4GB HC SD works on Wing!

I purchased a Sandisk (genuine?) 4GB HC microSD card off of eBay for $60 and so far it works great.
I've heard that the official word from T-Mobile is that it isn't compatible but I thought I would give it a try anyways and viola...
I'm hopeful that the 8GB one will work too.

nice good to know, well i dont think t-mobile ever gave an official word bout it :O

found the answer...

I was looking at the stats of the Wing from the T-Mobile manual, and it states it supports SD 2.0, which means SDHC (up to 32 GB capacity.)
I'm willing to bet that the 8GB one will work without issue.

anyone else got it working? I bought a sandisk 4gb sdhc card and it doesn't work.

Found out my card was bad, waiting for the replacement

It's 100% compatible...
And this is the compatibility list:
http://www.sandisk.com/Compatibility/DeviceList.aspx?DeviceTypeID=1007&ManufacturerID=1339

That is good as hell to know Thanks

Does anyone know if this will work? Couldn't find any info on Kingston.

8gb Micro SDHC
I can confirm that the 8gb Micro SDHC (class 2) works on the Herald/T-Mobile Wing. I just purchased it, and have been using it for almost a week now, with no problems. Both Windows and Mac recognize it as 8gb (less when formatted) while it is in the phone, and have no problems reading or writing to it. I hope this helps if anyone was wondering.

8gb hdsc
hey everyone this is my first post but I would like to let everyone know that I bought a 8gb sdhc card a while back off amazon for 29.99 and it works in the wing. ive been using it for a little while now so.

What memorycard is to prefer?

Hi all!
What memorycard is to prefer?
I know it is microSD, but there's so many different microSD's out there so how will I know which one to choose? (classes, speed a.s.o.)
If we don't care about memory size (4-8-16GB) what is the very best to use?
Best memory?
Best memory/$?
What memory NOT to use?

I picked up an A-DATA 8gb Class 6 microsd card (US$35) to use once I get the Touch Pro. I haven't used it yet, but I also have the 4gb version (US$15) which works great.

DO NOT BUY.
That's SDHC, not MicroSDHC...
32 gig Micros aren't available yet.

This is a totally personal opinion. You will find that among us professional geeks, we have brand preference.
When It comes to Solid State Media, I always pay a little more the get a SanDisk item from a reputable dealer.
Every Card CF or SD or my MicroSD, has been SanDisk Manufactured and I've never been disappointed.

OK guys, thx for your input!
@JimmyMcGee: Yeah, I too has allways payed a little extra when choosing between some things, in most cases it's clearly that you get what you payed for, I mean, even if you look beyond brand names a.s.o. there often is a difference between the cheap and the more expensive ones.
But my reson for this Q was foremost to clarify the speed and class issue, is someone better then the other, so except brand, what more do I need to consider?

I bought a Scandisk 8gb. Play.com have them for £16.99 with free delivery.
I found this after i ordered the same from mobymemory which was more expensive.

I am also looking for a microSD card for my future friend Raphael.
I want the fastest 8 GB MicroSD card available that can be used in Raphael. €10 more or less, I dont care but I dont want to pay for overkilling the spec.
What MicroSD do you recommend, if not this one that I have found:
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB microSDHC
http://www.i4u.com/full-review-447.html
Would it work fine in a Raphael?
Have anyone used it in an other HTC?

Simple:
Dont buy a memory that don't have "C" logo with class number in it.
If it doesn' have it, there's probably nothing to be proud of.
Currently you can get a decent-prized "class 6" memory with 4 GB or 8 GB capacity.
Class 6 is faster than Class 2 and Class 4 of course.
Cheers,

bought a sandisk 8gb microsd sdhc card .. 7700 mb free
they sell it at mediamarkt for 40€
@corsa2: this is probably the same card it is pretty fast and works fine as these are designed for mobile phones

Just buy a SanDisk. Work out how much memory you are likely to need - get a card with more than you require and MAKE SURE ITS A SANDISK! this will avoid fighting for refunds, hours trying to reformat, burnt dinners cause you are engrossed in the problem, angry women who just don’t understand why you don’t pay them any attention anymore, females who fight back when you loose you temper cause your new "good value" f'n card has failed and you refuse to accept the fact - BUY A SANDISK... I don’t work for SanDisk but they do work for me and will probably work for you…
Just bought a Touch Pro... will update my sig when I've decided which ROM to install...
Rgs,

SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB is superb!
Bought this one for my MDA Vario IV (T-Mobile branded HTC Touch Pro) for 40 euro at the Phone House (Netherlands). This class 6 micro SDHC was 10 euro more expensive than a class 4 device, but worth every cent!!
I've used several brands micro SDHC cards, but i'll stick to SanDisk now, maybe more expensive but reliable: no issues at all for about 3 years of use in my PPC's.

