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

Any comment welcome... or should I just get a 1gb card?
Has anyone successfully used Adata 150x 1gb sd with their MDA Compact?

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.

Try Softick CardExport II - use trial to format SD with PC.
I've tried Resco Explorer, Softick CardExport II<both format on the device and from my PC in card export mode> and Pocket Mechanic- all the three of them detect it as 135 MB card. The card is working great with Universal, so it's OK and it's realy 1 GB....

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.

Thanks for that mike
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.

What version of WM is on the phone?
WM5 can't read SHDC, WM6 has a patch available (most, if not all, cooked ROMs already have it), and 6.1 ships with it already integrated.
Another possibility is that you ended up with a counterfeit card, or the card has been partitioned and once the 2 gig partition is formatted.
Have you tried the card in anything else, say, a normal computer?
Im using WM6, and yes i have tried the card and it reads 4GB, i dont really know much about roms to be perfectly honest with you. I did unlock the phone though. so if theres a patch, would you be able to tell me? please
If you are using an official ROM from HTC (WM 6.0) then you need no patch. microSDHC cards work out of the box.
I also use an 8 GByte microSDHC from SanDisk without any problems in my TyTN (official HTC ROM, WM6.0)
Some chinese MP3 players do have a file on them that reports it as larger than it really is. Formatting doesn't seem to help. This was a problem I know of that ebay stomped on a few months ago. I wonder if the file could be hard encoded as a rom on an sd card. Price of a 2gb card is a lot less (from the retail side) than a 4gb or 8gb card, and you can make 2 cards for almost the price of 1....
hmm ic, well heres mine, it does say WM 6.0 Professional, Rom version 3.54.201.1. and seriously i havent done anything to this fone, i dont even know anything about roms, but it says that the total storage card memory: 1942.78MB even tho i got 4GB. im at a loss...
Hello,
I'm trying to use a 8GB memory card in my Trinity, but it shows only around 3.8 GB available. The mini SD is formatted with FAT32, my PC shows 7.88 GB free space.....
Is there a limitation up to 4 GB for the Trinity?
Carsten
maybe in your rom sdhc support is not patched. find it and install or flash with a new version of that rom
I have a Claro's italian rom, and my P3600 works perfectly with a 8GB Sandisk card...
