In regards to having more storage than you think you need, get reliable memory cards. No store brand junk. I've been using this Sony memory card for weeks now and it's excellent. Very fast, apparently is waterproof (haven't tested that), and just works. That is something you don't want to skimp on. I have 2 32GB of those, 1 Lexar 32GB (which I don't particularly like, it makes my T2i buffer a lot, I usually use it in my B roll camera), 1 SanDisk 32GB (usually goes in the b roll cam), and 1 16GB Kingston card (backup for whatever camera fills up all the memory).
Just wanted to let you know that my SD card came in the mail today. I did the transfer as I suggested with absolutely no problems at all. This is the SD card I bought btw.

Idk if there are better ones out there, but yeah.
I want to buy a 32GB, because $17 for one cant be beat. Buy my question is, will that one will work with the 3DS and XL(s)?
Talking about this one
Thanks for this step-by-step! However, I have a quick question. I am a new 3DS owner, and am just going to go ahead and install a 32GB SD Card in the beginning so I won't have to worry about it later. Will it work if I do it right off the bat before booting up?
If it helps, this is the one that I purchased through Amazon:
I'm buying an SD card for my 3DS soon and I'm wondering if this one will work fine? http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Class-Memory-SF32UY-TQMN/dp/B00B7ID99I
I've never had to deal with SD cards before so I don't know much about them. I have an original 3DS if that matters.
This is the one I was talking about. If you don't have Prime all you have to do is sign up for the trial for like a dollar. Still cheaper than Best Buy and 2 day shipping vs standard.
Do not delete Animal Crossing. Unfortunetly to prevent people from cheating, the game does not support the save backup tool.
Honestly your best bet is to just buy a bigger SD card. I have the 64 GB version of this card and it works great. This one is a 32 GB for $15.99.
Ah I see. Well it should come with a 2GB SDHC card, so you'll have plenty of space to begin with. However if like me you like downloading loads of demos, buying loads of downloadable games, adding loads of music and taking loads of photos/videos, then you will probably want to upgrade. You can get a 32GB one for $18 which is probably all you will ever need.
If you just got your 3DS I would wait before upgrading. Only some of the newer retail downloads really take up space, most of the small eshop or Virtual Console games and other data take up small amounts of blocks.
Animal Crossing is on the small side at 6,000 blocks while at the other end is Donkey Kong Country Returns 17,693 blocks and Resident Evil Revelations 25,795 blocks. 1GB is around 8,000 blocks.
I'm not sure about the Scandisk Extemes but a few people had problems getting their ultra cards to work. If you are looking for a good cheap card this sony card is $24.
Also keep in mind a 32GB card is actually 29.8GB and a 16GB card is 14.9GB.
if anyone is trying to get the 32 gb sd card, Sony also has had one up on amazon for a couple bucks cheaper than the sandisk one
I'm using a Sony SDHC Class 10 UH-1 and haven't had any issues so far. laank
A lot of it depends on your purposes. JPEG is certainly more convenient but allows you much less manipulation ability during post processing. RAW allows a lot of flexibility and will allow you to bring out colors you didn't even know were there, though, of course, all that info has to be stored somewhere and it takes a lot of memory to do it. If you're only using the provided Nikon editing software I think you should be OK with JPEG and maybe take a couple RAW shots to practice with. If I remember right the included software is pretty limited in what it can do.
I would recommend investing in Adobe Lightroom when you can. If you know anyone who's in college ask them to buy it for you online/in store and it goes down to somewhere around $80 with the student discount (can only purchase with a .edu email or student ID). It is by far the most versatile program I've used to edit photos and it makes sorting and working on them super easy. Before I had gotten it I had worked with Photoshop plenty but the workflow is INCREDIBLY slow. You will be able to work about 25x faster with Lightroom and have a better format in which to edit.
If you decide to start shooting RAW I would also recommend getting both an external hard drive and some upgraded SD cards. The external drive will allow you to backup your photos so you don't lose them as well as allowing you to clear off your working hard drive on your computer. Upgraded SD cards were a thing I didn't even know about until recently. I got a pair of 32GB class 10 SD cards online for about what you pay for 8-16GB in store. The cards in store are usually like class 4. The difference is that upgraded cards can read and write data MUCH faster which allows you to shoot faster as well as download the files. On my old cards I might shoot 300 photos and the import would take 30 minutes or more. New card can handle it in about 3 minutes.
Verizon is the real kicker here, as they typically don't play well with others (refusing to whitelist devices they can't control) and thus manufacturers don't have a reason to make "universal" CDMA & GSM devices with all the requisite radios. Even the Nexus 5 that can cross over to Sprint won't go near Big Red. Your proposed Nexus 6 is the big exception to this rule (though you still have to trick Verizon into accepting the device), and its universality is part of the reason it received so much fanfare at launch. Great choice, and feel free to ask me any questions you have about Shamu, as I'm currently using it as my daily driver.
