Compromised SD Slot - Qtek 2020 - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi All, i'm newbie here!
I've a question that seems no one exerienced before.
I put my 128 MB MMC in the SD/MMC Slot on top of my Qtek2020.
After some months i'd like to change the MMC with 1 GB one.
But ... incredible the MMC that's already in PDA won't coming out !!!
Seems to be glued with a crazy type of "gel" or something like glue !!!
What can I do? I must open the PDA and clean te SLOT?
What happened?

Corrupt SD card

There is problem of corrupt SD card with Artemis.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
I have same problem with P4350 (Herald) micro SD Card SanDisk 2 Gb.
I bye it 2 weeks ago and yesterday all files at SD card missing. I recovered some files by R-Studio software.
No TomTom software, but installed Resco Explorer.
i have the exact same problem with my sandisk 2gb card on the p4350 (the same card i use in my hermes where it works perfectly for about 4-5 months). it always happens when i save data to the card with a softreset following (f.e. backup). the card isn't recognized anymore or has folders with strange characters on the sdcard). then i remove the card, do a SR and put the card back in afterwards. after that everything is fine again.
very strange.
I plan to send letter to HTC suppurt.
lucky for me i spotted this then, i was about to order a 2gb card but i'll think i'll go with the 1gb instead.
incidently is anybody working with a 2gb card with no problems?
it's not a problem of the sd card but of the p4350. the card works perfectly in the hermes for months.
so why would a 1GB sd card work perfectly and a 2gb not when the sd card itself is definetly not the problem?

Hi,

Hi,

What's wrong with this phone ?
These are my numbers:
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001

OS 1.8.0.0
I got a reply from HTC Support:
Hello Milen,
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
We have seen this problem before on the HTC P3300. Currently we have escalated this issue to our R&D team in Taiwan, and they are investigating.
We are unsure as to the time frame for resolution of this issue, as our team still need to recreate the problem, establish cause, and create fix.
Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Your local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/cs_by_phone.html
Yours sincerely

First the card, now the phone...
Like many others I have experienced an occasional problem with corruption on a 2Gb MicroSD in my XDA Orbit. First time I fixed it with a soft-reset.
I have had the issue again yesterday and re-formatted my card to start again. The problem started yesterday when I noticed that the names of Storage Card folders were corrupted (lots of null characters). When I connected to PC and browsed I saw 2 folders named 'Storage Card' visible. Although the card now looked almost completely empty to Windows, the PPC Memory/StorageCard applet still reported 700+ MB storage in use.
After reformatting and loading up my TomTom data from XP. I put the card back into the phone, but it appeared that the phone was still remembering yesterday's view of the card, mixed up with todays! The bit from yesterday was the storage card folders used by poutlook for attachments.
I decided I must hard reset, and then it should be OK right? Since the reset I have been unable to complete the boot sequence on the phone - it just hangs after showing the version numbers on the startup screen for O2.
Seems like a warranty job, but since I bought it on ebay from a guy who sells lots of them, that may not be easy!
Any ideas how to kick it into life? I've tried both with/without SIM/SD/power cord/etc.
seems to be the same problem as on the Artemis ((((((
Ok, Trinity (HTC P3600) got it too ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291988 )
Seems to be an OS bug, HTC promised an update !!!

Dear HTC support,
Do you officially plan to publish a firmware update for Herald, Trinity
and Artemis because of their bug to corrupt the flash memory card
after normally read-write access? Or I and many other people like me
have to return their phones to you? A time period will be a good answer!
Here is my device information:
HTC P4350 - Herald
ROM version: 1.8.405.1 WWE
ROM date: 11/03/06
Radio version: 02.71.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.31
ExtROM version: 1.8.405.101
All best,
Milen

Dear Milen,
At the moment we do not have an exact date for when updates
will be released. We are expecting this to be in Q1 2007.
Also as yet we cannot confirm the location for any downloads.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.
Thank you for your enquiry... blah blah
That damn thing screwed up my data too!
I wrote to HTC support. Wondering, are they gonna answer or what?
"Corrupt data on MicroSD card" Dear support, Yesterday I'd discovered another wonderful feature of P4350. All the data on my MicroSD card was destroyed! No folders or files, just a junk file named "squareСЭSquareEx" 0 bytes in size. After running scandisk using SD Card reader I've had all my files unreadable in FOUND.000 folder. Information on device: ROM: 1.8.411.3 RUS Rom Date: 11/03/06 GSM: 02.71.90 ExtRom: 1.8.411.103 MicroSD Card info: Kingston 1Gb SDC/1GB 0645G88588U SD-C01G Japan The device was being used just as usual and worked fine during the whole week. The only difference was that I've been using WiFi extensively and it was the first time when the battery power was lower than 35%. What are you going to do about it and who is gonna pay me for such an incredible inconvenience?

