[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zanthiud:
With all the 6.5 ROMs around, I'm just wondering what people are using and what they recommend.

I know you close 'what's the best rom' threads, so i'm just after what other people are using, or what they recommend.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pietje_1985:
Just try

I think it's better for you to try it yourself...

Just flash a ROM you might think it's great...read the replys in the Thread what people think about the ROM..

If everybody is starting a Thread like this, than this whole Forum would be endless.....

Good luck fella:cool:

Are many of the applications used in xperia able to be used in touch pro 2 too?

Has anyone found a way to have xperia panels on the touch pro 2 yet, besides hd??
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Obviously, I mean probably not yet...but obviously they will.....it's a gaurantee.
[XPERIA X1 General] sonus:
It is definitely possible, however I feel that the majority of XDA is more interested in porting HTC software than SE software or any other manufacturer's (i.e. Samsung, Asus, LG, Garmin, etc.) software for that matter. This is kind of unfortunate XDA would be an even more interesting place if cookers cooked more diverse ROMs using bits and peices from other oems as well.

i´ve got the same problem with my german touch pro 2.

your tutorial doesn´t work for me. if i press menu it is going into incoming mails of the account.

any help??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sicone:
if you press the 'x' after it goes into the account and do it all again, the email account you last opened will be highlighted and you will be able to delete it then

I noticed a bug with the email a few days ago. When i hit send and receive it says downloading 1/1001 and freezes for a while.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djkasmic:
i don´t know why, but now i can tap&hold on the account and delete it.

maybe i had first to donwload my emails... thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p_shep:
I'm having problems with this... I have an account which isn't working, it won't synchronise (inbox empty) and it would let me delete the account. 'Delete' is grayed out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] myrandex:
p_shep, it will be grayed out if it is an exchange account, as it has to be deleted from another spot in the system. Are you using an exchange email account?

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p_shep:
Nope, it's a Yahoo account :-/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p_shep:
It's like a point a click adventure game this...

Found out how to delete accounts:

FRom emails page

Menu -> accounts -> acounts -> menu -> tools -> options

(basically get to the email options page where the tabs 'accounts', 'message', 'address' and 'storage' are shown along the bottom)

Check the box 'display account picker when opening messaging'

Then click:

Menu -> accounts -> accounts

The account picker should be shown

Highlight the relevent account, and it's just menu -> delete.

What a mess. They don't make it easy do they?

im trying to upload photos for my guide to take apart the excalibur and im trying to use photobucket (i want to embed them throughout the post). when i enter the code and hit preview all i see is the code, can anyone help me with this?

by the way i have 42 lovely photos for you guys!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
OK right click on the image in photobucket and click properties copy the location, open up a box in XDA press the square picture image and enter location.

Here is a temp that you could use if not showing correct

Put link in middle and remove the *'s

Also make sure your pics are public "i use flickr so not sure of the options on photobucket"

Oh and you will probably want to use GIMP\Photoshop to put images together as only 4 x image locations per post :)

I finally got the R3 firmware. Almost. Well my SEUS says I'm about to update my R2 with R3 here in the Philippines and It downloaded the thing for about an hour while in service mode. Afterwhich it failed to install due to battery "not full" error. Cut the story short, I got stuck in service mode. Does the battery charge while I'm plugged at wall outlet? Any expert opinion?

Hi, I have been searching on the forum in search of some information on MicroSD cards and came to no avail.

With my HD, it came with a 8GB Class 6 MicroSDHC. I think it needed it to play videos. I can't imagine using it with a slower card.

Now, my TP2 will arrive Monday and I would like to know the following:

1. Brand

2. Size

3. Speed (class)

4. Price

Is it performing well with the video playbacks or have you installed the SD Tuner software available for the HD?

What do you recommend?

Many, many thanks for any replies, comments and help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xavalon:
Bought a A-Data microSD class 6, 4 GB at a local computer store.

Not the one i was looking for, i wanted the 8GB or 16GB but both where not in stock and the 4GB was less then 10 euros. I will buy a larger one in a few months.

With class 6 my phone isn't slowed down. A few years ago i bought a 2GB mini-SD, but my HTC Vox was slowed down very much. Didn't look to the class/or speed back then.

MicroSD cards based on SLC might be beter them MLC. IMHO i would always take a class 6 or higher card. However class 8 cards are hard to find.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stunno:
I'm using the 8GB Class 4 card that came with my daughter's Nokia 5800 and it seems fine. Just watched an xdiv episode of Only Fools and Horses on it with no stutter or dropped frames.

I bought a class 6 off Ebay and it should be here on Monday so I can compare then

i'm using sandisk 8g class 2. whatched movies and played music, everything is fine. It only cost me just under tenner.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] s1rl4ncel0t:
The performance diference between a class 2 or a class 6 is not that noticeable. However, at the price the cards are, I think it worths always to buy a class 6 card.

I bought a Transcend 8GB class 6 card. It cost me aprox. 20€.

The biggest differences I noticed between a class 2 and 6 card are:

-Taking photos is faster with class 6

-Browsing photos in sdcard is a bit faster also

-Viewing movies sometimes is a bit more smooth.

