Thanks for your reply.

As my post said, the card is formatted to FAT32 an the 32 GB card is working just fine.

Was the other guys problem discussed in this thread?

[Android General] kouwata01:
Thank, but I have a question.

Thank, but I have a question. Is the SDcard's speed depends on the phone's reading speed too, or just the SDcard, and all phones can handle any SDcards?
[Android General] NYLimited:
Both. Think of the card and the associated Class number like a speed limit. You are not allowed to go faster. But, if you put a high speed limit sign on a very small, unpaved street (and old, slow device) you still will not be able to go very fast, even though the sign allows it.

[Android General] NYLimited:
Does it show close to 8 gb of free (available) space? Can you check and format the card on a phone or another device?

Sir . When i go to storage it says unavailable . And when i format nothing happens . And in other devices it cannot detect even in computer

I am not able to copy , delete or change that file in tytung's rom that resets minfree values after changing it by rom toolbox . How can i do it ???
[Android General] NYLimited:
Install ES File Explorer from the Play store, give it Superuser permission when asked and you will be able to what you want. Just be careful. ;)

[Android General] abdallahlabeeb:
I have that all done already but still giving me permission denied !!!!!!!
[Android General] NYLimited:
Ah, okay. Find the file in ES Explorer. Long press the name. When the check box comes up tap more and select properties. On the next window, near the bottom you should see permissions.

Tap change and make sure all permissions are ticked, specifically the write permissions.
[Android General] abdallahlabeeb:
Es file explorer is not requesting superuser permission and i do not know how to add it to the superuser permission list !!!!!!!

Edit: thanks done already............
[Android General] NYLimited:
Good. Make sure you are using the latest version of ES File Explorer - they recently fixed some issues with mounts and I recall so he conversations about Superuser (not sure since I use SuperSU).

Sdcard

I got a class 6 sandisk and it was labelled 20mb/s speed but when i run some test and transfer it doesnt go beyong 10mb/s is that normal and if not how can i identify the problem?
[Android General] NYLimited:
Something is not right. Is the 20 mega bits or mega bytes? Either way it seems incorrect.

A class 6 card should give you 6 mega bytes.

I have not seen any Class 6 sandisk cards.

They jump from 4 to 10.

20 mega bits translate to less than 3 mega bytes.

A class 6 card cannot be 20 mega bytes.

Do you know what the model or part number of this card is?

Often wrong. Never in doubt.
[Android General] Nasaris:
I am not sure if my information is correct or not. Ill make sure of it and get back to you. Thank you for your response

[Android General] PhreighnQ:

[Android General] rsngfrce:
I've been taking a break from the forum for a while, or I would have replied to this sooner. I haven't read the rest of the thread to see if NRK77 got his issue resolved. My issue was that my E4GT would keep randomly reporting that my 65GB card was corrupted or that it had been uninstalled. I never had any problems when it was working (most of the time) like NRK77 mentions. Card was formatted to FAT32 using EaseUS Partition Manager. Same problems with two different cards, both of them SanDisk.

I'm pretty much convinced there is nothing wrong with my cards, the problem was either related to software or perhaps the card reader in the phone. I just got a GS4 and have started using one of the cards in that, I'll be very interested to see if my issues go away.
[Android General] Yel-Al:
and a maximum of how fast can a micro sd be?
[Android General] NYLimited:
Not sure if you are asking about read or write speeds.

For that matter, not sure if you are asking about existing or theoretical speeds..

Anyway, SanDisk claims its extreme microSD card is the “world’s fastest” memory card for smartphones and tablets. The company’s new card boasts read speeds of 95MB/second, and write speeds of 90MB/second. With those speeds, it’s hard to argue with SanDisk’s claims, those are certainly the highest numbers seen for any microSD card so far. The speeds are even faster than some USB 3.0 flash drives.

SanDisk calls the new card the

SanDisk Extreme Pro

microSDHC UHS-I. The UHS Speed Class 1 rating is equivalent to the standard Class 10 rating.

The Ultra-High Speed (UHS) designation available on some cards as wella s the "X" ratings have already been covered in the first three posts of this thread.
[Android General] kiayichsan:
it doesnt work :( looks like i should get new one :( but thanks for the information anyway :)
[Android General] LuSiD7:
A great thread! All the info is here! Good work NYLimited.

One question from me too. I have purchased a Sandisk 32GB Class UHS 10 (SDSDQUA-032G) from eBay and I am getting far more slower writing speeds than you (around 4,7 to 5,1 MB/s). My reading speeds seem normal though (28.7 to 30.1 MB/s).

I must note that I am running the QSEA-MUSIC EDITION_V1 ROM with Native SD. Is it because the OS is on the same card tested and not on NAND?

---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 AM ----------

So for the ones with NativeSD is ok to use? Sorry but I cannot really understand your statement.
[Android General] NYLimited:
Are you still using the HD2? The HD2 cannot enable the card's UHS mode. UHS and Class 10 write speeds are based on SEQUENTIAL writes, not random like Android uses much of the time so between the older device and the card your wires are probably s expected.

