Its not only about the money, if class 10 would be perfect I'd buy it, but as I read Class 6 and upwards can be slow at access: http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/5071/screenshot20110611at120.png

I guess the best choice would be 4, its got decent write speed and a decent access time.

Thanks.

I use a 32 class 10 love it!
[General Accessories] Saneless One:
Thanks for this. I have a class 10 card and this exactly explains why I have issues with apps that cache to the SD with lots of little files yet thought I didn't have speed issues since I could copy larger files to/from the card with no speed issues.

Edit: And I have the Lexar class 10 32GB card. It's garbage.
[General Accessories] CamoGeko:
Never had issues like that with my 16gb class 10, it's not even a proper branded one. Plus I've used it in several phones already, no problems with transfers or cache-ing.

[General Accessories] Lock-N-Load:
so, if I was looking for a 32gb card for the new Asus Prime and my main main #1 goal is the fast launching of apps and the apps associated data as I use the hell out of apps - and then secondary would be taking photos and video and music here or there - I would be better served by a lower class card? For just general speediest access to the card.

And of so, why would you ever get a 2 and not then just get a 4 and get a little bump over the 2?

If these are my requirements, I am not sure what 32gb class to get for this tablet as I just want basic data access and app speeds and app data speeds to be as unaffected by the card as possible if I put them on the card.

I am sure some will just say "leave all of your apps on the internal 32gb memory" which is likely a solid argument as nothing would be faster than that BUT we know apps store their data on the cards when needed so I want that apps data to be R/W as fast as possible. So then what class?
[General Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
It isn't a 100% guarantee, but the general consensus appears to be that the lower the class rating, the higher the random access speeds, which are most useful for applications and their data.

The actual class rating measures read/write times, so the higher the class number, the higher the read/write speeds. If you have 32GB of internal storage, then use that for apps, and a high class SD card for music, movies, and pictures.
[General Accessories] Tulus5:
What's the best brand of 32gb card to buy?

I only found some cheap brands on chinese sites, or some well know names, but I'm afraid it to be counterfeirt.
[General Accessories] VictoriaCoffey:
I would go for a Sony or Kingston. Or, eventually SanDisk :)
[General Accessories] dontbanmebro:
thats wuts up

Pretty much any card can be used to do the job.

Again top brands like sandisk, lexar, kingston, etc are very reliable cards, and very rare reports that they fail.

Higher the class,the lower it gets with random speeds and may be , lower performance when used in cell phones.

Hence the reccomendation to use class4 cards for large size cards like 32gb.

This might change in future when they find ways to improve the random speeds.

On the other higher class cards are good for normal data transfer like bunch of music or movies from the pc to card or vice verssa

[General Accessories] MDicnMan:
Speaking of too cheap, I wonder what experience people have with the various sellers on Amazon. I am reluctant to buy from anyone online after getting burned on a 32gb MicroSD from DailySteals. Looked good, formatted to 32 and...surprise, it has an 8gb capacity.
[General Accessories] ahfrederick:
Well from my past experience from purchasing memory online (mainly from eBay) it can be a hit or miss. Normally, if it's "too good to be true" - it usually is. But, there always good deals to be had online. I, for one was on the market to buy an Micro SDHC card and was looking online, but this past weekend I went to BestBuy (looking for something else) and ended up buying a 16GB Class 10 MicroSDHC Card (PNY) for $25 (50% off). Normally I wouldn't buy from BB since their prices are usually much higher than online stores, but this deal was too good to pass up.

All in all, my suggestion would be: Do your homework and shop various places. Some places to start would be: Newegg, MicroCenter, Geeks, CompUSA, Amazon & eBay. Hopefully that helps someone out. Good luck! :)

I ordered a 32gb from Amazon for my new Asus Tablet and I was wondering...

Do I just use it as it comes formatted?

OR

Do I format some better way for better performance first?

IF I format some better way, I have access to my Mac and my PC and of course, the tablet. Which one would I use to format and what protocol or steps to format to eek the best performance out of it?
[General Accessories] olyloh6696:
You don't need to format it, but of you want I'd use FAT32 on my Windows 7 PC

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[General Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
It should be formatted as FAT32. The higher the cluster size, the faster the data access will be, but the less actual space you will have. If you aren't sure which cluster size you want, just use the default values.
[General Accessories] Lock-N-Load:
Hey guys, yes, I know it will come formatted and ready to use :) I just wondered if there was something better to do to make it improved then just using factory formatting.

BTW, I only have XP on my Windoz machine. And suggestions on what tool to use on my PC to format and your suggestions on "cluster size" or should I just take it as sent from factory and call it fine?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] indigox3:
The infuse has 3 storage areas- external sd card, internal sd card, and internal phone storage. Is there a way to install apps to the internal sd card as the default? It always installed to the internal sd card before and now when I added an external sd card it installs to that instead. I only want apps to install to internal sd card and use the external sd card just for my stuff. Does anyone know how to default app installs to the internal sd card(not phone storage) instead of external card without taking out the external first?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skillz9669:
sorry answered wrong question, brb lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
i've always been kind of curious about this too.. because there is a 2gb partition, the 13 or so gb "internal sd" and then the external sd.

by default some apps automatically go to the external sd, but if you select to have them moved to phone under manage apps, it relocates them to the 2gb partition... so what the heck is the 13gb internal sd used for?!

i do know the camera puts photos on there, and some other apps write to the internal sd, like cwm, titanium backup, qik, and various others
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SolusCado:
I have the same problem...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skillz9669:
Well there is no option in the phone to do this but if you are rooted and go onto the market and download "terminal emulator", its free you can easily change it.

