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.
Its been a week since Ive been desperately searching with no luck!!!!!!!
I just baought a kingston 32gb class 6 micro sdhc but when ever i put it in my hd2 it just freezes up and as soon as I remove the card it works fine again.At first i though that it was a fake so I:
1)performed multiple tests,
2)reformated a 1000 times,
3)even putting 20gb of data just to make sure.
Turns out that it is authentic and it works perfectly on my girlfriend's htc BalckStone it also worked when I installed NAND (which i later removed due to insufficient memory).Ive been searching for weeks, I think its a windows mobile issue, any tips??
HD2 freezing with microsd
I have the exact same problem.
HD2 + 32Gb Kingston micro SD card (bought from ebay)
Freezes on card insertion. Unfreezes when card is removed.
Found any solution?
Do a google search for SD Formatter.
Try reformatting using that program.
Also, when you're reformatting, don't use the phone, use an external card reader or adapter.

If you ahve bought a 32GB SD card from ebay there is a very high probability that you have bought a FAKE 32 gb card.
If it was cheap its 100% a fake card.
These fake card are actually 1/2/4/8/16GB card but have been modded to report 32GB, some of them you can use but data will get corrupted as soon as you get near the real capacity. Some will just not work from the offset.
Stick your card into your pc via reader/adapter and run it through a drive scanning software and see if its got any bad sectors you will soon know if its fake or not.
The same issue with my 16gb microsdhc. On my friends Samsung Galaxy S it works, on microsd carder it works. But not on my HD2.
I had scanned my microsd with few scanners all of them shown that my SD is in perfect condition.
What about formating? What program should I use? And what formating options should be(file system and etc.)

Fat32, 32KB Cluster, Quick is fine usually but do a normal format to test your card
I red somewhere says that HD2 are compatible with 32GB SDHC class 2 only..
Same problem here…..
Is there any hot fix for the HTC HD2 to solve this problem?
The card is Kingston 32g class 4.

This is an issue that has yet to be solved, unfortunately I cant get any real answer even after searching for weeks. My only solution now is just to buy a 16gb and use the 32gb for some other occasion.

Oh, yes it is. At least mostly true, if not even absolutely true.
I've been using a class 2 32 GB Sandisk micro SDHC card for a year now on my HD, and it will go into my Leo as soon as I get it. Absolutely no problem at all, of course.
It's also the one to use on the HD7 to get the maximum available storage memory.
It was quite expensive when I bought it, but it never bothered me, neither did the Sandisk Compact Flash cards I'm using with my goo old Canon EOS 350D camera.
Some Kingston memory card seem to have compatibility issues with some devices (I'm thinking about EeePCs, too, as it's a very frequently reported problem), but it may be essentially related to higher speeds, as those cards drain too much current. The symptoms are exactly the same : the device will sometimes boot when mains powered, but will crash as soon as you disconnect the mains plug, and won't boot at all from battery power.
The HD2 (and HD7, as it's exactly the same hardware) is known for not loving too much current consuming memory cards, so you'd be wise to stick to class 2 only, as it's supposed to be what HTC recommends.
If you still want to use class 4 or 6 cards... Then don't complain if it doesn't work.
And no, it is not "absolutely true". While the HD2 may not r/w any faster no matter the card, any class will work just fine.

Easy. I always first format my cards using a card adapter and a windows machine.
I know for a fact that class 6 microsdhc 32GBs work. It's what I have in my phone now. I also use a 32gb class 2.
I'm using a Kingston card. I've formatted, the computer sees a mass storage device with 30.2 gb available. However it locks the phone up in the boot sequence. Any Ideas?

What program did you use to format it?
One recommended app, outside of the built-in windows app, is SD Formatter:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
(Link leads to the SD Association, of which I have no affiliation.)
If you have a card adapter, format it there instead of while inside the phone. Good luck
You suggestion is right.
Correctly formatting the card first generally solves most of the problems.
However, most high class micro SDHC cards will probably drain too much current from the phone. You have to find a really serious brand, and a really good one.
I've tried the posted formatting tool. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? After an hour of formatting, nothing, same problem.
I put the card in a 3 year old blackberry curve I had before the HD2, and no problem. I then put an 8gb class 6 card I had in that same blackberry into my HD2 and it worked fine.
I'm trying not to have to return this card because I don't want to wait another week and a half for back shipping etc.. Please give me some hope
Hi
All the specs i se say that the Razr I has a 32gb limit for microc SD cards - a few people here have said (in passing) they have 64gb cards. So I was wondering whjat people have got working - the price of 64gb card in the UK is getting around the £35 - £25 was my "Buy pint" for the 32gb I have - doubling that would be cool.
Eserim
I use a 64GB microSD class 10 card on my RAZR i. It doesn't use all of the storage, just about 53+GB but it still works fine.

