:shock:
I've been running the 4.00.10 beta along with new T-Mobile radio stack on my T-Mobile phone since thursday morning. It's been pretty stable.
But tonight I lost everything on my SD card again. Anybody else had this problem with the latest rom? What brand of SD cards are you using, if it has happened?
Any new software installed?
Last software I installed was Pocket Plus last night, but it seems to have been working ok up until the big kaboom.
Ok, of to do a hard reset and install things again. Fun fun!
Pocket plus has known issues with pppc2003. I have found that it's storage card module may cause problems with sd card erasures. Delete it and try resco taskmanager instead. It's not as intuitive but works great.
FYI the same thing has happened to a friend of mine and he called T-Mobile and they're sending him a new unit.
BTW he was running T-Mobile ROM 4.00.10 RS A.20 on the T-Mobile USA Network using a Sandisk 256MB SD.
I've had it hose my Sandisk 256mb card several times now, even with no other software installed.
A while back I read somewhere about some PocketPCs (Not PPC Phones) having problems with the sandisk cards erasing themselves. I am wondering if something in WM2003 is making them exhibit this behavior on the PPC Phone :shock:
sd disk erase
Same thing happened to me, It otherwise works well
Is it the brand of memory??? or version 4
Maybe a combination of a certain kind of sd card and the 4.0 os? Hmmm
sd erasure
Had the same with my XDA. I have an scandisk 256 mb unit inserted.
2 weeks ago I upgraded with a cooked version of the wm2003 .05 After a few days, when turning the decice off, I couldn't turn it on again using the on-switch button. Had to soft-reset to get started... Also at one time the device told me that my sd card was locked, but in fact had still 180 MB's left!!
I coocked a 2002 version in the kitchen and was lucky to be able to downgrade... Formated my SD card using my scandisk cruser mobile USB dard adaptor....
Now everything is ok on 2002. The wm2003 seems still very unstable to me
I posted a message with another string to get informed if it is still advisable to upgrade to 2003 at this time...
The webmaster himself did'nt encounter it personally yet but he stated that he only has the card in place occasionaly...
L8er
Sandisk 256
Have had mine erase once and has corrupted itself once more on the 4.00.5 rom....both happened after unit appeared to lock up and I soft reset.
Just checking to see which people have had sd card erasures with which ROM.
I have had sd card erasures with 4.00.05.
I have had erasures on the 4.00.05 and 4.00.10 ROMs. So far (knock on wood) I haven't had any problems with the 4.00.16.
That being said, it seems like when it is about to erase your card, everthing gets really slow and it stops responding. I've had that start to happen once or twice under the new rom, but I've popped out the card and done a soft reset. Put the card back in after that and all is well.
I am not sure if it really was getting ready to self destruct, but it was slowing down.
Had no problems under 4.00.05 and 4.00.10 This morning my sd card was erased under 4.00.16 Have just restored my data and locked the damn sd card.
SD Erasure
I have had mine erase under 4.00.5 but so far so good under 4.00.11.
Just idea: Is anybody have "spontaneous SD erasure" problem wit NO SUNDISK SDs ?
:wink:
I had "spontaneous SD erasure" with Panasonic SD
ROM v. 4.00.05 :twisted:
And since moment upgraded ROM 4.00.16 not yet :roll:
SD Erasure
It's gone again for me....under 4.0.11 this time....am going to try swapping from a 256 card to 128 today to see if it makes a difference....Any else had any revelations as to what's causing it?
SD Erasure
Same problem today with Sandisk 128 meg SD Card.
Hmmm..its strange.
I never have a problem with any of the 1.2 4.05 and 4.11 roms.
Being a 32MB unit I have virtually no prog installed in main memory but the kitchen 4.11 is fully packed until 2k remaining.
Could it be one of the programs in your machine?
Try not installing any.
Anyone else with no problem? Please speak up.

Erasures under 4.00.05, 4.00.11
128MB MMC Card (MMC Association)
FYI, I've been running rom version 4.00.16 (plain vanilla version, no rom kitchen additions), with a minimal number of programs installed for a couple weeks now. No SD losses yet. I am thinking there must still be some software that's not compatible with WM 2003 that's causing the problems for people.
