XDA 2i PROBLEMS!!! SO MANY PROBLEMS!! - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Firstly, my Pocket PC is EATING SD Memory cards with no problem at all. Whilst copying files across the PDA crashes as the SD card is rendered useless. I have tried 3 all three have eventually been destroyed. Unreadable on a PC, at the shop etc etc...
Secondly it reboots itself every 10 mins approx... VERY FRUSTRATING! I must say that I am very excited about owning the PDA but so far, nothing but problems!!!
Anyone know about any of these??

Sounds like a software conflict or hardware problem.
Indicate hardware used (including ROM versions) and software installed pls.

Hi,
ROM Version: 1.10.00 WWE
ROM Date: 12/24/04
Radio Version: 1.00.00
Protocol Version: 1337.39
ExtROM Version 1.10.124 WWE
I am going to update to the iMate ROM i have seen in other threads... you think that will help?

Sounds like you have a serious problem on your hands, wish I could sympathise & say I have suffered the same....but I haven't. My XDA 2i did have some minor problems (freezing up, crashing etc) nothing too drastic that a soft reset couldn't sort out. But in the end I got fed up with that method & got a replacement from O2 within a week, and so far no problems........I suggest you do the same :lol:

could it be TomTom that was causing this? I did have tomtom installed... i just put the original ROM back on it from O2 website and it hasn't crashed yet...

OK -
Since my last post I have installed the i-Mate Update on my 02 XDA 2i and it has been ok.
No more memory cards have been destroyed and the rebooting has stopped completely.
I am running it with a 512MB SD card now... this SD Card only contains my SAT NAV maps. However I ran a backup a few minutes ago and got bored half way through so I cancelled it. Now all of a sudden my SAT NAV Maps are gone completely and my SD card is empty. THis has happened twice now (randomly deletes folders on my SD card).
As far as i know I have all the updates available. Would an MMC card be better? whats the real differenc? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Is the imate rom suitable for Asia rom ? Coz i'm from Malaysia and doubt whether it can be use on local Maxis operator or not !

right - here is an update. My last update was installing the i-mate ROM and putting in a new 512 PNY SD Card.
this worked fine for about 4 days, when suddenly lo and behold tomtom couldn't find any maps and sure enough my SD card was undetectable. I have decided that there is nothing inherintly wrong with my PDA, I have decided that cheapmemory is bad.
I have read good reports about ScanDisk memory for the XDA series. I have ordered 1GB Scandisk memory (checking the returns policy !!!! just in case).
I am going to see if this card works, if it goes wrong then i am accepting that the problem lies in my XDA, but otherwise I am blaming it on cheap memory namely PNY.

CHEAP MEMORY!
so far - I have had my ScanDisk 1GB memory in for about 3 days. Not only is it much quicker than the other memory but also it has not died yet. Looking good for scandisk!

HELP SD Card error

I can't read my SD card anymore...I also can't format it... i try format it with my digital camera but still not working.... what else i can do...??? :x :?: :?: :?: :?:
tried storage tools or pocket mechanic ?
tried more then 1 sd card reader ?
if nothing helps RMA the sd card if it's still under warrenty
I have had the same problem ever since I bought a 1GB Viking Card... I´ve posted about this before on the Wallaby pages. My 512 Mb Card is completely stable, but the "one gigger" refuses all the time, I'm on the 3rd now... My only comfort is that I have the same supplier on XDAII and SD Cards :?
The problem is that it seems to be no possible way to rescue the card, I've tried a number of softwares and a couple of different readers, it just doesn´t work, I don´t know if the FAT gets hacked in pieces or what it might be i´m getting quite bored of it now. At first I thought I did wrong when inserting a card on which I copied files before initializing it in the device, but that only had impact on the time that went before crashing: Bad initialization - crash within 1-3 days, Good initialization - crash after after 6 weeks.
One more sad thing about this is that it seems that upgrading to WM5 doesn´t solve it...
I tried to install a minor regkey fix that was told to solve the problem (in the Wallaby forum), but the only thing I got from that was sudden frequent needs of hard resetting... :evil:
I don´t really know what to do, but the question is important to try to solve I think. Let´s see what comes out here in a while shall we ???

