which class of sd card works without problem on p500??

[nikhil4186]

my newly bought 8gb class 4 sd card keeps un mounting so I wish to upgrade it to 16gb card.
so I want to know whether class 2 card will work properly or will I have to get class 6

Class 6 would be the better and costlier option obviously. I am using a class 4 16GB SanDisk card and havent faced any sd unmount issues till now. try using a different rom. i heard it mentioned somewhere that some rom's precipitate more sd unmount issues than others.

The class ratings for memory cards are like mpg ratings for cars. They are a measure of the card's read/write capabilities. The class rating doesn't tell you if you are driving a Mercedes or a Kia. Cheap cards with high class rating have high rates of failure and corruption. All classes of cards can work with your phone. Get a card with good reviews. Beyond a minimum class rating, you are wasting your money. My class 4 Kingston card has higher read/write speeds than my class 10 a-data.

I have another 4gb class 2 card of transcend and it does not unmount at all. this one is made in korea.

Transcend 8gb class 6 never unmounted once.

I am unable to find a class 6 card. all that is available is class 2 and class 4

I have a 8GB Class 4 card from Verbatim. It works flawlessly bro.

I have 8GB class 4 card and i had unmounts in stock 2.0 ROM and also in void rom. But now i am on Gyanogen 7 beta6 and no more Also A LOT faster.

Well I'm using 16g class6 from a small brand in Taiwan.But it works very well, with speed r11 w8.

I know it's not that fast, but very stable.

I guess unmounts depend on the ROM, whether you're using Apps2SD and the class. I had unmounts on void with Apps2SD. Quite stable with Cyanogen so far. Class 2.
Will upgrade it to a Sandisk 8gb class 4 soon. Sounds like a safe bet.

 

[nikhil4186]

so you recon I upgrade my firmware to 2.2.2 from 2.2?

I got a 16gig class 4 and it works fine

I try two Sandisk class-2 4GB and one Kingston class-4 8GB. All have problem daily. Eventually I settled on Transcend class-4 4GB. It not perfect (once a month maybe, I lost track), but doesn't both me anymore.

 

[nikhil4186]

I thought there was a problem with class 4 cards, now I dont know which card works.

 

[r291]

so you recon I upgrade my firmware to 2.2.2 from 2.2?

I don't think 2.2.2 solves the unmount problem. Try a cyanogen mod beta without apps2sd. beta 5 has been stable for me. I hope this will be fixed when the official gingerbread comes out. Create a nandroid and titanium backup just in case. the unmounts were the worst for me with stock lg.

I bought a Sandisk 4GB class 4 card and still had unmounts and freezes. Now my P500 is in repair service...

 

[pymebrahimi]

I had an A-Data 8GB Class 4 .. it was a disaster... multiple errors and reboots on installing program... very very slow. on all Froyo ROMs it was the same. but only on Cyanogen ROM it works without errors and reboots. also the boot process on Cyanogen beta5 takes about 3 minutes that i think it was because of that...

PS. I changed my Memory card today to a 8GB Patriot Class 4... I am testing it right now
PPS. Until now the new microSD works like a charm... no problem at all... it is so much faster and better than A-Data

 

[nikhil4186]

doesn't divx videos stop working if you install custom rom? I use this phone only for four purposes,
reading books
internet
music
movies
I have a psp for games and another phone for phone and messaging etc
I dont have a computer though, so can't flash either.

I received my phone from LG repair service this week. They told me that they found nothing wrong, so they didn't do anything to the phone. Today my phone had again the "sd removed unexpectedly" message. It will probably have freezes again in a couple of weeks. These guys at LG service are useless. As my phone still has 10 months guarantee remaining, I will send my phone to repair service as many times as neccesary until they give me an acceptable answer or solution.

It's incredible LG doesn't have an official fix for this. Trying a different SD card is not a solution, since the SD provided should work, another SD is not guaranteed to work, and otherwise faultless SD cards are not working properly in this phone.
