MicroSD / MicroSDHC [2/?] - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Dear All,
I am trying to unravel the many MicroSD and MicroSDHC questions/answers that are being posted.
To put it into simple terms I have bought a 4GB MicroSDHC card for storage. I can understand that this will not work with the standard MicroSD hardware but is it possible now or could it be possible in the near future to D/L a patch/driver and uploaded/install to make the card work or does this involve a physical hardware change.
Secondly, are there 4GB or even higher MicroSD cards available on the market 2 GB are just not enough.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
jsthomson.

MicroSD, not MicroSDHC, so the answer is no

So which one is it...YES or NO

There are 4 GB and higher MicroSDHC but not MicroSD. MicroSDHC is a new hardware specs and software patch/firmware will not enable compatibility.

re:
my friends i buy a microSDHC 4Gb...
and works with my Trinity, not 100% but it's works

What do you mean "not 100%"?

Does the 4GB HCSD microSD works under WM6?

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 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.

First SDXC card unveiled. Anybody working on a driver?

So, it looks like there's already a SDXC card. It's 32GB and read/write speed can hit 50MB/s. Not too shabby. Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody knows about any work being done on a driver for this; either by HTC or a third party.

I'm sure there is work being done, but not for any devices currently in existence. SDXC is not compatible with SD/SDHC devices.
Current expectations are for SDXC devices to begin hitting the market around the first of the year, according to CNET.
Which, of course, is a vast conspiracy aimed directly at me, since I was planning to get a Touch Pro 2 just about that time of year, and within 6 months HTC will come out with an SDXC-capable device.
doies this mean the 32 gb sdhc has been cancelled
i heard the 32 gb sd would be a hc not a xc

FYI, 32GB SDHC cards are already in existance, however, I am guessing that you mean 32GB microSDHC cards. In that case...
If you recall, 4GB preSDHC cards never got made by major manufacturers when the SDHC spec came out (even though 4GB was the theoretical preSDHC max). However, small manufacturers did make the 4GB cards and they were easily obtainable on eBay. I infact have a 4GB miniSD from back them.
I would guess that even if the major manufacturers do the same, that is skip over 32GBmicroSDHC cards, the gap will be filled by smaller manufactuers looking to make a buck.
no ui was just wondering
id heard report on a 32 and 128 gb micro sdhc cards
i was wondering if the sdxc was taking over this

32GB has always been proclaimed as the theoretical limit to SDHC, as I understand it - in the sense that it might be possible to create that much storage on one, but no had done it yet, so it's not proven. However, more than 32GB is not possible with the SDHC standard, so if you heard reports of 128, it was likely referring to SDXC.
I image that once SDXC hits the market, SDHC probably won't have much more than 4 or 5 years of practical life left in it as device makers migrate exclusively to the more advanced technology - rather like you don't see many floppy drives anymore.

Rhodium - SDHC 32GB?

I'm pretty confused here.
Does the Rhodium support SDHC memorycards?
And if it does, does it support the full 32GB?
Can't speak for (or afford) a 32 GB card, but mine is happily running a 16gb Micro SDHC card.

Well, neither can I really - but I figure that a high-end device like the Rhodium deserves a high end Memory Card.

128GB micro sd memory card

Hi, does anyone know when microsd 64GB memory card will be in the market?
I'm assuming from the title you wanna know when a 128 sd card will be released as far as I know the galaxy s3 only supports cards up to 64gb (someone feel free to correct me) and they're out now.

Android support memory card up to 2TB (2000GB) so 128 GB is no problem for SGS 3
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S 2 (80GB)
128GB cards will work, as to when they'll hit the market who knows. I'm hoping no later than October-ish this year, which would be one year after the 64GB cards. I will get one at release regardless of cost and confirm they are working in various handsets for everyone. Cannot come soon enough for me, had my 64GB since a few days after they were released and just not adequate for my needs.
The Galaxy SII Skyrocket is only rated to handle a 32GB microSD card, but easily works w/64GB microSD cards also.
So I'd be willing to bet the SIII would do just fine with a 128GB card.
My wallet on the other hand... :silly:
btw these new emoticons kinda suck.

sgs3 supports sdxc, which supports storage sizes up to 2TB. 64GB just happens to be the largest sd card you can get in the market right now.
Any News on a Faster 64bd card than the class 10 ?
Thanks

Really enjoy(ed) your S3 review(s) and from your connectivity tests I can believe you would welcome a 128 (or bigger) microSD :fingers-crossed: .
2 tb?
are you serious. who needs that in a phone unless you have every song ever written on it? i can't get my s3 until december :crying: i'm on sprint with the epic 4g rooted of course. plus i'm waiting for the wireless charging kit anyway. just hope it's out by then. i heard around september it should be coming out. anyone heard anything different on that?

class 10 refer to minimum speed so anything above is still classified as class 10, although transcend has released a class 16, but that not official, according the the SDA, class 10 is the highest.

UHS-1 Micro SDs claim to run faster than class 10 and eventually we'll get UHS-2 which should be even faster.

UHS and class 10 are two different standard and are not related, no phones on the market supports UHS.

SanDisk advertise them as being faster than class 10 and I'm using the SanDisk 32gb UHS-1 Mobile Ultra with no problems, and the package it came in says "Ideal for Android"

uhs is only supported if the card reader supports this feature, sandisk also mention about this.
you can still use the same card in a non uhs compliant reader, but will only get the class 10 specification and speed.

It would be handy for people that want to play blurays either on their phone or through the HDMI out. Or for audiophiles that listen to lossless audio which takes up around 10 times the storage (which sound absolutely AMAZING with the wolfson DAC and voodoo). Or maybe they just want to never run out of storage?
A 32 gb card will only hold around 100-150 lossless songs, and an avg size mp3 you could have around 1000-1500. A HQ bluray rip avg size is around 8gb, which can only be played on SDXC because regular cards aren't formatted to allow playback of files over 4gb.

I'm sure I read somewhere S3 is UHS compatible.
