4GB SD card works on my Blue Angel

Just in case anybody is thinking of getting a 4GB SD card, I can confirm that the Transcend 150x 4GB card works on my Blue Angel, though it doesn't work in the built-in SD card reader on my Toshiba laptop - I have to use a SanDisk MobileMate SD+ Card Reader. You can get the SD card for £80 from http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=17231&ft=d&st=1

£80? They seemed alot more then that just a few months back...

You can definitly get them cheaper on eBay but I wanted the option of returning it if it didn't work - I think if you buy something off an online retailer you can return it within 7 days.

But the real question is: Does it work with tomtom 5 without freezing?

I had that problem with a high-speed 1GB card using Navigator 3. The 4GB card seems to work far better though there is still some "freezing".

8gb non sdhc sd card.

I came across some 8 gb sd cards on ebay that the vendors claim are not sdhc. Anyone used this cards or could anyone confirm that they are actually compatible with non sdhc devices?

Regular sd cards only officially go up to 2gb but i have seen 4gb but dont work on all devices. That 8gb is a fake.

They are coming up all over ebay and people are buying and posting good feedbacks. I do use a 4g sd card which works flawlessly in my universal and also in my old toshiba e800 running wm2003se.

hmm.. i see them on ebay but im hesitant to buy them...

4GB non-SDHC Transcend
I have HTC Himalaya, I flashed it with WM 6.0 from Helmi and today (4.11.2010) I succefully started to use 4 GB SD (non-SDHC) card from Transcend in my Himalaya! Accordin´ to many opinions and comments I know that the device only has to support standard SD 1.1 (in hardware way) everything else is irrelevant! Now I´m searching for 8GB one (also non-SDHC), cause I know it exists! But first I have to find it and then I will post here that it works with Himalaya (meaning, if it works with Himalaya, It should work with any MDA or PDA with SDIO slot and hardware support for SD 1.1 format)

HC = "High Capacity".
It has to do with data addressing.
In order for a >2GB card to be non-HC, it has to have some other mechanism for switching between the 2GB segments than typical SDHC cards, like a physical switch on the back of the card. In essence, it will be multiple SD cards in a single package.

There are 3 SD standards:
-SD (max 2GB)
-SD 1.1 (max 4GB)
-SDHC (everything above 4 GB)
Don't buy these "SD" cards I bought one of them their quality was bad...after using it for 2 weeks the plastic case of the memory chip broke in 2 parts...now i have only the chip I cannot use anywhere.
The data I stored on it became sometimes unavailable I had to format the card...
Long story short: don't buy them.

Sandisk 16GB microSDHC works on Elfin

In case anybody is interesting: The new Sandisk 16 Gigabytes microSDHC (Class2) works nicely on my HTC Elfin (otherwise known als the HTC Touch with 256/128 MB) bought from T-Mobile Germany (still with original T-Mobile branded ROM).
BTW: when using the 16 Gigs microSDHC on a PC, the transfer speed seems to higher than 2MB/sec. I am using a Transcend M5 reader.

thanks! it's exactly the test i was waiting for! i think i'll upgrade my memory soon, i'm still using the standard 1gb microsd

Hi
I've tried using two of these with my Elf - But have found them to be very flaky
Long load times and in both cases the cards became unusable
Files that would transfer on and off my 6Gb card would fail
In fact the 2nd one (replacement) didn't even get a far as being used. I'd transferred files from my 6GB to my PC, on the transfer back (using a sandisk Micro SD to UDB reader) it failed and the card is now unreadable
So - I'm going to hold fire until they get a bit more reliable

Hawklan, where did you get those cards from? It could be possible they were fakes. And as for the MicroSD sizes, if I recall right, the WM ELF can support up to 32GB.

TP2 and SDHC card problem

Since switching from a SanDisk 8Gb class 2 MicroSDHC to a Kingston 16Gb class 10 MicroSDHC (manfacturer part number SDC10/16GB-2ADP) I keep getting problems starting up apps that use the storage slot. For example, when I start CoPilot Live 8, it just freezes and I have to power off the phone, pull out the card, re-insert it and power on again (if I don't re-insert the card then a phone reset doesn't allow me to use the card right away).
Is the TP2 ok with this card, or is the card defective? I don't have problems using it with a USB MicroSDHC adapter.
I might save this card for use with a newer phone, perhaps a HTC Desire or Legend.

I don't know the Kingston, but my Sandisk 16 GB does not make any problems.

I have the SanDisk 16gb and have had no problems at all. Have you formatted your Kingston sd card? Maybe try formatting it on a different computer, or by putting it into a digital camera and using its format function? Hope that helps...

Yes, I've tried formatting the card. It made no difference.
I guess my question comes down to what class card the TP2 supports. I understand that the cards themselves are supposed to be downward compatible with devices that don't support the higher speeds, but some devices might struggle. I don't know what card class is supported by the TP2 (2,4,6 etc). I imagine any class 2 card would be fine, but what is the maximum class the TP2 should be able to support?

I don't believe it's the card because I'm experiencing the same problem. I initially started using the card in a nokia e71. bought the same reader as you: it just freezes and I have to power off the phone, pull out the card, re-insert it and power on again (if I don't re-insert the card then a phone reset doesn't allow me to use the card right away).

I'm using some noname 16gb card I got off eBay. Used it in my Incite and now in my Tilt 2 without issue.

Download trial of Pocket Mechanic Pro and run disk check and for errors. Missing not having two copies of FAT directory onboard causes many problems. Pocket Mechanic Pro is one WM tool really worth having.

XDA IIS Memory stick problems - 4 GB Micro SD with adapter

Hi all. I'm new on this forum and have recently had my new phone stolen from me. I decided to blow the dust off the XDA IIS and have spent the last few days on here fiddling with it.
I ordered a new 4gb memory card. It is 4GB Micro SD inside a SD adapter. and works perfectly in the PC. I also have an old mi nin SD 512 inside an SD adapter and this works. I 've spent hours reading the forum and can't find a solution. I apologise if this has allready been asked but does anyone have any suggestions?
Its an XDA IIS and I have tried numerous windows installations on the phone with the same result. It is now running WM 6.5.3
Thankyou in avdance...

as a matter of facts, it has been asked dozens of times already. but still:
4gb is the boarderline size for sd cards (sd, mini-sd, micro-sd doesn't matter).
4gb is available as an sd1.0 card (standard sd), and also as sd2.0 card (sdhc). the sdhc standard is not compatible with the blueangel.
or, in layman's terms:
every sd card of 2gb or less capacity works
every sd card of 8gb or more capacity doesn't work
for 4gb cards you have to look out, so you don't accidently buy an sdhc card, kingston and transcend have good standard 4gb cards.

Thanks for your reply. So basically it should work? I tried to make sure I didnt buy SDHC and it doesn't say it on the card. Would you say that the card more than likeley is SDHC?

what brand and model is it?
but afaik all micro sd cards of 4gb are sdhc, there are very few normal size 4 gb sd cards, namely kingston and transcend, but the majority of 4gb cards is sdhc and therefor incompatible.
