Leaving all other messages for what they are, I can hereby CONFIRM that the HTC S620 IS SDHC compatible.
I've tried several units, all loaded with the official Windows Mobile 6 ROM upgrade (Two Dutch and three WWE).
The Sandisk 4 and 6 GB cards are working, the memory is visible and the entire volume of the cards is available.
Since the S620's were upgraded with Windows Mobile 6 already, I am not sure if the same thing goes for S620's loaded with Windows Mobile 5.0.
Need to see if 8 GB is supported too, I didn't receive a sample of that card yet.
sweet, i'm gonna get a 4gb then
NICE! But can you post any pictures to confirm this? I don't want to go all out on couple of 4GB+, since they aren't cheap neither, and then realize you pulled a fast one on me.
Cool!! thanks for the info mate!

I'm sorry, but the S620 samples are back on their way already.
I'm now awaiting a Windows Mobile 5.0 model to see if that works as well.
Trust me, at least up to 6 GB is supported with the HTC Windows Mobile 6 Standard ROM.
Anyone else able to clarify that is does work with 6GB?
Is this just the HTC Mobile 6 ROM or do you think a T Mobile Mobile 6 ROM will work too? I was getting ready to pick up a couple 2 gig cards for my Dash but if I can go buy a single 4-6 gig card then that would be much more convenient.
6GB cards do not exist. A shame, nice story otherwise.
EDIT:
sorry, they do…
T-Mobiles WM6 ROM for the Dash doesn't support cards higher than 2GB. Someone tested over at HoFo.
yes they do make 6gig but they are sdhc compatible.. check out

"sorry didnt see that yes they do edit"..
So a Class 2 SDHC would work huh?
Again, it WORKS with the genuine HTC Windows Mobile 6 ROM for the HTC S620.
I don't know about the compatibility with other branded Excalibur's or ROM's.
thanks for the info.. but i was asking about the sd cards, i guess sdhc have different classes? do you remember which class you used? 2,4,6? thanks!
Well I was wandering down Tottenham Court road this morning and couldn't resist it ... so ended up buying a 4GB SDHC Card .... works perfectly in my S620 running Mobile 6
great ... but SDHC what means
what it means?

4 gig sdhc card
Anything above 2GB is SDHC.

Has anyone grabbed pictures as proof yet? And for that matter has anyone managed to get the SDHC working on Tmobile WM6?
Com'n.....someone prove it with pictures!

I've done a lot of searches, but I haven't found any thread that solves my doubts...
I have a 2 GB Sandisk MicroSD in my HTC P3300 and it works perfectly (in fact I never suffered the corruption bug), but this is very few storage for me so I need a 4 GB memory card. My questions are:
1st - Does it exist any 4 GB MicroSD (not MicroSDHC)? I've readen some posts talking about them and I've seen some links in eBay shops, but nobody has confirmed if they are fakes. Anybody could tell me if 4 GB MicroSD exist and where to buy them?
2nd - If you have a 4 GB MicroSD, have you tested it in your HTC Artemis? Does it work? Have you got WM5 or WM6? Official or "non-official" ROM?
3rd - If you have a 4 GB MicroSDHC, have you tested it in your HTC Artemis? Does it work? Have you got WM5 or WM6? Official or "non-official" ROM?
I've opened a poll to know more clearly if I have the possibility to upgrade my storage card or I'll have to bear with that poor 2 GB Sandisk... Please, vote and write a post telling which brand/model of Artemis and MicroSD/MicroSDHC do you have and what operating system and ROM version do you use
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you haven't suffered to understand this message
Thanks
Nobody has tested a 4 GB MicroSD/MicroSDHC in his Artemis? I cannot believe it!
Regards
Someone did test a 4gb card and it didn't work for hin. On my phone right now so doing a search would be a pain. Search for sdhc in the Artemis mobile 6 forum and you should find it though.

