choosing a memory card!

Hi all
Sure we know that htc advantage have MiniSD slot (Up to 4GB; supports SDHC)
So for using memories under 2GB you can use normal one , I have seen a lot of 4GB cards on the net but I do believe they are not approved by Secure Digital as SDHC and here is the pic from http://www.sdcard.org/

The different between them is the price and the most important is the SPEED.
miniSDHC is available in three performance classes, Class 2, 4 and 6, created and defined by the SD Association to help consumers identify speed and performance capabilities/minimum requirements of miniSDHC cards and the host device. Class is dependent on the write-speed of the card, the higher the “Class”, the faster the memory card.
The SD Speed Class Ratings specify a minimum sustained write speed for miniSDHC Cards (Class 2: 2 MB/s; Class 4: 4 MB/s; Class 6: 6MB/s*)
On the net I found two 4gb miniSDHC that is in REASONABLE price
One is class 2 and the other is calss 4
Good luck

and these reasonable prices are ???????????

34$~ 45$

your right that is a good price !! I nearly bought it and then I realised I have no other SDHC devices, not even my fairly newish laptop !! so I have no means of quickly transfering data to or from the card to then place it in my phone, unless I connect my phone Via USB !! if I do that I might aswell put it on the internal drive.

WM5torage!

Just found one in the UK on ebay.co.uk - Class 4 for £18.99 - I'm having one!
Does anyone know what speed the Athena can write at? If it's less than 2 MB/s then it doesn't matter what class it is but if it's more than 4 MB/s then a Class 6 would be better than Class 4.

My card has just turned up and despite it having a pic of a Class 4 card and it specifically saying it was a class 4 device, the card that has been sent is the Transcend class 2 card.
I have emailed them and await their response.
Does anyone know what speed the Athena can read? Will it make a diffrerence?
Thanks

I order 1 and also transcend class 2, not sure if they have it higher...

Transcend don't - my supplier was misled, offered me a £3 rebate or full refund If I wanted. He has changed his listing and appologised, it was a genuine mistake. I have accepted the rebate and am happy with the outcome, he seamed a genuine guy and resolved it quickly and to my satisfaction.
Pity you can't get class 4/6 but not sure what speed the Athena can work at anyway!

[Q] Has anyone opened the Nook Color?

This is a picture from the original Nook's insides:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
As can be seen, in this particular instance, there were two micro-SD cards inside, and therefore one could swap it with a larger one and effectively increase the internal memory of the device.
A similar scenario has occured in several Windows Phone devices.
Any ideas if the Nook's internal 8GB is merely a micro-SD card waiting to be replaced?

Nope, it's a SANDISK 8 GB SSD. The Nook Color likely required much faster Flash memory than an SD card is capable of.
See here:

So, I suppose it is impractical to replace it, right? The size of this SSD does not seem 'stock'.

You mean the physical size (in millimieters) or the logical size (in bytes)?
And out of curiosity: given that you can drop a 32GB microSD card into the NC without opening anything up, why are you so concerned with increasing the size of the onboard SSD?
I've downloaded a ton of apps from the Android market onto my NC and they've barely made a dent in the onboard memory. Meanwhile, I keep 14 GB of movies on my $25.00 16GB SD card and they play great, without so much as a hiccup.

Just that you could theoretically bump it up to 64GB is all. I am happy with 48GB obviously -- but the future of Android tablets will probably hold many exclusive games with quite large installs. I believe it won't be more than a year or two before we see 1-2GB games.

Thanks for this link! It actually answered my next question about being able to replace the battery yourself if needed. I've opened up my share of laptops and other devices, and it looks pretty simple (more so than most other devices).

Elago MicroSD Reader (Tiny!)

