Slow writing speed on sandisk class10 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I just bought a Sandisk 16 class10 card and put it in my S4.
It didn't take the card before a boot though I am using PAC rom.
I tried SD tool app on the phone itself and gave me about 8.5mb/s
On PC I used h2testw and got a ridiculous 7.7mb/s
Now I don't what's the problem.
Should I format the card into a specific format or PAC rom is slowing the USB in a way?
I noticed USB transfer files is slower with PAC

Thats really weird... I have a Class 6 lexar 8gb micro SD card and get about 15-17MB/s and on rare occasions 10MB/s you might have a faulty SD card though because a Class 10 should get in the mid-high 20's easily

I formatted it in windows 8 as exfat, tried it again with the SD Tool app and got 22mb/s but when transferring files from PC to the phone it stays between 6 and 7mb/s.
It could be PAC rom messing with USB so I will flash TW 4.3 rom (Goldeneye) to see if it will change something.
It took me 2mins to transfer the 950mb of the rom while in the HTC One days it would have take 20sec...
Report on Echoe rom before flashing the new modem:
Using 400mb test file with H2testw Writing speed: 6.67mb/s and Reading speed : 19mb/s
Weird thing is that it starts first 4 secs with high 22mb/s then drop to 6!!
Dunno if new modem will change something

Could this card be a fake?
Looks like a Class 4 disguised in 10.
Tested speed of the card using the adapter on 2 different PCs and got 9.5mb/s.
Thanks God I have a warranty from the official Sandisk dealer,so I tell them I get between 6 to 10mb/s max while I should have the double.
I will try to format the card one last time before asking for a replacement just to double check

[Q] Need help with Micro SD

Hey guys,
I have been running Android on my HD2 for a few months now using the stock 16gb class 2 and had no real issues. I purchased a Patriot 8gb class 4 to replace the stock because I need it for another device.
I have tried formating it 32kb and 64kb, default allocation size and nothing has worked. After transfering the android files and running haret a few minutes later I get stuck on the boot screen. I tried a fresh install of various android builds and keep having the same problem.
Can someone tell me the correct way to prep this card for my HD2 to run android? Maybe a utility or something.
Link to the card's product page: http://www.patriotmem.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=4&catid=16&prodgroupid=78&id=730&type=15
Thanks
Give SD Formatter a try in quick format mode.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
It formats FAT32 with 32kb sectors, and has worked well here with multiple class and size MircoSDHC cards. That said, 16GB Sandisk cards are cheap now. Maybe consider picking up another one and ditching the Patriot, if SD Formatter does not fix it up.
Best to all,
R

I'm sorry for you... That card is a junk! I also have that one and after many hours of frustrations end up buying sandisk 8gb class 4 for $15usd.
I have done all suggested ways to prep that card. If ever you will be able to boot, expect for minutes of lags.
I would recommend what has been said before, just re-format the SD Card.

[Q] SD 2GB mem card working with android but not 16GB

Im trying to use the android running fron the SD card from another post, the android is under development still, but or some reason it only works on my 2gb mem card and not my 16gb card. is it maybe because of the format?
the 2gb came with the phone, but i formated my new 16gb on the phone but it still doesnt work.
thanks
this is all on the htc hd mini (photon) btw
You just Format your 16GB SD to FAT32, and copy the Cotulla's Android to your SD then open Explorer on your phone, and tap on HaRET.
That is it.
Of me, the Android works, but it's too slow mine, microSD 8GB
i'm using an 16 gb microsd on my mini and it runs android very well (fast) and in my opinion any 16 gb card should work since 16 gb are relatively new and faster than the smaller ones .Keep trying ,format the card on pc ,i personally formated with the phone's formating tool
damn.. one of the times i tried it did the start up video (very slowy) and then froze, now just keeps freezing on the load bar agen. i formated it using the phone formater as its the only way i can. but still bein gay.
ive got a string feeling its due to the type of memry card, as my difrent branded 2gb one works fine, but when the android is eventualy 100% done i wont be able to have it all on my 16gb

