Guest RussellS Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I use a lot of microSD cards and I've always used Sandisk (I have a 16GB in my SF) without any issues. I just bout a couple of Kingston cards for a friends M3i and they really suck (so slow that they almost don't work). I was in your situation where I couldn't really send them back as they would work with some devices. I will always stick to what I know works in future. That's another endorsement for the Sandisk card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kogos Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 i'm gonna return my blade and get another one, since there is no official word that it is indeed a compatibility issue with all the blades... noone can tell if there is an issue with the blades or some of us are just unlucky to get a damaged device...

Good luck with that. I'm not sure you will have any more luck with a new Blade as they pretty much all seem to be fussy about what card is used. Surely you'd be better off finding a card that works than a phone that works, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wadgel Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 All the cards below have worked without any problems in other devices (other phones, PSP, GPS) 16GB Sandisk Class 2 - unable to mount in ClockworkMod Recovery 16GB Sandisk Class 2 #2 - mounts and allows data to be copied but within 1 or 2 days corrupts data (e.g. MD5 fails on ClockworkModRecovery), after this it wont read in Windows - CRC errors on files. Works again for a while in phone after reformat. 16GB Integral Class 4 - won't mount 16GB DaneElec Class 4 - won't mount 8GB 'generic' class 4 - won't mount 8GB 'generic' class 4 - mounts but then SD card removed message once phone started 2GB Verbatim supplied with phone - no problems! Maybe time to look for a larger Verbatim card... Update - 8GB Transcend currently in and working multiple CMR backups done and 8GB + of data copied back and forth - first non 'stock' card to work for more than few hours.

Guest fredewis Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 32 gb anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest redbaron51 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Yes, that's the one. just to echo that I have received this card and so far it is working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DJ PIGG Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 32 gb anyone? Yeah, Orange's website claim the phone can take "external memory up to 32GB" and yet the manual supplied with the phone says it can only take upto 8GB. That's a big difference! One of the reasons I chose the OSF was because of its 32GB capacity. I'll be really annoyed if I can't (at least) get 16GB into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest insurgente Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 as others have got a 16gb Sandisk from play.com, I believe I got the same one from amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-16GB-micro...5962&sr=8-1 Just got mine and it also has a '4' written on it...though I haven't done anything to ascertain how fast it is... It came from a seller rather than direct from Amazon, i ''frustration free'' packaging but I'd hope Amazon would only use reputable sellers....... it seems to work so far. so happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyrotec Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Same card i got from Play. Tried with r8 MoDaCo Custom Froyo ROM and Japanese Jellyfish RLS7 (A2SD) with no problems! ;) I'm in an awkward position now. I've just received the 16gb Sandisk class 2 card from Play.com but when I look at the card itself (visible through the packaging) it is actually a class 4 card.

Guest Steveharr Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I've recently moved on from the stock B05 ROM to Japanese Jellyfish 3b and now 4. My Play.com Class 4 16GB card is still working perfectly with the new ROMs, and of course I had no problem copying the ROMs over to the phone via USB in the first place. No problem with Nandroid backups either. The way the reports are coming in for a wide variety of cards I would draw the conclusion that there is some sort of problem with contact reliability between the phone and the card. I find it difficult to believe that so many cards are duff from so many different manufacturers. Also, given that there are few/no complaints about the phone when used with the original card I struggle to see what other cause there might be for these problems. My guess is a badly seated card. I have problems with my original card so I don't think this statement is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hanks6 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) not a 16gb related post but....i couldn't be bothered to take any chances and wanted something 100% reliable. if you can make do with 8gb, the samsung 'micro sdhc plus' class 6 model (grey card - shock, magnet proof etc) is super solid and fast in this phone. using one in both OLED and TFT variants. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Micro-Spee...0122&sr=1-6 Edited January 19, 2011 by Hanks6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
