just curious, what do you guys put on your big SD cards like 4GB?

I dont know why you wouldnt want to format the card... its most likely not necessary but it shouldnt cause any problems

The real test is to format the media with your bb. After my post above I put the 6GB Sandisk in my curve, verfied that it shows 5.60GB. Then let bb format the media. The capacity changes to 1.96GB. This is where the problem lies. I believe it has to do with the bb OS trying to format a 6GB media. 8GB device does not have this problem at least on my curve. I can test on 8800 but just haven't gotten around to it.

Dubdub says to not format the SD but if you don't format then you are not testing the problem.

John you say you've formatted a 6GB SD and had no problem. I don't have any problem with 2, 4 or 8GB SD but with 6GB I have the issue. Anybody with 8GB SD having any issue?

I'm curious too - not much into music, but I would like to use the storage capabilities to store other files. Also, is there an app out there that allows you to access the file structure in the handheld w/out going thru the pc?

thanks

Use the Media app and select Explore from the menu.

Until 4.3, the curve maxes out @ 4GB. Some have 6GB working, but not 100% have success. My 4GB works great

I've noticed a number of people report this on a variety of devices and cards. I have the same problem with my 2GB in my TMO 8320. Family members have also had the same trouble with the 2GB in a TMO Pearl. I'd consider it par for the course right now.

If however you have a device/card combination that transfers at 'normal' speeds, please let me know.

does this apply to the 8130, because i know its states that it supports 8 gig micro sd, any links on where i can get one.

I have an 8GB card, it shows as 8GB in the BB but plugged into the PC only shows as 3.6GB. Have done a full format but still the same. Very frustrating

What OS are you running. you need to be running 4.3+ to be able to use all 8GB. If you arent running 4.5 (4.3.1 was replaced by the name 4.5) then you can follow the links in the 8800 forum (the sticky at the top) and it will show you how to update.

i have music, pictures, videos converted and videos recorded.

music i actually changed to 44kbit wma to make files smaller and not lose quality. for videos converted i use the bbvideo app, DVD's and clips. to store pictures taken with phone as well as videos. actually also documents with documents to go, gps tracks wit bb tracker. ringtones and voice notes. i think thats its. i have the 4gb, debating getting the 8gb and see if it works with the new os.

Well its a brand new device so I expected it to have the latest OS but it looks like I only have 4.2. Better look into getting it upgraded I guess!
