Hi guys
i love my himalaya and for christmas i want to treat it to a nice big sd card.
now i know under wm2005 people have been getting 4gig cards and 8gig cards... but from what i hear the older versions of windows have more difficulty with these sizes.. i'm currently using plain old ppc2003 for my backpack/wireless stuff what size can i get with the older windows eg 2003/2003se...any recommendations on cards...i know some are less friendly than others
SD
i am using 1gig Transcend SD sard, have tried putting in 2gig SD card from my friend, works fine.
i just bought a 4gb topram mini sd card. i saw that most pocket pc read thisbut then again i wanna be sure ....
does the o2 xda atom (the one with the 416 mhz processor) read a 4gb card?
pls reply soon...i need to know
I'm trying to figure out the same thing myself.
The official O2 Website says that the maximum mini sd card they've tested is 2GB.
I'm not sure if a 4GB one will work.... I dunno??

Hi, I was using a 4gb mini SD card on my Atom until recently when I brought Gigabyte GSmart i300. So, there shouldn't be any problems.

Thanks for sharing the info.... would you reckon a Sandisk 4gb mini SD will work on the original atom ?
There are 4gig miniSDs? I only heard of 4gig miniSDHC. If SDHC worked on Atom, I'll be wildly happy. >_>
wats the difference between SDHC and mini SD?
omg thanks Invisible Sense for the info, i just hope this one actually works on mine cos i cant be sure, it could depend on the memory card make or firmware version.
and yer, its been mentioned in quite a lot of sites around...wot exactly is the difference between sd and sdhc? someone reply pls
sdhc is new tech pretty much, lets manufactures to make higher capacity... and the HC is just that means high capacity, they come in ratings of class 2-6 atm as far as speeds, unlike the sd ones which would have like x50 x120 x150 etc... and it will say most time sdhc or sd high capacity
i believe it has to be hardware support for sdhc, so no firmware cant just be made for it to work without hardware change
i am using a utek 4g mini sd on my atom life, transferred more than 3g of mp3s and movies to the 4g mini sd, so far so good, no problem at all with the utek 4g mini sd, hope this helps.
does it affect the memory?
the hc only varies speed right? not like 4 gb equivalent to 8? cos its high CAPACITY not high PERFORMANCE :S which should be associated with speed. i dont get it ..
capacity means contain...contain is storage....
oh and atom life is one of the best out right now ..so it would obviously take a 4gb card..i meant the normal regular O2 xda atom
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card#SDHC
that might help you understand the difference
Disregarding the wiki, the difference is not just in the storage. It's in the driver. The limits are hardcoded and you have to redo the entire driver just to get it to read - and because these drivers are proprietary, you only get SDHC if your vendor chooses to integrate 'em. You're otherwise sadly out of luck.
(I still think SDHC doesn't require new hardware - vendors are spewing out a load of crock as an excuse to not support the older stuff. Especially when you consider that there exist camera firmware updates that convert slots for SDHC use out there - for cameras that were made WAY before even the 2.0 format was on the table. Even Sony's memory stick slots only required a driver update - SD, the reverse engineered clone of the Memory Stick standard, should not be any different.)
I have a Adata MyFlash 4MB x150 card and this runs fine, the TT5 runs of this and is very quick, no problems with WMA or camera pics.
By the way this is an XDA Exec, latest firmware

How is the speed on the card though? Is it slower than say a 2gb do u know?
I did have a 2gb miniSD before and can't tell any difference.
I do transfer a lot of data such as movies and music so have been used to the speed of the two cards. I will say though, having a 4gb card was far more important to me then speed, therefore I didn't care about the speed much.
My new phone Gigabyte i300 comes with USB 2.0 and I must say the speed of data transfer is amazingly quick.

Yeah you're right...... as long as it ain't too slow, speed isn't as much an issue as capacity.
I just bought an atom a couple of weeks back....I think I'll go for the 4gb card when my atom arrives!
Thanks a million for sharing the info!
many thanks
thanks for all the info ... uv really helped me out... many members here seem enthusiastic to help out...im glad i found this forum. ill let u guys know when i receive the card. i bought it from ebay btw...just in case anyone wants to know where i purchased it..
thanks
well when you think of the speeds, IMO it is a big deal esp when running apps on the miniSD anything that will precache etc...
but you might not notice speed difference because depending on your device, you might have to plug the card into a usb 2.0 card reader to get the benefits of higher speeds... and even then some card readers cant match it...
all i know is through device its slow if your using hte active sync i belive, if you do like one some devices as a card reader i believe it will work with usb 2.0 then, but active sync might be slow 1.1 usb?
also it seems that on the US side, the good high mem 2gb 4gb miniSD are missing, ebay has some but some brands are crap and going with oem can be fishy, if you guys read the issues with the other 4gb cards dieing and what not..
This video review says it has "8 gigs of internal memory"
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1911516/htc_touch_hd/
Well, he obviously missed two words: "up to" ... HTC has the specs on their web page.

