Trinity miniSD card choice

I've read a lot around and I do not come to conclusion what type miniSD card is most appropriate for my Trinity.
Currently I have 4GB Albatron x60 card which cause me a certain amount of troubles -- sometimes after soft reset some of the contents are missing.
However I want to buy new card (4, 6 or 8 GB) and I don't know which one to choose.
I've read some articles for SDHC cards and I've come across several SDHC patches for WM6, but I'm not sure which one to pick. I even don't know whether SDHC is appropriate at all for my device.
Please ... give me some advise for this matter.

SanDisk
I'm using a Sandisk 8gb micro SDHC card with an adapter Micro/Mi,i from Kingston.
At first runnig under WM5 only recognised 4gb , made an upgrade to WM6 and... card is working perfectly.
So good luck.

No issues at all ? I'm using WM6 too.
What is your ROM version and vendor ... if it is cooked it may be patched for SDHC.
I'm still using the stock Dopod WM6 ROM.

card memory 4G?

XDA trion card memory 4G.............?

HTC Hermes memory
I'm personally running a 4GB microSDHC from SanDisk. I've read where some people are running up to 8 GB, but I think it makes a difference which ROM you have loaded.
Being a PDA owner since Windows CE and clamshells, I've found that as long as you stick with name brands of memory cards, sticks, etc. you should be fine.
I hope this helps!

My OS is T-Mobile WM6 german and works fine with 6GB microSDHC from SanDisk

Most cooked wm6/6.1 roms should run with the sdhc cards. This is one of the reasons we flash our phones....

My understanding is that any microsd card over 2 gig (I've never seen one over 2 gig that isn't) is a SHDC card. SDHC support requires WM6 and the driver for the card reader that supports SHDC.
As far as I know, every WM6 ROM available, cooked or otherwise, has the newer driver.

The stock WM5 ROM will not support SDHC cards. I do believe that there is a program floating around that will allow WM5 to recognize SDHC cards. I have the stock WM6 from HTC/ATT & my 4G SDHC works without any problems. The only problem that I ran into is that my card read for my laptop will not recognize the card. There shouldn't be any issues with the 6G or 8G cards either.

Memory card

Hi!
Just got my first memory card ever - put it in but can't see or access it, not appearing in storage device.
its an 8gb mini used through an mini s adapter..
please help!!

Hi.
I had simillar problem with my card. Wizard is not like the other phones, it can't read cards which are damaged or not formatted. Obviously, yours is not damaged. Simply just access the card through your PC, format it, insert the card into the wizard (you will see no change at all so far), reset your phone and after windows mobile loads, it will ask you if you want to fomat the card - yes, format it. And there you go, you have yourself a storage device
Hope it works.
P.S.
There's also one other option, your card is too big to be handled by your device.

but it seems to be formatted
Hi. seems its formatted, although I did not format it.
I Put it into (vista) computer and it just worked. When I did a "show properties" on the card it was FAT 32 formatted.
Is there a Max limit to the size of card?

8gig mini or micro?
If it is a 8 gig micro your phone will not read it. Sorry will only ready mini sd's
not micros or mini sdhc.

even...
Hi!
even though I'm using a MicroSD adapter??
thanx

On my wiz, my card is running FatFS , not Fat32. It could make the difference, i am not sure. Since you are in a zero position, you have nothing to lose with one more format, so just format the card in your pc and restart your wizard with the card inserted. If this doesn't help, then greasemuntney is prolly right and you can't use this card.

fatfs
Hi so right
Whats FatFS??
thanx

as mentioned above the wizard does not support SDHC standard and your 8GB happens to be SDHC.

awwwwwwwwwww c rap
damn... so is there a firmware upgrade? or something that I can do to upgrade the phone to use sdhc??
I got this card as a present so can't swap it?

Nope, you're bagged. Phone cannot read SDHC, no matter what kind of adapters, ROMs or firmware you attempt to employ. Try selling the chip on Craigslist and use the money to buy a bunch of 2GB cards.

SDHC
ok before a final verdict that wizard wouldn't read an sd that is in sdhc format (fat32 reliant) do note that i had the same problem but googled to find two solutions that didn't work alone yet combined did !
first of all you need to change the latency of the card read in registray as follows:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
“PNPUnloadDelay“=dword:8196
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
“PNPWaitIODelay“=dword:8196
Note that the 8196 should be entered as a DECIMAL value. The HEXADECIMAL (HEX) equivalent is 0×00002004.
now attached are two sdhc drivers that require (acording to uploader) to be installed cab file first for registry tweaks and then replace both files installed in windows directory with others included in driver bundle. (through instruction guide in a txt file is included within zip file)
finally reboot , yet as a disclamer do note the following your device will not be backward compatible with regular sds . (not untill you hard reset it so it would restore original dlls and setting)

Interesting. If this works for anyone besides night-mayor, please post your hardware(G3/G4)/IPL/SPL...tracking successes and failures with this method will be valuable to other users.

