Hello xda-users,
I would like to buy a microSD card for my HTC Tattoo,
although i noticed in the market that there are maaaaaaany
microSD cards available without any differences.. (except the capacity)
What i noticed and i was curious about is that when
i tried to bought a microSD from a store here in my neighbour
i looked that a microSD 4GB costs about 15 $ and a microSD 4GB [ULTRA]
costs about 25 $ so i wondered what the difference could it be?
I searched the web [yep, google is my best pal] and i saw that there
were only differences in the data writing/reading speed, and not so
dramatically changes.. just a lil bit. They 've told me that if i wanted
the microSD for my mobile i souldn't get the ULTRA one, but if i wanted
for my camera i should.
So.. what my question is.. If i choose the ULTRA one, will my mobile be "faster" ?
EDIT: i forgot to tell you that i use my mobile mainly as music player
and surfing the web [not for camera usage]
All your opinions are accepted.
Friendly,
Menios
SPEED
I think you shout get the normal one its only necessary if you use it to copy and past many files. i don't think that it give you more speed in your mobile

your english is just fine m8.
Thanks for your advice
I would say - get normal one!
Its 15$ and 25$, difference is almoust twice!
Ok, if u got planty of money, you can take the ultra, I dont know what are actully difference in speed, but mostly u would be using "reading" speed, and when u open ur music player, it reads music files, indexes them etc. It would be slightly faster at reading, but I dont think the difference would be 10$ worth
Post the speeds for boath, if u found them.
Id take ultra if it would be 18$ compared to 15$ normal
P.S. 4GB only? I got 8GB, and Im feeling that I might be to short later I might want to put some movie or something in it
P.P.S. as it would be for camera - you would want all the speed, as when u take pic, u want it to be writen in memory as fast as possible to take another shot, so it might be reason why it would be better for cameras.

Hahaha, thank you for your advice, but as it's the double price, i'll pay 20 $ to take a 16 gb one
Thanks again my friend
20$ to take 16GB ONE? WTF???
I payd... let me count, 18Lats, which is 1Lat=2$, so 36$ for my 8GB one
Ofc I could buy in e-bay, but then I should w8 for a month for it to come... didnt want to wait, so ****s in my country cost alot...
Anyway, no problem

Does your 16GB card work in you Tattoo.
I´ve try two 16GB card and no one of this work in my Tattoo.
They works for a while then I get a message that it´s some error with the card and need to format the card.
The cards works fine in my daugthers Huawei phone so it´s not any wrong with the card exept that it´s not working in my Tattoo
the diference is only in the speed. Usually, these types of cards (ultra) are used in video recorder cams, that need an high rec speed.
So, u should by a normal one
sorry about my bad english
So, which one did u buy? Just wondering...
Today I bought sdhc (what difference sd and sdhc?) 16gb card, and it works fine, But before...
I had 8gb card sdhc and it woks fine until yesterday... Tattoo was running on Froyo, then suddenly hangs on, pulling out battery, starting again... and card is unreadable, my photocam says that it locked(adapter isn't locked), Tattoo don't see it... What the problems with it, does any one know?
Sent from my HTC Tattoo using XDA Premium App
Not sure about the ULTRA label, but when i bought i looked at the class of the micro SD card.
Class 2: minimum sustained Data Transfer Speed of 2MB/sec
Class 4: minimum sustained Data Transfer Speed of 4MB/sec
Class 6: minimum sustained Data Transfer Speed of 6MB/sec
Just clarify:
SD cards can not be bigger than 2GB and are slower compared to SDHC which stands for Secure Digital High Capacity.
Having a large capacity and high transfer speed when using apps2sd seemed like a good idea.
I'm not completely sure, how big is the affect how having faster card, but to be on the safe side I went for Transcend 8 GB Class 6 microSDHC.
£10 from UK ebay.

