any microsd cards not recommended for artemis?

Knowing my luck I would order a microsd card that just happens to be the only one that wont work on the artemis. Anyone know if the sandisk, or transflash are incompatible. Or know of any others that are incompatible?

I've got a 2gb Sandisk card coming for mine tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

Toshiba 1 gig seems ok in mine

I have used a 2gb sandisk for about 3 weeks with no problems. A 1gb toshiba card worked as well.
I recommend the 2GB card for maps...

How do ya guys transfer huge files to your device?
Take out the card and use an external card reader?.. us patiently do it through activeSync?

1 GB Kingston micro SD woks good

What a stupid idea to put the card under the SIM and battery. It drives me crazy. And yes, I do all transfers trough the card reader. I do not have neither patience nor desire to watch the activesync processing bar for the hours:-(

I used the sandisc 1GB for very short while with no problem.
Now I have Sandisc 2GB UltraII and everything goes great !(knock the wood)
It's pity that we still do not have 4GB microSD.....well maybe 2007 brings us some news in this direction, but at that moment it will be probably the time to sell Artemis and get a new toy

Replacing the stock SD Card

So I am interested in replacing the stock 8GB SD card with a 32 GB model. I have a couple of questions regarding this.
1. Are there specific brand's (specs) I need to look out for when getting a 32GB card? i.e. Compatability issues?
2. I don't want to lose anything from my current setup so how should I format my new card and copy over all my data from the existing one?
Thanks!!

already bumped off the first page and no replies.
No one has any idea about this?

I think Q&A must be blackhole

I don't see why you couldn't just unmount, remove, copy the entire contents of the card, install the new one and your off running-
I'm pretty sure you need to format the SD card FAT-32, not sure what block size. I'm guessing your probably going to want a class 6 or greater, and you may want to look into partitioning it (Swap partition? linux type? for better performance?)(I'm kinda looking into that right now myself).
I could be wrong on all counts though. Let me know how you make out- good luck. wow some of the 32G cards are more than I paid for my phone!

(1) If you pay less than about $200 at this point there's a good bet it's a counterfeit card. Otherwise stick with recognizable brands - Kingston, Sandisk, Transcend...
(2) Format the new card in the phone before you copy any files to it then do as the other poster suggested (just copy your files across).

They cost a grip!

Just get a 16GB card for $40-45 for now, not worth spending 4-5x as much for 2x the capacity. Class 4 should be fine as well AFAIK ('specially if you're going for 16GB, C6/16GB can be tougher to find for a good price), C6 8GB cards are super cheap (<$20). The 8GB card that comes w/the phone is C2, FWIW.

I agree...I'd wait for the 32 to come down in price.
8G is plenty for me for now...

Where did u get the info that the card that came with it is class 2? Been trying to find that out but could not get the answer.

I just received my 16G (C6) card today from Transcend...and have to agree...gonna cost you a group to go 32G unless black market piece. Pay the extra dollars for branded hardware...this one cost around $68 and has some great specs.
This does bring up a question for me though...
I partitioned the card at 50/50 but got to thinking...why do I need 8G's for moving apps to the sdcard? Any thoughts from the group as to a good partition ratio?

Pull it out and look, it'll have a class 2 stamp on it.

So to throw another question out there, are there any critical folders I should back up? I'm getting a 16gb card ordered from frys.
I know for sure I'll want to back up pics and music, but I have a lot of nandroid backups and the such. I'm not using apps2sd so that's no real problem either.
I haven't had an Android phone before (coverted from an iphone 2g ) so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Are people selling fake sd cards?

