First time, long time here, but I went to Fry's last week and bought the Wintec 16gb microSDHC C10 and this is how it's been generally been performing:

Sequential Read : 19.037 MB/s

Sequential Write : 15.754 MB/s

For $30, you can't beat that...

UPDATE:

Okay, this card has failed me once as of yesterday. Not sure what caused it, but I had to purchase a recovery program because some of the files I hadn't backed up in a couple weeks. BUMMER. Well, at least I have the software in case it happens again! I'll give this card one more shot. Will update if it craps out again...GL!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] vw671:
Now only if they came out with a 32GB version I would be set.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] crose948:
if you guys have a micro center any were close

they sell there brand of sd cards and you can get a 16 g for @ 30. bucks,,and a 32 g for @ 45 bucks

Got a Class 4 16 GB TopRam MicroSD card from Amazon for $29 (including shipping).

No complaints so far. My old iPod is now officially tossed. :cool:
[myTouch 4G Accessories] imabrokendownload:
Class 10 is too fast for the phone. It may seem better in theory but the phone can't read and write that quickly
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
What do you mean, too fast? Would it cause problems to use a class 10 card in the phone? If so, what class should be used for best results?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] rojovilla:
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out where you got that information about not being able to read/write that fast. HTC? Here? Please detail. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
I'm especially concerned, because I just shelled out a hundred bucks for a class 10 32gb card, and I don't want to waste that money if its not a useable product with this phone.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] moneybagels:
I'm pretty sure imabrokendownload means that the phone can't reach Class 10 speeds so buying a Class 10 card is a waste of money since your speed will be throttled by the phone anyway. Your card will still work of course, just not reach the Class 10 speeds, so buying a Class 6 card (for example) will prove the same in terms of functionality, just cheaper.

Now I don't know if the phone not being able to reach those speeds is true or not, I'm just explaining what I believe he means.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] imabrokendownload:
He's right by what I meant. When I originally posted it was 4 am so a bit of drowsiness alters wording. Thanks for clarification on my behalf moneybagels.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
oh.. ok, lol. no biggie. Just glad to know i didnt COMPLETELy waste 100 bucks
[myTouch 4G Accessories] STHNS:
As stated c10 is actually waste due to your device being SD2.0 which will never go over c6 via usb mount or actual mSD usage in device you can however use card reader to unleash it.

ATM I have Kingston 32GB Class 4 MicroSDHC got it when it first came out for like 150. You can pick it now of newegg for $100. Some still debates Sandisk C2 vs Kingston C4 as SanDisk does have superior quality.

My review of this card is it has slow minimal write speed below Sandisk's but however due to how it was allocated it reads 2x faster than SanDisk. So this card is worth it if you are looking for upgrade.

^ old post of my might be helpful to folks who is looking to buy mSD and buying "Real" one don't be scammed buy it and test it make sure its real.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
thanks for the tip about the card reader :) the one I ordered comes with one, Ill make sure to put it to use when loading it, then. As for my comment, i meant more that Im glad that it would not cause problems using the card in this phone (unlike the last 32gb MicroSD piece of garbage I got... didnt know Mom had gotten it off ebay for my christmas gift till it failed after a day).
[myTouch 4G Accessories] STHNS:
lol what you got was THE notorious chinese fake. When shopping for mSD one shall never buy it from eBay the warning is always given by people like yourself who fall victim to it. This is why you should "only" buy card from reputable dealers. Hence when SanDisk 32GB Class 2 was the only card out TopRAM already came out with Class 6 when no other dealer had it so its another fishy BS. This is why I waited for Kingston Class 4 for 5-6months and I was happy I got it. Sandisk and Kingston is the only one I trust not even AData or Transcend.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
Yeah, well she didn't know that. And it was a "Kingston" card, it was just a very clever fake.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] STHNS:
Dude how much did she pay? Open dispute on eBay and contact the seller see if you can return it and get money back via paypal. Now if the delivery costs more than the actual item then don't waste time. But I am guessing 40-50? In that case go get your money.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jriv:
So what is the best class for our phones if a class ten wont run any faster then a lower class.

