8525 only recognizing 1gb on 2gb MicroSD - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories

I've searched for this topic and have only found pricing and best performance topics.
There seems to be many people successfully using the 2gb card. What can I do? I've tried reformating with programs like Pocket Mechanic and using the card reader. I've tried fat16 and fat32 using different cluster sizes.
The card works perfect, no recognizing problems, reads and writes fine but it only recognizes 1gb. Am I doing something wrong?
This is REALLY frustrating, will upgrading the rom to 2.06 fix this AT ALL? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

Btw I have a SanDisk 2gb MicroSD (non ultra).

Did you buy it off of eBay?
If you did you need to make sure that it's a "real" Sandisk 2gb (search eBay for info). If it is, you might have lost the format and that is not easy to re-format unless you get the proper software tools. You will need to search the net for a fix. On the other hand you might have an expensive "1gb" card (hope not).
Good Luck!

I also bought a Sandisk 2GB from Ebay but it works perfectly fine. You probably need to format it.

when you format it on your pc ( I recommend you do this) make sure to format with fat32 and ALWAYS give the volume a name (something like "sd card") I had the same problem on my TyTN an using a volume name resolved it. Not sure why this works but it does.

Hi, all you need to do is search for a program call HP USB Disk Storage format tool. It will help you format any mem card. if you have a realy 2gb card it will formart it.

yeah, there has been a problem with fake cards being sold on ebay..

Yes
I agree with JamesHolden
I highly recommend you dont buy Sandisk cards off ebay especially the Ultra ones, a huge amount of them are fake. Just dont want u guys to get scammed. Problem is alot of them do not work with the 8525 in some way or another.

Absolutely,the other day I was reading of reports confirming that the cards can be programmed to show 2 GB even though they cannot handle more than 512MB....Buyers beware...Try Amazon,NewEgg,Meritline.com,Slickdeals.net!

Yep

2gb SD from A-data and Expansys: compatible? Any good?

Has anyone tried the 2gb SD cards from A-data or the ones from Expansys? I would like to know if they're compatible with the qtek 9090.
They're supposed to be high-speed but I guess that won't make much difference if the device doesn't support this. Doesn't matter, I just want to know if it'll work or not.
Also, does anyone have any experience with the reliability of these cards? They don't explode after two and a half read/write operations or anything?

I never try that brand but im using 2GB from sandisk on my BA it work fine...
I have a 1GB A-DATA 60x speed and have no problems. :wink:
GREAT, thank you both -- dankjewel and dakujem (hope this is correct, jozefr). God I love this forum!
yes it's correct DAKUJEM = THANKS :wink:
btw if you get the 2GB A-DATA let me know if it's really ok, i'm thinking about upgrading from 1GB to 2GB too. And the A-DATA 150x is the one i think i buy too :wink:
there is a 4GB card available as well http://cgi.ebay.com/New-150X-AData-...yZ103409QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Just wondering if any of you had used a Kingston 64mb card. It seems that it only works whenever it wants in my BA, but works just fine when i use it with a readon on my PC. Just trying to figure out if it's the phone or it's time to get a new card.
Thanks in advance ...
The 2Gb ADATA 150x card DOES work!
And I think I read that someone used the 4gig model also succesfull...Dont know the thread anymore...? :?

In theory you should be able to use any size of card. The card itself handes the physical addressing, so things like the 137 GB limits of IDE should be a thing of the past. If the device has an issue with it, it's because the device is buggy.

2gb Micro sd - $19, 4gb Micro sd - $39 (Save $10 via google checkout)

I found a 2gb Micro sd for $19
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4152649
And the 4gb Micro sd for $39 (Dont know whether it works with the 8525)
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4159987
They are sold out but you can do a order and once its available, they ship it to you..
I ordered the 2gb using google checkout for $9.99 plus shipping and also the 4gb using google check for $30 plus shipping.
They say that it will b available in the nex 2 weeks time!!I wonder if they sold atleast one such coby 2GB microSD card cos I have been scanning all da deals for a 2GB microSD for quite some time now!!
do we know definately one way or the other whether the Hermes supports a 4GB microSD card?

From samewhere, I've read that base for 4gb is different from 2 gbm should be just a little bit more big.

They have put the wrong card type on their site but the info still stands, ring the helpline and they will confirm it.
Don't be excited by HTC FAQ! The answers are common for all the models. I bet that answer was written way before TyTN out, or even before SD 2.0 specs.
Did you ever see a TyTN with WM2003SE? So why don't you ask yourself why it is mentioned in the answer for TyTN then...