Hello people! I might just have the solution to HTC memory card problem, but im not shure about it, i dont own Artemis or Herald so i cant check it out.
Today morning i had a great idea:
I own a Qtek s110, for today plugins i use SPB Pocket Plus 3 and it has 1 thing that differs form using it on any other device - the memory card status! It is hidden on Qtek. When you try to enable it it tells you that it may be the cause of data loss and instability of system. As you should know Qtek is built by HTC.
My idea is try to disable any memory card status idicator and see if that cures the problem, because i think this trouble has been on long before HTC brand started building their own devices! Good luck!
After i installed the program tweaks2k2.net on my P4350 i experienced the same problem with my a-data 1Gb microsd. In my case removing this program also removed the problem with the corrupt storagecard.
Another annoying problem is that my ringtone is constantly changed to windows default when i hit the ok-button....
SD card "renewal"
Like many of you I have sometimes (but relatively frequently) corrupted my SD. I have found out that the corruption is very often in the cache only. If i put SD card out and put it in back again the card content is correct and without corruption.

i've heard that you should format your SD-card to FAT-16... it was written somewhere on tweakers.net. Maybe this is an option..? I own a 2gb micro sd and i never experienced any problems.. let me know if this is usefull or even possible
I've heard that you should format your SD-card as FAT-16.. This whas said somewhere on tweakers.net. I'll search for this topic. I use A 2GB micro SD card with my p4350, i did not encounter any probs.. Let me know if this was helpfull
Possible solution?
I had a similar problem. My SD card wasn't recognized anymore after a while, sometimes after a backup. Now I fixed it. I discovered that I shouldn't move the programlinks in the "start menu" manually. Some programs, which I still don't know which one exactly, should stay in the root. These are the programs installed by default. When I putted the program back to the root of "start menu" folder, the storage card was recognized again.

Problem with MMC card

Hi.
I have problem with my universal and mmc cards ( i didn't try SD card yet).
When i set up camera to store photos on Storage Card. after taking photo application show something like "Storing image..." and I must wait and wait but app store this photo on card only when i remove it from slot and insert it again...
Please help
Hi,
i had the some Problem after upgrading my MDA Pro to AKU 3.3 of T-Mobile.
In my case after some time browsing my MMC or SD-Card was boring slow.
After removing it and pluging it in again I was able to use ist a few minutes.
In my Case only a Downgrade to AKU 2 solved the Problem.
But now my Wifi Connection does not work.
indeed, it can by cause of this problem. i also have TMobile firmware with AKU3.3
but maybe, if in other 'brandings' than TMobile this problem isn't exist then
maybe fault is on customization files on extended rom??
------
than folowing this posibility I unhided extended rom
renamed autorun.exe , RESET... and i will test it...
results soon
Hi,
after installing the normal T-Mobile ROM with all the Brandings i installed it and made the Soft-Reset before the brandings had been installed.
But unfortunately the problem was the same. So I dont think that it is a problem because of the Brandings.
Yes, You have right. It isn't because brandings...
wishmaster270: are You use MMC or SD card? and what type/model/manufacturer?
Hi,
i am using two Cards. One MMC with 1GB from mogu and one MMCplus Turbo Card with 2GB from AData.
similar problem as well
Just upgraded to latest Tmo ROM and have a similar problem my MMC card takes about 5-6 seconds to read when viewing it in file explorer and sometimes I can't even view it in Windows Media when trying to play music. But if eject and reinsert it will show all files.
In my case it takes between 20 and 60 seconds.
But anyway it seems to be a Problem with the T-Mobile ROM.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to write a few mails to T-Mobile Support.
So, i writing email to T-Mobile support...
and waiting...
anyway what is the best downgrade ROM with working SD/MMC??
don't want to downgrade
If the SDHC patch works on WM5, would rather use it and have more storage then downgrade
Hi,
I tried the SHDC and the Advanced Storage Card Handlig.
Unfortunately both did not work.
Downgrade to AKU2 worked fine for me. But its slower and I am not able to connect to my access point.
Well... T-mobile answered for my email...
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile

it looks like that the memory card is not responding properly.
Please try the following to ensure that miniSD memory card is detected
by the T-Mobile MDA:
1. Tap the power button to turn off the screen.
2. Remove the miniSD card.
3. Verify that the card is labeled 'miniSD'.
4. Carefully re-insert the miniSD all the way back into the MDA.
5. Verify that the screen wakes up when you insert the miniSD memory
card.
o NOTE: If it does not wake up, the miniSD card may be defective.
If the memory card is not responding, you need to either format the
memory card or try different memory card in your phone. If the problem
persists, please write or call us back with your observations and we
will be happy to help you further. [...]

Is possible to update this hardware with ROM of other (for example O2) branding????
i have one of them: universal_rom(o2_2.5wwe_aku3.2_b12).rar
Ok. Problem is solved.
I'm using Helmi_UNI_AKU3.5_v1.3.1 ROM from 2 days and is working very good
Hi,
yesterday i tried the aku 3.3 again because i had a sd card to test width.
It only seems to be Problem with MMC cards. Perhaps i would buy me a 2GB SD Card for about 15€.

