Dear All,
I was thinking of buying a 4GB SD card for my Xda Exec but i'm not quite sure if it supports it. Could someone please enlighten me on this, thanks alot.
regards,
Ravi
really interested to know your experience on this, or anyone else, as I am also looking.
This seems pretty cheap:
http://www.offtek.co.uk/item_detail.php?id=406125
Transcend do a compatability list, but doesn't have exec:
http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/FAQ/index.asp?axn=Detail&FAQNo=400
This is £109. Seen any cheaper for 4gb ?
interesting info:
Apparently, the 4gb sd card doesn't work on the treo650 as 4gb sd cards are in fat32 format and treo only accepts cards in fat format and not fat32 format.
Does exec recognise fat32 sd cards ?
Saw one on e-bay a couple of days ago for about £85 including shipping. I believe it was 150X speed (22Mbps). Will see if i can locate it, if you are interested.
cheers,
Ravi
Hey Everyone,
bought a couple of days ago a 4Gb SD card on ebay for £85.00.
Got it yearsterday put it in the Xda Executive works with no problem.
I formated it with Pocket Mechanic in FAT 32.
Copied all my stuff from my only 2GB MMC to the 4GB SD card a pop it in the XDA Executive and up to now I've had no problems.
Works Great.
The make of the card is:
My Flash
150X Turbo

Gigino, can the camera save to the card? That appears to be where most people have had problems
Hey Coldpenquin,
I tried what you have said to save a camera photo to the Storage card.
You are right they is a problem I get a error message saying:
Camera
Unable to capture.
Not enough memory.
36009:110:0
So it looks like that the 4Gb card does not work 100% on the Xda Exec.
Any another problem that I should be aware of.
Hope this is helpfull.
Any another person what me to try something please let me known.
Ciao
Gigino
the only card I know that does 150x is the transcend. wonder if this is the same OEM as the mycard ?????
Does camera save work ok on the 2gb ?
If you have an o2 xda exec it might worth a support email or call to o2. It sounds like a simple issue to fix, just some check in the camera software that is failing probably being due to using 32 bit integer, as this is 2gb address. 33bit is 4gb
just found out, myflash is actually adata.
adata is a good memory company, I have 2gb ddr2 in my pc from adata and np. They also make SD cards from samsung.
I never use the camera in any event. Cards the seem to be available in the uk:
Transcend (offtek)
Pretec
Myflash-adata (ebay)
Samsung-adata (samsung)
Ora (expansys)

I've had the same problem 5 months ago when I bought the 4GB Transcend. That is why I returned mine. The only solution is to store more than 2MB of whatever you want on the 4GB SD Card before the camera application will even recognize it. The camera application only supports up to 2GB Cards from my experience.
hey cktlcmd, r u saying that if more then 2m are stored in the photo sub-folder then the camera works as normal ?
+ personal qu. aren't you a bit pissed that you can't use umts in new jersey ?
I think that he means 2GB.
Basically, if you try and store a number greater that 2GB (i.e., 33bit), in a 32bit integer, the number will be returned as negative when read back as a 32bit integer. The camera program must be converting the amount of free space to a 32bit integer, which is not a correct assumption to make, but this is microsoft.
I was wondering whether the flash could be partitioned to be two 2GB partitions and whether this would fix the problem. But, if the programmers were so lazy not to check the bounds on variable or that they are the correct types, then it would probably not be possible to see the second partition

Coldpenguin is right.
Unfortunately, we have to accept our service providers' limitations.
Using 4Gb card for already few months and works great.
it is a 150X.
Of course, you can't use it to save pictures, but this is a pure software problem.

there is one, it's the Orange network.
So, can I confirm from you guys? Since I'm about to buy a 4GB SD Card, too.
1. Both Transend and Adata 4GB will work on Universal.
2. Only camera application cannot store directly to the SD Card, but if we have the SD Card filled up with more than 2 GB amount of data, then the camera can store files on it? Has anyone try it before, or its just an assumption?
Thanks in advance.
I can personally speak to the 4gb Transcend - works exactly as you described in #2. fill with at least 2gb and camera saving to card works fine.
Hey guys (&girls?)
DId anyone of you discovered the same problem as I did in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=269843#269843
I just tried the camera to save to the 4GB SD Card (Transcend x150) and had no problems with the two pictures I took.
Saved them directly to the Card in folder

Someone posted that the newest QTEK ROM fixes this 4GB Camera problem. I have this ROM installed in my device but I don't have a 4GB card to test on.
Just thought some of you guys would like to know.
Hi there,
Bro has just picked up an Xda Orbit and I wanted to know if there are any high speed Micro SD cards at 1GB or 2GB available?
Since my Xda2i days, I've been impressed with the Transcend range but they dont seem to do any hi speed micro sd cards - or at least I can't see them listed !
I'm open to other's Sandisk etc but I'd like them to be hi speed cards
Can anyone point me to sites which have them please?!
Cheers!

