Hello all, anyone know what the max card support for the universals sd/mmc reader is
Thanks
Hi there,
If I'm not wrong, the manual says clearly that universal can read/write SD cards up to 2GB (unless someone with a better expertise than me knows something different).
In any case, this is not completely right, many people uses 4GB cards (including me), but it seems that not all the applications can cope with them, photo camera is one of them, if I'm not wrong, it will not save the photos to the SD unless it has 2GB or less free space.
Somewhere else in this forum, someone else said that he even uses a sam..ung 8GB SD card (very expensive).
Hope this helps

Yup i use a 8GB Samsung SD Card to watch DVD's. I dont have the time to encode DVD's to avi xvid format so i just copy them directly to the 8GB card and watch them on the tcpmp player. Quite fun i believe. I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card release by samsung and sandisk.
im using the 4gb 150x sd card from mobymemory (£47) no probs! nice and quick too noticed tomtom load quicker.
also im using the newest qtek rom and the camera stores to card no probs (dont have to have 2gb used as per some other complaints)
Im getting the 4gb Transcend sd card soon.. im currently using 2gb transcend but I soon realized it still isnt enough...the bigger, the better of course
nuclear, I don't understand... how is an 8GB SD card possible??? 4GB should be the absolute max.
Does the Universal support SDHC in one of the newer ROMs or something?

Well the device will always show you 2000MB regardless of the ROM. But you can put more than 2000MB on your 8GB card and it will read all the files and you can use them. Its just that at this part the memory monitor will show your SD card in the negative section or full. All SD Card are compatible in the HTC Universal. Enjoy.
I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card by Samsung and SanDisk
Brain... does... not... compute.
Nuclear, I need more info. What card did you get? What brand? Is it SD or SDHC? How did you format it?
What's different about the Universal that makes it possible?!?

Its a SD. Samsung 150X 8GB SD Card for $200 or so. I formatted it when i insert it into the Universal. Then i hooked it up to my PC. Transfered a DVD into it. And then back into the Universal and it played the DVD!!!
Hmmm I got one of these

MUCH faster transfers when you put it straight in your PC. I'm thinking of getting the new 2Gb version soon

My Universal screwed up my precious 4GB SanDisk Extreme III card and my 8GB Samsung. Literally it made my 8GB to 2GB and my 4GB to 2GB. I lost 6GB of space on my 8GB card into nothing. I am contacting tech support all day and this is what they posted. THE MAX IS 2GB!!!! >>>>>.<<<<< scary ;(

I was going through the SD specifications, and it looks like that SD 1.1 could support up to 64GB (!!!) using 32KB clusters.
Unfortunately, this won't ever happen, since SD 2.0 flags anything above 2GB as a memory error.
8GB should be possible because FAT32 defaults to 4KB clusters, which would match. Larger capacity would need reformating to match the larger SD clusters, but technically it should be possible, IMHO.
So probably some of the Samsung OEMs do work at 8GB using SD 1.1. But I'm seeing the new auctions say SD 2.0 compatible only.
Oh well, I can live with 4GB, but I hope Windows Mobile adds support for SDHC and MMCplus.
Nuclear, the 4GB Sandisk I believe is SDHC, so it will probably screw things up. The 8GB Samsung you could probably reformat on your PC.
If you have an SDHC and an SD USB reader, use the SD one, as the SDHC one might force you down to 2 GB.
Hey, it's just my guess from reading the specs.

My SanDisk 4GB Extreme III is a SDHC? I was sure i bought a SD only. It says SD on it....
As for my 8GB my PC detects it as only 2GB. Reformatted and again only 2GB. I know another way to fix it. Partition MagiC!!! I lost 6GB in partition space. And same with the other 4GB card. Once i partition it every 2GB it will make 3 cards in 1 . Well stay tuned and i will let you know how paritioning the space helped.
Can anyone recommend a good SD card? I was thinking of buying a Sandisk Ultra II 2Gb SD card.
Also, a new format of SD card has appeared. It is called SDHC and is not backwards compatible with 'old' SD devices, despite being physically identical to the standard SD cards. This new technology pushes card capacity to 8Gb!
I know for sure that some digital camera manufacturers have released a firmware upgrade to make some of their models compatible with SDHC. Perhaps this can be done on Prophet as well.
Just got a 4 GB SDHC card and it's useless on my 818 pro. From what i've learned here, the 818 pro only takes the old 4GB SD card. I suggest you try it 1st if the vendor will allow you.
I agreed .
I USED to 2G kingmax SD
what kind of SD
I use a Transcend 150x 4 GO.
I forget all usb key.
I am slowly but surely filling up my 2Gb card, so need a bigger one. I am a bit confused as to which class of card to buy. I am probably after either a 4Gb or possibly and 8Gb card. But dont know which class to buy.
Could somebody explain the why's and wherefores please?

The higher the class the faster the card and likely more expensive. My US TMO HD2 came with a 16gb class 2 and it works fine, but some games have to be installed on the phone itself because my card is too slow, the games stutter if I try and play from the SD card.
Basically the cheapest card will do unless you have a lot of graphic intensive apps on the card.
I need to use w7. Class4 32gb card is available. How can I use this card in w7, or can I use without any problem which I use with rum. I tried the reset at startup which puts rum always opens by chance, but after seeing this at a time card but gets stuck constantly scratching his rum. Is there a solution or stable rom 32gb class 4 card, which runs with the idea here?
I did my English is not good sorry for that translation google translate
you can try every rom
but its not the rom but your card that is laggy
not every card is good for wp7 so your have to change your card
I'm sorry English is not very good .. Do you have a rom that will support my card now, but I find it needed? previously or currently using a 32gb card and wonder if you have friends among you?

nothing to do with the size, 32GB is the maximum our hardware is capable of taking, buying a 32GB card for our device in the HOPE that it works seems a bit mental to me, yours doesnt work by the sound of it, but that is not because of the size, some of us believe its to do with random access speeds, class 2 or 4 is usually a good bet but by no means will they give you a 100% chance of it working.
Both my Sandisk 32gb cards have worked fine for me... 1 is class 2 with part number ending in A11M, the other is class 4 ending in P36A. Sandisk is a good brand and are pretty consistent in their cards, but even so, there's no 100% certainty that getting the same card will have the same exact performance... but I believe Sandisk gives you the best chance of working well.
I have also tried with my Kingston class 4 32gb card, but that card didn't work too well... was laggy, and kept resetting and not reading the card after reset.
What brand of SD card are you using?
integral micro sd hc 32gb class 4
Hey. It will work 64GB sd card with no lag and overheat phone? I wanna buy 64micro sd.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yes, I ran a SanDisk 64gig for a while with no issues.
I have 128Gb SDXC microSD card and it work fine with my S4 (exFAT formatted). I have successfully tested some 64Gb cards too.
Make sure get faster card. im using 64GB with u1 class sandisk.
fine for me, no lagging

hi, i buyed 64 memory card 10class with no logo brand name, and pasting files from pc it taking long 32gb time 11hours, wtf i wanna buy SAND DISK 32GB Ultra, so faster speed than this bull****??????????????????? im pissed of when it taking to long copied files.
1. Self-censoring is not sufficient to avoid an infraction from moderators. I highly suggest editing your post and removing all the curse words within it.
2. Buying a no-name MicroSD card is the source of all your problems. I bet that card was really inexpensive, right? That's because the card manufacturer lied to you and told you the card was Class 10 when it really is Class 2 or Class 4. These cards are far slower than a true Class 10 card, but are far less expensive as well.
3. It's good to see you've learned the lesson here, which is to only buy brand name MicroSD cards. Sandisk is a good choice.
