Theoretically if it supports 16 it should support 32.. & Since we know it does support 16 32 should work..

I have a 16gb in mine works perfect, but this question is kind of pointless anyway. Can you even buy a 32gb microSD ? I haven't found one.
Clinton

there are some test units running in the wild, I Would expect them to show up at the big etailers any time now..

Hmm. I have not found any 32GB versıons off the Micro SD cards.
I do just have a 16GB one.
However I do not know how the phone works.
All I know ıs that it is in my mail at home.
Just cant wait to try it.
Gonna be exciting to see how it is compared to iPhone 3G and SE X1.

It will support pretty much any microsdhc card the higher class the better chance

Is Class 6 that important?
I'm getting a MyTouch today. Is it better to get a 8Gig Class 6 over getting a 16Gig Class 4. Is the speed much of differance in day 2 day operations? Yes, the answer would just get a 16Gig Class 6 but, the price is a little high compared to the Class 4 models. So, more storage or speed?

Which SD card should i buy?

Hi,
i want to replace the Stock 2GB Micro SD card against a new and better one. Which cards can you reccomend me?
Thanks!

Any class 6 that you can find.
May i recc you use amazon or ebay?
Should find some holiday sales or better prices on new years.

will the g1 support 32gb? i am also in the market for a new sdcard and was thinking of a 16gb or 32gb...currently using an 8gb class 6

Nope, 16GB is limit...The G1' hardware limits it to 16 only, but the card will really have 14Gbs on it not 16...Just like 8gb card has like 7Gbs on it.

It will do 16GB, in theory 32GB as well, but I have yet to see a MicroSD 32GB Class 6 SDHC card, and I just did a google search and didn't see anything either.
For the OP, also check out your local Radio Shack. I was in need of an SD card in a pinch, right here right now, because mine went bad and was causing some bad flashes, and thus needed to fix it ASAP so I could get my phone working right again.
Anyway, they had Sandisk Mobile Ultra cards on sale, and I was able to get the elusive class8 4GB card for $12. Sandisk didn't make them for very long, the performance difference between class6 and class8 is very, very small, and not worth the premium if it isn't on sale.
If they don't have any great buys like I was lucky enough to get (I would have ordered one off the internet when I got home if I hadn't been so lucky) get a class 6 8gb card off the itnernet. Great deal on a lot of memory. If you really are going to use more than 8gb, then go ahead and get a 16gb, but in all honesty the only way you would go over 8gb is if you refuse to add and REMOVE music/videos/pics from you SD card.

I thought it was just a software "limit" and that 1.6+ supports the 32gb out of the box?

Ah your right...Just like Xp cant read cards bigger than 8GB natively while vista/7 can read all sizes.But then again im on hero(1.5) guess that doesnt support 32GB cards.
But i would prefer he saves that money if he plans on getting a new andro

i think i will go with 16gb...seems to be more than enough...not willing to order one off the net only to find it doesnt work...anyone see any good deals on a 16gb card? this was the best i could find...

Much better deals. Amazon will not scam you that is a trustful dealer.

If you have a microcenter near you, they usually have great deals too. Also on the web.

my transcend 8gb C6 actually has 7.65gb usable space.

I am pretty sure it doesn't exist.

Thanks for the replies
I think i will go with the SanDisk 8 or 16Gb class 6 one.

Wintec Class 10 microSDHC 16GB Card - $29.49

Saw this card on Newegg today. Pretty cheap for a Class 10 16GB card and reviewers state it meets Class 10 standards, and that it appears to be a rebranded Samsung card, so it is a quality product.
Android only supports Class 6, meaning this card should be plenty quick, and will utilize full Class 10 potential during file transfers over USB.

Thanks
Ordered 2 !
Happy Holidays!

I just ordered a class 6 8gig from meritline for 15 bucks, just what I had been wanting.

Can you confirm its speed? I was reading the reviews and they were saying the ,speed isn't class 10.

