Just a quick note to all new TyTn / M3100 / Vario II / V1605 owners.
I, like you guys, need to buy a MicroSD memory card :roll:
I was looking at ebay to buy one as I have bought memory cards before for good prices, but found amazon are actually cheaper than ebay!
1GB cards on ebay are going for around £26-£30 plus £6 postage.
Just bought one from amazon (Sandisk) for £23.59 including supersaver delivery.
Just though this might help someone save a few quid!
Markee
a place called mobymemory.com also have them for the £25 but they have 2gb ones in for £62!
Anyone else seen a uk supplier (non ebay) carring 2gb micro SD's yet for less than £62?
Best price I've seen (£52.88 inc vat), but I've never used the supplier and they are not currently in stock:
http://www.memorycardzoo.co.uk/799/Sandisk/Micro-SD/2GB/froogle/&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=cpc
personally I'm getting up and running with a 1Gb card, and then seeing how the prices settle in a couple of months.
You can get a 2gb card herehttp://www.totallymobile.co.uk/basket.php?action=add&prod=SDSDQ-2048-E10M for £52.49 delivered.
Best price i've seen out of ebay yet!

In Germany the 1 GB SanDisk microSD is available from € 30,70 / £ 20,70 (see: http://www.geizhals.at/deutschland/a185626.html) and the 2 GB version starts at € 67,75 / £ 45,69 (see: http://www.geizhals.at/deutschland/a210696.html).
At eBay.de the 1 GB version is sold for € 19,99 / £ 13,48 as "buy now" (http://cgi.ebay.de/1-GB-SanDisk-Tra...ryZ90241QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).

By the time you've added delivery (€8,90 within germany, and €12,40 within the EU) these are relatively unremarkeable prices.
Around about £22/£23 delivered seems to be the going budget price for a 1Gb microSD.

But the offers you can find in Geizhals are not yet on stock anywhere.
BTW:
Who of you already uses a 2GB MicroSD Card in a TyTN ?
I'd be really curious whether it works or not and if so whether it works well.
There is a Taiwanes (?) manufacturer, who already ships 4 GB *MINI* SD Cards (note: MINI not Micro).
I could well use it in my Qtek 8300 Smartphone (which I often also use as an alternative to a USB stick).
Yet there is a report on the net of someone who has ordered it and found it just shows 2GB on the 8300, but 4GB in a card reader.
So the card is ok, but cannot be read by the mobile !
Problem is that the built-in card reader as well as the driver file has to be able to cope with these large memory cards.
With the normal (full-size) SD Cards there seem to be a spec-barrier at 2GB. There are 4GB cards that can be read in some but not all devices. In most of the devices, which can read them it lasts much longer to access the file directory (e.g. in my Casio Exilim cam :-(
I don't know anything (neither do I have trusted feedback) about the compatibility of 2GB MicroSD cards in PDAs (not to speak of the TyTN).
So I am keen to find out here soon
someone on Howard Forums bought a 2GB from Verizon in the US and says he's having signifcant problems as it seems to lag and slow down his TyTN alot.. dunno if anyone else has issues here..?
I purchased a Sandisk Ultra II (high speed) 1gb from buy.com for $39.99 shipped after rebate in anticipation of ordering my TyTn....Too great of a deal to pass up considering that the Ultra II has almost double the read/write speed of the standard microSD.
That TotallyMobile card looks tempting, but I'd love to know whether there's a significant performance difference between normal vs Ultra II MicroSDs when in use on a HTC Hermes/TyTN. Anyone have any reviews covering this (or on a similar HTC device)?
@ marcusjt
looking at the post from iboj007 it looks like there is a performance improvement as you would expect.
I suppose 2Gb ultraII cards are on their way but how long? then there will be a 4Gb standard card and then there will be a 4Gb ultra II just round the corner etc etc
I noticed that ultra II vs normal in miniSD on the Wizard often made the difference in playback of mp3's and videos from the memory card. I would imagine the same would be the case for the tytn.
I bought this:
1 Gb from ebay
Paid on monday, arrived this morning (four working days). Am currently loading stuff on to it for my visit to Croatia next week.
One thing I have noticed is that it's very easy for the memory card to stick in the reader (on the phone) rather than ejecting with a further press. If you take the back off the phone, and remove the battery, you can see the card reader slot (complete with metal cover) alongside the sim card. In the top left corner of this cover is a small square hole into which the stylus point can be inserted to slide a stuck card forward. I find tweasors most useful for gripping and removing the card.
I hope that helps somebody - it took me a while to figure out.
I got a 2GB sandisk from Verizon and it is recognised fine. The problem i have is when scrolling the list of files it sometimes hangs the whole device as the files start to be displayed. I have formatted the card as FAT but it still happened. Now testing the card formatted as FAT32. I will try changing the card if it still happens.
Got my 2gb Sandisk, works fine. No complaints from me at all.
luke.a.jones, did you format your card and if so with what format: FAT or FAT 32? thanks.
no i did't formatt it i just stuck it straight in, ill check that format its on.
EDIT:
Mine is formatted in FAT.
thanks for the info.
SanDisk 1GB MicroSD not working after 4days!!!
Hi Everyone!
Just to let you know that I suspect a similar problem with the M3100 as I had with my M600. Seeing as the phone as is new, I doubt anyone has been using their microSD cards for longer than a few weeks. My M600 and M500 had problems with recognising the SD cards (sometime, not always) and now this with my brand new M3100 and SanDisk... Wondering if its maybe a wide spread problem... else I should be Jinx in the next Bond movie!
Let me know how your microSDs fare.
Viktor
P.S. I won't be able to reply for 2 weeks - I am off on holiday!

