[Q] Quality 16GB microSD? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm considering buying this sandisk one but I'm looking for opinions from fellow Nook users.

Sandisk is pretty much as high of quality as you are going to get.

I never trust those individual sellers, even though fulfilled by Amazon.
Keep your fingers crossed.

one day only!
Nice find!
Did anyone get one of theses? I want to buy one to throw music and movies on just want to make sure it will be ok and cause no stuttering. I believe the class 4 only means the transfer rate.
Already bought 5 of them

Class 4 does indeed identify the transfer rate. In this case 4mb/sec. Normally phones come with Class 2's... So this is twice as fast in theory. Really good buy imo... tempted to jump on it

highly doubt newegg would be selling fakes. they are a very reputable site.
Newegg is not selling this card but it's 1SaleDay .. third party.
Bought one a couple weeks ago, still awaiting it's arrival though.
Too bad they do not ship to Canada through Newegg I will try the third party directly.
1saleaday is pretty reputable. I know they found out they were selling a counterfeit version of an item months ago, and immediately said that they'd refund everyone's money. Shipping is slow as all hell (ordered the 23rd, expecting delivery the 10th) but I trust the company.

I avoided it because the actual company selling it had some serious bad reviews... anyone who got one let us know how it all turns out.
Swyped from a Galaxy (tab) far, far away...

Are there any specific issues with Best Buy specific Transformers?

I am looking into purchasing a used Transformer locally and have read in various places on this board about some people not wanting a Best Buy transformer. Is there a specific reason for this?
Thanks
They are exactly the same. I have both.
The bestbuy blackfriday one has an X1 appendage on the model. But I believe that was just to keep track of sale pricing versus full retail pricing.

The rumors of Best Buy's Transformers have been greatly exaggerated. They were re-serialed, not re-designed.

Glad someone posted this, I had one of the first batches of the Transformer when it came out from Frys. I picked up that black Friday deal from Best buy with the different UPC, and immediately the screen colors looked different. The BB unit was duller and the backlight was not as white until I bumped it up to full brightness.
I got rid of my original transformer cuz of light bleeding so I can't provide any picture comparisons.
Sent from Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
Some people were worried about buying later serial numbers because they would be able to root them. At one point people were reporting that Best buy a large stock of newer serial numbers. People were still picking up older serial numbers off of Amazon, Wal-Mart.com, & Frys. It came down to people wanting to root their Transformers. Best buys Transformers are no different than any other merchants.

Sandisk 16GB class 10 microSD deal

It is today's deal on Laalo. This is something that we can all use, well except for us HOX users.
What does laalo charge for shipping? $5? If so then now that great of a deal IMO.
Not sure because as I stated, I have a HOX so no sd card for me.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
$4.99 shipping.
I think I'm going to buy one myself. It's only 16GB but for that price, it's a good deal for a temp card.
EDIT- I looked them up elsewhere. You only saving like $5, so, it's not as good of a deal as I thought. It's $16.94 shipped, you can buy a 32GB one for $22 on Amazon.

TF300T $279.99 at Best Buy this Black Friday

Is this tab a good deal for $279? Its the 16gb version norm price is $379. I just wanna make sure everything works well. Any problems with this tab? I have the Lenovo Ideapad K1 and the biggest problem I have with it, is its has horrible WiFi signal and I haven't seen any WiFi issues with this tab. But I did notice that this tab doesn't have gorilla glass. So I also want to make sure the glass doesn't get to scratched easily and that its sensitive enough.
Thanks, Dev

Good luck actually getting one, but I think it sounds like a good deal. Remember this does have expandable memory, so really internal storage isn't a huge problem. I had the transformer prime for a while, loved it, but couldn't justify the expense so I returned it. This thing is the exact same device with a plastic back and slightly lower res screen If this sale is going on cyber Monday too I'm certainly snagging one.

It sounds like a good deal to me. I'd run with it. I have the 32 GB version, with another 32 GB micro SD card. I paid $297 for mine on the no tax weekend at Micro Center in St. Louis. These were on clearance. I've had 4 tablets already, the Acer Iconia 500, the iPad 2, the Galaxy Tab 2, and this one. I've enjoyed this one more than all the others.
Today, a boss of mine, that I see once a year, came in, and noticed he had an iPad with him. I really wanted to say to him, "So, you got a pretentious hunk of junk, huh?" But I figured that would hurt his feelings.

You can get the 32Gb version at Walmart for 319. You can't walk in the store and get it for that though. You have to pay for it online and then go get it. I just did that.

Same here...sure would like the link so could pick it up at Bestbuy and not hassle with Black Friday crowds! Like the $299 OfficeDepot price for the 32GB but w/sd card don't think I need the add'l 16GB. Other than production apps that can't use SD storage, any major benefit for getting the 32Gb model?
Also (and new thread likely best, but...) this'll be my first tablet. Mostly for multimedia, browsing, e-books, & general game playing - considering Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 too. Though Galaxy might(?) have a better multimedia experience (not so much into the Galaxy's "extra" GUI), but TF300T seems to have better multimedia & overall performance. Am I losing much if any on graphics & sound in going for the better performance? Sorry, I know it's been discussed some elsewhere, but need some additional thoughts to help me know I'm not making the wrong choice!

