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

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 ?

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?

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.

Class X means speed. Actually class 6 is the fastest one for those SD or mini SD cards.
16gb micro sdhc is the largest that is availiable at this time, in speeds up to class 6

The upper-end of the microSDHC category has been reached! Samsung has announced that they’re working on 32 GB memory cards, which will be good news to media hogs who have long capped out 16 GB cards on their mobile phones. This is the first microSD card to hit 32 GB, and is the last denomination before moving to the microSDXC format, which will handle 32 GB – 2 TB. I talked with the SD association at CES this year, and it seems unlikely that we’ll have any micro cards breaking into 32 GB in the next six months (maybe something late next year, if I had to guess). That should at least give manufacturers some time to update their hardware to support XC. Samsung also announced that they’ll have a new 64 GB designation of their moviNAND memory, clocking in at 30-nm and 0.7mm high. The first 32 GB cards will be commercially available after mass production kicks in around February 2010.
More info on SDXC cards along with a time chart, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5309401
Class 6 means minimum 6mb/sec for memory write.
It doesn't mean that class 4 can't be faster than class 6 .... but with time flash memory gets slower . It's better to have "insurance" for bigger minimum
i am quite sure i read somewhere that the hd was able to support (theorically ofc) upto 64gb memory card. am i wrong ?

Do you know how retarded that sounds?
The G1 supports the MicroSDHC standard. It is limited to whatever size the MicroSDHC standard supports.
Regardless what Google search you link, 32gb is the addressable limit of the SDHC standard.. when 64gb cards appear they will be SDXC, which means no current hardware supporting SDHC can use them.
If you'll look at your own links, they refer to the card as "128gb MicroSD". No mention of it being SDHC. An SDXC card will be an SD standard, but a device will need to support SDXC just like they support SDHC these days.
You can Google all you want, but all I see are a bunch of links from web sites that aren't official press releases from Sandisk themselves and all two years old.

Although not under the same title, it should give some insight:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/4113-sd-card-speeds-and-swap/
Basically, the hardware in the Dream is only capable of read/write speeds around the class 6 area. Anything higher will get you a class 6 speed tops. Honestly, probably isn't worth the cash to get a class 8 or 10. Get one only if you're going to use the card in a camera, where you may need to dump RAW images on the fly. It's just not worth it otherwise.

Riiight.
Okay, so because you obviously don't know how storage works in regards to addressing, I'll explain it to you. At the time the Dream/G1 was originally released the 16GB MicroSD card was in the foreseeable future, but not a reality. 32GB wasn't in their crosshairs because it was beyond the 2 year limit. When phones are released, manufacturers usually only look to the average life of the phone for what it will support, which is about 2 years because that's how often the average person replaces their phone. Memory addressing is done via drivers, not hardware. For example: 32bit Computer Operating Systems support a maximum of 2.9GB of Random Access Memory, unless you add a PAE driver (Physical Address Extension) which allows the hardware to access addresses beyond their original limit by adding an additional level to the page table hierarchy which allows for 52-bit physical addressing on 32bit hardware. So, yes... an update -could- be written for the Dream/G1 to allow 32GB SDHC addressing, but don't expect it to come from HTC or Google. Their answer when 32GB cards become 'affordable' to the average consumer will be to buy a new phone, but if we look at the PC standards, it is very possible that a kernel module could be written to do something similar to PAE and allow 52bit SDHC addressing. With 32gb being the 32bit maximum, I'm sure 128GB+ could fall well within the 52bit area.
So, no. The Dream/G1 will not accept anything above 16GB without a kernel module, but with the custom kernels and instructions for compiling your own out there, someone will undoubtedly write a custom kernel for 32GB storage once it becomes practical to do so, or port the kernel from a newer device that supports it already.

