Guest rudi_runkel Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hi all, I'm a proud owner of a MPx220 and want to add a mini sd card, possibly 1 GB. Did anyone try it already? If successful which manufacturer did you take? If only 512 MB work, which one should I take? Thanks a lot in advance Rudi :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paraklas Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Mini SD cards from PQI seem to have the best compatibility with this phone. I personally have a sandisk (512mb) and I have a lot of problems. I don't know about 1GB Sd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paraklas Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) it can go up to 2 gigs! Have you actually tested a 2 gig SD? - I would prefer a 2gb with SDIO (if it was supported of course ;):) ) Edited April 28, 2005 by Paraklas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Seth Cold Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 i have a sandisk 256 mb and was the worse until i flashed 1.25 rom now im expecting a 60x 512mb PQI... we'll see how it turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drizze99 Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I just purchased the 60X ATP 256MB card and couldn't be happier! Out od the 1GB cards that are out so far, the one from MobyMemory is the best. It use SLC flash chips. I still have no idea what type of flash chips pqi uses, but that would be my second choice. I wouldn't dare buy a SanDisk!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dchester Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 reading problems? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, intermitantly it will fail to see files on the card (especially after rebooting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marc McHale Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 I have a mobymemory 1 gig miniSD and it has worked flawlessly since day 1. Not massively cheap, but definitely worth it. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest badbob001 Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 I still have no idea what type of flash chips pqi uses, but that would be my second choice.

Guest dchester Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 tell me more there is to it and how are you puting programs on the sd <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mostly I have MP3s on it, but I do have a few video clips as well. I recently bought a card reader, so that's what I use now to copy stuff onto it. Someone had suggested that I reformat the card (FAT16), when they heard of my intermitant problems, but if anything, that has made it worse. It used to be that it only had problems reading from the card right after I rebooted, and once it finally started reading, it would usually work OK. But now it will start working and sometimes fail again without rebooting. I will say that I never had any issues on the original .325 firmware. Also I've seen posts from other people that said that once they went to the unbranded 1.25 firmware, their cards worked fine. Once the 1 gig card become more prevalent, I plan on getting one of those, but it won't be a Sandisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest omega2008 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 i know of alot of people who don't like sandisk i have sandisk and it works like a charm <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have 3 SanDisk cards....1GB SD card, 512mb and 256mb miniSD cards and I have never had a problem with them. I am guessing some people got faulty cards. I am about to buy a new 1GB SanDisk miniSD. I personally have no problems with them. I have never used a PQI card but I have heard nothing but good things about them...may try to get one to compare with the SanDisk version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fincan Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 we are the only ones with the real sandisk ;) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think the problem is not with the SD cards but with the phones i/o handling. I have a Ridata 512mb mini-sd and it was skipping some songs with the cingular 1.03 firmware. After I updated to 1.25, it never happened again. It also didn't happen with the 1.33 chinese rom.

I suspect that they tightened something up in the firmware, so that it currently only works well with the faster cards. (possibly to conserve the battery?)

Guest drizze99 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 It still dosen't change the fact that SanDisk uses MLC flash chips. They created that chip! MLC chips can not withstand the wear & tear of SLC chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