Sent from my icey cold glacier 4g freezing every phone in its path
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
Don't worry, we did
[myTouch 4G Accessories] imabrokendownload:
Class 6
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
Do they actually make a class 6 32gnarled card?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] STHNS:
Not from reputable dealer. Thus IMO no as I won't trust my data with any unknown vendor even if mSD is thoroughly checked the basic IOPs rate and verify the data allocated is not corrupted along with actual applicable size of the card itself. ATM if you are looking for 32GB go with name you trust and company who actually runs on PR itself like SanDisk 32GB Class 2 or Kingston 32GB Class 4. They are both perfect for MT4G as you are "NOT" running AOSP from mSD or doing total video even 720P HD video is fine on Class 4.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] setzer715:
I bought the Patriot 32GB Class 10 card. It works great and from testing I have done, it read and writes faster than my Class 6 and Class 4 cards. I used flash memory test app from the market on the phone and used flash memory test software on my PC plugging my phone into the computer (NOT using a card reader) and I had write speeds around 12Mbps (11.5 on phone app and 12.5 on pc software) and read speeds around 17Mbps (16.5 on phone app and 17.5 on pc software). I tested it 4 times with PC software and had zero errors.

Patriot, although new to flash memory, is very reputable memory company. I bought a USB flash drive from them (4GB class 6) 4 years ago and it still works as perfect as day one. Just my .02.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Amd4life:
where did you find a 32gb class 10 card for sale at, Id like a bigger card personally, im tired of fake cards from ebay
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Global-CoN:
You can buy it from NewEgg they are selling for $99. Its not fake its legit as setzer715 said Patriot is well known in memory world but they are some what new in the flash business. Never heard of Patriot? :O

This is HKM (HyperNodeSTHNS) btw stay away from SanDisk 32GB Class 2, Kingston 32GB Class 4. Go buy Patriot LX 32GB Class 10. I have it and I can also verify they are legit and it works good.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jentzschman2000:
Have not been able to find a great selection of 32gb class 6 micros on newegg.

Any other place to find em?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
They don't make any 32gb class 6 cards yet, at least none from a reputable company. That's why I bought the class 10 from patriot, which is on newegg.com.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Deuces:
I bought the Wintec 32gb Class 10 from Newegg.com

[myTouch 4G Accessories] whoamanwtf:
Ok so just for a definitive answer, which card should I get? I want faster speed but am mostly wanting 16 gb and under 40 bucks right now I think I have a class 2... cause they kinda boned me at tmobile and I said I waned to keep my data of my old card and they just kept the new card!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
Not a problem
[myTouch 4G Accessories] defiantbeast:
I was looking at getting the patriot 32gb class 10 but this seems like a good deal how much free memory did you get out of the card when you first got it. And is it lagging when you play a video or look thru your photo gallery

[Nook Color General] Wordsmith9091:
Anyone else have a problem with sound just failing to play after a while of use?

My NC will just go silent -- then trying to use most app settings directly related to sound (like the volume slider in the settings tab) will cause long enough freezes to get the "wait or force close" dialog.

I've rooted my Nook and sideloaded a lot on it, but this was happening before I did any of that as well.
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
I had the same problem along with a few from another forum. It's a known defect so return it to B&N while you can. They should swap it out with no issues (they did for me, at least). I'd advise doing a factory reset before though since you've rooted it.

funny thing

the other day i messed up nv_data.bak trying to get my old product code back

the phone would not recognise the sim card

i deleted the whole /efs folder and the phone made a new one

i got my imei but no product code

sim card started working everything looked ok appart from sgs tools reporting nothing as phone !?!

i did restore /efs from a backup i had and then my product code came back

weird though

I was on jpo when all this happened
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
I guess you find it entertaining if people messed up their IMEI, well we all have our kinkiness.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Candanga:
@EarlZ - I myself was a victim of this, but I managed to make a duplicate of my nv_data.bin as per instructions of the guide that I was following to unlock my SGS.

The only "tip" that I can give you (geez.. Im going against my own disclaimer lol :rolleyes:) is to try to flash it back to JM1 or the earliest release of your mobile. I think I remember to get my IMEI back doing this, but then lost it flashing to a newer ROM. AGAIN, my "research" didn't go past this as I managed to get my IMEI back, reason why I got inspired to throw this little guide. :)

Hope this can get you started on your IMEI recovery journey.

