Ok everyone, so I've beaten the living hell out of my Vibrant, but now I'm trying to:
-do the FFC Mod (not that bad, still waiting for the FFC to come in)
-replace the internal SD card with a 32GB one and reinstall the OS from ODIN (assuming ODIN recognizes it).
-get a Galaxy S 4G antenna and install that in place of the vibrant antenna (this is the crazy part)
Is this at all possible? If so, EXCELLENT!!! If not, ok, but it was a cool idea.
My point here is to say that if this is possible, can it be done on the HTC Sensation 4G (the part about replacing the internal SD card)? I know it's a long shot, especially with it being a different company who has a vendetta against rooting, but it's still worth hoping for, right? Anyway, feel free to flame or post ideas (preferably ideas).

1.FFC seems a good idea
2.Mambo jumbo
3.Needless

good luck with that ur gonna need it
good look man, let us kno how that goes, make sure to take pics i wana see!
The modulation scheme between 3G and 4G is different. The frequencies are the same, so changing the antenna isn't gonna help. The transceiver chip would have to also be swapped.
Also, I would bet that the internal SD is on a chip... Not a removable card. And I would also bet the bootloader would have to be modified in order to see the 32 gig addition.

1. sounds like a great idea
2. noone has tried it before maybe google some stuff about the internal sd on the t-959
3.needless unless u put a stronger antenna
Internal sd-card is solder onto the board

Sell your Vibrant and buy a Galaxy S 4G.
Quicker and cleaner.
I like what ^^ said... buy vib 4g lol
1. Go ahead
2. Very unlikely and pointless, as well as risky.
3. Pointless, unlikely compatible and just basically out of concievable grasp.

Are we sure there is no micro SD card slot on the tab 10? Has anyone taken apart the unit? There is a micro SD slot on the 3G version, maybe samsung has left the actual slot on the system board but just covered up the opening on the plastic shell? This happens all the time in manufacturing devices, often Mfrs want to remove a feature and dont want to re-tool or reprogram a Mfr process so they do things like leaving the option in and just covering it up.....Ive seen this happen all the time.
The fact that the tab 10 was SUPPOSED to come with a micro SD card slot and at the last minute having it left out leads me to GREATLY believe that the actual slot is on the system board just covered up by the plastic shell.
The slot is supposed to be just to the right of the volume buttons.
I cant take my unit apart until I get the stupid 3-prong security bits to unscrew the screws near the usb connector.
Mh interesting, my rotary tool is ready

There's a greater chance of finding a tiny leprechaun who changes the orientation of the Tab when it turns, than of finding an documented secret SD slot.

You obviously have no idea that all samsung pre-production models of the tab 10 (im not talking about the 10v model) had a micro sd card slot. There are plenty of pictures online. The sd card slot is there. Or at least there will be traces on the board. IMO the actual slot is soldered on the board as it was last min choice to have the option removed.
It'd be interesting to know if there is one or not......
I haven't taken mine apart yet, and have no interest in doing it. Never the less, I would also be interested in knowing what we have going on back there. I searched for a teardown by iSuppli or similar, but did not find anything. Too bad.
I'm aware that some pre-production models had the hardware. You're making a giant leap to suggest that the hardware exists in production models when all evidence points to the contrary.
But by all means, feel free to prove me wrong. I anxiously await your pics.
It's more than possible. Look at WP7 phones.

What evidence points to the contrary??? Samsung officially will tell you there is no micro SD card slot but that does not count since its their default answer if it is or isnt inside. The fact that there is no actual cut out in the plastic shell also does not count as that is its default position regardless if the slot hardware is there or not.
Again where is this evidence to the contrary?

It seems just as likely, if not more, that the pre production unit had a slot in the case, but no functioning SD hardware behind it. Even if the hardware is there, getting it to work w/o Samsung's support could be difficult. Look how hard it's been for the zoom, while Motorola intended for it to work

maybe I'm missing something here, but what is the advantage to samsung when they actually have a microSD slot onboard 10.1 after the redesign and not to use it? I find their story believable that they had to cut it out due to size(thickness) issues. If they could squeeze in the micro SD they would not hesitate to advertise it as another advantage over the ipad2.

