Hi guys,
I need to get a bigger microsd card, but i would very much like to buy (and use) the new sandisk 4gb micro SDHC. I read in another thread that it might work after WM6 upgrade...
i've also read this press release stating that new drivers are available also for the omap850...
Can someone confirm wether or not a 4gb micro SDHC works after the WM6 upgrade?
thanks!
no, wont work. there is different sd-reader HW. You are asking questions like if i can play DVDs on my CDplayer after firmware upgrade. NO IT WONT.

I don't think you've read the pages i linked to. The first is a thread here on xda-dev. where someone tells us that the upgrade to WM6 brought sdhc to the trinity... so that would tell us it is not a hardware thing.
the second link tells us about a softwarestack to bring sdhc to (among others) Omap850 ... so that's why i would like to know if someone that has actual hands on experience with the combination WM6 & sdhc cards could tell us if it works, instead of someone just bloating without looking.

Regarding Trinity: The Software upgrade also brought GPS to Trinity. So GPS is only a software thing??
I guess Trinity has already SDHC compatible HW chip inside, just the SDHC drivers were missing.

Well, and why do you think Artemis has no SDHC compatible chip inside? Are you an insider? Recall please,
HTC has not ever declared the fact that Trinity has got SDHC compatible chip inside, either. Moreover, Trinity can not work yet with SDHC cards running officially issued ROMs installed.
as far as i understand, they are speaking about drivers for CPU beccause as i know OMAP, Marvele.... are CPU's. So it means that those drivers will be able to communicate with CPUs mentioned in that article and SDHC hw. Still we are on the same point, if U have cd player it wont read DVDs. Other thing is if Trinity has SDHC hw. but i dont believe so. It will be unreasonable expensive for htc to built it. You can argue that Ericcsson T10 and T18 were the same except for active flip and vibrations, but the reasson then, was in amount t10 and t18 sold(or expected) and price of changing or making another line. I could believe it in case that htc already presented Arte lookalike with SDHC supp. but in this case i simply dont. BTW as i remember, Trinity was presented in betas with GPS, and when it was launched it was widely known that it has GPS chip+antena, but they launch it without drivers because there were some troubles with comm between drivers and chip and OS, and it will be too expensive to delay launch of trinity even if it was w/o GPS
esackbauer: in this case was GPS only SW prob. (btw i like beer too)
nemo8: do you think that if you can enable SDHC only by new drivers, here will be numbers of those drivers in beta versions for downld?With 10-50%functionality? For ex. at least using those drvrs u would be able to read directory tree? i believe that yes.
HTC has not ever declared the fact that Trinity has got SDHC compatible chip inside, either. - i dont have trinity but can U give me link where u found out that it has SDHC hw? DOes it have SDHC supp on cooked ROMS?
From wikipedia:
A new SD format, SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity), allows capacities in excess of 2GB (4GB to 32GB)[10]. SDHC uses the FAT32 file system which supports the higher capacity instead of FAT16[11]. It uses the same form factor as SD, but the SD 2.0 standard in SDHC uses a different memory addressing method (sector addressing vs byte addressing[12]). SDHC cards only work in SDHC compatible devices, but standard SD cards work in both SD and SDHC devices. The SDHC trademark is licensed to ensure compatibility.[13]

All changes are in logical access. According to this, driver change could allow to use SDHC card in devices.
DOes it have SDHC supp on cooked ROMS?[/QUOTE]
Yes, it does have SDHC support on WM6 ROMs cooked by two talented ROM-creators, whoose nick-names are mun and lvsw. I have seen it with my own eyes(it worked successfully with 4G miniSDHC). And therefore I hope p3300 also would be able to support this card format running WM6 OS. The new driver might have been included into officially issued WM6 ROM. We just need someone to check that.

Marvellous! In that case I would have to try it out on my XDA Orbit then. Just waiting for the 4GB SDHC to arrive. FIngers crossed.
OK then i appologise, it will be perfect to have sdhc supp on artemis (if u check size of W-Euro map for tomtom - some 850mb) it will be marvelous. I never heard of making sd devices working with sdhc, but if you've seen trinity working with SDHC i simply believu You. btw i think trinit was released before arte(month or two) so there is a chance to have same sd hw. Sorry again, that i didnt believe it.

