Hi All,
Are there any cards on the market for the XDA II that have SD/MMC memory and wireless functionality in the same card ? I think I heard about it somewhere on here but I can't remember the name of the manufacturer, or if they are even available yet.
Any pointers appreciated,
Thanks,
Rob.
I read that DeTeWe want's to develop such a card
and show it on the Cebit, but I only read it...
Found this via Google:
Sandisk SD WIFI card with 128MB SDWSDB-128-485
Here's a brochure from Sandisk - but it claims that the 128 MB is for CF and 256 MB is for SD - go figure...
wow, that's a bit too pricey...
might wait for the price to go down on it though, cos it seems like an interesting idea, i want to try it out
I got one of these on ebay for £70. Hasnt arrived yet but will post a review when ive tried it.
Matt
A review when you get it would be very useful Matt..
Cheers,
Rob.

Before I splash out out on this card...will it work OK in my Wizard ?

I am pretty sure there are NO 4 gb minisd cards on the market. There have been a few stories of skams that would make me v wary. I have been watching the market/forums for months and seen absolutely no credible reports of one in existence.
I have magnified the picture of the claimed 4gb minisd card - and to my eyes it looks duped! the 4 is not in line or same font as the 0 - what do others think?
Yeah, there are 4gb cards
But I am not sure that the one you linked to is legit.
No branding for the manufacturer of the card itself is my biggest clue as to not believe it.
From another Forum
it deals with the sda but here is some info from HOFO

Where then - show me a legit 4gb minisd. I have followed that thread and still there no real world 4gb minisd cards. All the ones advertised on ebay etc... are scams. As the above thread stated and the above image - they have been photoedited and v poorly too.

Oh I agree with you - I am not sure there are any out yet, what I am saying is that is has been stated (presumably legitimately) that they will exist.

Ok friends now Yep they were meant to come out 1st or 2nd Q this year but I think manufacturers have withdrawn because of microsd cards and I reckon they are investing in these. I would like the manufacturers to prove me wrong though because many think 4 and 8 gb minisd cards are feasible.
sandisk's site and wikipedia both say 2gb is the max
I don't know if you guys checked but 4gb sd's are out. I don't understand the difference btwn sd and mini. They are supposed to be the same but just smaller.
I have not seen any 4.0 GB miniSD's. The font on the picture is definitely fake. The "4" is of different font type and size. My advice is "DON'T BUY IT". It's a scam!
OP: No, it will not work in your Wizard....
good lord...
It looks like a lot of people here really need to do a bit of research before flapping their lips about things they are not informed about.
4gb MiniSD cards do in fact exist.
However, the Wizard can not recognize it because of the size. It can only see 2 gigs of a 4 gig card... so it is pretty much useless until there is some type of firmware update that would allow them to see all 4gb of the card.
Like I said though... the phones only see them as 2gb cards because of firmware limitations.
Just a thought . . .
So, since there is a 2gb limitation, I wonder if you partitioned the card to 2 - 2gb partitions if it would address that (probably not) but seeing as I do not have one - it is a question that idly went through my mind.

Thanks gldrush98 for those images- do you own one? You will find i have done quite alot of research and i dont flap :wink: The prophet - v similar firmware can manage a 4gb sd card without a problem as can the older magician. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32265&start=25
Sometimes the card needs to be at least 2gb full for the card to be fully recognized or formatted on the device with storage tools or the like.
Best to be formatted to fat16 not fat32 - thats why its probably not working properly in the wizard. Many 2gb cards even dont work on the wizard if formated to fat32.
You can also partition your memory card - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52380&highlight=format+4gb
This is the orig post that those images came from http://www.bengalboy.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=584&forum=8&post_id=4043
and it looks like the poster bought the card from the same link as the first post. So it may be legit.
well im sure some of you have read post from this guy. about how he is able to read files from his eight gb sd card in is uni even tho it only says 2 gb on his device. has anyone else gotten one of these supposed magical cards and tried it out? i searched on ebay and it seems to be that only one guy has or sells this specific card . is nuclear advertising for this guy , is he a scammer or is this true and we dont know about it yet. please give input if you have gotten one of these cards and have tested it out.
Even all those 4GB SD-cards are already non-standard and not working in most of the devices. From 4GB upwards they have to be SDHC-cards (SD 2.0) which are not supported by the Universal's reader. Sure, it would be possible to manufacture 8GB SD-cards, but it's very unlikely that they work in a lot of devices since SD was never meant to have more than 2GB.