i have try it but unfortunately still not detected...
Has anyone made any progress on this?
So far, my XDA has destroyed a 1GB Toshiba card, and a 512MB Toshiba card.
My 256MB Kingston card is fine...
The 1GB, Amazon replaced for free.
When I say dead, I MEAN dead!
Linux reports "block read error" when trying to access either of them - it's like the FAT descriptor block is being worn out!
Nothing (PDA / Linux / Windoze) can format these things.
A RAW read on the card returns nothing (block read error under linux, hang under Windoze!)
I think my next step is a pointless e-mail to O2 asking what they are going to do - their phone has destroyed two of my cards!
:evil:
SD Card Problem
I currently work for Islington Council in London, and i am heading up a project where all the Directors/managers are recieving an XDA IIi.
I am currently speaking to someone at O2 who handles the corperate side of their orders. Im sure i will have more sway with them to sort this problem, as we are experiencing a lot of SD card problems and i have multiple orders to be completed. Ive done 60 so far with the intention of doing around 400 within the next year.
Anyone who has been having this VERY annoying problem and going through SD cards like theres no tomorrow please post here as i will be sending him this link so that he can see how common the problem really is.
Cheers for your help guys, im sure we can sort something out ! even if it is only a reason for why its happening !

Storage Card Freezes Device On Resume?

hey guys, just wondering if this is a known bug on universals or just several roms or if i have a dodgy universal or sd card in general:
It seems when i bring the device out of standby mode after a long period of inactivity, i enter my password and the device just freezes, locks up - Dead.
When I take the storage card out and repeat, the device is fine which lead me to believe the card was duffly formatted, so i stuck it in my card reader and formatted it into FAT32 and then put all my data back on... same problem!
So i then flashed my device from the QTEK rom to the o2 rom in corp mode to see if i still had the issue... was fine for a short while then earlier today i turned it back out of standby and same problem!
So i've narrowed it not to be the storage cards fault, since the card works fine in my xda 2s, and card reader and it seems to either be a subsequent issue in the o2 and qtek roms, or maybe ive got a duff universal with dodgy card slot?
Is this lockup issue a known bug?
Sometimes when i get lucky the device doesnt lock up but instead the card disappears from the system view, and only removing the battery and then rebooting solves it.
If anyone can shed any light i'd appreciate it!
had similar problem
On my compact and PRO (univsersal) I had 1 1gb SD card that always gave a message improperly removed when the device came out of standby.
Used the card that came with my PRO , a 512mb SANDISK no problem.
Put the 1gb in my panasonic camera its fine. the 16MB that came with my camera but branded panasonic works fine in my PRO, left the 512 in my compact for as MP3 with bluetooth headphones.
I think the compact had less problems after a recent T-mobile ROM update.
I think the Compact and PRO are both fussy what cards they use. My 1gb SD card is a generiic 66x. Also I think that there are some bugs to be ironed out with power management.
BTW should it be flashed in FAT or FAT32, some devices can only read FAT I believe.
If you use standby/suspend and you have media files (music/books/etc) on the SD card and the app in main memory you'll have problems when you re-start. I get this problem with MS Reader and eBooks all the time. Looks like another bug in WM5 to me.

