topram and bricking - G1 Accessories

well looking to breath some new life into my g1 and i was wondering if anyone has tried topram cards? also how are the slim hi cap batteries working out? from i have read it looks like if want longer life the only choice is to brick it (but not with the danger spl lol)whats the beast fat battery for under 30. oh and here is the link for for the top ram i was looking at http://www.buy.com/prod/topram-8gb-...o/q/listingid/61407356/loc/101/213267620.html

i'm sorry im of no use on this issue, but i did see some cheap fat batt's from HK on ebay. i've been hesitant in purchasing one and would also like to know what people recommend for under $30.
aka i'm commenting to bookmark this thread

I use a TomRam SD Card and it's amazing. Never once had a problem with it and always keeps up to par. (It's a Class 6.)

im going to buy this on your recommendation if it sux im going to hunt u down ask for my 20 bucks back.lol jk thanks for the tip but for real im going give it a try

That's my exact card in OP.

I bought a extended battery from amazon (accessoryone I think) for $16 something a few weeks ago. With shipping it was under $27. The increased physical size was noticable, but not uncomfortable.
Performance is AMAZING. I leave everything running (data sync, 100% backlight, everything) and still have half a battery after an 8 hour shift of text and web browsing.
No clue on the sdcard, but now I know what I want next.

well just bought it and i wanted white. and it was 27 with shipping not bad going to get the card latter i need the battery more

Wasn't meaning to sound condescending. Good buy, either way.
Are the topram better than the seemingly standard sandisk cards?

Ah, I can't use an extended battery because I have to clip my phone on my belt. I am NOT putting it in my pocket. Would also probably even up leaving it in my car - that's a no-no. Especially in deep south Alabama.
However, I say either way - go ebay. It's pretty much always cheap and most sellers for things like that offer free shipping.
As for it measuring up - well, I can't really say. It's done me good. Class 6 and it averages at... I would say 5.4mb transfer speed (to be safe) on Windows 7. Swap partitioned since say i got it and swap partition is still running smooth and hasn't died out yet. What more do I need from it?

naw you didn't come off condescending. and i have a four gig scan disk class 6 in my g1 right now and paid almost 40 bucks for it about a year ago when i get my in week in a week or two ill run some test and see what i get.

well i got my battery and its awesome!!! it didn't make it that much thicker either. when i get the card ill post some speed test

in case any wanted to know i seem to get about .10 mbs per seconds faster speed from a scan disk verse the top ram for the price difference get the topram.

I don't know what planet you're living on, but it took manufacturers nearly a year from the time they started rolling out 8GB microSDs to start producing 16GB microSDs. So more than likely, you will start seeing 32GB microSDs at the end of 2009 and as late as 2010 for bigger retail chains (like BestBuy).
Not to mention the fact that because of this ridiculously long interim period, I've actually had just about every capacity of card, 16MB (CF), 32MB (CF), 256MB (CF), 1GB (SD), 2GB (miniSD), 4GB (miniSD), 8GB (microSD), and soon the 16GB (microSD), because I can't bear waiting for the 32GB.
So assuming something like this was used:
http://aptolink.com/product_info.php?products_id=41&osCsid=44e3d010e4effdff2f210c8dfa98d1f1
Wouldent there still be something sticking out of the device on the other side?
I guess I always though that if something like this was that easy to do, third pary manufactures would be offering up adapters / back plates
http://asukal.net/blog/?p=284
this looks like something that could have been used... just take it out of the casing.. i'd be interested in this if there was an extended battery cover.

I don't know about easy, but Craves1 over at Internet Tablet Talk designed a SD->MiniSD adapter / back plate combo for the ITT and had them made, so I am thinking it is probably more of a lack of will or companies thinking there is no market?

64 gb Micro SD... can't be the real price...

Deleted!!! Ebay pulled the item- kicked the seller out.
Well let me know whats up because if its real I'll get one asap.
Same here. Worst case, we are out 35 bucks.
yeah, let us know if they are in fact real. I think its too good to be true, but I guess you'll find out.
No Waiiiiiiii! I just paid $35 for my 32gb Pny!

I do as well, but hell, if I am out 35 bucks I'll just do a chargeback or some such, or just eat the cost. It shows I should expect delivery between the 15th and 28th of March, so we shall see.
My gut feeling says it's counterfeit...but the fact the seller is charging such a low price for it makes it easier to 'take the hit' if it is in fact counterfeit.
It's mainly the fact that it's coming from China...and how they're notorious for selling fake memory cards and other merchandise. On top of that, that particular eBay seller doesn't have much total feedback, compared to other China eBayers who typically have many thousands.
Even though the shipment time interval seems to be between 3-5 weeks, who knows...you might end up receiving it much earlier (like in half that estimated time frame).
Keep us posted when you receive the goods.
I thought SD maxes out at 32gb. Anything larger will be SDXC. Does the note even support SDXC?
I also remember reading that counterfeiters will sell fake flash memory that reports itself as the correct size but is programmed to overwrite itself once it goes over the actual physical amount of space on the card. For example you bought a 64gb card and it's really only 16b once you load up over 16bg it will start overwriting itself.
He's also got a 32 GB card for $14
Too good to be true... either stolen or counterfeit is my guess. But for those who are getting it and gets it to work, Grats!

