Does anyone know whether or not an 02 XDA Atom Exec will work with a 4gb mini SD (either from Sandisk or Transcend)? Would a firmware update solve the problem>? If not what options do i have
thks
i also have the same question.
I have the same question. I contacted O2 about the mini SDHC issue, but they are very vague with their answer (below - dated 16th July 2007)
"Thank you for contacting O2 Asia Technical Support.
With reference to the query that you have made, the Xda Atom has been tested with memory cards with a capacity of 2GB. By using a memory card with a higher capacity such as what you have mentioned, 4GB, may possibly cause some software conflict.Thus it may compromise the functioning of your device.
We hope this information is useful. Thank you.

If anyone is using a miniSDHC card on the atom, i will be glad to know which one. Also, is there any upgrade of software / firmware than can make this possible...
I have a miniSDHC card, Trascend brand. Won't read at all on the Atom. So don't get your hopes up. <_<
Try this drivers from HTC ATHENA for SDHC support on Atom.
Note, that it was not fully tested...

not SDHC but 4 gb works with atom
hi there,
I have an atom and it works with a 4 gb Topram minisd just fine, it's not no SDHC, and not sure if this answers your question. you can get this for like 40 bucks on e**y.
slamming_sammy1...
that's good news - incidentally, i went for the 2 gb card before i read your post. well, i'll have to upgrade sometime, i guess.

I bought O2 Atom Life just a week before. The same day I bought I did logged in to get WM6 upgrade and within 3 hours of purchase my device was on WM6.
When I downloaded the ROM after Registering and entering my IMEI the download page came and there was clearly mentioned that after WM^ upgrade the device will be able to use miniSDHC card but the capacity was not mentioned. BUT IT IS QUIET CLEARLY CONFIRMED THAT WM6 CAN READ miniSDHC CARD WHICH CAN BE ANYTHING ABOVE 2GB.
But its true that the device may start to slowdown, as well as the count of stored files increases to huge number. This is not tested by me but when I used 2gb card on MotoMing with more than 1000 files, the device started slowing down, though it was linux based. And we all know how windows behaves

I guess if it works for Atom, it also works for HP rw 6828 (with "helloWorld" WM6.1 Rom fro this forum)
Do you know if it works with a micro SD 8GB or higher with a mini SD adapter ?
Some people report that 8GB works.
I use a 2GB from "integral" without problem.
I tried with a 4GB micro SD Kingston with mini-SD adapter, and it seemed to work.
Any slowdown when a lot of files are on the SD card ?
Did someone tried this link
I purchased an second hand Atom Life with WM6.0 but it would not read a SDHC 4GB card until the attacehd program was installed. But i soon found that the standard ROM sucks and then loaded a WM6.1 from Medkid and it works like a dream!!....that is everything good and SDHC support for my 4GB card is built in. Otherwise here is the SDHC driver for WM.

Hi All,
I just received a Hitachi 4GB Microdrive but it looks that it cannot be recognised by my O2 XDAII v.1.60.00 WWE version.
In Win XP it is recognised by my card reader as formatted with FAT32 and shows 4GB capacity. Works properly.
When inserted in the Backpack, I am prompted for the driver (atadisk.dll) but after entering it, nothing happens. No extra Storage file added. Nothing.
Hitachi Support site says that the newer drivers are included in Win Mobile.
The threads in the Forums don't help much to solve the problem.
Anybody has solved it? Is the 4GB microdrive compatible or not?
Could somebody throw any help at this? :?:
Many Thanks,
Gear :?
Update, 16 Sept. 2004
Two months later and looking through ALL threads for the Microdrive in this site and the respective links, the only thing discovered was a picture of a 340(?) MB Microdrive inserted in the Backpack.
I assume (mentioned in another thread) that up to 2 GB the Microdrive should work but I am not willing to buy a second one to find out.
No luck though for the 4GB Microdrive up-to-date.
If anybody knows anything different, please post a reply.

Backpack and 4GB Microdrive
Did anyone actually manage to solve this one? I've just got hold of a 4GB drive and can't get it recognised in the XDA2 at all
David
the XDA series has only been tested by o2 with cards upto 1gb. there is no garuntee it will work.
what about partising it in to two 2gb drives or 4 1gb drives? might work?
IT WORKS
I own the xda2i
i bought a backpack
i bought a ibm hitach 4gb microdrive
the device instantly recognises it as a 4gb storage card

from an o2 shop......yes the backpack will fit the xda 2 and 2 i as they are the same casing but it will not fit the xda2s
IT WORKS
Could someone kindly post here the driver(s) file(s) of the XDA 2s for the disk?
There are two files on my XDA II both in the \Windows directory:
1)atadisk.dll dated 23 Feb. 2004 & size 16.5 k
2)AtaDisk.dll dated 15 March 2004 & size 18.5 k
but none of them can see the 4GB Microdrive.
Many thanks for the help.

i'm not suprised the xda 2s cannot recognize the 4gb microdrive in a backpack.......
the xda2s is not compatible with the backpack!!!
further more..... the backpack and microdrive need no drivers .... they are plug and play!!
IT Works.
I meant the drivers of the XDA 2i which seem to be newer than the ones in my XDA II.
Sorry for the confusion.

again:.......drivers????? the backpack plugs on... tyhje card goes in... it works no drivers neededc or provided... are you talking about the rom etc?

