[Q] htc hd7 storage

will the new htc hd7 have external memory? (hence micro sd card capable)

No
No WP7 phones will have removable storage, but some of them do support Micro SD cards, these shouldn't be removed or changed though once installed.

My mistake it does have one:

Actually the answer is HD7 has kind of swappable storage It is possible to change the current memory card. The bad news is this operation involves removing of the backpanel, voiding the warranty and hard resetting to format the new card in appropriate way.

I upgraded my HD7 from 16g to 32g. Its very easy to do and worth it to double the storage on the device.

It all depends on if you need it, and have use for it. At first when I got the HD7 I was disappointed of the storage but it turns out I don't need all that storage. I stream all my music from my home server, and all the pictures get uploaded to skydrive. But that's just me

just one question about the galaxy nexus...

okay i hope i don't get flamed for this, but im seeing multiple answers from different sources
so the question is
does the galaxy nexus have a micro SD card slot?
edit: just checked their site
http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/...dex.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification
if you look at the tech specs it says it has SD card support

Nope no SD card on it

Pretty sure those specs are specifically for the international version. The VZW version doesn't have expandable memory.

Just like the Nexus S, it has no removable SD card slot. WHile this may seem like a negative since everyone it used to sd slots, its really not that big of a deal at least for me, coming from experience

I LOVE having an SD slot. I am able to transfer files (pics, ROMS, etc) from my computer to phone and visa versa. Personally I would never buy a phone without one.

You can do that on phones without SD slots...it is called USB mass storage, which coincidentally is disabled by ice cream sandwich.

In my experience, especially dealing with verizon, I'd better have an SD slot, because the phone WILL fail and require a replacement and the last thing I need is a bricked phone that I can't recover my files from.
So, I was holding our for the Nexus but now I need to figure out my next device real soon...

No it does not a micro SD Card Slot...... if that makes you uncomfortable ... then do not get one. But, for most this is totally a non issue
I used the phone it is beyond excellent....... its feel is way better than an iphart 4gs
It really is a major step up...........

Its sad... I guess because of the NFC

Why are you blaming Verizon, or hardware issues for something that could happen that would be entirely your fault? (not backing up your own info)

So, the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have an SD slot. Is it Google?
What I mean is, my understanding of the Nexus S was that it was essentially Google's specs and design and Samsung made it, but they wanted to have their own phone with all their crapware on the market, so the basically made the exact same hardware in a different case and filled it full of Touchwiz. But the Galaxy S had an SD slot!
So is the no SD slot something Google have decided for security/aesthetic reasons, or is just a technical thing and they decided the phone could live without?

I never fire up my laptop anymore so backing up my files would be a problem.
If I wanted to be hooked to a laptop to backup I'd get an iPhone.

I hardly ever remove sd card from the phone and to be honest unless you store loads of music/videos 16GB of build in memory is way more than I need...

I got GN on VZW, unfortunately no SD card, which would typically annoy me, but with Google Music/Spotify, Calandar, Gmail, Contacts, G+/Picasa Web, and Dropbox (which can be used to transfer files too) there really is no need to worry about having to back up/transfer or need more storage anymore.

No slot=no sale.... Why would they make that decision. Unless the phone had 32gb internal.

No expandable memory? WTF, thought only Apple did that.

nope, no memory slot. That's why Galaxy 2 is a better phone. Just my .02

cloud services and managing your drive space should help keep it from filling too fast, it is terrible that they didn't include the sdcard slot option

Nope it doesnt. It has a virtual SD card. To store Apps + Data. But thts bout it

Sd card problem!

Blank SD card.(unsupported file system)
i try re-format it. but after awhile the problem just keep coming back.
i think the problem is the phone ( XPERIA ION OF CAUSE ) is putting something inside that cause it to have problem.
Note: i format it...(start from clean)
put some video inside. ( cause it happen before so i don't want to put a lot of things )
works fine for about a day?
i try to open the video by the photo widget, fail. video cannot be played
i reboot phone
Blank SD card.

Are you formatting the card with the phone or in your computer? Have you tried you phone with a different card? Maybe you have a damaged phone, same goes for the card. I got a 64 GB card for my phone, and had to format it with the phone before being able to use it, after that I haven't had any trouble. The only thing is that every time that I connect my phone through USB to my PC (Win7), it tells me the card is damaged and gives me the option of scanning and fixing it or ignore it. I choose ignore, but it a bit annoying to do it every time.

sounds like you have a faulty micro SD card, I had the same problem when I tried to put one into my blackberry. It worked fine on my computer but when I put it into my phone I kept getting errors, eventually it just stopped working all together.

I have a 64gb card and no problem at all. Pop it right in format using phone and just never have any problem with phone or laptop

Your phone came with a memory card?! Mine didn't.
Back on topic, I have had similar issues. I found that is I keep the phone in mass storage mode, and dont allow the internal memory to connect to the computer my issue goes away. I have ICS installed. So long as my internal memory does not connect, my issue has not come back. Give that a shot and see if it works for you as well.