My suggestion would be to try something like a Class 6 Samsung card for NativeSD.

----

Often wrong. Never in doubt.
[Android General] LuSiD7:
Wow, I didn't know this for the HD2... So my card cannot work to its full potential with the HD2, right? Such a pity. I will try to flash another ROM on NAND and measure the performance with this setup also. I will post my results here to contribute.

Thanks for all the helpful information and your guidance! Much appreciated!
[Android General] NYLimited:
A ROM and the parameters it uses may make a very small difference. However, the card requires a different voltage from the bus in order to enable the UHS features. Since the HD2 knows nothing about this the card will function - At BEST - as a Class 10 device. For some reason I cannot pinpoint some HD2 can drive the UHS cards at Class 10 speed while others cannot. So the Sandisk Ultra becomes a questionable card for this device.

Often wrong. Never in doubt.

[Q] New phone, new card?

great info!

i'm a newcomer, but ive been reading tons of pages in preparation for rooting my phone (xperia e / c1504.) im planning on unlocking the bootloader, rooting, then will probably install a vanilla rom. (i mainly want to get rid of bloatware and run the cpu/battery more efficiently.)

i know that that there are certain files that need to be loaded onto the phone or an sd card, and i was planning on using the 32 gig san disk that i was using for my old phone (nokia c3-01.) after reading your posts, though, it occurred to me -- should i use a fresh sd card? or is it okay to root, etc. with my old card? there's stuff on the card but i was planning on copying the files (mostly pictures & music) to my mac and then wiping it clean.

thoughts? any help/advice is appreciated!

thanks,

mei

This is a really impressive thread! Thanks for all the hard work!

I wonder if I could request a bit of quick and dirty advice. I'm going to be giving my phone to a friend and I need to active one I picked up off of Ebay (this is occurring today).

Essentially I need to acquire a quality 32GB card that will work best with the Droid Bionic.

I take some pictures and video, but mostly I browse, switch between apps a lot and check stuff like social media, email, sports. The most important thing to me is quick app loading/usage and minimum lag/stutter.

Any recommendations?
[Android General] NYLimited:
I don't know how fast the bus of that phone is. Since Moto officially limits the card to 32 gb it is safe to assume it will not support UHS I cards (it might if you reformat it to fat32).

Having said that I cannot tell you if the phone was designed to properly handle a Class 10 card. You could try one, as long as you have a vendor who will take it back once opened.

The safe bet would be a Class 6 card. I recently posted a Samsung onside on eBay for $20, sold by Buydig, a good seller. Go back a few posts to find it.

thank you for clearing things up for me. Cheers!
[Android General] cognitivedissonance:
That particular one you linked to was sold out, but they made another listing for the exact same card and it too was $19.99 until about noon today. I actually had it up on my browser saying $19.99, clicked Buy It Now and the price showed up as $24.00. Apparently it was an Ebay deal of the day and they only offer a certain number of these cards at that price (their customer service explained this when I called about the price jump to see if I could get the original $19.99 price). If I wanted to, I'm sure I could wait a day or two and they'd re-list the same item at the lower price (I say that based on the numerous appearances of this pricing according to slickdeals). Anyway, I happened to go over to the buydig website and they are selling it for $22 with free shipping. $2 isn't enough to make me wait so I pulled the trigger. Thanks for the recommendation!
[Android General] NYLimited:
Buydig

has been pretty agressive with their Samsung pricing and, as you said, they keep bringing the sale back regularly. Sometimes on their web site, sometimes on ebay. Usually free shipping. I agree with you on the $2 not being a deal breaker but, for those people who must have the lowest price, a little patience will bring it back to under $20 again. :)

SanDisk's new Extreme Class MicroSDXC cards are really, really fast but

Nice cards but not necessarily for the old devices. :(

Yesterday, SanDisk announced its newest line of microSDXC cards, the Extreme series. And they're Extreme[ly] fast. But as you and I know, manufacturer speed claims for microSD cards aren't exactly indicative of real-world performance figures (especially in smartphones), so we actually compared SanDisks's new Extreme cards to the older Ultra series.

Have you tried another card? It is possible that the card is developing a problem and, although not dead currently, it may be marginal. Trying a other card would help you determine if the problem is the card, the phone or software.

They can locate files which were deleted often have no idea what the file was. You would likely have to recognize the file and name it correctly.

Of course, one the space had been allocated to something else (it was technically free) and it has been written on no further recovery is possible (except from a backup)

[Android General] brecklundin:
sounds like your card, if not rebadged class 4, is setup with a 4K sector (block) size. The smaller the sector size generally speaking she less waste onthe card from partially filled blocks but the tradeoff is a much slower write (& read too) speed.

SanDisk has pages to aid in ID'ing fake cards. I don't have them anymore but searching should reveal them.