If it's not a SHDC card it should work... And I do believ it's quite unlikely we will see soon SDHC micro SD cards or phones (They are more targeted at cameras)
So all in all I think it will work. Anyway given the price I'll buy one just to try
2+GB cards
Hi I have asked the HTC support and here is their answer:
Hi,
I would like to know the maximum card size it will handle. I have found
this information on the HTC website:
*************
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/faq.html?id=29
Support: HTC TyTN
What is the maximum SD card size compatible with my device?
For Win CE 2003 =>General for SDIO is 1GB.
For WM 5.0 => SD Card is 4GB and Mini-SD is 12GB
****************
But is it a strange answer, most probably not written about this device.
The TyTN does not have Mini-SD but micro-SD AND it never had WinCE 2003.
So what is the maximum card capacity it can handle? Thanks.
Another (quick) question is if there is a difference between TyTN and Hermes. Aren't they the same?
Thanks for your answers.

Dear Customer,
I will attempt to answer each of your questions in turn:
Memory Card Capacity
There is a typo on our website which lists the maximum storage card size as 12gb. This is incorrect. The maximum memory our devices can hold is 2gb. The devices do not support the SDHC formatting measure, and as such, larger cards are not compatible.
TyTN vs. Hermes
These devices are identical. The Hermes is the pre-release name for the TyTN. There are no differences between the two.
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,
James-Lee Breen

I hope it will help others, too.
But yet there are guys using 4Gb mini cards in their Trinitys, I believe it was...
Once again proving that the help from the manufacturer is worthless.
Not for nothing, but I went through this with quite a few Motorola phones... and each time they told me the newer, higher capacity card wouldn't work. And, in all but one instance were they right.
I mean, if the 4Gb card hasn't even been released, how would they know whether or not it works? More likely that should say "The maximum memory we have tested our devices to hold is 2Gb"
Anyone know if this is a good card?
Does anyone know how much extra it is to ship to Canada?
EDIT: I just called, and shipping is going to be about $30 US...what a deal breaker...Damn it. It's because they use UPS and they charge like $20+ brokerage fee.
I ordered one.
If it actually ships... I'll post up my results when I get it (I've had 2 backorders for teh 4Gb micro card fall through up till now).
Specification of SD cards allows max 2GB(doesnt matter if SD, miniSD, microSD), but fortunately dont know how it can somehow fake fs and os to access 4GB - maybe thru operating system i really dont know but it works. Best for answer to this Quest. could be mammaich igues. At least I hope it will be SD not SDHC. but let us know
I've got a 4Gb SD card I bought about a year ago... says nothing about the "HC" on the card or in the literature, and it worked fine with the devices I needed it to work with... devices whose manufacturers told me it wouldn't work with.
The way I look at it, if it doesn't work in the Hermes, either it will eventually, or the next phone I get it'll work in.
wait and see
I think it all comes down to just waiting until someone sticks one in the Hermes.
And if it doesn't work... maybe there be a hack to make it work.
what I want to see if this doesn't work is for them to come out with a normal (non SHDC) format 4gb (or larger) card.
4gb ... hell I want 12gb

That is true. However, a proper test would be to actually transfer 4gb to the card. Then back and forth to the pc.

Yes I've seen it in the past too, pluggin a larger then specified memory card into devices and it sees the ram space, just can not access it.
Thats what updated roms and patches are for ... and I think this is the right site for this ... just gotta wait and see.
It feels like a year since I've seen 4gb flashmem has been advertised ... and ETA on these?
So, can anyone confirm or deny these work?