Right hand side 2gb £49.99 +postage, I bought one just before Christmas all cool.
But note the thread on MicroSD issues on the Artemis/Orbit in other thread - issues with the PDA not SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
i can only recommend the card mentioned by ricardoC above. have been using it for about twelve weeks now and had no issue with it at all. you should keep in mind though, that afaik,the speed of a card INSIDE a ppc device is purely dependant on the speed of the device. therefore the stated read and write speeds not applicable. nevertheless i FIND the card to perform faster in my hero in comparison to sd cards inside my mdac one.

got mine here: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270057565199
SanDisk memory products have never given me any problems, plus there is 5 year warranty here in Switzerland.
I used a "standard" SD in my old BlueAngel and when I changed it for an UltraII Sandisk SD TomTom map access/scrolling was a LOT faster. Its true the card is only as fast as the interface but you want to get the max out of it so fastest card you can get is best.

It might be true on a Blue Angel but the standard SanDisk SD card is more than fast enough for the Magicians SD interface so buying an Ultra version is just a waste of money.
Disregard my reply, I thought I was still in the Magician forum.
It might be true for the Artemis though.

high speed micro sd card - update
Hiya
I ordered a 1GB Sandisk Ultra 2 card for my bro's orbit and hopefully it'll work without hiccups and possible corruptions!
My bro's Orbit will be my little test unit and if all is well, I'll get one too ! and the same micro SD card of course!
thanks for the pointers
Cheers, Dennis! West London UK!
Depending on what you want it for note that TomTom's single map of western europe is 900mb - so it will nearly fill a 1gb card, just thought I would mention it.
I use transcend never have any problem with P800w or Artemis
i'm using this brand since Dopod 818Pro or XDA NEO
Does anyone know for sure if this phone is compatible with 64gb microsdxc cards. I need more storage and there are reports of these cards working with a lot of android handsets. I'd love to use my phone with a 64 gig card but if not I might have a reason to upgrade to a S2.
nope, max it can take is 32
no chance man
@bortak: is there any proof or is it just according to the official htc specs of the desire?
my opinion is: we can't tell unless somebody bought a 64gb microsdxc and put it physically in a htc desire to see what happens. until then i am not willing to loose my hope ;-)
greetings from a tropical paradise
peter
well theres no proof but for sure you can try it but who want to buy a 64gb card if it probably wont work with the device? and why should htc give wrong specs to us(the customers)?
In my opinion are 32gb more then enough, if someone want to try it with the 64gb card, just try it!

Far as I know NO known devices even support SDXC so.. there you go
These 64GB sdxc still aren't widespread are not compatible with sdhc devices.
The HTC Desire does not accept SDXC cards.
@bortak and crimnous: just check this link http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
@loler90: for instance in germany you can place an order at every (german) internetshop and you always have the right to open and test the goods and return it within 14days or a month (i do not remember exactly) without any reason. your money is refunded completely if the value of the product is above 40 euros otherwise you pay the shipping costs. so i could imagine someone give it a try without the risk of loosing 160 euros which is the current price of a 64gb microsdxc on the german market.
greetings
peter
@peter_altherr iknow it, i am german, but it sucks if you have to go to the shop again to give it back
anyways the package of the sd card sucks
Fact: Desire supports only SDHC cards. End of story.
terepin, have you already tried it (reformat a microsdxc to fat32 and put it into a desire), so you can say fact?

I would be wary of using a SDXC card long term even if it works at first. My Lexar 32GB SDHC Class 10 worked fine for a couple of weeks in my HD2 utilising a 1GB EXT3 for apps, but then corruptions crept in on the EXT3 partition. Even after a reformat/reset of the phone, a couple of weeks later the same thing happened.
I spoke to HTC who reckoned that class 4 is supported on HTC phones but no higher. Something to do with access times being slow as the pay off for high transfer speeds, thus corruption occurred since the HD2 was not handling the slow access times appropriately.
So, an SDXC may appear to work but you better make sure you have a good backup regime in place that doesn't rely on the SDXC at least until it has proved itself over some considerable time.
Meanwhile my class 10 SDHC is now working perfectly happily in my Xoom tab.
this explanation sounds really strange to me, sorry.

