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.?

I have also purchased a kingston 2gb card for my jasjar but after formatting it and installing softwares on it , workedfine but after two days my software on the card automatically got deleted by themselves and video mpeg files got corrupted , i went to the vendor and changed the card by sandisk and still with it also the problem is there i have again changed that with another sandisk and now i have even hard reseted my set and formatted the card by changing its file sys to fat32 from fat but after some days it shows its file sys as raw and start creating problem can anybody help
I don't think it's the SD Cards that has the problem. It must be your Universal creating the problem. You already tried 3 different cards and you got the same results.
I only bought one 2 GB Sandisk card and I have been using it on my Universal for almost a year now without problems.
i dont think so that theres a problem with my jasjar as for last 3 months i was using a 1 gb sd card of ncp and it was working fine with it now i have even restored my activesync 4.2 to 4.1 but still there seems to be a problem , but what it is i m not able to understand it coz i thats also right that 3 cards of two diffrent companies can also not be faulty but still they are causing the same problem of data loss .
plz help and thanks for ur quick reply.
mem cards
have you tried to use the mem cards without formating them. my 2g sd card i just used it straight from the packet. havent had any problems with it
no probs so far w/ my 4GB transcend 150x SD on my dopod 900. also used a 2GB ridata 120x SD b4 w/o any probs.
must b a new software u installed on ur jasjar w/c cause d card prob.
I bought transcend 150x 4gb month ago, put directly to my t-mob mda pro(universal) without formating and fortunately i'm not experiencing any probs so far. try to reflash UR rom, maybe it'll help
thanks for ur reply but i have tried my first card without format only and it showed me a problem then the vendor told me to format and use , second thing is as the file sys was earlier fat for the card i formatted it and changed to fat32 but i have noticed whenever the data corrupts it changes its file sys to raw automatically by itself . Any suggestions
Well, I've been using my SDHC for a while. Been getting lots of memory corruptions, so I just place it in my card reader and reformat the card.
My card got corrupt again, so I thought I would upgrade to the latest ROM update, and would format the card and start again.
So I upgraded the ROM on my trinity, performed a format on my card and then stuck the card into the trinity after my ROM had been updated. Strange ... it wants to format the card, I clicked yes... then a few seconds later it reported an error (i didnt make not of it). I try reading the card from the trinitiy ... then from my PC and now I cant read the card at all.
I have tried on another PC (Windows XP on both).
I have tried WM5torage, I have tried Panason Format, I have tried Pocket Mechanic. Does anyone have any ideas? Its almost like the pocket PC cant see the card at all, and whatever the format did do to the car when it stopped, totally killed it off. Anyone with any ideas?
It's toast
Same thing happened to me.

I had an issue like that with my SDHC card. I took it to the local electronics shop and formatted it in a new SDHC compatible digital camera. Now it works again . I don't thing that it is a good idea to format an SDHC card in your Trinity.
I'm going to buy Gene and read a lot of possitive oppinions abiut it. But there is a discussion on a russion forum www.4pda.ru about SD card problem. As I understood sometimes it looses SD card and everything on it. The files are shown in wrong symbols and even more - sometimes all data are lost. Does anybody had the problemm? know the solution? Thank you.
Get a reputable brand. I once had that problem with a 512MB in Imate JAM, but my Gene has a 1GB Apacer and Ive never had problems. Get a miniSD with an adapter for more versatility.
i have sumtin to tell
hey i bought my gene say three months back.put a 1 gb Transcend SD...but after some days when i took it out and again inserted it...the memory was lost and it was not formatting also....one fine day suddenly my treo recognized the card..but with only 480 MB.....i had to finally buy a new SD for my Gene...
They say SD card should be inserted after soft reset and will work fine. Also there e few guys tested MMC cards and said there wew no problems.
same here

