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!
Did anyone tried Micro SDHC 32GB card with X10 after 2.1 Eclare Update?
I asked Sony Ericsson support about 32GB SD card support after 2.1 but they did not give me a satisfactory answer and according to them only 16GB SD card works on X10.

are you using the kingston 32gb class 4?
I bought (on my own risk) a micro SD HC-4 32 Gb Kingston one month ago (on 1.6 Donut) Now i have Eclair 2.1 on my Xperia X10 and the SD card 32 Gb works well.
I haven't any problems during this time.

the class reprezents the speed of your memory card
I bought a 32GB Kingston Class 4 and it keeps unmounting itself and overall lose contact with the phone but it works perfect in he PC.
I have done a 32GB filer verification so it's not a counterfeit 8GB in a 32GB disguise.
But I keep having trouble with it once it's in the phone.
It's a HTC Legend with BlaYo ROM
I have exactly the same micro SDHC (32 CB class4 Kingston) in a XPERIA X10 and it functions perfect. Try format with MiniToolPartitionWizard under Windows. Success!
I'm using a 16GB Class 10. Transferring songs are plainly drag and drop.
If you opt for speed over capacity, go for 16GB C10 instead. I'm using the Transcend one at 14MB/s writing speed. (priced at 33USD)
Well uh, why do you need 32GB for a phone?
what a question ))
why do you need 16GB?

Sorry for going offtopic, but I don't want to start a new thread, I was thinking of buying a Transcend 16gb class 10 card.
Does anyone have any personal experience with this card? I've never tried them so am wanting some personal reviews/opinions. Anyone had problems with transcend?

I'm using one Transcend 16gb class 10 card, i can tell some things:
On the usb adapter it can WRITE at up to 16~20MB on linear writing and READ up to 22~25MB on linear reading.
This cards rocks, i had a sandisk 8gb class 6 mSD and will never regret this change.
This time i can get real HD recordings as before i would sometimes give me some small breaks when recording if for some reason anything tried to access the card at the same time.
By the way most class 6 cards record actually between 4~6MB!

Hi baller,
I also have a 64gb sandisk ultra I am running, when you format the card, you need to use fat32 with a 16kb cluster size. I you just have the one partition you will end up with approx 59gb of space. I used MiniTool Partiton, free for home use. Anyway, that was my first setup, now I have a 28gb fat32 partiton and a 31gb ext4 partition. I am running the mod from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803252 on blackbean 3 with the modified boot.blob from YoMark. If you try this out, and download and of the modified boot.blob files, make sure when you insert them into the rom that you change the name to be boot.blob. Each one is specific to a certain rom so don't try to mix and match... class 10 card works the best for this but I think some people have used class 6 also... depends on the brand of card mostly...
Link2SD is the app i've been using since gingerbread up until jellybean. works like a charm. it's free, too!
I keep reading about i717 users installing 64GB memory cards into their phones i thought that the i717 would only support a 32GB card...someone please give me some definite info
i717 UCLF6+FJmod B4
64gb cards work fine from GB on up. In theory it would support even larger cards but a 129gb card would be too expensive for me when they first come out.
I installed a sandisk class 6 64gb card in my Note. It works flawlessly. Got it off Amazon Prime for $55 with free 2day shipping. This is what I did:
moved contents of 32gb card to desktop computer's hd
powered off
removed battery
removed 32gb card
inserted 64gb card
replaced battery
powered on
let the card format itself
moved contents of 32gb card from computer to new 64gb card
enjoy new roomier storage capacity
+1 I use the SanDisk 64GB card as well. No issues. I also formatted in the phone.
I also use a 64gb card with no problem.
What do you need a 64 for?
That is a **** load of memory for a phone haha. I mean I understand, I am trying to fill up my 32, I have like 7 left. I would have had less if my songs had not gotten all erased. But, I did have alot of adult stuff cause my ex loved watching that stuff on my phone haha, plus I loved to show it to my home girls, turned them hot like a kettle over an open flame But yes it works just gotta format it, checkout videos on youtube on how to do it if you have any trouble. Good luck brotha!
I had a lot of trouble with my 64 GB Sandisk. The phone (at the time a Flapjaxx ICS ROM) didn't like the exfat formatting it came with, but it also wasn't able to format it itself. I eventually formatted it as fat32 with a large enough block size and the phone is now happy with it.
I have a Sandisk 64g and works excellente

I am also having problems. I am in BlackStar VIII Rom its ICS but it detects it but it wont format it self. I also tried to formate it on my Mac but my Mac can't see it. Its on OS mountain lion. It does detect it though and does allow me to format. Tell me what block size did you use? Thanks
Try loading your music collection! i have a sandisk 64 and 47 of it is filled with all of my music, works great though.

Do you guys recommend a highspeed microSD card to use for gaming? I heard i could use a app called foldermount to move games to the external sdcard. Thanks in advance. =)
I don't see how a faster SD card would affect gaming on your phone. I personally picked up a Samsung 64GB Pro microSDXC Extreme Speed (UHS-1) Class 10 Memory Card and have had no issues with it. I just felt like getting a Samsung card for a Samsung phone seemed like a smarter fit. My Razr Maxx had some SanDisk SD card that never had any issues, so I guess the most important factor would be reliability and cost.

I would recommend scandisk ultra or above series.
Thanks for the recommendation. People's reviews on your link sound impressive. Cant wait to order one now. I've had this phone for about two weeks and I already fill the internal sdcard. MC4 is huge.
