HTC S620 with Windows Mobile 6 supports SDHC

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?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171275
4 gig sdhc card
Anything above 2GB is SDHC.
sandisk 4gb card working in t-mobile dash after i updated to the rogers wm 6 rom, wasnt working with tmo wm 6 rom this is awesome
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!

[Q] MIRACAST ON Asus VivoTabRT Tablet with 32GB

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW CAN MIRACAST ON THIS TABLET I BOUGHT DOR THAT PURPOSE IVE READ ALOT AND NVIDIA WAS SUPPOSE TO ADD THAT FEATURE TO THE TEGRA 3 BUT I CANT GET IT TO WORK OR IT DOESNT HAVE IT AND IF SO IS THEYRE A HACK DRIVER BECAUSE IT DEFINITELY COULD HANDLE IT THANKS
SPECS
Features:
Windows RT operating system
Along with a 1.3GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 T30 processor, 1500MHz bus speed and 1MB L2 cache allows you to stay connected and productive on the go.
Built-in 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN
Connect to the Internet without wires.
2GB LV memory
For multitasking power.
System Memory (RAM): 2GB
Internal Storage Type: eMMC
Storage Capacity: 32GB
SD Card Slot: Yes
Why are you yelling at us?
According to Rafael Rivera, an MS hacker dude who co-wrote some Windows books, Miracast isn't supported on Surface RT (Tegra 3), which means VivoTab RT won't be supported either.
http://withinwindows.com/2013/6/30/...acast-wireless-display-tech-and-it-works-well
Windows RT 8.x is in a high state of transition, and orphaned devices will be the rule and not the exception. With the upcoming merger of RT and WP, I expect more tough times ahead for RT users. (WP users will be more protected, since there are more of them, and since the head OSG guy was the head of the WP group).

Another tech question

OK, the big deal the last year was Apple pulling out a 64 bit chip.
Android is yet to catch up really.
My question is, are the differences between 32 bit and 64 bit huge or more a advertising gimmick?
The reason I ask is I read an article on an android site that was trying to say the biggest deal of going to 64 bit was the ability to handle over 4 gigs of ram.
I prefer objective answers so is this correct or is there a lot more to it?
Yes, the maximum amount of ram a 32bit processor can use is 4GB where a 64bit processor can handle more than 18 billion GB of ram (though you're not going to get that in your home pc, let alone your phone) . The big difference is the amount of bits per second the processor can calculate. It can make a huge difference if you take advantage of the ability to use more ram. As of right now Android for the most part is a little behind as far as the 64 bit processor goes but I believe there are already a couple phones that just came out with a 64 bit processor including the note 4 with the Exynos 7 Octa processor. Another thing to note is that Android version 5.0 "lollipop" supports a 64bit processor, so 64bit Android devices will be coming fast and furious. Once they begin to be more common Android phones will quickly pass Apple again in this area because they will take advantage of the ability to use more ram where as Apple has had the 64 bit processor now for a while and is still only using 1GB of ram in the iPhone 6.

+1 with what Thrill3d said. Another thing to keep in mind is that a 64bit processor and architecture doesn't in and of itself make for a faster device that the user can tell/see. The firmware and software (apps) that run on that device must be 64bit also before the user sees a notifiable difference. I'm not aware of any 64bit Android apps available right now and that's because there are no 64bit Android phones available in the US. You can run a 32bit apps (for the most part) on a 64bit systems, but you can't run a 64bit app on a 32bit system.
Thanks guys. It is crazy to me that the Iphone 6 has a 64 bit chip and then throw in an anemic 1 gig of Ram.
If I am not mistaken Android had phones with 2 gigs in 2012

If I'm not mistaken, most Android phones had 2gigs prior to 2012, but I won't swear to that.

Yeah, I don't understand the rationale, except maybe its a target price "thing". But hay, how much does 1 gig cost?

I think the rational is that Apple has far better software to hardware integration because of the closed eco system. Whether or not that translates to better performance is highly suggestive. My note 4 hauls ass and is a beast.

The iPhone has to only do the same thing it did for the past 5 years. It's basically been the same phone and same os(minus minor changes). I'm not surprised it only needs a gig, it can't multi-task.
As for 64 bit. For Android it's going to change everything. Not just amount of ram. There is a new type of internal memory coming out called ufs that is no longer going to be an emmc variant. It's going to be similar to the solid state flash memory in ssd hard drives. The real advantages are it's more than 2x-4x faster than the fastest emmc(depending on the ufs version) . And the real beauty is that it can read and write at the same time. Emmc can't.
There is also better and faster ram technology that will be available.
But just like 64bit did for the pc it allows for better multitasking which is where android shines.

Note 10 Plus Connects to 8TB WD HD !!!

I recently purchased an 8TB WD Portable HD from Best Buy (Cyber Monday special, 33% discount), formatted as exFAT. My Note 10 Plus can access the 8TB HD, read the files, open files, transfer files to and from my computer/HD.
And? exFAT is native for android. You could buy samsung T5 usb-c and transfer files directly to phone and vice versa (with greater speed)

Connecting my Note 10 Plus to my 8TB HD and transferring files is actually pretty fast !!! I can also have both my 8TB HD and my Note 10 Plus connected to my computer at the same time, and easily and quickly transfer files between all devices with no problem.
you connected phone directly to hdd or via multiport adapter for samsung dex?

1) I can connect my WD 8TB HD directly to my Dell laptop, and access from my Note 10 Plus (which is also connected directly to the laptop or to a Hub) ..... 2) I can connect my 8TB HD to a USB Hub, which is connected to the laptop, and also access from my phone .... 3) I can connect the 8TB HD to my Anker USB Hub, which is connected to the DeX Station (the original round dock) .... and 4) I can connect the 8TB HD directly to my Note 10 Plus. All four of these methods allow me to access the 8TB HD from my phone. Amazing technology ... !!!

ex fat makes no sense at all for that big HDD only NTFS do, but that isnt supported by android... except for some older androids with custom kernels..
I remember using an app off the Play Store to let my S4 read my 2TB NTFS drive, those were some fun times.