Advantage would be the ability to market the next product as "New and improved with expandable memory."
My professional opinion in concern to prototyping and designing, its much easier to modify and replace a plastic/aluminum enclosure than modifying a stockpile of motherboards

I have taken the liberty of messaging the user for his input on this threads subject and have requested he shed some light on this mind boggling question
I think this line right here is what's confusing people.
"micro-SD card slot for up to 32GB memory through a USB adapter (have to buy separately)"
It's possible to extend it through the USB adapter, but IMO it's much easier to use a service like dropbox or sugarsync. Save a few playlists locally with iSyncr then have the rest of your library on google music. I use sugarsync. I use it all the time. It's a great way to get files onto your device, wireless.
Where's the pictures of the pre production tab having the SD slot? And BTW it's up to the person making a claim against the norm to prove it... not the other way around, that's ridiculous.

I wonder if anyone's looked in to this? Could be huge - most of us have a dead simcard slot - I wonder if there's a way to hack in an sdcard reader to the hardware?
What dead MicroSD card slot?
Do you mean the slot that has the serial # info and has nothing to do with ab SD card?

He said dead sim card slot, not dead MicroSD card slot. The OP clearly realises the slot has nothing to do with an SD card. Seems you have misunderstood or not bothered to read it properly but nevertheless im sure the pretty much redundant piece of plastic with the serial info is something that I'm sure a lot of TP users would be prepared to sacrifice if they could mod in a card reader.
If you're going to hack anything then hack the USB port to work as a host and read away!

you would probably need to create 5v first. the touchpad I think runs off something like 3v. while I seems like a good idea to hack in a card reader,my feeling is not to.worry until you in out of memory. a better idea might be a device stuck to the back containing a extra battery and a card.reader. It would make the tablet thicker but increase battery life and provide plenty of storageas well as providing the power needed for the reader.

This would also be awesome. I think it would take a bit more for this though than an sdcard since the sdcard can operate up to 3.7v.

Well that's not near what the OP was talking about. An SD card that give you build in storage, even on the go, is much more practical than this option.

1. I didn't see where he asked about it... my apologies there.
2. Just pointing out the limited usefulness compared to the SD card solution.
I wasn't trying to be a jerk.
Personally I think the best solution would have been if HP would of just included an SD or MicroSD card. It drive me nuts when manufacturers mimic the apple model and give you less option and features as if that will equal success (looking at you Touchpad and GalaxyTab 10.1).
Um... Looks like the subject is just about buried in the amount of crap everyone has been piling on so far.
So back to constructive discussion... What are the advantages of having SD card in your mobile device (be it a phone or a tablet)?
I have a 16GB microSD card in my Nexus One, and I have never taken it out. I almost wish all of the flash was just integrated.
With quality of USB and network file transfer protocols I think SD is just about useless.

Very simple, I can put all my photos, videos, documents, downloads, Maps for my GPS apps on my SD card. It leaves more space on my device for apps and if and when I wipe my device I don't lose any of it. I've had time when I was having an issue with a device and had to wipe everything. Having certain files on my SDcard kept me from loosing anything. with my phone I've stored different ROM on my SDcard so I could test them out and switch between various ROM with ease.
I don't take my SDcard out either, the purpose of the SDcard isn't to move files from you computer to you phone but rather as storage.
But, I'll give you $10 for that useless 16GB microSD card.

Technically a TouchPad without hardware damage is unbrickable, USB is connected to CPU so you could always push a boot image to RAM.
You do bring up a valid issue, but some of the ways you can stop relying on local storage are cloud storage and cloud backups. These Palm accounts that we get with WebOS on the TouchPads do just that.
Which brings us to the next question, can we have an application to access our Palm accounts from Android?

But I like local storage. I rather have my music on my SD card. There are some picture I'd also like to have on my device locally. Same with documents and a variety of other thing. I don't have to have everything on there, but there are something I would like to have. Not to mention that being a WiFi device I can't always have access to cloud storage.
There is room for both in my opinion.
OK, I'm done... back to you regularly scheduled thread.
ive been curious about this since i got mine, but i have a 32gb, so its never really been a project in the front of my mind...imma take a look at the whitesheets and teardowns (cuz i dont wanna open mine if SD isnt possible ) and see if there are even pins for data available, but im pretty sure there isnt, which would also explain why devs are working on getting OTG running
Since the J Butterfly has a micro SD slot, I'm guessing the DNA has the internal connections for a slot. Can anyone verify this? Might someone be able to develop a hardware hack to add in an internal micro SD card?
I'm anxiously waiting for the tear-down of this phone
No the internals are different that's why the DNA isn't waterproof and it hasn't got a sd card slot it also supports wireless charging which I don't think the j butterfly has.

