Has anyone managed to get hold of one of these yet?
I got mine this morning having found the 1GB I had previously to small.
Its just a basic Sandisk 2.0 GB card same type as my 1GB but my M3100 is not seeing it. It works fine in my pc card reader but the PDA is just not picking it up. :?
Anyone got any ideas?
Its formatted using FAT32 straight out of the box.
Any ideas would be great.

I will remember there was a problem with other HTC devices with SD cards larger than 1GB depending on the reading speed.
I'm not entirely sure, memory a bit vague about this, but have a look around.
Have u tried a soft reset after inserting the card? Seems to work most of the time assuming the TyTN isnt faulty. I use a Sandisk 2GB myself with no problems.

Same here.
Im using Sandisk 2gb and all working fine too..
Same here. No problems with the SanDisk 2GB card
Is the card formatted with FAT32?? afaik standard FAT (aka FAT16) wont address volumes higher than 1.2GB???
Slap the card in your PC and format it with FAT32 instead then give that a shot!?
EDIT:: i stand corrected....FAT16 can (technically) support up to 2GB, but try it anyway!!!
I have the Scandisk MicroSD 2GB as well, however mine is formated is FAT. It came that way and I also checked the existing 1GB I have it was also formated as FAT.
I did one time format my 2GB as FAT32 and it did not seem to perform better so I went back to FAT.
Nonetheless, both FAT and FAT32 seems to work okay for me.
so im excited to get a 8gb card for my kaiser,so i pop it in and reset...goto memory>storage card NOTHING!pop it out put it in my pc and invalid process!!!WTF?!?!?!help please
Have you tried to format the card from your PC. If that doesn't work you might have a bad card. Sucks but it does happen sometimes.
Also, please remember that these portable handsets are usually not NTFS file format compatible. Be sure when you are formatting that the card is in FAT or FAT32 mode, with default block sizes and allocation.
Also, it does sound to me that your card is defective. I have never had to "format" any flash cards I have ever bought before using them, except a couple old CF cards for my SLR camera.
I got a sandisk 8gb microsdhc myself - and it works great...
(except when one morning I wake up and find out that all the data's gone, and had to recover it with GetDataBack)
I'm no SDHC expert (I've only had 1 for 2 weeks) but I ran into some problems myself...
1) If you're running Win XP on your desktop, you'll need to download the hotfix for SDHC support here (I don't use Vista so I'm not sure if it supports SDHC natively)
2) The card reader I have connected to my PC wouldn't read SDHC cards but the USB reader that came with my SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC card does work. Make sure the adapter you're using to connect to the PC supports SDHC.
3) Sounds stupid but make sure you're pushing the card all the way into your phone. You should feel some spring pressure and then hear a 'click' as it locks into place. You push it in and it springs out to remove it. I have pretty big fingers and I didn't insert mine all the way the first time. I still have to use something small (the back end of the stylus) to fully insert my SDHC card.
---OR---
You may have a faulty card
mine work!!

Here is the WinXP SDHC Update if you don't want to d/l it from the MS Site.
I have a 8GB SDHC Sandisk. I formated as FAT32 winXP SP2 updated and it works perfect on my tytn II and as a pendrive (with the usb adapter included)
thanx for the help guys but i think i have a bad card...
sorry if you've got a bad card . i scored mine (8gb - sandisk microsdhc) off ebay for $45.00. works flawlessly!
I have just copied all of the contents of my 4gb card onto a new 8gb card, no problems so far, but when I put it back into my Kaiser, the volume only shows as a 4 gb, with 1 gb free, which are he details of the old card, any help greatly appreciated
thanks

Hi guys! I recently purchased HTC Touch Pro and A-data 8 Gb micro sdhc class 6. My laptop recognizes the card and I format it to FAT 32, so I think the card functions properly. The problem is that the device does not recognize tha card. I updated the ROM with the latest official release from the HTC site , and I was happy finally to see my card. The problem is that after restart, the card is invisible again. Can anyone help me? Maybe the storage card is faulty after all?
Possibly man, i am sure you have another card in there. Test it, if all is ok with it, then exchange your 8GB if possible....
The same thing happened to me; I don't know if it's faulty though. It is recognized at first, and of course I can transfer files from my laptop.