In fact, you can only use standard SD cards (mini or micro with mini adapter) and the maximum capacity for standard SD protocol is 4GB, but it's difficult to find 4GB Standard SD cards (micor or mini).
Most of manufacturer actually sells HC card for 4GB size, and on web stores, it's often not very precise about HC or none HC.
Good luck...

List of working 4GB Mini SD cards.
If it ain't here, it ain't working, generally speaking (it is not comprehensive). As you can see, they do make 4GB cards that aren't using the HC configuration, but they are rare. One of the replies on the thread I linked to above even mentions an 8GB kit, but it did not work.

MicroSDHC on HTC prophet

Hello,
I bough a MicroSDHC 4 GB memory card for the prophet, but the only problem is It is not recognizing, some one told me that it is because of the file system of format, my 2 GB micro SD card have FAT format and 4 GB had FAT32 by default, so I reformated it in FAT and still I can't get it working, it's not regognizing.
Well, I saw a thread on web some where saying to download "driver" and install it on the non-supporting MicroSDHC device and it will start recognizing. Is it true?
Please help, if it is possible do tell me some decent way thanks.
FAISAL!!!!!!!

SDcard problem

Hello. I have a problem regarding my vizibility of the sd card on the device. I used to manage it on HTC touch HD, and now, I want to use it on Diamond 2. But it is not recognized by Diamond 2. I've format it quick, low (longer), fat, fat32, ntfs, but without succes. I've installed 3 different ROM's, but still nothing. On the PC is working without any problems. It is an 4GB microSD HC card

you mean your TD2 can't even detect the microSD when you go to File Explorer?

yes. i cannot see at all the microsd on my device. only on the PC.

and i've tried also 2 different microSD cards: 1gb, and 2gb (Nokia this one) and is working with those one. I've tried my microSD card on a Nokia and htc p3300 and is working.

I presume the roms were not loaded via the microSD, then? Do you see the microSD cards via ActiveSync?

nop, not at all. I cannot see the microSD in any other way (not even microsoft active center - Windows 7). But, those 2 microSD (1, 2gb) i can see. And yes, i didn't install the ROM from the microSD.

solve it by replacing it with a 2gb sd card.

the memory card is not me out with the official wm 6.5 ROM
what can I do to boot the card??
ah no problem of card because started the card with the adapter to the PC and read it perfectly.
I have D2 and the card is the Kingston with 4Gb....
I can help my problem??

Hello,
My problem is solve, I changed the card....

At last I found people with the same BIG problem of mine!!! I NEVER succeded in using ANY (nor cooked nor official) WM6.5 version and I am getting quite desperate So, it appears that 4GB Kingston SD is not "WM6.5 compatible"..I tried also Sandisk 2GB SD with the same miserable result...Lucky me!!
If it solves the issue, I am prone to buy a new SD card, but how does it have to be to work correctly?? what specs,what size is supported, is there a recommended brand?
My forum search led me to a closed thread and here, is this the only "SD and WM6.5 problem" related thread?

Strange, because I have the same memory cards, Kingston 4 GB, and I never had any problems. Currently I have WM6.5 official and works well.
You tried to format it?

Thanks for feedback!! Yes I formatted it in all possible ways, with PC adapter and within the device . As I feared, there is not a general rule to determine wether a SD card will work with WM6.5 or not and I am not rich enough to buy SD cards until one woks

I've heard it has something to do with the country in which the card was made. China was OK and Korea wasn't, or somthing like that. Don't really know whether that's correct though.

thanks, going to check that, ANY SUGGESTION IS WELCOME !!

What is the class of your memory card? Mine is class 4

I think it's a class 4, but if you tell me how to be sure I'll check better. Maybe using a diagnostics software?
EDIT:I just took the SD card out, I can read "SDC4/4GB"...maybe C4 stands for category 4..Again, help much appreciated!

From Topaz I don't know if you can see the class. It is in the packaging.

what's your actual ROM?

ITA WM 6.5 Original

ah ok, already tried that without success..and that was when I got disppointed the most
