hopefully you won't be unlucky with that, but i really wouldn't be buying memory cards (cheap or otherwise) off ebay.Got my cheap eBay Class 10 64GB memory card in the post today - 96GB should last me a while
there's a very good chance that you haven't got a class 10 card. there's also a very real chance that, despite what it says on the packaging and card and despite what the system says is the size of the card, that it is a fake 64gb card and may only be as little as 2gb in size in reality.
the first thing i would do if i was you, would be to download H2testw from here and test it: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/H2testw.shtml
better to find out for sure before you start saving precious memories to it and expect them to all be there when the time comes and find out that they aren't.
ebay is flooded with dodgy memory cards because they are dirt cheap to produce in bulk and cheap to sell and by the time most people realise they have already left their positive feedback and will quite often not chase up a dodgy card even if/when they do figure it out as it's not worth the hassle financially.
stick to places like 7dayshop, mymemory, memoryc, even dabs or elara etc. but steer clear of ebay for memory cards for your own good.
the last time i got a dodgy memory card off ebay was years ago when 2gb SD cards were the best thing since sliced bread. it was supposed to be a sandisk class 10 and i got it from a UK based platinum power seller. but it was fake. i questioned him about it and at first he denied it, then made up a story about it being a one off error from his supplier. neither ebay nor paypal were bothered as he was offering to refund me, so i went to sandisk and they were also very 'meh' about the whole thing, so i dropped it in the end, but caveat emptor. now i stick to reputable online retailers who i've dealt with before and i know only sell the real deal.0 -
I appreciate the warnings, and I'll have a look at that link tomorrow and see. As it is I've already got 4GB of music, 2GB of photos and a bunch of app's transferred across to it and I can't say I'm seeing any delay in accessing files compared to those on the phone itself. I've gotten a good few memory cards/sticks off eBay in the past (16gb Sandisk arrived in the post yesterday :pac:) and *touch wood* so far I've not had anything to complain about. Class 10 cards for the camera work as fast as I'd hope, and the capacity of any cards bought for the phones has always been accurate.... really useful advice ...
I'll check it out though as so far all of the files are still on the laptop/online so even if it expired I wouldn't actually lose anything. But best play it safe before there's more valuable memories on there. 0 -

well it is the 4G update, but it's broken my data connection.
weird thing is, I can do a speedtest fine, but no other data works at all.
no dropbox, no email, no web browsing.
if I disable the LTE option in the phone it works fine again, so I imagine they're still working on getting everything set up properly?
still, not bad with (only just) 2 bars.
Had to hold it up to the window to get more than one where I am, so that's a pretty good result considering.
will have to find out where the nearest mast is to do a proper test. 0 -

Because I have a few and I didn't think they'd work so never bothered transferrring them. 0 -

yep, although if it's a 2.5" laptop sized hard drive rather than a USB key or 3.5" desktop USB HDD (which is powered externally), you may not be able to provide enough power to spin it up. I'm actually not sure if the usb3 port on the bottom of the note 3 would be able to supply enough power or not, but if it were usb2 it would be a definite no no, so you may have to do some digging to know for sure.Vinz Mesrine wrote: »This kind of connection?
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/USB-3-0-A-Female-to-USB-3-0-Micro-B-Male-Adapter-Connector-Converter-/150864044709?pt=UK_Computing_USB_Cables&hash=item232032a2a5
Basically i want to completely bypass the need for a laptop, i have an External HDD full of movies. I want to be able to just transfer them to the phone as and when i want to watch them via streaming through the PS3.
*but* even if it could push enough power to a USB HDD to power it, I can't imagine the battery in the Note 3 would last very long doing that.
another option would be one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Patuoxun-Multi-functional-Connection-Adapter-Samsung/dp/B00E7NW1QM/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1384247336&sr=1-1-fkmr2&keywords=%22hdmi+connection+kit%22+android
it has ports for full sized HDMI out (for playing stuff from your phone directly onto your TV), micro & regular SD slots, a full sized USB and a microUSB for 5v DC power so you can use a USB hard drive and power it via the dongle to transfer stuff to your phone.
the only real caveat is that you will most likely need to have your phone rooted to allow you to install an app with NTFS support for mounting NTFS formatted hard drives as it does not seem to be natively supported in Android as far as I can see.0 -

It has a power supply. Apologies for all the questions, I don't have a clue about things like this.0 -

lol, i never noticed that, i wonder what the chances are?
Also, i managed to (again, just about) get 3 bars of 4G in blanchardstown yesterday lunchtime which gave me a much better speedtest result.
i wonder how high it would go with full bars?0 -

don't feel too bad, all I have been able to do with it so far is speedtests, nothing else data related works on 4G so far, so i have it disabled.Vinz Mesrine wrote: »I still haven't got a 4g connection0 -

One person out of thousands. If there were issues everyone would be on here complaining. Anything could have happened while updating, power fluctuation, virus on phone etc. Works fine for me and 4G was working for me on 2 bars. Didn't do a speed test yet though.0 -

A valid point - so I ran the update yesterday morning. Saw 4G data connection in Cork city last nightFrostyJack wrote: »Why are you afraid? Perfectly good update. Have 4G access now and annoying pop up is gone. What is not to like? 0 -
