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.
Hi
Where can I buy 32GB microSD in Atlanta GA?
What Class of microSD is recommended for for HD2 running Android? is Class 2 enough?
Thanks
i don't recomend you to buy an MiicrSD 32GB....
Why? the max i see is class 2 ( low data transfers ) and if exist a class 4 or 6 will be expensive... over 200dollars or more... ( i guess )
You be OK with a micro sd HC of 16GB class 4 or class 6 ( i have one of class 6 and works GREAT! )
If you still whant an sd of 32GB please search on ebay, or other smartphone webs.
Excuse my bad english.
PD: The minimum recomended For me about the class, it's class 4, class 2 works like a ****...
i have a class 2 4gb and other 8gb, and works Slooooow.... but my 16gb class 6 works faster!!
A class 4 32GB microSD does indeed exist, but it's ~$160. And I still recommended having class 6, which does not exist in the 32GB size, yet. Just stick with your SD card and keep your money.

People are saying that we should use a Class 4 SD Card. Same ole BS, HTC puts in a Class 2 and then still ships out Class 2 as replacements. Figure that one out. I know $$$$$. LOL
I don't think you can even run Android with a 32Gb card. I've heard the best card for Android as far as battery consumption and speed, is Kingston 8Gb Class 4.

Android will run with a 32GB card but that's the most the OS can address.

Thanks for the replies.
My current microSD is 16GB Class 2 (Sandisk) and it is running Android with no issue at all on my HD2; so I think that a 32GB of the same Class (2) will not under perform. Since I want to try and compare between several Android builds, I need the space. I am going to be in Atlanta this week, that why I'm looking for a place where I can purchase a leget card. In the past was burnt twice when I purchesased "fake" SD cards via eBay.
Doses any one run Android on HD2 with Class 2 32GB and facing problems due to the card?
If you guys know of a leget place (e.g. Best Buy, etc.) that have the card in the Atlanta area, then please provide the location info.
Thanks again.
Check at a verizon wireless store. Here where I live they were running a promo, if you bought a droid x, you could purchase a 32gb micro at a discounted price.

wouldn't be easier and cheaper to buy a card online and just ship it overnight?
or, walk into a verizon store and they'll charge you plenty, but for a legit card
Which is the best 16Gb SD card for HD2 with WP7 (no freezes, no reboots)? And which card installed in HD7? Thanks!

You may get varying answers with that question but I was using the Sandisk Class 2 16gb card that came with my TMOUS HD2
I ordered a class 2 San disk off Amazon.co.uk for 15.99 I ended up with a class 4 one off them and it works great but I also heard its pritty much a lucky dip with sd cards for wp7.
no way of knowing what cards will work unless you try it, that is the only answer im afraid, class 2 and 4 seem to have a higher chance of working but your just as likely to have a sandisk working as you are having a supermarket own brand
course the flip side is you may get a class 6 or even a 10 working fine too...
its luck, good luck!
Just thought id add my 2 pence, I started with an 8gb class 4 card (brandless) and decided I wanted more memory so I bought a San disk mobile ultra 16gb class 4 from eBay. I was happy with my 8gb cards performance until I replaced it, the speed increase was massive so I would recommend the mobile ultra by San disk my self I picked mine up for £15 with free delivery

a working OS has absolutely no lag, it smooth and very slick, there is a slight touch screen bug that may mean you need to swipe a couple of times but actual OS transitions are incredible, so if you dont have the experience i have mentioned then its likely your card isnt 100% compatible.
I use the stock sandisk 16gb, class 2 sd card that came with my phone. Runs smooth as butter!

The os was slick and smooth on my unbranded card, the speed difference i noticed was when it came to installing apps. I would estimate it takes a quarter of the time to install an app than it did before. Also there was an increase in speed in running some apps for example fruit ninja used to be slow in parts and now runs alot better

oh for god sake, here we go again,
ITS LUCK!! there is no relation to any SD card working on the HD2 for WP7 other than class 2 or 4 seem to have a high chance of success, thats not to say class 6 and 10 wont work, just less likely
Sandisk have cards that work and others that dont, they are not above this problem, two identical cards may not work the same, because the manufacturing process isnt always the same.
in short, ITS LUCK!!
lol
Unless they start advertising it as a WP7 compatible card, which i doubt will happen as devices that run WP7 must have the SD card in or use additional NAND memory, given that mainstream joe public isnt likely to break down their £400 phone to add some memory i doubt very much that SD card manufactures will release a branded product to the highstreet specifically designed for the WP7 devices that can ripped apart to allow an upgrade to the internal SD card.
the very best you can do is find out the batch number of some of the SD cards in the HD7 and attempt to find a high street version sporting teh same number, good luck with that.
My hd2 wp7 doesn't read my 16 gb sandisk class 2 at all. How do I get it to work?
I first used a Kingston 16gb class 6 but had constant freezes, laggy os and constant reboots. Than I used the SanDisk 16gb class 2 and the phone runs just as smooth as my brothers hd7. But I do get occasional reboots still...