8GB Micro SD

Ok, so from my research, the 8GB Micro SD is not yet widely available or even on the shelves (correct me if I wrong). But, according to the various sites I've looked at these size cards are well on there way to being released.
I know the new standard of SDHC SD card are available in 8GB and possibly above, but I have now got a Hermes, so wanted to try going higher in Micro SD. Presently I use both a 2GB and a 4GB Micro SD, depending on what I'm needing to store.
Size wise 4GB it great as options for storage are vast.
But I wanted to see it there was any further news as to the new 8GB or higher that I'd read somewhere?
Having looked on line I could only find the following:
6GB Micro SD
==========
Pre-ordering only?
1: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/SanDisk/6GB/Micro/SDHC/Card
= SanDisk 6GB Micro SDHC Card £69.99
8GB Micro SD
==========
Pre-ordering only?
2: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/SanDisk/8GB/Micro/SDHC/Cardhttp://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/SanDisk/6GB/Micro/SDHC/Card
= SanDisk 8GB Micro SDHC Card £99.99
Since upgrading the Hermes ROM on my phone to WM6 which was purely to allow it to use the 4GB Micro SD I had bought (I swear by SanDisk as have NEVER had a problem with them in over 5 years of assorted SD cards)
Am going to keep looking over the next few weeks and would be interested in any feedback if any others have found any news about higher capacity versions.
I have no idea if WM6 will be able to read higher than 4GB but my guess would be a resounding YES! on the grounds of what I have a feeling is WM6 full? SDHC support. whereas WM5 on the Orange version of the Hermes 'SPV M3100' had only partial support and can only recognize 2GB sized Cards.
N_C
PS: if this post is in the wrong place or out of date can a mod sort it out and remove or move it. Many thanks. Just wanted to share my interest and findings on these Micro beasties thats all.
You accidentally posted the 6GB page, if you change the "6" to "8" in the URL you'll get what you meant for the second post.
Wow thanks for those links can't wait to get my hands on 8GB of freakin memory! I'm very impressed with MicroSDHC and am so glad the Hermes can take the always (albeit gradual) increasing card capacities, without new hardware needed.
Take that, iPhone! (don't worry, i love you too)

The six (6) GB link was intentional bud. I have researched "above and beyond" the 4GB size. Happened to find the 6GB link on same site so added it as I didn't know if like myself others were also unaware of this specification.
Cheers anyway.
You missed his point, your 8gig link is incorrect, it links to the 6gig ad.
Wow, 8G! Wish I had known that before splashing out on an 8G Zen MP3 player.
Thanks for the spot!
Are you sure the hermes does support the micro sdhd?
I wrote yesterday to htc to ask what is the max size of microsd that hermer support, and the follow is the answer:

Good morning
The max size card your device supports is 2GB. It will not support HC (High Capacity) memory cards. Please see our recommended product below:

Teorically an microsd reader could be support the HD format through a firmware update...
Ps: What is the difference betwen micro SDHD and micro SDHC?

When a representative from Orange looked into this on my behalf, he also was told me that HTC was only recommending that the Hermes be used with 2GB Micro SD cards, as that was the limit they (HTC) would guarantee.
When I first tested cards out prior to a firmware update to WM6, the above was indeed true.
However, my Hermes now runs WM6 and uses a 4GB SDHC Micro SD Card on a daily basis without ever having a problem.
I have no idea if this will be true of higher spec cards such as the 6GB or the 8GB or even anything higher, but I feel confident that it will. But that is just my opinion as until tried and tested its down to guesswork whether or not other card sizes will be recognized.
PS: you asked what is the difference between micro SDHD and micro SDHC?
The answer is that I have NEVER heard of Micro SDHD. To me that is a High Definition tag and not one that refers to any card type.
I've only ever known SDHC.
Even Google comes back with: "Did you mean SDHC" Maybe others know of this type of card?

Transcend 4GB SD with Exec loses data randomly --please help.
Hello there,
I read you people are using 4GB SD without any problems, you might solve my problem.
I am using one on my Exec with WM6,(ROM 2.02.02,Radio 1.15, Protocol 42.51.P8, no ext rom) and facing a weird problem.The card loses the data for no apparent reason.The folder viz. My document has just been emptied and I lost my all ebooks--150 MB.
The file explorer shows the card contains 776 Mb data while the 'Resco explorer' shows 1007 Mb,in setting-memory-storage card it shows 1007 Mb,but it actually has only 776 Mb data, so I have lost 150 Mb data permanently and 300 Mb storage space on card!
This is the THIRD time it has happened and on previous occasions I had the card replaced.I am fed up with this problem,is it the card itself or the Exec or the WM6 or the ROM which is causing this problem?
Is there any way to retrieve the data and the memory lost from the card, for I think it is there and it just hidden somewhere...I hope.
I am not a techie,(medical doctor--using Exec more as a PDA than a communicator)hence the lengthy description ,thanks in advance,sorry for the intrusion.
bye.
sorry for the hastles your having
I wish I could help you further but apart from what I have read relating to the Hermes I can't.
I would hazard a guess and say that it sounds more like the Operating System / ROM which perhaps is not handling the card properly.
Best if you put up a new post on the main board and ask for help.
I hope you get it sorted as I know from my own problems similar to your missing card data how really annoying this problem is. I do know that I have had two SD card made by transcend. I used them for 6 months without a hitch. I put movies and files on them both for University and work use and used them in my previous phone which was an English version of the Prophet (Orange SPV M600)
Point is that in my own experience, Transcend are indeed a reliable brand or storage card. So it doesn't sound like a card problem in my opinion. Perhaps you may new to look at updating the ROM? I have no knowledge of your phone model "Exec" so can't help. But as I said best if you ask for help on the board. Maybe on various boards if you've had no luck already. Someone may have previously owned an Exec and might be able to shed some light on this problem.
Kalya-- You need to post your problem on the Universal forums, not the Hermes. There, hopefully, you will get the help you need. Different models react differently to various things. May you find your solutions...

