I used a kingston 16gb class 4 (see photo) and noticed some slack in youtube and other video.

I bought a second 7 pro for my wife and that phone was much faster.

After replacing the orginal card there was no delay or slack.

:confused:

Hi nebc100,

is your class 10 micro SD Card already running on your HTC 7Pro?

Are there any issues?

Please answer soon, my original 8GB internal storage got only 149MB free Memory which causes great Problems :o

Updated my memory last night 8gb -> 16gb. I had a spare 16gb SanDisk class 2 card lying around and changed the stock card in to that. Seems to be working normally.

I'm using a Samsung 32GB Class 10 microSD since 16th of March and it works great.

The Card is much faster than the original.

Writing 5MB to the original Card (built in the HTC 7Pro) = 0.5 - 1.7 MB/s

Writing 5MB to this Card by Samsung (built in the HTC 7Pro) = 8.0 - 9.1 MB/s

Writing 5MB to micro sd sandisk 32 mobile ultra (built in the HTC 7Pro) = 9 MB/s

Writing 5MB to micro sd sandisk 32 class4 (built in the HTC 7Pro) = 5 MB/s

And when i lunch apply that is very fast!

[HTC 7 Pro] :
I tried a sandisk 16gb class 2 that i've had for a while and had serious slowdowns, especially on entering the passcode (5 second wait sometimes)

I then tried a 32gb class 10 adata card which worked excellently for a while but then gave random crashes, seemingly the more I filled the card the worse it got....

Now using a sandisk class 4 16gb 80% filled with no problems, but a noticable speed drop...
[HTC 7 Pro] morpheuszg:
Yep, I have also slow downs due to the new SD card. I have a SanDisk 32GB Class 4. With it, youtube videos are heavily stuttering when streaming. Installation of apps also take longer. Quite annoying...
[HTC 7 Pro] dandrayan:
Sounds like you bought the same one that I just did: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171487. WPBench gave me 1-2MB/sec speeds on that card, compared to 7-8MB/sec on the stock card. It took forever to install apps, and then it took forever to load them once they were installed. I'm returning the card to Newegg because those speeds are unacceptably low.

I stopped by my local Fry's Electronics today and picked up one these Samsung cards instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA12K0932091. So far, so good. I'm getting 9-10MB/sec in WPBench and the OS feels snappier than it did with the stock card. Still not Class 10 speeds, but I'll take the small bump in performance anyway.
[HTC 7 Pro] morpheuszg:
You are right, it is the same ^^ Some are getting system crashes with high class SD cards. So, I'm at the moment not so sure wether I should buy one of these. Is your device stable with it?
[HTC 7 Pro] dandrayan:
It's been over 24 hours since I installed the 32GB Samsung card and I've had zero problems. The upgrade was a success!
[HTC 7 Pro] morpheuszg:
I also bought it today (luckily it was available at a local store) and it is really a big difference in speed. I think I will convert my old 32GB card into an USB stick.
[HTC 7 Pro] Loco5150:
I started to have random crashes with SanDisk 16gb class 2 card. When using SMS, sometimes opening the phone and starting to type really fast results to phone boot. I ordered the Samsung 32gb class 10 card people seem to have good results.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
It looks like the 32Gb Samsung is on sale at Fry's this weekend and if no one else has had any issues with it I may pick one up.

[HTC 7 Pro] Loco5150:
Installed the Samsung 32gb class 10 card today... The whole device is wayyyy faster now, than with the SanDisk 16gb class 2 card I installed previously. New card seems to be working great, I will report back if any problems appear.
[HTC 7 Pro] nickallison:
Have been going about 6mths with SanDisk 32Gb class 4. Now getting random crashes and "memory card errors". Looks like card has failed over time. Anyone else?

I've already upgraded my 7Pro with 16Gb a long time ago, and now considering to upgrade to the 32Gb Samsung card mentioned above. (only 3GB free)

Is there any possibility to clone the card? Or is there no other option than hard resetting my phone?
[HTC 7 Pro] SCoty09:
So, is 32 GB Samsung card really the best choice for Htc 7 Pro? Or have anybody problem with this card?

I have a sandisk 32gb class4 working in my htc 7pro :) everything working fine :)
[HTC 7 Pro] ablahblah:
Has anyone been seeing any speed increases by upgrading to a particular card? Over the stock ones of course.

