largest memory card supported ? - Touch Cruise Accessories

Hi All
Just ordered my new o2 orbit 2. Upgrading from my orbit 1.
I'm assuming it's still a tiny micro-SD card. Does anyone know what the largest capacity card that is supported by the orbit 2 ?
Jeff

how about something like ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Micro-SDHC-Adaptor-Reader/dp/B000VUPUOU/ref=pd_sbs_ce_title_3

Theoretically the HTC Polaris can support MicroSD up to 2GB and MicroSDHC up to 32 GB cards. Anyway in this moment the maximun capacity I've seen is MicroSDHC 8 GB cards (I've a 8 GB Sandisk and it works perfect), so don't worry...

Guess what you get if you search for 'memory card size' on the polaris forums ( advanced search ) ?
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms
It doesn't even pick up my new post.
I did search before I posted, always do. Sorry if you find it dull that i've posted a question that I could not find an answer to but that's what I thought these forums where for...

The 6GB card you linked to will be fine, and importantly it is supplied with an SDHC capable reader for the USB slot on the PC.
The Orbit 2/ Polaris can go up to a capacity of 32GB (if you can find cards this large at the moment they would be very costly) - 8GB are certainly available and I have seen 16GB is about to be released (might already be available, at a price) - Mike

MicroSD SDHC drawbacks?
Considering operation specifically for the Touch Cruise, are there any reasons to forgo (to do without) the additional capacity of the SDHC to gain greater than class 4 or 6 speeds (ie: sandisk ultra II microsd with read/write speads of 10/9 m/s)? Would these greater speeds help significantly with video playback or rendering pictures, or would one advise that the difference is negligible and definitely not worth giving up the excess storage potential?

I bought an 8GB Sandisk microSDHC class 4 (with microreader included) for 52 euros. Installed Tomtom Maps of Western Europe on the card and several movies (created with CloneDVD Mobile). Tomtom 6.032 as well as the movies played with Coreplayer 1.1.3 are running smooth. Hence class 4 should be fast enough.

Thanks
Appreciate the comment. I'll have to check out that clonedvd mobile software.

i bought an 8gb sandisk one on ebay for 45$. i was dissapointed though that the built in "all in one" card reader on my crappy ass dell xps m1210 laptop can't read sdhc. still a good purchase though, filled up to 6 gb so far with music and gps maps, etc. i do not notice any performance issues with sdhc.

The fastest speed of Sandisk MicroSd SDHC is class 4, wonder where you did find Ultra II?
Applications like Tomtom will run better (smoother) using a faster MicroSD card, the fastest speed I could find so far is Class 4. As soon as there is a faster card available I will go for it, as long as it is at least 8GB.

I've seen 12GB ones for sale. Would say TC can't use more than class 2, f/s video doesn't use that much!
There's plenty threads about problems recognizing 8GB cards tho, that suddenly it ;becomes; 2GB?

What do you mean with TC can't use more than class 2
The faster the accesstime to the MicroSd card the better the overall performance. If class 6 becomes available I will go for it

I am using a Sandisk 8GB SDHC cards which is a class 4 and it works fine.

I use the same card and I am happy with it, however, an application like Tomtom is depending on a lot of data transfer between the card and the application. I contacted Tomtom to figure out how to get a smooth working screen and the answer was, processor speed and data transfer speed of the card. In my previous equipment, a Mio A201 PDA, I replaced the 60X SD card with a 150X SD card and Tomtom run much smoother.

I thot it only affects sustained transfer. Burst/accesstime are something else.

Micro SDHC 16Gb

I'm looking for a 16Gb SDHC card for my TP2. I have a Sandisk 8Gb SDHC which works fine, though occasionally slightly choppy video playback. I understand it is a class 2 card giving 2mbps, and there are cards giving 4 or 6 mbs (higher classes) but I'm not sure if those are for the postage stamp size SDHC cards.
Does anyone know if Micro SDHC cards exist higher than class 2? I was thinking this may improve multimedia playback and recording.

8GB class 6 is a verry common.
16GB are class 2 only for now.
I have 16Gb and I do not experience any lag in multimedia playback
I can confirm 16GB works perfectly. I use Sygic McGuider 7.70 on my Rhodium, and experience no lag in reading the maps or what so ever.
I don't notice any lag when reading maps using Co-Pilot Live 7. I've only noticed it a few times when playing back videos i've recorded on the TP2.
Perhaps the slight choppyness is during the recording rather than the playback.
Capturing photos seems to have a couple of seconds delay, so I wondered if that was just the camera application or maybe the speed of the card.
I see Sandisk have a class 4 MicroSD (Mobile Ultra SDSDQY-016G-A11M), but I haven't found a supplier in the UK yet.
No delays on my SanDisk 16gig job either.