I don't know how the classes work entirely, my area is mostly in capacities and addressing, but unless it's a true hardware limitation, a kernel module could be written to allow Class 10 speeds, but honestly I'd get the class 10 myself because of writing from other devices -> SD. Like sideloading music to your card from your computer.
Does it support Sandisk Ultra II, or SDHC and is that faster than class 6?
edit: is this okay?
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Ele...com-8GB-SDHC-Class-6-Memory-Card/Product.html
SDHC refers to an extension to the basic SD specification, allowing higher capacities. Hero supports SDHC upto at least 32GB, going on what I've read. I have an 8GB class 6 card.
Ultra xxx this & that is marketing bull with no standardised meaning in respect of performance. From what I can find via google, the Sandisk Ultra II is either class 2 or 4 (or possibly either depending on exactly which card you have).
The class system is a standardised classification of read/write speeds. Always check a card's class.
Is that card (Sandisk) ok? Depends what you want it for. If you intend to install apps to your card via, say, A2SD, I'd say no. Always get a class 6 for this, but it's a matter of personal choice. The standard doesn't imply this but collective empirical evidence also suggests higher class cards tend to be more reliable.
As to the linked card on play.com, it looks ok. Even the reviews seem reasonable, as long as you aren't inflicted with a broken lock tab a few earlier customers report.
TBH as long as you stick with 8GB class 6, as of the current date, you're at the sweet point for capacity-&-performance : price ratio. I bought one recently - think it was Transcend & about the same price.
OK, I think I'll buy that then. The only reason I want it is because at the moment videos always lag on my 2GB class 2 that came with it.
Thanks.
Micro SDHC
HTC Hero supports Micro SD HC and not the standard SD card. So check that before you buy. Im using Transcend 8GB Micro SDHC Class 6 Ultra. Works like breeze.. Also check 16 GB ones coz the price must hv come down.
Oh, so sorry - I didn't notice the card he linked to was not a Micro SD
Hell, that's the second time I've done that - I actually ordered the wrong size on one occasion. I hope this doesn't cost the OP. Even if ordered, they should take a return within 7 days, by law (in the UK, at any rate).
[Edit:] This is an ok deal.
As long as the micro as is class 4 or better then you should be ok with what ever you buy but give eBay a miss a lot of faked memory card and memory stick sizes comming from places like China and the like

Oh, so sorry - I didn't notice the card he linked to was not a Micro SD
Hell, that's the second time I've done that - I actually ordered the wrong size on one occasion. I hope this doesn't cost the OP. Even if ordered, they should take a return within 7 days, by law (in the UK, at any rate).
[Edit:] This is an ok deal.

Hahahaha. Thats too funny. Lets just hope he doesn't tear it open as soon as its delivered, no chance of a return then.
Anyway,... I found two good prices,...
Samsung 8GB Micro SD Memory Card - £13.49
Its only a class 4, but speeds in the comments are ok:
Speed (read) 15MB/sec
Speed (write) 6 ~ 7MB/sec
And doesn't this sound interesting,... "Features:- Waterproof - Innovative epoxy moulding compound tech helps over 24 hours in sea water- Shock proof - Survives high pressure, including the crush of a 1.6ton automobile- Magnet-proof - Resists over 13 times the magnetic force of home theater speakers- Elegant Package- Content Protection- Faster Performance"
The 2nd one is what CAULI had found, only slightly cheaper,...
Transcend 8 GB Class 6 microSDHC Flash Memory Card with adapter - £13.99
One customer states "I was getting write speeds of over 6MB I think the fastest was something like 6.70MB per second!"
BUT
Another says "Write speed with this card is the slowest of the lot, barely creeping above 5.3MB/sec"
Hmmmmm,....
Any more advice anyone?
I recently purchased the Samsung 8GB Micro SD class 6 Memory Card from play.com for use in my Hero and it works great with Apps2SD
Thanks for the tips everyone
There's always ebay... I got my 8gb on there for £6 inc. p+p, you can never beat an ebay deal...
I'm looking for either a 128gb or 256gb micro sd card and I want to have the same experience as using the internal storage for recording 4k/superslowmo and using apps on sd cards.
But I don't want to overspend either, I don't know up to what speeds/classes the phone can utilize.
There's cards like Samsung evo plus 128gb for 60euro, cards like lexar 1000x 128gb at 95 euro with UHS II Bus all kinds of things I got lost in the sea of classes and speeds.
What cards did you guys get and can anyone recommend me something?
I use sandisk ultra 200 gb and no problem @all with 4k
I got a samsung evo select 128gb and it is pretty damn snappy.

