This is more to do with Accessories. Since it's not specifically Prophet related, I shall move it to the general accessories forum...
Sorry I can't help with info on where to buy them...

i think they got the best prices for storage cards. make sure to read the customer's reviews before you buy the card.

There are other devices that can't use SDHC (Wizard for example), and, you'll get more notice here!
Newegg seem relatively good generally on prices.

yeah thanks =)

I'd really suggest e-bay...
I needed 8gb sdhc micro sd and bought it for €25 on ebay...
Excellent quality and not as others might say, "with a lot of hassle"...
Ebay is really safe & easy AND cheap!

4GB MicroSDHC with HTC Touch ?

Can the HTC Touch take 4GB MicroSDHC cards?
i heard that the newer ppc's should support it. I hope im right
anyone else know anything about this?
The specifications for the HTC Touch says it supports the standard "SD 2.0". This standard includes SDHC (Cards from 4-32gb), and have seen a few users say they are using a 4gb card in their touch (search will reveal who).
Here (DK) the only 4gb MicroSDHC card available is Class 2, so I wont be going for the 4gb (or 8gb for that matter) card until I can get atleast Class 4, preferably Class 6.
You can read more about SDHC in general on wikipedia.
Hi,i'm actually using 4gb microsd HC from SanDisk.
Everything work perfect without any problem.
Mine Touch have Italian software but i don't think different language firmware could have limitations about memory size....i hope
Bye.

you said that you have a 4Gb Card.
were did you buy it?
Tanks
Hi,from ebay the object number is :160135130187 but maybe now you'll find more than this model cause the demand is growning......and maybe the price will be lower.
8 gb sdhc actually used in a touch, anybody ?
has anybody actually used an 8 gb micro sdhc card in a touch yet?
i know there was some discussion about the availability of this size card, and that it was available for quite a few pounds(dollars for me), and i believe someone had purchased it, but never really heard of the results.
if someone has please post, and please let us know where it was purchased and for how much. also, if outside us whether you know if it can be delivered to the usa.
thanks in advance

Did you test the card? E.g. fill it up to over 2gb, like 2.5gb and then see if the phone writes on it etc. 'Cause the picture on Ebay appears different from the one that Verizon carries which should be the real one.
It is good that it works on the Touch, since I just ordered a Touch. I've tested my card, it works flawlessly on the TyTN and I filled it up to test.
Test done
Just end the fill up test on SDHC 4 gb,no problem it works
I've made some copy of 98mb files and also 2 copy of tomtom map file (about 518mb) now memory info report just 84.03 mb free and 3794.47 used of 3878.50 total space on microSd card.
Thank to Doni for suggest me the test.
Pls guys forgive my poor english.
Using sandisk hdsc 4gb card for a week now in my touch and works like a charm. Can't wait for the 8gb lol! bought on amazon. these cards are hard to locate.
Can also confirm that 4Gb Sandisk card works fine in Elf. For the UK guys you can get them here

how significant is class 2 and class 6 micro sdhc cards? compared to the standard 50x micro sd cards.
the class 6 micro sd sdhc doesnt come cheap but the class 2 and class 4 seems reasonable..
I got the 4GB Sandisk card today and it works well.

Damnit, knew I should have waited...

That's a SD not a SDHC card. It will still work though.
You can get the 4Gb SDHC card on eBay for £32 and you also get a Micro SD to SD Card Adapter and a SDHC USB Card reader in with the price

The fact that its 4GB means it has to be SDHC... The HC stands for High Capacity
maybe not.
there is a 4gb sd and 4gb sdhc.
have just got a 4GB SDHC Micro Sd card from Amazon including an sd to micro adapter and a sandisk micromate (adapter type thing not used yet) for £24.95 + p+p in total came to less than £30.
Works fine for me so far despite HTC telling me they only support 2 GB cards, mine is an MDA touch from Tmonile but I dont think that will make much difference.

