Do you use 32 GB micro SD card? - Galaxy Tab General

For those who use the 32 GB card for either your T-mobile or ATT tab, do you like it? Are there any issues with the card?
Where did you buy the card? Can you provide the link?
Thanks.

Yeah, I bought the cheapest one on Amazon... no problems.. But if it's stuffed mediascanner takes a while to run through http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0042AJYOC/ref=oss_product

Just curious, is there any battery drain issue, since it is accessing a massive 32GB media

no issues yet Mediascanner will probably drain a little more battery if there's more media to scan

A possibly stupid question:
If you're upgrading from 16gb to 32gb, is there a way to copy over your licenses and have them work?

Sure, just copy all the files and folders off it to your HD and back to the new one. Shouldn't be any hidden files or anything.

Memory card

Can any X1 user help me out, here?
My X1 should arrive tomorrow, and as far as i am aware, here in the UK we are not getting a memory card in the box.
So, Am i looking to buy a simple Micro SD card, or does this device support Micro SD HC?
Thanks for any useful answers. I just dont want to have to go and exchange after buying.

It supports microSDHC up to 32GB (when it's released).
yup, I'm using a 16gb micro SDHC card (can't wait for the 32gb to become available!)
I bought an 8gb SanDisk Micro SDHC card on Amazon for £14 and it works great in the X1
Thanks, peeps. I was thinking about getting 2 8Gb cards, so i'll probably check out Amazon, amongst others.
I find 2 cards better than just 1 for my own needs. Thats kinda why i needed confirmation of HC support.
Thanx again, and stay happy, all.

For me its kinda easy to lose those small cards. I have one in my phone and one in my laptop for ready boost and I always seem to forget there is a 4gig in my laptop.

It says that X1 supports microsdhc in the whitepaper. And I can also confirm that Sandisk 16Gb microsdhc works well in my X1.

Micro SDHC Class 2 or 6 ?
Hi,
AFAIK the 16 GB Micro SDHC are currently only available with Class 2 speed.
Is this sufficient for the X1 ?
Or is there any advantage using a Class 6 Micro SDHC ?
AFAIK these are currently only available upto 8 GB like the SanDisk Mobile Ultra series.
Any recommendations?
Thanks you.
Regards,
Andreas

Sandisk HC 16 gig Micro SD:

Recently bought one off of eBay for $40 (+ $9 3-day USPS shipping) and it works as good as gold in my HTC Touch Pro. It was listed as "bulk" and did not come in the official Sandisk blister pack; therefore, this could possibly be gray-market hardware, but it works as listed none the less.
Perfect amount of space for my GPS software and my music/talk-radio.
I have had it for about 5 days now and have had zero compatibility or usage issues.
Cheers!

Haha, he said possibly... I'm pretty sure that MicroSD card you just bought was not manufactured by Sandisk. Good to hear that it's working okay though.
Ya, well I bought a 16GB MicroSD card and it has been working FLAWLESSLY...until tonight. I was re-installing a ROM and re-installing TT7...when the install hung...told me it couldn't install...then the card just died. Hopefully SanDisk will RMA it...

Well, most suggest that you remove the SD card prior to installation of a new ROM. I am using my card with Elite RC2 Rom, but have not tried leaving it in while installing a new ROM.
At this point, I have purchased 3 Sandisk Micro SD cards (2 4 gig HC's, and 1 8 gig HC) over the past 1.5-2 years off of eBay and haven't had a single one of them fail... none of them came in Sandisk blister packs.
Time will tell...

@DeniaL
Did you try and reformat it? It might just be a bad sector.
can someone find me a good deal on a 16 gb they are all like around 55.00

Im sure you could find one cheaper, but I am willing to bet is bootleg. Anyway the 55.00 ballpark is not that bad. Or you can wait till the 32gb releases. That will drop the price of the 16 big time.
Gotta link?????

Pretty cheap now. However, I have heard that class 6 speed with 16GB+ size cards can be unreliable....anyone know if there's any truth in this?

So is the SanDisk 16GB Class 2 card good? Mainly the class 2 part. Will it be much slower than my current class 4 8GB card?
I just got my Sandisk 16gb card. It was Sandisk branded in a Sandisk blister pack. It works, but so far I'm having intermittent problems with my MP3 files pausing and starting again. Sometimes worse than others. It happens with Kinoma, Coreplayer, Windows Media Player and the Sprint Music player. Are there any ways of minimizing this?

It will not be much slower (could even be faster). Check this thread, where someone posted his c4 8GB card benchmark, which was lower than my numbers posted at the end.

Try reformatting, and apply this patch as well. I got a bulk package from ebay, and I haven't had a single problem so far (more than 2 weeks).
Thanks so much! It seems to be performing much better. I will have to test it more over the next few days........
I just ordered and received this one:

What is the largest capacity the HTC Touch Pro can handle? I thought it was only a 8GB?

[Q] 32GB Cards...possible or possible soon?

Hi Everyone,
I have read the extensive thread on compatible SD cards, but just wanted to open another thread asking if there are any known 32GB cards working with this phone or if you guys have heard of any officially certified 32GB cards coming soon. I am DESPERATE to have more storage on my phone, but will not buy a card unless I know it is working for sure and want to go for the 32 as soon as possible. Thanks!
Well I can only speak on my personal experience but I've been using a Kingston Class4 32GB card since November 8th and have never had any issues. And I'm sitting at around 12GB of usage (music, videos, etc).
I'm not saying this is gauranteed to work - just relaying what my personal experience has been.
Use at your own risk...
My Kingston 32GB C4 card lagged really bad once I got over 10GB. There are so many conflicting reports like this. Using any card is a bit of a gamble at this stage.

