When I got the phone I replaced the 2 gig sd card came with the phone with my old 8 gig sandisk class 2 card that I was using with my G1. I realized immediately that phone slowed down on sd access so whatever you get make sure you get at least class 6.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Same except I moved the Avatar movie files to the previous SD Card and formatted it to be 100% FAT32. 8GB Class 6 card

@PathogenX: You forgot to include the Shipping & Handling and possibly taxes (varies between different states).

Transcend 8GB Class 6: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 -- Good offer; been using this for a LONG time on my G1 and now Vibrant. And 32GB Class 6 (if there are even such thing) isn't even worth it. 32GB in general wouldn't be worth it considering the price gaps as I mentioned previously. Newegg for most states doesn't take sales tax so thats also a plus. Browse around Newegg if you're looking for a 16GB, they usually have the lowest prices for SD cards.
[Vibrant General] down8:
I don't think you should be talked out of getting 32GB, if you want it.

I'm saving the $100 b/c I don't have an immediate need. I have the above Transcend 8GB C6 card, and it's great: 8mb write, 11mb read.

[Vibrant General] DLarva:
The reason why I want 32gb is that I want to carry my entire music collection with me, which is well north of 20 already and I wasn't room to grow plus store apps, videos, pics, etc.

Problem is it is hard to find 32gb cards out there. I've seen a few on amazon, but class 4 seems the best available. I was wondering if that's good enough or if I should keep looking.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Apps have its own dedicated storage (2GB) out of the 16GB so really you have..

14GB + Whatever the size of your SD card will be. Keep in mind that the "classes" play a huge role. I mean honestly.. is all of that stuff necessary to have on your phone?

You can have the pictures on your Facebook, Photobucket, etc.. basically cloud and they don't take a lot of space at all (unless they're taken with a $2000 camera and non-compressed). Videos, you would only keep what you want to watch and not always just leave it there.

I still love my Vibrant but I rather have a dedicated music player for my music, and thats what my iPod is for.
[Vibrant General] rjwisniewski:
I hear ya. I formatted my 16 gig card from my now retired HD2 so I could test the music player before buying a bigger card. So far, I'm impressed. I actually prefer the mp3 player on the Vibrant to my ipod.

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using the XDA app.
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
I would simply prefer to have only one device and not carry more. Everyone does things differently, to each there own.

Apparently though, finding a 32gb card of class 6 or above is near impossible. So it seems I either need to wait a while or come up with some scheme to get by with less.
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
Verizon sells a 32Gb for $99 if you dont trust Amazon's sellers or off brands

[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Why is everyone trying to talk him out of getting a 32gig card? Its his money let him spend it how he wants too.

I haven't seen any class 6 32gig cards, 32gig cards are still fairly new. I have a class 2 16gig card from my HD2 and I use it just for music and movies. It work fine takes a sec or two too load the music. I think a class 4 would be ok if you are just using it for music.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Because we're "trying" to help him out to make him spend his money on things that could be more beneficial to him?

If somebody asked for advice on a new computer for gaming and he specifically wanted a laptop for highend competitive gaming, would your logic of "oh its his money, let him spend it the way he wants to" work? No. people would try to talk him out of it because thinking rationally, it doesn't make much sense. Is there a use of 32GB? yes. If he got a 16GB card that would be 30GB already. If he got a 32GB card he wouldn't have to be worried too much about always replacing things on his SD card It has its pros and cons, but the cons definitely outweigh the pros. Because I know for me when I watch a movie, after I'm finished.. I'm never going to watch it again... at least not for a while and thats just not worth keeping it on your SD card or phone's internal.

Throughout time, SD cards will be cheaper and cheaper because of data inflation anyway.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
A 32gig card is not going to ruin his phone. A 32gig card serves a purpose for him and is cheaper and easier than getting a second mp3 player.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
I never said a 32GB card was going to ruin his phone at all. You know that there are other ways of getting music played on the Vibrant right? There are MANY alternatives such as Pandora, Slacker, Last FM, Cloud Sync, and more.

All which take a lot less room than storing a bunch of songs on your SD card.

Not to mention but with that much music on a SD card. Android lacks a syncing program to sync music and keep everything organized. I know HTC is working on that but it will most likely be limited to HTC devices only.

