Hermes devices only use micro sd cards
Mike
Thanks for that Mike. Can you just clear one more thing for me please. I can only use a 2gb micro sd card with the M3100 or will these new 4gb micro sd HC cards work?

They are not long out and I have not heard any feedback yet. You could have a look around in the Hermes Accessories board it was being discussed there.

4GB Micro !!
I just tried one in my Cingular 8525. The device reads 1 GB only. I thought I had a defective card, so I replaced it with another but still it read 1GB. Then I placed a 2GB. It read it as 2 GB. ( 1.93 GB ). Not sure why it couldn't read the 4 though.

This could be because of the way the card is formatted.
I would format using a card reader in a PC to:
FAT32 using 512k sectors size.
if problems remain I have seen a suggestion that you could partition the disk to have 2 X 2Gb partitions.

My O2 mini is currently working ok with a 1GB SD card. However when I try to use a 2GB SD card, it always pops up the message "Do you want to try to format this storage card to make it readable? This will permanently delete any files on the card. Yes. No."
After I go ahead and format it, it says "This storage card has been successfully formatted". But the card does not show up in File Explorer. Also on removal and re-insertion of the card it shows the Formatting message all over again and again. This card is a "MyFlash Turbo" Card purchased from Singapore and it works perfectly fine in my USB card reader. I've tried copying files onto the card using the card reader. When I load this card in my O2 mini it again pops up the formatting option. When I format it in the O2 and try to read it through the card reader, the windows OS now tells me that this card is not formatted.
I don't know what to make of this. Can any one give me a solution to make the card recognized by my O2 mini?
Best Regards
same problem here bought my card in singapore too... some people have reported it to work. Would appreciate if someone could figure it out.
Maybe it's a specific brand that does not work?

Well that's what I thought, but this card seems to work ok through the card reader so I can't figure out if it's card or the xda mini which is at fault ??? Meanwhile my xda mini accepts my other cards. Any one has any clues as to what might be the problem ?

that's mean the SD card is not compatible with magician. I also got the same problem with only 256mb SD card. it's probably running on a not compatible frequency with magician.
My SanDisk Ultra II 2gig card from MobyMemory works perfectly

Running a different frequency? I thought there was a SD compatible format, and that all SD card are made accordingly...
I had the same thing with my Sandisk Ultra 2GB. What I did was pair the device with my laptop and explor to the SD card via the explorer in Activesync. I then created a folder called Temp. After I did this, the file explorer and magician would see the card with no problems.
Hope it help

I have exactly the same problem with the MyFlash (AData) 2GB as well on my O2 Mini.
Swap 3 cards already (different batches) and all had the same problem.
I've experience problem copying files to it from my laptop as well. I used a USB2.0 SD reader/writer and copied a large 900MB file to it - got the following error after a while:
Windows Delayed write error. Path is too deep
My Explorer hangs from that point. Same thing happened for all 3 cards.
I'm staying away from this AData 2GB for now.
cheers,
Patrick

I've had the same problem with this card on my JAM- simply does not recognise it at all (therefore cannot even try Mashie's method).
Tried it on my mate's XDA ii and it works straight away (ended up selling to him). What is it with these not supporting particular 2GB cards.
I think as a rule of thumb, those 2GB card which are 60x speed should work:
Sandisk - probably not the Extreme III
ATP 2GB
PNY 2GB
All of these are far more expensive than the Adata and others from the far east.

ADATA My Flash 1GB card doesn't work as well.
Have you tryed to format the card with your SD-Reader card? or best install Pocket Mechanic and try format with some other FAT options.
Good luck!
I bought an ADATA myflash MMCplus turbo 2GB 200x from us and it worked out of the box on my magician .109€.

The only obvious differences between this one the other ADATA one is that this one is MMC and a faster speed.
Still strange that it does work (or why this one works and not the others).
I have ordered yet another 2GB SD; will post to let you guys know if it works or not.
I have bought new 1GB MMC card and insert to my magician. But the magician not detect any storage card...
Is it the card incompatible? 1GB Kingston MMC Dual-Voltage.

Hey guys!
I have a question about flashing with SD-Card:
Do I have to use 1GB/2GB Cards which are none "SDHC" cards?
Or does our Blackstone support High Capacitiy in Bootloader Mode?

I flashed mine using the 8GB card that came with the phone. I would of thought as long as the phone can read the memory card you'll be able to flash from it.
Ok, if you did it with the 8GB card then it should work. Thanks

That's wrong, as far as I know. My old device was a Hermes which I could NOT flash with SDHC cards. But it was also able to read SDHC cards like my 4GB SDHC card.
That's why I asked
i tried with 2 different 8gb cards one of which came with the phone and both didnt work ,
but my 2gb and 16gb both work

I can confirm this too - and I nearly always flash my HTC's from the card.
But you need make sure that card is first formatted to the correct FAT (cant remember which now, its in the Wiki), and obviously that the phone can see the card. Then all should work fine!

Hello all
i have been told that the Snap can handle 2 GB MicroSD maximum?
could you please confirm that since i am buying MicroSD.
Thanks in Advance, great forum
I use a 8 GB San Disk Mobile Ultra MicroSD HC at the moment. No problem!
I believe its up to 8GB, but if it supports SDHC (4+ GB) then it should be able to support 16GB if u find one...

hey dude i'm using a microsd hc toshiba 4gb but i cant seem to locate it.. seems like it isn;t compatiable?
Backup All the Data on the card (to PC or similar) and use the format tool on the phone. If anything format the SD card on the PC...
Im more than postitive a 16GB (and anything below) card will work. The phone has specifications for SDHC, which is a "Standard". This standard is meant to work with ALL certified MicroSDHC cards (SD Cards over 4GB are SDCH which is backwards compatible with all regular SD Cards 4GB and below).
Your Toshiba 4GB irwinlee could be locked to a specific device, or improperly formatted.
Hi all,
I just got my HTC HD 2 yesterday and I also ordered a 16Gb mini SD card with it. But I have a problem with the card.

This morning I have updated the phone with the lastest ROM 1.66.406.1 but it doesn't help. Event when I connect it wia USB to my computer I only see 2gb of storage capacity.
Someone can help me please ?
Thank.

It's a 2GB card mate. Get in touch with your supplier and send it back for a replacement.
No I got a 2gb card in the package like everyone, but I have buy another 16gb card to have more space. I am using the 16 gb card in my phone, not the 2 gb one.
yeah, the 16GB card is probably a 2GB one

But you only have 2GB on it, so it's a 2GB card. Ignore what's printed on the card. If it reads as 2GB then it is 2GB. Whoever you got the card off has sold you a duff card. You'll need to get them to replace it.
Check the front of the card, in my case it says 16GB.. so that would be easy to figure out if it's the wrong size delivered what I doubt
FAT only goes till 2 or 4GB not sure, try formatting it to FAT32
@johncmolyneux: If I format my 1TB HDD with FAT, my disc will come out as 2/4GB. So that means the vendor has given me the wrong HDD, despite the fact the label says 1TB? () That is my logic if I follow your logic
Damn you are right, it's writted 2gb on it ...
EDIT :
I am a noob I have confused both of them lol. The 16 gb card is in my room at home lol.
Sorry and thank to you.
