Hi All,
I have stumbled across a micro to minisd adaptor for micro sd cards and I was wondering if this would actually work on a HTC Wizard device.
http://351435.trustpass.alibaba.com/product/11709112/Micro_SD_To_Mini_SD_Adapter.html
Theoreticly it should because it's just a bigger size. But maybe the software can't handle it. It would be amazing if it could because they are now selling 8gb micro sd cards! The other option is to just use a 4gb Mini SD card but can't seem to find one that people say is guaranteed to work.
Thanks!
this would be soooo great if it would work...anyone have any info?
A micro-to-mini SD adapter should work, provided the microSD card is supported. The new 4/6/8 GB microSD cards are actually microSDHC cards -- a slightly different standard, one that is not supported by the Wizard. The older 2GB & smaller microSD cards should work on the Wizard using the adapter.
BTW, the 6 & 8 GB cards aren't quite on the market yet, as far as I can tell -- even the 4GB are very hard to find. Newer HTC models (TyTN, Touch, Kaiser, etc.) will support SDHC, provided you have the proper ROM firmware.
I was using one with a 2 Gig card until the USB connector fell off my wizard :-( I'm sure it's not related to the adaptor!)

Yes it will work, if you did not figure it out yet.
just to confirm, i have been using a 2gb micro sd card in a mini adapter for about a year...no problems.
i got a kingston microSD card of 2GB
it come with a normal SD to microSD conveter
and a miniSD to microSD converter
both work just fine
2gb sandisk micro-mini working here as well...
The PNY micro-mini SD configuration also works fine.
i have PNY adapter to Mini SD. it works great
Transcend 2GB MicroSD (MLC chip :-( )works gr8 too
snif snifff
no micro sd hc 8go nor 6go for my wizard... sh.t !!!!!
got a wizard with a 2go mini sd 80x, good price, anyone interested ?
nobody ? sh.t i was sure !
I came accross this card :
http://www.netfreez.com/products/Netfreez_8GB_miniSD_Flash_Memory_Card_High_Capacity-10733-207.html
It says "high performance" but nowhere does it say SDHC. It would be incredible if it would work in the MDA (wizard). Anyone know anything about this card?
Oh I see it says High Capacity in the title, crap!
Are there any 6 or 8 gb micro or mini sd that are NOT HC? I want more than 2 gb in my MDA.
HEy guys! I have a small problem. I have a Kingston microSD with miniSD adapter and I wanted to use it with my Wizard, but it's not working! (On my PC it works) Please help! I've tried several ROMs (thought that it's the failure of the software), but no effect. Maybe the device's slot turned dead?
same problem
I have the same problem with my kingston 2 gb micro sd, but I know it accepts 2 gb micro cards because I used to use a lexar and it worked fine.

I just happened to see your post. I have a 4GB mini in my 8125 wizard and it works great. I have pictures, mp3's and gps software on it. I have never had any problems. I purchased it from Flash Memory Store. It is not an HD card...they also sell those. I have not seen any 6 or 8GB yet!!!
Here is the link:

does anyone have wm6.1 running and sandisk 8gb microsd sdhc card. does it work for you did you have to format it to 2 4gb drives. thank for any input
ltxda im pretty sure is running the 8gb on the ap 4.0 beta rom. works there. i believe he is also getting the 12gb soon or already has ones. should be working fully and show full 8gb on single partition.
I have a sandisk 8gb microsd and it came with a sandisk micro to mini adapter. i have the htc x7500 and i have tried the following roms. htc wm6, pk 3.0 dual, wm6.1... NONE of these have recognized the 8gb sd card at all. i put it in a blackjack II and it recognized it with no problem at all. i could write to it and it recognized all 8gb. I am not sure what i am doing wrong but i could use some help. i also tried the cab from this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361131 and it did not work at all. Thanks for any help you can provide
Looks like you have to wait for AP 4.0 then!

Hi
It seems to be unusual, because i used sandisk 8gb microsd with mini adapter on PK 3, PK 3 dual and WM6.1 roms. it worked on all of them. As far as i know that even 16gb and 32gb also works on Athena. Reformat the microsd (Fat32) then try, it should work.
Good luck

1 had similar problems with a 6 micro and mini adapter. I finally got the little bugger seated just right. I don't know whether it is the Athena or the adapter but it took me about 6 or 7 tries before my 6 gb showed up the good new for me is that once seated no more poblems since.

