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.
Decided to get a new and bigger memory card at once so i dont have to think about if i have enough space all the time.
But what should i go for? was thinking about a class 6 card or are a class 4 card enough? think 8Gb should be enough for me. feel free to come whit advices.
Definitely Class 6
SanDisk Ultra II Micro SD is what I would recommend!

I just bought and received this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=120437329412
8GB Maxell Class 6 for £14 (normally a lot more) - and maxell have been around since the dawn of time as far as storage goes.
thanks for the answer, and yes that ebay deal was a nice one. but can the phone use a class 6 card to all its power?
Firstly, Woops sorry - didn't realise that auction had already ended. There are others on ebay, similarly priced but mostly brands I've never heard of
As for the magic using class 6 to its full... that I can't answer. Reading around, people recommend going for a class 6 and there's no harm in it.
What would annoy you more though, buying a class 4 - only to find out the magic can use a class 6 to its full and you could have got one for just £5 more. Or buying a class 6 first time round, and the magic not quite using it at full speed - thus not stressing it, and potentially even lengthening its life.
Know which one I'd prefer
Where to buy
Hello,
Does anyone know where I can purchase an Unlocked Htc Magic that will work on U.S. 3g network and not just GSM?
Thanks.

Anyone have any experience whit http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8GB-CLASS-6-MICRO-SD-SDHC-MEMORY-CARD-FOR-NOKIA-E90-N95_W0QQitemZ230350051969QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_AudioTVElectronics_PDAsAccessories_MemoryCards?hash=item35a1eeda81&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C240%3A1308%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
I bought a Transcend 4GB Class 6 which failed after a week. Sure it was a probably a one off though.
if you are in the US or kind find wher you are from look at this card. Is a great and fast card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820183244
I'm using a class 2 16Gb Sandisk card that I was using in another phone. Works perfectly well.
http://cgi.ebay.com/16GB-New-Micro-...aphy_MemoryCardReaders_RL?hash=item2a037ccc95
Anybody?
I have read the description, and it says "Trans Flash" with "TF" sigle, What is it?
Is it the standard SDHC? Will it work well on my fuze? (I know that it is not a fast speed, maybe class 1, but I want to know about this transflash)
What is this transflash? is every SDHC transflash? if not, wich diference betwin them?
I am looking for buying a good speed also, Does anybody know this one below?
http://cgi.ebay.com/6t6z-TOPRAM-16G...C_Drives_Storage_Internal?hash=item518e6accd3
This is class 6, but in the annoucement says Trans Flash too, will it work on my fuze?
I wanna know if both these will work on fuze, because I am afraid of buying and loosing the item, please help me!
Kingston 16 GB class 2 works on my touch Pro like a charm ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroSD
Appearently TF is the original MicroSD name.
Not sure you'd need a Class 6..., but it looks like it should work to me.
Be very carefull with cheap MicroSD etc Stuff from Ebay...
Especially from China!
This Ebayer is accused to manipulate the cards memory.
Because I fell for that "sosflash" memory hack stuff myself, I warn you.
Youll get a 2 or maybe 4 (if lucky) Gb MicroSD hacked to show 16Gb.
I brought a SanDisk card from Amazon a few months ago for £40

Don't buy memory cards from ebay...unless its a greally good seller. And you can tell a card is fake with the crappy writing on it. Cant find one for microSD but heres one for MSProDuo: http://www.gogetbuy.com/images/article/Fake_2gb_sony.jpg. You could clearly see by how the letters are printed.
I have bougth one of this on ebay, I hope it works as 16gb SD card, I will test it before feding back the user, when I was reading his feedbacks, I noted every of them and I saw that it was in the most positive, but if it dont work as 16gb I will f**** his feedbacks, explaining his frauds.
Hope everything works good, I dont want problems
hehe
Thank you all.

Just read there.. I fell for it too <.<
Bought a "cheap" 16 Gb MicroSD from Ebay. Afterwards I tried to get some movies and music on it. It simply gives you an error if it gets over 2Gb content!
No wonder, 16 Gb MicroSD arent cheap or common in china! Its the other way around!
So I spend around 20US on a fake 16Gb card.
That sucked. This fraud is often used for cheap MP3 player too.
I have PQI 16GB class 2 its working wery good
I think I just fell for the exact same thing. It hasn't even gotten here yet.
Is there anything I can do? I'd like to get my money back for pride's sake, but I also want to do whatever I can to get back at the seller.
I am looking to buy a 8gb microsd but first I wanted to know exactly how much available storage i will have when all is said and done (when they add all the extra stuff that takes away from your store)
if anyone has one or just knows, it would be a great help, thanks

About 15 GB free in total. But you should go for a 16GB card, and you'll end up with 22.5 GB free. And the difference in price is very small. Just make sure it's either a class 2 or a class 4 card, have a look in the dedicated thread here.
I had about 15gb before adding apps etc...
EnderPsp is right. Buy a 16GB card. You wont get to change cards later(without hard resetting) if you run out of space. I am using a Samsung Class 6 SDHC.
Remember, it should be SDHC only.
My first post!!
Just got my Focus and want to add a micro SD card. The very first post shows the good and the bad but I noticed that the list hasn't been updated for over a year. Are there any reliable 32gb cards that have a track record of working after a soft reset?
Sorry I don't have time to read thru the 120+ post in this thread to glean an answer.
Ive been searching the web for awhile and nowhere do i see if its a class 6, class 8, or whatever it is. Can someone please send me to a site that sells a working sd card and save me alot of hassle. size dosen't matter much i guess, but i only wanna spend 25-30 max. please help me out. thanks

I recommend Amazon. And since you haven't specified any other details, like your location, the currency or the size of the card, I'm gonna assume US, USD, 32 GB.
Transcend 32 GB Class 4 (TS32GUSDHC4E) is a good pick for $24. For more choices, consult the working cards list on the wiki. Hint (if you go with Amazon): you need to buy something else for 1.01$ to avail of free shipping (to total $25 or more).
Cheers
Also

I'd also recommend consulting this forum page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834144
(it's the page for [REF] Working SD Cards List)
Pick a lower class - random access is apparently faster, and at Class 4, you wouldn't have any problems with your apps, none that I know of. The Sandisk 16g Class 4 that I picked had a picture of a cellphone on the packaging. But read the thread about working cards first
