Hello guys,
i just recived my x1 and gonna buy sd card for it, my question is 8GB or 16GB, which one you offer for buy?
P.S. sorry for my ENG
pardon me if i asked my question in wrong section or...
i'm abit newbie on this subforum ;(
Hopefully I'm missing something because the answer seems to be that if you think you will need more than 8GB you should get the 16GB card. Right?
Thanks for the comment, i mean 8GB or 16GB don't make any delay or problems for using X1?
Atm i put a 8GB SD card in my phone, i Encoded some Music videos and seems there's a problem, The Picture and audio is not matched enough, i mean there is some delay in playing and the audio will play after a while that video played.
Hopfully you got me at the right way.
P.S. sorry for my bad english
Just to be sure, incase any other newbie reads this thread, you should get a MicroSD card and not just a regular SD - it will not work.
I personally have a 16GB SanDisk MicroSDHC Class 2 card in my X1.
About the music and video not being in sync, it could be you encoded the files at too high a bit rate (in which case you should use the app that's out there that re-encodes at the right rate and resolution for the X1 - it's posted somewhere prominent on this board) or it could be that your card is too slow (which I seriously doubt) in which case it is the Class that matters more than the size. Plus it could also matter what app you are using to play back the files on the phone itself, be it CorePlayer, WMP, or something else. So there are a lot of possible explanations to explore before you blame it on the card.

I might be coming back to WM world from iPhone in next few days but have a few questions on Diamond2. What is the maximum MicroSD card it can hold. Also, anyone know if it comes with any sat nav software such as CoPilot or anything?
Cheers

Hello,
I don´t know what the maximum is. But here is a link to the faq´s at the HTC Homepage. I have a 16GB card in the diamond2 and it works very well.
I think if HTC say that every microsdhc card works, a 32GB card also works. It only must be a microsdhc 2.0
see on the link http://www.htc.com/europe/faq_detail.aspx?p_id=249&act=faq&cat=0
cant find any 32gb cards anyway lol. Been looking for 16gb and prices are pretty good compared to what I expected.
Thanks for your reply.
Hello xda-users,
I would like to buy a microSD card for my HTC Tattoo,
although i noticed in the market that there are maaaaaaany
microSD cards available without any differences.. (except the capacity)
What i noticed and i was curious about is that when
i tried to bought a microSD from a store here in my neighbour
i looked that a microSD 4GB costs about 15 $ and a microSD 4GB [ULTRA]
costs about 25 $ so i wondered what the difference could it be?
I searched the web [yep, google is my best pal] and i saw that there
were only differences in the data writing/reading speed, and not so
dramatically changes.. just a lil bit. They 've told me that if i wanted
the microSD for my mobile i souldn't get the ULTRA one, but if i wanted
for my camera i should.
So.. what my question is.. If i choose the ULTRA one, will my mobile be "faster" ?
EDIT: i forgot to tell you that i use my mobile mainly as music player
and surfing the web [not for camera usage]
All your opinions are accepted.
Friendly,
Menios
SPEED
I think you shout get the normal one its only necessary if you use it to copy and past many files. i don't think that it give you more speed in your mobile

your english is just fine m8.
Thanks for your advice
I would say - get normal one!
Its 15$ and 25$, difference is almoust twice!
Ok, if u got planty of money, you can take the ultra, I dont know what are actully difference in speed, but mostly u would be using "reading" speed, and when u open ur music player, it reads music files, indexes them etc. It would be slightly faster at reading, but I dont think the difference would be 10$ worth
Post the speeds for boath, if u found them.
Id take ultra if it would be 18$ compared to 15$ normal
P.S. 4GB only? I got 8GB, and Im feeling that I might be to short later I might want to put some movie or something in it
P.P.S. as it would be for camera - you would want all the speed, as when u take pic, u want it to be writen in memory as fast as possible to take another shot, so it might be reason why it would be better for cameras.

Hahaha, thank you for your advice, but as it's the double price, i'll pay 20 $ to take a 16 gb one
Thanks again my friend
20$ to take 16GB ONE? WTF???
I payd... let me count, 18Lats, which is 1Lat=2$, so 36$ for my 8GB one
Ofc I could buy in e-bay, but then I should w8 for a month for it to come... didnt want to wait, so ****s in my country cost alot...
Anyway, no problem

Does your 16GB card work in you Tattoo.
I´ve try two 16GB card and no one of this work in my Tattoo.
They works for a while then I get a message that it´s some error with the card and need to format the card.
The cards works fine in my daugthers Huawei phone so it´s not any wrong with the card exept that it´s not working in my Tattoo
the diference is only in the speed. Usually, these types of cards (ultra) are used in video recorder cams, that need an high rec speed.
So, u should by a normal one
sorry about my bad english
So, which one did u buy? Just wondering...
Today I bought sdhc (what difference sd and sdhc?) 16gb card, and it works fine, But before...
I had 8gb card sdhc and it woks fine until yesterday... Tattoo was running on Froyo, then suddenly hangs on, pulling out battery, starting again... and card is unreadable, my photocam says that it locked(adapter isn't locked), Tattoo don't see it... What the problems with it, does any one know?

Not sure about the ULTRA label, but when i bought i looked at the class of the micro SD card.
Class 2: minimum sustained Data Transfer Speed of 2MB/sec
Class 4: minimum sustained Data Transfer Speed of 4MB/sec
Class 6: minimum sustained Data Transfer Speed of 6MB/sec
Just clarify:
SD cards can not be bigger than 2GB and are slower compared to SDHC which stands for Secure Digital High Capacity.
Having a large capacity and high transfer speed when using apps2sd seemed like a good idea.
I'm not completely sure, how big is the affect how having faster card, but to be on the safe side I went for Transcend 8 GB Class 6 microSDHC.
£10 from UK ebay.

