I just got an 8Gb Samsung OEM 8Gb 150x SD card for my 02 Exec, but the XDA doesn't recognise the card, it just says there's no card installed. My PC can read and write to it find.
Can anyone shed light on this? Is there a max of 4Gb, is it the brand of card or do I need to do something on the XDA? I don't remember doing anything for my 4Gb cards, so I don't think it's the latter
I do hope it's not a 4Gb limit, as that means that not only will the 8Gb card work, but also it means the 16Gb and 32Gb cards Samsung say they will have on the market by the end of the year won't work which will be a major pain
Cheers
Is it an SD, or SDHC? If it's the latter, it will not work.
If it's only SD, there have been many problems with cards above 4gb in many devices, not just PPC devices.
The success rate is not that high.
Ah, I see. It's SDHC. What's the difference? Is it worth returning and changing for a normal SD?
SDHC is high capacity, it requires fundamental different changes that can't be done via software updates to your device, so it will never work with it.
So yeah, I would exchange it. Personally, having seen the amount of problems people have had with 8gb cards, I would go for a 4gb standard SD.
Oh well. The idea was to get as much music on it to save me having to buy an MP3 player but I guess that's not going to work.

4GB of music is approximately 4000 minutes (give or take) which gives you 67 hours of music!
I guess when you're done listening, you can copy another 4GB should take you some time to listen to all of this!
Why buy a device for a function you already have.
If anyone is still there I havve a problem. When I tried to update it. i think it failed and got stuck on the serial v1.00 botloader. Luckily I found a way to fix that. May one of you please supply the 1.30.79 WWE QTEK-TMobile rom please I cannot find it. Also I ahve a 4gb that's not working with my device. Could it be possible that my rom is to old and the update for 4gb cards haven't been set in place fo r that rom? This the only time I've heard of a 4g card not working. Please help. I think its a 2005 rom
Hello guys, i've just bought a vodafone v1605 Hermes, after having a bit of fun with it i've bought a microSDHD 4GB cause i wished to install TomTom...
I've inserted it, and after going on settings/memory or file explorer, i couldn't see the extended memory =(
I've tried shutting down the device and turning it back on... but nothing to do... (i've also tried to remove and insert it several times)
After that i've tested it with the adaptor on my PC and it works! =/
Strange thing...
Than i remembered that somewhere someone was talking about the fact that it's needed WM6 to see microSDHD on the device, so i've installed blacksatin, last radio version and last spl but nothing to do... my device can't see the SD card... =(
Now i'm guessing if it may be possible that my device microSD reader is broken... but i really hope not!
Has someone else had this issue?
Is there something i forgot to do? some setting, or something to flash on the device?
Just to assure that it isn't a microSD reader problem, today i'm going to buy a microSD 256mb, let's hope it will see the extended memory card..
All suggestions are appreciated... Thanks!
I had a similar problem after first buying a micro sd. The cause is from pushing it too far in. The hermes micro sd slot is deeper than the sd card is supposed to be put in (by about 1mm). If you insert it until around half a mm is still pertruding it should be ok.
Thanks for the suggestion OdeeanRDeathshead i've tried also this solution... but nothing to do... =(
Just for curiosity, when i insert the microSD and i'm in memory page, should i see it immediatly if the device recognize it? or i've to reboot or "reload" the page?
Ty!
Ok, yesterday afternoon i went to buy a new microSD 1Gb (great offer, i've paid it 13 euros for a promotion) and it works without any problem... so now i really can't understand why the device can't read the 4Gb...
It is an orginal SanDisk MicroSDHC 4Gb... =/
My only doubt is that the device can't recognize this high capacity SD... =(
Am sure I read elsewhere that you need to format the card in a PC card reader (SDHC capable) and then put it in the phone and format again - or something like that.

MicroSDHC cards are not compatible with some WM5 ROMS. What ROM are you using?
Will it support SDHC cards now?
no, sorry.
tried it already, it failed
BA hardware device isn't compatible with SDHC
do we know this for absolute fact? reason I ask is that the hermes didn't recognize hc cards until wm6 and its drivers supported them.. thought this wm6 might have brought along support for the BA as well
tried NOT WORKING

From what I understand from the Universal forum, the ability to use SDHC cards is software related, not hardware. Thats why in the latest version of WM6 for the Universal, there is full support for SDHC cards. Someone just has to modify the driver to support them.
SDHC
has anyone with a SDHC tried this driver:

.....just happen to come across it, so try at your own risk!

hey i had tried this driver and it removes the normal sd card driver so any who is going to try first take a backup. Im not sure about sdhc as i dont own it yet so plz someone having HDSC plz try this its from HTC.
that would be cool.. I will love to have a 50Euros 8Gb SDHC card in my BA

