Hello,
i want to buy a bigger SD-Card for my Kaiser but which Size is the biggest that would work in the Phone?
4, 8, 16, 32GB or more???
Which Size are you using???
Thanks for the answers
Mrxdaking
32gb sdhc card is the max you can use.
I'm using a 16Gb.
SanDisk 16 gb, and works perfect.
I'm running a Kingston 16GB SDHC card, so far so good, however I am noticing some problems with Audio Manager with some albums.
Am just putting the music back on, to check if its not just a problem with the original transfers, but it shouldn't be.
Will keep you posted.
Avoid Sandisk 6 GB if you can
I'm using Sandisk 16 GB now and it's working fine. I used to have a Sandisk 6 GB in the same device and that was problematic and kept loosing files 3 times over a period of months so I'd personally avoid a 6 GB card in a TyTN II!
Agree with the above--16GB no problem. I wouldn't even bother with 32GB, they are sooo expensive and so easy to lose
I use an 8 GB sandisk since almost a year and a half and it just works perfectly, never faced any trouble using it
Let's all repeat each other..
I use an 8 GB sandisk and have no problems, also I use an 8 GB sandisk and have also had no problems.
its like deja vu all over again
btw: Did any of you ever notice a different speed with different classes?
e.g. is class4 faster (feeling) than class2 aso.?
I personally can't see any speed drop from 8gb class4 to 16gb class2
I got SanDisk 16gb class 4 in my Kaiser, and it works excellent.
hello,
i have bought 2 16GB (sandisk class 2) micro sd card for my kaisers.
i have 3. 2 htc 1 vodavone.
the 2 htc only see 1 GB
the vodavone kaiser doesn't sees the sd al all.. is there a tweak for the large sdhc or is it something else?
anyone an idea why my kaiser and touch only see less than 1GB of an 16GB microsd?

Not fat32 formatted? Or is it 16, sorry too drunk to remmeber, it's one of those.
so a sdhc card will work in kaiser (Tytn II) ?
Yes, it will.
I was thinking about upgrading from my current Sandisk 16GB c2. As many of you know Sandisk is out with there 32GB c2 MicroSDHC which is selling for $100 by Verizon. But if you look on ebay you can also find other 32gb c2/c4 MicroSDHC from TopRAM and Centon. Now I personally have never heard any of these company so I am very spectacle.
Now my question is which would you go with 32GB c2 or 16GB class c6/c10? To me its storage vs transfer rate.
1) Sandisk 32GB MicroSDHC Class 2 = $100
2) Kingston 16GB MicroSDHC Class 10 = $135
Clearly you should really been far 16GB storage even as decided to use even go want to do look more like 32GB transfer rate?
FYI 16gb class 10 Kingston is $98.99 over @ newegg and if you look hard enough u can find it around $79
I am not sure what you are saying but some claims that the Sandisk 32GB C2 they get around 5mb/s write. So IDK ATM as Kingston 32GB Class 6 is selling for $700 on ebay WTF? Last time I check they didn't even have 32GB class 2, could be fake who knows.

I am aware of that as they been had it for sometimes now but I was more leading to 32GB but who knows if I do decide to go with 16GB I might go with C10 from Kingston.
But has anyone tried TopRAM 32GB Class 4 or Centon 32GB Class 4? If so is it thoughly tested via R/W IOPs and fully chunking the card.

