4GB SD Cards compatible with Alpine?

Hi
Does anyone know if 4GB SD Cards work in the Alpine? Especially, the Transcend 4GB 150X Cards?
BTW, I have had the 1.04 ROM for quite some time now, and I have noticed some problems compared to the previous ROM. The device sometimes locks up when going in to flight-mode and then switching the phone back on. Also, sometimes the wireless does not switch on. Anybody else had any issues?
Thanks

dont know about 4GB..... im using 1GB from Kingston...working fine....
dont have any problem but not very happy about bluetooth...
thanks

Yes, it is compatible.
Using Trahscend 4G 150x for 2 months already - no problem (except too few USB card readers understands >2G cards)

Great! Thanks....just what I needed
I found it for £150 so good price too! w00t

Where did you find it at this price? The mutt chewed mine up and I need a new one.
Cheers, Pug.

Unlucky about the dog lol. My goldfish may be boring, but it doesn't destroy my £150 SD Cards!!!
I just checked now, and it seems the price has gone up to £160.
If you are still interested, here is the link:

I recommend you order by phone. I bought about 100 256mb Transcend SD Cards off them before, and they were reliable. Dirt cheap for all kinds of memory too! Free shipping as well!

[Q] can I change the 8gb micros sd card for a 16gb ?

Hi, I want a HTC HD7 but 8Gb are too little for me. I learned that we could change the micro sd card and i want to know if we can change this card with a card with more capacity. Thanks.

I believe that you can but the card have to be class 2 for it to work

Ok, thanks you and is anybody tried this ?

Yes, but Windows Phone 7 devices require you to open them because most of the devices do not allow swapping of memory so easily.

Yes I know, I have watched a video. I just want to know if it's possible or not and if anybody tried this ?

yep tried it. had 13 random cards 1 traveler, 1 hama and the rest were sandisk from 2 to 32 gb. all of them worked.
but attention: just look out for a friend with a symbian phone because this is the only way to reformat this cards if they dont work in the hd7!!!
and please dont do it if you just want a 16 gb hd7. only change the card if you dont have enough space on it.
you also have to hard reset the phone!
and mybee there are problems with the warranty!!!!
wrote an article about this but its in german

Hi I have a HTC HD 7 on O2 UK and it came with a 14gb memory....

Hello, I am not trying to troll or be rude. How is 8gb to little?
Alot of music/video?
Or are the applications doing it?
I order an 8GB venue pro and immediately regretted it so I was wondering.

because of this i wrote "and please dont do it if you just want a 16 gb hd7. only change the card if you dont have enough space on it."
i did it because i wanted to disassembly anyways

i thought the hd7 doesnt have a card slot :/

Hence, I said yes. Pay attention
You can swap memory with any Windows Phone 7 device. Some are difficult then others and you void warranty. Also once you switch memory, you need to perform (as a person stated before me) a hard reset.

Ok I understand so, you say that all the cards you've tried work? even up to 32 Gb? and I did not understand why you say not to do if I want a 16 GB HD7?

not with any wp7 device!
the sd card in the samsung omnia 7 as example is soldered on the board

Well then, most.

Might want to mention where you are located. Tmobile's USA HD7 came with 16gb. Buddy of mine swapped out for the 32gb Sandisk Class 2 without any issues.

[Q] Recommendations for a new SDcard for XT720

My Korean Motoroli seems to be having big problems with the SDcard recently. Originally I had the factory-issued no-name 8gig class 4 in it and now I have some other no-name brand 16gig class 8 in it, but the problems still remain.
The phone will either "loose" many photos when I use the camera (not writing them to the card) or will even sometimes go to a black screen and then just reboot. Sometimes it even just simply hard-locks the phone requiring me to pull the battery.
What recommended bands/class of sdcard would fix this? Or is the problem something else?

Have you tried reformatting? Or scanning the disk for bad sectors?

Can I ask which ROM you are using? What sort of modifications youve done to the phone? I myself use the stock class 2 8GB and have never had many problems. Since you have the problem on multiple SDcards, it seems like a hardware problem. Bit if you are using a customROM, maybe somethings messing up there. More information would be helpful.

