Max Capacity and Performance Class for MicroSD card on TP

Ok, since i tell that money is not a problem.
I want to know what is the biggest and fastest Micro SD card available for the HTC Touch Pro.
Anyone can tell if have tried the 32 Gb SDHC Class 10??? or higher (if exists 64gb)...
Thanks in advance...

class 6 16GB is the fastest/biggest you can get.

Kingston has a 16GB, class 10 micro sd card. Is there any limit in class that the phone can handle?

I think you are mistaken.
Follow this link...
wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raph_Specs

the fuze will handle up to a 32gb sd card... here is all the info for the fuze, and any other AT&T device available at this time....

i do tech support calls for AT&T mobility... i get alot of questions about these devices...

There is no 32GB card at the moment. I assumed you ask what can you get right now.

Yes...there is

That's great and all, but I hope you noticed that card won't fit in a Raphael.

LMAO i couldnt stop laughing when i read this.
SD CARD LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!

rofl i lol'd too. im sure it was an oversight or something. anyway im still curious if the device can even use the whole transfer rate offered by a class six. Can anyone confirm that this phone can utilize a class 6 to its full potential?
*so i read up that wiki. according to that then there is no point in getting anything over a class two since the top speed it hits with a class 6 is .5 MB/s and the class 2 bandwidth limit is 2Mb/s*
sooooo any thoughts on this?

sandisk does have a 32gb microsd.... but it's class 2 and $200
http://sandisk.com/products/mobile-memory-products/sandisk-microsdhc
not in stock now though.... it was a bit back....

neato, but if it was in stock wouldn't it have the same performance on our phone as a class 6? From what i wrote earlier, i believe our speed is capped by a hardware limitation so 4+ class speeds wont help?.
id really like an expert to confirm this.

I would also like an experts advice on this matter... I am stuck with a 2g micro card and am looking to buy the biggest one I can stick in my phone.
Thanks for any input.

Depends on how soon you want it. Also, I presume you are using a similar device to the TP... I was in a BestBuy recently and they had an 8gb microsd in-stock! The only place I was able to get a 16gb microsd(class 2), was online unfortunately. Of course, I did see a few 32GB usb sticks for under $100 and grabbed one up, several months ago...
Also, as physical proof that a 16gb card will work/be recognized:

Does the class count?! This week i would like to buy a 16GB class 10 card?! will it work? i'm not interested in the speed. im just interested in it to work in the phone 4 downloading movies over the internet & such...

save money, get a slower class. 16 gb works.

Let's bring this thread up to date now in 2016 I can confirm 128gb and 200gb micro sd cards work in my T7272.

What MicroSD are you using with android ?

i know theres a microSD recommendation thread. this is more of a survay.

Compared to the included 16GB Class 2 card, read rates went from 11MB/s to 19.6MB/s. Write rates went from about 7-10MB/s to over 16MB/s. Overall boot speed and performance is quicker and more snappy.

Brand : Sandisk
Size : 32GB

Class: 2
Stable: yes
Reason for purchase: It was £19 on Amazon.
Satisfied? Yes: No problems in Windows Mobile. I'd worry I'd notice speed problems when I switched to Android, but absolutely none at all in a month of heavy use. Watching Divx films on Android presents no problems, which is probably the heaviest use I can think of.
If it's slow anywhere, it's on direct transfer of files from PC to Card in a Card Reader, but still not noticably in Real World Usage.

I have two that I switch between

I use my 8Gb less than my 2Gb for some reason, it has my preferred build on it (ShubCraft) but it is in no way any less stable or reliable that my 2Gb

how you can measure the writing speed, my reading speed when mounting is like 5MB/S max

I have not foud a good app to test Battery draw, but I am running alot of stuff on here all the time and did not notice a battery life difference between cards. I can tell you I see the biggest difference when I am copying files on or off the system or when I have TiBu backing up to my external SD card.

70 euro
It is very new so the price is high. And it is one of the fastest cards that exist.

can you run a benchmark to see if the note can utilize the speed of the card ?

not bad for 70euros. but adding this to the note, will easily give us technically 80GB. nice purchase. i wonder when that will be available here in asia.

But does the Note 10.1 support UHS-I? Because if not this would be for us just a super expensive regular 20 MB/s card...

Recived this card today. Sd tools shows 12.6/18.8 w/r speed. In comparison against sandisc ultra 32Gb class 10 7.1/13.3 . I don't know if sdtools shows real digits or not.

Used SD speed increase app. Best result @3072 is 13.2/18.8 .
Gallery is very slow.
My resume : if you plan to use this card only inserted in Note 10.1 it's not worth it to pay $92.

Even a SanDisk Ultra Class 6 can give you up to 30mbps. I use a San Disk Ultra Class 10 & have never come close to hitting 30mbps speeds on anything other than DSLR. For phone or tablet, stick with class 6 or 10 if cheap. Otherwise, you are just paying for something you aren't using anyway.
BTW, The new 32Gb SanDisks are 90mbps.

For reliability I would trust Samsung more than Sandisk. Waiting for pricing to come down to earth.