hey i got the same problem to. talk to the HTC CustomerCare. they asked me to get my PPC reflashed. it might be due to some ROM error.
but if u try restarting (soft reset) ur PPC. it will work normally. i have used this technice. it works fine with me.
I recently came to a big problem. my storage card is not working correctly. my ppc takes a lot of time in accessing and reading it and sometimes gets hangs while doing it. i tried formating my device but the problem still exists. then i tried formating the memory card with my PC but again something strange happened. While formatting my pc gave an error msg "Windows Can't Format" or something like tht. i tried to manually delete the contents of my memory card but it says can not access device. I am sure tht my card is not Password lock. i think the problem occured after i used "WM5 Storage" software for my PPC to act as a "Mass Storage Device".
plz some1 tell me how can i fix my memory card.
plz plz plz plz plz help..........
yes, it is definitely a big problem with the SD card problem, i mean not the SD card problem, but the Gene's Problem! i bought it 2 months ago for my wife, comes with a brand new Transcend 1GB SD card, after i've installed all the programs into the SD card, its seems ok at first...BUT, when the Gene go to the standby mode, & u wake up the Gene, the program u have installed in the SD card all GONE!! the device can't find any thing in SD card & it finally hang! it is definitely not bcos i m using lousy brand SD card, i've tried Kingston, Pendrive, Sandisk & it has the same problem! i've called HTC service centre in Malaysia (i m from Malaysia) & they dun even knew about this (& even they gave me taiwan HTC email address, & told me to get an answer from taiwan).....
i have no choice, i have hard reset the device for more than 10 times, believe me, i started my pda phone live 5 years ago, i knew what is hard reset...& i tried more than 5 SD cards... same problem, some of the cards facing difference problem - the data saved in the card became unreadable & weird symbol.
since the service center does not has any solution for it, i have to use my own silly stupid way to prevent the Gene Hang, i have set the device all the time alive & avoid going to standby mode, & the problem solved...never hang again...but...imagine...the battery life ....(sigh).....
i sincerely hope that there is somebody in this forum could help to solve this BIG problem.....
At me too a problem with SD card... Very often on a card some files and folders are renamed in not clear symbols and data vanish.... A problem not only at me.... It at many, and it does not depend on a card memory from insertion Gene...
SD Card got Locked
I installed a software on my Gene, named "WM5 Storage".
it allows u to access ur memory card without activesync, as Mass Storage Device.
after the first use i found my card locked. it was unreadable. my ppc also started hanging. i tried restarting my ppc. now i was able to acces my storage card from file explorer, but it takes around 15-20 minutes and another 15minutes to access the files. when i connect it with my pc, active sync does not detect the SD card. i also tried to format the SD card through a card reader. the card reader reads its root files but couldn't access/open them. when i tried to format it give an error "device not accessible. device not ready.".
i also checked the lock button on the card, it was unlocked. plz some1 help.
plz plz plz..
mee too
GUYS I HAVE ONE CARD WITH ME THAT IS PERFECTLY OK...BUT DOES NOT GET READ IN MY GENE.....IN MY TREO 680 IT SHOWS ONLY HALF MEMORY....AND MY LAPTOP IS ALSO NOT RECOGNISING IT...WAT TO DO....???
I have the same sd card problem.......can anybody tell me the solution?is there same problem with mmc card? if no them i'll buy a new mmc card....plz help me.
Count me in
I had this problem for 5 times and still has it. Actually this happens(based on my experiences and opinion only) when u install some software on the SD card and it damages the file system.
Solution might be not to install apps on SD card or use a RS-DV-MMC which is used in recent Symbian phones.
Give it a try...
And plz post feedback.
Enjoy....
Hi,
I have some problems with my Uni.. Two days ago I remove SD card from SD slot as usual to copy some things on it and when I inserted SD card back it doesn't appear in system as usual.. From this time my 4 GB and 1 GB SD cards didn't work.. When I tried friends SDHC card and switch to the SDHC cards in menu it works.. I tried to disassamble it, but there is everything OK I think.. I tried to reflash my Uni and the same situation is on WM5 and Tomal 7.7 and 8.0.. If someone have some idea please share it in thread..
Regards V3S

Anyone have any idea for repair it, or any test?
tnx in advance.

do you mean that WM6.1 cannot read the 2GB SD Card, and only WM6 can read?
If yes, then I will use the WM6 ROM, which is the best ROM?
Thank you.

mmm....WM6 and WM6.1 can read the 2gb card...
have you try to format the SD from the PDA?
or you can try to format the SD from the pc (you must use FAT32, i think...)

hi
format a card on pc with fat16 (not fat32)
head similar problem after formatting card with fat32.
I have the same problem. I've tried many applications that mange storage cards and in the Memory Definitions - Memory Card . it just appears "Not Installed".
Is it hardware problem??What can i do to find if it's hardware problem?
Cumps Cyrex
I don't really think its a hardware problem I think your device does not support the type of SD card you have remember not every SD card will work you need to find one that works on your device check out your manural am sure that can help. Also the brand and size matter aswell

I've already tried different brand like an Toshiba 2.0 Gb, Kingston 1 Gb, and i bought a San Disc 2Gb 100x..
I down know what else can i do..
Cumps CyreX
Well sorry could be a Hardware problem then did you try a Different ROM? maybe al try it and report back my findings but dont wait lol it will take some time and SanDisk is what I use it's supported I use 512MB by the way al try my friends 2 GB and tell you ok but I guess our Prophets just dont support 2GB I guess
In a Portuguese forum, there's some guys who have Prophet and have 2gb storage cards.. So i guess it's really a hardware problem..Or maybe it's the card that it's not right formated.. Dunno.. in th mean while, i'll want for your check up lyndel4
Thanks,

Im with the same problem, my SPV M600 work fine for sometime with my Kingston SD 2gb, and suddenly it doesn't work more. I trayed many ways to have it working, but i guess this a hardware problem yet.
I dont know what i do. ;/
EDIT:
I had this problem repaired changing the card's brand, I'm using now Apacer http://emea.apacer.com/en/products/Secure_Digital_Card.htm
The Prophet only read's SD card's, not SDhc card's
I have a 4 GB SD card bought here:

Hi
I got my Prophet for 20€, because the Ccrdreader should'nt work any more. I took a needle and carefully pulled realy lof of dust flocks from the card reader. There was some dust collected over several years. Now the reader works again - juuhuu.
Same thing with my older charmer.
Try to get the dust from the slot - with thin needle , be carefully and dont berak or bend any pins inside.
I have the same problem, work fine sd card but sundly not work good ... sometimes read other no
i have test others roms and sd cards and problem exist ....
