8 gb is a possiblity for universal? is nuclear right?

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,

hope that can be of some help to anyone

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?

Well 4 GB or 8 GB cards r kinda big for p3400
such big cards will slow down gene, since it has very slow Processor already.
but u can go for 2 GB card...its good...and cheap also...coming in Rs 200 only.
i will recommend you Kingston or Transcend's card...they r best

^Thats a myth, Storage card never slows down phones. I am using a 4G card and my phone works just fine as it was like with 2GB. Your phone slows down when you put too much stuff in one folder. Apps like Pictures and Videos tend to slow down with this as they have a large amount of data to sort through before displaying it to you. But if you arrange your stuff in folders well, it wont slow down you phone.
GENE supports micro SD, Mini SD, SDHC and SDHO cards of upto 32 GB in size. 8 GB SD would be a good one to go with. Just make sure its an SD Card.

Thanks Sir..!!!
i am going to Buy a Kingston 8 gb as soon as possible i get my Pocket money...!!
But please tell me tat is it is going to work for my New Phone..as it is Just 27 days Old..!!
i have not even installed a Simple program in it...!!
And not even thought of flashing it wit some new ROM or Something......!!
Thanks ...!!

Yes its gonna work perfectly fine. If you are in doubt then try to convince the shop keeper to let you check the card first for proper working, or try someone else's card if thats available. I have full confidence that it will work but whats the problem is checking if it is possible. I myself have only tested upto 4GB.

I am also using a 4 GB Kingston SD Card with absolutely no performance issue so far. Come one with around 3 GB of songs, do I have a choice .

Okk....Thank u sir...!!

There's one more request..to u sir..please tell me is there any chances that my........PDA can be infected from virus....If No then its okk...!!

I am also not very old to Windows mobile but i haven't heard of any viruses for it. I think, for now there is nothing to be worried about.
For increasing volume of MP3 ringtones, Use MP3Gain. Download it from here:
http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/download.php
Its a very good software for increasing sound non-destructively. That means that if you anytime use it to decrease the volume of a file that you previously increased, it wont affect its quality in any way.

Re: Antivirus
Yeah, I have been using a smartphone for around one and a half year with lots of net access, no virus so far. Actually what I found from most forums is that virus in WM is a hoax.

thank you sir for the info on sd and viruses

thanks u sir for the INfo....!!

Well, there are viruses for WM as a report by the McAfee.
But, if you know what you are installing, then you won't get infected.
Not much chances of infecting as very less viruses are there. So, see first what you are installing.

Anyone know if the 32 gb card is compatible with the jade? I've got a 4 gb and an 8 gb and they both work fabulously with my jade. Don't know if the 32 gb would work as well. Thanks in advance!

Its supposed to be compatible, but I dont think a 32gb microsd has been released yet I think they are due in 2010?

Hi, im not actullay looking for 32gb on my touch 3g, not yet anyway , im just answering the question to the previouse post . Although videos would probaby eat up 8gb of memory rather quicky.

I used to run a 16Gb card on my Jade and it worked perfectly, until I installed the official HTC upgrade! After that it wouldn't find the card or work for a while before loosing it. I phoned HTC who said that the Jade is only approved for up to 4Gb. I've had to go back to a 4Gb to ensure stability.
If you haven't done the update, there's a good chance that the 32Gb will work (haven't tried it so can't be sure) but if you have I'm pretty sure it won't work.
In short I really regret doing the upgrade as I haven't noticed any major improvements, just the lose of my 16Gb card!

hi
thanks buddy i dont load videos of any kind on my phone so look like 4GB or max 8 would be more than enough for me
thanks again buddy for the clarification

2 sd cards

did you know the internal memory is a 2gig SD card check out this vid bellow
taking a streak to bits but turn down the sound don't know what lingo it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxcib-ricec

Total strip-down to replace? Takes a braver man than me!

i think the real question is why would you need to change the internal one. 2gb of app storage is pretty damn awesome to say the least i mean im only using 285mb and ive got over 100apps installed

That is true plenty enough just read about someone putting a 32gig as the internal memory and he has a 32gig sd card so he has 64 gig

32GB class 1 would be slow for apps/performance. for storage its alright so if you want a higher capacity for internal app storage, get a speedier 16gig card or wait for better 32gig cards.

SDhc problem.

Hello!
I just got my new SD HC (32Gb) card for my htc HD2 device, but im getting weird crashes when i just put some Gb of for example music. It deletes some of it, or changes it to thousands of 0byte weird files..
Can someone help?
/card wasnt expensive and its not Kingston or so./

I'm really not certain about this, but their a limit on the size SD card our hd2's can support. (Either 16 or 32gb which is what I'm uncertain of) try formatting your new SD card into two 16 gb partitions and then see what happens.
Hopefully either that helps or someone with more knowledge than I will comment and give you a better answer

Well the limit is definitely not 16gb because I have one of those and it works fine in Android but it for some reason cannot boot SD Android. Also, if I'm not mistaken MarkAtHome (I've seen him in many of the NAND threads, especially NexusHD2) has a 64GB SDXC card as he was posting something about that a while ago. He'd have to confirm though.

Where did you get your memory card?? You son are a victim of false advertisement. I purposely purchased a "cheap" 16GB sd card from ebay and it wasnt even bigger than like 300MB. There are ways to fake the memory size, and thats why when you try to put the music on your card is says its not there because there truly isnt any physical memory available. And also why it gives those weird readouts. Sorry to bust the news :/

Yes. You set up two partitions 32 gb each.

There have been threads discussing how certain sd cards do not perform well in android devices, including the HD2. It has to do with some of the access times the cards are rated at.
I have tested a 32gb patriot class 10 card in the HD2 and samsung vibrant that made both phones freeze and run terribly slow until the card was removed.
Sandisk cards run flawlessly in the HD2 and I have only been using them for the past year, including a 32gb and a 64gb SDXC. The 64gb must be formatted as fat32 inside the phone before it can be used, but the full 64gb is available.

I agree with elesbb. Infact the same thing had happened to me about 4 years ago. What they do it put a memory hack in the SD card fooling it to think there is more memory. I would say if you bought it from ebay contact the seller first and
tell them you think it might be fake and you wish to get a real card asap. If they don't send you one or sound like they may be un-willing to then you should report them. Here's some information found on ebay's site about fake memory cards.
If you bought it from a different online seller you should still contact them about it and say you did some research and believe you recieved a counterfit item. In the link i shared above there are a few examples of how to spot fake cards including some pictures if you go through the links. I've read somewhere that if you have a sandisk and the class rating is in the corner then you more then likly have a counterfit one. Sandisk's class ratings should be centered in the middle of the SD card.

Okay, i've just sent email to him, hopefully he will just re-send me new, (working..?) or give money back!
