SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 and S7 Edge will return to the support of microSD memory cards. How to use the memory card in Samsung Galaxy S7 as the built-in memory Samsung Galaxy S7 need a memory card
The fact of the presence of the new Galaxy S7 and S7 EDGE slot for memory cards probably pleased many of their potential owners. Each of these smartphones is completed with 32GB internal memory, but a significant part of these gigabytes is occupied by the operating system, Touchwiz and various pre-installed applications that S7 and S7 EDGE have a lot from start.
For example, in a 32-gigabyte Galaxy S7. About 22GB built-in memory is available to the user, from which, after installing several more "their" applications, the total gigabyte 15 remains.
Therefore, the ability to add more memory through the Micro-SD card (volume up to 200GB, by the way), where you can "merge" all pictures, video and programs turn out to be as it is impossible, moreover, just on the first day of using the smartphone.
For if in your own smartphone memory, leave all Asphalt 8, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Altos Adventure and other no less popular and exciting software products in the desired assortment, then regular 32GB ends in the blink of an eye.
In general, 200GB on the card (or even much more democratic 64GB) the problem of a place shortage for mobile applications in Galaxy S7 and S7 EDGE is eliminated forever (or for a long time). System and pre-installed programs leave on the built-in 32rs, and the entire luggage from Google Play "throw up" to the memory card. Fortunately, this procedure in the new S7 simplified extremely and time does not occupy a lot.
So, to move certain applications from the integrated memory on the MicroSD card in the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 EDGE smartphones, we do the following:
- we establish a MicroSD card to the appropriate slot and open " Settings »Smartphone;
- next Tapama "Device" -\u003e "Applications" -\u003e "Application Manager" ;
- in the list, select the application that you want to move to the memory card, tadam by name;
- next in the window " Information about the application" In chapter " Memory »We click the button" Change «;
- in the menu that appears, select " Memory card " and then - " Further "To launch the application transfer process. Like that:
After completing this procedure on the memory card, the freshly preceded application must start and operate in normal mode. But a couple of nuances remain.
Firstly If you turn off the map, then in the menu to the icons of all applications that are installed on it automatically add a mark pointing that they remained on SD. And, of course, without a memory card, all these applications in our Galaxy S7 can be launched.
Secondly If after transferring the memory card any of the applications began to work worse and / or slower, then in this case it can be moved back to the integrated memory of the smartphone. With the transfer procedure you are already familiar.
It would seem that difficult to buy a memory card. Determined with the desired volume, found a profitable offer and bought. It is because of this approach of users some manufacturers flagship smartphones with the ability to expand memory. If you have a microSD card at hand, take a look - how many things are written on it. It is this information that will help make the right choice.
This is a question from which to start. Imagine that you bought a new modern flagship smartphone with memory card support, for example, LG G4. Such a smartphone should easily cope with all the tasks, however, suddenly you notice that the camera and other applications of your smartphone work not as fast as you expected. This is possible if you use an insufficient memory card, which is saved by photos and from which your applications take. However, nothing prevents a lot of attention to the issue and choose that memory card with which the smartphone can delight you constantly.
What is the difference between SDHC and MicroSDXC?
When buying a memory card, you should pay attention to these large four letters, however, the difference between these two standards is only in the supported amount of data. SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) allows you to store up to 32 gigabytes of data, while SDXC (Secure Digital Extended Capacity) can work with 64 gigabytes and above. The problem is that not all devices support SDXC cards and such a large amount of memory. Specify information about the capabilities of your smartphone before buying a memory card by 64 or 128 gigabytes.
What does the memory card class say?
MicroSD memory cards can be 2, 4, 6 and 10 class, and this is what really pay attention to. These numbers denote the supported data transfer rate, and if the MicroSD memory card can record data at a minimum speed of 2 MB / s, then the 10-class memory card operates at a minimum of 10 MB / s. Not so difficult. It is important to understand that we are talking about the minimum recording speed, and with good memory cards, the speed of reading data can reach up to 95 MB / s.
What does UHS mean?
Another information about the memory card, which can be caught on your eyes, is UHS-1- or UHS-3-compatibility. Such microSD memory cards began to appear in 2009. In the UHS card, the data transfer rate of up to 321 MB / c can be maintained, however, it is necessary to navigate the minimum speed: 10 MB / s for UHS-1 and 30 MB / s for UHS-3. In fact, if you plan to use a card in a smartphone, you should not focus on this attention, smartphones do not support UHS.
What else is important to know?
It would be nice to purchase a memory card from one of the manufacturers who have deserved confidence, for example, SanDisk, or Kingston. It is also worth paying attention to the cost. If you suddenly found a suspiciously cheap memory card, you should take it wary.
Based on AndroidPIT.
Many of us pleased the fact that the new Samsung's flagship smartphones -, unlike their predecessors, received a microSD memory card slot, with which you can expand their built-in memory.
However, despite the fact that the new items are running the latest version of the Google operating system - Marshmallow, Samsung deprived the smartphone support smartphones - ADOPTABLE STORAGE, which allows you to use a memory card as the integrated smartphone memory. However, there is a way out of this position.
If you whatever you want to get support for ADOPTABLE STORAGE on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 EDGE, you can enable it on your smartphone yourself.
To do this, you need to fulfill several items of simple instructions that the other day PAUL O'Brien has published from Modaco. Here's how it looks like in Russian:
1. Make a backup of all data on your MicroSD memory card, since in the process of execution of the following steps, they will all be lost!
2. Decide whether you want to use the entire memory card as the integrated smartphone memory or only part it. In the second case, you can use the card and in other devices, but the author of the instruction recommends not to break the map on the part.
