Hi,
I've been searching this forum for information about micro SDHC memory cards that can be used with the Kaiser P4550 and found that the A-Data company seems to make nice ones (fast read and write speeds) as tested by kms108 here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341277
However I cannot find where to purchase A-Data cards from within the UK. I have been looking for a Class 6 4GB memory card and have only been able to find one which I can purchase. It is by PEAK Company who are located in Taiwan I believe. I don't know if this card is good/compatible but I assume it will be;
http://www.peakhardware.com/products/productdetail.asp?Id=325&A=2&B=3&C=35
I have found out that the read speed of this card is 22.5MB/s (high?) but the write speed is 11.84MB/s. (low?)
If anyone can suggest an alternative class 6 SDHC 4GB card which I can purchase online from the UK or from a shop here I would be very appreciative. Also I would just like to buy a card that doesn't come with adapters and other devices lol.
When using a memory card within the PDA phone would the write speed actually matter in relation to the read speed for normal usage or should I just worry about the read speed?
Thanks
Just put one of these in my Kaiser last night. They have the 4GB too. These folks ship all over the world. Don't know what it'll cost to get across the pond though...

If the peaks memory card does offer that speed you have mention, then it's faster than the adata, but do remember a class 4 may not neccessary be slower than the class 6, do consider the sandisk 6GB or 8GB, the results are better than the adata, even with the test done on a low spec PC, for me I will not consider the peaks, haven't heard of it, go for a branded one, the sandisk can be found from many uk online store.
higher speed memory cards do offer a slightly improvement even on phones and PDA, but are more noticable on a PC.
FYI
test results can only be taken into consideration if done by consumers (the end user), and not by the manufacture.
if you are interested on any of the memory card in the test, I have some of them and they are readly available, you must have paypal, do PM me.

Thanks for the replies and info I guess ill be searching for the cheapest 4 or 6 gb sandisk card.
If you are shopping online in the UK be sure to avoid the following:
sandiskshop.co.uk
onlinememory.co.uk
pdaonline.co.uk
CarKitOnline.co.uk
but are all really anpruk.com
See this thread for more details http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345945
If you like to actually receive a product when you pay, best steer well clear of these crooks.
hey thanks for informing me about the crooks stuart_f . That really leaves me stumped about where to purchase a card from lol. I might buy it from http://bargainmemorycards.co.uk
Please help Many thanks.

I have just found a 4GB class 6 A-Data that I can purchase online in the UK but its relatively expensive...might as well get a 6GB sandisk card for that amount i think.
https://www.memory-configurator.co....o_microSDHC-TransFlash-Memory_Card/index.html
Just bought a 6GB SanDisk one Class 4 from Amazon....cheaper than eBay and works great.
Could i have a link to the one you purchased from amazon please...just to compare prices. did it come from another company or directly from amazon? thanks

I really don't understand why some people rather ask and wait than just type in 'sandisk 6GB micro' in Amazon's search. Next time, try to do that on your own...
http://www.amazon.com/MicroSDHC-Ada...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1197710976&sr=8-2
hey _Alex_ i had a look at amazon.co.uk actually i just wanted to confirm it was the same one. it comes with an adapter and reader etc which i didnt want. however the one that you referenced to is from amazon.com and i cant afford to ship from abroad. thanks anyway.
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!
Charltz
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.

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

How do I tell if my MicroSD card is fake?
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.

http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HDMI-Micro-Cable-Feet/dp/B003UH0Z9Q/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_b
together they sell them for $42.99, so is that good?
If your primary usage for the card is for phone then I would suggest to go for class 4 sandisk 32 gb. You can get it around for $30 from amazon (try to get the one that amazon sells by itself just to be sure you do not get the fake sandisk).
How are you going to connect micro HDMI to galaxy 4g (are you talking about the original galaxy S 4g or S2)?
Just came here to post this deal. Just saw the email in my inbox.

Thanks for answering, yes original S4g. I have not seen micro HDMI before, sorry I assumed the TV out connector "micro USB is the same size but taking your Question, I assumed wrong.
Don't buy the lexar its got horrible reviews mostly relating to data corruption or failure. I got one during christmas lasted a week then died returned it, luckily at the time there was a special on the samsung microsdhc for 35$, awesome deal, have not has one problem. I've had many class 10's from various manufacturers and sizes never had a problem with any of them the way the lexar did. Google for reviews theres a large number of people that had the exact same problem. Stay away,wait for another deal if you need one urgently get the pny 32 class 10 which you can find for 42.99 around the net. Also what makes this sale even more ludacris is it's at that price at quite a few places including amazon etc.. I bet they wanna dump as much of their stock of those as possible.
