Does anyone tryed Sandisk 8Gb?
I originally ordered the 4gb stick for about $70 when i first got my phone because i heard it would work. search around the herald forums someone probably answered this already. sorry i can't be any more help.
If it is SDHC it will work up to 32 GB because the Herald supports SDHC-Cards
(tried it myself)

That one wouldn't work because it is a full size Sd card.
Hey everyone, I'm new here but I thought I could help out. I bought a 8GB microsd card from a-data through newegg for about $56 with shipping, and it works fine in my new t-mobile wing which is pretty much bone stock at the moment.
I have a SanDisk 8GB card and everything works great

Good luck
8gb micro sd hc
I bought a SanDisk 8gb Micro SDHC and wouldn't register on my WING. I quick formatted several times but didn't hit me to do a full on FAT32 format. Once I did that, the 8gb was registered. Much thanks to the forum!
AMAZON
I saw some 8gb on Amazon a couple nights ago for about 6 bucks
Try ebay, just bought two for each of my phones for 40+(total for 2) with sd adapter and card reader, many different sellers on ebay, i just try to stay away from china sellers because of the shipping times.
是的，完全没有问题，因为我目前用的就是8gb的，花了145地钱呢！
ive had the 8gb from sandisk for 2 months now. it worked fine until now. my wing reads is very slowly now and my cpu does not even recognize it. i even got another card reader, it took me 3 hours to backup everything off the card through my phone via usb. im now back to the 4gb... i need my 8gb back so badly...
what about 16 or even 32gb ? is it worth to use one of these sizes???
I had a 16GB in my S621, just brought home my new P4351 (Herald) and it works perfectly.
yes, 8GB (cheap) microsdhc is working (at least on my herald)
I'm waiting for my new pro2 and I'm planning to buy a 16Gb memory card for it...but I don't know which brand has the best reading/writing speed...
I mean...are there any "class 6" card?
It's better a Sandisk or a Kingston?
I found some sites that offer 16gb micro-sd class6
http://www.supermediastore.com/adata-turbo-series-16gb-class-6-micro-sdhc-with-adapter.html
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211378
Not sure if they will ship internationally. Hope this helps
yes im looking for the same , find plenty of 8 gig class 6 but struggling with the 16gig

Running fine with sandisk 16gb class 2.
Class 2 is enough for usb and internal memory from tpII
don't waste money in this case. You don't notice any difference at all.
I have a SanDisk 16gb class 4. This one is good enough. The compromise between speed and money

That appears to be a class 2 not a class 6, may be acceptable to many, but in the context of this thread it's not comparing "apples with apples". Having said that it's still a good price for a 16GB card.
Gordon
Class 2 is okay - The price is perfect
Class 4 is good - The price is good
Class 6 is perfect! - The price is horrible
--> Class 4 is the best tradeoff!
Just got a transcend class 6 16gb microsd for rp 640,000... thats approx equivalent to USD60. I can get a cheaper brand VGen for approx USD 50.. but then, for an extra USD10, you get a more reliable storage card with lifetime warranty....
at the end of the day, the reliability of the data being stored is the most important thing to consider... if the price doesnt differ much, then ALWAYS go for better quality one... this would be my rule of thumb when purchasing things usually... things have different prices for a reason, and usually its the quality...
as with speed, i dont think it matters a lot... a good indication is if you can watch movie with a class 2, then data transfer rate is good enough...
I went to a well known IT mall in Singapore today to get a micro SD card for my Rhodium.
Class 4 16 gb micro SD retails for 73 Singapore Dollars versus 26 singapore dollars for a 8gb micro SD Class 4. (Kingston)
I opted for a simple 8gb and wait for the prices to come down slowly. I don't think I will be using lots of space for making videos and photos. And if you want to view any videos, convert them to the screen resolution helps.
Just got a Transcend 16gb Micro SDHC Class 6 off a local store here.. to me the price at $123 is still ok.. oh well.. the price I pay for an early adopter... I can very much remember the time I pay $100+ for a 512mb full sized SD.. haha..

To some like me, I just want a bigger capacity and speed.. I already had the 8gb Micro SDHC class 6 like a year a ago. May be cheap now but I never regret get it then.. besides, I fill up these card pretty quick and they are not about Videos nor Audio files. Audio/Video I do it on a dedicated player.
I already fill up till I left 4gb on my Transcend 16gb Micros SDHC I got yesterday.

