What SD Card Are You Using?

Hi guys,
looking to get a 1gb sd card for the Magician M500 to upgrade from a Sandisk 256mb card.
Just looking around on forums but people are saying some do work and some dont!
The obvious card that i was going to get is the ADATA Myflash 1gb 150x,
due to its speed, however some of you saying this card does not work?
So the question is what card do you use and what size is it?
Thanks
Ambro

come on 13 views already and no one has replied?
you cant be that lazy can you to reply back?

I use San-Disk 1gb Extreme III
works perfect, and fast

Ok, ok, hold your horses.....
I'm using SanDisk 1.0 GB (normal one) without problems
under 2005 on a SPV M1000.

i am using fujifilm 1GB SD card with no problems at all

I used to use a 'normal' SanDisk 1GB
I now use a Zynet 2GB running at 68x speed.
I think there are far more issues with 2GB cards and the JAM than 1GB.
The ADATA 150x 2GB did not work on my device.

yeah dont think that the spv m1000 has any problems with 1gb or 2gb Sd cards, i was on about the M500 its a different type of phone to the M1000! and its known as the imate jam or magician aswell as the M500.. (hence this was posted in the magician forum)
thanks for the feedback so far though
sh500:
when i transfer using Activesync and my magician i get speeds of about just under 2700kbps, what kinda of speeds are you getting with a 68x card?
you can find out by using analog x netstat live.
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/nsl.htm
Install that prog and load it up comes up with a panel, right click and configure and it shows tcp/ip interface select the 127.0.0.1 and measure in bits! it will display the speed of transfer between phone and computer!
Attached my sample...
Rougly achieved 2600kbps using Sandisk 256mb Ultra II Sd Card..

ambro,
I'm afraid I cannot check as my JAM is in repair for a dead pixel!
I think the Ultra II is almost the same speed (as 68x) is it not?
Plus, although im no expert, i think there is a limit to how fast our JAMs can utilise anyway. I may be wrong.

I am using an 1 Gb Princeton card on my new Qtek S110 and it works very good. I had no problems with it.

just been told about this 1gb memory card at eBuyer..
its £39.99 1GB Viking SD Card
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=82393
Its not one of the high speed ones but its cheap!
thinking about purchasing it btw i've been told it works with the Magician

Go on ... spoil yourslef and get a 150x!!!!

Bought a TwinMOS Ultra-X
1Gb 66x
Everything OK, working just fine!
Cheers

using a toshiba 1 gb card. used a 512 mb by sandisk but discovered that i could only use 420 mb...not sure if this is a problem with the card itself or if this is a common thing. anyone experienced this? i know that that for all sd cards you can't really use the entire size description...example if your card is 1 gb you can only use 900-plus of it and not the entire 1gb. in my case my toshiba sd card allows me to go and use 993 mb which suits me just fine.

1GB sd card are becoming very cheap as the 2GB have come into the market.
Although, double the size does not yet mean double the price. 2GB are generally about 115% more than the 1GB.
I had my SanDisk 1GB for only about a month and sold it to get a 2GB.

I tried PQI 133x 2G, but failed. Now using Sandisk 2G without problem!

I'm using a Panasonic 1GB pro high speed (20 mb/s). No problems whatsoever.

4gb sd card xda ????

Yes, I have a Transcend 150X 4G SD and tested on Xda2i, xda2, dopod 828, Dopod 900 without any problem.
Just Xda2s can't recongize the card. Strange!

I've got a xda2i and would also like to buy one of transcend's 4gb sd cards.
Should I format it to FAT32 on my pc first, or will it work straight out of the box?

How's the speed on the 150x 4gb Transcend card? Has it been benchmarked or can you compare it to any other brands of SD card?

please try to set the camera to save photos on the Storager card & take a photo , it gives me an error (unable to capter, Not enough menory)

sorry for bad spelling
the error is ( unable to capture , not enough memory )

Just out of interest, does your 2s recognize MMC cards? It says its meant to but mine doesn't.

I grabbed some pics of our daughter off my wife's mini mmc card using my BA... It's a 64mb sanDisk (I think).

Ive bought a Transcend 4Gb SD but am having problems with my XDA IIi using it. Capacity comes up fine, can write continuously to it for about 15 minutes (using activesync), then XDA locks up. Have to then soft reset and start again!
Playing wma files from it usually lasts about 20-30 minutes before the same lock up occurs.
Does anyone know if the 4Gb is a single or dual-layer module ?
Im only running the original ROM 1.11.00.WWE, ext ROM 1.11.923 WWE - will upgrading this help?