No he's right. On research I find SD only goes up to 2Gb. The SDHC uses FAT32 file system to be able allow higher capacities. 8Gb card coming out next year.
Anyway, for me extra 2 squids I got a couple of adaptors.

32 gb sdhc card problem

So I decided to upgrade my cureent 8gb sd card for a 32gb one, I bought it from amazon (with all the ebay sd card fraud rumors I decided not to take any chances) and I had install it on my phone copied my 8gbs data unto the card and suddenly after disconnected after copying data for the second time, the phone does not want to read it. It only tells me sd card ready unmount on the notification bar I try to mount on the settings it but it doesn't work, I also tried formatting it but it won't do it either on the phone. Anyone please help I really have no idea why this happen, well I think because maybe because I didn't format the sd card prior installation?

Possibly a defect return it. Or u probably bought it off an individual seller from amazon. Are u talking about sd or microsd because i think micros go more than 50
Sent from my Arc using XDA premium App
i got mine from amazon for 54 USD. works fine. so, i'd day, yeah, return it if at all possible. its defective.
I only have 4 gigabyte SD card , no money to buy 32 gigabyte
Yup yu guys were right I contacted the seller and he gave me a full refund because he admitted he had receive a batch of defective micro sd cards smh, all I say to this is, do not buy things like memories on amazon or ebay, newegg is by far much more reliable. I went on the reviews on amazon for the defective product and saw users review it as bad for the same problem I was facing.
And Trust me I tried everything to get the card to work I tried the switch on the adapter and other alternatives like formatting programs ect, it has been a pain. To all of this I'm just glad I got my refund.

Yea it was too cheap to be true, I order one from newegg for 67 dollars with free 2 day shipping from shoprunner, it was more expensive but base on the product review which none were below 4 stars, the product seems legit and not counterfiet like my previous order from amazon, I also notice that the 32 gb sign on the card I purchased @ newegg was located on a different location than the counterfiet one.

As an experienced Sd user, I would like to point out that often the reader used with the pc to format/write data to the card is at fault. With the SDHC format, you need to have the appropiate SDHC reader, otherwise corruption will occur.

Well I tried with the sdformat 3.0 program for sdhc cards and it didn't work even when the switch was away from the lock side I even put tape so it doesn't slide and it didn't work it would tell me the card is disk write protected and the windows 7 formatter would tell me windows was unable to complete format.
And what reader do you recomend for micro sd card formatting? I have one coming tomorrow and don't want this to happen again or maybe it won't because this one hopefully won't be counterfiet

I don't think that will work. Is it SDHC? I have a 32 GB class 10 and I had to do a full format on my PC to get it to work with Android.
Didn't know there are 64gb microSD cards already...Still looking for 32gb with 17mb/sec write...$50 at NewEgg, but it lasts like couple of days before sold out..
The AT&T store told me 64G cards won't work. That's too bad. I'd like to get at least a 32G eventually.
Can one buy any 32G microSD card? I don't need anything fancy, it just needs to work.

I remember 4-5 years ago when 16gb just came out, many phones didn't support them, yet they worked together ok, it's just manufactures didn't test it, that's all...maybe it's same case here, unless it's not SDHC anymore.

Yes you can, but you might want to check compatibility for 32 GB cards. I know there is an issue with 32 GB class 10 cards. You have to do a full format on them in order for Android to see them.

I am pretty sure the 64 GB micro SD cards are not SDHC. Atleast I haven't see one that was.
64gb micro sd cards are SDXC. They've been proven to work on SGS2, Sensation, Droid Razr, Asus Transformer tab, even on a Nook and SGS1.
64gb cards are supported, just not officially.
As I understand it, there's no difference mechanically between SDHC and SDXC. The main difference is the file system they use, so the OS just needs to be compatible with the new file system and it should work. As the post above notes, android is already proven compatible but until someone tries one in a Nitro it's tough to say that it'll work for sure.
The other difference between SDHC and SDXC is support for speeds higher than class 10, which an SDHC host wouldn't be able to take advantage of.
I've seen a thread on here where someone used a 64gb card in the Nitro with success. It may have been the thread titled "Crappy SD card..."?

