Subject: SDIO on XDA
From: Colin
Date: 17 Jan, 2003 14:32:35
I've heard that a new SD (as in SD card) standard is going to be
available soon, called SDIO. It is supposed to support more
than just memory cards via the SD slot - similar to a Compact
Flash slot supporting modems and networks cards etc.
Does anyone know if the XDA supports this ?

Does anybody know how feasible it is to upgrade the RAM upto 64m
or even 128m and where are the parts available and as a side
issue, is there a way of preventing a lock up when the serial
cable connected to my GPS is unplugged.

PocketPCTechs do a RAM upgrade to 64 or 128; check
www.pocketpcpassion.com for any promotions, or go straight to
http://www.pocketpct
echs.com/XDAup.asp . If you're in the UK, eXpansys
currently offer the 64MB upgrade, with the 128MB coming sometime
when they're ready. AFAIK there's no DIY option, and I
personally would rather trust PPCTechs over myself anyday.
HTH!

I've read on the newsgroups that the unit cannot use fully the
128mbytes, but it can use 64mb - the other 64mb will go as
Storage card or something like this. Is that true?
I know that iPAQ can have 256mb of RAM memory...
also does anyone knows exactly how this affects to batteries -
for example from 3 hours straight 32mb to how much hours with
64mb and 128mb?

I'm not sure whether the second 64 will appear as a storage card
- I know the old iPAQ upgrades used to, until they figured a way
around it, and the same may apply here. I'm not sure whether you
need to install the PPCTechs driver when it's 'natural' RAM
either - you'd have to ask them.
As to battery drain, I think the gadgeteer did something on
this. In their tests the 64MB upgrade has something like 3% less
battery life, or some other insignificant amount. If I had to
choose between double the RAM or an extra 10 minutes' battery
life, I know which I'd choose . Rest assured it won't be a
gas-guzzler! I'm sure if you google it you can find the exact
figures.

Thanx, Anthony
I've found pdaPocketHome site, and the FAQ over there (phew -
lots of stuff) - and the battery (Pocket PC Phone) charts for
memory upgrades - really nothing to worry about
just to decide whether I need 64MB or 128MB,
also I've read that they have some "T2T Disk" instead of
"Storage Card" - I was just afraid whether it'll screw and act
like "Storage Card" and the original one to be called "Storage
Card 2" (cause my stuff is already installed over there, and the
registry will mess it up more).

MAX SD card size and manufactor recomendations please...

Title says it all. I want to get an SD card for my XDA, is there a maximum size that the XDA can read (nothing mentioned in the manual) and after reading the horror stories here about wiped and corrupted data, is there any manufactorer that anyone would recomend?
hey mate,
i used to have a 512 mb sd by sandisk...hated it. it only allowed me to use around 380 mb; then would reject any other files i attempted to save in it. also had a 128mb by sandisk and same problem as the 512; couldn't use all of the said capacity. sold them; then got a panasonic 128 mb card. loved it. so i went and tried a panasonic 512 and worked great as well. since then i've been using panasonic sd cards. other guys in the forum should have other brands which work well with them. no offense to those using sandisk though
cheers

i'm using a Twinmos Ultra-X 512MB SD card and i haven't experienced those memory wipeout problem that other users were talking about. didn't notice any problems with it.
02 XDA2 v1.72WWE PH10B
I use both 256mb and 512mb Viking SD cards. Both work great (though a little slow when writing to them) and they are cheap on ebay. Never had the memory wipe problem either.

SD card for QTEK 2020
Hi,
I've bought an Extrememory SD card 1 Go (almost the cheaper one !) and it works perfectly !
I am using Kingston 256mb.
DONT BUY
They work VERY slow, resulting in malfunctioning TomTom when I activate POI in navigation mode.
if your going to buy SD cards try to find those high speed versions. :idea:
Hi !
How can we know the speed of SD or MMC Card? But for Flash drive (mobile storage) we can know it is a USB-1.0 or USB-2.0.
Can anyone can give me some details about this? Now, I'm using a 256 MB MMC (NCP HEXON brand), it works great but somebody told me that it works slower than (Transcand brand).
Sorry, I think it is a stupid question but I really don't understand about it.
Thanks in advance,
I'm using a Lexar 32x 512mb card in my XDA2 and its great.
I use it for TomTom Navigator GPS and the "higher speed" makes a very significant difference to the time taken to access data from the card.
What's the difference then between the SD cards and the MMC? I have notices the MMC has a price premimum so I am assuming its faster/better.. Can the XDA I use either?
Edy\Anyone else, your original post said XDA but I have noticed that everyone who replied has an XDA II. Is their a difference for a max card size (SD\MMC) that can be used between the two.

