i just bought a 4gb topram mini sd card. i saw that most pocket pc read thisbut then again i wanna be sure ....
does the o2 xda atom (the one with the 416 mhz processor) read a 4gb card?
pls reply soon...i need to know
I'm trying to figure out the same thing myself.
The official O2 Website says that the maximum mini sd card they've tested is 2GB.
I'm not sure if a 4GB one will work.... I dunno??

Hi, I was using a 4gb mini SD card on my Atom until recently when I brought Gigabyte GSmart i300. So, there shouldn't be any problems.

Thanks for sharing the info.... would you reckon a Sandisk 4gb mini SD will work on the original atom ?
There are 4gig miniSDs? I only heard of 4gig miniSDHC. If SDHC worked on Atom, I'll be wildly happy. >_>
wats the difference between SDHC and mini SD?
omg thanks Invisible Sense for the info, i just hope this one actually works on mine cos i cant be sure, it could depend on the memory card make or firmware version.
and yer, its been mentioned in quite a lot of sites around...wot exactly is the difference between sd and sdhc? someone reply pls
sdhc is new tech pretty much, lets manufactures to make higher capacity... and the HC is just that means high capacity, they come in ratings of class 2-6 atm as far as speeds, unlike the sd ones which would have like x50 x120 x150 etc... and it will say most time sdhc or sd high capacity
i believe it has to be hardware support for sdhc, so no firmware cant just be made for it to work without hardware change
i am using a utek 4g mini sd on my atom life, transferred more than 3g of mp3s and movies to the 4g mini sd, so far so good, no problem at all with the utek 4g mini sd, hope this helps.
does it affect the memory?
the hc only varies speed right? not like 4 gb equivalent to 8? cos its high CAPACITY not high PERFORMANCE :S which should be associated with speed. i dont get it ..
capacity means contain...contain is storage....
oh and atom life is one of the best out right now ..so it would obviously take a 4gb card..i meant the normal regular O2 xda atom
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card#SDHC
that might help you understand the difference
Disregarding the wiki, the difference is not just in the storage. It's in the driver. The limits are hardcoded and you have to redo the entire driver just to get it to read - and because these drivers are proprietary, you only get SDHC if your vendor chooses to integrate 'em. You're otherwise sadly out of luck.
(I still think SDHC doesn't require new hardware - vendors are spewing out a load of crock as an excuse to not support the older stuff. Especially when you consider that there exist camera firmware updates that convert slots for SDHC use out there - for cameras that were made WAY before even the 2.0 format was on the table. Even Sony's memory stick slots only required a driver update - SD, the reverse engineered clone of the Memory Stick standard, should not be any different.)
I have a Adata MyFlash 4MB x150 card and this runs fine, the TT5 runs of this and is very quick, no problems with WMA or camera pics.
By the way this is an XDA Exec, latest firmware

How is the speed on the card though? Is it slower than say a 2gb do u know?
I did have a 2gb miniSD before and can't tell any difference.
I do transfer a lot of data such as movies and music so have been used to the speed of the two cards. I will say though, having a 4gb card was far more important to me then speed, therefore I didn't care about the speed much.
My new phone Gigabyte i300 comes with USB 2.0 and I must say the speed of data transfer is amazingly quick.

Yeah you're right...... as long as it ain't too slow, speed isn't as much an issue as capacity.
I just bought an atom a couple of weeks back....I think I'll go for the 4gb card when my atom arrives!
Thanks a million for sharing the info!
many thanks
thanks for all the info ... uv really helped me out... many members here seem enthusiastic to help out...im glad i found this forum. ill let u guys know when i receive the card. i bought it from ebay btw...just in case anyone wants to know where i purchased it..
thanks
well when you think of the speeds, IMO it is a big deal esp when running apps on the miniSD anything that will precache etc...
but you might not notice speed difference because depending on your device, you might have to plug the card into a usb 2.0 card reader to get the benefits of higher speeds... and even then some card readers cant match it...
all i know is through device its slow if your using hte active sync i belive, if you do like one some devices as a card reader i believe it will work with usb 2.0 then, but active sync might be slow 1.1 usb?
also it seems that on the US side, the good high mem 2gb 4gb miniSD are missing, ebay has some but some brands are crap and going with oem can be fishy, if you guys read the issues with the other 4gb cards dieing and what not..

