Anyone using the 16gb sd card? Are they worth it? Any problems with crashing? Amazon are selling Sandisk ones for £39.24, seems to be a good buy
I am using it a while (sandisk 16gb micro SDHC) but almost full (navigation maps, movies and music)
No problems with crashing.
I'm not using a 16gb but I'm using an 8gb card. It has to be the best thing I've bought for my Touch PRO yet. I have (most of) my music, (a few) movies, and TomTom all on one card.
A 16gb card would be a great investment though.
Just been looking at them myself, my only concern is the class they are, i heard and correct me if i am wrong you need a class 4-6 card for music and so on, due to the speed it runs at, and most 16gb ones i found are class 2.
I'm using Kingston 16GB Class 2. No problem.
Hi,
I also have a 8GB card but thinking of buying a 16gb card...my question is the apps I have installed.
Im not sure which apps I have installed on my card and which apps are stored on the HD's internal memory.
Would i simply copy the contents from the 8GB card to the 16GB card?

The 8gb that comes with the HD is only class 2.
I have a SanDisk 16gb class 2 and it works fine for all videos I encode with HD Encoder, and MP3 up to 320kbps that I have used.
Yes, it's a little slower copying files onto, but no big deal really.
i would really love to know what does the classes mean? will i see lot of improvements while going higher?
The classes of SD card are the minimum write speeds that the card will maintain. Basically comes down to 2MB/s, 4MB/s and 6MB/s. There are some details specified for how to measure this, but they aren't of much concern to the user.
The maximum read speed of the card may be different (likely). Both read and write speed will also depend on the device.
In short, you will notice the faster write speeds if you transfer music or films. I haven't noticed any problems when watching videos using my class 2 card, but can see the difference when copying from my PC to the cards.
thanks a lot for the information Taxythingy
Is there a massive difference between class 6 and class 2 while using the Touch HD? Or is the difference when you actually connect to the PC and transfer off and on?

That i did not know, i always used my class 6 due to not knowing for sure if it would cause issues or not. (Had the 8 gig on my hermes).
I guess then if HTC themselves issue a class 2 then looks like i am wrong then, and maybe worth doing the upgrade myself.

I used a free program to create an image of my 8gb card before I switched to a 16gb. You can get it here: http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm
All my programs worked fine and my phone never knew I switch to the 16gb.
I am using a 16GB Sandisk with no problems.
Works just fine.
Copying speed to the disk is OK for me.
I am using a 16gb Sandisk with absolutely no problems. I watch movies; listen to music/audio books run large maps for GPS etc. In fact, if an application will install on the SD card I do so. I do not see any lag or delays whatsoever. The only thing is I am running out of space I need to upgrade to a 32gb when they become available
didn't know it's possible to insert 16gb card to the blackstone.
thought it's not supported, but glad to know i was wrong.
so.. i've already ordered a 16gb sd card, but i would like to transfer all the files
currently on my 8gb card to the new one. can i do that without any problems?
just copy&paste all the files from one card to another?
I've been using a Nokia 16Gb cars for a while now, and no problems. It's a class 2 card and I haven't noticed any difference in the behaviour of the device since I put it in.

I think the best method is to copy the contents of your current microSD to a new directory on your PC hard drive then copy all of the files from the new directory over to the new SD card. It doesn't hurt to make a backup of your SD from time to time.
sorry for taking a slight detour, but doesn anyone know when/if the 32gb cards are coming out? i've been holding off the 16gb and waiting for the 32gb one and i'm getting impatient
Hello!
Can anyone confirm that Nokia 16gb micro sdhc is works properly in HD or not?
Thx in advanced!
Hi
I bought a 4gig MicroSD and would like to know the steps to update the SD please
Update?
All you need to do is take off the back, pull out the old card, and plug in the new one.
If you want to keep the contents of the old card, just drag the contents to your PC first, then swap the card, and copy the contents back.
update = install a bigger one
tx
take the old out
put the new in =D
thats all you need to do
Now that the mini has been updated to 2.1, are 32 Gig cards supported?
Some initial information was added to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Xperia_X10_Mini_MicroSD_Cards
You should turn off the phone OR unmount the SDCard before remove it.
TX .. I thought there was some wierd partitioning and formatting and so.
tx to all the help

