SDHC incapability on ipaq 610/610c/612/612c/614/614c - General Topics

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...

Reading SD-HC cards

Hi, new to this forum so please be gentle! As my user name suggests I have a MDA-Compact II and have bought an 8GB SD-HC card. It works great in PC with adapter supplied, but is not recoginsed by my PDA phone. Is there a software patch/upgrade out there that will fix this? My existing 4GB SD card works fine, but it is not the HC version. If there is no upgrade, I guess I've just wasted £50! Thanks. Graham.
sdhc cards need sdhc support in hardware
Nothing I know of exists for this device or any other smartphone at the moment.

Well, not sure if the Treo 680 does not qualify as a smartphone. They can do SDHC and one can copy the driver from a 680 to a 650 and it will work there too. It is a shame that the 750 does not have it...

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345038&highlight=sdhc+patch
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.

SD or SDHC?

Morning all,
I currently use 1GB Sandisk SD card for my XDA II Himalaya. As TomTom size is increasing day by day, I was looking for an 8GB SD card however when I searched online, it said SD over 2GB are now SDHC (SD High Capacity cards) and the devices need to be compatible to be able to run it.
My question is, Does Hima XDA II supports SDHC cards? (I am using Ather 6.14 ROM Mobile version 6).
Could someone please help on this matter before I make a buy?
Here is the link to the Hima I have :[http://www.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_ii-697.php]
Here is the link to the SDHC I am looking at : [http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/4949650/SanDisk-8GB-SD-HC-Card/Product.html]
Many thanks
Regards
Jehanzeb
Hi,
Himalaya does not support SDHC, only SD.
However, I have several 4gb non sdhc memory cards working perfectly.
If your search well you will certainly find them.
Three suggestions:
1 - Try before your buy. There have been mixed experiences with different brands (and sometimes even with the same brand...)
2 - If possible, go for the ones with highest speed (even if some say there is no difference...)
3 - Format the sd card in the device...
Regards,
P
Thanks Pdc4, I really appereciate your help in this.
I am looking at Sandisk ones, they are quite good and faster then other brands.
Will check out and find out if I can find one which is only SD.
Many thanks
Kind Regards

iGo8 on 4Gb SDHC card, working or not ???

Hi everybody
I would like to know if someone as found the way to execute iGo8 on a SDHC card, mine is working well on a 2Gb (non HC) card, but on my *brand new* 4Gb SDHC, it doesn't !!!
I've read on some other forums that it's a "bug" of the program, and I would like to know if there was an issue with it...
Thanx for your (several ??) answers !!!
If you wan't to run it, buy it... this ain't a warez support forum...
works on sdhc 8GB
Thanx for your answer, prattjo
Can you tell me which brand of SD Card you use ???
Thanx
did you purchase it?
I'm using SanDisk 8GB SDHC class 6 and Igo8 was working
I don't think, that you problem is with capacity of card, but maybe with Igo itself? antypiracy security?
or your card is broken
