Micro SD 16GB SDHC

Quick question guys, i have searched, is the TD2 compatiable with microSDHC?

Where did you search, a good place to start would be the specifications section, although does just say SD 2.0 compatible. A quick google on SD 2.0 would get you the answer though.
(Oh yeah, it is microSDHC compatible)

yes, the topaz is compatible with SDHC up to 16gb

Yeah, should do. microSD 2.0 is microSDHC. I've bought a sandisk 16gb card (class 4) for my phone. Still hasn't arrived though, so can't confirm anything. But according to specs it should be a perfect match

Could you check if your card is really class 4 (maybe test it transferring large files on it using a fast adapter? Most card I have seen are class 2, and the one of the only class 4 was subsequently reported as class 2 in a (rightfully angry) user review.
Juts curious, I already have ordered a 16GB sandisk class 2, which seems (by far) the most common 16GB card available. No test yet (still waiting for my card AND my TD2 ;-) ), but others have reported the combination to work and the class 2 speed more than enough for the phone, only the transfer from PC to card may suffer. The other potential area where write speed is important is video recording and photos in rapid succession....But I think VGA recording will not tax the card, and TD2 is not able to take shots in that fast a succession...

thanks....gave up after looking at specification just wanted to be sure before forking out £40

Hi,
I have a 16GB sandisk class 2 currently in my phone and it works fine. I have played a few divx/avi files off it fine. Haven't tested the video recording though.

thanks for the feedback buddy

sandisk ultra is class 6, the normal cards are class 2
i have to correct it:
the 1,2,4 and 8GB ultra cards are class 6, the 16GB is still a class 4
normal sdhc cards are 2
i have a class2 8GB card works flawlesly

I would hope it is. My Elfin is running with a 16GB micro SD. It would be toture if I got it and it didn't. %100 sure it does though.

i have Sandisk class2 16gb on my new Diamond2 and it works 100% fine

does not work
i have just bought a 16gb sandisk sdhc card and it will only show up as 4gb in my phone and laptop and i have also been told the phone does not support sdhc buy a memory card retailer

For the record... I have a Kingston 16GB SDHC. Works like a charm.

Me too... been running a Class 2 16mb Sandisk since day one and no problems.

Does anyone know if a class 6 (16G) will work in the Topaz?

I didn't see differences between class 2 and class 4.....
I'm using Kingston 8GB class 4

+1 for the Class 2 16mb Sandisk.

I've just changed from the Class 4 8mb Sandisk, and the difference in speed loading up the card with music/video is minimal. I think the TD2 itself is maybe limiting the speed more than the "Class" rating. There might be a bigger difference if using an external card reader to write to the card.

Class 2,4,6 should all work. I would think the brand is more critical than the Class, which only gives some indication of max writing (not reading) speed.

After trying with 2 different brands of Class 6 16G SD cards with no luck whatsoever, I decided to go with a Class 2 and works flawlessly.
I didn't want to waste more time with a Class 4, for now, but maybe I will test it in a little while.

What memory card should i buy?

i've read here and there about microSD card classes. i want to flash the latest cyanogen mod to be able to use apps2sd - so what class/type memory card should i buy?

The general consensus is that class 6 cards provide the best speeds with apps2sd roms. But then some ppl say they don't really notice a difference. Personally I use class 6 and can say that they work great.

.

You should buy an 8GB class 6 from A-data ! Their memory cards are superb compared to others. I have tried Kingston, Transcend and some other stuff but nothing can compare with A-data

go for an 8gb or 4gb class 6 sandisk.
They're hard to find but are the fastest around.
And you've actually heard of the name!

Always used the fast 4gb class 6 Sandisk one.

Use the cheapest class 6 of the size you want on Newegg.

Just wait for SanDisk's 32gb MicroSD, more space for more apps, music, and movies

I found that some SanDisk cards don't have the class number written on the cards.

What does it matter that the class number isnt on the card? Just look at the box when you buy it

using a class 4 PNY 8 gig card works fine with apps2sd.

im also looking to buy a class 6 16gb card. Plz tell me which one should i buy from www.newegg.ca
was thinking A-data or Ridata

Most plain blue Sandisk memory cards are class 2. It's not until you get into there ultra series will you get class 6 speeds. They don't mention it so it's easier to disguise products and not make it comparable to other brands.

newegg doesn't show the image of the box. I don't think they mention it on the box either but I need to get a hand on the box first.

