Guest GB-UK Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Been looking throught the forum as I'm sure I read it somewhere but cannot find it now, but what is the max size of memory card that can be put in the pulse? I'm sure it was 8GB but have also read that it can take a 16GB card, is this true before I rush out and buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that class6 cards only go up to 8gb...with slower cards you risk apps2sd not working properly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shuflie Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think that class6 cards only go up to 8gb...with slower cards you risk apps2sd not working properly... Why would a2sd not work with slower cards? surely its just being treated as a linux harddrive for program storage, its not for using as RAM.

I'm using a 6G microsd that I got when the Kaiser came out which I'm pretty sure is a class 2 card without too many problems, I do get the occasional problem with installing programs but a reboot normally fixes that. I have a 512MB EXT4 partition for A2SD to work from which might help I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GB-UK Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 So does anyone know if a 16GB card will work in the pulse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bas-r Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 So does anyone know if a 16GB card will work in the pulse? I can confirm that a 16gb sd card works fine in the Pulse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bas-r Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) with slower cards you risk apps2sd not working properly... This is nonsens: yes, class 2 cards are slower writing, but are virtually as fast when it comes to reading, and that's the most important when you're running an app from it. Class 6 cards are only useful when you're using a photo camera and want to quickly shoot lots of pictures: slower cards cannot keep up with the speed. I have used class 6 cards and am now using a 16gb class 2 card, and no there is no difference in the speed the apps work.

Class 6 cards are only useful when you're using a photo camera and want to shoot lots of pictures in a row: slower cards cannot keep up with the speed. I have used class 6 cards and am now using a 16gb class 2 card, and no there is no difference in the speed the apps work. I'm another happy 16gb class 2 user.

Guest Jan M Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I wonder what this warning is about if there's no issues... This is not recommended if using less than a Class 4 SD card, as it may randomly eject and cause all sorts of issues. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Apps2SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petermgates Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I've been running a cheap PNY 16GB class 2 for a week now. A couple of times I haven't been able to install apps but this is fixed by repairing the ext2 partition (using the Amon-Ra bootloader). There haven't been any issues with running apps at all though - once they're on, they run perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only speak for myself when I say I have had no issues with my 16gb class 2 card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
