I think that's the problem... The stock T-Mo ROM won't recognize higher capacity cards. You can try flashing (installing) the HTC 1.33 ROM or Kavana's/rickwyatt's 6.1 ROMs to enable usage of a larger card.
2 Gig is not a SDHC amount, the T-Mo Rom Should accept it.
Can you put the card in an adapter and access it from your PC?
(To Make sure the card is not corrupt?)
yeh i have a couple files on it that i put on it just so there was something on the card. so i know the 2gig card isnt bad.
Try this first before you put on a new ROM (although you really should put on a new ROM):

I know WM6 should work with 2GB from the start. I've sometimes heard that the brand of card could be the culprit. Which brand are you using?

It is *supposed* to enable SDHC support (cards that are larger than 2GB). I never had the issue as I went with a non-Tmobile ROM (SDHC support is enabled in the non-Tmobile 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs by default) from the get-go. It might not have any effect on the threadstarter's problem, but it's something simple to try just in case.
Honestly, it's probably an off-brand card that the threadstarter is trying to use (that would be my guess), but you never know. It could just be a bug in the OS... Maybe the card is formatted wrong...maybe his Dash is having hardware issues...it could be any number of things (just like with desktop computers - this is a computer after all).
try formatting the card, sometimes the companies place files on the card to be read for certain devices. Formatting the card might work for you.
its a pny card...im going to try installing a new ROM and see what happens. i know the card works...it was flawlessly in my friends blackberry pearl.

PNY cards are horrible, more trouble then they are worth. Toshiba makes these cards primarly for Cameras, so putting them in other devices (smartphones) have unpredictable results. Stick with SanDisk, they cost more but are worth it.

Let us know what happens. And thanks for the tip Bupahs! I know I have been eyeing some PNY SDHC cards for costs reasons, and have been curious if anything would work with WM6.1 ... (hence one of the threads I started here on micro sd's )

I picked up a 4GB SanDisk microSD card on Amazon for something like $22 shipped. Are PNY cards that much cheaper?

What a stupid idea to put the card under the SIM and battery. It drives me crazy. And yes, I do all transfers trough the card reader. I do not have neither patience nor desire to watch the activesync processing bar for the hours:-(

I used the sandisc 1GB for very short while with no problem.
Now I have Sandisc 2GB UltraII and everything goes great !(knock the wood)
It's pity that we still do not have 4GB microSD.....well maybe 2007 brings us some news in this direction, but at that moment it will be probably the time to sell Artemis and get a new toy

Sorry buddy but thats a Mini SD, not Micro SD.
cheers for that u saved me some money i was just about to pay for the one i gave the link to saved me some money
There are Micro SD 4GB coming out but they're slated to be Micro SDHC which requires you to have a compatible device. I asked HTC if the Artemis we compatible with it, the answer is no.
i bought a 4gb micro sd card on the cebit and it works in the p3300!
good news!
which one is it? have you been able to fill it all the way, with no problems?
4GB does not mean SDHC
4GB is the limit for a non-HD SD card, and micro-SD is the same "electrically".
I tried a non-HD 4GB SD card on an MDA compact (T-Mobile) that has an OMAP 850 CPU, (like the Artemis) and it works fine. So... non-HD 4GB micro-SD cards should work fine.
It would be great if the HD cards worked, but HD-SC use a different type of addressing (i.e. you have to up the registers in the card in a different way) so it might not work )
What we need is someone to try a SD-HC in another OMAP-850 based device, and see if it works.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_Card#SD_and_SDHC_compatibility_issues
Anyone know anything about micro mmc?

Can you buy a 4Gb non-HD micro-SD card?
Firstly, apologies if you see this twice because I posted this question in the main forum and realised I should have replied to this thread for those subscribed to it. (newbie)
After reading through this thread there's been some advice that suggests you can purchase 4Gb non-ND micro-SD cards, however after searching I can't find any. I realise HD will not work with the Armentis/HTC/Orbit.
If you have a 4Gb card working could you please reply to the post with a link to the actual product, or supply product details.
Many thanks

That's the HC one, which won't work with non-HC equipment, and the HTC etc don't support HC (sorry I wrote "HD" in earlier post).

LOL, I use a 4 GB MMC Card since 1,5 years in my Magician without problems at all...
Still there is a little hope. Nobody ever stated that Trinity will work with mini SDHC cards. Nevertheless actually it supports this format. WM6 based customized roms made for 3600 do contain new card driver fully supporting SDHC. Though it is compatible with WM6 OS only.
I purchased a 4gb SDHC card (Sandisk) for use in my XDA Orbit (Stock WM5). It does not work - not even recognised as having a card inserted. Has anybody confirmed it works with the unofficial WM6 roms?
ok so I am now about to be on my 3rd 32gb Lexar class 10 micro sdhc card. I am thinking that the first two since they were in the same shipment batch that they were just a bad bunch of cards. Just wanted to put the warning out there to you guys. My cards will just show up as corrupted and will not mount. Having to use a forensic software to pull all the non-backed up stuff off right now.
Anyone else having any problems with them?
I havent tried Lexar but I did buy a 32gig Class 10 Patriot and it has worked flawlessly so far
I have the lexar one and it works fine.
just warning you...37 days into this card and it failed....the first one lasted a little over 2 weeks.
back up, thats all I am saying
I got one coming... i'll see how it goes