I installed this cab on on my 2nd BA (this is my test platform), and it doesn't seem to work. It replaces the SD card driver, so that it won't even recognize normal SD cards, or SDIO cards. I think that the SD hardware that this drivers was written for must be different. I'll keep playing with it, but I suspect that this is not the answer.
-C
This driver is for Eten X500 it will not work on BA
So all along i thought it was a hardware problem, i should put a hold on buying one of those 4gb sd and wait for this.
I have a Topram 8GB SDHC, when ever you guys find a driver for the BA just let me know, i'll test it and report back here.
For SDHC to work on BA, the SDHC driver must be extracted from the same processor device. That is what I see on the ETEN SDHC driver that it was applied from another Samsung processor device.
- TKN
Hardware-wise closest device should be Universal which does have working SDHC now. But if the PXA27x is too much different from BA's PXA263 then it will be impossible.
Does This Work With Ba?
I Found This Cab. Does It Work?
where did u find this?
did you find it with any relations to universal or htc devices?
tested it and it didn't work!
no its from asus pda
Do you think maybe Axim50v driver will work? or 'WM 6 Professional Images' from MS? (was just wondering...)
Something to keep in mind about the larger sized cards...
In my experience, the larger the card, the slower the access.
When the angel was designed, I really doubt that anyone knew that cards of the sizes available now would be available, not to mention that the SD driver in our phone is pretty old.
When I first got my 4 gig card, I noted that accessing data from the card was much slower than the system memory. That speed drop all but went away after I partitioned the card into two smaller 'cards'.
That being said, SDHC is the new standard, and having the ability to read and write to these cards, even if it's not any faster, would be a good thing.
Found this cab on Axim forum.

I can test it, i don't have a SDHC card.
I have searched on here and read the various threads on SDHC cards and I am still none the wiser
In the Wizard Accessories forum there is a 5-page thread about users experiences with what does and doesn't work - the problem is there is contradicting information. I thought I was getting somewhere with later units supporting SDHC and earlier ones not (serial numbers), however half way through the thread someone with an older Wizard says they have it working.....
Are there any difinitive answers to whether 4GB SDHC cards work in the Wizard, and if so does it need to be a G4, does it need to be manufactured after a certain date etc?
I have two Wizards (s/n: SZ602EE0xxxx and HT544EExxxx), both currently with 1GB SD cards (Danelec I think?). I am reluctant to buy any 4GB cards unless I know they are going to work.
Thanks
Andy
AFAIK some WM6 ROM with build .1921 includes drivers that should support SDHC cards but since I don't have a SDHC card on hand cannot test ...
or have a look here:

[removed by me]
ok to clarify this, (im going to get flame at least once for this) SDHC cards will only work with devices that have the drivers for SDHC cards. This does not have to do with the hardware but if we cant get the drivers to talk to the hardware there is no support. we have the right hardware but no drivers and if it was a hardware problem then SDHC cards would not be the same as a SD card.
And can someone test that rom (not hopping it works but it might)
[removed by me]
I've got a 4gb SDHC card sitting here, and the latest TNT release (1921 base). Obviously, it does not currently work. Let me know what I need to do to try!

The first page of theloon 7.2 ROM kitchen shows it working. I run this ROM, but I dont have a SDHC yet. I'll post there to see if anyone has had success.
Resurect this thread....
I am desperately running out of SD card space and would like to now 'upgrade' to a 4GB (or bigger?) SDHC card. I would like some testemonials of users who have had sucess with SDHC cards and what Wizard version and ROM you are running.
As I said I am reluctant to just buy a SDHC card and see if it works as it will be a waste of money if it doesn't.

count me in
just bought a 2gb sd card for 25€ over here but i need more space ^^
transcend sells the fastest sd mini cards as far as i tested them..
from hardware point of view the wizard device can handle this SDHC cards
as they use the same slot and hardware a usb cardreader has..
its just a matter of drivers or maybe just a registrysetting..
my guess its a combination of a new driver with enhancements for SDHC
and some registrysettings...
knowing windows they probably allready implented it in OS at least in WM6
and it be just a question of finding the right driver with the right settings..
my 4gig sdhc is coming in early next week, then I can test..
keep us informed on how it works please .. if it works that is ^^
Read this! It is only a matter of drivers and reg settings. Someone has created a cab with appropriate drivers and reg entries for testing somewhere on the xda forum.

So you can confirm this works? That's all I want. There are LOTS of varying reports on SDHC cards working & not working. I don't want to buy one and then realise it doesn't work. It's all right posting drivers and links to MS updates but that doesn't confirm anything. I want hard evidence.....

