Memory Card microSDHC Compatibility Issues?

Hi, everyone,

I've recently bought a Xperia mini pro (sk17i) and I'm having a problem with the memory.

I tried to replace the original 2GB microSD card with a 4GB microSDHC Sandisk (Class 4) but it didn't work. I formatted the microSDHC to FAT32 but still didn't work on the XMP. I put the card in other devices and it works fine.

That being said, these are my questions:

1. Does the phone only accept microSD cards?

2. Is it memory class issue? I've read many posts about this topic on the internet that say the phone does read classes 2, 6 and 10 but it has troubles with class 4 cards.

3. Could this issue be fixed with a software update? That would be awesome, since I don't wanna buy a new card.

Thanks in advance.

For my SK17i I tried two 32 GB SDHC Class 10 cards from Kingmax and Kingston. Both didn't work reliable. Finally I bought a Transcend 32 GB Class10/UHS-1 card that made it.
