In a word, yes
In a few more words.. do a search!
im doing it
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
2GB TakeMS ... works perfect...
My Samsung 2GB works great too.
And what about SanDisk miniSD 2GB Ultra II 60x? Does it work?

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.
These cards seem to be a good deal.
WIll a 4Gb card work OK in an Orange M3100?
No.
You need microSD (which used to be called Transflash i think).
That's MiniSD.. It's physically too big.
MyMemory in the UK do a 2GB one for 47.99
There are no microSD larger than 2GB available at the moment. 1GB is quite common.. 2GB is harder to find in the UK, and thats the best price i've found yet... I've ordered one but havent got it yet as i only got the M3100/Hermes last week.
Edit: Oh just to annoy me.. the site you were looking at is quite a bit cheaper for the 2GB microSD. lol
http://www.picstop.co.uk/Micro-SD---TransFlash/SanDisk-Micro-SD-(TransFlash)---2GB
£40
Is it advisable to stick to known brand names or does that not matter any more? Are there any problems in using a 2gb one as I've read about slowness with the 1gb ones?? TIA
Nope thats a MiniSD. Hermes uses a MicroSD. I recently bought a Sandisk 2GB MicroSD for $70 on EBAY. I use the Micro to put around 1.8gb of music and I notice no slow down. The rest of the memory I put around 4-5 games and I only notice in one game call 3D Air Hockey slow downs.

I was talking to the guy who started the thread.
Hello all,
I used a 4 gb mini sd for around 4 months without any serious issues (soft reset fixed everything for me.) Then, out of nowhere, the card just became unreadable. Couldn't access any data from it and I couldn't even reformat it. Completely dead.
So I started poking around about 4gb cards and found (like I probably should have done before I bought the card) that the current mini SD standard stops at 2gb. These "4GB" cards are really 2gb cards that have been hacked and reformatted to 4gb. Now, apparently this works, but drastically shortens the card's shelf life. It is said that most of them die within a few months, if they last that long.
I just wanted to post a poll regarding this issue. Hope this is of interest to everyone.

Well if what you are saying is true, then shouldn't the same apply to SD cards? I had used a 4gb SD card for 2 years in my Magician and Prophet without a problem...I think it was a Transcend.

I think it does apply to standard size SD cards too:
I looked at the Sandisk site and the only 4 gig cards that were being sold were listed as SDHC. Nothing on the official site over 2gb that wasn't high capacity. I was able to track down the Trancend card you were talking about from a reseller (and numerous other ones including Ebay) however, if you go to the official Transcend site you see that there are no standard SD cards in a 4gb size.
This leads me to believe that the info I have been reading regarding this is correct. If the manufacturers are really putting out 4gb cards, why are they not on their official websites?
But the point remains that these 4gb cards (hacked or not) do indeed work in the Trinity (as well as other devices.) It's just for how long that is the question. I just want to find out with what regularity these cards dying so we can judge whether or not it is a worthy risk to buy one and trust our precious data to it.
Matterhorn, I appreciate you relaying your experience with the 4gb standard SD card. Perhaps the hacking and reformatting is more stable in the standard size as compared to the mini version? Hopefully this poll will help us figure it out.

The label on the 4gb SD Transcend looks exactly like the official Transcend color scheme. The card itself is in blue plastic and the label is in vibrant colors with Transcend, 150x, and 4GB written on the label. I believe this is the same one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208086. It also has a serial number stamped on the back. I really don't think it is a fake Transcend.
My Topram 4gb miniSD continues to faithfully work in my Trinity. I don't know anything about this ebay vendor, this link is just for info http://item.express.ebay.com/TOPRAM...320102528838QQihZ011QQtrZexpQQcmdZExpressItem. It came packaged like an authentic card, some others have no professional packaging. Perhaps it will give up one day, if it does I'll report it right away. I know there has been quite a few people stating that their miniSD cards have quit on them, which I'm sure is true, but I can't help but believe that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, meaning that people that have no problems with their cards are less likely to post results.
I've been using a 4gb card in my Trinity for about a month now.
Gave me a few problems with Media player at one stage. The MSME files for the library dissappeared and I couldnt get them deleted to fix the media library problem.
Put the card in my desktop reader and suddenly they appeared again!!
Since then - no probs. Have it well filled up with mixeded media and prog files.

I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but this still doesn't account for why 4gb standard SD (non-HC) cards are not on the company's official website.

Wouldnt it stand to reason that if they were 2gb cards "hacked" to 4gb they wouldnt have the capability to store 4gb worth of data? What you are inferring is the "Tardis" effect. Bigger on the inside than the outside which to my knowledge is not currently possible. A bit like having a normal sized mini car with 7 MPV seats inside. I think is just a matter of intermittent hardware to hardware clash/incompatibility not a 2gb hack.
Must admit,have suffered from the card corruption syndrome for the first time in my life whilst using the M700 trinity.Talk about heart attack!!!! The thing that makes me think it is a hardware compatability issue is that I have used that same 4gb miniSD in my wizard variants,prophet variants,treo's etc for over 7months no stress. Hence I know the card is good (thanx mobymemory!)
4GB Problems
I bought a no-name 4GB miniSD cheap on ebay. It worked fine initially in my Trinity, but only took a few launches of TomTom to get corrupted - "no maps found" and hundreds of smiley faces in File Explorer. I was always able to reformat and start over, but soon got tired of that. Strangely the same card performed perfectly when used in an I-mate Jam (inside an SD adapter) or when in a card reader on the PC. I got rid of the card and got a Kingston 2GB and have had no problems since.
I just got more TomTom maps and am trying to decide whether to take the plunge again. Anyone got any positive 4GB stories?