Because of Verizon's lack of compatible selection, my advice is to instead give your wife's Thunderbolt a shot in the arm and wait until the carrier switch to upgrade. You mentioned that the phone isn't doing so well right now; would you mind elaborating on the biggest concerns? $6 to $20 will get her a new (and larger) battery through Amazon, and Sony's microSD card range is all heavily discounted today, including this 32GB model for under $16. Replacing parts is mostly painless. If it's a software bug or the processor showing its age when tasked with running newer games, there are ROMs and resets you can try... but I'm guessing you're already on top of that given your use of CM.
When it comes to new devices, a lot depends on your price point and target carrier(s).
The /r/Nexus5 (no longer in stock on Play, but still available elsewhere) works with every carrier except Verizon, and is a good low-cost device that gives you the flexibility to jump ship for cheaper plans when/if they become available. If buying used, make sure to find one originally purchased from the Play Store so that all carriers will have its IMEI whitelisted. Also, check for a clean IMEI/ESN to make sure outstanding bills are paid, the device wasn't stolen, and thus you won't have trouble with blacklists. The battery isn't the best (and does have a finite lifespan), but replacement is still an option if you don't mind getting your hands (a little) dirty. For an easier fix, there's a new Kickstarter that packs an external battery and microSD card slot into a bumper case.
Then there's the /r/Nexus6, but you've already done your research on that one.
If you're looking forward to the carrier-hopping nature of the Google Nova service, I would stick with the two Google phones - they have all the necessary radios, easily modified firmware, and are likely launch candidates.
T-Mobile-only opens up your options a bit (as would AT&T). The OnePlus One can give you a clean Nexus-like experience at half the cost (if you're lucky enough to get an invite), and works on both GSM carriers. Every Motorola phone produced this year is top notch, with the Moto E and G being crowd favorites for the budget conscious. LG also has some great handsets at the lower end of the spectrum, but it would be helpful to know what you're looking for in terms of price, camera, battery, storage, etc., before narrowing down the field and really making a case for one device over another.
As you said, the HTC flip clock has many copycats on the Play Store, some of which are very convincing. Be sure to run the full permissions through the creep test before installing (scroll to the bottom and click "permission details" instead of reading the abbreviated list in the "install" popup), but this sounds like a great option.
Also for your consideration:
You mentioned both T-Mobile and Google Nova (Sprint + T-Mobile) in your post, so I'm obligated to at least point out /r/Ting: the original Sprint + T-Mobile MVNO.
Depending on your average use, the rates are incredibly competitive (I personally dropped to an average bill of $20 after switching from the grandfathered unlimited plan you're on now). No contracts, same coverage (Sprint | T-Mo) and device selection as on the parent carriers, and far superior customer service (about which I could ramble for days - they're the only company I actually enjoy calling for help, yet I never need to).
As a bonus, there are hundreds of $25 referral codes floating around the net (including mine: https://zcb74a36ao8.ting.com/) that practically pay for your first month's service, but you should definitely ask around to your friends and family first because both you and the referrer get the bonus.
The best-bang-for-your-buck Ting-able Sprint phones right now are the Nexus 5, LG Volt, Sharp AQUOS Crystal, and Motorola Moto G (Boost Mobile version | Sprint Prepaid version), but the main list is here with the majority of unofficially supported ones listed in this post from the subreddit.
But like I said, it would be helpful to know:
- what you're looking for in a carrier
- the importance you place on being able to take your phone from carrier to carrier with you
- How passable the Thunderbolt is for the near-term
- and what features you need in your new device
I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the Nexus 6 and/or Ting as well. Good luck on your hunt for the perfect carrier and device!
I just ordered this one recently. Works wonderfully, over 200k blocks. ^^ http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Class-Memory-SF32UY-TQMN/dp/B00B7ID99I/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1407643507&sr=1-5&keywords=sd+card
I just got this one.
I have a 32gb, got it sometime last year on Amazon. It's this one.
This is the card you need. I've had it for a while now, and it works flawlessly. Also, it's relatively cheap. I snagged it when it was $18.
Bought this one and it has been working perfectly thus far

You shouldn't need anymore than 32GB, 64 would be overkill imo.
This one is $20, if you are going to get a different one stay away from the scandisk ultra's they seem to have issues.
No prob. I plan on getting the Hylian Shield one
You can usually find 32GB sd cards (often times sony branded) for $19 in places like frys. Don't buy a large SD card for more than $25 though. Many places like to sell them for crazy prices like $40.
Here are some on Amazon:
and a 16GB
I just started using this one in my XL: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B7ID99I/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Working great so far.
