I am shopping for big SD Card with Xmas Bonus :lol:
I have searched but can't find any info on the maximum adressable memory for storage card slot or advanced specs to match cards, can anyone shed some light?
I had been using a 2gb card since I got my Universal in October and just today received my 4gb card in the mail. I transfered everything over (plus a lot more) including several programs that are installed to the storage card and it's been fine so far.
I have a 1GB card now, 4gb is the largest available at the moment, but we should be seeing 16 and 32 GB cards next year , look here:
http://www.sdcard.com/europe/TextPage.asp?Page=2
The universal must have a limit on adressable memory and I wondered where we would have to stop? Also what is the card speed, there are 133x and 150x around, is it worth getting the faster cards or what?

Dont bother, doesnt make a blind bit of difference to your PPC... only when transferring data to your desk/lap top... high speed cards are for high end digicams
philtech44 - now i understand why transfer takes longer through activesync to device than card reader many thanks
my 1GB card is an integral, cost £40 from local indie phone shop
Hello all, anyone know what the max card support for the universals sd/mmc reader is
Thanks
Hi there,
If I'm not wrong, the manual says clearly that universal can read/write SD cards up to 2GB (unless someone with a better expertise than me knows something different).
In any case, this is not completely right, many people uses 4GB cards (including me), but it seems that not all the applications can cope with them, photo camera is one of them, if I'm not wrong, it will not save the photos to the SD unless it has 2GB or less free space.
Somewhere else in this forum, someone else said that he even uses a sam..ung 8GB SD card (very expensive).
Hope this helps

Yup i use a 8GB Samsung SD Card to watch DVD's. I dont have the time to encode DVD's to avi xvid format so i just copy them directly to the 8GB card and watch them on the tcpmp player. Quite fun i believe. I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card release by samsung and sandisk.
im using the 4gb 150x sd card from mobymemory (£47) no probs! nice and quick too noticed tomtom load quicker.
also im using the newest qtek rom and the camera stores to card no probs (dont have to have 2gb used as per some other complaints)
Im getting the 4gb Transcend sd card soon.. im currently using 2gb transcend but I soon realized it still isnt enough...the bigger, the better of course
nuclear, I don't understand... how is an 8GB SD card possible??? 4GB should be the absolute max.
Does the Universal support SDHC in one of the newer ROMs or something?

Well the device will always show you 2000MB regardless of the ROM. But you can put more than 2000MB on your 8GB card and it will read all the files and you can use them. Its just that at this part the memory monitor will show your SD card in the negative section or full. All SD Card are compatible in the HTC Universal. Enjoy.

Brain... does... not... compute.
Nuclear, I need more info. What card did you get? What brand? Is it SD or SDHC? How did you format it?
What's different about the Universal that makes it possible?!?

Its a SD. Samsung 150X 8GB SD Card for $200 or so. I formatted it when i insert it into the Universal. Then i hooked it up to my PC. Transfered a DVD into it. And then back into the Universal and it played the DVD!!!
Hmmm I got one of these

MUCH faster transfers when you put it straight in your PC. I'm thinking of getting the new 2Gb version soon

Thanks, ordering one now
iv currently got every single photo we have on our laptop of the kids (thousands) on the card. all my non vital apps, i just have handy menu, journal bar and a few others staying in the phones memory
then dumped the movies, saw3, world trade centre, happy feet and jackass2 on the card, plus tomtom uk & euro maps and still got just under a gig left

