Yes, I have a Transcend 150X 4G SD and tested on Xda2i, xda2, dopod 828, Dopod 900 without any problem.
Just Xda2s can't recongize the card. Strange!

I've got a xda2i and would also like to buy one of transcend's 4gb sd cards.
Should I format it to FAT32 on my pc first, or will it work straight out of the box?

How's the speed on the 150x 4gb Transcend card? Has it been benchmarked or can you compare it to any other brands of SD card?

please try to set the camera to save photos on the Storager card & take a photo , it gives me an error (unable to capter, Not enough menory)

sorry for bad spelling
the error is ( unable to capture , not enough memory )

Are you using the Transcend 150X 4GB SD?

Just out of interest, does your 2s recognize MMC cards? It says its meant to but mine doesn't.

I grabbed some pics of our daughter off my wife's mini mmc card using my BA... It's a 64mb sanDisk (I think).

Ive bought a Transcend 4Gb SD but am having problems with my XDA IIi using it. Capacity comes up fine, can write continuously to it for about 15 minutes (using activesync), then XDA locks up. Have to then soft reset and start again!
Playing wma files from it usually lasts about 20-30 minutes before the same lock up occurs.
Does anyone know if the 4Gb is a single or dual-layer module ?
Im only running the original ROM 1.11.00.WWE, ext ROM 1.11.923 WWE - will upgrading this help?

Just discovered that the problems of freezing only happen when syncing in the USB cradle! Syncing via Wifi is fine! Also playback is fine as long as its not in the USB cradle.
Thought it might be a USB power issue so I plugged in the power suypply as well but still it freezes in the cradle ????

Anyone tested it with the universal?

Copying large files.. best method?

I'm copying largish files to my storage card (around 200MB) But the progress bar moves REALLY slowly, then gets to about 50%, then it starts over again.. then loops!
I've been copying smaller files (~10-20MB) with no problems whatsoever...
btw: do i HAVE to have activesync loaded to be able to access the storage card?
Any help appreciated, thanks

I could not find a way round this problem with activesync, hopefully someone else will help, I gave up and bought a USB2 universal card read/writer for less than a fiver, this is very quick and large files are no problem, also it plugs into the same lead used for the JasJar. Not sure where you are based, I bought from Ebuyer, good price on Viking 1Gb SD as well.

There is a utility called "WM5torage" available that turns your Universal into a card reader. You don't need AS for this but you do need an OS that will recognise a Mass Storage Device.
If you are giong to be transferring files this size regularly then go the card reader route, less wear and tear on the fragile USB port on the Uni.

Hmmm ok i might get a SD card reader then, i guess, along with a 2GB card heh
Is the USB port delicate? It seems pretty sturdy to me?!

No, there is no need to buy a card reader. Just use this application: "WM5torage", as PReDiToR mentioned from above to transfer large files. This small app transforms your Universal into a card reader and it is free. It is similar in function as Softick's Card Export II.
You can download it here: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=dscript&CODE=showdetails&f_id=1702

Mmmm.. I'm not sure I undestand how WM5torage does anything different that connecting the HTC to a PC as usual and accessing the storage card via the file explorer. Am I missing something?

2Gb Dane-Elec Memory card hangs

Hi, I'm having problems with the 2Gb Dane-Elec mini SD card in the Trinity (original; did not flash it or something...)
The card just cannot be accessed after a while, or after I run a program off it. For example: I have TomTom Navigator maps stored on it. When I run TomTom, All works fine, but when I close TomTom, the card cannot be accessed anymore. In the explorer, the folder list is all garbled and shows strange symbols. When I remove the card and re-insert it, all works ok again. So, after I do something with the card, I have to remove it and re-insert it in order to get it working again.
When I then re-insert the card, it shows up in the Explorer with the name "StorageCard2", because apparently when the card cannot be found, a folder called "StorageCard" is created on the device.
I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by the storagecard being faulty, or perhaps an error / incompatibility in the device.
Any ideas? many thanks in advance!

