It won't have any effect on your BB. But putting in a 16GB internal card requires a bit more work than just switching memory cards. I believe there's a thread on Modaco about it. Not sure if it's here too. I remember the guy who put up the thread had modified the kernel so that the entire 16GB would be accessible. The maximum capacity that is otherwise accessible is 8GB. So anything up to an 8GB card can be put in without having to do any extra work.
GOOD TO KNOW THAT 8gb AND OVER NEEDS SOME BRAIN ACTIVITY..LOL...ILL TRY N SEE IF MY BRAIN STILL IN GOOD CONDITION...THNX FELLAZ...

yeah... to have phone detect it by default .. just use 8gb card... anything beyond that usually have to hack the boot.img
and latest custom rom dont support it...
last supported around streakdroid 1.9 if i not mistaken...
Hi, I am also planning to change my inner sd with a class 10 16gb. I am also a newbe with android but not afraid of trying new stuff. where could i find the info about modifying boot.img to accommodate the 16gb inner sd?
PS i use longhorn 2.7

even though if you manage to make the phone detect the 16gb... there is no way to transfer data file directly to the inner sd, media detecting does not work correctly for it... and usb mount can only detect the external sd...
just use 8gb class 10 for inner sd.. that should be more than enough because other phone barely pass 512MB capacity for the inner sd and yet streak can... excluding newer phone of course...

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.

The manual states 32GB microSD should be used. How much do I need for rooting the gtablet? If 4 or 8GB microSD is enough will it work right? What is the best brand?
Thanks!
That's a good question, I had wondered that myself. I figured I would pick up a 16 gig for storage, and smaller / cheaper ones for backing up and switching out ROMS. If 4's would work in general that would be great (and dirt cheap).
Anyone more experienced in this area care to chime in with their experiences?
Thanks!
Up to 32GB sized cards can be used.
Grab any size you like.
Try to grab on of at least Class 6 rating or better. The higher the class number the faster the card is.
Is 4 or 8GB big enough for rooting?
Yes, consider the card as used only for media storage like music or movies, book etc, you wll need it only when you manage to fill the internal 16gb
So if you need only to root even 2 gb is plenty

Thanks! That's what I needed to know. I think I have a 2 gig from an old BBerry in the drawer at home.
You really don't need a card to root at all.
Get ADB setup properly to your PC and you can transfer all the files you need straight to internal memory (which will show up as /sdcard).
good point! depend on how you like to spend your friday night I guess
I have a 16 GB with about 4 GB space left, can I use it without erasing the stuff I saved on it?
Thanks
Hey guys.
I know that 64GB micro SDXC Cards are no supportet by our X10.
But has someone here testet this ?

Well, well, well...This would be an early christmas for me if it works. Have been forced to constantly streamline my music collection and dare I say with the new Xperia specs showing just 32GB internal storage and no micro SD card support, I sincerely hope Sony, that if it is true, it is a one off experiment. The average consumer hungers for more storage each time, fact.
Even the newer phones came out these few months only supports 32GB micro SD.
And by the way, I thought all Xperia phones are using micro SD?

Guys I' taking the plunge. If you see the youtube clip from the 1st post, all we need is to format it (probably with a SG SII) which should change the format to fat32 readable by our devices. If it should come to the worst I'll flog it on the SG II xda site or ebay.
Update 14/11/11 64GB micro SDXC Card works flawlessly with X10. Simply insert new card, phone will not recognise the format and will give message that card is damaged. Simply format (which is erase micro sd option on X10) and ENJOY!

Keep in mind, there might be a problem once you store files beyond the 32GiB limit of the SDHC standard. Weird things and corruption might occur.

mhmm, thats because they created a new data format for SDXC and we're reformating to SDHC standard? I'll think i'll get a 64gb Card Not like the 128gb versions will come out soon, right ?

