Hello! I called the customer service of O2 today. It says that a storage-card (MicroSD) for the XDA Orbit cannot bei bigger than 512 MB. I cannot believe that but is this correct? Does anybody know the maximum size for a storage card?
Not true - my Orbit runs fine with a 1Gb card, as does my MDAC3.
I am happily running a 2Gb card in my Orbit
Where's the limit?
What about 2GB or 4GB? Will they work with the XDA Orbit?

Hi,
I'm not as experienced as some others on this forum... I'm sure they'll correct my info
I spent a day or so seraching for info before I got my card, and FWI here are my notes:
2GB fine.
4Gb may be problematic.
Thickness of SD card may be a problem. The latch/Phone card has to be correctly clicked into place around the card.
Some makes of card seem better. Sandisk HIGH SPEED seem to be good.
I've got a 2Gb version and it's ok, but read others experiences in the forums.
I got both Lexar and CNex tools to check formatting could be done with full control and also to provide recovery possibility.
Hope that may help.
damned micro sd card
please can someone help?
i have a 1gb sandisk micro card which is being reported by my orbit as 512mb(minus FAT). i put it into my computer and it is clearly 1gb. i have tried putting more onto the card via the orbit, and it says "no more space", but it is fine via the pc. what's going on?!?
thanks in advance,
Tom
Maybe you should try WM5Storage and format SD card on PC. There is detailed instruction how to do it on forum.
afaik there are no 4gb micro sd cards. 2gb is max for them atm
I sell 2gb micro sd for the orbit on a daily basis and had no problems with them, I even use one myself.

not true i have one and its working!
Mobile 2007 .... what make and how I was under the impression 4GB were not compatible?
I'm currently using a 2GB Sandisk microSD card and it is perfectly working.
Regarding 4GB microSD cards, they are called microSDHC (High Capacity) and as far as I know, the Artemis is not able to read from of write to them.
That's what I thought but it appears mobile2007 has got it to work?
I've got a 1gig with all sorts on it. I think 2gig is the biggest at the moment.

Hi,
I was reading a thread on the 4GB SD Cards and am still unsure if the 4GB Transcend 150x SD Card works on the O2 Exec/Universal/Dopod 900? I would like to confirm with someone who has used this SD card in their Exec/Universal.
According to the Transcend Tech Support, they replied... "First of all, thank you for considering Transcend product. O2 series support SD memory up to 2GB.(Please refer to the website for compatibility list)
http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/Search/index.asp .f you have any other question, please feel free to let us know"
I've looked at their site and the stated max size supported is 2GB... This is confusing as other people have mentioned it kindof working..
Would love to know before I jump out and buy it!
Cheers!
RE
There're some discussions here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37544&highlight=4gb+sd
I bought this card and used for about 2 weeks in my jasjar without any problems. I'm now using/testing in my dopod 818 pro /jamin and again no problems thus far. The size is awesome.

I've used that card in my XDA Exec for a month or so and had no problems whatsoever. The only catch is that the photo camera app won't save photos and videos to it, giving you an error when you try.
Now I've moved it to my Axim. I'm using a 1GB card on my Exec and the photos can be saved to the memory card without problems.
It is so cool,Without any problem.......Work very well with my Qtek9000~~~~
Yes, it works, but on my device, the camera application refuse to store my pictures and movies to it. So in the end, I returned mine and bought a 2GB SD Card which works quite well.

Thanks all for the replies... Just wondering if what everyone said about putting 2GB of stuff on the 4GB card, then leaving less than 2GB free, the the camera app will work is true or not?
Not sure if I should take the risk or should I just get a 2GB card instead... :?

It is OK to take the risk, as long as you research if you can return it and get a refund if all does not go well.
I've been using a TOPRAM 4GB 150x SD Card in my Jasjar for 3 days now. I have not encounted any problems.

Have you test saving pictures and movies on to this TOP RAM 4GB SD card?? pictures taken from camera application I mean..
If you have done that and no problems arise, then it's the SD card brand issue. which means Transcends SD card don't work as well as Topram don HTC Universal

Yes I just set Camera to save to Storage Card, took a couple of 2MB pictures - saved as 208K, and a short Video.
They were saved in \Storage Card\my documents\My Pictures and in \Storage Card\my documents\My Videos respectively.
Uploaded them to PC via Active$tink, and viewed them. No Problems.
So the TOPRAM 4GB 150x SD Card is OK on my iMate Jasjar.
Any other tests required?
P.S. I bought this on ebay with a free bundled USB 2.0 SD Card Reader that also works with this 4GB SD Card...

