Sorry but i've tried searching the threads for answer yet with no luck.
Does the 1.13 ROM supports 1gb or higher SD/MMC?
Thanks in advance!
I've been using both 1 and 2 gb Sandisk SD normal and ultra versions without any problems.
Thank you Sir for your reply, It seems i have a problem with my Magician, I upgraded it to the 1.13 ROM and Radio Version, now it couldnt read my 1gb SD.
Im not sure what went wrong, might be restoring my previous ROM. Thanks again.
Before you go to the restoring process, backup your SD card to your PC then try to reformat the SD card using your device then restore the data.
how to reformat our sd with our magician?
Well i have installed version 1.13 radio rom, 2.03TX rom and it work fab with 2gb cards.
cheers Mark
definetely works with 1GB SD... never try 2GB (goz.. should wait bit longer and bought 2GB instead of 1GB!! now memory price is like a peanut)
It does work with 1,2,4 Gb SD Disks but be carefull which brands you buy...
(don't you go for the cheapest SD cards since there's an high chance of not working on your magician).
My advice is to try the SD disk you'll buy BEFORE leaving the store...
Keeper
Most likely the problem is with your SD card, I've tried a lot of cards from 8mb to 4gb in my Magician and all worked fine.
As someone already said, format the card using a PC, and try every card you buy before paying it.
[SOLVED] nvm
I hope you mean MicroSD. MiniSD won't fit.
Turn your phone off, put your current card in your computer, make a folder called backup and cut and paste all the files on your current card into that folder. Then plug your new card in, cut and paste all the files from the backup folder into your new card. Should work perfectly.

That would work if he's on a Linux/Mac system. Windows cannot mount a ext2 partition without extra software.

nandroid doesn't touch the sdcard... only the internal nand (hence the name nandroid)

SD cards larger than 2GB are exclusively SDHC. Since SDHC doesn't come in Mini flavour, i'm guessing he meant Micro

Sorry I did search and I found nothing

My 8gb SD card in my Desire S is almost running out.. I have like 3.4 gb left. I'm planning to buy a 16gb sd card for my phone.. How will i transfer all my files, apps, games, also the save games to the new sd card? Is it only copy paste all the folder to the new SD card? Or i'll backup the apps? When i put the new 16gb SD card on my phone, i want nothing will change, like the same wallpaper, the widgets in the screen, etc.. except the memory of course. I don't wanna reinstall all of them again. Is their a way to do that? Thanks!
Yeah basically that's it .
'Almost running out'? you've near 50% left when you take in that you never get the full 8Gb due to system files etc

have you tried it, copy paste the folders to the new SD card? I heard some people are having problems like they had to redownload all the apps and install it. So, i'm just making sure nothing will change. Can you give me some steps on how to do this without having any problems? Thanks!

It's easiest and quickest to do if you have a card reader but ultimately all you do is copy all files from SD1 to SD2 (via PC)
Best to power off phone (ensure that you have settings->power->fastboot=OFF)
remove SD1
load SD1 into card reader
copy SD1 to a directory on PC
load SD2 into card reader
copy PC (SD1 files) to SD2
replace SD2 in phone
power on phone
nothing will have changed.
If you don't have a card reader then simply do then same but with the SD cards in the phone (mounting SD as Disk), worth Quick Formatting SD2 before you copy files from PC onto it so that its empty.
What if I'm on a custom Rom, like virtuous unity? Will it go back to stock after changing the SD card? And do I have to root the phone again? Thanks!

Sounds ok, although I don't personally know the manufacturer....
The size you want depends on the use that you give phone, if you watch movies often, listen to lots of music or are constantly flashing ROMS therefore taking backups, possibly consider a 32Gb card, I personally believe that you can never have enough space...on SD (obviously depends on budget).
The higher the class the faster/better the card
The current SDHC specification defines Class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 as follows:
Code:
Class Minimum Speed
2 2MB/s
4 4MB/s
6 6MB/s
8 8MB/s
10 10MB/s
1 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes
2 Based on SanDisk internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device.
I thought I read somewhere on the forums that Desire s can't read cards above class 6 at their full speed ( could well be wrong on that).
The cards will work fine just the transfer speeds won't be as stated
Did anyone try this already? I'm just want to make sure that nothing will change, and i won't reinstall anything.. It's such a hassle reinstalling everything. My phone is rooted and on a custom ROM virtuous unity 2.37.. You guys positively sure that when i put the 16gb sd card on my phone, nothing will change? Even the widgets on the screen? I'm getting my sd card this week, so i just wanna make sure. Thanks!

