here's my journey to 32GB. I checked http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/con...w.kingston.com&ktcpartno=SDC4/32GB&referid=28 to see what's available for the U.S. Amazon.com, buy.com and newegg.com are the only 3 authorized online retail store from their website. I've checked all three sites but only newegg has the picture of the retail package. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Image... 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model SDC4/32GBSP I've heard stories of fake cards from ebay so I looked for auctions with pictures of packaging that look exactly like the ones on newegg. I bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...uxZsJWI%3D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT and paid right away. I informed the seller that if the card is fake I would report him to ebay, paypal, and the local authorities for fraud. He wasn't too happy about that and offered to refund my money right way. I told him that I will try it out if he's so sure that it's legit.

Since the seller lives with in 2 delivery days from me I was expecting the package within 3 days. 4 days went by with no card. I contacted him regarding my card. He told me that he didn't have the card yet because they haven't came in from the supplier and wanted me to wait for a few days for the card. I told him to refund my money right away. I almost reported him to ebay for selling out of stock. ebay has a strict policy against selling out of stock products.

After that whole incident, I contemplated on whether getting the sandisk or kingston. I finally decided on SanDisk due it is superior performance and compatibility. This time I went after a packaging that I know for sure that hasn't been faked before, a retail SanDisk 32GB Micro SDHC from either AT&T http://cgi.ebay.com/SANDISK-32-GB-M...955808?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf3edb2e0 or Verizon http://cgi.ebay.com/Sandisk-32GB-Mi...040255?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c56654c3f. While scouring for 32gb microsd cards i came across a newly posted AT&T 32GB MicroSD retail package http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...uxZsJWI%3D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT for $69.99 It's the cheapest AT&T branded card for "buy it now" I snatched it right away and paid right away. It was delivered a day early. I opened the package and tested with H2testw.exe right away. The test result is as followed

Test finished without errors.

You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.

Writing speed: 5.47 MByte/s

Reading speed: 14.8 MByte/s

H2testw v1.4

Overall, it is really a class 4 card but rated at class 2. In the end, I'm glad that I bought the AT&T branded SanDisk 32GB card. Sure I can gamble with a $40-$50 card but I would rather pay $20-$30 more to guarantee a genuine 32GB card.

[General Accessories] skoop99:
Yup, I have the same card... It's a steaming pile of fake crap... And eBay won't let me open a dispute for it! Don't ask why - long story...
[General Accessories] samson_420:
Wow. . . . . I have 2 of these. . . .

Real counterfeit scams are very big now. . . . . .

It sucks, but you can only buy stuff like this from true trusted sources now.

The last one I ordered they sent me a cheap looking fake silver bracelet in the package. No way to dispute it either since I will be required to ship it back and shipping will cost as much as I paid for the POS. Since these ass wipes are in China.
[General Accessories] ultrasuper:
Sandisk is the one.

I feel bad for you guys that had troubles and got screwed with fakes.

I was almost taken by a kingston fake- in fact I made an offer to a seller for a pair of them. Thankfully, the seller wanted more, and I decided not to pursue.

If I could figure out how to thank "cproaudio", I would.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9951908&postcount=30

(figured it out- button was NOT initially there when looking at the post in the thread context. . ?)

It was his detailed post of difficulties and eventual success that led me to the same exact Sandisk 32GB, AT&T "branded" package which I too bought from an eBay BIN sale. Albeit, for $10 more than he paid, but that's fine.

It's genuine and works superbly in my Droid X, just like cproaudio said, so Thanks to cproaudio!

[General Accessories] ultrasuper:
But even at the Egg, if you read the reviews for the Kingston MicroSD products, there are invariably negatives comments about the product (32GB in this case) not living up to the Class4 spec-

But every review for the Sandisk Class2 seems to show results exceeding Class4 even.

Putting aside the fakes, I think ATM, there really is no competition for the Sandisk 32GB products.

They are the coveted cards to obtain.

I have bought a 16G mircoSD card at price 11USD including the post charge.

I have tested it by atto and the writing speed from 8k to 8193k is all above 6M/S .

Not bad and it is really very cheap
[General Accessories] Evil_Cid:
The official Kingston website doesn't even list a class 6 32GB SDHC card...this is the US one:

http://www.kingston.com/flash/sdhc_micro.asp

I think a class 6 kingston 32 GB is a fake....and I still recommend Sandisk, even though it costs more.

