My XDA II does not locate sandisk wifi only card since latest rom was installed worked fine before. Installed latest driver etc. Have done several soft resets remove insert card. Using PocketWinc. Any ideas?
If your XDA detects other SD cards then nothing is wrong with your SD slot.
Did you try the WIFI card in another XDA/PDA? May it is dead!
Other wise did you try a hard resetting your XDA?

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.
After using my vario 2 for a while the mem card becomes unusable.
It's shows no free space at all. I have a 1 gb memory that came with my t-mob vario 2.
My mp3 ring tone doesn't work anymore. I have to remove and reinsert the memory card or soft reset the device.
Radio 1.20.31.10
Rom: 1.21.114.3
Any idea's what could be the problem?
Thanks
The smilar problem occured with one of my XDA-II (Himaliya), Even though I have hard reseted the device. Finnaly I have backuped the card through the pc and format the card (on PC) and it wasn't working, even though I have tried 3 other cards and they were working absolutely fine with the device. What I did was to leave the card inside the device for overnight and it was recognisable in the morning, then I took out the card from the device to put the data back from the PC and once I have put the card back in the device the card wasn't recognisable again, So finaly I left the card again in the device overnight and it was recognisable again, then I left the card in the device and put the data back through the syncronisation.
I haven't taken out the card since then because I know there is some recognising problem between the device & the card, its working since then.
My Advice is : To check another card and if that would work then try to sell your current card and buy another.
My advice 02: Try to backup your device, leave the card inside the device and HARD Reset the device & once the device will install newly it should configure the card as well.
I have got very usefull software "storagetools" (trial) by which you can scan, format & defrag the card, you can try it.
GoodLuck

Use chkdsk on the PC to check your storage card (instead of any PPC-based software, including Storage Tools). I also recommend the thread at http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39583 on all these q's.
On a related issue concerning problems with microSD cards and the TyTn, I have a problem which I hope you can help me with:
I have a new TyTn (ROM Ver. 1.18.255.3) with a 512mb miniSD card. In the course of my usual usage, the device hanged and after a few minutes of unresponsiveness, I reset the device using the reset button. When it rebooted, the card is no longer recognized by the phone. I used a card reader and WinXP and Mac OSX cannot also recognize it. If I try to format it (XP), XP says that the card cannot be formatted. I tried using it in my Samsung D820 and it cannot also be formatted. I then concluded that the card was defective and bought a new one (512mb).
After using the new card for a week, my TyTn hanged while accessing a program installed in the card. Again after a few minutes of unresponsiveness, I rebooted the phone using the reboot button. When the device booted-- Bam!!! the card can no longer be recognized by my phone! Windows and Mac OSX cannot mount it. I tried the unrecognized card in my Samsung D820 and it is recognized! I inserted the miniSD card (128mb) originally in my D820 in my TyTn and it is recognized/read by the TyTn. I formatted the defective card in the D820 and copied a few files in it and the D820 can read those files but my TyTn can't! I tried the other 128mb card on my TyTn, formatted it and copied files into it and everything's fine.
How come then that the 512mb card can be read by my Samsung phone and not by the TyTn? My TyTn is certainly not defective because It can access the 128mb card that was originally in my D820. As I stated earlier, I have already formatted the 512mb card in my Samsung phone and have transferred files into it (The Samsung phone can read the files written on it).
I have re-inserted the 512mb card numerous times in my TyTn to no avail. I have also rebooted my TyTn several times and still it cannot recognize/read the 512mb card. I am now using the 128mb card that I originally use in my Samsung D820.
If it can help, I have enabled and unlocked my TyTn's extended ROM. I have a few programs that are installed in my Ext ROM.
Thanks!
Similar card problem
I recently purchased the T Mobile MDA Vario2 with the CoPilot 6 software. worked fine for about a week and then the CoPilot software which was running from the memory card started to hang intermittently. The first couple of times a soft reset cured it. Then after about the third soft reset, the memory card was no longer recognised. Tried reading the card via my pc and that couldn't recognise it either.
Took both the phone and card back to T Mobile where a new card was tried, this was recognised immediately so I now have to take the whole CoPilot package back to be replaced.
I have also just orderd a new 1GB sandisk card from Amazon and am now concerned that this is going to be a repeating issue. I wonder how many other owners have had this problem and if it is actually a fault with the Vario2 or wether I have just been unlucky with a dodgy memory card.
Would appreciate other thoughts on this.
Cheers
Matt
I think that enabling the "Advance network functionality" causes the corruption of memory cards.

Because when I enabled it, the corruption started.

Hello
I've been having problems getting my galaxy S2 to detect my external SD Card.
It is a sandisk 8GB class 2 SDHC card that was working fine with my old phone. However, it does not seem to like my my s2 very much. I've tried reformatting it multiple times, FAT32, NTFS, but still no luck.
It is not a phone problem as I have tried a Kingston 1GB card and it worked fine.
Thanks for all your help!
still no luck after another 2 hours
Maybe because you have put a password on it.. I have put a password on my old sd card and it didn't get detected by my galaxy sl.. But after i removed it using the phone where i put the password with, it got detected by the phone..

You can try using a card reader in you pc and format it using command prompt.
If it gets detected on your pc , it will sure work on your s2

MicroSD "Blank" - Galaxy Note 3
I am having the same issue, phone refuses to see my SD card. Has anyone figured out a work around for this, or is it most likely a hardware issue? Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900V), non rooted.
Have tried multiple microSD's (SanDisk 32GB HC C4, Sandisk 32GB HC U1) that both read correctly on PC. Have tried reformatting with through Windows --> my computer --> format and with SDA SD formatter software (full format, not quick). Phone still will not recognize it.
Also tried connecting phone via USB with SD card inserted, it doesn't show up anywhere in the directory to try formatting it there (image attached). I do get the option to format what I am assuming is the entire phone, this seems like a poor decision.
I have dug around the forum, the majority of the fix's point towards reformatting via PC, does not seem to solve the issue for me. Any advice very much appreciated!! Really hoping it isn't going to require a new phone.
Thanks!
You could do a factory reset and see if that helps. If not, you might have a bad SD card slot.

Bad SD card slot
Yep it was a bad SD card slot. Had Amazon send a replacement, read the card right away.
The problem was the phone it was a brand new phone I went to Verizon in they replace it with a new at the store
