about about loading a blur type rom? like alien? its essentially the same as stock with some upgrades and changes... maybe look into that as well?

[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Although 99.999999999999999% of the MicroSD Cards which are 32GB are Class 2, I noted that the 16GB which Verizon stocked in the Rezound is a Class 4. I suspect that means we should go no lower than Class 4.

Anyone know of a good and legitimate 32GB SD card which is Class 4 or even better? I note that Class 6 and Class 10 all tend to be brands I have never heard of (other than 1 by PNY).

Recommendations are appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Sandisk has a class 4 32gb micro on Amazon for $37. I just ordered mine, and it should be here in a few days. I'll let you know what I think of it when it gets here.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Anything faster?

Anyone successfully use a Class 6 or 10 that was NOT a fake and actually worked close to speed?

This is a Class 10 but I don't want to guinea pig it :)

Someone put in a 64gb, don't know what class, and the RZD formatted it and it worked.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353148

I asked about class in there and someone said unless you are going to move large amounts of stuff regularly then class 2 or 4 is fine.
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
Yeah, the only real difference is the transfer time. If you're swapping a lot of data on a daily basis (like copies of your BluRay movies), then a higher class rating makes it go faster, but doesn't have any other effect on the performance of the phone, to my knowledge.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
JD, there's a thread elsewhere on xda that talks about card speeds and basically recommends that the sweet spot is a 32g class 4 card. I have 3 of 'em (all bought at various sales just under $40). One is in my Rezound; one is in my tablet, and one is kept synced to the one in my phone via Microsoft Synctoy....because all cards ultimately fail.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i was reading somehwere that this may affect the speed of how videos write to the card if you save to card..is that true?

i'm gonna get a 32 gig as well, but should i go for class 4 or 6?
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Do you have an amazon link to the one you found to be the best?
[HTC Rezound] jbis:
Yeah that 64 GB is a class 6. It's part of Sandisk's new mobile ultra cards. They make em in all sizes I believe.
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
That's a valid concern. I don't know the bitrate at which the camera records the various formats that it is capable of, but I'd say that a Class 4 is a safe bet in any case.
[HTC Rezound] tynan:
For a smartphone doing HD recording you want "atleast" a 4. Anything slower might get stuck in swapping. Personally I think it's one of those things with go with what you can afford/feel comfortable with. Though I'm also using a class 10 16GB since I can't stand being bogged down on transfers. I mean honestly, it's an LTE phone, not an HD camera. I don't need a 32gb, I stream everything.

Play back is a different story, a class 2 32gb works fine as long as the app does proper buffering. Though it will always load faster with a faster SD card.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
"Sandisk has a 64GB micro SDHC card out, although its $219."

Ouch. Not cheap.

This one works and is a much better price, especially when mom gives it to you for xmas. :D

just curious stupid question, for USA people who bought the international version of GN from eXpansys US or whoever, could you install google wallet from the market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
When it was in the web market it would only install on "Sprint's" Nexus S - everything else was listed as an incompatible device.

Curiously it's now gone from the web market as far as I can tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
no you can't. it will only show up for the Sprint Nexus S.

however, you can install it to the GNex and it works just fine. i believe the post is in the apps section. last i checked it required rooting and a custom rom though, but if you really want google wallet, for the time being thats the only way.

It requires you to unlock your bootloader and root your phone. I have it installed on mine and use GWallet to pay for my McDonald's since I put it on.

I am planning to buy a memory card for my Galaxy 3.

I already have a Class 2 8GB card which I will give to my father.

So I was looking for a better memory card this time.

I have following 3 options right now.

8 GB class 10 : Rs 700/-

16 GB class 6 : Rs 1100/-

32 GB class 4 : Rs 1950/- (Probably not worth it)

I was actually looking for 32 GB class 10 within 2000 but not available. or even if it is available, It wont be affordable for me.

I would like some developers like Dharam, Hillbeast, Naveen or Kyrillos to suggest me what should I go for.

I am planning to use 2GB a2sd partition & 256MB swap on it.

How about Class 6 performance? Would I miss something if I go for the 16GB card?

Meaning, do I really need a class 10 card for a2sd and swap?

