Thanks :rolleyes:

That link sucks.

i dont think it wil work. 4 GB transflash is only SDHC... at least in Star Trek it is imho impossible to use

They also sell non SDHC.. So it's a buggy crap, but some people claim it works. I tried one made by Dysan, actualy it was 3.9GB. It worked in STR TRK, until I reached the maximum. Then all data was like lost.



MrMiguel: rather get a 1GB SD card. Not sure for what you need so much space. I have 2x 1GB SD and it works fine. If I know I will make demos, I change the card in my phone.

It's such a pain to change out the MicroSD cards in this phone, though. That is the point of having the largest one you can get.

I would also like an answer to this question. Here is a link that claims it does:

I have an 8525 running this 4GB card but it is running WM6 and someone said that is the only way to get 8525 to read this card. If true that means WM6 would also be req'd on the StrTrk. I'm interested because my daughter wants a decent Cingular phone that will store 4GB of MP3's. If it does I will buy her an 3125.

[Jozer99]

The hardware requirements are different for SDHC cards. The 8525 actually has a SDHC card reader (32GB), but WM5 only supported regular SD (2GB max). When people cooked WM6 ROMs for the 8525, they made sure to include new SDHC drivers, allowing up to 32GB cards.

I'm not sure what type of card reader hardware the 3125 has, but it seems likely it is only a regular SD reader, as the 3125 is more similar to the 8125 than the 8525. The 8125 only has a regular SD reader. Even if the 3125 does have hardware support for SDHC, it doesn't seem all that likely that there will ever be a WM6 ROM for it, as HTC isn't releasing one, and the developer community here doesn't seem that motivated.

The limitation is not on the OS at least as far as reading 4gb is concerned. As long as the card is not sdhc. I have a 4gb sd card fully loaded with 3.5gb+ data and programs. My htc universal has no problems reading and writing to it. Very fast, too. Even my old Toshiba E800 sees all the circa 3.98 gb in both read and write mode. There are even 8gb non sdhc cards out. I have not tried them but people who report that they work just fine. I have not seen a transflash 4gb card that is non sdhc, but I have no doubt it exists.

[raskell]

"Jozer99 . . . The hardware requirements are different for SDHC cards."

The HTC Universal was shipped as Non-SDHC, however the latest ROM's have been providing SDHC with the existing hardware. It seems to be more an issue of the drivers, not the hardware.

I still have a 4GB card lying around, I'd like to use it. Is it possible?

Cingular 3125 is pretty crappy for listening to music. Buy a simpler MP3 phone. The headphone jack on the 3125 is proprietary, and the included earbuds are awful. The music player is Windows Media Player, which is somewhat buggy, occasionally skips and crashes.

[Jozer99]

The hardware requirements ARE different. HTC shipped many devices with SDHC card slots, but with OS support for only regular SD. However, some older HTC devices actually DID have SD only slots, so it is not possible to use SDHC cards with them. HTC hasn't really released device specs, so the only way to know for sure will be to port WM6 and see if it works.

Just pop it in and see if it works. There are genuine non sdhc 4g sd cards.

I tried it before... it doesn't work... too bad...

Please tell us: what kind of card? SDHC or non-standard SD?

This is what HTC.wiki says:

microSD slot NOT capable of SDHC; maximum theoretical capacity is 4GB, which has been confirmed through several reports from HTC, wherein they stated the phone has been "tested up to 4GB". Though user reports of this are not present, 4GB non-SDHC microSD cards are rare as well.

http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Qtek+8500+Specs?t=anon

so maximum capacity is 4 GB THEORETICALLY!! They have no user reports till now! What do you say?

[banane]

Found this cab for SDHC for smartphones:

Does it really work with your SDHC and StarTrek so I can buy one for me, too?

[mvsaka]

I am using 2 Gb micro SD in my Dopod S301. Its working fine. I have yet not seen a 4Gb micro SD. If you have one I think you can use it !!!

[jmg]

I tried both of my 8s and a 6 with no luck in the 3125 so I stuck one of my 2s in. I was going to give the SDHC cab mentioned earlier in this thread a try later but kinda tied up with other biz now.

[crt60]

I tried the SDHC Support Kit on my 3125 and it didn't work. And still haven't found a 4 gig non SDHC card yet. hopefully someone will come out with one soon, or a hack that would allow an SDHC card to work.