My Arrive/7-Pro still has a lot of space to go till its 16GB is up, but I'm starting to get fed up with the lag in the Zune player and YouTube player. Phone will just restart in my pocket sometimes, too, though I'm not sure whether that's just routine?
[HTC 7 Pro] Loco5150:
Sounds like issues that too slow sd-card could do, but if its stock card it would be a warranty issue?

I had a major speed improvement when I put the Samsung 32gb class 10 card in, but I had changed the stock SanDisk 8gb class 4 card to SanDisk 16gb class 2 before, so Im comparing to that.
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
When swapping the card, Is is possible to backup the phone, swap cards, and then restore the phone to the device or is there some sort of Partition mumbo jumbo that goes into it that would break things?

I apparently have a lot of XBLive apps (and like to keep things installed) and after a fresh phone setup and install, I am left with less than 2.5G free of the original 14ish (on the stock 16G). Anything below 4 seems to slow down the device and anything below say 1.5~ the phone can become a flat out pig. I do look forward to the WP8 devices hopefully with a minimum of 16G of internal flash that has some good GC and maybe even Trim support to keep things from getting slow.

Also I am looking around and apparently a Class 10 now works fine all of a sudden? I can say I have always though Sandisk cards were crap and have yet to be proven wrong in the regard (had them fail, seen them fail, and well others have reported similar things with their Class 10 and below cards here and there).

One card I have had no problem with is the 16G Class 4 Polaroid (By PNY) chips in all my past phones and devices. After buying over 5 of them they all continue to work great. So I may stop by frys tonight and pick up one of These.

Have any of you with the Class 10 32G filled that card to the brim and seen how it works under full load?

Looking around, it is like said before, the random read/write speed that is most important to the WP7 file system (Since it I believe stores everything in smaller files on the disk similar to a PS3 actually).

The Reason the Samsung's seem to be holding up is the consistant speed (even if still a tad slow.)

(From Amazon)

While a Class 4 will probably get closer to 1.6+MBs, this isn't to bad considering the high Sequential performance + the way above .0XX speed a lot of the other Class 10's are getting. The only one to get this close was a PNY 32G for Tablet PC's that was able to hit a full 1.9 Random Speed O.o

Sadly that chip is hard to find and not cheap.

So after looking for too long, it looks like the Samsung really is the best Class 10 to pick up right now. It has consistant Sequential and Random speeds which is nice to see, random speeds are high enough (eg not .300-.006 MBs) and overall look also the most reliable. Might have to open this beast up tonight to make the upgrade quick and painless...
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Hey Loco, can you run a WP Bench Memory test on your phone? Would be nice to see how it compares to stock.
[HTC 7 Pro] Daneron:
Still working fine after severall months :good:
[HTC 7 Pro] Jens-J.:
There is no Backup Option for your 16GB card , the internal Card builds a JOB with internal memory, when you remove your card all data will be lost,

Sorry thats FAKT.
[HTC 7 Pro] Loco5150:
Here you go sir..
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Well that beats the tar out of the stock chip. (14.9/2.44MB/s Lol).

Looks like I have an upgrade in the near future to tide me over till Sprints gets their hands on a WP8 device.
[HTC 7 Pro] ashamsu:
Dear Member........

today i upgraded with SanDisk 32GB Class 4 card.

It is working after making hard reset the phone................
[HTC 7 Pro] ablahblah:
wait wait wait whoaaaa I should have read through the article, people are having problems with the SanDisk 32GB Class 4s? Gah, the one I put an order in is coming today lol.

Is it specifically the SDSDQM-032G-B35N model? I got the SDSDQ-032G-A11M model as it is the one listed on SanDisk's website and some people have reported success with it. Little afraid to start phone surgery soon lol.

Also, is the phone book/People Hub reset when the phone is reset to factory?
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Na the Phonebook is synced with your Live account, so as long as you have one of those syncing with the phone, all should be good. However I cannot comment on that Sandisk. The stock 16G Class 4 that came with the phone really is a POS. The new 32G Samsung Class 10 really is all that much better in every way so far. Improved read speed by over 5MB/s and write speed by over 7MB/s. Sammy really did their homework on this chip. I also picked up that $14 (-$7 MIR) from Frys and while it is a 32G for cheap, the performance outside of sequental is absolutly horrible lol. A good storage chip for my Tab, but nothing else.

