- SDHC is not yet supported on the Flame but an upgrade has been found. Unfortunately this upgrade do not let you use wifi. You have to choose SDHC or Wifi.

MicroSD Cards
Other members on Forum XDA Developers stated that the Kingston 2 GB Micro SD
works OK. I have just installed one & after several soft resets & transfers to the disc
I can report it is working just fine.

Patriot 2 GB MicroSD works fine for me. No problems ever.

Kingston is a brand I'd recommend (it's my first choice among brands), but I have no idea as to its MicroSD compatibility with the Flame.

O2's "official line" is that only 1 GB MicroSD cards are supported.

k.satirli · 2007-08-17 12:55:09

Any thoughts on SanDisk?

Knightro · 2007-08-17 13:12:22

I'm using 2GB Transcend. From time to time, my Flame cannot recognize my card. It will create subdirectory "Storage Card" for my Inbox' attachment then rename my microSD with "Storage Card2" after recognizing it.

thierryb · 2007-08-17 15:13:54

2gb cards are officially supported by o2 (it's on the faq of the Flame in the o2 site), even if o2 support have told me the contrary. I have asked them a list, but they have not.

At present we have problem with Transcend and Sandisk, but not for all of us.

I have already tested a 4gb sdhc from sandisk, but even after reinserted more than once, it was not recognized. O2 support told me that sdhc is not supported, but I do not trust them anymore!

mpayne · 2007-08-17 20:02:46

Isn't there any possibility in the future to make it possible to read sdhc-cards ?
I think I read something about HTC roms that have been modified to make the sdhc working.
What do you think ?

thierryb · 2007-08-17 23:58:45

I think we do not know enough about the components of the flame. But if the sd hardware is sdhc compatible we will be able to activate it like the xda devs have done it for the htcs.

k.satirli · 2007-08-18 02:16:24

for everyone else who, like me, has / had no clue what SDHC means, check out this link

seal · 2007-08-20 04:59:42

So is the message here, 4gb card do not work in Flame, has anyone had any sucess. I really want to get one but I also want it to work.

cwkj · 2007-08-20 08:26:31

4GB HC microSD will not work if Flame still does not support HC type of microSD.

Not sure if microSD has normal 4GB. If it exists, maybe will work.

When I was using Uni Cooked Rom AKu3.5 by Helmi, I bought 2 normal (non HC) 4GB SD and works. It also does not support HC type of SD although the \Windows\ directory has a HCSD.DLL. Guess it maybe hardware.

leek · 2007-08-20 08:53:49

Normal MicroSD doesn't go higher than 2 GB.

cwkj · 2007-08-20 12:48:21

Very sad that there is no normal 4GB microSD.

My 2GB is almost filled. Have yet to moved them to the Main Memory.

Normal SD has 4GB.

Normal SD has 4GB.

Me also, my 2GB is already full because creating backups of our 2GB ROM require more memory. I hope there is a way of supporting 4GB microSDs.

thierryb · 2007-08-22 09:23:59

Mine too. And you are right, 2 gb is awful, please O2 and Arima reduce the size of the nvram to 128 ou 256 mb like other manufacturers...

thierryb · 2007-08-22 09:25:18

... or implement sdhc.

If you want to know what we prefer just ask us!

meneinei · 2007-09-07 08:06:20

i have a sandisc 2gb ...and it reads after i insert it for the first time...then after it goes into sleep mode...it wont recognise it when i turn it back on... repeat insertion wont read either, unless i put the dummy card back into it and take it out then re-insert my sandisc card...it reads again anyone has the same problem??

thierryb · 2007-09-07 08:42:21

We have all the same problem with sandisk, except perhaps one or two of us.

k.satirli · 2007-09-07 10:05:37

just wanted to note that I got myself a 1 gig Kingston and its working perfectly

leek · 2007-09-07 12:07:29

Anyone else tried Patriot? I'd be interested in other successes or perhaps failures.

I only keep the latest backup in the 2GB MicroSD.

The older backups are somewhere else.

Shigeru · 2007-09-09 16:34:59

Has anyone already tried this SDHC.cab on Xda Flame?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr … amp;page=4

thierryb · 2007-09-09 19:50:04

Just installed. No impact on standard microsd. The 2 gb sandisk bug is always here. I will try an sdhc card as soon as possible.

2 files are installed:
\Windows\sdbus.dll 48632 bytes (old 45820)
\Windows\sdmemory.dll 15664 bytes (old 11636)

Shigeru · 2007-09-10 15:36:07

I find following two files in my \Windows directory.

\Windows\sdhc.dll 18.98KB
\Windows\sdhc_hx.dll 17.73KB

Do these files not new?

I have just placed order of a TOSHIBA microSDHC 4GB Class4. I will get it by this weekend.

mpayne · 2007-09-10 15:52:00

@Shigeru
Ok, I just looked at my directory, I couldn't find those files. I checked, I have the same rom version as for example thierryb: WWE_RC1070309.
Which one is yours ? Interesting to know.....

I use the kingston 2 GB microsd and I can even backup and restore directly from the storage card. It is always recognized.

Hey, this Eten X500 is actually a PPC Phone with MicroSD. The Eten Forum sdhc.cab only provide 2 files sdbus.dll & sdmemory.dll and claims it works. But not sure if other files needed beside the 2 files.

Some in the xda forum also mentioned it works on treo wm5 & wm6.

Looks good.

But the Trinity and Eten ROM has sdhc_sc2410.dll which is meant for Samsung MicroP while Flame has sdhc_hx.dll, not sure if it will works. If it still does not work on Flame, we have to search for Eten & Treo's ROM and extract and compare the SD files.

@thierryB

What is your investigation outcome?
