Sandisk 4GB MicroSDHC Memory Card with SD Adapter

I bought Sandsik 4G MicroSDHC card for LG 800G. The card worked well in the phone. I also tested the card and the SD adapter in my PC and the adapter worked well as well. The card and adapter came in bulk packaging as mentioned in title of the listing, this means in came in the plastic case enclosed in a plastic zip lock baggy. No blister pack. Overall, I am pleased with the memory card: good price and it works. Inserting memory into LG 800G had a couple tricky spots, so for other LG 800G owners I am including steps for inserting the SD Memory card into the phone. 1. SD memory card slot is located under the battery. This means that you first need to remove the cover by sliding it down. The first time I had to remove the cover it was a bit difficult, as the cover is very slippery and has no groves to hang on to. I finally was able to do it by using the grippy material used to open cans. The grippy material generated enough friction that the cover finally slid off. After removing the cover, you need to remove the battery. 2. The memory card slot is on the left side of the white SIM card. The gold bars on the card should face down towards the gold bars on the phone. The memory card goes under a metal holder. You need to lift the metal holder, place the memory card, and then lower the card holder, and push it down until it snaps in place. Note that lifting the holder for the first time requires some force. I used a tiny screwdriver to give me leverage to push it up. I am attaching a photo (which can be located by following 'customer photos' link under the main photo) which shows the holder in the up position, so you can see what you need to do to insert the memory card. 3. After the memory card is in place, you need to replace the battery and the phone cover, and power up the phone. 4. Now, you need to set your default memory to external, and tell the camera, the video recorder, and the voice recorder to use the external memory rather than the internal memory like before. 5. To set the default memory: - Tap the following sequence MENU - Settings - Phone - Memory Info - Primary storage settings - Tap on External memory (red check will appear) - There will be a FORMAT button at the bottom of the screen, tap on it - The phone will ask for a security code, enter 0000. Once you enter the security code, OK button will appear on the bottom of the screen. Click ok. Format takes about 1 second. 6. To set the camera: - Tap Camera icon on the main screen holding the phone vertically, turn the phone to horizontal position, as you turn you will see camera control setting appear on the screen. - Tap the gear icon which is on the lower left side of the screen. - The memory setting is on the second screen of camera settings, so you need to tap the slider on the right hand side (it will say 1/3, first page out of three) once you tap it will change to 2/3. - On the top row you will see a square called 'select storage'. By default it will look like a cell phone, once you tap it will look like a memory card. - Hit OK to save your change 7. To change the video camera: - Tap Camera icon on the main screen holding the phone vertically, turn the phone to horizon position, as you turn the camera controls will appear - Tap the gear looking icon on the bottom left - Now you need to switch from camera to video, which is done by sliding your finger from camera to video camera icon on the right hand side slider - If you do it correctly, you will see a red button appear where the video camera is. If you do it incorrectly, you will take a photo. It took me a few tries to get the pressure and location of where my finger slides correctly. - The storage setting is on the second page of the video camera, so you need to page down on the slider by tapping on 1/2. - Tap on 'Select storage' icon, and make sure you see a memory card, rather than the cell phone icon. - Click OK to save your change 8. To change the voice recorder - Voice recorder is on the second page of Settings. To get there select Menu - slide you finger right to left to page - tap on Voice recorder. - The top option is 'Storage', tap on it to change cell phone icon to memory card icon. - Click ok to save your change Ali Julia review

As we would have expected this works just as both my wife and I would have hoped in our Samsung phones. Access time is just like internal storage and the capacity is fine for what we need. That said we don't have too many photos to put on it some that may need higher capability than this you can go to SanDisk website to estimate the card size you need based on your file volumes.

Great price great idem

Wow its amazing how small a space you can cram 4GB of data into. You could hide this thing under a fake thumb nail. And you can get larger GB size 16,32,64 GB but it is the same size outside. How cool is that? You can put alot of data on 4GB. Music,video,text. For less than $5 with shipping I am amazed at what $5 can still buy. Works perfect. My phone sucked it up like candy, was an easy install. And my win 7 desktop auto created a folder for the phone and a mass strage device. I ordered on thursday after 5pm and it was in my mail box the next tuesday before noon. And it works great! Would be worth 10,15,20 dallars to me retail. You cant go wrong for less than $5. But it dont come in a retail package. Its a split bulk lot -into 1 unit packaging . You will get a first class envelope with no insutions or documents or retail packageing. Just a working SD card. Works for me! I dont need the fluff I just wanted the card.

Memory capacity grows every year. This card was what I needed at the time, and we've used this is so many devices at this point, I'm not sure if I know where it is today. However, I do know it's still working every time I move it to another device 10+ years later. These types of cards are a great way to save on the first cost of a device with less on board memory, and I've never been disappointed in this type of product from SanDisk. I've purchased a handful of these cards with different memory capacity, and I have never been disappointed. It's hard to find fault in a product that's completely reliable, inexpensive and solves real problems.

Hello! Its me again, for those who have read my other reviews! I Bought this so I could increase my phone memory card from 2 to 4 gigs. And I'm Glad I did! I was initially afraid it might be a fake card as I purchased two 2gb MicroSDs (to sell) from this seller that turned out to have the same serial number! But I had this one checked by SanDisk support by sending in photo's and the serial number on this card, and they verified much to my relief that this card was not fake but a genuine SanDisk product! However since there are some other sellers that have so far sent me NOTHING but GENUINE SanDisks not just 50% Genuine, I will buy from them 1st and only if they are out, will I buy from eTECH again. If you want to know, it's a class 4 card and comes with a small plastic case and SD adapter. Great working genuine SanDisk card, from a not always genuine seller. Good Luck purchasing a good card!

After reading both the good and bad reviews in here, I decided to do some research, and to be sure this 4GB micro SDHC card would be compatible with my LG Optimus V. It was and I placed an order. Product came quickly and in bubble-wrap. First thing I noticed when plugging it into my Ubuntu Linux 11.04 was it did not see the card what so ever. But when installing into my LG Optimus V phone and rebooting it, I was able to format the card just fine. I was then able to hot sync my phone with my Ubuntu Linux and start copying my music and videos over. Just for fun, I decided to download an app called SD Tool. I ran some simple bench mark tests and found that this micro sd card was averaging a 5.4 megs per-second write, and 10.7 to 10.4 megs per-second read. By the way, I'm fully Rooted and running BubbleBee 2.4 ROM and over-clocked to 804 Mhz. So speed test for others not rooted may see different results. As far as how long this micro sd card will last, only time will tell. For the price i paid, I feel I got my money's worth.
