Micro SD 16GB SDHC

Quick question guys, i have searched, is the TD2 compatiable with microSDHC?

Where did you search, a good place to start would be the specifications section, although does just say SD 2.0 compatible. A quick google on SD 2.0 would get you the answer though.
(Oh yeah, it is microSDHC compatible)

yes, the topaz is compatible with SDHC up to 16gb

Yeah, should do. microSD 2.0 is microSDHC. I've bought a sandisk 16gb card (class 4) for my phone. Still hasn't arrived though, so can't confirm anything. But according to specs it should be a perfect match

Could you check if your card is really class 4 (maybe test it transferring large files on it using a fast adapter? Most card I have seen are class 2, and the one of the only class 4 was subsequently reported as class 2 in a (rightfully angry) user review.
Juts curious, I already have ordered a 16GB sandisk class 2, which seems (by far) the most common 16GB card available. No test yet (still waiting for my card AND my TD2 ;-) ), but others have reported the combination to work and the class 2 speed more than enough for the phone, only the transfer from PC to card may suffer. The other potential area where write speed is important is video recording and photos in rapid succession....But I think VGA recording will not tax the card, and TD2 is not able to take shots in that fast a succession...

thanks....gave up after looking at specification just wanted to be sure before forking out £40

Hi,
I have a 16GB sandisk class 2 currently in my phone and it works fine. I have played a few divx/avi files off it fine. Haven't tested the video recording though.

thanks for the feedback buddy

sandisk ultra is class 6, the normal cards are class 2
i have to correct it:
the 1,2,4 and 8GB ultra cards are class 6, the 16GB is still a class 4
normal sdhc cards are 2
i have a class2 8GB card works flawlesly

I would hope it is. My Elfin is running with a 16GB micro SD. It would be toture if I got it and it didn't. %100 sure it does though.

i have Sandisk class2 16gb on my new Diamond2 and it works 100% fine

does not work
i have just bought a 16gb sandisk sdhc card and it will only show up as 4gb in my phone and laptop and i have also been told the phone does not support sdhc buy a memory card retailer

For the record... I have a Kingston 16GB SDHC. Works like a charm.

Me too... been running a Class 2 16mb Sandisk since day one and no problems.

Does anyone know if a class 6 (16G) will work in the Topaz?

I didn't see differences between class 2 and class 4.....
I'm using Kingston 8GB class 4

+1 for the Class 2 16mb Sandisk.

I've just changed from the Class 4 8mb Sandisk, and the difference in speed loading up the card with music/video is minimal. I think the TD2 itself is maybe limiting the speed more than the "Class" rating. There might be a bigger difference if using an external card reader to write to the card.

Class 2,4,6 should all work. I would think the brand is more critical than the Class, which only gives some indication of max writing (not reading) speed.

After trying with 2 different brands of Class 6 16G SD cards with no luck whatsoever, I decided to go with a Class 2 and works flawlessly.
I didn't want to waste more time with a Class 4, for now, but maybe I will test it in a little while.

32gb card problem !!

I need to use w7. Class4 32gb card is available. How can I use this card in w7, or can I use without any problem which I use with rum. I tried the reset at startup which puts rum always opens by chance, but after seeing this at a time card but gets stuck constantly scratching his rum. Is there a solution or stable rom 32gb class 4 card, which runs with the idea here?
I did my English is not good sorry for that translation google translate

you can try every rom
but its not the rom but your card that is laggy
not every card is good for wp7 so your have to change your card

I'm sorry English is not very good .. Do you have a rom that will support my card now, but I find it needed? previously or currently using a 32gb card and wonder if you have friends among you?

nothing to do with the size, 32GB is the maximum our hardware is capable of taking, buying a 32GB card for our device in the HOPE that it works seems a bit mental to me, yours doesnt work by the sound of it, but that is not because of the size, some of us believe its to do with random access speeds, class 2 or 4 is usually a good bet but by no means will they give you a 100% chance of it working.

Both my Sandisk 32gb cards have worked fine for me... 1 is class 2 with part number ending in A11M, the other is class 4 ending in P36A. Sandisk is a good brand and are pretty consistent in their cards, but even so, there's no 100% certainty that getting the same card will have the same exact performance... but I believe Sandisk gives you the best chance of working well.
I have also tried with my Kingston class 4 32gb card, but that card didn't work too well... was laggy, and kept resetting and not reading the card after reset.
What brand of SD card are you using?

integral micro sd hc 32gb class 4

[Q] Best 16Gb SD card for HD2 with WP7?

Which is the best 16Gb SD card for HD2 with WP7 (no freezes, no reboots)? And which card installed in HD7? Thanks!

You may get varying answers with that question but I was using the Sandisk Class 2 16gb card that came with my TMOUS HD2

I ordered a class 2 San disk off Amazon.co.uk for 15.99 I ended up with a class 4 one off them and it works great but I also heard its pritty much a lucky dip with sd cards for wp7.

no way of knowing what cards will work unless you try it, that is the only answer im afraid, class 2 and 4 seem to have a higher chance of working but your just as likely to have a sandisk working as you are having a supermarket own brand
course the flip side is you may get a class 6 or even a 10 working fine too...
its luck, good luck!

Just thought id add my 2 pence, I started with an 8gb class 4 card (brandless) and decided I wanted more memory so I bought a San disk mobile ultra 16gb class 4 from eBay. I was happy with my 8gb cards performance until I replaced it, the speed increase was massive so I would recommend the mobile ultra by San disk my self I picked mine up for £15 with free delivery

a working OS has absolutely no lag, it smooth and very slick, there is a slight touch screen bug that may mean you need to swipe a couple of times but actual OS transitions are incredible, so if you dont have the experience i have mentioned then its likely your card isnt 100% compatible.

I use the stock sandisk 16gb, class 2 sd card that came with my phone. Runs smooth as butter!

The os was slick and smooth on my unbranded card, the speed difference i noticed was when it came to installing apps. I would estimate it takes a quarter of the time to install an app than it did before. Also there was an increase in speed in running some apps for example fruit ninja used to be slow in parts and now runs alot better

oh for god sake, here we go again,
ITS LUCK!! there is no relation to any SD card working on the HD2 for WP7 other than class 2 or 4 seem to have a high chance of success, thats not to say class 6 and 10 wont work, just less likely
Sandisk have cards that work and others that dont, they are not above this problem, two identical cards may not work the same, because the manufacturing process isnt always the same.
in short, ITS LUCK!!
lol
Unless they start advertising it as a WP7 compatible card, which i doubt will happen as devices that run WP7 must have the SD card in or use additional NAND memory, given that mainstream joe public isnt likely to break down their £400 phone to add some memory i doubt very much that SD card manufactures will release a branded product to the highstreet specifically designed for the WP7 devices that can ripped apart to allow an upgrade to the internal SD card.
the very best you can do is find out the batch number of some of the SD cards in the HD7 and attempt to find a high street version sporting teh same number, good luck with that.

My hd2 wp7 doesn't read my 16 gb sandisk class 2 at all. How do I get it to work?

I first used a Kingston 16gb class 6 but had constant freezes, laggy os and constant reboots. Than I used the SanDisk 16gb class 2 and the phone runs just as smooth as my brothers hd7. But I do get occasional reboots still...

A-data microSD 16Gb class 6 work on my HD2 with Wp7 2 month without problems

i have Sandisk 16GB class 2

I have an SanDisk 16gb Class 4 and after First Boot nothing happens.
Without SD Card wp7 Starts und run perfectly...

Today I changed my 16GB SD card from a no-name class "I don´t know" to a 16GB class 10 SD card. The Phone ist now much more faster than before, it is nearly as fast as my HTC Mozart.
When you have probs with the SD card, it was a very good hint to format it with the digicam.

[Q] SD or SDHC

Looking to get myself a 32gb card.
Just wondering if the play uses SD or SDHC memory cards, or ok with either?

it uses microsd and microsdhc
regular sd card wont do

Yeah, obviously I know it's micro.
Just wasn't sure about the sdhc.
Cheers

It's ok with both sd and sdhc but I think it's not compatible with sdxc (if you'd ever like to get to 2TB maybe it can come in an update, My htc wizard got sdhc support with an unofficial driver update).

A 32 gig card will work just fine with the Play.

I heard there's problems with class 10 32 gig micros on android phones. Is this true?

i'm curious about this, some applications wont work with a class 2 speed sd.
sd or sdhc would do. you should be more worried about the speed. as for now you should think of either getting a class 6 16gb or class 4 32gb (if you could find one).

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220547&Tpk=32gb micro sd

I have class 10 32gb, works fine on xperia play.
The only problem android has, is you cant format 32gb cards on your phone. But most, if not all cards come pre-formatted anyway. Otherwise you have to connect the card with an adapter to your pc to format it.
*edit
You can format 32gb cards on your phone, but it wont format properly and you will have issues. I did with my old phone, it couldnt scan the card properly and it would reboot while trying to scan.

now that's something
read most of the reviews: crashes and corrupts the files, some even only last within 24 hours i'll stick with the class 4 32gb for now

even with the sandisk 32gb class 2 cards, i already replaced 2 of them when they crapped out on me

haven't read anything about this. and the reviews for a kingston 32gb class 4 on the net has been great so far. but if this will be the case i might just go for a 16gb class 6

Ok, so I got a 32gb card, moved all of my stuff off my 16gb (about 14 gig) to my pc. Took about 20 minutes.
Put my 32 gig in, formatted it & transferred everything over.
Took about 3 hours & when I put it in my play it's saying there's 28 gig left & hardly anything I set to transfer has actually gone to the card ! ?

Do a full format and not a quick format.

Ive seen a class 10 32gb micro sd card for 50 quid, but im worried that its too cheap and might not last long.

Memory cards are very reliable IF you bought the original ones and not those unbranded fake cards.
I've never had issues with ALL my memory cards, from the SmartMedia, SD, MS stick and Compact Flash cards used in my Palm and Sony Clie PDAs, my DSLR and micro 4/3 digital cameras, PSPs and DSL and all the way to the microSD cards used in my smartphones and tablets. I purchased them all from local reputable shops and never bought any from online stores. Can't remember the exact figures but I probably had a total of 30 to 40 cards here in my house.
The problem I see is those cards that are found on online shops that are unbranded (anything not Sandisk, Kingston, Lexar, Panasonic etc are all semi-fakes). Just imagine that Sandisk the world's largest NAND Flash memory maker has yet to come out with a 32GB Class 10 microSD as of now and you can already find some smaller unknown companies selling them at very cheap prices since many months back?
Sometimes if a deal is too good to be true, IT IS too good to be true! Of course if you still proceed to get them due to their ridiculously cheap prices, the risk is all yours. For me, I just buy the originals at original prices and not regret it later, my data is much more important to me than saving tens of bucks.
For some reason, there are quite a lot of fake Kingston cards on the market so beware.
Various issues with the fake/unbranded cards are:
1. Reliability
2. On a 32GB card, you may actually get only 4 or 8GB storage, some tricks were added in these fake cards such that once you copied beyond the 4 or 8GB capacity, it automatically loops back internally to overwrite the oldest copied data.
3. Some 32GB Class 10 cards only had Class 2 speeds.
Another advice is that for smartphone usage, you may be better off getting Class 2 or 4 cards rather than higher class cards. This is because although the class 6 or 10 cards can have sequential readings and writings at their stated class speeds, in terms of random access of data on the card they may actually be slower than Class 2 and 4 cards. In other words, you'll get more lags using higher Class cards.

Here's a test I did with a Patriot LX Series Class 10 32GB Micro SDHC

You sir are correct! My Patriot 32gb micro class 10 lags alot When playing the FPSE the game lags too much but with the micro sd card that came with the Xperia play runs perfect I'm gonna return the card and just get a Sandisk 32gb class 2 from newegg.

Recce5
After doing a test of manually copying content to the card I believe I have fallen foul to buying a cheapo card covered by your point 2.
I've bought quite a few cheapo cards back from my old K750i & PSP days but this is the 1st one I've been stung with.

Micro SDHC Cards Listing - Like a Boss :D

So in response to my previous thread on the DVP and if it would work for me I'd like to thank everyone for their insightful thoughts options and most of all answers.
Now my next question, Micro SDHC card choices. And again, answers are the preferred responses but thoughts and options would be fantastic.
I am going to add to and edit together a list of Micro SDHC Cards on here for people to reference for the future.
Firstly, I already own this card but have yet to try it with a DVP. Anyone here with experience or can at least validate the technical specifications as having a chance at working, let me know.

2. Lexar 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card via Amazon **Verified working by InvisibleKnight**
3. Amazon Basics 16GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card via Amazon **Note this is a class 10 card, but according to the first reviewers benchmarks it does 20mb/s copy speed which is twice as good as class 10 speeds. Should work well with a windows phone, theoretically speaking**
4. Sandisk 32GB Class 4 Micro SDHC Card via Amazon (originally manufactured as Class 2 but later reclassed as class 4) **Used by a ZDnet write to upgrade his personal DVP. Has never reported any issues i know of UPDATE - Purchased this card for myself, works like a charm, no probs so far (knock on wood)**

I bought a 32Gb Lexar Class 10 Micro SDHC, and not only it works, my dvp seems to run quite faster than before.

How's your class 10 card holding up?

Micro SDXC has a completely different specification From Micro SDHC. Remember when Micro SDHC came out, older devices that were made to use jus Micro SD wouldnt read them, same issues with the DVP and those SDXC cards.

Are you sure? Not a chance? That pretty much kills my expectations...
Oh well, we'll wait for the next phone with physical portrait keyboard and SDXC compatibility

Wish we can get a little more feedback on this.
Does anyone know if we can go back to the old card if the new one doesn't work out? Is it just a matter of popping the old one back in the sd slot?

I know what u mean. Msoft said tha tthe Windows Phones would be the next generation Zune Players, but coming from a Zune80, a phone shipping with 8 - 16 gbs of storage is pathetic. I have 60 gbs of music, what am i supposed to do with a 8 gb DVP?
Thank goodness the DVP is somewhat easy to upgrade to 32gigs. At the very least msoft should give u the ability to stick two Micro sdhc cards in a phone, mux it together and create a 64gb pool of storage.

tried lexar 16GB class 10?
I got a SanDisk 16 class 4, its been doing fine then it got stuck at whatsapp then the phone goes into a loop of restart and cut off.
The only way to fix it was to recover the phone.
so I need a new card for my phone, I see that the lexar 32Gb class 10 is good for this phone but don't want to go up to 32GB, has anyone tried the 16GB version? Would it come out with the same results ?

Heard there were two patches, one is a renaming of a class 2 to class 4 and another is the newer where its different class 4.
I guess I got the bad batch.....

I recently got a DVP. It shipped with a 16GB Sandisk class 4, which worked fine for a few days until my 32GB Sandisk class 4 arrived, which also has no problems at all.
Watch out for fake Sandisk cards, apparently they are out there.

Yeah it should work just fine that 16gb class 10. A little fyi, i bought that 32 gb sandisk (no 4) Working fine so far.
Once the speed is class 4 and over and there are no bad memory areas on the card u'll be fine no matter the size.
