MicrosSD cards

*radimus* · 01-07-07, 09:43 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
sdsdqr-8192-e11m - Google Product Search

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...