It's been 10 months since I bought my Athena. I was invited to do a review on it on the Mobilehornet site.
Here is the first installment of my review, hot from the press today.

Enjoy.
Nice Start
nice review, looking forward to reading your later installments
nice review ... i have mixed feelings about the md ... sureley 8gb ssd is doable and i would prefer that...
but the thing that initially set microdrive apart from the standard CF card when it first came out was the fact that it had immensly more storage compared to CF cards at the time..
so what you have to ask is why choose to only put in a 8gb when higher capacities are doable ?
These are all the five parts of the post review on Athena. Enjoy!

I would love to get my hand on a x7510 too. ATM, all I know is that
1) it has 16GB SDD memory instead of the 8GB Microdrive. The capacity per se is not really an attraction for me, and I suspect for most users, as most of us are still prabably not using up a small portion of 8GB, given the ability to have large capacity microSDHC. But the fact that it is SDD is an attraction, abeit not a strong one, from the viewpoint of battery life, and hopefully reliability (an assumption at this stage, from my viewpoint). Currently I install almost all my programs on the microdrive (about 70 active ones and over 100 in total if I include those which I have uninstalled), and use only about 1 GB out of the total 8GB. All my big consuming files are in the microSHDC. This offers me the advantage of being able to change my storage card without affecting the device function, and offers unlimited logical capacity.
2) Better keyboard but losing out 4 hardware buttons. This to me is the real deciding factor. For those who prefer to use it notebook style, then the absence of hardware buttons is not an issue. For those who prefer to use it tablet style, however, the keyboard does not come into the equation while the lost of hardware buttons is a very serious concern. There are just too many things that you need the hardware buttons for. Just to list a few here:
- moving from one email to another.
- changing from one email account to another.
- changing the volume in MP3
- Go to next and previous songs in MP3
- blank out the screen or bring back the screen in MP3
- Pausing and resuming in MP3
With the hardware button, I could put my Athena in the pouch and never have to take it out while using the MP3. Without it, I need to take it out just to do simple thing like pausing and resuming.
The list goes on...
For me at least, x7510 is a significant disadvantage compared to the X750X, for reasons listed above.

Yes, I agree about the buttons. I guess whoever designed it does not own one.
But the memory form (SSD) is another factor for me. Being 16 GB is another plus.
I intend to use it the same way as you do. Install all capable apps to the SSD 16 GB and all songs, movies, files, etc... to the micro SD.
I have a question, does the X7500 support SDHC? Is there a limit?

Your link shows a microSDHC, not a SDHC.
To summarise,it would not supper SD and SDHC, but would support microSD, microSDHC, miniSD, and miniSDHC.
To use micro sized cards, you need an adaptor.
There seems to be a slight misunderstanding of terms here.
Strictly speaking, you are right eaglesteve but I believe cktlcmd was using SDHC in the more generic term as just the HC part of it and was fully aware of the physical siuze differences and was asking about the Highr capacities so was really asking

No problem mates. Whenever SDHC is used, I have a very specific size is mind, but I know sometimes it is used loosely which creates confusion in communication. Anyway, glad that your question is fully answered. Cheers.
I think there is one more big 'advantage' of x7510 over x7501. x7510 offers USB 2.0 so can now think of using it as PMC. Not to mention the great reliabilty of SSD
anybody has experience with one of these?
does it slow down the htc hero??
i have a lot of music on my hero and i notice everytime the hero needs to access the sd card it lags a bit, i notice it when i open albums and when i open my music library it lags for a little like if it scans the whole sd card first,
so im thinking the more space the sd card has the more it will lag for these things, anybody got one and can share their experience?
More space != more lag
If you have a faster card it MIGHT have a better chance at faster access. So a class 2 card might seem slow compared with a class 6 card. I haven't seen a definitive test performed on the Hero and the different card classes throughput though.
A card with equal throughput (class speed) will require approximately equal lag time whether the card is a 2gb, 32gb, or anything in between.
Since this is on the topic of sd card, where's the cheapest place to get these?
I've found 8gb class 6 cards on Amazon, but as for 16gb and 32 gb class 6, it seems a little ridiculous in price difference.

