How big scdard can the Hero handle? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, i'm about to buy a new sdcard and i was wondering on how big a memory card the hero can handle, because it's different from phone to phone.
Thanks.

im sure I read somewhere that its 32gb max
This will be in line with most other devices as well.

it depends on how big u can get micro sdhc cards,n95 supposedly supports up to 8 nut my friend has a 16 in it.I guess any size will work

They are sold out but you can do a order and once its available, they ship it to you..
I ordered the 2gb using google checkout for $9.99 plus shipping and also the 4gb using google check for $30 plus shipping.
They say that it will b available in the nex 2 weeks time!!I wonder if they sold atleast one such coby 2GB microSD card cos I have been scanning all da deals for a 2GB microSD for quite some time now!!
do we know definately one way or the other whether the Hermes supports a 4GB microSD card?

Here is your answer from HTC Europe at the link below, it is a thumbs up!

Brilliant - thanks for the info. Soon I can have my maps of UK + France AND my music
But it's sure that will work?
From samewhere, I've read that base for 4gb is different from 2 gbm should be just a little bit more big.

They have put the wrong card type on their site but the info still stands, ring the helpline and they will confirm it.
Don't be excited by HTC FAQ! The answers are common for all the models. I bet that answer was written way before TyTN out, or even before SD 2.0 specs.
Did you ever see a TyTN with WM2003SE? So why don't you ask yourself why it is mentioned in the answer for TyTN then...

If it's not a SHDC card it should work... And I do believ it's quite unlikely we will see soon SDHC micro SD cards or phones (They are more targeted at cameras)
So all in all I think it will work. Anyway given the price I'll buy one just to try
2+GB cards
Hi I have asked the HTC support and here is their answer:
Hi,
I would like to know the maximum card size it will handle. I have found
this information on the HTC website:
*************
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/faq.html?id=29
Support: HTC TyTN
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
****************
But is it a strange answer, most probably not written about this device.
The TyTN does not have Mini-SD but micro-SD AND it never had WinCE 2003.
So what is the maximum card capacity it can handle? Thanks.
Another (quick) question is if there is a difference between TyTN and Hermes. Aren't they the same?
Thanks for your answers.

Dear Customer,
I will attempt to answer each of your questions in turn:
Memory Card Capacity
There is a typo on our website which lists the maximum storage card size as 12gb. This is incorrect. The maximum memory our devices can hold is 2gb. The devices do not support the SDHC formatting measure, and as such, larger cards are not compatible.
TyTN vs. Hermes
These devices are identical. The Hermes is the pre-release name for the TyTN. There are no differences between the two.
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 http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
Best regards,
James-Lee Breen

I hope it will help others, too.
But yet there are guys using 4Gb mini cards in their Trinitys, I believe it was...
Once again proving that the help from the manufacturer is worthless.
Not for nothing, but I went through this with quite a few Motorola phones... and each time they told me the newer, higher capacity card wouldn't work. And, in all but one instance were they right.
I mean, if the 4Gb card hasn't even been released, how would they know whether or not it works? More likely that should say "The maximum memory we have tested our devices to hold is 2Gb"
Anyone know if this is a good card?
Does anyone know how much extra it is to ship to Canada?
EDIT: I just called, and shipping is going to be about $30 US...what a deal breaker...Damn it. It's because they use UPS and they charge like $20+ brokerage fee.
I ordered one.
If it actually ships... I'll post up my results when I get it (I've had 2 backorders for teh 4Gb micro card fall through up till now).
Specification of SD cards allows max 2GB(doesnt matter if SD, miniSD, microSD), but fortunately dont know how it can somehow fake fs and os to access 4GB - maybe thru operating system i really dont know but it works. Best for answer to this Quest. could be mammaich igues. At least I hope it will be SD not SDHC. but let us know
I've got a 4Gb SD card I bought about a year ago... says nothing about the "HC" on the card or in the literature, and it worked fine with the devices I needed it to work with... devices whose manufacturers told me it wouldn't work with.
The way I look at it, if it doesn't work in the Hermes, either it will eventually, or the next phone I get it'll work in.
wait and see
I think it all comes down to just waiting until someone sticks one in the Hermes.
And if it doesn't work... maybe there be a hack to make it work.
what I want to see if this doesn't work is for them to come out with a normal (non SHDC) format 4gb (or larger) card.
4gb ... hell I want 12gb

That is true. However, a proper test would be to actually transfer 4gb to the card. Then back and forth to the pc.

