Anyone tried a 32Gb micro SD card? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I was wondering if anybody had tried one of these in the TP2 yet? Do they work?

Anyone tried one from this seller? Too good to be true at £28?

Just bought one last week from ErwinComp, put it in my Tilt2 Friday PM. Works just fine.

wow...i hope this thread takes off, as i will be following this one intently...i hope it's true...i have just about maxed my 16gb kingston with music and i want to add movies...
i read somewhere that the 32gb would not work, so i hope that statement can be disproved...

I notice that Erwincomp are around the $150 mark, whereas the eBay seller was around $40. Must the eBay ones (there's more than one) be a complete fake??

the british listings wont ship to america but theres alot from china (charinging in aud $) that ship to america. i bought one for about $26 (usd). ill let you know if its the real deal.

yall are very braves souls...im too scared to try a cheap-o card...

well, they are labeled as sandisk cards, which are not cheap-o. they are the inventors of transflash which is the first name of microsd. ebay canceled my purchase saying its probably someone who just wants my money and wont give me the storage card. paypal contacted my bank and told them not to move any money. its no loss i guess but i was looking forward to finally having a 32gb card even though i most likely would have never gotten it. i had skipped buying a 16gb card hoping soon a 32gb card would come out and i waited forever and 8gb isnt doing it. i got the 8gb card free with my touch pro. will i ever have a 32gb card?

I just tried my luck on one of these and it was a mistake:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230496569920
The card looked fine, so I copied about 16Gb of data to it (on a Windows machine). When I put the card into the phone most of the files weren't visible. I then put the card back into the PC and they were invisible there as well.
Looks like these are fakes - oh well, let's see how I get on getting a refund....

i did buy one. ebay had canceled the account and bid but payment still went through. apparently it was shipped but i checked the tracking information and it hasnt moved in quite a while so i might just give up. if it comes in, ill let you know if its legit or not. you might want to try reformatting the card. there was a nice hp tool that does it properly. i reformat all new cards, it saves from having problems in the long run.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml try that.

eBay seller smithadamsmith has Verizon branded sealed Sandisk 32GB microSDHC's (the only sane way to buy any right now) for $105 shipped 2 day UPS.
Mine works great in my Tilt 2, speed class 2 not as underspec'd as their 16GB cards, but plenty fast enough for 1.87GB Avatar movies and running Android 2.2 off card directly.

yeah its horrible. my pics and vids were saved to storage card. almost every time i tried to save a video or take a pic it would freeze up. it was a no name so i cant speak for the sandisk but im assuming its speed class is just too low

Does anyone know of any good deals for 32Gb cards delivered to the UK? The best I can find is Sandisks on Amazon for £81.

The eBay seller I mentioned above ships internationally.

http://imgur.com/Yoatf&5DBj8 it arrived! and it works. i bought it on ebay, ebay canceled my bid, killed the auction and the seller. but i was charged and it was shipped. 2 and a half weeks later, here it is. it needed a formatting and i tried letting windows do it but i ended up resorting to the hp usb disk wipey tool thingy. but after that it worked perfectly. i was going to just dump my old card on to the new one but i actually went through and deleted old and duplicate cabs, backups, and other crap and got it down from 7.5gb to 2.5gb so i have almost 30gb free.
one thing gives me wonders. the auction and packaging says its a class 2 but the card says class 4. im not really worried though cause it works.

Have you checked that it will take 30Gb of data?

yep. i tried loading a bunch of topgears on it. but i had to stop because it was taking a while and the space never seems to run out. but if i ever have 2 days solid to watch top gear on my phone. ^_^

Filling the card reveals the TRUE capacity of cheap Chinese cards, which too often will register as claimed capacity, UNTIL their actual capacity reached shows deceitful trick with far less available.

I found that I could copy files onto my eBay card without any problems, and the card registered the disk space being used. When I removed the card and re-inserted it most of the files were gone however (although the folders were still there).
I tried reformatting the card but got exactly the same result.

32GB MicroSD - working in X10

Just in case anybody was wanting a hands on confirmation....
How much did that cost you?
$199US direct from Sandisk US online store (selling it exclusively at release, and still exclusive through them but also available from their UK store, problems with stock currently). I got it shipped to NZ using Shipito, which is an excellent service for us non-US residents.
Expensive, but then I've had the money saved over a year now since the 32GB cards were meant to be released ages ago!
Why the hell did you pay that sum of money for card !?!? )) DO you really need it or just for fun ? Because maybe it would be smarter to buy now 16 Gb for like 50$ and when that become small, in year or two, buy 32 Gb for 50-100$, because that would be the price in 2 years....but cheers to your purchase
You have no idea how sick I was of not having all my music on the phone, along with room for apps etc. I've had a 16GB card since their first release and its chafed continually since then.
Besides, 32GB cards were expected ages ago, so I've had the money saved! I budgetted to pay even more to be honest, and still would have made the purchase in a heart beat if they had turned as expensive as I had estimated...
Then enjoy it !
thanks on confirmation ,i really wanted it
I have heard some noise about the 32gb not working for what ever reason. I know we have had one user claim that it is working on there device. Is there anyone else who has had problems with the 32gb? Or, are there any other success stories to be heard?