incompatability with SDHC
There is a known partition problem that can destroy your Micro SD (or any other size SD) if you every stuck it into an older reader that does not support newer sizes (any HC, or even standard SDs over 1GB).
Old readers can show your newer SD-family cards, and APEAR to work, until you fill them up past the size the old reader supports.
FOR EXAMPLE:
my old laptop has a built-in SD reader. Back when I used the HTC Wizard, I bought a 2GB miniSD, and dumped files to it from my laptop. Little did I know, the built-in reader only supports SD card up to 1GB. It worked back and forth many times untilI crossed the 1GB line (filled teh SD past 1GB). Then files disapeared or could not be accessed randomly. Kindgston told me it was a known issue of some older devices (readrer/camera/etc): the older device messes up the partition, which you CANNOT fix yourself: reformatting the messed0up partition does nothing. Ship back to manufacturer to fix. Now I'm careful to avoid the built-in SD reader
So I would advise: fill your microSD up aver half-way, and see if you desktop/ laptop has problems accessing files sampled from all over the chip. If it does, this is probabaly your problem.
I think it's just the card/brand itself. The HTC site lists card brands and sizes that have been tested and proven compatible, and the A-Data 8GB isn't one of them (although the 4GB SDHC is compatible). Sandisk is the only 8GB card that's supposedly compatible, and I've pretty much found that out since I had no luck with an A-Data 8GB but the Sandisk works flawlessly.
When I first copied files over to the A-Data and put it in the phone it didn't recognize it at first, but after a couple times of taking it out and putting it back in I was able to read and write to it in TotalCommander, but when I went to play music files the player froze up solid and the card was no longer readable until I did the in and out thing again. Bottom line was there was no way that card was going to work right in the phone, but as soon as I started using a Sandisk I never had a problem.
same thing happen to me
i think the phone will not recognise class 6 memory card
i will try sandisk 8gb class 2 when i got a chance

my touch pro two times had the same problem.The sandisk 8gb microsd HC (class2)collapsed.I can do nothing.My computer doesnt recognize the card.I cannot format it also.Does anybody can help me .What can i do.Thanks.
Card doesn't work in my Fuze. Oh well, I'll find another use for it.
Wierd.... I have two Adata 8GB cards, one works in the Touch Pro, the other doesn't. Both of them work in my Sharp EM One.
hi ive been looking like crazy to fix this problem but this seems to be the only post close to it.
i recently got a transcend class 6 4gb micro sdhc (listed on the website as compatible) for my htc fuze. the fuze (WM6.1) has been updated to the new rom version (5.xx).
i put it in nothing happens. it work fine on a computer (via usb reader). i have a kingston 2gb micro sd that works fine (but is used for another device). I really want to get this one to work so its not a waste.
so far ive tried reformatting to FAT, 64K and FAT32, 32K (via windows vista formatting).. none of which work.
really annoying, i dont have any other device that uses this card and i specifically checked this brand and type with the htc fuze and seems like everyone having no probs with it.
any other things i can try? is it a faulty card maybe (but it works through usb reader)?
I am having problems with the 8gb class6 cards as well. I have tried the Adata and the transcend cards. Here are some interesting things I have found.
1. The energyrom series of roms seems to be the only rom that lets me see the card.
2. I can't access the card until it the rom loads.
3. I can flash roms from the card even if I cant access them from the phone.
I did see there was a utility to help load SDHC cards called SDHC_WM6. I was never able to get it to load right but it indicates there is some kind of software driver that might help these cards.

