Maximum GB that works smoothly in Elf..

---

Hey guys, I tried to search about this topic in the forum but I don'y anything about it or was it just already in pit of the forum?

Anyways, I would like to ask the maximum capacity of memory card for Elf(in)? I am planning to buy a micro-sd and I just want to buy the best available.
Does it support SDHC memory cards? And also, does using a large GB of memory presents a risk on my device to be brick when time goes on?

Thanks for the help guys!

I have 4gb micro sdhc and it works fine. I have heard that 8GB won't function properly after a while. But I am not a genius

SanDisk 8GB

I've been working with a SanDisk 8GB MicroSD HC for about 4 months now, and still have had no issues...

And that goes without saying that I think It's a fake SanDisk, because of the packaging.

Have an 8GB SanDisk on my Elfin. Works great.

@vette95: Good to hear that! Thanks for responding..

@htedum: how long have you bean using your 8gb micro-sd? Haven't experienced any problem yet? Any slow down or hangs?

i've been using 8gb in my elf for over a year and did not ever have any issues or hangs so i would recommend it.

just my 2 cents

Wow! Thanks bro for the feedback! Will buy 8gb now.. hehe..

Been using it for two weeks now; no problems at all. I've overclocked to 273 using HomeScreen, maybe that helps. Loaded up 6G worth of music and 1G worth of movies. Installed PocketPlayer (and TCPMP for movies), and I have a slick, portable media player. Battery life isn't bad at all, but I've ordered a 2500mAh replacement, waiting for that to come in.

A tip - be sure to pick up an original, name-brand card, even if you have to pay more. A lot of fakes going around, they may slow down your phone.

@vette95: No problems with your fake?

I've been searching google how to detect fake micro-sd but unfortunately the only info I got was to make sure the serial of the memory is readable and also try to call on the manufacturer and confirm the serial. Of course, I cannot do that when I am in the store, to check each items and call them. LOL. So do you know other ways how to know it if it is genuine?

The best bet would be to avoid ebay and the like; that's where most of them are floating around. Since you're buying retail, you should be pretty safe, since you can go right back to the store if you discover that it's fake.

From what I've read, there's also the issue of classes; best pick up class 6 or at least class 4. Class 2 will be slow.