My advice is to make sure you can return it just in case you're not happy with it. I/O issue plagues most of current Asus pads so in the end, lower price may not justify the frustration. Again you might be ok with it but just in case.

Good point - just checked with Office Depot and they do give 14 days to return it for a full refund. So that shouldn't be a problem...
As for the I/O issue, how prevalent is it? I did a quick search and did find some references. This has me greatly concerned and if it's that big problem of a problem, then about only alternative is the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. But being a dual core, was worried it'd be noticeably slow in running apps, browsing/viewing multimedia, etc. Did like some aspects of the Galaxy, but was really leaning towards the TF300T.
Just came across one XDA thread from August discussing ASUS working on fixing this and the OTA 4.0.4 greatly helped the benchmarks. Is it possible a new kernel or update has corrected the issues at this point? Another in September mentioned using a custom ROM...I plan on rooting it, though just as with my EVO3D thought I'd stay with the stock rooted ROM. I'd figure this an option to help correct the problem if I do encounter it (and if necessary, run a different ROM)?
Lastly, how difficult is it to root?
Thanks much for the insights!!
Can you get the Black version only at BB? I would love to get that one but online for $279..

I noticed on the Office Depot Black Friday ad that they have the TF300T 32Gb for $299.99 (advertised as blue so may not be the black you want). Some items are available for sale online tomorrow - Update: turns out have to go to the store on Friday morning to get this deal. I know it's an extra $20 and quite possibly blue, but still a good deal...
And yes, after reading more I feel less wary of the i/o issue. Some had encountered it, others not and seemed that OTA updates (possibly moving from ICS to Jelly Bean) helped. Plus rooting and running a custom ROM is another option or worst case, bring it back...
Looks like another round of learning regarding unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Was reading a bit about being able to do OTA updates if rooted (but not unlocked), and restoring root after. Seems to me on my EVO3D doing OTA's after unlocking & rooting weren't recommended, and that may be the case here too? I do have to go back and do more reading on these topics!

Worth buying the phone?

Hey
Here in Sweden, the nexus 4 costs around 650 U.S. dollars. I can't get it cheaper from here. The question is, is the phone worth buying for 650 dollars? I really love the phone, but the phone's battery/camera maybe doesn't match the price?
Thx
I bought mine off of eBay for $540 tho, but I sold my s2 for $430.
What phone you currently own?
I bought mine fort 522 (€395) dollars in Germany. It is a great iPhone that will need a charge at night though. It is superfast, camera is good but nog terrific. Bur overall it is worth the money imo. Smooth, fast and first tot get updates and off course no bloatware.

YOLO.
@OP: its your money. spend it the way you want. coming to this forum, most of the people will say yes because we're biased, id even say it myself personally because I prefer nexus devices over anything else.
read reviews, watch videos, read forum posts and judge for yourself. good luck.
Yeah, it's same here at Finland. Lowest I can find it is over $660 USD (€500), but usually from trusted shops, it's more like $740 USD (€560).
I hope that UK/Germany-based web stores can get it soon to stock, I'm not going to pay over €450 for it, it's not worth it if you ask me..
If someone could recommend good shops from European union, I'd be glad to hear them

Read a review. I'm not here to advertise a phone whether you should buy it or not or say things so you walk away from buying a N4. It's up to you.
Most people here will beg you to buy it, but I'm a honest person. If you want the phone, just buy it.
http://androidandme.com/2012/11/smartphones-2/nexus-4-review-roundup/ provides a good overview of N4 reviews.

I'll get a Note II or HTC One X+ if it costs around the same. While Nexus 4 is a great device, the most compelling reason (for me, at least) to buy it is the $350 price point from Play Store. At $650 there are many other options that you can consider, and the Nexus 4 only make sense if you really really want stock and want to get the next Android version the day it is available.
Thanks everyone for the replies, i think im going to buy it.

Well, I'd like to have the best smartphone there is. HTC One X+ is great, but Nexus 4 is better, it has 1GB more RAM etc.
Nexus 4 happens to be the best phone on market at the moment, which is fairly well available. Xiaomi Mi-2 isn't available, I would buy it if it was.
That's why I've decided to buy N4, but I have no idea where to get it, without paying something like $650 dollars, which isn't fair price.

If the note 2 is the same price, then it's not worth getting the nexus 4. Like many other people mentioned it's only worth it when it's priced at $349 dollars. But, I think you already made up your mind....

I beg to differ. It's one of the highest spec phones out there and has proper Google support. It is a Nexus device and will be supported longer than most of other Android devices, it also gets updates directly from Google quickly as well as getting good developer support (less buggy ROM day one).
Galaxy Note's S Pen is also closed source and can't be used on AOSP I believe as it is attached to TouchWiz. I can be wrong on this.
Hell yea get this phone...do what you have to do and get it lol....buy it...trade for it...just make it happen lol...best phone out!!!!!!