Funny, I have all of my apps on the Main Memory, and my .prc's, .avi's, and .ogg's on the storage card, and I've never had this problem?
(I'm using a 1 Gig Jessops card that originally came with my camera, no idea what it "really" is though)
@sun69,
the problem only occurs if you use powersave/suspend and you leave a media file open, eg when reading an ebook.
this also happens when you have a 2577 folder on the sd card and do not have a start.exe in it. It will let the device hang.
Ive found the problem to be with the SD card itself, if i use the 128mb Sandisk from my Xda II s it's fine,but within ten minutes of sticking the 512 Lexitar card in, the whole device is ten feet under...
Looks like ill need another
MurphmanL
I reformatted my 2GB SD card and one problem I had with WM5 reporting a shortage or RAM went away. Not really sure why the Exec seems to be so sensitive about SD cards.
Actually this reminds me... I used a 1GB KINGMAX SD card in my XDA II Mini and it hangs randomly... Now I'm using a 1GB Sandisk SD Plus USB in my XDA Exec and it hangs randomly too...
I am reverting back to me Panasonic 128mb SD card to see if that helps... Although it's weird that on my Xda Exec it only SOMETIMES hangs when I receive an SMS... don't know whether this is two issues or one.
I have a 4GB Transcend SD Card. I can install and run any application on it but, the camera application can't seem to read or store any pictures on it. It states: "not enough memory"
I tried reformatting it using Pocket Mechanic on my Exec and still the same result. I tried reformatting it on my computer but it can't read the 4GB SD card from Transcend.
funny I have a 1Gb Sandisk card and even if I have no media files open sometimes it just hangs on resume. The only way to get around this problem is to leave the XDA switched on all the time and swithc only the backlight.
However, this way the battery life is shorter. I think this problem should be addressed to someone who is technical (not like me) maybe we get a plausable explanation of what shall we do.
It is very annoying since when the system hangs up the mobile does not have any coverage and in sales it means loosing potential customers!!!!
XDA EXEC
Same problem Here.
I had a 1 Gig card and I often had to take it out to solve the problem.
Now I have a 2 Gig card (Sandisk Ultra II) and the problem is solved.
I'm not that technical, but wasn't there an issue with dual voltage sd card's?
I too have a memory card problem. I have loaded some pictures and videos on the card but as soon as I try to open them in File Explorer the XD Exec freezes and will only work again if I remove the memory card or reset the Exec. Then it freezes again when I try and read the memory card again. I've tried loading stuff on using Active Sync and using a memory card reader and still the same. I've even formatted the card again. It is a cheap SD memory card will I need a new memory card or is it a software problem?
@jah, my wife has this same problem on her Wizard (vario), she got a 128Mb miniSD with her Vario. If she leaves the card in and allows the device to suspend then wakes it up she gets a white blank screen and has to soft reset to recover. With the card removed the problem goes away. She had her vario replaced because of this fault (tech support thought it was the vario at fault). It was only when the problem occured with the new vario that I had a play and found with the card removed the fault went away. We haven't taken the card back yet, but I am 99% sure it is a card fault.
I might try her card with the adaptor in my Exec and see if I get the same problems as you are getting?
Regards, Simon
It seems like Dopod900/Univeral is sharing the same problem, too sensitive toward particular SD brand/model. My Dopod900 also having a huge problem recognizing the Kingston 2G SD 133x but works fine with Transcent 2G SD 150x.

TomTom 5.21 freezes

Hi,
I've updated my k-jam's rom to the latest available from i-mate which is this one:
Rom version: 2.16.9.1
Radio version: 02.07.10
ExtROM version: 2.16.9.101
On the last rom version I had, which was the original one from the time I bought the phone, I managed to install TomTom 5.21 by Bakonl and work with several maps.
Now that I upgraded the rom I tried to install the program again but this time to the mini-SD card and it freezes on the "choose map" screen. Sometimes it's only the program freezing, others it's WM5 that freezes making me soft-reset.
I have now tried to install TomTom to the phone disk but still get these problems. Is it just me geting this?
Has anyone else been having the same problems?
any workarounds this problem?
Cheers,
pL
i had the same problem when i didnt have a CurrentMap.dat file installed on my pda. I copied one from one of my backups and put it in the /MyDocuments/TomTom folder, its worked since.
Hi Dean,
I don't even have that folder. I'll try and create it with that dat file and see how it goes...
I'll post again with the results later.
Thanks,
pL
F**** it works.
I had been jamming my head around for this.
Real thanks mate.
To those interested what I did was based on dean's enligthments and another post on this forum on "tomtom v5 maps".
I created the folder TomTom on My Documents.
Then used TotalComander (you can do it on your desktop if you want to) to create a file called CurrentMap.dat that I placed on the previously created folder. That *.dat file only contained a line of code:
& \Storage Card\Iberia Plus-Map\
This did it...
Cheers,
pL
freezing and resets galore after new O2 ROM
I installed the new O2 ROM last week and all appeared OK, but now TomTom (5.21) is freezing up (everywhere) and it won't start up \again after being used without a soft reset, whereupon it can't see the storage card and that needs to be taken out and the contacts rubbed (static?).
I have a CurrentMap.dat file in My Device/My Documents/TomTom already so I don't think it's that.
My poor xda is blushing at the abuse it's getting.
On the plus side, Activesync isn't totally [email protected] any more.
DBo.
well, I have no clue whatsoever on that...
Nevertheless, have you tried re-installing it?
Or was your rom update complete and you already had to install it?
Do check the dat file it might be that it's tricking you...
By the way are you using bakonl's version of tomtom?
Take care,
pL
Ooer missus!
I checked the CM.dat file and sure enough it had a '!' athe beginning (comment?). I removed that and viola - TomTom started up with the agreement screen (like when it can't find the maps) and then let me choose from the two maps I have and then froze (like a biatch).
One soft reset later and...it has started fine...twice.
I'll post results after further trials.
Cheers, DBo.
Another reason why TT freezes ist too much POI categories or too much POI checked to be visible.
Was More TT Woe - now Mini SD Woe
I don't know whether it's overheating (I had to use my car mount in another car) or the mini SD card expiring or what, but I was having major trauma yesterday (on most of a 600 mile round trip!!).
It is getting to being unusable.
Bah! :x
Mini SD woes
STOP PRESS!
It is the Mini SD card. It finally gave up the ghost and is being laid to rest in a small ceremony (slotting it in a jiffy bag back to Moby). The backup 1Gb card is working fine...so far.
Nice one. Glad it worked out for you.
TomTom seems to be the best around, at least from what I tried out so far.
I'm trying to get a trial on viamichelin to make a final decision.
Cheers,
pL

