Sorry buddy but thats a Mini SD, not Micro SD.

cheers for that u saved me some money i was just about to pay for the one i gave the link to saved me some money

There are Micro SD 4GB coming out but they're slated to be Micro SDHC which requires you to have a compatible device. I asked HTC if the Artemis we compatible with it, the answer is no.

i bought a 4gb micro sd card on the cebit and it works in the p3300!

good news!
which one is it? have you been able to fill it all the way, with no problems?

4GB does not mean SDHC
4GB is the limit for a non-HD SD card, and micro-SD is the same "electrically".
I tried a non-HD 4GB SD card on an MDA compact (T-Mobile) that has an OMAP 850 CPU, (like the Artemis) and it works fine. So... non-HD 4GB micro-SD cards should work fine.
It would be great if the HD cards worked, but HD-SC use a different type of addressing (i.e. you have to up the registers in the card in a different way) so it might not work )
What we need is someone to try a SD-HC in another OMAP-850 based device, and see if it works.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_Card#SD_and_SDHC_compatibility_issues

Anyone know anything about micro mmc?

i should be a sandisk (but i am not sure with this chinese guys)
yes, no problems

Can you buy a 4Gb non-HD micro-SD card?
Firstly, apologies if you see this twice because I posted this question in the main forum and realised I should have replied to this thread for those subscribed to it. (newbie)
After reading through this thread there's been some advice that suggests you can purchase 4Gb non-ND micro-SD cards, however after searching I can't find any. I realise HD will not work with the Armentis/HTC/Orbit.
If you have a 4Gb card working could you please reply to the post with a link to the actual product, or supply product details.
Many thanks

That's the HC one, which won't work with non-HC equipment, and the HTC etc don't support HC (sorry I wrote "HD" in earlier post).

HTC says in http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=101812 (posting #14) "Please also bear in mind that at present, you are advised not to use more than a 2gb memory card in a HTC device"...

Aha ... that answers the question then! I bit the bullet and ordered a couple of 2Gb cards.
Danke ;-)

LOL, I use a 4 GB MMC Card since 1,5 years in my Magician without problems at all...

Still there is a little hope. Nobody ever stated that Trinity will work with mini SDHC cards. Nevertheless actually it supports this format. WM6 based customized roms made for 3600 do contain new card driver fully supporting SDHC. Though it is compatible with WM6 OS only.

I purchased a 4gb SDHC card (Sandisk) for use in my XDA Orbit (Stock WM5). It does not work - not even recognised as having a card inserted. Has anybody confirmed it works with the unofficial WM6 roms?

I need memory

..just joined, and I feel like the guy who arrived late to the party..take a while to find my feet!
just joined...take a while to find my feet..! Got an xda exec...wanting to put an 8GB SDHC memory card into it, but been told the limit is 2gb...is this true?
How can I increase memory or link USB1.1 to Belkin card reader and show contents of memory cards on my XDA Exec?
Thanks for the help
I'm wanting to upgrade the memory of my XDA Exec to 8GB SDHC, but have been told that this is not possible..what is the highest level of memory upgradable on the XDA Exec?

SDHC cards wont work.
4gb is the highest you can get in normal sd cards, but be careful when buying as some 4gb cards are normal SD and some are SDHC.

I bought a 4gb SD from www.mobymemory.com for £19.99 a while back, was one of the cheapest, works fine, and have had no problems in the Universal.
EDIT: They still have them now http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SD_MOBYMEMORY_4096_002

I'm using DarkForce's 2.10.03, and found an interesting driver registry key:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIN\SDHC
and sdhc.dll in \windows\...
Can anyone try 8GB SDHC card with this ROM?
WTF is that dll for?

For SDHC to work:
1. The hardware must be right
2. The software must be right
In the case of WM6 in the Universal, the software (WM6) is right .... this is why the registry key you are referring to exists. But SDHC won't work in the Universal because well ... the hardware is not right.

looks like SDHC will soon be a reality to exec...
heard mamaich's already been working on this....

Guys are you certain about the hardware of Universal is not compatible?
I have a Treo 650 and for some time the limit was 2GB then suddenly with the coming of Treo 680 it was compatible with SDHC, only a driver mod and voila.
In the forums there were users which where 100% sure that the hardware was incompatible but all of them prooved wrong.

SD Card size

Hi Guys,
I've read through the forum and looked at the wiki, but I've not seen any mention of what the largest size SD card supported.
I've got an o2 XDA Orbit, and I was thinking about getting one of the new 4GB micro SD Cards, but I'm not sure if it would be supported.
anyone know? TIA

If the card you are looking at is sdhc it will not work in the artemis.
There are some (reportedly) non-sdhc 4gb cards out soon and in theory they should as do 4gb non-sdhc minisd cards in the wizard.
So at the moment 2gb is the max - i would choose a fast one like the sandisk ultra.