Ah, I didn't get a screen protector. I guess that's the trade off.

me too , i have this probs

I had this issue once with my OG Dinc. The card just stopped working in the phone but still works fine in the computer to this day. I would bet on your card being faulty.
As for the Ion sd card I feel cheated as mine came with a 4gb card. ?? Got it at Boo Buy also. Lucky for me I had just picked up a 8gb card for another Dinc I acquired.

I too, have the same problem. I have to reformated my card a few times since I got the phone (just about a month). My card is fine, but after using a while, it became unuseable even in my computer. Reformat it, everything's fine but a week later, it came back! I'm on 2.3.7.

Could just be the card. I've had bad ones from the start, had good ones go bad, etc..
I have a generic card that would not work at all unless it was put in to an adapter, and then only sometimes. I've since put it into my Zoom H2 recorder where it seems it's the only place it wants to work full time.
I personally won't buy any off brand SD cards anymore, Sandisk only for me, have yet to have one of these crap out yet.

Make sure you are unmounting the phone in windows before you unplug it. That is what corrupted my card on my incredible.

I see. I'm living in Vietnam, those brand-name cards are so expensive. This card I've used for more than a year with my old Arc, class 10, without any problem. Since it goes with my new Ion, there comes problems! I'm saving money to buy a new card based on your advice! Thank you so much!

Yes, I did it all the time and sometimes I turned off the phone to take the card out for safety. Thank you!

Mine didn't come with sht! wth???
Probably is the card though, I've had similar issues in the past, none with Ion though. Sdcards can be rather fickle and hidden files can get stuck on there much like on a flash drive. I have a box full of flash drives that are irreparable.
Try replacing the card first. Also I usually let Windows repair mine when it asks. Seems to help. eb

[Q] my 64gb card = 2tb?

So I have a 64gb sandisc u1 card, in partition magic it shows the usable space as a partition in between a small set of unpartitioned space and a large set.
All space = 2tb
Thoughts?
Explinations?
Exploits?
Sent from my SGH-T889

sounds like you might have picked up a fake card chinese formatted.. i'd backup anything you have on it, delete all partitions and redo it. see what it comes up with then..

No, its from best buy. I dont buy transflash off ebay. Its 59gb in compasity currently. I didnt do any mods. Im asking about possable mods, or as I have infered, that theirs nothing. It shows 59gb in windows. Only partition magic shows 2tb full withh all the rest of the area being unpartitioned and unformated space

What are you using to see this 2TB? A PC? Format the card in your phone. As to hacks/mods that would cause these mods.

His post above yours says what he's using. Partition magic. Either way, I'm guessing the issue is the software if Windows shows the true value. If you want a safe piece of mind, back up the data, and exchange it best buy. If the new one reads the same issue, then it's the software. Cause no way 2TB would fit a microsd.
Sent from my SGH-T889

I dont belive its the software because other trans flash didnt have this issue.
Yes pc
I dont need help formatic the card its working just fine at stock settings currently.
Sent from my SGH-T889

Have you tried using the software to read other 64GB cards? Either way, if everything is working fine, and you download other software and everything but Partition magic reads it at 64GB, then just keep it.

Thats not realy what I was asking tho

It's not a 2TB card. As people have answered you, either the hardware is borked, or the software is confused with that card (make, model, when it was made, etc). Just because other cards have worked fine doesn't mean the software isn't confused. Just because you bought it from BestBuy doesn't mean the card is good.
People asked about eBay because many of us have been burned buying a card that is formatted wrong so it looks like it has a higher capacity than it really has. Either the software you are using (that exact edition, set up, installation) is giving you possible options to make computers think it is higher capacity (which will not do you any good), or that card could be flawed which is confusing the software into being unsure of it's total capacity.
The only exploit you could do is try using the 2TB formatting and showing people your super cool 2TB card (which would destroy files that were placed in non existent sectors). I don't recommend doing that, as it wastes the card.
I haven't really said anything that anyone else hasn't been talking about, but these seem to answer anything you may have been asking (since technically you never formed a full question). So I think your question was answered, you may have just not asked what you meant to.

Correct, but I do not belive the card is flawed. I agree with the rest though. And if my question dosent seem fully developed I appologise

my DHD is a killing SDCards machine... what to do?

ok guys im sick of this.
My Desire HD is killing all of my SDCards till now.
every once in a time (like 2 months, 3 months)
my DHD just kills the sdcard that is inserted..
I try to plug the SD to other devices but it shows it doesnt work and it is demaged..
So everytime i go and buy a new SDCard and everything is working fine for 2 3 months.
2 days ago my DHD killed another SDCard and im preety much sick of this.. i forget to backup like a moron and it freaks me out.
I will go and buy a new SDCard, but I just wanted to know how to fix it. how to prevent my DHD kill another SD Card..
Formatting really doesn't matter, its something with the system..
I have wondered if there any thing i can do? for example buy a new SDCARD reader suitable for my dhd and replace it with the one i have now or something?
is there anything like that or something?
My DHD killed like 4 SDCards till now..
Thanks.

Well what brand SD cards are you using?
Also do you have any apps that constantly write to SD? Reason being is that flash memory has a limited amount of reads and writes. If you have some random app that is using your SD as its sandbox then that would explain it.
As for the brand, better brands tend to make cards that last longer.
Finally by formatting, I assume your referring to formatting the card after it dies, to see if it will still work. If not try that.
