memory card help

are the new microsdch cards compatible with the touch pro

I've never heard of those, but micro sdhc cards work fine , I'm using an 8mb one

i think sdhc cards are min 4GB dont think anybody feel that 8MB cards are that high capacity

i dunno....it's pretty high capacity for something smaller than my little fingernail

I'm about to purchase a microsd for my HTC Touch pro and i'm between :
Kingston 8gb SDHC class 4
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=170972
and
SanDisk 8gb SDHC class 2
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=158255
and
Expansys 8gb SDHC class 2
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=164646
Now the question is will the HTC support any of the 3 and why the heck is the class 4 kingston lower cost than the other two seeing as its supposed to be faster ? :/

Dunno. Kingston are usually cheaper than sandisk anyway, and i wouldn't touch Expansys' own brand stuff with a bargepole.
Oh and yeah, it should work fine.

Yep, they'll all work. Go for the Kingston. Class 4 is indeed faster. Probably cheaper because it's newer stock (you can tell from the Expansys stock code).
Expansys never seem to reduce prices on accessories like these. They go in at a certain price, and stay at the same price 'til they're all gone. By the way, hold out for a couple of weeks (hopefully?) and you should be able to pick up a 16Gb MicroSD for about £50...
Oh, and if you hit Google, you can usually find a £10 Expansys voucher knocking around for purchases over £20...
EDIT: Just looked at the links, The SanDisk one is Class 4 as well, so I'd probably go for that one, as they're the same price, and I've had loads of flawless SanDisk cards over the years...

Yeap noticed that aswell i'm changing the order to the Sandisk one

Yep sandisk ones are spot on, see if you can get one that includes the free red and black USB reader aswell, great little accessory.
Remember to format it with FAT32

Yeah, Expansys are kinda expensive. Try mobymemory, I've always had an excellent experience with them.

8GB Class 4 SanDisk WITH card reader, loads cheaper. Plus when they say it's in stock, you can be pretty certain that it actually is.

Hi, regarding the different speed classes of the micro sdhc cards:
Does it always make sense to use the fastest card and does this really affect the performance according the cards speed class?
I mean does anybody know about the maximum speed of the card interface of the touch pro? I'm thinking to buy the SanDisk Ultra (class 6)

Within the device itself, the class of the card won't matter too much. A class 4 is probably comparable to a class 6, and certainly wont make a difference when it comes to playing mp3s or viewing pictures. But a class 6 card will certainly make file transfers faster on to/off of the card using a PC (best results if you use a separate usb/card adapter and not "disk mode" on your Touch Pro).
For reference, I'm using A-DATA Class 6 8gb MicroSDHC, works perfectly and no errors. Available for $31 at Newegg (if you're in US).

sandisk class 4 sdhc microsd 8 GB is the fastest at the moment and you can get it for 33 euro.. works fantastic..

Kingston SD cards

Has anyone here had any experience with kingston sd cards? Just bought a class 4 16g card from newegg for 35 including shipping.. The reviews were pretty good and I know theyre a pretty big company so I think i'll be ok but wanted to see if anyone here could confirm or deny this
*I'm just sayin...

ive got a pny 16 gig, and it works great. i know kingston makes good ram, so id imagine that a kingston sd card would be worth its money, and i cant see a big brand memory product being garbage, especially in 2011. that price is a win no matter what though.

How much was the card? I would love a bigger card. And what did y'all do to transfer memory from one card to the next?

If you have the moola, get this from Newegg, it's Class 10 so faster speed
WINTEC 32GB Micro SDHC FileMate Mobile Professional SDHC Model 3FMUSD32GBC10-R
It's around $82.49 with free shipping.

I've read a few reviews on Wintec cards, and not a lot of them are good. They work fine at first, then start to degrade quickly. To top it off, people say that when they try to get it replaced through Wintec, Wintec claims that its user error or abuse.

He said in the OP that its $35 and free shipping.

I have 16GB for two years already and now i bought 32 gb ... both are working well so far.

16gb are going from $22-$35 shipped right now - class 10 speeds. Pick one up if you are using the stock 8gb. I just ordered one myself.

I've used two different Kingston SD Cards. They worked well for me without any issues. My previous was an 8gb Kingston class 4 and I currently have a Kingston 16gb Class 4 card.
The 8GB is nearly 2 years old and is working just fine. Have used it in multiple cell phones and currently serves as a flash drive for work using an adapter. The 16gb works just as well with some added space.

I bought a Kingston 8GB Class 4 MicroSDHC for my previous phone, the Nexus One, a year ago and I was very satisfied with it. It's way cheaper than the Sandisks and it works great so yeah, highly recommended!