Yes that sound like it has a bearing... According to the discussion on http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37544&highlight=4gb+sd. If you have more than 2GB of free space on your SD Card, then the camera app will not work. I think that you will have the same problem with your 4GB SD Card as others brands 4GB SD Card.
I don't know if this has been said yet, but I think I might know what's causing the trouble.
2GB = 2.048MB = 2.097.152 KB = 2.147.483.648 Bytes
A DWORD (32-bit number, used in loads of windows apps) can handle up to
2^32 = 4.294.967.296, which SHOULD be enough
However, if the number is treated as signed (means it can be positive and negative), one of the bits is used to keep track of the sign, and thus the maximum becomes:
2^31 = 2.147.483.648
If you go over that, the number will be negative.
What I think that's happening is that the camera app calls something to get the free space, gets a DWORD, treats it signed, and thus if you have more than 2GB free, it thinks it's a negative number and will thus not allow you to shoot more pictures
The fix is simple: Get more than 4GB and the sign will probably change to positive again Downside, once have less than 4GB but more than 2GB free it'll show the same symptons
Just kidding
Anyway, as I see it, there might be two fixes:
- An app that keeps a file on your card, and keeps it at a size so that you have just under 2GB free.
- A patch for the camera to either fix the signed-ness, or hook into the API and return 1.99GB if the free size exceeds that.
Unfortunately, I don't have a 4GB Card *yet*, so I can't look into it
I'll see if I can somehow fake a filesystem with more than 2GB free, else you'll have to look at vijay55 or someone else nicely
I might buy a 4GB card, but then again, I might decide not to because of these compatibility issues :/

Might want to read my post just one before yours
I highly doubt it's a problem with Transcend as other apps and the OS itself works perfectly with it, I think it's the fact that it crosses the 2GB boundary of free space and thus the Camera ****s up
How about partioning the SD? If you partioned it to half the size of the the 4GB you would have 2 2GB parts minus the space you always loose on SD cards...
Hmm I saw that was also mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=214020#214020
Hi All,
Just to let you know. I bought the Transcend 4GB 150x SD Card today for my O2 Exec phone. As expected everything works except the camera app if you store photo/videos to storage card when you have more than 2GB of data free. I have therefore put over 2GB of files on the card leaving only 1.8GB free at the moment and heh presto the camera app works. (as everyone has been saying!).
Well I'm chuffed I have a working 4GB SD Card now!
Only issue is the SD Card access seems to be slow. This seems to be the case for any SD Card I use in my O2 Exec (512MB, 1GB 60x, 4GB 150x). Anyway of speeding things up? Registry hack??? Pocket Mechanic states that it's only 0.16mb/s!
Also another issue was the card is not recognised by my laptops built-in SD Card reader! Luckily I have a external one which worked ok! Anyone know how to solve my SD Card Reader issue? I've emailed Benq tech support hoping they have a new driver or something like that. But no reply yet.
RE
Hi makuk,
Which Pocket Mechanic version are you using on your EXEC? Is it Wm5 compatible?
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.

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.

2gb SDCard...
Hi!
I'm currently using a 2gb SanDisk SD Card, everything works great. Oddly enough, I cannot find a card reader to connect to my PC that can read them!?!? I'm still using 2003SE and transfer movies and MP3's to the phone by using the painful multi-hour process of Exploring via ActiveSync. Uggh! This is fixed in ActiveSync 4.1 but ONLY if you are running WM5... Just having 2003SE and 4.1 will still be totally laggy for file copy.
Enjoy!

Hi! Do you have a brand name or model number of the card reader you mentioned so I can search for it on the Internet? So far I've purchased 2 different readers and neither can speak "2gb" :shock: The one I can use for 1gb cards but not 2gb cards is Belkin F5U248 rev.2, so I know that one wont work!
Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know what speed the BA supports for its SD cards?
The transfer speed is limited by the SD card type
The transfer speed should be contained within the card specification sheet
As I understand it, the maximum transfer speed is 22.5MB per second
This is for a 133X SD card, so compare accordingly
thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure that there wasnt a limit on the SDIO bus on the BA.
I'm planning to buy a 2gb Sandisk, but i'm not too sure whether the ultra version will work, as the compatibility list on their website only shows the standard. So i might just get the standard one to be on the safe side.
I currently use 4Gb SD card! I had only hard time finding flash card reader for my PC, which can read such a big card
I believe PPC devices has no problem with big SD cards. At least my Mio 168 PPC with GPS (PPC 2003) understand 4G card too.
But I do not believe flash manufacturers X rating. I NEVER seen real speed more than 3 Mb/s on any type of device. My card have rating x133 (22.5Mb/s). And I have no idea on what device and how did they measure that speed?
From the 2g->4gb reports it sounds like sd card size is not so much an issue for the BA, more for the SD->USB adaptor.
I have the same awful USB activesync file transfer rates reported on this thread, despite running WM5, so it sounds like my current adaptor might need upgrading.
Anyway, thanks for helping out, and I now have a 2gb 133x SD on order for next week ;-)
The typical transfer rate is 2MBps
Quotes like 133X and 150X are NOT a multiple of this but the coefficient comparison between the read and write speed
As an example for a 2MB SD card
Uploading 2MB data takes 1 second
Reading data, for that same setup, takes 1 second
For the 133X the write speed is the same, but the read time is 0.4 seconds and for the 150X card it is 0.33 seconds
This also assumes the SD interface meets SDIO v1.01
If not then the 133X and 150X cards take the same time to read as the standard card

Well, I am trying to upgrade the storage, and trying to buy 4GB SD Card...
I have seen a lot of

"Transcend 4GB SD Cards" on Amazon, and
trying to buy either one of them.. but I am wondering,

-Which would be a better choice?

