HEllo there,
I need to buy a new miniSD card for my P3600.
Therefore, I would like to know the bandwidth of the card reader of P3600, in order to choose wisely the best card for it.
If the badwidth is only 5MB/s, then it's not worthy to buy a card which is 80x...
Another question is: will I loose performance if I decide to go for a 4GB card?...I have this doubt because the bigger the card, bigger the mapping of it ...Therefore, more processing power is necessary...
I think is very usefull information for anybody that needs to buy a card for this device...and for that, all help would be much appreciated
Thank you
Probably you have heard all those SD file corruption stories, haven't you?
Nowadays memory cards are real damn cheap - even if it's 80x. But I guess you would want to find the most "compatible" card instead of finding the card with "just right speed".
It's almost for sure that the life span of your card will far exceed your device. The card can be reused - why not buy a better one, stability issues aside.
4GB cards usually come in the SDHC flavors - which doesn't always work as expected since Trinity only comes with partial SDHC support at best, not to mention the corruption bug.... Again you should worry more about compatibility than it's speed...
the program pocket mechanics let you benchmark and compare with other brands in other phones
with normal sd the pda is the bottleneck suspect the same goes for microSD
but read and write is never at the same speed for flash
and suspect the interface in the pda is able to write as fast as it can read of the card can keep up

I don't remember of asking anything regarding compatibility...
My question was regarding the speed...and it still remains:
-Whats the speed of Trinity card reader bus?
-Will I loose performance with a 4GB card?
I already know about the compatibility issues...but if there's no performance issues with a 4GB card, I can buy one of each brand, and see which one is compatible...if any...
I don't think that my questions are stupid, but if you think so, then keeps the thoughts for yourself please.

I don't remember anyone ever said your questions are stupid, but if you think so, then read the whole thread again. Really, that would a disaster if we all follow your logic - anyone who did not reply or did not exactly reply what you ask for would think that your questions are stupid, then basically everyone in this forum would fall into this category.
We are trying to be nice in replying your question, knowing that you are relatively new to the forum, and pointing to you there might be potential problems that you want to avoid when making a purchase decision. At least, I think this is even a more valuable advice for those who want to buy new cards especially for beginners, than just considering alone the speed.

So now, we all know that you are not stupid nor asking stupid questions, then how about if you buy one of each speed, and do a benchmark yourself and then post the results back and share your precious experience with all others? It would be invaluable to your fellow readers especially for those who want to buy a new card.

Answer my question, and who knows, I'll do it
Sorry about my rude answer...but it pisses me off, when a threads starts talking about oranges and finishes up talking about apples....
Any way...it seems like we are always changing roms, searching for the best performance, but at the end, we don't know the speed of the biggest bottleneck in the pda...
It's August...seems like all experts are in holidays
Anyone here that could give additional info?
Just wondering, once we get these options, will anyone use them?
Coming from a G1, I knew swap and apps2sd were definitely needed.
But seeing as we have 768 MB of RAM, 1.2GB of data.
Since internal memory is faster than micro sd cards, would we use apps2sd?
If anything, could we just use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874 that mod?
Since we have so much RAM, would swap/compcache be necessary ?
Just a few questions, thanks for your replies and thoughts. :]
I don't really see the need for them, this phone is flying.
Bet money we will not even see those coming. Ablsolutely no point with native apps on sd card and that much ram.
Please post questions in Q&A section.
So what's the deal if I have a 16 gyg phone and my storage says total space= 9.62gyg.....is it bloatware? that's a lot of bloatware, dont you think? WTF!!!
Any help is appreciated, I want at least another 4 gygs back!!!!!!!!! this is BS, pure and stinky BS!!! X-(
Thanks in advance

And Yes, it does suck.
Here is a good place to start...

But there is a whole bunch of more on this issue throughout the forum. Good luck.
Oh, and you posted this question in the wrong forum. (fixed)
Here we go again...

Switch to AT&T and purchased a 32 gigabyte model and you shouldn't have a problem anymore. That's why there was so much heat on samsung for not releasing the other models with more internal space. However, I was speaking with AT&T rep and he told me that sales for the 32 gig models was extremely low and they never ran out of stock so I don't know if people are really that annoyed with the limited internal space because after all that pressure on Samsung they finally released a model with more internal space and people aren't buying it so maybe Samsung was right all along to not release anything but the 16 gigabyte model.
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 32 GB Model
I am upgrading my phone to the S4 today or tomorrow. When I was at the Sprint store checking it out, the guy I was working with said he was disappointed that one whole GB of the 2 GB of RAM on the S4 is completely allocated to the OS of the phone. 1 GB of RAM really?
I'm having a hard time believing that, I've searched for some articles and haven't found anything. Anyone care to shed some light on it?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all, as the title says, I'm asking: What's the overall available memory on the 32GB version? I had the 16GB version, but somebody stole me this device the third day, what I have it... Although I have this device few time, I was surprised and I love this device. The only bad thing was free memory, it wasn't enough for me... Now is the time to buy a new smartphone and I've got 2 candidates. This device and Note 3. I afraid too large display and burn in problem with amoled displays, so I rather want LG G2. But I afraid few available memory, so that's the reason why I'm asking for it. I wasn't able to find out it on Google, so please don't answer me: Use Google...
Thanks in advance,
Dominik