I have plenty of micro SD readers, but I wanted to go as small as possible to use with OTG for my multiple android devices, which brought me to my most recent Amazon purchase/delivery; The Elago EL-RD-012 MicroSD Reader. This thing is amazingly compact and utilizes the full speed of my class-10 UHS-1 MicroSD's. I love how the MicroSD slides into the front end of male USB connector. The cost is a little high at 10$ per unit, but I find it to be worth it. If you are in the same boat as me and trying to cut down on size, this is the adapter for you.
Micro SD cards tested and working perfectly:
64GB Sandisk Class10 UHS-1
32GB Sandisk Class10 UHS-1
32GB San Disk Class4
32GB Kingston Class6
16GB San Disk Class4
16GB Patriot Class4

SIZE COMPARISON:
HOW IT LOOKS ON An OTG CABLE:

I've had a few of those (not the same brand/model) but they seem to be very unreliable.
They came with Micro-SD cards i've purchased over the years and they all have stopped working after a very short time.
Hope you have better luck

I guess time will tell. I hope it lasts since the size is perfect.

mine got stuck in a y-cable (that was deep) and when I pulled it out the whole thing fell apart (the back came off and then parts slid out)
amazon promptly replaced it, and haven't had issues since, but beware of deep ports with tight connections <<insert joke here>>

Re picture number two, it goes in the other end m8.

You are mistaken. It goes into the same end that plugs into the USB port. Thats how they make it so small.
I take it you never owned one?

Well so it does! that'll teach me to be a smart alec!

I have one as well. It's awesome and works with all my MicroSD cards no problem. plays movies right off it. I woudl suggest a Class 10, to ensure no choppiness though.

Hard to tell from the Amazon images. Is it a full USB or micro USB connector? i.e., can it just plug directly into the N7?

Full USB, to fit the MicroSD card in it. You must use a OTG Cable to connect it with to N7

That looks great, thanks for posting.
Just got one of these to use with my OTG cable - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FYNSZA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Going to get one of these too though to make use of my micro SD cards.

SD Card for DataOnExt

I will buy a new sd card for my HD2. I have 16 gb kingston class4 but it is really slow and laggy with dataonext roms. Can you suggest me sd card s? And uhs-1 cards are working with HD2? Did you try?

I have SanDisk Ultra 16GB UHS-I and have a lot of lockups with it. I often have to repair ext4 data partiton and sdcard fat32 partition in Magldr after lockups. Because android wont start and locks up during animated logo. I have tried Native-SD and NAND with data on ext. It's all the same. I've read somewhere that UHS-I cars have such problems with HD2. But I'd like also to hear some different opinions, because I try to find a better replacement, but today man can buy a good sd cards only with uhs-i.

I have a Sandisk 16GB ULTRA microSDHC (Class10)

I have test it with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 & 4.2.2 roms and i haven't experience any problems.

I too have a Sandisk 16GB ULTRA microSDHC (Class10) and tested it with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 & 4.2.2 roms .... my advice would be to buy something else. I had a fair few lockups. Usually occurred in that the phone would hang after locking the phone, meaning I couldn't unlock it. Whilst I suppose it increases security the only way to reset the phone was to remove battery and reboot.
Buy something else just to be certain. Kingston seems fine, as do Patriot .... just make sure you get a class 10, especially for NativeSD stuff.

Similarly. Fast enough card. I use it about 6 months on NativeSD ROMs (4.1.2 & 4.2.2).
But I've heard that the stores are selling different cards (different price) under this title and volume.

NativeSD
hi, i install my android on sd via NativeSD.
i have a 16gb class 4 toshiba microsd card
i want to change it to a 32gb class 10.
i wanted to know which microSD card is better... kingstone? toshiba? sandisk? silicon power? or sth else?
and for example sandisk has SanDisk "Extreme Pro microSDHC UHS-I card" or "Extreme microSDHC/microSDXC UHS-I Card" or "Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card" and "SanDisk microSDHC memory card"
what is UHS-I?
what is microSDHC microSDXC?
ultra or extreme or extreme pro?

Device : spice dream uno

Bought the card from amazon U.S for $100.
* so guys it is compatible with sprout devices, go ahead if you wanna have one
thank you and will appreciate your civilized comments and questions (if any) below

Realy realy crazy ????

Crazy but in a good way

Nice but I don't see any use for 200gb card. My 32gb card has nearly 5-6 gb free. I don't think anyone can use anything above 64gb card.
And our Android One 1St Gen Costs around $100
I would prefer getting another phone with this price.
But still, thanks for experimenting.

Now adopt it into your phone's internal storage. For the lulz

Till the time comes when we need 100-200gb for mobile storage, our sprout will not last, maybe more powerful devices with 12gb ram and 250gb internal
But currently no need for a memory card which costs more than the mobile, atleast for me
