Transcend 2GB 80x / 4GB miniSD

I just bought an transcend 2gb 80x card and it works untill i leave the phone for a bit or it has done some kind of acces to the card and all of a
sudden the card is not seen by the phone.
Now i am going to write a mail to see what can be the problem since it
works fine in my card-reader in my pc. On the other hand it works fine in
the phone too untill it suddenly dissapeared. One time i seen this 2 files that
where on the card after it "died" .. one little file and some sort of bin file .
which looked to me like it was some sort of cd image..
Anyone had similar problems ?
Allthough i read somewhere that so called SDHC are not supported i found
some registry values in the device area that at least tells the operating system supports it, so does the build-in card reader. which suggests that 4gb cards should work, but i'm no guru at this matter so i cant tell for sure.
here is a site which has a lot of minisd cards http://www.flash-memory-store.com/mini-secure-digital.html

If you bought a 4gb miniSD card you got ripped off.
There is no such thing available to the public yet.
Any miniSD card claiming to be 4gb are just miniSD cards that are actually smaller capacity with hacked firmware to make them appear as 4gb to operating systems.
If you don't believe me have a look at Transcend's official website:
http://www.transcendusa.com/Products/ModDetail.asp?ModNo=17&LangNo=0
No 4gb cards listed. Only 2gb.
SanDisk is working on a new miniSD standard called miniSDHC that will be able to hold 4gb of data, but current miniSD devices will not be able to use this miniSDHC cards.
Read up on SanDisk's website here:
http://www.sandisk.com/Corporate/PressRoom/PressReleases/PressRelease.aspx?ID=3530

I beg to differ. I just loaded my MiniSD card that I bought on eBay PAST 2gb (with porn RSS feeds nonetheless) and it's working just fine. There have also been other successful cards purchased from well known retails.
2GB MiniSD formatted = 1907MB (or around that) showing on the memory readout for memory card... I have used 1964mb and am still writing, now 1965, and 66. As long as it works and I don't lose data, fine. I could care less. Most of us have hacked our Wizards, which could have severe repercussions in the future, but does it really seem like any of us care?
If they were hacked to appear as 4gb and only 2gb, that would MEAN that at 1907mb, my device would have crashed because it couldn't write anymore even though it thinks it can. However, that is not the case with these cards, and to hack the card to put some sort of "compression" built in, is impractical, not feasible, and impossible without some software or extra hardware chip in the middle of the entire process, thus raising the cost of them. There is none of that at work here, this is straight up flash memory, 4gb of it. The fact that I'm speaking from experience, watching my Wizard RIGHT NOW writing more than 2gb of data to the card with no problem, able to play the video back without issue, says, in all practicality, that the damn thing is 4gb and works. Now if you want to dispute this I am attaching screenshots from inside the device proving this point.
Oh and if you're looking for a working 4gb card like I have: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1100646

You don't seem to understand how solid state memory works.
Come back in a month or 2 and let me know how well that card is working for you
I gaurantee you that card will die in a short amount of time.

So what you're sitting there telling me, is that manufacturers knowingly produce 4gb+ capacity flash chips, and then mark them 2gb with a "firmware" flash? How insane is that? Flash chips are based on the same level of technology that RAM is. Switching circuits, 1 OR 0, and there is a predefined and set amount of switching circuits on any chip as manufactured by the companies. Now, what you're sitting here trying to tell me, is by a simple "firmware" flash, these chips are holding DOUBLE their original PHYSICAL capacity on a technology that is a static, unexpandable, and certainly not double-bit compatible. How much else are you going to say to defend this? Just your "wait 2 months and tell me how that card is working"? It's not going to cut it, you cannot make a 2gb card appear as a 4gb and then enable it to fill the card to 4gb. There is only 1 type of "flash" memory that is double-bit, it's expensive as ****, and would certainly not afford such low pricetags as we're finding. Your arguement is flawed. Show me some documentation on a solid state flash card, NAND to be specific, that has the ability to "expand" it's capacity BEYOND it's physical limitations. Look up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory
Just defending my point.

