That link sucks.
i dont think it wil work. 4 GB transflash is only SDHC... at least in Star Trek it is imho impossible to use

They also sell non SDHC.. So it's a buggy crap, but some people claim it works. I tried one made by Dysan, actualy it was 3.9GB. It worked in STR TRK, until I reached the maximum. Then all data was like lost.
MrMiguel: rather get a 1GB SD card. Not sure for what you need so much space. I have 2x 1GB SD and it works fine. If I know I will make demos, I change the card in my phone.

It's such a pain to change out the MicroSD cards in this phone, though. That is the point of having the largest one you can get.
Obsolete
The hardware requirements are different for SDHC cards. The 8525 actually has a SDHC card reader (32GB), but WM5 only supported regular SD (2GB max). When people cooked WM6 ROMs for the 8525, they made sure to include new SDHC drivers, allowing up to 32GB cards.
I'm not sure what type of card reader hardware the 3125 has, but it seems likely it is only a regular SD reader, as the 3125 is more similar to the 8125 than the 8525. The 8125 only has a regular SD reader. Even if the 3125 does have hardware support for SDHC, it doesn't seem all that likely that there will ever be a WM6 ROM for it, as HTC isn't releasing one, and the developer community here doesn't seem that motivated.
The limitation is not on the OS at least as far as reading 4gb is concerned. As long as the card is not sdhc. I have a 4gb sd card fully loaded with 3.5gb+ data and programs. My htc universal has no problems reading and writing to it. Very fast, too. Even my old Toshiba E800 sees all the circa 3.98 gb in both read and write mode. There are even 8gb non sdhc cards out. I have not tried them but people who report that they work just fine. I have not seen a transflash 4gb card that is non sdhc, but I have no doubt it exists.
"Jozer99 . . . The hardware requirements are different for SDHC cards."
The HTC Universal was shipped as Non-SDHC, however the latest ROM's have been providing SDHC with the existing hardware. It seems to be more an issue of the drivers, not the hardware.
any news?
I still have a 4GB card lying around, I'd like to use it. Is it possible?

I would also like an answer to this question. Here is a link that claims it does:
http://store.wmexperts.com/content/accessories/7-128--2803.htm
I have an 8525 running this 4GB card but it is running WM6 and someone said that is the only way to get 8525 to read this card. If true that means WM6 would also be req'd on the StrTrk. I'm interested because my daughter wants a decent Cingular phone that will store 4GB of MP3's. If it does I will buy her an 3125.

Cingular 3125 is pretty crappy for listening to music. Buy a simpler MP3 phone. The headphone jack on the 3125 is proprietary, and the included earbuds are awful. The music player is Windows Media Player, which is somewhat buggy, occasionally skips and crashes.
The hardware requirements ARE different. HTC shipped many devices with SDHC card slots, but with OS support for only regular SD. However, some older HTC devices actually DID have SD only slots, so it is not possible to use SDHC cards with them. HTC hasn't really released device specs, so the only way to know for sure will be to port WM6 and see if it works.

Please tell us: what kind of card? SDHC or non-standard SD?
This is what HTC.wiki says:
microSD slot NOT capable of SDHC; maximum theoretical capacity is 4GB, which has been confirmed through several reports from HTC, wherein they stated the phone has been "tested up to 4GB". Though user reports of this are not present, 4GB non-SDHC microSD cards are rare as well.
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Qtek+8500+Specs?t=anon
so maximum capacity is 4 GB THEORETICALLY!! They have no user reports till now! What do you say?
Found this cab for SDHC for smartphones:

Does it really work with your SDHC and StarTrek so I can buy one for me, too?
Micro SD 2 GB
I am using 2 Gb micro SD in my Dopod S301. Its working fine. I have yet not seen a 4Gb micro SD. If you have one I think you can use it !!!
I tried the SDHC Support Kit on my 3125 and it didn't work. And still haven't found a 4 gig non SDHC card yet. hopefully someone will come out with one soon, or a hack that would allow an SDHC card to work.
Nokia MU-41 4GB microSD card
The Nokia MU-41 4GB microSD card appears to be non-SDHC, as the pictures of it do not show HC on it, even though sellers of it advertise it as SDHC (see here for example) - but ad blurbs often say "High Capacity" - well, yes, it is High Capacity, but maybe it is not Secure Digital High Capacity, and there is a difference that is more than just FAT32 formatting, as can be seen by trying to use an SDHC card in an older card reader on a PC - won't work - got to use one that is SDHC 2.0 compatible.
The Sandisk website has a good explanation of the differences:
"The SD High Capacity (SDHCTM) card, miniSD High Capacity (miniSDHCTM) card, and microSD High Capacity (microSDHCTM) card are the new SD™ memory cards based on the SDA 2.00 specification, introduced by the SD Card Association. This new SDA 2.00 specification enables SD cards to reach higher capacities: 4GB - 32GB*.
Because SDHC, miniSDHC, and microSDHC cards are recognized by new SDHC, miniSDHC, microSDHC host devices differently than standard SD, miniSD, and microSD cards, they are [FONT=Tahoma,Tahoma]not [/FONT]backwards compatible with legacy SD, miniSD, and microSD format host devices. Standard SD, miniSD, and microSD cards are forward compatible with new SDHC, miniSDHC, and microSDHC host devices.
Legacy SD/miniSD/microSD host devices and SD/miniSD/microSD cards (up to 2GB) are FAT 16 file system compatible, while the new SDA version 2.00 file system specification defines a SD FAT 32 file system for the new SDHC/miniSDHC/microSDHC host devices and cards.
Be aware of non-SDA 2.00 specification compliant SD 4GB, miniSD 4GB, and microSD 4GB cards on the market. If these non-compliant SD/miniSD/microSD 4GB cards record data in a SDHC host, and are then used in a legacy SD/miniSD/microSD host, issues and problems may occur. File system incompatibility, data corruption, and potentially you may actually lose the data/pictures. In addition, if these non-compliant SD/miniSD/microSD 4GB cards are inserted into a legacy SD/miniSD/microSD host device, the host device may not recognize/utilize the card as 4GB, and it instead may read as a 2GB card. If the SD/miniSD/microSD 4GB card does not have SDHC/miniSDHC/microSDHC on it, it is not SD 2.00 compliant.More SDHC, miniSDHC, microSDHC compatible devices are expected to be available in 2007. To ensure compatibility, look for the SDHC/miniSDHC/microSDHC logo on cards and host devices (cameras, camcorders, etc.)"
Based on this, I am hopeful that a 4GB microSD that is NOT labeled with the SDHC logo (like the Nokia MU-41), may work with older devices such as the StarTrek. I know there are 4GB miniSD cards that are non-SDHC, because I have one, and it works fine in my 8125, where an SDHC card will not.
Hi,
Today I bought a new Mini Sd Card for my htc Wizard. But when I put it into my ppc, file explorer doesn't recognize it. Formatting to Fat or Fat32 won't help.
I tried to format it with a photo camera, but no results.
When i put it into the phone, the backlight lights up..
It's not a SDHC card..
Any help is appreciated..
Rindert
Maybe problem with the Card, as its still new get it replaced
Thx for the reply,
But it works perfectly in other devices.
Then you must see if other cards work in your Device if they dont then there is a problem in your Wizard. Check and tell me then i'll tell you what else you can do to run it.
I've put a 256mb card in it, and it shows up in file explorer. So it works..

It has a 2gb capacity, non hc.
I thought thr wizard supported 2 gb sd cards, right?
I have the same trouble, my existing Kingston 2GB card works just fine, I bought two more but they are not recognised by the wizard but my old one still is. The only way I could get them to be seen by the wizard is by using a Low Level Format tool from HDDGuru and having formated it with that popped the card in the wizard which asks to format it. This takes a few seconds and the card is recognised however if I take it out and put it back in again it can't be recognised... my PC can see them in its card reader...
So I figured the Wizard is very particular about how the card is set up with regards to cluster size etc. Just haven't got around to analyzing the card that works to find out the correct set up.
By the way it also might be that I am using a custom ROM and when it formats the card its not doing everything it should
Yes your right it supports 2GB and 2GB card shuld work maybe you shuld still try it getting replaced by a same model or a card of someother company. TC
@ funkycowie
That tool didn't work for me...
@ xda_haseeb
I have a 265mb mini sd card, and it works perfectly in my wizard.
Brand of the 256mb: SanDisk
Brand of the 2gb: Kingston minisd adapter
Maybe Kingston isnt supportedtry getting it replaced with a 2GB Sandisk MiniSD Adapter and then see wht happens. TC
Interesting, my card that works is a Micro SD in a Kingston MiniSD adapter that is 2GB and it works... the other two I bought are micro sd as well but came with SD only adapters and the text on the card although the same has a different serial number which could indicate that they are set up differently to the one that does work.
I have a microsd in a minisd adapter too, but it doesn't work.
I have 2 mini sd adapters, but none of them works.
I also have a micro sd card in a mini sd adapter. The phone doesn't read it at all. The card is a 1 gb kensington micro sd in a san disk adapter. The card was only 4 bucks, so I'm not to disappointed but I wish it would work.

