I wanted to post this and share my thoughts. I purchased both the A-Data 150x 4GB SD Card and the Transcend 150x 4GB SD Card for my Universal (specifically, an imate JasJar). Both appear to work fine on my Universal without any problems. I plugged both in straight out of the box. The one problem you MAY have is getting a card read for your PC that will read these cards. Here's one that will definately work:
SanDisk MobileMate™ SD™ Plus 5-in-1 Reader (SDDR-103)
Here's the link:

I've been able to use the MobileMate with both cards and they appear as 4GB removeable harddrives on my computer (XP Pro w/SP2).
Hope this information is useful to some.
Where did you buy the "A-Data 150x 4GB SD Card"?
ebay.
Can you also please check if the A-Data SD card allows you to store pictures and video on it.
I bought the Transcernd 4GB about 2 months ago and I can't store pictures on it using my XDA EXEC. Thus I returned it for a refund.
Both work
I've read that people have had problems with storing picture on the SD Card. I've taken pictures and successfully stored them using BOTH cards (A-DATA and Transcend) and I've watched videos on both.
Excellent, I am going to soon purchase an SD card for my Jasjar. Knowing the 4GB works is great news.
Thanks,
I bought it two days ago from Ebay (flashman) and all is going well apart from two aspect:
1) My portable acer tr 8100 did not recognaize the card and to load files i used special software i saw in this forum
2) before i used 1gb sd and store directly photo and videos take from the phone in that card and all is went good.
Now with this new card i didn't, i have to store directly in the phone memory.
I think is a phone problem not a faulty sd.
A-Data have lifetime guarantee...

I have that problem I cannot save photos or video with my camera on the A-Data card. The error that comes up is the following:-
Unable to capture.
Not enough memory.
36009:111:0
Now the card is new and its 98% free.
What I am thinking is could it be that your version of camera.exe is different from mine. Weatheryoko can you upload your camera.exe here please.

That sounds like a problem with the application - sounds like someone has used a signed integer instead of an unsigned integer. It has too much memory to show in to small a space and thus shows a smaller number that is actually available.... It's an app problem, not an SD card problem.

That makes sense therefore would you say that if I fill up the card more and there is less empty space the card would work with the camera? Or maybe there are different versions of the camera.exe that would handle the extra memory?

Yes that sounds like it should work - although how much you need to fill up I don't know. You'd probably need between 1 and 2GB I would imagine.

Correct there as it worked. Hope they fix this bug as I was going to send the card back. Many owners of 4GB sd cards have sent it back because of this bug. Thanks to you, darkblak and this forum this is solved

Thanks for this info. I guess the next time I buy one I'll have to remember to fill it up more than 2GB for the camera to store it to the card.
erm, not sure that is the problem. I have gotten exactly the same error before when using the 512MB card that came with the universal. I think it is to do with the speed of writting to the card, and actually, the amount of memory available to the application.

I had the same problem with my 512Mb card so it can't be a case of card size. Speed of card and memory avaliable might be more likely, as coldpenguin said.

What I wanted to know is, if it is only the Camera.exe that has this problem or is there any other software that accesses the storage card that has a similar problem.
If it is only the Camera.exe are there different versions that might not have this bug?
My version of Camera.exe is Version 3.00 (Build 21244)
Based from what happened to me, I don't think it is the camera.exe file that has this problem. Why? I had problems with the 4GB Card Transcend card, but I am not having any problems with the San Disk 2 GB ULTRA. I also tried the San Disk 1 GB card (basic) and had no problems with it. Just like what is stated above, I have to agree that the bug lies in the built-in card reader.exe file.

For your information, I'm using Transcend 4GB SD (150x). I had the problem and initially I thought it was a memory problem but then it happened even right after I reset the phone, then I tired record to local storage without problem. I tried to fill it with around 2.5GB of video and it works perfectly.

As stated in other posts its not just the size but even the speed that will make camera.exe not save on it. But some questions apart from the Camera not saving photos and movies on the card was the 4GB recognized by the Universal? You where able to install software on the card. Because I could do all this accept saving from the Camera.exe.
I'm having trouble with Class 10 SD cards.
The error in dmesg is:
Code:

<3>[74882.932128] mmcblk1: error -110 transferring data, sector 15791897, nr 1, card status 0xe00
Apparently this is a known problem with the incorrect timeout on high-speed SD cards.
The kernel source file is omap_hsmmc.c, the timeout needs to be hardwired as 14:
Code:
static void set_data_timeout(struct mmc_omap_host *host,
struct mmc_request *req)
uint32_t reg, dto;
reg = OMAP_HSMMC_READ(host->base, SYSCTL);
dto = 14;
reg &= ~DTO_MASK;
reg |= dto << DTO_SHIFT;
OMAP_HSMMC_WRITE(host->base, SYSCTL, reg);
}
I've put off actually delving into kernel building for a long time...