Kingston Class 4 - Working Great Here
I also have had a 32GB Kingston Class 4 card in my Focus and have been using it since November 8th. I have had no problems at all.
Total Storage 37.07 GB
Available Storage 22.20 GB
So I am using 15GB of my storage for music and such and have had no problems whatsoever.

I'd be curious to see what happens when you get over 16GB. It seems like 8GB cards are okay; maybe there's something that freaks out when you use more external storage than internal.
I also would be interested in what happens once you fill it past 16GB. Would one of you be willing to give it a shot for us? Thanks for the replies everyone!
I have a 16GB Scandisc card of clas 2, I put that in and reastarted the phone. Nothing happened.....is that how you know if it is working or not???
Thanks
i would like to try this one but the price is a little too steep right now and it wouldn't be good if it didn't work.... paid less for the focus itself. http://lexar.com/products/lexar-high-speed-microsdhc-card-performance-kit?category=90

Go to Settings -> About and it will tell you how much storage you have. If it still says 8GB, then you still need to format the phone.

I recieved that card from Amazon early this week but so far all I've done is benchmark it. The card is pretty impressive with sequential and random read-rates but its write speeds are about the same as the Sandisk Class 2 I currently have in my Focus. Right now I'm waffling on wether to go through the process of swapping the cards and reinstalling everything or waiting until the NoDo update comes out. If I do make the swap I'll probably post on the working sd cards thread

ZDNet Article Claims Lockups and Wi-Fi Issues Related to Bad SD Cards?

This morning an article in ZDNet claims that the writer himself was able to fix these issues by swapping out the stock SDCard on the DVP. Has anyone who has had these issues fixed their problem by doing just this? I myself am a little skeptical myself, but am wondering if this is even a possible reason for all of our problems.
Article is here: http://t.co/38b4FiY
Who knows, some of the guys who got the earliest DVP's bought from MS stores on Nov 8 tried swapping the card, results were hit and miss for compatibility. Some Samsung Focus owners have no problems with their cards, some do. No guarantee the card you use wont give problems. I'd like to see if Dell truly has a fix for the freezing issue, whatever it may be and then look further into this claim.

I find it hard to believe, but I have not seen anyone say it has not worked for them. I swapped my 16g card for a different one, no problems. A friend of mine did the same with a 32g card, same thing. Word is, the issue does not exist on the 8g card. Conclusions...they say none. They're smarter than me. But my phone works well. They're still looking for answers.
I swapped to an 8GB card - no problems.
I swapped to a 32GB card - more problems than before.
Swapped back to my 8GB card - no problems.
I still need to exchange the 32GB card and try a new one, maybe the DVP is just very picky about cards (including the 16GB that Dell includes).
PS: my post on how to do the card switch was mentioned in the article! I feel special.
I swapped to a previously owned 8gb... no issues.
then swapped to a newly purchased 32gb sandisk card... no issues.
getting a 32 gig class 4 microsd to try hopefully monday

Was this the Transcend card you got http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-mic...YOC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1297964644&sr=8-6? I tried a Sandisk 32GB and it still crashes with wifi but I'm thinking it may be a class 4 as its not labelled in any way, and still crashes. And how is the speed of the device with the new card?
Will be picking mine up in a few mins at the Microsoft store near my house. 8Gb. Salesman yesterday acknowledged the problems but said the newest builds run much smoother. Well see about that!

The 8GB version has not been having the stability problems that the 16GB version has. There were some other issues with the phones sold in November at the Microsoft Store WP7 launch, but those have long since been resolved.
In other words, you should be fine

Thanks, good to hear, already ordered it and will be installing it today.
Edit: well looks like I'm definitely out of luck, the Transcend card also locked up when using wifi so I'm stuffed. Now have to suffer 8 months of no wifi till I can move to a Nokia WP7.

Using 64 GB SD

Does anyone has trying to use a 64 SD in the note ? I had tried a Samsung without any luck. It can be read and also save some music and videos but after using 5 GB it start failing.
Yes
I use Samsung 64Gb MicroSD without any problem
I am using a SanDisk Extreme Plus 64gb MicroSD card in my Note Pro. Works great, no complaints.
No problems here either. Look like a bad card maybe. I would try it in a PC to see if you get the same results. If so then it's probably a bad card. There are counterfeit cards out there that also give the results you have.
I agree, a defective card. I'm using a 128 GB card bought from a chinese retailer for 30 € and no problem so far.
I use a 64gb microSD. The first one I tried only lasted a few weeks and then I started getting errors. I replaced the card and all was well for about 6 months. Then I started getting errors saying the card was corrupt whenever the battery would drop below 50% state of charge. I finally sent the tablet in for repair (under warranty). They told me there was a battery terminal connection that was broken and they also update "software". Not sure what that was since I was already on the latest update. The only thing I can figure is it was some form of firmware update. When I got it back it seemed to fine and I have not had a problem in the last few weeks since it was returned.

I can copy, paste and move to and from it. Only thing that doesn't work is renaming. Never had any errors, never had any issues with it. It's been in use since I bought it on 28th July.