I guess there maybe a compatibility issue b/w two different accesories i.e your using SanDisk adpter and Kingston card try both of a same company i.e both Kingston or both SanDisk. TC
I had a 2 gig no-name brand card that started throwing errors and then stopped being detected in the Wizard. For a week or so I could detect it in the card reader on my PC but not in the phone. Finally it stopped working altogether. I have seen it before. There is circuitry in the card that fails and causes this problem. The card reader I was using was simply not as selective as the Wizard and eventually the Mini-SD failed there too.
Once it failed completely there was simply no bringing it back. Since then I have paid the extra for SanDisk cards (about a dozen) and have had 1 failure that the store happily replaced. In my line of work I learned a long time ago that these cards do fail even under the best of conditions sometimes. I always recommend to anyone with card problems to simply replace a card that throws errors as soon as possible with a card recommended by the manufacturer.
So anyone using a 32gb card in their gtab? I saw a thread about a 16gb class 10 from fry for a good deal, but seriously, a class 10? I'd be happy with a 32 class 4/6. I don't see the need for class 10 yet, but was wonderin what brand 32gb you guys using out there?
Links to where you bought would be great

Micro SDcard - What goes on it?
I'm sure this is a "stupid" question from a newbie...
Last week I installed VEGAn 5.1.1 to the internal SDcard successfully using the instructions (thank you), because at the time I didn't have a micro SDcard. Now I do.
Should I re-install everything (CWM and VEGAn) to the SDcard or leave the card available for something else?
If I leave the installations on the internal SDcard, what will the micro SDcard be used for?
Thanks for your patience!
I bought a class 2 32gb Kingston on ebay for $43. It worked fine for me.
External card erasures
Has anybody had any problems losing data on the external card? I'm installing some movies on a 16G external card, and I've lost the data several times now.
It appears to lose the data when I mount/unmount the internal card for PC access (i.e. when I cable to my computer for file transfer). It seems something in the mount/unmount of the internal card corrupts the external card. I suppose a workaround would be to always remove the external card before cabling, but I shouldn't have to do that, should I?
I'm running VEGAn B5.1 if it matters.

Yes, it is a known problem. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895340
I put all of my music onto the SD card, as well as copying my backups there. (I use titanium backup, which makes a copy into the /sdcard directory, and then I copy it to the external card manually)
I have loaded a bunch of apps on my machine, and am no where near using up the internal memory, so I keep all the apps there. The one thing I am not doing right now is connecting to my work exchange server. I get a lot of email attachments from that channel, so I may use the external card as storage for email attachments, but I do not really need to do that right now.

USB, probably not. I don't know for sure, but probably the limitation will be FAT32. I'm not aware of gTab has NTFS modules, so that's probably going to be the limit for USB, or perhaps there is a 48bit addressing built into the hardware/kernel, then approx 137GB is a limit. Maybe somebody could try to hook up a harddrive into USB and see. But as for the SD card, there is an SD spec.
SD max limit = 4GB
SDHC max limit = 32GB
SDXC max limit = 2TB
generally speaking while there is a 4GB SD card, the implementation of 4GB SD card is spotty at best and some require you to have certain format to work, otherwise the card sometime fail to read/write. So, you won't see much of it, 2GB SD usually be the norm. As far as SDXC goes, it's fairly new, some SDHC controller do support it, but many don't. The pin for all of them are the same so they are backward compatible. I would generally avoid choosing random 4GB SD or 32GB SDHC. Do your research extensively on those card otherwise they may not work w/ your device.