He certainly says it has 8 gigs of internal memory but as far as I am aware it has a 512mb rom and is expandable with microSD, interesting but I would bet that he is wrong
Wow oh wow, 8GB internal Memory
Let's hope that it's should have internal memory, and this video is not a fake make up...
HTC plans to ship the phone with a 8GB SD card in the box.

i am sorry, but this press-release is garbage: quad-hand telephone, 8 MB SD Card.... you should remember that anybody able to type on a keyboard is allowed to post a press release on internet! If it was written by somebody knowledgeable, he didn't take the time to read what he himself had written....
...i only believe to information posted on this forum...
Haha, yes that's awesome. A quad-hand phone, so only for people to share with a friend?

well if you believe it HAS 8GB internal, over stated it HAS a 8GB SD card shipping, then believe away!
my 2 cents: it doesn't have 8 Gb internal, it doesn't have an SD card.
...It has a microSD SLOT SD 2.0 compatible where - today - you can put an 8 Gb micro SDHC card (....which i already have) and, in the future, up to 32 GB max capacity...
If - for commercial reasons - they would add a microSD card to any unit i would be happy but i doubt it: i already paid my blackstone in www.digitec.ch and this is what they expect to sell and i expect to buy:
Internal Memory: 288 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM
Memory Expansion: microSDHC
...which is not different from official HTC specifications!!!!
...and remember that they need to differentiate from the Iphone and if they would put 8 GB "ONLY" then "smart reviewers" will start say "the iphone 3g has more memory"...
Said this - this is just common sense. I have no direct information apart from HTC and vendors.
I had a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 6 card and I wondered if my Mango-tized HD2 would even recognize it.
It certainly appears to. I dunno, but that seems like news.

Id say thats news given that 64GB Micro SDs didnt exist when our HD2 was born.
To be honest, i dunno what id use that much space for, i dont think id ever fill a 32GB SD let alone that monster!
There was a time when id have dual booted android, but i cant be bothered with all that now WP is pretty much perfect on the HD2,
Hi.... Just wondering... Did you experience any change in battery drain and smooth running of the rom after installing 64gig sd card ,
And which rom unr using currently...
This is epic for someone like me! I'm one of those people that fills up 16 gigs in no time flat! 32 sounds nice, but 64 gigs!!!! I'm in heaven, I need to get one. How much did the 64gb card cost you?
Any updates on whether this works yet? I would like to upgrade from 32Gb soon.

wow. amazing. does it mean that hd2 supports part of SDXC? can you use all of the storage volume;about 59GB?
I have mine split, but yes if you so choose, you can use all of the storage on the sd card, currently i have Everything working on the phone, running really smooth, only thing is that my carrier signal/reception is good, but for some reason the radio on this rom seems weaker than normal, Question for anyone that knows, is there a better one ready yet, I am on Orange.

THing with Radios is that firstly we have 2 different radios to deal with, and secondly different networks and signal strength areas will do better with different radios, so you may find that the latest and greatest radio is actually worse than the first radio available because its been stripped from a phone on say, the O2 network.
Trial and error appears to be the best, or ask folk on your network what they use, ideally in your own country and even better near you,

According to the SETTINGS|about page, I have 59.25GB Total Storage.
Battery life is not stellar, though I haven't really done any work to optimize that.
SDXC
Basically... All SDXC cards will work...
The thing is, this is how the cards are supposed to be shipped:
SD => FAT
SDHC => FAT32
SDXC => exFAT
Any SDXC card can be formatted as FAT32 to work with SDHC compatible devices. The OS "decides" how much of the storage capacity can actually be allocated.
Since microsoft probably took note of SDXC during development, windows phone uses a file format that either supports exFAT (which is a MS file format) or formats the cards in a file system that supports over 64gigs. Windows phone supports SD cards under 32 gig, so it supports FAT32 and FAT anyways (to be reformatted in the device)
Long story short, as soon as a device supports exFAT it is SDXC compatible. if a device supports FAT32, any SD card formatted in FAT32 works.
Will the 64GB SDXC card work with the original Windows Mobile 6.5 ?
Does exFAT work on WM6.5?
Wohooooo 64 Gb for what?
Yep got a dual booting 64gb SanDisk class 6 over here.
30.8 in windows
30.5 in android
(couldn't find a way to put more in android than windows b/c ad sd and wp7 nand.)
Battery drain seems the same. Check everytime I boot constantly to see if the current is -400 or -4.
Such a pain in the anus.

