Hello all, anyone know what the max card support for the universals sd/mmc reader is
Thanks
Hi there,
If I'm not wrong, the manual says clearly that universal can read/write SD cards up to 2GB (unless someone with a better expertise than me knows something different).
In any case, this is not completely right, many people uses 4GB cards (including me), but it seems that not all the applications can cope with them, photo camera is one of them, if I'm not wrong, it will not save the photos to the SD unless it has 2GB or less free space.
Somewhere else in this forum, someone else said that he even uses a sam..ung 8GB SD card (very expensive).
Hope this helps

Yup i use a 8GB Samsung SD Card to watch DVD's. I dont have the time to encode DVD's to avi xvid format so i just copy them directly to the 8GB card and watch them on the tcpmp player. Quite fun i believe. I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card release by samsung and sandisk.
im using the 4gb 150x sd card from mobymemory (£47) no probs! nice and quick too noticed tomtom load quicker.
also im using the newest qtek rom and the camera stores to card no probs (dont have to have 2gb used as per some other complaints)
Im getting the 4gb Transcend sd card soon.. im currently using 2gb transcend but I soon realized it still isnt enough...the bigger, the better of course
nuclear, I don't understand... how is an 8GB SD card possible??? 4GB should be the absolute max.
Does the Universal support SDHC in one of the newer ROMs or something?

Well the device will always show you 2000MB regardless of the ROM. But you can put more than 2000MB on your 8GB card and it will read all the files and you can use them. Its just that at this part the memory monitor will show your SD card in the negative section or full. All SD Card are compatible in the HTC Universal. Enjoy.
I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card by Samsung and SanDisk
Brain... does... not... compute.
Nuclear, I need more info. What card did you get? What brand? Is it SD or SDHC? How did you format it?
What's different about the Universal that makes it possible?!?

Its a SD. Samsung 150X 8GB SD Card for $200 or so. I formatted it when i insert it into the Universal. Then i hooked it up to my PC. Transfered a DVD into it. And then back into the Universal and it played the DVD!!!
Hmmm I got one of these

MUCH faster transfers when you put it straight in your PC. I'm thinking of getting the new 2Gb version soon

iv currently got every single photo we have on our laptop of the kids (thousands) on the card. all my non vital apps, i just have handy menu, journal bar and a few others staying in the phones memory
then dumped the movies, saw3, world trade centre, happy feet and jackass2 on the card, plus tomtom uk & euro maps and still got just under a gig left

My Universal screwed up my precious 4GB SanDisk Extreme III card and my 8GB Samsung. Literally it made my 8GB to 2GB and my 4GB to 2GB. I lost 6GB of space on my 8GB card into nothing. I am contacting tech support all day and this is what they posted. THE MAX IS 2GB!!!! >>>>>.<<<<< scary ;(

I was going through the SD specifications, and it looks like that SD 1.1 could support up to 64GB (!!!) using 32KB clusters.
Unfortunately, this won't ever happen, since SD 2.0 flags anything above 2GB as a memory error.
8GB should be possible because FAT32 defaults to 4KB clusters, which would match. Larger capacity would need reformating to match the larger SD clusters, but technically it should be possible, IMHO.
So probably some of the Samsung OEMs do work at 8GB using SD 1.1. But I'm seeing the new auctions say SD 2.0 compatible only.
Oh well, I can live with 4GB, but I hope Windows Mobile adds support for SDHC and MMCplus.
Nuclear, the 4GB Sandisk I believe is SDHC, so it will probably screw things up. The 8GB Samsung you could probably reformat on your PC.
If you have an SDHC and an SD USB reader, use the SD one, as the SDHC one might force you down to 2 GB.
Hey, it's just my guess from reading the specs.

My SanDisk 4GB Extreme III is a SDHC? I was sure i bought a SD only. It says SD on it....
As for my 8GB my PC detects it as only 2GB. Reformatted and again only 2GB. I know another way to fix it. Partition MagiC!!! I lost 6GB in partition space. And same with the other 4GB card. Once i partition it every 2GB it will make 3 cards in 1 . Well stay tuned and i will let you know how paritioning the space helped.
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?

Would you be able to provide the link to that 8GB miniSDHC card?
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.......
Later
Can anyone recommend a good SD card? I was thinking of buying a Sandisk Ultra II 2Gb SD card.
Also, a new format of SD card has appeared. It is called SDHC and is not backwards compatible with 'old' SD devices, despite being physically identical to the standard SD cards. This new technology pushes card capacity to 8Gb!
I know for sure that some digital camera manufacturers have released a firmware upgrade to make some of their models compatible with SDHC. Perhaps this can be done on Prophet as well.
Just got a 4 GB SDHC card and it's useless on my 818 pro. From what i've learned here, the 818 pro only takes the old 4GB SD card. I suggest you try it 1st if the vendor will allow you.
I agreed .
I USED to 2G kingmax SD
what kind of SD
I use a Transcend 150x 4 GO.
I forget all usb key.
I just purchased a t-mobile mda off ebay and it came with only a 64MB miniSD card. What is the largest size miniSD card the phone will recognize? Will it recognize the miniSDHC cards? Thanks in advance.
Some people have got 4gb mini sd cards working in their devices. Other people can only handle 2 gb cards.

Yes I experienced the same thing. I purchased a 4gig minisd card but it would not even read the card as if it wasn't there. After that, I purchased a 2gig and that worked fine.
I think the problem with some of those 4gig minisd cards is that they are dual-partition and the Wizard(to the best of my knowledge) does not support dual partition sd cards like other PPC's such as the TyTN II.
Why don't just have a look into the accessories section instead of a new thread? ... you will find a couple of other threads about the topic already!
BTW, miniSDHC are not supported!

I actually dual partitioned mine myself using wm5storage and it works fine that way. As far as I know, nobody's actually figured out why 4 Gb cards work for some people and not for others and their are still others that they work for but the cards constantly get corrupted. I'm part of the latter group, but since I've been using a newer version of a cooked WM6 the card hardly corrupts at all anymore.
Hi , I need help my S200 Can't find my 8gb memory stick.
for what i've read in some site the s200 doesn't support the sdhc card.
That's right, the Prophet doesn't have any SDHC-capable hardware and can't be upgraded to SDHC with a driver-package! Forget it, 4 GB Non-SDHC is the highest possible space!
So SDHC will not work at all even if i buy 4 gb SDHC?
It won't work you must buy non-sdhc card.
the highest it can support is 2gb

I think it can handle 4GB SD Cards... The only limitation is that it must be regular SD and not SD HC...
I had used a 4 GB SD-Card (Non-SDHC!!!) from Transcend with no problems!
