Planning on picking up a 32GB micro SDHC card, to replace my current 8GB card, within the next two days.
Shooting for at least a class 4, which I will likely end up with, really don't feel like paying extra for a class 6 or 10 at the moment, especially for what I use it for (Music, Apps, Docs, Pics).
Just want to see if anyone else is rocking one yet, and if so which brand?
Thanks
ADATA 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card with Adapter Model AUSDH32GCL10-RA1
Bought it on newegg for $70 and its a class 10. so far i am happy with it
I have a Kingston 16 GB class 4 in my Vivid. It works great for me, and was noticeably quicker loading the gallery and saving pictures on my old HTC Evo then the standard 8 GB class 2. I recall seeing some people having problems with class 6 & 10 in some phones, but don't remember the details.
32GB class 4 San disk work fine, currently i have no idea to fill it up with
Why stop at 32gb? SanDisk makes a 64GB micro SD card that is compatible... I'm using it right now, unfortunately I can't post the pic from the phone though... Google it also, if you order one, Google a discount code for 10% off and that'll cover most of shipping.

is that an Ultra sdxc?
Yes, but it still works, you just have to let the phone format it the first time you install it...

Great to hear, can we just dismount and use adapters to plug into a pc to transfer wiles at will? Does the formatting affect this ability?
I would do this quite a bit with my sdhc card.
now a good question, how much does this 64GB will cost you?
Here's a picture... I ordered mine directly from SanDisk, with the discount and plus shipping it was right around $220.

i dont think 5x the cost for double the capacity is worth it
Well, my 32Gb sd card came in today, so I should go pick it up later today.
Are we given the option to format the card once placed into our phone?
...I have been looking around but haven't seen anything about it so fare...on HTC's site, the manual, etc...
Thanks
woa, what about class 10 not working? I have a class 10 8gb card that im planning on using (got it for like 10 bucks online 2 years ago). I really hope it works fine...phone comes tomorrow so lets see.
What I find amusing is that the Vivid is listed as having 16GB of memory. After OS install and bloatware that drops it to 8.83? wtf is that. Unless boot/recovery/radio all share which is highly doubtful and totally insecure
Class 10 doesn't necessarily mean faster speeds. It does mean faster speeds if you are transferring 8 gigs of music for example. But when it is in the phone, the random read/write speeds are actually worse than class 4. There is a thread on here somewhere about it.
...so how do we go about formatting them for our phone, or is it automatic?
(new to Android)
I grabbed a 32GB Class 10 on Black Friday for $40.

It is automatic. The SD card probably comes preformatted with FAT32, which Android accepts. It'll do the folder architecture automatically.

Some people say Kaiser can manage up to 8GB and some say it can manage
up to 16GB all I have is 4GB and its more then enough. But a friend wants to send me one and asked me what is would prefer. I would go for 16GB but I don't know if I can use it. I have a AT&T Tilt.
Thank You.
Hi and welcome around,
searching a little bit around may have answered your question .
The Kaiser definitely supports µSDHC up to 16 GB. As soon as 32 GB comes up, it will also support it.
Got a 16Gb in mine. Runs great. Just got to find stuff to fill it now!
What 16 GB are you using?

I am also using a 16GB sandisk. It works great and have no problems. The only thing I will say, as with any flash memory, is that mine is just below 15GB. I personally think that the labeled amount should be the minimum amount available. Sorry for that... go for the 16GB!
Where are you guys buying these 16GB cards? I can't even find them on any of the major retailers' sites. I'm curious to see how much they run. 16Gb used to be a pipe dream to me. heck, the 4 gig I'm currently using used to be such a pipe dream. I remember when I paid $350 for a 1 gig SD card...
16 gigs would be lovely though. I could load up on music.

16GB MicroSDHC Class 6 card (DRATS!) - ONLY $24.99 (s&h FREE)
The best bang for your buck right now for a Class 6 MicroSDHC card, is the 16GB made by ADATA - from Newegg.com:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211300

What SPEED is the Tilt able to handle for the MicroSDHC cards? There are Class 2, 4, and 6 - Class 6 being the fastest. However, if the Tilt is only able to transfer up to or slightly below the speed of a Class 4 card, then buying a Class 6 rather than a Class 4 would be a total waste of money for the higher speed -
- - -
I was going to post something about the ADATA 8GB card I actually have, because I thought it was a great buy at 18.99, but when I checked their web site today, it turns out since I bought mine only about 2 weeks ago, they posted the above Class 6 speed card with 16GB!
I would make a fuss and return my old one, the only thing is, I don't even have any way of filling up the 8GB card - so I may as well wait until the 32Gb cards come out - also anothjer reason is my Tilt is getting to bee a little long in the tooth with scratches, etc. - so by the time the 32GB cards come down in price there may be other models coming onto the market I want to buy instead of the current phone I have now...

There will no doubt be better phones on the market in the near future (HTC's leaked road map has some nice looking phones due out this year, and that Nvidia Tegra system looks awesome). But, the beauty of the situation here is, pretty much any phone worth buying in the future should have a micro SD slot. It kind of sucked buying SD cards with Mini SD on the horizon, and then buying Mini SD cards with Micro SD on the horizon. But Micro SD seems to have settled in as the standard, so your 16 gig card will probably work on your next device.
According to A-Data's website, they don't make a 16gb microsd card
The link above takes you to a 16gb flash card, but it's not a microsd card. The cheapest ones I've seen are 50+ on ebay, probably fakes, but I have an 8gb, probably fake that I go on ebay, and it works perfectly.
I have a 16 gb micro sd card that I bought on ebay, and it works great. I've had no problems whatsoever with it, and I've really loaded it up! I paid $52.00 for it (shipping included).
It Supports up to 32gb
Correction 16GB MicrSDHC not yet available?
My first post tothis thread was wrong, that was a 16GB sd card, not a micro sdhc card. All I can find for highest capacity (class 6) is an 8GB card which I am now using (and itis fast):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211341
And it's only $15.49!
It appears that the class 4 and class 6 make little difference in speed tests,maybe the tilt read/write throughput gets maxed out at the class 4 speed??? Any thoughts anyone?
Hi,
i want to replace the Stock 2GB Micro SD card against a new and better one. Which cards can you reccomend me?
Thanks!
Any class 6 that you can find.
May i recc you use amazon or ebay?
Should find some holiday sales or better prices on new years.
will the g1 support 32gb? i am also in the market for a new sdcard and was thinking of a 16gb or 32gb...currently using an 8gb class 6

Nope, 16GB is limit...The G1' hardware limits it to 16 only, but the card will really have 14Gbs on it not 16...Just like 8gb card has like 7Gbs on it.
It will do 16GB, in theory 32GB as well, but I have yet to see a MicroSD 32GB Class 6 SDHC card, and I just did a google search and didn't see anything either.
For the OP, also check out your local Radio Shack. I was in need of an SD card in a pinch, right here right now, because mine went bad and was causing some bad flashes, and thus needed to fix it ASAP so I could get my phone working right again.
Anyway, they had Sandisk Mobile Ultra cards on sale, and I was able to get the elusive class8 4GB card for $12. Sandisk didn't make them for very long, the performance difference between class6 and class8 is very, very small, and not worth the premium if it isn't on sale.
If they don't have any great buys like I was lucky enough to get (I would have ordered one off the internet when I got home if I hadn't been so lucky) get a class 6 8gb card off the itnernet. Great deal on a lot of memory. If you really are going to use more than 8gb, then go ahead and get a 16gb, but in all honesty the only way you would go over 8gb is if you refuse to add and REMOVE music/videos/pics from you SD card.

Something has been bothering me for a while now though about a 32 GB class 6. I dont know if we will see one (at least at a "reasonable" price ANY time soon). Think about it. 32 GB is the absolute max the microsd can handle. Device manufacturers are looking into new storage options which should be implemented next year. I just don't know how big of a demand or even incentive there is to release an upgrade to a dying storage medium.
I'm really just looking for more storage space on my phone so that I can put all of my mp3's and vids on there without filling up my card. Class 6 would be nice. Honestly I've never even seen a class 6 micro sd card.

It makes a huge difference when you're transferring files to and from your PC if you have the class 6, much faster file transfer.
Yeah thats why I said I THINK! honestly I been with my 16GB class 2 for a really long time now and did some research on the technology of the 32GB micro SD card, I read somewhere that its not possible for the moment (or something like that when I read it) how ever IF THERE IS A 32GB class 6 or EVEN a class 4 I will Definitely BUY IT!
Samsung 32GB Micro SD
If I am not mistaken, I saw a Samsung 32 GB class 6 online for about $600.00. And I too have read that 32GB is the upper limit for microSD.
I have been using a SanDisk 32GB card for about 1 month now. It says "Class 4" but the transfer rate using WMDC seems a bit slower than it should be (when moving large files). I have since moved files using standard MicroSD reader and have no problem. The [email protected] can handle 32GB. Card is still a bit pricey (you can get 2 x 16 for a lot less).
I have heard RiDATA Lightning Series 16GB is freakin fast it is class 6 for 50 bucks looks like a really good deal.
i just bought one from ebay for $34.99 the seller has 100% feedback and people that bought them says they are good. so ill see if the knockoff works lol. its covered on the ebay buyer protection

Sorry Bud, but that's SD-XC, not HC.
It's new tech, doesn't count. :3
First, 2TB is the limit for Micro SDHX I belive, and I don't think any PDAs or phones are set up to use them yet, next generation.
I recently got a Class 2 Sandisk SDHC 32gb at Verizon for $100. It was supposed to be $150 if you didn't have one of their phones (Droid X I belive) but they didn't ask any questions and gave it to me for the cheaper price. Works fine, plenty fast for video etc.
One note, I did try to buy a cheap '32gb SDHC' off thEbay and what I got looked just like the one I got from Verizon but was marked with Class 4. It would format with 32gb but when I tried to load data onto it after about 8-16gb or so it started getting errors. I figure it was one that was tinkered with internally to make it look like 32gb but actually was just a 8gb or 16gb in reality. I got suckered for $25 so beware.
Marc
I ended up picking up a 16gb class 4 Kingston one for 40 bucks that actually works really well and my phone doesn't lag anymore accessing files on my SD card like Music...
Saw this card on Newegg today. Pretty cheap for a Class 10 16GB card and reviewers state it meets Class 10 standards, and that it appears to be a rebranded Samsung card, so it is a quality product.
Android only supports Class 6, meaning this card should be plenty quick, and will utilize full Class 10 potential during file transfers over USB.

Wintec 16gb CL10
Just got the Wintec 16gb CL10 from Newegg, put it in my Sprint Hero to format and as soon as it finish saying setting SD card the screen locked up. removed battery/ installed and saw installed apps icons were gone in its places gear icon. Installed original 8gb and app icons were back but apps came up with FC. removed each app and reinstalled and they work fine now. I'm afraid to put the 16gb back in, it seems fine in my laptop. I have no idea whats wrong!
I got one of these around Christmas. Formatted, partitioned and transferred my stuff. I thought all was well until I had to restore a nandroid and it bootlooped. I put my old 8G Sandisk back in and haven't tried again. So my experience was it worked about a week. I guess it's a write/read issue. I had trouble with recovery mounting the card to even see my backups. I had read reviews of spotty quality and I guess I had the bad luck of the draw.
hmmm ok then I guess i'll pass on this one. I want to get one that'll last so i can transfer it to a new phone when i upgrade.
on htc website, it says microSD 2.0 compatable, & i know some phones can only support so much extra storage, ie: some say microSD up to 16gb, so maybe the hero doesnt support high capasity cards.
anybody got a conformation on how big a microsd card we can go, that wont cause issues.
i was looking @ this card in the OP, but now im double thinking.