You cant go wrong with ScanDisk
its a safe bet
ilordvader could you test the R/W speed of your card and post back.
So after searching and reading many threads in various forums I came to the conclusion that even class 6 is an overkill so class 10 is out of the question other than bragging rights.
Now has anyone used Transcend or A-Data? they seem to be selling at Newegg so they can't be questionable unknown like TopRAM or Centon which I never even heard of until I was searching for MicroSDHC.
Anyone recommend any 16GB class 6 cards? I am still unsure on not ordering SanDisk 32GB Class 2 as storage is high but the speed is low. As majority of user who running Android port do recommend getting anything over class 2.
Extreme candidates:
Sandisk 32GB MicroSDHC Class 2 - $100 < Storage
Kingston 16GB MicroSDHC Class 10 - $135 < Speed
Are these the only reputable 16GB Class 6 candidates?
A-Data 16GB Class 6 - $53.99
Transcend 16GB Class 6 - $62.99
Lexar 16GB Class 6 - $69.99 < Questionable; produce inferior products
Has anyone heard of these company before?
Centon 16GB Class 6 - $58.99 < Questionable; but listed under Newegg
3C_Pro 16GB Class 6 - $44.99
TOPRAM 16GB Class 6 - $44.99
Team 16GB Class 6 - $44.99
i bought this. Komputerbay 32GB MicroSD SDHC Microsdhc Class 6. £88, which was preety steep.
i get read speads of around 3.5 mb/s and write speeds of 4.5 mb/s, i cant find my 2 speed to compare but it does seem quicker.
though the web site gaurantees minimum 6 mb/s write speeds.
it was amazon so i though it would be ok.
edit.
just tested it again i am getting 6 mb/s read speeds now.
johnwalk did you thoroughly test the card? by formatting and filling it up fully with chunks? if you can confirm its overall performance then I might also order it. Can't wait for other vendors to make it as I need it now. On class 2 card it takes like 30min to just move around 4.5gb now that's way to long for me as I'm always on the go, but thanks for your reply as ill look in to that company.
I don't want to spoil anything, but my HD2 just destroyed my 8GB Sandisk card. 'Luckily' this was not a $100 card, but still.......
Are you shure you want to spent that much, or did you never have your previous card(s) being destroyed?
Wish you goodluck anyway
i just formated it normally the filled it up with music and video still got two gigs left im like a dog with two tails i dont know what to listen to first lol. but the tests i done with it was when it was 28 gigs full only had it two weeks and at first it was slow, especially when you went into the music player it took a few seconds to update but hey a lot of files to browse but its been ok the past few days, but im now at the stage where i dont plug it into my computer anyway i just access my pc and transfer albums by wifi takes about a minute an album, any video usually gets streamed anyway, but wanted a bigger selection when i go on holiday next month.
def recomend this card thougth the first few days i thought i should have gone for the class two, im now happy with it now it all working properly.
I'm at work now and in an hour when I go home ill thoroughly look in to this card and post my finding. As I never even have heard of the company and if I like it ill post feedback here so others can buy it with confidence.
Far as flr goes how did HD2 destroy your card? corrupted the data? or the flash device is unreadable fully? BTW I never needed an flash card before as this is my first smartphone. Also I was welling to spend $750 few months before HD2 was officially deployed in USA. So I'm not worried about $100.
PS: Also have an eye on HD3 as the spec is 90% accurate from my guess after looking at the specs. So let's see what happens as I don't want a device which may have 2 versions, hence EU-Leo512 and EU-Leo1024.
off topic but im seriously looking into the new batch of android tablets which are just coming out now, maybe 7" or 10"

Hope the HD3 is for Att this time
I've got up to 14.7 MB/sec on my 16GB Kingston Class 10.. and my phone works soo smooth now!
Compared android sliding of homepage on my 2GB Class 2 card and my 16GB Class 10 card, and there is some lag with the 2GB card, and none at all (100% realtime) with the 16GB card..
So, personally I'd say; save some exrtra bucks and go for the 16GB Class 10 Kingston one!
@HyperNode
There are several threads here regarding SD cards being destroyed, or whatever description is given to it.
From one moment to another you get the message that you're card has to be formatted. If you accept it, it says something like (only) 30 MB being available, which doesn't get formatted. Your card can no longer be seen by your HD2, nor by your PC or any other cardreader (afaik)
I´ve never had this problem before. It looks like a specific HD2 problem.
Either with or without a combination to a specific brand or card.
I'm very curious about your experiences.
Please keep us updated.
Thanks and goodluck!
Same here. Mythen hd 2 just destroyed my SD card des SYstem ago
It happened already bevor, Thatcher i couldn't See Thema data anymore , but nie i Cantel even Format it anymore

I've been looking around Tiger Direct and NewEgg in search of a class 10 card to use but the only ones I find have warnings from previous buyers saying they don't achieve the rated speeds. I'm using a class 4 card right now with the 3.0 image and it's super slow to load. Can any of you link me the cards that you're using?
Thanks in advance

I am using a Transcend class 6 8GB from Newegg. Very fast...
Ditto. Transcend Class 6 8gb. work wonderfully (remember 16gb cards do nto work with froyo).
another vote for Transcend Class 6 8GB. And, stay away from Kingston Class4.
I'm using a Sandisk 16 gig Class 2 (that came with my Storm2) for Froyo.
I have a Sandisk 8gig Class 4 (purchased at Best Buy) for Honeycomb.
They perform great.
Beware of the CLASS rating.. it doesn't always tell the truth.
I have "generic" no-name made in japan Class 4 cards (an 8gig came with my Devour, and a 16 gig came with my X) that do not perform anywhere close to the two sandisks!!
Newegg, Patriot class 10 16GB.
Transcend here too. Class 6 4GB and 8GB cards.
Another happy Transcend 8GB Class 6 user here. Works well for Nookie Froyo and Honeycomb.
Thanks so much for all the feedback, guys I just ordered that 8GB Transcend Class 6 card since that seemed to get the most consensus here. Can't wait to try out Honeycomb with it!
im curious to know which one you bought and how well it works. let me know.
I bought the only Transcend 8gb Class 6 card I could find on the site, so I assume it's the right one. I'll post back here next week after I've received it and tested it out.
Hoping it's better than the Patriot Class 4 card I'm using now.. that thing is unbearable.

I'm using a Wintec Filemate 16 gb class 10 in my droid x, running liberty rom on Froyo. No problems at all, and one of my apps measures 3.6mb/s write speed and 4.9mb/s read speed.. Don't know if that's sufficient or not but I haven't noticed any lag with it.