From my experience I would have to agree on the class. To be honest, I think even a quality class 2 card would do just fine on a mobile device.
The class is an indication of the minimum Write Speed (class 4 = 4mb/s class 6 = 6mb/s, etc) The Read speed is generally much higher than that, so even if you are running applications from the SD card, performance shouldn't be hindered by a lower class card.
The only instance I can think of that performance would be affected is if you record a lot of 720P video with your phone. In that case, a faster write speed *Should* help with stuttering issues.
Now if we were talking about a high end SLR camera, then hell yes, speed makes a huge difference. I run a Kingston Class 6 in my SLR and it handles everything just fine, including HD video.
Just my 2 cents...

Well,
What it really comes down to is how fast the SD card adapter is in our phones, which I haven't figured out yet. If it'll fully utilize a class 10 card in terms of max write speed, then I would totally go for a class 10 card.
Can anyone verify the max speed our phones could support? (No guesses, please)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I like Samsung cards personally. The performance has always been well above it's rated speed, and I've never had one corrupt/fail on me.

Must have been a promotion. My shipping was free. ANd to update everyone else it works like a charm. Dont really notice anything as far as normal phone function because I dont store apps on SD but My Titanium, Nandroid, and Just general SD backups to the PC are noticably faster.

Kingston is dead to me...
So, used to be a big proponent of Kingston, but they've seriously slipped over the last couple years (and not just flash, I've had major problems with their desktop memory, too, but that's a story for another forum). I bought the SDC4/32GB from Newegg. Supposed to be 32GB class 4 card. Wow. First one they sent wrote at 2MBps, read at 3MBps. Sent it in for a replacement, and I got one that wrote at 3MBps and read at 3.5MBps. Tried formatting it with my phone, with the official sdformatter utility, with Windows, with Linux, nothing helped. Third replacement was back down to 2/3MBps. Hardly class 4. And no, it wasn't my device or anything like that. I've got an actual class 4 8GB Sandisk card that came stock with my phone, and it does 5/7MBps on the same devices on which I tested the Kingston. And the Sandisk can record 720p without stuttering. Recordings from the Kingston were like watching a slideshow.
Very much done with that. Sent it back (again), got a refund, and now I've ordered that class 10 Wintec 32GB. Curious to see how it performs, and I'll stress it right away to see how it handles in the long run (do a bunch of writes and reads the first week to make sure it won't crap out right away). I'll report back here with my results, but they can't be worse than the Kingston. And from what I've read, it may be hit or miss, but when I get a hit, it'll be a class 10!

Best 32GB Micro SD for Infuse

Hello...
What do I need to look for when purchasing a 32GB Micro SD card for the Infuse? A specific "class"? Speed? Etc?
Thanks...
Brian

I've read good things on sandisk 32 class 2 & 4. Im using a 16gb class 6 that I got from bb for 35 bucks. Works great.

Anything not sold over ebay or amazon 3rd parties!

Does class really matter for a phone like the Infuse? I've read conflicting reviews, saying that anything over class 2 doesn't provide any benefit to the Infuse, and others who swear that anything below Class 6 is terrible for the Infuse. Are there any official stances on this?

I purchased the SanDisk 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model SDSDQM-032G-B35N
and it is a class 2.
I copied the contents of my 16GB card to it and rebooted the phone. I'd say for the next 12-18 hours, it was very slow and choppy. But after that, and to this moment, it is working just fine.
Wonder what the slow down was after the initial install of it?

I'm looking to get the SanDisk class 2 32gb. Is it still acting fine for you? I also seen PNY class 10's "for tablets" for about $10 cheaper than the sandisk is. Wondering if I should go for that or stick with the SanDisk.

Happy with my class 2 32G SanDisk for the last two years
I've used it in a BB Bold, then the Captivate when it came out, and now on the Infuse.
It has always worked great, I manly use it for music storage, but also have about 6G of maps ( for using the GPS outside cell reception).
I'm very happy with it.

Awesome. I think what I would use it for mostly is music and movies...The internal space should be plenty for apps/pics.

not sure how fast the infuse can read but i can tell you in actual benchmarks it is posible to have a class 2 read as fast as a class 6, many cheaper cards are faster than they are rated. also im pretty sure android is designed to minimize i/o. i guess it all depends on the complexity and size of the apps you run off of it and how fast the phone is. when someone says a class4 is good they are basically saying dont waist your money. i tend to agree with that.

