4GB SD card...
I am using 4GB cards of several brands (A-Data, SanDisk, Transcend etc.) with my BlueAngel without any kind of problem....
Hi All,
I just got hold of a Takems (a German company) 4Gb SD 133x card from an Amazon seller (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Takems-Hyper-Speed-flash-memory/dp/B000C3RC9C) for about £30 plus delivery, so I thought I would report my findings. Note that I got their SD card, not their SDHC card.
I am running an O2 XDA Exec on the Vodafone network, and I have upgraded my ROM to WM6 (Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE). I have TomTom v6 working with a BT-359 bluetooth GPS, and up until now I have been using a 2Gb Kingston Memory SD card.
First of all, the bad news - I plugged the Takems card into the SD card slot on my HP nc4400 laptop - no dice . It sometimes recognises that there is a device plugged in, but never sees it as a useable drive. Similarly, no luck with my Kingston usb SD card reader (which has been pretty good with other cards).
The good news is that I found an 18-month-old no-name SD reader which I originally bought at Dusseldorf airport (Windows reports the Device Instance Id as USB\VID_07C4&PID_A600\0000014822), and this reads the card perfectly , which meant that I could back up my original 2Gb card and restore to the 4Gb card using my PC.
The even better news for HTC Universal owners is that when I put the restored-to 4Gb card into my XDA Exec, it also recognised the card perfectly . I can read the files, TomTom still works, and the Settings/Memory tool sees it as having 4Gb. I just took a picture with the camera, and it saved perfectly to Storage Card/My Documents/My Pictures, even though the card is less than 2Gb full.
Hopefully this is useful to other owners,
Darren
Works with HP after all
Thanks to the post here (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/517257.html) I discovered that it was easy to make my 4Gb SD card work on my HP laptop - it just required a registry tweak for the TI SD card driver:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet001\Services\tifm21\Parameters
Original Key Value: SDParam = 16 (Decimal) 10 (Hex)
New Key Value: SDParam = 1
Cheers,
Darren
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.
Can anyone recommend some Makes/models of 4G SC cards for my Universal which I have just upgraded with the new B&L 2.08.01 Rom.
Anyone Please

Hi there,
I have bought two 4gb SD from this supplier for my 2 Universal (Xda Exec and Jarjar):
http://cgi.ebay.com/4GB-High-Speed-...yZ150673QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
They are cheap, shipped world wide, excellent, full SD cards rather than miniSD and you get a free card reader with it.
I am using BeastyLeo B&L 2.08.01 with one of my Universal and it works great.

Transcend SD 4Gb 150x. Works great.
Does anybody know if there is an SDHC 8Gb, with a speed greater than 100x?
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.
