I ordered a PNY 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 Card including adapter for $36.56 from walmart.com today.

Just ordered the Sandisk 64 gig from Amazon for $74.99 total with prime free 2 day shipping. Also ordered 2 USB cables, one for work and one for the car. Woot.

Hahaha...Me neither. Good comedy though.

EarlyMon

Phonearena verified in their video review that it will take a 64 GB card, so it looks like you're all set!

ajbrickyard

Anyone have any good sources that compares memory card capacities and what you could actually fit on the card? (Like how many pictures or how much HD video?) I am trying to decide between a 32gb and a 64gb. I don't really plan on putting most of the files on my computer due to limited hard drive capacity so I will most likely keep everything on the memory card for now.

Will you see a difference between a class 6 and a 10? SanDisk 64 gb class 6 cards I found have been around $75-90. SanDisk 64gb class 10 cards I have found are like $105-120. Is it worth the extra 20-30 bucks to get the class 10?

Also, will a need to buy a memory card reader or will my Mac read the SD card fine when plugged in with the USB cable?

Sorry for the stupid questions.

Jceinc

This help?

I just bought a 32g on Amazon for under $20. It is a class 4. I have to give up my 16 in my EVO because I have seemed to lost my 8g that came with it. It is a sandisk and if it runs like my last one it should be just fine.

cheers

You're going to want to still back up the contents of your SD card if you can. It just takes your phone getting stolen, lost, or dunked in water for you to lose an entire year's worth of photos and memories. At a minimum, back them up to the cloud via Google+, or Picasa or something.

As for your other question, I can't speak for Macs, but for PCs, we have USB host and MTP, so in other words, yes on a PC you can plug the phone into the computer and it can read the card.

MandM

Thanks Jceinc and NeoteriX. One other question...if I don't get the SD card until a couple of weeks after I get the phone will I be able to transfer my photos/videos from my phone's internal memory to the SD card and then delete them off of my phone's internal memory? Can this be done via the phone itself? Is it a relatively easy process?

marctronixx

its a very easy process. use a file explorer app to do this...

MandM

Are these all paid apps or free ones are available?

So it's not necessary to have the SD card right at launch then? If I could wait to save up more $, I would rather get a case.

Damn it. Lol. First we are teased with no shipping info an now we are teased with you having the 64 gig card. Wait hold up. That's my card. I want it back.

On a side note I just checked Amazon and my card is being shipped by a company called Ensenada?&!.$&

Who is this company? Amazon usually uses UPS. I hope they are good. If not I am taking my card back and givin you a 1 gig.

MandM

Interested which seller you purchased it from on Amazon. I saw it on there from several different sellers.

I had a bad experience purchasing from Amazon when purchasing a SD card where the photo showed a certain class and I got a different class. This was from a 3rd party seller but fulfilled by Amazon (they had good feedback too). I also received it in just a clear case. No retail packaging. I returned it. I want to make sure it is going to be in retail packaging and not tampered with. Amazon has the cheapest prices so I would like to give it another shot.

marctronixx

The seller was "everything but stromboli"

Fullfilled by Amazon. I've been purchased several cards from Amazon over the years.

MandM

Will you see a difference between a class 6 and a 10? Is it worth the extra 30-40 bucks to get the class 10? How about when recording 1080p video?

Got mine from blue proton ( believe that is it) but fulfilled by Amazon. And it's just staring at me.

LatinP

This was debated way back when the OG Evo came out, I remember a big discussion about it on Bill's thread. The difference between a class 6 and a class 10 is really minimal but when we had he orginal chat we discussed class 4 and class 6 there was some lag when we did it back then with a class 4 but none at all with a class 6 and a class 10 was a rich man's Micro SD back then. I'd say you'll be fine with a class 6, I'm using a class 6 16gb I still have from when I got the OG Evo and it works flawlessly with no impact on performance.

I just want you all to know how much I'm starting to not like you. I couldn't stand that I have a 32GB card for a phone that can use a 64GB card. So what did I do?

Yea, you're a bunch of enablers.

crow11ad

Marctronixx started it. I was forced
To hit buy. But I do like how the part of the Sandisk 64 gig card is red and almost matches the kick stand Sort of like it belongs in the EVO.

$73 for a SanDisk 64gb class 6 without usb card reader
OR
$92 for a SanDisk 64gb class 10 with usb card reader

Could a class 10 card actually cause more problems than the class 6?

Anybody get the SanDisk class 10 64GB SDXC? So far I see everyone getting the class 6 SanDisk 64 GB SDXC. With the SDXC cards, when you reformat the card from exFAT to FAT32 do you lose speed, making it essentially a lower speed class anyways?