Hi for info I recently bought my TP2 memory card for £9.89 at
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8GB-CLASS-6-M...AsAccessoriesQ5fMemoryCardsQQsalenotsupported
Works a treat and noticably faster than my 4Gb class 4! It works perfectly with my TP2.
As a note my 4Gb class 4 drops off from the device occasionally, the 8Gb never!
Using the Class 4 card the TP2 struggles to play a 640 x 272 131kbps Video and 131kbps Audio 25fps 700Mb DIVX AVI movie, No problem with class 6 using TCPMP on the device.

hi!
is there any difference between 16GB class 2 Sandisk and 16GB class 2 Kingston?
I own a class 4 Sandisk 8GB and a class 4 Kingston 4GB and I don't notice much difference!
but I can buy a class 2 Kingston 16GB for about $52 and I was considering it (but it's a class 2...) or I can buy a class 4 Sandisk 16GB for about $75...
will I notice the difference (all I do is sometimes transfer mp3 or a movie to the card through Active Sync)... I don't use it as a Pen Drive or so...
I really need a new card since my 8GB is almost full!!! and I have to carry more than one!
BE AWARE
Don't buy transcend 16GB: they don't suppor power resume after sleep mode.
Example:
Create a windows media player music catalog placed on storage card
and activate random player.
Connect your htc headset and start listening music.
As soon as your device will go into standy/sleep mode with player running
on the next song the music will stop as your sdCard will disappear from system.
Modifying PnpUnloadDelay (and similar) doesnt help nor disabling sd-power-safe.
Tried 4 trasdendend with 3 different pro2: the same problem.
Bought a sandisk and resolved
So be aware!
Does the same count for Transcend 8GB Class 6 MicroSD's?
I can get one for 23 euros. The SanDisk costs 2 euros more for 8GB but Class 4.
Is 8GB enough for me anyways: navigation program, some photos, programs and videos. Because the SD's are getting bigger and bigger; I imagine that programs are too? Maybe 16GB would be a better investment then, or should I not seeing the use I make of it?
Got my TPII today so I am figuring it all out Thanks.
i want to buy a class 6 card in the uk, sems theres no 16gig here would settle for 2 X 8 gigs to hot swap one with movies on one with the rest of my stuff
any suggestions for good quality class 6 8 gigs in the uk
I bought a new kingston 16 gb micro sd.
Now the card says it is not bigger than 961 MB.
I have format the card twice fat and fat32 but it is still 961 MB..
What do I wrong, or is the card wrecked?
Thnx
If that happened to me, I'd take it back where I got it for a replacement.

If you got it on ebay there is a 95% chance you bought a fake 16GB micro SD card. I stay away from memory cards offered on ebay. Its a very good chance that it actually is a 1GB card made to report that it has 16GB when it doesn't. If you did get it on ebay hopefully ebay or paypal will be able to help you get your money back.
FAKE MicroSD was made in Kingston factory

Yeah, I just read about that today too, and remembered this thread...I'm guessing the problem is more widespread than just Kingston, and is the source of many of the SD card issues people are having...just like the one above (including the "ghost-source" cards found on e-bay).
Here's an article with a slightly shorter explaination of the same report in that link chompx2 posted above.
So can anyone suggest a good class 6 card? I don't want to get one that turns out to be a fraud. And as bad as that would be, it would be even worse if I got one that worked as advertised and then a couple months later dies and loses all of my data.
Any suggestions for a card that wil be reliable for the long term?
Try the A-DATA 16GB Micro SDHC Class 6. I just got mine from Newegg.com.
I swapped out my Sandisk 8GB Class 2. I noticed a big difference on speed. I got mine for $54.86 including tax. Shipping was free. Mine does not come with a SD adapter but I already have a couple of them. Newegg does have Micro SD cards with the adapters. Just search around. Hope this helps.

Was it from ebay? SD cards are one of the items that I've started just paying the small premium to get from a known-good vendor (i.e. newegg, etc), just because of how commonly they're counterfeited and find their way into "unofficial" sales channels like e-bay and so forth
In December 2009 I purchased 2x 16GB microSD cards from eBay China for my new HD2. They took 2 1/2 months to arrive and when I got them they both only showed as 1GB and the writing on the cards were flaking. I was so upset. I could have gotten an 8GB microSD locally for less than the price of one of those fake 16GB microSD cards. At the time I had the original HD2 2GB in my phone, so even the 2 fake cards were useless.
I tried the Paypal resolution process, and it did not work. I never got back the US$80 I spent. The seller has disappeared.
In 2008 I bought 16GB microSD cards from eBay UK when they first came out at US$110 each and those were real (one was lost in a car, the other sold several months ago), so this time I was looking for a deal. I lost big time on those fake cards.
I bit the bullet and bought a single 16GB microSD Class 6 (also from eBay but from Topram US) to hold out until the 32GB microSDs came out (and now until they get faster and the price gets cheaper).
Stick to 'reputable' sellers on eBay, do not make a purchase based only on the best price, or take the risk of not getting what you paid for.
Here is a good seller with a good deal
I bought a 16gb class6 card from this US seller a year ago. It has been a great card and I have had no problems whatsoever.
Here is a link to a Kodak (Lexar) 16gb Class 4 card for BIN $40.24 with free shipping.
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Lexar-Media...-/400143735721?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal
I very recently bought a 32GB microSD on ebay from a HK seller grandtechdigital.
The card was a fake. It does have a capacity somewhere around 8-16GB, though. I only ended up paying $31 US for the card, and the seller gave me a refund since it was not 32GB.
The trick with Ebay is to make sure you file your dispute in time if you are getting jerked around. If you wait too long, then you have no recourse. I could be wrong, but I think you only have 60 days.
Good Luck!
Does anyone know how to fix the bad card I have? I know that it needs to be reprogrammed to show the actual capacity. Right now, it looses files when I try to copy too much data to it.
Found another even better deal!!
Check out this one!! 16GB Topram Class 6!!

