Any way to hook your card up to a pc and check it with partition magic? it should show the real available space, and not the spoofable space listed in windows explorer.
No, PC recognizes full card and has no problem reading/writing to it. I filled it up with over 5gb of data on my PC just to test it. Also, it's been recognized on 2 different Alltel 6800's (one WM5 & one WM6) for its full capacity, but I didn't have a chance to play around with it on those devices as the store was closing. Checked it on one other Mogul at a Sprint store and it also only saw a 1.7GB card. I have checked it on my PC with Cute Partition Manager and it saw the full size. I even partitioned it into 2 and 4GB partitions, which my PC was happy with, but my Mogul still could only see 1.7GB of the card. I have since reformatted it back to its full size and it makes a great jump drive. I'd love to find someone close with a Mogul running the Alltel ROM to test it on before I put that ROM on my device as I just upgraded my Sprint ROM and reinstalled everything.
