Hi, i just bought the xda II and plan to buy a SD storage card for pictures, movie clips and mp3s. Plan to buy either 256 or 512 mb SD card. It will be lovely if some of u guys can give me some opinion, suggestion or recommandation.
p/s: I've heard that some SD card come with different speed (16x, 32x...), can i ask what it mean? the write speed? read speed? will the speed effect from listening mp3 which store in SD card?
thanks!

Hi all,
what is the biggest SD-Card size you have successfully used with the Prophet?
My girlfriend is thinking of buying a 4GB card for her music collection...
And I just saw the first 8GB SD-Cards are available.
thanks

I have a 4GB Transcend (150x Speed) in my XDA Neo.
It does work fine! Just keep in mind to format it with your Desktop PC - otherwise you can't access it from the Desktop PC later (e.q. to store MP3 etc.)

Up now 4go is the max, but you have to buy a SD card, NOT A SDHC !

I've Googled the subject to get results telling me that there is a CAB avalible that will enable me to use the 4GB SD card, could any-one please help me out with this issue.. Thanks in advance..

Morning all,
I currently use 1GB Sandisk SD card for my XDA II Himalaya. As TomTom size is increasing day by day, I was looking for an 8GB SD card however when I searched online, it said SD over 2GB are now SDHC (SD High Capacity cards) and the devices need to be compatible to be able to run it.
My question is, Does Hima XDA II supports SDHC cards? (I am using Ather 6.14 ROM Mobile version 6).
Could someone please help on this matter before I make a buy?
Here is the link to the Hima I have :[http://www.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_ii-697.php]
Here is the link to the SDHC I am looking at : [http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/4949650/SanDisk-8GB-SD-HC-Card/Product.html]
Many thanks

Hi,
Himalaya does not support SDHC, only SD.
However, I have several 4gb non sdhc memory cards working perfectly.
If your search well you will certainly find them.
Three suggestions:
1 - Try before your buy. There have been mixed experiences with different brands (and sometimes even with the same brand...)
2 - If possible, go for the ones with highest speed (even if some say there is no difference...)
3 - Format the sd card in the device...
Regards,
P
Thanks Pdc4, I really appereciate your help in this.
I am looking at Sandisk ones, they are quite good and faster then other brands.
Will check out and find out if I can find one which is only SD.
Many thanks
Kind Regards

Does the Captivate get slow with the 32gb sd card from Verizons website? Ive heard people say that it doesnt play vids that are 1.5gb, I have movies that are 1.5gb mp4 at 720p, will they play?
What class is the card?

The slowest card they will put out will be a class 2. That's the minimum allowed by the standard. I have a 16GB class 2 card in my phone now, and I can play HD video off it with no hiccups, so I would imagine that the 32GB card would do the same. As soon as I can find $150 I don't have a better use for, I intend to get one.
Buy dot com sells them for about 125 =p
But yeah, they should all work fine for watching movies, the file size limit generally has to do with the file system being used, but 1.5gb shouldn't be an issue I wouldn't think.

Hi All,
I plan on buying a new SD card (16 GB). Is SDHC Class 10 good? I believe it is supposed to have good r/w speed. Any specific brand to look for? I could only see Transcend and Verbatim on online site.
Is there any way to move app as is from the old to the new SD card? I do have Titanium backup but wondering what happens if I insert new memory card. All my apps are installed in internal memory with some games having downloaded files on SD card.
Thanks in advance.
Save yourself money and get class 6. More than enough.
Go for any known brand. You.can just copy contents from old card to the new one.

I disagree, brand and class do matter. If you can buy class 10 Kingston , they are pretty fast and have lifetime warranty.
M experience with slower cards. If you play games and listen to music sometimes it can stutter , if your internal storage is not big (Sensation has 1gb which sucks) you tend to move lots of stuff to SD so if the card is slow it certainly affects overall performance.
This was the case with Desire, indeed, but mainly for ext partition.

Thanks for your responses. I dont have an option to buy Class-6. I am buying it online and the only option that I have is Class-10.

As stated above go for a good brand. Like SanDisk/Kingston, I've tried cheap ones and they've failed quickly. My current one is a Lexar which seems OK.
There is an app on the market that you can use to benchmark the card. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it. I found an old 4GB SanDisk which was Class 4 performed better than Class 6.