Ah, I've seen various issues with my Sandisk Ultra 32GB Class 10/UHS-I card. I figured it might just be a clash between the Nook and that particular card, or that my Nook's SD card slot wasn't making consistently good contact.
Perhaps get waynesi to include the fix in his 1.2.1-derived kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294948
I came across http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-s3-fault-is-caused-by-sandisk-memory-cards-50010684/ yesterday, documenting the Samsung GS4 killing SD cards from various manufacturers. No idea of the classes of SD cards affected, but I wonder if this is a deeper problem in the kernels used by various Android devices?
I've always worked on the assumption that if a device specifies it works with class X SD cards, then it'll work at least as well with Class >X SD cards, even if it doesn't get the maximum performance the SD card permits. Consequently, I've always bought the biggest, fastest economic choice with a view to it remaining useful for longer (e.g. for future devices). I'm revising that view.
Interesting to see this thread. I just bought a Nook touch and was looking into what card to by. In the UK now it seems that the choice is between class 4 and 10. I have seen posts recommending class 6 for the nook and had assumed that class 10 would also be ok. Would it be better to stick with a class 4? I only plan to use my nook as a reader so I can't see why it would need a fast card tbh.
I wouldn't have got mixed up with Class 10 either except for doing 24 bit stereo recording.
I find that my old class 4 does fine with the ALSA buffer configured correctly.
A more important point I find is getting rid of FAT on SD cards if you rely on timestamps at all.
(I use adbsync.exe for syncing and it uses timestamps).
The Nook's implementation of FAT is screwy and rewrites file timestamps in different timezones.
Check out vold and ext3 if you care about any of this.
I have a samsung sd card 10 32 gb
If u tell me how, i can post my dsmeg if help u
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
To see the dmesg, just type "dmesg" to an ADB shell.
I don't think we'll learn anything new from your log,
but you can see if your Class 10 is having problems.
The error message will be the same as at the top of this thread.
Thanks for the reply. I have a 16GB class 4 in my phone so I may put that in the nook and get a new one for the phone.
I am only planning to use the nook as a reader but I am a linux user so I know what ext is and it is no problem for me to format the card as ext3. Are there any drawbacks to using ext3 instead of fat?
There are no disadvantages to having your SD card in ext3,
that is, except for the fact that the Nook volume daemon won't mount them.
See the thread on the replacement vold: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184495
Had a quick look at the thread and think I will steer clear When you mentioned ext3 I thought as it is based on linux android would be able to use ext but I think for my basic needs I will stick to fat.

FYI, latuk has built a kernel including this fix (along with FastScreen & MultiTouch & UsbHost & UsbToCom & UsbSound. The module cdc-acm is included to make ttyACM0 for GSP Holux M-1000C). It's linked from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43797159&postcount=172. I've installed it on my Nook and it booted. I'm testing it now.

There seems to be an assumption that faster SD cards are automatically better; that may not always be the case. Some research suggests that faster cards are better for sequential read/write - i.e. when working with large files such as digital images. They may be the best card to use for digital cameras for this reason.
Random access read/write, e.g running an OS and randomly accessing small and dispersed files, may work better on nominally slower cards. This is mentioned on a Wikipedia page about Secure Digital cards. As a new user, I can't post outside links so you'll have to Google it.
A relevant paragraph from the Wikipedia page is:
The speed class rating does not totally characterize card performance. Different cards of the same class may vary considerably while meeting class specifications. In addition, speed may vary markedly between writing a large amount of data to a single file (sequential access, as when a digital camera records large photographs or videos) and writing a large number of small files (a random-access use common in smartphones). One study found that, in this random-access use, some Class 2 cards achieved a write speed of 1.38Mb/sec, while all cards tested of Class 6 or greater (and some of lower Classes; lower Class does not necessarily mean better small-file performance), including those from major manufacturers, were over 100 times slower.

The 'one study' the above paragraph refers to is available as a PDF document from the page I've mentioned above (but can't link to).
FYI, I told latuk about this thread, and he included the patch in his kernel, which I'm now using on my NST.
At first I thought it was helping, but it seems that apps running on the NST that write to the sdcard (I my case, a SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10/UHS-I) still cause it to become forcibly unmounted (with consequent filesystem corruption; typically bad VFAT short file names).
EDIT:The bad VFAT short file names seem to be "normal" for any writes performed by the Nook. But the class 6 doesn't seem to get forcibly disconnected like my class 10 did.
It seems, those with NST Glowlight, should buy class 6 for now and avoid class 10, right?
Asking because I'm looking for 64GB MicroSD and all I find are class 10!

Yup, SanDisk did used to make their 64GB SDXC as a class 6 device; I bought one for my SGS2 when their 64GB cards were just coming out, about Jan 2012. New stock is class 10. I'm not sure I'd trust eBay for memory cards, though; counterfeits are so common. I always buy my memory cards directly from reputable suppliers, preferably listed on the manufacturer's website.
Also, I'm not sure if a 64GB card will work with the NST (like it does with the SGS2, even though its specs state a maximum of 32GB).

At SanDisk lot of problems with the latest memory cards. I have a class 10 card works in Nook.
Hi guys,
I just realized that whenever i delete a photo, the phone would lag for 1 - 2 seconds until i can continue with my next move of swiping or to delete the next photo.
i have a 64gb SanDisk class 10 SD card in it and a ton of photos too.
Anyone else is facing this issue?

Hello!
Please help me with the following problem ....
Rested prazniki in another city, and of course with my family take pictures and videos.
It was a memory card Kingston 64gb Class10 U-1
When revising the captured photos, those that did not like are removed immediately, in general, click the delete button and see no response, I pushed again and then noticed that since double clicked to remove Vesta with bad photos removed a very important video.Daby on arrival to try to recover through Handy Racovery remote video had to buy another card just a class above Kingston 64gb Class10 U-3.Vstavil and began to use (as an internal drive) But on arrival home insert the memory card into the card reader and found that the files can not see .... even I tried to re-insert the old card and go to custom rekaveri TWRP, did not help either, with strange names of folders and files they do not have ...
Ie when a new card vstvlyaesh asked to forget the memory card, and probably a new encrypt other keys ... and paste the old 58gb which is recorded and can not see it.
Maybe there kakaeto service which can be turned off anything ... If only pomoglo..Ochen important photos and videos.
Prompt please::
As with the previous card to pull photos and videos
Adopted (internal) storage is encrypted... if it's corrupt, it's gone, there is no recovery.
Just another example of why to NEVER use adopted storage, and ALWAYS use Google Photo to maintain online backups.
