2GB Ultra II microSD - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi I just brought a 2GB Ultra II MicroSD card after installing the card into the Tytn it shows up as 1.8GB i've lost 2GB any suggestions.
Thanks

use a card reader and format it to FAT32 (fat16 or fat cannot read past 1 gig)

Since the reading is 1.8GB you appear to lose .2GB. BUT there are two ways to measure a "Byte"
This site summarises the issue nicely and you can rest assured you are not losing anything!

Where did you get it? I have been looking for one....

Is that correct?
I'm pretty sure that Fat (Fat16) is able to read up to 2GB. It's if, and when we move to 4GB that Fat32 is necessary.

You are right:
Wikipedia does a nice table on both file size limits and volume size limits:

Mike

a 2gb card will always show up as 1.8gb.. they read 1k bytes as a megabyte instead of 1.2k bytes which is how everyone else measures.. So you really do have a "2" gb card(the way they see it) but on the phone and your computer, it's only 1.8gb

Hi I brought it from my local computer fair for £30, its a very fast card, I've just formated it using Fat32, and its working better than before. My reason for buying a 2Gb card is when I play music for more than an hour using a 1GB card the Tytn freezes, so I thought if it has more memory to paly with then it will not freeze.
I could be wrong, i'll let you know after the test.
I've just discoverd that under sync on windows media player you can format the micro card directly on the Tytn
Thanks for all your help

You're on the right track, but to be more clear and specific:
memorys and harddrives etc. are announced as binary bits for some reason, in this case 2 000 000 000 bits.
For example 1kb is kilo bits because it is based on the metric system and a metric "kilo" is 1000,
but the real space is measured in bytes. And 1kB is 1024 bits. (Not 1.2k which is 1200)
So the 2Gb (bits) is in bytes about 1.86GB.
You divide 2*10^9 with kilobytes (1024) three times.
data is normally measured in binary code, the prefixes for the multiples are based on the metric system.
And the nearest binary number to 1000 is 2^10 or 1024. That's why 1024 bytes was named a kilobyte. (notice difference between bit and byte.)

that doesnt answer his question or the same question i was just thinking lol.
the Ultra II micro card that exists i thought was a 1gb. atleast, a real one. the rest are just fake ones people have made that say 2gb ultra II on the outside but really are just a normal speed card.
even on the SD website it doesnt show Ultra II 2gb micro cards yet.
hav u guys found a link to a real Ultra II micro sd card (besides ebay lol)

Could someone advise what the best settings are for a ScanDisk 2gb standard microSD?
-Which FAT?
-Which clusters' size?

Unless you are not overly concerned about wasted space then avoid FAT (AKA FAT 12), FAT 16 and go for FAT 32 with its greater number of sectors of a smaller size = less wasted space. Sector size between 0.5 and 4kb should be fine - you decide balance of speed against performance.

Smallest MicroSD card reader

Hi,
I found this thing :
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6108
Anyone has that?
Does it work with MicroSDHC card (6 GB or 8 GB) ?
Thanks.

This is ridiculously small. It's fantastic, I'm sold on getting one.
Your question was answered on the website at the bottom.

The factory says yes but we don't have such card here to test for it. If you're intending to use it for 4GB tf only, then I suggest you to wait for our in-house test confirmation first.

Just curious, does it matter at all that it doesn't say SDHC compatible? Will it slow down data transfers? I saw one similiar on mobileplanet, but didn't order because of that.
I got this one instead: http://sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1385)-SanDisk_MobileMate_Micro_Readers.aspx
It has the same type of keychain, and is very small as well. But, it says microSD, microSDHC, and M2 compatible.
I've got a smaller one, £5 off ebay. Be careful though, they can bend and could cause damage to your MicroSD.

Yeah, I think it's the same hardware. It's extremely useful for sucking off data from pcs that you shouldn't be touching, as the device can be barely seen protruding from a USB port.

But it does not say that it supports MicroSDHC, especially 6 GB and 8 GB.

thanks, I can get the adata one's in hong kong, but it's useless for me to buy the adata version with 1 GB or 2GB, i have no use for the memory card, to be honest , all my 1GB and 2GB microsd that I have , has all been given away, my smallest ones are 4GB now.
Vijay say's he got it from ebay for 5 USD, that's why i asked.
@gogol
it does not have to actually stated it for it to support it, search the forum for my test on micro sd, then you will get your anwser.

Can someone tell me the max supported size of micro-SD memory card by T-mobile Wing?
I am using the 2 GB kingston and am looking for next higher capacity.
Thanks.
i have a 4gig, but i have read that some people have 8 running. i think i came across 16g being the max, but im not sure.
Thanks!
Can you also check and tell me if it is regular SD or SDHC?