Another problem - can't format any card under WM2003... I thought that it was caused by FlashFormat (I thought it's not compatible with WM2003). But with the new version of FlashFormat for WM2003 the same problem... Has anyone this problem too?
Hmmm can't say that I've actually tried to format a card under 2003. I always use my card reader for that.
Today I have "spontaneous SD erasure" with Panasonic SD 256MB
ROM version. 4.00.16 -Crazy
:twisted:
:twisted: :twisted:
Who can find this bug???
Are you a hero :?:
Waiting for Developers :wink: or somebody :?:
Thank,
Yesterday again... And today again! That's impossible! But I've found something that may be interresting. So I have a question - do you remember if you have performed a soft reset at the day the card was erasured?
Because - I have... And it looked like the system boot last longer before I found the card is erasured...
What about the others?
QUESTION FOR VAN:
------------------------
Do you have a plain version like GregP74 or you have cooked your own in the kitchen?
from the J. kitchen
10 days no problem :shock:
Today try to upgrade clean ROM 4.00.16 but kitchen is not working now :?: :?: :?:
Hm, I want to detect where the problem can be... Can all of us build a list of apps you have included to your ROMs?
Maybe some application is not really fully cpmpatible with WM2003, as someone said...
Thank you
@wuffi
Maybe you are right
I made last soft reset and It seems little bit longer than normal
I had "spontaneous SD erasure" with Toshiba SD
ROM v. 4.00.11 (7-10 days after ROM upgrade).
hi,
i have this 4GB SDHC installed on my dopod 838pro (hermes)... and have lots of software installed on it.. the problem is after "off" mode (hybernate), all installed softwares on the SD card is not readable and can not run anything.. you can browse the folders but all are empty... what i always do is i will eject and insert the sd card and all goes well again.. does any one knows the best solution for this? I searched google and i have not find this problem/solution.. thanks in advance...
a think that the maximum is 2G
I use an 8 Gb card, no problems. May be the sd card, may be the rom you are using. Try backing up the sd card then re-formatting it FAT32. Transfer everything back and re-insert. Go to "hybernate" then power back up. See if that works.
The 2nd thing to try is change your ROM.
Or try another sdhc card. It may be a faulty card.
Cheers...
i have almost the same problem (4GB Kingston microSDHC). some of the folders remain empty and i don't know why.
i've changed 3 ROMs and with the last one (official) happened just for one folder till now. anyway it seems that the official rom is far more stable than the cooked ones and everything works as it should.
is there any wm6.1 rom that can be as stable as official wm6.0?
anyway, i've seen this problem metioned by others and I don't know what the cause is: card, pda or ROM.
maybe is out there someone that can help.
@ultramag: what ROM are you using?
re
mine is also 4GB Kingston.. maybe the Kingston is the problem.. my current rom is CRC v13.3
I'm yesying the new WM 6.5 rom by section8prime8, build 21139. Seems to work fine so far but only had it on for a couple of days. No problem with sdhc though... On ANY rom I've tried....
I have Pocket ScummVM and Pocket UAE on an SD (not SDHC) card, and up until two days ago they both ran fine, yesterday i upgraded my radio stack and now whenever i run either of these apps they stick in the loading state and i have to soft reset to terminate them. I can still run Sim City 2000 from the SD card so i'm wandering if it's some kind of transfer bottleneck/issue.
radio: latest (1.18)
rom: latest tomal WM 6.1
will try copying everything off the card, reformatting and copying it back, see if that helps

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try to reinstall the apps
seems to be general issues, last night adobe flash claimed to be out of memory, when there should be plenty, so i'm wandering if it's a RAM issue and nothing to so with the SD card or apps specifically. The Tomal rom includes a flash disk which s taking up 16mb can i turn that off somehow?
cycloid, the flash disk doesn't take up 16mb.
please read wiki Memory and Storage Types
so many people seem to make this same mistake
either the cook is very nice and gives you a flash disk, or you don't have one, and that memory is lost to you completely
thanks for pointing me at that info, ramdisk is actually quite cunning then!. I still suspect i have a ram or general memory marshalling issue, hmm..
fixed kinda. I had the 9.6 tomal rom, put 8.81 on it and all is good.