And really.. if you're going to have 32GB of music, you're not ever going to listen to every single one of them. It's not necessary. And I rather watch movies on a bigger screen than the Vibrant, if im on a road trip or something of that sort.. it'll make sense but if im not, I'm not going to leave movies on my phone. If i do, I'll watch and get rid of it and put it back on when I plan to watch it.

Be glad that Samsung even provided the 16GB (14GB space; 2GB apps) otherwise you wouldn't even have that to work with. I know you'll probably bring up the area on battery usage with the phone using all that power on 3G and streaming and whatever. But every phone has its limitations, a phone is not a computer.. it cannot do everything that you want it to do.

Also it doesn't matter if its "cheaper" because in the end, he's paying more for his money. I just don't understand why you don't want people pointing out the other options that are available for him aside from his desired method.
[Vibrant General] metalfan78:
You should just get the 32 gb card. I got mine from verizon for 100 bucks put all my music on it, ditched the ipod and never looked back.
[Vibrant General] PhilSlater:
What is your point? The OP wants HIS music. And maybe the OP will be somewhere he can't stream over the network, it happens, you know.

Finally you start to get real when you say "I". What you say is about YOU. Not about the OP. But your needs are not his. I am with the OP, I want to carry all my music collection with me, and I'm not going to explain why to someone who can't even tell the difference between their own wants and someone else's. And my collection fits on a 160GB iPod, but not on an 80GB so I have to pick and choose when I use a smaller device. I want to know about 64GB cards, and 128GB cards, eventually.

He didn't ASK for your opinion on alternatives, he said he wants to carry HIS music collection with him. Go ahead on point out alternatives, but stop acting like your viewpoint is the only valid one--it isn't. And if you want to start a new topic on how anyone who disagrees with you is wrong, go ahead, but stop polluting this topic.

As for my advice for the OP, go for the 32GB card, get the faster one.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
First off, I never said or acted upon that my viewpoint is the only "valid" way. There is no such thing because there are many ways of doing the same thing.

It's not justifiable to make a NEW thread continuing from a previous thread, thats what responses are for. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and debates/arguments will rise upon that. I'm not going to be ridiculed by you because I'm simply stating what I feel about 32GB sd cards.

If you don't like arguments then maybe you shouldn't read forums because that is exactly what forums are all about its a place where people join together and state their opinions about things.

And what is this so-called "opinion on alternatives" since when did alternatives become opinions? All I simply did "think out the box" and stated my personal experiences using them. Sorry if this offends you!

And your advice doesn't even fall into what the OP is asking for. The OP is asking for brand names and places to get 32GB cards... not whether if I should get a 32GB SD card. And I pretty much gave him the answer to what he was looking for in the second post with Blueman101 providing a direct link to what I was talking about.

Oh and before you try to say I'm contradicting myself, I'm a person that likes stating the other options that he is able to choose from.

I'm not deciding on what he should do and what he shouldn't do... thats for him to decide.

Edit: Just noticed that you said "HIS" music. Have you even tried Last FM, Pandora, or Slacker? they're pretty much online radio stations that YOU can customize and they have a lot of the music that you have already. Based on what you listen to, they contribute to your radio and you can expand your music choices. It plays songs that it might think you will like, it is absolutely fantastic technology. If all you want to do is listen to YOUR MUSIC ONLY, then i seriously doubt that because people who listen to music will always want more and more music to listen to.

Not to mention, you have ABSOLUTE full control over it. If you don't like it, you can press skip or I think theres a button in there that says to never play this again (thumbs up and thumbs down).. after a while, the system will start to know what kind of music you're into and overall its just a good experience.

P.S. welcome to xda PhilSlater ;)

Also-- this thread isn't all about the OP, there could be other people on the forum who found the topic name "SDHC" to be interesting and looking to make a purchase on a SDHC card and I'm pretty positive that they appreciated the other choices on SDHC cards.
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
I have a high end competitive gaming laptop, or was a year ago. Probably the best money I have ever invested. Bad analogy.

I could go in to a whole debate to prove my point about laptops>computers, but that would be a different topic and forum haha. So I won't reply to any more posts about it on this topic/forum.

