apexcell - thank you for all the info, I found it to be helpful and quite informative.

I mostly use my microSDXC Samsung card for storing music, video and photo files. Since my LG G3 has 32GB of ROM (24.70GB available), I didn't choose the option of installing apps to the external SD card. However I did put my system backup on there. I have 55 apps installed and still have 20.51GB of ROM to use of the 24.70 freely available on the internal ROM. I believe that will be good enough.

I am definitely not an Android uber geek to say the least! :) I am learning though. I've only had Android smartphones for about 2 years.

Started out with a Chinese brand: STAR N9500, then had a Chinese Lenovo K860i for a few months, then bought a Chinese Zopo ZP998 which I liked but then AT&T changed some of their 3G frequencies which caused me to lose the 3G service. ( I live in Austin TX, it was an interesting fact that when I went to the US East Coast last October once I left the Austin metro area my 3G connection was working again. So it must have been only in Austin TX and also the Dallas TX metro area which I went through on the way back.) At first, last August when the 3G went down in Austin I thought it was a hardware issue with the phone itself. These issues occurred with Straight Talk first, then I switched to Cricket... same issues. A couple of weeks ago I found an excellent buy on Ebay for an LG G3 D850 phone for $340. It was listed as being in "pristine" condition and it was! Looked like it had never even been unboxed, no scratches, dents, dings, scuffs, etc. So I was a very happy camper! I now have a 4G LTE connection through Cricket. I was able to sell the previous phones on Ebay for rather decent prices.

I like the XDA website because I am able to learn a lot about the Android OS, and pick up tips, tricks and other useful info.

Time to step down from the proverbial podium... :cool:

anyone try toshiba TR card ? is it good for G3 ?
After checking out it's specs seems like a good card. I'm sure you meant a TF card... ;)

Here's a link to StorageReview dot com to read their review on a Class 10 64GB card: http://www.storagereview.com/toshiba_microsd_class_10_uhsi_review

Should work alright with the LG G3.

I wonder why 128gb sticks aren't coming down in price ? 64gb prices are falling, yet 128 remains high.
Last week, the PNY P-SDUX128U1-GE 128GB UHS-1 micro SDXC cards were $79.99 shipped at Amazon. They've gone up a bit, but it does seem like the prices are falling slowly.