Maybe we need some (cooked) drivers? i believe that was necessery for the p3600 as well??
thanks for giving it a try though!
Has anyone tried the official HTC ROM and tried using the 4GB MicroSDHC card?
i ve got the XDA orbit with the HTC WM6 ROM installed and the 4 gig SDHC CARD DOESNT WORK
;(
That friggin sucks!
Just find this driver : SDIO Hx version 1.1

Thx for info geezer78
I was on the fence about buying the 3600 when I read of many people having problems with the screens going out, system slowing down when touching the screen, and the metal peeling, slow performance, ect. I didn't realize that there was a new one, 3600i. Has anyone had any similar issues with it? How is it compared to the 3600 as far as reliability? I believe this would be my perfect device if it just supported SDHC.

The P3600i does support SDHC, at least to 4Gb. Can't test higher capacity mini-SDHC cards yet, not available here.
Oh, BTW, the Quick Fix GPS cab file does work, despite the "placebo" sceptics. Tested exhaustively now for 4 weeks. It downloads ephemeris data from http://www.htcusainc.com/clm as packedEphemeris.ee for NMEA mode. This is exactly, precisely, the same data file for SirfIII GPS in NMEA mode.
TTFF is now 30-60 seconds. Before, 5-10 mins, about which I had justifiable criticism.
Regional setting HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\region
needs to be correct. I'm using AU for obvious reasons.
The P3600i is now in my view as close to perfection as I may wish.
ROM and RAM higher than 3600,so I think the speed will be higher and stable when run large program.for example,Map guide,etc.
Ian,
I am surprised to ear that P3600 support SDHC 4Go because i bought mine 2 weeks ago and before buying a mini SD i put the question to HTC and got this answer:
Dear Sir,
Unfortunately the HTC P3600 does not support the mini-SDHC format cards, only standard mini-SD. The maximum size you are able to use in the device is 2GB.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
So i was just prepared to buy a 2GB mini SD, can you confirm that a 4GB SDHC works on a long term basis?
About quickGPS do we have to launch it only every 7 days and nothing else than starting normaly our GPS software (tomtom)? I tried qGPS but i do not see any difference in the fixing time after starting tomtom.
My p3600 Italian version supports SDHC. I'm using a 4GB right now.
8Gb sdhc
Hi!
I using 8Gb micro sdhc card with minisd adapter, and it's work in my p3600.

There is the P3600 according to HTC and the P3600 according to XDA-Developers.
The P3600 according to HTC: WM5, no SDHC, and 4GB-Mini-SD (without HC) is not really a standard so nobody will assure compatibility.
The P3600 according to XDA: WM6, SDHC-compatible due to a new driver.
Beware: There are a lot of different flavours of WM6, as they are built by different persons, not directly by HTC. Their reliability is very different, read the threads to judge whether a built is more shiny, more stable or both.
QuickGPS does not work on the P3600, the standard rule is valid: Don't move until you get a fix. You might save up to 10 minutes.
Have fun!
Hi,Does anyone know if 838 pro supports 8G micro SD card? Thanks
yes
i have spv m3100 with vp3g 3.62.3 5.2.1622 build 18128
radio 1.54 sandisk 8GB and it is working very good
There's a load of other threads on this if you search. Answer is yes.
WB
Thank you very much . Micro sd 2 g nearly full .I have to get one
btw_: it supports up to 32gb if needed (sdhc standards...)
woah 32GB?!??!
when that becomes economical, i'll buy one and start using my hermes as a portable hard drive...if only bit torrent worked on a hermes....*grin*
It does...

WinMobile Torrent's been around for ages. I'm sure there's other clients, too.

Hi everyone, for my first post I'd like to rreport that my 8g sandisk sdhc micro sd card is working perfectly. I'd advise anyone to go for the sandisks rather than a cheap ebay knock off!
Yes...but only with some 6.0 roms and all 6.1 roms. That roms adds driver for SDHC
why does my 4gb and 8gb SDHC cards always kill themselves, but my 2gb mini SD is fine?
I'm using a 4gb SDHC san Disk
and a 8gb kingstong.
and a 2gb adata.
Thank you!
Do a search for "sdhc wm5 patch". Download, unrar and run the cab file. Make sure it installs on the Hermes, NOT the SD card...
Cheers...
my lil bro is using Wm6.1 blinky's rom.
does that patch just allow SDHC? or does it fix my problem?
because i can see the card.
thanks
I'm using this rom from vp3G's wm6 v362 AT&T rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334946
on my herms 300 using 8525 housing and it read my sandisk micro sdhc 8g and working fine
Could just be the Hermes doesn't like them, especially if they work in an sd card reader. I have had bad cards before but the pc also couldn't read it.
I use a sandisk 8Gb card and have had no probs... My advice, go with works for everyone else, it may cost a little more but it saves on the headaches....
Cheers...
thanks
It works in a the SD card reader and i can use them fine in my camera. it never messes up in the camera.
thers no point in me buying a 8gb sandisk if my 4gb sandisk won't work either.
about that WM5 SD HC patch. is that for WM5 phones only? should i install it on my WM 6.1?
Thanks
Your wm6.1 rom should already be sdhc compliant, but yes, it should work fine on wm6( theres a wm6 varient). It was only WM5 and a few WM6 versions that weren't.
Are you sure its an ORIGINAL sandisk as I've had a few fakes that died horribly on me too.
Cheers...
I doubt new egg sells fakes...
But thanks.
Thank for answer I want to know it
i use in my hermes my older sdhc 8 gb by sandisk and all right
I've been looking for one for sometime and I can't find it. Is there one?
I'm interested in the same thing. The driver in wm6 works great, but I find wm2003se runs MUCH faster. The ONLY reason I'm on wm6 is for the SDHC support - but if I could get it in wm2003se it would be much appreciated.
Hello everyone, this is my first thread. I just flashed my Dash to Rick's V18 WM 6.1 rom. WOW!!! I am impressed! Thanks Rick and Kavana for your hard work! Alright now for the reason for my post: I can tell from past posts that WM 6.1 allows us to use SDHC microSD cards. And if I understand correctly 4, 6, and 8 GB are compatible. My question is what manufacturers are compatible? I have heard that not all manufacturers are compatible (at least this held true with WM 6). If anything what are some of you currently using on your Dash? Thanks!
I only use SanDisk cards. I have found them to be the most reliable in my devices.
Im using a 4gb kingston and it works fine. shop.kingston.com has some good deals. need to check daily. I paid 20 delivered for the 4gb and 11 delivered for the 2gb

So I popped my 4GB A-Data microSD card in to my friends Dash and it wouldn't come up in the file explorer. I t works just fine in my Shadow. What is everyone using mst commonly in teir Dash? Does 2GB work best?
WWE 080408 support 8GB microSD?
I read in a forum that the new WWE 080408 support microSD 8GB. I haven't test it on yet. But, as soon as I probe that is true I'll let u know.

I know on a stock WM 6.0 Dash the max is 2 GB. On a Dash with a flashed rom, it will take 4 GB or greater.
A-data works 4gb sdhc
using 4gb sdhc class6; no problems. Their adapter to regular sd size has issues, had to use kingston adapter, other than that no problems.
I flashed to rickys v23 rom and my kingston 4gb started working so I said what the heck and took it back and exchanged it for an 8gb sandisk which works as well.

The stock T-Mobile ROM will not accept anything above 2GB if I remember correctly. You need an official HTC or new, cooked 6.1 ROM to use anything greater than 2GB.
I have a 4GB Scandisk card. It works perfectly fine with any the current 6.1 ROMs out there for the Dash/HTC S620. 8, 12, and 16 should work as well (up to 32GB I think).
I use a Transcend 4GB SDHC card with the HTC WM6 rom without any issues.

I have a 4GB A-DATA SDHC... wouldn't work on stock T-mobile ROM
after flashing to HTC's ROM, I got it working
