Hi Does anyone know what max gb TP2 can do and what is the max speed 2 4 or 6?
thanks
Vig
the TP2 uses SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity, SD 2.0) format.
This is licensed to ensure compatability
Therefore the max is 32gb
I'm still looking for a definitive answer on what the read/write speed in on the card. Class 2, 4, or 6?
Now I'm sure it will support any speed, but what can it actually utilize?
Also, on size, theoretically once you are into SDHC territory 32GB should be the max. However HTC says the limit is 16, http://www.htc.com/us/faqs.aspx?p_id=276&cat=270&id=109966&f=t
I have also found out that at one point some cameras had a 16GB limit. I don't know what the reason for the limitation was for maxing out at 16GB, but it does/did happen on other devices.
So at this point I have seen no evidence to support that the phone can utilize faster than a Class 2 card and I have not come across anyone using a 32GB card. Doesn't mean the TP2 can't handle a bigger card and utilize a faster one, I just haven't heard proof yet.
This is not definitive, but I'll give you my experience. I have a Tilt2 and an A-DATA 16GB class 6. The reviews for the card had people who said they got the full 6MB/s. However, in both my laptop's card reader and my phone (through USB hard drive interface) I get only 4MB/s max. I can't say for sure whether it's the card or the phone. For read speed with the same setup, I get around 9MB/s.
I don't know if maybe the other TP2's are different, but the Tilt2 is advertised as accepting up to 32GB. However, last time I checked the 32GB cards are not on sale yet. They are expected perhaps later this year.

Whats the biggest micro card this phone will support. Are 32gb / 64gb even made?
i ordered this 16gb one, if there are 32 or 64 i want to know too
Kingston Technology SDC2/16GB 16 GB microSDHC Class 2 Flash Card
At the moment the largest card is 16GB.
16g is the largest, but 32g is coming out soon. My guess is that they will be quite expensive and no word on speed. While the class (speed) is in write mode only, it does make a difference when using the camera or writing files to the card.
I got a Ridata 16gig Class 6 microsd three days ago and works great!

The largest Rhodium supports is 32GB.
SDHC specs out at 32GB max.
I think only a few companies make 16GB Class 6 cards. Transcend being one of them. I don't think you can get 32GB ones just as yet and no way you can get a Class 6 one anyway.

and i think before they release 32gb SDHC they'll go the SDXC way with 64 & 128gb model.
if you plan on getting a Transcend card for use with a GSM TP2, be careful. There have been reports of Transcend cards not working well with the TP2. I personally experienced it, when my Class 6 8GB card would randomly disappear from the phone, or when music would skip during playback. Switched to a Sandisk Class 2 8GB that came with my BB Storm, and haven't experienced a single problem.
And also, note that the Transcend card worked great in my BB Storm, BB Bold 9700, LG Incite and Samsung BJII before this. Nothing wrong with the card, just with the TP2.
16gb is the largest built. 32gb is the largest theoretical that sdhc supports. youll need sdxc for more than that. i wonder if rhodium will support this in the future. old htc devices (and samsung) that could only do regular sd that capped at 4gb could do sdhc with a rom/driver update. sdxc supports up to 2tb which will be interesting to see.
The 32g microsd is long over due. Every so often there will be a press release that the 32 will be release within the next month or so. The projected time frame will come and go. There was a PR stating that 64g was in the works.
if a 32gb microsd card is sold i will buy it. i have an 8gb and could get a 16gb surprisingly cheap but i wont buy a stop gap knowing a 32 might be out soon.
I just got my 16gb no name cheapie from hong kong micro sd card for my tp2 in the mail. I spent numerous hours setting it up with the programs I wanted on it music and such. I had used it for about an hour or so and all the sudden the phone went crazy.. somehow the card corrupted it self im guessing cause the phone no longer recognized it or anything on it.. I removed the card and put it in my card reader to my laptop nothing was on it but a mess of folders all with the name ".." I thought maybe I had done something wrong so I formatted it and tried again. same thing happened the next day. I now reverted back to my 8gb sandisk and havent had any problems with it.. I guess its a get what you pay for kinda deal. Maybe there is something I can do I would think flash memory is flash memory but I guess they have their diffrences. Just wanted to share my .02 on my experience I would like to get another 16gb because bigger is better but ill wait it out and see what is to come next.
Biggest MicroSD Card
Sandisk 64GB SDXC formatted Fat32 works.. recognised as 60871.23MB under Settings > System > Memory and by Total Commander File Manager.
I wasn't sure if this belongs in Q&A or in Accessories, so if it's wrong, please move.
I've been reading that a lot of other phones can't make use of a MicroSD card with higher than a Class 6 speeds.
Even if they have a Class 10 Micro SD card, it will only perform at Class 6 speeds.
But writing from computer to MicroSD card (in the phone) can reach Class 10 speeds.
I don't want to spend the extra money on a class 10 card, when it's only going to run at class 6 speeds.
Has anyone been able to find (for certain) that the Evo can make use of any class speeds above 6?
Thanks!
I really hate to bump my own thread, but...
Htc replied to my email.
They say the evo is only capable of reading at class 2 speeds even with a class 10.
Can anyone clear this up for me?
Thanks again.
My Evo made me Swype this from the XDA App.
I am in the same boat as you. I've been searching for an answer on many forums and have found many posts that indicate HTC support representatives testing the EVO up to a class 4 with success. . .
I've also read that people have major problems with 32GB cards.
I have done some personal testing with my EVO and Windows 7 ; assuming the Win7 file transfer screen are close to reliable....cough. I also have USB debugging enabled on the EVO.
Transferring 700MB file:
EVO Samsung class 2, 8GB card ~ 4.64MB/sec (write to card)
Adata class 6, 4GB card ~ 11.8MB/sec (write to card)
I don't have a class 4 card to test with.
Download SD Card Speed Test. My 16gb class 6 checks out as a class 6, and it all runs within the phone.
The only way to find out about class 10 is to have someone with a class 10 card run the test.
Yes the Evo can only as they said, Read at Class 2, however the big thing we are looking for are Write speeds. Which is why we use a higher class. I am using the Wintec 16gb Class 10 card, and i get 9mb/s write speeds to it. And it is also cheap, got mine for 29.99 from the egg.
i currently have a class 10 32GB microSDHC card in my Inc2.. but would like to get a 64GB to put in it. will it support a 64(or for the future, larger)?
I'm pretty sure that the max that it can handle is 32gb
Check This Out