Hey Guys
Getting a Evo 3D from UK (ASDA sale couple of weeks ago)
Now
1) MicroSD Card: I believe 8GB comes standard in box.. Should I get a higher class 32GB Card?? Like the Sandisk Ultra microSD Mobile Class 6 (says upto 30MB/s) or anything better? Don't know which class to go for and which card and if they make a diff??
2) Anyone has any ideas if these mobiles from ASDA (i think they are brand free) unlockable and hackable?
3) How are these phones? any comments?
4) Any recommended case / protector? I was thinking bodyguardz screen protector.. no idea about cases..
Wont have the phone until couple of weeks more.. so looking to get accessories etc ready..
Hey
1) I have 32GB Sandisk card you talk about, works like charm.
2) I believe you are able to unlock root with any evo 3d (brand has nothing to it).
3) Figure it out yourself i doubt that you can be disappointed
4) Seidio Active! Available only at US (shipment to Europe takes so long). I have one with kickstand. Dropped my evo from 2 meters already and even case wasn't damaged.
You can get yourself docking station (usable without case) and MHL adapter - those are cool to use, works with 3D screens too (already played games/watched videos on projector with huge screen - awesome).
I cant figure out any drawbacks from having evo, beside battery which is common issue these days.
Best regards.

1. If you need the space, yes.
2. Unlocked and hackable.
3. Bloody brilliant, love my EVO 3D.
4. I just use one of those leather slip cases, does the job lovely.
1. The 8GB class 4 it comes with is actually pretty fast (read speeds of 20mb/s). But I upgraded to 16GB class 10. You can go with 32GB if you need the space.
2. Yeah mine is from ASDA too it is unbranded and unlocked.
You can unlock the bootloader (to flash custom roms) pretty easily, but if you will need to flash the boot.img file of each rom you want to install. If you want to get around this you will need to:
Downgrade the hboot from 1.49.0008 to 1.49.0007, so you can get S-OFF. Guide Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657
3. It's awesome.
4. This £3 case from Amazon.

It works great!

If I have helped you please leave a thanks
Thanks guys
my main question remains is that is 8GB class4 which comes with it good enough? or should I go for a Class6 16GB / 32GB Sandisk Ultra microSD card??
will get the phone in hand in july

1) Is 8GB good enough? or should I go for a sandisk ultra 16/32GB ?? thinking in terms of general space and perhaps apps2sd (do we need it?)
2) you go from ASDA? is it network branded?? o2 or vodaphone? and did u need to downgrade? and which ROM etc u running if so?? Havent got the phone for another 2-3 months so just gearing up for all this!!
Do we need to put custom ROM on that phone? does it come with loads of crapware? best rom in market currently for this GSM phone?
Class 4 is fast enough but upgrade if you need the space, simple really lol. And no you won't need Apps2SD/EXT etc.
Actually when I had 8GB card it ran out quickly... Few clips, around one hundred mp3's, some photos, games and You are sir done
Got my pre-order for a white 16GB Galaxy Mega cancelled this afternoon after getting a call from the seller saying that 'only the 8GB version is for UK release'. Anyone got any idea when/where I can get a 16GB version in the UK or in Europe? The 8GB version only has around 5GB usable space and it's definitely not enough for my apps specially if I can't move them to the SD card.