I tried it and it doesn't work.
• Support for Video over IP telephony calls
• Support for the Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM) and ActiveSync in the VoIP Home Screen and VoIP Contacts applications
• Secure Digital (SD) bus driver that supports SDHC specification 2.00 functionality, such as Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) cards
Support for Extended File Allocation Table (ExFAT) and FAT32 on the x86 BIOS Loader, which provides access beyond 2 gigabytes (GB) of hard disk space.
this is probably the issue with ur 4gb card..
the bios of the wizard wont be able to acces beyond 2gb
but...
now that you have this 4gb card can you do us all a favor ?
here is the thing:
if u have a cardreader that reads the card on the pc just put it in the pc
otherwise put it in the wizard and start wm5torage and connect it as a
non-removable class and write enabled and start the thing and connect it to pc..
when connected goto computer and right click My Computer and choose manage.. in that window goto Disk Managment ..
in there you see this drive which is on the sd card, its shown as a drive
rightclick on the part next to it where it shows the volume on the drive
(it says Healty when correct and the driveletter it got assigned)
choose delete partition
now u have a empty flashdisk
format it in fat16 but.. :-> dont give it a name and set it to 2gb and do not assign a driveletter
now there is a space left of <1gb
format this too fat16 no name, no drive letter, no other stuff but plain format
now if all is correct and these two drives are there you can disconnect it.
unplug the cardreader (with the remove hardwarebutton in systray)
or if u got it in your wizard , shut down pc and take wizard out after it shut down
then release the wm5torage driver and close it and remove card and insert it
back again..
u can check for errors with pocket mechanic professional..
little warning though : do not do this with non branded fake 4gb cards as it
renders it useless probably..( these cards that are 2gb and reformated to hold 4gb)

Thanks for highlighting my point - some Wizard owners say they work, others say they don't. Even though it's only about UK £20, it's still wasted money if it doesn't work.....

it will work if someone can port wm6 r2 to the wizard
and i had it work with a 4gb sd mini card which wasnt SDHC
the site i bought it doesnt have them anymore ..
it seems it is an "out of specs" sd card hence there not sold here,
but maybe we can find a store that has these cards..
one more thought is that it maybe read the SDHC card as well if we
keep its volume space to a max of 2gb..
multiple volumes on a storage card works fine on a t-mobile stock rom
not tried it on others..
nevertheless ur right about the part that no-one is willing to buy something that doesnt work hence we need to test and try...
or as i would say :
Plug 'n Pray ©
guys, just wait until Monday or Tuesday, you will get a full report
let's start a poll, which ROM should be used for testing
I Have read plenty of threads on xda, and searched the htcwiki and have found no conclusive evidence. I have heard that it's only software differences between sd and sdhc and i've heard it's hardware. All I want to see are reports of working sdhc cards on the Wizard and only the wizard, if their are any. If anyone has one to post if they could PLEASE post:
1. Size of card
2. Brand of card
3. Rom
4. S/N (HT618xxxxxxx only 2 letters and 3 numbers)
5. Any registry edits/CAB Files/Hacks/Dlls
I understand some people have strong feelings about this, I only want confirmed working SDHC posts anything else is as useless as the other indecisive threads. If there are no working instances, there should be no posts. Thank you very much, I'm sorry if I come off frustrated but arguing back and forth is useless, only working evidence will prove it to me, if there is none then i am convinced it's a hardware problem.
p.s. If any are found working, where u purchased the card would be great too thanks
p.s.s. I have researched this a little bit, if you have any definitive information on SDHC cards (not 4gb standard SD) for use with the wizard I'd appreciate it
Well, if you will look 2 sub-forums down under the Wizard forum, you will find the topic that you are looking for....2 seconds of searching would have solved your problem.
Here is the link-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297324
You see, I did see that post, 2 seconds of reading it would inform you that i have a different question. That post says SDHC does not work, while many will say it does, i'm asking for examples of WORKING SDHC cards, besides that SD cards only go to 2gb. 4 gb SD cards are fake/hacked or non compliant, that's according to www.sdcard.org, the official on these matters. SanDisk doesn't even make them, nor does any other reputable brand. I've done some homework on this one, thanks for trying to help anyways.
Here's my take on it:
The Wizard does not support SDHC.
There are some 4GB cards that are not SDHC but some in-between standard that came out before SDHC was settled on.
Some Wizards support 4GB cards that use this in-between standard.
So the trick will be finding some of those cards and hoping you have one of the Wizards that can support it. I seriously doubt anyone is making 4GB cards that use that in-between standard anymore since SDHC has become a standard.
Personally I think the mini-sd slot on the Wizard is generally flaky. I have to re-insert my card numerous times to get it to read, and there are some 2GB cards that don't read at all, whereas the 1GB cards seem to always work. 2GB is not enough if you're running TomTom (whose maps take up over 1GB).
Sounds like a pretty good take to me. I have a 2 gb card and it seems to work pretty well actually, i wanted something larger so i could use it as my mp3 player as well. I guess i'll try to find a working 4 gig and hope my wizard supports it... Thanks for your input.
Sounds good, if you find one that works, please let me know, I'm very interested! Mine starts with HTC626 which I haven't seen on the other threads (I've seen HTC616 but not HTC626). Good luck!
