Hi,
Can anyone tell me if the XDA IIs (BA) is compatible with SDHC cards when upgraded to WM 6.5?
If so, what is the largest SDHC cxard anyone has tried successfully?
Thanks,
independant from the os used, there is no sdhc driver for the blueangel, so none works. the biggest sd card to work in a blueangel is a 4gb sd card, as long as it is not sdhc, there are different brands working, you gotta try for yourself, everything above 4gb is definetely sdhc and will not work.
in my experience 2gb cards work best and are the cheapest anyway, a 4gb card can easily cost 8-10eur while for the same price you get 2gb cards in a three-pack, so having 6gb
HCsd Cards
Thanks Chef_Tony for your response.
Currently I use 2 x 4GB SD cards and 1 x 2GB SD Card. All work reliably although once I dropped my device and after a reset and re-install, I had issues with GPS software freeezing after about 15 minutes.
A re-format of the 4gb card and re-copy apps back and all has worked well since.
Only ask as I have friend who is into IPaq's and when he upgraded from WM2003 to WM 5.0 he was then able to use SDHC Cards.
But, since your response, I won't worry about buying SDHC cards.
yes, that is possible with certain devices, my universal takes sdhc cards too, since it is wm6.1 because it contained a driver to enable sdhc support. but since there is no such driver for the ba (yet) no card above 4gb will be usable.

Hi,
Could everyone post their experiences of using different SD cards, please include any problems experienced and anythingelse that might be useful for a buyer, e.g. what you use the card for, as certain cards work fine but cause problems with some applications e.g. Tom Tom 5 and the fone dialer. Also please include the make, model, price, the where you bought the card and what you use the card for.
The reason for this topic is that, I read in the forums people have had problems with different cards and applications. All this information is spread across the forum. It would be really handy for a buyer (like me) to have a thread like this...
Many Thanks!
At the moment I use an "ADTEC" 256mb card, it works fine with TT3 and does not seem to crash my xda2i, But it is a couple of years old and i am about to get a 512mb card, So it will be interesting for me to see how this thread develops.
Transcend 80x 512MB.
Works perfectly with everything including TomTom.
yeah transend 80x ,but i do think any 80x will work ,but 1 person found the transend 80x worked so i think we all bought them as we were just glad we finally found a working sd card ,well i know i was
but it would be interesting to see what other can be used succesfully
I recently bought an Ebuyer own brand 1GB SD card for £32
When it arrived it was actually a Kingston branded card!
I'm not the only person this has happened to...check out the reviews on Ebuyer.
Anyway, I've only had it for about a week but I've had no problems with it so far.
Not really used it exstensively but I've currently got about 300MB worth of music on it.
Good price, Good product I think.
Cheers

I have a Corsair 1GB 40x card. I haven't used it much, and I know virtually nothing about these things... But it works. ~£40 from dabs.com.
i dont have money to buy a new SD Card, so I take my brother camera SD Card. mine one just 256mb and the brand is NCP.
work fine for me.....lagging for 2 seconds when incoming call...after that its ok.....but i dont recommended to others!
Have A-Data 150x SD 2Gb card. Works fine. No delays or such, even on moves, even on incoming calls.
Transcend 80x 1GB........... No problem whatsoever... even when running TomTom Navigator 5
Take back what I previously said. I can't access the card on my PDA now - it simply doesn't show up
Not sure if it's the PDA or the card because I've only just realised and I don't have a card reader at work...will have to try when I get home and update then.
Cheers
Wayne
I'm sending the card back under warranty.
Also, it wasn't a Kingston...it was Viking branded card (not sure where I got the Kingston from )
Cheers

what about pretec 133x 1gb? anyone tried it b4? Do we just judge the speed? if it is above 80x it would work fine?
thanks everyone for youre input. ive ordered a ridata 1GB SD card. its a 66x speed card. i read somewhere cant remember where now that tomtom needs a 10mbs card which is 66x speed which my main reason for buying the card will let you know how it goes when i receive the card.
Negative experience
Hi,
I bought a 1GB 66x BRAVO SD Card at Ebay.
Since then, my Alpine crashes over and over again.
I Soft reset it 5-10 times a day!
I guess it's the SD Card's fault as the device never crashes without the card.
Hi!
I have my XDA IIi for about 2 weeks now. So far I didn't have any problems with my SD-Cards.
I have a 256MB SD Card extrememory (no fancy speed...) that works quite well. I used it several days without problems and now have placed my rom backup on it.
The other SD Card I now use mainly for my XDA IIi is a 2GB Card from Transcent (150x). Until now I didn't had any strange problems with it (used it for about one and a half week).
I've finally found an SD card that works with Tomtom5 without crashing - it the Transcend 80x SD Card.
I've tried loads of others some better than others, but all crashed within minutes of starting TT5 except the Transcend.
Some other SD Cards were fine running Tomtom 3, but would not run Tomtom5 as all.
I've had the following cards that cause TT5 to crash:-
Kingston Ultimate 133x 512Mb
Kingston Elite 80x 512Mb
Scandisk 512Mb
The only other card that I've had that didn't cause TT5 to crash was :-
Compaq 128Mb (speed unknown as it came with an iPaq) but not big enough.

