Its what I do, but i dont find anything, either in te use manual...if you know something just let me know

I have been using a 2GB miniSD card on my MDA/HTC Wizard w/o any problems. I have heard some people use 4GB miniSD too.
Cheers!

yeah they do work. i have 2 2gb memory cards. i use one for music and the other for movies. i just stick the other one between the battery and the battery cover. comes in handy

Mine works fine too. Sandisk

watabout transcend?,s it a good brand?

i use a sandisk 2gb, it works perfect

I don't know if it's the best, but I'm sure it's very good
Transcend x80 2GB & 512MB work great out of the box.

I bought one of these from Newegg recently for $40 and it works fine.

I just got a 2GB SanDisk MiniSd for my Wizard but it is not bing detected in the device! It works perfectly on my PC's card reader and I'm not sure what to do
EDIT: Why is it as soon as I post it fixes itself? I put in a different MiniSD and then swapped back to my other one and it worked fine :S

To my knowledge 4GB miniSD cards aren't available yet, but if I am wrong I would love to know where to obtain one.

This forum even helps in mysterious ways .

Ah, hadn't seen this question come up yet this week, so I figured it was about time for some one to ask it with out searching again.
Of course 2gb work. Why wouldn't they?
There are no 4gb cards right now. Any for sale are fradulent cards using a trick formatting technique that makes them appears as though they have 4gb of space, when in actuality they don't. If you try and use them/format them, they will not work at all.

4GB cards are on their way but they are a new HCSD format which requires a firmware update to function correctly. The HCSD specification allows for up to 32GB of data space which is a hell of a lot. I just wonder if read write times will be hit with ruch high capacity single chip systems. Current 32GB notebook flash drives use eight chips to keep I/O performance up.

As far as I know the only difference between 'normal' and HCSD cards is the filesystem: FAT16 versus the newer FAT32. The Wizard can handle FAT32 so my guess is it will handle HCSD cards just as well.

my K-Jam works fine with my Kingston 2 gig miniSD. But my MPx220 doesn't read it properly and neither does my PC.

Hmmm... If you say so... I don't have much information about it. I know all 4GB+ cards use FAT32 and work fine in most PDAs. The main problem I have had is with digital cameras which are mostly FAT16.

Does Athena support 4 GB miniSD-cars?

In other words: Do Athena support SDHC/Secure Digital 2.0?
Thanks!

Maximum size it supports is 4 GB mini-sd.
I haven't tried yet, as I got a free 2GB card with my purchase

in a famous german PPC forum it was stated that it actually DOES support 4gb sdhc. users have tried it there and 4gb sdhc (i think from transcend) definetely worked.
if it does support higher sdhc like 8gb? only time will tell.
and 4gb non-sdhc cards work too, i use one in my athena.

Excellent! Just ordered a 4 GB mini-SDHC card.

That is what I got with my Ameo purchase

The Athena is SDA 2.0 SDHC compliant, so MiniSDHC up to 32GB will be supported.
8GB MiniSDHC has already been spotted, 16 soon to follow...and so on.
For now 4GB is working fine!!

link?

I am using a Transcend 4 gb Mini SD HC card without any problems.

I am having nothing but problems here. My 4gb will allow me to transfer and save files to it via activesync, but they all dissappear from it as soon as a/s is disconnected! I also tried saving them to the microdrive and then doing a cut-and-paste to the card, but they all dissappeared again!
Any info would be good......Later
UPDATE: I tried using my pc and d/l ing files to the card with it out of my X7500 and in the card reader, and they all save,open, and run fine once it is put back into the device! I tried both the 1 gb card I had and the 4gb card I purchased this way,and both worked! This must be a problem with the rom IMHO.Hmmm.......

maximum SD size for HTC Magician ?

Hi! Does anyone know if Magician supports a 4GB SD card ? (I've tried a 2GB one, works fine and I'd like to buy a 4GB now).
Also, what about the new high-capacity HCSD ones ? (there are already some 8GB cards available). Is Magician able to read/write on those too ?
Many thanks.

4 GB max
SDHC cards dont work on magician.

hmmm, do you know which "model" is it (ie the 40x one, the 120x, etc). Please take a look at the link below (from the official Transcend site) it gives up to 2GB compatible size ... (strange) ... (my unit is the Qtek S100)
http://www.transcend.com.tw/Support...D=Qtek&ModelID_F=&ModelID=S100+PocketPC+Phone
Anyone else had any compatibility problems with 4GB SD cards of other brands ? I tried one today from a friend which is a 4GB SD (brand "A-Data", standard SD, non a SDHC one) and the S100 can't read it.
Many thanks.

Good to know that !! This old horse can still do a lot !!

My Transcend card is NOT the high-speed one.
Frankly, I don't think the high speed makes any difference on the XDA II Mini at all.

I'm also using the 4gb transcend. It's the slower model and I can definitely noticed the difference when it's connected to my pc through a card reader, but it's not so noticeably on my magician.

Hmm. I've just ordered a 4GB Sandisk [FONT=&quot]Ultra II card for my JAM. I hope I've not made a blunder!!
Will report back when it arrives.

Maximum Storage Card Size

Can anybody tell me what is the maximum capacity of a microSD card that the Hermes can take? I want to buy the biggest it will support!
Thanks

With the newest cooked WM6 Roms, the hermes now supports SDHC cards. Thus, it should work with any of the newest SDHC MicroSD cards. The size limit is currently 4GB b/c that is the largest Micro SD card available. It should work fine with the 8GB cards when they hit the market. I currently use a 4GB Sandisk MicroSD and it works perfectly.

second that, 4gb micro sandisk. anyone find them cheaper than $100 at verizon stores? i scoured the web hard to find in stock

thnx, i probably will buy a 4gb microsd now

Best I can find is new w/ SD adapter for $70 shipped on Amazon.com from a merchant with decent ratings.

