Hi all,
I'm sure I saw a post about a registry key that would stop the SD card being dis-mounted every time the device went into standby.
I find it really annoying that if I'm running an app from the SD card and it goes into standby mode that the app (on resume) dies as the SD card isn't immediately re-mounted.
I've tried searching (both with search and manually!) but can't find it - can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
Hi all,
I take it no-one has any ideas on this?

I have most of my programs on the SD card of my Exec. Any programs that are running are closed if the Exec is turned off and then back on. I even see this happen when reading ebooks if the Exec auto powers off and is then switched back on. Never had this problem with the XDA2!
I'm having trouble finding a solution or even obtaining much info about this problem but I gather than the Exec loses focus of the SD card after a power off and the running programs close. I've tried this registry hack but it doesn't seem to kake any difference:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\]
"PNPUnloadDelay"="8192" (originally set at 4096)
"PNPWaitIODelay"="8192" (originally set at 4096)
Anyone have any suggestions for a fix? I can't be the only one who finds it annoying having to restart programs every time their Exec is turned off and back on again.
Applications on SD closes after XDA EXEC is turned off
Has anyone face a similar issue as above? I have been trying to look for a solution for a long time but I can't seem to find much information to date.
I hope this is not an isolated issue by a few people. Appreciate anyone with information to give some advice on this.
I'm using XDA EXEC on the AKU2 rom
For me this problem sows up with windows media player, if I'm listening to music and pause it for 5 mins, the exec falls asleep !! when I wake it up again, it has forgotten what I was listening to
I even had the problem with MS Reader installed in the device memory - so not just a problem with apps on the SD card
Just to add my voice to the chorus. I have the exact same problem. I'm running the MDA Pro with the Qtek aku 2 rom.
Ive taken to installing all my software to main memory, and now I only have 3 MB free in main storage, while my 1GB SD card goes wasted!
Surur
Same problem. Exec goes idle, switch the power back on, press play and get a popup "unknown error" with an ID code.
Anyone got a fix? Haven't noticed a problem with TomTom5 so far but as for MP3's i have to reset my playlist every so often.
I too get thsi problem occasionally, sometimes even when the unit is still on, the storage acrd disappears. I've even seen it happen when TomTom is running :shock: I simply pop out theSD card, wait a couple of seconds, pop it back in and all is well again. Its a nuisance, but I think its related more to the quality of the SD card than anything else. I have an ADATA 4Gb 150x card
this problem is not new
and it's not isolated to just Exec.
Just google for "wm5 storage card disappear", you'll find lots of discussions on this at aximsite, pocketpcthoughts, etc. The conclusion seems to boil down to HTC coming out with a SD card driver fix in a future rom.
Hi,
I have noticed that each time when my xda exec wakes up from suspend mode, it takes 8-15seconds to respond. I have tried with memory cards of 128mb/512mb/4GB/8GB on WM5/WM6 roms and the problem is still here. But when I removed the memory card however, it wakes up instantly without freezing. I would like to know if there are any solutions to make it respond instantly when waking up?
Thanks.
This is probably because you have an app installed on your SD card that runs when device wakes up, try to install that app on main memory.
Thanks orb3000, you are right - it was a today plugin that reads the amount of free space on my sdhc card that froze the phone.
Sigh, I should have never returned my original EVO, seems like the new phone I got last week is giving me nothing but headaches. First it was rooting issue, and now I'm experiencing SD card unmounting issue, the phone will not recognize the card for no apparent reason during use (sometimes when I'm not even doing anything). Once it happens, I can't access any music, pictures, apps that are stored in SD card, and only fixes itself once I reboot the phone and after couple minutes it unmounts again. My beautiful widget will stop working and will be missing couple of numbers on the clock and that's how I know it has unmounted the SD card. Is anyone having the same issue as me? and if so can anyone recommend a fix for this problem?
I've tried reformatting, taking the SD card out and putting it back in, re-rooting the phone, nothing seems to work.
I have no suggestions other than returning the phone.

Hello, since a few months, my Tomtom 7.916 crashes regularly. It has 3 appearences:
1) complete freeze, need to remove battery
2) distorted screen
3) crashing program: gives message that files from storage card cannot be read.
In case of 2) and 3), my HD mini seems not able to find the Storage Card anymore: both in settings and in explorer. After a soft reset, the card is back again. During sommer Holiday, I did not have any issue at all. The only thing I remember from that time is that at some stage, the storage card was known as storage card2, which was also quite annoying though, but that happened only once or twice: my issue now happens everytime I use Tomtom, sometimes once every hour, sometimes once every minute.
Any ideas are welcome.
i have faced the same issue i lost all my data and apps that was stored on my memory card , it happened after i was using the the phone while being plugged to the pc and i restated my phone cuz it was stuck (still plugged ) after i switched on back the phone to my surprise i cudnt read my installed apps it says either the app is removed or relocated but then when i went to the explorer file to take a look at my storage card i found it empty !!!!!! i lost all the data there
i have a 8 GB memory card so im guessing maybe the issue is from the card itself or that its from china!! i have no clue yet, up to now its working fine .
ok, I must say in my case, I never lost any data from the storage card. But indeed, it cold still be the cause of the problems. Are there any ways to reformat the SD card in order to obtain more reliabile performance? What did you do with it when you lost all the data?
Did another check:
when Tomtom is running, and I plug in the USB cable and choose the diskdrive option, I get exactly the same failure signature 1) 2) or 3) as listed above. So maybe, my HD mini sometimes "thinks" a data cable is connected iso just the charger. I know there has been an issue in the beginning with the HD mini not recognising when a charging cable was connected.
Any thought on this? Do I talk nonsense?
Try TTN7.917.9186_vga_black_cuckoo_NOBT instead of 916, had the same issues with 916 before!

Sorry, made a mistake in my first post: this 7.917.9186 is exactly the one I am already running.
Had the same issue with my storage card. Solved by reinstalling the same software again (7.916)
Does it only happen with tom tom? I haven't used tom tom today, but my SD card suddenly is gone ! This is the second time in a few months...and it really annoys me, it really looks like a bug in WM. Thankfully this time, after a reboot it works again....
I had similar effects also without Tomtom, but then the storage card became "storage card 2". And after a reboot it became "storage card" again. But with Tomtom I completely loose the card, and it comes back after reboot. So a bit different, but your case could have the same reason. I will try a reinstall.
Hey. i was wondering if anyone else was getting freezes and issues when listening to music from the sd card using the default android music app in CM7.
For the last couple of weeks my phone will play music for a little while just fine but then randomly the music app will freeze up, my sd card will stop working and so far the only way I have found to fix it is to restart the phone. sometimes the phone wont even restart properly, so i have to pull the battery to get it to work again.
I ordered a new sd card online today, so hopefully when it comes the problem will be fixed. But for now it is very annoying and i was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and can confirm for me that it is the sd card and not some other problem
thanks
