I have an O2 XDA orbit and used to have a 2GB SD card i it which worked fine but I have lost it. I am not looking to buy a new one and the prices have dropped so was thinking about getting a 4 or 8GB card but was wondering if my phone would be able to handle it.
Does anyone know if there is a maximum SD card size we can use in our O2 orbits?
Thanks for your time,
memory
hi,
it supports 4 gb as i have used the same with a 4 gb
a friend of mine uses 8gb, there is a "patch" for it somewhere; dont know the link atm
Obviously the one named wm6 is for wm6, the other is for wm5 (although I think they both work for wm5)
Maximum Storage Card Capacity in O2 Orbit
Hi,
inside my Orbit, a 8GB SHDC card is working. I use the Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 ROM --> the SDHC support is already implemented in this ROM --> no patch needed .
Kind regards,
hqqh
Thanks everyone. I ahve the touch 4.01 so does that have the patch ?

Yes it does.
I just put a new Sandisk 8gb micro sd in my Orbit (using Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 ROM) Works fine, shows as 8gb in Total Commander, but on my today screen (if I'm reading it right) it's indicating it's only 3686mb?
Have you formatted your micro sd card yet? If you decide to make sure you format it with fat32 selected.

No. I tried format from my pc card reader but it won't detect it. I didn't try to format in the Orbit (couldn't find the option) I found another screen (storage memory or some such) where it showed as 8gb, just not the today screen.
the micro sd 4g card doesnt work on xda orbit arte 200 wm 5 regardless if its formated to FAT or FAT 32, however 2g works fine. I suppose this is the reason that on websites its written " expandable memory slot" and the value aint mentioned. If theres any way to 'patch ' it to make 4g work on wm5, i'd be curious 2 know.
btw, has any one managed to use the internet via wi fi on xda orbit arte 200 WM5. what has to b done??? mine connects to the wifi, but is unable to browse the internet for an unknown reason.
have you downloaded the sdhc.cab update here on xda???
Will allow upto 8gig(what I use in my partners orbit) may even allow larger but never tried...just do a search...
It works on ALL PPCc and wm based devices...
I use it in my i-mate pda-n (8gig card) and Orbit (standard rom which is partners) but also try a newer rom with 6.5 as is included...
I use sandisk SDHC 8GB more than 2 years and it work perfect , i have wm6.5.
cheers
32 GB MicroSDCard working without problems for a long time. Prerequisite is the sdhc.cab patch for original roms, in current roms it is mostly included.
Regards!

Can any1 having like for wm 6.5 for o2 xda orbit
???

I Bought a 2gb Sandisk Micro SD card but it doesnt show in the memory section or using any file explorer, the 256mb one i got with the phone does work though.
Ive formatted to fat in windows as it works perfect with xp and OSX even shows it.
ive installed the sd fix from the forum but that doesnt fix my problem. Any Advice other than get another card?
ROM : 3.4.206.2 WWE
Radio : 02.67.90
Protocol : 4.1.13.28
ExtROM 3.4.206.101
Thanks in Advance
I hope you didn't buy a 2GB Micro SDHC card as currently only SD works on the Artemis. I have a 6GB Micro SDHC sitting in a draw, so it's an easy mistake to make. If it's SD, then not sure what the problem is.
It doesnt say on it sdhc, il have to wait till i get home now to find out as i aint got the adapter for it and look at it in windows
Have a few other things:
Double check it's formatted FAT32 < never tried FAT16, but that definitely works . You didn't buy this from China on Ebay did you, I bought a mini SD a couple of years ago as 'genuine Kingston' that only worked on my PC and never worked in my phone. There are some seriously dodgy copies out there.
If it's SDHC it should say on the card itself, so it's probably just SD.
Thought they had to be fat not fat 32
All Working now, dumped it in my camera, took a picture and then put it in the phone and it worked straight away sods law
cheers for the help
hallo sharktech,i also bought a 2 gb sd-card today and it works.
try to take out and in the card. i had same problem with an 512 mb card...
When I started the quest to add SD & CF memory to the WM2003SE X50V I thought I was going to max out at 4GB SD & 8GB CF. Since then I've learned a BUNCH but I have some fundimental questions:
- Using WM2003SE with SDHC drivers, what is the usable SDHC memory?
- What is the limit assuming the drivers can handle?
- If I upgrade to WM6 using Maglite's solution,
- Is it correct that WM6 can directly address more SDHC space?
- How much?
- What is the CF limit using WM2003SE or WM6?
- To get larger capacity SD & CF, is it worth the risk/hassle of upgrading from a functioning WM2003SE to WM6 via Maglite method or using another method?
- Are there other solutions to getting more SD or CF memory capacity?
Regognizing that the questions are the quick and easy part, its the answers that are hard ... thanks in advance for your help.