[Heads Up] 32Gig Class 4 Sandisk Micro SD $20

Pretty good deal, 32Gig class 4 sandisk for only $20
http://mobile.dailysteals.com/
That's a great deal! But don't we want a faster class (like 10)?
This is a matter of debate that can be argued from many angles, most commonly Cache Vs Class. There has been lots of debating on XDA and other forums about how android functions and little to no advantage is seen. I'd really prefer this didn't turn into a debate yet again as there is plenty of places that this be read up on. I run this exact card in 3 nook colors and 4 Android phones currently in my house. never had any hickup in video playback yet.

I wasn't gonna get into the tit for tat about speed.
But I have a legit question, how's about recording 720p? Seeing the Note is capable of it.
I usually have Class 2, that have worked very well in most of my phone/tablet devices. I rarely if ever record any video that would require any type of "high" resolution, yet.
As for playback, I've not had any issue with even the Class 2 SanDisk... YMMV with other "brands" and/or counterfeits..

I bought his same exact card about 6 months ago for $35. DISREGARD the "class 4" rumors and whatnot. My music and videos play at such an amazing rate you'd assume the card is an expensive high class etc etc. The only notable difference is when your copying your music/videos to the card from your computer. So what..wait acouple of hours for 4000 songs to get copied! I did and for the price how could you say no?

absolutely, for me they have far and away been the most consistantly fast cards. You just have to be careful, there are lots of fakes and knockoffs out there that look identical, especially on ebay. Beware anything anyone selling them without OEM packaging. I have fallen for the "these were returns, so we're selling them cheaper since they are out of package" If it's not in Sandisk authenticate packaging, I won't touch it. The 32Gb I bought at walmart a few months ago cost me $50, and that was a decent deal then.
Sorry. I didn't mean to derail the topic. I use the camera a lot for 1080P video, which uses large files and needs a fast write speed. For me, the class 6 or 10 might be better. But after reading the threads you linked to, it does seem that the Sandisk class 4 would be the best all-rounder for most people. Thanks again for the thread. I may order one and give it try anyway. I'll let you know.

I believe when recording it saves locally then once stopped it goes to perm storage, this used to be the way it was, may or may not have changed but would make sense to keep this this way.
I keep a card or two on hand loaded with movies and TV shows for when I travel or know I'll be sitting bored for awhile just incase the 32 I have installed doesn't have enough entertainment. For $20, you can't lose.
By save locally, you mean save/cache/buffer on phone then to external storage if so configured?
I doubt it would do that, as the phone's internal memory is write limited by the same limits as an SD card, correct?

Def a good deal. Compare to $80 64 Class 6 card i just bought.
I like to post a good deal and LIKE to see how ppl react. Some appropriated because they just got a good deal, some will be *****y this and that because they are not free??, ... . People will never be satisfied.
Suggest to others: if you don't like it just because of ANY REASONS, swallow it then move on to the next thread. It may not be useful for you but will be useful for some others.

I'm not real sure to be honest man, it's mostly theory because in the past on slower android phones, after I finished recording it would take a few seconds as it "saved" anything more then a few moments of video. I contributed this to holding locally then transferring to external afterwards. In my head, doing it this way would eliminate any pauses in recording caused by what I would imagine would be slower read/write speeds as the primary partition access is faster then the external SD. We would need a dev/programmer with knowledge of these things to confirm/bust this theory. But anyways, back on track, great deal for a big card.
other sites I check daily for these deals is Woot.com and Tanga.com
Tanga is especially known for funny tshirts for dirt cheap. They both have a few deals per day. Sometimes amazing sometimes less than.

It's a sound theory to me, though I don't 100% agree it does make a lot of sense. Personally I'd chalk it up to having an older phone, I do know what you're talking about my G1 did the exact same thing.
As for speed differences between different classes of SD cards, though it is hotly debated, I've personally did a little seat of the pants bench marking between my class 2, 4, 6 and 10 and in the end my class 10 was only 2 or 3 seconds faster on multiple smaller file transfers, when it came to one large file (such as what you'd expect from a 720p video) the difference was negligible.
As for the main post, it's one heck of a deal. if i hadn't already bought a class 10 i'd jump on this. Heck, I own a tablet, I might still order one.
Also if you want to check out daily deals, check out dodtracker.com. it's a collection of deal sites. its not very pretty, but it does get the job done.

Wow, you wern't joking that is ugly. Once I figure out how to navagate it I'm sure it'll be useful. As for my theory, ohwell, it's just a shot in the dark. If anyone's thinking about this card, act now before it's too late, there will be a new deal tomorrow.

Poll: 16GB, 32GB, or wait for something better later?

