Guys,
What is the best 6gb card for the Vario III?
I'm thinking of sterking clear of sandisk after the reports about it being a dodgy fit in the unit itself...
So come on - sh and tell I am still waiting to lay my mney down!!
lr
I doubt you will find many people who have tried all of the above, so they cant give a good vote based on experience.
That said, I have the SanDisk one and it works great. Doesn't get stuck.
I have the Sandisk. Works fine. NOthing wrong with it at all...
i thought there were fitting issues with it???
i do not have it till now, but i prefer sandisk than the kingstone.
I also have the Sandisk and it's been OK so far.
sandisk
sandisk has no fit issues on the tilt variety
thx guys - so wheres best plce to get one? for uk...
dont you think there is something wrong with the poll, sandisk are the only company to make 6gb micro sdhc, i dont other companies will follow, it's not a very common size in memory storage, talking of which, adata has just release th fastest micro sdhc on the market with the first 4gb class 6, claiming a read speed of 20mb/s and write speed of at least 6mb/s.
I also got the 6gb, got it dead on arrival, the card was corrupted, nothing i did will get it back to normal, just waiting for sandisk uk to send a replacement.
kms
yeah prolly is wrong but i didn know any better!
I have a sandisk 6gb and it works flawlessly in my ATT Tilt

I bought mine from amazon.co.uk for 33.78 GBP. Expansys has them for 41 quid.. I didnt look anywhere else.
i did the same as you now!! yay!
thx
I bought a Sandisk 4GB, and unfortunately - after a couple of days light use that seemed okay - it died completely when I tried to fill up with music. Windows Media Player got to about 11% on the sync, and then just sat there. When I eventually cancelled it all, I found the kaiser wasn't seeing a card there at all anymore - and when I tried it in the USB flash drive the PC just hung trying to read it. It seems completely dead.
I don't suppose anyone has any tips on reviving one of these?
On a side note, I did find it wasn't a great fit - it felt quite rough getting it in and out, as if it was rubbing a little more than it should have been - but this was the 4GB version, not the 6GB.

Has anyone else got issues with the use of SD cards in their Alpine derivitive?
Like the card not showing as being there when you try to write to it or explore the phone with file explorer or ActiveSync?
Perhaps videos on the card stop whilst watching them with a file error or the like?
Mine does with all 4 different makes of card I have tried and I am wondering if this is a common fault.
Yep its a very common fault.
I think everyone has the same experiences. (Me included)
what version ROMs do you have ?
there is an upgrade available if yours is the origonal, the upgrade will help a bit.
have a look here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25801
But read to the Third page as "Pug" psted a more up to date package
I am using Pug's Radio version 1.03 hybrid, but continue to suffer!
I have downloaded a SD Card benchmarking utility, my card is showing as 4.7x, but I don't know how that relates to manufacturers quoted speeds. It is either painfully slow or uses a different scale!
1GB SD from Transcend
Some ppl said the Transcend 512 SD works well on the 2i, just wonder if the 1 GB will work as good as the 512...
Any comment will be appreciated
Does anyone know where to get the 4 GB SD-Cards cheapest?
And what branches are there?
A-Data and Pretec i know, but are there more?

I bought a Transcend 256mb 80X card an my XDA IIi has worked flawlessly since with no lock-ups what-so-ever.
I can't speak for the 1mb though!
This seems to be a power issue, the Transcend cards are very low voltage and ampage. My old SanDisk card would fail every time a network function took place, and they are high power drains.
I bought a OEM (white labelled) 1GB MMC and use it on my IIi. Everything is fine so far...
Is there any difference between MMC and SD in terms of IIi flaws?
:?:
Only SD cards are supported by the XDA2i, although if you use the backpack addon i think you can use MMC, but not without the addon.
Someone told me once that the IIi works best with a fast SD card like the Kingston Elite Pro. I changed to that and all my problems when away. TomTom5 stopped locking up as well.
Kingston SD Card
Are there any other users who have used the Kingston Elite Pro SD Card. I have been looking around for a while, and the Kingston Elite Pro 1 GB / 512 MB seem to be a single layered card.
I also wanted to confirm that when using a Sandisk SD card, I am having lockup's. If I take the card out of the slot, the XDA2i begins to respond again. Though I must admit I havent tested it exhaustively.

