Have recently seen 4GB sd memory cards on ebay and was wondering if they would work in an XDA1.
Any body any thoughts

Yeah, I've just see it when looking on google. Shame I only recently (well 4 months ago) bought a 2GB card. I can donate it to someone but I don't think I'll part with it yet.
I thought the Wizard required some sort of not yet available firmware upgrade before it could go beyond 2GB miniSD cards.
In fact, this link from SanDisk makes it sound as though our phones will never be able to use these cards:

Again Maybe this is a firmware limatation
Maybe...
Maybe it would work by splitting the 4Gb into two logical disk 2Gb each?
By the way I don't know what to load to 2Gb, I have about 1,3 Gb free space in my miniSD. I mean is it so needed the 4Gb card? Any suggestions?
4 GB Mini SD
Well storage space I can always use. My Tom Tom map of Western Europe already takes away 1Gb. Some movies converted to divx take about 600Mb the rest is used for backups and cab files of the programs I use on my device. So 4Gb of storage would be a very nice option. Doesn't matter if this has to be split in two partitions of 2Gb each. I would love it

As far as I can tell, there are no REAL 4GB MINI SD's. They all seem to be fake... 2GB SD made to look like 4GB... Buyer beware!

4g miniSD that works
I have purchased a 4G miniSD from http://www.emartbuy.co.uk/index.php.
It works. There is a small problem with access time, i.e. it takes longer to write to and access the card than the 2G did, but apart from that there are no issues.
All I did was use a card reader and copy everything from the 2G card to the 4G card, put it in the device and away it went, like nothing had changed. Except now there is twice the storage. YAY. The card is brandless and is probably a reflashed card, but I don't care because it works for me.
Hey if any of you are doubting the 4gb mini sd at mobymemory I can confirm it certainly is 4gb card and definetly works in the wizard.
This isn't a reply to your asking if it works. The listed price here was $78 (USD) roughly if i'm not mistaken. I'm sorry, but i'm not paying $78. I already paid $55 for mine and am just awaiting it's arrival in the mail. Hopefully I'll get it soon so I can pop that sucker in and flash my firmware till i see it. I want 4gb because I love movies on the go, and I have some nice tools that do about 4mb/min of video, now that's 1000 minutes of video... or if you load 2 hour movies: roughly 7 movies. At 320x240 stereo mp4 44100khz. Now to just find a bloody adapter for being able to pick up phone calls with my own earbuds, and now to find good earbuds...
I got my 4gb in the mail today! It's completely unmarked which I thought was weird, and upon first popping it in, my MDA would NOT read it, however, after popping it in my computer and reformatting it into FAT32 again (it was FAT32 when i checked it with the computer), it works just fine. Reads out fully too! I got mine on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200065103874
$54.95 including shipping (which was 2 days by usps mail).
Transcend 4GB mini SDHC Flash Card does not work on 8125
I purchased one from Newegg.com. 8125 did not recogonize the card, neither my computer card reader.
Any thoughts?

Have you checked to see if you can Rightclick the "removable drive" the card is in on your computer and see if you have the option "Format"? I had to format my card before it was usable in my MDA and computer.

You may need to update the firmware on your card reader.
Guys
4GB miniSD cards are fake products. Real 4GB memory cards are SD-HC (SD 2.0) standard compatible, not SD 1.0 compatible in agree with the SD Standard Association. Look a real 4GB SD HC memory card of the pioneer on memory cards in this link and looks the SD HC logo:
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Ite...sk_miniSDHC_Card_4GB_miniSD_HighCapacity.aspx
SDHC is not backward compatible with SD standard.
Beware of fake product, SanDisk is a reputable manufacturer and the pioneer on this type of memory cards.
Beware
Apparently I bourght a SDHC miniSD card.
Thanks for all the replay. Apparently I bought a SDHC card. It's not comparable with 8125. I have to RMA it, by paying 15% restock fee.
I hope other users won't make the same mistake.
jjss4433
i have seen them at www.unityelectronics.com for $80[USD].
they might be fakes but most people have to format the m and use them as 2-2gb cards.
i almost bought one but i'm going to buy a 2gb tomorrow for $20[USD] from www.newegg.com
&&edit&&
they have the 4gb mini sd on ebay for ~~$35-45 USD.