Thank you for your answer
The thread you were talking about is this one. In one of the last posts a person says that he/she has tested a 4 GB Sandisk MicroSD in the Artemis with negative results, but doesn't specify if it's a High Capacity MicroSD (MicroSDHC) and in which OS the test was done
I would like to know more opinions and to see votes from people who has tested also a 4 GB MicroSD (HC or non-HC), I'm sure that there are more users who has experience with this kind of memory cards and we all would have a more clear idea if they tell us the detailed results
Regards
Well if you or someone can point out a couple 4 GB cards that are available in the U.S. online I will buy up to 3 to test just to try and bring some closure to the question.
The only 4GB micro SD card I could find was out of stock (J&R music). Based on a little searching it seems to perpetually be out of stock. I added myself to get an alert should it come in however.
I have done a bit of research and I am pretty sure the P3300 will not work with a 4GB card, but I am willing to try.
It is not the traces or the pinout on the card as many have surmised that is the problem though. The SDHC uses FAT32 whereas SD uses FAT16. So unless the system has the capability of reading FAT32 the question of circuitry is moot. Everything I have read points to 2GB being the limit for non SDHC and that the P3300 does not support it.
Another common misconception seems to be that there are non SDHC 4GB micro sd cards. I see no evidence that this is the case. Furthering the improbability is the fact that the Fat16 has an upper limit of a 2GB partition. (There is an exception to this where the FAT16 uses 64K clusters, but this is unlikely to be done or work in ANYTHING without custom drivers. I never even heard of this till I did this research.)
None the less I would be happy to be proven wrong.
I've read a thread somewhere in this forum where a senior member (or was it a mod?) had drivers to make the artemis sdhc capable which usually is not possible if the hardware is not built for that. Search for it and maybe you'll find it.
I have read most of those threads and none are conclusive.
You also can not do anything with drivers if the hardware is not already compatible. There is not any question that the p3300 does not officially support microsdhc.
The debate rages and a thread like this keeps coming up.
From what I've read so far, the only thing required is a SDHC driver. There should not be problem on the hardware side.
Some say the WM6 ROMs have SDHC driver. My Wizard has WM6 and the driver on it looks different, but I don't have a SDHC miniSD to verify. Ultimately, to prove it works on Artemis, I need a 4Gb SDHC microSD so I can try the stock drivers and may be copy the drivers from my Wizard.
SanDisk 4GB microSD-HC DID NOT WORK on MDA compact III
Hello,
I`ve an MDA compact III which was delivered with WM5 OS. I`ve an 2GB microSD - Card from Sandisk, working perfectly. A little bit small that thing for my big fingers... =
Now I was searching for higher capacitys of microSD - Cards and found an SanDisk microSD-HC with a capacity on 4 GB. Bought for app. 60€ and testet on my device: NOTHING. No work. The WM5 OS did`t recognise the Crad. The card is`t shown inside the System. It seems like NO card inside the device. The card is OK. There was a little USB reader in the package, where I can access to the card.
OK, maybe it is the WM5 OS and I decided to upgrade to WM6. (German O² OS using the UPL method...) The upgrade was done in 10 Minutes, but the card works NOT! The same reaction like on WM5.
Now I`m wayting for an patched OS with (maybe) an SD-HC driver inside. Let`s pray...
Best regards, Sven
The Artemis is not able to read/write microSDHC Cards. The Interface of the Artemis permits only FAT16, microSDHC works only with FAT32. Artemis cannot recognise it. Normal microSD with 4 GB if should be at least recognised.
JanetPanic: Before opening this thread I had done many searches to get information about SDHC, and I know that SDHC compatibility is a hardware problem rather than a software/drivers problem. However, I hoped that our HTC Artemis had a SDHC compatible slot, looking at HTC Trinity's example... By the way, before the Artemis I had a Dell X51v with a 4 GB SD (non-HC) that worked like a charm; I expect that in a -near- future there'll be 4 GB MicroSD cards
lSSBl: Very interesting your MicroSDHC "review", althought you have ruined most of my hopes. Let's pray that future WM6 official ROMs will give the Artemis the ability to read MicroSDHC cards
AlfredENeumann: I tell you the same as JanetPanic, the HTC doesn't have officially a HC compatible slot and however it supports that kind of memory cards. Let's pray...
Regards
@AlfredENeumann
You're wrong. The Artemis accepts FAT32 as well as FAT16 SD cards, no matter if WM5 or WM6. But that has nothing to do with SDHC, what till now doesn't work with the generic WM6 drivers.
perhaps a solution: http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6308.html
http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/pdf/retail/SDHC1.pdf
That means, that the SDHC card is NOT backward compatible - you can't format it with FAT16, but you can format any 'normal' (micro) sd- card with FAT32, and it still works at the artemis. Tested by me, and a lot of other guys.
Has anybody Tried the SDHC driver from the HTC Trinity yet?

4 gb micro dilemma
Hey guys... see if you can help me out.
Installed the 4gb micro sd on my HTC Artemis and the SDHC driver from the previous post... windows mobile 5 doesn't recognize the card.
Not sure what to try, open to any suggestions.
c.
crap
Actually, after I've tried the 4gb Micro and installed the Trinity driver.. NONE of my storage cards are recognizable now. So I removed the driver.. and STILL none of my storage cards are recognized. BUSTED?!? Not sure how to fix this?

SanDisk have just announced an 8GB micro SDHC.... time we got these SDHC cards working in our devices! Anyone have any input on how we can find out if this is possible?
Sandisk 4gb SDHC no go
Hi all, just to let you know I tried all the WM6 rom's on these forums (thanks to all), reformated my sandisk 4gb microsd card fat 16/32 but no go..
(my 2gb sandisk card works fine with fat16/32), even tried trinity driver no go.
Hopefully the new WM6 rom from HTC this week will support it.

It cannot support a 4GB MicroSD card because all 4GB+ are SDHC. The S620/S621 can only read up to 2GB. A phone like the HTC Touch is able to support 4GB+ SDHC memory.
But there are others who says that it works on their device running WM6.... Can anyone confirm that?
What 'others'...? Can you confirm that with a link to a particular post?

Okay, I am not sure which source you are referring to BUT there was one thread where somebody found a key in the registry that was named "SDHC" which started a speculation that the Dash could of supported SDHC cards. However, it has been confirmed that SDHC in that registry meant "Secure Digital Host Controller" which is used for the STANDARD MICROSD reader.
http://www.jamerican.net/?p=9
Trust Me! If the Dash supported SDHC MicroSD cards, there would definitely be a HUGE THREAD about it.
Hello, I have a french s620 upgraded with french ROM WM6. And now with WM6 the S620 accept microSDHC.
My Sandisk microSDHC 4 GB works fine. It works fine too in my Kaiser
I m waiting for my 6 GB and test in the s620 when I receive the card.
Sorry for my bad english ...
Hmmm... same hardware here, same OS, just tried it -- my device doesn't see it. Just one of life's many mysteries I guess

SDHC on HTC 620
Well I can confirm that the 6GB SDHC card from Sandisk works brilliantly. No problems. You just have to be sure you have Windows Mobile 6.0 installed on your phone and you are good to go!
4gb works fine!
My s620 runs a 4gb SDHC frim Sandisk. it works perfect! I´ve installed WM6 on my s620. Merry Christmas!
Looks like Chaz got pwned
J/P... but looks like it may very well work
will the 6gb and 8gb micro sdhc cards work as well?
An 8GB micro SDHC card works as well !
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

There's a load of other threads on this if you search. Answer is yes.

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...

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

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
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

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.
A-DATA
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
With the SDHC-patch (driver), i got de Sandisk Mobile 8Gb MicroSDHC working on the P3300.
I have learned from all of you, now it was my turn to give something back.
I don't know if you need more information, but i use Windows Mobiel 6.1 .
It's not much what i have to say, but maybe it helps somebody who's looking for answers.

Ps: I had a less time to read all your posts with micro-SDHC cards. (My bad.)
"For the good of the many", please delete this post because there are many more and better answers about micro-SDHC-cards.
8GB works in all new artemis roms
well, maybe on nokia phones with their own or symbian OS they have limitations...
but with the SDHC patch applied to a windows mobile phone... my theory is that ANY sdhc should work. be it 4gb, 8gb or 32gb
we'll see when those cards come out
so if i'll buy TRANSFLASH SANDISK 4 Gb. HC does it work?!
i've p3300 @ wm6 original..

use the patch in other posts for sdhc support. yesssssss!!! then it will work!
search the forum! good luck.