[Q]SD Card Recognition

I had HD2 with WP7 7720 4GB SD Card
Decide and bought 16 GB SD Card
Inserted it and when started phone it stucks after 1 2 3 4 5 GO GO GO
Reinstall WP7 Yuki 7720 with 16GB in
Now phone recognize 3,47 GB instead of 14.8GB
Any Fix ?
Is your sd card recognized by a computer? If so I would reformat the card.
when i bouught it i put it in a card reader
card have been already formatted but i perform format again
after i have install wp7 now windows can see it but neither opened it, neither formatted it
Try a hard reset again and see if WP7 picks up the rest of the space on the card. Of course, use the dev_storagelock cab to free up the card and see what you can do with it on your computer.
What kind of SD card are you using? WP7 is very picky.
My first card was a Kingston 4GB class 2 and it caused high battery drain.
My second card was a Kingston 16GB class 4 and it wouldn't even boot into WP7.
I'm now using a fantastic PNY 16GB class 4.
The brand/size/class of your SD card really matters.
try this
I had no proble with my Lexar 8GB Class4; then i tried my Mustang 16GB Class10 and WP7 stated that was incompatible.....
So I decided to make a try; inserted in my PC and run SDFormatter (from Panasonic) and made a full format (i.e. format full with erase ON) .
After that WP7 accepted my SD card, and apparently it is ok....hope it lasts...

Well.
Micro SD Card HC Kingston Class 4 16GB
I think the problem is in the card.
When I try to format it with PC Windows 7 I can't normally to format it to NTFS
Only FAT32. Now trying different programs to format it, but when phone starts it freezes on logo about 10-20 minutes after that starts with error for SD Card.
Last I tryed is formatting card with Nokia E52. Leo starts wp7 normal but in Settings -> About only 50 MB free storage. I will try one2one69 what said.

Hmm bro, we try formatting it on the phone but it still doesn't work. I guess only solution is to get a new class 10 card

Rubbish.
I use a class 6 card (32 GB) without any problems. Did you try any other card in her phone?
I got a class 10 Samsung 32GB card on the way.
Better work!

You may not have the same issue as I did but on my s3 it was a sign my sd card was going bad. Do you have a spare to test with? I sent two 64gb cards back before I got a good one. I keep a 32gb as a spare and test.

What kind of SD card do you have? Apparently, according to a thread here: http://www.discussny.com/technical-support/10143-samsung-galaxy-note-3-not-read-new-micro-64gb-card.html the Note 3 will not work with 64 GB SDHC cards. I know, I tried and also got the disappearing file problem. You have to use an SDXC type card.

That article Samsung is full of **** my note 3 is working fine with my 64gb card. I did have an issue early on where my media services went bananas but that worked itself out. Mine is a 64gb pny SDXC class 10.

Well I'll agree that there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding this issue. All I can say is I tried a genuine Samsung brand 64 GB SDHC Class 10 micro-SD card in my Verizon Note 3 4.4.2 NC4 and it did not work. I had the card permissions fixed so I could write on it, and I could download my entire mp3 directory from my PC (USB transfer) and see all the files on the card, but as soon as I rebooted, the directory name was still there but it was empty. Also, all the mp3 files on /mnt/extSdCard played at 10x normal speed (and I tried half a dozen different players) but if they were stored on /sdcard, they played fine (same identical files). I have a 64 GB SDXC card on order that's supposed to be here today, so I'll be interested to see if that works.
UPDATE
I just put a Kingston 64 GB Class 10 SDXC micro-SD card in the phone. It came up already formatted so I didn't do that. I applied the "enable write to external SD card" option in Wanam Xposed and rebooted, but that didn't take so I ran the SD Fix app from the app store. That worked. I've now been able to successfully download data from four different apps onto /mnt/extSdCard and they're all OK. I also downloaded my MP3's (using FE) and they play OK too. Everything is still there and working properly after a reboot.
So I guess it's true - 64 GB SDHC cards will not work in the Note 3, but SDXC will.
