8GB SDHC card on HTC Universal ?

Does the HTC Universal Support the new 8 GB SDHC cards ? If, not what is the highest capacity the HTC Universal supports ?

sorry the Universal does not support SDHC, & the max capacity accepted with a SDcard is 4GB.

Are you sure ? Have you tried it. Accoriding to sandisc, HTC Universal only support 2 GB SD:

also says 2GB for the jamin and I've got 4gb works fine (fat32)

still optimistic

I am using 4GB for the past one month in my JJ. No issues....

My one works with 4GB OK

SD card suppliers are just trying to cover themselves.
As I understand it, the Universal works with 4GB cards but some applications don't, for example the camera application will not work if the card has more than 2GB of free space.

I think that was prior to the AKU2 ROM updates that the camera had a problem.

The camera works but cannot keep the images in the SD if it does not have LESS of 2GB free.

As I say, I thought that had been addressed in the latest ROMs - not tried it myself, so could be wrong.

4 GB SD Card
hey mikew
what do you mean by the camera application wont work if the card has moe than 2 GB of free space. do you mean to say with the 4 GB SD card the camera wont work at all.
if the SD card is more than 2 GB full, will the camera work?
how do i know if i have the AKU2 ROM update?

4GB using 2GB buffer - Jasjar, HTC equivalent
Just to confirm, Jasjar, HTC equivalent unit, does recognize & work with 4GB SD card; however, to make camera store to card - fill up the card first with 2GB of junk files, then camera storage works as it should... this is with latest firmware. Delete junk files as you need the storage, but keep card above the 2GB threshold. I've experienced no other storage based issues using the 2GB buffer, with any program used to date.

I have tryed CoolCamera, and saving pics to my 4Gb was not a problem. Then i changed firmware and had to fill 2Gb with files in order to save pics to SD card.
I am not using camera on my O2 EXEC, but with cool camera i could save pict direct to my 4Gb card.
If you buying 4Gb card it means you have a lot of things to put on tit, so using up 2 Gb is not a problem.
TomTom with 6 maps is 1Gb

8GB SDHC can see only 3.5GB
Hi, I just bougth 8GB Toshiba class 4 SDHC card
after install SDHC.cab, my universal can see only 3.5GB of data, but My PC can see up to 7.5GB.
I copy data over 3.5GB from my PC and check in my universal, i found that it sees the data folder and name, but once I click on the file, it said the file doese not exit. I try on PC, the result is no problem.
I have been trying to find the way to partition my new SDHC card to 2 drive hoping it will solve this problem, but so far have no luck.....
Can anyone help me out ?
Thanks so much

I used the SDHC Hack and I can now read and write 5GBs of 8GBs on my SDHC Card in my Samsung i730..I was wondering if you or anyone else found a way to partition it, say into two FAT16 4GB partitions so we can use the entire thing? Thanks.

16GB and 8GB SDHC cards should work fine on the Universal with the SDHC.cab patch.

Can you use a 2gb micro sd on the dash

I dont want to order a 2gb micro sd and not be able to use it. Does anyone know if you can use it or is it limited to only a 1gb micro sd?
Thanks.

yes...dash handles up to 2gb.

thanks! i do appreciate it!!!!

Do you really?

I just tried 8GB
I just tried an 8GB SD with no luck. My 2GB has been working fine for over a year. Has anyone tried the 4GB?

I'm using a Sandisk 2gb with no problems...

We don't use SD cards, we use MICRO SD cards.
Your OEM dash can use 2 GB Micro SD cards out of the box, but to enable SDHC, you have to flash to the newer rom, which will let you use 4, 6, 8, and supposedly up to 32GB cards.

Newer Roms?
Yes, my mistake sd micro not sd.
I am running the official mobile 6 from t-mobile.
What versions are the newer roms?
Where do I get it?
Is t-mobile going to release these roms?

SDHC driver in Crossbow?

I'm curious if Crossbow has a new SDHC driver? The previous SD driver was based on v1.1.
Has anyone tried a SDHC card with Crossbow to see if it works?

Universal doesn't have SDHC hardware, so driver software should not help.

I thought that SDHC cards were the same hardware as regular SD cards, just formatted to FAT32. Is that not the case? I thought by virtue of the fact that many of us are happily using 4Gb SD cards (formatted with FAT32), that SDHC cards would work fine?
Devices that wouldn't handle FAT32, and therefore restricted to a 2Gb maximum are officially "SD", and those that can handle FAT32 will be labelled up "SDHC" to avoid confusion by non-techies.
My mate has a Casio camera that would always shut down as soon as you put a 4Gb SD card in it - he formatted it using FAT16 to 2Gb, and it recognised the card, but couldn't use it. He formatted the card with the camera, and it worked fine, but only with a capacity of 1Gb. I use this as an example of what I expect SD/SDHC compatibility to be like - simply an indication of the file system, and capacity limits that a device can handle.
Cheers,
Steve.

i agree with you... but i tried a card... it refuses to work with exec

kingdomraj,
Which ROM version do you have? Is your ROM Crossbow?

Difference between SDHC and SD its the same as between CD and DVD - U can use SD in SDHC HW but not SDHC in SD HW. Not all can be changed via drivers!

yes.... why ??

SD or SDHC

guys i got the tmobile compact 3 and want to put a 4 or 8gb memory card in the phone.
just wondering which is better sd or sdhc, if so do i need any cab etc to run the disk?
also im running wm5
thanks

every SD Card which is bigger than 2GB is a SDHC Card.
And for SDHC Cards you need a patch, that the artemis can read it.
so both 4GB and 8GB are SDHC cards.

The only patch there is to run SDHC on the C-III is for WM6, there is a ROM upgrade that is from T-Mobile for WM6, I have it on my C-III which works fine with its 6GB SDHC card fitted - Mike

List of compatible Micro-SD Cards
As it has been discussed in another thread, here are the list of SD cards that are working for HD7. I assume that the same should be applicable to HD2.
