4Gb SD card - possible? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Is it possible to get a 4Gb card to work in the Universal?

Yes, but make sure it is not an SDHC which is a never revision of the SD card. I am using a 4GB in mine.

Yes I have one in mine.
I got a 4gig of ebay for about £22 with delivery and it works fine for me.

i have 1 in mine too.lucky for me its not sdhc coz i dont know the diffrence back then.

today i have tested 1 gig toshiba sdhc (class4)card and it worked perfectly with universal wm6.

Yes, a 4GB SD card will work as long as it is SD v1.x compliant and not v2.0

Works fine ....

I really want a 4GB can I do this?
Thanks
Yes I can confirm that the 4 gig card will work. Mine is a transcend brand and It works well.

A 2GB SimpleTech card works well on mine as well. This same card did not work on the Magician.

I have this card and the camera application will not write to the 4GB SD card. Everything else I’ve tried on the JAMin and the 4GB SD card is fine. I had a 1GB SD that worked with the JAMin camera application but the 4GB SD does not. Looking for a fix, I’m going to try stopping the extended ROM from loading but I’ve never done that and I have not loaded anything or hacked the JAMin in any way.
i'm using a San Disk 1GB works excellent. I would suggest you try the 2 Gb one (if that's enough for u )
Hi Tanquen.
Your problem can be fixed by filling up your 4GB SD card with files (such as MP3 songs) till it has <2GB left. Then the camera software can write to the SD card. It looks like there is a bug in the camera software that it can't work if SD card has more than 2GB space.
Try it.
I have problem with Transcend 2Gb x150 SDcard on my new Qtek S200. It loosing connection with SD when reading or writing a lot big files. Looks like this card too fast for S200.

4GB SD memory for XDA Exec (Universal)

Hello
do you guys know if a 4 GB SD Card will work with the Universal. I saw in one of the signatures that people are using 2GB SD Cards, was wondering what is the upper limit?
I have an AData 4GB card purchased from some dodgy geezer in Hong Kong via eBay - it works perfectly. So go ahead and get yourself one
I've got transcend 4GB SD 150x works good
I've got a MyFlash 4GB card,
works perfectly

same here.
not good
I will works fine but after you rich the maximum data with combination of software, you can encounter slow moving of any application hanging more often than usual and it will eat your battery 4x faster than normal consumption. :?
The speed of the card doesnt make much of a difference when using the it in the PPC. But you will notice the 150x SD card in a card reader for on the computer. Speeds of read and and write will be really fast, but it has no effect on PPC speeds, the PPC can only go so fast.
iv got a 150x transcend in mine working fine, well iv used it for about 4 months now, it does however have some slight issues with the camera...
before you can save images direct to the card you must have less than 2GB of space left on the card as the camera prog does not recognise anything more than 2gig, so if you try an take a pic with an empty 4gig card it will fail (unless you set images to save direct onto phone)
1 other problem i have encountered, i dont know whethere this was down to the camera, the phone or the card but, when i was away on holiday, i had around 2.5gb of audio and was using the camera a fair bit on my travells, then 1 day when i took a pic it overwrote (is that a word?) :lol: everything on my card!!! when i went into my storage space it said that the card still had 3gb taken up on card but when i went onto file explorer there would be nothing left showing on the card other than images i had taken since :roll: bit of a pain in the ass but it hasnt done me any wrong since then, still filling it with lots of audio/txt/images and no more problems (touch wood)
i had this experience with a 1GB sandisk card. I think it happens when a read or write to the SD card fails or doesn't finish [not sure here], happened twice the 1st instance I was able to use the SD card again [reformatted it with a camera, then again using Resco Explorer on the PPC] the 2nd time it happened the card was dead. Right now I am using a 1GB miniSD [in the adapter of course] which I bought for my ex-PPC [a Wizard] I plan to get a 4Gb SD card as well. If the speed of the card is only really noticeable with card readers then I'm ok with that [as I transfer songs and such via my notebook's in built card reader]. Hmm time to go SD card hunting over the weekend!!! Wonder what I'll do with the miniSD though... I have a 1Gb card in my digicam as well, maybe I can pass that off to my lil sis or something... :roll:
Ive just bought "Platinum" 4GB. It cost me 82$, here in Poland.
Universal report it have just 3,56GB but it is working as expected. Ive benchhmarked it in pocket mechanic - index:122
best reg,
Piotr
I got a Transcend 4Gb 150x SD Card [Part No.: TS4GSD150]. For around 88USD. It is reported as 3.86Gb under Resco Explorer.
I bought a MobyMemory 4Gb card from, suprise suprise, www.mobymemory.co.uk. Almost certainly rebadged from somewhere else but I though it was a good price at under £50 and works fine on my XDA Exec. They also throw in a free SD reader as some readers have trouble with 4Gb SD cards. I had to reformat the SD card under Windows XP for it to be seen by both the Exec and Win XP (as shipped, only the Exec could read the card).
Have the wiki and tomeraider on there - great for being a smartarse down the pub.

