i just bought a transcend 8g class 6 card and when i tired to partition it with partition manager it told me i couldn't do it. said something about it not haveing a open port or something of that nature. I've reformated my card with 2 different pc's so i know the card is not corrupt. any suggestions?

got the card via newegg for about 23$.
[G1 Accessories] androidmonkey:
Ports have nothing to do with formatting or partitioning, are you sure it said open port? lol

What program are you using to partition?

What was the exact message?
[G1 Accessories] NeoBlade:
o_O Yeah ports have nothing to do with formatting unless you're using a USB Card reader where your usb port could be causing issues... Just disconnect all other non essential USB devices other than your card reader (if you're using an external one) and try again.

You could format the card in your mobile as well before attempting to add a partition.
[G1 Accessories] RegulatorG1:
sorry for not posting enough info on what it said. this is what the prompt tells me.

"a new partiton cannot be on this hard disk. most probably, all primary slots are occupied and there is no extended partition"

i'm using a free trail of partition manager btw.
[G1 Accessories] wywywywy:
In case it hasn't been mentioned, 7dayshop is doing 8GB class 6 for £10.99 delivered.
[G1 Accessories] RaiderX303:
you cant use the free version as it lets you make the changes but doesnt let you apply them, that error will be because it has an unformatted partition, not empty space

[G1 Accessories] mistawright:
if your using an sd card reader that is built into the comuter its probably not sdhc compatible. cards over 4 gb are considered high capacity cards and use a different memory controller.
[G1 Accessories] jklong03:
Anyone gotten this battery actually in their possession?
[G1 Accessories] NeoBlade:
Or just needs a nice driver update :P

Easiest way though is to invest in a SDHC card reader as they're pretty cheap to buy. However if you're talking about a MicroSD Card reader that came with the memory card which is USB, then Windows should recognise it.

You haven't really given us much information to work with but Vista and Windows 7 work fine for SDHC cards and XP should too.
[G1 Accessories] ttabbal:
Just to add to the knowledge here, I purchased an extended battery from ebay that I really like so far.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=250443371717

I chose it in part because of the case style. It doesn't have the stupid bump on the back, but does drop down for the camera and speaker on the back. It makes the phone a little wider, but nothing major. I actually prefer it as I have large hands and the stock size was a little too small for me. I still use the case/sleeve the phone came with, it fits a little tight, but not bad.

Battery life has more than doubled. Very nice. It even reported a 75% charge out of the box. Moderate use for about 4 hours drops it to about 90% on the phone meter, no idea if it's "calibrated" as I don't ever intentionally run my batteries till the phone dies. It might help the phone know what's left, but it's hard on Li-Ion batteries and doesn't do them any good like the old ni-cads, so I see no good reason to. After a few days use, it's about 30% at night when I plug it in. I do charge every night. Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G, etc. are all enabled. I don't have 3G coverage here yet, so I might disable that for now.
[G1 Accessories] rigamrts:
yeah i love this case about the best one on the market hands down all others pale in comparison. i bought one when they first came out damn thing was hard to get cause it sold out real fast. i think it still sells out real fast so get it before they disappear 30 bucks is well worth the price for this case

I'd say the Transcend one. Not too sure about A-Data's quality, in my opinion. Also, the Kingston is Class 2...if I am not mistaken.
[G1 Accessories] jigdagod:

[G1 Accessories] Maisum:
well the a data one has 7 reviews, all stating none for cons...

its 20 bucks cheaper, so i say go for that one

Just ordered the an 8gb a data one and got it in the mail in less than a week.

I just made 3 partitions on it: fat32, ext3, linux-swap without a hitch.

Works perfectly so far, no problems, quicker data transfer. Very reliable I would say
[G1 Accessories] nolimit78:
I'm using the A-Data 16GB Class 6 Micro SD and it's been pretty awesome for me. I bought the card thinking the same thing.. Working with 3 partitions Fat32/Ext3/Linux-Swap and with JAChero 2.61 and it's rockin muh face.

cheap and nice case

i actually found this case on amazon, but i recently bought it at my local flea market for $5. it may not be as nice as the body glove but its alot cheaper and less bulky. this is 3 pieces back, top(includes a nice lip) and a small piece to cover the bottom by the buttons. here is the link and its soooo cheap on amazon 36cents and 2.99 shipping so give it a try you wont be upset.

[G1 Accessories] -vip3r-:
i've already mentioned this battery before in this thread and in it's own thread but some mod..for some reason..merged it with this thread. i think that battery deserves it's own thread to create publicity and see real feedback for it..

the battery is stock size as someone has previously said and does work.. i'm still a bit skeptical but have been recently tempted to order it

i rocked the 8gb a-data class 6 for 2 months allll was good until a week ago. It burned out on me, now its not detected by any pc or my g1. I also did flash a new rom almost once a week =D

Help with sd

bought a adata 16gb class 6 sdcard. partitioned it and then ran the benchmark test. read speed goes to 7 mb/s and write is only upto 4 mb/s:confused:
[G1 Accessories] charnsingh_online:
wtf my class 6 is stuck at 4 mb write and 7 mb read through card reader
[G1 Accessories] androidmonkey:
Hmm, I wouldnt rely on those hdd benchmarks.

* Class 2: minimum sustained DTS of 2MB/sec

* Class 4: minimum sustained DTS of 4MB/sec

* Class 6: minimum sustained DTS of 6MB/sec

If you have a Class 4, its 4-5MBps.

Body Glove for G1

Anybody using this case? I was looking for a new Sdcard at Amazon and ran into this while searching. Seems pretty cool, I definitely like the clip doubling as a kick stand for the phone.
[G1 Accessories] martinx817x:
I have had this case fore probably about 5 months now. I love it. It does add some thcikness to the phone but also protects it. At first it feels like ur phone is similar to a basketball but you'll get used to it. I have dropped it numerous of times and each time the case took most of the falls. its worth the money!
[G1 Accessories] bizz3d:
I read in Amazon that a person with a G1 said he dropped it from about 3 feet and the case pop off and the phone when skidding on the ground. Damaging the shell and deep gouges on the corners. Lucky for him he had a good screen cover.

Have you experienced anything similar? What if any screen cover do you have on?

At Amazon i found an Invisible shield screen cover, Body Glove case and a 8gb class 6 card for under $40. Would this be a good buy?
[G1 Accessories] Janis:
I got one, but I don't use it that much

I just didn't like the bulk. I'm comming off an HTC Advantage x7501 as my primary phone, and the smaller form factor was part of why I got the G1. I got and InvisibleShield since I liked it on my old iPod, and after three years or so it's still on, after a couple of years of abuse from my now four-year-old.

Yeah, the kickstand is nice for, say, NightClock (I use Klaxon) and movie watching or on your desk, but it does't really stay put if your tapping it a lot. I wish I didn't have to have the bulk of the case for it - I plan to bend a large paper clip and make a desk stand (originally for iPhone, but it works).

It does its job protecting the phone. The thin clips scare me for how much I take it off and put it on (for camping trips, amusement parks, etc.) but if you plan to leave it in place, they'll hold for a year or longer, I'd bet. I also like the rubber. Easy to grip, doesn't slide around so much, but leaving the clip on the back takes a hunk of that benefit away.

I also didn't like how deep the screen was set in to the case. One of the things I really like about the newer screens in combination with gestures is the flat front. I hated the bezel on my Ipaq 3700, so any case wouldn't fit that for me, but this one is pretty deep.

Then there's the fact that my Ex had one for her phone....

Al in all, good. I don't have anything really negative to say except that it doesn't suit my preferences a lot of the time.
[G1 Accessories] darkphoenix2012:
What would be the best battery to use if I wanted to try and keep my plastic hard shell I got from Tmo? I may even be up for the idea of getting a bigger shell if they make them for the bigger back peices. :p
[G1 Accessories] dynamisoz:
for protection.....The BEST

I had this Body Glove ever since i had my G1..like the previous user said, it is bulkier than some case,,but not by alot. it has nice grip and protection.. I have dropped the g1 before but the case took all the impact. no scratches or anything like that. The case is on there tightly, so you would have to drop it really hard for the case to come off.

so i guess it all depends on your preference,,,, if your priority is protection look no further, but if it is minimal thickness,,,i know the seidio cases(http://store.androidcommunity.com/content/accessories/4-123--4971.htm) are pretty thin.(i actually want to try that too).
[G1 Accessories] DKYang:
I agree with everyone. It adds little bulkiness, but does its job. The only problem I had with it is that I forgot the clean the inside. Dust and other stuff sometimes will get into the case and then you would have to clean it apart or it will damage the case. As for me, something little made a small indent on my case and I was upset.

I'm not using it now since I've never dropped my phone when I took the case off. It does its job well.
[G1 Accessories] SoTacMatt:
That's all I use. Mine works great, no issues at all.