I just put a Sandisk 6GB Micro SDHC card in my phone & powered it up. I went into the Settings > Memory > Storage Card. The phone sees the card and reports back as follows:
Total storage card memeory: 5822.50 MB
In use: 0.03 MB Free: 5822.47 MB
Yahoooooooooo!
Off to Europe in 2 weeks with 4gb of mp3's and lots of applications!
6GB
Sweet, Sweet Christmass. Nice. Thanks for the update.
Does not seam like im the only one having problems with my card. I have posted a couple of times and was directly refering to att rom. I have since tried some new roms and my transcend 4 gb class 6 still does not work properly. Before I purchase a new one I would like to know what everyone else is using. I would like to get a 4 gb because that is in my price range.
Thanks,
Nicholas
Well, not using SDHC Card, just 2Gb SanDisk arround many WM6/6.1 ROMs, and it's works well
I have a sandisk 2GB and it works great no problems. The price gap between a 2gb and a 4gb cards has me salivating for more space.
I'm using an 8GB SDHC card (Class 4: around 7.5MB/sec) from SanDisk. You can easily find them these days for around € 30,-
I'm using SunDisk 8Gb sold at AT&T store. It has been working without fail so far. Previously I have used 2gb, 4Gb version and they works fine with everyday I play music during my commute and place temp file for the pocket explorer as well as exchange push-ed e-mail attachments.
Hi
I run Schap's 3.54b and use a class 2 SanDisk 4Gb SDHC (part no. SDSDQ-4096-E11M).
It works perfectly!!
Now i'm waiting a 8Gb bought here at great price:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13305
When i test it i'll let you know.
Bye
I've got my new 8Gb SanDisk uSHDC (code SDSDQ-8192-P60M) and it works well on my Hermes200.
sandisk 4GB, so many mp3s and TV shows =P.
I just bought an 8GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra (Class 8 microSDHC) from a local store here today. It's been working great so far.
I have Sandisk 8gb class4....
Question:
Will a San Disk 16gb class2 work in my phone?
Sandisk 4GB is about right for my hermes...
sandisk 4gb.
SanDisk 4GB class2
Not working, Hermes (Tytn)
ROM Schap's pro 4.31, not working
ROM WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_ WWE v3, not working
ROM MRH 9.0 Valerian | FINAL | UC | Build 20273 |, not working
Someone can help?
2GB Kingston
I got a killer deal on outpost.com (Fry's online store) today. $11.99 for a 2gb micro sd card "mobility kit", with usb adapter, and 2 added adapters (sd and mini sd). If you order online and then choose your local Fry's as the pickup you can get the online prices "in the store" right then and there without a delivery charge. Has a lifetime warranty and case for the spare adapters.
I'm running the old 5.0 O/S on my Hermes. It recognized it right away. No problems.

Update...........it does work
I have a 4GB class 6 card from Transcend. Price was around 11,- € and it works great. No problems till now and a reading speed of 14 MB/s and writing speed of 9 MB/s.
Wait... a second...
Does SDHC works with tytn (hermes100) att 8525?
But... are you using a patch for drivers or certificates?
I think it dont recognize HC?!!!!
Damn!!!
I'm using a SanDisk 4GB class2, and it works just fine.
I keep a lot of pdf manuals, excel and word files on it. Along with installing extra programs, and backing things up.

Damn is right, LOL.. I bought a Kingston 2GB SD card from micro center, they had 4GB on sale too, I saw on HTC site Hermes only supported 2GB..
So how big a card can I go? Does the ROM have anything to do with that? I'm using WM6.1Pro..
I think someone already replied in this thread saying they are running a 16gb card. I have a tiny 6gb now and will upgrade to a 16gb soon. Need more storage, TomTom 7 uses over a gig just for maps and install software.
I have a T-Mobile TP2. I also have an A-Data 16Gb class 6 microSDHC card.
Intermittently, the 16Gb card will "disappear". When starting Copilot Live 8, I will get a message indicating that there are no maps installed. Maps were originally installed on the 16Gb card. Additionally, when I get this error, the Storage Card is no longer available in File Explorer or any other app.
All I have to do to restore functionality is to remove/re-insert the card or do a soft reset.
Here is a link to the card I purchased:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...m_re=A-Data_micor_SDHC-_-20-211-380-_-Product
I have tried the card in a Cannon SD 1000 and have taken several hundred pics and 10s of videos with no problem (thanks to my kids for helping out here!)
I also am now using my A-Data 8GB class 6 card in my TP2 and have NOT experienced the same problem.
I have contacted T-Mobile US, A-Data and HTC.
T-Mobile and HTC offered no help. T-Mobile did offer and has sent me a compatibility list of cards that were tested by HTC.
A-Data has agreed to RMA the card so we can be sure that the card (well we hope) is not the issue.
Is there anyone else out there that has tried this particular card or another 16Gb Class 6 card in their TMO TP2, or any other TP2, and run into similar issues?
Here is the compatibility list I received from T-Mobile:
ADATA 4GB
ADATA 8GB
Kingston 4GB
Pretec 4GB
Pretec 8GB
SanDisk 16GB
SanDisk 1GB
SanDisk 2GB
SanDisk 4GB