Compatible SD Cards for Windows Phone 7

Hi there,
i want to make some Thread about the SD Cards for the use of Windows Phone 7 and want to collect information. I Think many people who want to use WP7 on HD2 have to buy a new one, even my 16 GB SanDisk Class 6 is not compatible.
I found this on web:
Hi, actually the Samsung Focus has a 16GB internal memory and expandable up to 32GB. So you can insert a 32GB micro SD card on this device. However there are certain limitations when it comes to the micro SD card. Compatible micro SD cards will be branded as “Windows Phone 7 Compatible” on the packaging. Approved cards can be obtained from the manufacturer or carrier. (The SanDisk 8GB class 2 micro SD card has been certified.) Many commercially available retail micro SD cards are not approved for use in Windows Phone 7. Use of unapproved cards may cause performance degradation or device instability, including unexpected reset and loss of user data.

edit: ah sry i think wrong section

i use a 32gb SDHC sandisk (don't know the class but i think this is the regular one...)

For WP7 i use the 2GB SanDisc that was sold with the phone. I had crashs at first install but after Hardreset it is working without lags or crashes. Everything is fine.

you sure? i also had insert my 2 GB after the 16 GB makes crashes...but i think it's still not included in system, because i only git 180 MB storage i'll try out at home with the offcial post of WP7 ROM
but so far i know only class 2 sd's from sandisk are working

I have a sandisk 4gb class 4, everything works normally from the first boot
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

My 16GB Sandisk class 2 worked then all of a sudden the phone kept rebooting constantly. I had to reflash again to fix the reboot, 1 hour later it kept screwing up again.

i have wifi problems with my sandisc 2 gb , today i will be tryin lixar on 16gb

I also tried the 2GB SD Card, that came with the phone. It doesn't work. The phone shows only 15mb and the free space is full after a few minutes using it.

Yea, phone memory is VERY low but i copied 1,5gb music on my phone with that ****ty zune software and i can play it with the music player on wp7. Looks like the card is in use but only a low ammount for the system i think.

My Kingston 4GB Micro SDHC class 4 works but I'm finding that the Phone can get very laggy. I didn't have this problem when there was no SD card in the phone. I'm guessing its my SD card?
Can everyone post how the phone runs with their SD cards.

My 8GB Class 4 Kingston (SDC4/8GB) work like a charm :>

Hi bro, cheers for that information. Checked the sources you provided. Interesting comments there, one saying that SanDisk withdrew its compatibility Page since they haven't tested their (those) cards on WP7 yet themselves...
So we actually are left out in the wild with as much info as before. So it is even more important that people here report their experience with their cards.
I would strongly recommend, that people pay very close attention to the performance and any interesting detail before they post reports here. This would ensure quality of this thread is high. Maybe you, the OP could add cards, that have been verified by more than one user as working well to the first post? May i suggest that?
cheers...

Kingston 8 GB class 4 SDHC working fine on WP7

Class 4 Sandisk 8GB, works amazingly!, first flash, of course i hard reset it when it was flashed as per win-mo days

Was using Kingston 8gb class 4. Phone picks up the card fine but I was seeing random lags throughout system . It also slowed the market place down to where it was dreadful to download an app. When I removed card. The system is incredibly speedy, and shutdown speeds are very quick.
I am not sure if this is a general problem with these cards but I am going to send mine into Kingston for a replacement, I've read some reviews that there quality control has been hit and miss and some cards don't operate at rated speed.

[Q] SD or SDHC

Looking to get myself a 32gb card.
Just wondering if the play uses SD or SDHC memory cards, or ok with either?

it uses microsd and microsdhc
regular sd card wont do

Yeah, obviously I know it's micro.
Just wasn't sure about the sdhc.
Cheers

It's ok with both sd and sdhc but I think it's not compatible with sdxc (if you'd ever like to get to 2TB maybe it can come in an update, My htc wizard got sdhc support with an unofficial driver update).

A 32 gig card will work just fine with the Play.