According to the Enganet review it is:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/16/htc-droid-dna-review/
"We noticed another small quirk soon after unboxing the phone: the micro-USB / MHL port on the bottom is covered by a plastic flap that takes more effort to snap closed than it should. According to HTC, this was done to keep the phone splash-resistant, in exactly the same manner as the J Butterfly. As we've seen on the majority of Japanese phones in the past, carriers in that country have particularly high standards when it comes to protecting devices from water, so HTC and Verizon chose to adopt those standards for the DNA."
According to this the DNA is no less "waterproof" than the J Butterfly is.
How similar the internals are is anyon'e guess until the device is torn down.

the j butterfly has IPX5 rating for waterproofness, which the dna does not, or at least hasn't been listed/officially mentioned
It's likely the same board as the butterfly - meaning if the slot isn't there, the pins for it will be and it could be possible to solder one in. Not sure if the driver would be there etc but since the phone is already rooted, I wouldn't be surprised if people found a way to do this.
That said, I wouldn't buy the phone assuming this is true. And soldering on something like this isn't for everyone, and everything might be so compact there's no way you could do it by hand.

well considering neither htc's site or verizons says anything about it I'm gonna go with the fact that it doesnt have since being waterproof/resistant should be a pretty big feature, not something they dont mention
Most of the places that say it has ipx5 are basing it off the butterfly and assuming the phones are the exact same.
right
Exactly !
But the waterproof come from case not from PCB and for sure that there in is an hided micro sd slot, i can bet for that.

I can confirm that it will accept card readers. I was able to plug in an eye-fi SD card reader and have it mount the card. However, it required power from an external source via a USB hub and Y-cable.

Has anyone hacked an otg cable for their dna to provide power to the dna while still working as otg?
Guys. the phones are nearly the same.
both phones are "waterproof" because they use the same source parts. the waterrproof factor comes from the case seal.
it is a silcone/rubber seal.
the parts difference is the simboard, which on the non-microSD we use MIcro-Sims,
and the other phones use Nano-sims, to fit the simcard AND mico SD in the same areas.
the SD slot on our phones CAN be used if you can do micro SMC soldering (think BGA)
but you will not be able to put the back on.
in case someone calls BS on me, I have this phone apart daily.
I used to do tear-downs phone soldering for a hobby, now i fix bricks.

This looks like a very promising upgrade for me. But I really am not a fan of phones without SD cards these days...
SD cards are old hat. Don't need them. they are slower and have more issues then on board storage. Just make the new devices with 32gigs minimum of on board storage and all is well.
Nothing more irritating then SDcard 0 and SDcard 1. How many times has this driven good Dev's batty? Ask the sense 5 rom porters.
Not too mention the only reason the EVO LTE doesn't already have a multirom port is because the sd card issue. Years ago I would have told you I needed an SD card slot. Truth is I buy an sd card and throw it in and forget about it. Hvent removed it since the EVO lTE was new and it might have well just been on board storage. I have a Nexus 7 and love the fact that it doesn't have an SD card confusing everything. Love not having to remember which drive the rom is on when flashing in recovery. "now lets see...did that download go to sd card0 "downloads" folder or sd card 1 "downloads" folder?" Yeah enough of that trash!
SD cards are for OG nerds, you fill up a 32 gig phone and I say go buy a real video camera there Spielberg.

That's just it, you put it in and forget it. And in the process, you buy 64GB of storage for $40, instead of $300 (or, not at any price, for most phones). I use pretty much all of my storage on videos and other stuff. That doesn't need to be fast.

SD cards are for OG nerds, you fill up a 32 gig phone and I say go buy a real video camera there Spielberg.

I could fill up a 64 gig card with music alone. I don't find it confusing because I don't use the onboard drive for anything.

SD cards are old hat. Don't need them. they are slower and have more issues then on board storage. Just make the new devices with 32gigs minimum of on board storage and all is well.
Nothing more irritating then SDcard 0 and SDcard 1. How many times has this driven good Dev's batty? Ask the sense 5 rom porters.
Not too mention the only reason the EVO LTE doesn't already have a multirom port is because the sd card issue. Years ago I would have told you I needed an SD card slot. Truth is I buy an sd card and throw it in and forget about it. Hvent removed it since the EVO lTE was new and it might have well just been on board storage.

Some people like to have most of their music with them (me included), and NOT stream from a cloud with ok reception and eat up battery life. Maybe a 128 gb phone would be acceptable, 16 and 32 are not enough, and haven't been for yrs. Better graphical games are bigger nowadays as well. And I have tons of games, and all emulators on mine. Seriously, stop bashing on people who like options. U want to be ruled by Nazis, than get an iPhone! Sorry, but that's my 2 cents
