I have a question about the built in internal SD memory of the phone.
does anyone know what class the built in SD is? I have an 8gb class 4 inside the phone aswell. I want to know which would be better to record to so i can avoid having video hicups and such.
Not sure, but I'd bet the internal memory is fast enough for video recording. I don't think they would have put memory too slow in the phone to handle it..

There are some 4 GB microSD that are not microSDHC.
8 GB ones are microSDHC.
I'm using a sandisk 8 GB microSDHC in my Cruise and everything is fine
On you exact question : what is the difference I know that SD is using Fat FS and SDHC Fat32 FS. There might be other differences, but I don't know what they are.
Did you check the wiki? I'm sure this had to have been covered before
microSD and sdhc
"sdhc" is a standard for microsd/minisd and sd for sizes larger than 2GB. Thus all 4GB and 8GB (and 16GB and 32GB) cards will be "sdhc" to work.
Or if you are talking about an adapter that takes a microsd and converts it into a standard SD, you would of course require a sdhc adapter. Whether you need one will depend on you, using activesync to transfer large files is painfully slow so putting the 8GB microsd in an adapter and putting that directly in your laptop/desktop can be much more efficient.
I use softick's card export to mount the kaiser drive directly on my desktop and can easily transfer larger files efficiently.

SDHC - secure digital high capacity
i don't know what's the difference between sd and sdhc (besides capacity), but there is some difference. however, device specification shows what it supports and kaiser supports sdhc
SD officially doesn't support more then 2GB. There are some out of spec 4GB ones, but they don't work in all devices as it's not an official format. To allow for greater capacity the addressing system has been changed in SDHC, along with the default format now being FAT32 instead of FAT16, and the reader/device must support that to be able to access SDHC cards. Some old readers won't read them for example.
So for 8GB you have no choice, 8GB SD cards don't exist.
But SDHC works like a charm in the Kaiser
EDIT: BTW while we're at it... does somebody else have some performance experience with the SanDisk 8GB microSDHC?
It's a class 4 card, so if we believe the specs this should mean 4-6MB/s write speed.
Now the other day I've bought a little Kingston set with a 2GB microSD, micro to mini and micro to SD adapter and tiny keyring USB microSD reader. The idea was to use the USB reader and supplied card as a USB key always on my keyring, while the adapters would be appreciated spares as I always manage to lose them...
The added benefit over a standard USB key being that I can swap the cards with the phone if I need to transfer large files.
So naturally I've put the 8GB card in the reader and started transferring some files to check the performance. Now that's where it becomes odd... I was getting sustained 14-15MB/s writes on the card! I'm not complaining at all of course, but it just seems rather strange nowadays that something exceeds the rated specs that much when everyone is battling for performance!
I've triple-checked with several large files, purposedly unplugged the USB reader right after the copy ended to be sure there wasn't some caching going on, but no, the files were always readable and complete...
Impressive, I've never seen such performance from either a SD card, let alone a card reader that often are slower than the cards... Even my good and fast USB key is slower than this topping at about 11MB/s...
The SDHC speed classes are pretty obscure though, the 4MB/s are supposed to be a minimum under some precise conditions...
Mny PC SD Card readers are not SDHC compatable, so you'll need to mount them via the Kaiser/Tilt/Vario via Active Sync.
Well one compnay here has 3 different 8g microSD cards..
one is 40eur - 8G normal
one is 43eur - 8G ultra II
one is 53eur - 8G sdhc
so still, which one will be faster in the pda?
i have a SD card reader that supports sdhc, so its no problem getting one of them, just want to know if the card sdhc will be slower in the pda couse of the secure stuff?
Normally, the 16GB micro sd card should be in stores this month.
If you have the time and money, I suggest you wait a bit longer and get one of those...
speed of the sd depends on it's class rating:
What is Class Speed Rating?
The SD Association has created and defined 3 speed
classes to help you identify speed and performance
capabilities/minimum requirements of SD/SDHC,
miniSD/miniSDHC, and microSD/microSDHC cards and
the host products. The SD Speed Class Ratings specify
a minimum sustained write speed for
SDHC/miniSDHC/microSDHC cards (Class 2: 2 MB/s;
Class 4: 4 MB/s; Class 6: 6 MB/s*).

You most likely won't be seeing a difference. PDAs are usually not capable of accessing a card at more than a couple MB/s, way less that what cards are capable of.
ok thanx... so cheaper / better
maybe ill wait for those 16g, if the phone will support it...
now im using card for navigation (need 2 gig), for pictures (cca 500megs), for Mp3s (cca 1 giga) guess 8g is more then enoug anyway ....
will get the cheapest, hopefully it will be readable on all sd readers
thanx everyone.