Anybody got a good report on this? I wanna buy it but I see a few reviews saying it works for a week then dies... can anyone vouch for this card being solid?

Wintec 16gb CL10
Just got the Wintec 16gb CL10 from Newegg, put it in my Sprint Hero to format and as soon as it finish saying setting SD card the screen locked up. removed battery/ installed and saw installed apps icons were gone in its places gear icon. Installed original 8gb and app icons were back but apps came up with FC. removed each app and reinstalled and they work fine now. I'm afraid to put the 16gb back in, it seems fine in my laptop. I have no idea whats wrong!

I got one of these around Christmas. Formatted, partitioned and transferred my stuff. I thought all was well until I had to restore a nandroid and it bootlooped. I put my old 8G Sandisk back in and haven't tried again. So my experience was it worked about a week. I guess it's a write/read issue. I had trouble with recovery mounting the card to even see my backups. I had read reviews of spotty quality and I guess I had the bad luck of the draw.

hmmm ok then I guess i'll pass on this one. I want to get one that'll last so i can transfer it to a new phone when i upgrade.

on htc website, it says microSD 2.0 compatable, & i know some phones can only support so much extra storage, ie: some say microSD up to 16gb, so maybe the hero doesnt support high capasity cards.
anybody got a conformation on how big a microsd card we can go, that wont cause issues.
i was looking @ this card in the OP, but now im double thinking.

32GB class 6,a class 10 card will run at class 6 speeds when mounted in the phone.When unmounted and transferring files from your computer to phone or the opposite.

If you mean the 32gb your gonna have to search cuz I've seen very few. Don't remember what brand,most that are 32 gb I've seen are class2. I have a class 10 8gb here and it runs slower in my phone than my class 6 does.Sorry I can't give you more info.My class 10 is a Patriot

I bought the wintech 16 gig card back in january and 15 days later I woke up and my phone said the sd card was not formatted. Both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 only saw the card as 1 gig but neither could format it nor create new partition tables. I lost all the data but luckily had a semi recent backup on my computer. RMA'ed it back to newegg and got a 16 gig class 6 card from a more reliable manufacturer.

SDHC card problem

I have a problem with 16 GB SDHC cards. I'm using nFinityROM 1.15 and when I insert an SDHC card it works for a couple of hours and then it just says something like unrecognized file system. When I remove and reinsert the card it says “Damaged SD card”. I cannot format the card with the phone (nothing happens) and my computer does not even recognize it.
I have tried two different brands (not budget cards) and the result is the same, an ordinary SD card works though.
I figured it could have something to do with the rom so I unrooted the phone and bought a 4 GB SDHC card and it have now worked for two days.
Does anyone else experience the same problem?
Have anyone tried nFinityROM 1.15 with an SDHC card?
Have anyone tried any 2.2 or 2.x rom with an SDHC card?

Wrong post
this post not related to tattoo general should move to tattoo accessories

Gee, thanks, nice of you to at least answer the questions while you bother with posting
Sorry for posting in the wrong part of the forum, if I could move it I would.

A lot of us here have 8 GB, but don't know about 16 GB. That is 8 times the capacity of the HDD in my old laptop!

I have just switched from nFinity1.18 and had no problems with my 16gb card.
I have just flashed nFinityGB-0.5 and still have no issues. Either upgrade to Nfinity 1.18 or you could try formatting the SD card to see if it resolves the issue (don't forget to format FAT32 and back it up first.
hope this helps.

I have tested and noticed that memory cards that are class 4 speed/specification do not work on the phone, so you should check that out.

Do the cards still work on other devices? I had a similar problem where my HTC Tattoo (unrooted back then) kept permanently corrupting memory cards: it fried any card I inserted in like 2 weeks. I had to send it back to HTC and they replaced all the internals. If your problem sounds similar, I'd check your warranty and send it back to HTC so they can fix it for you. Don't forget to revert to the original (unrooted) RUU. Good luck!

