[gtrix]

Hi guys!! i'm currently using a 2GB MICRO SD card on my hima..i used an adapter so it would fit in..it works..and it's faster than the SD card that i used before..then, i tried to use a 4GB micro SD card..take note, just an SD not an SDHC..but it didn't work..could any1 give an explanation for this? same brand but 4GB micro didn't work..

Are you sure that your card is not a sdhc card? The card will never work. But if it is a normal sd card you should try to format with fat 16.

I believe all 4gb micro cards are sdhc cards.

Hi gtrix,

try to use "SDFormatter 2.0.0.3 (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/SDFormatter.shtml)" for your sd card.

Try to use the microSD-adapter of the 2GB card, which worked in that combination, together with the 4GB card.
Don't know, might work, if there is a prob with the adapter.

hey all u guys i wanna clear u that fat(fat16) can address only upto 2 gb so none of ur 4 gb card get formatted as fat16. u need to faormat it using fat32. And himalya's hardware does not support fat32 addressing.

Few months back i hv also purchased a 4gb non sdhc card and a 8gb non sdhc card but none of them work on hima. by diffrent formatting method i hv managed to get 4gb on hima but I was not able to access any file which i hv putted after 2gb of memory so rest 2gb are useless.

and My prophet g4 can access both the cards but most of time i hv to face a lot of card errors and need format the card to avoid them.

Final result

DONT BUY LARGE CAPACITY CARDS UNTIL THEY R SDHC CAUSE FAT16 CANT ADDRESS THEM.

Oops!
Bought a FORMEL1 Secure Digital Professional 4GB about 2h ago;
took it right out of the box without any formatting;
put the navigation software, some pictures, mp3s and videos on it
and thats the way my memory looks like now.
And- by the way - it seems I am able to access all the files!

Sorry for this but i m pretty sure that u will report the bugs soon. CAUSE

no body here think that y all memory master company like Sandisk, kingston, transcend etc. do not manufacture the 4gb sd card instead of 4gb sdhc.

AND if someone found any non sdhc card above 2gb from these companies plz ask the retailer for WARRANTY as 3 or 5 years and try to register the card on site. u will know the fact.

[gtrix]

hope this issue gets resolved..i didn't buy the 4 GB just to keep it..i'm really eager to use it on my hima..