From what I've been told, Sandisk made a deal with Verizon so they are the only approved suppliers in the US for one year. You can buy the 4GB miro SDHC card from them or any Verizon distributor (even Circuit City). However, they are more expensive than Amazon...

64gb Micro SDXC Card ?

Hey guys.
I know that 64GB micro SDXC Cards are no supportet by our X10.
But has someone here testet this ?
http://androidcommunity.com/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-working-on-multiple-android-devices-20110927/
Well, well, well...This would be an early christmas for me if it works. Have been forced to constantly streamline my music collection and dare I say with the new Xperia specs showing just 32GB internal storage and no micro SD card support, I sincerely hope Sony, that if it is true, it is a one off experiment. The average consumer hungers for more storage each time, fact.
Even the newer phones came out these few months only supports 32GB micro SD.
And by the way, I thought all Xperia phones are using micro SD?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Guys I' taking the plunge. If you see the youtube clip from the 1st post, all we need is to format it (probably with a SG SII) which should change the format to fat32 readable by our devices. If it should come to the worst I'll flog it on the SG II xda site or ebay.
Update 14/11/11 64GB micro SDXC Card works flawlessly with X10. Simply insert new card, phone will not recognise the format and will give message that card is damaged. Simply format (which is erase micro sd option on X10) and ENJOY!

It's not about the reformat. It's lower than that.
When id comes to SDcard readers, micro or normal, there are basically two types:
Type 1:
Hardware/firmware-driven, that uses it's own hardware to manage the basic functions of the SD-card and presents is as an UMS device (USB Mass Storage)
The benefit from those readers are less utilisation of the main CPU followed by higher throughput.
The backside is the limited support of what standards it can use.
Type 2:
Software/"dumb" reader. It'll just provide a "physial" connection to the underlying USB-system, and presents it "as is": a SD-card flash memory.
In this "dumb" mode, the Operating system must provide all the routines in order to communicate properly with the attached SD-card.
The benefit with those are full range compatibility with future standards, but it depends on software, drivers and the main CPU, which might result in slightly lower speeds and "sluggishness" as the IO-operations increases.
However, if the OS and the SDHC/SDXC drivers in question is poorly optimised, the hit on the CPU can be drastically high whenever a read/write occurs.
So, which one is prefered then?
It's up to the manufacturers of the hardware and the operating system.
In our case here, Android can use both UMS devices, as well as generic/default SDHC and SDXC flash cards.
In my opinion, the type 2, "dumb" readers, are the "best" ones.
The only limitations of what cards these readers can use, is only limited by the operating system and the kernel modules/drivers provided.
And the "load" on the CPU as generally so small it's often neglectable, provided the drivers and OS is well optimised.
Which type the X10 smartphone uses I cannot tell.
I simply don't know, but it sounds promising, as there haven't been any "corrupted data" reports from the few who are using 64GiB cards...
... yet!
If the X10 smartphone does utilise the type 1 reader, the firmware/hardware based one, it might "kick back", as data stored beyond the 32 GiB limit of the readers limitation, might just "disappear into the void", never reporting any errors.
Users might notice this first when they try to access the previous stored files and finds out the content returned are just a stream of nulls. (null = digital void, nothing, nada, true zero, blank)
If and When this happens, only time can tell.
Someone has to try fill the card "to the brim", and copy back the content verifying everything is correct and proper.
Not just the filenames and filesizes, but also the content itself. (Checksum methods should suffice)
Just to +1 the above post. When the manufacturer states a maximum card size its not what the phone can mount but what it can reliably use. There's a good chance that you'll have corruption if you continue to use it.
Anyone got any news on this?
Does it truly work with all 64 Gibibytes, or is only half of it useful as I suspect?
got ne for myself! Sandisk Class 6 64gb !
Have something like 40gb full. Works well!
Awesome!

can u post some benchmarks and screenshots plz and do you feel any kind of slowness or lag at all?
Nice this is very nice.
Maybe u should go to some IT shop and try it out.
I guess the X10 din show its support with 64G is coz at dat time, 64G micro-SDHC havnt come out yet.