I heard there's problems with class 10 32 gig micros on android phones. Is this true?

i'm curious about this, some applications wont work with a class 2 speed sd.
sd or sdhc would do. you should be more worried about the speed. as for now you should think of either getting a class 6 16gb or class 4 32gb (if you could find one).

I have class 10 32gb, works fine on xperia play.
The only problem android has, is you cant format 32gb cards on your phone. But most, if not all cards come pre-formatted anyway. Otherwise you have to connect the card with an adapter to your pc to format it.
*edit
You can format 32gb cards on your phone, but it wont format properly and you will have issues. I did with my old phone, it couldnt scan the card properly and it would reboot while trying to scan.

now that's something
read most of the reviews: crashes and corrupts the files, some even only last within 24 hours i'll stick with the class 4 32gb for now

even with the sandisk 32gb class 2 cards, i already replaced 2 of them when they crapped out on me

haven't read anything about this. and the reviews for a kingston 32gb class 4 on the net has been great so far. but if this will be the case i might just go for a 16gb class 6

Ok, so I got a 32gb card, moved all of my stuff off my 16gb (about 14 gig) to my pc. Took about 20 minutes.
Put my 32 gig in, formatted it & transferred everything over.
Took about 3 hours & when I put it in my play it's saying there's 28 gig left & hardly anything I set to transfer has actually gone to the card ! ?

Do a full format and not a quick format.

Ive seen a class 10 32gb micro sd card for 50 quid, but im worried that its too cheap and might not last long.

Memory cards are very reliable IF you bought the original ones and not those unbranded fake cards.
I've never had issues with ALL my memory cards, from the SmartMedia, SD, MS stick and Compact Flash cards used in my Palm and Sony Clie PDAs, my DSLR and micro 4/3 digital cameras, PSPs and DSL and all the way to the microSD cards used in my smartphones and tablets. I purchased them all from local reputable shops and never bought any from online stores. Can't remember the exact figures but I probably had a total of 30 to 40 cards here in my house.
The problem I see is those cards that are found on online shops that are unbranded (anything not Sandisk, Kingston, Lexar, Panasonic etc are all semi-fakes). Just imagine that Sandisk the world's largest NAND Flash memory maker has yet to come out with a 32GB Class 10 microSD as of now and you can already find some smaller unknown companies selling them at very cheap prices since many months back?
Sometimes if a deal is too good to be true, IT IS too good to be true! Of course if you still proceed to get them due to their ridiculously cheap prices, the risk is all yours. For me, I just buy the originals at original prices and not regret it later, my data is much more important to me than saving tens of bucks.
For some reason, there are quite a lot of fake Kingston cards on the market so beware.
Various issues with the fake/unbranded cards are:
1. Reliability
2. On a 32GB card, you may actually get only 4 or 8GB storage, some tricks were added in these fake cards such that once you copied beyond the 4 or 8GB capacity, it automatically loops back internally to overwrite the oldest copied data.
3. Some 32GB Class 10 cards only had Class 2 speeds.
Another advice is that for smartphone usage, you may be better off getting Class 2 or 4 cards rather than higher class cards. This is because although the class 6 or 10 cards can have sequential readings and writings at their stated class speeds, in terms of random access of data on the card they may actually be slower than Class 2 and 4 cards. In other words, you'll get more lags using higher Class cards.

Here's a test I did with a Patriot LX Series Class 10 32GB Micro SDHC

You sir are correct! My Patriot 32gb micro class 10 lags alot When playing the FPSE the game lags too much but with the micro sd card that came with the Xperia play runs perfect I'm gonna return the card and just get a Sandisk 32gb class 2 from newegg.

Recce5
After doing a test of manually copying content to the card I believe I have fallen foul to buying a cheapo card covered by your point 2.
I've bought quite a few cheapo cards back from my old K750i & PSP days but this is the 1st one I've been stung with.
Live & learn etc !

Compatible Memory Card list

Can anyone give me a list of compatible memory cards with the Venue Pro?
I'm looking to purchase a 32gb card but I want to make sure the card I buy will work with the battery removal/card switch method.
Specifically does the class matter? I can get a 32gb class 10 for £40 off Amazon

i think minimum of class 4 is compatible..
I've just ordered sandisk 32gb class 4.. will be informing if its working.

The class matters a lot. Best to go for only Class 2 or Class 4.