There is a post in the accessories forum with other 64gb users.
I have 59GB usable with my Sandisk which is the same model listed above.
'Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 Micro SD Card with SD Adapter - FFP'
53gb seems like a big loss? Maybe the cluster size you chose wasn't the best choice?
The 32 limit is to do with windows by default will not make a fat32 partition bigger than 32gb so just use a 3rd party partition tool to make it 64gb.
I use the one from www.partitionwizard.com
Also don't format to exfat as the phone won't read it.

When I inserted my 64GB microSD (Sandisk) that was in my S3 4G into my XZ it didn't see it as being formatted. The XZ prompted me to format it, so I did.
Total space is 59.45GB
Available space is 54.75GB

They are quite cheap, you can get them for like 50$ or something, though I wouldn't advice on buying from ebay.
64GB SD cards will work on any Android phone as long as it is in the FAT32 format.

I have a SanDisk Ultra® microSDXC 64GB installed to my new smartphone Sony XperiaZ. The problem is while I want to see the files (videos and photos) of my Xperia Z via my PC (USB connection) some files are not appear. On the contrary, the files are visible when the micro SD in on the phone and also visible to the PC when I insert the card to my PC with an adapter. Do you have any idea why I have partial access to the files of the micro SD when is on the phone?

I spoke with Sandisk explaining the issue and they told me to send it back and they will send me a new mini sd because this issue should not happen...I will let you know what will happen with the new but is highly unlikely that I will solve my problem...

It is already formatted to exFAT...
Hi Guys,
Do you guys able to write to exFat formatted 64GB MicroSD card from Windows7/8? I mounted the card from XZ as a storage and I can see the content of the card but not able to perform any write operations.
Any advise?
Thanks.
I have a rather funny problem tho is that when I copy videos on the card, it wont play on my XZ the first time I insert the card, so I put it back in the card reader in the laptop, played every videos from start, and skip to the last minute, still plays, so no problem with sdcard, that 8gb videos, put back in to phone, and the videos now all plays perfect, wonder why that is.... this is with the 64gb sdxc
also when it doesnt play the video the phone loses the card then mount it back on again, gonna try exFat and see how that goes
result: no problem so far... copied all the backed up from old sdcard on t it, have album on screen while copying and everything pops up very quickly, all videos play perfect, all images perfect, 8gb on it so far, would take a while to fill the card
i bought a samsung 64gb with 70mbps read speed. The newest apparently... not sure if i feel for some marketing trick but whenever i read from sdcard i have never had any lag...
i recommend if you can afford the $70 - $90 price tag
So I was just taking some pictures with my Xperia T, after a few shots, the camera app said it couldn't save the pictures because there was no memory card installed.
I have a 32GB Kingston memory card that's worked flawlessly since I bought it and has never been taken out of the phone since purchase.
How do I fix this?
Thanks for any help guys.
EDIT; the SD card doesn't show up in Windows/ doesn't show up in settings > storage/ can't run Chkdsk on it/ fails to work in Recovery.
Try formatting it. If not im guessing the hardware has problems.

That means it's broken.
I had similar problem and found others have too, Xperia T seems to be breaking cards.
The solution was keep trying the card in your computer, then do a full format to FAT32.
Took me about 15 attempts.
Had the same issue awhile back. Happened right after I watched a movie via MHL. The phone cannot detect the sdcard suddenly. Though card can be detected as a 36MB memory only when inserted in PC. Tried many different things to revive the sdcard but to no avail. Bought new sdcard, this time a Samsung 32GB class 10. Last card was a 32GB class 10 SanDisk one.

Sucks when that happens.
What kind of card did you use, normal microSD, SDHC or SDXC? As only SD and SDHC are supported (SDXC also if formatted differently I believe). If you are using the last 2 formats then make sure your cardreader is capable of reading them else your pc won't see it. For now the only thing I can say is to go look on the Kingston site for any tips/prog to recover/format your card.
