Good Afternoon Mike,
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.? There will not be a patch for the new memory card technology SDHC, the phone you have got was made long before the technology was around, so therefore is not a feature on the HTC 3300
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
Best regards,
Dawn Blandford

I hope she doesn't know what she is talking about!
Oh dear... let's hope she is TOTALLY wrong.
Which HTC model do you have?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the SDHC technology was available long before the HTC P3300 was released.

Isn't this the same technology that we used with SD cards in our old PPC's with WM03? I can use a 4GB SD card in my old Toshiba E755.

Well, not necessarily. All SD cards 8 Gb and above are SDHC. All SD cards 2 Gb and below are NOT SDHC. 4 Gb SD cards should all be SDHC, but in practice, lots of vendors offer non-SDHC versions.

So you're saying that I can get a 4GB card to work in my Artemis that's not SDHC? If so, got a link to who sells these?

the problem is that artemis devices use microSD cards and not standard SD cards. i have yet to see any 4GB non-SDHC microSD card...
I think they want to included this in new models and use it as a new feauture....including it in an older model wouldn't be very wise from their point of view....
There is a difference guys between SD SDHC and microSD SDHC:
SD more than 4GB = SD SDHC
microSD more than 2GB = microSD SDHC

Gotcha. Really, a 2GB card would be plenty but TomTom Maps are the only thing that make a 4GB card look way more appealing to me. Unless your just carring around a bunch of media files, 2GB would suffice for most people. Guess that was their thinking

Is there a size limit to the microsd that the Dash will take? I ask this because I used to have a Motorola A1200 that only took 1gb microsd.
I have a 2GB microSD card in my dash. Works great
Up to 2 gb would work just fine. From I've been read, 2 gb is the max you can go with Dash.
2g is the max for SD, microSD, miniSD. The only thing higher is called SDhc (Secure Digital High Capacity) and will only work on cameras and devices that say they are SDhc compatible, ones that don't won't recognize it.
I just recently purchase a 2GB from Sandisk and it works fine. I purchaed it from Outpost.com for $20 after rebate. I think the reason why Dash only supports up to 2GB because 4GB microsd aren't available yet during the time of the release (and currently as well that aren't NON SDHC). I wish the 4GB will come out soon because you know by then 8GB microsd will next. I think 8GB is a good size for the dash. Enough to pack decent amount of music, files, programs, and definitely gps maps that take a lot of space.

There is no Non SDHC because SD technology can't support over 2g. That's why they made SDhc. Different format/technology. SD is FAT16 and SDhc is FAT32. (from what I've seen online)

Yes, I do understand that SD cards are limited but it is possible as you can see many ppl are buying standard 4GB SDs and even MiniSD that don't require SDHC readable devices. They are non-SDHC that is formatted to FAT32. Ebay is flooded with these non-sdhc 4gb miniSD and they work according to many. In time, I'm sure there will be 4gb microsd that don't require SDHC as well too. The 8GB of course most likely will remain SDHC as it is still fairly new in the flash memory industry at the moment.

Do they just format it from 16 to 32? And if so do you know how they do this? I've been looking online and can't find anything.
I am looking for a 4GB SD card for my Qtek S200.
A-DATA "150x" is cheaper than Pretec 133x.
I know, I will not realize the speed difference in XDA.
Could you tell me your speed experiences with these cards in PC card readers?
THANX
i had a pretec and it didn't work so well. the card would corrupt all the time. i have had a-data with no problems but i may have had an odd experience
DO NOT GET ANY CARD THAT IS MORE THAN 2GIGS THAT IS NOT SDHC. Wether it is SD or minisd or microsd if you get a 4GB or higher card make sure it is SDHC or you are asking for trouble as most if not all regular sd cards corrupt data sooner or later if they are not HC.
4GB works on non-SDHC
I use a non-SDHC card in my phone and not had corruption problems with it. Main advantage is it works with all card readers whereas SDHC only work with some card readers.

Which card?
Can the HTC Touch take 4GB MicroSDHC cards?
i heard that the newer ppc's should support it. I hope im right
anyone else know anything about this?
The specifications for the HTC Touch says it supports the standard "SD 2.0". This standard includes SDHC (Cards from 4-32gb), and have seen a few users say they are using a 4gb card in their touch (search will reveal who).
Here (DK) the only 4gb MicroSDHC card available is Class 2, so I wont be going for the 4gb (or 8gb for that matter) card until I can get atleast Class 4, preferably Class 6.
You can read more about SDHC in general on wikipedia.
Hi,i'm actually using 4gb microsd HC from SanDisk.
Everything work perfect without any problem.
Mine Touch have Italian software but i don't think different language firmware could have limitations about memory size....i hope
Bye.
unodbs
you said that you have a 4Gb Card.
were did you buy it?
Tanks
Hi,from ebay the object number is :160135130187 but maybe now you'll find more than this model cause the demand is growning......and maybe the price will be lower.
8 gb sdhc actually used in a touch, anybody ?
has anybody actually used an 8 gb micro sdhc card in a touch yet?
i know there was some discussion about the availability of this size card, and that it was available for quite a few pounds(dollars for me), and i believe someone had purchased it, but never really heard of the results.
if someone has please post, and please let us know where it was purchased and for how much. also, if outside us whether you know if it can be delivered to the usa.
thanks in advance
dan

Did you test the card? E.g. fill it up to over 2gb, like 2.5gb and then see if the phone writes on it etc. 'Cause the picture on Ebay appears different from the one that Verizon carries which should be the real one.
It is good that it works on the Touch, since I just ordered a Touch. I've tested my card, it works flawlessly on the TyTN and I filled it up to test.
Test done
Just end the fill up test on SDHC 4 gb,no problem it works
I've made some copy of 98mb files and also 2 copy of tomtom map file (about 518mb) now memory info report just 84.03 mb free and 3794.47 used of 3878.50 total space on microSd card.
Thank to Doni for suggest me the test.
Pls guys forgive my poor english.
Using sandisk hdsc 4gb card for a week now in my touch and works like a charm. Can't wait for the 8gb lol! bought on amazon. these cards are hard to locate.

how significant is class 2 and class 6 micro sdhc cards? compared to the standard 50x micro sd cards.
the class 6 micro sd sdhc doesnt come cheap but the class 2 and class 4 seems reasonable..
I got the 4GB Sandisk card today and it works well.
£29.99 including p&p on play.com at the minute....
Damnit, knew I should have waited...

That's a SD not a SDHC card. It will still work though.
You can get the 4Gb SDHC card on eBay for £32 and you also get a Micro SD to SD Card Adapter and a SDHC USB Card reader in with the price

The fact that its 4GB means it has to be SDHC... The HC stands for High Capacity
maybe not.
there is a 4gb sd and 4gb sdhc.
have just got a 4GB SDHC Micro Sd card from Amazon including an sd to micro adapter and a sandisk micromate (adapter type thing not used yet) for £24.95 + p+p in total came to less than £30.
Works fine for me so far despite HTC telling me they only support 2 GB cards, mine is an MDA touch from Tmonile but I dont think that will make much difference.

No he's right. On research I find SD only goes up to 2Gb. The SDHC uses FAT32 file system to be able allow higher capacities. 8Gb card coming out next year.
Anyway, for me extra 2 squids I got a couple of adaptors.
My Phone is X01HT ,OS is Black_X,so does it support 4GB Micro SD?

SDHC on WM6
If your OS is WM6, then it should support SDHC. The SDHC standard specifies a size range of 4 GB - 32 GB. If your OS supports the SDHC standard, then it can read any SDHC card. Of course, there are no 32 GB cards... Yet!
There are actually some non-SDHC 4 GB cards. In particular, Q Memory makes 4 GB non-SDHC cards, but I believe they only have full size and mini, not micro. FWIW, while I was able to read the miniSD 4 GB non-SDHC on my Wizard, running WM5, it was so slow that I couldn't actually run any programs installed onto the card!
Regardless, if you have any of the great WM6 ROMs here, you'll be able to read a microSDHC card.

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.
