So I need a good (cheap) card reader that can read 8GB Micro SD cards in Windows Vista Home Premium?
Is there some sort of Windows Update or something that I need to install for Windows to recognize the card?
I can recognize my 1 gig cards just fine, but Windows can't see the 4 gig cards (probably due to the card reader or something) and I am planning on getting an 8 gig card soon...
I have the adapters to convert them to regular SD (but the adapters came with my 1 gig cards- could that be a problem?)
My notebook reads all my card, and I'm using Vista Home Premium. You could always use your device as the reader !

As he said.
Also, you can buy a cheap reader off eBay and if you need a MicroSD to SD adapter. There's also the MicroSD readers that fit your keychain and read it all.
I got mine for 3 bucks shipped. Just make sure it's SDHC compatible.
And yes, Vista will read them no matter how big they are.
I installed Card Export on my Tilt and Vista can't see it as a flash drive either (even with the 1 gig card). How are you guys using the device as the card reader? I have an AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser) running the Hyperdragon III Aug 4 Full WM6.1 ROM...
I'll have to look for a card reader that is SDHC compatible. That has to be the problem. I just did some online searches and found some posts on various message boards with others using the same card reader that I have (Sandisk SDDR-103) and it was confirmed that it is not SDHC compatible.
the problem is none of these things say they are or aren't SDHC compatible on the package. You pretty much have to buy it online (or do your research in advance) to get one that is SDHC. So I will probably have to buy online and wait for shipping...
I haven't really tried it yet, but WM5torage is a popular app.

It doesn't work with WM6.1 though, does it? I used to use it on my old PPC 6700 running WM5, but I was under the impression that it didn't work with WM6.1...
Yeah it will work, I have cooked it in my 6.1 ROM.

Has anyone tried using an 8gb sd card under WM6?
I have WM6 on my XDA Exec, but don't want to buy an 8GB card if it's not going to work.
If it's HDSD it won't work (from my understanding), if its SD it might work... but i've never heard of any regular SD card that is bigger then 4GB.
you can use it as a storage. it is be able to install programs on!

Hi!
I think the bigger memory will be apear very soon. So that is very good for memory limit of PPC. But can it work???? Not sure.
>4gb wont work with universal, and indeed some 2gb and 4gb ones too.
the universal has only a SD card reader, not SDHC. SDHC capabilities would need new hardware or at the very least new firmware so its not gonna happen, sorry
ocz sd card 4gb

A new firmware to make the Universal's SD Card Slot SDHC compliant is not possible. Only a new hardware component will work.
The OFFICIAL maximum storage capacity supported on the Universal SD Card Slot is 6GB. Obviously such an SD card does not exist and hence the practical maximum limitation is 4GB.
Hi -- does anyone know if any of the new HTC phones with full-size SD card slots (the Panda, the forthcoming Sirius, and the Sedna?) will be SDHC compatible? The Panda is already out now, and I'm wondering if it's the first Pocket PC phone to read the latest 8GB SDHC cards?
Alan
A reasonable question, and one I'd like the answer to as well.
Wouldn't it be nice if HTC would at least post a link to the manual for their own device on their site?
Hmmm.... PDAdb now lists the Sirius (HTC P6500) as being SDHC compatible in their "detailed specs."
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=734
This wasn't there before. Does anyone know if it's confirmed or just speculation?
According to HTC P6300 Support, the Panda will support SD cards up to 4Gb and Mini-SD cards up to 12Gb.
I spoke with tech support today.
The Panda supports standard 4Gb SD cards. SDHC may work, but there's no guarantee. A patch may be made available in the future to allow this.
Tried a 4 Gb Transcend 150x standard SD (i.e. non-SDHC) card in my Panda today. Appeared to be working nicely.
I spoke too early.
I tried out said 4 Gb Transcend 150x SD card for a couple of weeks and experienced several instances of file corruption in much-written-to folders (backups, news article caches, and so on). May have been just a bad card, but I didn't feel like experimenting more with my precious data, so I didn't try out another copy.
I have since switched to a 4 Gb Sandisk Extreme SDHC (yes, high capacity) card, and it has been working flawlessly. Plus, it's blazingly fast! Highly recommended

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!
Good day all! I have a HTC Wizard and I cannot get it to read a Lexar 4GB Micro SDHC card. Please help! anything would be appreciated...

SDHC appears to not be possible with your device - Hardware limitations - I suggest you read through the entire threads to make sure. A good place to start anyway
If i'm not mistaken you can get a MiniSD card with 4GB which isnt HC...
Unfortunately the Wizard only supports miniSD which maxes out at 2 GB.

No there are four gig miniSD Cards available. Just not that common or easily found. I found one and use it for my portable gps
SDHC cards are only functional in a handful of devices (mostly new technology after the Kaiser was released). People have been looking into it for a while with no luck. I have not seen a non SDHC micro SD card yet. Take a look in eBay, you might be able to find some in there. Good Luck!
1.i have a microSD card which isn't SDHC.
2.he doesn't need microSD ... he needs MiniSD...
and the four gig mini sd cards are not sdhc. Just not that easy to find

I stand corrected
Hi,
I'm using miniSD adapter with microSD card, but when I tried to put microSDHC card it didn't working. Is there any software to make it use? Or it is hardware problem?
In order to have possibillity to use sdhc cards u should install this first. Then plug your sdhc card, it's likely to work. But i havent tested it by myself. Note: this driver dramatically drops sd-card read/write speed.
tornado does not support SDHC standard
mato-peto
Already does!
Read my previous post more attentively...
Some people confirm this driver to work on Tornado and on StarTrek as well.
They could use 4gb sdhc card!
Oh My !!!
It works!
There have been so many tries getting this to work and now it works.
I used a 8GB micro-sdhc card (with converter tot mini) and it works!
thanx a million!

Thakns for this!! It works!! Really read/write speed is much lower, but I think that OMAP CLOCK can help in this case.
doesn't work for me..i use the orange spv c600 version of the htc tornado,installed both c550_and_650_sdteam drivers as well as Cotulla sdhc but none worked..i'm using a mini sd card 2gb and a mini sd-micro sdhc card adaptor for the 4gb class 4 kingston card....with first drivers after install i still can see the normal card,not the sdhc,but after installing cotulla drivers(removing the others first) doesn't work al all either of the cards !! wtf? i use wm 6.1 standard
Interesting. I use the following rom:
WM6.5 Standard ENG OCOS 5.2.21234(Build21234.5.0.1)ver.1.0(Full and Lite) by Gregorys
i installed the full version of this rom with the Cotulla sdhc driver found in the link. (Be aware that you should install 2 cab-files, but this is stated clearly in the readme.txt)
Maybe there is something in the rom as well that we need. why don't you install this rom and try...
10nx for the tip...the phone i have bought 2 days ago ,caught a bargain with full package at 40 dollars,already with a wm6.1 installed...but i'm not satisfied about it,has a few bugs...not sure who's version is it now,but i will install the gregorys version......hope it works after the new rom,it's good to be known that not all wm6 roms work with sdhc
jOnly works with micro SDHC plugged into the micro SD to mini SD converter and then used with tornado
the standard mini SDHC doesnt work. and this way there is no significance of SDHC's advantage of speed. isntead speed is dead slow
Follow up the analysis of the driver packages and the final solutions in the thread "SDHC Finally Works !!!!!!" (seems not all who wrote here are also there).
Keep the Tornados alive!