4gb card
i have a topram 4gb card 150x and all is working ok on my xda 2s with tomtom 6 and mp3s, movies
4GB
I bought a D-Tec 120x 4GB SD Card, had a bit of doubt as I have never heard of D-Tec.
However, I received it today, and so far it works fine! It recognises as 4GB.
To clarify this a bit more for people -
There are two types of SD cards right now:
SD (1.1)
SDHC (2.0 - HC stands for high capacity). A good primer on the changes can be found here: http://www.sandisk.com/sdhc/SDHC.pdf
Basically, what you need to know - any card that is regular 1.1 (8mb -4GB) will work in the BA. Any card that is 2.0/SDHC (4gb -32gb) will NOT work, as 2.0 is NOT backwards compatible.
The problem here, as you may notice, is that some 4GB cards are teh 1.0 version, and some are the 2.0. If you are not careful, you may buy the wrong card, and end up with something you can't use.
Now, it is possible that some SD devices can only address values smaller than 4.0GB. But, assuming the device is FULLY 1.1 compliant, a 4.0 1.1 card should work just great.
Here is an example of the differences -
This is a 1.1 card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820183017
This is a 2.0 card:

Yes, very good card. Works perfectly. Good warranty and 100% functional. No blemishes. Its only the ROM that shows it as 2GB but you can hold 4GB of data on it. The camera only writes images to the card if there is some data on the card first. My Universal also recognises 8GB SD cards from Samsung which are also amazing. I can watch DVD's on my Universal with the 8GB card, all i do is copy everything from the 4.7GB DVD and paste it in the 8GB card and pop it into the Universal and use some DVD video player i have,,, i think it was tcmp. Amazing quality and sound on headphones and speakers.
In 4GB as you mentioned these Q memory cards are really awesome. Another good one would be 4GB SanDisk Extreme 3 which is very fast. 4GB in mini-SD also works on the Universal.
I prefer 8GB SD from Samsung the most. It can be purchased for less than $200 in Shanghai and HongKong and most of Japan.
By the way please take note that Samsung and Sony are collaborating to make a 32GB card... i dont know if it was SD or what. Anyways keep looking and you will find interesting things every day.

I can watch DVD's on my Universal with the 8GB card, all i do is copy everything from the 4.7GB DVD and paste it in the 8GB card and pop it into the Universal and use some DVD video player i have,,, i think it was tcmp. Amazing quality and sound on headphones and speakers.
In 4GB as you mentioned these Q memory cards are really awesome. Another good one would be 4GB SanDisk Extreme 3 which is very fast. 4GB in mini-SD also works on the Universal.
I prefer 8GB SD from Samsung the most. It can be purchased for less than $200 in Shanghai and HongKong and most of Japan.
By the way please take note that Samsung and Sony are collaborating to make a 32GB card... i dont know if it was SD or what. Anyways keep looking and you will find interesting things every day.

I got my SanDisk Extreme 3 4GB SD card for $80. A very good price because 2GB SanDisk Extreme 3 from Sandisk's website costs $100-120 or something and some places $200. mini-SD at 4GB is $170 or something.
8GB Samsung price won't fall buddy. It will remain above $200. It is unique and rare item and not available in stores. Only available in Shanghai, HongKong and Japan. Place your special order from eBay or any other website, you wont regret it.
I regret one fact that I came to North America and this small continent is isolated from the rest of the world in terms of development, technology, society and economy. Asian and european countries have the best in technology and we always got to get stuff shipped from there. Infact stats from Unicef show that Canadian and American economies will rapidly fall compared to the rest of the G8 countries.
WoW!!! The Q Memory 4GB SD Card works well with Helmi's AKU 3.5. The camera application works and stores the pictures directly to the card.

>.< Didnt i already tell you that. Anyways i dont like keeping many cards and swapping them all the time. Right now i have 4 cards adding up to 16GB of memory... grr i wish i could have done that with 2 x 8GB. I was concentrating on getting mini-SD cards and forgot about the 8GB SD cards. I have 2 x 2GB mini-SD, 1 x 4GB SD and 1 x 8GB SD. I wonder if there is any other type of memory that can be used with an SD card adapter. Micro-SD is way too expensive and not required.

Just get them from ebay. Search on ebay for "8GB SD" or call Samsung and ask them. Pictures dont mean a lot. And you wont be able to find it in 90% of stores in democratic countries because the price is inflated 100 times the original price. Probably like $500 in US.
