TT3 keeps on locking up. If i run it without the CF card it appears OK. Has anyone else seen this problem?
When I insert the CF card, the sd slot becomes card2 and this causese a few shortcuts to fail. I tried a hard reset and re-install from fresh but it still does it.

I started using a 512mb Apacer SD card a couple of months ago when I installed TomTom3. It worked fine. Yesterday I did a hard reset and ran the bootloader method of unlocking the XDA2 with the SD card left in. The device no longer recognises the card, but it does see an old (Hagiwara? -brand name too small to read properly) 64mb card if I put that in.
Can a hard reset or bootloader unlock damage an SD card? Any suggestions? :roll:
The card was faulty and the vendor replaced it.
I now have a new Tom Tom problem. "Cannot open Com1 port does not exist". I thought this might be to do with bluetooth headset, but that works fine. :shock: Did another hard reset. Re-installed Tom Tom 3 and the same message comes up. Any thoughts?
Hi, I wonder if any of you have this same problem i'm having . I've loaded tomtom 5 (original software) on to my xda11 and the map's are on the cf card which is a Transcend 80x . when i start up tomtom the xda freeze's only a soft reset will bring it back to life, if i eject the cf card tt start's ok but with cf card out no map's , with the card in at any time trying to start tt it freeze's . I've also tried starting tt and inserting card but still the same. Has anyone got any ideas why i'm have this prob with the card?? i've also tried formating the card and re-Installing map's , Can you format it on xda?? STEVE.
you should rather have bought the sd card
please don't quote me but i think tomtom doesn't run well on cf cards
i think some1 will confirm or rubbish my theroy
Cheer's andy , at the moment my sd card slot is being used for the gps reciever so i'm only left with the vga/ backpack cf slot. I'll try another make of cf card just to be sure . Is there any possibility that the Transcend card is faulty?? . Thank's again , steve
as long as you can access it via your pc it should be ok
but as we've found out transcend sd cards seem to be the best for xda but not to sure about the cf cards
have you tried asking at pocket gps world they can definately sort out your problem
Thank's again for you're input ,i'll give pocket gps world ago . steve
Have you tried formatting the card to FAT and not FAT32.?

Hi all,
I have searched hi and low for the resolution to my problem. I have owned a Magician (sold as Xda II Mini) for just under a year and have a 1Gb SD card (eagletec turbo 66x speed) which has worked beautifully until two days ago
File explorer does not recognise the SD card. I have tried the SD card in other devices (e.g. PC - using a card reader, digital camera, dvd player, my friend's pda etc...) and it works fine.
I have tried inserting different SD cards into the Magician and they all get recognised ok.
I have tried soft reset and hard reset to no avail.
I have formatted the SD card using a card reader on the PC (tried both FAT and FAT32) and also tried formatting it in my digital camera.
When I insert the card into the Magician (from power off state), the Magician does light up indicating to me that there is no problem with the spring load mechanism of the expansion slot. What is strange is that when I go to Settings->System->About, I get 'Expansion Slot: Not in use'
I also tried (after a suggestion in another post) to add a "shim" of plastic of paper on the contact side of the SD card. No use.
I am reluctant to flash the ROM as I have not had any other problems with the Magician to warrant it.
Any ideas?
Have you tried cleaning the contacts of the SD card? Try soft resetting with the SD card in it.
Hi thanks for replying.
Yes I have cleaned the contacts of the SD card and also tried many soft resets with the card in and also with the card out.

Hello,
Try formatting your card with a different reader or from a Nikia phone.
Regards
Carty..
I have tried formating the card in several card readers. Still not being recognised is file explorer. Again, the card does work in any other device I put it in - just not my mini
Anyhow, I'll just use a different card for now. Just wondered if any other people had the same issue as I do.
Thanks all.
for me the same **** happened with my new, exchanged, mdac. using the sd card with the previous machine was no problem, now the card is not being recognized at all. using it in notebook, camera ... no problem.
any ideas?
i dont want to start another thread but im having the exact same problem with my MDA Compact II. I have a 1gb Toshiba SD card that wont even work in the MDA but it works fine on my camera and PC. So I would like ot know if there is a solution to this
Thanks
Hi all
I am a newbie and am experiencing the same issue, external sd card not showing up in file explorer.
Sniffer can find it and I can play media files from there. Is this the norm or do I need to change something?
I am using C&C 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final.
The 16GB card is seen by all other card readers I have tried.
Hello! Although this is my first post on the forums, I have been reading extensively through these forums for the past ferw weeks since my acquisition of my new to me MDA (i.e wizard G3). Yesterday, I took out the sd card for a few hours and now when I put the card back in the wizard is not recognizing the sd card in the file explorer. I put the card in the PC and it is recognized fine there. I reformatted the sd card via FAT and inserted it back into the wizard but no luck. I soft reset the phone several times but in vain. I then eventually hard reset the wizard and THEN inserted the sd card but still not read. I tried going through the My computer--> Manage --> Disk Management but the sd card is not showing up on it.
The sd card is clicking in and out fine from the wizard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All my medical programs were on the SD card. And with that many programs I cant just work off of the memory.
Thanks in advance

