4GB microsd in WM6 Hermes??

[gondalguru]

Tried to search but could not find the answer here on the forum?

I have Cingular 8525 now with Black Dymond 3.5 WM6 rom.

Does 4gb micorsd card work with new WM6 Hermes or no? If yes then can somebody plesae give recommendations on good 4gb microsd cards for Hermes.

Thanks

This has been discussed quite extensively in numerous threads such as this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306753). The bottom line is that although the Hermes may one day support a standard 4GB microsd card, it may not support SDHC until improvements are made to WM6.

Thanks

So for now the olny option is 2GB microsd at max.

It has already been tried, no go. However this is most likely to be addressed with updated sd drivers, there is no chip dedicated to reading the sd card which is another pointer towards a driver based sd reader.

I know several members are looking into grabbing the sdhc code from the trinity but this is based in XIP (execute in place) so might be difficile to realise.

Also it is known there are sdhc drivers around but not currently in ANY of the roms we have on the hermes.

Wonder what one has to do to get that firmware upgrade? :confused:

should work with transflash 4gb micro sd., note :TRANSFLASH :D :D

Read somewhere that 4gb microsd sdhc work with black shadow rom. Can somebody confirm it?

See this thread starting around post 220 or so. It appears that the latest versions of WM6 allow the use of SDHC. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308019&page=23

EDIT: And this thread seems to confirm it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311718

The slot drivers for the RTM WM6 build now support SDHC. This is indeed good news :)

I bought a microSDHC™ 4GB (Sandisk) and it run perfectly with Windows Mobile 6 SE EC 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3) on my HTC TyTN (Hermes).

I'm going to buy the same, even if I'd like to find the Kingmax class6 microsd because it has a much higher transfer speed.
Can you give some feedback on the sandisk one?
Is the speed good? Could you provide some datas?
Does someone know where can I buy the Kingmax microsd?
Many thanks!

I'll guess I'll have to stick with my 4gb for a while. (You know, the money thing???) Sigh...:(

Can someone advise:

-How the performance is with SDHC cards, such as a 4GB?

-Can the proper drivers be installed on a normal WM5 ROM?