well i just saw today that a treo that was supposedly not able to support sdhc is now able to because of a firmware update. check engadgetmobile.com if that can be done with a treo why not the universal. if its a software problem im sure there are people in here that are able to help
Sorry about my long post but i am trying to give as much information as i can in one post.
I am requesting ROM builders to start firmware upgrades to support these 4GB and 8GB cards. Windows Crossbow doesnt support 4GB or 8GB SD only cards, instead it reads them and reformats them changing the firmware of the card to 2GB!!!!... I havent tried SDHC yet. Here are pictures of my 4GB Extreme III SanDisk SD only card. I couldnt upload it here so i zipped them and uploaded them to rapidshare. Helmi's AKU 3.5 ROM doesnt read a card formatted using Crossbow... i dont know its just too many details. I cant think. But I just want to let you guys know that you are right so far on your research. Keep the good work up!
http://rapidshare.com/files/8938902/sandisk_tech_support.zip
I emailed sandisk tech support these images. It seems they havent replied yet. Keep a track on all my threads as i keep posting about these cards everywhere.
Trust me its just because i have a lot of money that i am able to get my hands on these things. And i just keep posting my observations. I would even get my hands on the 32GB card if I could bribe the CEO of SanDisk.
It got reformatted to 2GB.. I am unable to make it 4GB again.
My 8GB card as you can see in pictures on ebay is a samsung make. Its also SD only. 8GB SDHC cards are available to be bought. They are a bit slower then normal SD cards and are cheaper too.
32GB cards will be coming soon in SD or SDHC i believe. I read it in news. Like its totally upto you to believe me or not, my information is very helpful to me but i still encounter problems and it seems not even sandisk can help me
Anyways so its a farse that Universal's SD card readers dont support SDHC. And you can file a lawsuit on SanDisk or Samsung for that. They just want you to spend more money into buying a SDHC card reader.... Truly its the ROM.
ok now i know u r full of shyt. u keep popsting that u have this card and it works but i have yet to see ne photos. u just like the attention u get from lieing through ur teeth. thats pretty sad
i dont know about the 8bg but my 4gb is working no probs,
doesnt matter if its empty, only used 900mb, or any amount in between empty or full, screen grab using SPB explorer of my current card status:
oh and to stop arguments there is no reason why nuclear couldnt download the demo of spb explorer then do a screen grab of his mem card section of memory just like i have in previous post!
so erm, as they say "get your cards out for the lads"
this is the card i got, dont know all the bull**** about this format that format, its slower etc, but this is quicker at loading tomtom sat nav up etc than my other card 1gb puremedia sd card, like i said 4gb, no problems http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SD_MOBYMEMORY_4096_001

Daddy k, what's your ROM version info? My 4GB card won't work at all in my Jasjar. I suspect a ROM upgrade will fix this, can you confirm it? Thanks! Cheers,

I have been using a MyFlash Turbo SD - 4 GB for quite some time. I use it for converted dvd movies, mp3, photos, programs, GPS maps. It is 90% full.
It works very well for me.

8GB SD cards work for some people and doesnt work for other people. The best i know it works in digital cameras.

I don't know that I come to the same conclusion after reading the thread in the link. It seems questionable at best since two of the posters specifically said it did not work for them.
SDHC compliant devices work with SDHC cards, SD devices do not.
You may be lucky to get one that you can read from, but an SD device will not write to it without screwing it up.
The Universal is SD not SDHC

Yo thats a SD card not a SDHC lol. in the email you said SDHD...now you say SDHC... lol
this is total bull, i have came to two conclusions after reading all these post.
1 -now it seems like the only person that sells this specific card that nuclear has is fastmemoryman and he is advertising for him. IF that is the case then i tell u guys not to deal with this scammer cause i bought from him before and was sent a 2 gb card disguised as a 4.
2- Nuclear does indead have a 8 gb card from samsung and is able to put his dvd in it but because sd 2.0 IS backward compatible as i have read it from several sites you are able to use only 4 gb of the 8. so he is putting his dvd in the card but only one movie,
those are the only two possible conclusion there is . so if its not number 1 then its number 2

Yup i think its #2 .... goddamn crossbow screwed up my 8GB card!... Alan knows it. Dont call me a scammer alright... first i am helping you and then you call me a scammer.
Don't bring me into this, I only know what you keep telling me, and what you post here.
I have no way of verifying what you say, one minute things work, one minute they don't, one minute you are developing a crossbow rom, the next you have one from another device.
It might be the language barrier, but half the time it sounds like you tell different stories from one thread to the next.