BTW,My hx4700 which is 2004's unit and it works perfectly with the 8GB CF card. so...the new HCSD card will be working too?
I am using the ADATA 4GB 150X card too,it will take at least 12seconds :shock: to boot the phone pad once I press the CALL button in device shut down mode,is that normal?
thanks,
best.

SDHC will not work on old and current devices IIRC it needs a special SDHC capable SD slot for it to work with the newer cards. Dunno when SDHC will come to mobile devices though as I fear that the trend is that manufacturer's are moving towards transflash [aka microSD] and miniSD.
my 4GB main SD card worked so well, i bought 4 more to encode movies on
now i need a better DVD ripper Wondershare pocket DVD stupid is too quirky. can't rip some DVDs, sometime frame seqences willl repeat dejavu...

8 GB on Universal

There are now SDHC cards of 8 GB.
Universal does not support SDHC cards.
BUT... there are many adapters that transform SDHC card into a SD card.
Those are cards of SD size. You insert SDHC cards into them.
Did someone try to use 8 GB sdhc cards on Universal with such an adapter?

I read somewhere in the Qtek Manual that the MAXIMUM Storage Card size the Universal will support is 6GB. I am unsure what will happen if you squeeze an 8GB card into it. Maybe it would:
1. Not detect any card at all
or
2. Will only indicate a 6GB card, despite the fact that you plugged an 8GB one
Whatever the case, I am pretty sure that there is an OS workaround to this issue (if it really is an issue). Maybe WM6 has already addressed this limitation, you never know. Maybe all that you need to do is format the Storage Card to a FAT32 media format, instead of the default FAT16 most cards come in.
Given that SDHC cards are the same size as SD cards, how exactly would it fit into an adapter, and then into the uni?!?!?
There are mini SDHC cards which fit the 2.0 standard but with such adapter I think you'll just get a normal SDHC card..

Yes I am interested in this as well, how can a card that is the same size as the convertor card fit!!!
I have a 4 GB SDHC card (DANE-ELEC) that I bought from Expansys and it works in nothing, no computers, cameras PDA or anything......... What are they supposed to work in?
And if there is and adapter that works please provide a link!!!!

This is always the problem with new technologies in which the Buyer Beware principle applies. The SDHC cards are out there, but the readers for those cards are not yet as pervasive and mainstream as the previous generation ones.
This is a critical flaw in the SDHC technological evolution. They basically produced a half-solution (for me its a half-assed solution) which should have never been implemented. Here is the half-assed solution:
- SDHC readers are backwards compatible and can read traditional SD as well as SDHC cards.
- SDHC cards ARE NOT backwards compatibe with traditional SD readers and will only wrk with SDHC readers.
It is the above problem that has got consumers at large, you included, absolutely furious for not making things clearer. So - if you are an SDHC card holder, and are desperate to use it, well .... there is no choice for you to wait for the SDHC readers to be present in the devices you wish to use SDHC cards in.