The Nokia MU-41 4GB microSD card appears to be non-SDHC, as the pictures of it do not show HC on it, even though sellers of it advertise it as SDHC (see here (http://www.thenerds.net/NOKIA.Nokia_MU_41_4GB_microSD_High_Capacity_microS DHC_Card.02702Z4.html?affid=31) for example) - but ad blurbs often say "High Capacity" - well, yes, it is High Capacity, but maybe it is not Secure Digital High Capacity, and there is a difference that is more than just FAT32 formatting, as can be seen by trying to use an SDHC card in an older card reader on a PC - won't work - got to use one that is SDHC 2.0 compatible.

The Sandisk website (http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/pdf/retail/SDHC1.pdf) has a good explanation of the differences:

"The SD High Capacity (SDHCTM) card, miniSD High Capacity (miniSDHCTM) card, and microSD High Capacity (microSDHCTM) card are the new SD™ memory cards based on the SDA 2.00 specification, introduced by the SD Card Association. This new SDA 2.00 specification enables SD cards to reach higher capacities: 4GB - 32GB*.
Because SDHC, miniSDHC, and microSDHC cards are recognized by new SDHC, miniSDHC, microSDHC host devices differently than standard SD, miniSD, and microSD cards, they are not backwards compatible with legacy SD, miniSD, and microSD format host devices. Standard SD, miniSD, and microSD cards are forward compatible with new SDHC, miniSDHC, and microSDHC host devices.
Legacy SD/miniSD/microSD host devices and SD/miniSD/microSD cards (up to 2GB) are FAT 16 file system compatible, while the new SDA version 2.00 file system specification defines a SD FAT 32 file system for the new SDHC/miniSDHC/microSDHC host devices and cards.
Be aware of non-SDA 2.00 specification compliant SD 4GB, miniSD 4GB, and microSD 4GB cards on the market. If these non-compliant SD/miniSD/microSD 4GB cards record data in a SDHC host, and are then used in a legacy SD/miniSD/microSD host, issues and problems may occur. File system incompatibility, data corruption, and potentially you may actually lose the data/pictures. In addition, if these non-compliant SD/miniSD/microSD 4GB cards are inserted into a legacy SD/miniSD/microSD host device, the host device may not recognize/utilize the card as 4GB, and it instead may read as a 2GB card. If the SD/miniSD/microSD 4GB card does not have SDHC/miniSDHC/microSDHC on it, it is not SD 2.00 compliant.
More SDHC, miniSDHC, microSDHC compatible devices are expected to be available in 2007. To ensure compatibility, look for the SDHC/miniSDHC/microSDHC logo on cards and host devices (cameras, camcorders, etc.)"

Based on this, I am hopeful that a 4GB microSD that is NOT labeled with the SDHC logo (like the Nokia MU-41), may work with older devices such as the StarTrek. I know there are 4GB miniSD cards that are non-SDHC, because I have one, and it works fine in my 8125, where an SDHC card will not.

Try partitioning it into 2x2gb partitions. It may work.

Yeah I thought of that, tho I think it is a hardware issue not necessarily the SD card itself, SDHC is the future and older SD cards are being left in the dust.
Hopefully at some point HTC will come out with a new flip phone like the star trek that struts Windows Mobile 6 and SDHC.

Does Erofich's 6.1 PRO Rom for 3125/strtrk support SDHC?

[sujahat]

nope.. i have it since a month.. tried everything.. got it to format at FAT16.. still not happening..

I am using the Pro V2 ROM, which rom do you perfer?
What other cool stuff have you installed on your 3125?
Will Wisbar work on this Prov 2 rom? have u tried it?

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone knows where to buy a microSD 4G NON-SDHC card. I am willing to try it out, on my Qtek 8500, but I can`t find non-sdhc anywhere! Not even ebay....
If anyone knows a place, that ships to europe please let me know..
Thanks

[jgalea]

I have tried every software fix for SDHC I could find and none of them work. I have been trying it on an 8G MicroSDHC card. So looks to me like 2G is max. The 4G microSD (non SDHC) seems like vaporwhere. When I look I more often find it's a documentation error. I'd love to find one.

Hi.. sorry about the delay.. just saw ur reply...

Yes you can use wisbar.. however thats really slow.. and you would find it a pain with out having touch features.. better then that is SPB shell on the 6.1 pro rom...
