I found one on eBay for £96.00 + £4.00 p&p.
150X 8GB OEM SAMSUNG SECURE DIGITAL SD CARD 8 GB G NEW
Looks good.
Gonna test that on Universalinux too?
wonder if it will work in a prophet (JAMin)
RE
If your PDA do not have a SDHC slot then PRETEC card is not backward compatible

"SDHC cards are recognized by new SDHC host devices differently than standard SD cards and are not backward compatible with legacy SD format host devices. "
Bad luck!!
What IS SDHC compatible?
I was gonna ask that one, so i will ask it anyway!
What is SDHC?
Never mind, i found this information:
http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/pdf/retail/SDHC1.pdf#search="sdhc compatible"
But now we need to know whether our Universal is SDHC compatible or not. Has anyone managed to find out if these new cards work with our PDA's?
Maximum capacity for this device: May support up to 2GB
But we know that's already true. So...
This quote is right from the article linked to by the first post here...
The maximum capacity of SD card is 2GB under SD 1.1 of Secure Digital Alliance (SDA) specification; however, by using file format of FAT32, many SD 1.1 host devices can use a 4GB SD card. SD 1.0/1.1 uses traditional "Byte Addressing" scheme which limits the maximum capacity to 4GB while SD 2.0 adopts "Sector Addressing" scheme which can reach the maximum capacity of 2TB (2048GB).

In other words, they 'cheat' to get the Universal and other SD 1.1 devices to see 4G, but that won't work with the 8G cards.

Would the Universal still not work with an 8GB SD card if that card was partitioned into 2x 4GB's? It certainly would be helpful if someone could try this? You just never know!
re
I guess no one will know for sure until someone tries it. BTW how do you partition a SD card anyways? Do you really think that could work?
hello
if SD 2.0 is the later version then would not all new 4 GB SD cards support "sector addressing" which would limit the ma. capacity to 2 GB
I have a 4gb that works in uni
I keep reading that people aren't able to use anything above a 2gb SD but I have been using a 4gb that I purchased on eBay for pver 6 months now. I used in with the original Jasjar ROM and also with JWrite's, Indra, and currently Helmi's. (not with the WM6's yet though)
It is interesting to note however that it won't work in any of my desktop or laptop systems without the included dongle. Not even the built in SD slot in my TC1100 tablet.
It says it's made by a company called "TopRam" if that helps anyone.
I also purchased an 8gb that SUPPOSEDLY supports SD 1.1 and 2.0 according to the documentation. It took a great deal of hunting to find one that didn't say it was HC and I'm still skeptical as to whether or not it will actually work, but as soon as it comes in and I have a chance to try it I will post the results here if anyone is interested.
I know there are one or two people here who make claims of such things, but if there are any doubters I will take some screenshots of the storage card memory screen if I need to.
SDHC uses a different software for the controller. The hardware is exactly the same. The point I'm trying to make, is that the SD people went to very radical lengths to ensure that there is no compatibility betweens SD and SDHC. They also have two different kinds of memory addressing. Bottom line, you can't use SDHC. Your device must say SDHC, and AFAIK, no PDA is SDHC compatible. With all of that said, I'm a Scoter owner, and we have valid reports of being able to access SDHC cards from a PC, through my device. It may be possible to create drivers for the SD controller, or create some kind of emulator, but that is a long way off. I've seen similar threads about those asking about 4 GB and 8 GB. Unfortunetly most don't understand the difference between SD and SDHC. SD is capable of 4 GB. SDHC starts at 2 GB and has potential in the terrabyte range. In addition, many of the real cheap 4 GB SD cards don't strictly adhere to SD standards, and may work on some reader designs, and not on others. A perfect example is that I bought a 4 GB SD card, that only works on one card reader, but not my PC reader or PDA.

SDHC Patch
I just read on a forum for Palm Treo that they have a working patch for the Treo which forms compatibility of SDHC on the Treo.
Now perhaps we can take a lesson from them and see what changes where needed to make it work. Besides, you can't tell me that there are more people working of patches for the PalmOS than WM.
well , the sdhc 8gb does not work on my xda exec-universal. so I just bought a 4gbcard "MyMemory 4GB 133X SD" from ebay that is stated as being compatible 21.94 pounds.
I'll just use my sdhc 8gb as an expensive mem stick in my sweex sdhc reader .
got it
So I received my 8gb (supposedly NON SDHC) and as expected, it won't read in my Jasjar. I am going to try and reformat it into 2 or 4gb partitions to see if that will work but I am going guess and say no. It is already in fat32 but it doesn't recognize the card at all in the PDA. Just to make sure it was in fact a full 8gb (7.6gb actually) I copied a handfull of movies (7gb) to it and then ran them on another laptop and it is in fact a good card.
I can't repartition it in XP since it sees it as a removable disk, so as soon as I get my Linux laptop back up and running, I will repartition it there and see what happens. I don't expect much though.

