Hi,
is there a menu setting or registry change I can apply to stop my MDAc from switching on when I insert or remove the SD memory card?
Cheers
Not really me thinks. But you can use the SD Switcher posted earlier elsewhere to disable the SD card until needed. Saves your battery (apparently) and prevents genital warts. However, after testing, inserting an SD card just re-enables the slot and still switches it on.
There is a more heavy duty registry based solution I think, but I don't recommend it.

hmmm,
The Problem is that whenever I remove the SD Card and re-insert, tomtom resets all my POI settings, are am I barking up the wrong tree here?

Hi,
- something that's irritated me for a while now but I've never posted on it before:
I only turn bluetooth on when I need it. When I click the bluetooth tray icon, the settings screen takes ages to show. The close icon in the top right of the screen shows (as if it's partially loaded) but it takes 10-30 seconds for the remainder of the screen to show.
Is there an explanation for this behaviour - I can't find any similar topics on the matter. Anyway round it..?
cheers

I have also experienced this... from what I have found it mostly happens after switching on the device... sometimes it can take serval minutes for bluetooth setings to show!!
I have narrowed it down to the sd card... if you remove your sd card then the problem goes away!!
Upgrading to the 1.72 rom seems to have made this a lot better now, I only have to wait no more than 4 secs... :lol:

SD card and new ROM
Upgrading to the new ROM certainly improved things. I hadn't thought about removing the SD card.
If I use the 'Ultraprofiler' and select the appropriate profile i.e. flight/normal it shuts down/starts up the radio really quickly so I do it that way sometimes.
It's just that I make a habit of turning it off before I go to bed so that it isn't draining the battery all night - don't suppose it uses much power mind.
Most of my software is stored on my mini SD card. If my device has been in sleep mode for some time, I get a "storage card has beem removed" error if I have left an app open. Alternatively, if I haven't left an ap open, it takes some time after waking the device before the apps on the storage card work properly.
I have been assuming that some sort of power manager on the Wizard kicks in to turn the storage card off - is this correct or do I have some sort of fault?
If it is correct, is there any way to make the storage card wake up faster when I turn the device on? [at the moment, if I am impatient, I remove and reinsert the card - which seems to work - but can't be a terribly good thing to do].
Many thanks
Chris
I am running into the same problem, if anyone has any suggestions please let us know.
Any experience the following and have answers to them?
1) Slow loadup of Keypad option (2-5 secs)
It that a "THOROUGH" Hard-reset will solve the problem.
No Registry settings or software will help.
With the fix, the load up still slower than the ATOM....
2) Slow toggle between the 3 tabs in the setting menu.
3) Bluetooth file transfers frequently abort with errors
4) Intermittent Screen Alignment issues. (Especially upon switch on)
I haven't had any of those problems. Every now and then it will hang for a second or two, but that's usually with 3 or 4 apps open and it is literally just a second or two slowdown. One of the things I did right after a hard reset was the WM5 performance enhancements that can be found here:
http://www.trendsmobile.com/main/showsection.asp?SectionID=96
This seemed to speed things up quite a bit.
Settings not Saved.
It seems that "Battery Power" Settings under the Backlight section does not get register after a soft reset.
The settings I'm referring to are " Turn off backlight if device is not used for XX mins"
In addition, Under the Advanced tab of the Power Section, "Turn off device if not used for xx mins" the settings are also lost after a soft reset.

my 818pro has a few problems
1) Auto reset without warning
2) SD card occasionally cannot be detected [ soft reset to get it work again ]
3) Activesync sometimes causes ppcphone to hang
4) Wifi sometimes cannot turn on

i have same problems for no 2 & 4. Try 2 GB Corsair 133x speed..some times not detected..then change it with 1GB Corsair 60x speed.. a bit steady but..sometime still no detected !
818Pro Problem
Yes, I also encountered that SD card cannot be detected or disappeared sometimes! It was quite strange!!

I am also got such problems, if I install the process monitor and GPRS monitor software such as HandySwitcher, and SPB monitor, the phone sometimes will auto reset without any action, if didn't install, I didn't find this problem( I am not sure)
Usual SD card cna't be detected. Sometimes, when I turn on the phone, (not restart), the SD card disappeared, I try to reinsert the card, ok, card appeared, but sometimes, I must restart the phone then the problem can be solved.
I don't know the problem is hardware or software issues, anybody know it? If this is hardware issues? I think maybe no way to solve it lo!!!!! Maybe the Dopod can call them back?HOHOHOOHOHO

yes, i also encounter that problems...
for no.1, the salesman said that the ROM isn't stable enough... so, i must wait for the stable ROM...
no.2, even i use a SD card that supplied with my 818pro [Dopod, 1 GB], it's still sometimes can't be detected, even after plug-unplug the SD card...
no.3, the ActiveSync also sometimes launched itself, even it's not used during my sleep..., after i wake up, the activesync is launched itself... :x
but, for no.4 [wifi] i don't have a problem...
is there any answer for the problems that WE have???
thx...
Re Dopod 818 Problem
My dopod has a problem on wifi & call drop ( signal ). My wifi absolutely gone now... before it was work.
Does anyone know why the ringtone on my exec keeps reverting back to the o2 tune randomly?
At a rough guess, you've set your ringtone to a file on the SD card, and every now and then when the exec goes into standby, it's unmounting the SD card. If it wakes up via a phoen call, it doesn't have time to re-mount the SD, and is falling back to the default one?
Just a guess mind you.
Thanks for your reply, however I am using one of the default ringtones of "ringer" which is not on the SD card.
I have found, and deleted, the crappy o2 tune from the PDA so it'll not revert to it in future, I will see how it copes from now on
I got my HTC Universal yesterday, hence the newbie tag, feel free to point me at any wiki or faq that will help me, my first most pressing issue is that if the phone sleeps (i.e. left for a few minutes in battery mode) it forgets that the SD card is inserted and after waking it i have to eject and reinsert. I can live with reinserting after a restart or soft reset but this is really annoying. How can i get around it?
Edit Solved : Turned out to be a dodgy SD card and nothing wrong with the HTC!

Welcome to the forum
Try to install Advanced Config, with that app you can turn of the disable sleep mode for SD but your battery will suffer the consequences, I have not that problem
Good luck,
And dont forget to vote!
I've figured out how to turn on/off sleep mode now and have got the hang of that but it'd still be great for it to auto-detect the SD card on waking from sleep, even if i have to run a tiny teeny app (via shortcut!) to force it to notice it, instead of having to physically unclick, wait, click, wait to use the sd card.
To conserve power i basically keep it in standby 90% of the time - as i don't use it as a phone - so this is actually a bit annoying.
Have you tried changing the SD-Type in Settings\System\SD Settings?
There is no "SD Settings" in Settings/System
(Windows Mobile 5.0
Version 5.1.159
Build (14847.2.0.0))
Do you use a SDHC Card?
install a sdhc driver may solve the problem
No, normal SD card