How support for Universal ?
Guys, received a review sample of a Transcend 8GB SDHC card today and it doesn't work. The Universal just won't detect a Storage Card.
The same goes for ALL other Windows Mobile devices with SD slot at this moment.
Even readers must be special SDHC ones. I have one of those and the PC can work with the card.
This is not going to help, but I have a Transcend 4GB SDHC card, and it's hopeless too, doesn't work in the Universal.

For that you'll need Transcend's NORMAL 4GB SD card. They have a regular one and a 150x (access speed) one.
I have the latter and it works great for almost a year now.
great~~~~ i like this~
RE
Yes, TRANSCEND 4GB SD card 150x works great on my set too
Pretec 133x Cheetah 4 GB card works on my Universal, too:
http://www.dealtime.co.uk/xPF-Pretec-SHM04G
I was using it in my MDA Compact (HTC Magician) and it was working ok, too. I had to use cNET Flash format to access 4GB, though.
It would be cool if anyone could come up with a solution that would enable the Universal to read SDHC cards. I'm sure a new driver would solve this as the hardware is exactly the same.

what if you use a micro to SD adaptor with an 8 gig micro SD??
anyone ever try this?
my buddies 2 gig works in the adaptor.

Must reiterate this point... I have one too, and it works great, no problems at all, and fast!
Hopefully this page will answer these neverending SDHC questions... "the SD 2.0 standard in SDHC uses a different memory addressing method (sector addressing vs byte addressing[9]). 4GB SDHC cards can only work with SDHC compatible host devices."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card (Scroll down to SDHC).
As far as I can tell, SDHC requires different HARDWARE to run, think it's down to the motherboard level and maybe even the slot itself.
yeah, interestingly my buddies 2 gig micro sd card is sdhc.
and it worked.. i don't actually know if there are 8 gig micro sd.. and MAN those cards are small!

MMC card working
Hi,
I have A-Data 4GB Turbo MMCplus 200x card working in my Qtek9000, WM5/6!
So a 4gb SD works on the Universal?
Yep, I've got a 4gb sd card in my Universal and it works fine. As I understand it 4gb is the maximum.
I'm looking for 4 Gb miniSD/SD
But all the cards I see are the new SDHC class 2/6 sd2.0
I was under the impression that those won't work well/at all in the uni because it only supports sd1.1
SDHC will not work. However there are 4GB SD cards, probally the wrong side of the world for you, but here is where I bought my 4GB card.

8GB SDHC?

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?
Regards,
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.
Please help.

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.
Using Sandisk microsdhc 6GB w/ minisd to microsd adapter?
I have a DoPod -810= 3600 running on WM5 with a Transcend 4GB miniSDHC with not one problem since about 8 months now.
I have a 8gb micro sd card but it doesn't really work. The divice shows me only 4gb and i can only use 4gb. I'm using the original rom from htc.
8Gb Working with Adlware distribution. No issues yet. Working fine. I see my whole 8Gb
8Gb sandisk (micro) with mini adapter. Class 4
I'm using a sandisk 6GB microSDHC card and it's working fine.
Try this
I just bought a 6 gig Micro sd with a micro to mini sd converter. I'm sure you could do the same with an 8 gig micro card.
Works with latest WMStorage app too. I'm happy as trinity is my new media player.

What is your HTC ROM version? xxx.xx.18 ?
I read somewhere that the ROM supports 4GB miniSDHC but because at that time 4GB is max... now we have 6-8GB.
Mine works...

No problem at all.
I am using a 8gb SDHC (Sandisk) with the Faman 4.03 WM6 for a month -> No issue!
corruption still
don't know about sdhc, but my sandisk 2g sd still experiences corruption from time to time on both official dopod wm6 & cooked ones. sdsentry pops up one or twice a month alerting me of the corruption and asks me to reboot.
8GB SDHC
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.
Made a ROM upgrade to WM6 , know works perfectly.
Does anyone knows if where i can fing touchflo with cube like on the touch now for the P3600 on WM6.
