since my activesync will not install on my computer, ive been looking for alternate methods to get music and movies on my tilt. i have a 1gig microsd right now and i just need an adapter for the sd slot on my computer. can someone tell me if the adapter that comes with http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/SanDisk-128MB-TransFlash-Memory-SDQCJP128A10/sem/rpsm/oid/100001/catOid/-16201/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
will work with my card? im just not sure what the difference between transflash and microsd is.
Try this instead.

A couple dollars more but you get the right adapter.
so the circuit city one wont work? its just that im completely broke right now and i had a gift card for cc. i know 8 dollars is really affordable, but thats like a lot for me right now.
why not just use wm5storage, with the softick card export drivers. it allows you to use ur device as a usb mass storage device
For all practical purposes TransFlash and MicroSD are the same. However, with the free shipping that 1GB card from Supermediastore makes much more sense. (I've bought a bunch of stuff from them, they're very reliable.)
edit: I see now that you're only looking for the adapter. The CC one should work fine.
An SD adapter will work. You can just go get it and try it out and if for some reason it doesnt work..take it back to CC.
thanks for all the help guys. im gonna try that wm5storage first and if that doesnt work ill buy the cc adapter. thanks!
Softick Card Export
I use Softick Card Export and it works great. It basically makes your phone a microSD card reader and shows up as a removable device in windows. It's not free but $15 isn't bad.

Beware of this card! I have the 2GB version and it is SLOW (in the phone and with the adapter). It is a class 2 = minimum 2mb/s transfers.
Go with something like this or this that is much faster. We're talking ~9-12mb/s

Why do you need it?
To replace the 16gb card that comes with it

But why do you need to replace it?
To get more memory! why else? lol
I dont anyone has had a problem with the san disk class 2 cards, I might try the mymemory own branded class 4 card and see if it works though.

What homer.web said. I had a 32GB Sandisk card ready and waiting for my HD7, but I tried living with the inbuilt 16GB, found that I could very easily, and returned the 32GB card to Amazon.
Trust us, you don't need 32GB. Just use the phone and you'll see what we mean.

Have you already ran out of free space? I am just trying to find out, what is the reason, that drives you to dismantle your phone, void your warranty and spend cuple hundreds of bucks for the SD Card. I just don't get it... As you said, lol...
Yeh, I have 26gb of music, I dont want to have to sift through and decide what I want, I want all of it.
And it you dont have to void to warrenty to do it, so why not.

Well, I have about 50GB of music and I have bought 160GB iPod to have everything with me in my BMW with iPod connector. Its for nothing. I have foud myself listen only to a fraction of the music. And it just slows down the iDrive control and makes it difficult to find something. So with the WP7 I was not lazy and picked up just the selection of my favorite music and synchronized it with the HD7. Its easy and if I want to add something I just drag and drop it on the phone icon.
As Jim Colleman said: Just use your phone, and time will show, if its necessary to do it...

actually, if you have to send your phone in, it will void the warranty unless you put the stock card back in. That means opening your phone twice, which doubles the chance of breaking something.
To the OP: I haven't read a single story of someone successfully using a kingston card in a hd7.
Some people dont want to carry a seperate iPod, why do you need to say something everytime someone wants to upgrade the memory, he didnt ask why he shouldnt do it.
It can be done, and when it works its fine and you have more space for videos and music, why is this a bad thing, there are no draw backs to everyday usage if it works. Let people get on with doing it.
I have very limited computer abilities and want to use CM7 when my Nook Color arrives. I want to purchase a Sandisk SD card that is already programmed with CM 7 (unless there is a better version available) and is "overclocked" and all I have to do is put it in and turn on the NC.. I need to know if anyone can recommend someone who sells the proper classed card and "no brainer" directions. I have waited several months to save the money for the NC and want to be running as efficiently as possible.
PS- I did try to find the answer on here before I typed this and could not get through the massive amount of info on here.. This forum is wonderful and thanks to all who are so willing to help those of us that are struggling a bit..
Thank you ahead of time.

Im a kid so I can't sell mine and I looked around and couldn't find any. I think your best bet is to set asid your fears and start learning the world of uSD cards.
Doesn't get an easier than this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
The worst that can happen is you mess up and have to reformat the SD and start again.
Also, I found it easier to do gapps at the same time as the CM7 install. After CM7 boots just touch the 4 corners, starting in the upper left and go clockwise, to exit the setup wizard, setup your wifi and then add your google account.

