Max Memory Card size?

Anyone know the maximum card size the kaiser/vario3 supports?
I am thinking about getting a 6Gb microSDHC

Got a 6Gb in since Saturday. Works a treat.

32gb max even though it is not available yet.

Essentially, ANY SDHC card available as of today will work in the Kaiser.

Sweet, god this fone roxs, so pleased i didnt get the limited iphone!

I asked HTC about this when I first bought my Kaiser. They told me it would support up to a 4GB micro SDHC. There have been other posts with people who have successfully installed a 6GB card but have found problems when trying to access files and the phone has locked up, so beware.

8G
I have a Sandisk 8Gig in mine... works perfectly.

I think most of that has to do with crappy quality SD cards.
I've never had a problem with any Sandisk card I've had. 1,2, and 4 GB

The reason for HTCs ascertion is simple. At the time of production of the Kaiser the largest SDHC microSD card available was a 4GB card. Therefore, they could only certify that it worked with 4GB cards at that time. And, as far as persons having issues with their phones locking up while trying to read from a 6GB card, I would venture that no matter which card that person(s) was using they would have experinced a similar fate due to whatever it was they were doing at the time.
That said, I have no reason to believe that SDHC cards up to 32 GB will not be fully supported by the WM6 OSes currently being distributed. Furthermore, I anticipate that future revisions of said OSes will equally compatible.

Hi guys,
Sorry to re-hash this thread, just wondering...
I'm about to buy a TyTN II off a friend in work, and wondering if someone could advise me the best card to buy?
I'm a massive music buff, and love my current hermes, however 8GB isn't enough these days, and itching to have more music to beat the iMoan.
So far, some digging has found me this: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/155755
Would that be suitable for the TyTN II?
Thank you,

I currently have a 8GB Class-4 sandisk card in my Kaiser and it has worked perfectly since I installed it last year. I have some TomTom maps and a load of music and its about 2/3's full. I have been looking for a 16GB but have held off so far. 7Dayshop.com have some 16GB MicroSD cards starting at £32.99 delivered, but these are only Class-2.

According to the information I have, the 8925/Kaiser/Tilt, etc, will support at 32gig microSD card.

From what I've read, the Tilt/Kaiser will support up to a 32 gb, although 16 gb is the largest out.
However, I also read that it will only read at Class 2 speeds. Anyone know if that's actually true? If going to class 6 will give me more speed, I'd definitely go for that when I upgrade my card, but if not, there's no reason to pay more for it.
Anyone know when the 32 gb cards are supposed to come out?

Always buy a Name Brand Card and From a Reputable Dealer and you won't have any problems.
There are a lot of nefarious people out there that trick 2GB cards to act like 8GB cards and by the time you find out, because of locking up and data corruption they are gone with your cash. Don't cheap out when it comes to your data.

micro SD speed Class 2 and Class 4

I have the latest ROM 2.17 intalled on my Sprint Mogul. I am searching for a larger card. I am considering a 4GB card but wanted to know if the speed is factor to consider. My understanding is that class 2 is 2MB/sec while class 4 is 4MB/sec transfer speed. Can the Mogul take advantage of this? Is the speed increase enough to really be noticeable? I am assuming the 512MB card that came with the Mogul is class 2. I cannot find any markings on the card to distingish the class.
Thank you for any help provided.

I know the answer is late...
Hi, don't know if you got an answer to your question or not. I also spent about a good three days trying to track the answer down. I never found it anywhere, called HTC they sent me to Sprint...anyways...the answer that I got was that the Mogul has an average speed of 2Mb/sec; so it may not be necessary to buy a Class 4 or 6 card if it is more expensive. It looks like price for capacity is the only real factor when looking into buying a MicroSD card for the mogul.
If any one can state different (i.e. Mogul able to read/write at a higher rated speed) that would be good to know.

It might really help to have a spare, non-SDHC card in case you need to do a ROM upgrade directly from the microSD card...

kaiser microSD card read/write speed

The company I'm working for gave me an HTC Kaiser as work phone. I had a 2gb microSD card as spare, so Im using it for now. What I'm wondering is the phone's read/write speed.
I am considering to buy a 16gb class 6 microSDHC card, would that be an overkill? (not the size of course, Im going to put a lot music etc, but would class 2 or 4 be enough for it? Also, I liked this phone, but just loved HD2(some use LEO, too. I wonder why HTC uses just too many aliases, anyways). I may buy it, so even a class6 card would be overkill for tytnII, would it be an overkill for hd2, too?
Thanks in advance,

A class 6 is overkill for the Kaiser, but bigger/faster is always better. It is not overkill for the Leo.
Rule of thumb is always buy the biggest/fastest you can afford because you never know what you will be doing with it.
However, remember, if you try to drain a bathtub through a 5 cm hole or you try and drain a lake through a 5 cm hole, the same amount of water will still come out the other side.

[q] micro sd confusion

hey guys
i looked on xda at many micro sd card reviews, speed checks, different peoples advise, and it so mixed.....checking amazon reviews, play.com, and even ebay
bascially i been stung before with ebay fake micro sd`s on my old samsung omnia
i want to go for a 16gb, i seen sandisk have had issues, plus a friend of mine had a problem with a kingston 16gb class 6 as well(on a htc hd desire, slow startup)
so i make this post with one seemingly simple question, what 16gb card should i get lol
what manufacture is most reliable, gives a good speed, and is compatible with my htc hd2, what the consensus
i have seen this, and seems okay?
TEAM 16GB microSDHC Class 10, never hear of team though?????
any advise would be great

I've always used sandisk microsd in my phones and never had a single problem. I had an HTC 3600, HTC Diamond 2 and now on the HD2.
I had a Kingston that gave a few problems, yes. Like sometimes not being recognised or show like empty.
Sandisk all the way.