Lets see now... i think its the language barrier. You didnt learn your english good enough eh. Howcome i understand whatever you post but you dont understand anything that i post. So far there is only one person i know that understands everything i post. I dont even think Akula would understand what i posted. lol Alan ... i will clarify it again to you. my 8gb card got busted! it doesnt work anymore. crossbow screwed it up. i made crossbow by getting it off another device rom and modifying it! see can I be more clear than that?
I am totally out of room on my 2gb. Is there anyone who could recommend a 4gb that will work with the 8525 please.
as far as i know (i'm interested in a 4gb also) the only one available (and its actually not available its only listed on the site as pre-order) is from www.jrs. or something, the link is on here but you'll have to search for it sorry
the sandisk microSDHC 4GB model is supported in the new Windows Mobile 6 ROMS from HTC for the Hermes...
There's lots of people that have 4gb micros. Look in the accessories threads to find out!
If you have a verizon store near you, you can probably pick one up Monday morning.
Oh, by the way, in case you haven't read (which I'm sure you haven't), you need one of the newer builds of WM6.
Edit: Sorry, walshieau, didn't mean to repeat you!

Your answer's in there!! Check your build #!
Or is there any one still working on this? Just what we need to make the BA truly invincible.
Apparently yes. Unless we get the source code from the original driver and some talented programmer to update it, I don't think we will ever have SDHC on BA... :/
I will be willing to donate up to 200 bucks to the guy who will make this possible and make it freely available.
Maybe, we should have a schema for card reader of this device, thanks to this we could replace older by new SDHC card reader. Hope, we would have someone talented.
It's really a shame for this wonderful PDA...
Save your 200 bucks and buy a 4Gb Transcend SD card (non-SDHC) mine works a treat in my BA, 4Gb is heaps of space. I paid around $40AUD including postage on eBay.

Of course, but some of us are really ambitious and want 8 and 16Gb storage cards!!
I have a 8GB SDHC on my Universal, and it makes all the difference...
Presently using 4gb on my BA and seriously short of space, only 150mb left. I have a Universal but with WM6.1, it has virtually no program memory. After installing spb pocket plus/mobile shell, I can't install htc home. I can't even run serious apps without crashing out on memory. A big shame. On the other hand, my BA runs all these and has more than 30mb program memory free. I guess I have to send my Uni to ppctech for a memory upgrade.
I was just about to post asking if anyone knew why the patch, available elsewhere, wasn't working on BA....?
I had thought it was for alll devices running WM6....was something missed out when WM6 for BA was made?
I bought a 4GB SDHC previously for it not knowing it wouldn't work. waste of money and a real shame. Student budget meant I couldn't afford to buy another. Bummer :-(
I'll chuck £10 in for whoever can get this to work.
So that's £210 now. Anyone else keen to add to the pot?
Just to bring this back up to where people will see it ;-)
This has edged beneith the beyond again ;-)
Just nudging it up. SDHC would be *awesome* but is it possible??
Also I'll up my cash to £15 - and for an enpoverished student that's loads!
I'm guessing dead silence with no more discussion means it's not happening and there are technlogical road blocks in the way?
Can someone reply just so I know I'm not alone in the universe?
You are not alone!
I'm here, but I'm not a progger....
maybe I'll make some research on this topic in Summer, but now I'm too busy with exams, sorry!
Maybe this is the solution

I'm tempted to purchase a 16gb Micro SDHC Card -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/16GB-SANDISK-...286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:15|39:1|240:1318
Does the HD support this though?
You could buy a 32GB card if you found one, and it would still work.
Yeah, MicroSDHC are supported in all capacities.
If youd bother to use the search a bit, you would see that they do work.