Your input is appreciated.
I gotta order this ASAP.

marctronixx

unless you plan to use the card in a high speed DSLR or the like, please do not get caught up in the speed/class of the card. just get a legit brand name card.

tp2386

So a class 4 card would not be a bad thing to buy if i'm just storing music and videos on it?

marctronixx

Absolutely not. The bottleneck will occur in the handset.

You can have a class 50 card but the final speed is determined by the handsets OS...

drexappeal

Pre-warning on the 64gb card...I put that card in my Photon and formatted the card through my phone. Up side was that it works perfectly while in my phone. Down side is that, when I took the card out of my phone and tried to use a microSD>SD adaptor to make some changes, it wouldn't read the card on my computer at all (when I placed that into the card slot).

tp2386

I heard that you need at least a class 6 card to record hd videos properly. Is this true?

marctronixx

i think i have a class 4 32 gb microsd card in the evo 3D and ive not ever had it give me any issues. i have the same card in the xoom tablet and it too does not have any issues recording video and/or playing it back.

seriously, do not read too much into the speeds of cards. the quality name brand cards on the market today are fast enough to run in handsets.

NZtechfreak

Interesting, mine formatted in my G Note works fine in a card reader...

BTW, 64GB cards confirmed working in the 4G LTE by users now - Fat32 required.

drexappeal

Yeah, very strange. Not sure what the issue is/was. It'll be a moot point for me anyway, cuz I'm going to end up re-formatting for whichever new superphone I decide to get, but just a PITA connecting the phone in order to transfer the data for my ringtones, pictures, music, and video.

PyroSporker

Sounds like your card reader (or computer - drivers) is not SDXC compatible. All card readers, adapters, and conversions are not equal. Imagine all the differences in configurations there could be...
Your reader or adapter is probably only for use up to SD or SDHC

https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/sdxc_capabilities/using_sdxc/

If I had an extra card reader I would have sent you one already since they are so cheap. Usually one comes bundled with the card. You can find one for a buck or two around the net.

drexappeal

You are the man, Pyro! Thanks for that 411.

I'm guessing it's the drivers. The card reader works fine cuz I tested it with my extra 32gb micro sd.

PyroSporker

So your reader/adapter is probably SD and SDHC only. Your drivers should be fine if you are on Windows 7.

32GB = SDHC (generally)
64GB = SDXC

That explains it. Unfortunately, still on vista. Just bought windows 7 upgrade, so have to make sure I back up programs I want to reinstall, before I get there.

PyroSporker

I guess it could be a Vista problem, or drivers.
My SDXC card works in my SDHC reader. My Win 7 computer hiccups at it, but it ends up working everytime.

This is the style reader I have (plugs right into USB slot - no adapters or conversions)

EvoGeek

I have a brand new 64Gb memory card and would like to know if I should partition it before using it in my new LTEvo or just format it in the phone and use as is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thefoodman52

That's up to you. I'd format it in-phone to guarantee it works before hand, but feel free to partition it as you want to.

marctronixx

as above, let the phone format it. no need to partition or do anything else extra.

jcommerce

FWIW, I did not have to format my SD for the LTEVO...just swapped it over from the OG and it was good to go...music, pics, and all.

marctronixx

FWIW, you DONT have to format at all. its just good procedure to let the phone format it so the phone can use the space as efficiently as possible.

its akin to doing a factory reset on a "just out of the box" handset.

drexappeal

If you haven't gotten one yet, andorama has the 64gb micro sdxc for 64.99

3vodroid

The 64 has been proven to be compatible I thought it was only up to 32? That's awesome

drexappeal

google 64gb and android phones. You'll see that even the og droid worked. Just need to format the card in the phone.

sikclown

Finally got my SanDisk 64gb card in and installed. When i first put it in it said it was a bad card but then I formatted it using the phone it it works perfectly.

KoukiFC3S

After inserting your sd card, make sure to go to storage, app storage location settings, update all, and pick storage card.

This will put the max amount of file in the SD, saving space in the internal memory for apps and whatnot.

drexappeal

Can you confirm that the app storage actually did move over to the external SD or if it moved to the internal storage? I'm not sure if anybody had confirmed how LTEvo is partitioned, but on the MoPho (which has same amount), I've never been able to move apps to the external SD.

2strokenut

I just got my El Tevo and can't find the option to format the SD card. This is my first ICS phone so I'm a little lost.

sikclown

Swipe down from the top of the screen and pull down the notification bar. Then press Settings in the upper right hand corner and scroll down and tap Storage. Then scroll down to Storage Card and choose Erase Storage card. If that is grayed out choose Unmount storage card first and then Erase.

2strokenut

There we go! Thanks!