Hi All,
I have a 512 MiniSD and i want to upgrade. So i wonder What is the maximum capacity Mini SD I can use smoothly with my Wizard. I don't want something to slow the device or make it freeze.
thanks
my 2gb miniSD works fine...£33 too
i am using a 2 gig and it works good
thanks for the reply, do you recomend any specific brand or they are all the same
ATP are supposed to be good--waterproof and claim to be faster than other miniSD cards. I read a few posts here about them a few months ago and bought one--haven't had any problems. I don't have another miniSD card to compare the read/write speed, and I don't make a habit of giving my Wizard a bath so I can't vouch for the waterproofness either...
i bought a sandisk 2 gb. works great for me.

dude there is NO 4gb CARDS for minisd. If so....link me and prove me wrong.
4Gb miniSD being advertised...but are reg SD...
I ordered and received one....after a pretty easy search and finding several.....I was unsure when ordered and, sure enough, now have yet another regular SD card for one of the cameras, etc.
I'm sure they are coming out - and possibly some actually already have them, but at $115 a shot for a flakey, poorly advertised seller (mine was a previously good company, CellMem.com - which I had bought other things from over the last few years - but they sent a regular SD.) (No, I hate sending things back, so I just can store even more sitlls on my camcorder or digicam I don't use enough....)
Hell, none of the physical stores even had the 2Gb mini when I looked and only started having the 2Gb full sized a month back.
Give it six months and we'll be swimming in 150X 4Gb mini's for $80....and the rumors *then* will be the coming 250X 8 or 16....assuming that's feasible, of course - six months later if not....
Now I need to go get a 2Gb and a handful of cheapy 128's, 256's or 512's for ROM backup and "'xperimentin'".....and replace this DINOSAUR 1Gb I have from Circuit City (which you couldn't get 18 months ago... ) )
OEM Brand 2gig MiniSD here works great too and at $34, works real good. 4gigs comming soon I am sure.
Just wish the developers of WM5 software made better use of the storage.
Transcend 2GB (80x / SLC) works great just out of the box (no format needed)!
Same Transcend 512MB (80x / SLC)...

See? There ya are! The price is incredible too - $45ish

....notice they also didn't even change the labels on the package all the way - hope it isn't a "Photoshop New Offering" hehehe - the pic still shows 60X, not 150X...
Has anyone used these guys before themselves? The names are so familiar with so many of these...
I guess I'll give one of these a try - maybe throw in one of their cheapy 4Gb ipodoids too.....
....why oh WHY! couldn't I have just stuck with buying cars and guns and parts and accessories for those! - now back into electronics!!!!

Dang, someone just got told.
Hi guys, I am trying to buy a "SanDisk Mobile Premier 2GB Micro SD high speed", I believe it is fit for Kaiser, right?
Yep that'll work fine; be wary of buying on eBay as many tend to be fakes. Buy from a trusted reseller. I have got a 6GB for less than £40 delivered.
If your in the US, you can get great deals @ newegg.com
I purchased my 2gb microsd for 19.99, and 3 day ups is standard shipping.(costs like 3-5 dollars, on some cases its free shipping)
it supports cards over 2GB (Micro SDHC); i have a 2GB Micro SD for now, waiting for a 10-15GB model of the SDHC's to come out so i can dump all my music on it and ditch my iPod
dunno where ive got this from but i think/heard/got the vibe that the kaiser can only support up to 8gb sdhc?
that's great, I was think about a 2GB one but seems like it is not enough? Does Kaiser a good music/video player?

i get maybe 45 minutes out of a charge on the iPod anymore; it will permanently reside in my car soon enough. Dont get me wrong, the iPod is great and all, but pocket space is at a premium for me, and between wallet, cell/PPC, keys, iPod, ciggs, lighter, and PassCards my pockets are stuffed. If 8GB is the most the Kaiser will support, then so be it.

