Hi to everyone....I'm new to this forum & smartfones but managed to flash my ROM successfully with the help here.
Please can someone tell me regarding the micro SD card, is 128Mb the largest this phone will see? I put a 1gb card it, but it still says its 128Mb?
Apologies if this has alredy been covered, but I did seach the forum & could not find it!
Cheers

I agree a format is best option, I can confirm that the Vox takes at least a 4GB card as I have one in mine and thus as mentioned above 8GB should be possible.
Actually...I just realised if I load the 1gb storage card with mp3's, i can access it all. But looking at the about page, the card doesnt show. Please excuse my ignorance, but where does it show how much space is left on the storage card?
Thx!
officialy, from Sandisk it supports 8Gb.
I'm using an 8gb sandisk SDHC card in my vox, works like a charm
My "about" doesn't work, so can't tell u what it says there.
I use a SDHC kingston 4 GB and i've no problem.

Very glad to discuss about FLAME
Advise you to do the form FAT16 format to the memory card
mine also has the same problem, tried to format with FAT also FAT 32 but no luck.

Are you sure? WM6 for O2 Xda Flame?
I noticed this issue for quite long time and did some research works on it, currently the best solution is to use those TF cards made in Japan instead of those made in Taiwan. guess should be due to the control chip differences of the cards.
I am using a 2gb Kingston microSD and works well.
My big question is will it support the micro SDHC format for future cards that exceed 2gb?
Same issue with a Sandisk 2 gb. Tried to format in fat16. Not better.
But sometimes, after a softreset or a wakeup the card is available without the need to reinsert it.
I have send an email to the support. They answer 2 gb is not supported. But on the Flame website, it is written that 2 gb is supported.
Patriot 2 GB works fine for me.
Kingston is another brand I recommend, seconded by andyh's comment.
I used to have a similar problem but since i replaced with the new one, problem solved
I have go to the shop and change my micro sd from scandisk to transcend the problem sloved.

Hello!
(Please excuse me my bad english).
I have a Polaris (english version) and recently my Sandisk MicroSD HC card (6GB) become corrupted. Specially I lost all the subfolders inside /Program Files main folder (instead the subfolders I had only a couple of large files --more than 1GB-- and various other files with strange characters as name).
Anyone had this problem...? It seems that may be a problem like the Artemis had... I'm thinking to patch my Polaris with the Artemis patch but I don't know if it will work...
i have a Sandisk MicroSD HC card 8GB and no problem encountered actually.
Ziggy
I have a Sandisk MicroSD *Gb too and no problems.
I never Format a storagecard but one question: Do you Format it on pc with FAT32 and 32kb Clustersize? Try it.. maybe it helps..
Logo microSD HC Cruise
Hi guys, I would like to know the slot microSD if is compatible microSD HC and declared by HTC, so it should be a logo "microSD HC" at least on manual user or on the packaging of pda.
Excuse my bad English

It is compatible with MicroSD HC, although, the slot doesn't have a specific logo.
I use it with an 8Gb MicroSD HC card and it works fine.
8Gb MicroSD HC Format?
Those that are using the Sandisk 8Gb MicroSD HC, did you format it first? If so, how?
Format? I never have formatted a card. Just plugged it in all the time. So I did with my 8GB Card and the Polaris.

I didn't need to format the Sandisk.
However, if there is a need to format you need to format using FAT32 and not FAT16 or NTFS.
the Polaris is definately sdhc compatible...
while i was waiting for mine to get to me, i called HTC and asked this question.
i was bored and started accessory shopping before my unit got to me.
anyway, 8gb SanDisk works perfectly for me out of the box, no issues at all.
Thanks for the replies. The post above just got me thinking.
Formatting Micro SDHC
You should NEVER format these cards with standard utilities my experience is that it corrupts them and they are only recognised as 2GB cards there after...Google for SDFormatter v2 this does it correctly...

I formatted on PC (Vist 32 bit with default settings) my SanDisk micro SDHC 8GB card and works for me without any problems.

Hi,
encountered a similar problem when I soft resetted the device when an application was locked up while accessing the SD card. Fortunately I did not lose any data but had several additional folders and files with cryptic names. My solution was to backup all usable data, format the SD card as FAT32 on a desktop computer and restore the backup. Worked fine.

You can use standard utilities, but you need to know which format.
Example: for SD HC you NEED to format with FAT32.
as the guy above said.... you must know what you are working with and how to use it..
if you are using the sdhc then format it as FAT32 and it will be fine...
i also corrupted my memory card (SanDisk 8gb) by leaving it in the card and taking out the batter and sim and then replacing the battery,,,
all i did was use my usb adapter for the 8gb sdhc and format it on my pc for FAT 32 and it worked a charm...
Corrupt memory Card
Think I spoke to soon in an earlier post today my entire card vanished knew there was 3GB in use and 5GB free but nothing to show for it, all very reminiscent of the 2GB bug in the early days of the Orbit 1...
yep, I can confirm that. I've reached the >3Gb usage of my 8GB SanDIsk MicroSD card. And lost two times everything beyond 2GB of data (mostly the new ones). Looks like a bug.....had a backup. I think I will remove some data and see whats happen....
Dejan
This is such a worrying thread. Deja Vu re:the Artemis.
I'm up to 4 gig of my 8 gig card with no problems so far. Is anyone using the SD sentry program from the Artemis threads to monitor for problems?