Thx. I decided to try the Patriot version instead (not that it has any better reviews, but a few Atrix owners have reported success with it). Cheers.
Been running lexar since first week had the phone, no problems yet. What batch yours come out of? Also, ordered from provantage, shipped from new jersey or georgia one, will have to double check.
couldnt tell ya. I do know it was the very first shipment of them that came into our store like a week or two after CES. Im just thinking it was just a bad first batch. 3rd one is going fine so far...
I got mine through Beach Audio via Amazon. It's been working fine so far.
I got my Lexar class 10 a few weeks before the Atrix, it has been in the phone since the first boot and has worked great.
There is a known issue with micro sdhc cards with the atrix. Just like with the windows phone. Motorola is supposed to be coming out with an update to fix the issue.

What kind of prices are you guys finding on these SD cards? It seems silly to me to buy a single 32gb card for $100~ when you can get 3-4 16gb cards for the same price.

The highest capacity model of any data storage device always has a higher per unit of storage cost than lesser models... but it also holds the most. You've got to pay to play.
If you wanted to have access to 32 gb of data, you wouldn't want to be swapping out two 16 gb cards as needed to get that capacity would you? To me, that seems silly.

And I understand that. For me personally, taking 15 seconds to swap an SD card isn't really a big deal, especially since with this phone (thank science), the card slot is easily available under the battery cover, instead of the battery itself.
But, if I can get a decent price on a 32gb card I'm all for it. The price difference just doesn't seem worth it (to me) to save the 15 seconds
If you want to carry all 32gb with you, where di you put the extra 16gb card? It gets old remembering to put accessories in your pocket.

Anyone else getting VERY SLOW transfers speeds with this card? Average I'm getting is 3.5mb/sec which is well below normal!! Therefore, it takes awhile to transfer a movie from my PC.

Like I said, it's really all about personal preferrence. I carry a shoulder bag around with me everywhere I go, so remembering accessories isn't really an issue. I always have my Lapdock, charger, bluetooth mouse, etc. with me at all times. This phone replaced any need I had for a netbook.
Still no word on prices people have got for these?

It has to be certain model.. just google it which model and class it is before buying.. many people have posted before which class works and which dont.. very easy, no problem...
In my experience it's MORE picky. I had a working compatible SanDisk card (correct type) before Mango which refuses to work after updating. A few others seem to be having the same problem.
My suggestion is not risking wasting the money on a card, try and make do with the 16Gb until it's time for a new phone.

Did you buy an item that was sold by Amazon of from another vendor on Amazon? Did you suspect that the cards you bought were fakes or did you just get bad ones. I would be wary of buying this card again if I had two failures unless I could attribute the failures to being a fake Sandisk and I was sure that the 3rd was the real deal.

Nothing about the first two gave me the feeling they were fake. The first one I purchased from the Amazon Market, the second direct from Amazon. While copying files on my PC, they both started out at the same speed as my old class 4 16GB card. by the time they made it to 12GB, they had slowed to a crawl and then completely failed. At that point, they both died and couldn't even be formatted.
I will give it one last try with BUY.COM, if I have the same issue again, I am sending it back and buying a 32GB card.

Hi there,
if you like to know I am right now in the same situation. I buy a Sandisk microSDXC 64GB and the first time I put that card in my OLD card reader the PC recognize the card immediately, so to test the card I start copy a file .iso of 6.5GB into the card and then completely failed less than 6.5GB. Now I can't format the card, no way. I try with SD Formatter 3.1, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.1.8, Gparted Live, CMD from Windows 7, no way to format the card. I can only delete the wrong partitions. All the app see the full capacity card but I can't format the f....ng card. I made few research and somebody said I have to have Card Reader fit in with SDXC. All the devices which you use have to be compatible with SDXC, if not you have problems. That is not what I say, that is what the other people saying. I just don't understand why my PC recognize the card with my old card reader and then failed to copy the file and now I can't format the card, something wrong with this stuff.
Anyway, to be fully sure I buyed the Mobilelite G3 Kingston Card reader so I let you know when I get it if something change!
I hate this stuff, but I need this stuff!
Today I received the reader SDXC, no luck, all the same, I have to send back the card, so probably was not the reader the problem, this cards are **** and I don't know why?
If anyone know something about this cards, please let me know, thanks.

which device do you use? Do you formatted the card in different system file (NTFS, FAT32)? The old device see the card?
I purchased the 64gb card. used the adapter that came with it and it was recognized by my PC immediately (used the PC to format in exFat).
I also had another USB style adapter that I used to plug my old 32gb class 6 card into. I had that connected to my PC as well.
Then i just transferred all the files from the 32 over onto the 64 using my PC, and popped the 64gb card into my phone after the files were all transferred.
I can plug my Galaxy 3 into my PC using USB and it'll recognize by my card memory and phone memory separately.
