32gb card for WFS

Does anyone know if the WFS can support a 32gb micro sd. I am using a 16gb but filled it up. Just wan't to know if it can support it. I don't want to buy one and have it not work.

Yes, it does support microSD up to 32GB.

Yes, it does support 32GB. Been using it for quite some time myself.

That's good. Will be ordering one soon then. Thank people

No max is 32Gb.. 64Gb is too much for our little wfs

Nope... I have got a friend who owns a WFS too and uses a 64 GB SD card
Even a HTC Wildfire A3333 Buzz could handle that.

[Q] MicroSD

So i'm buying an 8gb microsd card today, i want to set up link2sd on it. Which company and how much should i partition it for best results?

Anything class 4 and above will do and I have a 512mb partition with 256mb swap which is good enough for me

Will a 2gb ext4 partition do? I really don't know the use of swap
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium

I recommend you go for a Samsung class 6 or 10 as those have proven to work even with the demanding DATA2SD.
I partition it this way (approximate sizes):
1st partition: FAT32 primary, 6.2GB (Set as active)
2nd partition: Ext4 primary, 1GB
3rd partition: Linux Swap primary, 512MB
Good luck!

Yes it will but it is the maximum recommended size for an ext4 partition. Swap is extra memory for the phone when many apps are running or you have memory hungry apps. Maybe you can do a 256MB swap partition because you decided to go for an 8GB card.
I suggest you try DATA2SD. It will make your phone faster.
I tried it with a 8GB class 4 card and it did not work. Now I have a 16GB class 6 and it works like a charm.

Hi SDOTN
The Wildfire S supports Micro-SD and Micro-SDHC cards up to 32GB.
I'm not a fanboy but if you can get a Samsung or a Transcend card you will be well served.
I tried DATA2SD with the following three cards that DIDN'T work:
1. The stock 2GB card that came with the phone
2. Sandisk 4GB Class 4 card
3. Kingston 8GB Class 4 card
Only when I got the Samsung "Essentials" 16GB Class 6 card in my phone I saw the m1ndh4x8r ROM working properly.
With the 8GB Kingston Class 4 I could use Link2SD, however it was too slow opening applications.

Just bought an 8GB SanDisk Class 4 SDHC. [No one had class 6 or 10 unfortunately).
I'm trying the partition now.

If it doesn't work don't say I didn't warn you. Some class 4 cards can be crap.
From my own experience the Link2SD and DATA2SD apps need fast cards and that seems pretty obvious. You will install applications and run them from the memory card...
I really wish you a great deal of luck! You will need it.

yes i also got myself a a Transcend CLass 4 16gb SDHC, Difficult to get a class 6 here (in India-Mumbai)

help
hy guys,
i have created a ext 4 partition inside my sdcard..... i noticed in widows i can format only part fat32 en effect i can see only this part.
how can i format totally sdcard to return back on my full space?
can i erase ext partition in windows or with my phone my sdcard?

I'm using 8GB microSD card class 2 with DATA2SD, and it's working.
Yea, it knows to lag sometimes.
Anyway, I think I'll buy 8GB class 6 card soon I get some money.

It works!
8GB SanDisk Class 4 SDHC with:
Link2SD
5GB FAT32
2GB EXT4 Partition
512MB Linux Swap

i ve transcend 8gb class 4. how should i do partition on it ? please suggest me.!

Samsung, sandisk, pny, lexar and patriot all have class 8 and 10 floating around the interwebs but the evo doesnt need anything higher than a 6 unless u want to transfer alot of data between your phone and pc since the ohone wont read or right faster than class 6 speeds

They make class 2-10 but the evo just doesnt have the hardware capability of going past true class 6 speeds however most of the new phones can handle class 10 so when u upgrade u wont need a new card if you want your class 10 to perform better in the evo u can force it software wise by using a 2mb /2048kb cache size on the sd card sd speed increase on the market by daniel meriman works good for this and can be set at boot there is a chance of damaging the card or slot by doing this but i havent had any issue yet and ive been tweaking my sd speed for a long time now

Tried a SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC card in my gf's One V today.
Had to format it on the phone, but after that seems to work just fine.

I thought the android OS only supported up to 32GB Micro SDHC, I'm not sure if it supports SDXC, but if it does, that would be the sweetest thing ever, more FLAC on this baby makes for a happy me

Was hoping it would. Looks promising. Thanks for your feedback

Theres no phones that officially suport the 64gb cards but lots of phones that actually seem to work ok with them. Including the sensation, the gs2 and galaxy note to name a few. I would have thought that as long as its been formatted it should work ok.

Hey, does it matter if the MicroSD (8GB) is Class 4 or 10? I don't understand the difference but i better ask before i buy one.

The class tells you what minimum write speed the manufacturer guarantees.
Most cards go a good deal above the value because the manufacturers play it safe.

Please keep all question related threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.

Tell me your opinion about swap memory

I have a plan to buy a 16 GB class 10 sd card, and make a swap partition.
What do u think about that, because i have heard a few opinion about that. somebody said that swap is not good for our sd card, the other one said that class 10 sd card is good in writing speed but it doesn't good in random writing which it's mean class 4 is better, and many more
I just ask for your opinion, and probably u can give me an advice

Go pull it off..
And then take a look at your sdcard, if there is a number inside a small circle, that's your sdcard class
Ussualy class 10 and 6 are written, but class 2 or 4 not
U could check it via sdtool too..
Class of sdcard means the minimum write speed of that card, if u found ur average writing speed 5 or 4, below 6 it must be class 4 sd card
That's what i know..

There is a huge thread somewhere here about SD cards and I got the idea that a classe 4/6 is better than a class 10 for this kind oh usage. I understood that a class 10 SD card is better for hd and recording videos but for random writing speed, lower classes are better.

The best all around card I've ever found is Sandisk class 4.
My 32gb Sandisk class 4 outperforms any other class 10 or 2 32gb card I've tested in the random access and random read/write speeds. That's what's most important when using with WP7 or Android when using it for apps or OS files that need to be accessed quickly. Class 6 and 10 cards are setup to initialize the area of the card that is about to be used to make the sequential write/read quicker, but it takes extra time in the beginning to do the initialization. If your using the card where you need to access small bits of info from various parts of card quickly, you will do best with class 2 or 4.
Most people seem to assume that the higher the class, the better the card is for everything, but that's not how it is. Different purposes need different kinds of speed... cards with higher sequential speeds have lower random speeds."

is there a differec for class 6 or 10 or 4 ?

First, do u know why RAM called Random Access Memory ?
Because it access the memory randomly
In my opinion, An operating system need random access because the system files is located in different directory, and usually has a small size.
App need fast access to the needed file, and RAM do a random access to fulfil that purpose.
Get it ?
And sequential writing is something like you record a big size video, and it stored in the storage, i think that operation need fast writing speed only in one directory, so doesn't need a random access

SWAP partition is one of the best things introduced in Linux, and so on, on Android. It's so useful for our GIO, because of its low ram capacity.
I suggest to use it, but it will shorten sdcard life (in some cases). If you really need it, what are you waiting for?

Lucky me, received my new SD Sandisk 8GB class 10 and it's specific for mobile UHC-I so it has besides good sequential speed also good random access speed will replace old card later this week and give feedback on results.