Here are the Steps:

make sure usb debugging is checked

open terminal emulator and type "su" (press enter)

now type "pm getInstallLocation" (press enter)

it should say something like [auto]

this means the system decides which is best

to change it to internal just type the following command:

pm setInstallLocation 1 (press enter)

now its set to internal,

you change it anytime by using the "pm setInstallLocation" followed by a space and choosing any of the numbers

0 - auto (default)

1 - internal

2 - external
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
now when you say internal, do you mean the 13 gb(after formatting), or the 2gb partition of the 16gb?

because when you go to manage apps and select the sd card tab at the top, then "move to phone" it puts them on the internal 2gb partition. NOT the 13gb "internal sd"

this confused me terribly when i first got the phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
Here is what I mean..see attached.

When samsung advertised "16 gb" onboard memory, what they didnt tell you is that roughly 2gb(1.85 after formatting) is partitioned as "program" and the remaining 13.03gb(of the 16gb) is labeled as "internal storage". if you tell the device to move apps to phone, it puts them under "program".. my initial concern was that eventually the 1.85gb would become full and i would then be forced to load apps to the external sd.

so how can we utilize the 13gb internal sd storage for apps? maybe i'm just over analyzing, but *throws temper tantrum* its my phone and i want it THIS WAY!! haha
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skillz9669:
What I did should use the internal 13gb memory, it doesn't hurt to try it, easy enough to change it back
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
good point, i'll give it a shot and report back :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skillz9669:
definitely, kind of interested myself now. :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
Nope, looks like it still puts them to the"program"storage. Not entirely sure I understand how to use emulator though. I followed your instructions to the T but when I asked for get installlocation it didnt exactly tell me which option was selected
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skillz9669:
it should look like this:

su

# pm setInstallLocation 1

# pm getInstallLocation

# 1[internal]

did yours say that?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skillz9669:
you should see it like this but with option being 1[internal] not [external], for some reason I can't take a screen shot of mine so this is the best I could find
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
This is what I get. I'm pretty sure I typed it correctly. It was too long to fit in one screen shot, so I took two. You should be able to find where the text overlaps
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skillz9669:
your putting a space after "get"

it should be exactly :

pm getinstalllocation

or

pm setinstalllocation 1 ( the 1 has a space before it )

your putting a space after set and get, fix that n it should work
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
you're right, lol i was adding a space. i tried it again this morning, and for some reason it gave me the same long list of explanations that i dont understand. did basically the same thing as before. i noticed that for some reason it is capitalizing my I's in "getInstalllocatIon". dont know if that would have anything to do with it or not. that is exactly how it looks when i type it though?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xeod:
I tried this and it worked. I show as 1[internal]

you must type it as such

# pm setInstalLocation 1

Both the I and L are capitalized. When I did it the first time around I didnt capitalize and it didnt work.

However I still can seem to get apps to move to the Internal SD. I even went as far as uninstalling apps and reinstalling to see if they did default into the internal SD as I indicated with the Terminal Emulator. Anything else that needs to be done to allow the Internal SD to be writable?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] usit:
Thanks you great solution.

I did it and it worked but for some reason it switched back to "External SD"

I did change it it again but now the folder ".android_secure" is in External SD like (alei.switchpro-1.asec) and some app refuse to install.do you have any solution?

Thanks again
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skullfire2396:
Still installs on the internal memory instead of sd

Did all that with the emulator and I did set it as 1, however apps still get installed on my internal memory...seriously running out of space now!!
[Captivate General] a_fuegon:
When I want to change my ring tones, the list of apps that pop up to handle the ringtones is the "android system", "handcent" and "zedge". Neither shows me a list of all audio files, which include my ringtones. The option of media player or something to that effect, did populate the list and did allow me to browse media files. What I am looking for is a way to modify that pop up list to add media player to it, as it is right now, I'm limited to the os's option of media files.

The xda search app doesn't seem to handle search queries very well, or perhaps I do not know how to use the search function. But my results were not even close to being relevant.

Not really looked much but i think some people had to put the custom ringtones in the system folder were the default ones are, don't know were that is, but that was right after the phone came out.

You could always try a market app like ringdroid or something should work
[Captivate General] jack man:
I dont know if this is what you are looking for, but if you use an external sd card, the best way to do custom ringtones is to create two folders on the ext sd card - one called ringtones, and one called notifications. any mp3 or sound files that go into those folders will show up in the list of files when you try to change ringtones and notification tones. and the file sizr doesn't matter. I use full mp3 files for my ringtones.
[Defy General] BravoMotorola:
I can't believe through all of this time until now, nobody has tried the Defy's 2nd init boot menu to attempt to boot CM7. Jorgonv finally did tried that and managed to boot CM7 easily on the Bravo. Way before then I always thought the only issue we would have (if we had 2nd init) if we took the CM7 from the Defy and put it on the Bravo would be the camera and the carrier differences. Little did I know that I was correct. The problems we got from the two phones having different carriers are now fixed (hardly ever got any signal, if we did get signal it would be one bar) but those issues have been fixed by Jorgonv (Woah Jorgonv, thanks for helping with the Bravo so much:D)

We still have one issue though and that is the camera. The camera is not working for the Bravo whatsoever. Jorgonv is also on that issue but it would be nice to know exactly what you guys here on the Defy forum think on what needs to be there for the camera to work. Any information on that would be really appreciated.

And btw these phones are so similar we could almost develop side by side:D

Many thanks for that recommendation as not only does it work great but rather the having to have a separate control for each type of sound i discovered hitting the name changes to the next option so only need one widget on the Home screen instead of 4 or 5 and can alter all sound levels from it a great app and its free.