Mine is the HTC branded version, I believe it originally was for the Touch Pro.
[G1 Accessories] :
Hi, is there anyone in the UK that can suggest a good card to buy at a store (comet, currys, pc world ect)? I'm going away in a week so I'd like to bring some more music than 2GB, I was going to buy an a-data card, but I can only find them is on ebay and shipping is more than one week. So can someone suggest a 4 or 8GB class 6 suitable for etx2/3 and swap that I can buy at a store? thanks.
[G1 Accessories] steveruv:
ive had it for a few months now, does add a little bulk but does protect it.

i took the back part out and now its a little loose, doesnt snap and grab onto the back of the phone like it used to so I took it off. i wonder if it has one of them lifetime guarantees that I can send back to body glove, if not, oh well.
[G1 Accessories] isikh:
Looking for n 8 GB card...for the g1 of course lol..Price check

the best I found was this one 8 GB sixteen dollars shipped.. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1247950387&sr=1-14

Does anyone know of any other better deals, or are there an 16 GB 25 dollars or under?
[G1 Accessories] :
make sure u get class 6
[G1 Accessories] isikh:
oh really..why, may I ask..I am using Apps2Sd does it have to do with that? That card I posted was a class 2.

EDIT: Found this on newegg..http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 will this work?
[G1 Accessories] borodin1:
The one from newegg should do it. I did buy mine from Microcenter. They don't make any claims on their website regarding the speed (class) so I would not order it but if you have one in the area -drop by and check out their bulk/generic packages. I bought 8gb class 6 card in bulk packaging (read: bulk means not fancy, costs less) for $15 and that was back in October when G1s just came out.

Good luck
[G1 Accessories] isikh:
Okay, I'll buy from newegg =)
[G1 Accessories] yomamaster:
Good thin battery and case

Just wanted some opinions on a new battery and case:

1. I don't want those extended "thick" batteries, but I want one that beats the 1150 MAh of the original battery. Does such a thing exist and what are your experiences if you have one?

2. What's a good case? I had a plastic shell that went around it, but it literally made it super-thick and it felt clunky. I want a shell or case that's good for throwing in the pocket. I'm not a holster/clip user.

What's the word?

[G1 Accessories] wywywywy:
Remember the speed also differs with different card readers.

On my laptop's built-in card reader, its really slow.

But its at full speed if I use a Sandisk USB card reader.
[G1 Accessories] Yahrghrr:
1. There's a Seidio 1400MAh battery that you can purchase. I'm using one and it doesn't feel any heavier than the standard battery. There are 1600 and 1700 ones out there but I'm not convinced they're any better than the 1400.

2. The Seidio Innocase is probably the thinnest hardcase you can find out there. I've one but ditched it for the G1 InvisibleShield from Zagg. The Innocase is awesome but the cutout at the bottom makes charging so much more difficult when you have to pry open the plastic charging cap with fingernails. It's a good case though, I'm just nitpicking:D
[G1 Accessories] wiked1r:

Returned the G1 bc of battery life

Has anyone else returned thier G1 because of battery life? I could deal with the bugs, but I play with my phone a lot and I need it to last a whole day. Mine was unplugged at 7am and dead by 7pm.

Have the updates helped the battery at all?

Think any update will? My iphone had a few bad firmwares that really killed battery life. Luckily they fixed them.
[G1 Accessories] brooklynite:
I was stuck in traffic on Saturday around 5pm, my lovely G1 died when I tried to make a call (first all of the day after 1 hour of browsing since 10am unplugged) and I had to look for a public phone and drop in 50 cents to make a call as my wife was worried for over an hour. :mad:
[G1 Accessories] caleb12:
I notice that if I have the 3G turned on, and I'm in the bowels of some huge building (like at work)... where I barely get a 3G signal, the battery burns real fast - like a few hours... I turn the 3G off while at work, and the battery is fine, last all day 15 hours or so... and that is with me browsing, email, texting, occasional phone calls, etc... It seems that 3G really burns the battery if it can't maintain a solid connection...

Hope that helps...

[G1 Accessories] swarttsc:
I actually have that shell and it does work very well, I work inventory at my job so my phone gets banged around alot on boxes ect, so heres what I've discovered about it

Pro's

form fitting so it protects everything very well the shell is kind of raised up so when you bump it it hits the shell not the body

the shell snaps on with a solid firm click it hasn't shaken lose once since I bought it when the g1 launched and I've never had to re tighen or snap it back on

has a rotating belt clip so you can angle it however you want

rubberized texture helps with a better grip

the shell comes in 3 parts they all snap together and fit very well and firmly

Con's

the rubberized texture did flake off after getting bashed around a bit and it does show signs of wear

the belt clip although useful is still a cheap circular one with plastic teeth and not a physical metal clip

I think for what its worth the shell is definitly an awesome alternative to an actual pouch, I am a fan of holsters and not pouches for my phone and this definilty fits that bill a+ for durability c- for astetics and clip construction, but if your looking for a form fitting shell I definitly would recemond it...
[G1 Accessories] maxdamage2122:

How about the Kickstand feature.

Does it get in the way?

how does it fold up?

Can it be used in portrait and landscape positioning?

How is the durability of the stand when folded or open?

This is the main feature I am interested in. If the kickstand is cheap or bulky I would asum the protection is just as good as the ones on ebay for $10.

Thanks,