It seems that the Trinity has this problem with some memory brands more than others. I have a 2GB sandisk and I don't have this problem. Another possibility is that problems lie in how the memory card is used: I use the card only to store music and other documents, but I don't have programs installed in the card.... maybe that's the reason why I am spared this problem?

I'm having the same issues with a TakeMS 2GB mini sd card. I've tried different formats (FAT16, FAT32) with no success. I sent an email to HTC and they told me they didn't know of any incompatibility problems with mini SDs.

same here in greece with mini sd 2gp sandisk and take ms !!! only 1 gb work perfect

Same problem with TakeMS 2Gb miniSD. Works fine on my girlfriend's nokia N80.

You've probably already tried, but formatting the card with XP with a card reader in FAT 32 might help.

Mine is starting to have the same problem too! I have a Kingmax 2gb minid-sd card. However. I didn't see any problems like this until a few days after I flashed to the new gps rom. A soft reset will bring everything back for me.

My SanDisk UltraII 2Gb works perfectly so far, both in FAT32 as in good ol' FAT format.

I don't think this is a card compatibility problem, more likely a bug in the OS somewhere or a conflict with some program. I have an SanDisk UltraII card like oVan (don't smile too long oVan ). Everything was fine for two weeks and then I experienced the problem, only the card got corrupted. I did a hardboot and reinstall and it seems to be fine for now.
It did happen after I did a restore created by SPB Backup (latest version). I noticed after the restore some things weren't as they should be. Not sure if it caused the problem or if it was just coincidence.
I think it would be helpful in figuring this out if people posted their Rom versions in case it is a bug in one of the roms, no?
Mine is
Rom: 1.15.405.5 10/23/06
Radio: 1.20.00.11
ExtRom: 1.15.405.101

'hope this is only a coincidence

Same problem here... and i am using a 2gb sandisk minisd card... occasionally I won't be able to see my files... and it will sometime give me weired characters when i open in the explorer... a soft-reset will bring it back to life again, but this is very annoying.... I was thinking that there is a problem with the card or with the brand and was thinking about buying a new card.... but now after reading this thread it looks more like a problem with the device itself

I remember the Magician had a similar problem with the SD card until finally a ROM upgrade became available that would fix the problem.
Early adopters have all the fun

Same with Kingston 2GB
Same here with the Kingston 2GB card. Happened to me both before and after the ROM upgrade. A soft-reset (or ejecting/reinserting the card) fixes it, but it's quite annoying!

I have the same problem with 2 GB Kingston MiniSD.
But I also have a 512 MB MiniSD with this feature.

I sent an email to HTC pointing to this thread and received the following reply:
Hello

Great. I hope we hear back soon. I'm using Kingmax 2gb sd and it seems to only happen after I upgraded the ROM. I used it for 3 weeks without a hitch before that.

Thanks for escalating Jorgerib!
Can't wait to see what they do with the info...

I have some new information regarding this issue.
I formatted my Kingston MiniSD with another PC and so far so good.
When I used the phone or my home desktop to format I keep getting this problem 4-5 times / day.
But 2 days ago I reformatted my MiniSD with a laptop and since then everything OK.
Maybe you can try the same (try to format another memory reader) and we will see if it helps.

I've tried to reformat the card with a laptop, with a desktop pc (both with card readers) and in the device using storage tools with no success. The symptoms are similar to the ones reported by sdhc card owners. Does anyone made any progress with this?

I had an Apacer 2GB card and I had the same problems. I also first thought it was the card but now... Actually I'm afraid of buying a new card because I alread lost some great pictures/videos.

MicroSD issue

Okay. I've got two microSD's. One is 2gb microSD from Kingston and the other is 6gb microSDHC from Sandisk. I put the 6gb into my touch cruise and it did not detect it. put in the 2gb, detected instantly. I removed the 6gb, put it in the SD adaptor and put it in my Canon SD850 to test the microSD. It stated "memory card error, card locked". I checked the lock on the SD card and there was no switch on microSD. How the hell do I get the 6GB microSDHC to work?
Ps: 6Gb was fully functional in my E90. It was formatted and now does not work in the HTC.
Please advise.

