I am running a 16 gig class 4 Sandisk card, and it runs well.

Played with the camera some, and recorded some video to test it out. Haven't had any problems there.

Also loaded some movies to the sdcard, and played them both on the device and through a video cable to a t.v., didn't see any issues so far - but I haven't had a lot of time to dig into it. Currently only tested .avi video using mobo player.

No problems transferring data back and forth through the device to the sdcard when plugging into the computer. Loads up right away as an external drive (windows machine), drag and drop, edit files on the device, etc... no problems.

I have a pny class 10 (8 gig) I could compare it to if you're interested, otherwise i'll get around to that eventually anyway.

Is there a god benchmark app to use on the device itself to compare memory cards?

(I know these card capacities are way below what you're asking, but I don't have any 32 gig cards to throw at the question yet - may be a while before I get any)

What's the cheapest place to buy cards? Usually I've bought from Amazon. I always have thought it was cheaper than Newegg. Thoughts?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cal3thousand:
I always trust Newegg with my SD cards. They have a good selection at good to very good prices and their customer service is Eggcellent! (sorry, I couldn't resist :p)

Everytime I've had an issue with any of their cards (only 2 times now), they promptly remedied the situation to my satisfaction.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iunlock:
If you do get a 32GB, the Lexar 32GB Class 10 is an excellent choice.

I've done extensive research before purchasing mine

off of newegg ...

The card is solid and has impressive read/write speeds that can't be touched to date. If you google it, you should be able to find some comparisons as I did. (Note: It may not show up on the first page of results...I remember going through a lot and typing different words when researching...)

Advice: DO NOT BUY THE PIECE OF CRAP ONES OFF OF ?BAY. THOSE ARE PIECE OF JUNKS FROM CHINA AND MOST ALL FAKES. THEY ARE 2GB CARDS WITH A PROGRAM HACK TO HAVE IT READ AS 32GB. ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA, STAY AWAY. WE ALL KNOW THAT...

THE LEXAR IS REPUTABLE AND IS MADE IN

KOREA

, WHICH IS THE BEST OF THE BEST IN CHIP / MEMORY, PERIOD. WELL LCD'S TOO...

FYI: I'm not one to fall for second best when I could enjoy having the best of the best. Lexar 32GB Class 10 is the way to go.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
don't get a 32g class 10 patriot card unless they fixed them

the one i got in january keeps corrupting data on my phones but no other devices.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
Half the stuff in your home is prolly from China.

Anywayz, I know that the Class 10 cards actually do give better speeds. My question is does it matter for our phones? Is the SD card a bottleneck for the Doubleshot?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Yep, positively.

I had a PNY class 10 8-gig card, specifically advertised as "high speed data transfer" and it was.

I had a bunch of SanDisk class 4 - 8 gig cards, and some SanDisk class 4/2 - 16-gig cards laying around from the memory speed tests I did on the Nook Color.

Whereas the Nook Color requires manufacturing attention to small block read/write data paths, the MT4GS requires large block read/write data paths to be more robust on the physical circuitry of the card.

I restore half a dozen to a dozen CWM backups on my phone a day. There was a noticeable shortness in the time spent restoring a full backup from the class 10 PNY card.

What we learned last time, and the links are in the bottom line of my signature, is that SanDisk cards are ideal for the Nook Color, because that particular manufacturer makes a more balanced card. For the ( for now ) niche market of running an android installation from a MicroSD card, either you get a SanDisk card or you go home crying.

This phone, or any phone, is just the kind of device that the class 10 MicroSD cards are targeted at and made for. Large block read/write transfer applies to things like:

-Streaming media (movies, music)

-Playing media from the MicroSD card

-Playing most games, at least the higher-end graphics-wise ones.

-Transferring large chunks of data...like recovery images, folders of pictures, movies, etcetera and so on...

When the phone tries to grab stuff from the MicroSD card, it usually does so in large enough grabs where it falls into the category of large block file transfer.

I was trying to do memory tests on this phone with benchmarks that can be compared like the threads in my sig, but for the moment i'm too wrapped up in other stuff for this phone.

Until I can throw blocks of time at testing, and only testing in one sitting I can't control the variables I can influence enough to validate my results to myself, let alone to share here. Meanwhile, i'm keeping an eye on this thread, so keep asking questions and experimenting!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
Nice, Blue! I'm going to pick up a class 10. I am specifically wondering about gallery rendering. I use my MT4GS for looooooooots of photos and videos. I open the gallery constantly and it takes a while to pull all of the content. I currently have a 32gb class 4. I'll report back my findings.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Yep, you'll notice a sizeable difference going from a class 4 to 10, even though you didn't mention the manufacturer.

I really, really wanted to use the stock gingerbread gallery from Google, but it's just not as good with loading pictures as the stock HTC gallery is.

I've compared them both using the same memory cards, and while the Google gallery is good using a class 10 card (PNY in my case, 8 gig) anything less and it won't load all the pictures the first, second, or even third time you kick it up.