Umm, that seller is from Hongkong. I'm looking for UK sellers with good records so I don't get scammed. I've tried other UK sellers but it seems like they've posted items which they don't have. You can see other sellers updating their item details because they only got 8GB stock instead of 16GB.
Edit: Nevermind, found some from Kikatek UK. I hope people from the UK would reply where they got their Mega so other users can compare deals and shopping experience.

Haven't ordered yet as I'm wary of the version. I'm trying to message the seller to confirm first. There are some 16gb on Amazon UK but they might change the item description today.
Just root and use foldermount until the memory swap is available..
Not a problem..
Or maybe wait until the 16GB is available? Maybe then proper root will be available with custom ROMs too

That sucks Are you planning to return it? How much of the 8GB is usable storage? 8GB will not do for me as the usable space would be much less for my apps.
Games I own at the moment:
NFS Most Wanted(2GB)
Dungeon Hunter 4 (1GB)
Puzzle Quest 2 (250MB)
Fieldrunners 2 (300MB)
Minion Rush (250MB)
+ other game and apps over 2GB
Some sellers from Amazon have 16GB listed but I am not sure if they're really 16GB as one seller told me that only 8GB is for UK release. I'll wait another week or two as they might get the 16GB in stock by then or I might just go for the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 3G which only comes in 16GB and 32GB versions.

I am waiting until Monday when they have said they will come back to me, either way i will probably keep as i only really need space for maps for navigation on internal SD (1GB). Available space is about 4.75GB.
I doubt any of the uk well known sellers will have the 16gb version anytime soon

After calling several sellers including the Samsung store, I decided to get the 8gb since everybody has no idea when or if the 16 gb will ever be sold in the UK. I got a SIM free one for 374 quid using an eBay voucher. I will do the same and use Foldermount until we get slim custom ROMs or memory swap function.
same as, got the 8gb did not fancy buying it from simply electronics to badly reviewed, comes tommorrow so time to do some custom building stuff as sold my note already lol

Hi thering, thank god you're on board building custom ROM for the Mega I've sold my Note last month and is itching to get a Mega so ordered the 8GB. You can now get the white 8GB version for £370 from eBay (e-cell) and the black one for £401 from eBuyer.

I loved the XtraliteROM for the Note and with the limited storage on the Mega a slim ROM would be great.
You can also claim the title of the longest running ROM for the Mega as well
Yeah true lol camt wait to get started tbh..

From what I read, the 3g only version of the Mega 6.3 (i9200) has the 16GB version while the LTE version (i9205) is only 8GB. Maybe this is to make both versions similarly priced in Europe and North America. In Asia, the 16GB i9205 is already available as my friends from the Philippines got their Mega at the Samsung launch there last Saturday for £330.
As per title, are LG doing to ship the 32GB variant to Europe as every non-imported model appears to be 16GB?
Thanks
My usual German store shows both 16GB and 32GB in pre-order, so I'm assuming yes.
In Norway it seems only the 32GB is on sale, comes in black or white.
Interesting, wonder why LG have decided then not to ship 32GB to UK then, or whether its a supply constraint?
I'll just have to import from the continent.
LG for some reason don't like the UK market! I've had bad experiences with them in the past over a tv and a sound bar

It's 32GB, 24.60 is probably the free space you got for the Virtual SD Card.
I figured as much, but doesn't that seems strange? Would the OS etc really consume 7.4 GB? Hell you could fit a Windows into that! If this is the case, then a 16GB version of the phone would be left with 8-9 GB of space only. This is clearly quite low for todays standards.
Also I suppose this confirms the question if we'll be getting 32 GB in Europe, as I seem to have one.
Delete the boatwares and you will gain some space
I don't believe I can as my phone is unrooted as of so far, is there a root for my version of the phone? (Swedish Tele2)
The price difference between the 16 and 32 GB model is no negligible they should just make one version.
-LG G2