Excerpt:
This is what HTC told me [when I asked what class card to purchase]:
"Good Morning Frank,
Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC America Technical Support via E-Mail with your inquiry about what class of SD card to use in your Sprint HTC Hero. My name is A.J. and I will be happy to assist you today.
If you are looking to purchase an SD card that the device will read at its full native speed you will need to purchase a class 2. The device will read a class 4 but not at its native speeds.
Frank, if you have any future questions about your device please feel free to visit HTC - Touch Phone, PDA Phone, Smartphone, Mobile Computer and send us another e-mail. You may also enjoy HTC Smartphone Wiki - HTC, which has a plethora of information on HTC devices, including the Sprint HTC Hero! I would also like to invite you to participate in a customer satisfaction survey located at HTC Online Survey I hope you have a great day!

So it looks like the HTC Hero will read class 2, 4 and 6, but not at the native speeds for 4 and 6. So it seems like a moot point of "what class to buy" if the data bus isn't going to take advantage of a faster card.

It's a hardware aspect, like our cpu and ram.
has this been verified by any benchmarks or can it be? i'm thinking about jumping off on a bigger card, just haven't seen anything definitive about it
i've heard severa people report speed increases by using class 4 or 6 cards. Might not be native speeds but faster than class 2... just a thought.
Currently I'm using a kingston class 4 and the speed difference in loading music or pics off the card is not noticable. I got it for APPS2SD and Linux Swap whenever someone decides to utilize it in a rom.
Can someone post a link to a 32GB card? I can only find dual 16s from Tropam.
I thought San Disk wasn't releasing the 32 GB stuff until next year because they are hit/miss on full storage capacity still.

this year I guess...lol.

tbh i can't find one either... maybe they aren't even released yet? i will keep looking
on my question though...
is there, or can there be, an app that reads/writes test files from the microsd card and tells you how long it took to read/write.... you know, a benchmark... seems the only way to be able to tell if there is a real diff between the classes
from wikipedia
"In February 2009 Sandisk also announced a 32 GB version for the second half of 2009,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroSD#cite_note-4 but as per end December 2009 it is not listed yet."
The Hero has no problem significantly exceeding the capabilities of a Class 2 card.
Using the C2 card the phone came with, Windows 7 reports reads maxing out at about 3 MB/s. Using a C6 card that I bought, Win7 reads at 10 MB/s and writes at 6.5 MB/s.
if anyone experienced in java wants to take a crack at it, maybe they could write a native app to benchmark r/w speeds of our sd cards. I think that would be rather handy to have even if it was limited in usefulness.

No, because it's using the phone's hardware. I'm not taking the card out of the phone - I'm plugging the phone into the computer.
I ran some benchmark program called ATTO or something last night, and it was consistently giving me 5 MB/s with the Class 6 card and 2.5-3 MB/s with the Class 2.

The contention is that the card-reading hardware in the phone is incapable of read/write speeds greater than "class 2" speeds. The OS has no card writing speed limitations built-in.
Looking at the Anandtech review, I saw them mention that the Optimus has a Micro SD slot, in addition to the 16GB on board.
Is this correct?
No ti doesn't. It is a rule from Microsoft that all new Windows Phone 7 MUST have a built in memory.

Yes, but a SD card is a built in memory! All HTC WinPhone 7 devices have "just" SD cards as additional internal memory, it's cheaper thand NANDs!
On engadget.com or pocketnow.com you can watch some videos about this. One user plugged a 32gb sd card in his HD7!!!
But I don't know if the Optimus 7 has a sd card or a NAND...

As the other guy said, false, look at the focus!
Seeing as the focus isn't being released outside the USA, the optimus is the best bet.
Anyway, the device is out, somebody must be able to confirm.
Actually the Focus is now available on Rogers in Canada as well...
And Samsung is quite generous when you describe your needs to them on their Direct phone line, and they provided me with an unlock code...
Has anyone discovered if LG Optimus 7 have a microsd slot?
Im sure it does however its not accessable without dismantiling the phone.
I wish someone would tear this badboy down and let us have a look inside.
Yeah me too! Most other devices have been ripped apart but i haven't heard anything about the Optimus 7
Yeah, this would be pretty important to me too, since its the only device with internal memory + microSD. If its easy to access this would be a very interesting phone since I need at least my 32GB of storage, better would be more.

Oh come on buddy, nearly every WP7 device has a SD slot, of course not swapable, but it is in there.
The Optimus 7 has 4GB NAND and 4GB SDRAM, therefore 8GB left over for a SDcard somewhere in there, but: where?