I'm tempted to buy the 16GB...but really prefering the one with cellular on it.
I think I maybe doing a lot of recording. Some told me not to get the 16GB since there is no ext SD on this so I must get 32GB. I don't know a $100 more for 16GB?
I wonder if we can get by the lack of space issue just by using Google Drive, Dropbox and Microsoft Skydrive on the 16GB?
Which version are you going to get?
16GB, 32GB, wait for something more later?
PS:
Are apps on tablet much bigger size than phone version? Or they are the same exact size?
What are some of you guys reasons for needing the 32GB?
16GB. I used to have a 8GB Nexus 7, which worked fine up until Google's mass 5-day sale a little while back. I only have enough money currently for a 16GB Nexus 10, and I think 16GB should do fine. Chances are I'll end up wiping the tablet before I even use the full storage anyway

Nexus 7 only has 1.9MB camera...so that maybe why you don't fill it much? I think once we have Front and Back camera recording at 1080p, I'm worry 16GB may fill up fast for me
I ordered the 16GB... the 32 isn't worth the extra $100 considering I can use my portable 1TB hard drive ($79) and an OTG cable ($3) and get a better deal. Is 4G really necessary? Most of use already have 4G phones and chances are that since you're on these forums you're rooted and have the ability to tether for free.
Here's the hard drive I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136996
You don't need external power to use it... It's like a bigger thumb drive which at 2.5" isn't very big at all.

Whenever I tether via CM10 Android AP, it drained phone battery fast. By the time I get to the final destination, phone already low on batt and can barely use phone for anything else. So I was thinking had I have a tablet that has cellular, I can just swap in the sim to the tablet to handle gps navigation while on trip and when I get near the place, i just put the sim back in to the phone so I can use it right away without low battery issue.

I may be wrong, but i believe the only time your maps would need an internet connection is when you're first creating the route and if you need to reroute. So you could just tether until you have your route made on your tablet and then turn it off. Maps should preload everything needed. Couldn't you just plug in the phone?

Thanks for the tip. I think I will ordered the 16GB as your solution would work for my concern on diskspace and battery draining.
I'm going to enable Google Maps Offline feature on there and download all the maps it allowed me. I'll put Sygic on there as backup to handle situation where Google maps is not available in Yellowstone Park deadspot area.

Not sure why you'd need live GPS in Yellowstone, it's really hard to get lost there on pavement.
16$ more is not worth 100$ at all. I can live with 16Gb and the dongly USB OTG...
Dang 16GB already sold out. I should have grab it this morning.
Update: Stock is available again...so just got it a few min ago

What's worse is that it's actually more than $100 if you consider higher tax.

That was just one of the location where I"m going...but along the way, I'll be going across several places where they might have bad traffic and possible detour where I need the live traffic and to showoff the iPad person in the car.
Ordered Both

I ordered a 16GB from Google Store yesterday although I wanted a 32GB. I found the pre order sale at Staples and ordered a 32GB from them this morning. I know it won't arrive until Christmas. I was thinking of returning the 16GB within its return period but Google will refund only to Google Wallet account and I don't know if I can ever use the balance in Google wallet. I guess I screwed myself. Anyone in my situation???
I would rather have the built-in memory. I got the 32GB model ... I wish they offered a 64GB.
I look at it like this , loading your drive to the hilt is murder on ya memory. 16gig seems good to me !!!

My 16 GB came in yesterday, yea 32 would've been nice but for $100 I don't need it. My S3 has all the music I need on it and I've got no problems moving videos back and forth if I need em.
$100 at this point really is steep for me, for something I really have no need of..16gb is already a luxury for me. I do prefer the 32gb that's for sure but I don't think I can justify it. I may just wait till the price drops. I am not even sure if ill like the bigger model. I love the 7 because of its size. Its perfect.

Yea, I prefer 32GB too until someone suggested the OTG cable as mitigation to me plus I'm not sure I need the full size either. I can't wait for another 4 months to see some new stuff at CES 2013 and this poll shows there are many 16GB users so I don't feel so bad and join the bandwagon to buy the 16GB. Even though the 32GB was sold out first, but this poll shows there are more 16GB users...so maybe Google had fewer 32GB in inventories than 16GB to start with. The 32GB ppl will probably have to wait a little longer?

Question Virtual ram?

Heyall
I was wondering if this phone got the virtual ram option, so you can have for example 8+8= 16.
I know some oppos have it, also if it dosnt have it, is there any app that does it? I remember there was some app that have done it on samsung if i remember well.
Ty!
Virtual ram is dog slow... get the real thing.

It will work fine until the ram gets loaded up.
Virtual ram doesn't have near the bandwidth needed and cuts into the internal memory bandwidth, a double whammy. With scoped storage already stealing cpu cycles you don't want anything else slowing it down.
Go with 12gb or more and be happy. The battery consumption is minimal. This ancient Note 10+ is a beast; large ram counts and helps increase the longevity of the device. A N10+ will eat the S22U 8gb alive once the ram get loaded up.
To answer your question, yes the Find N has it. It is called "RAM Expansion"
Once enabled you have 3, 5 and 7GB options (at least on the 12/512 variant anyway)

EU and you?
That's a shame. Australia. I would still be happy to ship it, I'm just not sure how much the charges would be that's all
How much were you looking at spending on an 8/256?