How can I format it?
well i have a 4gb trans. SD 150x it works in my other mp3 player now for a long time, but as far as mini i dont know
i got a topram atm and it seems like it worked for a format or 2 and died after didnt even get to use it in my pocketPC, sending RMA request now :/
i was really looking forward to hear more good news about the 4gb topram miniSD but i dont know atm
I think maybe the poll should be changed to include SDHC cards since that is a variable that is very important on judging the 4gb cards. SDHC cards work but are just not reliable yet in the current roms.

Now this is very strange:
Go to http://www.topram.com/
look at the picture in the middle right under "MiniSD" (orange background): The picture shows a 4.0GB MiniSD Card
BUT
If you click on the picture they tell you only the following cards do exist:
120X 2GB miniSD
120X 1GB miniSD
60X 512MB miniSD
60X 256MB miniSD
no 4.0GB MiniSD
What is this??????????
I tried very hard to find Matterhorns Card in Germany. No success. Simply cant find them. Not on any german online shop. Not in any real world shop. Very very strange.

Oh ye of little faith
I bought mine from an ebay shop. You won't find them in Germany because they are from Asia and they're not marketed here. It came in sealed plastic and looked very professionally packaged. As far as the web site goes...how up to date are half the manufacturers web sites on the web?...not very.

That's very good news. Thanks for that info!
good morning guys.
let me share some information i have about flash memory.
few month ago one big electronic shop in my ciy was offering usb flash disk of sizes up to 16 gb. in very cheap price.
alot of my frinds buy that memory.
after few days alot of them returen to the shop to exchange them becuse the memory damged.
some of them did not have anyproblem untile today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the reason is .
these memory are just 4 gb memeory and haked to be like 16 gb.
so if u try to write one bite over 4 gb you will start write this bite over the first bite of card and you will damge the data on that bite. and maybe the card will not be usable again.
this hake is known to be used on other media before flash memorys.
it was used in some hard disk to foll consumers.
the same story here.
if u have a 4 gb Mini-SD . just try to put more than 2 gb and your data will be gone (bye bye bye). maybe the card will be not usable again .

This theory has been proven to be not true over and over again...search the forums.
hm, hello and from me..
I bought 4 gb minisd Albatron, and after 2 days, the card just stopped. I tryed to format it, but no success. The card just died. After that i read this topic and searched on the albatron site to find some mini sd 4 gb card, and i cant find... after that i exchange the card with 1 gb Kingston and since then - no problems at all.. And i think that this 4 gb minisd cards are really hacked and if you have luck - you may use it maybe 5-6 months.. but i really dont buy 4 gb card, until the manufacturer says that they have one.
Regards,
4Gb Topram mini SD - fine. I've used 2 of these and they have been OK.
2Gb Transcend mini SD - useless. Would corrupt in a few hours no matter what I tried.
1Gb O2 branded mini SD - fine.
I'm still using a generic 4GB card that I bought of EBay and its settling down fine after about 3 months use. although at times, it can be just about noticably slow.
I've had a lot of trouble with the card 'dissappearing' ow and again and the Media Player library going awol. However, the fix's for those problems are well published on other threads.
I purschased a Sandisk 4GB SDHC card hoping it might be a bit faster, th Trinity cant even see it!! So much for SDHC support.
I purchased a Sandisk (genuine?) 4GB HC microSD card off of eBay for $60 and so far it works great.
I've heard that the official word from T-Mobile is that it isn't compatible but I thought I would give it a try anyways and viola...
I'm hopeful that the 8GB one will work too.
nice good to know, well i dont think t-mobile ever gave an official word bout it :O
found the answer...

I was looking at the stats of the Wing from the T-Mobile manual, and it states it supports SD 2.0, which means SDHC (up to 32 GB capacity.)
I'm willing to bet that the 8GB one will work without issue.
anyone else got it working? I bought a sandisk 4gb sdhc card and it doesn't work.
Found out my card was bad, waiting for the replacement
It's 100% compatible...
And this is the compatibility list:

Does anyone know if this will work? Couldn't find any info on Kingston.

8gb Micro SDHC
I can confirm that the 8gb Micro SDHC (class 2) works on the Herald/T-Mobile Wing. I just purchased it, and have been using it for almost a week now, with no problems. Both Windows and Mac recognize it as 8gb (less when formatted) while it is in the phone, and have no problems reading or writing to it. I hope this helps if anyone was wondering.
8gb hdsc
hey everyone this is my first post but I would like to let everyone know that I bought a 8gb sdhc card a while back off amazon for 29.99 and it works in the wing. ive been using it for a little while now so.

Yes it will work as long as you are runing winmo 6. Next time do a quick google search for it (site:xda-developers.com what you are looking for goes here), this question comes up about once a month.

did you have another memory stick before it?
does the phone slow down dramatically when you use it or is it only a slight slowdown ?

6 GB
I 've just seen a 6 gb micro sd card advertised. Would this work too?
6GB should work with WM6. Looks like ship date is 10/06/2007 in the US
Some cooked ROMs might not have the sdhc support cuz it wasnt cooked in, but that would be stupid and it will usually be listed in the specs of the ROMs if it is or isnt.
If there is sdhc (hc = high capacity btw) then anything above 2 gb should work.
HI Guys NEWBIE Question here...
I have a Tmobile Vario 2, Tytn, flashed to the htc tytn wm6 rom...found it here and seemed the most official so i went for that one...so my question is, does any version of wm6 support the 4gb or is it specific cooked versions? thanks
1GB
i have a 1GB card and i thought that would about do it for me but i guess not i had it full in 3 days......i will be looking for that 6GB, why not just come out and make us a 10GB card then i would be really happy :