Hi TheWizzard2203,
a little bit off topic: but: how did you manage to copy the mcguider sd-card to your 16 GB-card? On their homepage they say: copying is not possible.
Thanks for your help! (I think about buying McGuider, but this "no copying" is keeping me from buying it)

64 gb micros....unbelievable

Has anyone seen this? http://tinyurl.com/ybz2qfd
man that's crazy, although the 64's won't work with g1, I think its expandable capacity is only 32gb, but that's still big! Not sure of the class #'s on these bad boys, but I'm sure if there aren't any 6 or 10 class versions available yet it won't be long!
EDIT: nevermind, they're all 32's.....the 64gb has something to do with flash or whatever, IDK
32gb is the addressable limit of the SDHC standard.. when 64gb cards appear they will be SDXC, which means no current hardware can use them. Awesome.

Strange you should say that....

As I'm a newbie, I can't post external links.... but apparently CAN post links where "http" have been changed to "hxxp". I spotted this link earlier today, from Morgan Computers - a BIG hardware-clearance company in New Oxford Street, London. £51 for a 32Gig SDHC card.
" The 32GB SDHC memory card is German made, leading edge technology at its best! It also comes with a lifetime manufacturer warranty.
The 32GB SD Card offers high storage capacity with a write speed of 10MBytes/s and a read speed of 20MBytes/s. It is ideal for new generation digital camera and other applications with SDHC cards slots.
Compatible with All SDHC devices
32GB stores approx 1200 x 10MP Photos, 545 Hours of MP3
May be in Eco Friendly Bulk Packaging
*Please Note: SDHC cards will only work in devices that are compatible with the Higher SDHC Specification cards"
I'm going to invest in one of these for my (new!) Desire - my two G-1's will have to continue to make-do with 8 Gig Sandisk TF cards.
You let us all know how that works.

I have two 32GB SDHC's, one is class 2, the other class 6.
The class 2 works but it's insanely slow and it consumes a lot of battery due to the extra hot time required for reads and writes.
The class 6 is extremely fast and doesn't cause noticeable battery drain.
So am I correct in assuming that the higher the class number, the faster the performance & lower the power usage?

Meh. Until there's a PAE firmware released for the device. Like how a 32bit OS can only handle 4GB RAM until you enable PAE. (In windows, you can simply "turn it on", in linux you need a kernel with a PAE module enabled)
PAE, or Physical Address Extension, should allow for a 52 bit limit on physical memory but only supports a 48-bit virtual address space. 4 × 10245 bytes, or 4 Petabytes and 256 × 10244 bytes or 256 Terabytes, respectively. (What that means is, if the hardware doesn't support 52 bit addresses natively, then they highest capacity that can be reached via PAE is 256 Terabytes through virtualization.)
What does that mean for an android device? A PAE Kernel Module could be created to allow for addressing of more than 32 Gigabytes, how far past 32 Gigabytes? That I don't know. I would assume at least somewhere in the realm of 128-256 Gigabytes. I doubt there will ever be a MicroSD card at that capacity though. By the time we see affordable solid-state storage as small as MicroSD with a capacity over 64 Gigabytes it is unlikely that MicroSD will even still be around, and I doubt anyone will still be using the G1 anyway at that point. We're talking another 4 years or so, making the G1 an antique by technology standards.
tl;dr version: Once 64GB cards are affordable enough for it to be practical to put the time and effort into a firmware mod (kernel module,etc) for an android version of something resembling PAE, you can expect -someone- will figure out a way to enable 64GB usage in the G1.
I think we're gonna see faces like this: all the time, when it comes to electronics industry... I can still remember my first Intel 486 with a few MB HDD!
Man one of these would be nice!
For me 6gb is enough..
For music etc i have a mp3 player!
Here we are 2 years later, 256gb micro sd cards are just starting to appear on evilbay.
Also USB thumbdrives that can handle up to 512gb cards
I used my sandisk 64gb sdxc in my G1 with no issues !

MicroSD Cards - Plus / High Speed?

Hi guys,
bit out of touch with the MicroSD card market these days.
was wondering if someone could offer me advice.
planning to get a 8GB+ SD card for music, picture and tom tom.
which card would you recommend?