LOL! Great title ain't it? Sticks in the head for a while Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417920
unfortunately, no one has yet to try the 64gb SDXC card just yet, most likely due to the astronomical price range. Below is one from amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...WIA2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327458819&sr=8-1
Just posting to confirm that the 64gb SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDXC Class 6 (that I ordered from Amazon here for $55.00) works perfectly in the Nitro! Just pop it into the phone to format it. The phone will initially say it's damaged, let the phone format it, and then you're good to go! (I'd read that for other android phones, trying to format this card on the pc and then using it on the phone doesn't work that well, so I went straight for the phone formatting method). It shows 59.46 GB of space usable. I've filled it all up to test it, and it seems to work just fine! It's only class 6, so I only get about 6 to 8 MB/s write speeds, but I think that's plenty fast for the phone. There is also a class 10 version of this card for 25 bucks more on Amazon, but, for me, it didn't warrant the extra cost. Just letting you guys know in case you're digital hoarders like me! =)
I just got SanDisk Ultra 64GB class 10 micro SDXC .. it worked like charm.
first it says memory card error and need to format... just format and mount it ... it shows 60GB available space ... :laugh:
HIT thanks if that helps !!

64GB Models, anywhere?

Are the 64GB models already available anywhere? Anyone has a reference? Thanks.
Sorry dude, been looking for one as well and its no where! We might have to wait a few months!
Right, who knows when and where will these show up... if ever, of course. But if they do hopefully we'll hear about it here.
The N7000 32Gb models showed up a few months after the launch, initially in Austria, and the 64Gb 10.1 Notes became available at launch, but only in Russia so far, AFAIK.
Doesn't look like the 64 and 32 Gb models are available yet, e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927370 ...
Any news? Anybody spotted these anywhere?
My phone is a 80GB model - 16GB internal and 64GB Sandisk micro SDXC card

Please try to stick to the original topic, but if you feel like you absolutely must post about the 64GB micro SD card in the external slot, then at least look at the couple of posts below first:

People's needs vary... For example I have "96GB model" N7000, so "your 80GB model" N7100 is hardly an upgrade from the storage point of view
i think it is samsung trick to increase sales. When sales doesnt increase a lot, they release 32gb version, when 32gb versions sales doesnt increase a lot, they release 64gb, something like was with s3. Just my 50 cent

Thanks for the link! YouTube shows that the video was uploaded two months ago. So if the guy in the video is correct, then that would mean that the 64GB model was available, pretty much, at launch in Korea... But we haven't heard anything, have we?
All we have is him saying that "it's a 64GB version" in the video, or something to that effect. I didn't notice any shots in the video showing that it was indeed so... I wonder if it actually is a 64GB model?..
It is. There's another video he has that shows proof. He also has a xda account. Maybe you could try messaging him?

Samsung 64GB Class 10 Micro SD SDXC UHS-1 Grade 1 Pro Memory Card 70MB/s.
Expensive but worth every single cent.
The 64GB UHS-1 from Samsung is the best memory card I have every had.
Greetings from Germany
I purchased a Sandisk Ultra Class 10 on Amazon. It works great - no problems at all.
(seems I'm a "can't post links yet" noob still) The item number is B007WTAJTO
I would recommend purchasing from a reputable vendor, as in "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com". I had a Amazon seller send me a Class 2 unbranded card with a SD reader when I ordered a Class 4 Sandisk card with microSD reader. Very annoying and I suspect intentional.
Ernthelfer, have you done any speed testing on your Samsung card?
Thanks for the suggestions fellas appreciate that. :good:
I also have the Sandisk 64GB. I'm wondering HOW to test the speed and for bad blocks using my unrooted GN 10.1.(Can't use my PC for testing.)