O2 exclusive I hear
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I asked an O2 rep instore. They confirmed they will have it (but not yet) - couldn't give me a time frame or anything.
The 32gb one is not on their website and the 16gb one isn't even on their front page. For someone who has exclusivity they really don't look like they care. And their contract deals are insanely expensive on this phone. This is not looking good
Because nobody wants 16gb if non expandable storage with 12gb user availability. This with a camera that shoots 13mp 1080p at 60fps. I mean how much can you record? Like 10min before disk space is low?
Couple of apps, couple of pics, few cd's aaaaand diskspace is gone.
They should have never made a 16gb model. It should have been 32/64.
I am from Belgium and eagerly looking for a new phone cuz the screen is broken from my s3. But I refuse to buy the 16gb model and they do not (yet? ) sell the 32gb version.
Just got word from lg Belgium/Netherlands/Luxemburg that the 32gb variant will never be sold here.
So we can only get 16gb, big marketing mistake.
So I will not buy an LG G2 then... shame, I definitely would have liked the g2.
32 GB only in Denmark.
Hi, any website with Note 8 128gb ? i don't find it anywhere ...
Thanks
I doubt it'll appear—it's a classic Samsung tune, with every model since Note 2 they've been promising a “Luxury” of whatever version of the same model, always with double the storage. They've never materialized…
Isn't it like a market exclusive? I know they have 128GB versions of the S8+ in Korea.

A 128GB Note 8 would be brilliant but I'm just happy we're getting 64GB as a base option even if Micro SD is included.
It may be because the 128gb and 256 GB versions in Korea might not have the expandable memory option. Idk

In my opinion the reason Samsung does this is the higher storage options also happen to be the "dual SIM" version. Same goes with the 128gb version of the HTC U11.
I believe they expect you to use both slots for SIM cards and therefor give you more storage space to make up for it.
I personally think this sucks. Yes, the SD is fine for "media" (photos, videos, books, documents etc) but the default "download" folder is internal, most apps place cache on internal, and Games, did I mention Games yet? I would Love to own a 256gb note AND have an SD card for media, but Samsung and HTC disagree with me and think 64gb for apps and games is more than enough.
This when Apple offers 32gb, 128gb, and 256gb Iphones (and the rumors for the soon to be released point to 64,256,512!!!)
Seriously, Android is always about compromises and the manufacturers lecturing us that they know best (region specific storage, RAM, colours, in LG's case DACs, etc) Yes, Android is about choice, just not our choices.

In my opinion the reason Samsung does this is the higher storage options also happen to be the "dual SIM" version. Same goes with the 128gb version of the HTC U11.
I believe they expect you to use both slots for SIM cards and therefor give you more storage space to make up for it.
I personally think this sucks.

Yes I agree. I could care less about expandable memory if you give me 256gb or more of internal storage. Especially when like you said I have a limited amount of apps I can actually move to my sd card. But I feel like alot of U.S customers actually care about that which is why Samsung justifies keeping it in the U.S market and can get away with the 64gb version. Even though manufacturing wise it probably would have been easier for them to just crank out just a 128gb and 256gb internal storage version

You forgot to mention that Apple charges an extra $100 for each memory step up. I'm not willing to pay $1130+tax for a 256gb Note 8

That is the thing about choice.
Just because you are not willing to, doesn't mean others are not!
I would gladly pay a premium for a higher capacity phone. If you are not, purchase the base model, we both win!
It should be avaible in Australia !!!

True, but this model is imported from Hong Kong and not officially released in the Australian market.
Do you have any indication if the 128gb will be released in Hong Kong in a dual-SIM variant?
Currently I have a 64gb dual-SIM Exynos version on pre-order, but I'd gladly pay a Premium for a dual 128gb that's Exynos.

Do you have a link? In Korea they usually don't have dual-SIM versions right? Or do they?
Is either US or Canada getting Galaxy Note 8 128GB for consumers? Until today, I have not seemed galaxy s8+ 128GB on sales even in Taiwan.

Sorry, I have no idea. Being from Australia, I don't own the Hong Kong model and don't know what will and won't work in Singapore on the HK model.
In mexico the only version officially available is the exynos 128 GB