I have the official, stock 2.2.1 rom (SKT_N_79.33.50R). I've rooted the phone and I've used Motomizer One-Click Optimizier on it.

Hi!
I had the same issues. Also with the stock card and with a no name 16GB card.
Have bought a Samsung 8GB class6 PLUS card from here
Since I´m using this card. I haven´t had any problems. Phone is slidly faster and very stable now. No reboots. Apps2sd is working fine.

That´s absolutely true.
Will try ext4 in the next days.

Okay, looks like that's the card I should buy. I found a Korean source for it here: http://item.gmarket.co.kr/detailview/Item.asp?goodscode=216437760
Hopefully It might fix some of my problems...

Well, I got the new SDcard (see above) and it seems to be a little better (slightly more responsive)... but the phone still locks up and and/or reboots when I take a photo sometimes. The chance of it happening seems to be less now, but it's still likely to happen.
Any other ideas? Have any other users had a similar problem to this?

Hey check out this thread (see my post #19). A good conversation about cards and classes. Maybe read before you buy and commit.

Card type and class has much to do with camera quality and also video too.

Surprised there isn't more talk about this issue with all the sdcard issues we have. With HD recording and an 8mpxl camera it seems we need a better class card, I need to get a couple for my phones and I am trying to find the best buy on a samsung. My question for anyone who has experience is if I spend the money on a class 10 samsung, is it going to make a big noticeable difference? Will it stop a lot of the issues or is the issue more related to Android and even more so with XT720? Is there anyone who has upgraded who can answer? Seems it will but I would hate to spend the money and not get much improvement.

I am currently using a Samsung Class 10 16GB card that I ordered somewhere online. My main Issue always was with transferring media and this card tackles the problem with ease, I do not get black screen problems anymore. The camera seemed ok with no major differences that I noticed, but usual camera freezes have reduced. Overall I would suggest an upgrade.

It's the same for me. Since 1 day I replaced my stock 8gb sdcard by a lexar 8gb class 10 and no more problem to transfer (hope it will continue) and video record under cm7.2 is smooth.

No,black screen issues are very rare. But have to admit they tend to happen at times,though negligible.

Hi maruki, does it fix your sd card problem. I am also experiencing sd card problem when taking photographs or any activity that will require writing to sd card. (Downloading, etc) I am also suspecting it is a sd card issue and hoping the problem is not on our device. I also plan to buy new one since I am using the stock mem card that comes with the unit. I want to know if it worked for you.
by the way, setting the camera to lower resolution seems to fix the sd card writing failure in my case.

there is new type of sd card, UHS-1 which seem to to deliver a very high speed and write, topping any current sd card in market now as decribed here: http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/05/samsung-ultra-high-speed-microsd/
maybe when it's available I'll purchased one, also the best thing is that it can be used for swap ram to fix xt720 low ram problem. do you think so?
but I'm also not sure if these uhs-1 cards are compatible with xt 720 or not. If anyone plans to buy one when it's available please review after that i'll also do a review when I get one.

class 10
buy a class 10 memory card

UPDATE: 64GB micro SDXC card DOES work in LG Optimus 2x

Hi,
I tested 64GB mircro SDXC in my LG 2x (Modaco rom Gr6 and HP 2x kernel RC12-R) and it DOES NOT work
I was able to format the card to FAT32 in the phone, but when I try to mount it, the phone restarts itself.
If anyone else has different experience, please share.
BTW the card is SDSDQY-064G-U46A
UPDATE:
I managed to fix it. I'm not sure which steps were actually necessary but just to be sure I list them all.
First I tried NicomUA's idea of splitting the patritions in two 32GB. For that I used Paragon Partition Manager 11 Free. And IT WORKED! I made two partitions. I was able to access the first one in the phone, but I could not format or edit the second one neither in the PPM anymore.
So I used SDFormatter 3.1 and reformated the card into its original state with option "Format size adjustment".
Then I checked the partition structure again in PPM. It was exFAT, but with 16MB free space at the beginning.
I formated it to FAT 32 and resized it to 32GB (Now I made only one partition and left the rest of the space unallocated). It worked in the phone.
So I tried to resize the partion to see how far I can go. 32GB worked in my phone. 33GB worked in my phone! And suddenly whole 64GB worked in my phone!!!
I filled the card with movies and music to the max and tested if I can really access the content and YES, I was able to play anything on the card!