You mean CF not MMC. SD and MMC both work in SD slots, but not vice versa.
CF type 2 is the slot on the VGA backpack.
SD Card issue
I understand all SD cards work.. I was trying to find the compatability of the same with Tomtom Navigator 5. I understand from the earlier posts that a multi layer card causes lockups. The transcend 80X card works fine. I was inclined towards buying a Kingston Elite Pro and hence the question...
SD Card issue
I have removed this message as it was posted twice by mistake
another Newbie,.,
hiya all. . i'm recieving my Xda 2i in about an hour.. just wondering which SD memory works best.. i read a few posts and quite frankly being quite confused,, was about to order a scandisk SD 1 gb card.. but i read somewhere ppl saying this is bad??
is that true?
thanks..
The Sandisk is not the best one. I have one and it causes lockups being a multilayer card. The transcend 80x works fine ( what i gather from different forums ). The Kingston Elite Pro also has some very good feedback. I am purchasing a 1 gb Kingston elite pro today. Sandisk is a no no... [/quote]

I cannot browse Ebay at work so couldnt confirm. But you could find the card on this url:
http://www.epcbuyer.com/products.asp?recnumber=5761
Its around £44 on this site.
I tried to find a deal at ebay from home yesterday. They are around £39 and are being shipped from HongKong. I dont know when we will receive it. There could be excise + other charges. I am not sure.
hmm.. well on this guy whom is shipping from HK is selling it at 25 quid including shipping.. .trouble is i want it asap .. Heh... buying from him seems like 20 quid cheaper.. howeber have to wait for about 10 days or so.. . so he sez.. not to mention customs and duties.. ....
i just might shell out 44 quid then...

Well you also avoided the same trap... I almost fell into. Though it says £12 (Card) + £13 for postage, but you didnt have a look at the mandatory insurance which stands at £13. In all its around £38 + Other expenses. Not to mention the pain of getting it from hongkong...
Good decision at last...
Hi
Does anyone know if 4GB SD Cards work in the Alpine? Especially, the Transcend 4GB 150X Cards?
BTW, I have had the 1.04 ROM for quite some time now, and I have noticed some problems compared to the previous ROM. The device sometimes locks up when going in to flight-mode and then switching the phone back on. Also, sometimes the wireless does not switch on. Anybody else had any issues?
Thanks
dont know about 4GB..... im using 1GB from Kingston...working fine....
dont have any problem but not very happy about bluetooth...
thanks
Yes, it is compatible.
Using Trahscend 4G 150x for 2 months already - no problem (except too few USB card readers understands >2G cards)
Great! Thanks....just what I needed
I found it for £150 so good price too! w00t

Where did you find it at this price? The mutt chewed mine up and I need a new one.
Cheers, Pug.
Unlucky about the dog lol. My goldfish may be boring, but it doesn't destroy my £150 SD Cards!!!
I just checked now, and it seems the price has gone up to £160.
If you are still interested, here is the link:
http://www.memory-configurator.co.uk/partsearch.html?partnumber=1&strict=1&partno=TS4GSD150
I recommend you order by phone. I bought about 100 256mb Transcend SD Cards off them before, and they were reliable. Dirt cheap for all kinds of memory too! Free shipping as well!

Hi All,
I have a 512 MiniSD and i want to upgrade. So i wonder What is the maximum capacity Mini SD I can use smoothly with my Wizard. I don't want something to slow the device or make it freeze.
thanks
my 2gb miniSD works fine...£33 too
i am using a 2 gig and it works good
thanks for the reply, do you recomend any specific brand or they are all the same
ATP are supposed to be good--waterproof and claim to be faster than other miniSD cards. I read a few posts here about them a few months ago and bought one--haven't had any problems. I don't have another miniSD card to compare the read/write speed, and I don't make a habit of giving my Wizard a bath so I can't vouch for the waterproofness either...
i bought a sandisk 2 gb. works great for me.

dude there is NO 4gb CARDS for minisd. If so....link me and prove me wrong.
4Gb miniSD being advertised...but are reg SD...
I ordered and received one....after a pretty easy search and finding several.....I was unsure when ordered and, sure enough, now have yet another regular SD card for one of the cameras, etc.
I'm sure they are coming out - and possibly some actually already have them, but at $115 a shot for a flakey, poorly advertised seller (mine was a previously good company, CellMem.com - which I had bought other things from over the last few years - but they sent a regular SD.) (No, I hate sending things back, so I just can store even more sitlls on my camcorder or digicam I don't use enough....)
Hell, none of the physical stores even had the 2Gb mini when I looked and only started having the 2Gb full sized a month back.
Give it six months and we'll be swimming in 150X 4Gb mini's for $80....and the rumors *then* will be the coming 250X 8 or 16....assuming that's feasible, of course - six months later if not....
Now I need to go get a 2Gb and a handful of cheapy 128's, 256's or 512's for ROM backup and "'xperimentin'".....and replace this DINOSAUR 1Gb I have from Circuit City (which you couldn't get 18 months ago... ) )
OEM Brand 2gig MiniSD here works great too and at $34, works real good. 4gigs comming soon I am sure.
Just wish the developers of WM5 software made better use of the storage.
Transcend 2GB (80x / SLC) works great just out of the box (no format needed)!
Same Transcend 512MB (80x / SLC)...

