Hi group,
I'm currently using a 4Gb Micro SD card in my Hero, which is just about full.
I want to get a bigger card. I hear that a Class 6 card is the one to get. Any advice?
Now, when I get my new card, do I simply copy everything from the old card, into my computer, take out the 4 Gb card from my phone, replace it with my new card, then copy all of the data back?
Incidentally.......and I know that I might have been a bit slow here, but I just did teh ROM upgrade thingy then the phone upgraded to Android 2.1
What a difference. If you are still running 1.5, I would definately go for this upgrade, but be warned.....you will need a free evening with no possibility of disturbances.

Buy from reputable sources only, and don't get hung up on the class rating. It only stipulates the minimum read/write speeds, so a good Class 4 can outperform a mediocre Class 6. In day-to-day use you probably won't notice a difference between them anyway.

Yup, exactly that. Make sure you format the new card in the phone before copying the data back, to ensure that the file system is 100% compatible.
What the biggest sized SD card the Hero will take?
I've read 32GB in some reviews but have never seen confirmation from HTC themselves (their specs for the Hero don't list supported capacities). The onboard memory controller should support 32GB cards, though.

Thanks Slug.
I assume you mean 32Gig not MB?
What's the most I could put in and know it will work reliably pls?
Oops, well spotted. I was at work and working on another email at the time.... if I substituted GB for MB in that one I'll have a bit of explaining to do.

I used a 16GB Transcend card for over a year without any problems, until I moved it into my new handset.