Go for a sandisk. If you plan on running wp7 or android with the card, go for a sandisk class 2 card. Sandisk should always be the choice when buying a sd card. I have 2 16gb sandisk class 2, 1 32gb sandisk class 2 and 1 sandisk class 4, and a few other sandisk of 8gb and lower, and they all work well with my HD2 (except that one of my older 16gb sandisks doesn't work well with wp7, but the rest work great)

Essentially its gonna come down to you...
With WP7 people have been using sd cards that work OK for others but still have problems themselves...
I have 2x16 GB Sandisk that seem to work ok on Android, a 16gb class 4 Kingston that works OK on all OS's, 2x Top Ram 32gb class 2 that seem to be ok (one is slower than the other which is strange as they are the same batch) and an Adata 32gb class 2 that works brilliantly with WP7.
It seems that sd cards aren't consistantly good or bad.
Good Luck and happy hunting...

TEAM seems to be fine. I am using a 8Gb class 10 TEAM micro sdhc in HD2 for SD Android. Happy with the speed.
BUT don't buy any cards without proper blister package because they are getting relabelled so they can sell it more expensive. For ex.: 8GB micro sdhc class2 ---> 8Gb microsdhc class6 (especially from China)

SD CARDS
hey guys thanks for your responses, i have taken half a risk, i have ordered 2 cards
1 is a Kingmax 16GB Micro SD HC Class 10, not a fake one
and the other is a scan 16GB Sandisk Micro SD Class 6, and also not a fake
the kingmax turned up yesterday(which was the risk), i have installed android(hd2_core_droid_desire dhd v1, and its working super rapid, no issues as yet, fingers crossed but happy with the results upto now.....
still waiting on the sandisk
not sure if i will install windows mobile 7, tempting as it is
but happy with android, just wondering if the class 10 cards might be more greedy on power though......

Yeah, higher class cards are more power hungry... that's why I always stick with class 2 sandisk cards for my phone. Read speeds in the phone are just as good with class 2, so there's no performance loss. I always found that class 2 cards have better random access speed, so they seem to work better for running android. With class 6, I always had the problem in android where after you first turn screen on, it takes a couple seconds before touchscreen would start registering the touch. With class 2 sandisk, that problem rarely happens.
The only thing that's good about higher class cards is when you're transferring a lot of large files to the card from a card reader, they copy to the card faster... they're great for use with digital camera's where you want high write speed, but not really needed for smartphones, as they consume more power and usually have lower random access speed.

hey, i am noticing a slight difference in power drain, well maybe lol i am looking for problems now, and being picky lol........could also be the new version of core_droid ROM(dont know)
i dont seem to get lag on the lock screen/pin screen at start up, still get a second before the screen springs into life from the lock state. but thats just an android thing
sandisk has turned up, but not has time to clone my data onto it, to see if there any difference........

Like I said... higher class cards do drain battery more. And I don't generally have a second before screen turns on or any delays like that, so I don't think its just an android thing.

[Q] About SD Card

Hello
I got my Legend about 2 months ago, and I have a big problem with storage space...
What is the biggest sized SD card the Legend can use?
What is the type of SD card (micro, mini, etc...)
What is SD card class?
Thank you very much

microSD compliant with SD2.0 Standard (aka microSDHC)
The biggest size available currently is 32GB.
I don't know if even more is possible with microSDHC or if bigger cards will only be possible with SD3.0 (aka SDXC) but that question is not relevant as you can't buy any greater then 32GB yet.
The Class of the SDCard is a measurement for guaranteed minimum speed in random read/write.
The Class does not provide any information about real-world speed or max speed.
For your mobile phone the class is a pretty useless criterion as you don't need any guaranteed minimum speeds but good overall speeds ESPECIALLY sequential.
The guaranteed minimum speed is important for HD Video Cameras for example where you write data all the time at a given speed (resolution).

thanks.
but I DO need class with high speed because I want to use Data2Ext...

Don't pick uSD card based on class !! class tels you MB/s for sequential write only... you need a card that is overall fast, I had 16GB class 10 Kingston and data2ext was just horrible!
Now I'm with class 4 Sandisk mobile ultra and it is in fact faster in every test I ran...
So read reviews before you buy

ye but that is exactly why im asking...

well then, I recommend sandisk mobile ultra as I have it and it is OK, there are probably faster cards...just see the small files read / write speeds in reviews those are of greatest importance

i purchased a kingston 8GB class 4 which crapped out. android kept reported sdcard unexpectedly removed. tried all sorts (formatting in windows, android, quick, long, etc).
RMA replacement did exactly the same, so i'm guessing kingston class 4's are best avoided.

If I recall correctly I have a 16GB microSDHC Class 4 card. After applying data2ext with this card, my Quadrant scores hit around 1500, which is crazy.
This is where I found my card: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-16G...P06K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298984123&sr=8-1
I personally recommend this card.

witch is better class 4 or class 6?

class 6 is better , but class 10 is even better

I've got a Sandisk Ultra Mobile 16gb SDHC which works fine in the Legend. Make sure you format it with the phone to stop it being dismounted, well known issue and the fix