EDIT: I bought a class 4 Kingston cos it was fairly cheap....and I had no money :P
[General Accessories] raylvivian:
it's has to be a fake item. I bought one before and return it. if you can't find the items from kingston or whatever the manufacture, it will be a fake. it's really too good to be true. so don't buy it. you will regret.
[General Accessories] STHNS:
Here read this you will have better understanding about the Kingston and SD market in general.

http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=918

Far as this topic goes as stated before officially there is no Kingston 32GB Class 6 microSDHC, as they have C4. But if you are thinking about buying it think twice read below.

Also word of advice "DO NOT" ever buy memory card via eBay or you will be just another victim of notorious Chinese fake.
[General Accessories] ultrasuper:
Although I did get the SanDisk MicroSD from eBay following the earlier poster's experience, and it DID work out well, your warning about eBay is warranted.

Excellent link BTW, fascinating read.

Thank you.
[General Accessories] fantus1:
Just stupidly bought one of these without doing research ahead of time and want to know if they at least work as a 32gb class 4 card? Planning on getting a refund, but if its a 32gb class 4 for 50$ that works thats still not too bad of a deal
[General Accessories] grayme:
You may find that rather than a class 4 32gb card, you have a class 2 2gb card; good luck! :eek:

Sadly they won't ship to the UK or seem to work out more expensive than some sources off eBay; I'm seriously looking at Gadget Asia.
[General Accessories] grayme:
In the end I got this from Amazon.

£57.46 delivered for a class 2, but H2testw shows it to be legit and faster than expected :):

[General Accessories] kms108:
kingston has only released a class 4 and class 10 of the 32 gb microsdhc, although the class 4 version is only available now.

the class 10 version was release when 32gb started to arrove on the market. about less than a year ago, price was very expensive, then it was taken off the market.
[General Accessories] tranasam:
the phones have been capable of that for about a yr now

Are you sure? This sounds like a scam.
[General Accessories] ~WindzStriker~:
I bought the exact same card as u posted from Ebay

damn, I copy pictures in it and some were corrupted, cant read.

Official Kingston site doesnt even state a Class 6 for MicroSDcard on their site.

Got scam ? :mad:

[Desire General] hshah:
I have a 5120mb EXT on my phone and everything was great until today I got the warning that my phone memory was full.

By the looks of it, all installed applications for the past month have been going to the phone memory rather than the EXT.

How can I change it back to how it was?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Either a2sd+ is not working right or you have so many apps that the internal memory is full but the ext not jet. If a2sd+ is working correctly you might want to look in to data2sd or changing your partition size.
[Desire General] hshah:
There is no way my EXT can be full... but how can I check how much space is left on it?

How do I check my A2SD+?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Quick system info pro or titanium backup. Keep also in mind that even with a2sd+ a part of the app will always go to the internal memory
[Desire General] hshah:
I have 221mb free on the EXT.

Under Manage Applications, I have the option of moving some apps from Phone to SD... so surely for some reason they are going to the phone :-/

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
No, learn the difference between froyo a2sd and a2sd+.
[Desire General] hshah:
I know the difference, but my point is that the option to move them is there because they are on the phone and not the EXT. Most of my apps are on the EXT, so why has it stopped working and now apps are going to the phone?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Judging form your answers you have no idea what the difference between froyo A2SD and A2SD+ is. In short, froyo A2SD allows a part of the app to be transfered to the fat32 partition of your sd card. This is what you see under Manage Applications The froyo A2SD. Then there is A2SD+ which moves most of the application to the ext partition, which is more or less also internal memory to the phone. However a part of the app always stays on the internal memory and that is, when you install a lot of apps, why you will still get the low memory message.

If you use A2SD+ it does not matter where the apps are installed in Manage Applications. A part of the app will stay on the internal memory and the rest is moved between the ext partition and the fat32 partition if you move between phone and sd.

If you know your way around with terminal or have root explorer you can check this for your self. A small part of the app can be found in /data/app the rest, including the dalvik cache, can be found in /system/sd.

If there is anything in /system/sd (this means A2SD+ is working), move all the apps, via manage applications, to the phone since there is no benefit in having the on the fat32 partition (where they are if they are on the sd).

Then check if mail, maps, contacts or gmail are using a lot of space and if that is really necessary or if you can delete something there.

If a this point you still haven't found anything to delete and what to get rid of the low memory warning it's time to look in to using data2sd or changing you mdt partitions. But whatever you do, make sure you know what you are doing.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lorddart:
Hey Guys,

Sorry for this post already ha. I am not familiar with this phone i am trying to help my brother out. The wiki and a lot of general info seems fairly outdated. Is this all still the most efficient way of doing things? I have not played around with the phone yet so i am going to ask some probably dumb questions. I have an SGS phone which everything seems much easier on.

