Bought a Kingston 16GB SDHC Class 10 card for my Desire a while ago, and found out it is not a happy match. Simply too unreliable. Went back to the good ol' trusted Transcend 8GB SDHC Class 6 card.
Anyone got any experience with the Transcend 16GB SDHC Class 10 card on the Desire?
Hi,
I have a Kignston µSDHC 16Go class 10 and I'm very happy with it. What do you mean with "unreliable ?"
My device was becoming noticably slower with this card instead of faster, and I got read errors continuously in apps like media players, Astro File Explorer en Root Explorer. Possibly it was becoming slower because of the read errors.
A chkdisk on Windows 7 continuously gave errors and a chkdsk on EXT4 Recovery sometimes was even unable to fix errors on it.
Reformatting only helped for a short while, then the read errors would reoccur.
So I finally gave up on it and trashed it.
I read everywhere that the Desire is very picky when it comes to memory cards.
Well, it seems like your kingston card was dead, it shouldn't give any error on a chkdsk.
Did you know you can get it exchanged from Kingston under warranty ? It has a lifetime warranty. I had to do it for mine because the first one I had was defective from the beginning, I couldn't format it at all.
Trust me, I have this card and it works flawlessly since I got it exchanged !

I did exchange it already, the 1st one truly was crap, far worse than the 2nd one, the 2nd one was slightly better but still crap. So I decided to ditch Kingston altogether.
Lexar cards
I've had good luck with a lexar class 10 32gb cards. No one I know has any transcend cards though.
I can't use Transcend micro SDHC 16 GB class 4- I had to pull the battery almost always after using an app that accessed SD (camera, gallery, music player etc)
I've found that samsung has been a dream with good speeds and no issues (as of yet...). As for the Kingston i got a class 4 card and that worked fine for me.

So today i brought a 8gb Transcend Class 6 mico sd card for my raphael. So i went back home and try it then i found it not detected on the file explorer but it says expansion slot in use when i go to Settings>About. Thanks in advance.
[email protected]
Transcend is not recomended by HTC. i am also having same problem with my SD card which is made by Transcend (4GB capacity). it detects when you put it in phone for a longer time, but you can not write/save/copy anything in it. it will say FILE CAN NOT COPY, MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS PROPERLY CONENCTED AND SOURCE FILE IS NOT MOVED BLA....BLA... BLA...
when i checked with HTC team, they advised me to use micro SD from SANDISK.
well the weird thing is when i insert the card on my friends phone(HTC TYTN 2) it detects it instantly after inserting it in. But when i insert it on my phone it doesn't work, btw i also tried another card from my friend, it a sandisk 4gb and it worked. hmm this seems top be a uncommon issue.
I ahve the SAME exact problem with the 8GB Transcend Class 6 Micro SD that I just bought for my phone. I've had no issues at all with the 4GB Transcend Class 6 card that I currently have. On the other hand, I had a 4GB Sandish Class 6 that would not work in my Raphael but would work just fine in my Kaiser.
Appearently the card worked randomly but i can't copy any file to the card for some reason.
look for something called SDformatter by panasonic i had similar troubles with a couple sd cards till i found this program.
they all work now in any phone/device.
Is there any specific setting to set in the program Panasonic formating program? Erase enable or whatever? I had my SD card working for about 2 or 3 days and now its not detected again.
I have similar my 8GB does not get recognized and if does it's only for a matter of minutes then corrupts but my 2GB reads fine, but the 8GB is fine in Kaiser already used the SDformatter to which makes it read till corrupts again within minutes...
Going to try some other cards out in local shop before purchase will take laptop to transfer data while there.

I have read in a lot of post that Transcend 8GB class 6 card have problems to be recognized by Rapahel.
I also have one. On my Kaiser worked well.
With stock rom it wasn't recognized by Raphael; with Energyrom it is recognized, but i used for few minutes, because i feared that something bad could happen..after reading all these post.
I usually use a Kingston 2gb card.
We were unlucky buying these cards...

Yes, I also have a Samsung 8GB class 6 card that my Touch Pro refuses to read. Tried an EnergyROM as I had read that for some reason they were better at reading some cards. But no dice - just bought Sandisk Class 2 and it works perfectly so far
Hi
I bought a Kingston 8GB SDHC Class 4 card today, I used a Class 2 before, anyway, I copied a lot of music (about 4GB) to the card from the computer but I don't even get close to 4MB/s only 1.38MB/s, have I done something wrong or is it a problem with the card?
thanks
If you're copying file to your phone over usb it will be capped at 2MB/s. It's the phone's fault, not your card. I bought a 16gb class 6 without knowing this and now I have to take my memory card out if I want to take advantage of the write speeds.

You may have been scammed. To know for sure, you should run the h2testw program against the new card. It's quite common for scammers to pass off 2GB cards as 8, 16, or even 32GBs. They can program the card to tell your PC that they are bigger than they actually are.
The h2testw script can test this by writing 8 1GB files (approximately) to your card.
Good luck!
I've read quite a number of posts regarding problems cropping up on this phone with 8gb card specifically. All other capacity cards seem to be working well.
Is there anyone who's running an 8gb card flawlessly.
Thanks.

