8 GB Micro SD Card works too in my Touch Dual

And, SanDisk also provides a USB reader (looks more like a very cheap version of an USB Stick...

I paid around US $ 150

Just thought I'd add that I purchased an 8Gigabyte ScanDisk Card (with USB adapter) for just over £50 (GBP) - $100 (US) and it work like a dream - no access delay and just under 8GB of available space.

I've also heard that ScanDisk are due to release a 16GB version in early 2008?

Hey,
did you need any software update in order make an 8GB card running on XDA STAR. I'm just coming from an O2 store and they gave me an extract of a spreadsheet were they listed the xda star under 2GB max. storage devices.

Any comments?

Cheers,
Yves

It didn't work in my HTC Touch Dual!

I bought a 8GB Sandisk Micro SDHC card... put it in my Touch Dual... and bam... No more than 2GB.

How can that be?

eh? that's worrying, I've an 8gb one coming this week!

8GB Sandisk working perfectly in my Uk T-Mobile Touch Plus. No issues seen at all with it.

Well... My problem here is... Is it the Flash Card that is fucked up or is it that I have the only Touch Dual in the whole world that doesn't have the capabillity to read 8gb Micro SDHC cards.

I have used a storage tool program to figure out the cards specs(Computer can't read it through the SD adaptor for some reason) and here is what i got:

Total: 1.8 GB

Type: Fat16
Sector Size: 512 Bytes
Cluster Size: 32 KB

For what I know, this should be a Fat32 because Fat16 can't have storage space beyond 2 GB.The rest I don't know because I haven't researched this enough to get a science degree. I have tried to format the card to Fat32 with several Cluster Sizes with no result in getting a bigger storage space.
At some point this seems like a 2GB but on the outside it looks clearly like an 8GB card. So if this is a fake, then it is a pretty damn good one.

What do you think?

[Lord of the Badgers]

slight aside, but madly, i have to pick the card up from the post office depot - how BIG can that parcel be??!! :eek::D

I've been using an 8GB Sandisk card in my Niki (borrowed from my Kaiser) for a week now. Works fine ...

[Lord of the Badgers]

You have to format the card at FAT32, which goes at 32 Gb. With FAT16 you only see 2Gb.
I don't know if you can do this format in the HTC, otherwise you'll need a new reader for sdhc-cards.

[Alusan]

Thank You... I got a New SDHC reader/writer and formatted the card with the Panasonic SDformatter from a link through this forum. It worked and I now have my delicious 8GB storage in my Touch Dual.

Never seen such beautiful 8GB in my life :p

[muzikfreakah]

Hows the speed when accessing aps on the 8 gig? :-) is it just as fast as using a 1 gig? :-)

[muzikfreakah]

Oh well no answers, anyway, my 8gb is here and is working very well :-)

[horizonwalker]

Oddly enough, I'm having problems even with 1 and 2 gig cards. Or rather with active sync, not detecting them. I can't transfer files directly to storage card folder via activesync, I have to either transfer to the device first and then from the device to the card, or transfer directly to the card after taking it out of the nike..
It might be something simple, anybody has any ideas how to solve this? Searched for quite a long time and couldn't find anything..

It's an orange brand niki if that changes anything, btw.

[jjon]

well if any 1 wants to save i found a 8 gig for 37.99 plus shipping