sdhc

Is there a final word on the compatability of the Hermes with 4 and 8 micro sdhc cards
mpc
I have emailed HTC about this. I also dropped in a question about when they plan on releasing a ROM for the TyTN (rolls on the floor laughing.....deliberatly didnt use the acronym).
According to the FAQ on thier site there is a limitation in the OS :
What is the maximum SD card size compatible with my device?
For Win CE 2003 =>General for SDIO is 1GB.
For WM 5.0 => SD Card is 4GB and Mini-SD is 12GB
Click to expand...

also they claim there is no limitation whatsoever?!? But this could be for ANY of thier devices so i emailed them anyway:
Does my device have a maximum size limit for CF/SD cards?
No, as long as it's a standardized memory card (SD or CF) and a device is designed according to those standards then it will accept the card.
EDIT:: DO NOT TAKE THIS AS PROOF OF SDHC COMPATABILITY (mrvanx)

Its a shame nobody has tried (or atleast posted thier findings), but hopefully a reply from HTC would help us out. Cant see why they would withold this info.
I would take the plunge and buy one but the 4GB ones are still pricey (for me) so I would have to REALLY need it for something before forking out the cash.

Responce from HTC
It looks like it is simply a restriction in the drivers by MS according to HTC:
Dear Sir,
I am afraid to say the SDHC memory cards are unsupported by any of our handsets, to offer support for these memory cards Microsoft will need to update the drivers for Windows Mobile 5.0. We have tested our handsets with standard 2GB miniSD cards which work fine.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at

What does that say??
SDHC support has been available for quite some time now if the presence of an SDHC driver in the registry is anything to go on (I've seen it in the AKU2 ROMS). However whether it works or not is a mystery waiting to be solved....
With the "0" setting i did not loose my card today after 4h of operation...
That is for a 2GB Sandisk (not SDHC)
But anyway on SDHC:
I have gathered the following info on the net:
---------
SDHC (Secure Digital High-Capacity) cards are flash memory cards with a minimum capacity of 4GB (gigabytes). SDHC cards provide removable memory for compatible digital devices including cameras, camcorders, PDAs, MP3 players and more. Secure Digital refers to a specific format within the flash card market. SDHC cards are designed for devices that are compatible with the SDHC 2.00 specification. Products designed exclusively to support previous SD specifications 1.0 and 1.1 will not be able to utilize SDHC cards.
The growing demand for high-capacity flash memory springs partially from the increasing use of high-definition video and high-resolution digital photography. SDHC cards meet the challenge of these demanding products not only by providing ample storage but also by introducing a new feature: classifications of data transfer speed (DTS). Consumers can get the best performance value out of their digital products by using flash memory cards that support the device's highest standards for data transfer speed. The SDHC specification 2.00 calls for cards to be classified according to the minimal sustained DTS as follows:
* Class 2: minimum sustained DTS of 2MB/sec
* Class 4: minimum sustained DTS of 4MB/sec
* Class 6: minimum sustained DTS of 6MB/sec
SDHC cards are classified to guarantee a specific sustained DTS. This potentially saves consumers money, as flash cards are priced not only according to capacity, but also to speed. For example, if a product's maximum DTS is 2MB/sec, dishing out extra cash for Class 4 or Class 6 SDHC cards would be a waste of money. Conversely, devices that can utilize the 4MB/sec or 6MB/sec DTR will perform significantly better with Class 4 or Class 6 SDHC cards, respectively.
Secure Digital was forced to create a new specification for SDHC cards when the previous specification topped out at a capacity of 2GB. This occurred previously when SD cards hit the 512MB wall. The new 2.00 specification should last a bit longer, as it allows SDHC cards to reach a maximum capacity of 32GB. Secure Digital is so-named because of its ability to protect copyright content through digital rights management or DRM. Because of this, it is a favored flash memory format in the audiovisual industry.
SDHC cards are about the size of a postage stamp. Insiders expect them to be available through several different manufacturers by summer 2006, and prices will vary. Before purchasing, be sure your device is compatible. There are several card formats available on the market, and devices are proprietary. If a device manual does not list SDHC cards, or state it is "SD specification 2.00 compatible," the device cannot utilize these cards.
--------------
This info does not seem fully accurate as I saw on the web a 8GM Micro SDHC...
Anyway we should validate what class the Hermes support, but I would think that Class 2 may be the the maximum speed for this device?
We should investigate further.
Is the pinout for SDHC card THE SAME as SD?
I remember I've read somewhere that pin count is greater.
I'll search on wikipedia
Did some searching, found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-284628.html
the SDHC driver is indeed in the active driver section in the registry in our devices, but as the last post indicates, it's in microsoft's terms and doesn't stand for what we are looking for.
So in short, really pitty, but it looks like we're out of luck.
Edit: Before anyone says it: i KNOW it's a trinity thread, but there's a Hermes user in there!