What 'noise' have you heard ? I know personally of someone who has 32GB card in his phone and it is working fine. I have seen two users on here sucessfully claim to be using 32GB cards in their X10.

" I know personally of someone who has 32GB card in his phone and it is working fine." This is what I am looking for, thank you. The rest was just noise.
Anyone else have any actual personal experience of the 32gb microSD working or not?
Yes, I've not had any major issues with a SanDisk 32gb card, a couple of issues with it not mouting correctly when trying to connect it to my computer and use it as removable storage but I get this occationally with the supplied 8gb card too.
Tested with my friends to start off with, and I've since been out and bought my own, you can buy and use with confidence, using mine mostly to store movies (only so I can showcase the phone - I find myself daily needing to justify why I didnt buy a Desire...).
Currently only about a hundred meg free.
It will become a lot more useful once the phone is rooted.
£100 for a SD card is a lot of money... If I were to do it again I probably wouldnt have bought it when I did, knowing my luck by the time we've rooted it they'll prolly be a third of the price!

I can also confirm that 32 GB SDHC MicroSD cards works well with X10.
...and I can confirm that there are 32 GB MicroSD cards out on the market that does NOT follow SDHC (SD 2.00) specifications, and might therefor be incompatible with the X10.
I was careless and happened to get my hands on one of these non-SDHC 32 GB cards.
SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacit) cards does not work as far as I know of.
it seems that the SD card is cheap in China........i wanna a 16G one
China SD cards
I have read in message boards that china is spoofing the settings on the card to make the phone believe it is a 32gig card, and most of the time people get the card, stick it in the phone see 32 GB and give positive feedback to find out later that after 16gigs it craps out and they lose all their data. I would be VERY wary of a 25$ card from china. If you look at the pictures of the china cards, it used to be that there was a round sticker with 32GB written on the packaging. Probably over 16GB... but now the pictures on Ebay are all of a generic white background micro SD card with 32GB written on it.

There is also a BIG difference in price between a Class 2 and a Class 10 card!
Check which one you are getting when you compare them......
verizon wireless had a special offer on the 32 gb card for the droid x customers, now you can find really good deals on ebay (range $65-100) for authentic 32 gb sandisk cards.
I bought mine for $89.99 (buy it now option) and it works like a charm.

32gb micro SD card

Where is the best place to get it what is the best one and what is the best price any thoughts
go to pricewatch- see what you can find.. don't forget to go to resellerratings to confirm legitimacy though
Avoid the Ebay sellers, the fakes seem to turn into mini coasters in no time. Read here for more info.
There may be other non-fake deals out there, but coupon codes and rebates may be the best avenues to search.
I still don't know why they just don't have sd card slots on phones, I mean you could easily fit them in a phone.

My mistake, Amazon always throws me for a loop with similar deals...but manages to slip full size sdhc cards in there. $149 is the cheapest I have seen for a 32GB MicroSD.
Seems there are not that many out there below $200 from reliable sources. I'd only suggest Ebay if it's someone you've bought from prior and have faith that they're an honest seller.
This looks like a good deal from a reputable company:
http://www.provantage.com/sandisk-sdsdq-032g-a11m~7SNDK2V2.htm
I'm gonna wait for Class 6 myself, could be a while though
mine is in OH if u see my above post ull see pretty fast they shipped it for 149 total no shipping charge and they shipped DHL international express so not bad i should have it tomoro or next day
edit: DHL is out for delivery cant wait to get my 32gb then i can put most of my music on finally

A regular SD card is nearly 5 times bigger. That is alot of room in a phone that doesn't have much in the first place.

Ouch.. I am 95% sure that you just bought a fake. You may want to try to contact San Disk to try to verify authenticity.
Here is a wiki that shows the physical differences between a real card and a fake. If you are able to confirm that the card is fake you may be able to get your $150 back, especially if you paid with a credit card. Although the physical differences are negligible, I have had all three fake Hong Kong sd cards that I bought turn up as duds after 3-6 months of use.
Yeah the fake ones are all over the place due to the hong kong shuffle (where they sell a factory rather than refit it to produce new products). QC goes down but realistically they are the same product. But they do tend to fail and warranties are non-existent, so watch out for that.
But the comment about waiting for a class 6 card... here was my deal. when you read the reviews about the different classes of cards you will find that most of the time the sandisk and really high-end name brand class 2 cards will out perform the cheap class 6 cards. Yeah yeah I know they are given those ratings based on their speeds but in the real world a lot of those class 2 cards will get 8-12mbps speeds in their real world reviews by cnet and others. Just throwing that out there. I myself will stick with class 2 since i couldnt even notice a tiny bit of speed difference in both my hero and evo when switching to class 6 from class 2.