Yes ,it's how I changed from the 8Gb card that came with the phone to the 16Gb I have in it now
Does it matter class of SD card, I mean has any sence in speed of daily work with SD having 10 class or class 2 of default one is enough?

was your phone rooted, and on a custom ROM when you changed the SD card? You just did the steps that ben_pyett posted? You didn't reinstall anything in your phone? Everything was exactly the same like with the old SD card? Sorry for asking too many questions, i just don't wanna reinstall anything again, and i don't wanna fix the homescreen.

As far as I know the card can't transfer at a rate above a class 6 card.Obviously it will accept faster cards but only read/write to them at a class 6 speed

i just bought 2 32 gb cards both class 4 and cant seem to get them to copy tried formatting them checked for errors but still cant transfer all my stuff it copies the folders but not whats inside them any ideas?
Cards purchased from a reliable seller? Or did they come from the land of China? ;-).
EBay specials lol they work if you take all out of folders but no good for the likes of cmw
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
So ... was the seller reputable?
Also what format are they formatted in? .. because I believe they'll need to be in FAT32, not NTFS and not EXT4.

May be on pc sometimes but all things hanged then...
On pc with other mobile,
Msg is,
Device cant be formatted or something like that...
On other mobiles, the card is itself not detectable...
Its horrible for me...
I think I will not go for much custom things if I will get it fix...
I bought the card before two days and now...
Its really horrible guys...
OK, so the card is working now...
Done something with minitools...
For some hours...
But now an another question,
Can anyone tell me, how much of space is available on a 8 gb memory card?
I mean the total available space...
I get only 7.4 gb after formatting with minitools...,( on a completely formatted card)
Is it okay?
Please reply...

just insert the sdcard into your pc, open "my computer" and check the properties of your sd card.
Please post a screenshot of it here, this will clarify the situation!
Why?
A 4GB sd card shows in Windows:
3.999.989.760 Bytes -> 3.72 GB
But what the f**k?!
3.999.989.760 / 1024 = 3.906.240 KBytes
3.906.240 / 1024 = 3.814,6875 MegBytes (MB)
3.814,6875 / 1024 = 3,72 GigBytes (GB)
clear?
Check your local harddisks and the same effect is seen here.
ok, i've checked the card of other guy, it has full 8 gb...
now i think it depends on the company of the card...
the values are different with cards...
some with 8 gb, 7.60 gb, 7.22 gb (i've seen on other phone's thread on xda)...

The HTC ONE SV works also with microSDXC Card. In the specs it says microSDHC cards but I operate mine since I bought it with a 64GB microSDXC card without any problems.

After this mod your sd card will be recognized as internal memory and the internal around 4 GB will be recognized as sd card.
Ok... Is possible to change partition table for join application space with intrrnal space (1.1+4 GB) and use for applicazioni? So the sd could be used as external space...

Nope, as far as I can remember it was detected by the phone worked.. It still works like a charm. I am using the phone now for over a year with that card and never had problems. I think I tested nearly all available ROMS for that phone and never had problems with the card. At present I am using ViperSV 1.1.1.on the phone.

See, I'm also running ViperSV 1.1.1 and when I put the card in initially it said it was unsupported or damaged. Tried reformatting it in Windows, now shows up as 59GB exFAT in Windows but still not working on the phone. Is yours formatted differently or something?
UPDATE: I'm hearing elsewhere that it needs to be formatted as FAT32 in order to work, and Windows doesn't want to format it to anything other than exFAT or NTFS (while SD Formatter only uses exFAT). Apparently there's some sort of issue with the fact that the Class 10 cards have exFAT and a mysterious 16MB hidden offset partition at the start of the drive, so I'm now gonna try getting rid of that to see if it works.
UPDATE: Yep, looks like both: 1. The phone (Android?) doesn't support exFAT without a mounting mod, and 2. That weird 16MB offset at the start of the drive seems to cause compatibility issues as well. Have wiped the offset and reformatted to FAT32, and the card now works.
Thanks for the recommendation and the quick reply!
