SD size problem
 

I have an 8GB SD card. When I put it into the 6900, it only recognizes 4GB. I was led to believe that this phone could do 8GB. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks!

what brand, where did you purchase it from? i have a sandisk 8gb and mine shows 8 gig just fine.
do you have stock or some other Rom?

I know there's some threads discussing memory cards getting corrupted after a while but not recognizing half of the capacity I've not heard. i haven't had any problems with mine. did your memory card come formatted already? or did you format yourself? it could also be the file system the card was formatted to? also try a different rom.

it says that it's formatted as FAT16. I don't know if that makes a difference compared to FAT32 or NTFS.....?

also, i have an adapter that goes to a usb flash drive and when I put it in there and check on my computer, I get 8GB, but when I put it in the phone, I get the half.

could it be the formatting or the rom?

thanks

Interesting ... presuming that it is blank (no data yet), I'd be interested in knowing the results if you were to format it as Fat32 on your PC card reader and after formatting as Fat32, see what the PPC sees.

i could do that and get back to you

and WM6 was made to handle high capacity memory cards, but for Sanderz6900's case i may find rare. i've heard of a case with another touch owner about an 8GB card messing some dude's touch up bigtime from a sprint rep. i for one never had that problem with my mogul at all.

ok so it turns out that I checked again using the adapter and it shows 7.35GB of available space on my computer but when i check with total commander in the device it only has 3824.2MB!?!?

What is going on here?

Is this after formatting the card as FAT32, using the adapter connected to your desktop/laptop PC?
