Has anyone else got issues with the use of SD cards in their Alpine derivitive?
Like the card not showing as being there when you try to write to it or explore the phone with file explorer or ActiveSync?
Perhaps videos on the card stop whilst watching them with a file error or the like?
Mine does with all 4 different makes of card I have tried and I am wondering if this is a common fault.
Yep its a very common fault.
I think everyone has the same experiences. (Me included)
what version ROMs do you have ?
there is an upgrade available if yours is the origonal, the upgrade will help a bit.
have a look here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25801
But read to the Third page as "Pug" psted a more up to date package
I am using Pug's Radio version 1.03 hybrid, but continue to suffer!
I have downloaded a SD Card benchmarking utility, my card is showing as 4.7x, but I don't know how that relates to manufacturers quoted speeds. It is either painfully slow or uses a different scale!
1GB SD from Transcend
Some ppl said the Transcend 512 SD works well on the 2i, just wonder if the 1 GB will work as good as the 512...
Any comment will be appreciated
Does anyone know where to get the 4 GB SD-Cards cheapest?
And what branches are there?
A-Data and Pretec i know, but are there more?

I bought a Transcend 256mb 80X card an my XDA IIi has worked flawlessly since with no lock-ups what-so-ever.
I can't speak for the 1mb though!
This seems to be a power issue, the Transcend cards are very low voltage and ampage. My old SanDisk card would fail every time a network function took place, and they are high power drains.
I bought a OEM (white labelled) 1GB MMC and use it on my IIi. Everything is fine so far...
Is there any difference between MMC and SD in terms of IIi flaws?
:?:
Only SD cards are supported by the XDA2i, although if you use the backpack addon i think you can use MMC, but not without the addon.
Someone told me once that the IIi works best with a fast SD card like the Kingston Elite Pro. I changed to that and all my problems when away. TomTom5 stopped locking up as well.
Kingston SD Card
Are there any other users who have used the Kingston Elite Pro SD Card. I have been looking around for a while, and the Kingston Elite Pro 1 GB / 512 MB seem to be a single layered card.
I also wanted to confirm that when using a Sandisk SD card, I am having lockup's. If I take the card out of the slot, the XDA2i begins to respond again. Though I must admit I havent tested it exhaustively.

You mean CF not MMC. SD and MMC both work in SD slots, but not vice versa.
CF type 2 is the slot on the VGA backpack.
SD Card issue
I understand all SD cards work.. I was trying to find the compatability of the same with Tomtom Navigator 5. I understand from the earlier posts that a multi layer card causes lockups. The transcend 80X card works fine. I was inclined towards buying a Kingston Elite Pro and hence the question...
SD Card issue
I have removed this message as it was posted twice by mistake
another Newbie,.,
hiya all. . i'm recieving my Xda 2i in about an hour.. just wondering which SD memory works best.. i read a few posts and quite frankly being quite confused,, was about to order a scandisk SD 1 gb card.. but i read somewhere ppl saying this is bad??
is that true?
thanks..
The Sandisk is not the best one. I have one and it causes lockups being a multilayer card. The transcend 80x works fine ( what i gather from different forums ). The Kingston Elite Pro also has some very good feedback. I am purchasing a 1 gb Kingston elite pro today. Sandisk is a no no... [/quote]

I cannot browse Ebay at work so couldnt confirm. But you could find the card on this url:
http://www.epcbuyer.com/products.asp?recnumber=5761
Its around £44 on this site.
I tried to find a deal at ebay from home yesterday. They are around £39 and are being shipped from HongKong. I dont know when we will receive it. There could be excise + other charges. I am not sure.
hmm.. well on this guy whom is shipping from HK is selling it at 25 quid including shipping.. .trouble is i want it asap .. Heh... buying from him seems like 20 quid cheaper.. howeber have to wait for about 10 days or so.. . so he sez.. not to mention customs and duties.. ....
i just might shell out 44 quid then...