let me introduce myself... i come from Wizard but it was stolen from my hands at knife menace Im near of getting a hermes... I see that this big Brother of wizard has the same F#$n **** on their Card useless incompatibilitie... maybe in certificates... but here i saw less less people buyng things without read jajaja... Its nice to see people that get info after do stupid things like buy a 4GB SDHC...
Its Sad to have a great Machine without this capacity on cards...
I did it today, I have a Hermes 100 (I-mate JasJam).
To cut a long story short:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58063&d=1194986892
I am currently running a 8GB SDHC Micro card.
Mate, if you updated your rom with a cooked rom you wouldn't need the patch as most wm06 and ALL wm6.1 roms are already sdhc compliant.
Just make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed before upgrading so if something bad happens you at least have a chance to fix it...
Cheers...
Well I read my post and...
Absolutely right Ultramag has the reason!!!!!
SDHC microSd can be read on HERMES the last word to say it is yessss as ultrmag said the newer BUILDS ROM has the patch!!!
So enjoy your 8gb MicroSDHC and we will wait for 16 GB hahahaha i hope so...

8GB Micro SD

Ok, so from my research, the 8GB Micro SD is not yet widely available or even on the shelves (correct me if I wrong). But, according to the various sites I've looked at these size cards are well on there way to being released.
I know the new standard of SDHC SD card are available in 8GB and possibly above, but I have now got a Hermes, so wanted to try going higher in Micro SD. Presently I use both a 2GB and a 4GB Micro SD, depending on what I'm needing to store.
Size wise 4GB it great as options for storage are vast.
But I wanted to see it there was any further news as to the new 8GB or higher that I'd read somewhere?
Having looked on line I could only find the following:
6GB Micro SD
==========
Pre-ordering only?
1: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/SanDisk/6GB/Micro/SDHC/Card
= SanDisk 6GB Micro SDHC Card £69.99
8GB Micro SD
==========
Pre-ordering only?
2: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/SanDisk/8GB/Micro/SDHC/Cardhttp://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/SanDisk/6GB/Micro/SDHC/Card
= SanDisk 8GB Micro SDHC Card £99.99
Since upgrading the Hermes ROM on my phone to WM6 which was purely to allow it to use the 4GB Micro SD I had bought (I swear by SanDisk as have NEVER had a problem with them in over 5 years of assorted SD cards)
Am going to keep looking over the next few weeks and would be interested in any feedback if any others have found any news about higher capacity versions.
I have no idea if WM6 will be able to read higher than 4GB but my guess would be a resounding YES! on the grounds of what I have a feeling is WM6 full? SDHC support. whereas WM5 on the Orange version of the Hermes 'SPV M3100' had only partial support and can only recognize 2GB sized Cards.

