Best buy Is sell SanDisk - Ultra 64GB microSDXC Class 10 Memory Card For $49.99 or you can tell them it's on sale at amazon and they will price match it for $45.99. Or you pick up a SanDisk - Ultra 32GB microSDHC Class 10 Memory Card for $24.99. They both are great prices.

I have the SanDisk Ultra 64 and its been nothing but problems. It will randomly corrupt files on my card, deletes all pics and videos and randomly unmounts. Have no idea what the issue is. The only way to get it to work again is copy what I can to my external hdd. Then reformat the card. it works for a couple weeks, then it does it again.

Unfortunately Amazon had no return policy on this card. I've been thinking of just ordering another or trying a Samsung card. But I thought SanDisk was the company to go with the memory card game. Who knew.

Anybody have issues with the Samsung card??
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 23732:
I have the Samsung MicroSD Pro 64GB card and it has worked flawless. Superfast transfers, no random unmounts or corruptions. It well worth the price.

I was one of the lucky folks who grabbed the 64gb from verizon when they had a typo (24.99) / I was fixed in less than 2 hours / I just happened to be snooping around XDA :) and found the tip (posted about 2 minutes before I got there). / No issues / However, I moved the card to my Nook HD for movies and stuff and have a 32GB in the S3. I will probably take the advice I see here and go with Sammy. Most likely, it's gonna be more compatible. Damn!

Lexar

I bought a Lexar 32 GB card and had the exact same issues you described above. Now it's actually unable to re-format; so it's officially dead and headed to the recycle bin.

It's still selling on Amazon (same place I bought it from). Since I can't post a link yet, I'll just upload a picture from Amazon. Perhaps I just got a bad one. Buy at your own risk.

don't buy it

I bought it in 09/29 ( www . ebay . com / itm / 151142903803 ? ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 ) remove the spaces, as i'm fresh here, i cannot post links :/ . the arrived last week and my files got lost or corrupted, so decided to check if it was my phone problem or my micro sd, it was my memory card. I used the H2TESTW I and found out that from 64gb only 7.5gb were avaiable.

Here is the software message:

"Warning: Only 63995 of 63996 MByte tested.

The media is likely to be defective.

7.3 GByte OK (15357440 sectors)

16.0 GByte DATA LOST (33573498 sectors)

H2testw version 1.3"

as I did not copy the 1st log.I'm re-doing the test to save the log. (it takes about 4~5 hours because of the size of the card)

The problem is: what I should do? I live in Brazil and I'm really afraind to try a refoung and further lose money (of sending back, lost because the seller can tell I have made a mistaken usage of the memory and don't refund me and neither send my ''64gb'' memory card)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] worktorest:
I have a sandisk ultra 64gb microsd card and I had problems with it before. It would randomly unmount itself on my phone.

I tried formatting the card on my computer and got myself in more trouble when the data capacity shrinked to like 27gb.

After reading alot of similar cases on the net, I didn't really find a solution that worked. The solution for me was to use the format sd card option under settings on samsung touchwiz.

The card worked ever since for abt 2 mths now. Never had another problem with it. I've read that it could be the phone not being fully compati le with 64gb class 10 cards or smth.

So if you are planning to get a microsd card, go for class 6 if you can find them.

Hello I just got my gs4 on Saturday and I have to say that im not as impressed as I thought I would be.

The phone gets quite hot during almost anything. Also is no where near as snappy as my rooted inspire (1.0 ghz single core with less than 1 gb ram). This phone is awesome as far as opening more draining apps like facebook.

I wouldn't think that rooting is needed to be quicker than a 2.5 year old phone...

At this point im considering trading it in for a gs3 or htc one....

And mine is definitely laggy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
If it's getting very hot with little usage then I'd exchange it for another.

Also, an update was released today that pretty much solved the lag issues..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] joeybear23:

I returned it and got it exchanged and that device is also getting way to hot. I might just return the GS4 seems like a big issue out there I googled the problem and see that most people are having the issue. IDK 7 more days and I.m stuck with it... any other phone would be a downgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RoboDroid13:
There is probably something wrong with your phone and the next one. Bad luck I guess. It never gets hot on normal use for me. The only time it gets hot for me is when playing high end games.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] schinner16:
Unless you dont mind being mocked for talking on a tablet I would avoid any phone larger than the s4. The note two has its place and it to me is only worthwhile if you carry a purse.... it's a great device but not practical in my opinion, I mean how do you carry that thing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
In my pocket never had an issue fits perfectly. As far as what others think about it don't matter to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] schinner16:
I wish I wasnt as affected but I hate when ppl comment on how large my phone is...and I think its because I agree and wish it was smaller. A 4.5 or so with the the same build as this s4 would be mich nicer. And by that I mean a screen that efficiently uses the face of the phone.