Well you also avoided the same trap... I almost fell into. Though it says £12 (Card) + £13 for postage, but you didnt have a look at the mandatory insurance which stands at £13. In all its around £38 + Other expenses. Not to mention the pain of getting it from hongkong...
Good decision at last...
hellow to every one i want to buy a memory card for my x7500 and i want to know how many gbs can this device see and what brand or specific model is working with out problems....
I have a 8gb Scandisk micro/adapter in my 7501,
haven.t tried anything larger.
I belive some people have gotten 16 gb cards to work, I don't know about anything higher.
Edit: some people talk about using a 16 gb card here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=434519
I have Sandisk micro SD With Adapter 16GB No Problem.
May be too high price : )
http://shop.sandisk.com/store/sdisk...=S6s6ZwoHAisAAArzFQ4AAAAB&rests=1269512807325
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..
Hi,
I want to buy a micro SD : I have seen that the maximum storage for micro sd was of 16 GB.
Someone has already tested a 32 GB storage card?
If yes, Does it work correctly?
Thanks for your answer.
it's works i don't now how becouse i just test my friends card.
Sorry for my English
Maybe it's was on android 1.6 (max 16), but 2.1 should be supported with 32GB
well, i got my X8 only a week ago, it's my first smartphone.
seriously, what do you guys want to store with 32GB card?
i can't imagine what to store in such space, i figure one could make a portable toilet out of it and still got some more space.
Movies (avi, wmv, etc). HD photos from professional photocameras, hi fi music like wav. Download a lot of stuff with torrent client and else. 32 GB really need for me.

Question was not what I do with all that storage.
Is it possible to have 32GB card in X8 I think that it support up to 16GB ??
I couldn't tell you, because I've bought an 16GB card (class10).
With the price of a 32 GB microSD, I could not fool me.
I think that 32GB is more money then the Phone
You are able to mount 32GB card I've just checked it out but the results are horrible - 500 MB of freshly copied music on the card, and now it is showed as "damaged" on the notification bar. I wouldn't recommend it to you.

I think the X8 will also work extrem slow with a sd card of 16 or 32gb
And with 32Gb class10? The read/write speed is biggest?
I believe that is not a question of card's speed, but more of device's ability to comprehend such a huge space. Just like with enormous hard drives in older computers.
ok.. maybe this out of topic..
what brand of SD card with class 6 or 10??
n where to buy??
im just unable to find it in my country.
in my opinion, 32gb can be handle with very well if this SD card are good.
i mean good SDHC
i found it in my country, designed for camcorder and etc..
but price also different
i just want 8gb with class 10..
currently i have 8gb, no class
my quadrant almost same with droid x, so i think if i have good SD card i can overlap droid x.
where to buy???
32 gb for a phone is a lot of capacity
Im using 32gb sandisk class 2 memory card in my galaxy s initially when it was 2.1 it was slow. But now after 2.2 update its okay. Only startup and shut down process Will take long time. class doesn't matter on phone it matters only when data is to be transferred from pc to phone . Max transfer speed Will be 2mbps in class 2.

