Support for mini SDHC

[davidw89]

Does anyone know whether or not an 02 XDA Atom Exec will work with a 4gb mini SD (either from Sandisk or Transcend)? Would a firmware update solve the problem>? If not what options do i have

I have the same question. I contacted O2 about the mini SDHC issue, but they are very vague with their answer (below - dated 16th July 2007)

"Thank you for contacting O2 Asia Technical Support.

With reference to the query that you have made, the Xda Atom has been tested with memory cards with a capacity of 2GB. By using a memory card with a higher capacity such as what you have mentioned, 4GB, may possibly cause some software conflict.Thus it may compromise the functioning of your device.

We hope this information is useful. Thank you.

If anyone is using a miniSDHC card on the atom, i will be glad to know which one. Also, is there any upgrade of software / firmware than can make this possible...

I have a miniSDHC card, Trascend brand. Won't read at all on the Atom. So don't get your hopes up. <_<

Try this drivers from HTC ATHENA for SDHC support on Atom.
Note, that it was not fully tested...

Actually the Atom Life's WM6 ROM had enable the support for SDHC. 8G MiniSD works well.

I bought O2 Atom Life just a week before. The same day I bought I did logged in to get WM6 upgrade and within 3 hours of purchase my device was on WM6. :D

When I downloaded the ROM after Registering and entering my IMEI the download page came and there was clearly mentioned that after WM^ upgrade the device will be able to use miniSDHC card but the capacity was not mentioned. BUT IT IS QUIET CLEARLY CONFIRMED THAT WM6 CAN READ miniSDHC CARD WHICH CAN BE ANYTHING ABOVE 2GB.

But its true that the device may start to slowdown, as well as the count of stored files increases to huge number. This is not tested by me but when I used 2gb card on MotoMing with more than 1000 files, the device started slowing down, though it was linux based. And we all know how windows behaves :D

I guess if it works for Atom, it also works for HP rw 6828 (with "helloWorld" WM6.1 Rom fro this forum)
Do you know if it works with a micro SD 8GB or higher with a mini SD adapter ?

Some people report (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=264056&highlight=mini+SD+max+size&page=3) that 8GB works.

I use a 2GB from "integral" without problem.
I tried with a 4GB micro SD Kingston with mini-SD adapter, and it seemed to work.

Any slowdown when a lot of files are on the SD card ?

Did someone tried this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344338)

I purchased an second hand Atom Life with WM6.0 but it would not read a SDHC 4GB card until the attacehd program was installed. But i soon found that the standard ROM sucks and then loaded a WM6.1 from Medkid and it works like a dream!!....that is everything good and SDHC support for my 4GB card is built in. Otherwise here is the SDHC driver for WM.