But, would I be okay with a 8 gig class 6? I don't really want to use this phone as an mp3 player or media hub, just to play games(ps1, n64, gba) and be a smart phone.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
It was originally, "where can i download European ROMs for my vibrant" but I changed that. But yeah you're right, highend gaming laptops are there but most competitive players (tournament play, CEVO, WCG, etc) don't play on laptops for gaming. Kind of like competitive players (professionals) using wireless mouses.

Just that you can get a lot more out of your system by just building a computer with parts rather than waiting for a manufacturer to build your system and you're unable to do any upgrades by yourself.

@But, would I be okay with a 8 gig class 6? I don't really want to use this phone as an mp3 player or media hub, just to play games(ps1, n64, gba) and be a smart phone.

And yeah.. it would be fine, ROMs for PS1 are about ~700MB per disc. The transcend one that I posted is a pretty good price, Class 6 as well. If you're going to store a lot of ROMs, I'd go with a 16GB or just buy multiple 8GB sd cards. You could also store them on the Samsung's 16GB that pre-exists (14GB since 2GB are used towards apps)
[Vibrant General] chronos7:
Hey, we're all friends here! One person is just trying to save the guy some money, but each to his own! This guy may have plenty of money and since he made the money he can spend as he likes. Just my opinion.
[Vibrant General] rjwisniewski:
Exactly. To each their own. Before I got the Vibrant I really liked having my music on a separate player like an iPod, but now that I've had it I installed my left over 16 gb card from my HD2 and filled that with music and I just don't see the need to carry two devices. If I want to go for a run and use the GPS on my Vibrant to track the run and turn on my music from my microSD card I can and I don't have a need for two devices. It's just a matter of choice. I say go for it, I like it so far. It fits my need.
[Vibrant General] sackofnoise:
So, would a 32gb kingston class 2 card ok to play 720p videos? (anyone tested it, any lags)? or will it only be way way long to transfer movies on the device? What about applications, anyone had issues with 32gb class 2?

Thank you
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
"And really.. if you're going to have 32GB of music, you're not ever going to listen to every single one of them. It's not necessary. "

Ugh, I always hate this argument. If this were the case, everyone would be carrying around 512 MB MP3 players instead of these players with huge capacities. Listen, some of us have a ton of music and want it all with us. I have something like 40 gigs of music, and yeah, I want the whole thing with me. I want a complete portable jukebox, not something that I have to constantly sync and update depending on my mood.
[Vibrant General] Homestar1217:
I used the 16GB Class 2 from my HD2 and it plays my 720p Top Gear episodes just fine off the card. takes about 3 seconds to load, 3 more seconds if you move the slider to a different part of the show. Not bad at all. It does take a bit to transfer large files, but seeing as you have a 4GB limit thanks to wonderful FAT, you should never be sitting for more than 10 minutes transferring stuff.
[Vibrant General] Apexsilverevo:
I too find this an interesting topic as I would love to carry around a decent library of videos more then music. I have played around with bitrates to keep movie file sizes down but I would like a little more space to put a bigger collection on my phone. You never know when you wanna watch something different. So the consensus is that a 16gb class 4 card is plenty fast for high quality video? Thanks
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
The 2g card that came with the vibrant is a class 4, and I have no problem playing .avi with 1200 kbps bitrate off of it. Bitrates higher than 1500 kbps is a waste on a 4 inch screen, keep the bitrate low to save battery. ;)
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
lol i cant believe people on xda they argue about everything all the way down to micro sd cards lol well i would say the best and cheapest place to get your card from is www.newegg.com i got my 16gb class 6 card from there a little over a year ago and i only paid like $55 when almost everywhere was selling class 2 16gb for $100+ so to answer the op's question i would say go to newegg and get your card as for faster than class 4 im not sure if there are any yet but check it out tell us what you find. and make sure our phones can handle 32gb cards
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
How do guys think it will be? I think it has to be a super phone since it looks like it has a front facing camera, and because it looks like t-mobile's first HSPA+ phone, and I read online that the first HSPA+ phone will have a 1ghz processor of the 3rd generation. I know this phone might not be real, but if it is, and has killer specs would you get it? I think I'll get it if it dosen't have a physical keyboard, and i woukd get it in white.Any opinions on it?

