[Q] SDXC support - Focus General

Has anyone tried to put a 64gb card in the focus? With so many Android devices supporting those and me running you of space on my phone I was wondering if I couldn't use one of those. But I don't want to waste $100+ if it not going to work. So, what say you?

+1. I was considering getting a focus and a 64 gb card to replace my zune. I know it is working on the hd2, so if anyone has tried this I would love to know. Thanks in advance. :thumbup:

whether Asus Transformer prime (on ICS) will support SDHC or SDXC ?
Same here, I just picked up Asus Transformer Prime (32G). Upgraded it to ICS 4.0.3 successfully.
I wanted to buy a micro sd card for expanding my storage, but then got baffled by the various models/variants available..
I found one SDHC and another one SDXC. Reading about them enlightened me a bit, but I didnt find any references to which one of these my tablet will support.
So, asking out loud here, has anyone tried either of these ? and whats the experience ? anyone who has tried sdxc, is it worth the extra money ??
please share experience.
regards

I'm also very interested in this.
From SanDisk's website, they have Ultra microSDHC (class 6) and Ultra microSDXC.
Looking through the XDA wiki, many of the cards listed are older generation.
From Wikipedia
SDHC host devices will accept SDXC cards that follow Version 3.0, since the interface is identical

I have no idea how to find out what version controller is in the Samsung Focus. A quick lookup on pdadb.net did not yield any immediate info.

I guess I'll be the guinea pig. I'll get one from amazon next week and see what comes out of that. If it doesn't work I can always use it in my n900.

I would suggest a lower class (2-4) if possible, as higher class (6-10) are oriented usually around burst speed not fast seek times (as lower class cards are). In any case, thank you!

Just received my card and installed it and I have the pleasure to announce that it works perfectly.

I'd say wait for the eel pad transformer. better screen and working sd card slot. plus it's $100 cheaper for the 32 GB version. runs on tegra 2.

It runs N64 well, but if you need to hold a button down for a while (like A in Mario Kart) it stops working after 15-20 seconds. Very frustrating.

Yep. $450 for 16gb WiFi. Gonna be thicker and heavier though.
I don't know how much weight my opinion carries since I don't have a Xoom(yet) either, but so far I have for the most part have heard good things. So good in fact that I am leaning towards getting one next month.

no sd card for US version ever?

I read an interesting discussion on a European Xoom forum.
As the US Xooms are Google Experience devices and the sd card is not in the HC specs, there is a risk that the slot will never be activated. In Europe the 3.1 updaste is said to already include the sd slot support, but provided from Moto.
Hdtvpower
Considering that HC seems dwtined to be sidelined in favor of ice cream sandwich, that seems possible.
What we may want to start asking is if the Xoom will be able to install ice cream sandwich, and if that will be an official update.

European Xooms have sd support? What? First time I'm hearing this. I know that Transformer has sd support, but that was done by Asus.
I already have it with the custom kernel so I don't mind waiting for ICS to have it officially enabled.

What forum that would be?
I'm pretty sure that this is 100% wrong. The tablet was built and marketed with the slot for the SD card, so they can't very well say that they won't officially support it. (P.s. look in the xoom dev section under tiamat kernal, it allows for SD card support on xoom)

It is this thread and there is guy on it (pOOB73) who is already testing the EURO version of 3.1. He can use inetrnational keyboards (BT bug) and he mentions that Moto includes sd support into it.
For what it is worth.
He also mentions the Google experince device issue and that Moto has no control over the US updates not supporting the sd.
hdtvpower
I'm thinking motor would be wide open for a class action should they end up not supporting the sdcard slot. My Iconia's slot worked fine out of the box on hc 3.0
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
This is not motorola, but Google, google has to send the update to officially support SD. They said they will, so I'm sure it will....soon. Seeing how fast the Xoom gets the updates, xoom owners will be the first to do so.

What I believe he was alluding to is if you root and install the Tiamat kernel and custom recovery, you will have access to your SD card.

So I'm expecting to see everyone there, except for the suckers that bought an EVO LTE. :angel:
Also I might just hold on a little longer until they get LTE here:
Sprint has been rolling out its 4G LTE network, beginning in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Atlanta, Kansas City, and Waco, Texas. More cities are expected to get the release soon. Next up, Sprint plans to bring its 4G service to Baltimore, Gainesville, Ga., Manhattan/Junction City, Kan., and Sherman-Denison, Texas, before Labor Day.
The service provider expects to complete its 4G LTE network rollout by the end of 2013.
Depending how much it cost off contact I might buy one to play with. I should have a job by then. If I don't then... Idk what I'm doing with my life lol

It looks good. I like the Specs. But it's the whole thing of it being a Motorola Device that kills it for me. Plus the Locked Down Bootloader BS. Not something I think I want to get into if I can avoid it. Holding out for an HTC QWERTY KB Device :fingers-crossed: . To all those that say it's not going to happen I say look around. A whole lot of people were saying there would be no more QWERTY KB Devices released by manufacturers. But here we are with about 6-8 Devices that have been released across the various carriers, and manufacturers . So I'm going to try and hold out.

Locked down bootloader? We are lucky to even have s-off on HTC. I was trying to get us a working copy of CM9/CM10 but it's more trouble than it's even worth unless sparksco comes through at this point. NewSense is king on this phone. HTC should send dread7us, onelove420, and drob311 a zillion dollars for fixing their broken out of the box phone.
You know I just got a TF300T and I Don't even care about root anymore because it just works.

True enough NewSense is BA, so are all the other Roms that Team has dropped for that matter :good: . They are all Extremely talented Devs . I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say that we are very lucky to have had them on the Shift. Yes we are fortunate enough to have S-Off on the Shift. But then again it just seems that it's alway slightly easier to achieve that with HTC Devices vs most others.
word on the web is that there making bootloaders unlockable and relockable http://www.motorola.com/blog/2011/10/24/ice-cream-and-bootloaders-and-motorola-–-oh-my/

IDK about better Dev support. If anything I'd say it's about even.
Oh and BTW as if to re-iterate my point about manufacturers still making QWERTY KB Devices. Found THIS on the Android Police website.
Just stumbled across THIS , apparently they want a good launch. They're offering it for $150 if you Pre-Order.
Oh and yet another QWERTY KB Device from Sprint announced HERE.
The 3 keyboard phones that are going to launch are:
Kyocera - Low
LG - Medium
Motorola - Top
Considering that is 3 keyboard phones I somehow doubt sprint is going to release another one for at least a year unfortunately
To add to that, an HTC keyboard phone is unlikely because HTC has been pretty much anti keyboard for a while. The only keyboard phones they made were ones they were contracted in advanced to make.
Also notice a coincidence in HTC heavily dropping in profit ever since they stopped making keyboard phones >.>

Sad to see HTC moving away from KB phones. I owned a TP2 and an Evo Shift and loved them both.
I really like the Photon and will PROBABLY order it but have two concerns:
1. Battery. Says "embedded" and it's only 1780mAH. A little small and not replaceable??? Galaxy SIII has 2000mAH and it's swappable.
2. Memory. Didn't see an SD card slot and internal memory is 8GB. Is that correct? Hope not...
From what I've read 8gb is correct on the internal memory but it does have a micro sd slot. I didn't see what that can be expanded to but 32gb is pretty standard. As for the 8gb internal memory, I have a 2gb partition on my micro sd card and I've never come close to using even 1gb. Just sayin'.

Edit: according to this it does expand to 32g.

Thanks for the clarification. The Sprint site did not show an SD slot so that's good news! Still concerned about the "embedded" battery. I like the option of battery swapping when I need to and most android phones support this capability.

Well if it will handle a 32GB SD Card according to them. Then it should handle a 64GB SD Card with no issues. Reason I say this is because I've already run a 64GB SDHC Micro SD Card on the Shift for over a month with Zero Issues. Same goes for the OG EVO 4G. The card wasn't mine, so I had to give it back :crying: . But it's nice to know that it works on the Shift, and EVO :cyclops: .

The Embedded Battery shouldn't be to much of a concern. Not at all Happy about manufacturers moving to that type of BS. But as was already proven on the EVO LTE, it can be removed. Just not something that's simple anymore. Seems like just another excuse for you to have to take the Device to them . Which is total BS .

[Q] Information about buying a UK Nexus 10

Hi all, I just wanted to know if I buy the 32gb nexus from google play store it is the full uk version becuase the price is way higher on ebay-amazon etc for a uk version, is there a reason why google play is so much cheaper? Also i just came from a Onda v972 which suffered from bad firmware and lag/force closes, is the nexus nice and smooth and reasonably error free most of the time and fast? Thanks for the possible help guys

No. Google are selling faulty products hence why they are so cheap. And again, no, google are not choosing to update their own tablets. It's about as smooth as sand paper.

Google Play store prices are almost always the cheapest for Nexus devices. Amazon and the like are using the fact that the 32gb model is always out of stock to push up the prices.
It's a pretty stable product - I've kept away from modding mine (yet!) and have had only one time when I had to reboot it -got stuck trying to change a lockscreen widget. Worked on the second attempt.

Thanks a lot for the reply, i was just wondering why amazon and ebay still sell them so high when stocks are building up in google play. I have seen some great benchmark videos but had soooo much trouble with the so called "powerfull" onda that I wondered if any tab is quick enough.
Can't compare it to other tabs but it makes my Galaxy Nexus look really slow and that's overclocked with custom rom and kernel.

upgrading to a new phone....

hey guys, im using a gnexus right now and the oppo find 5 has caught my eyes.
i felt the nexus 4 was not impressive enough for my to switch from my gnexus to the new nexus 4
i've been having my eye on htc one and now that i've discovered the oppo find 5, it has become an option to my new phone upgrade.
would you reccomend the find 5? or should i just stick with a more generic brand
I picked the 5 because I know what a PITA it is to own an HTC device. Very well built but locked boot loaders and S-off is always trouble.
Sony or Oppo are the best pick if you care about that stuff... Which I assume you do since you're here.

The screen on the Find 5 is among the sharpest of the 1080p phones. It really is crisp. Phone performance.. depending on what your running is just fine. Not really any lag in the system- other than then usual stock launcher lag you get with skinned phones. Battery life has dramatically improved over recent updates to the firmware. Should be no problem getting a full day. The camera on the Find 5 while it has no bells and whistles with extra settings and stuff, it does take some awesome pictures...and video!
