As i am ver eager to move my apps to SD so thought of having a good investment with me..

Any Specific brand you recommend ?
Thanks Again

Stick with one of the major brands and suppliers. Saw some post where some got really cheap ones and they were fake!

oh,i can't agree more.
as i bought a fake one last sunday.
totally no use.files i copied in mostly gone!

Yes suppliers are the most important part. I bought a "brand" but it was Counterfeit. I was able to get money back when I confronted the seller who feigned innocence but he was quick to refund
I got a class 4 32gb with a tiny usb adapter since all my card readers didn't handle the shdc cards. Now I have 5000 songs + backups and 2gb free.

Hi OlSarge,
www.blt.com. The warehouse shows inventory in realtime. Looks like they had 125 on order and got in 50 which leaves a back order of 75.
Thank you Alylea. I just ordered one from them too.
Nice, I'm thinking of getting a 6GB one too, the 8GB is a bit too pricey for my liking (Approx $140).
Just out of interest, seeing as they are based on the new SDHC format (FAT32, not FAT16) - will they work with the Hermes okay?

Hi Gav,
All indications are that they should work fine as long as you are running WM6 BUT my I recll seing somewhere on this forum that not all ROMS are set up to work with SDHC.
BTW; my sources tell me that the 8GB won't be in mass production until very late '06 or possibly even early '07.

As for the 8GB, 'MyMemory' a reputable UK firm have the 8GB SanDisk model on 'pre-order' - so they must have wind of a release date.

this rom might not have the sdhc drivers so bet bet if neeeded to use the 6gb card is to update to a newer rom

Hi Cypher38,
I just looked at the listing for Schap's 3.54b and it says that there is support for SDHC so it should work.
got my card working by using tnt 2 rom
I wish there was a cheapy MP3 player ($40ish) that would take this memory format. Anyone know of any? I've googled for 3 hours looking for one before asking you guys.
I just order from the same place. They said there are 40 in stock. I can't wait to get it
you could use some cheap mp3 player, but i really like my cowon D2 (2gb/4gb) + SD card yes it does support SDHC with latest firmware
its not a simple mp3 player its a PMP i just got my sis 8gb SDHC card and it works perfectly from newegg, can you imagine the 16gb card? and so on.... man thats crazy for a touch screen pmp heh you can get both the mp3 player and the sd card from newegg. I just wish someone could cook some new diff firmware for that thing would that be sweet or what.
Anyway back to 6gb, i ordered mine and i used the free shipping at amazon and it said it would be only 4 days \o/ so that makes up for the 6 bucks that you would pay for the 3-5 or so and still have it for about the same days heh.
im sure its based on location though.
oh ill try this microSD with adaptor in my mp3 player and see
i really wish though that they would not use microSD but regular SD cards, cause they are soo much cheaper then the micro or mini, but i think cell phone manufactures made it standard almost for the micro
mostly not for the pocketPC/PDA's but for the slim phones :/

Hi
Thank you for all information’s you provide here
Any one knows or already tests Micro SDHC 4 GB or Micro SDHC 6 GB On TyTn with OFFICIAL HTC WM6 Upgrade!
I call HTC America and the person keep answering that TyTn NOT support more than 2 GB
I am confused! I read in more than on forum that tytn with official WM6 support 4 GB!
Whey HTC keep telling the opposite
Thank You
6gb sdhc card
Hey I here you guys got the 6gb sdhc card... has anyone tried it on the sprint mogul 6800 yet???
i personally do not know about official mobile 6 supporting sdhc... but as far as cooked ones go i hear that most of them do, and if not you can always go to a diff one right? that does
dont bother with calling for official support unless its written on the box they wont say jack, even if the upgrade does support they will not, unless you get lucky and get someone who knows what there talking about, and even then they will cover there asses in some form or fashion.
got it today!
http://www.amazon.com/MicroSDHC-Ada...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1191473928&sr=8-1
if you order that one for $78 it comes with a adaptor to SDHC and also a SDHC to USB, which is nice since my lame multi card reader doesnt seem to read past 4gb?
i put it in, it did not see the card right away after soft reboot... it picked it up using the rom in my sig
also i used the free shipping that supposed to come in 5-9 days and it came in 3 days

Memory Expansion - Micro SD

Hi, just got my new Hero and wanted to purchase the cheapest and best micro SD card for it..
I read somewhere that the 'Class 6' cards were the way to go..!!
Can someone advise me if this one will work in my Hero before I click buy.!!
http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_6&products_id=104986
If not any suggestions..???
Thanks
Wish I'd seen this sooner! I got ripped off on eBay for an inferior product.
Go for it!
Do you have one of the 'Transcend' then?? I've not seen them before..!! I had assumed it was the same but thought i'd check.!!!
Thanks for your help.. What do you think of the Hero BTW??
The 2GB card that my Hero came with is made by Transcend. And with the Album app its way faster than the SanDisk 8GB Class 4 card I was going to use until I realised it was so slow in comparison.
Some SD card tests in the Hero would be great if someone has a few to try out

No - the eBay seller sent me un unbranded un classified (Class 2?) card when their ad clearly stated class 6.
As for the Hero - it's awesome!
Edit: I used a utility to test the speed of the card I was sent and it performs at around 8MB per sec - above the class 6 spec. I tested the card that came with the Hero and it came out at just over 1MB per sec - below even class 2. Guess which card I'm using now?
Cheers
Just ordered one of these because of this thread
long live xda-crew!
Me too!! cheers guys

