4GB HC SD works on Wing!

I purchased a Sandisk (genuine?) 4GB HC microSD card off of eBay for $60 and so far it works great.
I've heard that the official word from T-Mobile is that it isn't compatible but I thought I would give it a try anyways and viola...
I'm hopeful that the 8GB one will work too.

nice good to know, well i dont think t-mobile ever gave an official word bout it :O

found the answer...

I was looking at the stats of the Wing from the T-Mobile manual, and it states it supports SD 2.0, which means SDHC (up to 32 GB capacity.)
I'm willing to bet that the 8GB one will work without issue.

anyone else got it working? I bought a sandisk 4gb sdhc card and it doesn't work.

Found out my card was bad, waiting for the replacement

It's 100% compatible...
And this is the compatibility list:
http://www.sandisk.com/Compatibility/DeviceList.aspx?DeviceTypeID=1007&ManufacturerID=1339

That is good as hell to know Thanks

Does anyone know if this will work? Couldn't find any info on Kingston.

EDIT: Sorry its Mini... not micro.... I'll look for a link to the micro....

8gb Micro SDHC
I can confirm that the 8gb Micro SDHC (class 2) works on the Herald/T-Mobile Wing. I just purchased it, and have been using it for almost a week now, with no problems. Both Windows and Mac recognize it as 8gb (less when formatted) while it is in the phone, and have no problems reading or writing to it. I hope this helps if anyone was wondering.

8gb hdsc
hey everyone this is my first post but I would like to let everyone know that I bought a 8gb sdhc card a while back off amazon for 29.99 and it works in the wing. ive been using it for a little while now so.

for the best prices on sd's guys is to go to newegg.com.. its way sick.. thats where i got my 4gb.. its funny you guys asked and waited for response on if it worked or not.. i didnt care.. i just bought it before i even bought my phone lol!!! im a tard but hey luck was on my side lol!!!!!!!

better deal?
not tryin to rain on anyones parade, but heres a link to get 4gb micro sdhc cards on amazon for less than $15 shipped. I've ordered from this place several times and have never had a problem, and no..i do not work for the company..just tryin to share the wealth. Have a 4gb in my wing now, works perfectly.

Some SD cards aren't compatible?

I bought an unbranded 4GB Class 6 card off eBay a few weeks ago and have had to back to the stock card because it only mounts about half the time. The card always mounts under Vista and Ubuntu and writes at 7MB/S so the card seems fine. Is there anything I can do to get it to work in my Dream? It's kinda annoying when I went to show off hero to my friend after saying how good it was and getting laughed at as the thing bootlooped =P

I got a Verbatim 8Gb class 4 that freezes the phone as well.
I bought a takeMS class 6 for cheaper and it works perfectly.

[Q] where to get the best micro SD.

Where did you guys buy your micro SD cards for a cheaper price and how many gb should I get if I want to run cm7 off of the SD? Thanks guys

The NC can support 32G uSD, majority of people uses 16GB or 8GB Sandisk, class 2 or 4.
Some reported Sandisk cards from ebay are counterfeit.

I have three, 4 gb sandisks.
1 is my cwm recovery and allows me to put in nandroids as I need.
The other two are test installs, one for miui and the other for cm7, but.
I have one 8 gb that is my stock 1.2 nook ereader on it.
My nook as a 16 gb sandisk now with cm7 on the emmc.
I have a 32 gb sandisk that I am trying to decide if I am going to break it out and use it since my current 16gb disc is at 14 gb full.

According to other members, Sandisk class 2 is one of the best for NOOK, 4GB seems to be low (the ROM itself - /system - doesn't take that much) for storage but you actually have at least 1GB on eMMC or potential 5GB (if v1.1 or re-partition)

uSD = µ for microSD

Extensive testing, many MicroSD purchases later, and near a dozen SanDisk MicroSD cards says that this link:

Will get you the best cards I and at least one other member here have been able to find.
I've put a lot of work/research into this running from the MicroSD card issue, see my sig for the two threads you should read to understand it.
The 16 Gig SanDisk cards i've gotten from the link I just posted have tested to the best benchmarks i've run so far - and I very thoroughly benchmark my cards.
Best of luck to you!

Sweet! Thank you, mine is already on it's way.

I know you'll like it - it's great to be able to take the guesswork out of finding something that works so well.
These cards were originally found by user busyworked, and he put quite a bit of research into tracking down model numbers to locate these specific cards.
The original post is Here.
One of the things that makes this community so fantastically great, is the amount of work that people put into this stuff on their spare time. By keeping the record straight for who found (or did) what, we can keep building on that knowledge without crossing the same ground. It's also great to make sure the right people get credit for what they've done.
I'd hate to take credit for anothers discovery, just want to make sure others know how much effort he put into finding that gem of a card. I didn't have enough time earlier to link the post, but the shopping link was a shortcut on my desktop and quick to call up.

I got this card but it came "oem" No packaging and couldn't tell if it was new. It wasn't described as oem in packaging from Etech, very annoyed by this.

Keep your fingers crossed that it isn't a counterfeit.

Yeah, I hope it works when mine arrives too.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

I have one of these, it outperforms every other card i've been able to get my hands on.
Forget what the packaging was like when it came in, but shipping was quick.
It's marked in the same fashion as another SanDisk (8 gig class 4) card I bought at Radio Shack.