My Universal screwed up my precious 4GB SanDisk Extreme III card and my 8GB Samsung. Literally it made my 8GB to 2GB and my 4GB to 2GB. I lost 6GB of space on my 8GB card into nothing. I am contacting tech support all day and this is what they posted. THE MAX IS 2GB!!!! >>>>>.<<<<< scary ;(
http://www.sandisk.com/Compatibility/Device(8016)-i-mate-JasJar.aspx
I was going through the SD specifications, and it looks like that SD 1.1 could support up to 64GB (!!!) using 32KB clusters.
Unfortunately, this won't ever happen, since SD 2.0 flags anything above 2GB as a memory error.
8GB should be possible because FAT32 defaults to 4KB clusters, which would match. Larger capacity would need reformating to match the larger SD clusters, but technically it should be possible, IMHO.
So probably some of the Samsung OEMs do work at 8GB using SD 1.1. But I'm seeing the new auctions say SD 2.0 compatible only.
Oh well, I can live with 4GB, but I hope Windows Mobile adds support for SDHC and MMCplus.
Nuclear, the 4GB Sandisk I believe is SDHC, so it will probably screw things up. The 8GB Samsung you could probably reformat on your PC.
If you have an SDHC and an SD USB reader, use the SD one, as the SDHC one might force you down to 2 GB.
Hey, it's just my guess from reading the specs.

My SanDisk 4GB Extreme III is a SDHC? I was sure i bought a SD only. It says SD on it....
As for my 8GB my PC detects it as only 2GB. Reformatted and again only 2GB. I know another way to fix it. Partition MagiC!!! I lost 6GB in partition space. And same with the other 4GB card. Once i partition it every 2GB it will make 3 cards in 1 . Well stay tuned and i will let you know how paritioning the space helped.
i want buy 16gb memory but may be 32gb have unofficial support.......
You may be better off getting a 16GB card as the 32GB cards are extremely rare and extremely expensive.

It's a supported format if it's SDHC so it should work. I'd still go with the 16GB because it's the safer option and you don't need 32GB of space on a phone.

You should never say such things, your needs are different from others needs. My 16GB card has 50mo left

Lol... Well yeah, it's possible to fill any amount of space. Having said that, I'd say anything that isn't used on a fortnightly basis is superfulous and as such, I doubt you've got 16GB of 'vital' data?
On another note... the more data on the storage card the slower the indexing and performance. So, I'd weigh up 'needs' rather than 'wants'. Hell, I'd love a 32Gb SDHC crad for my phone, but I wouldn't need the space and so couldn't justify the expense or the reduced performance or risk incompatability.
Still, good point
crabby
very well, but can anyone JUST TRY to check compartibility ?
Well i use my X1a as my music player in my car, so my 16gb is filled up, 32gb would be super nice since i have tons of music i still wanna put on my X1, and a couple of movies i may add!!
Is there such a thing as a 32gb micro sd card? I've never seen it.
Does anyone has a link to where I can get one?
I'm using my 16gb, very satisfied with how much room there is!
A 32GB card ought to work, in my opinion.
I wonder what will be the benchmark for the 32Gb? will it be slower that the 16Gb.. for example for the Class 4... is the 16Gb slower that the 4Gb stock microSD of X1?
the x1 does support cards up to 32gb.
or aleast thats what sony said
32GB Micro SD cards cannot be purchased yet.
The link at the beginning of this thread pointed to SD cards, not micro SD.
As the Micro SD slots are so small, I thought it'd be nice to have two in a phone so you can easily add capacity. Mind you, I've still got an 8gb and it's got a wee bittie of room left on it
I`m not sure if you know, Leo is coming with 8 Gb SDHC enclosed...
I really doubt it. They never gave memory cards with their phones and I haven't read it anywhere. It's just going to be the carger, a link cable and some brochures....
hi, as far as i heard it comes with a 2 gb card. for me htc dont have to pack a card in the box at all, because my xmas whishlist has 32gb card on first position .
and have you been good this year?

Not true. HTC bundled 8GB SDHC MicroSD Memory Cards with all their Touch HDs.
I have also heard they will be supplying a 2GB MicroSD Memory Card with all HD2s.
why that step back?

