Lexar 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC card for many months. Both in the Note 2 and previously to that in an S3 -- no issues ever. No crashes, no unmounts, no corruption, etc.

I got mine when amazon had them for $40. I got two. One is in a tablet, no issues. The one in the GN2, I originally put in my Evo 4G and it worked fine; it couldn't get class 10 speed, but worked very well with Boot Manager

Thanks for all the replies
I just bought a kingston 64gb sdxc class 10 earlier @ frys for $40 after tax.

[Q] Best microSD card?

What microSD cards do you guys recommend for the Note 4? I'm going to be honest, I have never bought a microSD as I have never seen the need nor had a phone that supported it. Now, being a first time Note user and seeing their value with having to Odin firmwares and such, I was wondering what you guys would recommend? I see Samsung Evo has good reviews and SanDisk seem to have a lot of buyers. I hear a lot of people complain about their microSD cards getting corrupted and/or breaking down so obviously that is something that I would pay more for to get a nicer version. I just have no experience in this field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wind up living with my Note and find more and more uses for it. I would get something great because you are almost certainly going to use it.
I would suggest Samsung 128GB MicroSDXC EVO+ Card - MB-MC128DA/AM, about $105 on Amazon. Lots of storage, about as fast as it is going to get with that much storage (you may really need the speed and storage for video).
If you have the power you can try new things and it is fun. If you cheapee out your weenie machine may be a drag - slow or not enough storage or mabe new applications won't work to full advantage. Sure enough as time goes on there will be amazingly cool apps that will use whatever horsepower they can get. If you want to take full advantage of that beautiful new Note dont saddle it onto a donkey, go for the stunning racehorse.

I recently bought the Samsung 64GB EVO Class 10 Micro SDXC on Amazon for $22. I can honestly say this has been my best card, the writing speed is incredible and unlike the SanDisk 32GB Class 10 I used before it hasn't given me any troubles at all. I can't recommend the Samsung series enough.

Sandisk 128gb is $60 on amazon. Sandisk is highly compatible with lots of things. Not that the other SD cards wnt work with note4, but other electronics don't play as nicely sometimes. Also, they're very reliable. And usually not the fastest, but the tradeoff is reliability.