Hi
If your card is SDHC (Whatever capacity) it should read by X7500. I use the Kingston mini adapter and it reads 2, 4, 6, 8gb cards without problems. I feel your mini adapter may be the problem. try another adapter.
Good luck.

I have the sandisk 8gb with the adapter and it works just fine. 3.0 dual. Took out 4gb and inserted 8gb with no problems. Athena is compatible to 32gb on the HTC web site.

I can confirm the "bad micro to mini adaptor" issue, my Sandisk 8 micro SDHC card works absolutely flawless now that I got hold of a Kingston adaptor, prior to that I used a cheap Chinese noname adaptor, and with that it took a lot of fiddling to get my Ameo to see the card, and it would disconnect constantly. this is true with the AP 3 ROM, never tried WM 6.1.

Hi
I can use a 8 GB SanDisk microsd with another mini adapter. I bougth another micro sd sandisk adapter and the card is completely usefull. It won't be reconize with the include adapter with the card.
If you see carefully they has diferent id number.
Regards.
Maybe they neglect the quality control with these adapters.....
Any adapter will work with a micro SDHC provided (of course) that it isn't faulty. There is no issue with compliance between mini and micro adapters and the SDHC format as they simply act as a terminal bridge.
On similar topic - despite the abundance of 'SDHC READY' usb card readers available to buy - for more money than a standard reader - I am yet to find ANY so-called 'non-compliant' reader that DOESN'T read SDHC cards, other than internal laptop varieties.
I have an external cheapo N95 dock with a card reader, two different poundland (yes $2) card readers and one I got free with a memory stick duo nearly 3 years ago.
ALL read and write to SDHC cards fine....
strange that....

I already got gaming controllers xbox 360, ps3 and pc at home, so i wont need another one of those. I will for sure pick up HDMI cable and smart cover or whatever asus will call them. Also thinking of getting the 40pin to usb connector that ASUS makes. A couple other things i left out that are on my wish list that im not quite sure on are... protective screen and extra charging cable.
If anyone disagrees with one of these things, let me know below, i would like to here some opinions. Also if you have any hot items you will picking up to go with your TF201 let me know! Oh sorry for no links, still on my way to 8 posts... when i reach 8 ill come back through and fix them.
Is the dock's SD Card slot an SDXC? If not, there's no point in getting a 64GB SD card.

There's no such thing like a sdxc slot.
Testers haven't found any sdxc cards that didn't work in normal slots.

To utilize the full capacity you buy the firmware has to support SDXC.
Without SDXC support, you can't access beyond 32GB on a card.

SDXC cards are basically SDHC cards formatted to exFat. exFat has to be supported by your OS.
OR just format the card to Fat/Fat32/NTFS. And voilà your done.
There is no need for SDXC support. It's only the DEFAULT filesystem (exFat) which needs to be supported to get the support for files > 4GB. (Fat/Fat32 only support files up to 4GB)
Once again, there is no special requirement for SDXC cards. Only the DEFAULT filesystem may not work. There is no problem in using a 128GB Fat32 card in any device that supports SDHC.
I am using a 64GB SDXC in my TF101 dock with no problems, of course I had to reformat to NTFS and it works perfectly. ExFat was not supported by the software, NTFS was a cake walk....

Supposedly you can, however, in order to accomplish this, first the external HDD would have to be formatted in FAT32, or possibly EXT2/3/4; something which is natively recognized by the 7.7 Also, since the USB adapter only supplies a minimum amount of power (150mA I think), the HDD would have to be externally powered, either by its own power adapter, or by connecting through a powered USB hub (assuming the hub also has enough power to run the HDD).
It didn't recognize my external 500GB NTFS drive. I have a spare that I can format with FAT32 and will try that just for grins if I get a chance tomorrow. Otherwise, meh.
Update: I tried this with an external USB (self-powered) drive formatted in FAT32 and I got an error message saying "High Powered USB Device Connected: Cannot connect to...."
Not a big deal at all, really.
Just received a Corsair 128GB flash drive(Flash Voyager) today that I bought on Ebay for $45 . It was formatted to exFAT,which is Microsoft's newest file system,rather then FAT32 and allows files bigger then FAT32's 4GB max file size.
It works great on the 7.7 so exFAT is supported and even plays HD movies and lets you transfer files to the 7.7 and back.
I already had the 30pin to usb adapter.
Hi,
Great news. Thank you 7harper
Could you please post the ebay link from which you've purchased the key. I can't even find 128GB flash drive for this price. Thx !