May be the limit is 32GB ??
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA

Officially, the limit is 32gb. I've seen mods that enable sd cards with higher capacity than the official limit on other phones, but sadly, I don't think there's one yet for the 2x.

yeah, exactly what the other users said on above posts. i also tried it a week ago, in cyanogenmod 9 and it does not detect the sd card (no reboot happened to me, simply doesn't detect it). Let's hope someone release a mod soon for this... 32 gb is nothing... :|

Well I got 1 Gb and it's ok , just kidding.

Try to make one 31Gb(or less then 32Gb) partition on SD card. It can start work.

Not made for SCXC
i dont think making 2 partition will work ,the SD card reader is made for SHHC (high capacity ) not for SDXC (Xtrem capactity ) ,so i thing it's a hardware problem

New info. Read in the first post...

Thanks for the info ! it's a very good thing to know !

Friggin... awesome...!

Guys I have found this Sandisk 64 Gb Micro sdxc....its really cheap
http://www.ebay.in/itm/SANDISK-64GB...E-PRICE-FREE-SHIPPING-ALL-INDIA-/150795837120
Should I buy this and what are the chances that it will work with our O2x
And according to this
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
it says it performs even worse than a class 2 sdhc card in random 4k write speed
So, what would you advice should I buy 64 Gb or a 32 Gb Class 10???
Thanx in advance

Oh boy! Gotta try it out.. 64 grams is impressive..

I would prefer the 32gb class 10 for the speed... also 32gb is plenty of room to fill... class 2 is very low speed and could interfere with the recording of videos for example in 1080p... I think...
Cheers

wow that's great news. thnx.

has anyone tried the 64 gb in O2x or any other android for that matter???
i am in a dilemma here whether to buy 32 gb class 10 or the sandisk 64 gb?
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

go for the faster 32 gig. you will be sorry if you get the 64 gig card only to see that it cant read /write your huge files fast enough.

I think m gonna wait for a month as my exams are round the corner..
but i'll definetely buy a sandisk mobile ultra as it has the best benchmarks
B/w Has anyone else got or tried the 64 GB card in optimus 2x??? Plz reply guyz...
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

Anybody besides the OP has managed to do this ? I've tried for weeks, I give up.
Used two cards, both SDXC 64GB, the SanDisk Ultra Mobile and a no-brand one from Amazon.
I used two different Optimus 2X, one running CM7, another running CM9.
The cards can't be formatted in the phones, they are simply not recognized at all.
I formatted them in Linux and Mac OS X, always FAT32, and always made a partition smaller than 32GB first, then tried ExFAT, full or bigger partitions, unallocated space in part or all, anything really. Nothing works.
Edit : the cards are fine, I can use then in Macs, PCs, DSLR and even a Galaxy Note. No problem.
Any ideas ? I'd think it's just not possible and the O2X hardware doesn't support SDXC, just SDHC, that's why I'm asking if anyone else can comment.

32gb microsd not detecting

I was talking to my relatives about memory cards. He has a problem with his Note N7105 not detecting this Sandisk Ultra 32 GB Class 10 microsd. As far as I know he is using stock. I'm not sure whether or not if there something wrong with the memory card or a capaibility with android not detecting exFAT?
I'm sorry if the language from the screenshot is Chinese.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22138818/1357447542788.jpg

I don't believe there would be any issue with exFat... Maybe the card is corrupt? Are you able to format it from a computer?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah..try formatting it on the phone & on the pc..maybe look for software that can analyse the card..
..sent from my Behemoth N7100..

try it on another device is also anohter easy way

Thanks. I have already let my relatives know about your suggestions.
