4GB Sandisk
I have the AT&T Tilt variant, and the 4gb sandisk, and it works perfect, see it as 3878.5 MB

Yeah me too, check your sd card using the PC and see if it shows the same.

I have a Kingston 4GB microSDHC and it appeared as 4 GB on my TyTN II but I stopped using this card when the phone started showing a problem I haven't seen since I tried AKU3.x on my old JASJAM: that files vanish from directories and only reappear after a soft reset.

Couldn't be something silly like being formatted at FAT instead of FAT32 could it? Try a reformat at fat32 and see how it goes.

Did you get it off eBay? Maybe you just been sold a 'fake' card?
If you got it from a shop take it back. I once heard of people buying 1gb cards at a big chain of stores and getting 2gb cards because someone at manufacturing had put the wrong label on, possibly you got the unlucky end of the problem.

SDHC Support?

Is there a ROM that will make the miniSD slot on the Wizard capable of reading miniSDHC cards?
No. It's a hardware limitation so i don't think it will ever be possible to use those cards...
Again the SDHC question?

That's what I thought.
However, I read a post by the WM expert Menneisys, that after flashing his Wizard to the AMP 6.1 ROM (apparently the same one you use), he was able to use SDHC cards in it.
Anyone else tried this?
Believe what yo want
But i hope you can change your SDHC for a 2GB normal miniSD...
Just for Non sense expended money men...
You can use a 4GB noSDHC card! But 4GB is limit!
Works well on mine!
Mmmmm

[Q] SD Card Problems

having some problems with sd cards on the z. bought a cheap 64G card off ebay and the phone reads it as 64 gigs but when i copied a bunch of videos and pictures to it from my laptop they showed on the windows file explorer but some didn't show up when i plugged it into the phone. also pictures taken with the phone say cannot save and the videos say cannot play this file. ok so i figured i got ripped with a bogus card on ebay and thats what i get for going for a deal that seemed too good to be true. bought another card this time a 64GB sandisk ultra that i know and trust because i have had the same exact card in another phone for over a year with no problems. well lo and behold same problem with this card in my wifes z. now i'm wondering is this a hardware issue? has anyone else had problems with 64GB cards? when i first put it in it didn't ask for a format or anything so i assume the z can handle these cards. her z is completely stock unrooted and running the latest 4.2.2
Is the card formatted as exFAT? I believe it has to be to work correctly in the Z.

Get the SD Association tool from here and format the card while it's in your PC via a card reader.
If it still doesn't work, you may have a faulty/counterfeit card. Return it for a refund and if you didn't buy directly from someone reputable (even a seller on Amazon may stock counterfeit cards), then do so.

originally it didn't ask for a format, but then i got an error stating card damaged and would i like to format it. this happened while trying to transfer a folder of videos onto the card yesterday. anyways it is formatted through the phone now and i just spent hours transferring all her photos and videos back onto it. i set her camera to save to the internal memory now so we'll see if the problem persists. if it happens again i will try to format with your tool one last time. thanks for your advice!

Mi 5 64G version motherboard in 32G version?

Hey,
since I crashed my phone physically last month, I've been trying to repair it, by installing a new middle frame and display. I failed horribly. The new display cracked as well and I don't know why that happened. This is when I decided to just get a new Mi 5. Since there are important files on the old phone that I didn't backup, I came up with the idea of placing the old mainboard with 64GB of storage inside the new phone which is the 32GB version of the Mi 5.
Did anyone ever do this? It should be possible right? Or is there something fundamentally different in the smaller version of the phone?
Thanks for your help
The problem is that the phone memory is soldered to the motherboard... It actually is on top of the processor itself.

Hugo Barra teardown video with explanations.
(he talks about the memory too)
Sorry about the files.
Should be possible
Have already done this with another phone, should also be possible on this one. If it doens't work for a reason, you can just place the 32GB motherboard back.
Thank you very much for your input guys.

I'm afraid that THIS is the problem. The memory (your old 32 GB) are soldered to the motherboard. If you replace the motherboard, those old 32 GB will be gone. You'll have 64 GB but none of your old data in them. Of course, replacing the 32 GB motherboard with another 32 GB one won't solve the problem...
Sorry for bringing bad news. Regards.

I think you got that wrong.
My old broken phone is the 64G version. I bought the 32G one because it was a lot cheaper. I am placing my old 64G motherboard in the 32G phone. So the old data is on the 64G memory.

Ok, now I understand (and I should have understood before if I had read the original message carefully ). For what i understand, if the motherboard works you should have no problem. Sorry for my mistake.
Regards.
Just wanted to reply to this thread since I did the swap yesterday. It all worked!
The 32GB version of the xiaomi mi5 apparently also had a reduced base clockspeed of only 1.8GHz. My 64G board is running at 2.1GHz.
Everything is working so far without any issues.
