is there a maximum size for sd cards in xda's... im having problems with my 4gb sd... is this a common problem?
Its the speed that is the key.
Hi, I had similar probs with Magician and 1gb,2gb, 4gb cards.
Seems that certain devices can't handle SD cards with speeds more than 60X. Most high end cards are 150X.
Finally I got this Kingmax 4gb SD40X card from Dabs.com under £50 and it works in my Magician ,Universal and Himalaya. Hope this helps
PS; If you can try your card in another device at least you can check if the card is faulty.I had one faulty card .I also had a faulty device which had backlight probs and had to go back under warranty for repair !!!!

Official answer from Qtek
After i had problems with TomTom:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Had the same error {map not found} thought it was TomTom error so i bought Destinator (excellent software) but the problem was identical.
So bought a new storage card Contacted Qtek about it:
"Thank you for your E-mail. Regarding your query, please note that the SD card standard is limited to 2 GB and our devices are fully compliant to the standard. Cards with the capacity greater than 2 GB are not compliant to the standard and we cannot guarantee that they will function correctly. As to transferring speed, we recommend not using ultra speed SD cards with the speed more than 64x as they either will not work or may pose problems later. Also we would like to inform you that some SD cards need to be formatted using any PC / Laptop (supporting SD cards) before using with our devices.".
So put in a 45x speed 2GB SD card and still the same problems.
Contacted Microsoft and they gave me a hint:

Finaly all works perfect now running Destinator 6 & Navigon 5.2.6

How about XDA II? I heard it is only support 512Mb
Can anyone tried SD card bigger than 512Mb?
i think it depends on the OS
Hi guys
don't quote me on this but i think the supported size by enlarge depends on the version of ppc/wm you are running...form what i read people with wm5 on their himalayas were happily running 4 gig cards (i think someone may have evn been using an 8gig) but 2003 i think only really likes up to 2 gig.
if someone can confirm this it would be appreciated as i'm looking to get a new card for mine...i'm stuck down in 2k3 so i have full backpack functionality but i'm hoping i can get a 4gig working in there
if anyone is using the 2k3 and has a 4gig working all fine and dandy please let me know which rom ver you are using and which card you are using so i at least have some idea what is possible.

Hi, Flakey software from TomTom. I have XDA IIs with 1GB and 4GB SD cards. TomTom v6, Western Europe maps, two voices, GB postcodes and satellite images sneaks into 1GB card.
TomTom wouldn't install to 4GB card, using 1GB SD card and TomTom Home software product I performed a backup. Then restored backup to 4GB card. Yes TomTom and maps work with the 4GB SD card.
However, when attempting TomTom Home back up from 4GB card software message says "No data to backup". Thats what I call flakey software and where are software updates for v6.01?

TomTom Navigator 6 - TomTom - Home software product doesn't like the 4GB SD memory card very much. Then again TomTom navigator 6 doesn't like the 2GB SD micro memory card either oh what fun
2GB cards DO WORK with Xda IIs and XDA II mini
The issue posted on the Microsoft Site isn't really related to the size of the SD card inserted - here's the updated URL by the way: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/277742
I've found that my XDAIIs does support a 2GB card - the main problem that I had was formatting it. The trick is that the card has to be formatted as 2GB (or max capacity) BEFORE inserted into the device, otherwise problems will occur. When I formtted the 2GB SD card in my device, it indicated that the card was a 2GB card, but 1GB of the sectors on the SD card were marked as bad (just run a DOS chkdsk command on the card following such an operation on the PC). To format the card properly, you'll need a SD card reader/writer that copes with cards > 1GB. I've also got a SD card reader in my Fujitsu latop (built in), but it only supports up to 1GB. Most of the latest USB multi-format card readers should work with the large capacity. So, to get it to work:
1) Ensure that you have a SD card reader on the PC that supports >1GB capacity
2) Format the card on the PC in the reader/writer
3) Validate that the format was successful by running the DOS chkdsk command on the SD Card - ensure there are no bad sectors
4) Then insert the SD Card in your PPC
I know for a FACT that a 2GB card works in both an XDA IIs card, and an Xda II mini device, as I've had both working.