Could you, please, try AKU 3.5 ROM (Helmi 1.3.1 or Ivan B2)?
Because this ROM comes from device which support SDHC.
There were reports also, that Triniti with last Dopod ROM (AKU 3.5)
support Mini SDHC 4GB (maximum for mini SD now).
BTW tell us which ROM you are tryinng.
why not
If someone will send me the link to the rom files, I'll be glad to. I just don't have a lot of time right now to search the ftp site.
Two questions about Helmi's 1.3.1, first, will it support my bluetooth stereo headset like the pdaviet 207 I'm using now does? and second, I don't suppose any of these new roms has the new timechange fix already applied do they? I just don't want to keep reflashing my Jasjar and still having to apply all the reg fixes etc to correct for the new timezone/dst changes.
Guess nobody was in a hurry for me to test using the other ROMs as I have had no PM's with info as to where I can find the ROMS now that they are no longer on the ftp server here.
I find my copy of Helmi's aku3.5 1.3 and tried it with the 8gb (non-sdhc) card with no luck. I assumed as much. Not quite sure where you heard that it had SDHC support but I guess it doesn't.
I had the PDAVIET 2.0.0.0.7 or whatever the latest incarnation was and that didn't work either. I now have Helmi's WM6 1.1 that I put on last night and that one also doesn't work.
I'm sure we have some developers out there who know palm and ppc hardware who can take a look at the "fix" that was created for the Treo which allows SDHC use. I can "open" the prc file but I don't know enough about what I'm looking at to be helpful.
Not sure why this fix is so slow coming. Perhaps not enough people see the need for 8gb cards. I have a 4gb but I have to continue taking off stuff in order to put anything else on because it's always full.
Hello,
I am a new Blue Angel user (bought it used) and so excited to get the best out of it.
Well, I am trying to upgrade the storage, and trying to buy 4GB SD Card...
I have seen a lot of
"Dane Elect 4GB SD Cards" on Ebay and
"Transcend 4GB SD Cards" on Amazon, and
trying to buy either one of them.. but I am wondering,
-Are they both compatible? and..
-Which would be a better choice?
Your replies much appreciated.
Best regards,
J.

4GB SD Cards are compatible with Blu Angel?
I read that 2GB is the max value...
hmm
Yeah, after searching through the forum, found out that BA takes 4GB...

Can you write your experience? have you use a 4GB SD card on Blu Angel?
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:

This is a 2.0 card:

Hi everyone, has anybody tried the 4GB high capacity micro SD card on the Hermes 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!
Already answered HERE
Maybe a better question.....
Where can you buy retail 4gb micro SDHC cards? I can't even see them posted on Sandisk's site? I only see them listed on Ebay.
www.newegg.com?

I have one question, not on original rom but on the Micro SDHC supproted any cooked ROM will support 16 GB or NOT?
Tell me if anybody knows,
If yes i want to buy it......
I know 8 GB is supported in Artemis SDHC supported ROMs,
I own 4 GB now...
It supports SDHC or not, you can always partition your SD.

Carty..
but i have micro sd card slot not a sd card slot

I hope you understand it now
If your device supports SD2.0 (SDHC) then it will take any MicroSDHC size up to 32GB. Hope that helps

That's the que I m asking that in the factory made original ROM this Artemis dont support more than 2gb, but after an upgrade by a little software or any sdhc supported ROM it's supporting upto 8 gb. So, as Htc says its not SD2.0 compatible.
So after that also(after upgrading) will it support 16 GB.
That's my que.
Does microSDHC faster in real word ?
Such as record VDO, Take a picture, activesync...
I thought I answered your question. Any device that takes a SDHC card WILL take anything up to 32GB MicroSDHC.
you said you have 4gb card, it is SDHC, so you can put the 16gb card, you can also put a 32gb if you can find one.
Thanks man
so my artemis will support 32 GB
fantastic
where did you found the 16gb card?
I made a search and not found to buy one.
idk if it helps any1, but i have 16GB kingston in my artemis, rom is touch vanilla 4.0.2
it reads it well, i use it for music and all that, but sometimes it freakingly losing it, totally =( i have to soft-reset my device to death, like dozens of times to get my sd back. that's A problem, and idk what to do w/ it. trying to find a solution.
in a meanwhile setting up touch full with cube 4.0.2.

This would be a nice addition for our Galaxy S II

Does the SGSII support micro SDXC? I've read conflicting reports.
Nope, it only supports SDHC, not SDXC.
Any SD card over 32GB is an SDXC card. Which the SGS2 is not compatible with.
yea as far as i've read, sgs2 supports only up to 32gb sdcards.
why would u need such a cards.. 32g is more then enough, especially if u own 32gb version of device..
To each his own. I filled up my 16gb sdcard with music and podcasts...need more space

Very silly question. if i had a 500gb microsd i could still fill it with ease.
Can 64GB sdcard put in Galaxy S2?
This is why there will be SGS 3
too bad it cnat read SDXC my 32 gb sdhc is almsot full after 2 days
why not? afaik, the hardware should be able to read it, just at lower speeds (as even a "SD 1.0" reader is able to read SDXC, you just need the drivers...), and android supports eXfat, too.... so it SHOULD support it.... but not quite sure about that.... greets
Sgs2 can only support up to 32gb max (microsd) ,so who cares about this crap
And tell me how you're going to install drivers on your phone... sigh

its nice to have a 64gb microSD SDXC .. the SDXC can be upgraded upto 2TB within 5~10years .. just imagine a phone with 2TB microSD

I think there's a lot of regurgitating of essentially "what the box says" in this thread. You are correct, the hardware interface of SDHC and SDXC is exactly the same, so our hardware completely supports these new cards. The question is in software, which is hard to tell from what I've read. Wikipedia has this little gem to say:
"Other operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem."
Since Android does support exFAT as you point out, it seems fairly plausible that these new cards would work in the GSII.

Early micro SDHC devices only officially supported up to 16gb cards, but could read 32gb cards. So what it "supports" isn't clear, since drivers may not be needed at all.

I've always been amongst the first to adopt higher storage micro SD cards (ever since the 4GB ones came out). At every step the official specs for phones only said compatible up to the previous highest storage amount, and yet they worked. This is a different standard, so higher chance it won't work, but nevertheless there is a chance they may work.
