Dear All,
I was thinking of buying a 4GB SD card for my Xda Exec but i'm not quite sure if it supports it. Could someone please enlighten me on this, thanks alot.
regards,
Ravi
really interested to know your experience on this, or anyone else, as I am also looking.
This seems pretty cheap:
http://www.offtek.co.uk/item_detail.php?id=406125
Transcend do a compatability list, but doesn't have exec:
http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/FAQ/index.asp?axn=Detail&FAQNo=400
This is £109. Seen any cheaper for 4gb ?
interesting info:
Apparently, the 4gb sd card doesn't work on the treo650 as 4gb sd cards are in fat32 format and treo only accepts cards in fat format and not fat32 format.
Does exec recognise fat32 sd cards ?
Saw one on e-bay a couple of days ago for about £85 including shipping. I believe it was 150X speed (22Mbps). Will see if i can locate it, if you are interested.
cheers,
Ravi
Hey Everyone,
bought a couple of days ago a 4Gb SD card on ebay for £85.00.
Got it yearsterday put it in the Xda Executive works with no problem.
I formated it with Pocket Mechanic in FAT 32.
Copied all my stuff from my only 2GB MMC to the 4GB SD card a pop it in the XDA Executive and up to now I've had no problems.
Works Great.
The make of the card is:
My Flash
150X Turbo

Gigino, can the camera save to the card? That appears to be where most people have had problems
Hey Coldpenquin,
I tried what you have said to save a camera photo to the Storage card.
You are right they is a problem I get a error message saying:
Camera
Unable to capture.
Not enough memory.
36009:110:0
So it looks like that the 4Gb card does not work 100% on the Xda Exec.
Any another problem that I should be aware of.
Hope this is helpfull.
Any another person what me to try something please let me known.
Ciao
Gigino
the only card I know that does 150x is the transcend. wonder if this is the same OEM as the mycard ?????
Does camera save work ok on the 2gb ?
If you have an o2 xda exec it might worth a support email or call to o2. It sounds like a simple issue to fix, just some check in the camera software that is failing probably being due to using 32 bit integer, as this is 2gb address. 33bit is 4gb
just found out, myflash is actually adata.
adata is a good memory company, I have 2gb ddr2 in my pc from adata and np. They also make SD cards from samsung.
I never use the camera in any event. Cards the seem to be available in the uk:
Transcend (offtek)
Pretec
Myflash-adata (ebay)
Samsung-adata (samsung)
Ora (expansys)

I've had the same problem 5 months ago when I bought the 4GB Transcend. That is why I returned mine. The only solution is to store more than 2MB of whatever you want on the 4GB SD Card before the camera application will even recognize it. The camera application only supports up to 2GB Cards from my experience.
hey cktlcmd, r u saying that if more then 2m are stored in the photo sub-folder then the camera works as normal ?
+ personal qu. aren't you a bit pissed that you can't use umts in new jersey ?
I think that he means 2GB.
Basically, if you try and store a number greater that 2GB (i.e., 33bit), in a 32bit integer, the number will be returned as negative when read back as a 32bit integer. The camera program must be converting the amount of free space to a 32bit integer, which is not a correct assumption to make, but this is microsoft.
I was wondering whether the flash could be partitioned to be two 2GB partitions and whether this would fix the problem. But, if the programmers were so lazy not to check the bounds on variable or that they are the correct types, then it would probably not be possible to see the second partition

Coldpenguin is right.
Unfortunately, we have to accept our service providers' limitations.
Using 4Gb card for already few months and works great.
it is a 150X.
Of course, you can't use it to save pictures, but this is a pure software problem.

off topic, sry: hey patrick is there a umts network in Isr ?

there is one, it's the Orange network.
So, can I confirm from you guys? Since I'm about to buy a 4GB SD Card, too.
1. Both Transend and Adata 4GB will work on Universal.
2. Only camera application cannot store directly to the SD Card, but if we have the SD Card filled up with more than 2 GB amount of data, then the camera can store files on it? Has anyone try it before, or its just an assumption?
Thanks in advance.
I can personally speak to the 4gb Transcend - works exactly as you described in #2. fill with at least 2gb and camera saving to card works fine.
Hey guys (&girls?)
DId anyone of you discovered the same problem as I did in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=269843#269843
I just tried the camera to save to the 4GB SD Card (Transcend x150) and had no problems with the two pictures I took.
Saved them directly to the Card in folder

Someone posted that the newest QTEK ROM fixes this 4GB Camera problem. I have this ROM installed in my device but I don't have a 4GB card to test on.
Just thought some of you guys would like to know.

Storage card for Atom
I am using a 2GB Sandisk mini SD. Works fine
10x
I've got the 2GB Topram mini sd....seems ok data to took 9 secs to copy a 27mb file 3mb a sec is that good??
i thought they are 'unlimited'...no?
2 GB topram and 2gb stargem RAM both 150x speed work fine
2 GB topram and 2gb stargem RAM both 150x speed work fine. Not at the indicated speeds to ok.
Both ordered on ebay directly from Taiwan, they arrived speedely as indicated on the ebay and in good condition.
I'm oso using 2GB, works ok. BTW how do i know the speed for my 2GB card? wat does the 150x means from you guys?
4gb must be handled. more cappasites may not work.
8gb card can be seen 4, 5 or some least from 8gb.
16gb mini sd card not produced even.
just joined this forum - looking to buy an atom ar an exec. the memory cards that i read about are now in a new format called SDHC. Thus the 4 Gb is only available in miniSDHC. Is o2 compatible with this format and has anyone used a 4GB card in the atom? this will be the deal breaker for me...
normally atom doesn't support SDHC. but you can fix it with a patch. maybe it can fix the storage limitation(8 gigabyte!)
i'm using a 4 gig topram mini-sd without any problems.
got it on ebay a while back and you can get it for like $35 shipped to the U.S. nowadays.
i'm hoping that the Atom can take a 8 gig. so anyone using an 8 gig card? is there such a card (non-sdhc capacity card) since the atom can't take sdhc cards??