It is not that simple on the XDA II. The backpack plugs OK and is recognised but on the insertion of the microdrive it asks for drivers. It is not recognised as "plug 'n play". At least my 4GB Hitachi Microdrive. The exisiting drivers (above mentioned) in the XDA II, are not working to recognise the drive.
I suppose that in the new 2003 O/S the drivers recognise the drive. Hence my request for the newer ones.

i believe ur best option would be to forget about drivers and to update ur rom
Hi!
Does anyone know if there is a wlan-card with some storagememory included that is compatible with the magician?
Been looking around but still no luck.
Look for Sandisk Wifi-SD-cards. I have one with 256mb storage. It works perfectly!

No, it is not works perfectly..... Works sometimes, and not always!
It is BAD, since the software/driver for Sandisk Wifi-SD card with 256mb storage is not support WM2003SE. It is only support WM2003 (without SE). Most of O2 XDA II mini is WM2003SE (IMO, there is old magician unit running on WM2003 (without SE)).
VERY BAD because Sandisk never and have never update the software/driver to support WM2003SE!!! I learn this when I asked their customer support about software/driver for WM2003SE, and they simply say "check this compatibility chart, WM2003SE is not supported!".
Shame on you Sandisk!!!
Regards,
Arto.
I had but after 4 months it gave out on me,
Sandisk told me it had to do with the memory on it,
I now have a new one without the memory and no problems till now.
But I am "glad" that more people having problems with it.(just so I know I aint the only one)
My advice buy a 1gig card and a normal WiFi.

I've had a Sandisk 256MB+WiFi card for 6 months and it has worked perfectly with my JAM - not given me a single problem.

works perfectly !!!
Anybody know if This PDA can support 4GB miniSD?
Thanks.
The Wizard is miniSD compatible. miniSD is derived of the SD specification that support up to 2GB memory cards. 4GB cards are SDHC compatible derived of the SDHC specification. For this reason 4GB memory cards are not compatible with the wizard neither with TyTN. I don't know any 4GB miniSD card from any fame manufacturer.
More information on this link from SanDisk:

Anybody try it and don't work?

ive got a 4gb sd card working with mine..i got it as a present so im not sure where it's from since it hasnt got a name on it..but it does work..
Hello EgemenBor,
Not 4GB SD but 4GB miniSD card on a MDA Vario (or Wizard, Qtek 9100, Imate K-Jam), right?
Thanks
Nope, but maybe a generic product works, look this link:
http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=miniSD_4096mb_MOBY_002
I don't trust on non branded products then I can not respond your question. but is important to know that neighter fame manufacturer has 4GB miniSD cards for sale (ex. SanDisk, Kingston, etc).
From that SanDisk article:
2. Look for SDHC logo on card and packaging itself
a. GB SD cards without SDHC logo are non-compliant with the SDA 2.00
specification.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Notice, they say "non-compliant" and NOT "non-existent." They are obviously cow-towing to device manufacturers here, plus expecting us to foot the bill!
The problems I've heard of with these cards are:
1.) They don't last as long. (Neither did 3.5" Low-Density Floppy Disks when formatted as High-Density, but I've still got a few originals hanging around that work....) It would be great to know what proccess they were using to create these drives as opposed to the 2GB ones....
2.) The card may need to be repartitioned into 2-2GB drives. (See this thread)
please remember that just because it doesn't meet the new standard, doesn't mean it doesn't work with the older standard-devices
I, for one, am grateful there are vendors serving this sub-market, even though the major players are moving on!
Thanks Blazoner.

I have 2 mobymemory cards 2gb and 1 gb both work v well - if mobymemory say this 4gb card will work i trust them - i will most likely get one!
I have said all along that i think a 4gb mini-sd card will work in the wizard as a 4gb sd card works in a prophet and they really have v similar roms. 4gb even works in a magician and that has an even older rom.
I base myself on what SanDisk says in this link in red:
http://www.sandisk.com/Compatibility/Device(8040)-T-Mobile-MDA_Vario.aspx
T-Mobile MDA Vario
(Mobile Phones)
Maximum capacity for this device: May support up to 2GB
Please check with your device manufacturer for details.
Also, SanDisk doesn't manufacture 4GB minisd cards. I have learned to pay attention to what SanDisk says
It would be necessary to check if to use more than 2gb works ok with the Wizard with this 4gb minisd card. Unfortunately I am in America and I don't have access to mobymemory devices.