Has anyone tried a Micro sdxc card yet? this 16GB fills up quick with my EDM podcast's.
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
I am pretty sure all curent windows phones (and most other devices short of newer tablets) only support up to SDHC. SDXC may come with WP8 though.
[HTC 7 Pro] Indianer:
Hello,

some minutes ago i did the Upgrade with a 64gb Sandisk SDXC without any Problem.

Free Memory overall now is 59,25 mb, and the Phone is very fast, no hanging, no stuttering. I didn't format the Card, so i don't know what format is used by the Phone. With my HD2 the Card is formatted in Fat32.

Tomorrow i will make a Benchtest. But now i cannot do anything, i have to wait for reinstalling all my Apps.
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
If that is the case then we need some pictures/benchmark numbers man. That is actually really good news.

What card did you get? You should have benchmarked it externally with a SSD app like AS SSD on the PC before installing it, but overall this is great news.
[HTC 7 Pro] Indianer:
Hello,

My Apps are restored and i did a WP Bench. mem=14,75 stor=6,84.

That looks not so great like other Benchs, but this Card is fast on writing 4k Blocks (Over 1 mb/s). Other Card are terrible slow there.

Later i will do an Bench of my second SDXC Card in my HD2, but this one was labeled as a Class 6 Card, while the new is labeled as a Class 10 Card.

So Sandisk made 2 different 64mb sdxc Cards? I don't know.
[HTC 7 Pro] Indianer:
Hello,

Here a Pic from the Info-Page.
[HTC 7 Pro] Indianer:
Hello,

After googling a lot i found interesting infos about Class 6 and Class 10 Version of this Card. The Class 6 was the first release, i have this Card in my HD2 and no Problems with it.

The New released Class 10 Card seems to have some Problems that can destroy the Card if used in the wrong Device.

So be careful where you use it if you buy one. The Card in my 7 Pro is working now 1 Day and 1 Night without any Problems, so i hope the Controllerprobs dosn't happen here.
[HTC 7 Pro] Indianer:
Hello,

Here are News from the SDXC Card. I filled it in the past hours with Videos and Music to come over 32gb. This because some Hadware can handle the Card only up to 32gb and go crazy after that.

But no Problems here, i have now 29,64gb free and everything is running as it should.

Also scrolling is smooth as before with the emty Card, so i can say this Project finally is a full success.
[HTC 7 Pro] ablahblah:
Hold up...I was about to pull the trigger on the Samsung card. The OP has a picture of a 7 Pro with a SIM slot...and the memory card is conveniently located on the underside of said slot. Whilst, the other Arrive teardown guide that I've read at ppcgeeks has the SD card buried in the second layer of the shell, on the PCB and not on a nice, easy access ribbon cable.

So this guide doesn't correspond to the Sprint CDMA version? o.O
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Kida more for the GSM pro, but overall getting inside the phone is essentially the same. Not the hardest project as I have gotten inside both my Arrives a few times already. Just be slow and careful to not loose any of the screws.

[HTC 7 Pro] truncksz:

[HTC 7 Pro] logifin:
I don't think so because WP crypts card so its a useless after its have been removed from your phone. You have to install all apps and move your music back to new memory card.

I have looked over the internet but there is no way to "unlock" that memory card. Its sad because 8 GB micro-SD is good size example for digital camera.

maybe in future... :)
[HTC 7 Pro] truncksz:
the main problem for me is that with hard reset i will lost all sms and app data. I can't restore any previous backup from zune too, because it will recognize something were changed in the phone from last time. No solution ?
[HTC 7 Pro] true2you:
Hey guys. Wow I haven't been over xda for more than a year. Lol still feels like home.

So if anyone could advise me, i't would be great. I've been running a 32gig sandisk class 4 (Sandisk SDSDQM-032G-B35) on my phone, but since then, my youtube streamings have been awfully choppy, and my loading times are terrible, and it's only recently that i've found that it may be related to this card.

So my questions are

- do you guys think it's worth switching with some other card (like the samsung class 10 which seems to work for some of you)

you can see the attached wp bench screenshot made after a restart (i guess the memory speeds are pretty bad because of this card - i get between 0,5 and 2,5 for storage, but most of the time around 1MB/s[YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]).

I have18,48 gigs of used memory (10 gigs of unkown fillings - apps, navigon... the rest being filled with the usual pics, videos and music) and 11,03 gigs free over a total of 29,51 gigs.

-is it true that sdxc 64 are working with the 7 pro???????????? If so, are there any memory speed issues? But seriously, does it reeeely work, like, i mean, ... wooow.

