No it didn't and you have to get the top back part of the phone off. Kinda feels like you're gonna break it lol mine didn't seem to want to slide off, so I just kinda pulled up from the charging port and slid my finger toward the top corner and pulled it off.
Mine didn't either. Felt like I was going to break it also so I was hesitent on ripping it off haha. All is well now 32GB class 10 should be in tomorrow.
Phone is beautiful!
Took me a sec to figure out, but there is a recessed tab behind the power button to assist in snapping it off.
I looked like an idiot for like 10 mins when I tried to slide it off then my gf pointed it out. *facepalm

I know the specifications list 32GB as the max Micro SD card size.
Anyone try a 64 GB card to see if it might work? I double dog dare you...

a good little idea from some dude over at PPCGeeks. i used a rectangle of clear masking tape a bit bigger than the card to hold it down.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=34913
someone said it was posted here a while back, but just for anyone who is interested.
niceeee
i used double sided tape and it hold the card in gud
thanks
I don't use anything to hold the card... It stays there just fine....
I laughed when I saw the pics, then I realized the ppcgeeks post was serious! lol
Why on earth would u need to do this? Get an 8GB card, then never need another one.
Lemme guess...the card you hide in your battery cover has naughty pics/vids? lol.

Nah, that's what hidden folders are for. I carry an extra card on me in a SD/USB adapter on my keychain, but only because I carry that thing on my keychain anyway. My current 2GB is useful enough as it is.
Actually, that brings to mind the other reason for it. If you DO have an 8GB card you can't flash from it. That's where having a smaller one on-hand comes in handy.

I also did the same thing to my phone the other night and found that the original micro SD card was a class 4, so what I want to know is... What class of micro SD card did you use? I changed over my SD card the other night with a class 2 16GB and found that it showed up in the boot-loader as 'unknown' type SD card and that after the hard reset, when the phone was setting up and installing apps, it was taking 4 x longer then what it was when I had the original 8GB micro SD class 4 card in it.
Let me know if this has been the same for you or anyone else that has tried this. I have ordered a class 4 16GB SD card to try soon.
Cheers
Could you just copy/paste the procedure ?!...please
Ok Here is the link
Thanks Ralf
http://wp.me/p1azFB-J -try that
As you will see I just used an old class 2 16GB card that I had lying around, I think it is a Duracell brand !!. There were no problems with booting at all, just went straight to a message saying that the menu tiles were corrupt and asking for a reset. No noticable speed difference, but I will be getting a class 4 32Gb as soon as I can find one for a decent price.
Cheers
Andy
Good job...Thanks...!!
would 32GB Class 6 work fine ? and also will this effect Updates from MS, is there any serials on SD card that have to match up or something like that ? (hope not)

Hi Pipolas
For 3 of the black screws you will need to use a torx screwdriver, they are sometimes sold as "security" screwdrivers . The size you need is T6 x50. There is also 2 phillips screws which I just used a very small star pointed screwdriver for.
Hope that helps and thanks for your comments

I dont know yet about a class 6 32Gb replacement, but I am going to order one and try myself, as I beleive it will be fine. I will let you know once I get it delivered.
BYW, in terms of speed comparison, I have non-scientifically compared my 16GB class2 with my wife's standard 8GB Class 4 and the results look almost identical, in fact in some tests loading into IE etc the Class 2 phone was quicker. I need to run some games though to test properly, as they run mainly from the SD card and any real speed variance will be most apparent then.
There are no serial numbers needed, what WP7 is doing is formating the card in a special way, hence the need for the hard reset. This is shown by the fact that the 8GB card removed from the phone is not Fat32 formatted when connected to a PC and therefore does not show up. Equally when you plug your WP7 phone into the usb slot, it does not show up as a Removable Disk so you cannot simply transfer files to it like with WM6 and before. It remains to be seen if it can be reformatted to use elswhere.
Hope that helps
Cheers

Need to have a serious think about this. Thanks for the cracking guide tho.
You're a brave man, Andy. Thanks for taking the plunge and figuring this out for us. I might wait until the device is more than a few weeks old before attempting myself
thanks for sharing.
eh Andy i have a little problem :
how did you manage to put the power cord into the plug that is on the metal part? because I was handling, but the only thing that stuck is the mini usb port on this phone that is attached to the hull, I can not recharge the battery.
I suppose it is inserted incorrectly because at one point I tried to connect to PC USB port for a few seconds and he got "recognized" detected "then it went away.
thank you in advance for your help
Thanks Andy for sharing!

nvm, it actually reads 30 gb, I was looking at my internal storage the whole time in media link doh!
got this card for a steal too at $50.

Id recommend using a card reader to do this.
First plug your phone into your pc and choose mount as disk. Then copy everything from you old sd to your PC. Then power off your device. Then remove your old sd. Then place.your new sd into your card reader. Then copy and paste everything from your old sd to your new sd. Now your phone should be still powered off so take the back off and pull the battery. Then remove the old sd and place the new one in. Then put the battery back in,place the back cover back on and boot up. Should be good to go. Hope this helps.

Best Buy or Microcenter might have some. But Online from any well known place is not only easier to find stuff, it is generally safer too these days.

Yes it does make a difference. When an app is installed to the SD card it helps the app load faster, makes it more response while running. Copying files to/from the card is faster too. ROMs that use part of the SD as a swap drive will be much faster, and ROMs that use part of the SD as extended space will be faster. Taking burst 1080p camera shots if your ROM and kernel support it will work MUCH better, playing a 1080p movie will be smooth as well.
HTC is close to launching the successor flagship model to the HTC One. HTC has not revealed the launch date. Nokia has adduced evidence which suggests that the launch date is in the first quarter of 2014 and possibly as early as February 2014. HTC has not contradicted this.

SD card or bust
I'm really hoping they come to their senses with that. (no pun intended) The one was the first upgrade I've skipped thanks to lack of a sd card, and while the evo lte is still a solid device I'm sure not going to wait another year for a new evo.

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.

Hahaha, that's not a spec list, it's a wish list. Lol. It may as well have said 32gb ram and 40,000mah battery .
Still, I'd love to see them keep it looking pretty damn close to the One. One is the sexiest phone I've ever seen, but I had to skip it due to no upgrade, so anything else made won't look as goof, unless nearly identical.

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
