Root Need help deciding on which micro sdhc card to get.

[go2vegas]

I just got my prevail and am happy so far. I am getting ready to root it. And thought maybe I should get a 16 GB card before I do. After browsing the forum this is the one I was thinking of getting. After seeing others had luck with it. Newegg.com - Patriot LX Series Class 10 16GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model PSF16GMCSDHC10 (16GB)

It is a Patriot LX series class 10 16 GB card. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

That's the same card I have and it's works just fine. I wasn't getting 10 write speeds w/ my prevail, I was getting between high 6's and 8's. I think it was the phone though because I'm getting write speeds of 11 and up on my Marquee. Overall it's a great card for the $. I only ended paying $9.95 for it after a mail-in-rebate which is awesome. I think you'll be happy with it.

I'd say go for the card. But if you can afford it go for the bigger card. It'll cost more but it'll be worth it. I have a 16gb card and once in a while I run out of space... Yeah. I know too many songs and pictures and nandroid backups...

But a 16gb card is plenty space... unless you're a packrat.

I agree Kolosus. 16g is plenty of space. I've only used 18% of mine and there's a lot on it.

This is what I've been using for the last 2 months, excellent speed and a great price. GSkill 32 GB class 10. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231577

Guys, the card he is looking at is $13.99. lol. It a helluva deal on a 16GB card, period. I've got 1 of them and it has never given me any problems. It gives me write speeds of 11-15 on my Marquee which is great. I say BUY IT.

I just went ahead and ordered it.
I just really needed a card that would get me some more internal memory. I think 16 gigs will be plenty. Plus I am cheap And if it's good enough for wetbiker. That pretty much sealed the deal!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

I think you'll be happy with it. Wyelkins and I bought one at the same time. He was pretty happy with his also.

So I just got the card and am ready to install it. I was thinking I would just attach phone to p.c. Then copy all stuff on old card to a folder. Then unmount old card put the new one in and copy all stuff to new one. Is this how to do it? I was confused to see 20 different folders. That I had no clue as to what most were. Being a noob I was thinking if new card doesn't have some of these folders it may not turn on lol! Btw I used app 2 sd to transfer any apps I could onto the old card (if this makes a difference). I only have 5 or 6 apps currently on the old 2 GB card. And wouldn't mind uninstalling them and reinstalling after root.


Once the new card is in. I am ready to try rooting. After reading through what seems like all the root threads 2 or 3 times. I think this walk through is what I am going to try. http://androidforums.com/galaxy-pre...od-rooting-prevail-dummies-written-dummy.html

Any suggestions on another one to follow? Just want to make it as simple as possible and get most up to date path to take.

I can't wait to learn a lot about this phone so I can try to help others out.
I appreciate all you guys helping me! I only participate in one other forum about Las Vegas and really enjoy helping others there.

Thanks

It was as easy as I thought to install new card. Just copied old stuff and pasted into new one. I was just to paranoid about screwing something up! Now I am off to the rooting for dummies.

See you all over there. If it goes as easy as putting in the card. It will be fabulous.

Thanks

I have a Patriot SD card in my Thrive and it works very well. It's not the same type of card but I like the brand.

That's a great price. Might have to get some for my phones.

 

[go2vegas]

The price was definitely right. I was surprised to see it only got 3 eggs on the reviews. But everyone here seems to have had good luck with it. And newegg free shipping is usually fast.
