Apologies first of all if im posting in the wrong place,
I have a o2 xda orbit and would like to upgrade (for want of a better word ) some of the phones features.
firstly I know nothing about upgrading or changing the phones operating systems all technical terms are new to me, so please feel free when offering any advice or help, to speak to me as you would speak to a small child, step by step idiot proof instructions would help
I would like to do the following to the phone
1. I would like to use 4gb micro sd card within the phone I believe the phone at present can only use a maxium of a 2 gb card
2. I have seen o2 xda orbits running Touch Flow, if possible I would like to install this on my phone.
I have read through the forums and have noticed many topics on other brands of phone Wallaby, Blue Angel, Himalyas etc, but cant find too many topics on the o2 xda orbit, does this phone go by another name ??
If anyone can offer any advice or point me in the correct direction in relation to what I want to do, I would appreciate it
many thanks

Is possible to inform me some if it is possible to use a 4 GB SD card in my PDA without any problem?
If its running WM6 as the OS then SDHC cards will work 4GB, 6GB and 8GB - Mike

That's not right.
You need bepe's fix or a ROM with bepe's fix in order to make the SDHC work.
You didn't search for the answer, so I'm going to tell you something you can search for in this forum.
There's a .cab (WM installation) file which you can use to make SDHC work on your device.
I am sorry you think that I am wrong, However, I can assure you I do have a HTC as supplied ROM running WM6 it is not a "Bepe" sepcial not did I have to install the CAB file it simply works ROM is 3,13,405,1 WWE dated 08/28/07 - Mike
Don't give information that has 0,00001% chance to work.
Just read the older SDHC topics in this forum.
e.g.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310456&highlight=sdhc

Some people say they got a non-standard 4 GB non-micro-SDHC card. If it's NOT a SDHC card it will work in WM5 and WM6 regardless of any SDHC patch. Since you didn't say anything about that your information about your pda is probably true. Most people will buy SDHC cards (without knowing what that means) and therefore TryOG is right.
here ya go.
No need to start arguements and discussions over something when all they asked was for a bit of help. We were all quite new once, and sometimes forgot / neglected to use / or didnt know about the search feature.
So, whats the max capacity for a SDHC card for use in the Artemis? I've seen some on www.mymemory.co.uk which go up to 16gig! ! !
fubofo = PM me an email addy that you have linked to Paypal (if you use Paypal!) and I will buy you a couple pints as promised.
very thank you
i bought a 4 gb micro cd this morning but it's doesn´t work ,after apply the cab every fine.
i have a artemis with wm6
thena for the help.
long life to the forum
Just for information: I set up balck and blue 5 on my spv m650 and kingston 4GB sdhc works fine, without any modifications.
I used to frequent this forum a lot a few years ago when I had an O2 XDA II. It was great, lot's of helpful friendly people and a lot of fun too as we tried different things with ROM's etc.
Last couple of years though I moved to a Blackberry which was issued as part of my kit when I changed jobs. No PPC so I didn't view the forum for a long time.
Last month however I changed jobs again, handed in the Blackberry and bought myself a Dopod P800W returning to the PPC platform.
Thought I also return to the old haunt, ask a few questions and learn a bit more about the Dopod unit and what has happened in the filed of PPC's while I was away.
Well folks I can tell you the forum has changed. In reviewing the posts I was amazed at the number of times people answer a simple question with a somewhat aggressive response of "you haven't searched the forum!" type comment.
I posted some questions about my Dopod and though over 60 people read it, no one, not one person offered an answer.
So my advice is lighten up a bit and enjoy the interaction of sharing with people. We can all use a hand every now and then, who knows you may even make some friends.
It Works for me !!!
i faced the same issue of 4 GB card not getting recognized in my new P3300 (whereas the seller told me that it supports 4 GB). Anyways thanks a millon tons !!! for the cab. My P3300 now is recognizing the micro SDHC card. And yes , i am using Sandisk MicroSDHC card.
4GB Card
Hi .. I have a P3300 with WM5. Will this accept a 4GB SDHC card ? i tried the patch spoken about earlier, but i guess its only for WM6. I lost access to my Storage Card completely ...... even the old one

I'm using 8gb on my orbit so no problem at all
one of my senoir in office using o2 XDA with WM6 and have tried using this SDHC thing but could not make it work.. i think its not just OS dependent, it also depends on the ppc hardware. whether the mobile slot supports that or not matters i guess
Agree, mate...
Thanks for the link....

