HD7S sd upgrade? - HD7 General

I can't find anything about the HD7s. Every search results in upgrading the HD7's sd card. If this has been beaten to death let me know. Thank you all in advance

It's basically the same device...so you shouldn't have any problems changing the SD card in the exact same way you would do the HD7! The HD7S has an 8gb SD card already installed (HD7 has 8gb or 16gb option) so you can upgrade to a 16gb or 32gb card. I would definitely upgrade to the 32gb for the extra storage/memory and especially since your already having to do some disassembly of the device to access the SD card. Here's a detailed tutorial with good pics from Wolfman017

Lol... That is true!! The only difference between the two... is that the HD7S has a super LCD screen, which is a little brighter and more visible in sunlight compared to the HD7, which has a standard LCD screen!

The HD7-S from AT&T has a super LCD screen which is a little brighter and more visible than the HD7 that has a standard LCD screen. It's the exact same device except that AT&T repackaged it with a super LCD screen.

Maximum MiniSD capacity I can use with Wizard

Hi All,
I have a 512 MiniSD and i want to upgrade. So i wonder What is the maximum capacity Mini SD I can use smoothly with my Wizard. I don't want something to slow the device or make it freeze.
thanks
my 2gb miniSD works fine...£33 too
i am using a 2 gig and it works good
thanks for the reply, do you recomend any specific brand or they are all the same
ATP are supposed to be good--waterproof and claim to be faster than other miniSD cards. I read a few posts here about them a few months ago and bought one--haven't had any problems. I don't have another miniSD card to compare the read/write speed, and I don't make a habit of giving my Wizard a bath so I can't vouch for the waterproofness either...
i bought a sandisk 2 gb. works great for me.
Has anyone try a 4gb or more? I'm thinking of buying a 4gb sd.

There are no 4GB miniSDs yet; right now, the biggest available is 2GB.

dude there is NO 4gb CARDS for minisd. If so....link me and prove me wrong.
4Gb miniSD being advertised...but are reg SD...
I ordered and received one....after a pretty easy search and finding several.....I was unsure when ordered and, sure enough, now have yet another regular SD card for one of the cameras, etc.
I'm sure they are coming out - and possibly some actually already have them, but at $115 a shot for a flakey, poorly advertised seller (mine was a previously good company, CellMem.com - which I had bought other things from over the last few years - but they sent a regular SD.) (No, I hate sending things back, so I just can store even more sitlls on my camcorder or digicam I don't use enough....)
Hell, none of the physical stores even had the 2Gb mini when I looked and only started having the 2Gb full sized a month back.
Give it six months and we'll be swimming in 150X 4Gb mini's for $80....and the rumors *then* will be the coming 250X 8 or 16....assuming that's feasible, of course - six months later if not....
Now I need to go get a 2Gb and a handful of cheapy 128's, 256's or 512's for ROM backup and "'xperimentin'".....and replace this DINOSAUR 1Gb I have from Circuit City (which you couldn't get 18 months ago... ) )
OEM Brand 2gig MiniSD here works great too and at $34, works real good. 4gigs comming soon I am sure.
Just wish the developers of WM5 software made better use of the storage.
Transcend 2GB (80x / SLC) works great just out of the box (no format needed)!
Same Transcend 512MB (80x / SLC)...
Regards

See? There ya are! The price is incredible too - $45ish
bought singly (much less than price for 1Gb in even cheaper stores).....things change so fast....even the mfg doesn't list those or even the 2Gb!
http://www.adata.com.tw/adata_en/product_detail.php?ProductNo=106
....notice they also didn't even change the labels on the package all the way - hope it isn't a "Photoshop New Offering" hehehe - the pic still shows 60X, not 150X...
Has anyone used these guys before themselves? The names are so familiar with so many of these...
I guess I'll give one of these a try - maybe throw in one of their cheapy 4Gb ipodoids too.....
....why oh WHY! couldn't I have just stuck with buying cars and guns and parts and accessories for those! - now back into electronics!!!!

Micro SD

Is there any way in which we can add a MicroSD card slot to the diamond?

I'm only specululating, but by desoldering the internal memory chip on the mainboard and resoldering to a micro-sd cardslot, it could be possible perhaps. I would bet, the interface is the same and the chip on the motherboard is nothing else, but an unhoused, normal micro-sd card - don't know it for sure of course.
But if possible at all, handling the tiny contacts of smd-chips is only possible with special equipement, a lot of experience and the risk of destroying the mainboard.
What about attaching microSD reader through extUSB?

That is possible. Discussed in another thread here.
So far, can only be used for flashing ROM, using an external card reader.
Diamond is missing drivers for accessing the card in WM6.1.
just bin the diamond
go buy a pro....
did you not know this before you brought it
Micro-SD
I saw a cable which is basically like the computer's usb extension cable but only shorter. It was under the phones category and my guess is that it should work and not just for flashing the rom!
So I'm looking in ebay now to get one of those little suckers and try it to confirm if my theory is right or wrong!
Laters guys
Hi Guys
Let´s face it. HTC could have build this device with a Micro-SD.
They are just learning from Apple. upgrade it slowly. next year, they surrely release a "upgraded" version, with a 5M camera and a MicroSD card, more Ram...

