Morning all,
Which SD card I should buy? So many on the market.. At this moment I'm interested in 1gb - but..
many different speeds, many different brands...
And prices.
Oh, and thos new SD ULTRA II- Faster, better?
I'm so confused- please, tell me!
So, guys: WHICH ONE SD CARD for my EXEC should I buy?
Thank you for any recomendations!
Cheers!
No one can point me to the right direction?
I don't mind spending a little bit more for better-faster product BUT I don't want to buy something which my EXEC wan't use correctly
Thanks in advance
Cheers!
Chris
this is kinda related to another post i replied to.
when i was using a 512 sandisk; the storage indicator said i had 480mb-plus free space...but when i loaded files i found out i could only put in up to 380-plusmb. the same happened to a bud's card; he was using kingston and same problems were there.
i now use 1gig toshiba and panasonic cards; i can store files up to 980-plus. no problems since then...

Thanks mate!
One more question- are they fast? Can you watch movies? Are they draining battery quickly?
I'd like to buy FAST SD card, best on the market (top shelve) which also wan't drain my bat. too quicly (as I'm frequent flayer)...
Thanks!
Chris
benchsmarks i've seen show that no pda's SD interface can keep up with the fastest card in these cases having a faster card only help when one use it in an usb2 sdcard reader
pocketmechanics have both benchmark tools and other results you can compare yours with
All SD cards should use about the same battery power, if they vary at all it won't be noticible in the real world.
Personally I'd go for storage over speed, I have an ADATA 2GB 150X card that cost £68.50 delivered (eBay) - this is cheaper than a lot of 1GB cards and fast enough to watch even DVD VOB files (tested on my PC)
Good price for 2GB.
Thank you.
I'm going to ebay right now...
Cheers!

Interesting to know is that I did a small and unprofessionel test with Windows Media player and a 60 MB video file on my Jasjar.
Both with the relatively slow 2 GB sandisk and with the Superfast Extrem III 1 GB sandisk the viode has hickups. So I have the impression that a faster SD card won't help you.
Good luck.

I'm using a ByteStor 1GB card with no problems. I've got nothing to compare the speed with, though, and I never watch films on my Exec.

You are right. The screen is too small anyway. But as a test it is nice.

Nop mate
I'm a frequent flyer on short distances (like 1,5-2 hours) so ALMOST 10kg with my 15.4" with AMD64 laptop just to watch one part of A-TEAM or Friends seems to be stuipid idea. And 'coz I'm rather poor person I'm flying in eco class so my laptop is just TOO BIG for this tiny space beetwen seats (tested on RyanAir (IMHO worst line ever), WizzAir, EasyJet, Lot, Eurolot (hmm, ATR=no free space beetwen seats), FlyBe, BA, and my favorite airline LUFTHANSA - always same thing, my laptop is too big).
I've found that EXEC is ALMOST perfect replacment fo my laptop in this matter! Is slow, is wth windows- but I can kill some time on the airplain plaing games OR watch movies.
Hmm, and ofcourse I can put some MP3 on it
Regards!

I'd certainly use my Exec for video & movies if I found a reliable way of encoding films for the machine. Would be perfect for my bored wife on long car journeys...

Anyone using a 4GB card? If so which make. Thank you.
So i was just wondering whats the highest storage the xda will take? i was thinking of buying a 4gb SD card you know if this would work on the exec/universal?
I saw somewhere last weekend that Sandisk is comming out with 8GB MiniSD cards.

The 4GB card works just fine on my Universal. I love it, never have to swap it out for a different one.
The only issue I've heard about (but isn't an issue for me) is that the camera won't let you save pictures to the card unless you have at least 2GB filled up. It's an issue with the way the camera application was written.

Hi kelford,
Its reported that this problem has been solved using QTEK 9000 latest ROM update

Does that ROM include the goofy battery indicator and jumping clock? I've avoided upgrading the ROM because 1) I don't really have any problems with the way it's running now, 2) I like the clock to stay where it is and 3) I don't need a battery indicator since I have Batti. Sort of a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
It's good to know they fixed it at least the camera thing though, thanks!
huh?
Dude the new rom is much quicker than old ones.

is the new ROM really quicker or is it the fact that installing 'any' ROM again and giving your decide a nice hard reset and wiping all other programs would speed up or make it appear as things are running faster?

I think it MAY be more that, but hey, the new rom has brilliant A2DP, AVRCP, and Push Email!
My Universal is plenty fast enough as is. None of the new ROM's bells and whistles are really that important to me, so I'm just going to keep it as is.
I think we've gotten a little off track and hijacked the "SD maximum" thread!

This was an April Fool's joke....
Sandisk, as good as their cards may be, are usually one of the last to release big cards.
I've not heard rumours of 4gb miniSDs let alone the 8gb.
Does anyone know? I don't want to order a card just for it not to work. I have ROM version 2.14.671.3 with alltel.
i ordered an 8Gb 2 weeks ago, i should be getting in tomorrow or the next day.

You need to patch it. Read this post.

i'm fairly sure that I read that anything above 2.14 would work. I could be wrong tho, just checking.
thanks for the link though.

I got it on Ebay. Just make sure it is SanDisk, and is Micro SDHC. I got mine for about 65 bucks, delivered. I needed to upgrade since TomTom6 uses pretty much my whole 2Gig card.

Cannot see 2gb microsd after installing HCSD .cab
Is this a function of the cab that it will only be compatible with the HCSD after install? I put this cab on the phone and after reboot it wouldn't see anything but the 8GB. Does 2.2. have the ability to see 2GB and 8GB? Workarounds?

Well, call clarity can really have to do more with the radio version you are running, but generally speaking, call clarity is great. The internal and external speaker work fine, so playing video's and music are great. The only crappy part is the processsor speed is a little on the sluggish side, but there is a program called battery status which lets you overclock which helps out some. Personally, I would love to have the HTC diamond, but I don't have 700 bucks for it! There are a lot of custom roms in this forum that help with the speed and stability. Hope this helps.

I thought the diamond had an micro sd card slot, but I might be wrong. Either way, it's too expensive right now. I love my wing, especially with all the roms we have to pick from, and all the customizations for it. I would def recommend it though!

Unfortunately, it does not have a MicroSD slot...
For most things, 200MHz is fine, although BatteryStatus does make a difference in some things.

Thanks!
take a coin,
flip it
heads it will work, tails it wont
joking aside, there is no way of knowing if its going to work other than trying it or getting someone else to try it, by "it" i mean that exact card not just a card with the same name.
It didn't work for me! I returned it.
