SD card class - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It looks like the unbranded 8gb class 6 card i bought has completely stopped working, so i'm thinking of getting a new sandisk card.
People previously thought that the class of the card affected the performance of the phone. Is that still what people still think now the new ROM has come out and sped up the phone?
Any advice on how to revive my unresponsive card (phone say no sd card detected). Or what card to get as a replacement, i might go for 16gb.

I'm using a 16Gb card myself i bought it on ebay its not a 6 class card. It isn't slow i'm listning music play games(games are on sd card) but it was never slow.
hero was slow with the stock rom.

Is it branded? I think buying a cheap unbranded one before was a mistake.

The one i have says toshiba. ad what i read is that there is no major difference between class 2 and 4 but i'm not sure. i didn't pay much it was a cheap one. i make also backups off my sd card if happends something to my sd card.
If you want to buy a good one buy a branded one. sandisk is a great one.

Anyone have any problems using a class 2 card?

high capacity micro sd card with standard att mobile 6 rom?

my question is, does anyone have a high capacity ie. 4GB card working with the windows mobile six from att website. If so what brand, size, and class are you using.
I will start by saying i have a 4gb transcend card that works sometimes after reinserting it. It is a class 6 speed.
Basically im looking to replace my card with one that is more reliable and that works all the time.
As far as i know.... And i may definitely be wrong here
The Hermes bootloader doesnt support micro SDHC card...So if you want to flash from a SD card, you always need a 2gig or smaller card.
Alot of the ROMs available here do have micro SDHC (i think also known as SD2.0) support, but i am not sure about the "official" ROMs!!!

Possible compatibility issue with TP 2 and 16Gb class 6 microSDHC

I have a T-Mobile TP2. I also have an A-Data 16Gb class 6 microSDHC card.
Intermittently, the 16Gb card will "disappear". When starting Copilot Live 8, I will get a message indicating that there are no maps installed. Maps were originally installed on the 16Gb card. Additionally, when I get this error, the Storage Card is no longer available in File Explorer or any other app.
All I have to do to restore functionality is to remove/re-insert the card or do a soft reset.
Here is a link to the card I purchased:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...m_re=A-Data_micor_SDHC-_-20-211-380-_-Product
I have tried the card in a Cannon SD 1000 and have taken several hundred pics and 10s of videos with no problem (thanks to my kids for helping out here!)
I also am now using my A-Data 8GB class 6 card in my TP2 and have NOT experienced the same problem.
I have contacted T-Mobile US, A-Data and HTC.
T-Mobile and HTC offered no help. T-Mobile did offer and has sent me a compatibility list of cards that were tested by HTC.
A-Data has agreed to RMA the card so we can be sure that the card (well we hope) is not the issue.
Is there anyone else out there that has tried this particular card or another 16Gb Class 6 card in their TMO TP2, or any other TP2, and run into similar issues?
Here is the compatibility list I received from T-Mobile:
ADATA 4GB
ADATA 8GB
Kingston 4GB
Pretec 4GB
Pretec 8GB
SanDisk 16GB
SanDisk 1GB
SanDisk 2GB
SanDisk 4GB
SanDisk 4GB
SanDisk 8GB
SanDisk 8GB
SILICON POWER 4GB
SILICON POWER 8GB
Toshiba 4GB
Transcend 1GB
Transcend 2GB
Transcend 4GB
Transcend 8GB
I have the same problem with the disappearing sd card.
mine is a transcend 8gb sdhc, and disappears at random times when listening to music from the sd card (with every player I have tested, the touch flo integrated player, windows media player, coreplayer and nitrogen)
tested with the default rom (asia wwe 1.19.707.1) the updated 1.19.707.2
and with a couple of winmo 6.5 custom roms.
It doesn't happen with video though. I have watched a couple of 30+ minute videos with coreplayer without problems, but maybe it was just luck.

Oh no! That makes it sound like it might be an inherent hardware issue in all TP2s! unless the driver code is the same across all of the different ROMs you have tried.
Not good news at all!
I've had a few of problems with a SanDisk 16 gig card seeming to disappear while still installed in the phone. Can't remember where or when exactly it was, but it was mentioned on here that from time to time, the filing system on the cards gets screwed up by Windows Mobile, requiring a complete reformatting of the card. Since then, I've kept a regular backup of my card, just in case. needed it a couple of times too.
Hope the above helps.
I am using a SanDisk 8Gb Micro SDHC and have also had the disappearing problem. I was not playing any content off the card. Just a few times when I went to get some pictures or files off the card or save an attachment, the card was missing/unavailable. I removed it and put it back and then it worked, but eventually became unavailable again.
I have a 16Gb A-Data card and have had no real issue. The only problem I have noticed, is if I charge the phone fully with the phone turned off & SD card in place, it then doesn't recognise the card. I then had to remove the card and access it via the PC before the phone would recognise it again - however no data was lost.
This doesn't happen if I charge it with the card removed, or if I charge it while the device is on.
Other than that it works fine - but I don't use coPilot.
Cheers,
fyi,
no problems so far with a Transcend 16GB Class 6 MircoSDHC (TS16GUSDHC6) in combination with a german T-Mobile MDA Vario V (Touch Pro 2).