I use that also.. I think... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CO48M36/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Up to 95MB/s Read and 90MB/s Write speed with Class 10 and U3 compatibility
that was the fastest card available when I bought it, nothing was faster with high storage. I see 256gb cards now but haven't really looked into any or the specs
I got Samsung Evo+ 128 GB UHS-I U3 (100 MB/s read, 90 MB/s write) for 55 euros (just google MB-MC128GA/EU - NL Samsung site for this card) . There is also 128 GB Adata Premier One UHS-II with read 275 MB/s, write 155 MB/s for ~150 USD. 256 GB version is for 289 USD (amazon) - dunno why, but in Czech it is for ~210$ ^^. In your case, I would go for Samsung
Got the Samsung one now

I'd recommend the SanDisk Ultra 200 GB MicroSDXC UHS-I Memory Card as a good balance between capability, capacity and cost.

Sony 128GB UHS-I Class 10 SDXC
I purchased Sony 128GB UHS-I Class 10 SDXC Memory Card (SR-G1UY3A). Performance is simply awesome. It cost me Rs 5k.
I'm disappointed with XZP's sdcard access speeds, especially when the sdcard encryption is enabled. With my Samsung Evo+ 256Gb I got the following speeds:
About 7Mb/s read/write (with enabled encryption)
And about 70/40Mb/s (read/write) with disabled encryption.
What real speeds have you got?
100MB/s & 90MB/s read & write speeds Evo Select 45 USD http://a.co/3sYajyC

Is this still a problem? I prefer to always have my stuff encrypted and had this same issue, so slow it's almost unusable. Wondering if any of the updates or anything have fixed this issue or not.

Yes, it's still a problem in Oreo. I have up to 10mb/s with enabled encryption.

Have you tried any other micro SDs or just the Samsung Evo+? I was thinking about getting the 2017 one, Samsung Evo Plus 256GB, but it seems like it will probably be the same, I think the only difference between that 2016 version is 10MB/s on Read speed. Would be interesting to see if certain cards do better than others, I would like to know if a A1 rated card also has this problem.
Hey guys. Thanks for all the helpful input. What would you say is the primary benefit of the additional storage of a 128GB to 256GB SD Card? I feel like on other phones without expandable memory, I never really reach capacity on 64GB models. So I probably used more cloud storage out of necessity and just got used to it. What are you guys using all this glorious storage for?

4k por... Oops I mean scientific ebooks etc.
All jokes aside... Having that bit of extra storage can give you the freedom to record, capture and download as you please!
Especially for people like me who hardly use online storage. I have the Samsung Evo Plus 256gb (2017 version) and I have so many 4k HDR10 movies and documentaries stored on it. I also dont have to worry about running out of space by constantly shooting 4k videos.
Having higher storage takes away all the limitations of having to transfer your files whenever you need to download new material.
I'm getting 72mb/read and 40mb/write even though the Micro SD card is capable of achieving higher speeds. This is due to the phone and I hope that android will find a way around this with upcoming updates, unless it's a hardware issue of course.
These speeds are more than enough for regular everyday use as I haven't faced any issues with reading/writing colossal files.
Hope this helps

You had me at 4k por... LOL. But seriously, I have never even seen 4K video let alone shot in 4K, so I am looking forward to checking it out on this glorious screen. Still think I may only opt for 200GB unless I find a really good deal (I will check the model you listed above). Doubt I will be able to even fill that but who knows. LOL. Thanks again.

Just to verify, you don't have encryption enabled for the microSD card correct?

Yes that is correct. My internal storage is encrypted and the micro sd card isn't.

Hey guys. Can someone please give me their thoughts on the MicroSD card linked below? Thinking of buying but not sure I need 256GB and the price is pretty reasonable on this 200GB. Thoughts?
