32GB sd card!! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hey people...posted this new thread because i want to know if any of you are in use with a 32gb micro sd card and wanna know how is the feel likes with the android builds...
i currently use kingston 8gb microsd card class 4...
thinking to upgrade to 32gb....
please give your opinions and suggstions!!
thanks...
EDIT:i just ordered a kingston 32gb micro sd class 2....
hope android build should run fine as my 8gb

You should be fine. I've been using a SanDisk 32GB MircoSDHC card for months now, without any problems at all.
Best to all,
R

If you buy a 32Gb card ensure that it is a good one and do not buy one from Ebay if it comes from China and only cost ~$15.00. That is total junk!!!

hahaha..yeah i saw cards like one you discribed...i already bought one it comes from hong kong and cost with shiping overall 60dollars!
its a kingston 32gb micro sdcard class 2..!!
i heard that sandisk cards is 3 times faster than kingstons... is that true?

When it comes, peel off the 32Gb sticker and you will find its a 2 or 4 Gb card. you can copy 32Gb onto it but it will be corrupted when you remove it from the pc...
Get your money back...

hey i dont think it could be that bad...if the item will be not the same as described on ebay i have the choice to return it back and get refund..!if the card will be 2gb or 4gb...!i have bought many things via ebay..also the 8 gb kingston class 4 i have all was fine and 100% as described...! anyway i hope this one will work fine

You can only wait until you get the card. I do hope that it works OK. However, just because mine did not turn out to be a good one, yours may. Good Luck. If it isn't, just get a refund from PayPal if you used them.

ok guys..thank you all very much..i ll post a reply when the card will arrive in my hands and let you inform if its fake or not
so see ya soon

Happened to me about three times before I got the message. Run a test when you receive it...

thanks..i'll do it for sure...the good thing is that the seller's name is very different from the one that i bought the 32gb sdcard

hi,
just don't forget to provide us some "where to buy" links please...

Here is hoping you got a good card. I did some researching and I can't find any 32GB class 2 cards by kingston. Seems they are all class 4. Wishing you luck.

Komputerbay MicroSDHC 32 gig class 6
is what I have in mine. It's pretty nice. No Komplaints so far.

damn...i made a research also..and is the same..i didnt find any class 2..as you mentioned they are all class 4 and some class 6!i will cntact to the seller and find a solution..otherwise i will open a case to inform on ebay that the seller sell fake one sdcards..

Just as a bit of further info on the ones which I bought off ebay - they did tend to be reasonably good at refunding the £$ - I think they seem to go off the idea that it's a better business model to avoid negative feedback. A lot of buyers don't check these cards (and USB drives) properly and think it's all good and follow up with good feedback. Sometimes you might have to negotiate a decent refund though but stick to your guns and follow through with your dispute (item not as described/counterfeit) if required.
In any event, good luck.

Got a 32GB Micro SD card from Ebay from Hong Kong as well, a month or so ago. The card took almost a month to arrive. When i got it I tested the R/W speeds. They were awful. But, even so, i tried a consistency test. Of the 32GB of data copied, only 512 weren't corrupted. Basically, what the guy does is picks up faulty 512 MB MicroSD (faulty since they don't comply with Class 2 minimum requirements) and changes the Card information sector to inform the pc/device that it is 32GB when it really is 512. I confronted the buyer with this (had tons of positive reviews btw) and he said that he would refund me, and was sorry but it was an accident. I insisted he send me another card instead. A week later, i receive an email from ebay saying that this user had it's account compromised and that he seemed to be a known scammer. All great as you can see. Honestly, I will only buy again from Amazon or so...
Hopefully, the same won't happen to you. I felt so foolish... Particularly since I'm getting a PhD in Computer Science -_-'...

I don't believe there are any legitimate class 6 32gb cards available yet... I did a lot of research before buying mine and the best available so far from legitimate companys was class 4, so that what I went with. I got a class 4 32gb Kingston. And you're right, it doesn't look like Kingston released any class 2 versions, so make sure you thoroughly test your card. Its possible Kingston released class 2 cards for OEM purposes and never sold them retail, so they may be legitimate... but considering you bought it off eBay, I would have doubts its legitimate. Its best to buy flash memory from well known stores like newegg.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Also guys, before giving good feedback load the sd card with about 20Gb of data, remove the sd card then re-insert and see if the files are corrupt... I've found a few "32Gb sd cards" that will hold 32Gb of data and registers the files are still on the card BUT the info gets badly corrupted and disapears when you take out of the card reader.
Won't say ALL sellers are crooks on Ebay, but 99% definately are. Only advice would be to see if they have been a member for a long time, they don't seem to survive too long if they are crooks...

