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?

I think you are mistaken.
Follow this link...
wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raph_Specs

the fuze will handle up to a 32gb sd card... here is all the info for the fuze, and any other AT&T device available at this time....

i do tech support calls for AT&T mobility... i get alot of questions about these devices...

There is no 32GB card at the moment. I assumed you ask what can you get right now.

Yes...there is

That's great and all, but I hope you noticed that card won't fit in a Raphael.

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.

I run Shehrams Rom 1.00 WWE. It's the 2.13 ROM with the 2.10 touch drivers so it's not laggy. Runs smooth and awesome... Might want to bight the bullet and get you a good micro SD card too because a lot of the lagginess with the HD2 is that class 2 card that comes with the phone. I got a class 4 and it works great, but only because I went to a bunch of stores and couldn't find a 16 class 6. Get you a 16 class 6 or higher.

I think the 10's are coming from a company that marks them as class 10's but there is no such thing. Just another way to sucker people into buying them.

$138 was msrp when that article was posted. It's $95 at Newegg right now with free shipping, and cheaper on Amazon, but with mixed reviews. I'll stick with the $60 class 6 that I have.

Whats the difference between them?

Between the class of cards?
The write speed. As the classes get higher the computer can write data on the cards faster (faster file transfers). No more waiting forever to copy a movie or music onto the card.

What MicroSD are you using with android ?

i know theres a microSD recommendation thread. this is more of a survay.
What MicroSD card are you using with Android
Brand :
Size :
Class :
Stable (yes/no) :
in my case
Apacer
8GB
Class 4
NOT stable.

Kingston 8gb class 4
Pretty stable tho, altho when im walking outside I cant do nothing with my screen:/ but I think its not the SDcard problem

Brand: Transcend
Size: 8GB
Class: 6
Stable: Yes
Compared to the included 16GB Class 2 card, read rates went from 11MB/s to 19.6MB/s. Write rates went from about 7-10MB/s to over 16MB/s. Overall boot speed and performance is quicker and more snappy.

Brand : Sandisk
Size : 32GB
Class : 2
Stable (yes/no) : yes, very stable to date
Format: Quick format FAT32 / 32kb cluster size / formatted with SD Formatter v.3
Best to all,
R

Brand: Dane-Elec
Size: 16gb
Class: 2
Stable: yes
Reason for purchase: It was £19 on Amazon.
Satisfied? Yes: No problems in Windows Mobile. I'd worry I'd notice speed problems when I switched to Android, but absolutely none at all in a month of heavy use. Watching Divx films on Android presents no problems, which is probably the heaviest use I can think of.
If it's slow anywhere, it's on direct transfer of files from PC to Card in a Card Reader, but still not noticably in Real World Usage.

I have two that I switch between
Brand: Samsung
Size: 2gb
Class: 6
Stable: Yes
Brand: Transcend
Size: 8Gb
Class: 6
Stable: yes
I use my 8Gb less than my 2Gb for some reason, it has my preferred build on it (ShubCraft) but it is in no way any less stable or reliable that my 2Gb

how you can measure the writing speed, my reading speed when mounting is like 5MB/S max
Transcend

so far so good

I've been fairly lucky to be honest, reading about the problems other people have. I think a lot of problems come from using the movie player that comes in built into Android. I use Vplayer and Rock player.

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.

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..

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

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.

MicroSD 64Gbyte

Since a lot of people think the DHD is going to get old and move to phones like the HOX, I just want to tell you that the new microSD cards with a capacity of 64Gbyte work on this great device! The HOX doesn't even have half of this capacity.
And...ICS is coming too! We still have some great devs here.
There is no need to buy a new phone.
If I haven't already bought the HOX, I would stay with my beloved DHD

IT DEFINITELY WORKS with 64gb.
Those saying it doesn't work didn't try it.
I'm using it right now ))

Does it have to be a specific 64 gb sd card or any will do?

I think any card is good...as far as is not a cheap clone and is an SDXC it will work (once formatted)

I too am happy to stick with my Desire HD. :good:

...or we could get another next gen phone THAT ALSO SUPPORTS MicroSD... ie SGS3... ^_~ ...not got one btw... but just stating an obvious logical answer besides sticking with our faithful DHDs
imho its a bad move for HTC to remove SDcard support... capacity for external storage for those type of media will only get bigger...
...opportunity to have 64GB (or more) on your smartphone just can't be easily dismissed. Especially if you carry around a ton of multimedia files as well as a chunk of your work and have a ton of pictures and a good part of your music collection! >_< lol!
ie my 1 and a half hour work commutes would be almost unbearable without my DHD with its 32GB card chock full of goodies to keep me from going insane in crappy uk public transport... @[email protected]

Yeah.
Personally, as far as function is concerned, there is little logical use in changing phones for me. I do in fact have a few more months before my contract expires and I'd like to eventually choose a very new phone that I can also support on my site without being a few months behind everyone else.
Having said that, unless another model has superior battery power consumption/time then I don't have a need for a different device. Like you, I commute throughout the day and therefore need the power to last me through the day, so I tend to limit YouTube, GPS or other things which happily eat away at the battery.
The idea of having loads stored on my device on a large SD Card is fine, but based on the above, I wouldn't use much of it.
The idea of losing the phone with so many eggs in one basket is not very appealing.
The idea of a bigger screen though like the Galaxy Note (which my barber has and showed me) is nice. I'd also consider future devices with removable rear covers, so that it's easy for companies like Mugen to make extended batteries for them. From experience that's real peace of mind.
The Microsoft Surface Tablet looks like a nice device which I could use for work maybe. If that became a primary toy, then maybe a phone would take a less important back seat for a while.

Like you, I commute throughout the day and therefore need the power to last me through the day, so I tend to limit YouTube, GPS or other things which happily eat away at the battery.

DHD + latest Lord's ICS build (8.2 as I type this) with radio 26.13.04.19 has a great battery life even with all the hammering it takes from using DicePlayer, PowerAmp, exchange Email, Dolphin, XDA Premium and even games like temple run & zenonia 4...
With the above usage... I get the trip to work, actual work usage (i have my desk phone on divert to my mobile) and the trip home... all in one nights charge... so I only need to put it on charge before I go to bed.
Hell, I've even forgot to charge it overnight and I was still able to crawl through most of the day... with charging it late afternoon, ready for the 2nd half of the movie I was watching on my trip to work! >_< hahaha!

The idea of having loads stored on my device on a large SD Card is fine, but based on the above, I wouldn't use much of it.
The idea of losing the phone with so many eggs in one basket is not very appealing.

I hear you there dude... I had my 1st DHD nicked through a burglary... =(
However, all I ever lost was my 1st 32GB class10 MicroSD as well as my nandroids...
All my files, movies, music and photos exists on multiple devices... so anything that was on my DHD is a copy from my other machines...
...pity I didn't do the same with my Nandroid... I keep them locally for the purpose of error recovery... would've kept copies of it off the device had I wanted to be safeguarded from potential theft... =_=
As it's looking now.. unless HTC starts building new units with SD support, I'll not be jumping on their new range quite just yet...
If November 2012 hits and they've not released a device that fits the bill for me... its looking a lot like I'll be going for SGS3... =_=