Im not sure if u guys kno of this or not, but i got an email from ebay stating that people are selling fake sd cards, is that even possible?

people have always sold fake sd cards and usb drives
Thanks though! its always good to be aware!
..They are fake in the sense that they are not rated for what is advertised, i.e. less space is actually available, lower class ratings than advertised

i'm going to ask a stupid question how do you know the sd card is fake?

well, if its a 8GB card, formatted as fat32 it should be somewhere around 7.5 GB i think. If you got a fake one it would be substantially less.
As for the speed. Class 2=2MB/s class 6=6MB/s for the write speed. So take a 100MB file or so and transfer it to the sd card. you should get around your class speed. It may vary, even if you use an app to test the speed, but something suspicious would be always getting 2MB write speeds with a class 6 card

i bought a 32 gb card on ebay, wanna try to transfer all of my files from my current 8 gb card it won't go through .giving me some write disk error or something like that. It shows up as 32gb on my phone... but the files just wont transfer.. i mean some of them go tru, but others im gettin that error i stated earlier. did i do something wrong when i got the card? because i just put it in the phone and started to transfer ....
Thx 4 helpin

dont quote me on this, but I thought the only manufacture with a 32GB was san disk? that was a month ago so it probably has changed.
Heres my dumb question, did you format the card?

Yea i did. If by formatting ur reffeeing to placing the card in the phone, go to settings, then format. That is how u format, right?

yes.
do you still have a link to that auction or a similar item? what brand is it?

On the card it says microsd, hc, 32gb, then has a part number. Link to the auction is a bit difficult at the moment cuz im posting from my phone...

I just took a pic of it and attached it

I am going to go out on a limb here, but if it does not have a SanDisk anywhere, I am pretty sure they are the only manufactures of a 32GB micro sd card. I am also pretty sure they would put there name on it. That being said, I would say that you could possibly have a bum sdcard, but again I am only speculating.
Even if it is there are a few other things to try:
Try plugging the phone into a computer, choose hard drive mode and use a computer to format the card. (fat32)
Try to do a drive repair, or drive scan from the OS
You can also try some disk utilities that can be found just about all over the internet.
also, the files that wont go through (i did not read carefully at first ), ensure they are not larger than 4GB

http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile-memory-products/sandisk-microsdhc
that is the sandisk 32GB sd card. Again, I am going on the assumption that they are the only ones that make this size card, so I could be proved wrong at any time!!!
I just looked at that pic, is that a 4 in the circle? I am almost sure they do not make a class 4 32GB sd card yet.

Everything you are sugessting i already did.. except get a drive software to scan the card. And no, the files were def not larger than 4gb per file, it was 5gb of data.. but not all in one file.
Thx for ur help, but from what we have discussed it would appeAr I have a bad card. Ill try to get u the linkto the auction if u want.
Thx 4 ur help.

thats a fake card.
It's only 2gb

In looking for that ebay link.. i found tnat the user that sold me that card is no longer registered.. that shouldanswer if its fake or not.
Do me a fav tho... do anebay searc for 32gb microsd card, and ull see a list of cards that are being sold, like mine, and people are buying them w/o complaints. Is it possible this other company also makes valid sd cards?

I actually didnt see that many listings for '32 GB micro sd card' maybe its the search term, only saw like 1 or two.
In all honesty though, I would save your self the trouble and get a legit 16GB card. You can get class 6 for like 60 bucks and class 2 or 4 for around 20 or 30... I think someone has mentioned that in this thread or another, I lose track easily Try newegg.com or something

and PS you should start your claim process through ebay or paypal now!!!

Yea. I guess ill have to do that and get a "legit" card...thx 4 ur help

remember i asked you to search ebay 4 a micro sd 32 gb...
I did the search and the same huge list of cards came up..
Take a look at
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-32GB-TF-Memory-Card-32G-Micro-SD-SDHC-MicroSDHC-TF_W0QQitemZ230496573491QQcategoryZ20336QQvarZQQcmdZViewItem
Thats one of the listings selling the card i have.. and again, people are butin without any complaints at all . the manufacturer of the card seems to HC.
See what im talkin bout?

yes, I see from the link. But that is a reasonable price 200.00
But, the HC stands for high capacity, not the manufacture
Especially because this is 190.00, you can get a SanDisk for 200.00 and that will work guaranteed. That's just my opinion of the matter.
Unless you absolutely need 32GB all in one package, I would highly suggest taking a look at something like these:

here is where you can get a genuine 32GB Class 2 SanDisk:

SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC ($47.99)

I have ordered the 64 GB from Amazon twice and they both failed at 12GB, so I returned them. I saw this sale at BUY.COM and it says they are an authorized reseller, so I ordered one. It is only $47.99, shipped.

http://www.buy.com/prod/sandisk-32g...-sd-sdhc-card-with-card-reader/217036937.html

Did you buy an item that was sold by Amazon of from another vendor on Amazon? Did you suspect that the cards you bought were fakes or did you just get bad ones. I would be wary of buying this card again if I had two failures unless I could attribute the failures to being a fake Sandisk and I was sure that the 3rd was the real deal.

Nothing about the first two gave me the feeling they were fake. The first one I purchased from the Amazon Market, the second direct from Amazon. While copying files on my PC, they both started out at the same speed as my old class 4 16GB card. by the time they made it to 12GB, they had slowed to a crawl and then completely failed. At that point, they both died and couldn't even be formatted.
I will give it one last try with BUY.COM, if I have the same issue again, I am sending it back and buying a 32GB card.

Hi there,
if you like to know I am right now in the same situation. I buy a Sandisk microSDXC 64GB and the first time I put that card in my OLD card reader the PC recognize the card immediately, so to test the card I start copy a file .iso of 6.5GB into the card and then completely failed less than 6.5GB. Now I can't format the card, no way. I try with SD Formatter 3.1, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.1.8, Gparted Live, CMD from Windows 7, no way to format the card. I can only delete the wrong partitions. All the app see the full capacity card but I can't format the f....ng card. I made few research and somebody said I have to have Card Reader fit in with SDXC. All the devices which you use have to be compatible with SDXC, if not you have problems. That is not what I say, that is what the other people saying. I just don't understand why my PC recognize the card with my old card reader and then failed to copy the file and now I can't format the card, something wrong with this stuff.
Anyway, to be fully sure I buyed the Mobilelite G3 Kingston Card reader so I let you know when I get it if something change!
I hate this stuff, but I need this stuff!

Today I received the reader SDXC, no luck, all the same, I have to send back the card, so probably was not the reader the problem, this cards are **** and I don't know why?
If anyone know something about this cards, please let me know, thanks.

which device do you use? Do you formatted the card in different system file (NTFS, FAT32)? The old device see the card?

I purchased the 64gb card. used the adapter that came with it and it was recognized by my PC immediately (used the PC to format in exFat).
I also had another USB style adapter that I used to plug my old 32gb class 6 card into. I had that connected to my PC as well.
Then i just transferred all the files from the 32 over onto the 64 using my PC, and popped the 64gb card into my phone after the files were all transferred.
I can plug my Galaxy 3 into my PC using USB and it'll recognize by my card memory and phone memory separately.

that is weird. I have had problems with my old card being too slow and I too wanted to get one of those. I would have expected it to be fast enough. I think a UHS 3 class card has to have at least 40MB/s write speed, which I'm sure this one has...

Did you buy directly from Amazon, or a seller on Amazon? That makes a difference, my understanding is that it is very easy to purchase a fake SD card from a seller through Amazon.

I don't know what that means honestly, but I look for this: Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Not sure what that would look like ordering from Amazon from overseas.
Anyways, can you not return it? Order something else or purchase local?

i just order SanDisk Ultra 128GB microSDXC

I just looked at the card you linked, not many cards faster than that. However, I don't know how a UHS-II card would read in the HTC 10, as it does not support that as I understand. Maybe purchase a UHS-I card like the Samsung Pro Plus?

I had the same issue with both Lexar and SanDisk Ultra 128GB cards. When I switched to 64GB card, all worked well. With the bigger capacity cards, I think HTC formatting takes too long and it times-out with the message you mentioned. Try a smaller capacity card and see if it works. I do understand that theoretically sd cards with higher storage capacity should be supported but may be not for adaptable storage. Just my two cents worth.