Without SD Card wp7 Starts und run perfectly...
Today I changed my 16GB SD card from a no-name class "I don´t know" to a 16GB class 10 SD card. The Phone ist now much more faster than before, it is nearly as fast as my HTC Mozart.
When you have probs with the SD card, it was a very good hint to format it with the digicam.
Greetz, Olli2.
After buying a 16GB SD card I foudnd that my phone would randomly freeze and the screen will not turn on. I've replaced that card with a diffrernt brand and now it works.
I don't want anyone else wasting their money on incompatible SD cards in their Motorola Milestone 2s. So I;ve started a list. I will need as much contribution as possible. Thx!
WORKING:
Kingston 8GB Class 4
Kingston 32GB Class 4
Sandisk 8GB Class 4
Sandisk 16GB Class 4
Sandisk 32GB Class 4
Toshiba 16GB Class 4
NOT WORKING:
Kingmax 16GB Class 10
Lexar 16GB Class 4
Lexar 16GB Class 6
Patriot 32GB Class 4
Transcend 8GB Class 6
SOLUTIONS:
Formatting using the phone's inbuilt formatter
Change to a different brand card
I've been planning to buy a 16GB SD myself, but haven't gotten to it yet.
As the device has a SanDisk SD included, i'd say you're absolutely safe with it. However, Kingston SD cards are cheaper, so I'm keeping an eye on that brand. But my preference is SanDisk.
32GB San Disk working just fine for me.

Cheaper and worse. I have been using a few Kingston micro SD cards and all of them after some time just stopped working or lost whole data in contrast to SanDisk which still working fine
Toshiba 16GB class4 works fine
Lexar 16gb class 6 does not work =[
Be careful about Kingston's 16GB TF card. I don't think it is work fine with Milestone 2. When playing video and music, it is OK. But when playing games (such as Dungeon Hunter 2 HD), the program is often not responding.

Strange, mine transcend 8gb class 6 works just fine under 2.2.2. Perhaps some of you should check out whether your card correctly inserted. The card slot doesn't seems to be very reliable.

Well. My first post database only contains SD cards that have been tested by users and verified to work. So you can contributing by buying cards and testing them and posting the results in this thread.
Thanks!

Hey,
I am just flashing Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 now... I buyed a "Class 10 16GB Card" from a German Reseller (Media Markt) today. But while Im flashing using DFT I just have a Speed from 61 kbytes/sec... I think its not that fast, is it? Have I buyed a "fake class 10" card or something? what do you think?

Than Ill just go to MM on monday and ask for a refund. I will get one
just started again - was copied over in 1 Minute ca Works great But still some kind of slow
I have both 8GB class 4 and class 10, after 1 week using, Class 4 still best for WP7. With Class 10, I got restart many times
lol this is dragging up some old threads!
righty, quick SD card lesson
WP7 needs quick 4KB RANDOM writes/reads there are various threads showing you want seems to be best
Now, Class 2 and Class 4 have slow sequential speeds, compared to class 6 and 10
The class system is defined by srquential speeds, this is useful info if your using it for a digital camera, the higher the class rating the quicker you can read an write those large files
However windows phone 7 doesnt mess about with large files, it needs to access many smaller files in a random order.
Now, They way in which SOME SD cards get higher sequential speeds (and thus a high class rating) is by working some magic, unfortunately this same magic has a side effct of reducing random access, so the general rule of thumb is this
Class 2-4 will give you a higher CHANCE of working
Class 6-10 will give you less CHANCE of working
I say chance because apart from some PNY class 2 cards there are not any cards out there on the market sold as "high random access speeds"
Its luck, pure an simple, a Sandisk 8GB class 2 might work for one person, but not someone else, the reason for that is almost every card is made differently.
So statistically you will have better luck with a class 2 or 4.....
When moving to Yuki-Xbmod Mango rom I had 4 SD cards
16Gb Transcend Class 4
2Gb Sandisk Class 2
4Gb Kingston Class 4
4Gb "No Name" Card
The "4Gb no-name" card was the only one that worked.
I needed at least 8Gb and I didnt want to buy one and take teh risk so after asking my friends and trying there cards I found a "8Gb no-name card" that worked and had no choice but to swap my 16Gb card for a 8Gb card!!
My experience shows no-name cards work better.
