I just saw a class 10 card for sale at a local electronics store.
Will a class 10 work in my G1? And will the speed increase be noticable?
Haha... was it an SD Card... or was it a MICRO SD card?

Damnit! You're right. I don't have the sales ad. I saw it in so I just went to their website. It was a regular SD.
Man, I feel like an ass. I was all set to go to the other side of town to get one. HA!
I just googled class 8 micro SD and nothing came up. So, is 6 the highest class micro SD?
haha, indeed.
LOL. I just opened this thread thinking, "OMG! How did they come out with a Class 10 MicroSD??? I didnt even hear about class 8!" alas. my nerdism is on point and my excitement over the class 10 MicroSD has turned to the more common state of disenchantment.

couldn't have typed it better myself
And let's not forget that the class has nothing to do with the maximum speed your G1 can access that card, so a class 6 microSD card is not necessarily faster than a class 4.
Actually, there are class 8 Micro SDHC cards, I have one... SanDisk Ultra Mobile series, class8 4GB card, got it at Radio Shack when they had a 50% off sale on all SD cards for $13.
that sale wouldn't still be on would it? and you couldn't ship one over to uk for me could you?
Does the G1 support class 10 sd cards?
Also, using a custom rom, can I partition the card so that a 32 gb sd cards works?
You obviously know something nobody else knows about... where to get a 32GB class 10 uSD card..... link please?

But to answer your question sjbayer3, I'm not sure if the G1 supports it.

Good luck jamming that into a uSD slot.
Its about 4 times too large, physically.
LOL.... I love these threads every few months.
The keyword you have missed OP, is the word micro. Micro carries a LOT of meaning.
either way you guys have been pretty pathetic with answering the questions:
will a 32gb micro sd card work in a g1?
my bad on the micro part... yes class 10 sd cards exist... im unsure if a micro sd class 10 exists

Well you have internet so I'm sure you can google it and find an answer...I know I did. And if you looked at my first post there is a link there that answers the question that YES Class 10 Micro SD cards do exists in 16GB format.
Can the G1 use a 32 gb micro sd card

Nobody really knows the answer to your question. I'm guessing mostly because the 32gb microSD cards are almost worth as much as the dang phone itself. In the meantime, you can buy one and try it....if it works let us know as well.
On every search that I ran on google everyone keeps saying that the G1 doesn't support them.
the g1 should work with all SDHC cards 4gb - 32gb when it comes out

But still nobody will know because they'll probably be like 150 bucks
You could always buy one and see for yourself, I have not heard someone do it yet, but maybe you can and report back to us what you find out
Remember that sdcard and micro sdcard are DIFFERENT...
I ordered one for my hero, if it doesn't work, I'll put it in my camera. It's backordered at the moment... I'll update. I'm pretty sure that the G1 and Hero have the same SD compatibility (2.0) and I think that the class 10 is SD 3.0... so I have doubts
well, i have a class 10 16gb MicroSD Card in my Leo and it's working fine.
Also i have 2 more 16Gb cards (1 x Class 4 and 1 x Class 2), between the Class 2 and Class 4 i don't notice the speed difference when playing around on the phone but i do indeed notice the improvement in speed when using the class 10 one, so my guess is Class 10 will most likely work fine in all HTC phones using that slot form.
Just wanted to drop in and tell everyone about the sd card I bought.

Speed is awesome. I can restore an image from recovery almost 5x faster than the stock card. My hero seems twice as fast just doing day to day stuff. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. I had no idea that the system depends so much on the sd card.
FYI, stock card is class 2 (read 2MB/s). This is class 10 (10MB/s). 8GB is platy for me and you can't beat $17.99 free shipping. I'm getting one more for my wife's intercept.
BTW, incase the listing is gone in the future this was:
Patriot LX (Class 10) 8GB MicroSDHC Flash Memory Card
ASIN: B003SX0OU2
Item model number: PSF4GMCSDHC10
Tested and worked on CDMA HERO under CM6 nightly 87
Nice find, I paid $23 for a 8 gig class 6 just last week. You are right about the speed improvement, I was running a 4 gig class 4 before and I can tell the difference!

This card is amazing! I finally found out why it took so long for the phone to start ringing when the call was coming through. Guess what... I had the ringtone downloaded on the damn stock slow-ass class 2 sd card which took forever to load the sound LOL.
I wonder how many people are having lag issues with their hero not realizing this sd card limit problem.
Hmm I'm debating getting a Class 10 16GB but I might just disable A2SD since I'm pretty sure that the internal memory is faster than a class 2 microSD card.

Yeah, for sure it is. But I don't run apps2sd even on this new class 10 card simply because cm6 has plenty of room for me and it's froyo 2.2 so I can move each app to sd individually. However, ringtones are downloaded to sd (wherever you get them from) and when selected as a ringtone in the main system they are not moved to memory anywhere. They still are executed from the sd card.
Just bought this card from newegg. It was a bit more money but I couldn't find it listed on eBay.
Sent from my Hero running Froyo. Boom.
Do you think class 10 or class 6 is better for speed?