Yes we all need a slim pocket...
By the way here comes a new question, I found that all micro SDHC are come with CLASS 2, that means 9mb/s on reading and 5mb/s on writing... a little bit slow? It that necessay to buy a MicroSD Ultra II ?

up to 32 GB sd card in ATT Tilt
DLD
if you have a 1-2GB micro SD card now, i'd wait a while unless your dying for memory space; they are bound to up the read/write speeds and lower the prices. I teach digital photography, a few years back read/write speeds of memory cards mattered a LOT, nowadays most D-SLR's have a huge cache so a superfast memory card isnt such a big deal, and the prices are fairly decent. My bet is in 6 months an 8 gig Ultra II Micro SDHC shouldnt be more than $60.
thats great to hear RacerX10; even 10-15GB should effectively mean i dont need to drag my laptop and iPod everywhere; 32GB means pretty much ALL my media with me.
SDHC spec is up to 32gig, today the max you can actually buy is 6gig. By the time you can actually buy a 32gig, we'll be using different phones like TyTN III

6GB Micro SDHCs are available - Sandisk seems to be th eonly real supplier at this moment. I'm sure others will have theirs out soon too. I just bought one from www.mydigitaldiscount.com in the US. Got it with no issues, and I've filled 4.5GB of it with music and video.
8GB MicroSDHCs are targeted for release probably around the end of the year. Again, Sandisk will be the first supplier.
No one has even announced an official "coming soon" statement for anything bigger than 8GB yet.

Kaiser is a real good video player(Using TCPMP), but it also depends on the format.
My favorite, and In my opinion, the best format is .m4v (You may need a special convertor for that)
Other formats are either 2 big, or has really choppy playback.
Also you should increase your font and glyph cache to 32768 (makes things more responsive/ smoother)
the SDA SD Card Association has never quite said the 'maximum' size of a Micro SD; there is a theoretical maximum of 32 GB, hence the 'limit' at the moment, which IMO means merely a new 'type' of SD card in a year or two. as for hardware that reads them, there likely is a maximum size they can read.
Currently Samsung has an 8GB Micro SD in development, Kingston and Sandisk are sure to be right behind anyways. besides, its just a memory card; i have piles of 128MB Memory Stick Pro Duo's that i bought for my Sony S710a when it first came out, and 128MB was still a fairly sizeable card for a cell phone; now we're talking 6-8+ gigs...

That's great advise, I used to play .AVI with TCPMP and it works fine but haven't try to increase the cache, due to my Vario I is limited by its memory

high price I would buy a x10 or HTC before getting that 32gb card. My x1 was $400 alone and this would be an extra $250 just saying for $650 we could buying something with alittle more power..
I bought another 16GB memory cards with only Rp. 360.000,- or around 35 US$ last week.
So if would like to buy 32GB, how to buy 2 16GB memory cards?
Hi,
I'm thinking about 32GB microSD, too. It's getting cheaper and cheaper day by day on ebay and dhgate...
Can anybody confirm that it works?
I'll order one and try it myself if nobody says that xperia x1 doesn't compatible with it.
lol this is wayyy to much money for me to dabble into!
$18.24 ?
I'll order one from dhgate and will report my experience.
I got one from expansys, working like a charm
Nice to hear that it works. I intend to buy one too but I dont want to waste monney on a card that wont be recognised by my Xperia X1.
Sorry, i just wanted to say that i didn't order it at the end. I wanted it faster, so i bought an 8gb one.
I think I'm going to order one soon since the price has come down a bit. The minute I hold it in my hands I will post my experience.
did 16gb works ok?
Work perfect
no problems in lagging? No hang-ups? I'm using 8gb right now and am afraid of upgrading because I had problems before when I have lots of apps installed and it slowed down my phone. Like reallly slow.
this time i m using 16 gb sandisk microsd card which is work awesome without any problem ya definately xperia support 32 gb card without any problem because xperia Hardware is Much Better than Other device and good Configuration
I had 16 GB in my x1... and despite my best effort i never used more than 5 GB, so i deleted few useless things, inserted back my 4 GB card, and the 16 GB card is now in my PSP, where it's still used by, say, 50% only.
And to stay on topic, yes, it works, i had the pleasure to test it, though i never had one... edit: and regarding lags: it's more like how much files are on the card, not how big they are... you can stock up 512 MB card to lags as simple as you can do so with 32 GB... just you don't use MP3's but text files... to prevent this, create subfolders... example:
\Music\Favorite Singer\Favorite Album\Favorite Song.mp3
this way there is no chance to experience any lags while browsing files...
btw: try to open \windows\ folder, that's how it should not look...

