I just got the gs2 and wanted to see if the hero's stock sdcard is at least a class 4 so i can switch it over to my gs2. It does not say the class on the htc hero microsd.
And you think someone here will know? Nobody knows how or where you got it from, where they got it from, or if the card was replaced and/or by who. You're asking an impossible question. From what I understand there are apps on the market that can measure the r/w speed but I thought I read somewhere that they where flawed. Just stick it in the other phone. Its not like it will blow up or anything. Good luck

There used to be some tests floating around here that some devs did regarding sd card speed. I know they figured out that a class 8 was the highest a hero could use fully. A 10 wasn't any faster. Don't know if they stated the original class though.
Just search it

If it was stock im pretty sure that it's class 2. If it's bigger than 2gb then it's definitely not stock.

Im not scared it will blow up. You NEED above a class 4 or it can cause issues when writing hd video to the microsd. And it is the stock htc hero microsd

Turns out it is a class 6
Most cards have a circle with a number inside it. That number is the class rating
Nandroids are for sissies.

+1. Sometimes it is not very visible. I've never used the one that came with the phone as 2gb is too small for me.

Yes, it works. I have two micro SDXC 64gb cards (class 6 and 10) that both work well on the phone.

Class 6 I got late last year for $79 and Class 10 I got from Amazon when it was on sale for $50
Im clueless about the classes but the higher the class the faster or better quality the card is?

Yes, the higher the class the faster the data read and write speed. but regardless, class 6 is plenty fast enough for anything you do on the phone. But since the price is so close to each other, I would suggest just getting the class 10. You can always use it on your digital camera (newer ones that support it) if you don't use it on the phone. fyi, make sure you format the drive in FAT32 (let the phone recognize the card first before putting it into your computer).

update
Received my Sandisk 64gb Micro SDXC card today and it was a complete FAIL. Tried to format it in the note, it did not work. Kept saying sd card is blank or is in unreadable format. I tried to format it in FAT32 via CMD on my PC, did not work. I tried to format with other programs did not work. Spent the last 4 hours trying to get this to work to come to the conclusion that I must've received one that was part of the bad batch that was released to the public. I will be returning this one and exchange it. *sigh I'll likley have to wait until next week to try out the new one since its a holiday weekend.
My note wouldn't read it out of the box. I put it on my S2 and formatted it under settings. Then my note started reading it. So you can prob try a different Android phone and format it from the phone... I thought I had one from a bad batch too at first but that fixed it. now it works like a charm.

nope. i never use ebay. I don't trust it. I got it from amazon. I will say this though...amazon was just the middle man when I first bought it. I returned it already and will be getting a full refund while my new card will arrive tomorrow, but it was purchased from amazon directly this time.
Update. I got the new card and it wouldn't format on the note,but it formatted easily on my pc and works like a charm now. Only issue IM having is that it won't transfer.files above 8Mb/s. Not exactly the 30mb/s that it's rated it. Could be a number of other things causing this, but I'll update once I figure out why it's so slow.

I just popped it in my s2 first then under settings i hit format right off the phone.. I originally put it in my note but it wouldn't read it. Wouldnt even load.. After i did the format on my s2 it worked. I uploaded movies, music and used about 70%of it and it runs smooth with no lags... Its a speed 10 btw not the six one idk if that makes a difference or not

Just grabbed one of these for my wife for christmas. She was wanting an eReader figured I could put cm7 on it and then she could have a choice of reader apps and have some tablet functionality as well.
Digging through stuff it seems alot of information is old so I don't really know where to begin. Do I need an sd card? Does it matter which size? Would greatly appreciate if someone could direct me in the right direction.

If you are wanting CM7, just follow eyeballer's guide, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12797652
It is still applicable. And get CM7.2 stable from the Cyanogenmod site. And yes, you generally need an SD. A lot of apps expect one. Size just depends on how much stuff you want to store on it. Generally 4GB or larger is enough. With the price of SD's nowadays, I recommend getting as large as you can afford. You can never have too much SD space. And if you have any thoughts of maybe putting a ROM on it in the future, it needs to be a SanDisk Class 4.
Let me know how you like it with CM on it, Cor-master. I've been thinking about getting one for my parents and rooting it since they're so cheap now and I get 20% off with my employee discount.
Yeah the nook color is what got me interested in tablets in the first place. I thought the ipad was a dumb idea when it came out, then my friend showed off his rooted cm7 powered nook to me and I was in love lol

Only if you choose too. If you install it to internal memory the SD is only used for media storage. If you choose to install the ROM to SD, then the internal ROM is not touched and is ignored on boot.
Those instructions I posted earlier is for installing to internal memory, overwriting the stock ROM.
Cool that sounds good to me. I'm no noob to this stuff, my Nexus 7 is my 4th android device and I never leave them stock, but you know how it is, different on every single device.

I know you have been very helpful in the p1000 thread, but I'm not trolling here, please don't bash me.
Actually does anyone feel that it is a manufacturing internal memory failure or we are just bunch of unlucky ppl who happened to have bought a tab with malfunctioning internal memory?
Sent from my Nokia 3310
Not bashing you. But just disagree with the estimation you put.
I think it more likely some percentage of units have chips that are bad.
Also, do they fail within warranty period?
In manufacturing it is not that easy to weed out bad parts.
Btw, there are threads talking about using external sd only.
Have you tried that? Apparently with class 10 cards, the tab performs relatively well.

your not the only one with that problem,as for me i just successfully recovered 210mb of my internal sd card,ddnt knew much of what i was doin so i ended up with a messed up tab,but cheer up,theres always hope for those who find ways

Ya I read around about using the external sd as internal memory. However I found ppl saying that some custom roms do not run well, so I just leave my tab aside and find the time to learn how to use the toolkit. Thanks for the info.

I transfer my apps to sd with app2sd by Sam Lu.
Obviously for all of us with the device, micro SD wasn't a deal breaker but I definitely would have held out if HTC would have held off on the release to add SD for us.

32GB is enough. If 64GB models were available on Sprint, I would've gotten it, but probably would've never used it all.
But see the only reason I bought it was so I could transfer files easier haha, 32gb is enough for me. I just don't wanna get a cable every time I need to transfer a file

No, the difference mainly comes when trying to run a ROM off of the SD. It runs slower. But it also sometimes does not work well for use as a boot CWM card. It may refuse to boot. And lastly, it sometimes will give i/o errors when used as a normal SD and may take more than one attempt to read or write. But that is less troublesome than the first two issues.

It has to do with small file read/write speed, which class 4 does better than class 10. There is a whole thread devoted to this on the Nook Color forum. It still applies to the HD/HD+ too. See here:

Don't get the micro center brand, though, they're not as good - quite bad actually. Get the SanDisk brand. I I had the micro center brand when I first started, and had to return it for the SanDisk. Not sure what the difference is, but it was significantly faster after I made the switch.
Now I'm running on EMMC so it doesn't matter that much. But if you plan on running the ROM on the card, get the SanDisk.