PS: if this post is in the wrong place or out of date can a mod sort it out and remove or move it. Many thanks. Just wanted to share my interest and findings on these Micro beasties thats all.
You accidentally posted the 6GB page, if you change the "6" to "8" in the URL you'll get what you meant for the second post.
Wow thanks for those links can't wait to get my hands on 8GB of freakin memory! I'm very impressed with MicroSDHC and am so glad the Hermes can take the always (albeit gradual) increasing card capacities, without new hardware needed.
Take that, iPhone! (don't worry, i love you too)
I found it very difficult to get a 4gig microSD card in the US. I keep seeing these cards in the UK but they don't ship here. Does anyone have links to any companies for even a pre-order.

The six (6) GB link was intentional bud. I have researched "above and beyond" the 4GB size. Happened to find the 6GB link on same site so added it as I didn't know if like myself others were also unaware of this specification.
Cheers anyway.
You missed his point, your 8gig link is incorrect, it links to the 6gig ad.
Wow, 8G! Wish I had known that before splashing out on an 8G Zen MP3 player.
Thanks for the spot!

The max size card your device supports is 2GB. It will not support HC (High Capacity) memory cards. Please see our recommended product below:

When a representative from Orange looked into this on my behalf, he also was told me that HTC was only recommending that the Hermes be used with 2GB Micro SD cards, as that was the limit they (HTC) would guarantee.
When I first tested cards out prior to a firmware update to WM6, the above was indeed true.
However, my Hermes now runs WM6 and uses a 4GB SDHC Micro SD Card on a daily basis without ever having a problem.
I have no idea if this will be true of higher spec cards such as the 6GB or the 8GB or even anything higher, but I feel confident that it will. But that is just my opinion as until tried and tested its down to guesswork whether or not other card sizes will be recognized.
PS: you asked what is the difference between micro SDHD and micro SDHC?
The answer is that I have NEVER heard of Micro SDHD. To me that is a High Definition tag and not one that refers to any card type.
I've only ever known SDHC.
Even Google comes back with: "Did you mean SDHC" Maybe others know of this type of card?

You could walk into a verizon store anytime and pick up a card, if you wanted. Other people have been able to order 4gb cards-- you could, also. READ!!!
Transcend 4GB SD with Exec loses data randomly --please help.
Hello there,
I read you people are using 4GB SD without any problems, you might solve my problem.
I am using one on my Exec with WM6,(ROM 2.02.02,Radio 1.15, Protocol 42.51.P8, no ext rom) and facing a weird problem.The card loses the data for no apparent reason.The folder viz. My document has just been emptied and I lost my all ebooks--150 MB.
The file explorer shows the card contains 776 Mb data while the 'Resco explorer' shows 1007 Mb,in setting-memory-storage card it shows 1007 Mb,but it actually has only 776 Mb data, so I have lost 150 Mb data permanently and 300 Mb storage space on card!
This is the THIRD time it has happened and on previous occasions I had the card replaced.I am fed up with this problem,is it the card itself or the Exec or the WM6 or the ROM which is causing this problem?
Is there any way to retrieve the data and the memory lost from the card, for I think it is there and it just hidden somewhere...I hope.
I am not a techie,(medical doctor--using Exec more as a PDA than a communicator)hence the lengthy description ,thanks in advance,sorry for the intrusion.
bye.
sorry for the hastles your having
I wish I could help you further but apart from what I have read relating to the Hermes I can't.
I would hazard a guess and say that it sounds more like the Operating System / ROM which perhaps is not handling the card properly.
Best if you put up a new post on the main board and ask for help.
I hope you get it sorted as I know from my own problems similar to your missing card data how really annoying this problem is. I do know that I have had two SD card made by transcend. I used them for 6 months without a hitch. I put movies and files on them both for University and work use and used them in my previous phone which was an English version of the Prophet (Orange SPV M600)
Point is that in my own experience, Transcend are indeed a reliable brand or storage card. So it doesn't sound like a card problem in my opinion. Perhaps you may new to look at updating the ROM? I have no knowledge of your phone model "Exec" so can't help. But as I said best if you ask for help on the board. Maybe on various boards if you've had no luck already. Someone may have previously owned an Exec and might be able to shed some light on this problem.
Kalya-- You need to post your problem on the Universal forums, not the Hermes. There, hopefully, you will get the help you need. Different models react differently to various things. May you find your solutions...