I'm using a Adata 8gb Class 6 card and enjoying Honeycomb.
That Honeycomb v4 build is pretty great, though I'm still having major issues with getting the Market to work. Other than that one quibble, its running fantastic - zippity too.
Transcend 8g from amazon class 6. No issues.
Tried Sandisk 4g class 4 very laggy.
Fry's has a Patriot 16GB Class 10 for $45 and it's in stock in the store near me (Austin, TX). Any comments on that? I seem to be seeing a mixed message on whether Froyo and/or Honeycomb will work with a 16GB card, though. I currently have a 4GB card that I'm using to hold a few things for my rooted stock B&N 1.1 firmware, but I'm interested in trying out Honeycomb and don't want to disturb that one.

I tried the Patriot 16gb C4 and it was slow. After 2 other 16gb would not work, I didn't want to return to Fry's and get another. The Patriot 8gb class 10 works like a charm.

Huh ? I never heard of this before. Is this true ?
purchased the 8Gb transcen because of this thread
I just put one of the CM nightly builds (build38) on a uSD card (sandisk 16gb class 2) and there is a major lag to even enjoy the device. I have been reading about that sometimes class numbers on the cards don't mean too much.
Which card would you recommend to run CM from (Brand/class/where to buy) from your experience?
any class 6 card should be plenty enough (as long as it has enough room for the ROM and stuff) even class 4 should work much better (but still some lag i beleive, idk ive never tried it)
newegg is a pretty good place to shop for them. Heres one such card - newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211341&cm_re=8gb_micro_sd_card-_-20-211-341-_-Product
There is a long thread about this on here and the class 6 Transcend 8GB card got the most mentions for good perfomance. The probability for issues to arise increases when using cards over 8GB.
I have a class 2 Sandisk 8GB and class 6 Transcend 8GB card. They both work well.
I have been buying the Wintec cards from newegg for a couple months and run them in both my captivate and my nook they work awesome. Class 10 and fast. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161411

I used that card for HC v4 and it was fine.
I've got 4 uSD card: one Dane-Elec 2G no class, one Kingston 2G no-class, one Transend 4GB class 6 and one PNY 8GB class 4. All run CM7 very well, maybe I didn't pay attention but didn't notice much different in performance. In benchmark, the write speed is about 5-7 MB/s.
The higher capactity 16GB card seems to have more problems, other than that every card will do.
You should check into the random read/write performance of small files on these cards. sometimes the class 6 or 10 aren't all they are cracked up to be. Fast transfers of large file yes, but general performance can suck.
sandisk class 2 or 4 cards can have excellent perf. I have a class 10 that is outperformed by class 2/4 and 6 cards.
if you are having problems with crashing, etc. try a basic sandisk and see if perf. is better.
there is a thread about it but i can never find it.
My 16 gig kingston filled up quite rapidly after 2 weeks so I'm looking in getting a 32 or 64 micro sd but not sure what I shall get.
I see theres sdhc sdxc but not sure whats the differences.
I read theres issues with sandisk so I was thinking of either samsung lexar or kingston.
Also does the note 2 use the class 10 cards to its fullest as in its max read/write speeds?
I've read its pointless paying extra for the class 10 cards since the note2 dont use it to the fullest
Thanks in advance for any replies

either buy 32gb or 64gb any company OTHER THAN SCANDISK ............................it Sucks big time. i have scandisk 32gb and it keeps on unmounting mounting every now and than .
sandisk 64gb class 10
The Note II can use a 64 gb sdcard. I would only use a class 10. Its way quicker tranferring files, or taking videos. Also you can use SD-Booster. Download from the Play Store. Its free. You can tell the sdcard at what speed to be ruiing at. 2048, 4096, etc, etc. Phone must be rooted to use.

I have and currently use the ScanDisk Extreme 64GB SDXC class 10 card. I haven't had, or at least noticed, any issues while using it. I just formatted the card right away when I installed in the phone.
You may want to install directorybind. I believe you need root. A lot of app install on the phone's storage, not on the SDcard. So you may want to check if your card or phone storage filled up. Other than that, I would suggest moving pictures and videos off your phone if you have a lot.

If you use a swap file on the SD card, it will go bad way faster than normal. I avoid using the card for a swap file.

Lexar
I've been using a Lexar 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC card for many months. Both in the Note 2 and previously to that in an S3 -- no issues ever. No crashes, no unmounts, no corruption, etc.
I got mine when amazon had them for $40. I got two. One is in a tablet, no issues. The one in the GN2, I originally put in my Evo 4G and it worked fine; it couldn't get class 10 speed, but worked very well with Boot Manager
Thanks for all the replies
I just bought a kingston 64gb sdxc class 10 earlier @ frys for $40 after tax.

Get a Samsung branded one to avoid the mounting and unmounting problems. Ivd go that route when my 32gb dies.
