I use Kinstom 32GB class10 early. But when I take photo, some photo maybe have error.
After that I check for internet about it. Someone said that maybe Kinstom's problem. It's not stable.
Now I use the Sandisk 32GB class4.
Maybe defy not support class10.
or that's Kinstom's problem. I don't know.

I bought a Team 16Gb Class 10 micro SD and it freeze my Defy, but I read that all Smartphone have trouble with class 10 cards (maemo and WP7 too).
It's something related to voltage (if you use setsvel to undervolt) and with partition (you need format the card with 32k or 64k)
I think Class 4-6 will be enough, until the Android Kernel will support class10.

Did you mean SD Class?
Just look at the card, it has either a 2 or a 4 or a 6 in a circle stamped on it. Thats the class. The class = the number of MB/S it can transfer.

No. Class=speed only. He said the partition have 32K 64K.....I think that is not Class. Because the class can't change when you format the sd card.

Using a class 4 32 GB Kingston since a few days, working nicely. Got 5.5 MB/s write, 12 MB/s read. Thanks for the info, I was going to buy a more expensive (and I though, more future proof and safer) class 10 one, before I read about the compatibility problems with class 10 here.

If you want to find out what partition your card is just plug it into your computer then mount as SD storage. Right click on the card from "computer" and select format. The default settings your card is set at will be shown. You can change it to other sizes, and formats (like FAT, NTFS, but FAT32 should be default and used for phones). I recently formatted my Samsung 8GB class 6 at 4069, and no issues so far. Don't worry it won't format unless you select to format, so you can do this just to check.
Hi there, because of this thread i bought a class 6 16GB Trancend SD card. Formatted it with 64kb clusters now have 11,2 Write and 21,9 Read speed (in SD tools).
Thx you all for the advice not to buy a class 10!

I have a PNY Class 6 8GB MicroSD for my phone. I was wondering what are the benefits of a2sd, and what are the benefits of a class 6 SD rather than a lower number? I don't currently use a2sd, and wondering if i should.
lower number is slower. iirc, the Hero supports speeds up to class 6, which is faster then the phones ROM

Ok, that makes sense, but why should I use a2sd? How is it better than storing them on internal memory?
if its a class 6 it will load faster.

Ability to have more apps installed, as well as not having to wipe all the applications when you flash a new ROM (although some require you to wipe the ext partition, the ROM chef will tell you if you need to wipe the ext parition (where your apps are stored).
I didn't think I would ever need A2SD until I got to my limit.
I have not noticed a drop in performance opening apps with A2SD on my class 6 card, if there is, its milliseconds.

A2SD moves all of your installed apps to the SD card. If you have a class 6 card, which have a faster read and write speed than the internal memory in the phone, it makes everything run a lot faster since it doesn't have to run everything from the phone.
sorry to get off topic a bit, but ive been looking for a good class 6 card. the only brand i have seen is a-data i believe for about 20 dollars. im not really looking for something that has a large capacity. in your opinion, which one is better as far as brand? and how much did you pay for your card?
One thing to remember though is that class 6 just means it is certified/guaranteed to transfer at 6MB/sec or faster. A class 2 card can still be as fast or faster than a class 6 and there are some out there that do just this.

I wouldn't... every A-Data sdcard I've ever bought has developed bad sectors almost immediately.
Sandisk is the standard, but a class 6 SanDisk is hard to find. The last few I bought were Transcend.
How do you tell what class your card is?

It's on the card itself. It's the letter C with a number inside it. That number is the class number.

thats what ive always been looking for, but as you said its hard to find. if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for your card and what size is it? also, thanks for the heads up on the a-data card.
I read a review not long ago about sandisk class 2 cards. the tests they ran on them showed they were the equivalent to 10 mb/s. of course you would have to get the right batch number. does anyone know a site that tracks this kind of info?

Depends on how you use a2sd.
If you move dalvik-cache to it as well as your apps it'll be a lot.
But the total amount depends on the number and size of the apps you have installed. I'm sitting with 126/160mb free on Internal Storage.

i was thinking about buying a class 4 16 gb Sd card.. will this help at all i am not running app2sd..so will the sd card make any difference??
Will it make my screen run smoother and fast on Damage Control 2.8??