I have the same card with the exact same problem. Re-seating the card fixes the problem for a while. But at least once a day it gets lost. I did not have any issues with a Kodak 4g card.

RiData 16GB Class 6 in Telus TP2
I have a RiData 16GB Class 6 in a Telus Touch Pro2 and have not had any problems with it. I have been using it constantly for over a month without a single problem. I would suspect the card as the TP2 is stated to handle 16GB and I am sure it will even take a 32 GB when they come out.
I have takeMS 8GB Class 6 card and initial UK Pro2 and card disappears whenever I listen to music regardless of player. Luckily card never disappears when I use TomTom or Garmin for navigation.
Currently this makes my Pro2 obsolete for listening music. I just hope that changing card will help with this issue.
I have also been having the same problem with a disappearing storage card, and I have the same microsd as the OP. For the people with the problem, can you make your card disappear by playing music on the HTC Audio Manager and then turning of the screen with the power button? My card disappears within a minute after playing music with the screen off, which also happens when i turn the screen off with music playing on Conduits Pocket Player.
me 2
with a data
i guess it's asoftware problem
cause that happened once to me before with i mate 9502 and a patch was developed then it was ove come with the new firmware
I previously used an A-Data 16GB class 6 card that kept disappearing on MP3 playback after about 10 minutes at most. Today I received a new Sandisk 16GB class 4 card. Been playing MP3s for 3 hours now with no problems so far.

Sandisk 16Gb class 4???? Where did you get that? I thought they only had class 2 so far.
Just checked Sandisk website. All I see are 4, 8 and 16Gb class 2 micro SDHC cards.

I received my replacement 16 Gb card from AData on Tuesday. Everything has been working fine with the new card.
I heard back from AData again today.
Turns out, there was an issue with my original card. That have not narrowed it down yet but have indicated that there is definitely something wrong with it.
If anyone else has an AData card with a similar or any issue with their card, just contact them @ [email protected], for US customers, for a prompt response.
i think the issue of compatibility of tp2 and micro sdhc is a scarry nightmare
but from browsing the net i figured out
make sure that the card calss 2 or any type supports that
thank u

good to hear that
it's better to write your experience so that other members could find the right soloution for them
thank u
See post #9 above it has been over a month and a half and my RiData 16GB class 6 has never given me a problem. As I said then if you are having problems it is probably a defective card, and as mmeyer4663 said in post #16 the problem was the card in his case.

[Q] SD Card

I have a class 4, 32GB micro sd card and i'm planning to buy a new one. I'm thinking about buying a class 10 64gb, but i don't know if the phone will support this much memory.
There is any drawback about having 64gb? Should i get a class 10 32gb instead?

It has been reported that Xperia 2011 devices like Arc S and Play support 64GB so I think it should work, but it is NOT advisable! And only ONE Neo V user has reported using 64GB hence it is a RISKY investment! :cyclops:
I'd say stick to buying a Class 10 32GB
But if you still wanna get the 64GB then here is the procedure - Insert the SDCard(It might show prompt saying Card is empty) and Format it from the phone(FAT32) and it should work.
Disclaimer : I got info from other posts. I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong with the 64GB choice! :cyclops:

Samsung 32GB Micro SDXC Card fraud?

Hey guys,
so I bought this Samsung Micro SDHC Card which has a storage of 32 GB from this link:
http://www.amazon.de/Samsung-microS...te-MB-MPBGCEU/dp/B00AYC6V2U/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
It clearly states that it's a Micro SDHC Card and when it arrived I was surprised to see that it's a 32Gb Micro SDXC (I thought that SDXC only made sense with 64Gb of memory).
However, I plugged it in my S3 and it worked from the start but then I started to transfer files to it (about 12 gb) from my old Micro SD Card. The speed was ridiculously low, at about 1 MB/s and sometimes even lower. And I was copying big files like videos and also MP3`s where the speed is usually about 10MB/s with my old MicroSDHC Card Class 10. I tried to format it but it wouldn't help.
So then I started to do some research and I couldn't find even 1 picture of the card using Google (Samsung Micro SDXC 32GB UHS I Card), so I'm beginning to think that it's maybe a fraud?
Have you guys seen a card like this or maybe someone even owns one? Would be interesting to know.
Anyhow, I'm gonna write to the seller that I want a new one, since this one is clearly not working as it should.

[Q] S3 internal/built in memory (not sure about the capacity)

anyone know how this happen?
my GS3 is only 16gb, but when i checked imei.info, it says 32768mb on built in memory. the first owner also told me that when he installed a 32gb microsd card in this unit, his files exceeded 50gb. not sure if this is a glitch or something, but i really wanna know if i can use the whole 32gb.
without the sd card, my phone is only 16gb (sd card wont work anymore, its a sandisk class 4 32gb)