Hello, I just recieved my 16 gig memory card and was very happy to see it compatible with my phone. So I can't comment on the 32 gig but feel free to enjoy the 16 gig.
When I got my wing, the Tmobile rep said not to use anything higher than a 4gb card. He was quite dramatic when he leaned over the counter and said it.
Sandisk 4 GB SDHC here. No problems.
I have an 8gig sdhc...works great!!!
I am using a 16gb

He's an idiot.
I'm using 16 gig
16 gig Kingston with no changes in access time. looking forward to getting a 32 gig.
The Wing supports SDHC Cards (All SDHC Cards use the same Technology to store information)
Any Card 4GB+ is considered SDHC
Therefore, any card that is SDHC, would be supported, as long as the technology doesn't change as the sizes get bigger and bigger.
And BTW, if anyone spends the $$ on a 32GB, maybe they should be donating to our Cooks instead... haha
i use a 16gig microcenter memory card.

anyway, the 4 gig one is so inexpensive I have bought an extra one just for the convenience of the USB Reader ! (no, I am not a sales rep; I just like spreading the good word about must-have products that are competitive to the Market Leader, SanDisk.

Max Capacity and Performance Class for MicroSD card on TP

Ok, since i tell that money is not a problem.
I want to know what is the biggest and fastest Micro SD card available for the HTC Touch Pro.
Anyone can tell if have tried the 32 Gb SDHC Class 10??? or higher (if exists 64gb)...
Thanks in advance...
class 6 16GB is the fastest/biggest you can get.
Kingston has a 16GB, class 10 micro sd card. Is there any limit in class that the phone can handle?

LMAO i couldnt stop laughing when i read this.
SD CARD LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!
rofl i lol'd too. im sure it was an oversight or something. anyway im still curious if the device can even use the whole transfer rate offered by a class six. Can anyone confirm that this phone can utilize a class 6 to its full potential?
*so i read up that wiki. according to that then there is no point in getting anything over a class two since the top speed it hits with a class 6 is .5 MB/s and the class 2 bandwidth limit is 2Mb/s*
sooooo any thoughts on this?
sandisk does have a 32gb microsd.... but it's class 2 and $200
http://sandisk.com/products/mobile-memory-products/sandisk-microsdhc
not in stock now though.... it was a bit back....
neato, but if it was in stock wouldn't it have the same performance on our phone as a class 6? From what i wrote earlier, i believe our speed is capped by a hardware limitation so 4+ class speeds wont help?.
id really like an expert to confirm this.
I would also like an experts advice on this matter... I am stuck with a 2g micro card and am looking to buy the biggest one I can stick in my phone.
Thanks for any input.

Depends on how soon you want it. Also, I presume you are using a similar device to the TP... I was in a BestBuy recently and they had an 8gb microsd in-stock! The only place I was able to get a 16gb microsd(class 2), was online unfortunately. Of course, I did see a few 32GB usb sticks for under $100 and grabbed one up, several months ago...
Also, as physical proof that a 16gb card will work/be recognized:

Does the class count?! This week i would like to buy a 16GB class 10 card?! will it work? i'm not interested in the speed. im just interested in it to work in the phone 4 downloading movies over the internet & such...
save money, get a slower class. 16 gb works.
Let's bring this thread up to date now in 2016 I can confirm 128gb and 200gb micro sd cards work in my T7272.

Class 10 Kingston speed problems

A while back I ordered kingstons new class 10 16gb sdhc microsd card. when it came i was using it on my hero but never had great speeds. me being a dumbass thought it was the hero's fault and never payed attention to it. well when I got my evo people reported really fast speeds with class 6 cards and i realized its something wrong with my card (durrr).
so I sent it in last week and they gave me a replacement today. the first thing i did was pop it in my phone and partition it with swap and ext2. I then saw people on here (xda) having problems with ext2 and kingston's cards. To my dismay, i found my card writing at the dreadful speed of 3.5MB/s. I did a few benchmarks and sure enough, it was consistently capping around 3.5MB/s. I formatted it to a few different FS's and found that NTFS was fast at first then quickly came to a halt and froze. FAT32 with many different allocation sizes stayed at 3.5MB/s.
let me point out, all of my formats were on my phone or a quick format so right now I am trying a complete format that checks for errors.. I am not totally convinced this will work but i have some hope. only problem is its taking its sweet time sooo I came here in the meantime.
Should I send the card back and never format the new one with ext? is there something that I can do to the card that will fix the speed?
any help would be greatly appreciated.. sorry for the long ass post
im having these problems with my patriot class 10 also... ive read up about how formatting it will always change the allocation unit size to a lower value than it comes with. i had to go through linux (used slax) to change my allocation unit size to a max of 128kilobytes since windows only formats a fat32 partition. anyways my write speed went up 1 megabyte a second and read stayed the same. so now it shows as a class 6... help anyone...
btw try this guide
http://www.patriotmem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3696
you can use slax to just boot linux from a cd... and instead of using the command mkfs.vfat use mkdosfs
thanks for that man.
i talked to kingston via email today and he said to try coping big files since most sdcards dont do super fast write speeds on pictures and music. so I did and sure enough, I was getting faster speeds but I did change my cluster size to about 4000kb instead of 32. so I guess you will get slow write speeds on smallish files