ok wm2003se does not support sdhc cards and the limit of cf cards would be the highest cap. card that you can buy i think and thats for any rom ver.
if you update to wm6 then you will be able to use sdhc cards 4gb and up but if you stay on wm2003se or update to wm5 then you have a limit of 2gb
Does this mean that 2Gb is the maximum capacity for wm2003se for normal SD cards? ie not SDHC?
I have a 4gb card which is detected by the x50v after a reset but once removed and reinserted will not be read until another hard reset.
Is the capacity issue the cause of this problem?
Thanks
Just for informational purposes I have WM6 A03 (Lennys version) loaded onto both of my X51Vs. Installed on my daily unit I have a Adata 16GB CF card and a Adata 16GB SDHC card with access to all of the memory on both cards. But again I have two X51Vs not X50vs
SD has 4GB max capacity. WM2003SE doesn't have SDHC drivers (I couldn't find). WM5.0 for Axim doesn't have original drivers for SDHC, but you can load non-original driver from aximsite, but it supports SDHC up to 4GB. So if you insert SDHC 8GB than you will see this card as 4GB. WM6.0 for example MagLite edition has SDHC drivers and supports all SDHC cards. Enjoy with WM6.0!
If your using 4gb cards on x50v with wm6.1, sure it works, but its 'laggy'.
I went from wm2003 to wm6.1, and it just lost all its snappiness. Had an extremely hard time downgrading back to wm2003. It was excrcuiatingly slow the first time, then had to do it all over again. Encountered the white screen of death(wsod) many a times along the way, and thought I bricked it for good.
Will just have to settle for the 2gb cards on the x50v running wm2003. Its good enough.
WSOD RECOVERY:
Sometimes you need to do a diagnostic reset/recovery, if the unit stops responding.
"Hold the record/power buttons and then push reset(not the wireless)."
It will run through a diagnostic, and clear the ram or something. After that you can flash the downgrade again.
Ah yes, Get the original files from Dell, some of the files out there seem to be corrupt, you need to rename the 'K' files to WM50. Follow on from the tutoials of how to downgrade.
Whats the maximum memory you have used on your artemis? I currently use 4gb micro sdhc without problem, but I wan't to buy 8gb or 16gb. Just want to ask first if yoou guys have used 8-16gb or even 3gb?
I am using WM6 and the micro sdhc patch.
Thank you
I tried 8 which didn't work
8 gig works fine and I use it extensively to copy data from work to home.
It works so well that I never think about it.
I THINK we can go to 32 gigs now?
8gb Sandisk micro sdhc works fine on mda compact III.
When you change the MicroSD card you have to take the battery out.
Does this hard reset the device?
Thanks in advance

No it doesn't.

you need a sdgc enabled (cooked) rom to use sdhc cards. Official firmware doesn't support those cards. If thats the case all sdhc cards should work. I have a 8 gig caard. Soon 16 GB, 32 does not exist yet.

I have the original WM5 O2 UK Rom on this one.
I dont really need a lot of space, just a bitmore than the 256 I have at the moment, so 1GB or 2GB standard MicroSD will do fine.
Thanks for all your help.
I also have an 8GB SDHC Card and it works fine. But only with the SDHC-Driver.

Hi,
i have bought a 4Go micro SDHC card which does not work native, i downloaded the artemis sdhc cab file and 2 dll's to replace to make the phone to recognise it, but i can't change those dll's (sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll), the phone tells me it's locked...
Can anyone tell me how to unlock it ?
thanks !
jc
Note : i use WM5
To all people of this topic saying that it works fine for them with more than 2 Go : Did you follow this topic :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344338&highlight=SDHC
and did you have to replace those 2 dll's ? And no 'read only' problem ?
ok, thank you for all you answers
A last question, when using the soft reboot mode, i get a red/green/bleu screen, my pc recognise there is something but i can't browse the phone, i'd like to use this mode to replace my dll's... any idea ?

I have the same problem. I bought myself an 8gb SDHC card, not knowing that my device wouldnt recognize it.
Has anyone, yet, found a way to run sdhc on the HTC Wizard? I saw a lot of comments that this isnt a hardware problem, but software, and still none of them saying an exact way to do it, or if its impossible. ...
I`m using the MSD WM6.5 Rom

someone said that one of the ways to enable sdhc on ur device is to install a rom that supports it - is there one for the wiza?

i've found the problem.
It is "hardware" thing, probably sdhc are bigger by ~ 0,5 mm and you must try couple of times to put card the right way.
By the way, you also need Artemis sdhc driver (cab file).
Hi there.
I'm having a very strange problem and could not solve it so far.
I have a T-mobile MDA III. When I wanted to install a new 4GB micro SDHC, I downloaded the patch, ran it on my MDA, rebooted, inserted the memory and it all worked perfectly.
Then I got an HTC P3300 (for spare) and wanted to do the same. Installed the patch, rebooted, inserted the memory... but the phone does not recognise it.
I than ran the "go back", rebooted, inserted the old 2GB memory but now the phone no longer recognises it.
So, the MDA works ok with 4GB memory.
P3300 does not recognise 4GB memory and after "going back" does not recognise 2GB memory.
Without memory the P3300 is pretty much useless.
Can anyone please shed some light on this, please....
Thanks.

This is precisely where I got the .cab's.
And in my MDA everything works fine.
On the P3300 the 4GB memory is not recognised.
And after installing 'back2original', no memory at all is reconised, not even the 2 GB microSD (not SDHC) that I used before.
One more detail:
on MDA I have WM6
on P3300 I have WM5
Is there something specific to WM5 to teawk about?
Thanks.

my advice is to try flashing to a differant rom..

Yeah, I fear that's the only solution.
(btw, why old 2Gb sd cannot be accessed? what happened?)
I've been looking for the official WM6 rom from HTC but it no longer is on the site. Where can I find it?

PS - Links to originals are broken, like a number of others.
Have you tried reading the card on the PC? See how it's partitioned and what kind of partition it is. Usually, you should use FAT.
I had this issue before (on my Polaris) and a format helped.

The microSDHC was (is) formated FAT32 with only one partition. On the PC it worked fine.
Anyway, I flashed a ROM (could not find HTC original WM6 though...), applied the patch and now the 4Gb micro SDHC is working.
Still, I could not explain why, in the first try, the old 2Gb microSD stopped working.
I recon it's working now?
