SDCARD Classes?

Hello Everyone,
I plan to root and install jacxhero1.7r2 onto my g1 which hasn't been modded at all. All I have is the sdcard that was in it. (1gb) I see people with sdcards saying the class of it. Does it matter? Can I use my 1gb card and still run hero the best possible with three partition thingy on it? Does the class of it matter? Please let me know.
Thank You

The better the class, the quicker it can access the card(read/write) I suggest a bigger card than a 1gb, you will fill that up quite quickly. The higher the number, the faster it works

yeah a 8 gig class 6 is like...what most people accept as the preffered sd card. but i have a 4 gig class 4 and am running jachero whatever just fine. you just need to partition it

sd card + speed questions

Hello xda community,
I am new to the forums and I really love the website
I just have a few questions about the android that I tried looking for but to no avail..
1.) I have the default 1gb microsd card on my g1 - if I upgrade that to 16gb sd card, will I notice any speed difference? Piece of sh1t.
2.) Where are text message data stored? In the SD? If so, how can I transfer it over to another SD card?
3.) Is there an Eclair ROM for g1s?
Thanks so much!

1.) It depends on which 16GB card you get. However, you most likely will see a speed increase. FYI, the best bang for your buck right now in terms of cost and speed is the 8GB Class 6 SanDisk Ultra.
By the way, I have measured the stock 1GB SD card and mine came in slightly slower than a Class 4 (@3.5MB/s) 66x (@9.7 MB/s) SDHC card. YMMV.
So, it is possible that you could actually see a speed decrease with a 16GB class 2 card.

What exactly am I looking for if my goal in mind is to increase my g1's speed?
Read/Write mbyte/sec speed?
The Size? (i.e. 8gb, 16gb)
Thanks

I was thinking about getting this:
http://www.frys.com/product/6027788?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Sorry, every instance of the word SDHC actually means microSDHC. I thought that it was obvious, however, I really shouldn't assume. That link you gave is the wrong card. That card will not fit into your phone.
This is the one that I have:
http://www.cell-phone-accessories.com/pol-312824-tsc.html

If you really want a 16GB card, either get this:
AData - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211378
or this:
Transcend - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208481
or this: (although I have no experience with this one)
OCZ - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227489

Thanks a lot for your advice. I ended up by an Adata c6 8gb microsd card for $27 at Fry's.

2.) Where are text message data stored? In the SD? If so, how can I transfer it over to another SD card?
I would also like to know
3.) Is there an Eclair ROM for g1s?
Yes, but not everything is working
I am waiting for one where everything works...

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!

i'm so confused, android apps download to internal or sd card?

hi. thanks truly for reading this.
i was reading through this forum and i was going to buy a SD card (sandisk class 4, everyone seems to agree is best).
people say it doesn't matter what size you buy if i'm just going to stick with one rom like cm7.
what i am confused is people also say that an advantage to rooting vs putting it on my sd card is seomthing about APPS downloading.
i'm confused, can i not use apps or download a lot of apps if i use an SD card? if i buy a big sd card (16gb), shouldn't i have a lot of space?
last question. is the sd card people are buying the sandisk ultra series like the one below?
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra...7HQK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1308541691&sr=8-2

I just did this the other day and had a million questions (that people helped me with), so I can definitely give you an amateur's perspective (although I did a lot of reading here beforehand).
Yes, it seems SanDisk is the card to use, and not too high a class. This is the one I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B1AR50
and it works great.
I put the CM7 on the card because I want to be able to revert the Nook to the original system without a lot of fuss. And I also didn't want to risk screwing things up. I have never rooted my phones, but when I saw this using the sd card, I was all over it.
It is my understanding if you install to the sd card, it occupies it entirely and you don't have it available for extra storage. I'm sure someone will come around and correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know if you could partition it, but that's over my level. So rooting the device would give you more room on a card for apps and media if you need it. But you can still install tons of apps directly on the NC. I think people who actually install movies would run out of space pretty quick, but other than that, not so much.
I followed verygreen's directions very carefully (and still had questions), and things worked out really great. I think the NC with mods is totally unbeatable. And these people here who do all the work so we can enjoy it are amazing.
I used a combination of these links for the process yesterday:

Maybe it depends on what ROM you are using but from my experience you should still have room left on the MicroSD afterward for installing apps. I used Racks11479 Phiremod/Honeycomb dualboot image for mine and still have over 4 GB left on my SD card partition using an 8 GB Sandisk MicroSD. The instructions I used are located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018

When you burn an OS to a card, you are actually burning the OS to one partition of many on that physical card.
Typically you'll still have a large partition called 'SDCARD' which acts like an SD card, but is still on the same physical card.
So moving files from 'phone' to 'SDCARD' just changes if they are in the 'apps' parition or the 'SDCARD' partition -- they're still on the same physical device.
The emmc (internal) memory is not accessible when running a ROM from the SDCARD (unless you do something to change that fact).

thank you very much for the replies.
just to confirm, are the sandisk ULTRA cards the one people are buying to use with it?

My Class 4 Sandisk 16gb did not say Ultra though it is probably fine regardless since the consensu is Sandisk seems to be a reliable maker.
CM 7 on the uSD makes four partitions. 1st partition is called boot. 2nd and 3rd partition are not accessible. 4th partition is the largest, and is for storage of Apps, music, videos, etcl. On a 16gb card, you have about 13gbs in that 4th partition so it should be plenty for loading up stuff.

Storage issues: Sd Cards

Hey,
Can someone explain/clarify our phones storage to me.
It looks like we have 2 partitions on our phone...sortof ...
~8+GB of what it calls Phone storage, but is actually part of the phone storage.
And ~4GB of what it calls, Internal Storage...
BUT both are actually the phones storage?
This excludes any MicroSD card you may have put in the phone.
I have a SanDisk 64GB MicroSD Card... which so fare has been pretty useless on this phone...other than saving digital recordings...and photos (strangely the same photos are saved on the "Phone Storage" to although I have it marked for save to "Storage CArd")...
Can we move apps to our Micro Sd cards, like with the old WM phones?
Thanks for the clarification and help
BTW: I'm running the stock GB Rom

get the app apps2sd or link2sd

i dont think the vivid supports 64 gig micro sd card..i think the highest u can go is 32 gigs

That is correct 32 the largest sd you can use.

Nope. Mine has had 64GB card for months (almost a year now, bought not long after purchasing the phone)...working fine, like a number of other people on here.
Saves pictures, attachments, music, etc.
Here's an old post on it, I know I started one way back when too so there are a few about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563079
Got a ScanDisk MicroSDHC...or HX something 64GB class 6 for ~30 at BestBuy...
I'll try the app given...can anyone answer the partition questions?
I know the operating system takes some 5GBs, but I don't have +6GB of apps so I can't figure out where my Rom is going.