EDIT -- ANYONE?

i guess a sdxc card could be a sweet alternative to those unappealing wp8 phones, and would be a good reason to replace the damaged body of the phone for 100€ instead of getting a 920lumia for 650€.
[HTC 7 Pro] Indianer:
Hello true2you,

My SDXC Card is running very fast. But sometimes there are hanging and rebooting, but i can live with this because this dosn't happen very often.

I had such Problems too with the SDXC in my HD2, but there i could fix it by formatting the Card with 64k Clusters. But i don't know if this Trick is working with the HTC 7 Pro.
[HTC 7 Pro] true2you:
thanks a lot, now i'm convinced

[HTC 7 Pro] Martin7Pro:
Backup and restore:

Use FULL unlock ROM or Root Tools. Install Ultrashot WMDC and WP7 Backup (desktop app and WM6 drivers needed). It saves your messages, addressbook and applications data, restores it all to hardreseted device (applications will reinstalled from market automatically, only their's isolated storages are necessary to backup and restore).

Try my HTC7Pro Commander - still beta, full hardware keyboard support will released on Christmas probably. Unlock needed.

[HTC 7 Pro] Martin7Pro:
Transcend 32GB class 10 confirmation

Transcend micro SDHC 32GB class 10 Ultimate 233x works (preliminary) fine on my HTC7Pro after a couple of hardresets (must be did by Volume up + Volume down in time of device starting). Zune backup is used to restore by Zune normally without any error message, but no data are restored, phone seems as after hard reset also after restoring. This is not important for me, I want to flash newest Dynamics ROM and have external backup, but for everybody: Do not forget to use Ultrashot's WPBackup instead Zune one before card changing. Plomb on screw is carefully preparable by thin sharp screwdriver and able to be glued back. Wait for definitive confirmation, I will report class 10 behawiour after any working days.

One day later:

For now I'm excited. Full \Windows directory (more then 9000 items!) is loaded to Phone Commander less than two seconds. The same operation lasted cca seven seconds on original SD card. On Dynamics 2.0 ROM with the newest 8860+8862 Zune actualisations (big thanks to Ultrashot, HD2Owner and others for autoupdatable fully unlocked ROM) is my HTC7Pro subjective more than fast.

Two months later:

Memory works well. Not much quickly, but better then original. I have got another problem: My 3G ang GPS connectivity is very bad now. I damaged any contacts probably. One screw stayed on the table after replacing the card and I do not know where he belonged, this is the cause probably.

SDXC 64gb/128gb for my HTC 7 Pro

Hi Indianer (and any other HTC 7 pro users with upgraded SDXC memory),

I bought a second hand HTC 7 pro, then upgraded it to WP7.8. I haven't changed the micro SD card yet, so all it's got is its original 8gb.

From your post, Indianer, your 64go works well (despite some rare hangings and rebooting). Can you tell be the exact specs of your SDXC micro-card?

Has anyone tried any higher capacity memory card with the phone? If so, how well does it work?

Cheers
[HTC 7 Pro] Indianer:
Sorry, all i can say it is one of the first Sandisk SDXC Class 10 Cards that came out. My first 64gb Sandisk Card was Class 6, this is working in my HD2.

I have also other interesting News: For my second HD2 i bought a 64 GB Samsung MicroSD.

This Card is awesome fast in the HD2, in Parts it's nearby the double Speed of the Sandisk! Measured by the SD-Benchmark of Pocket Mechanic

But i don't know if this Card will work in the 7 Pro. So if anybody want to try this?

I heard that the 32 GB Samsung Cards are working very good too, so i think the 64 GB will do it.
[HTC 7 Pro] kbcarroll:
I've dug and dug online for an answer to this all day and I am at my wit's end:

Asking here because I figure other people might want to re-use a card that was in their Arrive/7 Pro.

I have 4 HTC Arrive's here. 2 of them are completely dead and useless. I yanked the 16gb SD cards from them, because they can come in very useful in other areas (cameras, gopro, other phones). My computers or any of my android phones can't access the cards.

I know it's been mentioned that WP7 "crypts" the cards or something, but there's got to be a way to undo this and make them useful again.

Only my Surface RT can even see the cards, but it can't format them in any way (gives Access Denied errors)

Anyone have any idea?
[HTC 7 Pro] Indianer:
All i can say is that Nokia Symbian Phones can reformat the crypted cards. But i don't know details or the exact Nokia models that can do this.

Try google to find more about this.
