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.
Has anyone try a 4gb or more? I'm thinking of buying a 4gb sd.

There are no 4GB miniSDs yet; right now, the biggest available is 2GB.

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
bought singly (much less than price for 1Gb in even cheaper stores).....things change so fast....even the mfg doesn't list those or even the 2Gb!
http://www.adata.com.tw/adata_en/product_detail.php?ProductNo=106
....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.
Even though they aren't on the market, AT&T claims the tilt or the Kaiser will support up to a 32 GB microSD card. I'm not so sure if I believe this.
I am looking to upgrade from my 1GB to a 4 or 6 GB card. Has anyone tried a 6 GB card? If so, success / failure ?

Works good here.. One odd issue was that I had to use the included MicroSD adapter stick. I tried another one that was a little older and it reported the media as write-protected. Maybe because it's the super high capacity?
major porn storage
isn't there an issue with the sandisc cards with getting them in and out of the slot and ill fitting or something?
I am using a SanDisk 6gb sdhc card in my kaiser with no issues on insert/remove or the storage side of things. In the UK carphone warehouse have them in stock in their high street shops. I paid £49.99 which was about a tenner over the net price but as we were in the middle of a postal strike at the time I didn't really mind!
Using a 6GB ScanDisc no problems what soever.

great company! pays half of my salary!
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.

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.

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.

i dont think 5x the cost for double the capacity is worth it
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?

It is automatic. The SD card probably comes preformatted with FAT32, which Android accepts. It'll do the folder architecture automatically.

I had the choice between a superfast 32gb sdcard(sandisk extreme 80mb/S) and a normal 64gb card so I took the 32gb card simply because I hate to wait on the progress bar when moving things.
So would exFAT support also apply on a 32gb card? I mean it should right?

Did you check the speed of that card and the transfer rate that Z1 supports?
I want to buy a Sandisk but I don't know whether to buy Extreme (80Mb/sec read/50MB/sec write) or Extreme Pro (95Mb/sec read/90MB/sec write)
can somebody with a high speed microSD card measure the transfer rate with "SD Tools" for example and post here?

Ran a quick test and both write and read is around 40mb/s on my SanDisk Extreme 32gb card. An extreme pro card would do difference if you connect it to pcs alot.
I'm on my phone so sorry for not being able to embed the pic, open the link
The card supports 80MB/sec read and 50MB/sec write, so according to your post, if the trasfer read/write rate is 40MB/sec, maybe there is a limit of 40MB/sec on SD card slot of Z1.
Thanks a lot my friend, you covered me.[

From what I gathered from that app pretty much so. The limit seems to sit at 40/40mb which is pretty fast actually in my opinion - I already knew that there was no way that I could reach 80-90mb/s in reading speed but I did think that 30-35mb/s would be maximum.
But as I said, if you transfer over large files from a usb 3.0 connected sd card reader from your PC time will fly by with this card. because the write speed is excellent!

So the Sandisk Extreme 45MB/sec read/write will be ok with the device, no reason to buy to more expensive 80MB/sec
I got a Kingston 64 gig microSDXC (so-called 'class 10'), works fine. read/write is 35 & 15 mb/sec, respectively.
yes i test and work
It works for me too! Too bad you can't install apps on it without root access.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my new Xperia Z1.
I tried two different micro SD cards, one of 64gb and the other 8gb.
When I transfer music using Media Go, most of it can't be played or fast forwards(damaged files).
Photos I took were deleted a short while afterwards, others were damaged and could not be viewed.
Works like a charm for me:good:
