[Q] galaxy models/storage sizes - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i got my galaxy tab from woot yesterday. One thing i noticed is that on the woot site, it said it was a 16gb model. is this supposed to mean internal memory? or do all tabs have the same 2gb's of internal memory and come with whatever size SD card they talk about?

Biggest Capacity SDHC Card Possible

I'm running WM6 on 7500, with 4GB SDHC card, and need more space.
Whats the biggest capacity card anyone is running without problems?
I haven't tried one but I saw the microSDHC 8gb has just been announced at $150. I don't think there is anything bigger then 8gb at the moment but I could be wrong. Wikipedia mentions Samsung announced a 16gb but they don't mention if its SD or micro.
6gb microSDHC has been available for a while now. But i'll wait for 8GB one since it should be soon available.
BTW, SDHC is useless for Athena. We should be using either miniSDHC or microSDHC.
Parity with the hard drive, nice!

Huh
Hi
I am thinking of getting the 7500, it does everything I want & I want the largest memoery card I can get. This one shown is Micro SD not Mini SD - am I being a complete numpty, I thought the 7500 used the Mini SD & not the Micro ?
Got to get a new device, my XDA Exec screen is in bits ....

The MicroSD cards usually come with 2 adapters (one for Mini-SD and one for SD).
Thanks, I'll get an 8Gb one then when my 7500 turns up.
Please be informed that the 12 GB MicroSDHC is already out:

Maximum storage card capacity

Hi,
I want to buy a micro SD : I have seen that the maximum storage for micro sd was of 16 GB.
Someone has already tested a 32 GB storage card?
If yes, Does it work correctly?
Thanks for your answer.
it's works i don't now how becouse i just test my friends card.
Sorry for my English
Maybe it's was on android 1.6 (max 16), but 2.1 should be supported with 32GB
well, i got my X8 only a week ago, it's my first smartphone.
seriously, what do you guys want to store with 32GB card?
i can't imagine what to store in such space, i figure one could make a portable toilet out of it and still got some more space.
Movies (avi, wmv, etc). HD photos from professional photocameras, hi fi music like wav. Download a lot of stuff with torrent client and else. 32 GB really need for me.

Question was not what I do with all that storage.
Is it possible to have 32GB card in X8 I think that it support up to 16GB ??
I couldn't tell you, because I've bought an 16GB card (class10).
With the price of a 32 GB microSD, I could not fool me.
I think that 32GB is more money then the Phone
You are able to mount 32GB card I've just checked it out but the results are horrible - 500 MB of freshly copied music on the card, and now it is showed as "damaged" on the notification bar. I wouldn't recommend it to you.

I think the X8 will also work extrem slow with a sd card of 16 or 32gb
And with 32Gb class10? The read/write speed is biggest?
I believe that is not a question of card's speed, but more of device's ability to comprehend such a huge space. Just like with enormous hard drives in older computers.
ok.. maybe this out of topic..
what brand of SD card with class 6 or 10??
n where to buy??
im just unable to find it in my country.
in my opinion, 32gb can be handle with very well if this SD card are good.
i mean good SDHC
i found it in my country, designed for camcorder and etc..
but price also different
i just want 8gb with class 10..
currently i have 8gb, no class
my quadrant almost same with droid x, so i think if i have good SD card i can overlap droid x.
where to buy???
32 gb for a phone is a lot of capacity
Im using 32gb sandisk class 2 memory card in my galaxy s initially when it was 2.1 it was slow. But now after 2.2 update its okay. Only startup and shut down process Will take long time. class doesn't matter on phone it matters only when data is to be transferred from pc to phone . Max transfer speed Will be 2mbps in class 2.

there's a lot of good brand to choose actually, personally i'm using transcend.
what city are you in? in Bandung, you can try BEC. i bought mine from kaskus though, it has almost everything we look for
class.. hmm IMO it's unnecessary to use such a high class card. class 6 (6MB/s) is sufficient enough, because android apps are usually not really big, only 10-12 MB at most so no need for such a large data transfer rate.
Has anyone had good success with the 32Gb card? I dont want to buy one if it's just gonna not work properly.
thanks
Won't work
Chances are, it wouldn't work.
The Xperia X8 currently only supports up to 16GB of memory. If you go higher than that you would experience problems. You might be able to make it work for a few minutes then it might not be able to read the mem card.
Hopefully, in future updates we could use 32GB cards.
I've searched around, no walk-arounds on this yet. If I were you, I'd stick with 16GB. That's a lot of storage!