I highly doubt the controller in the Infuse has a maximum transfer rate that even comes close to class 6 or maybe not even class 4. The only advantage to the high speed cards is if you put the card in your PC and copy files to it (assuming your SD reader can even handle the higher rates).
That being said I bought the A-Data class 10 16GIG because it was only $20 after coupon a couple weeks ago from Meritline but I have no doubt a class 4 or even 2 would be just fine with no noticeable performance difference.
It's no different that putting a SATA3 drive on a SATA2 controller.

yeah I may just go with the Sandisk 32gb class 2. It's about $12 more expensive than the Adata 32GB class 10's but those are sold out at the moment and Sandisk is a better company IMO anyway.

I've been using a Transcend 32GB Class4 Micro SDHC from newegg. It's amazing! It works great! Fast, large and just straight up works with the phone. Formatted memory for me is 31.6 gigs. Highly recommend it.

Adata 32GB Class 10 in my GS2, Infuse and Berry, no complains here. Transfer speeds much better than Class 2 card that came with phone...at least for my Berry that i regularly use transferring files for work.

Exactly this. Someone over in the HD2 section ran several VERY thorough tests confirming that there's very little difference in a class 2 or class 10 card unless you put the card in an adapter directly.

Working fine? Depends...on a reboot, it can take 5-15 minutes for my apparently to appear. Manage Applications can take the same amount of time. And Market apparently are suddenly getting stuck in perpetual downloading.
But the apps launch and run fine. I have no idea if it is the card or not.

Q: Large micro SDHC Cards

Hello guys and gals,
I am starting to feel the pinch with an 8 Gb memory card and wondered if anyone had found a good, cheap and compatible 16 or 32 Gb micro SD cards for the Desire S.
EBay seems to have some 32gb cards for about 10 GBP which sounds insane.
Anyone got a suggestion for this UK Desire S user?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

You don't want a cheap one, spend those 30€ on a class 10 card. It's well worth it its faster and will probably not die on u as some cheap one might.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

Do NOT buy cards from ebay. They will always be fake, when they arrive they will say 32gb but if you perform a scan with a tool it shows its actual capacity to be 1gb! Don't fall for it like I did!
Just use google shopping and search for the cheapest price for a memory card from a reputable site.
In fact, I see you're in the UK and theres a good deal on from play:
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/16710254/Lexar-16GB-Micro-SDHC-Memory-Card-Class-4/Product.html
I bought a 16GB class 6 about half a year ago for £18 so this is a pretty good deal.
From experience classes dont make much of a difference at all, maybe miniscule. This card comes with a 5 year warranty so no need to worry about it dying on you.

I ordered a 16gb class 10 y/day from play for £17.99 It's Pny but will do the job

Cheers for the replies. I thought eBay would have been a rip but you never know with that place, some crazy deals happen and we miss them because we fear them (and quite rightly 99% of the time).
Might pounce on the 16 Gb Class 10 from Play.com.
Anyone know if the Desire S can take 32Gb cards and are there any good deals on those? Best I've found is £38, give or take pennies.

Far as I know yeah it can handle a 32gb

Yes, it can! =)
Mine is MicroSDHC 32GB Transcend Class4 (TS32GUSDHC4). Works good.

I got my 16 Gb today and its working fine

Did anyone tested an A-DATA / KINGMAX 16GB, class 10?

I got a scandisk 16gb.. works great!

I bought a Samsung 16GB Class10 microSD, works like a charm...

bought a sandisk 16gb class 4, everything is running fast and without problems, don't know if you would "feel" a higher class at all

I spent a lot of time looking on the 'net for a reasonable price 32GB card.
Saw plenty on Ebay but many looked untrustworthy (had a bad experience before!)
Eventually collected a 32GB Class 4 card for £35 from Novatech, local to me.
The Novatech card I got turned out to be Integral brand with 5 year warranty.
It's actually a Toshiba manufactured card made in Japan, so I'm happy with it.
The camcorder app seems to work better with the Class 4 card than it did with the supplied Samsung 8GB Class 2.

I bought Toshiba 16gb class 4 and it is good working.

Been using a 16 GB Class IV Transcend Micro SD card, everythings been peachy so far. Finding a legit 32 GB Class IV Micro sd card is so hard here in my neck of the woods.

class 2 do not work well if at all in most all ICS, Jellybean Roms... you need to have at least a class 6, and with pricing these days class 10 8GB or 16GB can be had for cheap

Only because there is no class 12 or 14 etc. UHS-1 cards are considerably faster than the first class10 cards (at least at synchronous read), but the class system considers anything faster to still be class 10, because there is no faster class. Some Sandisk cards return status7 errors when flashing roms to our phones, but it seems to be hit&miss from one card to another.