[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
I know, and I hope it's real lol, main reason why I want the mytouch phones is because its tmobile's flagship phone, and you can make them 100 % you lol. Plus I want a super smart phone with no keyboard I got the slide, until a better mytouch without a keyboard and with killer specs comes out, plus makes sense it might be tmos first HSPA+ phone it is their flagship device :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] GeekBrat:
It's weird.. I bought the slide because it had a KB. I like a phone with a hardware keyboard. If the MTHD doesn't have one I'll have to find a new device :(.....
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
I think it won't its too thin to have one,plus they might do a keyboardless mytouch then one with a keyboard, and continue that trend or maybe not, but personally I don't want a physical keyboard, especially for the fact that cases look better.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Showtime7:
I wouldn't get this or any other MyTouch device for that matter. I got the slide because it was the newest Android device with a physical keyboard T-mobile had to offer. But I was disappointed, build quality is horrible and I can't believe HTC actually made this (seems more Tmobile than HTC influence). Feels like a cheap toy cell phone, and has no grip whatsoever. My next device will be whenever Tmobile decides to get a real HTC device with a keyboard, maybe the rumored HTC Vision? Was about to go for the Vibrant but I heard build quality isn't so good on that either, and it has GPS issues. So I guess I will wait. I have another year on contract and then I'm free to jump over to another carrier. AT&T and Verizon not looking too bad about now.

But anyway, if this device is what's next from T-Mobile, then I'm not interested. Looks like a slide that got sat on and stretched vertically. Still cheap looking, trackball is flat and isn't easy to use, and it just looks like a fail waiting to happen.

Having said all of that, this is my first Android device so anything is better than what I was experiencing with Windows... The HD2 was the greatest device HTC built for Windows IMO, and it was still lacking. It finally proved that even with great specs, a Windows phone is a Windows phone and will always give you the same problems.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
I wish i new about this before, i would have waited for it instead...But i guess this sort of thing is inevitable these days...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
I had MSN/AIM/Yahoo Instant Messaging on my Samsung Epix, anyone know how to get this on the TouchPro2/Tilt2?

I read it's on "Window's Live" ...tried it on the phone...w/it being pre-installed...but still couldn't access instant messaging, only synced e-mail.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] iNcRiMiNaTi:
I was having this issue as well. I think the one that comes preloaded with the phone is only hotmail. You can go to the Marketplace and download the Windows Live from there which has the messenger, email, etc.

Certain roms come with the downloadable version as well if you ever decide to flash
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
I'll have to grab it Market Place.

Thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
You have to install Market Place, right?

I went to it on the phone, and it asks if I want to install it...just double checking.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] iNcRiMiNaTi:
Np and yeah the marketplace has to be installed before you can use it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
Thanks

Found it here too: http://www.windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/messenger/default.aspx#
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Palringo (burned into the Energy ROM) works really well on the TP2. I don't use MSN personally, but its included. I use Palringo with Google Chat, and it works great.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
Cool! Found it! It has AIM and Yahoo Messenger too, if anyone was interested.

It wouldn't let me upload the file, so here's the link: http://www.palringo.com/en/gb/

Added the Windows Live CAB that has Messenger. On the Today Screen you can have Bing, Hotmail, and Messenger. If you don't want the Hotmail you just uncheck the "sync E-mail" box.

Download this app from market, start it, it ALWAYS locks on immediately, then start google navigation. No workarounds, no fiddling with gps settings, no cursing samsung, no sh*t!
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Really? Straight from the market quote:

"AT&T Mark the Spot is an application that provides customers a means to provide feedback on network user experience on AT&T"

How does this affect GPS?
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
It sends AT&T information on signal strength, etc. as well as your GPS location, so they can fine tune connectivity issues in that area. So it does have to do with GPS stuff. I suppose it's possible that it fixes the GPS stuff too, temporarily. Anyone else want to test and verify?
[Captivate General] rileyh1278:
I installed the AT&T app and tried it and it worked! I haven't been able to get a GPS lock inside my house since I bought this thing, but I got one sitting in my office here in about 10 seconds. Launched the AT&T app first, then went to Maps and it popped right up. Until Samsung/AT&T can push a fix, I think this will work as a good work-around. Thanks!
