SD 4GB - WHICH ONE??? - A-DATA 150x vs. Pretec 133x

I am looking for a 4GB SD card for my Qtek S200.
A-DATA "150x" is cheaper than Pretec 133x.
I know, I will not realize the speed difference in XDA.
Could you tell me your speed experiences with these cards in PC card readers?
THANX

i had a pretec and it didn't work so well. the card would corrupt all the time. i have had a-data with no problems but i may have had an odd experience

DO NOT GET ANY CARD THAT IS MORE THAN 2GIGS THAT IS NOT SDHC. Wether it is SD or minisd or microsd if you get a 4GB or higher card make sure it is SDHC or you are asking for trouble as most if not all regular sd cards corrupt data sooner or later if they are not HC.

4GB works on non-SDHC
I use a non-SDHC card in my phone and not had corruption problems with it. Main advantage is it works with all card readers whereas SDHC only work with some card readers.

Official Response from HTC on SDHC

Good Afternoon Mike,
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.? There will not be a patch for the new memory card technology SDHC, the phone you have got was made long before the technology was around, so therefore is not a feature on the HTC 3300
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
Best regards,
Dawn Blandford

I hope she doesn't know what she is talking about!

Oh dear... let's hope she is TOTALLY wrong.

Which HTC model do you have?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the SDHC technology was available long before the HTC P3300 was released.

Isn't this the same technology that we used with SD cards in our old PPC's with WM03? I can use a 4GB SD card in my old Toshiba E755.

Well, not necessarily. All SD cards 8 Gb and above are SDHC. All SD cards 2 Gb and below are NOT SDHC. 4 Gb SD cards should all be SDHC, but in practice, lots of vendors offer non-SDHC versions.

So you're saying that I can get a 4GB card to work in my Artemis that's not SDHC? If so, got a link to who sells these?

the problem is that artemis devices use microSD cards and not standard SD cards. i have yet to see any 4GB non-SDHC microSD card...

I think they want to included this in new models and use it as a new feauture....including it in an older model wouldn't be very wise from their point of view....

There is a difference guys between SD SDHC and microSD SDHC:
SD more than 4GB = SD SDHC
microSD more than 2GB = microSD SDHC

Gotcha. Really, a 2GB card would be plenty but TomTom Maps are the only thing that make a 4GB card look way more appealing to me. Unless your just carring around a bunch of media files, 2GB would suffice for most people. Guess that was their thinking

Is it available for 4GB Micro SD?

My Phone is X01HT ,OS is Black_X,so does it support 4GB Micro SD?

SDHC on WM6
If your OS is WM6, then it should support SDHC. The SDHC standard specifies a size range of 4 GB - 32 GB. If your OS supports the SDHC standard, then it can read any SDHC card. Of course, there are no 32 GB cards... Yet!
There are actually some non-SDHC 4 GB cards. In particular, Q Memory makes 4 GB non-SDHC cards, but I believe they only have full size and mini, not micro. FWIW, while I was able to read the miniSD 4 GB non-SDHC on my Wizard, running WM5, it was so slow that I couldn't actually run any programs installed onto the card!
Regardless, if you have any of the great WM6 ROMs here, you'll be able to read a microSDHC card.

XDA IIS Memory stick problems - 4 GB Micro SD with adapter

Hi all. I'm new on this forum and have recently had my new phone stolen from me. I decided to blow the dust off the XDA IIS and have spent the last few days on here fiddling with it.
I ordered a new 4gb memory card. It is 4GB Micro SD inside a SD adapter. and works perfectly in the PC. I also have an old mi nin SD 512 inside an SD adapter and this works. I 've spent hours reading the forum and can't find a solution. I apologise if this has allready been asked but does anyone have any suggestions?
Its an XDA IIS and I have tried numerous windows installations on the phone with the same result. It is now running WM 6.5.3
Thankyou in avdance...

as a matter of facts, it has been asked dozens of times already. but still:
4gb is the boarderline size for sd cards (sd, mini-sd, micro-sd doesn't matter).
4gb is available as an sd1.0 card (standard sd), and also as sd2.0 card (sdhc). the sdhc standard is not compatible with the blueangel.
or, in layman's terms:
every sd card of 2gb or less capacity works
every sd card of 8gb or more capacity doesn't work
for 4gb cards you have to look out, so you don't accidently buy an sdhc card, kingston and transcend have good standard 4gb cards.

Thanks for your reply. So basically it should work? I tried to make sure I didnt buy SDHC and it doesn't say it on the card. Would you say that the card more than likeley is SDHC?

what brand and model is it?
but afaik all micro sd cards of 4gb are sdhc, there are very few normal size 4 gb sd cards, namely kingston and transcend, but the majority of 4gb cards is sdhc and therefor incompatible.