I'm not going to argue a point I already proved in my 1st post.
Read the 2 links.

as far as i know there is no miniSD 4gb card. THERE IS HOWEVER A 4Gb SDHC mini. From other posts that i have read on cingular, all you need to do is forat the card on an external reader on your computer and then the card will read and write like a mini SD card
http://www.transcendusa.com/Products/ModDetail.asp?ModNo=129&LangNo=0

Just wondering why there is still so much rumor about that topic - dozens of people already reported 4GB miniSD cards to work on their PDAs and hundreds of them have been sold at ebay. Nobody ever complained about a 4GB card (NOT marked as SDHC) not to work on their PDA - so what's the point in questioning that?? I personally don't care whether these ones are HC or not, as long as they work and hold 4GB of data, which was proofed by so many people...

THANK YOU! Yeesh, how hard is it to ACCEPT that there are 4gb miniSD cards, even if they're NOT made and marked by some big overpriced company? You'd buy a stick of 4gb DDR or DDR2 RAM for your computer if it was available, even if it was with a brand you'd never heard of, or no brand marking at all. Why the hell should miniSD be any different?
GldRush, your two links, point to a specific manufacturer's "standards" for how to make a 4gb miniSD work (when other companies have already adapted normal miniSD to 4gb), and an online retailer (who's not obligated to carry a 4gb miniSD or may not have any in stock). My link however points towards known information proving my point in the fact you can't have more memory than there is physically storable, no matter how you "hack" a card. (Change alloc tables, it just changes sector sizes, compression is illogical and impractical, hacking the card to appear as 4gb when it's a 2gb yields the results we saw from another person's venture showing half-full card all the time.) You say your point is proven with those 2 links, it's not.

can you point us to this topic jimmyjam ?
as i looked on transcend site i came up to this:
compatibilitylist for wizard memcards
now my question is wouldn't it be a strange idea to think this 4gb minisd normal ones are actually refurnished mmc cards ?
here is the datasheet of the card i bought :
pdf datasheet 2gb 80x transcend minisd
so it should be working fine in my wizard but it does strange things... same happend in this other wizard before and after a new rom upgrade.. and in this nokia n73... but the cardreader which is a usb2.0 56-sorts-of-memcard-reading device has no problem with it. I'm totally lost on it. could it be the power the card needs or its thin size ?

help with cabs on new sd card

Just received a 32Gb sd card and copied over all my files and cabs etc.
But when trying to reinstall the .cabs to my storage card and keep getting this message "installation of .cab was unsuccessful" ?????
has anyone got any ideas? I have had to go back to my sd card?

didn't think there was any decent 32gig cards available yet, did you format the card in your phone first?

The correct procedure (which I did only last evening with my new Sandisk 32GB mSD, it will take approx. 2hrs. depending on capacity and content of old mSD - mine had full 15,5GB):
1. Put back old SD-card
2. Switch HD 2 into flight mode (!!!!)
3. Connect to PC in HARDDISK Mode (not ActiveSync)
4. Open mSD card on PC and make ALL files accessible (also system-files etc.)
5. Copy entire content of old mSD to a fgolder on the PC
6. Disconnect HD2 from PC
7. Switch HD2 off and place new 32GB mSD into HD2
8. Switch HD2 ON
9. Check if mSD is recognized and shows right capacity (29-31 GB depending)
(EDIT: 10. Format mSD with format-prog in Settings-menu. HD2 STILL IN FLIGHT MODE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (EDIT!!!: MAYBE BY FORMATTING YOU COULD GOOF THE CARD, SO BEST IS TO USE IT AS IT IS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX !!!! AND TRY TO FORMAT IT ONLY IN CASE IT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY OUT OF THE BOX !!!!!!!!!)
11. Connect HD2 again in Harddisk-Mode to PC
12. Copy all files from backup-folder of PC to the new mSD
13. Disconnect HD2 from PC
14. Switch HD2 OFF
15. Restart and enjoy Your new richdom of mem-space
DO NOT ACTIVATE ANY RADIO (GSM, 3G, HSDPA, WIFI DURING ENTIRE PROCEDURE !!!!!!! It might brick Your new expensive mSD-card cause WM once in while writes to it creating funny disorders on the new card.)
After restarting with new mSD there might be a "services.exe"-error. Switch off again and switch on again. No error-message any more.
I strongly recommend to invest 24 bucks for pocket mechanic or SKTools (I prefer PM but have both running). It helps You to optimize Your entire HD2 and evaporate all crap accumulated when playing around with install and del of mods and apps. Makes WM pretty stable and snappy

troed thank you, but i am still having problems????
i have a games folder with cabs in and when i copy them over they dont even show and a few other folders have become like encryted??? cant open them or delete them ??? maybe the card is faulty????

Most problems with uSD cards seem to be caused by low capacity fakes being sold as high capacity branded cards.
I'd suggest checking it with h2testw - or alternatively if your new 32GB uSD card isn't a sandisk card bought from a reputable retailer for a lot of money, you don't need to test it to know that it's fake.

Well, andyfoster could be right .....
I always buy my SD and mSD cards (only Sandisk) either at amazon, expansys or mobilefun and never ever had a single problem with them (e.g. I also run 32GB SD and MemStick in my Vaio).
Once I bought a Pretec 128GB SSD Express Card for the Vaio, filled it with read only files ...... worked ........... but when I wanted to check the content the SSD was dead/bricked.
What else could it be theoretically ?
Once I bought a Kingston DataTraveler-USB-Stick 64 GB and wanted to fill it with vid-files. In copy process it got stuck so I formatted it and now I have only 32GB available.
Why ?
As delivered the 64GBstick was formatted FAT 32, allowing only files less than 4GB saved onto it. This my fault then. One vid-files was 6 GB and gave an error. But when I destroyed the original format from Kingston with my formatting I lost half of the capacity with no workaround left.
What do I wann say with this ?
I don´t know if THAT could be the case, but MAYBE these high cap-SDs do have a special "Factory-format" that should not be changed ! When I received my 32GB mSD IT WORKED PERFECT OUT OF THE BOX ! I did no format. But, honestly, since it is a lill bit expensive I don´t wanna experiment with formatting it now.
But MAYBE it is a fake-card ..................

Yes, the first thing to know is how much you paid for the card and what brand it is... we've seen "ORIGINAL KINGSTON 32GB MICROSD CARD NO FAKE!!!1!ONE" on ebay, when Kingston never manufactured a single 32GB card yet...

This is a sandisk by the way, (well it says sandisk on it ) and its funny you mentioned the format? it is formated wth the name fat32 hhmmmm and i am trying to put 13gb of stuff on it???, I have reformatted it again last night it took hours?? I might try again and if not i will just have to have a replacement?
after trying again, i notice this error regarding certain file names are to long??? and also if i create a folder and name it vids or movies it automaticly puts folders in side which cannot be opened or deleted? and the folders name will be ".?:-~~{"
its got to be the card right?

I have returned the card and asked for a replacement?

what follows is unrelated to the main topic in this thread...
about the bold part in your post above...i thought i should tell you that there IS a workaround!
fact is that FAT32 is a file system in which a single file cannot be larger than 4GB. you should have gotten an error from explorer BEFORE even a single byte of the 6GB file was written.
more importantly, you should know that FAT32 fully supports very large partitions like 100GB, etc (at the cost of slower performance and/or wastage due to large cluster size at that capacity). what most people conclude is that it SEEMS like you can only create up to 32GB FAT32 partitions "at home" while larger sized FAT32 partitions can only be "created in a factory format". this misconception is entirely because the disk management in windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 enforce this limit when formatting!
google it and you will see that it is just an arbitrary limit by microsoft and these same operating systems have NO PROBLEMS reading/writing FAT32 partitions greater than 32GB. once again, it is JUST an arbitrary limitation of the default formatting routines shipped with windows. there is a great little tool (i forget the name of the program but its executable is called "guiformat.exe") that will allow you to format FAT32 greater than 32GB.
all of the above got me thinking about something though...it seems that manufacturers have chosen FAT32 as the de facto standard for most mobile devices with removable card storage (like smartphones, digital cameras, mp3 players, etc), likely because of FAT32's lack of complexities like security and the standard's relative "openness" compared to that of NTFS, for example. makes me wonder about the nice surprise people will start to have once greater than 32GB cards become available and when people will attempt to format them with windows, expecting everything to go smoothly...but oh the horror when windows won't let them format greater than 32GB. good times ahead!

