MicrosSD cards

*radimus* · 01-07-07, 10:43 AM

I just bought a SanDisk microSD/TransFlash 2.0 gb card via Amazon for about $70.00 and it works fine. (with SD adapter)

SDSDQ-2048-A10M

I am mentioning this because there have been posts regarding issues in getting the 8525 to either accept a 2gb card into the slot, or the phone's ability to recognize it.

In either case, I have no problems with the card, it inserted easily and was immediately recognized and mounted, once I figured out which way it went in... label down.

Now to load it up with MP3s and gps maps (which I may do without if Live Search recognizes the GPS device...)

I've only got a 1 GB card, and it works flawlessly. The problem I had with it was the slot itself.. Gotta be very careful with it. Thought I had totatlly screwed up the slot the first time I put it in, but thankfully did not. Took a pair over very tiny tweezers in order to get the card out, adjust the mechanism, and get it to work properly.

Eventually I'll upgrade to a 2 GB card.. Gotta have money for that, and I'm short on it now..

I was looking at the SanDisk 6gb microsd and was wondering if anyone has used larger than 2GB in the 8525......

If you dont mind the Kingston brand, you can get a 2gb microsd with mini and regular sd adapters, plus a usb reader, all for $16.95
And if your a first time google checkout user, you can get an additional $10 off.

Thanks Spunker but I already have a 2GB micro.... running out of room and need to upgrade

I have four 2G micro SD cards. Two are Sandisk & two are Kingston. My 8525 will recognize them but only after a soft reset. If I take the card out & put it back in it will not be recognized until I do a soft rest. I know that it isn’t just my 8525 because I have 3 in my household doing the same thing. It has to be something software related.

I am running the newest WM6 ROM from the HTC website.

Don't know what to say but I have three 8525's doing the same thing. It really isn't that big of an issue as I rarely need to remove the card anyway.

ok, just got the 6GB card I mentioned previously and I popped it into the device and 5.86GB was what came up - Soooo I guess the answer is Yes, it'll work

and BTW, no soft reset was needed to bounce back and forth to the 2GB card either

I just bought an 8gb SanDisk MicroSD for about $65.00

It mounted up quickly without reset and shows 7.59gb (currently 5.77gb free after migrating the data from my old 2gb card)

Ahhhhh GB envy.......I paid that much for my 6GB a couple of months ago...