I'm running and A-Data 8Gb class 6 from ~ 3 weeks and I've got no problems at all
Good to hear Thanks.
I have a SanDisk 8Gb with no problems for 3 weeks, except once but I dont understood the real reason for that. I shuted down my netbook with the LG connected via USB cable in the "Mass storage only" mode and the card unexpectedly lost all data and the Android system ask from me to reformat the card...
Sandisk 8gb class 2 with no problems aside from the slow loading when I restart the phone since most of my apps are on the SD...
I got a 8Gb sdCard pre-installed on my P500 when I bought it. And it still works fine.
Well I tried a Verbatim 8gb Class 4 MicroSDHC and the phone hung the first time. And then it hung again. But nothing's happened in the last day except a random reboot....
Kingston 8Gb MicroSDHC works correctly from the beginning : LGP500 purchased since 11/15.
The issue (which I faced) has been solved in the latest firmware

which firmware version is that ? is it ok to go with 16gb card ? or should i safely choose 8gb class 4 card.
Kingston 8Gb Class 4 here with Noejn Javali R7 rom and no problems.
I have a Sandisk class 4 with Prime 1 and no probs at all!
Cheers
8GB microSD, noname, class 4 (tested). In my phone for 3 days, but has been used for several months in a Motorola Milestone before, so it's not brand new. No problems yet, on a void ROM with a2sd/d2sd module.
Mine is running a 8gb class 6 MicroSDHC without any problem on Megatron with a2sd/d2sd module...
I've tried Kingston 8GB class4 on my O1 v10a and it reboots every 2 or 3 hours...... sometimes it lost association with applications on the mSD and I've to reboot it manually....... Changed back to 4GB Transcend class 6 and all is working fine............
waiting for a firmware update.....
Running a 8GB Class 2 SanDisk MicroSDHC in my Optimus S, no problems.
Im using a class 4 16 gb sandisk.. No probs at all.
I got Kingston 8GB Class 4 (SDC4/8GB) 2 unmounts per day.
using sandisk 8gb class 2 with noejin's void rom... no problems!!!!
Kingston 8GB class 4 - I have aprox 2 unmounts per week. (stock rom, megatron, void, devoid, my own cooked rom derivated from stock)
I bought a micro sd of kingston class 4 16GB in the store, not happy with it at all.
In the beginning it had issues because i couldn't put any files on it. Eventually fixed that. A week ago i couldn't put any movies on it, let say files bigger than 100mb. Now i can't put any songs on it:S
Already did chkdsk, and formatted it like 20 times, still same problem

Go back to the store and maybe ask for a new one??they have lifetime warranty
is the card format are fat32?
Yes 1GB ext4 and remaining is FAT32
Then have u try to copy the file using the card reader?
Give the card back and buy another make. I bought one of these a few months back and it was causing me a lot of hassle. I had it replaced with another one and same problems again. In the end I just gave it back and went for a Samsung 8GB class 6- has been working fine so far.
Hello,
Just to let you know, I had a Sandisk 16Gb class 2 and I replaced it with a Lexar 16GB Mobile MicroSDHC Card Class 6 High-Speed and it's working not to bad, I'm really happy with it, much faster then the Sandisk.
Super34
I bought this for my phone, and it is not working Lexar 32GB Mobile Micro SDHC Card- Class 10
I don't know what cards would be compatible with this phone, but in the past I've found that formatting a card on my PC has sorted non-working ones out on my phone. Have you tried that?
Yes i've tried formatting it in all possible formats.
sandisk worked
The sandisk one worked for us:

known bug - microSD not working
According to several Nokia.com discussion threads, this is a known bug with the 820. The card might work for a few minutes, but soon goes corrupt. The card can be re-formatted OK in a PC, and phone will recognise it again (but only for a few minutes). If you've changed the settings to store photos etc on the card, the camera will also stop working when the card goes corrupt (because it can't store the pics anywhere).
Apparently a patch is due one day to fix this...

I can confirm this through experience. Pretty bad issue since the phone only has 8GB of internal storage.
I have tried the following cards and have had the same exact experience:
Sandisk Ultra 64 Class 10
Kingston 32 Class 6 (I think)
Trancend 16 Class 10
For me, the SanDisk Ultra UHS-1 with 64 GB works fine WHEN I reformatted it on the PC to fat32 with this tool: fat32-format.softonic.de
Before, the phone recognized it, but crashed and I couldn't move files to it. After formatting, no more problems
I have this card here
SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A)
Worked as soon as it was inserted to the phone and I have several videos and photos on it. 58.X GB formatted capacity. I would not recommend using a card that is NOT listed as compatable with the phone.

is there any solution to move apps to sd card??
Not at the present time ^^

I got an update on the 19th, when the phone restarted everything worked with my Lexar 32GB Class 10(i'd actually forgot that I had it in there), so the issue seems to be solved now.

TurboTuck, thanks for the info.
Have you loaded the microsd with more than 10Gb? Issues usually occurs when more than this amount is loaded to the card.
...mine is working perfectly with a 16 GB class 4 microSD sandisk card.
Anyone tried a 32Gb class 4 microsd?
Just to throw in my .02.. I reflashed my 820 last night and the SD card is still working fine.. It is an 8 gig class 4 I believe. I have a 16 gig class 10 somewhere that I will need to try.
I'm still holding off on really celebrating, though.
Kingston cards work always for me
16GB class 10 here
I bougth a Sandisk 16Gb class 4 and it´s working perfect.
I already loaded it with 12Gb and has no lag at all.
I have 32Gb class 10 from SanDisk. It works perfectly not in 1308 and former.
