Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Pocket PC / October 2005Ipaq 3870
I have an ipaq 3870, just upgraded to pocket pc 2003. Can anyone recommend the best storage expansion cards for use with it and a supplier in the UK? Mainly want to start use it as a (slightly bulky) portable media player after having a couple of bad experiences with an iriver player!! Also any fav expansion packs, apps etc, and connecting it to a 3com wireless ADSL router for remote net access at home? Fraid I'll never get over the gadget freak in me :( TIA Trev Trevor, If you got the expansion sleeve with your 3870 you can use CF cards to add a TON of content. There are rather large CF microdrives that hold up to (I think) 8gigs. If you don't have the exp. sleeve you will be using SD. There are up to 2 gig cards out there but they get kind of expensive. I opted for a 1gig and the cost was not too much. You can get the SD cards at a ton of different places on the Internet and at any electronics or camera store locally. I buy my cards from Amazon usually. Darren Humphries www.SmartMobileAssets.com Thanks daz ...are expnsion sleves expensive? Best supplier?? > Trevor, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Darren Humphries > www.SmartMobileAssets.com I think you are probably best to look on eBay. The 3870 is an older unit and your sleeve is going to be used for sure. Of course, for the cost of the sleeve you might be able to get a bigger SD card. ;) There is no need for a sleeve for the SD cards.

That's strange. Maybe you will need to format the SD card. If that still doesn't work you could try hard resetting your 3870. I've used a bunch of SD cards in many PPC's and haven't seen that. Maybe even try using compressed air (for cleaning computers) to make sure SD slot is clean.

You really need to give some relevant background info if you want help. Did these cards read in your ppc previously? Do they read in other devices? Do any cards work in your ppc? >I am having a similar problem > I got a 3850 and I have just tried inserting 2 different SD cards: 512mb [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >>>>Take a look at: >>>>http://www.picstop.co.uk/Secure-Digital-(SD)/Order_1/Page_3 Both cards tested in Axim X3i The 512 mb card was used ALOT with my digital camera Neither have been tested with the 3850 before i got it from my friend and flashed it with ppc2003 Also, my friend claims that he was able to use his 256mb card with the pda > There's not enough here to be able to give you much help.

SD cards can be troublesome- temporarily try a layer of sellotape on the back of the card to make sure the contacts actually do contact. If that doesn't help then try your friends card in it again to make sure the slot really does function. If it does try a reformat of the card that wont read using a standard FAT format in case that is the issue. Format in a different pda or format through Windows- some kinds of devices can format the headers slightly differently to normal so may not be readable in all other devices. > Both cards tested in Axim X3i > The 512 mb card was used ALOT with my digital camera [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >>>>>>Take a look at: >>>>>>http://www.picstop.co.uk/Secure-Digital-(SD)/Order_1/Page_3 |
