Re: 32GB Micro SDHC folder

Hi,

I think it's because those folders are hidden.
In Linux, Unix, AIX when a folder starts with a period it is hidden.

Just tested myself on my MMC and I can't see any hidden folders on the file manager.

Just create folders like Sounds, Video etc. without them starting with a period.

Re: 32GB Micro SDHC folder

Your 32GB memory card works on N900?
In some website, N900 could take 16GB memory card max!

N900 is capable of reading SDHC cards, so in theory as much as this technology can have in size, N900 can read it. ( Right now it`s 32gb maximum I guess, don`t know if anyone has already put on market 64 gb cards )

Re: 32GB Micro SDHC folder

Since 32GB, I think FAT32 format is better...
So you said that N900 can read 32GB memory card and more?

NB : On Unix systems (Linux/Mac OS/Solaris etc.), hiddens files have a point before their name (for example, .hidden is and hidden file).

It should work, even my 500GB external hard drive worked perfectly in host mode :)

The only reason Nokia sometimes specifies a limit is that they don't talk about things they haven't tested, and whenever they publish the specs they haven't tested things that don't exist yet. I have a 32GB memory card, btw, works fine on my N900.

Oh, and on the subject of hidden files -- there are alternate file managers for the N900, and most of them have a setting that allows them to unhide hidden files.

Re: 32GB Micro SDHC folder

The N900 can read any SDHC compliant cards. SDHC has a maximum volume size of 32GB.

Any SD card higher then that would be SDXC compliant and the N900 can't read that format.

(SDXC maximum volume size of 2TB)

Is the problem with SDXC compatibility related to proprietary filesystem or is there a hardware limitation?

how did you come to that conclusion?
the N900 should read SDXC fine, it's just a matter of the filesystem in use. if you want to use the SDXC card under windows as well, it might be a bit tricky since exFAT for Linux isn't there yet (as far as i know), but if you format the card with ext3 there shouldn't be any problem.

see this thread f.ex.

Re: 32GB Micro SDHC folder

Well was just cruising and found this thread, just tested my Kingston 64 GB class 10 memory card (model: SD10A/64GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) on my N900 and works like a charm!

And on the topic of .folders, if you're not using a Unix/Linux machine and are stuck on PC/MAC, then you can use Xterminal to copy/move your files and folders on SD card.

First get access to be in root by installing "chroot"

Xterminal Commands:

Code:

1. sudo gainroot



2. cd /home/user/MyDocs/



3. for moving the file/folder to SD card:



mv {file/foldername} /media/mmc1



4. for copying the file/folder to SD card:



cp {file/foldername} /media/mmc1

OR you can use 3rd party explorer softwares to access your files like "CuteExplorer".