Formatted with FAT32?

Now how do I format it? No device in my household besides the E90 I guess reads it.

I hope you have a MicroSD cardreader.
You can format using the MS utility or download the following:
http://www.sdcard.org:80/about/downloads/
which is a dedicated piece of software for SD cards.
But MS works ok.

That application does not read the card, but when I put it back in the E90 it works fine. I'm confused now.

Have you tried to format it with that dedicated piece of software or the MS format utility?
Does your E90 read to complete card or only 2Gb?
It's the difference between SD and SDHC.

The application froze, and the E90 reads the entire card.

u might have locked it with a password in the E90. there is a feature to do so that prevents one card to be used in several devices.

Pharos 619 SDHC working plus GPS setup

For SDHC to work:
1. Install SDHC_v071227.cab
2. Install to device and press cancel when it's finished. Don't let it reboot.
3. Install Certs.cab. Won't prompt you for where. When finished press reset button on bottom of device.
Tested on Kingston 8gb SDHC card and Pharos 619 running wm6.1. Firmware 1.1.5 Build 9.
GPS:
Press Start -> Settings -> External GPS ->
GPS Program port = COM9
GPS hardware port = COM5
Baud rate = 9600
Manage GPS automatically = checked
Also included a cab so you can use any dialtone.
For better battery life make sure Recieve all incoming beams is not checked under Settings -> Beam
Bluetooth also seems to suck battery life fast on this phone.
If you tried any other SDHC hacks you may have to back up your data and do a factory reset. Start -> Settings -> Factory reset.

Thanks!
Thanks!
I will give it a try tongiht...

Thanks,
I try it with 8G patriot and another 4G card. It works.
But the problem is:
When 619 go to suspend mode and wake up again, I need to re-insert the card or reboot it. Otherwise 619 is very easy to freeze when I visit the miniSD card from file explorer.

Figured out the problems with the hack. Needs an extra step I found in this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=299148
It's far better now. Just as fast as with a 2gb card.

Thanks a lot.
I try jasjamming's SD card fix.cab. It does not make much improvement.
It seems my SDHC card is too slow to be mounted . Or I blame it to Windows Mobile OS, or the SDHC driver.

I try with non-SDHC miniSD card with HTC sdhc driver installed, the bugs also happen.
After I remove HTC sdhc driver, everything is normal again for non-SDHC miniSD card.
It seems to be the SDHC driver issue. Hopefully Pharos could release the official support for SDHC card later for 619.

Tried today and it worked. When I used the HTC version, for some reason, it could only see 4 of the 8gigs. Installed this one and now it "sees" the 8gigs.
Thanks dvdivx!!

It's not perfect. Sometimes you have to pop the card out and reinsert it. At least it is capable of SDHC with the right drivers.

I decided to remove it.
The bottom line for me is that sometimes it read the complete 8gigs, sometimes only 3.5gigs… then there is the need to pull it out and put it back in order to re-access it, which has become annoying, it was just inconvenient, now is frustrating since when it stops accessing the card, everything is paused until one remembers to pull the card out and put it back in.
Not worth the frustration, anyone else had a better experience to share?
It may be that jasjamming’s registry patch needs to be "tuned" to the M619.

Worked on my phone
Thanks! I followed the instructions and it worked on my phone.
My settings are:
KINGMAX mini-SDHC 4G
Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1437 (Build 17944.0.3.1)
Firmware 1.2.1 Build 2
BTW, how does the NoRingtonelimit work?

Thanks! Works Well!
Thanks for the post! This is working well for me on a M619, with an 4gig SDHC, GPS too!

I already make follow above steps for micro sdhc 4G but my phone notice that: total store card only 2G? Help me! Thanks a lot!

this is for this phone Pharos traveller m616 right? I'm not dreaming? pharosgps.com

Thx
Thanks very much for this app - it works great with my P660.
I tried with a 8GB class 2 microSDHC

Work fine on my M619 w 4 Gb Patriot card. Thank you, great job.

could somebody can make a tool for remove and insert SD card after wakeup?
thanks!
