SD card size for Lg Vx 8100 / 9800?

I have a vx8100 and my wife 9800. I’m wondering if we can use bigger SD cards with them than the 512 mb with vx8100 and the gig with 9800 as I’ve recently heard. Has anyone used any bigger with these phones? Thanks for the info!

I personally have 1GB on my 9800, but I’ve read that people actually use 2GB with it. As for the vx8100 they sell 1GB cards for it so probably it’s not true that the max for vx8100 is 512MB.

dude, I actually use a 2g sandisk with my 8100. you can get it for 60-70 of ebay and it really makes the deal. i guess your card is lemon as you've said, and you won't have problem when you change it for a new.

9800 won't take anything over a 1 gig!

This is true -- the VX9800 is currently firmware limited so as not to be able to address memory space above 1 gig.

You claim its not -- how so? Got something to back it up with? Other than the usual, I heard that someone wrote that somebody saw on the web where some guy had talked about his buddy who knew someone who saw where somebody had put a 2 gig card in a 9800.......

To play music on it, do you HAVE to buy Verizon's software?

NO you do not

with the 8100 and the 9800 you can both put in a 2 gig card. With the 9800 you don't have to buy the Verizon Software, but you need to buy a card reader, then you can click and drag the MP3 onto the card. With the 8100 if you got it before they upgraded the phone to do V-Cast Music then no, you don't have to buy the software. But if you got the phone after they added V-Cast Music, then you have to buy the new software package, and download Windows Media Player 10. Because with the new 8100 software it disables the MP3, and substitutes it for WMA foremat. Basically so they could sell one more thing to you and make more money. I personally have the Samsung 950 with the new software so i can do V-Cast Music, and yes i went out and bought the Package so i could put the music on my phone, it comes with a USB cable, the c.d for the driver, and a cool pair of ear phones. Any questions?

Not true -- with the software upgrade on the 8100 it disables MP3 support but from the hidden service menu MP3 support can easily be re-enabled. Same will apply when the software upgrades are issued for the 9800.

how do i do this re activation on a vx 8100

enable mp3 playback lg vx8100:
menu 7 zeros
music setting>option 11>MP3 Enable.
now option 8 on the GET IT NOW>GET TUNES & TONES menu is "My MP3s"
you need a mini SD card to store MP3s

Thats really great! I found this @ http://www.forumvadisi.com Thanks...

VX9800 recommends 1GB and the VX8100 recommends a 512.
If you use a bigger card you might damage the system. It won't damage it right away but in 1 year it s not going to work nomore. Just a warning!!