[Q] 32GB Micro SDHC Problems

Hi, first of all, sorry if Ive posted this in the wrong forum.
Right, basically, I purchased a new HD2 last month (I love it!) and it came with a stock 2GB micro sd card, which is not big enough for the music and movies I want to put on my phone. I purchased a Sandisk 32GB Micro SDHC off ebay, it was genuine, came in genuine packaging etc.
Now, I was transfering music onto the memory card via the phone using a program called iTunes Sync, which transfers music contained in my iTunes to an MP3 Player/memory card. Half way through the transfer, it stopped and the phone/memory card automatically disconnected from my computer. The memory card was then unrecognised by the phone, so I performed a soft reset and the phone went past the HTC screen and then went black, and wouldn't boot. However, when I removed the card, the phone would boot up fine.
I put the memory card into a card reader I have and plugged it into my computer.Windows recognised the memory card, but it only had a capacity of 8MB and Windows could not format it or access it. I also put the card into an SD Adapter, making sure it was in the unlock position, as I'd read this could have solved the problem.
Unfortunately for me, it didn't. However, I contacted the seller and they sent me a replacement (exactly the same card). Today, I've put the replacement card in, started using iTunes Sync and the exact same thing has occured.
Now, what I want to know is if these are genuinely defunct memory cards, if theres a problem with my phone, if I should stop using iTunes Sync (although I can't understand how a program can make a memory card non-functional), if I should get a smaller sized memory card, if its a problem with my computer, or if I'm just attracting a lot of bad luck!
I just want to know what is happening or what I can do to make sure it doesn't happen again. As you may understand, I'm getting very frustrated.
Any help is appreciated

*sigh*...dude search search search!
it has been discussed in many many threads. ebay sellers are notorious for selling "fake" sd cards. it turns out, so far very few manufacturers have very few models that are genuinely 32GB. the "fake" ones are specially formatted to present themselves as 32GB, until you start filling them up. then, surprise!
there are some software tools that can confirm that it is a fake, i forget the name.
summary: you have been sold a fake card. search some more to read other similar threads...you'll find many which contain EXACTLY the same symptoms as yours and conclusions as mine.

what he said.

It could very likely be fake if you got it off ebay. How much did you pay? What class is it and what is the part number on it? I have 2 32gb Sandisk cards... 1 is class 2, 1 is class 4... both work great. Sandisk is the best brand cards out there, but there's a lot of counterfeits.

[Q] Copy error to storage card

Using an HD mini, latest ROM 1.36.401.1 fitted with a 32GB memory card.
Phone syncs fine and I can copy files to the storage card using activesync but as this is very slow with larger files I've tried to use the disk drive mode.
Problem is that the file starts to copy and after a few minutes of transfer I get the error message "The Parameter is incorrect" After this I have to disconnect the phone and reconnect to be able to try again.
It was one of the reasons I bought the phone and added the memory was to be able to load on some video to watch. I use it for music files and sysnc these using media monkey with no problems at all.
Any idea's....?
I checked the HTC site but found nothing, I've also formatted the card in the phone in case it didn't like it being formatted in the PC.

I use a Sandisk 8GB Class 2 SDHC card, never experienced that kind of problem. But I have to say I never tried any files larger than around 1 GB.
What brand do you have? And how big are the files?

The card is unbranded and the video files are 80 - 170MB. I have some other cards so I can try one of them to see if this fixes the issue.

might be the usb data cable ,have you tryed another microusb cable ? or try to load files to microsd using sd-(usb)adapter and see if you still have this error

I tried another cable but the same thing. I've also tried a 1GB Sandisk card as well and that runs with no problems. This unbranded card claims SDHC but maybe it's not high enough quality for the HTC. Wouldn't be the first time a product rejects a certain media.
I've actually just ordered a new Sandisk 16GB class 4 card to try that one out. Should have it early next week and will report back what happens.

Ok, I think if you run a checkdisk on the 32GB card it will report errors. It could be a cheap clone from China, which are known to have quality issues.

Ordered from eBay but a supplier that sells them in original packaging plus gives a guarantee that they are originals.

So received a new 16GB card today, fitted to the phone, copied over some files, so far so good. But then TCPMP would not read the video files saying the MP3 codec is invalid and the other thing I notice is that the storage card is now called Card2. In explorer from the PC it shows two storage cards as:-
Storage card
Storage card2
I seem to be going backwards, powered the phone off/on numerous times, also with the card removed, reformated the card but can't stop it from seeing the card as card2.
Getting so pi$$ed off with this now.