regardless, you should do a check to verify its authenticity. there is a website (in red text and white bg- dunno the name) that you should go see.
DL their software and run it to ensure its not some 8GB hidden with 32GB written on it to cover up.
ummmmm
Ok you can keep spending money on ridiculously overpriced SD cards or you could buy them from Newegg.com I just bought a 32gb Kingston sdhc card Class 6 for 125..... I've bought lots of computer parts from them over the years and they are a great electronic parts site.

Looking for a 32 GB MicroSD card for my Evo....

Preferably from Amazon as I have prime and it'll deliver quickly.
I'm not looking to spend anything more than $70-80, but obviously I'd love something even cheaper. Anyone have any suggestions or anything?
Speed isn't a concern to me as long as it isn't TOO slow. Probably only using this for music.
I'm an FORMER iPhone guy (had a Nexus One, but not for too long - bought it when it first came out exclusively for T-Mobile's 3G network and I had AT&T.... loved the phone, but couldn't stand Edge) who doesn't have much experience with expandable memory. I don't really know what to look for! Thanks.
Just a laugh for you, but being a former dual iphone family I went into a AT&T store (I wanted a 32GB card then...that moment and locally) and asked if they had any in stock. Salesman rung up my purchase and asked my phone number...I replied I used to be with you guys and switched over to Sprint and sold my etch e sketches.
He replied its ok and off I went.
Granted I paid 150+ then, they are available just about anywhere for the price range you are looking in.
I got a SanDisk. I do recommend however you get one with an SD/micro sd card adapter and USB for microsd as it was so simple to move everything from one card to the other in one shot.
You dont have to have these, just really makes it easy to move all from old card to card in one click.
Here is the the one I got and its $94 and 5 stars by all 4 people at amazon.

With the exception of a few occasional and short lived deals on the Sandisk 32GB, you're not going to find anything less than $70-80 for a legit 32GB MicroSDHC card. Even $70-80 is a better price than you may find at this moment. Fakes are a very common problem -- smaller cards that have been altered to appear to be 32GB, but won't let you write anything more than the 2GB or whatever they really have in them. So even if you think you've found a great deal, be sure it's from a solid seller (and watch out for Amazon marketplace as well). There was a brief deal from Verizon earlier this year, and one from Sandisk direct a month or so ago that made it available for $50 and $57 respectively, but those are rare.
This Kingston is the card I have. It's sold out in this packaging from newegg right now, but I bought it for about $87 a couple months ago. Prior to sellout, it was going for $95.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139391
This appears to be the same card in different packaging (full size SD adapter instead of a small USB microSDHC reader), and it's also $95:
http://www.adorama.com/KGSDMC432GB.html
As far as I know, the Sandisk and the Kingston are the only legit 32GB microSD cards on the market right now. I haven't looked in the last month or so, but that was the case when I looked a few months ago. But there are also fakes sold as those brands, so be very cautious on any deal that looks too good to be true. Odds are very high it is.
I'm waiting for a steal of a deal on one of these 32GB cards also... my 16GB one is almost done for
I've been looking and waiting for a deal on one as well. My best advice would be to register on a site like slickdeals.net, setup an email alert for 32gb micro sd, and wait for a deal.
Here is a class 4 from Kingston for $105. This is the one I'm getting.
Or, even better, here's a thread about the 32GB Class 10 by Lexar for nearly the same price. Some of the links provided are even cheaper!
I got one off E-Bay for about $55 and it works fine.
Edit: Also check this out. I don't know if the code is still good or not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852567
Personally, my advise would be to stay away from Ebay. I got 3 counterfeit cards there in the last couple of months. I got refunds for them all, but shipping one of them to China set me back about $25, and in each case I had to open a dispute before they'd provide me a refund. Now I'm trying to decide if I've got the money to splurge on a legit card in the $90 range, or if I'm going to wait and hope they come down in the next couple of months. No more eBay for me!

Its what i bought. Class 2 isnt bad but i had 20gb of music so i went class 4 and it works great all music loads up fast with album art and a couple movies i put on it play fine

32GB SD Horror!