If anyone from India can direct me to some better deals than above 3 then I would be thankful.
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] Smonic:
Get the 8GB class 10 card.
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] ajay.d96:
32 GB class 4
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] Smonic:
Worst choice. The sd card is slow so app2sd will be slow and you won't even use 32GB of space. Class 10 is fastest so you will be fine since you want to partition 2GB
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] bobbyprajan:
I bought a samsung 8 GB class 6 microsd card from ebay-dot-in for around 500 Rs.It does not seem to lag, but sdtools my transfer speeds are 6 Mbps read and 4 Mbps write, which is the same as what i was getting earlier with a class 4 verbatim. These speeds were checked after setting the buffer to 2048 KB.

[Galaxy 3 Accessories] Smonic:
I think our phones have a certain limit on SD card read and write speeds :(
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] m1trand1r:
well...hillbeast said that speed of sdcard is like that because of JIT is being enabled in custom rom's....:P ...and i have 8Gb class 10 Verbatim sdcard and I'm using hybridata2sd....everything runs smoothly :D

Dont go for 32 gb - You are phone will get hang up

Use how much you required .I guess 16Gb is sufficient
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dozal84:
It is pretty crazy how people who have the skyrocket ignore that the screen looks awful when dim. Its even worse that Samsung has not stopped production to fix the problem either. You would think the white one would come with a fixed screen. Usually by this time you have people writing reviews and ranting about phone defects on YouTube, yet with this phone nothing. Just hoping someone agrees with me and maybe we can stick these problem up samsungs behind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Dont think anyone cares that much

Why use the screen dimmed? Kinda defeats the purpose of having a super amoled
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lwfb:
Agreed.

I have mine set at 50% and its bright enough for me all the time.

I never go lower than that though, so I personally never experience poor screen quality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
I've never notice the problems mentioned throughout the forum regarding dim settings and colors/lines. I'm sure that to a good eye mine is too afflicted.

One a side note, took my screen protector off today, and man! is that screen gorgeous. It's gonna be hard to put it back on, but I learned that lesson with the Atrix when I took it's protection off and it hit the ground.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dozal84:
You see, and that is the problem. You are ignoring to issue. So when your in a dark room you have your screen full brightness? I don't so it does bother me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Camaro1LE:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
just picked one up today. white one.

i see the lines below 50% brightness. above, they are gone.

I believe this is just a simple issue of having the same pixel density of the galaxy S2 but with a larger screen.

this should be device wide.......i dont see why people should have different results....

I've had my white SR since Monday and I can say the screen on my Infuse was FAR superior to this one.

ignoring and ignorance are two different things.

i ignore the lines cause i only see them when opening xda app at the lowest brightness setting.

i would be ignorant of the lines if i never saw them or never set my brightness low enough.

samsung might have ignored it but i doubt they are ignorant of it. it would be a hard sell if they claimed they never saw them on their reference or test models.

anyone have a gs2 lte international version to see if that one has lines too?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chr0nicDreamz:
Sorry, you can use the LCD density changer app in the market. Or you can use prop editor which you can find on xda. However, I do not recommend using prop editor unless you know what you are doing. My LCD density is set to 160. Smaller icons and not as cartoony

Yes, stock is 240.

For anyone with experience with At&T returns, tell me, is it possible to return a phone I ordered online to an authorized At&T brick and mortar store? Also, how likely are they to accept my return (I'm at less than 30 days btw)? I'm afraid that the employees will just deny the problem or say that it is normal. I wish I knew someone with a non-defective Skyrocket, as that would be solid evidence. The best I could do is show them pictures of the defective vs. non-defective model. Although for some reason, I have yet to see a picture of a non-defective screen. One person has posted one of the screen but left out the phone itself so you can't prove it's a Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gravi2:
@demonwind I had exchanged my phone on the last day of my 30 days. BTW I had purchased it from BM store. I showed them the brightness level was different on my handset vs some of their ( store model and the manager's phone). Did not have to convince much.

But in the end I endded up with a better handset but this one still has those lines and blobs . I guess I tried to make sure I can spot the lines, but its difficult to verify in bright light. I wish there was a LCD test app that highlights these issues. BTW I already know about LCD test mode (*#0*#) but it does not help much.

All in all, ignore these issues and enjoy your phone. The issue is an issue only if you want it to be a issue.