From what I've been told, Sandisk made a deal with Verizon so they are the only approved suppliers in the US for one year. You can buy the 4GB miro SDHC card from them or any Verizon distributor (even Circuit City). However, they are more expensive than Amazon...

Hi OlSarge,
www.blt.com. The warehouse shows inventory in realtime. Looks like they had 125 on order and got in 50 which leaves a back order of 75.
Thank you Alylea. I just ordered one from them too.
Nice, I'm thinking of getting a 6GB one too, the 8GB is a bit too pricey for my liking (Approx $140).
Just out of interest, seeing as they are based on the new SDHC format (FAT32, not FAT16) - will they work with the Hermes okay?

Nice, I'm thinking of getting a 6GB one too, the 8GB is a bit too pricey for my liking (Approx $140).

Hi Gav,
All indications are that they should work fine as long as you are running WM6 BUT my I recll seing somewhere on this forum that not all ROMS are set up to work with SDHC.
BTW; my sources tell me that the 8GB won't be in mass production until very late '06 or possibly even early '07.

As for the 8GB, 'MyMemory' a reputable UK firm have the 8GB SanDisk model on 'pre-order' - so they must have wind of a release date.

this rom might not have the sdhc drivers so bet bet if neeeded to use the 6gb card is to update to a newer rom

Hi Cypher38,
I just looked at the listing for Schap's 3.54b and it says that there is support for SDHC so it should work.
got my card working by using tnt 2 rom
I wish there was a cheapy MP3 player ($40ish) that would take this memory format. Anyone know of any? I've googled for 3 hours looking for one before asking you guys.
I just order from the same place. They said there are 40 in stock. I can't wait to get it
you could use some cheap mp3 player, but i really like my cowon D2 (2gb/4gb) + SD card yes it does support SDHC with latest firmware
its not a simple mp3 player its a PMP i just got my sis 8gb SDHC card and it works perfectly from newegg, can you imagine the 16gb card? and so on.... man thats crazy for a touch screen pmp heh you can get both the mp3 player and the sd card from newegg. I just wish someone could cook some new diff firmware for that thing would that be sweet or what.
Anyway back to 6gb, i ordered mine and i used the free shipping at amazon and it said it would be only 4 days \o/ so that makes up for the 6 bucks that you would pay for the 3-5 or so and still have it for about the same days heh.
im sure its based on location though.
oh ill try this microSD with adaptor in my mp3 player and see
i really wish though that they would not use microSD but regular SD cards, cause they are soo much cheaper then the micro or mini, but i think cell phone manufactures made it standard almost for the micro
mostly not for the pocketPC/PDA's but for the slim phones :/

Those who kill functionality, power and gaming at the expense of style?
do you know if that work in tytn
Hi
Thank you for all information’s you provide here
Any one knows or already tests Micro SDHC 4 GB or Micro SDHC 6 GB On TyTn with OFFICIAL HTC WM6 Upgrade!
I call HTC America and the person keep answering that TyTn NOT support more than 2 GB
I am confused! I read in more than on forum that tytn with official WM6 support 4 GB!
Whey HTC keep telling the opposite
Thank You
6gb sdhc card
Hey I here you guys got the 6gb sdhc card... has anyone tried it on the sprint mogul 6800 yet???
i personally do not know about official mobile 6 supporting sdhc... but as far as cooked ones go i hear that most of them do, and if not you can always go to a diff one right? that does
dont bother with calling for official support unless its written on the box they wont say jack, even if the upgrade does support they will not, unless you get lucky and get someone who knows what there talking about, and even then they will cover there asses in some form or fashion.
got it today!
http://www.amazon.com/MicroSDHC-Ada...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1191473928&sr=8-1
if you order that one for $78 it comes with a adaptor to SDHC and also a SDHC to USB, which is nice since my lame multi card reader doesnt seem to read past 4gb?
i put it in, it did not see the card right away after soft reboot... it picked it up using the rom in my sig
also i used the free shipping that supposed to come in 5-9 days and it came in 3 days
