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!