That 64gb card you're looking at is not microSDHC. It is microSDXC. The SDHC (with the micro part included) only allows for up to 32gb in capacity by specification. If you see something larger labeled as a SDHC card, be weary about purchasing it.
This is not to say the Inc2 doesn't support larger capacities. The SD standard is pretty flexible. If HTC didn't cheap out too much it MIGHT be able to read a SDXC card at SDHC speeds (SDXC also has some speed updates in the specification). However, HTC says this thing uses microSDHC so it's probably a good bet that you should stick with SDHC cards.
Anyone used microcenter branded SD cards?
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0366176
CLASS 10 16GB Read Speed Up to 13MBps Write Speed Up to 14MBps
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0304662
Class ?? 16GB
Anyone know the class for the second link? Also, can anyone confirm if they're just any good?
Bump. Anyone? O:
I've never used them, but from the microcenter we have here in MD, usually if anything fails the techs are pretty good about hooking you up with a replacement. Especially with their own name branded equipment... usually.
wrong forum, check the Accessories section, lots of SD card review bench and compar
should be just as good as branded sd cards

Get something better.
You may have to just try it to find out. My experience with most microsd and usb drives is that sometimes the performance doesn't quite match the specs listed. I have a kingston that "should" offer up good performance as stated but after the 3rd replacement I can still only get about 7MB/s write speeds when the advertised rate was 13MB/s. It reads great though...in the 20mb/s range for large contiguous files.
The spec for the Tab S4 states the memory is "expandable up to 400GB via microSD card".
Has anyone tried to install a 512GB micro SD card?

Thank you. Much appreciated.
Just a heads up, most OEM's only list the sd cards available at the time of launch. This is a proven fact that this size works but how can you say a 2 tb card will work if it hasn't been tested?
They will NEVER state that a higher card will work if it hasn't been tried as this is false advertising and can lead to being sued if later it turns out to be false.
Best advice, theoretical limit of SDXC is 2 Tb, if your phone/tablet can handle a 64gb sd card it should be able to handle anything up to that, beware of format though (FAT32, exFAT OR NTFS) as some devices are limited by software...
And this has been discussed before....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/accessories/best-memory-card-t3937631
Per that thread, Ultramag also has a 512gb card
And I've used an external 1TB hard drive without problems; the system sees it as a USB storage drive. Only complication is that it is NTFS. How I wish NTFS played better with Android.
I've gone back and forth on which brand to go with for 512MB; most reviews suggests SanDisk Extreme has the best performance (higher read speeds + equal write speeds), but it is nearly twice the cost of Samsung, PNY, and others ($160ish vs $90ish). I wish I could get a 1 TB SanDisk, but way outside my price zone. I'm planning on going with PNY once my CC rewards Amazon card gets delivered.

So I got my new card. I couldn't be happier. My write speed has gone from 15 MB/s to 50 MB/s. Read speed is 80MB/s.
My old card:
SanDisk 400GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - up to 100MB/s read speed and no write speed specified, Class 10, U1, Full HD, A1
My new card:
PNY U3 Pro Elite MicroSD Card - 512GB, Class 10, U3, V30, A2, up to 100MB/s read speed and up to 90MB/s write speed
I don't pretend to fully understand all the techno babble related to micro SD cards -- U-This, V-That, Class-Whatever, Up-To-Speed that isn't attainable in real life. But this is noticeably faster for transferring from internal memory to the external card.
Go for the highest speed ratings you can -- it is worth it.
Joe
FYI, because I read $160 for a 512GB card, I just bought a SanDisk Extreme 400GB at Amazon.de (ASIN B07FCQRN9K, sold and shipped from Amazon) for EUR 74. It's back at EUR 99 right now, but I bet it will some down again before Christmas. Also the Samsung 512GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC Evo Select (ASIN B07MKSGZM6) is at $65 right now. That's the same card as the Samsung Evo Plus, it's just a rebrand for Amazon. It has pretty lousy *random* write speeds, and thus no A1 or A2 rating, but is fine for sequential writes, so if you're worried about copying larger files from internal storage, it should be just as fast as a SanDisk Extreme doing that.
And I just see that amazon.com has the 400 GB extreme for $78 right now, so if you don't strictly need the extra 112 GB, you can save the extra 50-60 bucks. So these days, if you aren't setting your mind on a specific model you can get good value for the money.