Big problem with storage on Trinity.....help !!!

i'm using Mary 3.3.5 SL with almost nothing software as espect !!! (just wow)
But recently, i found out, my software which i install on miniSD card has lost suddently...with no reason.
I 've tried to format or ever hard reset...(with same Mary3.3.5SL)
but it still remain problem. Normally, the evening yesterday,i plug to charge as usual,and then today morning...I found nothing on my card mini SD, ...instead of some file such as mail...iecache...cache....or something really @sshole....
I wonder it cause of some bug or else ??? Anyone catch the bug like me ???
It's not one time....it happen 3 time recently after i install and reinstall again again...i fell really bad about what happen.
p/s : not only my program, but also my picture which i shoot from camera, and video i store on miniSD...???
It's problem of miniSD or bug of Mary3.3.5???
Please answer me quickly...i luv Mary3.x.x SL....cause it nearly empty but empty by this way is very bad.......
hi
if you look around ?the problem is not from Mary 3.3.5 SL ?? its from the minisd card....many of them is not stable especially those which is not original
if you have card reader try to fromat it by fat32 ? or change the card to another kind like kingstone or toshiba ?i think those good ones
no this is not just a card problem itself, it's a htc problem. search "sd card corruption". it's widely reported.
uhm, i ask some of my friends, and there is a problem too with kingston SD card too... but with another OS ,i mean another wm5.....i bought my trinity and miniSD card at Fnac (cause i'm had lived in france for a long time).
Then now...i think this card is origine or original as you say...
Any experience ???
oh,dear, thank you for give me advice "sd card corruption" but
It seem not in this case,cause if "sd card corruption" happen, it's always show the message " SD card corrupted" and also can't open card, except re-format it.
In my case, i got 2 or 3 folder after "corrupt". I mean yesterday evening, i install 4 or 5 game, play as usual...i plug charge into my Trinity.
Ok,then,i sleep......until morning, i check i got nothing on miniSD card.
except 3 folder "cookies" + "History" + "Mail" .
If you got corrupt card, you can't see such 3 folder...
Remember that : yesterday,everything just fine, until this morning...
It happen 3 or 4 times...Someone know it's become from what ???
my card got status on properties "RAW" instead of FAT or FAT32...
wth ???
just try to change your card ?? and see if this problem is still exist ....i have same problem before.....
try doing this:
once u find that your storage card data disappears, use the file explorer from Trinity.
open and see... you'll find that u have 'storage card' AND 'storage card2'
delete 'storage card' which contains a folder called mail
after deleting 'storage card', soft reset... you should get back everything.
i've faced the problem twice.

really odd MicroSD problem

well been using the standerd 2gb sd card with my phone fine but upgraded toa 16gb card over the last 2 days...
soo i took the files of my old card using active sync
put the new card in the phone.. formatted it then transfered the new files.. gets to about 250mb then says... write protected please make sure the file is not in use bla bla.. sometimes it gets to 2gb but it always does it on a diffrent file and none of them are protected and the card shouldent be as its formatted and 16gb
can anybody help or does anybody think its a duff card?
any help would be much greatful!
Thank you
Sam Morgan
forgot to say the sd card quick fix is installed aswell
Don't use Activesync to copy the files - use Disk Mode.
tried using disk mode but still get the dodgey things of writing a certain amout.. not being able to delete some files.. even after i just put them on there... any way ive orderd a new class 6 16gb card from a data and hopefully should do the trick as i think this chinese crap is duff
your case sounds awfully familiar to those of the people who bought the "16gb usb pendrive" from chinese resellers, which were actually 1gb pendrives with modified onboard chips to make it appear as 16gb devices. The first GB you copied was fine, but whenever you tried to access data over that limit wyou would obviously get errors. In this case, if you bought a cheapo card from an "unkown" seller, he probably gave you a 256MB hacked microsd.
also worth making sure the card is formatted to fat 32,4096 block size for best results.
thanks for the replies guys...
samsamuel: i used the formatting tool on the phone
oh just tried formatting again it saud card is broken or damaged then tried againa and let me format it... must be broken then

Partition Problem - Android and WP7

Hi,
I'm using wp7 now for more than 2 months and i am quite happy. i can do everything i want to. but now i wanted to install android, so that i can dual boot both of them.
as i have only one 16gb sd card i followed the steps mentioned in the 3rd method, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815 .
But Partition Wizard Home Edition only shows one partition of 200 mb. now i cant really delete the bigger one and create a new one.
maybe you can tell me what i am doing wrong and find a solution. furthermore i am not sure about the right android version i have to use, because i don't know the meaning of nand, sd , magldr...can i use this one
