I ordered a 32Gb SD Card for my HD2. But, I finally got a quality Android build going on my little 2 gigger. Everything works 99.9%. . . I did not think it was possible but after 2 days of tweaking and scowering threads I have one(I can share it if you like).
If I copy all files from my 2Gb card I can drop then straight on the 32Gb card after formatting.
Is there any issues with this at all?
I really hope not, since I have been working on this for pretty much two days straight.
You should be able to copy it over with out any issues. Just be sure to format your new card beforehand

I just got a class 4 Kingston 32gb microsd... I think that's the highest class 32gb available so far that's legitimate.
Anything that can read a 16gb card will be able to read a 32gb card... they're all sdhc. I don't think cards bigger than 32gb will be able to be made, though.

If you think logically, yeah ofc 32gb shouldnt be a problem O.O
well there is 64gb on his way to micro SD HC (2gb+ = HC -->High Capacity)
they're also making 2TB micro XC ( eXtended Capacity),, O.O
2TB!!! xD
my pc got 2TB, imagine 2tb in that micro sd,, WTF O.O!!!!
A lot of pron on the 4,3 inch big ass htc screen!! LMAO

Are they making a 64gb sdhc? I thought I read somewhere that 32gb was the limit for sdhc. I know sdxc will be able to hold huge amounts, but unfortunately our hd2s can't use sdxc. That would be great if 64gb sdhc is made, because eventually a micro-sdhc version will be made. 64gb storage for my hd2 would be awesome... I could keep my entire music collection in that, along with my ebook and comic book collection!

Dude as far as I know Kingston do not make a 32GB sd card yet so you have likely bought one of those cheap fake ones of somewhere like ebay from a Chinese seller that is actually only 4/8/16GB and will just corrupt most of data as soon as you get to the "real" size limit.
A lot of people have been fooled by these fake cheap cards (myself included in past)
Kingston does make a 32GB microSDHC card.

I wouldn't buy a memory card from eBay... especially not for a 32gb card. I bought it from newegg. And you should maybe do a quick Google search before claiming to know something, because Kingston made announcements about these class 4 32gb cards a couple months ago.

To expand on this (since I am still new to HD2 and Android), if I wanted to change SD Cards, or try out a new ROM, all I have to do is make sure the Android folder is copied over?
Example 1: New SD Card - Format new card, copy all files, will boot into current Android ROM.
Example 2: Same SD Card, want to try a new Android build, backup the Android folder, replace with new ROM and boot up, if I don't like it, delete new Android folder and replace with backed up one and will boot back into old Android build without issues?
Thanks,
Yes!
And same for kernel ( zImage if is compress, and ussualy it is ) inside Android folder

I did learn one thing the hard way. Doing this while booted into Android is not really a safe way to do it. When I backed up my Android folder and put a new one on, it would not boot back into Android (said no Android Build was found). Looked at my SD card on the device and in a PC and the space was used up (for both builds) but could not find them.
I ended up backing up my SD Card contents I COULDD see (pics and whatnot) and formatting the card.
I copied it on the SD Card via Adapter in PC and everything is fine now.
I would suggest (for safety), that you do it this way or from WMo.
Thanks,
Well, this is wonderfull. First SD card I ordered was from eGay. 13 Bucks for a 32Gb. Right after I bought it, the seller cancelled their eGay account and dissapered.
I bought another card now a 16 Gigger for 26 Bucks.
Seems to be fake. I copy over the info and then I can not read anything. . . .
Crap, should have spent the extra 10 Bucks. Now, I have to get my money back from GayPal.
eGay really does suck now. . . . .

the original DFT release is fine if your SD card is compatible (SD compatibility is the same for all releases.)
everything else on here is based of DFT with a few exceptions, largely around unlocking the device for you.
xboxmod is pretty stable, but as mentioned above, if your SD card isnt compatable, then you will have issues with most ROMs. there is a thread on compatable SD cards, although there is no official WP7 compatable memory card

ignore anything in that thread about compatible cards, its all meaningless, get a class 2 or 4 card and keep your fingers crossed, as it stands, maunfactures do not produce cards for the public to a spec needed for WP7, its completely unknown.
you could have two identical cards with the same model number and one may not work, luck im affraid, is whats needed.

yes there is. Sandisk has official wp7 branded SD-cards, but they are expensive. Otherwise its all about luck. I'm on a sandisk class 2 16GB bought off ebay, and it works like a charm. Others might not be so lucky with the same type of card. So, if you really want to be sure it will work, get a wp7 branded card.

ah yes the cards that no one can buy, unless you happen to be in an AT&T store
correct me if im wrong but i couldnt find a store selling them to the public, there is lots of FUD on the net about them but the actual products dont appear to be anywhre, i did only spend 5 min looking so perhaps they are about.
The question is, will OEMS make a brand of cards that will only have a very very minimal uptake in sales, after all, most WP7 devices have or are supposed to have, non removable cards.
Not saying its not going to happen, because obviously they can produce these cards the question is how big a market will there be for them and is it worth them selling them as a branded model.... anyhowe if you have a link for some place selling them other than at&t drop us a line
Strangely enough, my 16gb SanDisk Class 2 was slow as hell in my HD2 with 6.5, but seems to sing with WP7...

apparently its because of random access speeds, a digital camera couldnt care less about random speeds, what it needs to sequential speeds, hence the class ratings they use, i dont know the details of it al but apparently one of the ways they can make it sequentially faster has an adverse effect on the random speed
theres several other factors involved as well, components used and how it was put together etc. thats partially why your safer with a class 2 or 4 card.