32gb micro sd for raphael

did anyone tried an 32gb microsd on a htc touch pro (raphael)? i wonder if it will work. htc says that 16gb will work.. but 32gb is more interesting for me...
who can help me out
You'll need a time machine; there are no 32 GB micro SDHC cards available at this time. The highest you can find right now is 8 GB -- 16 GB is supposed to be coming in the next month or two.

Its a shame that some people really do live in a fantasy world???
Scandisk have not even released to Japan yet, never mind Europe! & most definately NOT last week???? The official 1st release is next week with all legitimate suppliers taking pre-orders and being very clear that this is the case!
Here's a response from the Ebay Seller quoted by our friend elroy944 after I though I would see what happened if I place the order with next day delivery offered:
EbaySeller said:
Hi there, we have just received delivery of the memory cards and sandisk have only sent us half the quantity we ordered. We can not supply you with this memory card until middle of next week. Please advise if you wish for a full refund or for us to post out when we receive next week. Apologies for any problems this may have caused but as you can imagine this has caused us a lot of pain as we have sold several of these that we can not deliver. Many thanks for your understanding and please advise for a refund or to wait, thanks

i don't have a sandisk there is only micro sd written on mine one, the link i provided was the one i searched that day. i can't find the one i bought anymore
Mymemory have them but I wouldn't pay 47 pounds for a card that will be half that price in a couple of months
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC?&filter=16384#memFilter
there is no 32gb of microsd on the market.
16gb is just starting these days.
Just some people like to spread fake info. May be they feel "cool" then

If you check you will see thay are actually "out of stock" and taking pre-orders only! They dont get stock until the 24th September at the earliest? so I dont think you'll be paying £47 for anything until next week at the earliest?
MODS: Now we've established that you cant get the 16gb card until next week - and that there is NO item as yet with 32gb capacity can we close this thread? There is after all already a legitimate thread covering the 16gb card?
.
If you buy a shady 16GB card, I suggest you try to fill it all up with data to see if it REALLY is 16GB and doesn't just report 16GB when it really isn't.

I'm looking for a Sandisk 8GB MicroSDHC Class4. Any Idea where?

At the moment I'm using a Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC Class 4 and let me tell you; IT SUCKS.
The speed it horrible comparing to my Sandisk 2GB Class 2.
Therefore I would like to get a Sandisk instead. They are pretty cheap these days online. Amazon is selling a Sandisk 8GB class4 for only $16 + shipping. However I'm from Canada, shipping is a monster. On Ebay, most of them are fake and not even Class 4. So do you guys have any suggestion for me on where to buy a "Real" Sandisk 8GB class 4? (well, no need to be Real, as long as it's fast)
I'm not sure about the sandisk class 4 I would try perhaps Amazon.com on that. But as for Micro SDHC cards go this is by far the best card for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 Just in case you are wondering it is a class 6 and I have this card personally and can verify that it operates at the class 6 specs.

Amazon.com and newegg.com doesn't ship microsd card to Canada.
As stupid as it sounds, newegg.ca doesn't have any 8GB microSD other than from A-Data... and I had really bad experience with that company.
That's strange that they won't ship them to Canada, but anyways I have used A-DATA for many years now and I have never had a bad experience possibly you just happend to get a bad product which unfortunately happens sometimes. I suggest A-DATA to lots of people and trust them myself so it might not hurt to try them again. Just my thoughts (man I feel like an A-DATA spokesperson LOL)
Edit: Just checked newegg.ca and found http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 which is the exact card I recommended.

Have you ever use Transcend card?
it's the first time I heard of it... are they good?
Yes I as previously stated I have that exact card and have been very happy with it. I also have 4GB of their ram in the very computer I am typing this with. For more info on them check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcend and make note of the quote "On September 2008, IDC India reported that Transcend ranked number 1 in sales of flash memory products, including USB flash drives and flash cards, in 2007, beating Kingston and SanDisk[2]."

I get about 6MBs write and between 9-10MBs read I just wrote a 1GB dummy file to it and about 3.5-4 mins. But that was with a card reader that support class 6 cards so results may vary on that expect them to be lower in the phone through usb.

My Kingston 8Gb Class 4 take about 4min to transfer 1GB as well. I find it slow. When I did a benchmark using PocketMechanics, the write speed is only 2MBs. That's why i'm returning it. Now that you're telling me it take you 3.5-4mins, I think my card is not that bad, then.
When you said 6MBs write, how did you test it?

The program I tested it with is listed there and I just took the averages sometimes it is higher very rarely is it any lower.
find a friend who works at futureshop or bestbuy and get them to buy you one. their employee's discount is sick.
Or, if you're in vancouver, check http://www.ncix.com. they sometimes have good deals. best of all, staples are sometimes willing to pricematch/beat them

Ford & Chevrolet beat out Lamborghini & Ferrari in sales....but guess what's better?
Rank in sales means nothing if you're looking for quality. 90% or more of the time the top name in sales is NOT the best quality, just the best value. Sandisk is definitely better quality.

I have read the description, and it says "Trans Flash" with "TF" sigle, What is it?
Is it the standard SDHC? Will it work well on my fuze? (I know that it is not a fast speed, maybe class 1, but I want to know about this transflash)
What is this transflash? is every SDHC transflash? if not, wich diference betwin them?
I am looking for buying a good speed also, Does anybody know this one below?

I wanna know if both these will work on fuze, because I am afraid of buying and loosing the item, please help me!
Kingston 16 GB class 2 works on my touch Pro like a charm ...

Appearently TF is the original MicroSD name.
Not sure you'd need a Class 6..., but it looks like it should work to me.
Be very carefull with cheap MicroSD etc Stuff from Ebay...
Especially from China!
This Ebayer is accused to manipulate the cards memory.
Because I fell for that "sosflash" memory hack stuff myself, I warn you.
Youll get a 2 or maybe 4 (if lucky) Gb MicroSD hacked to show 16Gb.
I brought a SanDisk card from Amazon a few months ago for £40

Don't buy memory cards from ebay...unless its a greally good seller. And you can tell a card is fake with the crappy writing on it. Cant find one for microSD but heres one for MSProDuo: http://www.gogetbuy.com/images/article/Fake_2gb_sony.jpg. You could clearly see by how the letters are printed.
I have bougth one of this on ebay, I hope it works as 16gb SD card, I will test it before feding back the user, when I was reading his feedbacks, I noted every of them and I saw that it was in the most positive, but if it dont work as 16gb I will f**** his feedbacks, explaining his frauds.
Hope everything works good, I dont want problems
hehe
Thank you all.
http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/
Just read there.. I fell for it too <.<
Bought a "cheap" 16 Gb MicroSD from Ebay. Afterwards I tried to get some movies and music on it. It simply gives you an error if it gets over 2Gb content!
No wonder, 16 Gb MicroSD arent cheap or common in china! Its the other way around!
So I spend around 20US on a fake 16Gb card.
That sucked. This fraud is often used for cheap MP3 player too.
I have PQI 16GB class 2 its working wery good
I think I just fell for the exact same thing. It hasn't even gotten here yet.
Is there anything I can do? I'd like to get my money back for pride's sake, but I also want to do whatever I can to get back at the seller.

Recommendations on 32gb micro sd card

I've read mixed reviews on the 32gb cards. I've heard people say that anything over 16gb isn't recognized by the hero. Don't quote me, just repeated what I heard and I don't remember if it was on XDA or someplace else where I read it, but I'd do a little research before buying one on whether or not it will work.
Having said that, the best microSD cards are probably Sandisk and Transcend. Your mileage may vary. I recommend NOT purchasing from overseas vendors...a lot of times you'll end up with a piece of junk. Amazon usually has pretty good deals, as does best buy, so I'd check there.

There's a little C printed on the card with a number inside it, that number is what class you've got.

I've read mixed reviews on the 32gb cards. I've heard people say that anything over 16gb isn't recognized by the hero. Don't quote me, just repeated what I heard and I don't remember if it was on XDA or someplace else where I read it, but I'd do a little research before buying one on whether or not it will work.
Having said that, the best microSD cards are probably Sandisk and Transcend. Your mileage may vary. I recommend NOT purchasing from overseas vendors...a lot of times you'll end up with a piece of junk. Amazon usually has pretty good deals, as does best buy, so I'd check there.

noooooooooooooooooooooo I only have a class 4, arghhhhhhh. that was easy, thanks
Either a SanDisk or Transcend and it should be class 6 for the faster speeds.
Are these for real Class 4
are there any Class 6 yet ?

[Q] Slow Zune Sync With Replaced MSD?

Has anyone replaced their micro SD card and experienced the Zune sync pretty much hanging the device? I replaced it with a Kingston 32GB C4 card and it all seemed to work fine until I went to sync. I can get about 10, maybe 20 songs, sync'd, then it freezes. Kinda sucks.
I'd be very interested to hear how this goes - I have to wait at least aother month for my Venue Pro and I have a Sandisk 32GB C4 card waiting for it, so I will end up in the same boat as you.
(Except mine's Sandisk rather than Kingston, of course)
Please keep us posted on what happens. Incidentally, did you try another hard reset yet?

Sync'd over 100 songs last night on my SanDisk 16GB Class 2 and it went swimmingly.

2 differences here: brand of the card, class

The OP asked if anyone who's replaced the card is experiencing issues. I said I'm not. I'm also using a supposedly slower card. I wasn't implying that the OP is wrong in any way.

No I am simply saying that the brand and class could affect the performance.
Maybe Sandisk and Class 2 are better for the dell venue pro?
Yeah, I dunno. I picked up another 16GB Patriot C4 - haven't tried that yet. I did a soft reset and cleared all apps, seems to be *somewhat* better although it's definitely not right still. I'll probably swap out the card again and give it ago.
Where were you able to find a 32GB SanDisk C4?
I got mine from Amazon 2 weeks ago. It was like $90 with same day delivery.
16GB Patriot...better, but still not great. Replaced the stock 8GB card and it appears to work as normal. I'll order the SanDisk one - seems like that's the way to go.
Edit: And did you get a C2 or a C4? I can find the C2 on their site, but the only C4s I see are Kingston and other brands.
Class four, even though the picture depicted a class two when I received it it was a class four card.

Same here, ordered the class 2, received a class 4.
Now if I could just order the phone or get a ride from here to the local Microsoft store (darn hatred of driving) I'd be all set. I guess if waiting all this time hasn't killed me another week or two shouldn't be tha- I NEEDS IT NOW!!!!

Are you sure it's a genuine 32Gb card? So many fakes floating around that bomb out after you try to copy more than a couple of hundred Mb to them.
Yeah...1.) It's Kingston, which is a brand I think most people trust. 2.) The device shows ~30GB of free space after the reset...so yeah, pretty sure Plus, the issue still occurs, just at a smaller scale, with the 16GB card I got, from another reputable manufacturer.
Thus far, it's taken about 1hr to copy ~850MB of files over =/
There's the issue with WP7... By the time you realise it's not an issue with the card but with your device, you're out of warranty .
Warranties are not worth a thing. What matters is the Sale of Goods act. A manufacturer cannot refuse to repare a faulty device just because you peeled a label off and replaced a card. Unless the fault is caused by the replacement of the card.
You might have to threaten them with Small Claims court action, but rest assured you'll win.
Voiding a warranty is not the same thing as losing your consumer rights. Warranties are provided by manufacturers, consumer rights are provided by law. Law trumps manufacturers. End of.

Doesnt really apply since the Dell isnt available anywhere apart from the US which doesnt have such laws. However we can sue so I guess it evens out in the end.
It's also kind of a hard sell because it works perfectly with the stock 8GB card, so it's kind of hard to call it a fault with the device.
Minor update:
Purchased a 16GB Wintec Class 10 and it did ~850MB in around a minute or so. Definitely closer to what I'd expect.
for those who bought 'class 4' Sandisk - I've found nothing on SD's site to indicate that they even make a C4 card...so, i dunno what to say about that =/ Bought a class 2 32GB from newegg...should be here monday. Hope that works out so I can actually replace my ZuneHD
Sandisk 32GB Class 2 card in my DVP right now. No issues, loaded it up with a ton of videos and music and its working well. About 10GB free of the 30GB right now.
