16GB microSDHC card & touch cruise

Today I got my 16GB microSDHC storage card (Sandisk 16GB Class 2)
It is working on HTC Touch Cruise Original WWE 6.1 Rom from HTC released last week.
why Sandisk made the 16GB card Class 2 instead of Class 4 or 6 i don't know.
File transfer information:
* Large files: (mp3) did: average 11MB p/s. (9MB - 12.8MB)
* Large & some small files (tomtom maps) did: 6MB - 12MB p/s with an peak at 13.141 p/s
*small files (programs & data files) did 0.9MB - 6.7MB p/s with some peaks at 9MB p/s
I looked for an Class4 or Class6 microSDHC card but could not find one anywhere at the moment.)

[Q] SD Card Works Slow - X10 Mini Pro

Hi everyone this is my first post lol
I have X10 Mini Pro phone upgraded to Android 2.1 and I bought a 4 GB SD card. It used to work really fast when I formatted it using phone's own SD format tool, (which I found to be formatted as FAT32 16K cluster size) however when accessing various pictures in Album or playing some SD card intensive games, the SD card stops responding and would show zero size in SD card properties. But now I have solved the problem by re-formatting SD card with FAT32 4096 bytes cluster size using my PC, but it works really slow, takes time to process thumbnails in Album or when recording video it records with few hiccups I tested my SD card for bad sectors on PC there were none and then speed tested using various apps on my PC which shows that when formatted as 16K cluster it performs like a class 4 SD card, and when formatted as 4096 bytes it performs like a class 2 SD card, half the speed that is
Can anybody guide me what filesystem and cluster size should I use, or any other solution? I just can't put aside this SD card since this 4 GB worth its size and it has no bad sectors
Btw I like xda's community, I frequently read most threads here

I had the same problem with MicroSDHC 8GB in Galaxy Mini and I used this to format: https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/...it solved all my problems. Hope this helps you too.

[Q] Move to USB Storage filesize

Hey guys,
I have a query about the file-size of apps from moving them from the internal storage to the USB storage. How come it increases in size?
For instance, take Angry Birds Star Wars
When it's in internal memory (Move to Phone) , it's 48mb
When it's in USB Storage, the total filesize is 51.18mb
That's not a big difference, sure.
But when I transfer small file-sizes, it increases big-time.
For instance, take Camera ZOOM FX Composites,
It's filesize on internal memory is only 368KB, but when I move it to USB storage, it increases to 2.07mb, that's a increase of almost 500% file-size. Can anyone explain why?
Thanks for your help guys

Virtual memory, or apps off SD card?

I'm interested in expanding my phone's RAM because I've noticed I run enough apps that it goes slow.
It has 1.5 GB memory, and 5 GB HDD.
I have an option of buying a 64 GB micro SDXC card. I want to know the best write speed for it if I intend to use it for virtual memory, IF using virtual memory via SWAP is even preferable to running apps directly off the SD card.
Here are the phone specs:
RAM: 4700 mb/s
Internal memory: 59 mb/s (read), 24 mb/s (write)
sd card: 60 mb/s wite: 24 mb/s
So I'm thinking, any SD card I get is going to be slower than real RAM, but if I get the cards that read/write 90 mb/s and 80 mb/s, that should be far superior to what I would get off the internal SD card, no?
Also, if I have files on the external SD while using it for virtual memory, will that mess things up?

TV Box - 1GB/8GB

How can I merge the 1GB and 8GB memory on my TV box. Trying to add a SD but it does not do anything to increase either of the two memories. The 1 GB RAM is working out too less. Any suggestion how to increase that memory size.
