Nice one...

In case it helps, I installed the cab file into my Axim x51v (yes, I was shaking :fishsmack: ). It now has an application called "HTC SDHC", which can also be uninstalled (not sure what happens if you do that but I guess it will bring everything back to what it was?). My 4GB (non SDHC) SD card still works fine with this installed.

Anybody having a SDHC and willing to try on a Glofiish?

I'll see if I can get one at the local Staples, on the condition that I can return it if it doesn't work.

If so, I'll try it on my M700

From his posts, I think IAN8888 has already tried this and basically blown the 4Gb card away. He has definitely confirmed that the X500+ WILL NOT support SDHC as it is shipped.

But did IAN8888 try the 4GB SD after installing this new SDHC driver that is discussed here? It looks like his posts are before the discovery of this new driver...

This is NOT a patch to try and fix any issue with 4GB NON-SDHC cards !

After installing this software, I have just used an external reader to copy my plain (full) 2GB card to a 4GB SDHC card AND ADDED a further 1000 music tracks, making nearly 4GB in all.

IT SEEMS TO WORK in my X500

I don't know what bugs might be present yet, so if you do decide to use it, at your own risk !

Congratulations to user "ckingho" for finding this "holy grail" software !

Works for me too. So far.
Bought my 500+ with 4GB MicroSD Card in June in Sweden.
The card didn't work. Bought a 2GB MicroSD Card which worked fine 'til a couple of weeks ago when I started to get plagued by the missing and or corrupted files and folders syndrome - well, twice anyway.
Was considering aKingston card instead.
The new driver came just in time, but.... I'll be keeping a card backup on my pc this time round - just in case.
Cheers, Greg

Ok COOL...

i think the best way to know if the drivers are ok, is to install: Pocket mechanic Pro and to run some test like: card benchmark and Lack analyses..

I have installed the driver on my X500+ but i don't have a SDHC card tot test..

i will wait for the 8 gig from samsung!

:rolleyes:

I've confirmed that with this driver, the 4GB card can be written as well as read, basic phone functionality still works and activesync still works.
I'm running continuous read tests at the moment to see if it gets any errors.

Unfortunately I've not got Pocket Mechanic, but I shall certainly keep using the card and see how it goes.
Of particular interest is whether there is any adverse effect on power management, especially bearing in mind that the drivers appear to have been originally written for different hardware.

Actually I wasen't missing the point - as I said I have been following the thread and just wanted to add my 2peneth just to clear up any mis-conceptions on the FAT16/FAT32 issue., I should have made myself clearer... I really hope someone comes up with a solution, where there is a will there is a way....

I think you may be missing the point. The firmware in the X500, and also the X800 on ETEN's own say so, cannot reliably read/write FAT32 beyond 2Gb - although the practical limitation for FAT32 is 32Gb. To repeat the point made so often here - the firmware in the X500 cannot reliably read/write beyond 2Gb. I have tested this to the point of extinction of a 4Gb SDHC card.

To read/write (including formatting) SDHC cards on a PC, I use a SanDisk ImageMate 5 in 1 card reader. This seems to handle the specific formatting required of SDHC cards. Toshiba have clearly supplied a USB adaptor with their own card for the same purpose.

I don't know if the Axim x51c is SDHC-enabled. Is it claimed to be so by the manufacturer ?

Try the Wiki for more detailed data on SDHC.