How long did it work ok? try formatting it on the device using sktools or storage tools
Take a look at this thread. It describes this problem and it's solutions in detail. Just read miniSD instead of SD.
Remember, it can still be compatible with the current standard, even if it doesn't comply with the new standard.

If all miniHDSC cards are 4GB or larger, does that mean all 4GB or larger memory cards are miniHDSC cards?

Hi,
I receive my new miniSD 4GB card... but my Wizard don't recognize it!
Is a new SDHC and even my laptop with a pcmcia reader card (old) don't recognize too! But I think card is OK because with my Sanyo Xacti C6 work well!
What can I do? Can I make 2x 2GB partitions FAT 16... maybe Wizard work?
Thanks
well my phone isn't reading the memory card and when I try to access it via a card reader on my pc nothing happens...just gets stuck..could it be that the card is dead?
I've had the problem for the past week or so...the card in general was really slow I.e. uplaoding files and accessing the card on my pc would take a while..
I try format miniSDHC 4GB card with 2 partitions 2GB FAT16 but Wizard don't recognize it! Even my old pcmcia card reader can't "see" it! At laptop only work with a card reader that works with SDHC!
Any Help?
Thanks
By this experience, I think Wizard can't read any miniSDHC card unless HTC make a firmware update (will do sometime?) to support this new standard SDHC!
Anybody have better good news?
But, I can't understand why Qtek 9000 and S200 can read SD 4GB, like some persons report it!!!
Thanks
Hi, I've been browsing around the forums trying to work out whether a 4GB MiniSD or MiniSDHC card will work with the Trinity or not, but I can't seem to get a definite answer..
For those of you, who have successfully been using 4GB (MiniSD or MiniSDHC) for a long while now, (> 1 month preferably), how did you get it working? i.e. how did you format it, are you using a different ROM, etc.
My device will be the Orange SPV M700 (I haven't got it yet), if I flash it with, say, a Dopod ROM, what are the advantages/disadvantages?
Thanks for the help!
I have a DoPOD d810, i also would like to know if it can handle a 4GB MiniSD.
Please reply if you have any experience with this issue.

Listen up guys...How many threads does it take to get this issue solved? I have been using a TopRam 4gb miniSD for 3 months. I'm a power user with TomTom, video apps and audio apps all running directly from the miniSD card. The card is 85% full of nav maps, music and videos. I have never had an issue with this setup running the Dopod Test Rom found in the Wiki of this site. It works for me, that is all I can say. Apparently there are some rom versions that have had issues in the past.
Thanks.
I also saw some other threads on this issue, it would seem that the Trancsend 4GB MiniSD is the most promising.
At this point, it's hit or miss. While a few users report no problems, many others have had problems with not only the 4gb, but smaller cards as well.
I, for one, have a 2gb card that works flawlessly, and a 4gb card that wont last a day without errors. My belief is that this has more to do with the brand/manufacturer than anything else

From what i saw in some forums you should not use "SDHC" (yet, till HTC solve the problem) but normal one and Format FAT/FAT32
Sorry for another card post but from what I can tell the latest ROMs appear to address the SD corruption issue, is that correct? If this is true has anyone tried 8GB cards, is there any reason why they won't correctly?

Have you try to create a Partition on the card?
I haven't bought one yet, just wondering if they work ok.
I have also searched the entire forum for some hard eveidence that 4gb SDHC works on the Trinity. I am running the AX3L rom 2.0.8.1 and wasn't there also 2 patches for SDHC for that rom? Anyone tried.
Finding it so hard because I want TomTom and Wikipidia on both on my Trinity but now i can only have one or the other.

Can you actually buy a 8GB miniSDHC today? If so, would you mind telling which brand and where it can be bought?
I haven't seen any over 4GB yet.
Anyway, I can tell that for me, the official Dopod WM6 seems to have finally solved the problems that existed on all the previous ROM's where I have tried a Transcend 4GB miniSDHC (these do not include any other WM6).
I have now used the Transcend card with the Dopod ROM for more than 2 weeks without any issues like empty directories etc.

Wich SD cards is confirmed working?
I've seen SanDisk 8GB, but what about TwinMOS, Kingstone...?
And wich is fastest, or does that not have any effect because the internal memory card reader on the phone is slow?
Wich do you recommend?
I bought a Sandisk Micro SDHC 8gb yesterday.
Use it with a card adapter Micro/mini found with almost every kingston card.
Worked with WM5 but recognised only 4gb.
Try first to partition it with Partition Manager but didnt succeed.
