Exec losing focus of SD card

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.

Readyboost problem after resumn from sleep

Hi ALL, i have enable the ready boost service and i can see my sd card fine after resumn from sleep. However i have notice a problem which i after i resum from sleep, the SD card seems to re-write the whole readyboost cache again, i can notice the OS slow down during that period, and also the HD light keep flashing meaning it's working and spinning busy at the back. If i disable the ready boost, i notice no such problem after resumn.
Any one know the solution to this? or can you all check whether yours is doing the same?
BTW, i have update to sp1.....

I have the same problem and I have sp1 too.
I have an other problem too (experienced by many users in other posts): when I wake up the system from sleep or hybernate many times my sd disappear, so no more readyboost!
This morning I had the usual problem of sd disappearing so I decided to restart the system to have readyboost back on. It's been so a long restart! For many minutes the hd continued to work and the system was really slow!
I think Htc have to solve theese issues because it's annoying! Even if I'm sure that xda forum will find those solution much before!

I don't know what's going on, but my shift now has no drop out of SD card at all after sleep, i notice this after i complete re-install the Vista, don't know if that's the solution, at least the SD stays there now.
However i still have the hard-disk keeping spinning problem after resume when using ready boost, so i now have disable ready boost, until the problem is solve, i am happy without it.

HD Mini looses Storage Card during tomtom

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.

Auto hard reset - wp7

anyone else with this problem? i decided to stop using wp7 after a couple of auto - hard reset after every 4-5 days of usage and countless hours of deploying side applications and dreadful unlocking chevrons and activation codes and etc... %@$%
SIGH.
anyone who can solve this problem is much appreciated.

i once had this issue, too: turned my hd2.7 on in the morning, had a look at the display and voila - all settings are gone to factory state (brown tiles, english lanquage, all my apps were gone, too....) first time i was shocked; but then i discovered that this behaviour was the result of the non-compatibility of my sd-card! i switched my device off, pulled out the sd-card, re-inserted it directly after pulling it out and as i startet my hd2.7 again, all settings, apps and data were back!!!!! seemes to me, that any sort of cache or ram partition on the card runs into full after a few days of continouus using the device, and then the card disappears from the raid-system, looking to the user like performing a hard-reset... it's just like you would have startet your divice without the card insertet then.
for me, the solution was to buy a stated-as-compatible sandisk 8gb class 2 card - now all my wp7 problems are gone away

thank you my mannn!
edit: it doesnt work, it keeps auto reboot before even entering the home (tiles). and sumtimes when it gets in, it is factory resetted.

SD card gets locked after transferring data

Hi all
Hope everyone enjoying there HD2 with Android as I am having great time with it. Beside one problem its working great the problem is-
Once I transfer data from PC to HD2 in mass storage mode the memory card gets locked. I mean Phone does not respond very well and everything starts showing FC. Solving this problem I always have to restart the phone and most of the time I have to pull out the battery as nothing responds. So what could be the problem?
This problem occurs with only non sense ROM with sense ROM it works absolutely fine.
P.S- I always remove the phone after clicking safely remove from windows and then I turn off the mass storage mode in phone and I have already formatted the card but still problem is there.
Hope some one has solution of it. Thanks in advance.