I have a Transend 8gb class 6 which has been working great for me for Tom tom etc.
I guess anything like Sandisc, Transend or kingston as long as it is class 4 or above would work fine.
I dont know about Samsung as i only saw them recently, but i checked out the one you linked and it looks good, Class 6 and waterproof! LOl what more could you want!!?
EDIT it looks like the Plus is the difference of class as they also sell a class 4 without the "plus"
Also..thanks for the link!

Yeah, I have the same transend card, and it's been working great since day one....but after seeing the one jasonchiu linked, I know what kind I'll be buying the next time I need a SDHC card!!
waterproof??? That IS pretty sweet! And that's not out of the price range of most other 8GB class-6 cards, so it sounds like a no-brainer to me!
like everyone else i was looking for the fastest largest and cheapest sdhc card
i settled on one that is the cheapest, 40 bucks for 16gb, sandisk brand.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001L1H0SC
its not that slow as its not like i am streaming hd video off the card to begin of, it is enough for picture and music and video.
only down side, when i have to copy the pictures off the card, it takes longer than my class 6 4gb card
i this economy i am happy with the 40 bucks 16gb deal
Try the A-DATA 16GB Micro SDHC Class 6.
Works great and much faster than my old Sandisk 8GB Class 2.

Aren't most memory cards pretty much unaffected by water anyway?
You can put them through the wash and, as long as they don't get broken, they'll be fine.
*Disclaimer: I accept no responsibility for any problems arising from putting memory cards in the wash!*
I'm a little confused. For lots of people here it seems to be important to have a CLASS 4 or CLASS 6 MicroSDHC Card. I am using a Sandisc 8GB Micro SDHC CLASS 2 card eversince for Tomtom, Music and Movies. The card is 90% full and I have never ever experienced any delay or problem of speed.
So, I'm just wondering, why so many people here would want to have a CLASS 4/6 card !?

Speed, my Tilt2 reads my A-DATA Micro SDHC Class 6 much faster than my Sandisk Class 2. While I did not use a stop watch to clock it but the extra speed is very apparent.
I am in the market for a new card ... currently on a sandisk 6gb class4 card I took away from my wife's blackberry. I need to get it back to her ... and right now I am lusting after that new 32gb from Sandisk. But at class2, I'm concerned about speed. I'm sure playing music and running apps wont be an issue, but how about vids? Is there a recommended speed for playing vids from a micro sdhc card?
Yes me too! I've been looking to upgrade my 8gig class 2 to a 16gb. I use it for TomTom, Garmin and some movies.
Well there be any benefit to how fast my Garmin & TomTom load on my phone with a class 6 over 2? I can get a class 2 on newegg for $40 but a cheap class 6 is $60. Is the $20+ more worth it for a class 6? I don't care about the speed it takes to transfer files, I just want my GPS apps to be more responsive loading maps.
My Sandisk Sansa Fuze went through a complete wash cycle by mistake. I popped out the MicroSD card and left it a few days and it worked just fine.
Just make sure anything that has got water on it is powered down by pulling the battery, don't use the power switch. Shut it off ASAP and pop it on the boiler, airing cupboard etc and leave for at least 24-48hrs. Don't be tempted to just give it a quick power up as that is when you fry the circuit board.

Well for some things, a higher class works a lot better. An example of that is how when trying to run anroid on my low class 1G card, it wouldn't even boot. It kept timing out. So yes, it does matter for some things.
just get a class 6 sdhc. its really faster in all belongings. which brand - i think anyone of the well known brands is ok.
when it is going over 8GB in size you dont have much a choose of brands because there a only very very few comapnys who have a large class 6 sdhc micro sdcard
I am getting ready to purchase this 32gb micro from ScanDisk. Has anyone confirmed that the HTC Rhodium/AT&T Tilt2 will work with this larger card??