If you're not using a2sd it probably won't make much difference either way. If you're thinking of running a2sd later spend the extra 10.00 and get the class 6. regardless of the people talking about their high speed class 2 cards, you'd have to be fairly lucky to get those speeds (as someone else noted, depends on the batch of cards) with class 2, or 4.
an also if i run app2sd if i pull out my memory card at anytime will it mess up my phone??
and i have the 1st class right now so upgrading will make no difference when downloading apps to my phone or anything like that??
Hi guys i have been using
FroyoStone Sense - V2 for couple of days now and with basic winmo install, so far I love it.
Although it seems to slow down when more stuff is opened also when using Astro for file explorer.
Since this android build is all running from the SD card are there better cards like faster ones? I'm using the original 16g that came with my T-mobile phone. Is that the fastest i can have for that phone?

16gb sandisk C2.
Ok but now I need to transfer my android and all the stuff to the new sd
should I just copy over all the folders and thats all?

Hello everyone,
This is my very first post. Sorry if its redundant one. But i couldnt find any thread with this specific problem.
Here is the thing, i bought HTC legend just 2 weeks ago. I have unrooted legend with Froyo 2.2 vodafone update. Yesterday i bought Kingston 8GB class 4 microSDHC card. I placed it in my legend. It detects it no problem formatted it. But it seems whenever any application tried to write to sd card. I get the message "SD card unexpectedly removed".
I have tried formatting card with Panasonic sd card formatter . Tried formating it under windows. The card works fine on PC read/write. But for some odd reason phone can only read from it
Also stock 2gb card is working like a charm in phone.
Please Help!
Try with some other brand
Usually Kingston has lot of duplicates especially in India

Yes i did consider that possibility. But the thing is card is working perfectly fine in pc. I have 3MB/s write speed when i copy things into card using pc. So if card was not original it shouldn't work even under windows. It just doesnt work with legend.
If i shall not find a suitable solution here. I will be left with no choice but to spend more money. Try ScanDisk.
Anyone??? I dont want to end up buying another card just to find out it doesnt work either.
man i have the same issue using kinsgton 8gb microsd hc, for example i do some photos, and on the 5th one, it says unaable to save file do unsuitable permissions or smth like that...it also mixes my music in a way i cannot imagine ! ahah, it puts like..5 songs into 1 without any pause ...dont know. the stock one is perfect, but i just guess theres problem with the company..they might be fake.

5MB/s minimum. If class 5 existed
Here is the definition of the class for sdcards :
Class 2 : 2 MB/s minimum write speed
Class 4 : 4 MB/s minimum write speed
Class 6 : 6 MB/s minimum write speed
Class 10 : 10 MB/s minimum write speed
However, certains class 6 are less performant than certain class 2, so try to choose your new card wisely.

work fine on PC with low read/write rate and my HTC legend rejecting it sometimes saying i don't have permission over my SD
anyways, this was due to corrupted SD card. I replaced it and everything works fine now

some time after this notify msg my phone reboot ifself
Hi all.
I know there are number of posts in forum about sd card speeds and preferences. But everyone says different from the other about exact performance. Both sd and nand android versions need a fast sd card to work smoother. That makes me want to change my 8gb Class2 sdhc with 8gb Class10 sdhc one --> http://www.e-piix.com/memory-cards/team-micro-sdhc-class-10-8gb.html
Write speed with class2 card is 3,5-4 mb/s and read is about 14,5-15 (Tested using sd tools, on hyperdroid cm7 nand rom). Will a class10 sdhc improve my smoothness or make me experience a faster android? Anyone has experience with a class10 card? Or any ideas?

Agreed, stick with Sandisk. My Kingston 16GB class 4 is cheaper than a Sandisk but apparently is not read by MAGLDR for SD Android, so I can't boot more than NAND Android. I think that all Sandisk cards are supported.

IMO difference between Class 4 and 6 is minimal. A REAL Class 10 at 16 GB may be a better deal.

From what I've read class 4/6 performs somewhat better in general use of the phone except obviously moving large files to the sdcard such as ROMs, and using the video camera to write large files for general use I've read that class 4/6 are somewhat better.
I'm currently using Kingston C10 32gb without problems.