Where did you hear it had 4GB NAND and 8GB in the SDcard slot? I believe you, I'm just curious. I am pretty sure all WP7 "have" to have an SDcard slot because the SD Card Association said WP7s support SD cards across the board (just not necessarily consumer accessible). Like I said, someone needs to tear this guy down.
I read it here:
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/...&utm_campaign=Feed:+pocketnow+(pocketnow.com)
Is that correct? Don't know.
But there's surely NAND in there, that's why it loads heavy duty apps way faster than other phones.
I'm buying this phone tomorrow, and will take it apart/provide pictures if there is enough interest. Let me know what you guys think!

Sorry to disappoint guys, I do not possess screwdrivers small enough to open this thing up. I have a set of electronics screwdrivers going all the way down to Phillips Head PH000 but it would need to be at least a PH0000 to open those small little screws. Love the device though! I will pick up a proper screwdriver, but I don't even know where to go about looking for one in Canada.
Oh, what a pity. But shouldn't every DIY store have those?
I have bad news...I took the phone apart completely, all the way down to its component elements and there is no SD slot or card. The 16 GB is NAND and soldered to the board. I will post pictures I took in a different thread for teardown purposes.
I had a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 6 card and I wondered if my Mango-tized HD2 would even recognize it.
It certainly appears to. I dunno, but that seems like news.

Id say thats news given that 64GB Micro SDs didnt exist when our HD2 was born.
To be honest, i dunno what id use that much space for, i dont think id ever fill a 32GB SD let alone that monster!
There was a time when id have dual booted android, but i cant be bothered with all that now WP is pretty much perfect on the HD2,
Hi.... Just wondering... Did you experience any change in battery drain and smooth running of the rom after installing 64gig sd card ,
And which rom unr using currently...
This is epic for someone like me! I'm one of those people that fills up 16 gigs in no time flat! 32 sounds nice, but 64 gigs!!!! I'm in heaven, I need to get one. How much did the 64gb card cost you?
Any updates on whether this works yet? I would like to upgrade from 32Gb soon.

Seems he has 64gb working, what's your battery life like with that card? I think SD card the main reason we all experience such different levels of life...

I also saw a bid on YouTube for the Hd7 folks of someone stripping down phone and fitting a 64gb SD in.

wow. amazing. does it mean that hd2 supports part of SDXC? can you use all of the storage volume;about 59GB?
I have mine split, but yes if you so choose, you can use all of the storage on the sd card, currently i have Everything working on the phone, running really smooth, only thing is that my carrier signal/reception is good, but for some reason the radio on this rom seems weaker than normal, Question for anyone that knows, is there a better one ready yet, I am on Orange.

THing with Radios is that firstly we have 2 different radios to deal with, and secondly different networks and signal strength areas will do better with different radios, so you may find that the latest and greatest radio is actually worse than the first radio available because its been stripped from a phone on say, the O2 network.
Trial and error appears to be the best, or ask folk on your network what they use, ideally in your own country and even better near you,

According to the SETTINGS|about page, I have 59.25GB Total Storage.
Battery life is not stellar, though I haven't really done any work to optimize that.
SDXC
Basically... All SDXC cards will work...
The thing is, this is how the cards are supposed to be shipped:
SD => FAT
SDHC => FAT32
SDXC => exFAT
Any SDXC card can be formatted as FAT32 to work with SDHC compatible devices. The OS "decides" how much of the storage capacity can actually be allocated.
Since microsoft probably took note of SDXC during development, windows phone uses a file format that either supports exFAT (which is a MS file format) or formats the cards in a file system that supports over 64gigs. Windows phone supports SD cards under 32 gig, so it supports FAT32 and FAT anyways (to be reformatted in the device)
Long story short, as soon as a device supports exFAT it is SDXC compatible. if a device supports FAT32, any SD card formatted in FAT32 works.
Will the 64GB SDXC card work with the original Windows Mobile 6.5 ?
Does exFAT work on WM6.5?
Wohooooo 64 Gb for what?
Yep got a dual booting 64gb SanDisk class 6 over here.
30.8 in windows
30.5 in android
(couldn't find a way to put more in android than windows b/c ad sd and wp7 nand.)
Battery drain seems the same. Check everytime I boot constantly to see if the current is -400 or -4.
Such a pain in the anus.
Go hd2!!!!!!!

Doing the samething here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711310
Seeing as how Windows Phones uses the partition type exFAT, it'd be no problem picking up the 64Gb card since that is what it is formatted as.

