[Q] 32GB SD-Card with Wildfire S? - HTC Wildfire S

This ones got me a little confused.
Both my younger siblings have the Wildfire S that came with 2GB SD cards - these both work fine.
We've fitted 32GB cards into both the phones and my brother in particular repeatedly received the dreaded "SD Card unexpectedly removed".
Today, my Sister also claimed to have the same issue.
I've spoken to HTC who after several minutes of searching for an answer could only say they haven't tested 32GB cards with the HTC Wildfire S and that we'd need to test it with 16GB cards first.
Are HTC being straight with me by saying that the Wildfire can only support 16GB cards properly or is there something else at fault here?
Both cards were from bought at play.com.
Thanks.

I've got the same problem than you. And my SD card is only a 4Go one...
But, after a second try, it works.
I think it comes from the quality of the card (writing speed may be ?).

Format it first in the computer with fat32.

I've formatted the card as FAT32 already via my PC.
It's a 32GB Class 4.

and i have problems with my 32gb class 4 card.
if i connect with my pc, coming error.
have fotmat it with pc and with phone.
no any chance.
now i using a 16gb class 4

Class 4 for a 32gb is too slow, you need at least a class 6

But can anyone say clearly whether HTC Wildfire S supports 16GB class 4 card or not ?

Supports 16gb class 4 as that is what I used

I use both 16 and 32 GB Class 10 Adata SD cards with my Wildfire S's and they have never had that, or any, issue.

I think 2.3.5 kernel source is not yet released in htcdev.com only available is 2.3.3. I havent checked. Also we need a new working data2sd for 2.3.5 cause old one dont work. If anyone finds a working one PM me so we can make a new sense ROM and other mods you like.

edit I just checked its already available. I'll see what I can do. hmm. expect 2.3.5 OC kernel in a few days. got to find a pc now for ubuntu to compile kernel.

I also have a 32G class 4 card in my WFS. Never had any problems with it.

Sandisk 32Gb Class 4 seems to work for me
I've just swapped the Samsung 2Gb SDHC card that came with my Wildfire S for a 32Gb Class 4 Sandisk SDHC card that my wife's aunt bought me for Christmas.
I've not used it much, and I'm unlikely to press it with video, but it's played the music that I restored to it (from a backup of the 2Gb SDHC) and it still has 29.7Gb free for more music (one of the main reasons for getting the phone and asking auntie for a 32Gb SDHC card for Christmas)

i hv d same issue with all cards...then i tried class2 and voila....its workd...i previously tried class 4 4gb...nw i m running 8gb class 2 ...so i thnk it supports only class 2 or smthg else...i hv also installed sd speed increase

What MicroSD Classes Work with the Desire...?

My question was concerning my 16gb Class 6 card (which actually appeared to be corrupt/broke'd anyway)
I asked about compatibly with the Desire...
htc said:
Thank you for contacting us.
In regards to SD Cards
I can help you with that.
The card that you are trying to use is not compatible with the phone as the class is too high speed for the device to be able to keep up with the speed. I have included a link to a webpage with the sd cards that are compatible with that device.
http://www.expansys.com/a.aspx?i=196001
If you look under the accessory tab then down the bottom is compatible memory.
I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

I'm sure I read some threads about class 10's working fine in the Desire?
The link seems to suggest only a class 2 or a class 4 will work...
I'm using a class 4 without problems so far.
On a dutch board I read a guy was using a class 6 on Starbust so it should be possible I think.
I've just bought a 16gb class 4 Sandisk and the speed tests show it as being quite a bit faster than my class 4 (non Sandisk) 8gb card!
I'm using class 4, working fine
I'm using a 8GB class 6 card with Custom ROM and A2SD with no problem. Been over 6 months now.
A lot of class 10 cards have issues, class 6 seems to be the most reliable thus far. Some people have had good experiences with A-DATA 16gb class 10.
So from user experience - a good Class 6/10 card should work just fine?

For C6 yes.
For C10 Mostly yes... but usually class 10 is not really faster... so save the money.
Just my two cents.
I'm using Transcend 8GB class 6 without any problem. Try to format by gparted or similiar. Are you using it for any other purpose than storing photos, music or etc? For example for data2sd or apps2sd?

I bought a 16gb class 6 to use with data2sd but struggled as the card was broken - so i've sent it back and just have the 8gb class 2 that i got with my phone now - and on stock rom again, so it is just photos and music and froyo app2sd at the moment
basically all branded cards will work fine, the thing you shoud be concerned more onthe capacity you are gonna use. It aint worth buying a 16GB sd when u cant fill even half of it with useful stuff
If speed is your thing then get a class 4 or 6 but I had SD mounted as read only with a class 4 8 gig Kingston SD, so I swooped with a buddy of mine for a class 2 SD from a Nokia n95, no problems since then.

