I bought my evo 3d today at radio shack and I was told that i cant use my class 2 32gb micro sd card from my evo. Is this true? Do I need to format my sd card first? I put the card in w/o formatting it and it read how much mem i had but nothing else was read. Did I do something wrong? Thanks

I think it has to do with the class. Not real sure on that though. Thought I saw somewhere that a class 4 was the minimum.

No, I'm not happy to see you, that's a Shooter in my pocket.

I have a 32gb class 2 and it works fine.

thats wat the rep said at radioshack that it was a minimum of class 4. But if others are having success with a class 2 32 micro sd card then i will try some other things again tonight.

The 8gb that comes with it is class 4 so the rep probably assumed class 4 was minimum.

you can use a class 2 but you might have issues with hd video capture and play back. class 2 is only a guaranteed transfer speed of 2MBps, which isnt much. granted cards will normally work faster but thats the speed you should expect.

I had trouble using a class 2 in my EVO 4g so I would imagine you would have jittery video play back on any video you record.

Im in need of 1 now I see them for 15.95 on E***.com not sure if that can be posted here. it's coming from Wembley, Middlesex, United Kingdom the seller has sold over 600 of them if anybody is interested. Not sure what class.

I would much rather spend the extra money and get a class 4 32gb card..

it will make no difference which class your card is unless you are RECORDING video. All the cards have a tremendous read speed but the write speed is what the higher class cards change. They are saying you need at least the class 4 to record 720p video and or 3d video. I work at best buy and get these questions all the time