The phone i need help with is the Mytouch3g 3.5mm (I believe this is the 32A from what i have read)

My question is after rooting can i use rom manager for recovery and to put a new rom on preferably the cyanogen froyo rom. I believe is listed.

If not is there any chance someone could walk me through the process. I have read up but I have not seen a step by step to getting a Rom fully installed and in the rom areas i see a lot about changing radio and such stuff.

If i could get a PM or post or even link to where i am referring to that would be great. Also how does one go about wiping this device before changing mess. Alright thank you so much for your time.

Even though in Settings I have the Wi-Fi set to never go to sleep it still disconnects after the screen turn off or after a period of inactivity. This appears to be consistent and happens if the tablet is on battery or plugged in.

Would this be a software or a hardware issue?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TomasNM:
Hello.

I want to ask some skilled developers,how to use "srand" function?

I found in help this:

/* RAND.C: This program seeds the random-number generator
* with the time, then displays 10 random integers.
*/

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

void main( void )
{
int i;
/* Seed the random-number generator with current time so that
the numbers will be different every time we run.
*/
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );
/* Display 10 numbers. */
for( i = 0; i < 10;i++ )
printf( “ %6d\n”, rand() );
}

Problem is,when I use this example,I get errormessages:

CNS.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol time referenced in function "void __cdecl PrepareWheel(struct HDC__ *)" (?PrepareWheel@@YAXPAUHDC__@@@Z)

ARMV4Dbg/CNS.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Without this function,function "rand" returns all the time same sequence(as we know).

I am using Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 for PocketPC app development.

That's for now,thanks,Tomas.

After waiting for the official AT&T froyo release with the captivate, I decided to just go ahead and flash a froyo ROM. I've decided to flash the axura ROM first since i heard good things about it.

So while I'm finishing charging my phone before the flashing, is there anything I need to keep note of before flashing so that I can prevent bricking my phone? I've read up on the forums and watched the video from connexion2005 from the post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867153.

Backup all your apps and data with Titanium Backup. Make sure your battery is fully charged, and removing your sim and SD cards are good practice.

Have fun! You won't go back. ;)

- Backup all your files and make a nandroid backup!

- Get Odin3 One-Click and drivers to get your phone back to stock in case you brick it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

- There may be additional precautions you can take, so read through related threads on xda.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodaciousDrake:
If you've read as much as you claim to have read, then you're probably in good shape. It's really not an unsafe process as long as you have some idea of what you're doing. I was very nervous about it myself the first time, but since then I've probably flashed 20 roms without a problem.

A couple of things that I would tell you, if you aren't already aware:

1. MAKE SURE that BEFORE you flash, you can get into download mode from the phone being off using one of the methods. I'm sure you've seen the one-click flash back to JF6 (stock) that was posted - download that if you haven't. For me, removing the battery, sim, and ext sd, replacing the battery, and holding down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB works really well - just make sure Odin is running before you do that. If you do manage to brick it, you will want to be able to get to download mode and flash back to stock.

2. After moving to a custom rom, it is best to always flash back to stock before flashing a different rom; you can avoid a lot of potential problems this way.

3. After rooting your phone, backup the update.zip in /sdcard/ on your computer. Any time you flash back to stock, you can reinstall CWM really easily by just putting that update.zip back in /sdcard/ and choosing "reinstall packages" from the recovery menu again. Sometimes you may have to do it twice before it enters CWM.

4. OCLF in the market is, to me, the easiest and quickest way to root your phone, but the one click root method isn't much worse. Just a matter of preference, I guess.

Good luck! Come back if you have any problems.

EDIT: apparently two people replied while I was typing my response lol! But what they said is very good as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agegsg:
Thank you for all your help. One quick question though, do I need the android ID changer?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:
the biggest mistake people make is not making sure they have the button combinations to enter recovery or download. (download = hold both volume buttons own and plugging usb cable in; recovery = hold volume buttons down, then holding power until AT&T screen pops up, letting go of power but still holding both volume buttons) if either of these don't work, you must, before doing ANYTHING else, flash the stock odin one click with the button fixes; it is posted somewhere in the development forum. and no you shouldn't need the android id changer unless you want to keep the android id that your phone came with. then open the changer and click save id and flash your rom of choice. most custom roms have a script to automatically load a saved id or randomly generate one if there wasn't a saved one. good luck in all your flashing endeavors!

edit: also as bodaciousdrake mentioned previously about cwm recovery, you should always keep the update.zip that contains cwm recovery on your sd card and you'll never need to change that to something else because using cwm recovery you can flash any .zip file that you want and it does not need to be named update.zip.