Yes I've seen it in the past too, pluggin a larger then specified memory card into devices and it sees the ram space, just can not access it.
Thats what updated roms and patches are for ... and I think this is the right site for this ... just gotta wait and see.
It feels like a year since I've seen 4gb flashmem has been advertised ... and ETA on these?
So, can anyone confirm or deny these work?

4GB - is working

From O2 shop they released the info that the XDA terra can use 4GB micro SD.
This is the product on a German O2site
http://shop2.o2online.de/nw/produkt...+010014+00&tariffCode=O-ACC-H&categoryId=1121
Just for Info
Now we just have to wait for a major price drop. €99 is a lot of money compared to the standard 2GB mircoSD which are available for around $20-25. But great info anyways.
Something like this??

Exactly, it's just disturbing that I already bought a 1GB and a 2GB microSD. If prices drop faster I will get a SDHC, I think.
Yes...I am using a 4GB Sandisk HC micro SD card! Working fine on my Herald with WM6. It is a little big thicker than my normal 2GB card and so you "gotta" help it a little bit to remove it from your phone. It came with an adaptor and a USB stick SD card reader. Even my laptop is happy to read/write on it. I am running Vista on my laptop...
The best part...I bought it second hand (cheaper) as the guy could not use it on his phone.
I can confirm that too...
I've been using a 4GB SDHC in my Wing since I bought it, love having room for movies and programs.
Just wanted to add another confirmation to the list.
Thanks folks. I know what my next purchase is!
Anyone try the 6gb card yet? Both are Class 4.
Hello!
Since one week I had a 6GB SDHC on my P4350 and it works fine.
Greetings
Alex
wow, the 8 gb just went out
Do you thing a 6go SDHC memory card such as this one would work on my terra?

8525 Memory ?

Hi Guys!
I have 8525 and i need some INFO about this phone i just got it so i need to buy a memory card which one does 8525 support? and how many GB can support??
Thanks
It supports the Micro SD card. Do not confuse with the Mini SD, Micro SD is the real small one. I think it can take up to 2 GB. (Don't hold me to the size.)
I use a "SunDisk" Micro SD 2GB card and it`s work preety fine.

It depends on if the phone has WM5 or 6.
Last I read, WM6 has support for SHDC cards, which have a limit of 32 gig per the spec. If you have WM5 on the phone, you are stuck with a standard SD, which is limited to 2 gig by the spec.
However, you might be able to find a 4 gig non-SDHC. I don't know if they exist in microSD formats, but I have a standard size SD card that is 4 gig.
Used it in my Blue Angel. Worked fine, if not a bit slow (data transfer was faster when I had it divided into a pair of 2 gig 'cards'. Think this was due to the overhead of a fat32 filesystem).
My hermes came with WM6 and is working perfectly with the 4gig sandisk I picked up over the weekend.
I have a 8gig sdhc card in mine with schaps newest rom. I cant wait for my 16 I just hope its supported

It should be. Spec is good for up to 32 gig.
...and after a quick google to verify, it looks like Toshiba and Sandisk both have announced 32gig cards. That didn't take long. Of course, I have a 4 gig non-SDHC SD card, so if someone 'extends' the spec officially with new access modes, or makes a card that is not quite SDHC spec, they may be able to release larger sizes without hardware/software upgrades for existing devices.
BTW, if you don't mind me asking, what do you have on that machine that you need a 16 gig card?
Heck, I'm using just a shade over 330 meg, and got the 4 gig card only because it was a good deal.