I get the same problem to
uninstalled reinstalled ... and so on and so on.
it seems to be strangly intermittent.
When it decides its going to work within the first few minutes it will work all day , when it doesn't then it crashes before loading the map.
Its really quite annoying especially when your trying to show of the skills of the TT5 on the wizard.
Are you sure its not the fact that you reinstalled it?
My moby mem card has given me grief before then started working again .
will hold off till these 2 GB ones maybe get a san disk one this time .

miniSD card problems??

my miniSD card keeps crashing.. every time i reformat it.. (just bought it brand new 2 weeks ago.) but it keeps crashing after a little while..
so my girlfriends dad put tomtom 6 on mij sd card last night..
i look in the morning.. and 90% of my mp3 songs wont work anymore.. and my entire map with tomtom in it was gone?????? like wtf??
i got a wizard G3 with the underground edition.. and a 1 GB miniSD card..
reformated it on the computer and with more then 1 program on the phone..
(on the pc was my last time.. (like 2 hours ago...) did not crash so far..)
any1 has a solution for me??
thnx and greetz
where did you buy the card? what brand is it? how did you format it before it crash? is the card size displayed on the PC correct?
i bought it @ norrod in groningen/holland.. brand ... dunno... i used the phone to format it right after i bought it... and yes.. its being displayed normally.. unless it crashes.. cause even on the computer it wont copy things off.
even though.. it crashed again.. all the data was gone.. but at memory it still sees 50 mb used.. :\
god damn it.. i'm going to throw that *#&(#&%(&^)@)(!(@%$& phone out the window :S
I presume Norrod is a name of a shop. Anyway, it seems to be reputable. Unless you can confirm the brand, chances are it may be a faulty one (luck is not on your side). However, the good news is that, it may be a 1 off thing that it may not happen again. There are chances of SD card being wacky if you have your phone hanged and soft reset, which happened to be once when I was messing with my phone. But it never occurred again.
As for formatting on the phone, there are members reporting problems with card formatted on the phone. Since you have formatted on the PC, it ought to solve that problem. Hopefully it won't happen again.
well i had a 512 mb kingston before.. and it crashed 2.. so i threw it away.. cause it had bad sectors.. ( i had that 1 for about 1 year...)
and now this 1 crashes.. i thought mayby it had something to do with the underground edition and the omapclock.. from 180 to 228 or 240..
but it doesn't seem to be.. cause i've been running the last 2 days on normal 180...
I have a 2Gb unbranded memory card and have the same problem, I've managed to find that the memory gets corrupt when the card gets cold (3-4 Deg c), it's fine at room temp.
Got to replace it at some point.
Kingston cards usually have a lifetime guarantee... if you are able to find the package and the card, you may able to get yourself a new card.
hi
Try benchmark tools to evaluate the memory card..
before buying the memory cards..
SD carda
What is it about SD cards and Wizards. If mine takes a slight knock it cant see the card anymore - I have to re-insert it.
I recently got a cheap 2GB card from Hong Kong. Was a load of rubbish. Top tip, dont make the same mistake. Basically had a load of bad sectors and crc write errored all the time.
I have my old 1GB card in at the mo, and apart from the knocking issue (almost certainly a fault with the wizard) it works fine.
Anyone come across the issue where the SD card cant be seen by the phone anymore?