My wife lovingly purchased one of the 32GB Micro SD's from Ebay as a gift for me. It was from an American seller who swore that every card was tested and verified as good. I am on my second card and I suppose Aria's just don't like generic 32GB cards made (ripped off) in China and sold in the states. Almost every file that I copy to the card (through the phone's USB) comes out corrupt....if it copies at all...I will try to listen to an Alkaline Trio song and end up with splices of Avenged Sevenfold in it. I am going to purchase an SD card reader and see if copying files directly to the card (cutting out the phone as the "middle man") will help...but I doubt it will. All I can say is BEWARE!!!
If anyone has any ideas, they will be most appreciated!
Care to link to the specific one you got, or tell us what markings are on the SD card itself?
There are a lot of fake SD cards out there. Even if it has a name brand on it, it could be fake. Usually they are functional but pretty crappy performance-wise. I would probably avoid buying SD cards from anywhere besides reputable retail/online stores.

Return the 32 GB card and purchase a good card from Amazon. I recommend the SanDisk 8 or 16 gb card (class 4 or better).
When you buy from eBay, you're taking a chance. Especially if the product comes from China.
Look on the bright side - your phone is fine - SD cards can be easily replaced...
.
Been there done that. Buy only from a reliable source. I bought the same thing and same place. Good music I see. My old band "already dead" played with avenged back in the day here in socal. Good luck with sd card.

I had the same thing happen to me. I bought my card from Buy.com but it was fulfilled by third party. I ran h2testw to verify it was a hacked 2GB card to look like a 32GB card. I contacted buy.com and the direct seller and he paypal refunded me the purchase no questions asked.
h2testw basically writes verifies in 1GB blocks. the hacked card looks like it writes fine, but when you try to access the files you get corrupted data which sounds like what you had.

well, i wouldn't go straight out and generalize all chinese made products as crappy and cheap. I mean like, 75+% of everything in your house is probably chinese made.

I was not referring to the country of manufacture.
The product itself was shipped from China and was described as a "rip-off" type of product.
I always suggest buying products from a reputable dealer and manufacturer. You may pay more, but you will most likely have better customer service and a better product.
...
Could you quote the seller's name? Hope you got it fixed by now
I'm sorry to hear of your bad experience. That is usually why I stay away from eBay and China as a lot of their products tend to be poorly constructed and have issues with operation (many are counterfeit).
When buying memory cards and batteries, I tend to side on "Name brand" and purchase from trustworthy sites to ensure my product is not a counterfeit.
Hope you got your problem sorted!

I purchased a 16gb class 10 joyflash or something like that from ebay, it would barely transfer over 3.2mb/s and then it died that same day, my advice don't buy cheap cards.
yea i bought a cheap 32 of ebay from hong kong. fine at first then after 2 gb phone says card blank or unrecognisd format. ill get a 16gig sandisk for 15 quid of amazon at least it will work
all that glitters is not gold, give them a wide birth my friend.
Sounds to cheap 32 gb cards start from £50 there is no way he is making money on them if they are original but I assume fakes cause he gets them cheaper than £18.47
I had a cheap (fake) 8GB Memory Stick Duo for my PSP from eBay, it stored a whomping 10MB!

Sounds to cheap 32 gb cards start from £50 there is no way he is making money on them if they are original but I assume fakes cause he gets them cheaper than £18.47

Even cards being offered at £50 require an inordinate amount of inquiry.
As an example ~ last week I sent an email to an online retailer named Memorycardzoo.
The retailer is advertising a Sandisk 32GB MicroSD card as being Class 4 for £55.99 (see here).
My inquiry was to confirm this was indeed a Class 4 and not the slower Class 2.
The retailer replied immediately confirming the cards were correct in that they were Class 4.
I then sent a further message informing them that a lot of online retailers were advertising something that clearly was not as stated.
Again they came back very politely and professionally reiterating not to worry the cards were accurately advertised as Class 4.
As such I placed my order for said card.
Today I got back home to find a small package that had the card within.
On opening the package the card is indeed a Sandisk 32GB card BUT it is NOT a Class 4 but the slower Class 2.
I have just sent them an email asking them to explain their actions.
In the meantime I would advise anyone not to deal with Memorycardzoo until I have an answer.
I shall reply here when such reply is received.
Beards.
I just bought this for £13.99 worth a try class 4 and you can even check on kingston china to see if they are genuine hurry though they are selling like hot cakes.

So you can confirm that you bought and received this card from these people, and that what you received wasn't up to expectations? What was the problem? Was the capacity smaller than advertised? Was it too slow? Was it just a fake, through and through?
I just ordered one before you replied. I wonder if I can cancel an order now!
Not sure if it was these people but same card. worked fine at first 31gb available, stopped working after about 2 gig now nothing will even recognize the card-cant even format it. Make sure you make regular back ups of anything on card, i lost some stuff. Mabey mine was fake i wish you luck-ill never buy cheap hongkong again.
WOW great find, bought one too, half the price of the fake on I bought for 26£ and am getting my money back
they look genuine to me, so i got 1 too, if they come and there not ill request refund lol.
They sold 199 of them with no neg feedback so to me its a good buy
Hehe that's why I grabed two
