Hey guys. I just got my new Micro SDHC 16GB Class 10 card. Yes class 10.

I copied everything from my stock HD2 16GB SD, Everything. Right into my new Wintec 16GB Micro C10. and then reboot to Android. Everything seems to be running smooth and fine. But I do have one weird issue. Sometimes it takes a little while to wake up from standby. When I hit the Wake button the key lights turn on, but screen wont. Most of the time it wakes right up, but sometimes it doesn't. Others I'll hit it and the screen stays black and if I touch the screen then it wakes up and I can slide to unlock.

Wasn't like this before. Is this the card going to sleep, or is something not right? or Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions. I'm thinking I might format the card in Android (so it's properly formated) and then recopy everything over.

The only thing that's ever done this for me is SetCPU profiles, I've been on the stock 16gb that came with my HD2 and it wakes up just fine with the right SetCPU profile.

What kernel and which scaling are you using? It might be interacting with the SD card a little differently. Have you run Quadrant? although quadrant scores are usually meaningless you can use them for some information. Your I/O score should be a lot higher on the new card if it is actually faster. I have heard of name-brand class 2 significantly outperforming generic/cheap class 6 cards.

I've said this many times, my stock class 2 outperforms my class 4 8gig by a mile. With the class 4, I often can't get it to work properly at all. I having clue why this is though, and nobody seems to have an explanation. Sorry man, just the way things are.

Well, I didn't buy a no name card. Wintec is not a no name brand. They've been around longer than A-Data, Transcend, Patriot. All of those. lol but I see your point.

I'll run Quad n see, but things seem to have improved a little bit after my 3rd reboot. but sometimes it still does it. I'm using smartass governor on SetCPU

If you didn't change anything, then it sure as well be your SD card. If you really want to make sure it's your card, start the entire android build from scratch and see if you still get that same result. if not, then there you go. If yes, then its the card (Assuming everything worked perfectly before you made the copy/paste from your old card to your new one).

Class is not everything. High class only mean high write and read speed to large block transfter, but android need a lot of small block transfter.
You can use ATTO to test your SD's speed. you can find Sandisk's TF will be 10 times faster than Kingstone for small block. but they maybe the same speed for large block.

You can try to buy one Sandisk's mobile ultra micro-sd, it's best SD to run android.
