4GB SD card...
I am using 4GB cards of several brands (A-Data, SanDisk, Transcend etc.) with my BlueAngel without any kind of problem....

max. microsd card possible on Dash?

Is there a size limit to the microsd that the Dash will take? I ask this because I used to have a Motorola A1200 that only took 1gb microsd.

I have a 2GB microSD card in my dash. Works great

Up to 2 gb would work just fine. From I've been read, 2 gb is the max you can go with Dash.

2g is the max for SD, microSD, miniSD. The only thing higher is called SDhc (Secure Digital High Capacity) and will only work on cameras and devices that say they are SDhc compatible, ones that don't won't recognize it.

I just recently purchase a 2GB from Sandisk and it works fine. I purchaed it from Outpost.com for $20 after rebate. I think the reason why Dash only supports up to 2GB because 4GB microsd aren't available yet during the time of the release (and currently as well that aren't NON SDHC). I wish the 4GB will come out soon because you know by then 8GB microsd will next. I think 8GB is a good size for the dash. Enough to pack decent amount of music, files, programs, and definitely gps maps that take a lot of space.

There is no Non SDHC because SD technology can't support over 2g. That's why they made SDhc. Different format/technology. SD is FAT16 and SDhc is FAT32. (from what I've seen online)

Yes, I do understand that SD cards are limited but it is possible as you can see many ppl are buying standard 4GB SDs and even MiniSD that don't require SDHC readable devices. They are non-SDHC that is formatted to FAT32. Ebay is flooded with these non-sdhc 4gb miniSD and they work according to many. In time, I'm sure there will be 4gb microsd that don't require SDHC as well too. The 8GB of course most likely will remain SDHC as it is still fairly new in the flash memory industry at the moment.

Do they just format it from 16 to 32? And if so do you know how they do this? I've been looking online and can't find anything.

8gb non sdhc sd card.

I came across some 8 gb sd cards on ebay that the vendors claim are not sdhc. Anyone used this cards or could anyone confirm that they are actually compatible with non sdhc devices?

Regular sd cards only officially go up to 2gb but i have seen 4gb but dont work on all devices. That 8gb is a fake.

They are coming up all over ebay and people are buying and posting good feedbacks. I do use a 4g sd card which works flawlessly in my universal and also in my old toshiba e800 running wm2003se.

hmm.. i see them on ebay but im hesitant to buy them...

4GB non-SDHC Transcend
I have HTC Himalaya, I flashed it with WM 6.0 from Helmi and today (4.11.2010) I succefully started to use 4 GB SD (non-SDHC) card from Transcend in my Himalaya! Accordin´ to many opinions and comments I know that the device only has to support standard SD 1.1 (in hardware way) everything else is irrelevant! Now I´m searching for 8GB one (also non-SDHC), cause I know it exists! But first I have to find it and then I will post here that it works with Himalaya (meaning, if it works with Himalaya, It should work with any MDA or PDA with SDIO slot and hardware support for SD 1.1 format)

HC = "High Capacity".
It has to do with data addressing.
In order for a >2GB card to be non-HC, it has to have some other mechanism for switching between the 2GB segments than typical SDHC cards, like a physical switch on the back of the card. In essence, it will be multiple SD cards in a single package.

There are 3 SD standards:
-SD (max 2GB)
-SD 1.1 (max 4GB)
-SDHC (everything above 4 GB)
Don't buy these "SD" cards I bought one of them their quality was bad...after using it for 2 weeks the plastic case of the memory chip broke in 2 parts...now i have only the chip I cannot use anywhere.
The data I stored on it became sometimes unavailable I had to format the card...
Long story short: don't buy them.

SDHC on WM6
If your OS is WM6, then it should support SDHC. The SDHC standard specifies a size range of 4 GB - 32 GB. If your OS supports the SDHC standard, then it can read any SDHC card. Of course, there are no 32 GB cards... Yet!
There are actually some non-SDHC 4 GB cards. In particular, Q Memory makes 4 GB non-SDHC cards, but I believe they only have full size and mini, not micro. FWIW, while I was able to read the miniSD 4 GB non-SDHC on my Wizard, running WM5, it was so slow that I couldn't actually run any programs installed onto the card!
Regardless, if you have any of the great WM6 ROMs here, you'll be able to read a microSDHC card.

XDA IIS Memory stick problems - 4 GB Micro SD with adapter

Hi all. I'm new on this forum and have recently had my new phone stolen from me. I decided to blow the dust off the XDA IIS and have spent the last few days on here fiddling with it.
I ordered a new 4gb memory card. It is 4GB Micro SD inside a SD adapter. and works perfectly in the PC. I also have an old mi nin SD 512 inside an SD adapter and this works. I 've spent hours reading the forum and can't find a solution. I apologise if this has allready been asked but does anyone have any suggestions?
Its an XDA IIS and I have tried numerous windows installations on the phone with the same result. It is now running WM 6.5.3
Thankyou in avdance...

as a matter of facts, it has been asked dozens of times already. but still:
4gb is the boarderline size for sd cards (sd, mini-sd, micro-sd doesn't matter).
4gb is available as an sd1.0 card (standard sd), and also as sd2.0 card (sdhc). the sdhc standard is not compatible with the blueangel.
or, in layman's terms:
every sd card of 2gb or less capacity works
every sd card of 8gb or more capacity doesn't work
for 4gb cards you have to look out, so you don't accidently buy an sdhc card, kingston and transcend have good standard 4gb cards.

Thanks for your reply. So basically it should work? I tried to make sure I didnt buy SDHC and it doesn't say it on the card. Would you say that the card more than likeley is SDHC?

what brand and model is it?
but afaik all micro sd cards of 4gb are sdhc, there are very few normal size 4 gb sd cards, namely kingston and transcend, but the majority of 4gb cards is sdhc and therefor incompatible.