It's not about the reformat. It's lower than that.
When id comes to SDcard readers, micro or normal, there are basically two types:
Type 1:
Hardware/firmware-driven, that uses it's own hardware to manage the basic functions of the SD-card and presents is as an UMS device (USB Mass Storage)
The benefit from those readers are less utilisation of the main CPU followed by higher throughput.
The backside is the limited support of what standards it can use.
Type 2:
Software/"dumb" reader. It'll just provide a "physial" connection to the underlying USB-system, and presents it "as is": a SD-card flash memory.
In this "dumb" mode, the Operating system must provide all the routines in order to communicate properly with the attached SD-card.
The benefit with those are full range compatibility with future standards, but it depends on software, drivers and the main CPU, which might result in slightly lower speeds and "sluggishness" as the IO-operations increases.
However, if the OS and the SDHC/SDXC drivers in question is poorly optimised, the hit on the CPU can be drastically high whenever a read/write occurs.
So, which one is prefered then?
It's up to the manufacturers of the hardware and the operating system.
In our case here, Android can use both UMS devices, as well as generic/default SDHC and SDXC flash cards.
In my opinion, the type 2, "dumb" readers, are the "best" ones.
The only limitations of what cards these readers can use, is only limited by the operating system and the kernel modules/drivers provided.
And the "load" on the CPU as generally so small it's often neglectable, provided the drivers and OS is well optimised.
Which type the X10 smartphone uses I cannot tell.
I simply don't know, but it sounds promising, as there haven't been any "corrupted data" reports from the few who are using 64GiB cards...
... yet!
If the X10 smartphone does utilise the type 1 reader, the firmware/hardware based one, it might "kick back", as data stored beyond the 32 GiB limit of the readers limitation, might just "disappear into the void", never reporting any errors.
Users might notice this first when they try to access the previous stored files and finds out the content returned are just a stream of nulls. (null = digital void, nothing, nada, true zero, blank)
If and When this happens, only time can tell.
Someone has to try fill the card "to the brim", and copy back the content verifying everything is correct and proper.
Not just the filenames and filesizes, but also the content itself. (Checksum methods should suffice)
Just to +1 the above post. When the manufacturer states a maximum card size its not what the phone can mount but what it can reliably use. There's a good chance that you'll have corruption if you continue to use it.
Anyone got any news on this?
Does it truly work with all 64 Gibibytes, or is only half of it useful as I suspect?
got ne for myself! Sandisk Class 6 64gb !
Have something like 40gb full. Works well!

Wish i could -.- but somehow the Phone (or what ever, never took it out!) Corrupted the MicroSD Card!
Then Phone Plays dead with a Corrupted MicroSD Card. Wont start up !
put the Card into SD Card and reade on my computer and that one says corrupted format. Need to reformat -.- But then "Computer cant Format that card" -.-
AND the Card gets ****ing HOT! nearly burnt myself! more than 50°C for sure! Also only shows 30MB space! But i had over 40gb data on it! so its a real one!
Guess i'll got an defective Card -.-
But about the Read/write values. had something like 6-7mb write and 30mb read.

Has anyone else had this problem besides me? I've been using the DFT roms and each time I flash to a newer one I lose some space. Right now my 8gb Mozart is left with 5.87 gb of Free Space and 804 mb of reserved space. This is after a fresh flash.
yes i've experienced the same, at the moment im on DFT v1.
Thinking of going back to OEM rom
Damn... Is there any way to get more space?
@gracemillian:
Yes, for my part, my mozart has 32gb of storage . There's a tutorial which explain how to change the microsd card inside the phone but it's quite risky!!
Thanks, I will try that. Now I just need a cheap 32 gb microSD Card, lol.
it's not risky! you just need steady hands and patience. And a card that will work.
Try SanDisk Class 4 32 GB cards. They seem to work. (look for the code SDSDQ-032G-B35 on the back of the card cover)
There's a discussion about cards on xda somewhere.
Don't just blindly get higher class cards thinking they'll work faster. They won't. In fact, choosing the right card is the most risky part of this whole exercise. And definitely don't get the cheapest card. The way wp7 maps storage, you'll end up with super slow everything.
best of luck!
Hmmm, is class 4 recommended? I've read the thread about the 'surgery' as well. I believe class 4 equates to 4mb read/write (CMIIW), will performance be affected? :/
I come from a Dell Streak background - a device which I really loved to play around with and abuse!! One thing you could do on that device was remove a bit of plastic from the battery compartment and then you had access to the internal SD card fitted by Dell, which you could then change to another (bigger) one.
I have the 8GB Mega 6.3 device - which I love just as much as the Streak - but I have yet to mess around with custom roms etc, but no doubt that will happen in time. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the internal SD/memory on this device to a large one? I assume the internal memory is just another Micro SD card and I also assume that removing the back of the unit would expose this card and allow someone to change it to a 16 or even 32GB card instead. I have googled and searched this site and other an not come across anyone who has found a way to do this - so I thought I'd as the question here to see if anyone else has come across this process anywhere.
Any information would be greatly appreciated
I haven't seen this done ....
I don't know if that's even possible
2SHAYNEZ
I don't think that is possible as i think the internal sd is surfaced mounted (soldered) to the mainboard, it might work if that could be removed and replaced with a larger capacity one..but it would take good soldering skills to do it..and not sure how it even would work if this was changed out.
I did see an couple people in the note community get a SD card adapter ribbon and be able to make there external memory 256 and 128 GB.....

I suspect you are right. I thought it was worth thinking about as it was a very easy thing to change on the Dell (after a bit of deft stanley knife skills) and it would avoid the annoyance of having loads of space on my external SD card, but getting very low on the internal card. If Samsung could add a 'install to SD' option, like the Dell had that would go a long way to removing the need to increase the internal memory size. I've noticed a few posts in the Samsung galaxy section on here which says that some of the roms are adding this feature.

I had a closer look at some of the mega teardown websites and it was apparent that the internal memory is not another sd card as it was on my Dell steak, it looks like a surface mounted chip -so that's that by the looks of it - no simple upgrade will be possible. Shame but not the end of the world for me as the phone still rocks! I do wish I'd bought the 16gb though.
