Are you sure ? Last time I read discussions about 4GB miniSD in Wizard, bottomline was that card has to be NON - SDHC in order to be recognized.

I heard that from some China guys...
However OMAP850_SDHC.dll is loaded in Wizard WM6 ROM...

Yes BUT, does the HW support SDHC? Has anyone actually gotten their hands on a 4Gb miniSDHC and tried it on a Wizard w/WM6?

I had 4Gig SDHC by scan disk and WM6. Doesnt work

so conclusion is that it will not work. then.

I've a 4GB MINI SD CARD (SDHC) from CHINA and WM6 on my Device but it's doesn't work on it!

This is because you need hardware and firmware support for SDHC. Some of the early 4GB cards (pre-SDHC) would work some didn't as reported by many posters.

THere is a thread in the Wizard Accessories forum tracking what 4GB SD cards work on what Wizards. You may want to look at that thread. I can say I bought a 4GB min-SD off of eBay, and it works for awhile and then stops working. I've given up trying to do anything with it as I've lost data due to it twice (and causes slowdowns on my phone). Some claim to have resolved some issues with them (I thought I had fixed mine by reformatting it on a PC, but after about a week of it working well, it suddenly started having problems again).

I have a TOPRAM card (4gb), and it works great! (not sdhc)
No problem with speed at all!
I had an unbreanded card that didnt wokr.

Be careful. I have a TOPRAM 4Gb also and it was not stable on my Wizard with WM6. 6 different versions of WM6!

SDHC with Wizard?

Hi,
Although this question has been put up many a times but I don't see a conclusion in any of the threads. Can someone give a finite answer to the SDHC support in Wizard? (Y/N)?
Did anyone try this:

Thanks.
WIZA200 (HT622)
TNT 1933 ROM

Yep, tried it and it didn't work. I couldn't even read my existing 2Gb SD card
There seems to be conflicting information - some say it is just a driver issue, others say the Wizard's hardware can't support SDHC. I have searched and searched and it does seem that either the Wizard's hardware can't support SDHC or there simply hasn't been a driver written that supports it. Either way it doesn't work currently.

Depends from what you really want to achieve bottom line .. I have a 4GB card working perfectly smooth. Not sure, but I guess it is not a SDHC card. So is it really the SDHC you are looking for, or rather "just" a large sized card?
If you want I could check for the supplier.

Are you talking about 4GB mini SD Card? where did you get it? I am not talking about SDHC. I got 4GB HCSD but I never have a change to make it works with my Wizard.

Yes, bottomline is that 2 GB is not enough and I am seriously looking for high capacity cards. I came to know that all the cards above 2GB are SDHC (as on sandisk and sdcard.org websites).
If you know of a 4 GB card that is non-SDHC and is working well, please do send me the supplier details. I am based in India so need to check if he can ship overseas.
Thanks.

Right now I have an authentic 4 GB SDHC card from Transcend.
Till now I have tried all the patches/drivers available here for SDHC but couldn't make this to work. I even checked after formatting the the card in FAT16.

Here is the one I bought. It is NOT SDHC, but has a 4 GB size. Unfortunately this link is to a German eBay shop:

Hope this will help you in possibly finding a supplier in India!

Sorry for the huge link, I dont even know if it will work so lemme know. If it does, all of that guy's 4gb mini-SD cards are non HC. From what I have read, "Topram mini-SD 4gb" cards from a certain batch are non HC and work with the wizard. I ordered one from the person in the link and it has been working fine so far. Hope this helps.

Is there a difference between the cards themselves or is it just the formatting?

the formatting and the hardware logic is different. there are differences internally, but externally they appear to be the same.

8GB...

I was about to buy an 8GB SDHC card with an adapter for my SP5 when i realized that i did not know for sure if it would, so before i spend $40 I jus want to make sure that it can work for my SP5. So i need someone who has tried n tested to let me know please. Can a 8GB SDHC card with an adapter wrk on my sp5? Thank you

No. SDHC is not supported in any ROM and no one here has gotten any SDHC working on a Tornado.

But why then does the adapter say for all standard minisd devices?
If i was to still to put an SDHC card into my sp5 would it give me at least 4gb of storage or just not work at all.

It will not work. But there are 4GB non-SDHC cards which work just fine.

OK thanks a lot for your replies.

SDHC incapability on ipaq 610/610c/612/612c/614/614c

Hi,
I've just recently purchased an iPAQ 612 (all the other versions are just regional and "c" stands for integrated camera) and i've been pretty pleased with the phone.
However much to my dismay, I realised that the latest iPAQ is not SDHC capable. I've been wading through google and many users are also affected by the same incabability.
I just recently learnt on this forum that it is possible to use an SDHC patch to read SDHC cards. I've tried the patches on this forum but non of them seem to work out on my iPAQ.
I'm just wondering is there any pool of tech-savvy people here who are able to find out what's the issue with the iPAQ and create a similar SDHC patch for it?
Thanks!
I have very limited knowledge on programming and such so i might not be of much help in the creation. However i'd be more than happy to try any possible patch and give a review on it.
Regards,
Sebastian

is there really no one out there? =\
please?

try going to hklm - system - storagemanager
then add the dword pnpunloaddelay with decimal value 33186. add pnpwaitiodelay with the same dec value.
btw, typing in opera mobile sucks. hope i typed the keys right or they do nothing.

I have ipaq 614c and i use sdhc card 8bg kingston.... no problem with that...

Hey Hey, Thanks for your input. =))
though i didnt try but it's very nice of you still
I just bought an 8gb Kingston class 4 and it worked great in my Ipaq 612. All thanks to the shopkeeper whom used to sell the 612. He gladly unsealed a kingston 8gb class4 sdhc (without me paying) just for me to try.
Anyone knows why would the 8gb class 6 from sandisk differ so much from the kingston 8 class4? they're still sdhc cards and by right they're supposed to work the same way arent they?
i hope this helps those who are still searching for more memory on their ipaq 610.

now i can see the files
Hi, i have a 614c and a nokia 8GB microSD, thanks to the oic0 registry add, now i can see the files on my card, the problem is that i can't do anything with the files, can't play any mp3 or open docs.
My question: do i need to make some other changes?
thanks
Note: the ipaq works perfec with a Kingston 4GB card and my nokia card works ok in one samsung omnia.

Hi,
The 6xx/6xxc are fully compatible with SDHC cards. The only restriction lays in the brand. Some work, some don't... I personally never would use Kingstons ... SanDisks are much easier to get and configure.

Searching another card...

Maximum MicroSD capacity?

What is maximum microSD capacity that works with Touch Cruise aka Polaris.
I know people use 8GB but I was wondering could I use 16GB?
anybody tried it?
Thank you!!

over 2 gb it requests an SDHC driver, this is for the elder HTC versions,
The polaris/touch cruise do have the SDHC driver installed,
so it should recognize any microsd.

thank you for the answer.
I have 4 GB microSD card so I know it works. I also know 8 GB works because a lot of people here says that they use it.
I'am planning to buy 16 GB microSD card but I want to know for sure it works.
I ask this because from what I know some cameras or card readers have like 8GB limit or 4GB limit.
so I would like that somebody confirm, from it's own experience that it works.
Thank you

can just confirm that 8gig are working fine.

Look at my signature !!

Thank you

in those cases I always buy stuff at eBay or our local store with the assurance of returning the product. So buy and try. If it fails just return it.