Quick question, Just wondering whats the largest memory card you can put in a xda mini s.
Thanks

random freeze

My phone freezes at random times. I couldn't figure out a pattern.
I bought it a week ago and at after some time I click on the power button to wakeup - it doesn't respond and sometimes I just leave it as it is and find the backlight still on showing the screen from 10 minutes ago and not responsive.
The only thing I can do is to soft reset the device but just yesterday it happened like 40 times. While frozen the gsm service is also down and the incoming calls are replied with "can't be reached at the moment" 2 days ago I hard reset the device and it froze again just after the hard reset - for that reason I believe it's a hardware or a firmware issue - not a software one.
ROM:1.14.414.2 24011 WWE
ROM date: 12/10/08
Radio version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol version: 52.49a.25.26U
Anyone with the same issue?
//anything like an eventvwr to see the logs? maybe I can figure out a pattern.
- Did you install the HTC hotfix?
- How old is your sim card? If it's very old, you may want to ask your provider for a new one.
Thx for the questions - unfortunately:
- Installed the hot fixes
- I just got a new subscription, my sim is new
"h..p://www.htc.com/sea/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all"
Download and install the bottom fix.
edit: Sorry now I did see your reply.
Do a hard reset and after install again hotfix
Thanks for the advise, but it doesn't work either.
2 days ago I hard reset the device, applied the patch - still the same problem. Also in the link you wrote it says "screen stops responding for about 3 to 5 seconds when running" - My device just freezes at a point and stops responding. Most probably there is an IRQ trigger at the processor level that freezes all operations.
//doublepost
Same thing happened to me a few times.
Today I hat to soft reset 4 times!! with the button under the back cover because none of the buttons would do anything at all.
I also have the device for just over a week now.
I'll try and install the patch, but I don't think it will fix it because the description of the problem is totaly different.
I'll let you know..
grtz,
Pfeffa-rah
Pfeffa-rah, I suppose you bought it from Netherland - and I bought it from Belgium, most probably with the same shipment - there might be a production or shipment problem. Its good to know that I'm not alone =)
By the time can you write down ROM, ROM date, Radio version and Protocol version?
Looking forward to hear from you,
Kaya
Hi I just installed the hotfix and played around with it.
The hotfix did nothing at all!
It still froze on me.
Rom version: 1.14.404.3 (22237) NLD
RomDate: 12/09/08
Radioversion: 1.09.25.14
Protocolversion: 52.49a.25.26U
I might try backing up this rom and installing another one...
I've had good experiences wit dutty's roms on my TytnII..
But I need time for that. And time... well... there's never enough
I installed a lot of software in My HD. I was thinking of doing a hard reset and installing the programms one by one. However, since you have the same problem and it didn't work for you. I guess that's no use then..
Damn, I love my Blackstone, but this random freezing really spoils it!
grtz,
Pfeffa-rah
I will warn you on changing the rom 'cause we aren't using the same rom version but facing the same problem. This might mean - it is either a problem with the radio version/protocol or a hardware issue. If its a hardware issue, a cooked rom won't make much of a difference. And I wouldn't risk to blow its warranty if it is really a hardware problem that would need a replacement.
You long live my friend, nothing explains this situation better than this:
"Damn, I love my Blackstone, but this random freezing really spoils it!"
// the only software didn't get effected from hard reset is igo8 which was in my sd - do you by any chance have it too? maybe but just maybee it might be screwing around with the gps and cause trouble but its really a long shot
Same issue did appear in Greece, in 4 different devices. Two (2) of them bought from Expansys and two (2) from local market. One of them returned the device to the local resseler and they changed motherboard.
Now me, after installing official ROM and Cooked ones (Panosha 1.3, 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.5) and having always after a couple of days the same problem, now I am running Panosha Black Pearl 1.6 with no problems at all yet.
My devices info :
I also have to mention that probably the problem has nothing to do with specific software / program, since I've tried official ROM, with nothing else installed (completely clean device and NO SD card inside)
HTC Touch HD, S/N HT844..., bought from Expansys on 10/11/08, ROM now : Black Pearl 1.6 WWE Full (Original 1.14.405.3 build 22273 WWE, ROM date 24/10/08), Radio version: 1.09.25.14
evharisto poli ktsak =)
Now we can be almost sure that its not a rom or a software issue as the problem is spotted on different rom versions. Hopefully we have the same radio and protocol version which either of them might be the cause (I suppose ktsak didn't made a change on it). Or a hardware problem ofcourse.