Have the same card. using it as internalsd with swap sd script

Note 10.1 DOES NOT SUPPORT UHS-1, so buying such card for tablet is pure waste of money.
Sorry, haven't noticed how old is this thread.

How do you know this? The support is in the kernel, and IIRC any newer controller should be able to- there's hardware older than our Notes which definitely does.

Question about micro SD cards to go with this phone

I know what the different class ratings mean as far as write/read speeds go for a phone, but as a first time buyer of one, I was looking for recommendations as far as what class would best suit an S4, as I'm looking to purchase a 64 gig card where the prices can vary by a fairly large margin. Also, brand recommendations would be appreciated as well with anyone with real knowledge on the matter! Thanks! :laugh:

the best SD for SG is Samsung Class 10 MicroSD

As mentioned, "class 10", but be very careful there is a huge problem with cards that are being sold as class 10 cards that don't preform nearly to the specs that a class 10 card should. This is a problem that all card manufacturers are facing. It is due to many reasons, counterfeit cards, mismarked cards, substandard production, re-marked cards, etc... Even cards with packaging that looks legit, so, good luck.

I have a 64GB SanDisk UHS1 MicroSDXC card. It should work fine with the s4,right?

I would hope so, but with all of the problems I wouldn't count on it. I've bought many miro-SD cards in the past several months. I've bought Sandisk 32 GIG class 10 cards (or so they were represented) from Radio Shack, Amazon, and Best Buys. None of them benchmarked as class 10 when it came to Write speeds. They were all between 6 and 8 times write speed. I also bought a PNY 32 GIG class 10 card. It benchmarked at over 10X write speed and worked very well, however, it lasted about 2 weeks and crapped out. I've used Amazon basics and Samsung cards before, but they were 16 GIG cards and seemed to work well (I didn't benchmark them). If you do searches on Google about the issue or look at reviews for cards available on Amazon you can see how big of an issue it is.

When companies say like "up to 64GB", is that simply because that's the max that's available right now or is it a physical limit? When 128GB microSD cards come out, wouldn't they be compatible too since they'll still be SDXC?

Yes, that is why they say that. I can say that having been amongst the first to purchase 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64GB cards at times when manufacturers said they did not work - they all did.

128GB Micro-SD possible?

I was reading dfferent information about that so far.
Is it possible to use the 128GB Micro-SD Card on the Note 4, like it is on the S5?
Thanks!

Yes it is. In fact, I'm using a 128GB in my Note 3 right now. Look on amazon for the sanDisk 128GB microsd. I heard that one works with the S3 and up.

I would also like to find this out as well I assume it will but rather than guess like previous poster would like to see someone actually test it.
Both gsmarena and android central state 64gb max and that is the same for the note edge.
A lot of older phones stated they would only support 16gb micro sd cards but would work with 32gb cards so assume if you had a decent card you should be fine just stay away from the cheapies.

It'll work. My 64gb card, when formatted Fat32 works in my old N95, so any suggestion 128gb cards won't work here is utterly false.

There's no guessing going on here, it 100% will work.
128GB cards work in phones all the way back to the S2, they'll be just fine in the Note 4.

I believe the confusion circling the internet is based on the Note 4 having "up to 64GB INTERNAL storage". Any device that supports SDXC can "technically" support up to 2TB, but the tech is currently limited to 128GB. Disregard anything people are saying about the Note 4 only supporting up to a 64GB MicroSD, it's complete nonsense.

Just bought a 128gb class 10 and was getting nervous with all the specs calling out for 64gb max in the Note 4. The Note 4 has more upgrades, specs & build than any other new SmartPhone this year. Love the Note 4, looks, build and specs. Only thing I was hoping for was 64gb of int storage or maybe even 128. Manufacturers need to start stepping up int storage, this nickel & dime crap is lame. Never have enough int storage. Getting mine in white.

My concern with the 128 GB card, is that it's not exactly rated to be the quickest, which makes me wonder, if it's going to suffer as a result. The card I currently have in my S5 is only a 64GB Samsung Evo (48Mbps), but seem to do fine. I just don't want a weak link.
Personally, I'm going to compromise with a 64GB, but have almost double the speed of the currently available 128GB card.
This is the card I opt'd for, to use with the Note 4. -HERE

Samsung Evo is up to 90MB/s. It is pretty fast. 128GB can't reach this speed. I also use Meenova Dash reader to extend the storage.

As far as I know this is from Samsung officially and it says up to 64 GB micro sd maximum.

Interestingly I just visited their official micro site of Note 4.It justifies what you said. NOW, go to the official micro site of Note 3 and there you will see it says the same i.e., up to 64 GB whereas people who are using a Note 3 are already using a 128 GB card in their note 3's which are working. :laugh:

Hope that this will be the same with the note 4.

Don't worry. Samsung said the same about Note 3 but all(most) people can use 128GB.

Ya, I'm even using a 256GB sdxc card in my note 3 and it works fine. Total space on my note 3 is 288GB. Don't worry about the note 4. It will support just as much if not more.

Can you share a link for the 256GB sdxc?