there's a lot of good brand to choose actually, personally i'm using transcend.
what city are you in? in Bandung, you can try BEC. i bought mine from kaskus though, it has almost everything we look for
class.. hmm IMO it's unnecessary to use such a high class card. class 6 (6MB/s) is sufficient enough, because android apps are usually not really big, only 10-12 MB at most so no need for such a large data transfer rate.
Has anyone had good success with the 32Gb card? I dont want to buy one if it's just gonna not work properly.
thanks
Won't work
Chances are, it wouldn't work.
The Xperia X8 currently only supports up to 16GB of memory. If you go higher than that you would experience problems. You might be able to make it work for a few minutes then it might not be able to read the mem card.
Hopefully, in future updates we could use 32GB cards.
I've searched around, no walk-arounds on this yet. If I were you, I'd stick with 16GB. That's a lot of storage!
Hi,
I tested 64GB mircro SDXC in my LG 2x (Modaco rom Gr6 and HP 2x kernel RC12-R) and it DOES NOT work
I was able to format the card to FAT32 in the phone, but when I try to mount it, the phone restarts itself.
If anyone else has different experience, please share.
BTW the card is SDSDQY-064G-U46A
UPDATE:
I managed to fix it. I'm not sure which steps were actually necessary but just to be sure I list them all.
First I tried NicomUA's idea of splitting the patritions in two 32GB. For that I used Paragon Partition Manager 11 Free. And IT WORKED! I made two partitions. I was able to access the first one in the phone, but I could not format or edit the second one neither in the PPM anymore.
So I used SDFormatter 3.1 and reformated the card into its original state with option "Format size adjustment".
Then I checked the partition structure again in PPM. It was exFAT, but with 16MB free space at the beginning.
I formated it to FAT 32 and resized it to 32GB (Now I made only one partition and left the rest of the space unallocated). It worked in the phone.
So I tried to resize the partion to see how far I can go. 32GB worked in my phone. 33GB worked in my phone! And suddenly whole 64GB worked in my phone!!!
I filled the card with movies and music to the max and tested if I can really access the content and YES, I was able to play anything on the card!

May be the limit is 32GB ??
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
Officially, the limit is 32gb. I've seen mods that enable sd cards with higher capacity than the official limit on other phones, but sadly, I don't think there's one yet for the 2x.
yeah, exactly what the other users said on above posts. i also tried it a week ago, in cyanogenmod 9 and it does not detect the sd card (no reboot happened to me, simply doesn't detect it). Let's hope someone release a mod soon for this... 32 gb is nothing... :|

Well I got 1 Gb and it's ok , just kidding.
Try to make one 31Gb(or less then 32Gb) partition on SD card. It can start work.
Not made for SCXC
i dont think making 2 partition will work ,the SD card reader is made for SHHC (high capacity ) not for SDXC (Xtrem capactity ) ,so i thing it's a hardware problem
New info. Read in the first post...
Thanks for the info ! it's a very good thing to know !

Guys I have found this Sandisk 64 Gb Micro sdxc....its really cheap
http://www.ebay.in/itm/SANDISK-64GB...E-PRICE-FREE-SHIPPING-ALL-INDIA-/150795837120
Should I buy this and what are the chances that it will work with our O2x
And according to this
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
it says it performs even worse than a class 2 sdhc card in random 4k write speed
So, what would you advice should I buy 64 Gb or a 32 Gb Class 10???
Thanx in advance
Oh boy! Gotta try it out.. 64 grams is impressive..
I would prefer the 32gb class 10 for the speed... also 32gb is plenty of room to fill... class 2 is very low speed and could interfere with the recording of videos for example in 1080p... I think...
Cheers
wow that's great news. thnx.
has anyone tried the 64 gb in O2x or any other android for that matter???
i am in a dilemma here whether to buy 32 gb class 10 or the sandisk 64 gb?
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
go for the faster 32 gig. you will be sorry if you get the 64 gig card only to see that it cant read /write your huge files fast enough.
I think m gonna wait for a month as my exams are round the corner..
but i'll definetely buy a sandisk mobile ultra as it has the best benchmarks
B/w Has anyone else got or tried the 64 GB card in optimus 2x??? Plz reply guyz...
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
Anybody besides the OP has managed to do this ? I've tried for weeks, I give up.
Used two cards, both SDXC 64GB, the SanDisk Ultra Mobile and a no-brand one from Amazon.
I used two different Optimus 2X, one running CM7, another running CM9.
The cards can't be formatted in the phones, they are simply not recognized at all.
I formatted them in Linux and Mac OS X, always FAT32, and always made a partition smaller than 32GB first, then tried ExFAT, full or bigger partitions, unallocated space in part or all, anything really. Nothing works.
Edit : the cards are fine, I can use then in Macs, PCs, DSLR and even a Galaxy Note. No problem.
Any ideas ? I'd think it's just not possible and the O2X hardware doesn't support SDXC, just SDHC, that's why I'm asking if anyone else can comment.