How did you manage to get the 7.7 to read/write exFAT formatted disk? I can't seem to make it work here. Tried both Asian and European ROMs but in vain. Can anybody else who has a USB connector with an exFAT stick confirm this?
Thanks.
Hey...
Just wanted to let everyone know that a USB A Male to A Female won't really help much...
For a matter of fact it won't do anything... it's like an elongation cable of 8cm which is crap!!! I guess I wanted to get a Female-Female but came out a bit of a retard...
I wanted to use the 30pin to USB cable, connect it to a Female-Female converter and shove my other USBs on the other end.... wondering if that will work....
Anyhow that's just my 2 dimes...
have a nice day,
SK.
exFat doesnt work on micro sd cards in built-in slot so I guess it won't work on any other medium...

I have tried three different external hard drive assemblies ( one desktop, two portable) all with external power applied. One of the portables always triggers the High Power Device shutoff. So I think it depends on the drive box interface electronics.

Just want to reconfirm that the OEM Samsung USB & SD Connection Kit for Samsung Galaxy Tab will work for our 7.7?
I read that it is not supported for the original 7.0 and the 7.7 tablet - directly from the Samsung store.
Would be really sweet if it does work.
What I want to do is have it read my SD memory card.
Anyone?

I got it! I've tested it out and everything seems to be working out. However, I can't seem to get my 128 GB SD to be recognized with the SD Adapter.
It comes up as "SD card blank or unsupported filesystem"
I've formatted the card to NTFS and ext4 to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Edit: I got Fat32 to work with my 128 GB SD card. With the limitation of Fat32, I won't be able to transfer a file larger than 4 GB. Anyone how to get around this issue?
As stated by someone else earlier in this thread, try formatting with exFAT.
Is there anyway to connect 2.5 external HD?
I mean, using external power kinda defeat the purpose...

It happens with some usb sticks, they require more power than the phone can deliver, so it gives that error. Funny I use a 16GB usb stick from sandisk without problems and 8GB kingstons and Verbatim give that error too.

Use androzip or other file explorer, that happens with me too.
Mixed Bag
I have same 'requires too much power' problem :
Doesn't work for me:
Kingston DataTraveler Generation 2 USBstick (8Gb)
Duracell (PRO) Micro SDHC card CLASS 10 (8Gb) *
Generic Micro SD card CLASS 4 (2Gb) *
(* tried in 3 different card readers 2 of which are the miniature netbook type)
Does work for me:
Verbatim Store 'n' Go PinStripe USB stick (4Gb) (although astro filemanager and Clean filemanger sometimes show the disc as empty after 10 mins or so and only behave after a phone restart)
Panasonic DMC-TZ15 Digital Camera (with the Duracell (PRO) Micro SDHC card CLASS 10 (8Gb))
Peripherals connected to, Xperia U main microUSB(AB) socket via 90°(left hand) microUSB(B-male) to USB(A-female) adapter (no trailing cable).
(Apparently for a USB socket to be OTG compliant, it must be AB capable, yet the adapter i purchased wasn't specifically sold as an OTG capable item)
Very disappointing USB OTG memory stick/card performance from the Xperia U. Especially since there is no internal memory card slot and only 6 or 4 Gb of internal storage, depending on your view and/or phone software (partition) setup.
Saving grace is the 50Gb 'free with Xperia phones' cloud storage, with box.com, and the ability to take Photos on my camera and upload them to the tinternet while....on the go.
And of course I can use the micro SD card in the camera, on which I can pre load other files (namely Music and Video), as a 'powered' reader.
It would still be nice to just pop in the miniature sized reader complete with Micro SD card into the 90° adapter and browse away, as it makes the phone compact and convenient enough to use.
And of course the whole kerfuffle just begs the question;
Sony, why didn't you include memory card capability on the Xperia U ?
Phone : Sony Xperia U(ST25i) Running Android 4.0.4 build 6.1.1.B.1.54 (official update, Unrooted, Bootloader Locked)
Advantages:
1.cool browsing with mouse
2.expend your storage by plugging a pen drive (must be in FAT format)
3.with root access you can move apps and games to it(solve the crisis of Xperia U )
4.and more
