Optimum allocation size Toshiba Class 2 16GB Micro SDHC card

Hi --
Be gentle, please. I am newly registered here and am not sure that I found the correct forum to post this question.
I have a new Toshiba Class 2 16GB Micro SDHC card, just received today. Before I used it and while it is still under warranty, I wanted to test it for genuineness with the H2TestW program, which requires that I format it first.
Certainly I want to retain the default fat32 format but what file allocation size is best?
The card will mostly be used in my Sandisk Clip Plus to play MP3 files. A quick glance shows most of those files to be 5,500-10,000 KBs.
Suggestions, please?
Thanks.

Hi buddy,
I use different SD and SDHC cards for years now and I always use the default settings for allocation size. I never had any problems with that.

Toshiba 16gb micro SDHC card problem, please need help!

Hello,
I didnt know where to post about this problem, so I just post it here. I bought few months ago Toshiba 16gb micro SD HC card for my android Huawei Acend G300 it worked fine for two months, in computer and in my phone, but yesteday after I listened music my android made restart by itself. I tought it was nothing so I went to sleep. But in the morning I saw that my mobile says that I have no sd card insterted into phone. I made restart to my phone, took battery out and took sd card off and put those back in, but still didnt find my sd card. Then I put my sd card into computer with micro sd card adapter but it cant find my sd card too. it doesnt reconize it. Please does anyone can help me with that? I had important stuff on that card,
Thank You For Reading
PS! Sorry for my english I hope you understood what I was saying.

Greetings,
I realize it's been quite awhile since your post but, did you ever get a response on how to correct the issue with your 16GB MicroSD HC card that 'died' suddenly? I ask because I had a similar issue. My card suddenly unmounted itself (it was in a Galaxy S3) then it just was 'gone'. Phone doesn't see it, pc doesn't see it...
From what I was able to determine it would appear that this card is history and unrepairable but was curious if you ever had any luck in either recovering data and/or getting the card to be useable again.
thanks,

Speed class number of a micro sdhc card

Does the speed class number of a micro sdhc card make any difference for a Sprint 8330?

Please remember to "Accept as Solution" the post which solved your thread. If I or someone else have helped you, please tell us you "Like" what we had to say at the bottom right of the post.

I guess what I'm asking is the following:
1. Does the 8330 support/accept any of the speed class ratings?
2. Is a, for example, Class 4 card 'faster' than a Class 2 card? Or is it the other way around?
I have a 1 Gb in my BB now and don't do a lot of the downloading of videos/ringtones etc so I should be fine for a while, but was curious to know the above in case I see a great price on a larger card. My 8330 will support 8 gb.

New Curve not recognizing an 8gig micro SDHC card

Hi - I am totally new to the BB and to this forum. Here's my dilemma - I just bought and "installed" an 8gig micro SDHC card last night. The phone does not recorgnize it. First when I went to take video, it told me to install a formatted card. When I try to format, I get the message "Media Card Format Failed". I have tried many times, checked on how it looks in it's spot behind the battery, etc. Everything else seems OK. Any help??
Thanks much.

What I can deduce from my experience is that one should not buy a SDHC card if you've got a curve 9300 or 9330 phone. Even if the SP tell you the model is compatible with the technology, blackberry specs only mention that SD cards are accepted
http://worldwide.blackberry.com/blackberrycurve/3G/curve_specifications.jsp
Hello,
Sorry...but wrong. The only difference between SD and SDHC is the capacity of the card. SD goes up to 2GB (officially...some have labeled themselves SD but go to 4GB). SDHC goes from 4GB to 32GB. HC simply stands for "High Capacity." More information is available in the Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
So, while the BB specs may only say "SD", they must include SDHC since they further indicate the capacity of Media Cards that various OS levels support:

Definitely a no brainer!
I find it very odd that a sandisk class 6 card is cheaper than a sandisk class 4 card???
Of course it's odd!
I think the answer is just that prices are quickly dropping, especially on newer models, and the "class 4" prices are just "old" prices of items already in stock.
The italian online-shop site I was browsing (a reliable site, AFAIK), looking for the card, sells "class 4" for 39,49 euros and "class 6" for 35,89 euros.
And it seems they just retouched the higher price: just a couple of days ago, on the same site, "class 4" model price was about 45 euros! I think now they are trying to sell all "class 4" they have in stock, whereas they say they have no "class 6" in stock at the moment (I could just order it).
Thanks everybody for the clarifications.

C7 Micro SDHC Card Problem

I am having problems with my Nokia C7 which fails to start after installing a Kingston Class 4 16 GB Micro SDHC card. The card works perfectly in other devices (including a Nokia 6120 Classic!)
The C7 works OK with a 2 GB micro SD card.
The card appears to be within specification and whilst a C7 is not listed on the Kingston website the card is approved for the C6 and various other earlier models.
Any suggestions on how to get the card to work would be welcome.

Try formatting the memory card. If formatting via phone not possible or its not working try Connect your phone to a PC via mass storage mode and try and format the memory card.

E65 and 4gb Micro SDHC card

Hi out there
I bought a 4gb Kingston Micro SDHC card for my new E65, but the phone don't regognize the card.
Can the card be used with the phone, and if so - how.
My phone has softwareversion 3.0633.69.00 from 06-02-08
Thanks in advance

The card cannot be used with the E65.
The E65 only supports the micro SD standard so it's maximum is 2GB. 4GB cards are the newer SDHC standard and cannot be made to work on older hardware.

Micro sdhc card

hello does E51 support 8GB micro sdhc cards??

oh a 4GB will not slow down your phone.
I heard ppl speak about 8GB slowing down, causing trouble restoring the phone memory after a firmware update etc etc. But I think a sandisk of 8GB could be ok. Still I will not try it.
remember that industry standards as spoken of in the above link are not always equally well implemented by all manufacturers. That is why I simply do not believe all of the good talk about the 8GB micro cards. I had my experiences with memory cards on all sorts of devices and you always end up loosing things if you're not careful.
But most important is NOT to buy a Kingston card. A sandisk works fine in my phone. I even have over 1GB of Nokia Maps installed and that application runs smooth. So I would say buy 4GB. Cause if you ever want to have some maps on your phone you can use a little extra memory.

Re: 8GB Verbatim Micro SDHC card recognized as 1GB Micro SDHC Card

Dear All,
A brandnew VERBATIM 8GB Micro SDHC Card is only recognized as 1GB in my T130 / WIN 7 - funny enough: A brandnew SANDISC 8G SDHC Card is recognized as 8GB
Anything I can do here to use the VERBATIM Card ?
Any Feedback is much appreciated
Ciao Gerhard

Where did you buy that 8GB SD Card? Are you sure it's genuine?
If you got it from eBay or similar, it may be a fake SD Card that is physically 1GB but reformatted and re-badged as 8GB.

Curve 8330 and I'm using a 16 gig micro sdhc card

believe it or not, I am using a 16 gig micro sdhc card in my sprint 8330 curve. At the time of purchasing I had no idea that certain OS supported a max amount of gigs. So of course imagine my surprise when the desktop software would not recognize the card -- luckily the sender of the card sent me a usb flash drive with a sdhc card adapter -- so I just put the micro sdhc card into the adapter and put the adapter into usb the flash drive and I just upload all of my music, etc. onto the card, then insert the card back into my bberry and voila, it works. Everything shows up. Mind you, it's a pain b/c if you want to add/remove things you can only do it this way vs. using the desktop software, but for the amount of space, I can deal with it. I actually sold my itouch (16 gig) and now am just using my phone as a media player. It's pretty cool! Anyhow, just thought I would share.

thanks for the info

Sandisk's 16gb micro sd card compatible?

Hi,
Here is the link of the item:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Sandisk-16GB-Micro-SD-SDHC-MicroSD-Memory-Card-16-GB-TF_W0QQitemZ130314550455QQcm...
I want to know if this micro device is compatible with the BB curve 8900. It says on the box of the BB that it's compatible with micro sd and in its description that its compatible with a card up to 16gb of memory.
So... Yes or no? I'm not sure b/c the seller isn't sure, he just told me to check out with my manufacturer.
Regards,
A.R
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey,
Don't be upset with seller's comment!!
From your device go to Options -> About...you'll find your device's OS version. Now match that OS version with the below table -
BlackBerry Device Software version
Media card size limit
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0
Up to 2 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1
Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2
Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0

BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0
Up to 8 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0.81 and later
Up to 16 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0 and later
Up to 32 GB
By the way all 8900 devices hit the market with OS version 4.6.0 and above....meaning your device will accept media card upto 32GB.

Micro SDHC card 16gb for X-Fi2?

I'm interested in buying another micro SD card for my X-Fi2. I plan to use it to store movies, so obviously I'd like it to be a decent size.
From the list of supported SD cards it looks like the SDHC cards from Sandisk are only supported up to 8gb. Ie, that the 6gb size is only supported in SD, not in SDHC.
I find this rather strange as micro cards that size aren't readily available in anything other than HC these days, as far as I can tell.
My question is this: has anyone had any experience using the 6gb Sandisk SDHC micro cards with the X-Fi2, and if so, does it work? I'm not too eager to spend the money on it and then find out it's no good. :-)
Thank you to anyone who can help!! :-)

Hi,
SD cards that are not listed are not tested by Creative, it may or may not work. You might want to bring along the X-Fi2 for testing if you are planning to make a shopping trip.

16gb micro SDHC on E90 - data loss

Hi there,
My 16gb Sandisk Micro SDHC which I was using on my Nokia E90 was alright till yesterday. This morning when I browse my memory card, I cant see any of my data on it. All I can see is the default folders "Documents, Images, Other, Sound clips & Video clips" which are empty, and few unrecognized files named with special characters on the root. The annoying thing is when I check the card details, it show 7gb as used space. I am able to put new data on it, tried copying a file from phone memory to memory card and it worked fine. Checked it on my PC too, shows the same contents as the phone do. Properties of the drive shows 7gb as used space, but the properties of the contents shows just around 50KB. Even nothing found in hidden mode.
What happened to my memory card? Will I be able to retrieve my data back?
Kindly share your ideas...
Many thanks...
sreegonu

....contd.....
For other purposes, 've installed FExplorer today on my phone and to my surprise, few of the disappeared contents are shown on FExplorer, and those contents which are explored on it are now appearing directly on phone's File Manager. But the other items are still not found and the storage still shows 7gb data is on it. And those files like things with special characters cannot be deleted. Even the options menu doesnt work for them.
please help...!