I don't know this merchant, never dealt with them so buy at your own risk

Q on 4Gb SD Micro SD Card
Hey guys,
I use an XDA Orbit which i got from UK, had the ROM upgraded to tom codon's B&B 3.5 and now going for the 3.7 version. I currently uses a 512MB SD. So I was thinking of getting a 2GB SD, but seeing that eBAy has 4GB ones I thought to get that one.
Here is the problem, I was wonderin whether it will support 4GB. can any one who had used a 4Gb tell me does it support in an orbit running WM6 B&B PDViet 3.7. How's the file transfer rate and all that. If by any chance the orbit supports a 4GB card, which type exactly, I mean the HC ones, I really donno what that is, I read it in the forum somewhere. so pls tell me.........
Cheers.

What's an Orbit?? This is Hermes area.

"With the newest cooked WM6 Roms, the hermes now supports SDHC cards. Thus, it should work with any of the newest SDHC MicroSD cards. The size limit is currently 4GB b/c that is the largest Micro SD card available. It should work fine with the 8GB cards when they hit the market. I currently use a 4GB Sandisk MicroSD and it works perfectly."
I think the cooked ROM's that now have SDHC capability are truly awesome. I use an X500 (ETEN) and I'm extremely jealous, as we don't have that capability yet !!
My question: do these new SDHC ROM's also have the ability for backwards compatibility ? That is, if you insert a 2Gb FAT16 card in the slot, will the O/S read/write OK ?

Resurrecting an old post so I don't hear "use the search funcion"...
Anyone tried one of the new 16gb cards with their Hermes?
Looking to upgrade for my BB, but want a card compatible w/ my Hermes as well...

4GB in use,i think 8GB is supported.

16Gb reported to work too, can't say as I only use an 8Gb. No probs there though...

I updated to one of the wm6.1 ROMs & i use a 16GB microSD in my Hermes (MDA Vario II)

Fat32 is the key
Since a card is formatted under FAT32 filesystem, its limit is 2 Terabytes if it is formatted with 64k clusters or 8 Terabytes under 32kb per cluster.
Of course, the actual memory card is limited to 16gb but upgraded every year.

microSDHC cards on Advantage via micro to mini adaptor?

I'm looking to finally jump in and pick up an Advantage, but would like to skip the micro-sd format. If I pick up a 4GB microSDHC card with adaptor so it can be used in a miniSD slot, like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134528
...is there any reason the Advantage wouldn't read it? Has anyone tried this?
Thanks,
Galt

I use microSD with adaptor. It work

Thanks, good to know.

Is there any reason you don't just buy a 4Gb MiniSD? That's what I have in my Athena and I use it alongside the MicroDrive.

I kinda feel like mini is already a dead format, most new HTC devices use micro, so I don't want to invest in it. Also, I'm buying the Advantage as kind of a temporary device, I think I'll be replacing it in less than a year with a device that likely uses micro. If I bought mini it'd be a waste.

I'm sure they will have changed format again in a year! LOL

Maximum Capacity for mini is 4gb, whereas it is 6gb for micro at the moment..

Now that is a reason - if you want 6Gb now.I have a 4Gb Mini in my Athena now and if I get a device that takes Micro in a years time I'm sure larger capacites will be available.
And it does beg the question 'Can the Advantage read 6Gb cardsor is 4Gb the max'. Am I right in presuming that if it can read a4Gb SDHC (as opposed to SD) card, then it should be able to read a 6GB SDHC card OK?
Has anyone actually tried a 6Gb card?
And if they do work am I going to buy one. I know I shouldn't but.....

I'm using a Kingston 4GB SDHC with a mini adapter on my Dopod U1000 (still original firmware). Performance is faster than the in-build Microdrive. 4GB is the smallest SDHC capacity. It is not a problem to use a 6GB or even the 8GB SDHC from Kingston.

How is this possibe? SDHC is bigger than miniSDHC. How is it possible to insert the bigger size SDHC into the smaller miniSDHC slot?

He said SDHC, which has the 8 GB capacity. The largest microSDHC capacity is only 6 GB, so I think this is not what he meant.

Not so fast.. 8GB MicroSD has already been announced, and will be hitting stores soon, if not already.. MicroSD is also SDHC Compatible. Besides have you ever thought he OP, might have missed/left a word out?

Correct, OP meant to say he wanted to use micro to mini adaptor to avoid miniSD format.

I'm not aware that kingston already sells 8gb microSDHC. That's good news if this is true. Any head up on where I can source this? Samsung's is still vapourware (2008 availability) AFAIK.

Samsung, Sandisk and Toshitba all have plans for 8GB in the works.
One of them will be selling soon, as opposed to 1-2 yrs from now..

Sorry for the confusion. I have a Kingston 4GB microSDHC in a mini adapter on my Dopod U1000 (original firmware). My friend has a SanDisk 6GB microSDHC (bought in the US) also in a mini adapter on his Dopod U1000 (upgraded to Dopod WM6). The Kingston 6GB microSDHC is expected in the stores in Kuala Lumpur around Christmas (according to the local distributor) and the 8GB microSDHC sometime Q2 2008.

When I bought mine just a couple of months ago, they only had 4 GB max. Soon, we'll have double that amount. Wow, this is just fantastic. As big as our harddrive! What speed class would it be I wonder. I'm going to put all my musics in there. Currently I'm constrained by the lack of capacity, and am using multiple miniSD to swap in and out. In future I won't need to do that anymore.

8 GB available in UK NOW
8 GB available in UK NOW yep carphone wherehouse are selling 8GB micro sd's now 70.00GBP so we can have 16gig in total WOW i want one once confirmed these work with athena unless i get the shift.....