Just discovered that the problems of freezing only happen when syncing in the USB cradle! Syncing via Wifi is fine! Also playback is fine as long as its not in the USB cradle.
Thought it might be a USB power issue so I plugged in the power suypply as well but still it freezes in the cradle ????

Anyone tested it with the universal?

Storage Card

I have just purchased a Sanddisk ultra ll 1.0gb storage card.
It works fine in my digital camera but when inserted into my spv m600 the device wont recognise it.
Is there a storage card limitation with the prophet and if so is there a way round it ?

I have similar problem with SD card Transcend 2 Gb x150. When I got 2 Gb TwinMOS x66 problem disappeared. I think the problem is the too high speed of card. Probably they can’t work at speed which is sufficient for Prophet.

Card problem?
Anybody else had sucess with the Transcend 2gb card x150? I was thinking of purchasing the 4gb version, at same speed, but now I'm not sure I want to waste my money.
Anybody else have a 4gig, can you name brand and speed pls?

I have used both the sandisk 1gb ultra II card and the sandisk 2 gb. Both work fine in my I-mate jamin. The ultra II is much faster, but i mostly use the 2gb card, cause I need more space. If they had a 2gb or 4 gb ultra II i would buy it also...I have also used the PNY 2 gb cards. They all work in my jasjar as well. But like i said, the ultra II works best.
You might need to re-format the card and then try it (not with the camera format option, but from the Jamin)

Thanks eagle1
That's good news Eagle. What are the speeds of your two SD cards?
Anybody use a 4 gig non-sandisk card?

I'm using a Trandcend 150xSD 4 GB and it works great.

i am using an sandisk extreme III (150x) 1 GB and works great

Still no card showing
Thanks people for your posts and advice i have tried a few things including pocket mechanic but still have not managed to get my prophet to accept the Sandisk Ultra ll 1.0gb sd card.
If anyone comes up with a soloution or indeed has a SPV M600 with a working Sandisk Ultra ll 1.0gb please let me know.
Just off to e-mail Sandisk to see if they can help.
Thanks again for your posts.

It seems that high speed SD cards workability balanced on the edge with Prophet PDA’s. So best approach would be Try – Before – Buy. “Minor” problem would be to find store where this approach works for SD cards .

Has anyone tried A-Data 4gb 150x?
Has anyone tried A-Data 4gb 150x? I think this is the cheapest 4GB card out there, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried it on the prophet?

I have just started using a 4GB 'Topram 150x'. Seems to work OK, except can't directly save photos to the SD card. According to other posts, something to do with having more than 2GB of empty memory. However, can transfer photos from main memory to the SD card without any problems. Music and videos appear to store and play back without any problems

SD CARD NOW UP FOR SALE
Still no joy with my new sd card so decided to put it on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7612649443&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:UK:11
Had a word with the staff in the local pc world to let me try before i buy but no go, they said they would not give me my money back either unless the card was faulty. Not that i would buy one from there with the price they charge.
Will keep you all posted on what card i get to work with my SPV M600.

I'm confused
I'm really confused. How can it be that a particular Sandisk 150x speed works, and another one doesn't? Or one 4gb high-speed works, the other doesn't? I can't seem to find a pattern here. Its just random.

My guess is the low speed threshold for high speed SD card actually randomly higher than the normal operation for Prophet hardware. In this case two high speed SD cards which are same type of same manufacture may have randomly different low speed threshold, what is out of concerns of manufacturer. Who would cares about low speed access ability? And now we have to go through risk of buying perfectly good SD card which may not work on our Prophet devices. I hate this.

Hi,
I'm using an Extrememory 2 GB and 4 GB SD-Card. No problems with my Jam aka Magician or XDA Neo aka Prophet.

Storage CardJ
Just found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7611242138 works out just under £60 for adata 4gb 200x MMC card which apparently has better compatibility.

I upgraded the ROM and I can now save my photos directly to the SD card as long as the picture resolution is 640 x 480 or less. For the higher resoltion photos I have to save to main memory. Can anyone make any sense of this?
Otherwise I am having no problems with the SD card. I am not about to go and buy another one, so I will just use my workaround of saving no main memory and copying to rthe SD card when memory is low.

MDA Vario /Qtek 9100 and 4GB?

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:

Thanks maca2406.
But, did you try?
Anybody try it and don't work?
Thanks

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.

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.
Anybody have a miniSD 4GB card on a Wizard, that works well?

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 Fords are cars, does that mean all cars are Fords?
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

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.

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.