Not 100% but I think its 16 gig. Use the search function, chances are you'll come up with something.
16 gb available, 32 gb announced. That's at least what I saw... It's possible there are 32 gb already available, but not sure what Class (speed).
ye that 32 confused me.
I am new with those cards cause never had such tec before.
Had my HTC Touch HD 1 week now and would be nice to have a big card also
I found that there are classes of those cards(like calss 1 and 2) i figure calss 1 is better?
WHen i am buying the card where can i see the speed of the card(example when i want order those from ebay).
As i undersstand only 1 card can be in phone at the time.(sim+memory)
like here:
http://hothardware.com/cs/forums/t/41971.aspx
there at card you can see class biger number better? or smaler number better?(PS!Im not sure that card on the link is working with HTC Touch HD).
Sry my laguage skils (typing with errors)not my mother tongue.
hd touch max sd card
this post says 32GB see link. http://www.elite-electronix.com/htc-touch-hd-unlocked

I'd love a 32gb card but no idea where to get one (or if I could afford it!!)

Class X means speed. Actually class 6 is the fastest one for those SD or mini SD cards.
16gb micro sdhc is the largest that is availiable at this time, in speeds up to class 6
32gb will work, but you cannot yet buy them anywhere (please correct me if im wrong )

ok, so they are both non micro sd.. doh
The upper-end of the microSDHC category has been reached! Samsung has announced that they’re working on 32 GB memory cards, which will be good news to media hogs who have long capped out 16 GB cards on their mobile phones. This is the first microSD card to hit 32 GB, and is the last denomination before moving to the microSDXC format, which will handle 32 GB – 2 TB. I talked with the SD association at CES this year, and it seems unlikely that we’ll have any micro cards breaking into 32 GB in the next six months (maybe something late next year, if I had to guess). That should at least give manufacturers some time to update their hardware to support XC. Samsung also announced that they’ll have a new 64 GB designation of their moviNAND memory, clocking in at 30-nm and 0.7mm high. The first 32 GB cards will be commercially available after mass production kicks in around February 2010.
More info on SDXC cards along with a time chart, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5309401
Class 6 means minimum 6mb/sec for memory write.
It doesn't mean that class 4 can't be faster than class 6 .... but with time flash memory gets slower . It's better to have "insurance" for bigger minimum
i am quite sure i read somewhere that the hd was able to support (theorically ofc) upto 64gb memory card. am i wrong ?

[q] htc flyer / htc evo view 4g internal memory upgrade

I would like to know if anyone here can help with this. Can the Flyer / Evo View have it's Internal Memory Upgraded and if so, How?
I don;t think so, not easily and why would you want to? You already have a Micro SD slot for that.
To upgrade past 32GB. That's why. I would either go to 64GB or Higher if it's possible.
Not going to happen. The SD interface is limited to 32 GB cards max. That's the limit for most or all devices.
Just plug in a USB hard drive and zoom to #### TBs
As to being limited to just 32GB, you could be really wrong. My HTC Arrive is supposed to only come with 16GB. I upgraded it to 32GB. I have a friend that just put a 64GB Micro SDXC Card in the Micro SDHC Card slot in his phone. So as to you saying that it's not supported can be Very Wrong. If it's not a card, then it can be upgraded to what can be put there, but then it would not worth the while to tear it apart and de-soder it, then re-soder the new one in it's place.
I believe that a sdxc 64gb micro sd card works if you format it in the device so that its a FAT32 format.

No. It's an EMMC chip that has certain parts blown into it and we don't have the tools to write them on a blank eMMC chip. The largest available (electrically compatible) eMMC is a 64GB and even if it were possible to write those parts you wouldn't get very far by sodering it, however you might have some luck soldering it.