I saw this utility too.. but its for windows mobile 6 not 6.1.. when 6 came out it had no support for sdhc so that thing came out, 6.1 should have support from the start
of course that didnt stop me from trying it anyway... doesnt work
I have a 8 gb Sandisk- Works flawlessly. I have a 16gb Adata( class 6) that worked for awhile then stopped. Put the 8gb- works, 16gb doesnt. tried different ROM- Still same effect. I has to be the Adata card. I am going to try a 16 gb Sandisk when my funds are available.
Oh- the 16 works fine in the microsd/SD card reader......
SDHC Class 6 works in HTC Jade
I have a jade and both cards that refuse to work with my fuze work just fine with the htc jade. I am not sure if it is a hardware problem or an issue with some software such as the sdhc.dll.
My thought is it is probably software. Why?
First the class 4 cards work just fine. In fact I am currently using a Dane-elec 16gb class4 card.
Secondly I am able to get intermittent class 6 cards access if I use one of the NRGY roms.
I have been using a 8gb Adata card that I bought from newegg, and it has been working flaslessly since november.
I recenlty bought another 8gb Adata from meritline, and this one does not get recognized by the fuze.
I then read in the above posts that somebody used Total Commander to copy files, so I opened up Total Commander, and the card is shown there.
I closed the the program, and now the File Explorer can see the card as well.
Maybe you can try the above steps and see if it works.
edit: actually, I have to plug in and out a few times for the phone to see the card...
I also have this issue with my transcend 8GB class 6 microSD.
HTC Touch Pro (T-Mobile), upgraded to EnergyRom. After upgrade, able to work perfectly. After few hours (the phone of course went into sleeping mode), then the phone was not able to read the card, so starting application installed in it makes the phone hangs.
After a while, the application (10-15 mins) was able to start, then everything is normal again. Very confusing.
At the moment I am assuming it's due to the sleeping mode, somehow the phone (software??) was not able to 'resume' reading from the micro SD.
Note: Previously somehow it clashed with the keyboard mapper software (pro_fuze_keyboard.ZIP), then I uninstalled it, then it was fine. Then I install another version of keyboard mapper (Shlomki TouchPro Keyboard in Fuze ROM.cab), then it's fine again, so I now stick with this mapper. However above issue is still happening.
I read some thread about changing some registry (pnp** set to 8196), so I set it. However still the problem persists.
I haven't tried other suggestion to tweak other registry values. Here's the thread on Hermes device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324&page=29
I am wondering if it's really class 6 problem. Is there anybody having the same issue with 8GB class 4?
Note: my PC can read the card without any kind of problem.
I put the microSD into N95 also without any problem.
and i have the same problem to touch pro will not recognize my sdhc 4GB class 6, and i have no problems with 4GB class 4.
HI Bobby,
Were you able to get the Transcend 8gb Class 6 work on the HTC Fuze? I have the same problem. I upgraded the rom from the HTC site and I could see it. But later I plugged the card using the adapter to the laptop to copy some files and when I plug that back into the phone, it says "Not Installed". My happiness of not losing 20 buck was only for a couple of mins Any help is appriciated?
Can you give me download link for the energy rom which actually worked with the card?

I had somewhat of a similar issue, wondering if anyone else has seen this?
8 Gig no name brand MicroSD card in my TouchPro, all of a sudden I had less than 1 gig left, using Resco I couldn't see a thing taking up all that space but it was all gone.
I put the card in the transflash adapter and looked at it on my desktop Windows Explorer and saw the following folders in \Storage Card\Program Files
one directory named (*#LD*))#KDP|} with some text after it
another directory named (#*(Y%*(#(*#*(@#kKD* with some text after it.
NEITHER directory could be renamed, moved, deleted, or anything.
Formatting the card hung the format process.
Finally, I put the microSD card back in my TP and all of a sudden Resco Explorer saw these directories and so I just deleted the Storage Card\Program Files directory (no programs in it) and formatted the card and everything was fine.
Anyone else ever seen this?
So I recently bought an 8GB Class 6 MicroSD card from Microcenter (One of the generic Microcenter ones) and when I plug it into my Vista x64 machine and try to navigate to it, explorer.exe hangs and freezes until I unplug it. Ubuntu recognizes it, but it will not show up in GPartEd, mind you this is with two card readers on different computers. The phone recognizes it but won't save anything to it.
And on top of that I had my dad exchange the card out for another one because it is closer to where he works (Microcenter is about 20 minutes away), and they both do the same thing, has anyone experienced this also?
Are you using an SDHC card reader? Those cards are SDHC. Make sure your card reader has SDHC letters on it.
SDHC is not the same as a SD card. Older card readers will hang the OS.
I went to a MicroCenter and asked about the $50 (or so) card and they told me that it was actually just a class 2 so I refused to buy it. Instead I got a NAME BRAND (AData) from Newegg for the same price and I love it! I don't have any issues.
But it sounds like you need a new or different SDHC adapter.
Edit: Have you tried just using the phone as the adapter by mounting it?
If you can access the card that way then my guess is that it's not the card.

