I have been seeing a lot of 2GB SD cards for sale recently. Does anyone know if they work with the Wallaby line of XDAs, or are the Wallabys maxed out with the 1GB SD cards?
Hmm. I guess no one has tried one yet, and I am afraid I cannot afford to take the risk so will not be trying it myself. Ah well.
Bwah!?!
2Gb! The largest cards I have seen are the 1Gb cards, 2Gb would be very handy if they work.
Hello, I've a 2GB in my XDA1 working quite well. But you should format the card in a CardReader for PC then your XDA can handle the 2GB size. You cannot format the card in your XDA.
Greetings Chris
works well with my xda2...heard that they're already developing (if not released) a 4gb card though...
4 gb cards are out and about,. friend got one for his jasjar - didn't work though (card was faulty - nothing to do with the jasjar!)
when you say "didn't work" does it mean that the machine couldn't access the card? or did it simply not recognize the card or hung trying to access the card? well, that makes me have second thoughts on getting one of them 4-gb cards...
hi,
i've seen 8 gb cards advertised on ebay - does anyone know whether they work with the xda 2i?
Unfortunately, 4Gb is SD card's limit. 8Gb ones have different architecture.
damnit. but thanks for the info

so.. xda2i does support 4gb?
Yes, the HTC Alpine supports the 4GB specification! I use one from Extreme Memory!

cool, cz i am thinking of getting one, currently i am using a 1gb
does it lag or what?
It's simple: I'm looking for an SDHC-support update/hack/driver/other for Blue Angel (Qtek 9090).
Can anybody help me?
Yes, it's rather easy: sell BA, buy sth that supports SDHC out of the box.
More complicated solution: wait until more devices will support SDHC, then sell BA and buy it.
So far we can forget about update of drivers to support SDHC and, what is more probable, device itself is not capable of suppoorting SDHC.
Thanks for you respons even though I don't like the sound of it.
Nothing at all I can do to get my Blue Angel på support SDHC? Nothing?
For sure something can be done
1. Write driver that supports SDHC, if chip inside is capable of reading SDHC cards. If not:
2. Unsolder reader and solder a new one in it's place, that supports SDHC for sure. Then write driver.
In both cases it will be easier and cheaper to just buy new deivce.
BTW: yo you know, that BA reads easily 4GB SD cards, that are not SDHC (a bit out of standard, but still possible)? Maybe it would be enough for you?
Ok. I'll sell the 8 GB SDHC-card and buy another (not HC) SD-card.
Thanks...
From all the technical datasheet I've gathered so far, it's all in the drivers.
Not even the device reader's firmware.
Right now I'm just waiting for a WM5 device that fully supports SDHC so we can lift the driver out of it, but that chance of that is slim as they'll all most liekly be WM6. Anyway, there is a possibility and I'm not giving up that easily.
So when is it possible for a sdhc-driver for Blue Angel to come out? Soon or should I sell my 8 GB SDHC and buy a 4 GB SD?
If you want to have more flash on your BA, you should buy no-SDHC card. Even it there will be any device on WM5 that reads SDHC, there is little chance it will work correctly in WM5 on BA.
And chances of having new device on WM5 are also lower and lower, as WM6 is the mainstream today.
8gb SD
My 8GB SD card (not SDHC) does not work in my BA.
Anyone know if a driver has been released?
Forget about driver. So far.
Where have you bought 8GB SD that is not HC? Any links?
What reader it is compatible with this (rather odd) thing?
8GB SD
fleabay are selling 8gb sd cards.
The readers are sdhc and sd compatible.
prices are around £45 incl reader + del.
what are the chances of a 8gb sd driver?
Does the Athena support SDHC?
AbuGWM5: I don't think there can be SD card that is both SD and SDHC compatible. It's like having a partition formatted both Fat32 and EXT2 at the same time.
hardingt0110: This is BlueAngel forum, isn't it?
The only non HC 8 gig SD cards are MMC. These can be made to work with driver support. It's all in the data transfer. Here's all you ever wanted to know about SD cards http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/samsung-i730-i830-i830w/88442-8-gb-card-hunting-tips.html

I just looked on ebay (US and UK) and all the 8 gig SD cards I saw were SDHC. Have a link to one of these cards that are not SDHC?
8gb SD
Here's the link to the 8gb SD card:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/150X-8GB-OEM-...yZ122613QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Sorry for the mis-understanding: i meant 8gb SD card with a reader that is compatible with SDHC.
MMC just stands for multi-media card. So any memory card falls into that category.
PS buy at your own risk from the above seller he is very slow with delivery approx 4 weeks from USA and his cards may not be x150.
If you really want this 8gb sd card pm me if you'd like to purchase from me.
"8GB Secure Digital™ SD SDHC"
That card will not work in the BA, it's an SDHC card.

MMC is registered name of MultiMediaCard standard, that is separate from SD (but usually compatible), MemoryStick, CompactFlash and other standards.

Thanks jakubd
I'm presently running Toflock WM6 and wanted to install the biggest possible SD card so I can put TT6 UK & Europe plus tons of other stuff without swapping cards.
I was advised in the Hima forum that there were SDHC patches which would enable SDHC. So based on this advice I just bought an Adata 8GB card.
I've tried several patches and nothing works, even the non-HC cards stop working and I have to re-install the Extrom prog to bring it back
So has anyone managed to get a class 6 SHDC card running yet ? If so with what rom etc.
Thanks
i am sorry to tell u this but SDHC is not possible on any Hima YET !!..i released 2 or maybe 3 Patches my self but none of them work...users cant even run 4GB and u bought 8GB..hope its refundable
Okay, I'll just have to keep an eye out for threads about SDHC updates.
In the meantime the Adata 8GB SDHC card will have to serve as a healthy sized flash drive to swap movies / mp3s with friends/family etc.
I've noticed 'non-SDHC' 4gb 50x speed cards on ebay. Has anyone got positive experience of slower speed 4GB cards like this??

Forget it.
Decent 4 GB SD cards from well known manufacturers cost approx. 20 €/$
There is no need for this cheap crap.

I got one SD on 4 GB x150 speed and it works perfect on my himalaya

r u sure?
how? and what product?
billionton, adata or what??
Yes, i'm sure!
It's a Transcend card
I've got an A-Data 4-Gb, pink stiker (it says: myflash, 150x turbo SD 4gb Adata) and it's working well (sure not at 150x, maybe 1x ). To be fair, I have tryed several ones diferent sizes and the bigger they are slower they work, not only on the PDA but in the PC as well.
Have you testet read/write access to the whole 4gb? As far as I know, you can use these cards, but you have no access beyond 2gb.
4GB CARD
I am working with Transcend 4GB Card and the speed is great , No problem at all.
I also use a Transcend 4GB SD and it works great. You can access the full 4Gb. I watch many tv series in my himalaya with tcpmp.
As I said full access to the 4Gb card. I used to travel with my 100Gb 2,5 USB HD, some times I thinks it's a shame there is no app to get acess to it through a kind o USB cable, wuold you imagine?
I have searched the forum and there are many threads about cards that dont work or have problems. We should have a sticky where members of the forum can post cards that work well, the capacity and make.
For example I recently bought a PNY 2GB SD card which works fine and seems to have good data transfer speed but I read that some people have had success with cards up to 8GB? is this true.

*EDIT*
The BA can not read SHDC cards at this time (there isn't a driver available for the card reader, if it's even capable of doing so), so 4 gig is the limit.
jdc said:
Yes it's true.
If you have WM6 and the SHDC driver installed (just about any cooked WM6 and 6.1 ROM has it), the hermes can use an SDHC card without issues. The SDHC standard has a maximum size of 32 gig.

At this point of time, there is no working solution for the 2s / BA to read SDHC
The largest in size and the fastest SD card to use is the Transcend 4GB 150x

For some reason, I was thinking of the hermes, not the BA when I originally posted this. It has been corrected.

TopRAM also make a 4 gig card that works. My only problems with the card are:
The case started to split after removing the card a few too many times. A bit of 'magic' tape took care of that.
Leaving it as one big file system made reading the card in the file explorer a bit on the slow side. I received better read/write speeds by partitioning the card into a pair of two gig 'cards'.