HastaSSSS :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bxsteez:
I have a 16GB class 2 Sandisk. I watch movies just fine. I figure with a class 6 i might be able to watch HD videos more smoothly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Hi guys,

Thanks for all your replies. So from what you guys are telling me, it is always better to pay that little extra for the class 6 MicroSDs. But then again, is it worth investing in a 16GB Class 4 (no Class 6 available except the brand A-Data) or an 8GB Class 6.

16GB is nearly 4 times more expensive than the 8GB and yet it is slower. Shall I just get 2 8GB and hot swap the 2 cards as need be?

Yeah, please let us know if it makes that much of a difference.

I have read about this brand, and what others said was that their Class 6 under performs Sandisk's Class 4 Cards. Do yo notice any differences? How is the performance?

Also, I wouldn't recommend buying these cards off eBay. There are so many, fake cards on there. I know so, because I know mates that sell these cards. I would just buy from a genuine local store and pay a little bit more unless you don't care about performance.

Anyway, my last question.

What brand do you think has the best performance. Yeah, we can find out all the data about these cards on the web but it's nothing like the hands on tests from real users. So, will it be Sandisk, Transend, Toshiba, Kingston or the later A-Data?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Found a pretty review on the Sandisk 16GB C4 MicroSDHC cards. They compared it to the Kingston 8GB C4 MicroSDHC card.

Sandisk seems to be the company that is producing the fastest cards. It out performs Kingston.

But $133, is a bit steep. I think if I am correct a Sandisk 8GB C6 MicroSDHC is only $49.

What do you think?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicelad_uk:
You won't notice much difference between class 2 and class 6 as the device can only read at a certain speed, which is nearer class 4.

There are some cheap class 2 16gb cards out there, I have them and you only really notice if you install something like sdtuneup, but then again, you wouldn't notice much difference between class4 and class6
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Peet73:
SanDisk microSDHC 16 GB Mobile Ultra works fine!

With the enclosed reader it is really fast via USB.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] evojulz:
Cheers for the heads up about the TP2's read speed.

I was going to go for a 16GB class 2 but now might hold out for a class 4.

Haven't noticed any speed difference between my 8GB class 4 and 6 cards except that it's possibly slower than my Trinity :eek: but that may be due to the crummy TP2 stock ROM...

Please don't get two 8GB's, you will ruin the back cover of the device swapping the cards over all the time ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ajbopp:
My understanding is that the Class affects write speed, not read speed, so you won't see a difference playing movies on one or the other. You will see a difference in the amount of time it takes to get the movie onto the card (providing you aren't using ActiveSync, which will slow things down way beyond Class2 speeds).

I have a SanDisk Class 2 16 GB card on my Vogue and watch movies just fine with CorePlayer. Maybe a brief stutter once every 5 minutes or so, which I attribute to WinMo doing some other task in the background, not the read speed of the card.

In short, if it doesn't matter to you how long it takes to transfer large files onto the card, go with the least expensive.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Really? How much slower?

Yeah, I think I will go for 16GB for sure. The only thing now is what class. I am hearing 2 things here. I am worried about stutters on watching movies.

Some are saying speed only matters to write and not read.

But then I have read that it does matter, that is why there is a SDTuneUp for the HD.

I really don't want to buy a cheaper Class 2 card and only finding it is not working to my standards. I am pretty fussy about these things.

Any of you needed to install the SDTuneUp registry edit for the TP2? Do we need it? Anyone did any tests?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ajbopp:
Check this out.

And this.

Class rating only refers to write speed, even though on the official SD association page it says "transfer speed." What they don't say is that it's transfer speed only one direction.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Hello ajbopp,

Thanks for your additional information. I think not a lot of people actually realise this. I always thought the Class Rating was how you determine transfer speed and not just write speed.

But there must be some ratings for Reading. Some cards are faster than others and that will certainly affect the rate of requiring information from the card, right? Because files are written in blocks and are distributed everywhere (fragmentation), so if the card is faster, then finding the blocks will be quicker, hence a better performance for reading movie files.

Just thinking logically how computer hard disk works. Not sure if that applies to SDHC cards. I also think the speed is also determined by the drive (the hardware reading/writing on the card).

There aren't many information on this. I have been searching around and most information I found was given by the companies that made these cards. Real tests are few and far between. Most websites I visited, tells me only of the write speed as I think that is what is most important to people who uses these cards, such as Photo Fanatics who needs speed for taking high end photos very quickly and for taking HD videos at 30fps. There is less need to know about read speed.

It's so confusing...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Got it yesterday. Thanks for all your help guys!

I finally went for the Transcend 8GB Class 6 Micro SDHC. Cost of only $187 HKD, roughly $23 USD. Didn't end up getting the 16GB as they didn't have any in stock and it costs 3 times the amount.

Without any tests, I just loaded my movies and it played very well. No dropped frames. No tweaks whatsoever.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Deiota:
Hello!

I had a TP with a Micro SD 8GB Class 2 card.

I'm considering buying a new one (lack of space available) and I wonder if I should consider a class 4 or 6...

I use the MicroSD to store software, pictures (camera), music (to listen), and some videos (to watch).