what class of card runs the various android builds quicker with touch hd memory card reader
1. class 2
2. class 4
3. class 6
just looking a definitive answer so android users please vote and post make or were bought, date bought
thx everyone
the higher the class the faster the card...
i.e. a class 6 has a guaranteed transfer speed of 6 mb/s, while a class 2 has only 2 mb/s
or i dont get ur actual question...
I'm looking to upgrade to a 16gb card. Does it matter what brand or anything? I see tons of different cards on ebay.

well if you have the money don't buy one from ebay look on play.com or somewhere as the ebay ones are probably no where near as reliable, i have always bought of ebay personally and never noticed any issues but i know they are cheapo ones so will probably not last very long, and don't always hold the full 8gb
Read speeds!!
if im right class refers to write speed 2mb 4mb 6mb
surely the read speed is more important for running android via sd on card reader of touch hd
what is the microsd card reader hardware spec of the touch hd, if anyone knows
i managed to buy a class 10 16gb kingston microsdhc on amazon £34, whether it arrives as class 10 is a different story tho.
I purchased a Kingston 32 gb class 6 micro sd card for my phone. I began to copy over the contents of my current card, but im at work and had to step out. I told a coworker that if they also had to leave to please just close the screen of my netbook so that its contents would be secure, hoping that it would have finished copying. It was not finished and the screen was closed putting the netbook into standby. When I returned and turned the comp back on the copy progress screen was blank and just all white as was the window depicting the contents of the card. I had to restart the computer as after 15 min nothing had changed. Now the card is not recognized. I checked it in my phone and computer and it says no disk is present. I put it in the sd adapter and try to format and my computer says there is no disk. I am at a loss?? I just got this freakin card and for a great deal that ill never find again especially for a class 6! Does any one have any ideas for me to try?? I know that its not entirely related to X10's but I can't seem to find any other avenues for help. I would like to not right this card off
Any help is sincerely appreciated
Did ya get it off ebay by any chance? Didn't think class 6 32 gb cards existed yet. I've had 2 off ebay (class not stated) and they both turned out to b hacked 2 gb 1s, they were both "good deals" a bit too good! Got a refund for em both so got 2 2gb cards for free
If it was from ebay at a great deal price... you're screwed... bought one myself only to find out it was a dupe... never got my money back

Transcend , Sandisk makes one, Nokia has one, not sure who makes it. I have had this problem before.. you have to low level format it and it will be fine. any questions just ask.
I am thinking of getting a 32 gb class 6 from ebay as well. Hope I have better luck
I bought one from ebay a couple weeks ago for like 13 dollars and it arrived today. Just popped it in the phone and its saying 31.24 gb.
It's a kingston card. I'll try copying some stuff over and see how it goes.
EDIT. Copying my 11 gb of music over writing at 3.5 MB/s
Class was not stated when I bought mine. I just figured for 13 bucks i'll take the chance.

the estimated price is around 110 dollars.
If you buy a card for 20 bucks at ebay you realy wonder why its a fake?
lets hope the price will fall fast
im gonna buy mine in a store not at ebay. Quality->Price
I think there is no support on the x10 for 32gb sd card yet. You also need an opptinal uppdate from windows update to read 32gb cards. And remeber its not sd carts you need to use its micro sdhc cards ;-)

FWIW, I have a Kingston class 4 32GB, it also works fine on 1.6 I have 5,000 songs with album art on it as well as things like the language modules from Swiftkey, etc and still have 2gb free.
I have had a 32gb micro sd sandisk for about 3 months now, no problems to report (UK) purchased online from Carphone Warehouse. Only issue is whereas android shows roughly 3gb storage free, when using mediascape to transfer music, it only shows 120mb of storage remaining - bummer

THERE ARE NO TRUE CLASS 6 32G micro SDHC cards.
And as a caution, here's a FAKE card marked Class 6 (and confirmed as fake by Kingston USA). I was lucky and got my money back when the seller was confronted (and is still selling these on eBay). The photo below is a FAKE card. Kingston's 32G is a class 4. Lexar's 32G is a class 10. The Lexar IS faster writing at 8-10mb while the Kingston writes at about 4mb; I have both Kingston and Lexar 32G.
NewEgg is a licensed reseller, you can get a nice 32GB card under $100 with a USB flash reader for it such as Kingston's MRG2+SDC4/32GB. I keep the usb reader on my keychain. You need a reader because these cards are NOT compatible with most older slot readers even when you put them in an adaptor for SD or M-Stick.
NEVER FORMAT IN WINDOWS!!!!! You may ruin the card's usefulness forever.
Windows will add cryptographic junk which is NOT compatible with Android. If you MUST format in windows go to the SD Consortium and get their format software http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