The card I was looking at was a standard SD card not SDHC, I found it on Play
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/3359487/Sandisk-Micro-SD-4GB/Product.html
Interestingly when I was looking at it this afternoon it was in-stock, now its marked as Pre-order...

I saw that too but i dont have the link - 50 odd pounds i believe - but i think its not out till june - try it out, if it does not work send it back.

I found it http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/3359487/Sandisk-4GB-Micro-SD-Card/Product.html
from the image it looks like its non-sdhc but ???
time will tell

meschle,
Do you happen to know if Artemis is able to work with microSDHC cards provided its firmware has been changed to the new one containing WM6 OS. (You might have heard O2 Germany has already issued WM6 ROM for Orbit).

That needs to be verified but i doubt if it will work as it has not on say the hermes with wm6 - but your right needs to be tested.

I asked because I 'd been informed that new customized hand made firmwares for Trinity issued by lvsw and mun. The authors stated the support of mini SDHC, and some users have already confirmed that. I am not sure whether drivers came together with WM6 or were extracted manually from other devices.

Orbit WM6
My Orbit is updated to o2's WM6 version and "will not" recognise a 4GB SDHC card ;-(

SDHC Driver already in XDA Orbit?

It seems there is some understanding out there that a couple of ROM cookers have made WM6 roms compatible with SDHC cards. However, with my stock O2 XDA Orbit, I found under the registry, HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\SDHC. The entry refers OMPA850_SDHC.dll and other settings such as ControllerIRQ, SDIOPriority and the dll file actually exists under the windows dir (43472 bytes)!
Does that mean O2's ROM has already got the driver? Or is that common to all P3300? And most importantly, has Orbit owner actually tried a SDHC card to prove it does or doesn't work? so if anyone can borrow a 4Gb card, probably from a Nokia N95 owner, and give it a go, that'll be great, I'm searching for a card too.

Amazon offers 4GB Cards

I believe that "SDHC" means in this context "Secure Digital Host Controller", and not "Secure Digital High Capacity". As far as I Know every P3300 has that entry in the registry and the library OMAP850_SDHC.dll...
It doesn't mean that 4 GB SDHC don't work in our device, and in fact I'm interested also in knowing experiences of users with that kind of memory cards
Sorry for my horrible english

Oh yes, this makes sense. I may have to switch to a WM6 rom for it. But when my gf gets the HTC Touch, I'll see if I can copy the SD driver from there
BTW, your english is pretty good too!

6GB microSDHC on 8525

will this work on any cooked version of WM6? can anyone confirm who has it?
^^Sandisks site says it only supports up to 2gigs but its been confirmed working for the 4gigger
i can upgrade my order of a 4gigger to a 6 for only $17 more......but i need to confirm that it will work
could there....would there be any limitations in the future for larger sizes such as the upcoming 8gigger?

It will work only with some cooked WM6 ROMs as they have applied SDHC drivers in their ROMs. It will not work with original WM6 Roms.

hmm find your reply kinda vague if not erroneous. but someone do correct me if i am wrong.
aren't cooked roms (newer if not all) based on original wm6 roms?
and i would think 4gb sdhc (and above ?) WILL WORK on wm6 roms irregardless if cooked or not... think this was covered in some other thread.

an oh to the OP.. same question.. where are you getting the 6gb SDHC? should also warn you of counterfeit cards that are out. but if your seller is legit, id be interested.. although i just got my 4gb SDHC..

4GB, 6GB, 32GB it doesn't matter. If it's SDHC, it'll work. SD 3.0 cards will not work however.

ROM Versions
Correct, 4, 6, 32, all should work fine IF the WM6 ROM supports SDHC. Re comment above, no, not all WM6 support SDHC, for example the earlier LVSW ROM's didn't but the most recent do. Apologies, I am not sure which versions do but if you look in the details on the first post for each of the ROM's out there they usually state if SDHC is supported.

Did you ever consider trying SDHC on original WM6 before replying on my message?
FYI, did not work on my device.

I have a 6GB on order
Here's where to go. It's scheduled to arrive there today. I will report on compatibility with VP3G asap.

www.blt.com is the site and SDSDQ--6144-A11M is the part #. The cost is $78

Questions:
1. What version of phone do you have ie; 100, 200, 300?
2. Which ROM are you running?
3. Source of the card - EBay, internet, retail?
4. Name of the company that sold it to you
5. Brand & model # of card?
6. Was it bulk packed or retail packed?
7. Country location of seller?
8. Price you paid not including shipping
It almost sounds like you were sold a 4 and told it was a 6 based on the 3.954GB figure.

ok....based on ur responses i changed to 6GB for $17 more ($81w/free ship from CompSource)....the 4GB just began shipping today but since i made the switch (just barely) was able to hold out for the 6GB with an ETA of Monday....hella worth it to get an extra 2gigs for that price!
oh...card is from one of (if not) the best manufacturers....SanDisk so its legit & being sold by a reputable retailer
