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.

4GB SD card...
I am using 4GB cards of several brands (A-Data, SanDisk, Transcend etc.) with my BlueAngel without any kind of problem....
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.
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
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.
Hello, So I just got the LG E370, and was wondering about the memory card limit. Now I read it states that the biggest card it accepts is a 64gb card, but then that ventures into the realm of SDXC. And SDXC has a limit of 2TB, So would I not be able to install a 2TB microsd card (assuming one was able to obtain such a card)?Would it be a software limitation or am I misunderstanding the size limitations of cards. I know SD is up to 2GB, SDHC is 4GB to 32GB, and from what i've ever dealt with, anything that can accept a 4gb can acccept both a 2gb, and a 32gb card. So why would the phone not be able to accept beyond the 64gb while it's still in same format?.
Thanks in advance.