I don't intend to remove the microsd from the TP2 slot (have to remove the cover) so what I usually do is to connect via USB cable (data instead of AS).

So, transfering data like this will I notice difference with Class 2, 4 or 6?

I'd get a good price with this:

http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-SDC2-16GB-microSDHC/dp/B001RPD06I

is it good enough or should I buy a Sandisk or perhaps a Class 4 or 6?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doktor_ppc:
SanDisk and Kingston are both good manufactures.

Class 4 is faster than class 2 and class 6 is faster than class 4.

But on the other hand: class 4 cards need more power consumption than class 2 cards and class 6 cards need power consumption than class 4.

For this reason I bought 1 x 16gb class 4. That is the compromise of speed and power.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ajbopp:
Again, this is only for write speed. I think it's an important distinction to make, especially if you are hoping for better video playback because of a faster card. The class of the card is not likely to have any impact on the device's performance, either video or anything else (other than file saving/writing operations).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Deiota:
so... for my kinda use there is no need for a class 6 right?

do you think a class 2 kingston MicroSD 16GB can be used for what I want?

playback music and some video... storage ... navigation?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ajbopp:
That's what I use on my Vogue and music and movie playback is flawless, and that is with a much slower processor.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doktor_ppc:
I make it short: yes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jdantuma:
If got a problem, I don't know if it is my phone or the SDcard, but every other time the card is recognized. Then I get it out, put it back in, and it works fine again. After while it won't work anymore. And I proceed from the beginning again.

Is this the card or the phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] beast0898:
Most likely the card is file system is corrupt.

back up your files from the card, do a complete format (not a quick format) of the card, copy the data baack on and that should resolve the issue. If it does not then it sounds as though the card is failing. Normally if there are read errors on the card, it will not resume from standby thus the card dissappears untill it is re-inserted. You may find that some files can not be recovered from the card.

Cheers,

Beasty
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RogerStenning:
Oh, joy. I had this happen today, dammit. 16 gig card, and THIS is happening when it's not even two weeks old? Not amused. Just as well I backed up the blasted card two days ago.

Update:

Beasty - Good advice - thanks. Re-formatted and copied across the backup I made two days ago, no problems, recognised instantly when inserted into the TP2.

Question - how the hell can the file structure on a card become so burgered?

i have Kensington 16GB calss 6.. works great for only pennies more then a slower class. Bought from New Egg.com..

as far as ebay goes... i HIGHLY recomend NOT purchasing such items from there.. most of the chips and other electronics are all bootleg versions...

4gb chips somehow hacked into 6gb or 8gb... in my computer and in file explorer, it SHOWED 8gb available.. but is unable to read or write past the TRUE gb amount... worst case i saw was smaller chips where the lable was torn off and a new higher lable printed on...the amount of $ you save on ebay is not worth the risk of china produced or grey market goods... i learned my lesson when i bought a ds-970 a couple years back...i always wondered by it would keep dropping the connection, freezing up... anyways with a little research and comparisons it turned out i got a bootleg ds-970.. it looked almost perfect.. i never would have known.. anyways.. i got my paypal money back, reported them etc etc ... and that was the last time i ever bought off ebay...the items look perfect, but its junk inside.

and i thought that the only items that could be bootlegged was jeans, bags and dvds....

so beware purchasing chips and other electronic goods from ebay as alot are ripoffs.

Trust me, i know first hand..im not only a former ebay user...

Im also a bootlegger

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gizhola:
I'm running the same and I bought it from WalMart as well. It's a Class2 card. If you look closely at it just below the center of the card, you'll see a "C" with a 2 inside of it. That indicates the class number.

music glitchy

Just thought I'd chip in...

I *just* got an AT&T Tilt2 and went out and got a new 4GB Sandisk microSD card. Now, when using the TouchFlow 3d music player to play an mp3 from the SD card, it pauses/glitches every 20-40seconds or so. Very annoying.

Based on what I've been reading in this thread, I'm pretty certain i have a C2 card and will need to upgrade to a C4 or C6 to get rid of the random glitches.

Also, since some of you indicate that class rating is for write speeds only, I'll need to pay special attention to make sure the read-speed of the future card i get is much better than the one i have.

I'll start searching for a better card on newegg or somewhere...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ajbopp:
I haven't read the entire thread, but a C2 is adequate for playing music or movies. If you are experiencing hesitation or skipping in playback, the issue is elsewhere.

FYI, the rating is only for write speeds, not read speeds, so upgrading to a higher class will have no effect on playback performance.

I would be very interested in seeing a link to this. I have heard that Samsung may be coming out with one in February, but I haven't heard of anything actually being on the market yet.

32 GB has always been the upper limit of the specification, and any device that supports a 16 GB microSD will support 32 as long as it adheres to the standards that were developed a few years ago.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dwboston:
There are no 32 GB microSDHC cards on the market yet. There was a story on Engadget a few days ago that Samsung will begin mass production of the 32 GB cards in February.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ajbopp:
Class only refers to the write speed of the card, not read speed. since watching movies only reads from the card, there is no difference in performance between class 2 and class 6.