My 8 gb sandisk from etech was in new retail packaging.
My 16 gb sandisk from etech was OEM (no package, no nothing for that matter).
The 16 gb sandisk seems to work just fine, I've had it for about a week and a half on my nook color as it's primary sd card with emmc with cm7.

After thinking about it more deeply, my 16gig card came in just the small plastic case with a full sized sdcard adapter, no original packaging.
I run my OS from the card, not emmc, and it is fantastically better then other microsd cards i've used.
It doesn't bother me that it wasn't advertised about the packaging, but I can certainly see how some(probably most) people would be ticked about it. I concede without question the legitimacy of the argument.
I defray the idea that the card may have been previously used by the amount of business the company does. I think they pump more volume out then they could keep track of an 'employee loaner program' or whatever.
At least this thread has borne out this fact, so we can say buyer beware of the packaging issue.
That said, it's still the best MicroSD card we know of - unless some of the people researching the "operating system from MicroSD" situation have some hidden gem they aren't talking about.
(I sincerely doubt this, it's like the complete opposite of the spirit of the place we are in...tantamount to committing sacriledge in a church or something)

Sorry, I didn't think to mention this.
Both 16gig cards I ordered from there came in OEM packaging, didn't seem like a big deal to me at the time.
I never considered any of the thoughts surrounding that revelation, or I would have made it known up front.
My apologies.
(still a rockin' card though)

I'm happy with mine. Can't beat the $17 Amazon/etech charged. Aside from the shipping envelope it came in, packaging looks just like I'd see it on the shelf at walmart...
Works great too!

I bought this one to use it in the NC. Very fast, comes with adapter.
Free shipping. The store itself is very good, respectable. I have bought laptop from them before.

I get all my electronics online, almost always from Amazon.
The size sd card you should get depends on what you want to keep in your nook.I don't store music our videos on mine so 8gb us plenty for me.

SanDisk faults!

SanDisk have a fault in some of there 32gb and 64 gb micro sd cards.
The fault seems to affect only the S2, S3 and our Note 2.
My phone just could not see the external card, and when it could it wanted to format the card.
I emailed sandisk support, and a new one is in the post.
More info here:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/18/galaxy_s3_sandisk_msd/
Hope it stops a few of you throwing you card in the bin, remember the card has a 5 year warranty, or lifetime warranty.
Hope it helps.

Funny mine just died yesterday. 16GB class 4

hrmmmmmm thats why my SanDisk Ultra 32GB class10 keep restarting every bloody time i turn on the screen...going to save my pics now just in case something happen and Thankyou Very Much Mate For The Info :good:

Yup my 32gb ultra took a dump a week ago woke my phone up and I see ready to format card in the notifications going on by itself. Deleted everything. Then would not read it at all. Could not mount it on my laptop either. Sandisk was good about it they sent me a prepaid label amd shipped me a new one. Now I dont keep any pics on there just music. And with isyncer I upload all my pics when I sync. Bought mine from amazon by the way.

I was lucky, they just asked me to send them a picture of it broken in half. And they sent me a new one, with then fault corrected.

Had an issue with my 32GB card too. Sent it back to MyMemory guys and they have sent a new card out to me today.

I've got my 64gb card returned to sandisk and I'm waiting for a replacement. While I've been waiting I got a 32gb sandisk ultra and didn't reformat to fat 32 as so many people have suggested. I just left it as it is and it's been ok for the last 3 weeks, but I should add that my 64gb card was ok for several months before it crapped out.

Mine crapped out last night, is it the heat thats causing the problem? Coz my phone seems to be heating quite a bit lately on HSPA+. I got the notification of scanning the card every time I woke up my phone, and late last night I got a Format the card issue. I was sleepy so I didn't bother. Today morning while I was leaving for my jog, I tried playing some music when it just died. I will be calling them soon to ask about it. My luck that I transferred my photos out just a couple of days back. But I might have lost some of my music.

I'm having the same problem with my SanDisk Ultra Class 10 64GB card. It worked perfectly for 5 months.
Now, it hangs my phone, everytime it is in the phone. If I remove it, phone works perfectly. Never had or have any read / write error. Just the phone hangs.

128GB Sandisk microsdxc works in the p6800

Hello,
I am pleased to report that the Sandisk microSDXC 128gb card does work in the p6800, stock JB MD3. The card must be formatted to FAT32. The card is shipped formatted to exFAT.
Enjoy!

I purchased it from Amazon when they were offering the card (pre-release) for $119USD, so less than $1USD per GB. Not too bad. The write performance is OK nothing great. But, the card can store my entire .mp4 music collection with no card swapping!
Given the discounted price, I'm happy.

No, but my Samsung Galaxy 5 player did take awhile to recognize the card. Perhaps it was because the card has over 17,000 files!

Samsung EVO 64gb
I want to share my experience with you.
Long time waiting and trying this thing 64gb to work with my Gtab 7.7 without succes until today.
I received this Samsung EVO 64gb UHS-I from Amazon.fr and right from the box it did work with device. Yes happy to see that and more happy to get all my stuff from the 32gb on it readable and writable.
One remark, my Gtab is actually running under Kitkat Rom 4.4.4 of Carbon release 12 Sept. 2014.
Wait and see how long this will last....