Sorry alinoorahman - I fear I got to disappoint you :? I got a ridata card as well (256 MB, 66x). I also encounter the problem that it`s only available randomly.
Btw: 1GB extrememory won`t work neither :evil: big ****e
4gb sd card
wil a 4gb sd card work with an xda 11i or an exec??????
RE: SD Card with Alpine
Hi All,
I use a Zynet 1Gb 68x and my TomTom only has a problem with incoming calls. freezing to solve it, I turn my BT GPS on and off and this fixes it.
My friend is using a Qtek 2020i with Tomtom and a Transcend 1Gb 80x,
he has the same problem as me.
I don't know if the new 1.04 Radio version would help or not, when I get the energy I will upgrade my XDA IIi to this and test.
My opinion is that the Alpine has an internal power problem, as it only occurs with Bluetooth on, causing a power drain when a call is received thus your SD card briefly loses power. Its only a theory, the weight is towards some sort of design fault with the Alpine, otherwise one of the Carries etc would have sourced an answer by now, as the Alpine has been out long enough now. We cannot blame SD cards which work perfectly well with the majority of other electrical devices on the market.
hello..i got a 1 gb sandisk sd card which works fine in my qtek 2020i and i also use tom tom 5 with this and a 1gb pny sd card as well.
i never new there was all these problems with sd cards :shock:, saying that i always bought sandisk and they have not let me down before with this ppc phone or my past ppc phone like the spv m1000.
Hey guys I`ve bought an Alpine and I want to put a 4GB SD Card in it??
Do you think, it works? Or is the maximium 2 GB, which works in Alpine?
CU
4 gb cards work......mostly.
I've used both the A-Data and the Transcend 4 GB cards on my Alpine. There is only one problem I've experienced. If your 4 GB card is less than half full (i.e. available storage is > 2gb), AND you've configured your camera to save the pictures you take to the SD card directly, then you may experience an error. The error simply says it can't save the SD card. If you card is more than 50% full of other stuff, then there is no problem using the camera application and saving your picutres directly to the SD Card.
I RARELY use my camera, so I really don't care. Plus, I have enough stuff on my SD card so that it never has more than 2 gb of available storage (i.e. its always more than half full). Consequently, this bug in the camera application is really not much of a nussiance.
ok, thank you very much for your reply...
It work, as I had a Kingston 4GB SD Card
without problems??
can you give me some more details about your sd card??
thank you
A 4Gb will work, but it does depend on the make - since, I'm guessing, cheaper makes use cheaper parts. Kingston and SanDisk seem to be pretty good.
I have a generic (samsung oem perhaps?) 4gb SD card and it works fine apart from it seems to be a tight fit in the slot. No problems with it as yet though.
SD card
I used a topram 4GB mini with adaptor and it did not work.
I then bought a Transcend 4GB MMC+ (plus) and it works like a dream.
I hope this helps you.
Watch out that the card is not a sdhc card. SDHC cards look like normally sd cards, but they dont' work on the Alpine.

all sdhc (high capacity) cards have "sdhc" sign so you can easily discern them
only the newest htc devices support sdhc cards
I'm using 4GB Tanscend SD Card with my alpine
and its working fine
Thanks to the advice here, I bought a 4Gb Transcend MMC plus and it works beautifully.
So much space is a real bonus as I have Tomtom maps of Europe, the whole of the USA, 6 or 7 full movies plus 20 or so albums worth of mp3's still with 500mb free for odds & sods.
Hi,
I am using a HAMA 4GB, and it is working more or less fine.
I don't know if it is a card issue or caused by the heat recently in Austria, but my Nav freezes from time to time.
I have to turn the 2020i off and then on, then it works again.
Some days ago, the card suddenly lost some data....
I have a SanDisk 4GB SD Card, however when I put it into my Alpine it doen't seem to recognise it. It just doesn't show up. Can anyone give me any hints on how to force it to look for it or something like that?
is it (charmer) work with SDHC 4 or 8GB sdcard?
4GB works, I use that
but do you use a normal SD 4GB card or a SDHC 4GB card? thanks
normal 4GB. Charmer doesnt support SDHC
SDHC for Charmer?
SDHC is available for the Artemis now, thanks to a new release by Microsoft.
Any chance for a new Charmer ROM with this driver?
See this thread in the Artemis forum
and this page at Microsoft.
Anyone for any more?
Glad to hear szasza4 has got a 4Gb card to work. Anybody tried a bigger card?
4GB is max for SD. You can get an 8gig SDHC though.
sdhc driver for Charmer
does anybody have sdhc driver for Charmer?
I have wm6 Touch Flo.
4 gb sdhc card. Charmer said "card not installed".
How big storage card xda2 suported and which types of card it will support under wm6 , do big memorycard slow ur xda2 .thanks
If you have SDHC Card, you can help us to try driver in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351811
And then you can feel it
So far I haven't been able to get my 4 GB SD to work on my Hima...... any suggestions are welcome . It's an Emtec btw and it doesn't hold the HC logo, but I also can't use it in my camera so I think it's HC.
2 GB is currently the max I can use.
About the speed: the hardware is basically the bottleneck. I have several speeds up to 150, but there is no (noticable) difference between them in my Hima.
i bought kingsten 2gb sd card and its working perfectly
i bought kingsten 2gb sd card and its working perfectly, the dealer said to me larger then 2gb is not supported by xda2. sorry for my english,thanx all here
Up to 2GB SD card is supported, any SDHC card can and probably will cause problems, either till someone adapts the SDHC driver or till we give up hope.
But IF you're able to use SDHC on Hima, (without messing up any other feature) please tell us how you did it.
I've searched the forum without much luck so hopefully I won't be flamed..
I am looking at getting either an 8G or 18G Sandisk microSDHC with adapter.. but wondered if anyone else had taken the plunge yet?
Thanks
erosco
*bump*
Isn't there anyone out there brave (nee dumb) enough to try out one of these?
Hello i have 8G Sandisk microSDHC Class 6, trinity dont work corectly, when i soft reset access ton the microSDHC is ok, but when long time arrive access to microSDHC is slow. i return to my "old" miniSD 2go an now access is ok.

Hello!
Tried with a sandisk 16GB SDHC micro. I formatted but the Trinity formatted only for 3 GB :-((.I formatted in a notebook for 16 GB, but the HTC saw the card as a 3GB one :-(
Now I should try another mini adapter, because my one is a little old (used for a 2GB microSD)
Any news on this? I just purchased a p3600 and 16 gb would make it the perfect Phone for me.
Someone else had an 8GB SDHC and in the the trin it showed 0gb but he was able to write/read the full 8gb. Maybe you could try to fill your card to the limit too.
I have a SanDisk 16GB SDHC which didnt work with the original ROM (also only saw approx 3 GB). But updating the ROM fixed it and it now works perfectly. So I guess its a driver thing only.
Wohoooo!
16gb sandisk is on it´s way.
which class is the Card (2,4,6)?
i want to know too. im guessing its a class 2.
I couldn´t find any other than class 2 too. So I guess it is class 2 but I decided to go for 8gb first and maybe upgade to 16gb in March/April when I expect the prices to drop because 32gb will be available in stores.
any link for update?
(shall I update the whole ROM or it's just a littla patch?)
working with WM5 only... (don't wanna upgrade for WM6 :-( )
HTC 6300 and SDHC 16G
Hi, My experience (2 days) is the following:
- PDA recognises the SDHC, with 15,5 GB (iso 16G but this is normal)
- I copied from an old backup lots of programs, etc using a PC and all files are seen by PDA and programs work fine...
- BUT I tried to move files and to install in SDHC card directly from PDA and it does not work.
I am now tying to find a driver or something, but not success for the time being.
(I am using a class 6, HTC P6300 with original WM5)
Hi again,
I heve rechecked and the only failing action is the SW installation in SDHC card (both from PC and from cab file).
Any idea about why installation is failing?
Thanks
Hi people,
I was brave enough to buy last week a Sandisk 16 Gb microSDHC class 2 to use on my HTC P3600. I'm using an old miniSD adapter and my cooked ROM is [PTG] WM6.5.3 OS 5.2.23554 (build 23554.5.5.0) by Antix. I have not installed any other custom sdhc drivers. It is using the original ones that come in the ROM.
I never formatted the card. Not on Trinity or PC. So it has the factory format. I just tested with H2testw to confirm that it was indeed a 16Gb card (I bought from ebay-30€) and also the write speed is 5.8Mb/s.
First impression was that the card worked flawlessly with 15185Mb recognized. I took some photos, installed programs directly to the card, all good.
But then I noticed that 1 in 5 times I reboot the phone, I see some missing icons and it says no storage card inserted. The icons are stored on the card that is why I miss them. To solve this I need to reboot the phone again.
Other than that it seems fine until now. I will update this topic if anything different happens.
Still I would like to hear if anyone has a flawless experience with Sandisk 16Gb microSDHC with some other ROM / drivers.