Doing the samething here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711310
Seeing as how Windows Phones uses the partition type exFAT, it'd be no problem picking up the 64Gb card since that is what it is formatted as.

In regards to the SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC...over the last couple of days I installed the NexusHD2 v2.3 and set the card up with 8GB EXT4 and 52GB FAT32. It ran slightly slower than NAND but I adjusted the CPU speed to compensate and overall a darn good experience. My next adventure was to dual boot both NexusHD2 and Pdaimatejam's WP7.8 and I split the card pretty much right down the middle taken into account the 200MB FAT32 WP7.8 creates upon it being deleted and for one brief moment you have only 2 partitions before continuing to create the EXT4 partition. WP7.8 will works up to a point and then begins the reboot loop. I understand there's a way to image a smaller memory card onto the 64 gig card and that's what I will be doing next. In the meanwhile I did successfully load Pdaimatejam's ROM into NAND but the key here is that card must be formatted as exFAT; otherwise it too will reboot endlessly. My only use for Android are CoPilot Navigation and Google Navigation and Skype; otherwise I prefer Windows Phone for one reason and one only; it runs as smooth as silk but WP7.8 lacks what WP8.x now haves...good GPS Navs, what my Titans and HD2 have is customization and that is a sticking point for me in regards to upgrading to the Lumia 92x series.
Guys, newest sandisk 64gb microSDXC will fit Defy?
http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile1-memory-products/sandisk-ultra-microsdxc-card
It will fit in nicely becuse it is the same size as the microSDHC.
It doesnt work out of box ;you have to format it in the phone..then you' ll get 59 GB of free space.
No, i dont have it but i have read about it and it works in htc,samsung..
According to specs, memory is upgrade-able only to 32gb.
Will a 64gb card work?
I think you should take the risk and test it yourself
So does it work? That´s a very nice sd card
the defy supports 32gb sd official. 64 gb not supported. I think for any phone 16gb is stable for space and speed. how do they fill up 32gb?!

There are also reports that they are working on many older devices for those wondering. Some include the EVO 4G, original Galaxy S, and even the HTC Desire Z (aka T-Mobile G2). With both old and new, smartphones and tablets being able to take advantage of the 64GB SD cards this is a good sign many more will have the same fate. We can only assume manufacturers didn’t state SDXC support because none were out on the market at time of launch, or maybe there are other reasons yet unknown.
At first insert the device may say corrupt or error, just reformat your 64GB card inside the Android phone or tablet and you’re good to go. While many are currently working, this doesn’t mean they have full support. The chance of the cards failing, getting errors, and possibly losing all your stored data is still a possibility so use at your own risk for now. Hopefully we see more 64GB SDXC cards soon and at lower prices because $219 is a bit steep for me. — Thanks Murray!

SDXC cards use exfat file system. If defy doesnt support that then it probably wont work.
Ive seen reports of it being working on a lot of phones, so there's a chance it might work on defy, but the card needs to be formatted on pc first before using on phone and it wont work at full speed due to limitation on the old sdhc reader (sdxc reader is faster)
I'm asking to avoid risks ).
Why 64gb? Cause i have 32gb card and it have about 4gb left. Actually last few month i've forced to clean up card from time to time. Audiobooks, DVR, Navigation software, record lections on dictaphone... That stuff takes space but i've used not to worry about `if do i have avaliable space left` ). Also this card declares class 6, now i own Sandisk/32gb class 2, so it not just larger, it laso should be faster. Sometimes DVR+Navigation provides some lags, for example.
maybe the max is 32GB,class 10
you can buy but i thin you will see only 32gb space...
can defy uses class 10 sd card? i heard there is problem in taking picture with class 10 card...
read posts on XDA, yes it has a problem with 6 and 10 class
CM7 and miui can run fine class 10 cards now.

It really works on Defy. I own one for a month now. Cost 80€/106$. Absolutely no problems after format. 59GB free. About 6MB/s write, 16MB/s read speed. Have fun.
Greater than 32Gb?
Biggest I've used is a 32Gb class 10. No problems at all.

This is funny yet strange. Why you think an article on a website has more truth than a forum post of a member? Both are written by a single person. Both can be faked or real.
The guy on the website used a newer Tegra device so his article is irrelevant for Defy users. The SDXC in my Defy works flawlessly for weeks now with 20GB free space left.
Of course you can ignore this. I don't care. But if you need space buy the SDXC and have fun.
