RiceRocket Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I've just obtained a T-Mobile G2 Touch which seems to be identical to the HTC Hero apparently, anyway it's a f***ing quantum leap from my previous phone (Motorola V3:rolleyes:) and I've stopped reading gadget/phone mags a while now so I'm "not with it". It's got a 2gb flash card pre-installed which I want to upgrade to as much memory as possible but I'm a little confused as the spec says the phone has "microSD slot (SDHC compatible)" does this mean I can stick this card in then? If not can someone point me in the right direction? Ta. Also anyone recommend an app I can/should download from Android? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DODGYDODDS Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 This one will work, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-16GB-MicroSD-Memory-Card/dp/B001RPJEYA/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1256231694&sr=1-20 The link to the card you have given is the normal sized sd card, not the micro bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Ok these microSD cards, can I link the phone via USB to my pc and copy all the info on it to a folder and then put it back on the phone with a newer+more storage card in the future?

DODGYDODDS Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 You should be able to, save the data off the old card to your comp, then when you link the phone to your comp, and then go on my computer, it should either come up as a mass storage device, or the sd card should show up, you can then paste the folder/files to it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 How much memory do you want? 8Gb £13 http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_6&products_id=103937 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the phone should give you an option to "Mount" the sd card when you connect it via USB, this will show the card in "My Computer" on your PC Browse here for apps for your phone, easier than doing it on the phone but mind you have to install them from the phone http://www.cyrket.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Looks like a good bit of kit that but I'm not sure the chin thing is for me. The interface looks hugely similar to my Win Mobile OS touch pro 2. All depends on what level of support the android system gets. If sat nav programs and the likes get converted en-masse then it will be a competent rival for the already hugely popular Win Mobile equipped equivalents.

Thorin Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've just bought an 8GB class 6 (fastest) microSD for my phone, this one to be exact http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001U2EQF2/ref=ox_ya_oh_product Less than £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Oh and as for apps, I've not had my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy) long but this is what I have so far... aDyno - Not actually tried it in the car yet, but looks quite good. AK Notepad - simple app for notes Any Cut - Make short cuts to just about anything, I've got shortcuts to go straight to ringing or texting someone for example Astrid - Task/To Do list Astro - File and application manager (backup apps etc.) ShopSavvy - Barcode scanner, price comparison thing Bonsai Blast - bit like bust-a-move/puzzle bobble, match 3 same coloured bubbles etc. Gmote - Remotely control media playback on your PC Google Sky map - Quite impressive, uses GPS to get your location and you can hold it up to the sky and it points out constellations etc. GPS Status 2 - Simple app with a compass and GPS info (speed, direction etc.) Layar - "Augmented reality" app, again uses GPS to know your location and overlays location of pubs, restraurants, whatever, over the top of the camera display. Wikitude - Similar to above Handcent SMS - much better than the standard messaging app IMO Robo Defense - Very addictive game TouchPal - Better than the standard android virtual keypad, but I believe HTC bundle a similar one TTS - Text to speech, amusing reading out text messages TV-Guide - Self explanitory Wifi Analyser - Useful to find other wireless networks in the area, see what channel they are on etc. Also Facebook and Twidroid apps if you're into that kind of thing. I can also recommend looking into rooting your phone and installing one of the custom ROM's. You get some cool things like Wifi Tether so that you can connect your laptop to the phone via wifi and browse using the phone's 3G connection. If you find any other good apps let me know, still all new to Android myself, but I think it's the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the phone should give you an option to "Mount" the sd card when you connect it via USB, this will show the card in "My Computer" on your PC I've learnt that stuff Browse here for apps for your phone, easier than doing it on the phone but mind you have to install them from the phone http://www.cyrket.com/ but I'm not sure the chin thing is for me. don't really notice it Oh and as for apps, I've not had my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy) long but this is what I have so far... (list) Great will have a look Also Facebook and Twidroid apps if you're into that kind of thing. If you find any other good apps let me know, still all new to Android myself, but I think it's the future Will do. Not got it myself yet but apparently TuneWiki puts lyrics/artwork to your music.