update
I installed the wm5storage and the program does not recognize the sd card either
Update
-Tried formatting to FAT with computer and re inserting did not work
-Tried Formatting with WM5storage and THAT didnt work either
-CID unlocked the phone, installed 3.08 ROM, and then "Crossbow reloaded" with 2,19 UK Radio Rom, tried inserting the sd card and still not work
-Tried formatting with "Flash Format" and the program says "no storage card detected"
I am thinking that I may have damaged the pins or something when I was reinserting the SD card, initially when I noticed the problem
2 options in front of me now!
1. buy another mini SD card and see if that works
2. Open up the Wizard to see if it is a hardware issue
Opinions etc would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Ive got the same problem with my Qtek 9100
hi i had a near identical problem occur with my xda mini, as in after removing and reinserting my sd card it was not being recognized. i happened to have a old mini sd card (only 64mb tho!) and that was recognized. so i just bought another 2gb sd and its been fine ever since, but saying that i have not removed it from my mini yet! which is getting a little annoying now as i was given a copilot kit and the software is on a mini sd card
Try removing all formatting and then allow the phone to format your card. I had a problem with my second MiniSD card after formatting on my PC.
Insert your card into your card reader. Right click "My Computer" and click on "Manage". Then left click "Disk Management", find your card and delete the partition. At this point, you can then stick the card into the phone and it will ask if you would like to format the card. Even though the computer will not recognize the card, your phone will.
Snapin Disabled
I tried the approach of right click my computer--> manage --> disk management --> but it tells me that the snappin is disabled and when I go into start--> run--> gpedit.msc --> to enable the disk management it still does not recognize my storage card in the disk management. Hence I am unable to remove the partition.
Thanks for the replies guys, any suggestions on how to enable the specific snapin on XP?
Thanks

New Mini SD Card
OK, so in attempts to diagnose the problem, I went out today and purchased another 1gb minisd card, inserted it into the wizard and................NOTHING. Still no luck. Does this narrow down to the problem to a hardware pin related issue? Or could this still be a software problem. I figured that a new sd card may resolve the issue but unfortunately not, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ideas? Suggestions? Recommendations?
Thanks in advance

If you tried another card and a new ROM, I would say it is a hardware issue, if it's still under warrantee then I would send it in. If it's not and you want to try to fix it yourself, there is the HTC wizard maintenance manual (Google search) that will give you step by step instructions on how to disassemble it. Or sell it on eBay then use the money to buy a new one.
Hi,
I've had a 1GB SD card in my wizard for months with no problems at all. I had some software installed on the card and the other day I wanted to free up some space so I uninstalled the apps that were on the card (SPB time, SPB shell and Brain school)...Since then, my phone does not recognise the SD card. There are no errors or anything it just doesn't register that the card is there. I've done a factory reset but this has not helped.
I'm running WM5 with a moleski updated ROM that has been on the phone probably a year or so
Any ideas?
I guess the card must be knackered, I tried it in my camera and the camera wouldn't work either. weird how just removing software could kill the SD card...
Run the card in a card reader on a computer. There, you should be able to do a long format/bad sector search. This will tell you once and for all if it's dead. It's the only way to be sure.
i have exactly the same problem and its happened twice now. the data is fine on the card just wm5 doesnt recognise its existence any more... if you wipe your phone and start again it pops back to life
I've tried a factory reset (hold the four buttons then press send) but this hasn't fixed the problem....I need to buy a card reader I guess to check for sure