How can I prove this? Was the data corrupted or deleted? I mean, were the files still there but broken or did they vanish?
I use 6GB so far, but can't find any mistakes.
Hello,
I have since 1 month a S710, yesterday i bought a memory card with 8 GB memory.
I read the phone maual and it is possible to put in a 2gb memory card.
Here's my question: Is it on a way possible with a crack our a update to use an 8 GB micro SD card in my s710?
Cheers!
Houthakker
OK, this is getting pretty annoying. There is an thread on this topic on the first page of this sub forum. Did you read that? Did you try it with the 8 GB card before posting???
Annoying is the style of your answer. Thank you very much. If I did not read it, if it would work, I wouldn't be posting. I'd be happy if we could stop discussing this in public right now. Send a PM if you have further comments towards my postings.
...
I've got a SanDisk MicroSDHC Premier 8GB, and it does work perfectly in my Computer using the USB converter SanDisk provided with it.
However the card is by no means recognized in the phone, and the Manual and text's otherwise in the Net say the phone would accept up to 2 GB cards in size.
Would be great if someone here has an idea what could be wrong, or knows of the which firmware allows usage of cards above 2GB
Thanks people!
Your question clearly asked if 8GB would work in the phone, it did not state that you tried it without sucess or anything else.
Numerous people have been using 8GB cards perfectly fine with their Vox, others however seem to have issues. You can partition the card to have 4 2GB slices or try 2 4GB slices and see if it is recognized.
How would I partition the card?
cheers
-edit: Problem is solved

Hey dear XDA peeps!
Ive got a couple of questions about microsd here
Ive got one 8GB Transcend card which I bought in the beginning and it seems to be working good. I then bought another 32GB Kingston card. It has worked pretty good but now it seems it is kinda fubared.. Ive unmounted it from the phone and connected it straight to the computer and Im having some problems copying stuff from the card. Which it was from the phone too..
How do I check the sd card for errors and fixes them? I dont have to keep the data on it.
What makes the sd card break? I understand how regular old harddisks die but what about sd cards? =)
And what brand for SD card shall I buy for the phone that have the best reliability?
Im trying to format the sd card but it just hangs and refuses to format it so I guess the card really is fubared :/
So what card brand do you recommend for best quality?
I've tried them all. SanDisk has the best microSD cards for the money. They are also faster than spec'ed. If you can't get SanDisk, get Kingston.
Transcend is the slower than SanDisk or Kingston. I've heard good things about Patriot but never tried them. Stay away from off-brands or you risk serous problems.
For any mobile phone get a Class 4 SanDisk. Format it using SDFormatter.

Right click the SD in windows explorer, hit properties, tools, check disk. what makes SD card go out is every flash storage has a set amount of writes, after those they start to go out. Whatever you do though, do NOT defrag a flash based storage, you'll kill it. I use a Kingston 4GB in mine and I've had my SD for years (before this phone it was used to boot operating system installs on my laptop and used for my DS flashcart

Bears repeating...
Do NOT defrag Flash-based storage, you will kill it. Flash memory doesn't need defragging because it does not have mechanical heads like a magnetic hard drive.
Hello, the SD Card is a SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 HC I and this card keeps unmounting by itself without any warning. I formatted this card to internal storage because my phone only has 8gb of internal storage. I have Ressurection Remix (Nougat) + Fire Kernel installed. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I had the exact problem with the same SD card you mentioned. Your SD card is most probably faulty. SanDisk cards are known to have this issue. You can try to format it as fat32 using a card reader and your PC. It might solve your problem.
I bought a new Samsung Evo UHS card and everything works flawlessly now.

Is fat32 format like a portable SD card because I've changed the ad card from internal to portable and it says it is in fat32 format. The problem is that I can't find a way to move apps to my external when it's portable.

Yeah, you can't have it both ways... either it is portable/external or it is internal/adopted storage, it can't be both. Apps and all data can use it if it is adopted and in portable mode you can only use for storage, like media files, books, documents, etc.
Only way around is Link2SD, which requires partitioning the SD card and root access, and even that is know to not be tolerated well by the G. Sorry.

Samsung EVO+ or EVO Plus (they are different) are the best value and seem the most compatible, although ymmv... it seems like there is no consistency here as some people have good luck with some brands and others don't. Even Sandisk, some people have had them working flawlessly since the G was new, and others can't get them to work a week. It's weird, but Samsung EVO cards seem pretty solid in this device.