if you formatted under windows and selected 4000 that means 4KB... notice how there is a K after 32 and 16... 4000bytes is 4kylobytes...
just basic
I posted this before and I'll post again...
You can run a class 10 card in this phone, but the phone doesn't support class 10 speeds.... yet....

yes (s)he was misinformed... but you only half handedly helped... what card, how you formatted or posting the link to where you previously wrote this info if you already did would help the OP/2ndP, which you'd think would be more important/helpful than just blasting someone else in the thread.

64GB Micro SD card WORKS!

just formatted it with EASYUS to FAT32 and it works. Copied my 32gb content over and did not even have to redo my home screens. I also partitioned it to use with link2sd but have not yet tried out linking any apps.
Sweet dude where did you find one of them? I've been looking but no go so far
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
well done...
any screenshot, to confirm...
i'm going to buy it, if it really works....
thanks...
I bought from play.com directly and it works. I saw them on amazon.co.uk cheaper but the one from amazon says 2-4 weeks delivery and the one from their market place third party i did not want to take the risk with. I can do the screenshot later but I promise you it works. I made it into two partitions now one FAT32 and another ext2 for link2sd and started moving some apps incl data and library files to get more internal space. so far a did only a couple of apps and after reboot it shows more free internal memory but I want to do more to see proper effect. will report on that later.
SDHC or SDXC?
Ok, we'll wait for it, can you show us also the storage info screenshot of your link2sd, I just wanna see how you did that 2 partition, mine has ext2 only..

hwowowo ,i can't really imaging . . . .the Xperia Play can use 64Gb micro SD ,really impressive . . .maybe in early time i must by 64 GB for my PLAY ,good thank for you
Forgive me for not really understanding this thread, but a few questions:
Why is it so amazing that a 64gb SD card works? Why wouldn't a 64gb SD card work? Is this likely to only work with certain brands or certain phones? If I get a sandisk 64gb SD card should I expect any problems?

The Xperia Play is listed as only having an SDHC MicroSD port. SDHC officially, only supports up to 32GB per the specifications. The newer SDXC specification supports capacities up to 2TB.
That said, I think the OP poster should use one of the the free testing apps in the market like SD Card Tester, etc. to try filling up the card with real data. I've often seen cases of cards reporting more capacity than they can actually hold/access and errors may not occur until you try to actually fill up the space with real data despite the reported capacity from the OS appearing ok. This is especially common with Chinese e-bay sellers, etc. selling mislabeled memory cards that start giving errors when you start filling them up.

I know what you mean that's way did not even wont to buy from marketplace amazon sellers just in case they had fakes for some reason. I have filled it with the content of almost full 32GB card and did not have any problems yet - most fake cards are much smaller capacity than 32gb so I don't think I will have a problem.

The reason I was so amazed is that I asked people on the forum here and was told it would not work above 32GB but it does. Someone on the tablet did the same thing with 128GB SD card but not micro form factor. So now we know and I hope it helps someone who like me before was not sure if it would work.

Try going over 32gb with data and see what happens when trying to read it back. The free SD card tester in the market can make it very easy..slide the slider to the right and see how it does.

thanks for the screenshot you provided...
again question...
any lag with HD games?
I find it faster but it could be because I also started using app2sd and now have more internal memory. I used to get force close/wait messages before even in settings and play launcher menus and my low on space message would be triggered frequently - now it is no problem

I agree....until over 32GB of the card is full there's really no way of confirming this 100% works
Very close to filling it over 32gb. When final dexter is aired i will fill it over 32gb and test.

Hi, I just bought a Sandisk 64GB card for my Xperia Play and I can confirm it's working fine. I used the above app to verify my card that already had about 14GB of data on it, which can also be seen in the screenshot below (the max amount of data i could test was ~46GB, which is about right... 60-14 = 46).
I set it to write another 25GB for a total of ~39GB and it had to problems.
This took about three hours to test, and if i shut off the screen it stopped testing... as you can see my battery almost died. I'm glad I didn't try filling it up fully
Anyway, I hope this helps someone.