Grrr, literally just bought a lexar class 4 from my memory for slightly more money, wish I had checked this.
Do all apps have to be reinstalled when insert a new card or can I just simply copy the contents of old memory card to new one?

depends what you're doing, doesn't it? if you're gonna be writing lots of data to the card, then obviously the write speed (i'm thinking, for example, if you're taking lots of pictures with the camera, installing lots of applications maybe, etc etc). if you're just interested in reading from the card - e.g. listening to your music collection - then you'd want that to be pretty fast. my guess is that the bottleneck, in general, is going to be the write speed on any card - but i don't know much about these cards, still learning ;-)
Excellent find thanks ​
Got one on order so all looking good for my newly rooted G2
Have fun Devchef1

The speed in album app is more related to if your thumbnails are created correctly on your sdcard. There is an increasing number of persons that realizing that they have this problem.

Is a class 6 microSD card worth it?

I currently have a stock 8GB class 2 in the phone and i'm thinking of getting a class 6. I'm pretty much using 7 out of 8GB so i can manage it but it's getting rather close.
The 16GB one would cost me almost 60€ and that's a lot! The 8GB one would be only about 19€.
I didn't try ebay, maybe i could find something there. But given the price difference i think i'll stick with 8GB, what do you think?
The main reason i post here is to ask if there's going to be a NOTICEABLE difference in opening a gallery full of pictures, and picture saving time after taking a shot with the camera?
The HD recording is just a plus here, i just want the galery/shots taking to be faster. Anyone with experience?
thanks
EDIT: ok i've found this one on ebay and it has a USB reader so that i can still use my class 2 8gb as a usb stick so that's a money saver.
I've never had any experience with this company "Team", are their cards any good?

Well I bought it from eshop.gr and paid it 99 euros, it's 100% original but the phone itself can't handle faster chips, the difference is not that much, you might consider buying a 4 class which is by far cheaper!
i think i'll just get a class 6 8gb for 20$ and stick with that, that way i'll just use my old class 2 8gb in an adapter as a memory stick

Configure "app to SD" then you will notice the difference. For normal use, class 2 is more than enough.

for normal use, it sucks! i need to wait at least one minute for the gallery to open because of all my photos, isn't that because of a slow SD card? correct me if i'm wrong...
Be carefull when buying SD cards from Ebay. I bought an 8GB class 6 card once (no brand, from Hong Kong) and it turned out it's not really class 6 at all, more like class 2 or 4 (low transfer speeds). The class 6 card that came with my X10 is a true class 6 card (transfer speed of 6 MB/s).
I'm not saying all SD cards on Ebay are fake, but alot probably are (fake as in not the class they advertise).
heh, i already ordered one
it's from a top rated seller so i hope it'll be ok
thanks for the heads up
I have a class 6 16 gig, i did have a class 4 8 gig and i could not play need for speed as the game would freeze. now the game plays no problem with the class 6 card.
what does an SD card have anything to do with it?

I just wanted to say i got an 8gb class 6 and i can really see the difference, especially in camera (the time to save a picture is much much faster) and in opening the gallery, so i'm pleased with it. I'm using the old card in a card reader as a stick...

it took about a month to come but it was worth the wait...very good quality and you can re-use youre current 8gb class 2 as a usb stick

[Q] Which MicroSd Card?

Hello,
I want a new MicroSd HC Card for my Hero.
After doing some research on the internet, I am confused...
Some people say, that it is senseless to buy an expensive class 6 or 8 card for the phone, because it can not handle the extra speed a card with a higher class has.
Currently I own a Toshiba Class 6 8gb Card,
but this one has not enough space.
I thought about buying 16 or 32gb.
Do you have any recommends for me?
150 views but no one can answer???
poor!
I bought a 16GB micro SD card from play.com - their own make I think. It only cost £15.49 including delivery. It is working fine for me - I use it for sat nav and music mainly and have had no problems
I do prefer Kingston's SD cards. Never had any problems at all with them, and they seems to work pretty good, and fast.
i bought 16gb class 6 and it works perfect. i can load anything i want; mp3, videos, photos...you can buy without any doubt

i did a quick search for 128gb cards and found that both kingston and sandisk ones are uhs1. There have been a few problems with uhs1 cards going wrong after a while on our hd2. tytung has advised not to use them.
But since you are getting one anyway, i wish you luck in your pioneering tests:fingers-crossed:

In all actuality my 64Gb went bad in a result of improperly forcing formatting it to fat32, now windows nor android or it's various flavors of custom recovery will reformat it... Either that or old age??
I've been trying to find a way to save and revive it so far no luck, it started really acting up 3 or so months ago, files deleted reappear, files added disappear and I get ."no named extension files" on it and stuff too for some reason.
I guess I could always buy a new 64Gb and then return my dead one, but I'd rather hold off and pay twice as much and get the 128Gb microsdxc and maybe force format it once to fat32 test on the hd2, pop it out and reformat again to proper exfat.
Only thing I haven't tried yet was/is reformatting via usb reader, I need to get a new one of those and try that out.