Hi,
I want to buy a micro SD : I have seen that the maximum storage for micro sd was of 16 GB.
Someone has already tested a 32 GB storage card?
If yes, Does it work correctly?
Thanks for your answer.
it's works i don't now how becouse i just test my friends card.
Sorry for my English
Maybe it's was on android 1.6 (max 16), but 2.1 should be supported with 32GB
well, i got my X8 only a week ago, it's my first smartphone.
seriously, what do you guys want to store with 32GB card?
i can't imagine what to store in such space, i figure one could make a portable toilet out of it and still got some more space.
Movies (avi, wmv, etc). HD photos from professional photocameras, hi fi music like wav. Download a lot of stuff with torrent client and else. 32 GB really need for me.

Question was not what I do with all that storage.
Is it possible to have 32GB card in X8 I think that it support up to 16GB ??
I couldn't tell you, because I've bought an 16GB card (class10).
With the price of a 32 GB microSD, I could not fool me.
I think that 32GB is more money then the Phone
You are able to mount 32GB card I've just checked it out but the results are horrible - 500 MB of freshly copied music on the card, and now it is showed as "damaged" on the notification bar. I wouldn't recommend it to you.

I think the X8 will also work extrem slow with a sd card of 16 or 32gb
And with 32Gb class10? The read/write speed is biggest?
I believe that is not a question of card's speed, but more of device's ability to comprehend such a huge space. Just like with enormous hard drives in older computers.
ok.. maybe this out of topic..
what brand of SD card with class 6 or 10??
n where to buy??
im just unable to find it in my country.
in my opinion, 32gb can be handle with very well if this SD card are good.
i mean good SDHC
i found it in my country, designed for camcorder and etc..
but price also different
i just want 8gb with class 10..
currently i have 8gb, no class
my quadrant almost same with droid x, so i think if i have good SD card i can overlap droid x.
where to buy???
32 gb for a phone is a lot of capacity
Im using 32gb sandisk class 2 memory card in my galaxy s initially when it was 2.1 it was slow. But now after 2.2 update its okay. Only startup and shut down process Will take long time. class doesn't matter on phone it matters only when data is to be transferred from pc to phone . Max transfer speed Will be 2mbps in class 2.

there's a lot of good brand to choose actually, personally i'm using transcend.
what city are you in? in Bandung, you can try BEC. i bought mine from kaskus though, it has almost everything we look for
class.. hmm IMO it's unnecessary to use such a high class card. class 6 (6MB/s) is sufficient enough, because android apps are usually not really big, only 10-12 MB at most so no need for such a large data transfer rate.
Has anyone had good success with the 32Gb card? I dont want to buy one if it's just gonna not work properly.
thanks
Won't work
Chances are, it wouldn't work.
The Xperia X8 currently only supports up to 16GB of memory. If you go higher than that you would experience problems. You might be able to make it work for a few minutes then it might not be able to read the mem card.
Hopefully, in future updates we could use 32GB cards.
I've searched around, no walk-arounds on this yet. If I were you, I'd stick with 16GB. That's a lot of storage!
Hi Guys
I'm thinking of getting this phone as my personal phone, I've spent a couple of hours asking LG some questions but the person I talked to didn't seem to know very much in detail about the phone. They did give me a manual however and on it it said that it takes a 64 GB SD card, the guy I talked to said it was micro SDHC, if I'm not mistaken micro SDHC stops at 32 GB and SDXC continues. I was told the maximum speed is class 4 but i wanted to ask you guys can this phone take a class 10 SDXC?. I'm also hoping there might be good development for the phone too, it should be able to handle most things you throw at it right? I'd love to have root for my Cerberus app and maybe unlock the bootloader.
While i talked to the guy i found out that they do something they call VOC (voice of customer) in the support chat, you have to ask for it but they take feedback from you about the phone. Maybe if there is enough of us giving them tips and telling them what we want they might make it happen.
Loving XDA since HTC Hermes :highfive:
SDXC is electrically compatible to SDHC, but they use another partion/storage-system (exFAT) that a SDHC device not knows,
a simple format to FAT32 does the trick
if you have windows you have to use a tool like Fat32format, since windows cannot format this size to fat32
One thing you might want to know is that you can't install apps or move app data to your external micro sd with this phone. So, a 64gb card (or any other card for that matter) will only let you store music, videos, pics, etc., but not apps, at least while there is no root access.
will the 4X be able to read exFat? i'd like to use a 64GB card without formatting it just yet and i don't like the 4GB limit on fat32 i might carry an iso on the sd card or a large movie.
So what's the fastest speed all you guys have with optimus 4x on their sd card? can it read at class 10?
EDIT: Stupid me, i just realised there was a Q & A section. Is there a way for me to move the thread myself? or ask a Mod to do it for me?
Hey guys,
I think that I just found the world's fastest micro sd card for our xperia plays
Sandisk Extreme Pro microSD Card
It has a mind blowing 90MB/s read speed and 95MB/s write speed !!!! but an astonishingly high price tag
What would be some of the advantages of this amazing speed? and could the xp really take full advatage of this speed?
What are some disadvatages if there is any !?
Please post your thoughts on this :good:
I haz the same but 32GB and its waterproof, , It was extrmely cheap on ebay (new) for 28 Euros, And i can tell u that this card vs stock card is much better, eg with my new card games that haz files on sdcard load like 50-80% quicker , Eg Minecraft PE, Theirs also a 64GB Edition like this!, and correct me if im wrong, some guy in XPlay Forums a while ago had a Exteneded batery and he had lots of space under the cover so he got a 128GB sd card, , and he hacked it into it via messing with hardware cables and then he tweaked some software i think and it worked like a charm!