I'm really not certain about this, but their a limit on the size SD card our hd2's can support. (Either 16 or 32gb which is what I'm uncertain of) try formatting your new SD card into two 16 gb partitions and then see what happens.
Hopefully either that helps or someone with more knowledge than I will comment and give you a better answer

Well the limit is definitely not 16gb because I have one of those and it works fine in Android but it for some reason cannot boot SD Android. Also, if I'm not mistaken MarkAtHome (I've seen him in many of the NAND threads, especially NexusHD2) has a 64GB SDXC card as he was posting something about that a while ago. He'd have to confirm though.

Where did you get your memory card?? You son are a victim of false advertisement. I purposely purchased a "cheap" 16GB sd card from ebay and it wasnt even bigger than like 300MB. There are ways to fake the memory size, and thats why when you try to put the music on your card is says its not there because there truly isnt any physical memory available. And also why it gives those weird readouts. Sorry to bust the news :/

According to HTC's website, the HD2 can support up to a 32GB SDHC (class 10 i believe)

Yes. You set up two partitions 32 gb each.

There have been threads discussing how certain sd cards do not perform well in android devices, including the HD2. It has to do with some of the access times the cards are rated at.
I have tested a 32gb patriot class 10 card in the HD2 and samsung vibrant that made both phones freeze and run terribly slow until the card was removed.
Sandisk cards run flawlessly in the HD2 and I have only been using them for the past year, including a 32gb and a 64gb SDXC. The 64gb must be formatted as fat32 inside the phone before it can be used, but the full 64gb is available.

I agree with elesbb. Infact the same thing had happened to me about 4 years ago. What they do it put a memory hack in the SD card fooling it to think there is more memory. I would say if you bought it from ebay contact the seller first and
tell them you think it might be fake and you wish to get a real card asap. If they don't send you one or sound like they may be un-willing to then you should report them. Here's some information found on ebay's site about fake memory cards.
If you bought it from a different online seller you should still contact them about it and say you did some research and believe you recieved a counterfit item. In the link i shared above there are a few examples of how to spot fake cards including some pictures if you go through the links. I've read somewhere that if you have a sandisk and the class rating is in the corner then you more then likly have a counterfit one. Sandisk's class ratings should be centered in the middle of the SD card.
Okay, i've just sent email to him, hopefully he will just re-send me new, (working..?) or give money back!
I was wondering if it is possible to use a 64 GB microSD card with my MT4G. If so, what ROM do I need? I searched and the only thread I found was a thread from 2011 saying that the cap is 32 GB because that is the limit of microSDHC. I found a good deal on a 64 GB card and would like to get it if I can use it.
Yeah it will work, but you won't get the claimed speeds due to our old hardware.
Just format the card in the phone and you're good to go.
what is the speed I will get with the card? I'm looking at a class 6

Not sure. I'm doing research on this. I know the card will WORK on the mytouch 4G, but I don't see any mytouch 4G specific speed tests. I saw where a newer phone got better speed on sdxc class 6 than sdhc class 6, but again that's newer hardware.

What kind of speed tests are you guys looking for? I have a 64GB microSDXC card in my MT4G. I'd be willing to run a couple tests if you guys are looking for any specific information as long as you tell me what you want done.
Can we use a SD booster app to get the acclaimed speed with a 64GB SD card ? :what:

A lot of the performance gain seen with SDXC cards comes from the new file system included- exFAT. ExFAT is not supported on our device, at least not in any ROMs I've used since getting mine. I'm not sure if different ROMs can include the necessary changes to allow exFAT usage. If I had to speculate, I'd say it probably depends on firmware updates to the card reader in the phone that we likely won't ever see.
Instead, to achieve functionality, you must use your phone to format the microSD card before it can be used. As a result, we won't be able to see all the benefits the newer, higher capacity cards have to offer. An SD booster application may still be able to speed things up a little, just as it could with the older cards. I just wouldn't expect too much.

My microSDXC card is a Sandisk Class 10 200x 64GB SDXC. The formatted capacity of my card is 59.4GB. I have about 31GB of free space. This card was NOT empty when I ran these tests. I'm not sure that would effect the tests at all, but if so, this should lean more towards real performance rather than results you'll never see once you start using a card.
Here are a few speed tests:
Hello guys, just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 from a technology store in Cyprus
I have a problem with the SD Card Socket, it doesn't click when i insert the sdcard and i have to drag it out to take it out, it won't click out either.
Using an 32GB Class 10 Verbatim MicroSDHC.
I've used the application SD Tools several times and when i "Start Speed Tests" the application freezes and i can't use the sd card in any other application, I don't know if any other guy has this issue.
If anyone knows anything please tell me how to fix this

If you just bought it and have such a problem... The better option might be to take it back on warranty and see what they have to say about the sd card slot. Since it is not clicking in properly, maybe some of the connectors are a bit out of line with the improper insertion.
Hell yeah, that's what warranty is for. Why pay to fix something that should be working out of the box...
