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

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.

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.

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.
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 have a 8GB kingston sd card in my tmous g2. i just bought a 16GB PNY sd card and im having troubles having it read by my computer(mac and pc) and my phone. heres what i did:
i copied all of my files from my sdcard to my computer via data cable so i could jut transfer them to my 16GB card. i put the 16 card in my card reader that came with it, into my computer and it wouldnt read it, so i tried the 8 in the same card reader of the PNY and it worked. then i tried to put the PNY card into my phone and it wouldnt recognize it. im not sure what to do.
why cant my phone or my computer read the card? its not the reader because my kingston card worked with it. is it because of the two different brands? any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance!

I had this same problem when upgrading the SD card in my HD7. I went out and got a Microcenter branded 32gig SD card and swapped it into my HD7. Worked flawlessly. A friend of mine got jealous because of the read/write performance increase, so he went out and bought the exact same thing. Only difference was that his kept locking up on him instead. He returned it and got the same exact size and brand card. After installing it, it worked just as good as mine. Turns out he just got a bad card the first time.
Sounds like the problem is in the card itself. If the PC won't even recognize it then there's probably something wrong with the card. Different brands shouldn't matter because the PNY card adapter worked fine with the Kingston 8gig card.
I'd return it if possible and get a different one.
I also just got a 16GB PNY card and I have had no problems with it reading data or having data be read off it.

Yep, I agree this is probably the issue. PNY cards are cheaply made and not great quality.
was wondering if anybody tried a 64 gb on their p930 hd???

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.

Never ask an AT&T store stuff like that. They prob never tested it.

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:

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.

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 !!
Something is fishy with our SD cards (both my wife and I), since they've somehow seemed to "go bad" about 2 weeks apart. We both have the S3 16GB and I bought two 32 GB SanDisk cards for our phones. Everything seemed fine until about 2 weeks ago when her card went out, then last night my card seems to have gone bad too. All the phone says is it's "safe to remove the card", can't access the card in any way. I currently can't find my adapter to test the micro card in my laptop, but I should at some point. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this with their SD cards?
I had a problem with my 64gb Sandisk card that went bad duing a rom flash. I have EASEUS Partition (can be downloaded free) installed on my PC and the partition on the SD card was missing. I reformated the partition using FAT32 and it has been fine now for over two weeks.
Just a note I now remove my SD card when I flash ROMs. I know it should be safe but it takes a few hours to rebuild 58gb.
This phone fried my 16gb card
What class sdhc is it?

My 64gb SanDisk errored too within the first week. Formatted and working since. Mine stopped working when I changed a battery (yes, the phone was off).

I'm having the same problem with my 32gb sandisk class 4. it was working fine on my LTEVO but the moment I put it on in my GS3 the card went dead.
32GB Class 10 PNY formatted to FAT32 has been flawless for me...and I've used the same sd card in two previous devices (E4GT & Evo LTE)

Class 4 SanDisk and I bought them on Amazon. Wasn't a bulk type card without proper packaging either, it arrived in the mail packaged like what you would see in B&M's. In any case, I'm going to need to locate my adapter so I can attempt to format them.

I find it hard to believe that there is actually a "bad batch" of SD cards from SanDisk... I have a friend that also has an S3 (Verizon) that said his 32 GB card (not sure of the class) went bad as well. It would make more sense that the S3 is somehow making them bad or not recognizing them anymore. However, most of my assumptions may just be wishful thinking.
I had some problems that I think were more CM9/exFAT support related with a 64gb UHS-1 card. I used this to format it and it's been fine since
