8GB card in Prophet?

Anybody tried the new 8GB SD card in Prophet? I am tempted of buying one, but there is no way for me to test it beforehand.

It's not possible to use a 8GB SD becuase it use the HC (hight capacity) standard. The prophet card reader support only "normal" sd cards and not HC ones.

Not really. For example Samsung 8 GB SD claims to be both SD 1.1 and SD 2.0 compatible.

Never find an information like this...i've always read that 8 Gb sd and above is compliant only with Sd2.0 (SDHC).

This is why I am asking if anybody have actually used 8GB card in prophet, and not theories on why it shouldn't work. Treo users apparently were able to use SDHC cards just by updating driver.

For what it's worth, I've read that some HC cards will work in older SD readers, but that no more than 4GB will be accessible. I've also read that a driver update might be able to solve the problem.
I'm sure many will be ready to try it when a solution surfaces. Do any of the HTC units read the HC cards?

FYI, I was in contact with the Microsoft WM dev group that wrote the SD card code. They had yet to start writing code to support SDHC... I believe that was back in June/July.
My guess is that they might get it in to support WM6 devices. But for us, I think it's a lost cause. Oh well, save your money and wait for the dust to settle.
SDHC is such a fubar'ed standard anyways. 32 GB max??? We'll hit that in 3 years. Then another new standard? Gawd, what a waste.

[Q] Fastest SD for Android on HD2

Hi guys i have been using
FroyoStone Sense - V2 for couple of days now and with basic winmo install, so far I love it.
Although it seems to slow down when more stuff is opened also when using Astro for file explorer.
Since this android build is all running from the SD card are there better cards like faster ones? I'm using the original 16g that came with my T-mobile phone. Is that the fastest i can have for that phone?

what's your sd card class ?

Class 2 i think

im usung a 4gb class 6 and its screaming compared to my friends using the included (class 2) 16gb cards.
so yes the speed of the sd card helps, they go all the way up to class 10

ok thx looks like im getting new sd

Class 6 seems to be the most popular. I went with this one.

wait till the nand rom comes..it will be there soon
DN41

im not sure i want an incomplete rom in the nand.

I'm using a 16gb Kingston C10, and yes it's really fast, compared to my old
16gb sandisk C2.

Ok but now I need to transfer my android and all the stuff to the new sd
should I just copy over all the folders and thats all?
I want to keep all my settings cotacts, apps and more!

Best SD Card?

I recently bought a 16GB Patriot MicroSD card, class 10. I find that after 24 hours of use, things start to fall apart (I've tried several different SD builds). I also have Sandisk 16GB Class 2 card that runs my daily Android software; never had a problem with it in 2 months. I follow the same procedure when attaching the card via a reader and removing it from my computer. I also use the same procedure when attaching the phone to my PC. I have concluded that the new Class 10 card is failing. My questions are:
1. Is anyone using a Patriot 16GB Class 10 card with success?
2. Can you give me an opinion of the best 16GB card when using Android on the HD2?
3. Could the Patriot card be too fast for the HD2?
4. Is there a maximum class rating I should not go over?
Thanks in advance.

The best SD Card for me is ''Kingston 16gb Class4'', never have had a problem.

Same is true with my very old Adata 16gb Class 2. But, I was hoping to get a bit more speed.

I think class 10 is too fast (and expensive XD ) for the HD2,
I got Kingston 16GB Class 4 and it works perfectly.

Hey all. I've got a 16gb Patriot class 10 installed, been using 1week now with no issues, Cotulla's Nand stock desire rom. Seem a little faster than the stock provided card, not sure if was worth the $ for the slight boost though.
Sent from my Nand~Droided HTC HD2
3/19/2011 - my 16gb patriot still no issues. Mine has been formatted multiple times and been re-partitioned with ext3 and even split for dual boot wp7 and hyperdroid gbx v7 and now v9 and have noted no sdcard related problems. Have downloaded and deleted multiple apps, and currently have 6gb of full DVDs on it. Have noted with all SD cards, you gotta pay attention when you're instructed to mount/dismount card via phone or when in mass storage mode connected to PC via USB, or when in PC using card reader or data can get corrupted. Hope this helps.

Hmmm, I absolutely can't seem to keep it from crashing. Right now I'm experimenting with another class 2 card to see if I can manage to destroy the installation again. Glad it's working for you. Might the difference be that I'm running an SD version from the card using the current stock HTC ROM?

SD card

Hi guys, getting a new SD card to load in Andriod or maybe Windows. Which class of SD card should I get?

Doesn't matter. Just make sure it is a reliable sd card. e.g. sandisk or kingston

Yes, class doesn't matter, what matters is the Card's access time, that's the time the card takes to get to the file and open it. obviously the lower the better. Sandisk and kingston usually have a short access time. The next thing to look for is power consumption. there are a few threads on XDA that have SD benchmarks, you might want to search for those
again, Class doesn't matter, android loads the same whether your card is C2 or C10 as long as they're the same size and same brand, roughly.

I bought a fake class 8 card from ebay
Should have looked at the posts.

I use Kinstom 32GB class10 early. But when I take photo, some photo maybe have error.
After that I check for internet about it. Someone said that maybe Kinstom's problem. It's not stable.
Now I use the Sandisk 32GB class4.
Maybe defy not support class10.
or that's Kinstom's problem. I don't know.

I bought a Team 16Gb Class 10 micro SD and it freeze my Defy, but I read that all Smartphone have trouble with class 10 cards (maemo and WP7 too).
It's something related to voltage (if you use setsvel to undervolt) and with partition (you need format the card with 32k or 64k)
I think Class 4-6 will be enough, until the Android Kernel will support class10.

Did you mean SD Class?
Just look at the card, it has either a 2 or a 4 or a 6 in a circle stamped on it. Thats the class. The class = the number of MB/S it can transfer.

No. Class=speed only. He said the partition have 32K 64K.....I think that is not Class. Because the class can't change when you format the sd card.

Using a class 4 32 GB Kingston since a few days, working nicely. Got 5.5 MB/s write, 12 MB/s read. Thanks for the info, I was going to buy a more expensive (and I though, more future proof and safer) class 10 one, before I read about the compatibility problems with class 10 here.

using class 6 non brand. Works perfectly with 2.3.4 CM7

If you want to find out what partition your card is just plug it into your computer then mount as SD storage. Right click on the card from "computer" and select format. The default settings your card is set at will be shown. You can change it to other sizes, and formats (like FAT, NTFS, but FAT32 should be default and used for phones). I recently formatted my Samsung 8GB class 6 at 4069, and no issues so far. Don't worry it won't format unless you select to format, so you can do this just to check.

Hi there, because of this thread i bought a class 6 16GB Trancend SD card. Formatted it with 64kb clusters now have 11,2 Write and 21,9 Read speed (in SD tools).
Thx you all for the advice not to buy a class 10!