Yes, protocol and radio version are the original ones, never changed.
Thats why i've tried 5 or six different ROMs, in order to exclude the possibility of software affect
My Blackstone was very easy to freeze. When I opened a lot of programms and then used the manager to close all of them at once, (I use the SPB pocket plus X-button menu for that....) it woud freeze 9 outof 19 times.
What I have tried:
1. remove SIM and SD-card.
I couldn't freeze it after that. I tried 15 times. I didn't freeze even once.
2. With simcard but no SD.
Couldn't freeze it.
3. Formatted SD-card and copied everything back to it.
(use micro-SD to USB adaptor for that)
It only froze once. After that until now, I couldn't make it freeze.
Since it still froze 1 time, I think it is not the solution.
Especially because of ktsak's post....

However, I will still experiment with it a bit.
I changed the class 4 one I got with the device with a class 8 one that I already had. That is the one I am using now.
What SD-cards are you using?
(There were also freezes without SD-cards installed?)
I will use it with the class 8 re-formatted SD-card for a while and see if it freezes. If it does, I will try the slow one.
I will report back here.
ktsac: let us know if the Black Pearl still works or if it doesn't. I am used to flashing my phones all the time, so I am not afraid of it.
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah
FYI
Is there a way to format the SD card from the device? I haven't tried that yet but I don't have a compatible card reader or an adapter either.
And I also tried to run a lot of programs and kill them all - it froze... It might mean a problem with process killing.

As mentioned in previous message, I've also tried with SIM card and NO SD and had the problem as well.
Also have to clarify that my miroSD card is a Class 2, SanDisk 8GB capacity, officialy supplied with the package. Never tried anything else.
Probably you also mean 8 GB and not Class 8, since, as far as I know, the fastest in the market is Class 6. Class 8 does not exist, you' ve made a mistake. Now, since last Monday, with Black Pearl 1.6 WWE installed, the device operates with no difficiencies, no freezing at all. Thats my news

I just tried it hoping our problems might not be the same. I must point out that it DID make a difference in my case. I only managed to freeze it once since yesterday. (And I really tried hard!). And even then it was a different freeze than the other ones. The buttons still vibrated my device and I could still switch the screen on and off. I crashed it by opening 16 tabs in opera and then close opera, so it could be just opera crashing.....
The verry first freeze could have been the result of already corrupted data in memory since I didn't soft-reset it after I switched SD-cards...
So I still have some hope that formatting did the trick... some....

Yes indeed I misread the tiny 6 for a 8 .... Re-examining it with a magnifying-glass, I could just see the difference
So it is an 8 GB class 6 micro SD card...

Well, that seems good news to me!
I'll use mine for a week or so, or untill it freezes on me again, and let you know.

Last night i did install Black Pearl 1.7. This morning tried to open the device from StandBy mode, same problem No response. Tommorow morning I'm sending the device to the Sevice (local Reseller here in Greece) . Tired to flash again and again, in order to find a ROM that the device acts normally
Besides that, IMO this is not a ROM issue, nor other software issue. It is a HARDWARE problem

I am sorry to hear that the ROM did not help.
My experiments failed also. Yesterday my Blackstone froze again.
I agree with you that it must be a hardware problem. (again after using close all...)
I think I will have to turn in my device too then, and go back to my Tytn II.
Damn, i didn't like my Tytn II from the start. (well.. from week three or so...) But at least I can trust it not to freeze on me...
Does anyone have any sugestions? anything we didn't try before?
Plz. help.