This sometimes happens to me. I have a 4GB card. So I don't think this is a issue on the SD card.

Thanks for the answers
The SD cards became totaly fried, did not work at all. After reflashing to stock and the 4 GB card had worked for like 4 days I rooted and flashed nFinity 1.18 and the 4GB card have worked since. I will use it as long as it works, if it breaks then I will send the phone to HTC.

All SDHC cards I have tried is class 2 cards.

I'd the same issue with my 16GB cards so I switch to my 4GB and it had work for 6 month ( 2 weeks on nFinity Rom)
My 16 Gb cards works fine on my daughters Huawei phone :-(
Maybe try to buy a budget 16GB card class 2 card?
Or maybe 8GB card will work on Tattoo.
Need more space for music and Navigon

Still working?
Because my girlfriends Tattoo killed 3 SD Cards (Class 2 8GB SanDisk). And the Tattoo from her brother killed SD Cards too. Only the stock (came with it) works. Buut it´s only 2GB Class 2.
Have no money to try more cards...
So would be nice to know, if it´s because of a wrong ROM...

The 4GB card (class 2) is still working like a charm
I have no idea why the cards get fried but I don't think the rom matters. My card has survived arcos roms, nFinityROM (Froyo) and nFinityGB (Gingerbread) and ofcourse the stock rom. My guess is that it has to do with the hardware but I don't know.
btw have you tried to return the cards to the store? I changed my cards when they got fried. They braged about "life time guaranty" so they hade no choice when I showed up with a fried card

I'm now using a 1gb class 1, cuz the 8gb won't work for more than 2 hours.

My 8GB Class 4 Kingston card has been working faithfully for the past 2 years without any trouble. I have used stock, HCDR, Pancake, SPQrom, nFinity and now CM7.

I also created a goldcard with the 8gb but still got reading problems.
I'm gonna get a 8gb class 4+ next month. Not sure if it's the class that is causing trouble, but...

My goldcard never worked with my 8GB, it used to get corrupt. I found an old 512MB card from an older phone and made it a goldcard. It worked fine.
Then I formatted my 8GB and use it as a general purpose storage.
BTW, I format with GParted on Ubuntu and never have problems with read/write on phone.

But... what is the problem? Does the tattoo give problems with fast cards or slow cards?
And.. in your opinion, will a "patch" in the ROM fix this? i mean if the SD driver is rewritten including a limitation to the speed, will it work?
I have a 8GB SDHC card (i don't remember the class but i will test it with crystaldiskmark) that seldom works..

compatible 32gb cards

hi,
I'm just looking at upgrading my HD7 to 32gb. I've found a class 4 card that i know will work 100%, but i'd much rather buy a class 10 card. Does anyone know if SanDisk SDSDQU-032G-U46A will work ok? available on amazon. or has anyone else had a class 10 32gb card working in their handset?
thanks in advance
will keep this thread posted with updates to try help others in future!

I know some guys are using a 32gb - Class 10 - micro SDHC in their hd7's and just about any 32gb micro SD or micro SDHC card will work now... Just not micro SDXC cards. Not a 100% sure if the SDSDQU model will work for sure though, but if it's a newly manufactured card it should work! If there's a return policy, get it and try it, if it doesn't work return it and get the 32gb - class 10 - SDHC.
You can bench the card that you get in a PC using CrystalDiskMark 3 http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html
and use the 4000MB setting. Then you can post what type of card you got and the benchmark test results in this thread here

tanks for share :laugh:

I just picked up a HD7 to have a play with WP7. Was not intending to upgrade it but when I inserted the sim it did not go in correctly so I had to remove the back anyway. I had a 32GB Lexar class 10 which I know people have reported as not working. I've been running it for five days with no issues. I've loaded music, movies and apps all run nice and fast with no stuttering

the only card that work very good is only old class 2...Sandisk is perfect!

Im using a sandisk 32gb class 10 the red and black one with no problems at all

rocking a sandisk 64gb here
