Swapping out the MicroSD card of HTC Surround

---

Ok... I'm not so sure If i was supposed to make a new thread or reply to an old one... but If you replaced your MicroSD card, then what kind did you replace the 16gb card with? I put in an older 8GB C4 card and my phone is not working as well as before. It is not responding during sync and it opens applications a bit slower. Every time, after about 5 minutes into the sync operation, it stops responding and I have to reconnect it to my computer, and I fear that it is overcharging the battery.
So just curious, what brand, model (if you have it), size, and class, are you using currently?

SD Cards

Hi Kuree,

The first time I replaced my SD i used a Lexar 16GB Micro SDHC (it has a 4 in a cirlce on it as well). This one worked perfectly, syncing and there were no slow downs what so ever.

The card i have in my surround now is Also a 16GB MicroSDHC (with a 2 circled on it) this card also works perfectly. i'm not sure on the brand name as this one doesn't say it but I'm pretty sure it was a Lexar Mobile version.

I've only used 16GB cards so i can't exactly tell you if the 8GB card is the root of your issues.

Hopefully this helps you out!

If you have any more questions let me know and I'll see if i can answer them.

Take care,

Coockoo

I guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread. I'm having issues with upgrading to 32g... after hard resetting the phone and setting up time, the phone just gets stucked in "installing apps". It just seats there.

Any suggestions or things I should try??...

Any help will be highly appreciated...

thanks

what 32 are you using? there are very few 32s that will work.

Hi,

Is "ADATA" micro SDHC 4

They told me (were I bought this) that this card should work.

Now I can't even read or format the SD card....

Thanks!!

Adata is rubbish. Get a SanDisk, those are the only ones known to work.

I didn't even know the surround had a memory card slot, where is it?

Any chance to revive the "adata" card?. I would really hate to trash 26 bucks...

To LKMR, search youtube, there is a nice tutorial on how to expand the memory of the phone.

In this video how to disassemble, locate, and swap out the microSD card in an HTC Surround Windows Phone 7 on AT&T. Please note that undertaking this project will most certainly void your handset's warranty.

I used a Sandisk Class 4 32GB. No problems at all... WELL worth the price and effort. They are also VERY cheap if you keep an eye on Deal a Day. I've bought 4 from there so far, the last was like $20.