As said before, 8GB SD cards do NOT exist. Even if not noted by the vendor, any 8GB card will be SDHC, and will require a SDHC-compatible reader.
For my Polaris i'm using this one : http://www.amazon.fr/Sandisk-Carte-...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1215248577&sr=8-2
Works good. Transfer rate is not too bad.
Hi guys,
this might be really noobish question, but I hear a lot people talking about partitioning their SD card and I dont really understand what that means.. I tried to search, but all I could find were a ways of doing it rather than what it really is.
Now the issue: I have SGS with 32gb nokia class 2 SD card. So far I had only one issue with the card and that is when I put video files on it (no matter what format mp4, avi, mvk and so on) there is always a point in the video, when the it shows a lagy squared-like screen and skips like 1-3 minutes of video which really bugs me :/. Also, sometimes when I put flv files on it, they just stop after playing for some time (lag) and only audio goes on with video stuck.
I never had the problem when putting the files on internal SD card, they just play along..
as for the partitioning, should I partition ? Some simple definiton would be helpfull What are the benefits/risk of it ?
thank you very much !!!
the video lag and the skipping maybe do to the fact that your sd card is class2 or it's ajust an older model don't know for sure i have a 16 gb class6 sdhc and i'm playing 720p video file downloaded from youtube and mkv and other stuff without any lag borrow from one of your friend an sd card and see if there's any difference as for partitioning your card i don't see the point in doing that

well I dont think that would be the case, because it handles saving 720p video from camera and than playing it without problems. The issue is not lagging, its more like skipping the part of a movie or, when playing flash not finishing the movie...
do you think I should try to return the card ? Because I really cant use a card for movies and thats pretty much everything beside music I have it for..
Everybody is complaining about the choice of 8GB and 16GB internal memory and lack of external SD support for Nexus 7. Looking at the specs for Nexus 7 and also at tear-down pictures, it is clear that the internal memory is not an SD card. In other words, in the older cheaper tablets, you can replace the 1,2 or 4 GB microSDs with higher memory easily. What kind of memory chip/card is used for the 8/16 GB memory. Has anybody looked into replacing OEM memory with alternate higher memory options?

The NAND chips are soldered onto the PCB. They are non-replaceable without industrial equipment, and possibly some software patches.
Its not going to happen.
Alternatively, Google USB-OTG. Less convenient, but more realistic.
As Mike mentions, USB OTG is the alternadtive. Unlock the bootloader for your nexus 7 and root it and u can just hook up any usb using a OTG cable. I use the internal memory just for installing apps and i use a 8GB Sandisk USB to store things like pictures, music, movies. Streaming media through USB OTG works great on the Nexus 7. I had no problem streaming a full HD 1080p movie from the USB!

Use this If your rooted. It mounts to a folder in the sdcard directory. which the media scanner will pick up. (takes a while to show up if you have a large library)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount&hl=en
or this if your not rooted. Your can stream the media or copy it to your internal memory.

Hello all!
I've been using my Razer Phone 2, and it's a blast to have. My one issue, not limited to Razer Phone 2, is the slow write speed of the MicroSD card I'm using. I can record 4K and 1080P @ 30 fps and save directly to the MicroSD no issues, however when recording 4K and 1080P @ 60 fps, my recording stutters and lags, i.e the MicroSD I have installed cannot keep up with all the information it is receiving to write to the card.
My question(s) is/are this: Is there a way to modify the save location of camera app, and if possible, is there a way to make the camera app save recordings to the phone's storage and have whatever is being written to the phone's storage get moved to the MicroSD card at the same time? In other words, camera records, camera writes to phone internal storage, internal storage moves to MicroSD card all while recording. That way the issue of a slow MicroSD card is at least, alleviated.
I know I could just record without the MicroSD card installed, but I have it set to merge with phone storage, so my options are limited. I also want to avoid ejecting and inserting the MicroSD card as much as possible.
Something like FolderSync maybe?

It wouldn't move it while it's recording, but it can periodically move footage to the SD card so the internal storage doesn't fill up.
Hi anyone knows if adaptable storage is supported or at least works by some tricks?
From what I remember, adaptable storage back in the day was not as reliable or as fast as just keeping them separate. Meaning that the internal storage that Sammy uses was typically faster on its own than with adaptable storage.
Personally, I find that keeping all my media (videos, music, pictures) on the Micro SD card is best. Recording video and taking pictures and saving them onto my internal storage is faster. Then I'd simply transfer the shot footage onto the Micro SD card after. Saving space in my internal storage for future video recording and picture taking. Also, saving more internal storage for games and apps.