I don't have a Touch Pro yet (that will change in around 3-4 days though), but I do have a Sandisk 8 Gb class 4 card, which is very good but unfortunately isn't sold anymore, now there's only class 2 and 6 (which is extremely expensive).
I tested it with H2testw and got the following results:
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 11.4 MByte/s
Reading speed: 16.8 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
I was wondering if anyone with a class 6 card could do the same test?

Hello there, just bought a PNY Micro SDHC Premium 8 Go ... but it's not recognize by the phone ... do you think that it can be solve by a Rom update ?

There are a number of dependable cards out there. Amazon has user feedback on each of their cards which can be useful to help you decide which card is best for you. Which ever card you chose, make sure you format it before you use it. Put the card into a card reader and format it FAT32 on your computer at least once. The ROM should not be a factor in you device reading your card, FORMAT the card...David.

Ok thx for the information
Formating was the first thing I did after trying it in the phone ... but didn't help
I bought the PNY because It's suppose to be a good brand, and never thought it would not work with my phone
Guess I gona have to buy an other one
Thx

I bought a 16gb Toshiba MicroSDHC card yesterday for $50. So far so good--I put it in and it has been working flawlessly. Hope I'm not jinxing myself! lol

IMHO I don't think it really matters but I have always used Sandisk and have been quite happy.....

i use a-data since i find it to be the cheapest. i've used 4 and still use them. no data loss or failure yet. oh and i just ordered another just for my fuze. 8gb ($18 shipped)

Same here, waiting for them to hit the US....

Just curious, what are you going to do with 16 GB card?

myself, I would do twice what I already do.

will these work on computers or our kaisers?

thank you for the response cbass, the reason I ask is because I bought an 8 gb hc card for my computer and it would not recognize it, do you think that I need an external card reader? thanks

Does anyone try a 8 GB microSD on Kaiser? Is it really working? What ROM do you use for this?

I'm using a 6GB microsd card but I've seen plenty of users with an 8GB microsd card on this forum.
It doesn't really matter what ROM you're using, the Kaiser supports microsd HC (high capacity) cards, which allows the usage of cards beyond 2GB (-> 4, 6, 8 and the newest 16 GB).

I've been using a SanDisk 8GB on my Kaiser for almost a year now with no issues. I'm using the stock WWE ROM the device shipped with.

What class are these sandisk cards?
Personally I want to hold out for C6 or C8 cards before upgrading my 6GB C4

AFAIK they're C4 cards. I'm going to wait for C6 or 8 to come out too, the C4s do run a little slow.
I'm using my 8GB card, which I also used in my XDA Orbit (with cooked SDHC drivers), since I've had it. No issues at all.
I don't think I really need 16GB right now, I've still got 2.5GB free on my current 8GB card, but my music collection is expanding, and I think Tomtom Navigator 7's map files are larger too... Maybe soon.
Chris

is patriot a relaiable brand for the micro sd?

is it just me or the picture on the website http://www.mobymemory.com/products/SanDisk/SanDisk-16GB-microSDHC-Memory-Card.asp
looks like its been photoshopped

It definitely looks photoshopped. The number 6 in the 16 is not the same color or size as the number 1 nor is it the same font as the rest of the words. You can also clearly see the square around the 6 showing that the 6 was cut from another image.

Maximum GB that works smoothly in Elf..

Hey guys, I tried to search about this topic in the forum but I don'y anything about it or was it just already in pit of the forum?
Anyways, I would like to ask the maximum capacity of memory card for Elf(in)? I am planning to buy a micro-sd and I just want to buy the best available.
Does it support SDHC memory cards? And also, does using a large GB of memory presents a risk on my device to be brick when time goes on?
Thanks for the help guys!

I have 4gb micro sdhc and it works fine. I have heard that 8GB won't function properly after a while. But I am not a genius

SanDisk 8GB
I've been working with a SanDisk 8GB MicroSD HC for about 4 months now, and still have had no issues...
And that goes without saying that I think It's a fake SanDisk, because of the packaging.

Have an 8GB SanDisk on my Elfin. Works great.