3. Activate the settings item on the smartphone and turn on USB debugging in it, then connect the smartphone using the USB cable to a computer with the AdB program pre-installed on it.
4. Run the command prompt window on the PC and execute the command in it.
aDB Shell.
after starting the ADB, enter the command:
sM List-disks
as a result, on the PC screen you will see something similar to this:
where disk: 179: 160 - This is your MicroSD memory card. In your case, numeric values \u200b\u200bmay be different.
5. We divide the microSD card to the sections. This uses the SM PARTITION DISK Type Ratio command.
For example, if you want to use the entire card as the integrated smartphone memory, you need to execute the command: sM PARTITION DISK: 179: 160 PRIVATEwhere instead of Disk: 179: 160 you need to substitute your disc name received in paragraph 4.
In order to use only half (50%) disk as the built-in memory, enter the command. sM PARTITION DISK: 179: 160 MIXED 50
6. Wait for the command, after which, in the smartphone settings menu, in the Memory section you will see that its built-in memory has increased due to the MicroSD card and the places for installing applications or games has become noticeably more.
Keep in mind that even the fastest current MICROSD cards work much slower than the built-in UFS flash memory installed in the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 EDGE, so the application or games card can be started and work is noticeably slower. It is for this reason that Samsung and removed the support of ADOPTABLE STORAGE on their new smartphones.
As you know, within all the options for Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, a "paired" tray is used, which initially allows you to install either two Nano-SIM SIM-SIM SIM cards or one SIM card and microSD card. This in some cases can create certain inconveniences, since the owner of the smartphone may want to use both two cards of cellular operators and the ability to expand the memory at the same time - still built-in 32 GB may be not enough, and more "capacious" options for Galaxy S7 Samsung Does not release.
However, the craftsmen noticed that the contacts of the MicroSD memory card and the second SIM card are in different places, so if you wish, they can be combined - and nothing prevents them from working at the same time. So this instruction appeared.
IMPORTANT: All of the manipulation described below you spend on your own risk, we do not bear any responsibility for possible damage that you can cause using the instructions below! The most great chances to spoil the SIM card to a lesser extent - MicroSD memory card.
We also keep in mind that the MicroSD memory card is no longer used with the most card readers and other devices method described in the manual.
Actually, instructions
What you need
- Nano-SIM SIM format SIM
- MicroSD format memory card
- Flashlight
- Sharp scissors
- Double-sided scotch or superchalter
- Some free time
1. Definition of the correct position of the SIM card
First you need to determine the correct position of the SIM card in the tray. Maps of different operators may have a different configuration of contacts. The author of the source instruction carried out operations on SIM cards U Mobile and Maxis (Malaysia) operators. On the one hand, all SIM cards have a key (cut angle).
U Mobile.
Maxis.
2. Disconnecting the SIM card chip from the base
Any SIM card consists of a plastic base and a microchip glued to it with a contact platform. Gently heat the SIM card from the opposite side (where plastic) is usually required to be required from 30 seconds to 1 minute. After that, carefully separate the chip with the contact pad from the base. You can use a sharp knife or razor blade as an auxiliary tool.
Actually, this is the most dangerous part of what needs to be done. Just in case it is useful to have a spare SIM card just in case. Or you will have to go to the office of the mobile operator.
3. Trimming SIM cards for installation on microSD
Now you will need to carefully cut the SIM card contact pad to accommodate on MicroSD. It is usually required to shorten it by 1-2 mm on each side.
4. Fix the SIM card on MicroSD
The most exciting stage - fixing the SIM card on the surface of the microSD memory card. You can do this with the help of two-way tape (then in the case of which the memory card can be "released") or the superclay (this option is less preferred, since if you damage the SIM card chip, then it will not be easy to separate it from the memory card). For proper placement, refer to the measurements made at the first stage.
P.S. We will not be surprised if some telecom operators will soon begin to offer prepared options for this type.
5. We place the modified MicroSD in the tray
Now it remains to place a modified MicroSD card in the tray, and the last one is in the smartphone.
If everything was done correctly, it will be something like this:
Source instructions in English.
In 1956, IBM 350 appeared, the first disk in the world. He was as big as a vending machine, and it cost more than the house, and only 3.75 megabytes were placed on it - the size of one song in MP3 format. Today, 60 years later, the smartphone can be stored several thousand times more data, and despite this, it is placed in the jeans pocket. The development of technology does not stand still.
Free space, one way or another, as usual to many users, and it becomes a problem. Smartphone memory is constantly clogged with gigabytes of applications, music, photos and video recordings. That is why many mobile devices manufacturers, including Samsung, LG and HTC, still allow you to expand the built-in memory using microSD cards. Use one of these cards is a simple and fairly cheap way to add free space Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 EDGE, LG G5 or HTC 10.
A huge number of microSD memory cards of various manufacturers are available on the market, and they all have different specifications. Search for the best for your gadget may be very difficult, so we decided to collect the most interesting and a little about them to tell.
1. SanDisk Ultra 200 GB
Our first recommendation is SanDisk Ultra on 200 GB. A card that has such a large amount of memory, of course, is not quite cheap, but you can store on it, for example, impressive 10 thousand songs in FLAC format. The read speed is 90 MB / s, and the recording 40 MB / s is quite enough to record 4K-video, but does not quite correspond to its price category.
2. SANDISK EXTREME PLUS UHS-I U3 Memory Cards
They are also not the fastest microSD cards on the market. The company has recently announced the UHS-II card line, which are able to provide read speed to 275 MB / s and 100 MB / s.