32gb microSD don't exist yet or I missed something...
btw @ topicstarter, I've read 2GB almost everywhere. You have to wait for mid november to see the real packaging...
My HD2 was shipped with a 2GB card
I am still deliberating wether to get the HD2. One thing that worries me is the quite limited storage capacity with the microSD card. As far as I understand the microSD (SDHC) standard only supports up to 32GB capacities. I know 32GB is quite large, but I anticipate my needs will grow.
My question is - will HD2 be able to use the 64Gb, 128GB .... cards that come out probably one year from now.
Thanks for your help
Seeing 32GB cards aren't available yet, and we've been waiting for them for like 2 years, I'm pretty sure you'll have changed your HD2 before 64GB cards are here
But to the question, no idea. That would depend on whether drivers that support the new format extension are made available.
I believe 64GB is here in couple of months. Blackberry rumours are that new devices will come with support for 64GB microsd cards.
http://forums.crackberry.com/f2/32-64gb-micro-sd-cards-275113/
My friend ordered 2 usb sticks 64GB - 22USD each but I haven't seen them yet (I hope he gets them). That tells me that prices are still in freefall.
Sandisk is actually developing 128GB micorsd card: http://www.physorg.com/news143893844.html
I guess the problem is not with the sheer size of the microsd (ok that is important if you have a huge music library or movies or something else that needs to be on your phone all the time), but how fast it is while copying. If you put it in your phone and connect usb, how fast is it in disk mode? 20 MB/s?
HD2 has a microSDHD slot, which supports a maximum capacity of 32GB - or will it be able to use microSDXC cards? Is's probably more than a "firmware" upgrade from SDHC to SDXC.
I agree read and write speed are very important to - has anyone done any tests on the speed of the microSD slot?
20MB/s seems optimistic...
It's microSDHC... which means a maximum of 32GB.
microSDXC cards with more than 32GB will NOT work.

Well, SD to SDHC was a firmware upgrade away for many common controllers. But I've just done a little search and it seems that it might not be the case for SDHC to SDXC indeed.

It obviously depends a lot on the card used, some will take 3MB/s while some will take 20MB/s...
It does seem that it's a bit slower than a usual card reader, around 5MB/s with my class 6 8GB Sandisk card vs ~12 in a good card reader.
does HD2 support micro SDHC 64GB card?
Hi,
Here is a real eBay link to buy 64GB Micro SDHC card.
So we can put availability-problem aside.
Is it written in Micro SDHC specification that the limit is 32GB?
I dont see any 32GB size limit for Micro SDHC.
I would like to buy 64GB Micro SdHC
Can someone please tell me whether HD2 supports 64GB Micro SDHC?
Thanks in advance
Edit: confirmed that 64GB card works and its in use over a couple of years.

Just check in Google and don´t let Yourself be misled by wishful thinking: 32 GB mSD cards were announced by Sandisk in Feb 2009 and still we have to wait for shipping them by expansys or easydevices.co.uk until end of May 2010, maybe June..........
Do You really think an ebay-offer of 64GB is serious ? It is only that You BELIEVE in this offer since You badly want it ! It is like believing in a religion because You HOPE that someone else might tackle with Your problems and hopes. But there is NO such other, because it does not EXIST, as well as 64 GB mSD do not exist and will not exist for the next years.
Nobody will develop them, ´cause there will be no market for them ! When 64 GB + mSD cards can be built at a reasonable prize nobody would buy them ´cause everyone of the possible customers (esp. the people HERE = early adopters = tech freaks) will already have changed their devices 2-3 times to devices with mSDXC-standards (such as HTC HD3, HD4, HD5 .......... )
Don´t BELIEVE and HOPE, just KNOW and be REALISTIC: there will be no 64GB mSD-card .............

I just wanted to look for a bigger card than the stock 16GB, even a 32GB would do, nothing particular about 64GB, nor is looking for higher capacity card any pressing need.
I am least bothered to think so much about manufacturing trouble before looking for a higher capacity card, I dont give a damn about manufacturing trouble if any.
I just searched higher capacity card than 16GB and checked at one which happened to be 64GB.
There is no need to involve big things like hope or belief in something so unimportant or cheap as a SD card.
hello
Is there someone who really tested 64 or 128 GB SDXC, on HD2?
If i remenber well, 64gb is not possible

Yes, 64GB microSD works on HD2...