Absolutely right.
I'm using a 16GB one, with around 600 songs (sorted in folders by genre\artist\album), no lagging when browsing card or using phone.
There shouldn't be a reason why a 32gb card won't work.
It works perfectly but if you feel it bit slower just use tnyynt SD TuneUP app which makes the reading realy fast for more energy of course...
I have finally got my hands on a 32 GB card. It's a Sandisk class 4 and it is recognized by the Xperia X1 without any problems at all. And I don't think there is any difference in writing/ reading speed between my old 16 GB Sandisk class 2 and the new one. I'm absolutely satisfied.
NO
I think it‘s impossible，because it can make X1 become slower and slower！

I'm using 4Gb, i think dat's enough for me..
Can anyone give me some advice on what's the best SD card to buy? Size, speed, manufacturer if possible.
Since I've finally got some money, I can upgrade from the stock card.
Does the size and speed of the card actually make much improvement in the phones' processing, especially using a2sd?
Thanks for your input

i would recommend using a SanDisk branded card.. (im a brand name junkie)
as far as size and speed, i would go with at least a 8GB... depending on what ur goin to be putting on the card you might even want to go with a 16GB... as for speed, i would definitely recommend a class 6 card..
now the size and speed isn't gonna make much for improvement except in the A2SD loading, and photo loading..
Anyone else? The more opinions the better. Gives me something to think about while I'm sitting here at work waiting for my scan of an iPad to finish regenerating

don't think your gonna get too many different opinions.. SanDisk branded cards are top quality, and class 6 cards are as fast as they go atm. the only thing left is how much space you want..

unfortunately, I'm too cheap to pay for a sandisk. How are the transcend ones? Obviously not as good as the sandisk brand-wise, but is there a huge difference in performance?
Planning on picking up a 32GB micro SDHC card, to replace my current 8GB card, within the next two days.
Shooting for at least a class 4, which I will likely end up with, really don't feel like paying extra for a class 6 or 10 at the moment, especially for what I use it for (Music, Apps, Docs, Pics).
Just want to see if anyone else is rocking one yet, and if so which brand?

ADATA 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card with Adapter Model AUSDH32GCL10-RA1
Bought it on newegg for $70 and its a class 10. so far i am happy with it
I have a Kingston 16 GB class 4 in my Vivid. It works great for me, and was noticeably quicker loading the gallery and saving pictures on my old HTC Evo then the standard 8 GB class 2. I recall seeing some people having problems with class 6 & 10 in some phones, but don't remember the details.
32GB class 4 San disk work fine, currently i have no idea to fill it up with
Why stop at 32gb? SanDisk makes a 64GB micro SD card that is compatible... I'm using it right now, unfortunately I can't post the pic from the phone though... Google it also, if you order one, Google a discount code for 10% off and that'll cover most of shipping.

Great to hear, can we just dismount and use adapters to plug into a pc to transfer wiles at will? Does the formatting affect this ability?
I would do this quite a bit with my sdhc card.
now a good question, how much does this 64GB will cost you?
Here's a picture... I ordered mine directly from SanDisk, with the discount and plus shipping it was right around $220.

Well, my 32Gb sd card came in today, so I should go pick it up later today.
Are we given the option to format the card once placed into our phone?
...I have been looking around but haven't seen anything about it so fare...on HTC's site, the manual, etc...
Thanks
woa, what about class 10 not working? I have a class 10 8gb card that im planning on using (got it for like 10 bucks online 2 years ago). I really hope it works fine...phone comes tomorrow so lets see.
What I find amusing is that the Vivid is listed as having 16GB of memory. After OS install and bloatware that drops it to 8.83? wtf is that. Unless boot/recovery/radio all share which is highly doubtful and totally insecure
Class 10 doesn't necessarily mean faster speeds. It does mean faster speeds if you are transferring 8 gigs of music for example. But when it is in the phone, the random read/write speeds are actually worse than class 4. There is a thread on here somewhere about it.
...so how do we go about formatting them for our phone, or is it automatic?
(new to Android)
I grabbed a 32GB Class 10 on Black Friday for $40.