am using class 6 works fine.
I use an 8Gb, class 4 without any issues. Resco is installed on the card.
Although if your going to flash a ROM from a micro SD card use one < 8Gb.
Thanks,
Al
From my experience, it's not the class or size that matters. It's the make. (Obviously a smaller card with a higher class will have faster r/w speeds, but that's not usually a noticeable issue.)
I never buy any SD cards now that are not SanDisk, and I can't remember the last time I had one that didn't work.
Some brands seem to get a lot of complaints.
The class wouldn't really matter if you're just using it to store data/apps.
I use a Nokia N900 and run Android off the SD card. A higher class gives a better speed when running an O/S off of one. But using one to store data/apps wouldn't give a noticable advantage of one class than another.
Obviously the size does matter but depends on what you'll use it for.
Plus for flashing use < 8Gb.
Thanks,
Al
PS. I agree with the brands. I don't buy cheap non-branded ones. Although I've never had an issue with any of the 'cheap' ones.
The size of the card depends on your needs. If you cram a lot of stuff in there or apps, then aim for 16gb or 32gb.
You can find 32gb on amazon from $70 up (sandisk, kingston, dane elec -- those are deem legit 32gb cards) and most of them should give real class 4 performance (even when they're listed as class 2 like sandisk).
For me I like San Disk,but I want to test Toshiba 16GB Class4.The seller told me that Toshiba quality is good also and I decided to buy it.
Never had any problem with file transfer and running android on SD card.
I've used it 4 months now.So far so good.
I use a kingston 8gb class 4.. Never had any issues with performance
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I'll probably run Android off the card initially with the standard WM 6.5 tweaked. Maybe put some SatNav on there too.
As for Apps depends what I come across. For WM I have an old large build of offline Wikipedia and some dictionaries etc.

I had my 8GB SanDisk in my G1 for 2 years, then my HD2 for about 8 months, then randomly one day it stopped working.
If I plugged it in, all of my content appeared on the phone such as pictures. Then after about 30 seconds it would freeze, and then the phone would say no SD card is inserted. I managed to copy all of my pictures across on the PC luckily before it froze.
Granted it was old - but they do fail after a while.

Yep, same here. Stupid FAT32 doesn't let you copy files bigger than 4Gb though, so that sucks. Now if only there were some way to format the SD card using EXT2,3,4 or whatever, or get the Tab to easily recognize exFAT.
I did notice when i tried to copy a file from the internal memory to the external memory
It didnt work while i was unrooted. But since i have rooted i have not experienced this again..

Most manufactures says their devices is supporting microSD up to 32 GB, but really it's just a phrase.
I've tried 65GB microSD on my Galaxy S II and it worked then I tried it on my Galaxy S I also worked !! which made me try it on little Sony Xperia mini and also worked !!!
Just try it, Im sure it will work.
Yep no problems over here either.. Just need to format the card when it's in the device..

I have 64Gb Kingmax MicroSDXC. Works fine.
Confirmed a while ago:
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
My 64GB card has worked in every Android device I've tried it in, check that blog post for my list - also confirmed working in many other devices by others.
looking to maybe getting a micro sd card, not sure if i should go for the 32gb with price range of $30-$70 or fork out the extra money for 64gb, over $150. what would you guys recomend? and is it even worth it going for the 64gb at this point? i have the 16gb tab and using 16gb from original 7" tab.
Well.. currently the cheapest one i could find was at play.com and that's not cheap at all... can't we use the usb adapter and connect an external HD to the device?
I went ahead and bought the 64gb card ($152USD on Amazon) as I like to keep as much as possible on my tab. As far as a usb hard drive, I would think it would need to be on that does not need to be powered through the usb connection.
it works just fine, i have 64GB almost used up on my SGS2
In terms of whether the 64GB is worth it: only you can answer that. Mine is basically full and I would like even more storage, some people can't even fill an 8GB card, so it's quite a personalised thing really.
You can use pen drives via the USB adapter if that suits your use.
It seems from other posts that 64Gb cards are entirely satisfactory but my additional question is "What class is optimal?" There are Class 4, Class 6 and now Class 10 cards with price generally higher for the higher class. I note that another poster has successfully used a Kingmax 64Gb MicroSDXC which, I believe, is Class 6.
Does anybody know what the specs are for the MicroSD slot on the tablet. Obviously, it would be overkill and a waste of money if the device cannot read and write at the higher speeds that the card supports. Has anyone done any benchmarking?
I was considering a 64Gb Class 10 card for AU$125 but am wondering if the tablet can actually make use of it and a cheaper card would suffice.
the Sandisk 64 is a Class 6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343164
I think when it comes to the difference in class, the simple explanation is the random access speed vs sustained data transfer speed.
Correct my current understanding if I'm wrong, but generally speaking, lower class = faster random access speeds, but slower sustained data read/write, whereas higher class = faster sustained read/write speeds, but slower random access.
Can anyone confirm or expand upon this?
that's why a Class 6 is just the sweet spot right smack in the middle of both
yeah Class 10 are faster to transfer huge files but slower on smaller files
and class 2 to class 4 are faster for smaller files but extremely slow for huge files like a 4 GB movie file for example