There are such cards available for sale at other sites (and based on work of xda people), but if you've saved up to buy the NC, you know that money doesn't grow on trees. I think your best bet is to use the link in post #3 here. First buy a SanDisk class 2 or 4 (at most) 2, 4 or 8G micro sd card. The brand and class are important, but GB size is not, although smaller ones are very cheap now. I got an 8G at amazon for about $10.
You can follow the steps on that link, and will probably have questions as you do. I did, and people here were very nice to answer quickly and everything went great. It's really more fun that way, and I think you'll do fine.
Here are a couple more links that I found very helpful, in addition to the main one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4nenR-mNo0
http://quinxy.com/2011/04/01/comple...c4-android-2-3-gingerbread-on-the-nook-color/
If you make an mistakes along the way, it's only the sd card and you can start over. Your NC system is untouched. Good luck!
The risk of buying a pre-loaded card from ebay/craiglist/etc is that you won't have had the first-hand experience of setting up CM7 under your belt. Eventually you'll want to replace/update the ROM for some reason at which point you'll need to learn the procedure anyway.
Given the strength of the NC community here, please consider trying your hand at doing it yourself. Folks here will be more than happy to help you out.
The help the process along a little bit, can you let us know what type of computer you're using and what it's running? (Mac vs Windows, Windows XP, Vista, 7, etc.)
One more tidbit, in terms of compatible sd cards, as others have already said, the Sandisk Class 2/4 microSDHC are very good for this work. Amazon, Walmart, Radio Shack, Office Depot all have these at very reasonable prices, so take your pick where to get it from. I would suggest getting an 8gb right off the bat, the 4gb feels small very quickly.
Thank you so much.. I will give it a try myself.. I have an Acer laptop running Windows 7. I appreciate all the input. I will order a Sandisk 8 MG Class 4 Micro SD card today..
Be sure to get the micro-SD to SD adapter unless your computer has a micro-SD port. Costco has 8 GB cards with adapter for a good price (they were on sale a few weeks ago).

Also make sure the SD reader/adapter is HC compatible. I have an older multi-card reader and Patriot brand micro SD to full size SD adapter and it was driving me crazy trying to figure out why I couldn't get either to get the computer to even detect a brand new Sandisk 8gb micro SDHC card.
another issue you might run into tho is that i found my laptops built in SD reader had issues and apparently others found the same thing too.. youmay have to find a friend with a component SD reader
We have a Soyo Bayone Extreme 9 in 1 media Card reader/writer combo, would that work?

Coincidentally, I also have an Acer laptop w Win7, with sd card reader slot at the front. I ordered this card: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B1AR50. If your Acer is like mine, you do need the adapter, which often comes with micro cards, to read them. Lots of other good advice from members here.
It should work, you will still need a microSD to SD adapter (comes with a lot of microSD cards)
I have a MicroSd card and adapter from Sandisk thanks again guys..
You can do it. We all had to do it a first time too and the support here is great!
I actually ran it off of the sd card first to see if I liked it. Then I flashed it to the onboard memory.
Don't forget to register it before you flash it. After that you just use a google account for the market.
Good luck!
I appreciate all the help. I may be returning my unit due to an unexpected $2000.00 bill for some electrical work. I have to be a big girl and and wear my big girl panties..lol

This moves it up to the next level: Jack-Assery!
Technically, they are not charging for CM7 - they are charging for the SD Card and the time it takes to prepare the card, right? If so, I don't think it's such a bad thing... As long as they give credit to the CM7 team, that is!
Hey Everyone,
I just got my Xperia T & I know it has enough memory of 16gb on the phone but I just wanted to slap in a Class 10 8gb card that I had as well & my card doesn't click into the slot. Man I don't want to be opening a new phone to fix this. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks
Moe

The card should go in with the writting towards the back of the phone and and the wobbly edge towards the bottom of the phone.
I have a samsung 32gb class 10 and it fits in fine. With this card the writting is upsaide when i put it in
That's how it is dude, like I said the card goes into the slot but just doesn't stay it pushes out. The micro sim clicks in fine?

tried that dude & it still didn't work so didn't want to break anything inside by putting more force into it. Anyway thanks for your help will try getting it checked out and if it won't get fixed last option is to sell this one and i guess get another one.
