Quick question: Does anyone know if there's a limit on the size of the micro-sd card on the Pharos?
Thanks!
MicroSD HC until 32 Go
Now I can get a up to 16G TF card in China, I've got a 8G for the moment.
According to SDHC, the maximum size of a TF should be 32G

does anyone know if the universal will take the new 8 gb sd cards that are coming out. cause i hear that the new 8 gb card will be a different format than the current 4 gig cards. im acheing to buy the 8 gig but dont know if it will accept it at all
"Pretec 8GB SD card is fully compliant with SD 2.0 (SDHC) specification with access speed up to 20MB/sec. The maximum capacity of SD card is 2GB under SD 1.1 of Secure Digital Alliance (SDA) specification; however, by using file format of FAT32, many SD 1.1 host devices can use 4GB SD card which Pretec pioneered since 2005. SD 1.0/1.1 uses traditional “Byte Addressing” scheme which limits the maximum capacity to 4GB while SD 2.0 adopts “Sector Addressing” scheme which is the same with the technique applied by Mu-Card Alliance in 2004 to reach the maximum capacity of 2TB (2048GB). Pretec is one of the major founders and main contribution member of Mu-Card Alliance, who joined force with MMCA in June 2005 (www.mmca.org/press/Mu_Card_Final.pdf). With capacities of 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB, Pretec 8GB SDHC is now available for key customer sampling at unit price $299. Mass production is scheduled by Q4/2006."
I would love to know the answer to this - as I am very highly tempted by an 8GB SD card I've spotted for sale somewhere, my 4GB card is nearly full...

I read around a little throw the internet and was pointed to some Universal reviews and they all tell thet 4GB is possible and 8GB as far as it is available. So I think the chance to get it running is at 80%
Take a look here for info:

SD-HC is a new standard, not compatible with the SD 1.1 standard that maxes out at 2Gb. SD 1.1 is what the Universal uses. The 4Gb cards you are seeing use a 'loophole' in the specifications.
In other words: 4Gb is the maximum you will see for the Universal. And no, this cannot be remedied by a driver update, as the SD controller is embedded into the ARM processor (AFAIK).
Hope this helps...
I am perhaps hours from buying HTC Tytn..and from what I can see maximum size you can buy is 2 gig. Compared to my pocket pc (which had an sd and cf slot), I can put up to 4gig cards in its slot. I am going to really miss having a bigger capacity for extra programs, and memory for files. If they do come out with a larger Micro SD,, lets say eventually 4gig for example, do you think that all it would take to be able to adopt this new size would be to to a ROM upgrade (update) or is it written in stone that the max on this unit is 2 gigs.
Thx for any input, and especially any enlightenement in regards to larger micro sd's that are on the horizon.

AFAIK there is no 2Gig limit and 4 gig would be OK, but lets here from others.

4GB is coming soon.. but will it work?

Anyone know if that will work on a hermes device?
Is MicroSDhc a different incompatible standard?
I dont think wm device do support sdhc system so we are limited to 2 gb or at maximum 4gb but no sdhc....
i will be more then happy if anyone can prove me wrong...
PS:just a note somewhere i read that the maximum possible capacity for micro sd is 32gb but im not sure is it obtainable with sd 2.0 specification (sdhc) or with standard sd 1.1 specification....??
SDHC cards don't work in normal SD slots, like the Hermes has one. There is hope for non SDHC 4GB MicroSD cards though, because there have been 4GB SD cards and now also 4GB Mini SD cards available, that are non SDHC compliant and work in standard Pocket PCs. So let's hope for non SDHC 4GB MicroSD that will work in our Hermes.

That's where th iphone looks good. Damn... 8Gb !
Can tab 7.7 support 64gb sdcard? When i see the spec on web, it says upto 32gb, that confused me

Yes, a 64 GB MicroSDXC card works fine.
I bought this card at Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...WIA2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1329538822&sr=8-2
and it works great with the 7.7 tab.
I can even format it to NTFS format and transfer 6 - 8 GB movie file to the 64 GB card and watch it perfectly on the 7.7 tab.
But I think the c/p value isn't worth of it.
2 times storage room than 32g sd card,but price is 4 times of it...
Micro SD sucks. Sammy could have put in a regular sized SD card, it is a tab there is plenty of room. *128 GB* SD cards are cheaper than the skimpy 64 gb micro SD cards.
Yep, works as mentioned above.
Sure you could have two 32GB cards, but myself I'd rather not have to swap them out all the time.
Hi,
Which SD card should I get for this
does it support 64GB? I want it as fast as possible, do I need...
Sandisk Ultra
Sandisk Mobile Ultra
Sandisk Mobile Ultra UHS 1 (ultra high speed)
Class 10
SDHC? SDXC??
I don't know which ones will work ok I would like to store files larger than 4GB on there if possible
Thanks
the 64GB ones work if there formatted to fat32 BEFORE putting them in the TAB, but fat32 stops at the 4GB file size limit, I don't know if these tablets support the needed file structures through SD that are needed to have files over 4GB.
Just did some reading and it looks like a few devices are starting to get exfat support with the newest version of android, which could get us around the 4GB file size limit.
Hi all
I bought a device on the processor 8227 and it reads 16GB SD card maximum. I tried 32Gb SDHC, 64Gb SDXC cards, with a different format (FAT32, exFAT), but no result, the device does not see the card. See only the old card maximum 16GB.
What cards work for you?
Maybe there are specifications 8227L processor, I would like to see how it works with SD cards
I use Lexar 256 gb fine.