See? There ya are! The price is incredible too - $45ish
bought singly (much less than price for 1Gb in even cheaper stores).....things change so fast....even the mfg doesn't list those or even the 2Gb!
http://www.adata.com.tw/adata_en/product_detail.php?ProductNo=106
....notice they also didn't even change the labels on the package all the way - hope it isn't a "Photoshop New Offering" hehehe - the pic still shows 60X, not 150X...
Has anyone used these guys before themselves? The names are so familiar with so many of these...
I guess I'll give one of these a try - maybe throw in one of their cheapy 4Gb ipodoids too.....
....why oh WHY! couldn't I have just stuck with buying cars and guns and parts and accessories for those! - now back into electronics!!!!

Dang, someone just got told.
Even though they aren't on the market, AT&T claims the tilt or the Kaiser will support up to a 32 GB microSD card. I'm not so sure if I believe this.
I am looking to upgrade from my 1GB to a 4 or 6 GB card. Has anyone tried a 6 GB card? If so, success / failure ?

Works good here.. One odd issue was that I had to use the included MicroSD adapter stick. I tried another one that was a little older and it reported the media as write-protected. Maybe because it's the super high capacity?
major porn storage
isn't there an issue with the sandisc cards with getting them in and out of the slot and ill fitting or something?
I am using a SanDisk 6gb sdhc card in my kaiser with no issues on insert/remove or the storage side of things. In the UK carphone warehouse have them in stock in their high street shops. I paid £49.99 which was about a tenner over the net price but as we were in the middle of a postal strike at the time I didn't really mind!
Using a 6GB ScanDisc no problems what soever.
There are some other really good threads on this subject all over the Forums.

Anyone know the maximum card size the kaiser/vario3 supports?

Got a 6Gb in since Saturday. Works a treat.
32gb max even though it is not available yet.
Essentially, ANY SDHC card available as of today will work in the Kaiser.
Sweet, god this fone roxs, so pleased i didnt get the limited iphone!
I asked HTC about this when I first bought my Kaiser. They told me it would support up to a 4GB micro SDHC. There have been other posts with people who have successfully installed a 6GB card but have found problems when trying to access files and the phone has locked up, so beware.

I think most of that has to do with crappy quality SD cards.
I've never had a problem with any Sandisk card I've had. 1,2, and 4 GB
The reason for HTCs ascertion is simple. At the time of production of the Kaiser the largest SDHC microSD card available was a 4GB card. Therefore, they could only certify that it worked with 4GB cards at that time. And, as far as persons having issues with their phones locking up while trying to read from a 6GB card, I would venture that no matter which card that person(s) was using they would have experinced a similar fate due to whatever it was they were doing at the time.
That said, I have no reason to believe that SDHC cards up to 32 GB will not be fully supported by the WM6 OSes currently being distributed. Furthermore, I anticipate that future revisions of said OSes will equally compatible.
Hi guys,
Sorry to re-hash this thread, just wondering...
I'm about to buy a TyTN II off a friend in work, and wondering if someone could advise me the best card to buy?
I'm a massive music buff, and love my current hermes, however 8GB isn't enough these days, and itching to have more music to beat the iMoan.
So far, some digging has found me this: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/155755
Would that be suitable for the TyTN II?
Thank you,
I currently have a 8GB Class-4 sandisk card in my Kaiser and it has worked perfectly since I installed it last year. I have some TomTom maps and a load of music and its about 2/3's full. I have been looking for a 16GB but have held off so far. 7Dayshop.com have some 16GB MicroSD cards starting at £32.99 delivered, but these are only Class-2.

According to the information I have, the 8925/Kaiser/Tilt, etc, will support at 32gig microSD card.
From what I've read, the Tilt/Kaiser will support up to a 32 gb, although 16 gb is the largest out.
However, I also read that it will only read at Class 2 speeds. Anyone know if that's actually true? If going to class 6 will give me more speed, I'd definitely go for that when I upgrade my card, but if not, there's no reason to pay more for it.
Anyone know when the 32 gb cards are supposed to come out?
Always buy a Name Brand Card and From a Reputable Dealer and you won't have any problems.
There are a lot of nefarious people out there that trick 2GB cards to act like 8GB cards and by the time you find out, because of locking up and data corruption they are gone with your cash. Don't cheap out when it comes to your data.
