any microsd cards not recommended for artemis?

Knowing my luck I would order a microsd card that just happens to be the only one that wont work on the artemis. Anyone know if the sandisk, or transflash are incompatible. Or know of any others that are incompatible?

I've got a 2gb Sandisk card coming for mine tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

Toshiba 1 gig seems ok in mine

I have used a 2gb sandisk for about 3 weeks with no problems. A 1gb toshiba card worked as well.
I recommend the 2GB card for maps...

What a stupid idea to put the card under the SIM and battery. It drives me crazy. And yes, I do all transfers trough the card reader. I do not have neither patience nor desire to watch the activesync processing bar for the hours:-(

I used the sandisc 1GB for very short while with no problem.
Now I have Sandisc 2GB UltraII and everything goes great !(knock the wood)
It's pity that we still do not have 4GB microSD.....well maybe 2007 brings us some news in this direction, but at that moment it will be probably the time to sell Artemis and get a new toy

8GB SDHC on Jasjar???

hi I've had a look on the forum and I think the issue may be new - not discussed before. I seem to have some spare cash and wanted to buy a 8GB SDHC for my XDA Exec/Jasjar . However I haven't found any indication on the feasibility of this . anyone had any experiences positive or even negative ??
I'd be prepared to flash a different firmware to the device if that were to help matters.
thanks

Hmm it would be awesome to get SDHC cards working in Jasjar. Truly i havent tried SDHC cards in the jasjar but i speculate it wont work. Good luck

Someone posted 8GB cards are not working only 4GB so far

true! Transcend 8GB isn't working
i've tried it myself.

I can confirm that SDHC doesn't appear to work (out of the box) in the Universal. It just doesn't recognise there's a card present at all.
I am still investigating formatting the device in a different way (as discussed in other postings on this site) but i'm not terribly hopeful.

Try it on wm6

well , I bought an 8gb a-data v2 sdhc and it currently does not work . thing is , none of my memory card readers read it either . I'll have to get a reader that sees it to be able to say it's "broken" or not .
thanks for your input - if anyone else has anything to add it'd be nice

Well, maybe it is a late answer, but I did buy a 4GB SDHC card, actually I didn't know it is SDHC till I arrived home!).
Anyways, it didn't work on my JasJar nor on my laptop. I solved the issue for the laptop by downloading a fix that will enable WinXP to read SDHC cards (the whole matter is software based by the way, hardware is the same).
As for JasJar, it only recognize the card if you go to the 'About' icon in 'Settings' it will tell you that the expansion slot is in use - other than that the card does not exist!
Anyone got any updates?
cheers ...

hello fahapro ,
since then I have upgraded the firmware on the xda exec to one of the latest winmobile 6 incarnations as they have released various patches for sdhc use.
have a look at the stickies here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=357
usually the first page of each firmware mentions sdhc compatibility.
currently using my 8GB sdhc I was talking about previously

So the SDHC patches don't work on WM5?
I'm waiting for a definitive answer about the patches; and do they work with WM5. Some say they do; some they won't? And from what you described it's a software problem and not hardware issue which has already been discussed. So now I'm more confused than I was before LOL.

My 8gb transcend sdhc class 6 card is seen only as a 4gb with sdhc.cab in wm5.
In wm6 works fine.

Hi again,
Yesterday I found this article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339526&goto=newpost it is about a newly released WM6 ROM, didn't try it yet, but, from the comments posted I guess it works with SDHC ...
As for WM5 I do not know of any patches for SDHC, I gave up WM5 long time ago

8 G memory card working on JASJAR
I am using Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.04 version on my JASJAR and its working charm for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339526&highlight=jasjar+wm6

Not quite definitive, but getting better...

So then it might be worth it to buy the 8GIG and either wait for a specific patch for WM5 or just go ahead and upgrade to WM6.

I suggest that you go for WM6.
Unless u use Video Calling, everything is better with WM6 ...

Install Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.08 WWE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352203).
It has many better features. AND, the SDHC fix works well with it ...

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?

Welcome to XDA-Developers.

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 ;-(

I think that's the problem... The stock T-Mo ROM won't recognize higher capacity cards. You can try flashing (installing) the HTC 1.33 ROM or Kavana's/rickwyatt's 6.1 ROMs to enable usage of a larger card.

2 Gig is not a SDHC amount, the T-Mo Rom Should accept it.
Can you put the card in an adapter and access it from your PC?
(To Make sure the card is not corrupt?)

yeh i have a couple files on it that i put on it just so there was something on the card. so i know the 2gig card isnt bad.

Try this first before you put on a new ROM (although you really should put on a new ROM):

I know WM6 should work with 2GB from the start. I've sometimes heard that the brand of card could be the culprit. Which brand are you using?

It is *supposed* to enable SDHC support (cards that are larger than 2GB). I never had the issue as I went with a non-Tmobile ROM (SDHC support is enabled in the non-Tmobile 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs by default) from the get-go. It might not have any effect on the threadstarter's problem, but it's something simple to try just in case.
Honestly, it's probably an off-brand card that the threadstarter is trying to use (that would be my guess), but you never know. It could just be a bug in the OS... Maybe the card is formatted wrong...maybe his Dash is having hardware issues...it could be any number of things (just like with desktop computers - this is a computer after all).

try formatting the card, sometimes the companies place files on the card to be read for certain devices. Formatting the card might work for you.

its a pny card...im going to try installing a new ROM and see what happens. i know the card works...it was flawlessly in my friends blackberry pearl.

PNY cards are horrible, more trouble then they are worth. Toshiba makes these cards primarly for Cameras, so putting them in other devices (smartphones) have unpredictable results. Stick with SanDisk, they cost more but are worth it.

Let us know what happens. And thanks for the tip Bupahs! I know I have been eyeing some PNY SDHC cards for costs reasons, and have been curious if anything would work with WM6.1 ... (hence one of the threads I started here on micro sd's )

I picked up a 4GB SanDisk microSD card on Amazon for something like $22 shipped. Are PNY cards that much cheaper?
