Re: 8 gig micro sd wont work on my htc touch HELP!!!!
 

Far as I know, 8 gigs is currently the max available for microSDHC cards on the market. SanDisk has announced they'll release a 12 gigger sometime like mid 2008. The only 16 gig and 32 gig cards available at this time are not microSD, but regular full size SDHC, compact flash, etc. Since our Touch phones have the "SD 2.0 compatible" specification, this means they can support microSD (non HC) up to 2GB as well as microSDHC from 4GB through 32GB.

:violent2:I'm using a 6GB on my touch and it works great! My card reader in my HP desktop will not read it, but if I use the reader that came from SanDisk it reads and loads great.

Can someone tell me how to format into fat 32 ?? I am getting my 8 gig card tomorrow.
THANKS

Re: 8 gig micro sd wont work on my htc touch HELP!!!!
 

Stick the card into the reader, stick it into a USB slot, click "my computer", the reader should have a drive letter - right click it, from the drop down- click on format, under file system - click on fat 32, and click start

Actually, with the Sandisk you shouldn't even have to format it, as they come preformatted as FAT32.

I have the mogul, which isn't the same but I had an issue reading an 8 gig sandisk as well. My mogul would read the card but would only read about 4 of the total 8 gigs. I found a program at sprintmogul.net that allowed me to use the entire 8 gigs

Re: 8 gig micro sd wont work on my htc touch HELP!!!!
 

Did you get the card off of ebay? Most of the time when a card is purchased from an "off vendor", or a site like ebay, the card is formatted to LOOK like 8gb, but can be as small as 512mb. I have used 2 different cards directly from Sandisk (8gb), in both the mogul and the touch. I also owned the 6700 but only was able to test a 6gb (via MicroSD convertor) on that phone. What the scammers on ebay do is this: They use a program that rewrites the partition table on the card. This allows you to see 8gb when you pull up the card on your computer. However, once you get past the actual physical space, the card gives you an error. To test this, take 8gb of music, and try to copy the entire thing to the card. If it works, you're good. If not, unfortunately, you have been ripped off. This has become a common problem. There are many articles on the web about this type of scam. As for the phones, a very good friend of mine is a Sprint Tier 2 tech. He told me that both the Mogul and the Touch support the 8gb cards. I have tested this on both phones, and have had no problem. If your card is not working on your phone, then it is most likely the card, and not the phone itself.

if you are running XP, have you tried installing the hotifix for sdhc cards over 4gigs?