I agree mate, its changed a lot since the good old days and whilst collectively there is a lot more help out here many of the people feel its below them or something, i think the problem is two fold, firstly free loaders that take everything and offer nothing, like not even responding to your question, secondly there are so many more people on here now i think its became to big which is partly why people just say search the forums, i think its a shame its got this way but as they say, evolution doesnt always equal positive progress.

i have an O2 Orbit Running WM 6.1 with an 8GB class 4 Micro SD card and it works fine, no probs bob.
I have just had my stolen touch cruise (TC) replaced with this diamond ;(
I had Bepes ROM and PhamQuangs ROMS they were brilliant. The reason being they sped up the TC. I need/would like to do the same to the Diamond. Could anyone recommend the Fastest, Cleanest ROM? I am happy to install programs as and when I want them. It seems the more programs the slower it is. Seeming as this ppc has no external SD card we need to be really conservative!
I look forward to hearing thoughts on peoples experiences.......
Kind Regards,
Will

No "We" do not not need to be conservative at all. Just treat the \Internal Storage folder in exactly the same way as you would treat an SD card on a device that has one. Or to think of it another way. Just imagine your Diamond is your old device but it has had the SD card glued into it. No need to be conservative.
Also I suspect this thread will get killed too. Please look at the Read this before you Post message at the top of this forum.

Before it does get killed I disagree with the above largely because I had a 8gb micro sd card and was very excited about the 32 one coming out. I am unable to use my diamond as a great music machine which the tc was. once pointed out to apple enthusiasts the capabilities of the tc were then they were in awe of the htc engineering. Don't get me wrong this phone is phenomenal but it does not have the large storage.

Please, do not discuss things we discussed when the diamond came out, ok?
If really want to put in a SD Card, choose the Diamond Pro. Thats all...
this thread is pointless......
just like a broken pencil
hope the mods trash this soon.
only way to find out whats best for you is to start flashing.

Thats totally fine, cant argue with that. Maybe "You need to be really conservative" - "We" do not. I have more than enough space on my Diamond for my needs. I thought perhaps you were getting confused about how the memory is set up and how filling the \Internal Storage will not effect its speed.
Try an AZTOR rom. Fast, No added extras and reportably no Mp3 lag so would be good choce for Music. New version due any day reportedly.
Re the bloke in the frock. Discuss what you like, as long as it is within the forum rules. He/She does not have to read it.
Same applies to the chap with the pencil.
Time to change my Sig I think.
sorry - I should know better...........
thread closed
Thread closed,
We have so many of these threads in the past, best way to flash each rom you think you would like and choose which works for u better
Hi
i have been reading contradictory statements about the max SD card capacity that can be used with an Excalibur reflashed with Kavana 6.1.
I would love to be able to use a 16GB Micro-SD card to be able to have Wikipedia in two languages and some decent music library, would it do?

And making a new thread does not help the situation just adds more to that pile of search results, i know the search options on XDA are not perfect but if you really want to know you will find it

You appear to be rude for beginners with Kavana 6.1
Obviously it is quite easy to find out that only WM6.1 software is able to handle SDHC.
This does not however make it sure that the Excalibur hardware can cope with it as well.
As i wrote, i did search and found a lot of contradictory stuff.
But i am happy to acknowledge that it works, and i can buy a 16GB SDHC card in confidence.

I wasn't trying to be rude, but honest, like Stylez said before, the more threads made about the same topic , the bigger pile of them the newbs will have to go thru, only to end up making a new thread with the same topic 'cause from their not being sure what they read is accurate.
I tend to be this way 'cause when I was a new guy and to this day, I keep my threads to a minimum, I prefer to revive old threads with the topic in question than make a new one.

Okay I have been using these forums for a long quite some time but just decided to register because I couldn't find an answer to this. What is the best 16gb SD card I can get for my incredible if you find a link to a thread that I overlooked or if you have any words of wisdom I would appreciate it thank you.

The best sdcards will be brand name ie kingston, sandisk, pny, and the higher the class of the card ie class 10 the better and faster it will be. So look for a brand name class 10 micro sdcard, and you will have the best.