To the forum,
Lately I've been having an intermittent problem where Windows Media Player Mobile doesn't "see" the storage card anymore [where the songs are stored]. All other apps on the card run fine. Pocket Mechanic Pro v2.50.199 shows no problem with card. A friend stuck in his storage card & media Player "saw" the card??? I reformatted the SD card using Pocket Mechanic Pro and checked that Media Player could see the card. I have a /My Documents folder on Sd card.
Three weeks later, the same problem is occuring, Media Player can't see the storage card. If I remove the SD Card and reinsert it, a media player dialog box comes saying a SD card was inserted, do you want to search the card for music and video. I say yes and it finds the 45 songs but hangs in trying to build a library of them. It finally returns with no songs and unable to see the SD card.
The SD Card is a 1GB SanDisk micro SD card about 8 months old.
Any thoughts out there?

Another question for the group: Pocket Mechnic Pro (PMP) has the ability to set the FAT and Cluster size when formatting the storage card. Could it be I have the wrong FAT-cluster combination? PMP supports formating a fat of FAT12, FAT16 & FAT32 and cluster sizes from 1 sector, 512B up to 128 sectors, 64K.
Any recommendation on FAT/Cluster combination to use for my SanDisk 1GB micro SD Card?
Thanks Craig
hi all
i haven't use my xda2 for long time, and recent wm6 bring my interest back on.
The stoneage sd card i'm using is 256m, and all in suddent i found a tool which says support the SDHC with XDAII. and can someone have SDHC plz try this tool on the device. The tool is harmless I swear, and only designed for the SDHC, NORMAL SD CARD WILL DISPPEAR from the device after installation as I tried on my 256 card, after uninstallation and it works again.
Please post reply if it works(with your device) and i'm gonna grab a SDHC for my XDAII. Thank you very much in advance!
Please always run virus check after download for your own safety.
Hey guys,
any solution? I think this would solve some lagg problems because some SD Cards are slow (Class 4) and on Internal nand flash, it would run a bit better
Any suggestions?
given the amount of storage on the x10 or the lack thereof i would just suggest you buy a faster sd card
Hi!
What is the maximum read/write speed of the SD card supported by Moto e 2015 (xt1526)? Does it make sense to buy high-speed SD (UHS-1 and UHS-3) card with read/write speed of 90Mb/s. Can anyone share examples of read-write speed on your sd card?
Thanks)
No,
You can buy kingston white&blue for max speed as external/internal memory.
I'm using sg evo - 27/20 mb/s r/w.

I bought a memory card Transcend 32Gb microSDHC UHS-I (TS32GUSDU1)

Hi...
I recently purchased Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon edition).
And I am thinking of buying 128gb Memory Card for the same.
And want it support files larger then 4gb (single file size)
But after searching on internet, i didn't found any fixed information regarding the 128gb Memory Card support.
So can my phone support it?
I tried connecting the ntfs (memory card and pendrive both) on the phone but it shows error...
So i don't think it support 128gb due to fat32 size limitations..
Is there any way to solve the problems...
Note: Please i want to avoid use Paragon Mount and other similar software's
So i want to know:
Will my phone support 128gb Memory Card?
Can any changes such as rooting and custom ROM solve problem? (Although i would prefer avoiding this)
I also found out that some users after inserting memory cards of higher size (>32gb) reported 'Motherboard Damage' >>> is this possible?
Can higher capacity memory cards damage the phones motherboard ?
My Phone Info:
Snapdragon 650; 3gb RAM; 32gb Internal
Android version :5.1.1
MIUI 8.0.6.0
Thanks...
Ntfs is supported by cyanogenmod so u can flash that and your problem is fixed and yes it supports 128gb but do u actually need 150 gb in your phone.
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
MIUI supports 128gb formatted as FAT32. Limited to under 4gb file size.
If you need to connect usb sticks to your device get "Stickmount" app, but you wanted to avoid that?
FAT32 (Large) works fine. 128GB works.
I'm on RR 5.8.0. Using 128 gb sd card as adoptable storage, and it's fine.