I like the Google gallery better, because it means I can eliminate the sense frameworks altogether on the MT4GS, but it just can't compare to how well and correctly the sense gallery works.

Shame, looks like i'm stuck with sense, but i've not been loading anywhere near the number of pictures you are talking about.

I am eagerly awaiting whatever results you care to share moving up to a 32G class 10 card - let me know what manufacturer you end up going with.

I want one, but it's just so hard for me to justify the cost of it against other things I have to spend my money on, since I have about a dozen MicroSD cards here sitting in front of me.

I just broke my class 10 PNY card yesterday - pulled the cord from the pc before it said ready to eject, while it was trying to make it ready to eject. Now the card won't format in any device or compter I put it in - dammit.

Maybe I can convince myself to buy one if it seems like it made a drastic difference to you, since I don't have any class 10 cards left now.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
It all depends on what card you get. I recommend both 32GB cards in my signature.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cedde:
I have a pny 32gb class 10. $50 at bestbuy few weeks ago. So fare i have no lag or issue.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
LEXAR 32GB class 10. My QuickPic gallery opens up instantly. Load times are negligible. The photos are just there! I moved up from a SanDisk 32gb class 4.

SD Tools measures it as writing at 10MB/sec.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] babubangla:
I wanted a balanced card for everyday moderate use. Based on Blue6IX's comment in post # 14, I decided to go for SanDisk. Observing that the MT4GS came with a SanDisk Class 4 card and the speed was sufficient for my moderate use, I just upgraded the size with a 32GB SanDisk Class 4 card.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Since I changed my signature, I'm running a Wintec 32GB class 10 card in my Doubleshot and an ADATA 32GB class 4 card in my Vision. Both cards run pretty well, especially since I have the real A2SD running in the Vision.

I also recommend PNY's cards. Best Buy has those on the shelves if you don't want to wait for UPS to deliver it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I just ordered a 64GB card from Sandisk. It's supposed to come in Tuesday. If it works I'll post back here.

Delivered via candygram for Mr. Mongo.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
To my understanding they are a different architecture and won't work on 32-gig limit devices like ours.

Hope that's not the case, I really haven't looked far enough into it to know for sure, just something I read in passing.

I'd love to know, thanks for posting about it!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
It should work, just make sure you format it on the phone first, because it won't recognize the card, but once it's formatted on the phone, the phone should recognize like 59. some GB. This is for other android phones so no guarantee that it will work on this, but I think it should.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
According to Android Community, it even works on the G2.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
That is fantastic, and thanks for the info!

If it works for the Sensation, then it's almost positive to work for us, so based on that article i'd say you didn't take much of a risk - good looking on letting us know, and I can't wait to find out how it works out!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
See the link I replied to Blue6ix with. It's compatible for both my Vision and the Sensation, and the Doubleshot and Sensation have the same chipset. If nothing else, I'd have a 32GB(!) A2EXT partition on my Vision.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Just got the card in today. Currently setting everything up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It works!

Also, Settings/Storage says I have a total of 59.45GB to play with. The screenshot says otherwise.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Interesting. Nice of you to try for us!

Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
It's kinda funny how they advertise the card and say they won't work, yet they work in pretty much every android phone after being formatted... Can't wait for the terabyte cards to come out... They're gonna be expensive but worth it :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Interesting about the discrepancy, but sweet in any case - I really appreciate you posting about it here.

This is on my immediate future purchasing list for the raw storage regardless of anything else but:

- What brand is the card, do you have a link?

- How's the cards actual performance, does it seem like it's being any more of a bottleneck then the sdcard generally is, or are you breezing right through cwm backups and so forth?

...another good way to guage sdcard performance without using an app is to take as many pictures as you can as quickly as possible to try to jam up the card. I can get ahead of a class 4 Sandisk (or any class 4...) without much trouble, but both class 10 PNY 16 gig cards i've been through have been very hard to swamp like that.

Would you buy a different card if you could do your purchase over again or are you happy with what you have?

...I haven't spent a lot of time on this, my next purchase is a Mugen 3600 for the doubleshots, but a 64 gig sdcard is now next on the list, so maybe in a few weeks (hopefully sooner!)

Fantastic that this works, this will make managing and getting my dev projects uploaded so much easier...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Another good way, if you can use a Win7 (maybe Vista) computer, is with the built in winsat utility. You have to use a cmd prompt opened with administrator priviledges, then enter:

To test random reads (4096 for 4 KB):

winsat disk -read -ran -ransize ''4096'' -drive ''driverletter''

For random writes (524288 for 512 KB):

winsat disk -write -ran -ransize ''524288'' -drive ''driverletter''

The results are given in MB/s.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
From what I have read they only make sandisk 64gb micro sdxc class 6 cards. You can find them at a bunch of online retailers though (directly from Sandisk, amazon, best buy, etc.).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Here you go.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
That was the same thing I was looking at - that's fantastic luck you can confirm that card specifically, it is the most attractive chip from what I've seen available.

(Probably why that's the one you picked)

If it's still available at that price on monday/tuesday I will probably get one, but I need that extended battery first.