The higher the class, the higher the speed.
The Hero only recognizes up to class 6. If you buy a class 10 sd, it will work, but you'll have the same speeds as a class6.

Really? Good thing I bought an 8gb class 6 instead of a class 10 last night. Haha.. I can't wait though, I get it in about three more days, and paid only $15 with free shipping from ebay. That's good enough for me.

When I'm hooked up to the PC and writing to the card it barely gets over 4 mega bytes/s but when I read from it it caps out at exactly 10 mega bytes/s.
I'm not sure where you are getting your info from but all I'm saying this is what's happening as far as I can tell.
Hmmm... I just thought about that. Between the PC and the hero it should read whatever the class is but not necessarily between the SD and hero itself. I'll have to download the app to test sd speed and see.
Tried 'sd card speed tester' from the market?

Cool I just got a 8GB class 6 with Deca's stable #6 kernel and its so fast
Well... it just died on me!!! Along with all my data on it.
The thing will not respond at all. I might as well be putting my fingernail in the slot. I tried other cards, they mount just fine. I also tried my laptop and still no go.
Patriot memory sucks
Now that I was forced to switch back to the old card I'm getting awesome battery on my phone. I think that card may have been going bad for a while and maybe the phone never went to sleep because it kept trying to mount it. I know the few days before if died it kept dismounting it and I had to rensert it to mount.
Just an observation that battery life could be also related to your card.

I bought a Patriot 4GB class 10th micro SD card for my Hero. I was transfering music to my phone and I noticed it was only going a little above 2 MB/s. I thought that was a little slow so I ran CrystalMark benchmark and got the same result write speed.
To make sure it wasn't my phone, I put the class 10 card in my girlfriends completely stock hero and got the
same exact results. The stock card gets more than double write speed.
Now, taking these cards out of the hero and using a adapter and inserting it into my laptop, results are much better. The class 10 card is outperforming the stock card by nearly double.
Anyone know what's going on?

This would be my guess. I'm assuming your stock was a class 6?

I'm not sure what my stock SD card is but people claim the stock card is class 2, though mines performs like a class 6.
if the Hero only supports up to class 6, does that mean a class 10 will perform slower than a 6.
I rooted and installed nfinite's .7 ROM on my girlfriends hero. Our phones are now identical except for the SD card. While transferring music back to her phone, I noticed it was going even slower than mines, around 1.85 MB/s. Looks like it's the ROM causing the speed issue, hmm.

The stock 2gb card that came in my hero was a class 2, and my hero was purchased a week before the evo came out. I put a class 4 8gb card in the phone and it runs fine... I was going to purchase a class 10, but I'm glad I didn't now.

Just to be clear, it was the ROM which was causing slow SD card performance. I'm now using aospMod and I'm getting nearly 6 MB/s write speed.
Saw this card on Newegg today. Pretty cheap for a Class 10 16GB card and reviewers state it meets Class 10 standards, and that it appears to be a rebranded Samsung card, so it is a quality product.
Android only supports Class 6, meaning this card should be plenty quick, and will utilize full Class 10 potential during file transfers over USB.

Wintec 16gb CL10
Just got the Wintec 16gb CL10 from Newegg, put it in my Sprint Hero to format and as soon as it finish saying setting SD card the screen locked up. removed battery/ installed and saw installed apps icons were gone in its places gear icon. Installed original 8gb and app icons were back but apps came up with FC. removed each app and reinstalled and they work fine now. I'm afraid to put the 16gb back in, it seems fine in my laptop. I have no idea whats wrong!
I got one of these around Christmas. Formatted, partitioned and transferred my stuff. I thought all was well until I had to restore a nandroid and it bootlooped. I put my old 8G Sandisk back in and haven't tried again. So my experience was it worked about a week. I guess it's a write/read issue. I had trouble with recovery mounting the card to even see my backups. I had read reviews of spotty quality and I guess I had the bad luck of the draw.
hmmm ok then I guess i'll pass on this one. I want to get one that'll last so i can transfer it to a new phone when i upgrade.
on htc website, it says microSD 2.0 compatable, & i know some phones can only support so much extra storage, ie: some say microSD up to 16gb, so maybe the hero doesnt support high capasity cards.
anybody got a conformation on how big a microsd card we can go, that wont cause issues.
i was looking @ this card in the OP, but now im double thinking.

32GB class 6,a class 10 card will run at class 6 speeds when mounted in the phone.When unmounted and transferring files from your computer to phone or the opposite.

I bought the wintech 16 gig card back in january and 15 days later I woke up and my phone said the sd card was not formatted. Both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 only saw the card as 1 gig but neither could format it nor create new partition tables. I lost all the data but luckily had a semi recent backup on my computer. RMA'ed it back to newegg and got a 16 gig class 6 card from a more reliable manufacturer.