i hope not because i just bought 16gb class 4 from ebay for £14 ( around $28 )
Ill have to give this to my girlfriend if it does coz i need the biggest possible
Seems like you will have to go shopping again. At least for the X10 the 16Gig limit is replaced with a 32Gig limit. At least if I can believe this page:
h t t p : //gadgets.apnafundaz.com/20 10/09/xperia-x10-whi tepaper-revision-6-for-andr oid-2-1-eclair-no-16m-color-adobe-flash-mu lti-touch-and-more/
Though the link is a bit old. So I was hoping that maybe somebody here had already tried this. As I would rather spend my money on a 32 Gig card then buy a 16 Gig card and hear that I could have got double that.. ;-)
Didn't you guys get the fancy card reader with your E10s/U20s?
I bought my E10i on the launching day and in the box was that USB MicroSD-card reader.
Using it is easy to put your contents of your old MicroSD to a folder on your computer. Either temporary (to move it to the new mSD) or as back-up.
Don't remember it's SE name (have mislayed it as I used the reader and 2GB card that came with X10Mini, for installing Ubuntu on a EeePC 701)
Well.. I didn't get a micro SD reader with my kit in Germany..(I had a couple laying around which I was using but they have both died.. I don't know how a reader seems to just keel over and die.. seems something strange happened on an eject in Linux and now they are dead... tried all sorts of things to resurect them. (Linux detects them.. windows too but the reader doesn't detect any micro SD cards I throw at it.... oh well.
on a brighter note.. I just found an A-Data 16GB Class 10 card for under 30 Euro's its at Jacob Elektronics (there is another 7Euro for sending but still a cheap Class 10 card (if it's a real A-Data Class 10 card, my experience of the A-Data brand has been pretty good.. its a reputable brand and the website/shop seems legit.)
I am convinced it will not be any faster than a class 2 card for general use but the transfers between phone and PC will be super quick and for the price.. why not go for the fastest available?
I will let you all know how it turns out.. if it arrives.

I think the A-Data cards will be fine.
Got a full size A-Data SDHC in my camera 8GB class 6.
just a simple swap with phone switched off.
When I upgraded my contract phone to the mini pro, it was bundled with a 2gb card. I told the operator I'd seen a similar deal on a different network only they were shipping with an 8gb card, not a 2gb.
For my cheek, my phone arrived with an 8gb free of charge
You don't ask, you don't get
and also a spare sd card reader too! (now I have 5 )
Well after waiting over a week for the damn Adata 16GB Class 10 card to turn up I finally got hold of the company who said.. " it may be another 3 weeks because of a supply issue" funny as they said they were in stock when I ordered it.
anyway.. I canceled my order (as I am moving back to New Zealand in 2 weeks) and just bought a Sandisk 16GB Class 4 from Conrad electronics for 36 Euro.. meh.. at least its Sandisk so I trust it not to die after a few weeks use..

Good news. Earlier there was some thread in this forum stating that 32 GB doesn't work in Mini - probably while it was on Android 1.6. How is the access speed ? Is it satisfactory?
ye i wanne update to 32GB too, but thinkin about class2 or class3, so any infos here?

I've looked around for 32Gb card, and the only I found where class 2. I'm sure that cards of higher class will be become available, but at the moment I know of none.
im using 16gb class 2.. all apps on there.. working good to me
I opened up the back but I didn't see any indicator of the class.
I think its a class 6. I gave mine away and replaced it with a bigger one, but I remember matching the class, and the one I have currently is a class 6.
its not like your doing apps2sd... why does the sd card class matter?
What matters is the speed that it reads the data, writes new data, does your media scanning when you boot up, and plays the files that you store there.
I believe it comes with a class 2 card. Most smartphones only come with a class 2 since they cost less.
Im also wondering wihch class sd card is good for vibrant. Of course I would want the possible fastest one.
Having said that, I just found a deal on micro sdcard and was wondering if this is the one compatible with vibrant. Here is the LINK
Would you guys recommend it?
Thanks.

Well, it seems that the Vibrant comes with a Class 6 16GB SD Card, so it wouldn't make sense to use a Class 4 8GB
I don't know if it's compatible with other Classes.

Where to begin.....
The Vibrant comes out of the box with 16 GB of available storage. You have the internal, which is mounted to the system board, and gives you the phones partitions as well as your 14 GB partition for your data. Then, there is the replaceable external sd card, which is only 2GB in size, and as Dr. B pointed out, and to my own error, it is a class 2 micro sd card. That is the one the OP is referring to.

Here another 16GB SD card user.
For me its perfect, I have no feeling that it slow down or something
i got a new 16GB SDHC card couple of weeks ago, but since then my phone sometimes restarted itself, and some apps is running very bad, particularly Waze (it's a GPS programm). I tried to format the card with the PC and phone also, but still same results. I had a 2GB card, and had no any problem it all...
Any ideas what may be the problem?
Thank you in advance
I'm using 16 GB card, and my phone is speed. It's no slowest xD