It's on the short list and I'm glad to see SanDisk producing something above class 4 !
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Then order both. With this card and my Mugen my phone exceeds the iPhone 4s in every way (ran it against a coworker's iPhone and memory was the only thing that had mine beat).

Also, it's no guarantee. I had my first 32GB Wintec card get corrupted for no reason and Wintec replaced it for free.

I was wondering if we'd be able to get some early generation sdXc cards working with this phone. Good to see it confirmed! A little pricey, but this is one heck of a way to make a large capacity media player

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332785351&sr=1-4

$99.95 shipped - mugen lost this round... I have a couple energizer lithium ion battery packs so the bigger device battery was mostly a convenience thing.

I payed a hundred bucks for a 128MB flash drive ten years ago when flash memory was a new concept, I certainly feel like having 64 gigs in a smaller package then my thumbnail is worth it, especially since my home internet is atrocious and I upload all my software from other wifi net connections.

Now I can have my dev packages with me so when I do get to good wifi I can up them from the doubleshot - and not have to sacrifice stuff I need on the phone.

Really, if it's a choice between bringing dev stuff or the files I need for my shift that night - and it's been that way a few times - the part that pays the bills wins. Now I don't have to make that choice, maybe even be able to toss some music on it too!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention - in my opinion the two failings of this device are storage and battery. Anker was a cheap patch for the embarrasing HTC battery, but a Mugen 3600 is the real fix.

Now that we have these cards at our disposal, I have no complaints about this device - anything software we can solve, hardware is either available or not.

I'm excited - can't wait until it gets here!

1.Buy a new battery and chrage it with ???.(i don't know how to spell it,however you can use that to charge your battery with out phone. Sorry, i'm not a native speaker.)

2. Put it in your phone,you can boot again and see a big white cut "M". That mean it works, so you should take out the battery and reboot again into Recovery or OpenRecovery to reinstall your rom or use your backup.

This will work.

You can cut open a USB cable and attach to the battery, this will fool the milestone into thinking the battery is full and let you flash.

Well, I hope this forum will have pity on me. I've flashed countless ROM's, dinked with my EVO till my wife was blue in the face but I've got a few questions about Synergy that I just can't see to find the answers to (and yes, I've looked). So, at the risk of being flamed...

- Where do I find what release of Synergy I've currently got flashed? I thought I downloaded RC2 from the mirror, but Synergy Updater says, "running Synergy_RLS1-Supe..." I can't find any additional version information.

- Is there anything available via Synergy Updater yet? Nightlies? I've turned on Display Experimental Roms and Display All Rom Updates. All I see is "Test Synergy Update DO NOT DOWNLOAD". There is nothing else in the list.

- Where can you get nightlies?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
If you have Synergy RLS-1 then you have the 'latest' version. RC = release candidate whereas RLS = release. In other words, the rom is considered a finished product.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlampitt:
Hey folks,

Thanks for the quick replies. I do appreciate it.

I do understand that RC = Release Candidate, etc.

tropicalbrit, I just had to press the "More" field (which was actually a button) and I see that the Build Number does indeed say, "Synergy (RC2)".

So... that does bring to mind another question...

Why does the build number say RC2 in this panel but RLS1 in the Synergy updater? If I'm really running RC2, shouldn't RLS1 show up in the Synergy Updater?

And finally, dougjamal, I would love to post questions in official Synergy thread, but I'm restricted b/c I have less than 10 posts to my name in xda-developers.

Thanks again for any help you can provide.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiprince92:
On Synergy Updater, the title says "Synergy Updater running Synergy_RLS1-Supersonic" which doesn't mean that you are running on RLS1. It means that it has checked for updates for the latest version of Synergy.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asperoth:
Not to hijack the thread, but I've got a question on the same thing:

My Synergy Updater app only shows ONE theme/addon (black ring on lockscreen) and no ROMs of any kind. Is there some trick to getting it to find all the mods/addons from Myn's Synergy thread?

Also, while I downloaded and flashed the Godmode Synergy ROM, I just did a Quadrant score and hit 1333. Obviously that's significantly less than the ~2000 that Godmode supposedly provides. Anyone have any thoughts on the speed difference?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiprince92:
Have you tried updating the server? To do this, Open Synergy Updater>Menu>Configuration>Manage Addon/Theme Servers>Menu>Update Featured Addon/Theme Servers.

Are you using a kernel? I know that when I use GoldenMonkey 1.1 on godmode, the scores were significantly lower than when I used any other kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asperoth:
I think I've done that, but I'll do it again to check.

I am not using any non-standard kernel that I know of. In the past I've used things like SBC kerels for Froyo, but I don't know of anything like that for Gingerbread yet, so I haven't done anything.

I've been under the impression that the kernel gets flashed with the ROM, so I haven't touched it. Should be the stock GB kernel that comes with Synergy as far as I know.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiprince92:
I haven't personally tried the godmode on RLS1 yet because, to me, the quadrant score isn't worth it if the phone takes a significant amount of time to open apps and lag. I'd recommend that you switch to RLS1 without godmode if you get tired with the lag.