Ya, thats the one. Finished formatting and copying files to the cards. The Wintec one which is class 10 is running a little bit weird. I'm try the kingston class 4

I have 16GB Class 10 Joyflash (noname). Could you tell, why Class 10 "is not so good on desire z", becouse I dont understand this.
If card reader of desire is slow, on level of Class 6, if you put Class 10, doesnt change anything, but why "is not so good"?
I can safely say that my 32 GB class 6 has no issues. I've been reading on the subject and for some devices the class 10 is flaky... might just be a firware/software issue. Who knows.
But I'm ok with my class 6. Write: 9mb/s and read 24.3m/s
Ok so after everything last night I ended up keeping the kingston class 4 instead of the wintec class 10.
One thing that everyone should know if they are planning to upgrade soon and have forgotten this. The speed to write to a micro sd is slow then the speed to copy from a micro sd. This is my experience last night at least... I can copy a certain file to my desktop in 40 seconds but to put it on took 2-3 minutes.
Anyways, just be patient and go to a place you can get refunds so you dont get screwed with a bad card lol. With my experience the 32 gb class 10 wintec sucks, the write speed was insanely slow. So I stuck with a name brand instead, I really wanted a sandisk but they werent available.

Actually, my original Wintec card was screwing up and wouldn't keep the data partitions written. The replacement I got from Wintec is working the way it should, and it actually is acting like a class 10 card.

Class ratings refer only to write speed. And write speed is always going to be slower than read speed.

Thank You: I can confirm this.
I had to put a SD in my old DesireZ/Vision for one of my son (10 years... there's no religion....) to replace a old 4GB crashed one.
The phone is running SenseI ROM (fine ROM: a very good way to replace the stable CM7 and run ICS 4.0)
I bought on Amazon Samsung EVO uSD 16GB Class10... and it was not recognized... So I read it on the PC to see if is was good or not: it was OK!
Recovered the trouble upgrading the Galaxy S2 of the other son from a old 8GB class 4 (probably Kingston o Transcend) to the brand new 16GB EVO Class 10, and putting the old 8GBB in the Desire Z: quickly recognized and optimally mounted both cards over both the 2 phones!
But I was disappointed... more than speed performance I thought that Class 10 memory card were also better on quality, due to a more robust and stable architecture of the chips inside.... and
much more recommended for the "systemdisk-like" use on Android Smartphones!

[Q] microSDcards 32Gb formats to 30Gb and doesn't mount in clockwork recovery

I tried this to no avail. Used gparted to partition and format several times.
when using adb, I don't see devices attached, strangely enough. and so expectedely, subsequent commands from above link do not function
when I put the sd card in a pc under linux, I see all the partitions.
when I boot leedroid, card storage is available.
tried a vast amount of hints and solutions, but nothing helped.
During my trials, lost 2gb of sdcard storage...nowhere to find them...
phone is rooted, s-off. a 16GB sd card works like a charm but is getting small
I want to use cm7, as it give me more room for sw. (phone is always full as for many of you!)

Most people has problem with a class 10 sdcard, 16gb or 32gb class 6 and below, no problem.
I had same problem with 16gb class 10 but not with 16gb class 6.
So my recommendation is to get 16 GB Class 6 SD card from a good manufacturer like A-DATA, Kingston, Lexar or SanDisk. It will be fast enough for all operations.

If you are having issues with SD Cards, post the format you are using, i.e. exfat, ext3, ntfs, etc... Also, how you formatted it, via laptop, or on the Android device itself.
I have a 64Gb & a 128Gb San Disk SDXC UH-1 & both work excellently. I do not know if it has been fixed, but at one point 64Gb Sd Cards came formatted in exFat, which Android did not support over 32Gb. Maybe they've fixed that, but I don't remember what I formatted to last, it was a few devices ago.
I didn't format it, maybe thats the issue, i just threw it straight in and started using it, I'm in work now and can't check what format it is in, i'll check when i get home.
EDIT: just download an app to check and it is formatted in FAT32.
Whats the recommended format for SD cards with android?

I done the same, but it formatted in HPFS/NTFS and now the sandisk app on see's the card as 10gb, but my computer see's it as the full 64gb, so going to format it back to fat32.
Hopefully someone can come up with a solution.
May be this thread could shed some light on this subject:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897260
P.S. My SanDisk 64GB card came pre-formatted and I have no issue with Zoe on M8. However, when I purchased SanDIsk Card 64GB from eBay, it showed 4 GB available space? Then I tried a generic Micro SD card 64GB and M8 would not even recognized the card due to poor contacts. I purchased mine from a local Staples and it works w/o any issues. I ended up paying few extra dollars as compare to on-line bargains but it was worth the price. In other words, you may want to try another card and see if it works.
Good Luck
I'll have a look through that thread later. My card is the non mobile sandisk ultra, but its still class 10 uhs-1, so I don't know why there is an issue with it, might contact HTC themselves and see if they can shed any light on it.