@vette95: Good to hear that! Thanks for responding..
@htedum: how long have you bean using your 8gb micro-sd? Haven't experienced any problem yet? Any slow down or hangs?

i've been using 8gb in my elf for over a year and did not ever have any issues or hangs so i would recommend it.
just my 2 cents

Wow! Thanks bro for the feedback! Will buy 8gb now.. hehe..

Been using it for two weeks now; no problems at all. I've overclocked to 273 using HomeScreen, maybe that helps. Loaded up 6G worth of music and 1G worth of movies. Installed PocketPlayer (and TCPMP for movies), and I have a slick, portable media player. Battery life isn't bad at all, but I've ordered a 2500mAh replacement, waiting for that to come in.
A tip - be sure to pick up an original, name-brand card, even if you have to pay more. A lot of fakes going around, they may slow down your phone.
@vette95: No problems with your fake?

I've been searching google how to detect fake micro-sd but unfortunately the only info I got was to make sure the serial of the memory is readable and also try to call on the manufacturer and confirm the serial. Of course, I cannot do that when I am in the store, to check each items and call them. LOL. So do you know other ways how to know it if it is genuine?

The best bet would be to avoid ebay and the like; that's where most of them are floating around. Since you're buying retail, you should be pretty safe, since you can go right back to the store if you discover that it's fake.
From what I've read, there's also the issue of classes; best pick up class 6 or at least class 4. Class 2 will be slow.

Also check the packaging. Check if the fonts are printed alright and not fading or anything.

I have already bought a 4gb sdhc class 6 kingston micro-sd. There is no 8gb available in store so I decided to just go with 4gb and just upgrade when I need it. It was fast and I guest it is not fake(though I'm not sure). Thanks for the advice guys. I hope this will also be helpful for people who are planning to upgrade memory.
As far as I know, Transcend and Sandisk are the brands that are flooding in the market which are fake so I really looked for other brand. Fortunately I found one and it is made in Japan(the fakes are made in China written at the back of this brands) so I'm little confident with the memory I bought. hehe..

ive been using an 8gb card too for awhile now on my elfin. just got my 16gb card last month and havent had a problem yet. everything runs very smoothly.

i have 8GB V-gen and running well until now...

8gb
i´ve used a 8gb sdhc since a month without problems...it runs smoothly...

I bought a 16 gb sandisk sdhc. It didn't even register regardless of what drivers I installed on my phone.

Sandisk HC 16 gig Micro SD:

Recently bought one off of eBay for $40 (+ $9 3-day USPS shipping) and it works as good as gold in my HTC Touch Pro. It was listed as "bulk" and did not come in the official Sandisk blister pack; therefore, this could possibly be gray-market hardware, but it works as listed none the less.
Perfect amount of space for my GPS software and my music/talk-radio.
I have had it for about 5 days now and have had zero compatibility or usage issues.
Cheers!

Haha, he said possibly... I'm pretty sure that MicroSD card you just bought was not manufactured by Sandisk. Good to hear that it's working okay though.

Ya, well I bought a 16GB MicroSD card and it has been working FLAWLESSLY...until tonight. I was re-installing a ROM and re-installing TT7...when the install hung...told me it couldn't install...then the card just died. Hopefully SanDisk will RMA it...

Well, most suggest that you remove the SD card prior to installation of a new ROM. I am using my card with Elite RC2 Rom, but have not tried leaving it in while installing a new ROM.
At this point, I have purchased 3 Sandisk Micro SD cards (2 4 gig HC's, and 1 8 gig HC) over the past 1.5-2 years off of eBay and haven't had a single one of them fail... none of them came in Sandisk blister packs.
Time will tell...

Im sure you could find one cheaper, but I am willing to bet is bootleg. Anyway the 55.00 ballpark is not that bad. Or you can wait till the 32gb releases. That will drop the price of the 16 big time.

So is the SanDisk 16GB Class 2 card good? Mainly the class 2 part. Will it be much slower than my current class 4 8GB card?

I just got my Sandisk 16gb card. It was Sandisk branded in a Sandisk blister pack. It works, but so far I'm having intermittent problems with my MP3 files pausing and starting again. Sometimes worse than others. It happens with Kinoma, Coreplayer, Windows Media Player and the Sprint Music player. Are there any ways of minimizing this?

It will not be much slower (could even be faster). Check this thread, where someone posted his c4 8GB card benchmark, which was lower than my numbers posted at the end.

Try reformatting, and apply this patch as well. I got a bulk package from ebay, and I haven't had a single problem so far (more than 2 weeks).

Thanks so much! It seems to be performing much better. I will have to test it more over the next few days........

I just ordered and received this one:
