4GB Card - HTC Excalibur

I know the Dash doesn't support 4GB cards... However, anyone find a way around it? Shouldn't it be software based? My brother gave me a 4GB card that wasn't compatible with his Samsung phone, so I figured I'd try to get it to work.

Good luck -- T-Mobile attributes the endless-reboot-looping issue to using cards over 1GB.

i am using a 2 gig with my tmobile dash, and have no problems at all.. like the 1st post, i would love to see a 4gig card work.. good luck!

I use a 2 gig card as well, but had that endless rebooting issue with WM6 & 5 on my Dash. Fortunately, holding the END key during the bootup would jump-start the device; but that doesn't work for everyone. When I contacted T-Mobile support about it, they said they provide support for the device with a 1 gig card, and the endless reboot was a known issue with anything larger the 1 gig. Didn't stop me though FYI -- I've not run into the booting issue since upgrading my device to the HTC WM6 ROM -- though now that I've typed that, it'll probably start happening

i always though the device support was 2 gig.. but oh well.. yeah i am still using t-mobile rom w/wm6 when it was 1st released. (as we speak) i am getting ready too upgrade to the htc rom.. so i wonder if the device will handle a 4gig when using htc rom?

I haven't tried it so I don't know how the phone would handle it, but could you partition it into 2 2g or 4 1g parts?

I've been using 2GB card since day one ( Rogers S621 )
gone from original carrier's WM5 ROM -->> HTC generic WM5 -->> T-Mobile WM6 -->> HTC Generic WM6 ...etc
no problem whatsoever
my advice to those who have problem is:
When upgrade/downgrading ROMs ... take out the SD card & the SIM card altogether ...
leaving it in during the ROM up/down seems to be the cause for the endless boot

Nice try at a guess... but... nope. Had the problem from day 1 with the shipping ROM. This issue isn't always identical for everyone, and some don't run into it at all. Congratulations -- you're one of the lucky ones -- but thanks anyway for sharing your story

chaznet, i just finally made the switch to the ship rom (htc) and i havent seen any reboots.. i installed programs from the card and use it to use customize ringer for contacts... like the other poster said.. might try and take out sim and sd cardd..

Been there, done that... I'm not currently experiencing the issue, but, when I was removing either the SIM card or the SD card had no effect. As I said, pressing the END key during bootup got my device going. This along with the removing the cards, are solutions that work for some users and not others.
The 'endless-reboot' issue has been extensively covered in a dedicated topic, should you wish further clarification do a search and read all about it -- no need to repeat it all here

yes I have read the topic posted from others ... many things could be the culprit ... BUT DEFINITELY NOT BECAUSE OF THE SD CARD BEING OVER 1GB SIZE !! like you've indicated to be !!
heck !! even you yourself indicated what's causing the problem here ... not because of the SD card being larger then 1 GB !!

remove both altogether ... not just either/or

I've no idea what really causes it, that's just what T-Mobile support said, and you can never tell if they're feeding you a story or not. Thanks for your input though

I used to get the random shutdowns and it turned out it was the original battery that came with my T-Mobile Dash. When I switched to the 1200mAh battery I have had no problems whatsoever. I have, since day one, been using a 2GB card, so it can't be the culprit.

4GB cards are SDHC, not for Excalibur
4-32 GB cards are SDHC, a different, no backwards compatible format.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card

Hmmm, that might be the reason then. Thanks. However, as someone here mentioned; is there anyway to format the card into 2 2GBs cards in the compatible format?

Re-read the response, check the Wikipedia link, you'll find the answer has already been provided...

I can't see why not ???
when you plug your card into a reader ( might need an adapter for micro -->> SD size ..etc ). your card is read by the desktop as a separate drive .... use a 3rd party partition program ( partition magic ? ) and do it.
feasible in theory
I don't have a 4GB card to play around ... using 2GB is fine here

SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC 16 GB

I have this microSDHC, and a serious problem, happens to the third time that when i restart my device, is result damaged and I do not see it from computer and from the device, the only way to use it is formatting can any body help me please?
Ps:actualy i,m using Valkyrie_v4.7 FireStorm,it can be caused from the rom?
happened to me exactly as you described.... I didn't know what to do... think i formatted the thing 2 times, but i couldn't get it to work.
so a lay off of it and used my 2GB Nokia microSD for a while... then i decided to check that sucker again, and surprisingly i saw that it worked... i think it got some bad sector (!!!!!) or lost a little amount of storage... but it is working perfectly now.
Mokhlesim!
My Sandisk 16 gb card stoped working too one day. I couldn't read it anymore neither on my HTC TP2 nor my desktops. It was replaced by the shop according to my waranty. The new one works fIne.
I had the same issue, then it couldn't be read or even formatted on any computer at home or work, I even had my Hospital's IT department check it out. But then I found this software and it found and reformatted my 16gb so that it was not trashed, and i haven't had a problem with the card in over a year. I hope this helps.

try going to the site again and go through and make sure you downloaded the right one, I think there are different formatters for different cards. It should work though.

MiniSD Card Issues

Hi,
I have a 4GB SD card and it thinks that it has a total of 200MB on there (Its empty).
I have tried formatting it using my Mac , Linux & via the Desire itself but it continues to believe that its a 200MB MiniSD card.
Does it have a second partition?

ScanDisk I think.
Its the one that came with my HTC Desire a month or two ago.
Its only just messed up.
Do you have anything else that supports MicroSD, could try slotting it into another phone or something and see what that detects.
Yeap, seems like it is defective... especially since you have tried formatting on different OS platforms.
You could try formatting it again using this tool but there's probably won't make any difference
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
EDIT: have you tried formatting the card in a digital camera? might make a difference...
you sad that you did get it 2-3 months ago, then i think you got the warranty left. if you got the warranty left send it back

I had a similar problem with my card last week; it started saying "blank or unsupported SD card". I used the Support link on HTC's website (sorry can't post links as I am new) and raised a ticket. I was asked to call their support number and the person said they would like to get the phone into the repair centre to diagnose the problem. So they sent UPS to come and collect it from me and the phone's now at the service centre.
Hope this helps.

Thats interesting.
Is there anyway to send off just the SD card to who'm ever wether its ScanDisks issues or HTC's and not the entire phone?
Try running the disk management facility in windows (Right click my computer - Manage - Disk Management)
It may have a unformatted disk partition on it hence it isnt showing up the rest of the unallocated space (Most likely if its been used in a MAC and formatted in non FAT).
Delete the unallocated space then run something like HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.
I have just had the same problem where i was missing 500mbs of my SD card and this got it all back

Well, I asked them the same thing as I was looking for HTC to replace the card for me. But they wanted to get the phone in to diagnose whether there was any problem with the phone or OS itself that was causing it.

Sometimes this happens to new cars when they are partitioned incorrectly. What you need to do is download a program called SWISS Knife.
Its a windows app, but you can run it through boot camp or VM fusion, that will detect all the partitions on your card, then you just delete tge partitions and remove and plug your sd back in and Viola!! You have a4GB card again.

SD Card Removed Unexpectedly when Connected to PC?

I've looked around a bit, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like anyone else has my problem.
Long story short, I've got a 8GB Class 4 Sandisk SD card, and it worked well for the first few weeks. However, as of recently, anytime I connect to my PC in any way and try to transfer files over using USB or Bluetooth, it fails due to the unexpected removal of my SD Card. This is without me physically removing it of course.
I've tried formatting using default settings, and I don't know what else to try... can anyone shed some light here?
Have you tried another SD?
If you have and problem is still there, I would try a factory reset.
If after all this effort your problem is still not resolved, then i would say a call to HTC is your best solution as it could be hardware related.
Oh couple more things:
Try a different USB cable.
Try a different port or pc.
Okay, I tried it with the stock microSD 2gb, and I didn't get this problem ... basically it just means I've got a bad 8gb?

Be aware there has been countless reports of fake sandisk SD cards being sold everywhere including eBay and Amazon's market place.
So before purchasing a new card Google how to spot a fake sandisk and it should give you an idea of what to look for or not.
I had also faced this situation ...i changed with class 2...nw it working like charm...

I purchased mine from London Drugs, not sure if you know it, but it is a trustworthy place so I doubt my card is fake.
One more thing for clarification, do you think that setting the phone so that it auto installs to SD could have some effect? I set mine up like that due to the lack of internal storage. Thanks for the responses!

Auto install to SD should have no effect mate.
Also the fake card situation - well they have been sold by legitimate sellers believing them to be genuine, not trying to deceive customers.
Apparently the market has been flooded with them.
I read about it a couple of months back.
Not saying yours is fake, was just saying your average user wouldn't notice at all.

Galaxy S3 Won't recognize any sd cards

Not sure if this is common or not but I have tried everything I can think of, and I don't see anything.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 (brand new, stock build) but everytime I put in an sdcard The settings>storage still says I need to insert it.
I have resigned myself to it being a hardware issue, but I would really like a more pragmatic response
WTF man after 4 years I break with my n1 for this?!?!?!

Got a pre used Galaxy Appolo 15800 and it will not read from sd card. It knows the card is there but will not mount/unmount or format.
Went to shop and tried other cards but still the same.
I am told the phone was on contract to 3 network and althought it has been unlocked the shop man wondered if there was a feature set into the phone by 3 so that reader doesnt work when the phone is unlocked form their network.
along the lines of blowing into the slot, I cut a strip from an old credit card and wiggled it about inside..

Blew in it. Couldn't help but think of this https://xkcd.com/218/

External SD card disappeared...

So I woke up this morning, phone says SD card unplugged, please insert new...knowing that I obviously did not remove my external sd card I then proceed to check
Settings, Storage --> (nothing shows up)
Boot into recovery --> can't mount external SD card
plug it into PC --> nothing shows up
So now the question is, do I have a bad/dead micro SD card or else?
I am on CM10 which is updated nightly, that might have something to do with the SD card, I dont know.
Edit-- missed where you said you already tried directly from computer.
Might just be a dead card.
Unless it is just not being assigned a drive letter on the pc, the card is toast. If you are using windows you can got to the disk management snap in from the administrative tools and see if it is listed at all, if it doesn't show there it is fubar. Easiest way to get there is right click computer, manage, disk management. For linux or mac im sure there is a similar tool but i couldn't tell how to get there or use it.
Which recovery do you have? Same thing happened to me on 6.0.1.4 Touch. Computer still saw the card, so i pulled everything off the card, reformatted with the computer, then changed recovery. Phone saw it after that and no more problems since.

Thats just the nature of flash memory, eventually it does go bad and unlike mechanical drives which often give plenty of warning of impending failure flash rarely does. Granted 2 months is obviously not acceptable it could be just a freak thing or maybe just an inferior brand. It is also highly susceptible to static discharge, especially in a SD card type format where the pins are exposed. Although possible, i doubt a static shock happened inside the phone but it could have possibly been damaged and just took a while to completely fail.

Get a new card...i would also check on any warranty offered by the manufacturer, that goes for OP too. Depending on the brand there may be a 1 year or even lifetime warranty, some of the lesser brands might not have a warranty at all. Although i haven't followed my own advice in this category as the last 2 16 GB micro SD's i've purchased have been fairly cheap class 10's, you more often than not get what you pay for. I would also recommend going for the class 10 cards, not only do they have the fastest transfer speeds (and maybe because of this) they seem to be more reliable then their slower cousins.

Although i haven't followed my own advice in this category as the last 2 16 GB micro SD's i've purchased have been fairly cheap class 10's, you more often than not get what you pay for. I would also recommend going for the class 10 cards, not only do they have the fastest transfer speeds (and maybe because of this) they seem to be more reliable then their slower cousins.

I got mine from SanDisk loL, i would think that's reputable enough.

Although i've never had one of their SD's, Kingston is one of the top tier memory companies and carry lifetime warranties on most (if not all) of their products. At the very least i would expect a year.

In my experience SanDisk is considered a cheapo brand but they have been around long enough to have overcome that reputation. I would imagine they also have a warranty program although i can't speak from personal experience, definitely worth checking into.
Im quite sure that my kingstone sd card is genuine..
Any possibilities that my S3 killed it?

Sorry for my bad english n grammar lol

I don't think SanDisk is a cheapo brand since they have been making great cards for a long time. They have a great warranty program. They will replace anything within a year for sure. I had one that you couldn't read the serial number on so they still replaced it.
SanDisk has a problem by being the most well known microsd, they are faked by chinese companies all the time and those fakes look just like the real ones. Therefore, you buy a fake, paying real prices, that looks real, and you blame SanDisk. I think that was what happened in my experience with a dead card, and they still replaced it.

You can't just format it from "My Computer". You will have to go into device manager and find it, then format it that way. Otherwise it will not work.
