Recommended 32g Class 10 MicroSD Card: Patriot from Amazon (quicksite)

THIS IS TRUE: There is no such thing as a TRUSTED EBAY SELLER for a 32g Class 10 Card, that is the end of the story.

Now read on if you want to buy something reliable and not get scammed and waste all your time shaving every single dollar, wasting the high-end features of your phone. What you could save by a less extravagant case or dock, if applied to a quality card, is the smartest thing you could do to get the performance value out of your phone, vs just point to your phone and say "mine theoretically can record HD video for 30 minutes without a glitch". I've been at XDA since 2005, and a member since 2007, am on my 3rd Android phone. I just posted this reply to someone in the DESIRE section. Figured I'd repeat it here. If it helps one person it's worth it. (P.S. THE PHOTOS are from the actual 32g Class 10 MicroSD card in my phone)

REVIEW from a Sprint EVO Owner -- cousin to the HTC Desire: (DATED SEPT 4, 2011)

http://www.amazon.com/review/R2H7VSTL8592ED

You can navigate through all the reviews. You will get some people say it never worked for them, for most it does. For me, I have been at XDA for 6 years, 2 as a lurker before joining in 2007 using WindowsMobile. I am on my 3rd HTC Android phone; I no longer have my DESIRE. I have had the myTouch4G (aka HTC Glacier) since March this year, and I got this PATRIOT 32g CLASS 10 card for this phone and it has worked flawlessly.

NOW, SOME MORE DETAIL: COMMENTS ON CHEAPASS FAKE MICRO SD CARDS

and how they waste you time, money, enjoyment of your high end phone.

Hello, I made many bad microUSB purchases in the past. Earlier, when we were all dealing with Class 2 and Class 4 read/write speeds several years ago, it was actually very hard to go wrong on ebay with the cheap Chinese made brands, even the knockoffs of legit brands like Kingston. Because the margins for error were far less.

But I will tell you *I* got burned not once, but multiple times on ebay trying various 32g class 10 cards -- all because I wanted to save some dollars -- AND because they were brand new, and very few people had reliable reports of what worked and what didn't.

One thing is for sure in my earlier post above -- it was a FAKE, and it was ****, and it was NEVER class 10 to begin with, despite all the photos and claims on ebay. I spent many hours not just with ebay claims, but moreso with Paypal claims, who are FAR MORE AGGRESSIVE in going after fake flash sellers than ebay ever will be. And when you get up to the supervisory level, if you establish a good rapport and are being straight forward, and return all merchandise, they are quite informative. They flat out say; They STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST BUYING ANY CHINESE IMPORTED MICROsd cards on ebay, PERIOD. The return rate is astronomically high. The scam rate is huge. And I disovered that for me that was the LAST TIME I ever went that route. I advise the same for all of you. ...

Sure it's true, once in a blue moon you may luck out and score a great reliable microSD card at those unbeatable, unbelievable prices. And if you can PROVE they are actually CLASS 10, be my guest and USE them and be happy you were lucky.

But for every else, look, we pay a premium for HIGH-END PHONES because we want all these great features with video and streaming movies and HD recording and all of these other high-end features --- then, when we buy ****TY-ASS cheap, bottom-of-the-barrell microSD cards, it's really stupid when you think about it, like shooting yourself in the foot, and crippling the very performance you paid so dearly for. Kind of like you go buy a high end Home Movie Theatre System with Certified THX Surround Sound, and then wire them to the amplifier with the ****tiest thinnest old used speaker wire some school threw out in their dumpster that used to connect their public address system.

It's just not where to skimp.

All of that said, I found a card about 6 months ago on AMAZON.com -- far more reliable than ANY ebay seller for this kind of item: The Patriot card I recommend above. ... Will it work for you? I don't know. I am out of the loop from shopping closely but there sure seemed to be a lot of talk about suitability PHONE MODEL by PHONE MODEL for any given chipset -- and that's with RELIABLE cards, not the scammer junk which will NEVER work and will just report as 0gb.

That's the other reason to buy from Amazon. You can get your money back if it doesn't work, without all the filing claim and Resolution Center nonsense which is RIGGED at ebay to favor scammers -- but which DOES work at PayPal.

LAST NOTE, off topic: *IF YOU EVER, EVER have a dispute over merchandise with an ebay seller, and you used PAYPAL as method of payment, NEVER NEVER NEVER even open a dispute at EBAY. Don't do it. Go right to Paypal.com and open a dispute THAT way. There actually IS a difference I found out the hard way, and it's all the difference in the world. While it is TRUE that EBAY owns PAYPAL, they operate as separate companies, are in physically different locations, with entirely different staff.

Paypal's Tolerance for FAKE FLASH is zero.

Their tolerance for other abuse is close to zero. But EBAY has a vested interest in allowing their SCAM sellers to keep selling their scam goods, even though they "claim" they want to shut them down. They almost NEVER shut these people down. Even after these claims are resolved with proven faked goods. EBAY operates so unethically that they give far too much credence to these cretins who sell FAKE STUFF on ebay because ebay really doesn't care as long as they are pulling in their commissions from these sales. And they know the reality. MOST PEOPLE WILL WALK AWAY FROM THESE DISPUTES, worn down, angry, despising the seller -- yet they will go on continuing to use ebay as a shopping venue.

PAYPAL actually wants to NAB the fake sellers. There is a true operational difference. It's unspoken but I pretty much got that admission.

HERE'S THE THING TO REMEMBER: For any given ebay transaction, there can be ONLY ONE DISPUTE ARBITER.... I found THIS out the hard way too when I tried opening a dispute first with ebay and then another with PayPal. Thankfully by speaking to PAYPAL --- AND YOU CAN SPEAK TO THEM ON THE PHONE, vs the closed system of EBAY where you know you're just getting bull**** running thru the resolution steps --- they CLOSED my ebay dispute manually so the Paypal dispute would become the official dispute resolution.

Sellers are not used to the PAYPAL Dispute Resolution. They are used to the BULL**** facade system of EBAY, where they can keep selling fake merchandise by just playing dumb and saying "I'm sorry, let me send you a new one". Paypal doesn't tolerate any bull**** answers. And with Paypal they have you return the fake flash to THEM, not to the seller, and then they DESTOY IT, so that the scammers are not able to do what EBAY lets them do, which is just keep reselling the returned BAD FLASH... which they repackage and just sell again on ebay.

Hope this has been more than a wall of words. Hope someone read it and it helps someone in the future. That's what XDA has always been about :)