I bought the wintech 16 gig card back in january and 15 days later I woke up and my phone said the sd card was not formatted. Both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 only saw the card as 1 gig but neither could format it nor create new partition tables. I lost all the data but luckily had a semi recent backup on my computer. RMA'ed it back to newegg and got a 16 gig class 6 card from a more reliable manufacturer.

Morning XDA,
Just had a quick question about your opinions on micro SDHC cards.
The 2GB that Sprint gave me is quickly filling up, and so I'm deciding to go up to an 8GB
Any cards (type/model) you recommend and which ones cause any problems?

I have the exact same card and I definitely recommend it. Also did some speed tests on it and its definitely a class 10

It performs great and I haven't had a single problem with it. I also notice that my HD videos that are recorded aren't as choppy.

i dont need a signature
Well I'm on a budget (under $20) and looking at just 8GB Class 4 or 6
This is mostly just to upgrade storage space
I appreciate the suggestions though
There was a 16GB Class 10 from Wintec on New Egg for $24 and change. If you're going to spend $20 go a few more. The class makes a difference and you will notice it.

Oh nice. Yeah I've been looking around Newegg but have been basing judgement on reviews. I'll definitely look into that one.
Backups take up most of my space.
I got this 8 gig. class 6 card on Amazon for about 17 bucks (I was able to bundle it with something else to get free shipping). I find it's just fine for holding some music and app files. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026L7DG0

That's actually the same one I added to my cart at Newegg ($15.75 w/ Free Shipping)
I'm not THAT stingy between the price disparities, just saw it on NE first.
I bought this 8GB Class 6 @ amazon a while ago.. best SD Card I have bought yet..
$23.95
What I like the best is that it comes with a USB Adapter instead of the SD Card Adapter.

In my best buy in atl we just recently got class 10 micro 8gb for 25. It's a sale price but sometimes they last a while.

For you guys who upgraded.....
Are the cards formatted out of the box, and "plug-n-play", or do they require additional steps before being read by the phone? I purchased (against my better judgement) a Sandisk 8GB Class 4 card last week, and the phone didn't even recognize the new card. Currently running CM7, so I though the ROM may be the issue, but I nandroided back to Stock, and the card wasn't recognized on that one either. So I just took it back (the card).
I'd like to upgrade, since yes, the backups do take a substantial amount of space, but I'd rather get a card that I can just plug in and go.

If you're talking about the PNY card, the Best Buy website is showing this as a new item in my local store for $29.99 ($49.99 for 16gb). I'm going to run over there after work and see if they're on sale.
Here is the card I got for me and my wife's Shift. They have been reliable.

$16.99 with free shipping. 8GB Class 6 card. Great reviews.
Edit - LOL I see you have already looked at this card...

seems to be out of stock right now, but I was scared to try it after the reviews I read. But definitely works good. There's a flashable zip somewhere to change the SD cache or something and it worked out pretty well
This is a little off topic from my original question, but it's still accessories related
I honestly don't like the charger that came with this phone; juts out of the wall to far and I don't like how it's two parts. I'll definitely keep the cable for computer connectivity though.
I was browsing Amazon and I've seen a couple flat retractable prong ones and I can never seem to find cord length. Plus compatibility issues in terms of voltage output
Need a one piece charge, with a nice lengthy cord, and compact prong style
Any recommendations?
pretty much any micro USB cable will charge the phone. As for charger, I've been using AC chargers for ipod touch and all of them worked with the phone. From my experience, HTC phones tend to be not very picky when it comes to chargers.
Sandisk has never failed me Transcend has.

Not bad for the cost but I'm always hesitant after reading reviews especially if other Android users rated it 1/5 with reason
No Android users rated it 1/5. The 1/5 were for people who never received their rebate, and Linux users.