Wish i could -.- but somehow the Phone (or what ever, never took it out!) Corrupted the MicroSD Card!
Then Phone Plays dead with a Corrupted MicroSD Card. Wont start up !
put the Card into SD Card and reade on my computer and that one says corrupted format. Need to reformat -.- But then "Computer cant Format that card" -.-
AND the Card gets ****ing HOT! nearly burnt myself! more than 50°C for sure! Also only shows 30MB space! But i had over 40gb data on it! so its a real one!
Guess i'll got an defective Card -.-
But about the Read/write values. had something like 6-7mb write and 30mb read.

This had to happen when SE said it was compatible with 32gb

Sandisk "Ultra" 64gb SDXC (micro SD) card, Class 10, UHS-1

FYI... Sandisk is now selling an "Ultra" 64gb SDXC (micro SD) card that is rated Class 10 and is UHS 1. The "Ultra" tag refers to their class of cards that have 30MB/second read speed (unk. what the write speed is). Sandisk also has an "Extreme Pro" class of cards that have 95MB/second read speed, but the largest "Extreme Pro" in micro SDXC is currently 16gb. If you shop hard, you can find the 64gb "Ultra" SDXC card for less than $60 currently.
It's been previously reported that Razr supports SDXC cards, including 64gb (see this thread).
For anyone who might buy one, a word of caution. Put it in your Razr and format it there first before trying to use it on your PC. I'm not sure whether I received a defective card, or I somehow ruined my card by trying to format it to FAT32 on a Windows machine (using Paragon Partition Manager). I spent hours screwing with it before giving up and returning it to the seller.
I have the same 32gb version in my razr right now and it runs great. I assume the 64gb one wouldn't be any different.
Got mine for $23 on Amazon. Couldn't pass it up for that price.

I just picked up one of these as well. Quick question, I have the option to use either a internal SD card slot (Macbook pro) or a USB adapter (MicroSD --> USB dongle). Which one will provide faster transfer rates?
I would love one of these. Just too much for me right now.

It depends...
Is your USB adapter USB 2.0?
I typically use the SD Card slot with the adapter provided with the micro SD card.
USB for transfer unless you have a good adapter can be slower.
I use one 32gb class 10, works fine.

Have you tried a HD 1080p recording on your 32gb class 10 card ? , if yes - did you find any difference when you tried the same recording on a class 4 ( assuming 30 fps and standard cache)?
Got my one for a few weeks, phone has never been so slow.
Not faulty (tested the card multiple times) - anyone else having issues? I feel like I have a Galaxy S1. Just weird behaviour - Swype takes forever for k/b to appear, winamp takes forever for thumbnails for albums to appear - just apalling performance from my phone.

Try this... format the SD card from ur phone... increase the cache size of the card and give it a try..

Thanks dude - how does one increase the cache size though? Is this some kind of repartitioning or a bit easier?
Anyone know how to increase cache size?

You can root and use Rom toolbox.

I couldn't mount it or format it. My RAZR kept saying it was damaged. So, I formatted it in my PC first and all is well.
If you're under Windows XP, you'll need to have a program to do this. I used EaseUS Partition Master which you can get for free at http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html.
So far, the card works great and it's nice to have more room for DLC and songs.
I own this card.
It was a pain in the ass to format, but once I formatted it a few times, it worked great.
64gb picked up for like 70$ shipped from ebay. All my Community, Walking Dead and music and SO much more. Couldnt be happier
I just orderd sandisk ultra 16gb and I will probably recieve it next week. I have atm 8gb class 4 card and I want to move all of my stuff from my 8gb card to my 16gb, what is the best way to do it?
Also do I need to do anything before I use it on my phone? Do I need to format it in my PC?

You can simply put it in the phone. No need to do anything beforehand. If it requires you to format, the phone will tell you to do so.
I've given up completely on trying to get this to work in my phone. The phone will recognize it as 64GB, but will freeze up on numerous occasions even if I'm not accessing it. Does no one else have the freezing issue? Running Flick 5.0 Tornado
So what's the concensus on this "extreme" cards' performance while in the phone? Are backups faster? Transferring files to/from a dekstop while connected via USB faster?
