Re: Sandisk MicroSDs don't seem to work
 

Oh the micro-to-mini SD adapter is a Kingston one, but that can't be an issue since it's just a wire pass-through.

Re: Sandisk MicroSDs don't seem to work
 

Card adapters have plenty of contact issues - about half of mine are entirely dead or work only with some cards and/or devices.

Re: Sandisk MicroSDs don't seem to work
 

I don't even get an error on the N810, but dmesg(1) is full of suggestions similar to the one posted earlier in this thread. Heh.

I've reformatted in an N95, a BlackBerry, computers, to no effect.

A bug has now been opened for this issue - I've linked to this thread but suggest you post details and/or vote in order to get more attention. Or avoid SanDisk adapters and/or MicroSD cards, whichever is easiest.

Re: Sandisk MicroSDs don't seem to work
 

I would like to state that I have a N810 and a SanDisk 6GB microSDHC card in a SanDisk MicroSD(HC) to MiniSD(HC) adapter and it works perfectly, and displays, out of the box, under 'file manager' 5.69GB of space available.

I haven't tried the card in any other device, as I said, it's out of the box, let me know if you want any other details, but I think it's all said.

Ditto, but with a Sandisk 4gb micro

Re: Sandisk MicroSDs don't seem to work
 

I got my sandisk 8gb micro sdhc with sandisk minisd adapter
it doesn't work, even my card reader on pc doesn't read it.

I don't think there is anything wrong with 8gb micro sdhc.
I think the adapter is screwed up...

I don't know what to do...
is there a different adapter for SDHC
or just mini adapters should work fine?


One other big issue how do you guys take the card out
once inserted?

Re: Sandisk MicroSDs don't seem to work
 

I've decided to use the 6GB card in my phone. If nothing else I can no record like 2 hours of 640x480 30fps mpeg4 and store a ton of music.

I need to do some homework and find a 6GB or 8GB card for the tablet that works. I can't find a Kingston that big though.

Re: Sandisk MicroSDs don't seem to work
 

Ok. I have been reading comments on this forum for the last few days and would now like to share my experience.
Call me a lucky swine if you will but my wife bought me an N810 for Christmas. Having got over the initial surprise I decided to go on line and buy the biggest external memory card I could find which of course turned out to be the Sandisk 8GB Micro SD card with a Mini SD adapter. The card duly arrived and was inserted into the N810 with great excitement. It didn’t work!!!!
I then googled around and discovered this forum and soon discovered I wasn’t the only person with the problem. Having read the post from Milhouse in which he advised the fact that he had raised a bug report I then went and voted for the fix.
In the meantime I went and purchased a 2GB micro SD and using the same Mini SD adaptor previously used with the 8GB card inserted it in to the N810 and found that it worked. A couple of days ago I received an automated mail from a maemo support person suggesting that it was the adaptor at fault and that he used a certain adapter from :-http://www.nextdaymemory.co.uk/device/microsd_to_minisd_adapter-157076.html With some scepticism I decided to order one and it arrived in the post today. I inserted the 8GB Micro SD into the new Mini SD adapter and half heartedly inserted it into the N810. IT WORKED!!!
I can now see 7.59 GB of external memory!!
It would appear then that the less than 4 GB cards work ok on most adapters but above this it is a little more picky.
Hope this helps others

Re: Sandisk MicroSDs don't seem to work
 

Sandisk 1GB microSD (not SDHC) in adapter working fine for me on N810.

EDIT: I think Sard hit the nail on the head. Knowing Sandisk's history of excellent performance and usability (compared to some other brands), I would suspect the adapter first.

Disclaimer: I own Sandisk stock. :D