OK a quick update, I fitted the original 1GB card, the phone recognised this as the first storage card and the card2 reference disappeared. I fitted the new 16GB one and all back to normal no card2 issue.
What I don't understand is how it happened and what changed it back. As I intend to load TomTom onto the card the last thing I want is this happening again in the middle of driving.

Never heard of this problem before. Can't think of a cause, maybe something with partitions on your SD card?

128gb micro sd card problems

Hello All
I bought a 128gb micro sd card for my z3 compact only to find out that i will need to format the card to fat32, which seems to be impossible now, i cant even format mat it to anything now let alone to fat32.
I have tried as many way to do this as possible but i keep getting errors of "format didnt complete" or some variation of that.
I have tried using cmd prompt, GUIFORMAT, windows disk managment and multiple youtuve videos.
I have read that the phone can take this type of card if you can format it to fat32. If someone has achieved this or has any advice, it would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks

Get a refund as soon as possible. You almost definitely received either a dud or a counterfeit. If you do end up being able to format it (any file system will do) run this:
https://www.raymond.cc/blog/download/did/77/
If that reports it's stable, try formatting it as NTFS in Windows. FAT32 can't handle files larger than 4gb, and exFAT isn't compatible with Android, iirc.

you sir are a great man.
i think the card is messed up, i cant even open it in windows, acting if its not even there. Even in the properties i get no deteials, everything is 0. Putting it in my phone even says sd card is damaged.
I keep reading people have these cards in tehir phones and tablets. Are you aware of a way to do this?
im sending this card back and getting either a smaller one or research into how others have managed to do it.

If it is a sdxc card, u tried to Format it via phone? Never had problems with my 64gb card

I have 128GB card too. Just put it in the phone and let it determine the type it wants. After insert the card, open setting - storage - erase SD Card. Then the 128GB should become exFat.

I have a 128gb SanDisk card in my phone atm. I formatted it to exfat on Windows 8.1 and then inserted it into my phone and formatted it again using the phones format sdcard option. (cus I'm thorough like that)
Currently it is listed as being formatted as texfat.

I'm not sure what you're asking here exactly, but when a card works *properly* you can just insert into basically any device and it'll format it in a few different ways, not unlike a usb flash drive.
I've had your exact problem before, though. I bought a 128gb sd card from a seller with a really high rating on Ebay, but it was for $55 and I should've known better. It was almost definately a 32GB or 64GB disk that had been re-partitioned to look like a higher capacity drive. The 'new' disk would destroy any data copied over to it after a certain limit was reached, a limit that got smaller and smaller the longer I held on to it. I'd format it, start copying, the copy would fail, the disk would eject itself, Windows wouldn't recognize it until formatting it, rinse repeat forever. I wasn't even trying to fill it to the brim, 'just' my 55ish GB music collection. I ended up actually finding one for $80 on Amazon, which ended up working flawlessly.
If you don't mind my asking, where did you buy it from? How much did you pay? What was the seller's ranking and review history like?

I have had similar experiences myself with micro sd cards from eBay. It seems to be inconsistent regarding particular sellers and the quality of the cards. I would imagine there are sellers also getting scammed by wholesalers claiming to have legitimate cards.
Needless to say, I only buy micro sd cards now from sellers that are
A) in my home country, where I know they are bound by local law regarding faulty goods
B) selling brand name micro sd cards in their original packaging.
I might not save as much money by playing it safe, but it's worth it to be able to rely on a product and have a local warranty to back it up.

I've had problems with Busybox installed on phone and it corrupting SD cards somehow, "Busybox on rails" was the fix for me, also it seemed to fix the damaged??? SD card after a reformat.

I also experienced similar problems with my 64gb card. It worked flawless in my Phone for some months, but when i put it in a defective card reader and connected it to my NAS, the card seemed dead. My Phone said the card was corrupted and it wasn't able to format it. My Windows PC didn't recognize it at all. Also "sd formatter" which never failed in the past, couldn't get the card back to life.
So I checked the card with fdisk under linux and I could see, that the partition table was totally messed up. I deleted the partition table and after that the card was working again.
No problems in the last 2 months. And since I have a fully automated daily backup to my local NAS, there is no need to exchange the card "just in case".
