W800 and 8gb m2 |

I just got my 8gb m2 card, and when I inserted it with the adapter, it says 3574mb(3.5gb) memory remaining after I formatted it in the phone. When I connect my phone to my computer, the USB mass storage says there are 7.5gb remaining, which is to be expected. Not a big problem because it still works with the phone, but I believe that the w800 can only display up to 4gb in phone status, even though it can accept a memory card higher than that.
Did anyone else experience this, or does anyone know how to fix this?
I have a k750-->w800 firmware r1bc002. |

You can use only upto 4gb pro duos...........the 8gb one cant be used as its FAT32 while k750i/w800i is FAT16.....

My phone hangs for about 10-15secs after insertion, but after that it runs smooth. The only thing is half the memory on the card doesnt show. |

Good news. The 8gb m2 works flawlessly with my w800. Ive filled the card to its capacity. Its just that when you check memory status of the card, the phone reads it in 2 halves.
For example, each half is 4gb. Lets say you only fill up 1gb, the card will display 3gb left in memory status. It is showing how much memory is remaining in the first half. If you use up 5gb, the phone will also display 3gb remaining, but it is displaying the second half of the memory, since the first one has been used up.
For those who said that W800 is only compatible with FAT16 and not FAT32 memory, my card is FAT 32 and it works fine. |