Hello folks,
I figured I would go to the experts to get an answer to my question.
On my universal I was running Windows Mobile 6.1, I didn't really like it as the phone was unstable, so I downgraded to Tmobile Windows Mobile 5 (which is what ships on the phone) everything is running smooth (Shout out to SPB Shell 3.0 AWESOME!!!)
anyways after the downgrade which went through without incident, my SD card reader does not SD cards, I know it is not hardware because it worked fine when the device was running WM6.1.
Anyome have any ideas as to what happened?
the device simply does not recognize any size, 32MB all the way to 2GB.
I have searched and found nothing.
Anyone have an updated driver for the SDCard reader?
I have extRom installed so I can put whatever I want into EXTRom and have it install.
Crapgame
It's because native WM5 can't use SDHC (SD cards are only up to 2GB). I think you can simply install SD settings by OllieD - where you can change to Type 1 or 2. Sorry unless someone else can help, you'll have to search for it.
I think i have the same issue.
The device sometimes see the card when set to standard SD or SDHC Type-I but it's really inconsistent.
Driving me nuts.
I had a similar problem, i had to eject and reinsert the card multiple times to get it to see it. The card SEEMED fine because it would work in my pc (via usb adapter)) and digital camera with no problems. But when i tried the one from the camera in the universal it worked fine, absolutely no problems.
So I bought a new sandisk one from ebay and all has been fine since, seems like it was being picky about the original SD!
i think, the sd card is formatted fat16
you formatted with "Haret"?
Haret?
Sorry for the noob question, but what do you mean?
I have tried formatting the card fat16, fat32, NTFS
nothing works
I have even tried install SD settings by OllieD adn that did not work
according to the specs I should be able to use my 2GB Sandisk Extreme III 2.0 GB SD Card, but alas my uni just does not see it.
any other suggerstions tips?
Also does spbsoftwarehouse's backup work really well?
I want to try some other ROMS on the device and I dread having to reinstall everything and reconfigure it too.
I would much rather back the dang thing up then experiment with various ROMS and then if nothing is to my liking, put my old ROM back with all my 'stuff'.
I have similiar problem.
In the past I have changed many ROM's from Tomal and many others. WM 5, 6.1, 6.5 and never had a problem with the card.
My last ROM where everything worked was Luca15thebig. After that I wanted to go back to Tomal V8.9 and then my problem started:
I did DOC format (always do that), put Tomal's ROM - ups, no SD card (with any SD card settings).
Did some searching on the forum, found similiar problem which was solved by flashing some factory shipped i-mate ROM. Again, DOC format, flashing that ROM (it is all-in-one ROM: radio, ext-rom and operating system). Booted that system (wow, time-warp to past ), frankly I didnt expect that my 8GB SDHC will work there - and it didnt.
Again DOC format> flashing Tomal V8.9 ROM> upgrading radio (that i-mate ROM reverted it back to 1.03). After a while booted Uni with Tomal's ROM, no SD card. Tried all settings, nothing.
Tried same thing but with that new Thing V2.3 ROM (very fast and stable BTW). Same thing - no SD card in file explorer.
My card works in my laptop. I even tried to format it in laptop - and my Uni still dont see it.
My friend has an Uni and I tried that card in his device. It works (he is using Tomal V8.7 ROM). Tried his 1GB SD card in my Uni - not working in my device.
Im no specialist but i think you guys have a hardware issue with the SD port. Maybe loose or something inside. Hope thats not the case. If multiple cards using multiple Roms do not work in Uni but work anywhere else then I would have someone or myself check to make sure the SD slot is soldered properly still.
i've encounted many issues with the SD + sdhc drivers for the universal, i'llw rite up a longer post with more information later as i've had a long day.
summary: keep trying different cabs, one will eventually work. make sure its formatted FAT32. popping it in and out+softresetitng a few times may be required.