16 internal 32 external minimum 64gb best IT says that in the manual on line. Right now 64gbSDHC are not being made. The manufactures have reserved that for SDHX. I rooted mine to ClocWork and TNT lite added a class 10 32gb SDHC. Have also formatted a Seagate 500GB GO Flex HDD usb 2.0 to Fat 32 496 GB and I load my Movies that are converted to mpeg 3 so I can carry it to work on slow days. I did all this because the stock rom/root kept dropping files and losing apps. I attached a full size media keyboard from Dell that has 2 Usb ports and it works fine also. Mouse did not. It is all carried in a case with a keyboard I got from Amazon. I just LOVE IT.

Actually, that is a decent price for 32GB. Average retail is upwards of $60.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
So far I have not been able to find a card reader for our Galaxy Note 12.2. I want to read this game camera card in the field.
Understand the desire for a more elegant solution but an OTG cable will allow use of any standard USB card reader.
Something like this http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters...2553860&sr=1-1&keywords=cable+matters+3.0+otg
I've seen some readers that support OTG but they look just as bulky as using a cable with a simple card reader and I'm not the type to want am all in one solution.
Would be interested to hear from others what they like to use.

If the camera uses SD card then get a microsd with a sd card adapter for the camera. You can then just pop the microsd card in your Note 12.2.
Or, if you already have a card in the internal slot, perhaps consider one of these. I've been very pleased with mine.
Tried Muzzy's cable but it didn't accept my card reader. Said looking for driver. Tried micro sd in camera but camera would not read it. Seems like only normal SD card works in this camera.

What kind of card reader is it?

It's a SanDisk
I have rechecked the camera and it WILL take micro sd cards and I have tested it today and that feature is working. So I can use the micro SD card and insert into the Note 12.2 for viewing. That will be one solution but I would like to be able to use other size cards in a reader that can be hooked up to the Note 12.2.
I suspect that the fact that it is a multi-reader is the issue. With readers such as the one you have, when plugged into a Windows PC a handful of drive letters pop up because of the different types of cards that are supported. I'm not certain but I suspect that if it were a single card type reader you'd likely be able to use it. Reason I say that is because I use a single type reader without issues.
I dont have a pic of the one I use (I think I left it in my camera bag) but it basically looks like a flash drive and only takes standard SD cards so the tablet doesn't get confused.
Just ordered a couple of these since I keep misplacing my readers. I'll post results when I get the order in next week.
I'll test my card reader tomorrow with my USB OTG adapter, see if that works. It's a multi reader.
MicroSD in an adapter in your camera is fine on a general digital camera, but a no-go for a DSLR.
Edit: Apparently, my cardreader has gone MIA. Wonderful -.-
Muzzy, that Transcends reader that you recommended arrived today and it worked. Much thanks.
LOL! Your order beat mine!
Such is life on a rock in the middle of the pacific. . .
What app are you using to view the card?
I have a SanDisk reader connected via an otg cable (micro usb only) and either es file explorer or my note doesn't like it. Trying to work out which.
I think I used ES file explorer but I am finding that the Transcend has problems reading some external cards. I have 3 game cameras in the woods here and they use different cards. Forgot which one doesn't work with Transcend but I will make a note of it the next time I check the cameras at the end of the month.
So, nearly half a year later, my Cardreader has finally turned up from the infinite depths of my wardrobe closet. :silly:
It's a Hama All-In-One USB2 that cost a whole 10 quid. Works perfectly. https://www.hama.com/00094124/hama-basic-usb-20-multi-card-reader-sd-microsd-cf-ms-xd-black
To follow up on my problem with the Transcend not reading some SD cards . . . . . .It was a Lexar SD HC 4 GB card that it would not read. I reformatted it in my PC to exfat and it is now readable and works good. I do not know the real reason it could not be read before when it was formatted fat. No problems with SanDisk or PNY cards here. Both formatted FAT.

Was it previously formatted to NTFS? Android won't read NTFS.

No, it was FAT before. However, this particular SD card came with the game camera so maybe it had some proprietary file on it that Android didn't like.
