SD Cards Which Do & Dont Work With The Defy
- Thread starter MrBelter
- Start date
Just to add the problems seem to be more prevalent with the official 2.2 release, if you are using another ROM please specify.
Had the same issue, but after formating via Windows 7 using "slow" format and clusters of 4096, it is working flawlessly, so:
KNOWN TO WORK after formating correctly.
Transcend 8GB Class 6
+1 I've read on the official Moto forum that the 2.2 release is the main culprit.
Well after format my card also worked temporarily. I used the offical sd formatter tool of the sd card association.

Sandisk 2GB (The one that comes with the Defy)
Read:12.8MB/s
Write:6.9MB/s
Sandisk 8GB Class 4
Read:25.3MB/s
Write:4.7MB/s
Both the above cards work. But the first time I inserted the 8GB card, the phone had problems; It wound stutter and freeze only when the USB cable was connected (even if the other end wasn't connected to anything). I formatted in Windows (FAT32 4096 cluster size) and it works well
Speeds are averages of multiple tests in SD Tools.

I may have spoke to soon. It WAS working correctly until I started putting all my apps back on it, and then it started acting up all over again. I went back to a 4GB class 2 I had sitting around. Seems to be working well even with my apps on it. I can't believe this is so hard to find cards that just work.
EDIT - The 4GB Class 2 that is working is a SanDisk

You put apps on your SDcard? Not in your internal memory?
I have a 16 GB Trancend Class 6 have no problems, only with Sygic Aura but i think thats because of this crappy app that still has to be fixed. Running with it for 2 months no problems with all other apps etc.
(My apps are installed in the internal memory enough space with the 2GB, not on the SD card)
I wish I could just keep them all on my internal memory. With over 400 apps I run low even with 2GB available internally.

1Lets post what cards we do know work and the ones that don't because this is starting to cost people money just trying to find out. It is becoming apparent the faster the class the less likely the card will work. All class 2 and 4 cards seems to work, the majority of class 6 cards work but class 10 cards that work are few and far between.
The problems seem to be with the official moto release of 2.2, many had no problems with 2.1 so the issues are with the software not the hardware.
