I have done it! took me a while but I brought it. its a PNY 32gb and of course I had to hard reset the phone so it can partition it correctly but i didn't mind. the speed is great.
I only had one issue, don't do a battery pull for any reason. I did one for a sim card swap and it damaged the way it interacts with the phone took multiple hard resets to get the card to become recognized again.
I believe our devices since its so hard to swap or upgrade memory we should have been had it. I am thankful that its easy on the Hd7. the class 4 16gb card was fine I thought until i put the 32gb class ten in, apps lauch faster and everything seems to have a pep to it. even downloading things.
I did the same a few months ago everything is working perfect

Thats cool, I know at the beginning of the thread, someone said it may draw too much power and not work, but since you are having no issues, I may be trying this!
All I can say is: don't do it! This card is f**king slow. Sure, if you have passed the acces time everything is working. But the access time feels like half a second!
I have discovered following issues while using a PNY 32 GB Class 10 mircoSD card:
Camera App crash while saving picture
Video capture stuttering in the first second, regardless of quality
Surpreme Shortcuts crash while opening tile on start screen
Everything is loading like there's a Class 4 card in the phone because of high access time
Internet Sharing bug: can't turn off sharing, because phone disconnects from internet but app won't recognize it and thinks it is still connected
Reboot phone 3 times a day because apps that crash on launch won't start again in the same session
i have no problem using this Sandisk 32gb from www.expansys.com
just put on the search box this reference > 219397 the card apears , maybe theres a expansys store in your country
all the best
32GB Samsung Class 10 works well !
Hi,
I've been using a Sandisk 32GB Class 4 in my HD7 for almost one year (not so fast card, top 1.5MB/s in WP Bench), and during last December I was getting reboots and reboots...
So I decided to give a try to another Sandisk microSD card, bug 16GB, still Class 4.
It didn't work at all (even though I formated it with Windows, FAT32). The phone would recognize it once every 5 reboots...
So I put back the 32GB one, formatted with the Phone (vol+ + vol- + power), then it worked, and I could even restore my last backup (as it was the same microSD card).
But 3 days ago, I got some reboots when receiving SMS, I was so fed up that I bought a Samsung 32GB Class 10, after seeing this thread, to give a try.
So I formatted it with SDFormatter, put it in my HD7 last night, and it works really well !!
I did some benchs on my PC with Atto before putting it in my phone, it was running at 10-15MB/s, reading and writing, for 128 or 256KB blocks and more (didn't took a screenshot sorry).
And now in WP Bench the card speed is pretty stable and is running at 8 to 10MB/s, this time, I took a screenshot :

So here it is, Samsung 32GB Class 10 works really well, apps load fast, apps install fast, here are some references :
- where I bought it (France) : PC-Look.com (ref: MB-MSBGA/EU)
- where I saw it first : Amazon.fr (MB-MSBGA/EU)
- one that seems to be the same on Amazon.com (MB-MSBGA/US)
does the PNY reall y work well?
its running under which bootlaoder, i heard bootloader needs to recognise the card first.
class 2 can work fine. I have tried 32gb sandisk class 2 and had no problems at all, and the same speed as the stock card.
Thank you for this, i'm using now the same card as you and it works great
something good.

regardless of what people say the hd7 was a very classy device. and the 32gb option and upgrade option. unlike its other wp7 brothers made it better. I just brought a second one since my screen cracked. just took my 32gb chip with me lol.
I welcome you all to the world of 32g's. I also swapped a digitizer, and mother board alot of trial and error. let me know if you have questions.

I have used my 32g under all bootlloaders. even the dreaded 5.11 but needless to say. it is supported.

Did you do everything normally?
I'll give it a try!!!
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
Thought of sharing this if anyone wants to increase device RAM. I am not selling this product. I find it useful.
It is too expensive though.. Search Play store for Ram Expander. I expanded my RAM with external sdcard crearing a swap fle of 4gb. Now my device avaialble RAM is 6.38gb. It helps apps to load fast and also less lag in system response.
Keep in mind the following when using such a program:
1) All this does is to create a swap file on your SD card, it doesn't increase actual RAM of the device.
2) This can hit your SD card HARD with writes. Each cell in a SD card has a max number of writes it can perform before it wears out. If you use this and create a swap file on your SD card, it will cause the device to wear faster, which could cause the card to go bad faster than it normally would.
3) SD card random write/read speed is much, much slower than system RAM. Random write/read is pretty bad compared to system RAM, so you may not see the performance you are looking for.
Anyone is, of course, free to decided for themselves if it is worth the $9, but for my device I'm not going to take the chance.

Thanks. Wonderful write-up. I didn't realise this fact. Micro sdcard is cheaper now days and worth wearing out.
I have a Note 8 which as of late seems to be developing some issues.
Chief of which is related to the camera. I have a SanDisk 128gb Microsd card in it and I save my photos to it. As of late, many photos and videos don't appear on it. In the gallery, the thumbnails appear grey and if I play a video, it just gives an error saying it can't be played back. Many photos appear to be partially processed as in the top 5% looks ok but everything is greyed out. This is quite aggravating as I'm currently in Dubai and I've taken loads of photos.
Did get buy the SD card from a reputable supplier?
Does the card work fine in other products?
(Many fake SD cards out there, it will show on a computer that you have that amount of memory but most of the files will not save but portray a thumbnai only instead)
I've seen this happen on imitation memory cards where the actual capacity isn't what the card is actually stated to be. With these imitation memory cards (or even flash drives), they will show what the "sold" capacity is but if you stick in a computer & run diagnostics on it with like a benchmark app it will show it's true capacity. Not saying yours is fake but doesn't hurt to check. SanDisk is one of the most faked brands for memory cards & flash drives out there. One of the reasons why I stopped buying them.
Could also be that you sd card is failing or defective. I had a SanDisk in my Note 5 & when it started to get full I was having the same issues as you, photos would show up in the gallery corrupted, part of the photo greyed out. Replaced the card & all was well.
With that said, I would first try replacing the sd card, probably not a phone issue at all but still a possibility.
I stopped using sandisk cards, the last 2 failed miserably

That's the other reason why I stopped buying them. I've had like 3 or 4 in my past phones, they didn't totally fail but they eventually get corrupted & partially unreadable.
I don't remember how I went about buying this.
Is their anyway I can salvage the photos and videos I've taken ? Many photos I've taken have sentimental value so I'd like to recover them if possible.
I've decided to save photos to phone storage (While they get backed up to Google Photos) and move them over to the SD card after a while.
P.S. This is also a fairly recent development. Of the 400 or so photos I've taken, 300 or so are good, it's just the latter which seemingly coming out currupt.
Hello, I just bought a 128gb Adata sd card. When I put it on my phone, is showing 134gb instead of the 128, the format and eject options are greyed out.
If put the SD card on my laptop, it does show the 128gb.
What should I do?
It's normal, some GB goes to administration.. etc
Same here..
pretty normal
Hm sounds wired but if u format it in the computer then. It should not show more available it should show less then 128 and strange the options are grayd out

It´s not normal, instead of showing less space, is showing more than the actual capacity of the SD card.
Found out that the card was a fake. luckily I got a refund from ebay.
Yes that's what I thought