Problem with SanDisk 16GB microSDHC
I also already had a 16 GB SanDisk, I bought it on amazon. I'm still trying to return it, my phone restarts every time I try to format it.
i tryed a sandisk 16gb too but restarts alwasy
after buying a new one from kingston class 4 it works perfectly
sry for bad english
I have A-data 16GB sdhc 10 class and when i copy my files and i extract from the pc my phone don't recognize my memory and when i insert one more time and say my pc that the memory don't have format and i have to format one more time. Someone can i help me?
try formatting the block size to 32KB
An sd card does not need to be formated only hdd do... What couldve hapend is that your boot sector got screwed up. Try putting your sd card in an card reader and connect it to the pc. On windows 7 go to start type cmd and hit enter. Then type: chkdsk /X /F /A:, where A: is your card reader. Hit enter and wait. I revived a couple SD Card by this method. Without losing any data!
***Ignore this***
Edited for clarity.
I have a Class4 16 gb card. Worked well so far.
Guys - Can we lose the personal criticism here - this thread is bang on the money with a problem I'm really struggling with and I'd hate for the thread just to become a shouting match.
My daughters x10 Mini Pro (running latest paul-xxx version of CM7) is just refusing to play nicely with a Sandisk 8Gig Class 4 SDHC which has prviously worked perfectly in a Samsung Genio.
On the 8 Gig card music jumps between tracks as you are listening , apps moved to SD Card refuse to run, photos save OK and will open once in Gallery but then the jpgs get corrupted and cannot be reopened on the phone or when transfered to a PC.... and to crown it all I get random reboots/freezes.
If I drop back to an old Kingston 2 Gig Micro-SD (ie non-SDHC) everything on the phone works fine and yet when I format the 8Gig card on my PC, there are never any errors and I can then copy files on and off the card (via the card reader in the PC) multiple times with no issues.
Is this just a somewhat more extreme example of other peoples experiences or would you suspect my micro SD is b*ggered?
I suspect that this "quality" Sony phone is just so sensitive to SDHC cards that I need to get one which others can confirm works reliably and stick to it.
For now my daughter is content to run with the 2 Gig card and have a stable, working phone but obviously she'd like to carry more than a dozen Albums and Apps at any time.
Any advice?
FYI... Sandisk is now selling an "Ultra" 64gb SDXC (micro SD) card that is rated Class 10 and is UHS 1. The "Ultra" tag refers to their class of cards that have 30MB/second read speed (unk. what the write speed is). Sandisk also has an "Extreme Pro" class of cards that have 95MB/second read speed, but the largest "Extreme Pro" in micro SDXC is currently 16gb. If you shop hard, you can find the 64gb "Ultra" SDXC card for less than $60 currently.
It's been previously reported that Razr supports SDXC cards, including 64gb (see this thread).
For anyone who might buy one, a word of caution. Put it in your Razr and format it there first before trying to use it on your PC. I'm not sure whether I received a defective card, or I somehow ruined my card by trying to format it to FAT32 on a Windows machine (using Paragon Partition Manager). I spent hours screwing with it before giving up and returning it to the seller.
I have the same 32gb version in my razr right now and it runs great. I assume the 64gb one wouldn't be any different.
Got mine for $23 on Amazon. Couldn't pass it up for that price.

I just picked up one of these as well. Quick question, I have the option to use either a internal SD card slot (Macbook pro) or a USB adapter (MicroSD --> USB dongle). Which one will provide faster transfer rates?
I would love one of these. Just too much for me right now.

It depends...
Is your USB adapter USB 2.0?
I typically use the SD Card slot with the adapter provided with the micro SD card.
USB for transfer unless you have a good adapter can be slower.
I use one 32gb class 10, works fine.

Have you tried a HD 1080p recording on your 32gb class 10 card ? , if yes - did you find any difference when you tried the same recording on a class 4 ( assuming 30 fps and standard cache)?
Got my one for a few weeks, phone has never been so slow.
Not faulty (tested the card multiple times) - anyone else having issues? I feel like I have a Galaxy S1. Just weird behaviour - Swype takes forever for k/b to appear, winamp takes forever for thumbnails for albums to appear - just apalling performance from my phone.

I couldn't mount it or format it. My RAZR kept saying it was damaged. So, I formatted it in my PC first and all is well.
If you're under Windows XP, you'll need to have a program to do this. I used EaseUS Partition Master which you can get for free at http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html.
So far, the card works great and it's nice to have more room for DLC and songs.
I own this card.
It was a pain in the ass to format, but once I formatted it a few times, it worked great.
64gb picked up for like 70$ shipped from ebay. All my Community, Walking Dead and music and SO much more. Couldnt be happier

You can simply put it in the phone. No need to do anything beforehand. If it requires you to format, the phone will tell you to do so.
I've given up completely on trying to get this to work in my phone. The phone will recognize it as 64GB, but will freeze up on numerous occasions even if I'm not accessing it. Does no one else have the freezing issue? Running Flick 5.0 Tornado
So what's the concensus on this "extreme" cards' performance while in the phone? Are backups faster? Transferring files to/from a dekstop while connected via USB faster?