I can confirm this. I have a 4 GB SDHC card that will not work in my current reader. I got a smaller regular non-high-density card to recover with. Either get a small card (2 GB) or upgrade your reader.
I did find out that I needed an SDHC reader. I just bought one and it works great.
I have some questions to pose regarding the Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 microSDXC.
I bought it about a month ago, and when i first put it into my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, it didn't read anywhere near 64GB. Hence, i formatted the new microSD with Samsung's format option, and it showed 59.48GB. Worked perfectly from there.
However, i find the default file system of the microSD card really slow in transferring files when i connect my phone to the PC via USB, with the microSD mounted on my phone. I have a Kingston microSD reader, so i used it to connect my microSD to the PC, and tried to wipe and format it to FAT32. After doing so, the storage size became like 27GB. Is there a way to make my microSD running FAT32 system and get it to work on both my PC and phone without any problems with the size?
Anyway, i formatted the microSD again with Samsung's format option, and it went back to normal 59.48GB. However, i used my microSD reader to connect it to the PC, and it couldn't read the microSD card. It prompts me to format it. Is it because my microSD reader does not work with microSDHX cards? Or is it because my Windows PC cannot read the microSD's file system?
Hope someone has an answer, thanks.
P.S I posted this as a reply to an old thread, but realised it was in the Galaxy S3 forum, so i figured i'll post it here.
So you could use the memory card in your card reader after formatting the card as FAT32?
What OS are you running on your PC? If it's Windows XP, support for exFAT needs to be added. You can find more on this here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955704

use a program such as H2testw to see if your microsd card is fake or defective . You can get it from here or google it .

I found the solution. The Kingston USB reader that i used is actually not compatible with my Sandisk MicroSDXC. That's the reason it couldn't read my microSD when i connected it to the PC. I used the SD card adapter that came with the microSD on a newer laptop which has the port, and it read my card perfectly.
Anyway, i ended up putting my microSD back to my phone and formatting it using the Samsung option. Then, i used a program to format the microSD to FAT32, which i don't think is actually necessary as there wasn't any reading/writing speed difference when it came to transferring files.
Cheers.
Micro SDHC 64GB 10 Series
I wonder if someone can help me.
I purchased a Micro SDHC 64GB 10 Series memory card on Ebay - Brand new.
When I opened the packaging, the card first asked me to format the card fr use. At first, The SDHC card worked fine.
But now when I attempt to use it via laptop, The SDHC card doesn't show up on "My Computer"
It's like the card isn't reading at all..
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I've been playing with Windows since Android's grandfather was a tadpole, so in a combination of research and personal expertise I present the following advice...
DO NOT install a SD of a Class other than what is listed in our phone's Hardware Compatibility List - they being a Class 10 MicroSD, MicroSDHC and MicroSDXC - beyond that of 32GB, as you're only looking for trouble. Sometimes bigger is not necessarily better - just ask the people who knew the man that ate himself to death. NAND technologies are getting better by the day, but unfortunately devices grow increasingly incompatible with newer variants of MicroSD's simply because of the changes made within the firmware of the NAND controller. By changing Class outside of the scope of our phone's capability, problems can arise. Kind of like having a PC and trying to use a SATA-M drive on it. Unless you've got the physical hardware and device drivers installed, you can't expect it to work properly, same as throwing a SATA3 drive on a SATA2 port and expecting it to transfer data at over 3Gbps. If you find you are so desperate that you just can't do without having a 64GB card installed, go to eBay and grab yourself a Genuine Samsung 64GB 'Evo' Class 10 MicroSDXC. They are the fastest and highest capacity MicroSD our device will be friendly with (due to NAND controller compatibility) and at the moment they're going for good prices. Once you get it, Format the thing on your phone first, according to Samsung's instructions for installing the card. You'll then have a bit less than 60GB of storage space, along with Samsung backup if something does go wrong, simply because you're running a Samsung card in a Samsung phone. Trust me, its a great combination, proven by the fact my Samsung laptop runs like a dream on the Samsung 840Pro series SSD it has in it's belly...
