my Qtek s100 can't write or modify nothing on SD card !! Does anybody knows this problem ? Should i format SD in FAT or FAT32 mode ?
FAT(16) is preferred. I have a 512MB card & it's quicker now I changed the format to FAT. There's a thread about 4GB MMC cards & they conclude the same.
M
4GB...OMG...
& they don't even know how to get it filled http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32265&start=25

My Kingston 512M SD (toshiba OEM) seems not compatible with XDA2.
The writing speed is slow (compare to lexar), and the machine always can't read the data on the SD. Sometimes the data on the card became read only. However the card works perfectly on my digital cam and card read.
Anyone got a Toshiba or Kingston 512M SD can test for me?
I had the same problem w/ my new 512 Mb Kinston SD card too.
My solution was to re-format the SD card this way:
FAT
16K blocks
Don't use FAT32 as that slows things down IMHO.
YMMV

Thanks :lol: .
It seems perform a lot better with FAT16 and 16K blocks.
I think there must a bug in the OS because O2 never test SD card above 256M.
I've got a viking 512MB SD card from www.ebuyer.co.uk and it works fine.
Can I check how it is formated?
If you got a card reader, I think you can check it in the windows.
Use the command prompt , type "chkdsk X:" (x = your card reader's drive letter) and you can see the block size and the file system of the card.
Hi
I bought my wife an XDA II a while ago on ebay -- all works fine but....
.... it's working on a 256mb SD card.
I now have a spare 1G and 2G SD card and trying to use them --- and they will not write or format
message ranges from "write protected" to "device in use" to "write failed"
Any ideas? - are they too new? are they too big, or do I need a special format program.
Cheers
Mike
I asked qtek about the maximum SD-card size. They said 2Gb, so I bought that. It is a 150x fast card. It works fine! Would like to have a 4Gb thou!
I have had no problems with my other SD-cards either (512kb and 1Gb). (All of them had been used in cameras before, no extra formatting needed).
Thanks for your reply, I will try a soft reset and then try again
Nothing I do works.
I have even tried Panasonic SDFormatter incase it's the formatting.
All errors so far this time say that the card is write protected - but it's not
Mmmmm
I've got it ...
Checked all the messages about SD cards and one suggested a fix.
It's physical - I just need a label over the write protect switch
also remember to format teh card from your pc in a card reader, and dont format as fat32, it must be fat16 or just fat, my m1000 hates fat32 and wont let me reformat or read the card.
Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my sd card.
I have a 4Gb transcend 150x card in my G4 prophet (s200) and reading is so slow.
Here i post a benchmark done by sktools:
Storage Card (write) : 31.75 Kb/sec
Storage Card (read) : 798.18 Kb/sec
I think reading time is so slow.
I have spanish qtek rom 2.20 and test was done using sktools 3.1.1
I have formated the sd in fat32 using computer sd card reader, but nothing goes better.
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
umm this is just a thought but have you checked the partition?
thats usually the end of most problems regarding SD cards.
What do you mean whith checking the partition?
I have formated the card twice one with panasonic formater
Best.
no check and rebuild the partition, formatting wont do much if the partition is corupted.
get something called Partition manager you can get a demo version that will do it. use your card reader and delete the active partition (remember to get your info off it first) then reinstall the partition format and mount the card.
see if that helps
Thanks very much, it seems that partition is ok and i also tried another memory card with the same results.
Could you please do the same test and tell me your results, rom version and memory brand and size.
Best.

hey guys,
i heard someone say to format sd card preferably with 64kb memory allocation, than 32kb (maybe default for his card) for android builds....
well, i don't know which size his card had, but for my 2gb sd card 16kb allocation is maximum...
shall i format it with this size?