32 gb memory card?

I'm having issues with my tab not recognizing files from the sd card, Ill put media or videos on the card and they will be deleted whenever I transfer the card to my tab or disengage usb mode. It occurs when using oldmacnuts better than life rom or cm7. I thought 32gb cards were compatible with the tab, am I wrong?

Might be an issue with the card there are a LOT of 'hacked' memory cards out there. A 2gb card is firmware hacked to read as a 32gb card by PC/Laptop/Tablet, then a three is printed on the card before the 2gb to look like a 32gb card. Try formatting the card and only put a few files on it (less than 2gb) and try it to find out if the same problems occur. If the card works fine then its probably a hacked 2gb card, with the hacked card it does appear as if more than 2gb files are on it but on trying to play the files (once you go over the 2gb) the card throws up different errors and will not play the file or files.
I have a 32gb Adata class 10 card that works perfectly in my Tab. Stock, Better than Life, and now CM7, all read it just fine. Sounds like you might have a bad card like ericbt32 mentioned.. depending on where you bought it you might have been scammed.
Wally world. I'm returning it, try a different brand

For those who wonder if their card is fake or not, try the card in HDTUNE. Look at the attached pic , it's fake microSD 32GB, the curve shows the true capacity (here 2GB) ,then jump and display a perfectly straight line.

[Q] Just got my Note! Where's the memory card?

Hi Everyone,
So I received my Note I ordered from a company in Vegas today. I think they imported it from Poland, it says samsung.pl on the box. Everywhere I have read indicates that the Note comes with a 2 gb micro SD card. Mine did not come with one preinstalled or anywhere in the box that I could find.
Anyone else in the same boat? Did yours come with the card? What country is yours from?
nope, no memory card in the box, just 16gb onboard storage.
no memory card in the box . ( UK )
Everywhere I've read so far says the Note comes with no bundled MicroSD card.
Anyways, why would you want a crappy free 2gb one anyways? I'd rather they not give me one as use my own 16gb class 10.
Mine was the polish model too.
Google samsung galaxy note "2 gb included" - someone probably included it in a press release and it spread like wildfire - then Samsung decided to not include it.
I'd want one because it's free. Better than nothing.
I'd probably end up buying a larger one anyway - was just curious if anyone received one with their phone.
I have two from different sources, no ext.SD card.
no memory card, enjoy the note
No way Jose for the SD Card

Giving the price of microsd card is cheap now. I suggest to get a 32Gb class 10. You won't regret it

[Q] Samsung Focus S Microsd card

There are conflicting reports on whether the Samsung Focus s SGH i937 has an internal micrsd card slot or not, I'm thinking about buying one but I need more storage then 16 gigs and I would like to upgrade to 32 gigs.
No. There is no card slot in Samsung Focus S.

Check out the line below the first pic on the page.
I Called Samsung today and they informed me that it has a internal micro sd slot that is not user accessible.

That would be totally insane. I was thinking about getting one as well, but after hearing that, I'm not so sure anymore as I to would want to increase available storage space. Why would they do that?
I believe there is a 32 GB version available. Mine has no expansion slot accessible.
Only available in 16GB. No SD slot. The lack of. Sd are support was brought on by the way WP7 interacts with external memory. Which can hinder the user experience. Bing it for more info

its not insane, its irritating.
the inability of WM7 devices to support external micro sd cards has been known for well over a year now. it has to do with WM7 os reading/writing faster than the cards can handle.
...and considering all the cloud based services available now, why would you need more thatn 16 gigs in your device anyway? really, the only things that need to live on the device would be apps. music, pics, and video can all be accesssed from the cloud. imo.
additional storage space
There are success stories of those who replaced their 16gb card with a 32 gb card and probably only a matter of time before somebody explores the same on this device, but again, why would you with all the cloud services. Success stories, specifically, on the Arrive. There are those that replaced their 16gb internal card with a 32gb card and it's working at least as well. Good luck!

There's alot of evidence out there suggesting NAND is used - not micro sd - that I would personally deem more compelling than a Samsung phone rep's response.
Just Search for "focus s" and "nand"...