Maybe it sounds clearer if I put it like this:
Either Lexar's implementation of the Class 10 standard, or the Class 10 standard itself is not supported by the HTC HD2, according to HTC Customer Support. A year ago they told me this - it may have changed for newer models but that was their stance back then. The HD2 & Desire are likely to share some common hardware regarding SD cards cos they were release quite close together.
In my practical experience, the Lexar Class 10 32GB microSDHC, using a 1GB EXT3 partition with the rest in FAT32, apparently worked fine for a couple of weeks. Then the HD2 failed needing a reinstallation of the ROM/EXT.
After this reinstallation, it happened again after a couple of weeks.
Since using a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 with 1GB EXT3 & the rest in FAT32, & the same ROM, the problem did not repeat.
I am awaiting delivery of my Sandisk 32GB Class 4 which will be similarly configured & I am confident it will be fine too.
What makes me wary of the idea of using a SDXC in an "unsupported" device is that incompatability may not show immediately - it may take some time in use to corrupt something vital to the operation of the device (eg. apps on an EXT) or your data.
Just saying - take care!
incompatibilities between certain sdcards and controllers in cardreaders are nothing new they exist since those devices are existing. I would not blame it to the class10 standard which in reality is no standard itself it is a part of the sdhc standard. classXX defines just a speed class guaranteeing you certain permanent read/write data rates.
i fully agree with the rest of your comment. operating something out of its specs requires special attention.
greetings

I know I'm dragging up an old thread but thought you may like to know. I've been running an sdxc card in my Desire for a few months now and all is well. The card is nearly full and working fine with an EXT4 partition for apps. I've found some implementations of apps2sd+ can be a bit temperamental but the version in Mildwild Oxygen is working fine
The only thing I had to do was reformat the card to fat32. I've no longer needed to carry an iPod and happy that I can transfer the card to a new phone when I move on

It was a Sandisk from Amazon. I would guess Sandisk have probably changed the card since mind as I'd got it when they were first released. I did find it had problems when formatted in exfat on my S3 but it worked fine formatting back to fat32. Sandisk apparently fixed this in later versions.

I purchased a sandisk 64G microSD for my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Out of curiosity I tried the Sandisk on my ICS 4.0.3 Iconia Tab A100 and it worked fine, no issues. Just an FYI for those who want the ultimate amount of storage. I had to format the SD first....

thanks for the advise, what class is your sd card?
Class 6, 64GB the sandisk red and gray one (I can't post links apparently, <10 posts).
I got the iconia for $159 from Daily deals about a month ago and so far it has totally exceeded all my expectations. Truly a great tablet.... The SD was on special for $59 including shipping, from adorama, which wasa deal also! This unexpected ability to work with a 64GB SD means my iPad 3 is now staying home!

I was having issues trying to use a SanDisk 32 GB mini. It would format in Fat32 (would take forever to format) and would appear to work for a while on the A100 but then I would start getting strange "unable to write" error messages from different apps.
I am not sure of the class, could having the wrong class card be a cause of my problems?
Thanks!

Hey have you tried the memory swap using it???? If it works i'll be placing an order for one this Friday
I'm not sure what you mean by memory swap, can you clarify please?

Its a mod. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422158.
Please fill the card, I've been down this road before, sometimes the size will report correctly but after the data actually exceeded the devices working specs the data becomes corrupted. Please check it out.

There is no reason for it to not work. If the system can use the card and mount it the swap will work. That being said, it may still only use 32gb if the cards capacity. The tegra2 itself is rated for 64gb however the iconias other hardware may not handle it so well.
If he could report back at 40gb if it works OK then that would cement it working or not. I mean like fill it with whatever to 40gb, slap on a movie and watch it for corruption. I'd test it but I only have 32gb and smaller.

OP here. I'm not going to try the memory swap, as I have no need and don't want to break anything, the associated warnings are pretty dire.
I have ~19GB free on the 64GB MicroSD and no problems accessing, reading and deleting files.

I have an unlocked Rogers Samsung Captivate Glide (i927R) running gingerbread (since Kies doesn't want to update it to ICS, and I haven't gotten around to rooting it), and it seems to be eating through SD cards. I had a 32gb micro SD card in there, but the phone decided to stop reading it after about a month and a half. Nothing else can read the card either; not my computer, not another phone, not even my camera can read the card. This is the second 32gb card it's happened to, and I'm starting to think that maybe it's my phone. When I have the card in the phone, it simply says "Unavailable" when I check under storage, although the phone can still read other SD cards.
Does anyone else have problems with this phone (i927R) killing SD cards? Am I simply just overloading the SD card, or is there some possibility that the phone is burning them out? Should I go for a 16gb card and see if it doesn't burn out, since smaller cards seem less likely to burn out?
Any help is appreciated.

The last one that burned out was a Transcend, and I don't remember what the first one was. but I don't think it was a particularly high quality brand. I will be sure to get a better quality card next time.
Do you think downsizing to a 16gb card would reduce the chances of a burnout?

It's a crapshoot man ... I've had kingstons bad out of the box at a couple of sizes, the flash drives I had die were 16gb Corsair USB3's and rated with high speed..
just make sure you get a class 10 and read up on some reviews ... Newegg is really great for it, lookup the brand, price etc. and then to buy it at a local store and have them price match...
I should really get in the habit of backing up all the information on my phone more than once i run out of space
*EDIT* .. The current one I use is G.Skill 32GB .. Lifetime Warranty. Comes w/ full size SD adapter.