I have the same problem with the disappearing sd card.
mine is a transcend 8gb sdhc, and disappears at random times when listening to music from the sd card (with every player I have tested, the touch flo integrated player, windows media player, coreplayer and nitrogen)
tested with the default rom (asia wwe 1.19.707.1) the updated 1.19.707.2
and with a couple of winmo 6.5 custom roms.
It doesn't happen with video though. I have watched a couple of 30+ minute videos with coreplayer without problems, but maybe it was just luck.

Oh no! That makes it sound like it might be an inherent hardware issue in all TP2s! unless the driver code is the same across all of the different ROMs you have tried.
Not good news at all!
I've had a few of problems with a SanDisk 16 gig card seeming to disappear while still installed in the phone. Can't remember where or when exactly it was, but it was mentioned on here that from time to time, the filing system on the cards gets screwed up by Windows Mobile, requiring a complete reformatting of the card. Since then, I've kept a regular backup of my card, just in case. needed it a couple of times too.
Hope the above helps.
I am using a SanDisk 8Gb Micro SDHC and have also had the disappearing problem. I was not playing any content off the card. Just a few times when I went to get some pictures or files off the card or save an attachment, the card was missing/unavailable. I removed it and put it back and then it worked, but eventually became unavailable again.
I have a 16Gb A-Data card and have had no real issue. The only problem I have noticed, is if I charge the phone fully with the phone turned off & SD card in place, it then doesn't recognise the card. I then had to remove the card and access it via the PC before the phone would recognise it again - however no data was lost.
This doesn't happen if I charge it with the card removed, or if I charge it while the device is on.
Other than that it works fine - but I don't use coPilot.
Cheers,
fyi,
no problems so far with a Transcend 16GB Class 6 MircoSDHC (TS16GUSDHC6) in combination with a german T-Mobile MDA Vario V (Touch Pro 2).

I have the same card with the exact same problem. Re-seating the card fixes the problem for a while. But at least once a day it gets lost. I did not have any issues with a Kodak 4g card.

RiData 16GB Class 6 in Telus TP2
I have a RiData 16GB Class 6 in a Telus Touch Pro2 and have not had any problems with it. I have been using it constantly for over a month without a single problem. I would suspect the card as the TP2 is stated to handle 16GB and I am sure it will even take a 32 GB when they come out.
I have takeMS 8GB Class 6 card and initial UK Pro2 and card disappears whenever I listen to music regardless of player. Luckily card never disappears when I use TomTom or Garmin for navigation.
Currently this makes my Pro2 obsolete for listening music. I just hope that changing card will help with this issue.
I have also been having the same problem with a disappearing storage card, and I have the same microsd as the OP. For the people with the problem, can you make your card disappear by playing music on the HTC Audio Manager and then turning of the screen with the power button? My card disappears within a minute after playing music with the screen off, which also happens when i turn the screen off with music playing on Conduits Pocket Player.
me 2
with a data
i guess it's asoftware problem
cause that happened once to me before with i mate 9502 and a patch was developed then it was ove come with the new firmware
I previously used an A-Data 16GB class 6 card that kept disappearing on MP3 playback after about 10 minutes at most. Today I received a new Sandisk 16GB class 4 card. Been playing MP3s for 3 hours now with no problems so far.

Sandisk 16Gb class 4???? Where did you get that? I thought they only had class 2 so far.
Just checked Sandisk website. All I see are 4, 8 and 16Gb class 2 micro SDHC cards.

I received my replacement 16 Gb card from AData on Tuesday. Everything has been working fine with the new card.
I heard back from AData again today.
Turns out, there was an issue with my original card. That have not narrowed it down yet but have indicated that there is definitely something wrong with it.
If anyone else has an AData card with a similar or any issue with their card, just contact them @ [email protected], for US customers, for a prompt response.
i think the issue of compatibility of tp2 and micro sdhc is a scarry nightmare
but from browsing the net i figured out
make sure that the card calss 2 or any type supports that
thank u

it's better to write your experience so that other members could find the right soloution for them
thank u
See post #9 above it has been over a month and a half and my RiData 16GB class 6 has never given me a problem. As I said then if you are having problems it is probably a defective card, and as mmeyer4663 said in post #16 the problem was the card in his case.