Cheers mate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ingineru:
The restore should also be done with tar - in this way you won't lose the permissions on the files.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gtg2:
Thanks for the HowTo.

I ended up deleting my nv_data files in order to restore the backup files to get back the orig product code. As far as I can tell, it worked perfectly.

busybox rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5

In case you really boink your EFS

I wanted to add a small piece to this thread that not really consolidated anywhere I can fine. I toasted my /EFS yesterday - to the point of no cellular unless I was at JF6. I couldn't use tar because I'd get "out of room" errors and "numerical value out of range". I mean I SERIOUSLY borked the /EFS. But then I've been flashing this phone from the day it was available from AT&T.

I used ODIN to restore my /EFS. I have a permanent generic IMEI.

There are several good threads on backup of the /EFS, but not on restoring. If you follow the OP post to backup, here's a good discussion on how to restore.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882039

What wasn't clear in Da_G's thread is the you don't have to use DD to use ODIN to restore. There's no discussion on using the .img file to restore. That's scattered across a couple of threads and lots of reading. I'm not a linux guy, so I had to figure this out. . . .:eek:

Deep in rotohammer's following thread, there is a discussion about using a cat .img file to do create an ODIN .rfs file that allows you to restore from ODIN.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850359

So here's what I did to restore my /EFS to functional. You MUST have a backup of your functional /EFS using either dd or cat and ADB installed.

On your PC do the following:

c:\Android\tools> adb shell

$ su (you're now on your phones Android command line; watch your home screen on the phone in case Superuser comes up asking for permission)

#

Now we're going to take the efs_folder_backup_stl3.img that you did with the cat file and make it usable by ODIN. Change directory locations to your cat .img location. Mine is on /sdcard/external_sd/.

#cd /sdcard/external_sd/

#busybox cat efs_folder_backup_stl3.img > /sdcard/efs.rfs (this is the key step!!)

# cd /sdcard

# tar -cf efs.tar efs.rfs

# exit

$ exit

Now your back at your PC. Do the following step to get the .tar file off your phone.

c:\Android\tools> adb pull /sdcard/efs.tar

Almost done. Move the efs.tar file to the same direction as ODIN and the follow the last directions in Da_G's thread. I'll post them below for just for clarity.

"Now, get into download mode, open odin, stick efs.tar in PDA slot, and press start. Bam! EFS fixed"

This worked for me, several times. Once you have the /EFS directory in ODIN flashable tar format - you really have to work hard to brick your phone.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bsc7080xsc:
If I flash back to stock using ODIN, would that also put things back to right ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cellgeek:
@bsc7080xsc

It should. You might have to do a factory reset if the device shows as locked, but otherwise it's worked for me many times.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fuma:
Hi

backedup my efs folder through this thread in combination with roto.

cellgeek in your post you say : " busybox cat efs_folder_backup_stl3.img > /sdcard/efs.rfs (this is the key step!!)"

But i never made an .img file/folder.

both the dd and cat created an rfs file which i turned to tar.

am i missing a step?

Today I screwed my IMEI upgrading to MIUI 2.3.4, cause the OS loaded a wrong nv_data.bin and failed to back-it up properly. I followed the same steps posted here and got it working [and several other times I messed the nv_data] :)

When you first reboot after replacing the nv_data.bin and deleting the md5 hash, the phone will reboot (if you have the SIM card in), it won't ask for your SIM code. You validate the IMEI by using the: [busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin] string. I am not familiar with the other one you posted about changing the group, why would you want to do that?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darcia:
Sorry for the new-be question... But, I back-up the /efs folder with a root explorer, and I don't change anything, juste put this on my computer in a safe place. If I crash my /efs folder on the device, could I just put my efs-save from the computer to the device and paste it in /efs with a root explorer?

I am having the I9003. I followed this post and made a copy of the /efs folder. i got a tar.gz file which is only about 35Kb, is this correct? Tried both methods, using ADB and Terminal Emulator.

The img file made by the above code is about 6Mb, is this also okay?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cadusir:
First, thank you.

Second, because all the other files in efs folder are like this:
