ive just ordered an XDA 2 on O2, and i want to buy a 1gb memory card from ebay.
what type of card do i need to get is it SD or MMC?
Im not sure of the difference of the two, and which one i need for the XDA 2.
Cheers!
both should work but i'm not sure if the new type of mmc works the ones that are bigger then 256MB since i think it's a new std
most people get SD
1 GB card

Hello,
I am a new Blue Angel user (bought it used) and so excited to get the best out of it.
Well, I am trying to upgrade the storage, and trying to buy 4GB SD Card...
I have seen a lot of
"Dane Elect 4GB SD Cards" on Ebay and
"Transcend 4GB SD Cards" on Amazon, and
trying to buy either one of them.. but I am wondering,
-Are they both compatible? and..
-Which would be a better choice?
Your replies much appreciated.
Best regards,
J.

4GB SD Cards are compatible with Blu Angel?
I read that 2GB is the max value...
hmm
Yeah, after searching through the forum, found out that BA takes 4GB...

Can you write your experience? have you use a 4GB SD card on Blu Angel?
4gb card
i have a topram 4gb card 150x and all is working ok on my xda 2s with tomtom 6 and mp3s, movies
4GB
I bought a D-Tec 120x 4GB SD Card, had a bit of doubt as I have never heard of D-Tec.
However, I received it today, and so far it works fine! It recognises as 4GB.
To clarify this a bit more for people -
There are two types of SD cards right now:
SD (1.1)
SDHC (2.0 - HC stands for high capacity). A good primer on the changes can be found here: http://www.sandisk.com/sdhc/SDHC.pdf
Basically, what you need to know - any card that is regular 1.1 (8mb -4GB) will work in the BA. Any card that is 2.0/SDHC (4gb -32gb) will NOT work, as 2.0 is NOT backwards compatible.
The problem here, as you may notice, is that some 4GB cards are teh 1.0 version, and some are the 2.0. If you are not careful, you may buy the wrong card, and end up with something you can't use.
Now, it is possible that some SD devices can only address values smaller than 4.0GB. But, assuming the device is FULLY 1.1 compliant, a 4.0 1.1 card should work just great.
Here is an example of the differences -
This is a 1.1 card:

This is a 2.0 card:

Hello! I called the customer service of O2 today. It says that a storage-card (MicroSD) for the XDA Orbit cannot bei bigger than 512 MB. I cannot believe that but is this correct? Does anybody know the maximum size for a storage card?
Not true - my Orbit runs fine with a 1Gb card, as does my MDAC3.
I am happily running a 2Gb card in my Orbit
Where's the limit?
What about 2GB or 4GB? Will they work with the XDA Orbit?

Hi,
I'm not as experienced as some others on this forum... I'm sure they'll correct my info
I spent a day or so seraching for info before I got my card, and FWI here are my notes:
2GB fine.
4Gb may be problematic.
Thickness of SD card may be a problem. The latch/Phone card has to be correctly clicked into place around the card.
Some makes of card seem better. Sandisk HIGH SPEED seem to be good.
I've got a 2Gb version and it's ok, but read others experiences in the forums.
I got both Lexar and CNex tools to check formatting could be done with full control and also to provide recovery possibility.
Hope that may help.
damned micro sd card
please can someone help?
i have a 1gb sandisk micro card which is being reported by my orbit as 512mb(minus FAT). i put it into my computer and it is clearly 1gb. i have tried putting more onto the card via the orbit, and it says "no more space", but it is fine via the pc. what's going on?!?
thanks in advance,
Tom
Maybe you should try WM5Storage and format SD card on PC. There is detailed instruction how to do it on forum.
afaik there are no 4gb micro sd cards. 2gb is max for them atm
I sell 2gb micro sd for the orbit on a daily basis and had no problems with them, I even use one myself.

not true i have one and its working!
Mobile 2007 .... what make and how I was under the impression 4GB were not compatible?
I'm currently using a 2GB Sandisk microSD card and it is perfectly working.
Regarding 4GB microSD cards, they are called microSDHC (High Capacity) and as far as I know, the Artemis is not able to read from of write to them.
That's what I thought but it appears mobile2007 has got it to work?
I've got a 1gig with all sorts on it. I think 2gig is the biggest at the moment.

If what you say is true, you'd have made my day
Is this the right forum?
I own a htc tilt 2, but I don't think the phone is the issue.
I've used a sandisk 16gig micro sdhc card and a
8gig micro sdhc card
Everytime i copy files above 2gigs, the files above the 2gigs are corrupted...weird symbols, huge file sizes...
I've used both active sync and a usb sd card reader to copy files.
I'm looking for software to partition the card but I'm not finding any and I'm not really good at this kinda thing.
Anyone have a suggestion or reason to why this is happening?
Thanks!
the problem is your card is a fake chinese product there is nothin you can do
Yeah I agree with the first responder. It looks as if you got a hacked card that is really only a 2 GB card. It won't work past the 2 GB limit.

I think it's because the filesystem of the card is FAT and not FAT32 (which should be able to handle files up to 4GB)
i take it this is happening with both cards?
my fiancee had the same problem with an 8GB card,
all i did was format to FAT32 and it seemed to work ok, had no issues since
Hello, I might need to upgrade the SD card on my G2.
I listen to a lot of songs and 8 GB just wont cut it for me. I have a rooted G2 running desire Z "virtuous" ROM.
I have a few questions:
1. Is this card compliant with G2: Transcend 16 GB microSDHC Class 6 ?
2. Any other better recommendations?
3. I have several important backups etc in my current SD card. What is the procedure to transfer all the data from the old SD card into the new one? (Do I just dump all the data from the old card as-is into the new card)
Most all SD/SDHC cards should be compatible up to 32GB. I have a 16gig class 6 card I used in my old phone and it works fine.
You can copy/paste/dump the files between cards, since SD storage doesn't exactly have a lot of hidden or system files. Or you can copy using a disk/partition tool like gparted in linux, disk utility in OSX, or various utilities for windows.
I had an issue with the bigger SD card in my first G2. It worked fine for a couple weeks then decided it wasn't there anymore.
When I got my replaced (got a new g2) I made sure the SD card was formatted and put it in on day 1.
My recommendation would be to Format the card, then put into the phone. Then drag the files you want on to it.
Another trick is if you want the phone to recognize certain files put them in a folder marked for their use. ie Music, Notifications, Ringtones and Alarms.
Thanks..
I will give this a shot..
I know I am digging up an old thread, but I was wondering what the outcome was for your upgrade. I am planning on putting a 32gb card in my G2, looking at the Kingston 32gb one on Amazon (Kingston 32 GB Class 4 SDHC Flash Memory Card SD4/32GB - can't post a link due to my noob status on forums). I just want to know if that card would work. It seems like it should.
When you format it, does that happen on the phone or do you format it on the PC?
Tried el-cheapo 32gb off ebay - no luck for me
I have tried 2 cheap 32gb off ebay (class 2) and both had issues. I decided to not waste any more time and waiting for a 16gb class 6 (which cost about the same as the class 2 32gb) to see how that goes.
Hmmm....I wonder if the Class 4 would fare any better Anyone out there tried a class 4?
My current SD card is a Class 4 and I've had no issues.
I used a 16 GB Kingston Class 4 that I got from Dell before, but it freaking stopped working out of nowhere, so I'm back to a Sandisk 8GB Class 4, which is working well.
i have a sandisk 16gb class 6. works like a charm.. never had any issues with it.
i am using a 32gb class 4 in my desire z and its working grate.
for the guy that got cheap 32gb sdcards are you sure you wasnt scammed and got a 2-8 GB card that said it was 32gb as these can over write files (corrupt them) with out your knowledge or just refuse to work ones past 2/4/8 GB
The cards actually said 32gb on them. One overheated the instant I used it and melted the sd card holder it came with. Sent it back waiting to get the refund, the other one worked for like a week then died. At first I started to think it was me until I found this thread.