My WM6 Atom Exec has the 8GB Sandisk MicroSDHC card. However, it has the same problem as some of the Sandisk cards -- not reading the card intermittently.
Hi there,
Bro has just picked up an Xda Orbit and I wanted to know if there are any high speed Micro SD cards at 1GB or 2GB available?
Since my Xda2i days, I've been impressed with the Transcend range but they dont seem to do any hi speed micro sd cards - or at least I can't see them listed !
I'm open to other's Sandisk etc but I'd like them to be hi speed cards
Can anyone point me to sites which have them please?!
Cheers!

Right hand side 2gb £49.99 +postage, I bought one just before Christmas all cool.
But note the thread on MicroSD issues on the Artemis/Orbit in other thread - issues with the PDA not SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
i can only recommend the card mentioned by ricardoC above. have been using it for about twelve weeks now and had no issue with it at all. you should keep in mind though, that afaik,the speed of a card INSIDE a ppc device is purely dependant on the speed of the device. therefore the stated read and write speeds not applicable. nevertheless i FIND the card to perform faster in my hero in comparison to sd cards inside my mdac one.

got mine here: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270057565199
SanDisk memory products have never given me any problems, plus there is 5 year warranty here in Switzerland.
I used a "standard" SD in my old BlueAngel and when I changed it for an UltraII Sandisk SD TomTom map access/scrolling was a LOT faster. Its true the card is only as fast as the interface but you want to get the max out of it so fastest card you can get is best.

It might be true on a Blue Angel but the standard SanDisk SD card is more than fast enough for the Magicians SD interface so buying an Ultra version is just a waste of money.
Disregard my reply, I thought I was still in the Magician forum.
It might be true for the Artemis though.

high speed micro sd card - update
Hiya
I ordered a 1GB Sandisk Ultra 2 card for my bro's orbit and hopefully it'll work without hiccups and possible corruptions!
My bro's Orbit will be my little test unit and if all is well, I'll get one too ! and the same micro SD card of course!
thanks for the pointers
Cheers, Dennis! West London UK!
Depending on what you want it for note that TomTom's single map of western europe is 900mb - so it will nearly fill a 1gb card, just thought I would mention it.
I use transcend never have any problem with P800w or Artemis
i'm using this brand since Dopod 818Pro or XDA NEO
Hi everyone, has anybody tried the 4GB high capacity micro SD card on the Artemis using official WM6 ROM? I am thinking about getting one but not sure if it will work, so just checking first.
I have seen a thread under the HTC Universal about a new ROM of it supporting the 8GB high capacity SD and I am tempted to get one a try it on my HTC Universal (SPV M5000)!
Thanks!

8GB SDHC on Atom Exec
So, what does this thread aims to accomplish? I feel like I have tried all the cabs and links, but still no luck making it work, I still cannot use my 8GB Sandisk MicroSD(with a MINI SD Adapter) I bought for my xda Atom Exec.
Is upgrading my ROM to WM6 the only way to go? Has this been proven to work? I have been reading on the forums but I cannot find a patch that works specifically for my device? or maybe im looking in the wrong thread?
Can someone point me in the right direction?

just a thought that might help; could it be that it only works on atom and not atom exec?
OT: i think this is double post, i think i replied to the other thread having the same initial content; i'm thinking of buying 8gig myself but i'm wondering if it will work on 6mp pp w/o sdhc drivers as well. Hmm, maybe, i don't any see any relation on pagepool with 8gig sdhc, i maybe work, and it's just to make sure...

8 GB memory card for Atom
Hi, Guys. I happened to read this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-305135.html
But several of our friends there posted that 4Gig SD card is supported by our Atom phone. Nobody yet confirmed the 8Gig and up except Sanjay2007.
hi Kentthegreet
hi Kentthegreet i m sanjay2007 this i m using 8gb sandisk microsd card with mini sd adapter very smoothly really it works great than 2gb card u have to buy 8gb carg without any tension i m gave u promise it will work definately
But does the 8gb Micro sdhc card work in Atom Life as well ??
im running windows mobile 6
hi all
why not ATOM LIFE ALSO SUPPORT 8GB CARD IT MY GAURANTEE
Thanks, Sanjay
If your current machine only supports plug slot micro, mini SD card is 2GB maximum, after you run the file. Cab, you try to plug the card 4G, and 16G to 8GB, if the machine is successful already. Đã test and working on WM 6 / 6.1. When soft run, save the new device is nhé. And for any machine you see this long is your computer manufacturer advertising is to use the card to 8GB, so you try it only back from 2GB (maybe ROM failed). You only need to use this soft 100% successful.
i also upgrade memory upto 16gb
my dear friend this time i using great jiggs rom which donot want any patch for 8gb card . my future plan is upgrade the memory of my atom up to 16gb in few days i know very well atom also support 16gb memory card because of atom machine