Joao

First of all, they could not have build this device with a micro-sd slot without getting thicker. And as the most of us want a thin and small device they made all right IMHO.
And why the hell should they learn from Apple??? How many PPC's did Apple build???
Like I said, I think they made a very good job with the Diamond.
So far....
I want a diamond with microsd
The touch pro is too fat for me (size and money).

Adding an SD slot would have added about 1mm to the thickness. Hardly a great amount in the grand scheme of things. However, it might have drained the battery even further, so maybe that's why it was left out.

Diamond2

I might be coming back to WM world from iPhone in next few days but have a few questions on Diamond2. What is the maximum MicroSD card it can hold. Also, anyone know if it comes with any sat nav software such as CoPilot or anything?
Cheers
Robert
Hello,
I don´t know what the maximum is. But here is a link to the faq´s at the HTC Homepage. I have a 16GB card in the diamond2 and it works very well.
I think if HTC say that every microsdhc card works, a 32GB card also works. It only must be a microsdhc 2.0
see on the link http://www.htc.com/europe/faq_detail.aspx?p_id=249&act=faq&cat=0
cant find any 32gb cards anyway lol. Been looking for 16gb and prices are pretty good compared to what I expected.
Thanks for your reply.

[SD Memory Card] - What is the difference?

Hello xda-users,
I would like to buy a microSD card for my HTC Tattoo,
although i noticed in the market that there are maaaaaaany
microSD cards available without any differences.. (except the capacity)
What i noticed and i was curious about is that when
i tried to bought a microSD from a store here in my neighbour
i looked that a microSD 4GB costs about 15 $ and a microSD 4GB [ULTRA]
costs about 25 $ so i wondered what the difference could it be?
I searched the web [yep, google is my best pal] and i saw that there
were only differences in the data writing/reading speed, and not so
dramatically changes.. just a lil bit. They 've told me that if i wanted
the microSD for my mobile i souldn't get the ULTRA one, but if i wanted
for my camera i should.
So.. what my question is.. If i choose the ULTRA one, will my mobile be "faster" ?
EDIT: i forgot to tell you that i use my mobile mainly as music player
and surfing the web [not for camera usage]
All your opinions are accepted.
Friendly,
Menios
SPEED
I think you shout get the normal one its only necessary if you use it to copy and past many files. i don't think that it give you more speed in your mobile

your english is just fine m8.
Thanks for your advice
I would say - get normal one!
Its 15$ and 25$, difference is almoust twice!
Ok, if u got planty of money, you can take the ultra, I dont know what are actully difference in speed, but mostly u would be using "reading" speed, and when u open ur music player, it reads music files, indexes them etc. It would be slightly faster at reading, but I dont think the difference would be 10$ worth
Post the speeds for boath, if u found them.
Id take ultra if it would be 18$ compared to 15$ normal
P.S. 4GB only? I got 8GB, and Im feeling that I might be to short later I might want to put some movie or something in it
P.P.S. as it would be for camera - you would want all the speed, as when u take pic, u want it to be writen in memory as fast as possible to take another shot, so it might be reason why it would be better for cameras.

Hahaha, thank you for your advice, but as it's the double price, i'll pay 20 $ to take a 16 gb one
Thanks again my friend
20$ to take 16GB ONE? WTF???
I payd... let me count, 18Lats, which is 1Lat=2$, so 36$ for my 8GB one
Ofc I could buy in e-bay, but then I should w8 for a month for it to come... didnt want to wait, so ****s in my country cost alot...

Does your 16GB card work in you Tattoo.
I´ve try two 16GB card and no one of this work in my Tattoo.
They works for a while then I get a message that it´s some error with the card and need to format the card.
The cards works fine in my daugthers Huawei phone so it´s not any wrong with the card exept that it´s not working in my Tattoo
the diference is only in the speed. Usually, these types of cards (ultra) are used in video recorder cams, that need an high rec speed.
So, u should by a normal one
sorry about my bad english
So, which one did u buy? Just wondering...
Today I bought sdhc (what difference sd and sdhc?) 16gb card, and it works fine, But before...
I had 8gb card sdhc and it woks fine until yesterday... Tattoo was running on Froyo, then suddenly hangs on, pulling out battery, starting again... and card is unreadable, my photocam says that it locked(adapter isn't locked), Tattoo don't see it... What the problems with it, does any one know?
Sent from my HTC Tattoo using XDA Premium App
Not sure about the ULTRA label, but when i bought i looked at the class of the micro SD card.
Class 2: minimum sustained Data Transfer Speed of 2MB/sec
Class 4: minimum sustained Data Transfer Speed of 4MB/sec
Class 6: minimum sustained Data Transfer Speed of 6MB/sec
Just clarify:
SD cards can not be bigger than 2GB and are slower compared to SDHC which stands for Secure Digital High Capacity.
Having a large capacity and high transfer speed when using apps2sd seemed like a good idea.
I'm not completely sure, how big is the affect how having faster card, but to be on the safe side I went for Transcend 8 GB Class 6 microSDHC.
£10 from UK ebay.

[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.
