I bought 2 of these and have found that only 4GB is visible on my K800i (K810i firmware)
Is is possible to get the K800i to see the full 8GB? |

It does support it, but it can't show more than 4 GB. Don't worry, you'll still have all the 8 GB's when using it

I can't remember if it'll make use of the first 4 gigabytes and then show memory status for the remaining 4 gigabytes, or how it's done. And as far as I remember there's something about the file system changing when cards get to 4 gigabytes... to FAT32, I think.

I'll put lots of stuff on one (Mavbe a full Movie!) and see how it behaves.
....so how do I get a movie to work on it! |

i guess you can do it the manual way by putting it in a card reader and look at the properties on the comp lmao. |

I can confirm that 8GB is visible with 8GB stick IN handset and connected to PC in file transfer mode. (i.e. Right click on removable media icon and click properties, 8GB)
So it looks like memory is just misreported on the phone.
I'll post any more findings if I can get M3 to work!

I've just changed for a K810i.
I had stuff on the M2, and the 8Gb M2 shows up with just under 7GB, so it looks like the K810i reports it correctly.
I have yet to get M3 working satisfactorily, but the prospect of storing a couple of movies on something the size of your fingernail is something to look forward to!

I've just noticed that Available Stick Memory is only misreported in 'Phone Status'. If you go into File Manager and 'Memory Status', you see the Actual remaining capacity.
Tested on K550, K800 and K810. |

I don't know if this answers both questions...
My K810 was on R6.
I have now flashed it to R8 via SEUS.
Phone status showed 4095MB free
Memory Status in File Manager showed 6924MB
I deleted a bunch of old photos, so now...
Phone status shows 4095MB free
Memory Status in File Manager shows 6935MB
Apart from misreporting memory in phone status, the handset is quite happy with the 8GB |