Its really tough to determine what is the he perfect size screen and I think over time we will become more tolerant of the pocket consumption. I mean look at the inspire or other older 4.2...it was huge for its time but now its really not considered that anymore.

With that said for the time being I think 4.5 with the smallest possible chassis would be the best.

Specs ain't everything if phone lacks and sucks at day to day usage what good does that do me? I will revisit sgs4 once they fix the poor performance or cm10 comes out for it. So yeah note 2 is an upgrade for now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] deepen915:
I have to agree.. even after both firmware updates, the phone does get warm/hot during normal usage, more during 4G/LTE usage. and the heat can be felt on the top of the phone screen when it is held at your ear during a phone call. I have no issues with it as far as performance/battery life, as it is still far better than my previous iPhone 5. I just feel like there should be a software fix to reduce the overheating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cdub5:
Mine gets super hot when using speaker phone. Even worse is when I'm on speaker phone and running an app, or searching the web.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwardcc:
Ok,I tried to install a different OS, on my phone via ODIN, i couldnt get it right the first couple of times so i kept doing more research. SO after i THOUGHT i had a solution i tried again. i was on the last step of the finalization and it said " about two minutes left" or something like that, and i waited about 40 minutes and it still said the same thing. so i thought i'd UNPLUG IT AND TRY AGAIN. well now after i do so,

i try to plug my device in again and it doesn't read it at all, This ALL HAPPENED AFTER THE PHONE ENCOUNTERED THE FIRMWARE PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE... WARNING SIGN... AND COMPUTER.

the only thing i was able to do was go to recovery mode, or download mode. CAN NOT GET INTO THE PHONE. now i'm smart enough to click an option on the recovery menu, but my power button or home button, or ANY Button, would not respond, besides the volume buttons to go up and down. So since the computer will not detect it, i dont know what to do, and i am using the factory cables, and i tried KIES AND ODIN. I have uninstalled drives in and out. still no solution, i read posts ever since last morning until now and decided to create my own posts for my own problems and seek help from people like ones on here who ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

it starts up as Samsung GT-i9100 and they goes to Android System Recovery <3e>

and below reads in yellow,

and shows and android robot with a white triangle and Orange ! mark in the middle.

The crazy thing about it is that i could use a button as an (Enter key) before i tried to flash my phone , before that i just cleaned the memory,

and once again after i removed phone from ODIN at about 98% im guessing, after i waited 40 minutes when it said about 2 minutes remaining. i was not able to try any other solution or connect to my laptop. and ive tried others, and my other phone connects fine. so i know i did something wrong....

Please Assist me, i'd really appreciate the time and effort,
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nis161:
Let me apologize for how horribly informed about phones I am even though my study is in a related industry (I'm a computer science undergrad), but I just don't understand all the different terms well enough to draw any proper conclusions as I research my way on getting a Galaxy S4. (I will be getting the Fido S4...so I'm guessing the i337?)

So let me get this straight:

Rooting gives you root access, as with any *-nux systems. So it means you'll have full control of your phone.

And as far as I can tell, only some variants of the S4 are root-able at the moment

Bootloader (lock/unlock) is whether or not you can put in a new (custom) firmware or not.

And so far, it looks like most variants are locked in terms of the bootloader.

Unlocking, I'm guessing in most occasions mean SIM-unlocked right?

What I don't understand is if a device is rooted and flashed with a new ROM. Does that effectively also unlock the sim lock?

Sorry for the weird questions and I know it doesn't seem like it's really S4 related, but I'll be getting an S4 soon so I thought it'll be a good idea to ask in here. More to the point, I'm worried about what it takes for me to get my new phone to the most potential. One thing I'm most concerned about is the SIM lock because there is a good chance I'll be traveling with this phone.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

As long as the ICS version is NOT 4.0.4.....

If it is, then you need to flash a "brickbug safe" kernel FIRST.......BEFORE you do any wiping....