In regards to the SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC...over the last couple of days I installed the NexusHD2 v2.3 and set the card up with 8GB EXT4 and 52GB FAT32. It ran slightly slower than NAND but I adjusted the CPU speed to compensate and overall a darn good experience. My next adventure was to dual boot both NexusHD2 and Pdaimatejam's WP7.8 and I split the card pretty much right down the middle taken into account the 200MB FAT32 WP7.8 creates upon it being deleted and for one brief moment you have only 2 partitions before continuing to create the EXT4 partition. WP7.8 will works up to a point and then begins the reboot loop. I understand there's a way to image a smaller memory card onto the 64 gig card and that's what I will be doing next. In the meanwhile I did successfully load Pdaimatejam's ROM into NAND but the key here is that card must be formatted as exFAT; otherwise it too will reboot endlessly. My only use for Android are CoPilot Navigation and Google Navigation and Skype; otherwise I prefer Windows Phone for one reason and one only; it runs as smooth as silk but WP7.8 lacks what WP8.x now haves...good GPS Navs, what my Titans and HD2 have is customization and that is a sticking point for me in regards to upgrading to the Lumia 92x series.
Guys, newest sandisk 64gb microSDXC will fit Defy?
http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile1-memory-products/sandisk-ultra-microsdxc-card
It will fit in nicely becuse it is the same size as the microSDHC.
It doesnt work out of box ;you have to format it in the phone..then you' ll get 59 GB of free space.
No, i dont have it but i have read about it and it works in htc,samsung..
According to specs, memory is upgrade-able only to 32gb.
Will a 64gb card work?
I think you should take the risk and test it yourself
So does it work? That´s a very nice sd card
the defy supports 32gb sd official. 64 gb not supported. I think for any phone 16gb is stable for space and speed. how do they fill up 32gb?!

There are also reports that they are working on many older devices for those wondering. Some include the EVO 4G, original Galaxy S, and even the HTC Desire Z (aka T-Mobile G2). With both old and new, smartphones and tablets being able to take advantage of the 64GB SD cards this is a good sign many more will have the same fate. We can only assume manufacturers didn’t state SDXC support because none were out on the market at time of launch, or maybe there are other reasons yet unknown.
At first insert the device may say corrupt or error, just reformat your 64GB card inside the Android phone or tablet and you’re good to go. While many are currently working, this doesn’t mean they have full support. The chance of the cards failing, getting errors, and possibly losing all your stored data is still a possibility so use at your own risk for now. Hopefully we see more 64GB SDXC cards soon and at lower prices because $219 is a bit steep for me. — Thanks Murray!

SDXC cards use exfat file system. If defy doesnt support that then it probably wont work.
Ive seen reports of it being working on a lot of phones, so there's a chance it might work on defy, but the card needs to be formatted on pc first before using on phone and it wont work at full speed due to limitation on the old sdhc reader (sdxc reader is faster)
I'm asking to avoid risks ).
Why 64gb? Cause i have 32gb card and it have about 4gb left. Actually last few month i've forced to clean up card from time to time. Audiobooks, DVR, Navigation software, record lections on dictaphone... That stuff takes space but i've used not to worry about `if do i have avaliable space left` ). Also this card declares class 6, now i own Sandisk/32gb class 2, so it not just larger, it laso should be faster. Sometimes DVR+Navigation provides some lags, for example.
maybe the max is 32GB,class 10
you can buy but i thin you will see only 32gb space...
can defy uses class 10 sd card? i heard there is problem in taking picture with class 10 card...
read posts on XDA, yes it has a problem with 6 and 10 class
CM7 and miui can run fine class 10 cards now.

SDXC on Defy?
It really works on Defy. I own one for a month now. Cost 80€/106$. Absolutely no problems after format. 59GB free. About 6MB/s write, 16MB/s read speed. Have fun.
Greater than 32Gb?
Biggest I've used is a 32Gb class 10. No problems at all.
Android police posted a review. Looks good.

This is funny yet strange. Why you think an article on a website has more truth than a forum post of a member? Both are written by a single person. Both can be faked or real.
The guy on the website used a newer Tegra device so his article is irrelevant for Defy users. The SDXC in my Defy works flawlessly for weeks now with 20GB free space left.
Of course you can ignore this. I don't care. But if you need space buy the SDXC and have fun.

I wasn't doubting your experience with the card, I was just posting another source of info about it complete with benchmarks etc.
Glad you like the card.
